Jack has attempted to start a new life by dating a
woman named Freesia Collins. He has also moved to
Quebec, Canada. As a twist, Jack discovers Freesia
works for CTU Minneapolis in Minnesota and that she
lied about her job as a teacher. He learns this when
he checks the messages from the house they live in.
Jack is upset about her lies, but she says that CTU
Los Angeles has come upon some intel that suggests
that terrorists are attempting to pull off something
like 9/11. They are going to hijack a plane from
Quebec into New York in about two hours, and they will
attack the newly built Farrell Building there.
Jack doesn’t care. He wonders when Freesia was going
to tell him this, she says she wasn’t, she was just
going to break up with him that day and leave the
house. Jack is astonished, then he realizes she asked
to move to Quebec last month just because of this
intel, and he also realizes she was going to be the
agent to go on the plane and attempt to stop this.
She then receives a call from Bill Buchanan and he
asks if she is ready to go on the plane. Out of
impulse Jack grabs the phone and demands that he goes
on the plane so that Freesia doesn’t die.
Bill is stunned to learn that Freesia had been dating
Jack, but he says he will let Jack go.
Freesia asks Jack not to go for her, but he says he is
going because he doesn’t want her to possibly die. He
also says he cannot stand another painful relationship
with lies involved and so he breaks up with her.
Over time Jack gets on the plane with a gun that he
buys. He gets on with the gun because he explains the
situation and that his mission is to be covert.
After the plane takes off and Jack manages to
establish contact with CTU Los Angeles and CTU
Minneapolis things switch back over to Freesia. It is
revealed when she gets a phone call from a terrorist
that she was supposed to get on the plane and initiate
the attack. She turns out to be a Canadian separatist
and a terrorist.
While Jack is on the plane Chloe, who is still
pregnant, begins searching names on the ticket list of
the plane and then she will cross-reference their
names with their known terrorist archive.
As the search for the terrorist continues Freesia, who
is really named Jeanette Bordeaux, meets with three
men who have stolen a U.S. Military plane that is
very, very fast. Apparently it could get to New York
before the plane does. Their Plan B is that once she
gets there she will use a device to cause the attack.
It is later revealed once she gets to New York that
the U.S. will be forced to shoot down the plane
because that will be the only way to stop the possible
hijacking, and her device will override the missiles
they will shoot and cause them to hit the Farrell
Building, and this will be better because it will look
like the U.S. attempting a false flag attack on
themselves.
In the middle of Chloe’s search she realizes her water
has broken and Morris has to rush her off to the
hospital. Bill doesn’t know how to run the search and
so he has to quickly get two replacements from
Division. After the replacements come the search
continues and the replacements learn that no one on
board has any terrorist history.
Jack suddenly realizes that Freesia was going to be on
the plane, and he asks them to search her name. They
begin to, but then Wayne Palmer, who is still the
president and has managed to recover, orders them to
shoot the plane down.
To make a long story short things go according to
Jeanette’s Plan B, and she overrides the missiles and
the Farrell Building is blown up.
Jack realizes that he was set up to distract the U.S.
while Freesia set up the missile override. He has his
theory confirmed when the replacements reveal that
Freesia was an alias and that her real name is
Jeanette Bordeaux.
Back in New York, as the citizens panic with what
looks like another 9/11, Jeanette manages to escape.
She enters a gas station and she asks a man there if
his car is the Corvette outside that was just filled
outside. He says it is and she says she is turned on
by Corvettes.
She then lures this man into the bathroom and says she
will have sex with him, when he gets in the bathroom
she drowns him in the toilet. Then she leaves with his
credit card. She manages to get the gas pump next to
the Corvette going with the card and she pulls out a
lighter and causes an explosion with the pump. This
kills herself and it blows up the entire gas station.
Jack manages to be grounded and he begins showing cops
Jeanette’s photo from his wallet at the airport. He
learns from one cop that amidst all of the panic at
the moment someone in his unit managed to spot this
woman. He gets a report back from this cop who says
the gas station she just went into just blew up. Jack
knows this was no accident.
