Day 4

Robert Morrison arms Habib Marwan's stolen nuclear missile

Morrison was wired money periodically by Marwan in return for activating a stolen "S-series" Legacy nuclear warhead in Iowa, as well as a cruise missile on which it would be mounted, in cooperation with Marwan's technician, Sabir Ardakani.

Morrison was troubled by the frequent, very prying phone calls that Sabir received from his girlfriend, Nabilla Al-Jamil, who began to suspect her boyfriend's involvement with the day's terrorists. Robert communicated his distrust of Sabir's girlfriend to Marwan, and later sent a well-armed hitman to have her silenced. The hitman killed CTU field agents Bergen and White but was eventually killed by Chloe O'Brian before he could kill Nabilla.

Later, Morrison, coordinating with Marwan and Yassir, acquired the computer instructions needed to launch the nuclear bomb after loading it into a missile, and he successfully launched it. Hours later, the missile was shot down by the Air Force moments before it hit its target, Los Angeles.
