6:06 A.M. – Hewitt climbs to a raised level of the roof and pulls up the ladder so that Jack can not reach him.

Suddenly, Jack falls back in pain, placing his hand to his chest. Sherry asks him what is wrong. Jack admits that Kingsley’s men stopped his heart when they interrogated him. She encourages him to see a doctor, but Jack insists that she help him get to Kingsley. Sherry is to offer to trade Hewitt to Kingsley in exchange for the evidence that implicates her. Knowing that Kingsley will require proof, Jack tells Sherry that Hewitt will do the talking.
6:32 A.M. – Kingsley speaks to Max again, and assures him that the American government most likely does not have the source files for the Cyprus recordings because the bombers are still on course for the Middle East. Kingsley guarantees that Hewitt will be found and eliminated.

6:34 A.M. – Michelle calls Jack when she is connected to Hewitt’s computer. He tells her that Hewitt described his program as one that can recreate any voice. However, Hewitt’s database has samples of thousands of voices. To save time in finding which one is Hewitt’s, Jack asks Sherry when she last spoke to him. Michelle retrieves a taped phone call between Hewitt and Sherry from the pervious night. The recording is of Sherry asking Hewitt about his relationship with Kingsley. Michelle gets a sample for the integrator to recreate Hewitt’s sound, and she need only to type phrases in a separate file to be spoken in Hewitt’s voice.

6:52 A.M. – As Kate drives to CTU, Kim asks her what her relationship is with her father since she only just met him the previous day. Kate has no clear answer. Kim says that she wants him to be happy since her mother died. Kate tells her that she also lost her mother.
6:54 A.M. – Although Sherry is hesitant, Jack makes her call Kingsley with a prepared script. Sherry demands from Kingsley the tapes that he made of their conversations, and she offers up Hewitt in return.

6:59 A.M. – As they drive, Sherry chides Jack for not having a CTU backup at the Figueroa Street meeting place. He is forced to take down Kingsley himself. Sherry notices that Jack has trouble focusing on the road, and she demands that he pull over. Jack rebuffs her because there is no time. Suddenly, Jack winces and the car swerves. His body contorts in pain and Jack loses control of the car. Sherry grabs the steering wheel as they veer off to miss an oncoming van. Jack’s body goes limp and the car careens off the road into an embankment in the riverbed basin.