Simultaneously the people in Washington D.C. see the
attack on the Farrell Building as a false flag since
the news reported that the missiles came from American
fighter jets. They begin a riot outside of the White
House.
Wayne and his staff escape in a helicopter that is
being sent immediately to New York to get a hold of
the situation. The rioters manage to get inside the
White House and they start a fire.
Jack calls CTU Los Angeles and tells them that
Jeanette caused an explosion at a gas station and thus
committed suicide. The replacements, Gerald Perish and
Erica Amos, reveal to Jack that Jeanette works for a
group of Canadian separatists. The leader is named
Pierre Fache. Jack wants background information on
Fache.
Back in Quebec, Fache is aptly watching events occur
on the television. He receives a call and is told to
start some shooting at the White House.
Fache then calls a SWAT person who is at the riot at
the White House and he tells him to start a shooting.
This SWAT person then starts shooting as many rioters
as he can. This triggers more shootings and more
deaths. In the midst of all of this a fire truck team
manages to put out the fire on the White House. Some
SWAT agents move in on the house and receive orders
from the agent who Fache called to shoot all of the
rioters who are on the inside. They begin shooting
everyone.
As the riot gets hotter one rioter sees Wayne’s
helicopter and grabs a SWAT agent’s gun and shoots up
at it.
The pilot of the helicopter says the engine has been
shot from the ground. Slowly the helicopter begins to
go down.
Jack is aptly watching the news at the airport and
hears of the breaking news that Wayne’s copter is
going down. He quickly calls Wayne’s cell phone and he
directs Wayne in how to safely land the helicopter. He
then tells Wayne that he will need to keep running
from the White House because the rioters will try to
kill him still.
The SWAT agent calls Fache and tells him that Wayne
managed to land the helicopter, Fache is outraged and
demands that he goes and kills Wayne so that it looks
lie not even SWAT thinks the attack on the Farrell
Building was an accident.
Jack demands that he get a helicopter so he can get to
Washington D.C. and attempt to stop the fighting.
Meanwhile, an agent from CTU Minneapolis, who is named
Phil Anders, is sent by Bill Buchanan to go into
Quebec and see if he can locate and capture Fache.
Jack is in the helicopter he requested and is heading
to D.C.
Quickly, Fache receives another call; it is revealed
that the person on the other line is ex-Vice President
Noah Daniels. Daniels says that he did not fund this
attack to be failed; he demands that Wayne be found
and killed.
When Daniels hangs up it is seen that out of the
window of his house a sniper is watching from some
bushes. Daniels gets on a radio and says into it,
“There! Fache is handling the assassination of Wayne
Palmer! Happy?” And the sniper answers back, “It is
good to know that threatening your life has made all
of this happen!”
Meanwhile, Wayne enters a restaurant with the pilot of
the helicopter. Here he demands to speak to the
manager. The manager asks what could possibly concern
the president. Wayne tells him there are rioters
outside of the White House and he wishes to hide out
here, disguised as a waiter, so that the rioters can’t
find him. The manager gives him a waiter’s uniform and
comments on how the safety of this country is a
fantasy.
Soon, the SWAT team agent comes into the restaurant
and shoots up the ceiling. He says he saw the
president walk in and demands to know where he is. He
says he must either kill the president or kill
everyone in the restaurant. Wayne jumps out along with
the pilot and they attack the agent. Wayne manages to
stab the man’s hand with a fork and this causes him to
drop his gun.
Wayne then begins to interrogate the agent. Panic has
of course broken out at the restaurant.
The agent will not say whom he is working for, and
Wayne says he knows who can help them get information
out of him. When the pilot guesses Wayne means Jack,
Wayne says no. Wayne says he is going to go to Noah
Daniels’s house and see what Noah can do.
They get the SWAT agent’s keys and get into his car.
