Jack Bauer faces his toughest challenge yet in the thrilling ninth episode of 24 season 5. Day 5: 3:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. sees the legendary CTU agent racing against the clock to prevent the unthinkable from happening. The episode opens with President Charles Logan making a desperate attempt to stop the Russian president from launching a nuclear missile, but he's quickly reminded that the threat is very real and time is running out.
Meanwhile, Jack is still mourning the loss of former CTU agent Edgar Stiles, who died in the nerve gas attack from earlier in the season. The weight of his death seems to be taking a toll on Jack, and he's beginning to question whether or not he's still fit for active duty. But when Chloe brings him a lead on the Russian's location, Jack is forced to snap out of it and get back in the game.
With the help of some new recruits, Jack and Chloe manage to track down one of the Russian's hideouts. But when they arrive, they find that they've been set up and the Russians are waiting for them. A tense firefight ensues, with Jack and his team barely managing to escape with their lives. But just when they thought they were out of danger, they're ambushed by the Russians once again.
Back at CTU, the situation is just as dire. Agent Miles Papazian has been tasked with tracking down President Logan's wife, who's gone missing under suspicious circumstances. When Miles discovers that she's been kidnapped by a group of Russian terrorists, he's forced to make a tough decision: should he risk his own life to save hers, or focus on the bigger picture and stop the nuclear attack from happening?
As the clock ticks down and the situation becomes more desperate, Jack and his team must use all their skills and expertise to save the day. But as they close in on the Russian's location, they realize that they may be too late. With tensions running high and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Day 5: 3:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. is one of the most intense episodes of 24 season 5 yet.
