Episode 11: 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm

As Senator Mayer heads to the White House, another high-impact terror threat develops stateside, plotted by General Juma; and Jack and Agent Walker, working separately, try to prevent the attack.

Disguised as an orderly, Udo (a soldier of Juma's) sneaks into the hospital where Dubaku is recuperating, and poisons him with a lethal injection that induces a heart attack. Meanwhile, President Taylor watches Juma on television giving a defiant speech about the American invasion of Sangala. The recording was probably made before the invasion, so where is Juma now? We get our answer right away: he's in a warehouse near the Capitol building. Young Laurent, Dubaku's son, is among his men. Udo calls to report on Dubaku's death; Juma tells him that Laurent must never know of his father's cowardice.

At the FBI, Chloe gets a call from Jack, who asks her to delete Ryan Burnett's name from the list of corrupt government officials. She hesitates, but does so just before Janis enters asking if she can help with processing the list… and lingering at Chloe's station just a little too long for comfort.

Tony and Jack arrive at the White House; Tony, as a still-wanted felon, must wait outside. Burnett calls Juma asking if the attack can be delayed; he's stuck at the White House. Their call is interrupted as he's welcomed by Ethan Kanin. Kanin asks Senator Mayer to quietly drop his prosecution of Jack Bauer in exchange for the President's support of his war-crimes bill; if he doesn't play along, the President may simply pardon Bauer. Mayer is outraged. Jack arrives at Bill Buchanan's office, and pulls a gun on him, demanding to know Burnett's whereabouts. Bill won't divulge the information without knowing what's going on, but Jack doesn't want to implicate Bill in this. Bill tells Jack that he's throwing away a chance to walk away with a clean slate, but Jack says there's no other way. He knocks Bill out with a sleeper hold.

Agent Walker calls Moss, and tells him that she believes Dubaku was murdered. She bristles angrily when Moss suggests that the theory is actually Bauer's; she's calling the shots, not him. A hospital security guard brings Walker a security photo of the mysterious orderly's license plate. Meanwhile, Janis has discovered that a name has been deleted. Chloe insists on "investigating" this herself, further inflaming Janis' suspicions. Chloe calls Jack, and warns him that time is running out. In the West Wing, Senator Mayer tells Burnett to prepare a press release that will make it politically toxic for the President to pardon Bauer; they can use the fact that her husband was shot to make it look like the President is acting emotionally and not rationally. The Senator is summoned to the President's side. Burnett calls Juma, and tells him he's leaving now; he's to rendezvous with Juma at 21:30 hours. Before he can leave, Jack bursts into the room and tasers Burnett.

Janis goes to Moss; she's found the deleted name, and even unscrambled Chloe's cell-phone conversations with Jack. Chloe is arrested. As the President talks to Senator Mayer about Jack, Moss calls the President, and tells her he believes that Jack is illegally interrogating Burnett as they speak. Indeed, Jack is tasering Burnett again and again. Just as he's about to get a confession, a security team bursts in accompanied by the President and the Senator. Jack tells the Senator that whatever happens now is on his conscience, but the Senator is even more outraged to find that Jack's source is Tony Almeida, a wanted fugitive. Ethan Kanin advises the President to trust Bauer, but she ultimately has him arrested. She offers Burnett immunity from prosecution for treason if he talks, but Burnett stays mum.

Agent Walker tracks Udo's car to the warehouse were Juma and his soldiers are stationed. She reports to Moss, who tells Janis to scramble a chopper, and then calls the metro police. Walker eavesdrops as Juma continues to hide Dubaku's death from Laurent. Juma orders the soldiers to move out; Moss and his men are still ten minutes away. The soldiers board a cabin boat. As the boat sails away from the dock, Walker leaps off the pier, and just barely manages to scramble aboard the boat; however, she accidentally drops her cell phone into the Potomac.

Buchanan revives, and calls Tony; they bring each other up to speed. Immunity for Burnett was the only plan; Tony's original intel source is now dead. Agent Walker spies on Juma showing tactical maps to his soldiers, but she can't see the maps. The boat drops anchor, and the soldiers suit up in scuba equipment, diving into the water. Laurent stays behind to stand guard. Walker sneaks into the cabin, and finds that the target is the White House. Laurent nearly catches her, but she dives off the boat, and desperately begins to swim for shore as Laurent fires at her. Juma and his men swim into an underwater catacomb, and drill into the rocks above. They pull themselves up into a dry tunnel. As Laurent pursues Walker through the water, Juma and his men are ready to carry out their attack on the White House.

