Bauer Power Hour--10:00am-11:00am

This is Bauer Power Hour! It is Tuesday, January 23, 2007 about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and I’m Arielle. Here’s where I’d normally post the warning but you all know the drill so let’s jump on in.

Show Recap
Wayne and his advisors are watching footage of the nuclear bomb that had just been detonated. One square mile of Valencia has been destroyed and the casualties are estimated to be no less than 12,000!!
Karen tells Wayne about there being four more nuclear bombs out there, and for his safety, he is moved down into the bunker. Wayne is very intent on speaking in front of the American people.
Karen calls Bill, and he tells her about Fayed and the safe house and they’re not certain if Fayed was in or not when the bomb went off.
Chloe is freaking out about Curtis and the tact team members who died and she says everyone she knows dies. Morris of course, tries to comfort his love.
People are freaking out in the streets with no idea what’s going on and are trying to escape the city. A girl runs out into the street and is almost hit by a maroon van, with whom other than Fayed inside. He calls the man who sold him the bombs, Derek McCarthy and tells him his scientist died in the blast and he needs him to find someone else who can reconfigure the bombs. Derek is mad that Fayed detonated the bomb in LA and is fleeing to Las Vegas, but Fayed says he’ll double the amount he paid if he will just try to find a new programmer. He agrees.
Jack is staring at the mushroom cloud in a sort of daze, and a man runs up to him asking for help. A helicopter has crashed into a building and there are two more men inside. Jack climbs onto the roof of the building and helps one man out and the helicopter crashes to the ground and explodes. The man asks what’s going on and Jack replies, “nuclear bomb,” in a very matter-of-fact way.
Jack calls Bill and tells him he’s back on the case!
Wayne gets information about Fayed from intelligence and they are trying to pinpoint the country that he his from, which may or may not have been involved with the attacks. An admiral suggests extreme force pretty much without knowing exactly which country is responsible, and Wayne says that they need to know for sure. He’s also mad at himself for releasing the scientist who detonated the bomb.
We see Fayed again and he stares in the back seat of the van to the four more visitors!
Assad is brought into CTU and people stare as he’s led into holding for questioning. Assad is surprised about the nuclear bomb and about Fayed, who had betrayed him 6 months ago. He gives Bill the name of a Russian arms dealer they were in contact with about a year ago, Gredenko.
Morris takes this information and compiles a list of business transactions with Gredenko. Lo and behold, number 17 on the list is an employee of BXJ Technologies, Philip Bauer, Jack’s father. Bill calls Jack to let him know and Jack reveals that they haven’t spoken for 9 years. Bill says they’re just going to bring him in and ask him some questions, but Jack says he wants to do it for himself. He goes to his father’s house.
At the Anacosta Detention Facility, the FBI and Sondra are fighting some more after they tell her they want to put a wire on Walid so he can get information from the group of men who were talking about the four visitors previously. They take him into the bathroom and start yelling, saying they found a connection to a terrorist in his wallet and making a scene, so the other inmates gather round and listen. They rough him up and wire him.
Jack calls his dad’s house, and gets a man named Sam. Sam says Philip left a couple days ago without saying where he was going and gave him his brother Graham’s number, 818-555-0175. Sam says Jack’s father regrets the way things ended between them. We then see that Sam is being monitored by a man named Liddey and he promptly calls Graham and we get the shock of a lifetime! Liddey says that Jack is poking around and Graham says they should have killed him when they had the chance. Nice.
Jack calls Graham and asks where their father is and he needs his help finding him. After they hang up he calls Chloe and asks her for Grahams address, 226 Pine Crest Road.
We then see another family, Graham’s and they are worried about the nukes. Graham tells his wife Marilyn and son Josh that he talked to Jack and she seemed very eager to hear about him and Graham calls her on it.
Wayne is talking to his advisors about the speech he’s going to give and once again Tom and Karen are on opposite sides of the matter. Tom wants to go for a way that would inspire fear, but Wayne says the ultimate objective is to “restore order and make the streets safe again.”
McCarthy, the bomb seller picks up a woman and says they have stuff to do so they’re not leaving LA. He calls Fayed and says he found someone. Fayed hangs up and says the remaining bombs will go off on schedule.
Nadia has been questioning Assad and when she finishes she tells Bill that she believes that he wants peace. Assad wishes Bill luck and then he is transported to DC.
On the FBI Walid Feed, the men fell for the attack and let Walid into their circle. A man comes up to him and asks him what it was all about and Walid seemed reluctant to tell but he says he was contacted by a man with some good ideas and says his name was Abu Fayed. The man doesn’t know who that is but he lets Walid into his circle anyway.
Jack gets to Graham’s house and Graham hugs him big time and Jack just kind of stands there. Josh comes out and Graham re-introduces them then they go into Graham’s office where Jack asks him about their father. He doesn’t say much and is being annoying so Jack punches him and knocks him out, ties him up with a lamp cord and says he better start talking or else it will start hurting.
Wayne has finished his speech and is noticeably scared, but he composes himself and gives his speech to the American public.
Graham is still not talking and says he doesn’t know anything and he swears on the life of his family. Jack looks him in the eye and says that’s not good enough. He tells Graham he brought this on himself and puts a plastic bag over his head and starts to suffocate him.

Thoughts
So I have been mislead, Nadia Yassir is not head of CTU, Bill is, I guess she’s just head of Tech or something. MY BAD!

Jack got the looks in the family.

Please don’t say that kid is Jack’s!

Whoreness runs in the Bauer family!

Punch—Graham!!!
DYST!—Bag on head
BL—“The president is talking do NOT interrupt” (Tom)
WL—Anything that came out of Graham’s mouth smarmy
KK—4001, undershot the estimate so the old kill count was 9,996 but now we add 4,000 more for my bad estimating skills and 1 for the guy in the helicopter = 13,997 SNAP!
CC—One DI from McCarthy and 1 SOB from FBI man. Jack still at one. Sigh.
