Detailed complete episode spoiler, from the 24
Insider:
"In
the CTU clinic, Jack and Curtis leave so the Doctor
can work on Lee Jong. Audrey is distraught and
Jack tries to reach out to her but she tells him she just wants
to be left alone. Meanwhile, Marwan speaks with
his operatives in Iowa and he instructs them to speed up
the launch process. Marwan knows that CTU’s satellites
or the elevated number of reserve search teams will eventually track
their location and he sends them the new coordinates for the missile
and the operatives start to make the proper changes and the missile
will be ready to launch within the hour. At the
Chinese Consulate, Cheng Zhi, the head of Security
for the Consulate arrives and he has his techs analyze the
surveillance footage. The tech notices that one of the
intruder’s ski-masks was knocked off for a brief second. The
analyst enhances the image and we see a clear photo of CTU
agent Howard Bern, one of the agents from the raid. At
the White-House, Palmer receives a call from the
Chinese Consulate. Cheng knows Palmer is somehow involved with the
raid and he promises a thorough investigation. Palmer stays cool
and he is confident that Jack will be able to cover up the United
States involvement. Cheng then calls CTU and speaks
with Michelle Dessler and he says he wants to come to CTU so he
can question some of the employees. Michelle tries
to hold him off as best as she can but Cheng says he will go above
her. Cheng hangs up and Michelle and Tony talk about the situation.
Cheng calls the White-House and he speaks with Vice-President Logan.
Cheng is very persistent about questioning CTU personnel and
Logan caves in and Cheng and his men leave the consulate and head
to CTU. At CTU, everybody is preparing to cover their tracks
and Jack meets with his team from the raid and he makes it clear
that all of them need to have air-tight alibi’s. What Jack
did at the Consulate can be looked at as an act of war
and Jack knows that the United States Government can’t be
connected to the raid because the Chinese may take offensive action.
Bill Buchanan has the CTU hourly reports altered because he knows
Cheng will ask for them. Meanwhile, Marwan arrives at a
warehouse and he sets up his operations center for the
nuclear strike.
At the White-House, Palmer goes over a
plan with Mike Novick that will clear the United States
from any possible involvement in the raid. The plan involves a Chinese
extremist group that has performed previous crimes against the Consulate.
Vice President Logan speaks with Palmer and he
questions Palmer’s decision to authorize the raid and he concerned
about a possible war with the Chinese. Meanwhile, Cheng
arrives at CTU. He is moved into the conference room and
he shows everybody the surveillance photo of one
of their own agents. CTU is pretty much shocked by the photo but
Jack steps up and says that the picture has been tampered with and
he tells Cheng that his people should be focusing on the extremist
group and not waste their time looking into CTU. Cheng wants to
question the staff and he wants to see CTU’s hourly logs.
Cheng questions Audrey because the logs show that she and Jack were
together during the time of the raid and Audrey covers for
Jack. Cheng continues to question everyone but his investigation
eventually hit’s a brick wall. Buchanan tells him
to leave CTU because they are busy trying to find new leads
on the nuke. Cheng starts to leave but as he walks through the main
floor he hears someone say Edgar’s name and he moves to question
Edgar. Cheng trips Edgar up and catches him in
a lie. Cheng tries to ask more questions but Chloe arrives
and saves Edgar. Meanwhile, in the clinic, Lee Jong survives
and he wakes up after surgery. Jack asks him for Marwan’s
location and Jong gives Jack the address to a warehouse.
Jack and Curtis assemble a team and they head for Marwan’s
operations center.
At the warehouse, Marwan is putting the final
touches on the nuclear attack. The target is different from the
initial target because Marwan had to hurry up to ensure that the
missile gets fired. The new target will yield less casualties but
that’s acceptable to Marwan. Jack and Curtis arrive
at the warehouse and CTU surrounds it. They enter and Marwan
activates the countdown for the nuclear launch. The missile
will be launched in less than 5 minutes. Marwan tries to escape
the warehouse but Jack and Curtis corner him. Jack shoots
Marwan in the arm and then steps on the wound. Curtis goes
over to Marwan’s computer and he sees the countdown and a
video feed of the missile on the launch-pad in Iowa. He quickly
links the computer to CTU’s systems. Jack tries to get Marwan
to disclose the missiles target and he tries to get him to stop
it but Marwan just laughs because he knows it can‘t
be stopped. CTU tries to stop the warhead from launching but it’s
to late. In a field in Iowa we see the missile launch.
It lifts off from the field and heads for it’s target."