Episode 12: 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Juma's plan leads to a standoff at the White House; the President's daughter is in jeopardy; and another conspirator is revealed.

Olivia Taylor still wants to go see her father in the hospital; Aaron Pierce persuades her to stay put at the White House as her mother, the President, has ordered for her own safety. The President plans to tell the public the truth: another attack is imminent. Moss calls and tells her that Juma's involved; and he's lost contact with Agent Walker… who has just climbed out of the Potomac. She finds a park ranger, and tells him to call and report an imminent terrorist attack at the White House; but the ranger is cut down by bullets from Laurent's gun. Walker flees with Laurent in pursuit. In a holding cell Jack pleads with Bill Buchanan to torture Burnett until he talks. Bill is sorry, but he just can't do that.

With the help of a man on the inside disguised as a technician, Juma and his men break into the White House. They shoot down a detail of Secret Service. They have nine minutes until the next Secret Service roll call; they must find the President before then. Laurent catches up with Agent Walker. She tells him that his father is dead at Juma's hand. Laurent doesn't believe her. Just as he's about to strangle her to death, he's shot dead; Moss and his men have finally arrived. Walker tells him she knows Juma's target. Back at the White House, Jack is in handcuffs; Bill is leading him away. Moss calls, and tells Bill the White House is the target. Bill immediately un-cuffs Jack, and tells him to do exactly as he says. As Juma and his men kill the President's press secretary, Secret Service agents inform the President that the White House is under attack, and begin to spirit her away to lockdown. They meet up with Jack and Bill on the way. Bill takes the President's tracker in order to draw Juma away from her, while Jack and the other agents continue to head for lockdown. Juma quickly finds and captures Bill, and realizes he's been tricked. Jack and the President make it to the lockdown room just as Juma is catching up with them. The President orders Jack not to close the door until her daughter can join them, but it's too late. The security doors close. Aaron Pierce will have to find another way out of the building for himself and Olivia. Suddenly the phone cuts out; Juma is blocking all communication in and out of lockdown. The Secret Service, led by Agent Hovis, is bearing down on Juma's men. Juma bluffs that he's captured the President, and will kill her if they don't back off. Hovis has no choice but to call off his men. Juma then has his men fan out to take hostages, and seal off the exits. Aaron Pierce and Olivia are hiding in an air vent. Aaron realizes that Juma must be bluffing; they have to find a way to get word to Hovis as soon as possible so his men can retake the building. Juma's number-two and tech specialist, Ngozi, says that if the specifications they got from Hodges are correct, it will take him about ten to fifteen minutes to get through the doors of the lockdown room.

Moss and Agent Hovis catch each other up on the situation. Hovis' men can move in at any time, but the order must now come from the Vice President. The hostages, including Bill and Senator Mayer, are rounded up. Jack and the President scan the faces on a closed-circuit monitor for Olivia; she's not there. Jack realizes that Juma must have had inside help… and that Juma's on a suicide mission. Ngozi tries to break the lockdown door's access code; Jack shorts out the lock. Explosives will take too long; Juma must find another way in... so he calls Jonas Hodges of Starkwood, who gave him the codes and other information he needed to infiltrate the White House. Hodges isn't going to help, but Juma says Hodges won't get his shipment if he doesn't find Juma another way in. Hodges finds that Olivia Taylor is on the White House manifest: find her, and they can get to the President.

Moss and Agent Walker urge Vice President Hayworth to allow Hovis to retake the building, but he won't act until he is absolutely certain that the President is safe. Inside, as Juma's men search the hostages for Olivia, she and Aaron find that there's no way out. Aaron says he can at least get a signal out from the windows upstairs, in the Residence area. He wants to leave Olivia in a secure place, but she insists on coming with him. While en route, however, Aaron is shot. He sends Olivia to a window to flash Morse code with a flashlight, but both she and Aaron are captured.

Ngozi has found a fiber-optic camera in the chandelier. He brings Olivia to the camera, and tells the President that if she doesn't open the door, he will kill Olivia slowly, carving her up piece by piece. The President asks Jack to open the door. Jack protests. She asks him if he could stand by if his own daughter was being butchered. He says he couldn’t… but he's not the President of the United States. She orders him to open the door. Just as Juma is about to cut out Olivia's eyes, the door opens. Jack is led over to sit with the other hostages. The President tells Juma to let the hostages go: he has her; he doesn't need them now. Juma slaps her hard across the face, and tells her that she doesn't give orders; he does. He tells Udo to get the camera ready for the President's statement: the last statement she will ever make.