Meanwhile, Phil Anders lands his helicopter in Quebec
near a cabin. Phil goes into the cabin with his gun
drawn and a suitcase in his hand.
After a little search of the cabin Phil finds Fache.
Fache asks if Phil brought the package. Phil opens the
suitcase and it is revealed that this is one of the
suitcase nukes Fayed had threatened to use.
“Fayed failed at using this. It is time to finish the
job!” says Fache. Phil says that some CTU agents may
have followed him here since he took the nuke and they
probably noticed. Fache tells him to shoot any agents
who come while he gets in another plane like the one
Jeanette used to fly over Chicago and then blow up the
city. When Phil asks what he should do if there are
too many agents Fache says, “A bullet to the head will
fix that problem.” He then leaves the cabin.
Wayne gets to Noah’s house in the car. On the radio,
the sniper asks who has pulled up. Noah says he
doesn’t know. When the sniper sees that it is Wayne he
says he will shoot Wayne. Quickly Noah runs out into
his driveway and runs in front of Wayne and takes the
bullet. Wayne sees what’s going on and he gets down.
Wayne begins firing at the sniper with the gun he got
from the SWAT agent.
As Noah is dying he says that the sniper threatened to
kill him if he did not cause Wayne’s death. Wayne
manages to shoot the sniper, but not fatally. As he
goes over to the sniper Jack sees Wayne on his PDA in
the helicopter via satellite and he begins to land.
When Jack touches down Wayne tells Jack about
everything that has happened. Jack demands to
interrogate both the sniper and the SWAT agent.
Jack calls Bill and tells him about the sniper and
everything. Bill tells him to interrogate the captured
men. Bill then receives a call from CTU Minneapolis.
They tell him Phil Anders stole the suitcase nuke they
had possessed from CTU Los Angeles and they believe he
gave it to Fache. Bill says this is great Déjà Vu.
After he hangs up he suddenly begins to twitch and to
fall over. The other CTU agents see this and they call
in the medical team.
Meanwhile, Jack is interrogating the sniper. The
sniper says he wants immunity before he says anything.
Wayne grants it because he doesn’t know what else to
do.
The sniper says an Asian man that he only met once
hired him and he doesn’t know his name. Jack asks if
the sniper ever had any pictures of the man that he
could send to CTU to locate the man who hired him. The
sniper says he has photos at his house. Jack says he
wants to be brought to the sniper’s house, but first
he wants information from the SWAT agent.
Jack then gets a call from CTU. They inform Jack that
Bill just had a heart attack and that he’s just gone
to the hospital. Jack asks if anyone knew of Bill’s
heart condition. No one knew about it, and they
suspect it was stress-related. Jack is in a state of
shock.
They also Jack who he thinks is qualified to run CTU.
Jack says Mike Doyle is. This is the end of the call.
Jack then demands that the SWAT agent tells him whom
he is working for. After Jack threatens to use a
chainsaw he finds in Noah’s garage to saw off one of
the SWAT agent’s arms he reveals he received phone
calls from Fache that were orders. He was hired by
Fache to start shootings at the White House and then
to assassinate Wayne. When Jack asks what caused Fache
to attack the U.S., the SWAT agent says Fache is a
terrorist extremist who was funded by Noah to cause
these attacks. The sniper says that Noah funded Fache
because he had started watching his house and
threatened to kill him. Jack realizes that everything
revolves around him finding the man who hired the
sniper and then arresting him.
Meanwhile, Mike Doyle is instated as CTU Los Angeles’s
Director. He then receives a call from CTU
Minneapolis. The CTU Minneapolis Director, Carl
Francis, tells him that Phil Anders was captured up in
Quebec. They were told that Fache escaped with the
suitcase nuke. Mike was not aware of any of this, and
says he wants a recap. He tells Carl that he is the
new director since Bill had a heart attack.
