8x01 CTU NY Bullpen The new bullpen at CTU NY (Day 8: 4:00pm-5:00pm) By the start of Day 8, CTU New York had been reopened in a new, highly advanced facility under the East River, aided by unmanned drone surveillance of the entire New York metropolitan area. Acting on information from Victor Aruz, the unit took point investigating an assassination plot against President Omar Hassan at the United Nations, beginning with the interrogation of journalist Meredith Reed. Following the failed assassination attempt, CTU NY initiated an undercover operation using former FBI agent Renee Walker to locate Uranium-235 rods that Red Square planned to sell to Farhad Hassan. Through Vladimir Laitanan they found Sergei Bazhaev, who was the head of Red Square and was planning to sell the rods to Farhad. CTU got to Sergei, but his son Josef had already taken the rods as an act of defiance against his father. He was killed by Farhad who took possession of the rods, but Farhad himself was betrayed by his own people. Samir Mehran had Farhad executed, but Jack Bauer managed to lure one of Samirs operatives to a hospital where he admitted that President Hassans former head of security, Tarin Faroush, was involved in the threat. Faroush had Hassans daughter hostage and offered to exchange her for some documents that Hassan had possession of that showed the weak points in American security, which would therefore allow Samir to attack the U.S. CTU managed to acquire Kayla before the deadline for Hassan to hand over the documents took place, but it transpired that Kaylas rescue was all part of Samirs plan to detonate an electromagnetic pulse bomb at CTU to stop them from being able to track their next move. He was successful, but Chloes computer skills enabled the search to commence before too much debilitation. Dana Walsh, a mole working for Samir inside CTU, disabled the satellite capabilities of the agency for thirty seconds, allowing them out of CTUs eyesight. They managed to get the dirty bomb they had prepared and set it up in a crowded area of New York. Samir Mehran spoke with the President and offered to give up the bomb in exchange for Omar Hassan. The President did not comply so Samir threatened to detonate the bomb. Before this could happen a covert team, under the orders of David Brucker, took Hassan and made the exchange. With the nuclear fuel rods in CTU custody, a team was sent to Samirs location to retrieve Hassan (which was divulged by Dana Walsh whose position as a mole had been revealed). However, when the team arrived they found Hassan dead, which was recorded and broadcast over the internet. Because of the numerous mistakes that occurred throughout the day, Brian Hastings was dismissed as Special Agent in Charge of CTU. Chloe OBrian was given the responsibility before a permanent director could be found. President Taylor instructed Chloe that their main priority now should be maintaining security at the UN so the treaty could continue, but when Jack Bauer came forward with evidence that Russia was involved in Hassans assassination, Taylor changed tack and insisted that bringing Jack in was of the utmost importance. Chloe - feeling the necessity to follow orders from the President - refused to help Jack who, along with the help of Cole Ortiz, went rogue and found Dana Walsh who claimed to have evidence of Russias involvement. She knocked Cole unconscious but Jack managed to get to her after a long chase through the streets of New York. He found her and she handed the evidence over, after which Jack shot her dead. 8x24EmptyCTU Chloe and Cole find out that Jacks ambulance was attacked (Day 8: 3:00pm-4:00pm) Jason Pillar, Charles Logans executive assistant, was brought in to take over the hunt for Jack Bauer after President Taylor called for a search for him. After they discovered he was meeting with Meredith Reed to pass the evidence of the Russians involvement in Hassans death on to her, Pillar sent to a team to intercept. However, Jack managed to overpower the team with the help of Jim Ricker. Meanwhile, Chloe OBrian and Arlo Glass began to believe Jack about Russias involvement, and set off to assist him and work against Pillar. They managed to find out about Ricker, and sent Cole Ortiz to go and talk with him to find out where Jack was. As Pillar continued to pursue Jack, the latter learnt of Logans involvement and took him hostage. Logan admitted the involvement of Russian delegate Mikhail Novakovich, and so Jack murdered the Russian. Through a microphone left on Logan, Jack learnt of Yuri Suvarovs involvement in the conspiracy, and set off to expose him. Meanwhile, Reed was taken into custody by the FBI after Taylor called for her arrest, despite Tim Woods pleas that she would be seen as censoring the media. Jack set up opposite the UN building in preparation to shoot Suvarov. A CTU Mobile Command Unit was set up outside the building where the agency could further protect the peace treaty. Chloe OBrian was there, as was Cole. Chloe managed to get in contact with Jack and talked him out of assassinating Suvarov, but he told her that he would not be able to get out alive. He forced her to shoot him and she did so, but without killing him. Chloe smuggled a memory chip out that had evidence of Suvarovs complicity in Hassans death, but she was stopped by agent Nate Burke working under Jason Pillars authority. Chloe and Cole were taken into custody at CTU, and Pillar and Charles Logan organized a hit to go down on Jacks ambulance and have him killed. At the last moment, however, President Taylor decided against covering for the Russians and exposed them and herself as part of a cover up. She ordered everyone to leave CTU except Chloe, Cole and Arlo, who managed to track down Jacks kidnappers. They successfully found them and Taylor gave them a Presidential order to stop the murder of Jack and for them to leave him. After Jack said goodbye to Chloe and Taylor, he was forced to flee so as to not be killed by Russian agents. Chloe told Arlo to turn off the aerial drone feed and she saw Jack for what would prove to be the last time for four years.
