24: 9:00am-10:00am

24: 9:00am-10:00am
Air Traffic Control is trying to figure out what happened with the plane on their screen. Tony tells the plane to switch to Runway 3-1 left, communicating as ATC. This means he can get the pilot of the plane to do whatever he wants.
Jack thinks that someone has infiltrated the FBI because there is no way they could have gotten a sniper on the roof that fast. Renee doesn’t believe that, and puts Jack in a time out.
Air Traffic Control’s screens go haywire as Tony tells SRI35 to land on the 4 Right runway, which puts them in a path with 317. Tony calls Air traffic control and tells them to pull up the surveillance tower. The planes are on a direct course for each other. Tony tells 317 to pull up at the last moment and says, “Now you know what we can do.” What does he want? “You’ll find out soon enough.”
A man named Emmerson meets with Tony and asks him how they found Schecter. Tony says they used Jack Bauer.
As a press secretary is giving a press conference about the President’s decision to intervene in Juma’s genocide, president is alerted to the situation at JFK. They tell her about Tony and what he has done.
Taylor meets with Matobo and asks him to punish Juma according to the law so that the cycle of violence isn’t perpetuated. He gives her his word.
Meanwhile, the sniper, Tanner, is stuck in the building, as FBI have surrounded it. He calls Tony and tells him that he is in the west staircase.
Jack, still in his time out, is given sympathy by the FBI driver, and says that it’s wrong what they’re doing to him despite all he’s done for his country. Jack uses this to ask for some air, and the driver allows him to get out of the vehicle. He doesn’t stay close.
Tanner, still stuck in the building gets a surprise visit from an FBI agent that Tony sent, who gives him an FBI jacket and allows him to escape. He exits the building, but Jack notices that he is not wearing black shoes like everyone else, and quickly identifies him as the shooter. Jack tells Renee that they should go on their own, and she is convinced. We get to see some of Jack’s crazy driving skills!
Tony and Emmerson bring the component to Dubaku, who was featured in Redemption. He is still mad that the U.S. government was responsible for the death of his brother.
The first gentleman, still on his quest to find out more about his son’s girlfriend worries his driver, who contacts Ethan (who is he?) so that he can tell the president.
Janice notifies Larry that Renee has left the scene, and he calls her to see what is going on. She lies to him and he can tell, so he has Janice triangulate the signal on Renee’s walkie.
On the car ride, Renee asks Jack how far he would have gone with Schecter, and he doesn’t answer. She stays on his back for his past, and he gets really annoyed about it.
The first gentleman, Henry, questions his son’s girlfriend about the $400,000 that she got, she says it is her aunts and she helped her hide it from the IRS. Henry isn’t buying it and gets surly with her.
Jack and Renee follow Tanner, who gets out of his car. He sees them, and sneaks through some crates where Renee pops out and Tanner draws his gun, but Jack already has his on him. Jack asks where Tony is and when he won’t answer proceeds to give a swift beating. Jack sees a security camera and uses a cloth as a silencer to shoot it. This alerts Tony to Jack’s presence. Jack goes further and uses Tanner as a human shield. Shots are fired and 2 of Tony’s men are killed. They enter the boat where Renee finds a computer that is deleting all the system files. Jack finds Tony and they duel. Jack pulls his gun and Tony t urns to look at him. Jack, seeing Tony’s face for the first time, hesitates, and Tony runs. Jack regains his composure and tackles Tony to the ground and they fight some more. Larry Moss comes in with a helicopter, having traced Renee’s walkie. Jack looks at Tony and asks “What happened to you?”
My Thoughts: The FBI agent who thinks that Jack is being treated unfairly—IT’S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SAID THAT! I don’t know how many times I’ve thought those exact sentiments.
Latham: Poor guy… he was so timid and shy, every time the camera was on him he looked like he wet himself.
President’s Son’s girlfriend: I noticed she had what looked like an engagement ring on her right hand…
Tony: It was kind of heart wrenching to see the way that Jack has been reacting to Tony’s return. Tony was the only friend Jack had for a long time, and now he’s become something that Jack has spent his life to fight against. Tony has become this like hardened criminal. He looks so dead inside. Especially when Jack had him pinned up against the wall, there was nothing there.
Who I want to Punch:
Did you see that?!: Plane near miss
Best Line: What happened to you?
Worst Line: You’ll find out soon enough
Kill Count: 3, Tanner and 2 guards bringing the total to 4
Curse Count: 1 B word from Prez, 1 H from Larry Moss, and 1 of Jack’s favorite damn it from Renee