Carl informs Mike about everything. Then as Jack as
driving to the sniper’s house Mike calls him and
informs him of the suitcase nuke. Jack also comments
on the Déjà Vu. Jack tells Mike to locate the plane
Fache escaped in and to shoot it down. Mike says this
wouldn’t be the best idea since this could trigger the
nuke to go off. Jack says he’ll come up with something
and call back.
Jack pulls up to the sniper’s house. Jack tells Wayne
to wait in the car, since he has gone with him. Jack
and the sniper enter the house. Suddenly Jack sees a
bomb. In his haste he jumps out of the window as the
bomb goes off.
Wayne is shocked to see this, but before he can react
two vans come by and armed men jump out. They shoot
both the pilot and the SWAT agent, but they grab Wayne
and kidnap him.
Jack wakes up a little too late.
At the hospital Bill is seen awake. A doctor comes in
and tells him he had a near fatal heart attack. He
will for now need to stay away from CTU because the
stress-level could cause him to have a second attack
that could kill him. The doctor recommends rest and so
Bill is left to sleep.
Jack comes to and sees that the house was indeed blown
up. He then finds an ashen photograph in the debris.
He sees that this photo is of Cheng Zhi. Jack realizes
Cheng hired the sniper and thus was behind everything
that happened today. “Son of a *****!” Jack says.
Jack calls Mike and has him confirm that Cheng is
indeed in holding in Africa. Mike says that after
looking at the archive it looks like Cheng’s file was
destroyed. Jack tells Mike about what he found.
Things switch over to Africa where Cheng is seen
waling calmly through a village there. He pulls out a
satellite phone and calls someone. It’s Fache. Cheng
tells Fache to bring the nuke to him as promised so
that he can retrieve the circuit board and thus aid
China against Russia lie he had planned before. Fache
says he doesn’t care about what Cheng wants; he just
wants to blow up Chicago as he had planned. Cheng
demands that Fache does as he’s ordered to do. Fache
asks Cheng how he can stop him when he’s in Africa.
Fache then hangs up.
Cheng calls some mercenaries and tells them that Fache
is no longer working for him. He tells them to stop
Fache’s plane and to obtain the nuke. They can blow up
any city they want with it, but they must get the
circuit board back to China where it can be analyzed
and thus it can be decrypted for Chinese Military use.
The mercenaries are already in a plane. They are right
next to Fache’s plane. Fache sees how Cheng could stop
him from Africa. Quickly Fache shoots the mercenaries’
plane down and it crashes.
At CTU Los Angeles Mike hears about Fache’s plane
crashing in Chicago from Carl. Mike tells Carl to send
a TAC team from CTU Chicago to the crash site along
with a HAZMAT team. Carl goes ahead and does that.
Fache climbs out of the plane alive with the nuke in
hand. He immediately opens it. Out of nowhere comes
the CTU Chicago TAC Team. They ask that he step away
from the device. He refuses and is about to detonate
the bomb when suddenly the mercenaries show up and
kill Fache. A gunfight ensues and the TAC Team is
taken out. As the HAZMAT team arrives the mercenaries
escape with the nuke. The HAZMAT Team calls Carl and
tells him about the mercenaries and their escape with
the weapon. Carl hangs up and then receives another
call. It is from Cheng.
Cheng says that he is upset with Carl because he
organized Cheng’s escape, but failed to coordinate his
trip back to the United States. Carl apologizes and
hangs up.
Carl then calls Jack. Carl reveals to Jack that he
coordinated Cheng’s escape, but now he wants to help
Jack stop the terrorists by sending Cheng to
Washington D.C. where Jack can question him and get
some more information. Jack is grateful for this
opportunity and asks Carl if he knows where the
mercenaries are bringing the nuke. Carl says he will
call Cheng and find out, but first he must reveal
himself to his co-workers and explain the situation.
Cheng then calls the men in the vans that have
kidnapped Wayne. He tells them to allow him to talk to
Wayne. When Wayne finds out Cheng is behind everything
he is shocked. Cheng says his men have control of one
of the nukes Fayed had used before and that Wayne must
let Cheng get away with the circuit board or he will
order the men to kill him. Wayne refuses and as a
shocking twist Wayne is killed then and there.
