Nightfall

During the events of Nightfall, Ellis was contacted by Mike Novick on a secure line. Senator David Palmer authorized an operation to take out Balkan war criminal Victor Drazen. Palmer was asked to sanction the covert operation by the president. Ellis had to gather a Delta Team together, which was lead by Jack Bauer. Stephen Saunders was also a member of the special operations team. When the mission back-fired and Drazen's daughter and wife were killed, it was Ellis' job to make sure Palmer and Bauer never met.

Ellis speaks to Jack while in the restroom.

Senator Palmer demanded to speak with Jack after he was taken into custody. After Palmer learned about Ira Gaines and Jack's family being kidnapped, Jack and Palmer were able to find a connection. They called Ellis, who told them that they were both involved in Operation Nightfall. Palmer managed to get Jack reinstated as the Special Agent in Charge of CTU LA and Jack worked with Ellis for the remainder of the hour.

With help from Milo Pressman, Ellis was able to find intel that suggested Andre Drazen was behind the assassination plot on Palmer. The senator had to return to his campaign, so he left Jack and Ellis alone to work together. As Ellis used the restroom, he was assassinated with a garrote. Jack tried to call him back, but when he couldn't get in touch with him, he contacted Agent Watson at CTU New Orleans. CTU discovered Ellis dead in the bar and they weren't able to identify the killer.
