This article is about Hour 6 on Day 5 of the Fox Network TV series 24.
Ivan Erwich and his terrorist crew arrive on a pier with the nerve gas canisters. Erwich's U.S. contact, Schaeffer, secretly adjusts the arming codes on the canisters.
CTU is convinced that Walt Cummings' is involved with the terrorists but lack the hard evidence to confront him. Lynn McGill is convinced to allow Jack, who is no longer officially affiliated with CTU, approach Mike Novick, in Logan's administration, with the information they do have.
Jack calls Novick on his BlackBerry and asks to meet with him alone. Nathanson intercepts Jack's call and forwards a recording of it to Walt Cummings. Nathanson chastises Cummings for his failure, but tells him that one course of action is still available to him.
Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce discovers Martha Logan hiding in the stables. She tells him briefly of her contact with David Palmer, but Aaron reluctantly allows her to be taken into custody for her transfer to an asylum.
Cummings boldly confesses to President Logan his involvement with the nerve gas plot. He insists that the arming codes for the nerve gas canisters have been changed, and the canisters will be detonated remotely at the terrorists' camp. This will 'confirm' to the world the existence of terrorist WMDs in Central Asia, justifying a U.S. military presence in the region and preserving U.S. future access to Central Asian oil fields. The assassination of David Palmer was a deliberate attempt to cover up this plot. Logan is outraged, but swayed by Cummings' domineering personality as he insists that Logan's administration will not survive full disclosure.
Jack meets with Novick in a nearby location, but Secret Service agents sent by Cummings arrive and place them both under arrest. CTU is officially taken off point on the nerve gas investigation, but Buchanan convinces McGill to ignore the order temporarily.
Jack convinces Agent Pierce of the threat to President Logan's office, and the two privately confront the President and Cummings. After Jack beats and effectively threatens Walt, he gives up the location of the gas canisters on a container ship.
The President apologizes to Martha Logan for not believing her story, but she remains angry that he did not even choose to see her before having her unjustly hauled off to the asylum.
CTU locates the cargo container that supposedly holds the canisters, but inside they find only empty holding racks and Schaeffer's tortured body. Cummings gets a call from Erwich on his cell phone. Erwich has discovered the plot to doublecross his people, and promises revenge.
