Post Description

The following takes place between 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm

Jack poses as Rossler, the programmer, and manages to trace one of the Sentox nerve gas canisters. Two of Erwich's henchmen take Jack to the target — a shopping mall and prepare to release it into the ventilation system. Buchanan and McGill advise Logan to allow this canister to be released to maintain Jack's cover, in order to track the terrorists back to the remaining 19 canisters which Logan authorizes. However Jack goes against the President's orders and attempts to intervene. Some of the gas is released, inflicting casualties but Jack is able to evacuate the mall and kill one of the terrorists. The other one manages to escape as CTU track him back to Erwich. However Erwich takes evasive actions and spots CTU moving in, before ordering his henchman to commit suicide to avoid capture. Logan and Martha argue when she learns that he intends to cover up the real reason for Cummings's suicide.
