Day 5 Prequel

It has been one year since Jack Bauer faked his death to escape Chinese persecution, and he now lives his life in Chicago, Illinois, under a fake alias. Chloe finds out that someone hacked into her system and found out that Jack is still alive, so she goes to meet Jack and warn him that he must leave Chicago. Jack also inquires about Kim, and Chloe tells him that she was very heartbroken, but has recovered.

After Chloe dispatches, Jack heads back to his car only to start being chased by a black vehicle. He is able to evade the driver after being chased block after block, and as Jack pulls away, a helmeted motorcyclist stops his ride and watches Jack drive off in the distance.

Day 5 opens with Jack working at an oil refinery in the Mojave desert. He goes by the name of Frank Flynn, and lives in a tiny apartment while dating his neighbor Diane Huxley. Her son Derek is suspicious of Frank and his past. Meanwhile, at Wayne Palmer's apartment, David Palmer is overlooking the city when a shot is fired through the window, striking the former President and killing him.

Tony and Michelle, now running their own business, see this news on television. Michelle goes to assist CTU because of their history with them but is killed when she opens her car door and it explodes. Tony is injured when he goes out to check on her and a secondary blast occurs. At this time, Chloe is heading to CTU after saying goodbye to her co-worker and boyfriend Spenser Wolff. She is tailed by a van and loses it before calling Jack for help. He tells her to meet him at an oil refinery in the north. Jack packs up his stuff and leaves.

Tony is brought into CTU for treatment, and at this time, President Logan gives a press conference about Palmer's death. He is set to meet with the Russian President, and even though his wife has pleaded with him to cancel the visit because she suspects David was killed because he knew something about internal Government problems, Logan shrugs it off as his wife is experiencing another "mental breakdown." At the oil refinery, Jack realizes Derek has followed him and has Chloe get him out of harms way as armed men attack the trio. Jack kills them all except the last as the man tells Jack that Palmer was the primary target, and everyone else was a decoy. Jack kills him after finding out he assassinated David Palmer.

Jack sneaks into Wayne Palmer's apartment disguised as a FBI agent to try and obtain evidence against whoever killed the former President. With Wayne Palmer's help, they discover a name and address in his files. It is a baggage handler that works at the airport. Jack hurries out after CTU discovers Chloe tracing movement in the building and send agents after them. Chloe is captured but Jack and Derek escape and head to the airport.

CTU believed Jack was responsible for the deaths because they saw a video tape with Jack in the building across from David Palmer. Chloe tells him their information is false, but she is brought into CTU in handcuffs. Jack goes into the airport after dropping off Derek with Diane, but he follows him in after seeing armed men get out of a van. Jack finds the baggage claim man who takes a poison pill before he can talk, as suddenly the van explodes and the men take people hostage inside the airport, with Derek being one of them. Meanwhile, Walt Cummings, the President's aid, calls a man named Nathanson and tells him he doctored the conversation between Martha Logan and Palmer so there is no evidence about the attack today.

Meanwhile, President Logan welcomes Russian President Suvarov to his country as he lands. Walt Cummings phones Nathanson warning him about Jack being at the airport.

Lynn McGill is brought in from Division and takes over control of CTU from Bill Buchanan.

They realize this and are able to sneak into the airport and take out the terrorists. Jack sees Beresch hand off a key card to a man before killing himself. Jack is taken into custody on McGill's orders and then the man with the key card goes to an underground location and uses the key card to open a box filled with canisters.

It was actually a terrorist attempting a hit on Jack but he was stopped and killed. Jack gets Spenser to admit that he was taking orders from Walt Cummings.

Jack goes to meet Mike Novick but is taken into custody under orders from Walt Cummings. At this time, Cummings confesses to Logan that he helped the terrorists locate the nerve gas, but his plan was to detonate them before they reached Moscow, and this would give the appearance of weapons of mass destruction and the US would be able to increase its forces in the region. Logan realizes Martha was right and stops her commitment. Meanwhile, Jack gets free with Agent Pierce's help and threatens Cummings into giving up the canisters location. It is at a LA harbor and when CTU agents raid the containers, they are empty. The terrorists found out about Cummings ulterior motive and killed his inside man. Erwich, one of the terrorists, lets the President know that the United States is now their target.

At the retreat, Cummings admits that him and Nathanson were fighting as Patriots for oil interests. Chloe is unable to track Nathanson but pick up the location of Rossler by tracking Erwich's phone.

Jack and Curtis head to the location and capture Rossler. Just then, Rossler's girlfriend shoots him dead in fright of being taken captive just as his phone goes off, with Erwich on the other line ready to give a location for them to meet.
