Day 8: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

  • Eden Linley (Julia Claire): Pillar's assistant that he brings along to CTU … um … she’s hot. That’s all I got from her character.

Returning Characters:

None

Key Moments:

  • Dalia finishes off her speech taking the reigns from her dead husband.
  • Bledsoe calls Pillar with an update on his difficulty in breaking Dana. Logan says it wasn’t going to be easy. When Bledsoe asks for confirmation on execution, Logan and Pillar talk around actually approving while clearly approving.
  • Dana is being waterboarded. She claims that she made everything up and gets more water poured on her face for her troubles.
  • Jack and Cole are outside the location where Dana is being tortured. Cole asks what they are going to do with her and Jack tells him that they will cut her deal. Chloe calls again and Cole continues to lie. Before they head out, Jack hands Cole the bullets to the gun. Cole just says “you sonuvabitch” and Jack just mutters “yeah”.
  • Jack and Cole have made it up to the roof. Jack spots the man on the roof, so Cole makes a noise and Jack knocks him out. They head into the building and down the stairs. When they spot a group of guys, Jack calls in a fake report with the radio they stole from the guy on the roof. All of the guys race to the roof and Jack and Cole sneak up on the communications guy. Jack gets Dana’s location and then knocks him out. He kicks in a door and Bledsoe puts his gun on Dana. Bledsoe is in the middle of saying, “you won’t take the shot it’s too risky” when Jack shoots him in the head. HAHA! Cole is dumbstruck. Cole frees Dana while Jack kills 3 more guys to clear their exit.
  • Arlo tells Chloe that Cole’s team is calling in saying Jack ambushed them.
  • Jack and friends are driving along when Jack explains his plan to Dana. She doesn’t believe he will let her go so Jack peels out and finds an abandoned area to park. He yanks her out of the SUV and throws her against a pillar and puts his gun to her chest. He says he will count back from 3. Dana looks to Cole but when Jack gets to 1, she tells him the evidence is in a safety deposit box at a bank. Cole drags her back to the SUV while she screams about Jack’s plans for her. Cole then shoves Jack but still gets into the SUV.
  • Taylor is given the news that Jack has acquired Dana. She calls Logan and his plan now is to put a man inside CTU to manage things. He offers Pillar. She agrees then hangs up on him. Logan tells Pillar to head over to CTU.
  • Logan meets with Novakovich who brings along Tokarev. He explains what is going on with Jack Bauer. Logan explains that Taylor doesn’t have the stomach to get rid of Jack so he tells Novakovich to handle it. Pillar will provide Jack’s location. Logan offers a secure phone that Tokarev picks up.
  • When they reach the bank, Jack tells Cole that he will have to take Dana in because Jack is too hot right now. Dana continues to work on Cole as they head into the bank.
  • Pillar arrives at CTU and heads straight up to Chloe’s office. Eden is tagging along. Pillar boots Chloe from running the search for Jack and immediately switches the rules of engagement to shoot on sight.
  • Dana and Cole are let into a private room to wait for their safety deposit box. She starts telling him the story of her life but he doesn’t buy her sincerity. The box is delivered and when Cole opens it some sort of flash bang goes off knocking Cole out. Dana picks up the gun from the box and shoots the bank officer. She pockets the recording and cash. Dana stops and looks over Cole before picking up the phone to call in an alert on Jack Bauer.
  • Pillar is annoyed that they haven’t confirmed that Jack Bauer is at the bank yet. After ordering people around, he gets his confirmation. Pillar walks off the floor and calls Tokarev with the location.
  • While waiting outside the bank, 2 cops try to arrest Jack. He starts talking his way out of it but switches gears when he sees Dana run by. Jack disarms the first cop and holds him hostage and talks the other cop into dropping his gun. He shoots the cop in the foot and knocks the hostage out. He tells the crowd to call an ambulance and heads out after Dana. She spots him and the chase is on.
  • Dana shoots a pedestrian but Jack doesn’t even break his stride. She runs into a building and takes her shoes off to silence her steps. They shoot at each other for a bit before Dana heads upstairs. She tries to set-up a trap for Jack but this isn’t Jack’s first rodeo. He takes off his jacket and tosses it at the staircase causing Dana to fire her remaining bullets. Jack walks upstairs and puts his gun on Dana. He asks about Cole and she says she could never kill him. He then asks about the evidence and she takes it out of her pocket and places it on the ground. Jack walks right up to her and she asks him what she can do … and he says nothing. He then shoots her in the chest to knock her to the ground then a second shot to the chest when she was on the ground. He picks up the evidence and walks away.

Ridiculousness:

  • The way Jack’s execution of Dana was shot was really weird. It came off very ambiguous. I know he couldn’t shoot her point blank in the head on camera but shooting her in the chest made it seem like he was shooting to wound. Very odd.

Running Totals:

Torture doesn’t mean you can’t be creative: 1 (53)

  • It’s about time that 24 got down to some waterboarding.

Jack’s body count: 5 (250)

  • The way Jack killed Bledsoe was phenomenal and he followed it up with a few faceless goons.
  • Jack executes Dana Walsh to everyone’s relief.

Jack loves America not Americans: 2 (42)

  • I’m sure shooting that cop in the foot really bothered Jack.
