Day 2: 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM

Characters Introduced:

• Raymond O’Hara (Brian Goodman): The lead thug tracking the recording.
• Ronnie Stark (Peter Outerbridge): Jack’s very professional torturer.
• Peter Kingsley (Tobin Bell): The first ever rich shady white guy who is behind everything. This became a 24 staple.
• Marcus (Nick Offerman): Lead redneck. Now awesomely mustached on Parks & Rec.

Returning Characters:

Sonuvabitch

Key Moments:

• Yusuf discovers a tracking device connected to the chip dug out of Wallace’s body.
• When Jack spots the thugs tracking them, he gives the chip to Yusuf and Kate and tells them to meet him at some location. Jack then takes the tracking device and runs.
• Tony updates the President on what Jack is up to. David uses this information to call off the imminent bombing of unnamed nations. Mike vehemently argues against this decision but David Palmer is not to be denied. This was one of Jude’s best scenes.
• Jack is seen running through the parking lot and tasered to the ground before escaping.
• Lynne talks with Mike about a secret meeting setup by Prescott. I hear ominous music.
• A very naked Jack wakes through the joys of vomiting. Kingsley’s men are torturing Jack for information on the recording. After Jack turns down any deal, Ronnie gets down to some cutting.
• Mike tells Lynne about a source he is in contact with about Prescott’s secret meeting. Lynne wants in on their next conversation.
• The torture of Jack continues with burning instead of cutting.
• Mike Novick sucks.
• Jack’s torture continues with smelling salts to wake him up every time he passes out. Eventually Jack doesn’t wake up and the hour ends with Jack flatlined.

Ridiculousness:

• Since CTU is a horrible work environment, we find out that Carrie broke up Michelle’s brother’s marriage. At the same time Michelle tells this to Tony, the brother shows up and eventually attacks Carrie. Thank you for that 24.
• Her is one of my most hated scenes in 24 history. Lynne and Mike sit around waiting for his “source”. Mike asks Lynne about the law that allows Prescott to gain the Presidency if the majority of the cabinet votes against Palmer. Mike asks Lynne if she supports Palmer or Prescott. When Lynne sides with Palmer, Mike locks her in the closet with a guard. FUCK YOU MIKE NOVICK! FUCK YOU 24 FOR THIS HEEL TURN! But I do like the idea that this is how the highest level of our government acts.
• Yusuf gets beat up by LA rednecks. This was just an awful storyline.
