Event Year: 2001

Jack and Doyle head up field ops while tracking Gredenko and Fayed, and the Vice President’s decision sends shockwaves through his administration.

Ray uses the component to bargain for his family’s freedom, but Ahmed only grants half his wish. Chloe moderates an argument between Morris and Milo, while Walid overhears information in the detention center that may be of use to CTU. Wayne agrees to pardon Assad in the face of his efforts to aid Jack; a gesture that does not sit well with an enraged Curtis. Jack follows a lead given to the police by Jillian, but his information comes too late to stop Fayed from launching another deadly strike.

Jack tries to trace Morris’s location, while Fayed uses harsh tactics to gain his cooperation. Lennox contemplates his resignation in the face of Wayne’s rebuke, but Reed suggests an extreme course of action that may result in a change in leadership. Wayne meets with Assad and pressures him to publicly renounce terrorism.