Jack is driving and he sees the vans that took away
Wayne. Quickly, Jack shoots the vans’ tires and a
gunfight ensues. Long story short, Jack kills all of
the men and finds Wayne’s corpse. Jack yells out “Why
did this have to happen? Why does everybody I care
about die?” In surrender, Jack points his own gun at
his head; he is about to commit suicide when the phone
rings again.
Jack throws away the gun and answers it. It’s Cheng
and he asks if Wayne is dead. Jack reveals himself and
tells him he knows about him being the mastermind of
today’s attack. Cheng quickly hangs up.
To make this story short Cheng calls Carl back and
lets him know that the attack will take place in
Washington D.C., then he calls the mercenaries who
have the nuke and he tells them the nuke must go off
in order to distract America so that Cheng can have
the package delivered. When he hangs up a supersonic
plane lands nearby. Inside the pilot, who is attached
to Carl Francis back in Minneapolis, brings Cheng.
Cheng grabs a gun and shoots him. Then he flies the
plane by himself.
Things twist some more, more plot would need to be
written, but eventually the mercenaries arrive in
Washington D.C., they manage to get in the White
House. As a twist, they need the bomb activated
properly by an engineer, who turns out to be Charles
Logan, who has changed his name and grown a lot of
hair to change his appearance. Jack finds out that
after Logan was brought to the hospital in the last
season he was saved by the doctors, and he managed to
escape. He’s been living under the name Mitchell
Flanders.
The TAC team from Secret Service who will help him
deal with the bomb meets Jack, but Jack soon gets a
call from Cheng. Cheng tells him that “things are not
as they seem” and that “soon there will be more deaths
across the globe.” Cheng also tells Jack that his
mercenaries have managed to compromise CTU Minneapolis
and that Carl Francis is dead.
While Cheng is on the phone Jack manages to trace
Cheng’s phone, and it appears Cheng is not anywhere
near Washington D.C., but he is actually in New York.
Jack has Mike send a plane to bring him to New York.
While the Secret Service TAC team surrounds the White
House, where the terrorists have managed to bring the
bomb, and military tanks show up, something goes wrong
and Logan sets off the bomb. Washington D.C. is nuked.
Logan had become suicidal, a side-plot, before this
because he had lost his life, his wife, and his
presidency.
Cheng then lands his plane in New York and meets
someone in a building. We do not see this person’s
face until he is actually in a room with this person.
The person is Kimberly Bauer, Jack’s daughter. She has
with her another one of the nukes. Cheng manages
thanks Kim for her hassle. Then he removes the circuit
board and leaves Kim. Then he tells her, “What you
have done here today will help change the world. Soon,
China will rule the world!”
Somehow Jack makes to New York just in time to watch
Cheng’s plane get away.
After all of this confusion, the Vice President, who
has been instated as the new president, Jacob Gary,
arrives on the scene and on the news announces that
because Jack failed to stop Cheng that America will
have no choice but to conduct war with the Russians as
they had feared they might last season.
At the end of all of this Cheng calls Jack again and
tells him of how Kim helped him get the second nuke
and thus, getting him the circuit board he desired.
Jack soon finds Kim, and Mike tells Jack to shoot her
right then and there, because if he doesn’t know she
will most likely be sentenced to death anyway.
Kim says she got into aiding the Chinese when Chase
died, and she had gone to China for help. Instead she
had ended up being recruited by Cheng.
The season ends with Jack having to shoot Kim, and
then he screams at himself for a minute, then a TAC
team from CTU New York City shows up and one agent
tries to stop Jack from committing suicide. The agent
wrestles Jack for his gun and Jack is accidentally
shot in the leg. This is not a serious injury, but for
Jack’s own safety the handcuff him as they drag him
off in an ambulance to receive immediate attention.
