The "Death" of Jack Bauer

At the conclusion of Day Four, due to his involvement in a secret raid on the Los Angeles Chinese Consulate that resulted in the friendly fire death of the Chinese Consul, Jack Bauer was scheduled to be handed over to the Chinese authorities. Presidential Adviser Walt Cummings ordered Secret Service Agent Dale Spaulding to kill Bauer once he was in custody in order to prevent the Chinese from extracting any harmful information from Bauer. Mike Novick, chief of staff to President Charles Logan, overheard the conversation and informed his friend, former President David Palmer. Palmer called Bauer and urged him to flee CTU.

Bauer, along with Tony Almeida, Michelle Dessler, and Chloe O'Brian, planned an escape in which Bauer faked his own death to avoid being taken into custody. Once Secret Service Agent Spaulding and CTU personnel left the scene, Bauer was administered epinephrine and was revived. Almeida and Dessler smuggled Bauer out of CTU and dropped him off on a secluded road. He thanked them for all that they had done for him, then called President Palmer, thanking him as well for the advanced warning. "For all intents and purposes," Palmer stated, "Jack Bauer is dead." Bauer hung up the phone and walked off.
