As the eighth hour of the fifth day unfolds, Jack Bauer and his team race against the clock to stop the imminent terrorist threat to America. President Logan is briefly taken into custody by Bauer, but he is released when CTU's intelligence division fails to find any evidence of his involvement with the terrorists. Meanwhile, investigations continue into the deaths of four Russian separatists who had infiltrated CTU's Los Angeles office.
Chloe O'Brian uncovers a possible connection between the separatists and one of Jack's former CIA colleagues, James Nathanson. Jack and Chloe launch a covert mission to find and capture Nathanson, hoping he can provide information that will lead to the location of the Russian terrorist leader, Vladimir Bierko.
As the team tracks down Nathanson, President Logan becomes increasingly anxious about his own safety and orders the mobilization of the military to protect his administration. However, when CTU discovers that one of Logan's advisors is secretly working with Bierko, the President's authority now comes into question.
The episode is marked by intense action scenes, as Jack and his team engage in a high-speed chase through the streets of Los Angeles while attempting to capture Nathanson. Meanwhile, President Logan's fears are realized when a group of terrorists manage to infiltrate the Presidential compound, putting Logan's safety in immediate jeopardy.
The tension is further heightened by Jack's personal struggles, as he grapples with his ongoing addiction to painkillers and the recent discovery that his brother, who he believed died several years ago, is actually alive and working with the terrorists.
As the clock ticks down on Day 5, Bauer and his team must navigate a web of deceit and danger in order to prevent the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. With loyal friends turning into enemies and dangerous enemies with unknown motives, Day 5 seems to be getting more and more dangerous.
Overall, this episode of "24" is an adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster ride full of twists, turns, and unexpected developments. Fans of the series will not be disappointed by the high stakes drama and intense action that are hallmarks of the show.
