Jack agrees against his better judgment to be debriefed at CTU. Meanwhile, Dana discovers that Meredith Reed's computer was used to hack into the UN database and download incriminating files.

Hastings dismisses her claims, so Chloe turns to Jack, who agrees to get involved after Kim goes to CTU and gives him her blessing. He then tracks Davros to the home of NYPD policeman Jim Koernig (Joe Nieves), who knows Davros as "Mike Farmer", a fellow cop. Davros, in the meantime, gets in contact with the actual mole: Hassan's brother Farhad. Davros arrives at Koernig's home well before Jack and asks if he can trade for Jim's shift on U.N.

Victor Aruz (Benito Martinez) returns home to find that he is being targeted for assassination by a Russian operative named Davros (Doug Hutchison). He seeks help from Jack Bauer, interrupting Jack's decision to fly back to L.A. to live out a quiet life with Kim, her husband Stephen (Paul Wesley) and daughter Teri (Claire Geare). Aruz claims that President Hassan (Anil Kapoor) of the Islamic Republic of Kamistan, who is currently at the UN Building working on an arms treaty with President Taylor, is going to be assassinated soon; he and his confederates helped smuggle Davros into the country and are now being killed for that reason. Jack, despite support from CTU director Brian Hastings and Field Ops director Cole Ortiz (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), is unable to transport Aruz to custody before Davros kills him. Aruz tells Jack that the assassin has a mole close to Hassan, but can reveal nothing more before he dies. This mole is implied to be reporter Meredith Reed (Jennifer Westfeldt), who is having an affair with Hassan and causing tension between him and his brother and chief of staff, Farhad (Akbar Kurtha).

She takes them to a bank where she has a joint account with Cole, and where she has a safe-deposit box containing her evidence. Charles Logan proposes to President Taylor that his aide Jason Pillar be sent to CTU to take over as head of manhunt for Bauer. Taylor agrees to this, while Logan meets with Novakovich and makes it clear that it is in Russian interests to have Jack stopped and requests that Novakovich deploy his nation's covert operatives to deal with Jack. Novakovich assigns Pavel to the hit, and Jason begins to feed Pavel information from inside CTU. Dana's safebox, in addition to a memory card, contains a suppressed pistol and a flashbang trap which incapacitates Cole; Dana calls NYPD and sets them on Jack before escaping on foot. Despite police interference, Jack resumes his pursuit of Dana. After a brief gun fight and chase, Jack corners Dana, collects the incriminating data, and, despite her pleas to cut a deal, executes her.

While NYPD takes Cole into custody and turns him over to CTU, Jack peruses Dana's memory stick, which shows her meeting with Pavel to organize Hassan's assassination and the dirty-bomb plot but does not indicate who either of them is reporting to. After securing more help from Jim Ricker, he contacts Meredith Reed and offers to give the evidence to her. CTU intercepts the phone call and sets up an ambush using Pavel's team. Chloe takes note of Pillar's secretive actions, and she begins to suspect that he is involved with the conspirators. With Arlo's semi-willing assistance, she begins a private manhunt for Jack. Logan convinces President Taylor to publicly praise his involvement in the signing of the peace treaty. This backfires spectacularly when Jack uses Reed to lure the Russian assassins out into the open, capturing Pavel and killing the rest with the help of Ricker. Pillar urges Logan to back out and deny all involvement, but Logan decides to stay in the spotlight. Jack gives Dana's evidence to Reed and then attempts to get the answers out of Pavel by brutally torturing him; but, for once in Jack's life, his preferred interrogation methods do not have any impact. Finally it occurs to Jack that Pavel's cell phone might give him everything he needs. However, Pavel manages to drop his phone, dislodge its SIM card and swallow it during his captivity. Jack cuts him open to retrieve it, killing him in the process. Jack calls the most recent contact on the phone and is astonished to reach Charles Logan's voicemail.

