[edit] Season overview
Season Six (2007) is set 20 months after Season Five. Show designers acknowledge that they avoid the use of dates in order to have the show remain in a "perpetual now."[1]
After the events in Season Five and over the last 11 weeks before Day 6, the United States has been targeted coast-to-coast in a series of suicide bombings. A man named Abu Fayed agrees to give the U.S. the location of Hamri Al-Assad, the supposed terrorist mastermind of these attacks, in exchange for CTU Agent Jack Bauer with whom he has a personal grudge. As a result, President Wayne Palmer has negotiated the release of Bauer, who was illegally captured by Chinese Government Agents at the end of Day 5, under "high-price" terms.
However, while under torture from Fayed, Bauer finds out that Assad is actually trying to stop the attacks, and Fayed is the true mastermind. Jack manages to escape, and saves Assad from being killed in an air strike. Jack and CTU, with Assad's help, discover Fayed's true intention: to detonate nuclear bombs on U.S soil. Now Jack has the task to recover the remaining nuke, thus setting up the day's chain of events. ==Tagline== This time, it's personal
[edit] Major plots
The plot summary in this article or section is too long or detailed compared to the rest of the article. Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely reiterating the plot. |
- Episodes 1-4: Agent Jack Bauer, having been taken prisoner by China 20 months earlier, is released under a deal arranged by President Wayne Palmer. Jack is immediately asked to sacrifice himself to Abu Fayed, who has offered CTU Hamri Al-Assad, who is believed to be the terrorist mastermind behind the suicide bombings of the last 11 weeks, in exchange for Bauer. Bauer finds out, however, that Assad is actually trying to stop the attacks, and Fayed is the true mastermind. Bauer escapes, rescues Assad, and then prevents a subway bombing in Los Angeles. Bauer & CTU then find out that the bombings of recent weeks were all designed to distract the United States from Fayed's true objective: the detonation of five suitcase nuclear bombs across the United States. At the end of the fourth episode, Jack is forced to kill Curtis Manning to keep Assad alive and one bomb is detonated in Valencia, north of L.A.
- Episodes 5-11: Jack discovers that his father Phillip and brother Graem are involved in the plot as well as events in Day 5. After defusing one of the remaining bombs which was purposely activated by Fayed to aid his escape, Jack successfully rescues his nephew, Josh, from Phillip (who killed Graem because he was a liability). Phillip escapes, but leaves Jack a lead to call former President Charles Logan. President Logan claims that his connection with the Russian Consulate General, Anatoly Markov can help Jack find Dmitri Gredenko, a lead given by Assad. Gredenko provides Fayed with the bombs and is planning to arm RQ-2 Aerial Drones with the bombs to attack the U.S. At the White House, President Palmer refuses to implement security measures that would suspend civil liberties and refuses to take military action against countries some believe supported the attacks. Instead, he enlists Assad to make a speech to the world asking his people to give the U.S. information on locating Fayed and move towards peace. Some in the government, claiming to be true patriots, are unhappy with Palmer's plan, namely Deputy Chief of Staff Reed Pollock. He plans to assassinate the President and frame Hamri Al-Assad for the attack. Chief of Staff Tom Lennox tries to prevent such attempt, but he is unsuccessful as the podium explodes, killing Assad and leaving Palmer in critical condition.
- Episodes 12-15: As the president is in critical condition, Vice President Noah Daniels assumes executive powers and threatens to attack Fayed's country if they fail to stop Fayed. Logan fails to blackmail Markov successfully into giving up Gredenko, so Jack breaks back into the Russian Consulate and takes Markov hostage, torturing him until he gives up Gredenko's whereabouts. Gredenko and Fayed are in the desert, preparing to launch the nukes on the unmanned drones. Jack tries to contact CTU, but he is captured by the Russians. President Logan convinces his ex-wife Martha to call the Russian First Lady, Anya Suvarov, who convinces Russian President Yuri Suvarov to authorize CTU action against the consulate (led by new Director of Field Operations Mike Doyle). Jack immediately gives CTU Gredenko's location, but it is too late, as Gredenko has already launched a drone toward San Francisco. CTU manages to locate the drone pilot through a breach at CTU (for which Nadia Yassir is blamed, but later cleared), and Jack manages to crash land the drone. However, the bomb's nuclear core is compromised in the crash landing, releasing radiation, prompting Vice President Daniels to launch a nuclear strike against the Middle-East. Sandra Palmer gives consent to bring President Palmer out of his coma, and he is able to stop the attack.
