Day 1: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Characters Introduced:

  • Andre Drazen (Zeljko Ivanek): The man who hired Gaines and the first Drazen to hit the screen. Also much like John Hawkes, Ivanek is an awesome character actor.
  • Alberta Green (Tamara Tunie): The first in a long line of suits who come into CTU and take over. Points for, maybe, being the most useless.
  • Ted Cofell (Currie Graham): The man who is funding Gaines' operation. He will be punished accordingly.

Key Moments:

  • Teri calls into CTU then hides the phone to allow Milo to trace it; a trace that may still be going on 8 years later.
  • After the trace fails, Tony provides Jack with a lead from Jamey’s emails. The name Ted Cofell.
  • Sherry pulls an end around on David by calling Carl and telling him to fix the Keith situation. She is then nervous when Carl says they are handling it. Really? You don’t even have a line to cross, Sherry. Don't grow a conscious on me.
  • Everything that happens when Jack goes after Ted Cofell, in this hour and the next hour, is the sequence that solidified me as a 24 fanatic. First Jack just calls Cofell’s office pretending to be an old college buddy to find out whether he is in the office.
  • Alberta Green shows up to yell at everyone working at CTU and constantly threaten Nina about her helping Jack. And I have now detailed her entire run on 24 that goes on for next 6 hours.
  • Once Jack gets to Cofell’s office, he misses him but pulls the fire alarm to stall the elevator. He then races down the stairs so that he can remove the limo driver and take his place. Cofell gets into his limo that is now being driven by Jack. Great shot of limo driver Jack.

Ridiculousness:

  • Are you shitting me Milo? Your attempt to trace Teri’s phone call went on for 45 minutes and you still didn’t get a location! Were you sending men out to trace the phone lines physically? This was 2001 not the 1960s.

Running Totals:

Kim Does Something Stupid?: 1 (5)

  • After knowing her mother was just raped and then their desperate phone call failed, Kim demands that her mother explain why she separated from Jack. You’re level of self-centeredness is immeasurable.
