Day 1: 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM

Characters Introduced:

  • Greg Penticoff (John Hawkes): The unnamed suspect that Jack chases. And holy shit John Hawkes! The first of many sweet character actors who show up in non-starring 24 roles.

Key Moments:

  • Jamey finds an address off the keycard and Jack immediately gets out of CTU one way or another and by another I mean gut-punching the agent guarding the door. The address leads Jack into a chase after a suspect, a random cop getting in the way, and then that cop getting killed when Jack takes the guy down. Before he is hauled away by the police, the man tells Jack he knows about his daughter.
  • After Tony ratted out to Division about not trusting Jack, George Mason arrives to shut CTU down until Jack is found and then he promptly leaves CTU once Jack shows up.
  • Carl finds out that the allegation is coming from Keith’s therapist. David wants the truth; Sherry wants the world to mind it’s business.
  • Gaines meets up with Rick and Dan to, finally, add some professionalism to this kidnapping.

Ridiculousness:

  • A random janitor is introduced during Jack’s chase so that the cop can speak Spanish allowing Jack to use Spanish to talk to her in the showdown with Penticoff. This would have been cooler if Jack’s plan didn’t end with the cop dead from Penticoff’s bullet.

Running Totals:

Cubs Mug: 1 (2)

  • Tony actually takes a drink from it this time.

Jack Loves America Not Americans: 1 (2)

  • Jack’s drops the agent guarding the door when he makes his escape from CTU.

Kim Does Something Stupid: 1 (4)

  • Kim believes that as the person being kidnapped she can demand that the kidnappers go back and help her friend. Then she gets horrified when Dan agrees to go back in order to put a bullet in Janet.
