Summary

– Jack Bauer tracks down Navi Araz, who has taken a 17-year-old boy hostage in a hospital.

– Dina Araz reveals her husband’s ruthless plan, suggesting that time is running out before a nuclear disaster.

Jack Bauer and the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) face a critical situation at a hospital where Navi Araz has taken a teenage boy hostage. Araz, who has already killed his wife’s brother, is seen fleeing with the boy toward the East parking garage. Bauer immediately moves to secure the area, ordering CTU agents to stay back to avoid a confrontation.

As the standoff intensifies, Bauer tries to negotiate with Araz. “We can work this out. I will put my gun down if you give me the boy,” Bauer says, but Araz refuses to comply. Meanwhile, CTU operative Tony Almeida coordinates backup efforts, attempting to trap Araz in the building’s basement.

Dina Araz, desperate to save her son, reluctantly provides information to CTU. She warns her husband won’t negotiate, knowing that time is on his side. With only two hours left before nuclear reactors go critical, she hints that Araz is willing to sacrifice everything for his cause, even their son.

As Bauer closes in, he sets up a communication link with CTU to coordinate their next move. Araz is cornered with only three exits from the basement, but the clock is ticking. The tension escalates as CTU races against time to resolve the situation before a potential nuclear disaster.