- Episodes 16-17: Gredenko is captured by CTU and he agrees to cooperate in exchange for amnesty. But his cooperation is fake when he tells Fayed that it is a trap. Fayed cuts off Gredenko's left arm (which had a radioactive isotope embedded in it to track Gredenko) to escape, but Gredenko reveals Fayed's identity in a bar, where a mob successfully holds Fayed. Fayed is captured while Gredenko bleeds to death after escaping under a pier. Meanwhile, Palmer successfully fends off a challenge from Daniels, but reverses his position and himself orders the attack against Fayed's country. President Palmer's nuclear strike is revealed to be a ruse to pressure Fayed's country into revealing Fayed's associates. This information is then used in another ruse staged by CTU in an attempt to lure Fayed to reveal the location of the bombs. The ruse is unsuccessful, but Jack is able to follow Fayed. After a struggle with Fayed, Jack single-handedly kills Fayed and his men and finds the two remaining bombs. The crisis seems to be over. But then Jack receives a phone call from Audrey Raines who had been presumed dead in China, and is held by Cheng Zhi, the same agent who kidnapped and tortured Jack for the past two years. Zhi then gives Jack a number to call, threatening to kill Audrey if Jack doesn’t cooperate.
- Episodes 18-19: Cheng demanded that Jack obtain a circuit board from the suitcase nuke in exchange for Audrey's freedom. The board would give the Chinese access to Russia's defense codes, which could spark a crisis if the Russians find out. With Chloe's help, Jack tries to retrieve the circuit board, knowing that CTU would not support his action. But Morris discovers her activities and forces Chloe to tell Buchanan about Jack's action. Doyle disables Jack, who asks to speak to the President to request authorization to save Audrey. President Palmer reluctantly agrees after Jack guarantees he will not allow the Chinese to get the board, and that he would sacrifice himself with it if necessary. Meanwhile, with the nuclear crisis over, President Palmer and his staff return to the Oval Office where Palmer demands that Vice President Daniels resign using the evidence about his perjury, but President Palmer collapses from inter-cranial bleeding during a press conference before Daniels resigns. After Daniels assumes executive duties, he reverses Palmer's order for Jack's operation and Jack turns rogue, determined to save Audrey. He and Cheng meet to do the exchange, but Doyle and his team, who have tracked Jack down, attack Cheng's men just as Audrey is freed and Jack gives up the board to Cheng. Jack is arrested before he can destroy the board, and Cheng escapes with it. Audrey is safe, but she is in a trance-like state and seems to have had a mental breakdown as she does not recognize Jack.
- Episodes 20-21: Russia discovers that the Chinese have the circuit board through a leak in the White House staff. Lisa Miller, Daniels' aide with whom he is romantically involved, is also in a sexual relationship with Mark Bishop who, unknown to her, spies for the Russians by stealing classified information from her PDA. Russian President Suvarov threatens to launch an attack if the US government fails to retrieve the board. Lennox advises acting President Daniels to use Miller's connection to trick Russia into believing that the US has retrieved the board. Cheng has possession of the board, but discovers that it has been damaged and knows who can fix it. Back in CTU, a Division doctor is preparing a dangerous procedure to drug Audrey so that she will provide information to CTU about Cheng. Doyle helps Jack to escape custody so that he can get information from Audrey without her being hurt. Jack takes Audrey out of Medical by force and takes cover in a room. Audrey is still semi-catatonic, but provides a name (Bloomfield) which CTU thinks may be where Cheng held her. Jack agrees to let Nadia take Audrey because she promises him that Audrey will be safe. Jack goes back into custody and Nadia sends a tactical team led by Doyle to intercept Cheng. The team discovers Cheng's hideout which has the empty crates from a significant amount of weaponry, which suggests they are about to launch an attack. The target is soon revealed to be CTU. CTU is infiltrated by the Chinese, led by Zhou, and most members of CTU are taken hostage. After the assault, Milo is fatally shot when he steps up to protect Nadia. Meanwhile Jack convinces his guard to release him from the cell, and kills several Chinese operatives before rendezvousing with Marilyn and Josh, who are still inside CTU. Marilyn and Jack are soon captured while Josh attempts to escape through an air duct. Cheng orders Zhou to find Josh, as it becomes apparent that he is the "package" that they are looking for. After his mother's life is threatened, Josh reveals himself to Zhou. It is discovered that Cheng had made a deal with Phillip Bauer, who has agreed to repair the component in exchange for his grandson.
