Jack is being tortured with electric shock by several guards who inform Cheng Zhi that they are still unable to extract information from him regarding a Chinese government agent who they believe is working for the United States. Frustrated at his unwillingness to speak, the guards throw him back into his cell.
Shortly thereafter, two American covert operation soldiers break into the complex, killing a guard, in order to free Bauer from his cell.
They lead him through an outdoor complex, to a concealed Toyota RAV-4 nearby. After a brief car chase between the American agents and Chinese Military, they manage to evade the Chinese and come to a dark field where the men tell Jack that they will have a transport ready to pick him up shortly. The two soldiers then summon a man by the name of Hong Wai, who had been concealed in the shadows of the field, to greet Jack. Hong Wai is immediately recognizable as one of the men that Jack had been questioned about earlier, regarding the mole in their government.
As Jack flinches and nods in recognition of Hong, several flood lights come on, and Chinese military vehicles swarm on the scene as well as hidden guards appear from the bushes. Cheng Zhi walks into the field and thanks Bauer for his help in identifying Hong, who he had apparently suspected all along.
Zhi then executes Hong with a single shot to the head, and thanks the covert-ops agents for their role in the set-up, promising them that money will be transferred to their Swiss bank accounts. The guards are then ordered to return a distraught Jack to his cell where he will continue to be held prisoner.
The Season 6 Prequel takes place in China approximately 7 months after Day 5 and 13 months before Day 6.
Cheng Zhi: Thank you Mr. Bauer, for confirming our suspicions about Hong Wai. You've told us all we've needed to know.
