Season One Episode Guide
Episode Six
5:00am - 6:00am
5:00 A.M. The doctors attempt to revive Janet as her blood pressure crashes in surgery. Jack tells Teri not to let anyone near Janet because she may be in real danger. He pulls up to the Counter Terrorist Unit, and hands over the body in the car to Nina. Jack gets into a waiting helicopter, asking Nina not to let on that he requisitioned it for personal use. Tony immediately warns Nina about covering up for Jack, but she tells him to back off.
5:05 A.M. Gaines has Rick bury Dan at the compound. Kimberly confides in Rick that they should both try to escape since their lives are in danger.
5:06 A.M. Palmer summons Carl to the hotel suite. He asks whether Carl not only knew about Keith’s involvement in Lyle Gibson’s death, but also covered it up. Carl comes clean about helping Keith, who only struck back at Gibson in self defence. He had hidden the truth to save the election. Palmer claims he would have gone to the police. Carl notes that Sherry was the one who sent Keith to him in the first place.
5:14 A.M. Kimberly helps Rick dig the grave. He bares his guilt to her, admitting that they were only supposed to hang out with her and Janet. Nobody was to get hurt.
5:16 A.M. Jack arrives at the hospital, warning the security there to protect Janet. He greets Teri, and begins to question Alan. Knowing that Alan's been a comfort, Teri's annoyed by Jack’s interrogation.
5:19 A.M. Palmer confronts his wife Sherry about sending Keith to Carl. The entire family had been keeping the secret from him to protect the election. Sherry wants to do anything to keep the story from coming out because Keith may be sent to jail.
5:27 A.M. As they dig, Kimberly and Rick talk about their mothers. Feeling she's bonded with him, Kimberly urges Rick to help her escape. Gaines takes Kimberly to the house. Nina still has no name attached to the unidentified body. Jack has her put Jamey on the case so that it’s solved sooner.
5:29 A.M. Teri apologises to Alan for her husband’s behavior. Jack pulls her away, and reveals that there's a threat on Palmer’s life. Janet was endangered because she was with Kimberly, who may have been kidnapped because of Jack’s work. Teri's upset, but Jack assures her that Kimberly most likely will not be hurt.
5:37 A.M. Nina pulls Jamey away from decoding the key card to help forensics on the unidentified body. Jamey's clearly disappointed that Nina brought in Milo, an outside contractor, to work on the key card. With a threat against his campaign and family, Palmer wakes up his chief of staff, Mike Novick. Alan rushes up to the ICU to speak to Janet, who's awake.
Meanwhile, Jack gets a call from Nina with news that the body has a custom-fabricated surgical pin in its ankle that can be traced to an orthopedic surgeon. Nina's hopeful that she’ll soon have a name for the John Doe.
5:40 A.M. After Palmer explains the situation, Novick gives him a realistic analysis of its impact on the election. He advises Palmer to release the story before the network, and suggests that it be at the breakfast planned for that morning. Unfortunately for Palmer, he'll need his whole family to support him in the announcement.
5:42 A.M. The doctor explains to Alan that she's optimistic Janet will make a full recovery. Alan agrees to let Jack question Janet, but only after he's talked to his daughter first. Jack and Teri are in the hospital hallway when his phone rings. He assumes it's Nina. But it's Gaines, watching from the hospital security cameras. Gaines tells Jack to not alarm Teri and walk away. Gaines threatens to kill Kimberly if he does not obey. Jack listens and leaves the corridor.
5:46 A.M. Alan's taken into ICU alone to see his daughter. Janet looks at him and asks who he is. "Where's my father?" she whispers through shallow breaths in her oxygen mask. Alan answers by pressing his hand down on her mask and suffocating her. Janet dies.
5:51 A.M. Still talking to Gaines on the phone, Jack's led to a waiting car in the hospital parking garage. He asks whether his daughter is still alive. Gaines briefly puts Kimberly on the phone for proof. Then Gaines has Jack place a small object in his ear. With this device working as a transmitter, Gaines orders Jack to throw his mobile phone out of the window, and drive toward the CTU office.
Alan tells Teri that the girls were partying with some boys who got too aggressive. Janet gave him an address in Bel Air where Kimberly may have gone. Alan lures Teri to his car so that they can track Kimberly down. Teri tries calling Jack, but her husband doesn’t pick up his phone. As she watches Rick bury Dan, Kimberly assures him that her father will save them.
5:57 A.M. Milo tells Jamey that he was able to quickly break into the key card. She's somewhat put off. Nina tells her that, based on the surgical pin, they've identified the body. In the car, Teri notices a scratch on Alan’s wrist. Although he received it while killing Janet, he lies about its origin. Nina calls Teri when she can't reach Jack. They're both confused, because they each thought the other was with Jack.
Nina asks Teri to pass a message to Jack. They've found the name of the murder victim he brought to CTU. He's called Alan York.
Teri's speechless, knowing that the man next to her is an impostor.