- Episode 22: After Zhou's men bring Josh to Cheng, Jack, Nadia and Morris retake CTU with Doyle's help as his team returns. Jack and Doyle then pursue and kill all of Cheng's men before Jack corners Cheng. Seeing that Josh is in danger of falling off the roof, Jack chooses to save him instead of pursuing Cheng, who once again escapes. Jack is stunned to hear from Josh that his father Phillip is connected to his kidnapping. Cheng informs Phillip that he has lost Josh and demands that Phillip give back the repaired circuit board, but Phillip refuses. Back at CTU, Ben Kram from division arrives to investigate the security breach which he blames on Nadia's inexperience, saying that Buchanan shouldn't have left her in charge. Morris overhears the conversation and tells Nadia not to blame herself. Meanwhile, the ruse involving Lisa Miller appears to be successful when Mark Bishop begins to upload the fake email from her PDA, but he becomes suspicious and confronts Lisa. At first she claims nothing is wrong, but, feeling angry at Bishop for using her, she attacks him. Bishop fights back and chokes her into unconsciousness, as Lennox and the Secret Service rush in and successfully force Bishop to transfer the fake intel to the Russians. Thinking that his plan has worked, Daniels informs President Suvarov that the circuit board has been destroyed. But Suvarov, who has monitored Bishop and knows about Daniels' deceit, again threatens to launch an attack in two hours unless the U.S. government retrieves the board. Later, Phillip Bauer offers Daniels a deal: he will deliver the circuit board to the Americans in exchange for Josh and free passage to the country of his choice. Daniels agrees and apparently orders CTU to make the exchange. Doyle takes Josh away in a helicopter while ordering his men to bring Jack to CTU. Jack doesn't know about the deal but realizes Josh is in danger.
- Episode 23-24: Jack finds out about the deal and, knowing Phillip would never give up the circuit board, he calls Karen Hayes and asks for her help. Since she is unable to convince the Vice President to call off the exchange, she goes rogue and asks her husband, Bill Buchanan, to help Jack. Bill agrees and helps Jack escape. As Karen is detained, Bill and Jack drive to where Doyle is waiting to make the exchange of Josh for the circuit board, but they are too late - a decoy circuit board has exploded, seriously injuring Doyle and Josh being taken away by Phillip's men on a boat. Using the information Jack provides about his father's business holdings, Chloe and Morris are able to deduce where Phillip is - an offshore oil rig. Daniels decides to launch an air strike against the oil rig to destroy the circuit board believed to be in Phillip's possession, and everyone on the oil rig, hoping that the Russians would be satisfied and prevent a war. Determined to save Josh from both the air strike and Phillip, Jack and Bill proceed to the oil rig via helicopter with only minutes remaining before the strike. They arrive in time to kill Phillip's men and capture Cheng alive. Phillip tells Josh they are going to rendezvous with a Chinese submarine, to go to China. Josh hits Phillip over the head and manages to grab his gun and shoots him, but does not kill him. Jack arrives and stops Josh from killing his grandfather, not wanting him to live with that for the rest of his life. He sends Josh to the helicopter and leaves Phillip to die. Jack barely makes it back to the helicopter as the missiles hit. During the flight, Jack jumps into the water, Josh wants to go back to get him, but Bill says Jack isn't ready to return to CTU yet. Bill takes Josh back to CTU where he and his mother are reunited. Bill and Karen are freed from custody and resign. Jack confronts Audrey's father, former Secretary of Defense Heller, at his home, and verbally lashes out at Heller and the men like him for abandoning Jack despite his sacrifices for his country. Heller agrees that it isn't right but that it is Jack's personality to devote himself to violence and that Jack will not be able to take care of Audrey in the way she needs. Jack realizes he is right and tells a sleeping Audrey that even though he loves her, he must let her go for her own sake. He walks outside to a cliff and mournfully stares off into the ocean as the season ends with a fade to black followed by a silent clock.
[edit] Prequel of Season 6
A eleven-minute prequel of the sixth season of 24 is available on the Season 5 DVD. The clip begins with a recap of Jack's capture at the end of season 5 before cutting to him now being held captive by the Chinese, seven months later at an unidentified location. He is being tortured by several guards who inform Cheng Zhi that they are still unable to extract information from him regarding a Chinese government agent who they believe is working for the United States. Frustrated at his unwillingness to speak, the guards throw him back into his cell.
Shortly thereafter, two American covert-ops soldiers break into the complex, killing a guard, in order to free Bauer from his cell. They lead him through an outdoor complex, to a concealed vehicle nearby. After a brief chase, they come to a dark field where the men tell Jack that they will have a transport ready to pick him up shortly. The two soldiers then summon a man by the name of Hong Wai, who had been concealed in the shadows of the field, to greet Jack. Hong Wai is immediately recognizable as one of the men that Jack had been questioned about earlier, regarding the mole in their government.
As Jack flinches in recognition of Hong, several flood lights come on, and Chinese military vehicles swarm on the scene. Cheng Zhi walks into the field and thanks Bauer for his help in identifying Hong, whom he had apparently suspected all along. Cheng then executes Hong with a single shot to the head, and thanks the covert-ops agents for their role in the set-up, promising them that money will be transferred to their Swiss bank accounts. The guards are then ordered to return Jack to his cell where he will continue to be held prisoner.