Meredith Reed, with Jack's evidence safely in hand, phones her editor Gary Klausner (Thomas Ryan) to arrange for publication of the evidence on the memory card. As per Logan's advice, President Taylor issues an executive order in an attempt to quash this story. Ricker locates Logan via his phone number and Secret Service's travel manifests - Logan is on his way to the airfield to meet the Russian President Yuri Suvarov (Nick Jameson). With this information Jack intercepts Logan's motorcade and kidnaps him, forcing him to reveal that Pavel was reporting to Novakovich. As the CTU tactical teams close in, Jack knocks Logan unconscious and escapes. Jack then storms Novakovich's office, killing him and most of his men. Chloe and Arlo manage to track down Jim Ricker; she secures Cole's release and sends him to Ricker's address in the hope of tracking down Jack. After Klausner tells Meredith that their office is being investigated by the FBI, she manages to contact Kayla Hassan and arrange a meeting with Dalia, but is shortly thereafter taken into custody by the FBI. Logan, after being discovered unconscious by the CTU tactical teams and Jason Pillar, phones Suvarov, who has just landed, and assures him despite his lack of information that the trail of evidence stopped at Novakovich, and that Suvarov, who actually gave the orders, will not be implicated. Jack, however, planted a bug on Logan during their earlier altercation and overhears this conversation. Despite a serious wound taken in the fight against Novakovich's men, he sets off with revenge in mind.

24 - S08E23 - 2:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M.

Cole Ortiz, on the orders of CTU Director Chloe O'Brian, locates Jim Ricker and persuades him to comply in the ongoing search for Jack Bauer. Logan informs President Taylor that Suvarov was complicit in Hassan's assassination, shaking Taylor's resolve further. Jack kidnaps Pillar and uses him to sneak inside the UN; after getting some field sutures from him, he attempts to execute Pillar, but has a change of heart and simply leaves him unconscious and locked in the trunk of his car. Allison Taylor goes to Dalia Hassan and confesses the entire story; Dalia refuses to sign the peace agreement in light of the possible Russian involvement in her husband's death, but a thunderous Taylor blackmails her by threatening to use Samir's failed bomb attack as a pretense for war. Jack sets up a sniper position in a building across from the UN in anticipation of Suvarov's arrival and then records a video message to Kim, telling his side of the story. Here Chloe finds him and begs him to stand down, but he incapacitates her with a sleeper hold. Jack then places the cross-hairs on Charles Logan and forces him to lure Suvarov within range of Jack's shot.

24 - S08E24 - 3:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M.

Chloe regains consciousness and persuades Jack not to shoot Suvarov as it would start a war, instead offering to help him publicize his evidence. Jack capitulates and formulates a plan in which she must shoot him as if he were attacking her. Pillar suspects her of complicity with Jack but cannot find the card on her. Jack, in order to delay Pillar a few seconds longer pretends to whisper something about the card, and as Pillar bends down to try to ascertain what Jack is muttering, Jack bites his ear off. Despite the creative diversion Cole and Chloe are arrested before they can upload the data on the card, which Logan later presents to President Taylor. He informs her that Jack will need to be done away with to ensure state security, and she allows him to set up a hit on Jack's ambulance convoy. Taylor then watches Jack's video to Kim, which engenders a change of heart in her; at the signing ceremony, she confesses her role in the cover-up. She also attempts to have Logan's ambush of Jack's medical convoy called off, but is unsuccessful. When Logan finds out that his involvement has been revealed, he shoots both Pillar and himself in the head. At CTU, Chloe takes charge again and locates Jack, who has been kidnapped by Logan's black ops team. Jack is just about to be executed when Taylor orders his assassins to stand down and get out. On the phone, she apologizes to Jack and explains to him that she will soon announce her resignation and will accept her punishment, whatever it may be. She advises him to flee the country as the Russians and Americans will both be after him. Jack, seen on the drone's camera monitor at CTU, thanks Chloe for having had his back all these years and makes her promise to protect Kim and her family. She does so and orders Arlo to cut the drone's video feed as Jack makes his escape. The final clock of the show counts down, instead of up, from four seconds to a series-concluding 00:00:00.
