Day 2: 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM

Characters Introduced:

  • Max (Thomas Kretschmann): Underutilized uber-rich shady white man that seems to be behind everything evil in the world.
  • Brian Jacobs (Scott Paulin): David’s legal counsel.

Returning Characters:

Move along

Key Moments:

  • Jack chases Hewitt through some sort of apocalyptic hallway before ending up on the roof. We get a cool breaking dawn shot of Jack looking for him on the roof.
  • When Jack corners Hewitt on the roof, the brain surgeon that Hewitt is pulls a gun on Jack. Jack shoots him in the leg but, of course, Hewitt stumbles off a ledge. Jack races to treat his leg wound only to find that Hewitt’s head slammed into an exposed pipe.
  • Jack calls Tony for a chopper to treat Hewitt, Tony tells him to call Michelle from now on because he is in deep shit.
  • Brian guilts Mike into giving him access to data allowing him to look into Peter Kingsley for Palmer.
  • Carrie finds the knocked out Chappelle.
  • Hewitt dies from his injuries.
  • Jack’s new plan is to use Hewitt’s software to convince Kingsley that Hewitt is still alive. Then Sherry will force him out into the open to make a trade.
  • Tony is arrested before he can escape out of CTU.
  • After helping Jack with Hewitt’s software, Michelle is arrested.
  • David talks to the Prime Minister of Turkey so the American planes can fly over without incident.
  • Kate shows up to pick up Kim. A lot of awkward conversation takes place and will continue to take place between these 2 for the next couple of hours.
  • Sherry makes the call to Kingsley. Eventually Kingsley buys that she has Hewitt and agrees to trade her all the recordings of her involvement for him. They agree to meet at the LA Coliseum. Can you do that? Just show up at sports stadium for your illegal meetings?
  • On their way to the meeting, Jack’s day catches up to him and he has a full on heart attack while behind the wheel. They crash into one of the many dry waterways that are always there in television and movies.

Ridiculousness:

  • Although the chopper is 5 feet from landing on the roof and picking up Jack and the dying Hewitt, Chappelle orders it back because they can’t waste any more resources on Jack’s nonsense. How is that saving resources?
  • So Michelle left CTU to setup shop in one of their tech vans, that’s a good idea. But how about drive away from CTU so when they inevitably come looking for you they don’t find you in the parking lot?
  • In order to prove that Kingsley is evil, he randomly stabs the woman who has been in his office during all his phone calls. I'm sure the bitch had it coming.

Running Totals:

I guess I could chalk Hewitt up as a kill for Jack but I'm feeling charitable today.
