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

Characters Introduced:

  • Stephen Saunders (Paul Blackthorne): All the best villains should have English accents. Does the majority of his evil sitting at a desk making calls.
  • Craig Phillips (Doug Savant): Poor hotel security guy who was just trying to pick up a check to feed his family. Hopefully he has a nice life insurance policy.

Returning Characters:

Blank

Key Moments:

  • Jack tells Chappelle that his shooting of Nina was justified … where was Raylan Givens?
  • Saunders meets up with Amador and Alvers. He delivers the detonating device for dispersing a vial of the virus. He gives Amador shit for going behind his back to do the deal in Mexico plus hints at having knowledge of Jack Bauer. The second half of Amador’s payment will be received after the virus is released at the “hotel”.
  • Chloe finds a lead on Amador and Chase interrupts Chappelle’s reaming of Jack to get things in motion. Chase defends Jack and Jack gives his word to Chappelle and off they go.
  • Alvers walks into the Chandler Plaza Hotel.
  • Jack and Chase reach the club that Amador is hanging out in. The undercover cop gives them the room that is guarded before being caught. Jack and Chase fly into the club. Amador kills the cop. Jack knocks down Amador and has Chase move him into a room because they have work to do.
  • Jack and Chase work on Amador. He reveals that the man he works for knows Jack. When Amador starts taunting, Jack holds him down and Chase takes a knife to his hand. Amador passes out from a cut on the palm! Jack tells Chase to do it again when he wakes up.
  • Jack updates CTU on the hidden man knowing Jack and that Amador’s computer has the blueprints for the Chandler Plaza Hotel. Tony locks the hotel down and Chappelle sends Michelle to lead the team heading to the hotel. Gael reappears out of thin air to join her.
  • Michelle arrives at the hotel but Tony tells her to wait for Hazmat before entering. Gael accesses the security cam for the hotel and locates Alvers walking through the door. Michelle decides to go in and tells the rest of the team that it is voluntary to join her.
  • Alvers sets the virus bomb near the air conditioning fans in the basement.
  • Michelle finds and quickly arrests Alvers. He gives up the bomb’s location with little coersion. Gael finds it but is separated by a fan … just get into the room where the bomb is set! Instead Gael tries to reach under the fan and fails. The vial is shattered and the powder blows right into Gael’s face.

Ridiculousness:

  • Holy shit General Juma moonlighted as a LA detective in his spare time. See you in 4 years Tony Todd!
  • What the hell was Alvers doing for 45 minutes inside the hotel? Who taught him how to set bombs?

Running Totals:

Jack’s body count: 1 (54)

  • Jack goes through a guard to get to Amador.

Torture doesn’t mean you can’t be creative: 1(17)

  • Jack and Chase’s knife game on Amador was a sweet bit of teamwork.
