Season Five, also known asDay 5, of the television series24premiered on January 15, 2006 and aired its season finale on May 22, 2006. The Season Five storyline starts and ends at 7:00 a.m. - the same time frame as the previous season. It is widely considered to be the series' most acclaimed season by fans and critics alike, scoring the show's highest ratings and receiving twelve Emmy Award nominations with five wins.

Season overview Season Fiveis set 18 months after Season Four. Former Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer begins the season, working as a day-to-day laborer at an oil refinery under the alias "Frank Flynn" in Mojave, California. On a monumental day in Charles Logan's presidency, an anti-terrorism treaty with Russian President Yuri Suvarov is about to be signed when events take a tragic turn. Season 5 is one of the24seasons that can be divided into three main acts: 1.In the first act, two murders force Jack to reveal himself. He attempts to save innocent people from a plot involving Russian separatists that is rapidly unfolding. 2. In the second act, the terrorists gain control of nerve gas canisters with help from corrupt officials. 3.In the final act, Jack discovers how deep the conspiracy goes and fights against numerous threats to get hold of a recording that implicates President Logan.

Major subplots bJack is distraught by the loss of David Palmer. This motivates his crusade throughout the day, with him stating "this is personal" several times. Jack comes into contact with people who thought he was dead, including his daughter Kim Bauer and his former girlfriend Audrey Raines. The First Lady attempts to correct the President's perceived mistakes. The Vice President convinces the President to impose martial law in Los Angeles without approval from the U.S. Congress. Chloe loses two men in her life when one of them dies and the other is apprehended for his involvement in a murder. b Bill Buchanan's authority at CTU is undermined first by Lynn McGill and then by Karen Hayes, though both eventually come around to his way of thinking.

24 (season 5)

Summary Former U.S. President David Palmer is assassinated in Los Angeles, California and Jack Bauer is framed for his murder. The assassins also plan to frame Jack for murders of Tony Almeida, Michelle Dessler and Chloe O'Brian, all of whom helped Jack fake his death. Michelle is killed and Tony is critically injured but Jack manages to save Chloe. After investigating David Palmer's death, Jack goes looking for further information at LA/Ontario International Airport which is subsequently attacked by terrorists. The terrorists are Russian separatists in contact with an official named James Nathanson. They take 40 people hostage in attempt to dissuade President Logan from signing a landmark anti-terrorism treaty with Russian President Yuri Suvarov. Terrorists, led by Vladimir Bierko, use the plot as a diversion to steal 20 canisters of VX nerve gas. While searching for the nerve gas, Jack discovers the involvement of James Nathanson and White House Chief of Staff Walt Cummings. They plan to release nerve gas on Russian soil and to use that as an excuse to invoke the military clauses of the treaty, allowing Logan to secure American petroleum interests in Central Asia. David Palmer was killed because he was beginning to find out about their plan. The nerve gas is deployed at Sunrise Hills Shopping Mall (resulting in 10-20 fatalities out of eight-nine hundred shoppers) and Tyler Memorial Hospital (unsuccessfully due to the actions of CTU and Curtis Manning). Jack questions a former co-worker of his, Christopher Henderson, whom he believes is willing to help. Instead Henderson locks Jack in a room with a bomb nearly killing him. Jack has Henderson brought to CTU and tortured where he refuses to reveal additional knowledge about the conspiracy. When terrorists break into CTU and release nerve gas there, Christopher Henderson, Tony Almeida, Jack Bauer, Kim Bauer, Chloe O'Brian, Audrey Raines and others are spared in sealed safe-rooms. 40% of the personnel including Edgar Stiles and Lynn McGill are killed. When CTU is decontaminated, Jack rushes to the medical room and sees that Henderson killed Tony and escaped. The fallout from this attack convinces the Vice President to absorb CTU into Homeland Security (DHS). CTU and Homeland Security agents race to find the location of the remaining nerve gas canisters. This turns out to be Wilshire Gas Co. By incinerating the pipelines, Jack stops the nerve gas from being released and captures Vladimir Bierko. Through the assistance of Wayne Palmer (David Palmer's brother) and Evelyn Martin (Special Assistant to the First Lady), Jack discovers that President Logan is responsible for the attacks. He is at the center of a conspiracy involving Cummings, Henderson, Nathanson, a mysterious man known as Graem and a group of men who monitor and influence the actions of Logan from an undisclosed location. Jack and Wayne retrieve a recording that implicates Logan from a bank vault and attempt to turn it over to U.S. Secretary of Defense James Heller. Things do not go as planned and Christopher Henderson uses Audrey as leverage to get the recording from Jack. Jack and Audrey recapture Henderson but they find that he has passed the recording on to a co-conspirator aboard a diplomatic flight. Jack boards the plane and reclaims the recording by taking the co-pilot hostage. This triggers a response from Charles Logan who tries to have the plane shot down, citing that it could be used against civilians. This causes others in Logan's inner circle to becomes suspicious of his motives. Jack Bauer lands the plane and delivers the recording to CTU only to have it destroyed by a traitor from DHS. Bierko escapes CTU custody, and uses his last nerve gas container to take over a Russian submarine and gain control of twelve multiple-warhead non-nuclear missiles, each one capable of wiping out approximately seven city blocks. After cutting a deal with Christopher Henderson, Jack and Henderson together stop the attack from the submarine, and kill Bierko and his men. During a final standoff, Jack kills Henderson to get revenge for his friends. With the help of the First Lady, Mike Novick, Aaron Pierce, and Chloe, Jack is able to place a listening device on Logan which informs the U.S. Attorney General of his deception. At a memorial service for David Palmer, Charles Logan is taken away by U.S. Marshals. However, Jack Bauer is captured as well by Chinese agents. The season ends with a bound and tortured Jack on a ship headed for China.

Production [3] A 10-minute prequel to the season was available with the fourth season DVD. The prequel, which takes place one year after Day 4, shows Jack and Chloe meeting in Chicago, Illinois. Based on computer intrusion that happened when Chloe accessed Jack's autopsy report, she expresses concern that others might know Jack is still alive. This is confirmed when he tries to leave the meeting place and gets chased by agents in a black car. It was broadcast on Sky One in the United Kingdom before the showing of the fifth season.

Trailer The trailer for the fifth season recapped the Season 4 ending and emphasized that the show would be continuously aired. Many scenes shown were from the Season 5 premiere but a scene that shows an aerial view of Jack Bauer was unique to the trailer. Such a scene would not have been used in the show because the camera department prefers to [4] shoot all scenes at eye level.

Deaths This season is notable for the high number of major characters killed off. Significant deaths included David Palmer, Michelle Dessler, and Edgar Stiles. Spoilers released by Ain't It Cool News revealed that two major characters [5] including a politician would die in the premiere episode. Tony Almeida was seeming killed, but was revealed to be alive in the seventh season. Show runner Howard Gordon mentioned in an interview that they purposely filmed [6] Tony's death in a way that would allow his eventual return. Guest characters who died were Walt Cummings and Lynn McGill. The life of Aaron Pierce was threatened, but Martha Logan helped save him.

Reviews of "7:00 a.m.–8:00 [8] a.m." were almost universally positive, with a score of 89/100 from Metacritic.
