Four more "suitcase nukes" are out there, and Jack's only lead takes him to the home of his brother.
Through Al-Assad's intel, Jack learns of a connection between his father Phillip Bauer and the nuke supplier. Jack contacts his brother, Graem, and demands information. As Fayed searches for triggers for his nukes, Al-Rezani spies on suspicious detention camp inmates
In summary,here the events that happened during that hour:
1.A nuclear bomb goes off in Valencia, killing over 12,000. President Wayne Palmer learns that four more are at large and that CTU is looking for them.
2.Darren McCarthy talks with Abu Fayed about replacing the engineer and trigger he lost in the explosion. Fayed assures his comrades that the remaining bombs will go off.
3.Walid Al-Rezani, confined to a detention facility, is enlisted by the FBI to see if he can find a terrorist cell there. The agents put on a show of beating him and secretly tell him to mention Fayed's name, and see what he comes up with. The other agent assures Sandra Palmer, Walid's lawyer, that he's in no danger.
4.Hamri Al-Assad mentions to Bill Buchanan the name of a man that Fayed contacted about the nukes: a one Dmitri Gredenko, an ex-Soviet general.
5.Bill relates this information to Jack Bauer, adding that Jack's father is involved, too. Jack refuses Bill's help and searches for his father by himself.
6.Graem Bauer, Jack's brother, learns with dismay that Jack is alive and in California, and searching for their father.
7.Jack unannounced, visits his brother, who tells him to relax, but Jack threatens him with torture unless he starts talking. Graem insists he knows nothing, but Jack doesn't believe him, and starts to suffocate him with a plastic bag.
The intrigue deepens for Day 6 as Jack learns of a connection between Phillip Bauer, Jack's father, and the Abu Fayed's nuke supplier through Chloe and Assad's intel. Jack contacts his brother, Graem Bauer, who lies about Phillip's whereabouts, so Jack resorts to drastic measures for information. We see Jack tortures his brother and let him undergo interrogation process.This brings less excitement and entertainment and critics of the 24 gives them a reason to be more critical of the show for this reason - politics of torture - alone.Lastly,having the Bauer family somewhat involved with the nuke supplier is a great pirouette from the character background of Jack - another reason why this happens to be a disappointing Day 6 season.
