Jack and the rest of CTU “Let Fayed slip through their hands.”

The arch-villain of this and last season has come forward and not even Jack Bauer had any idea he was standing right next to him.

Phillip Bauer killed Graem Bauer and made it look like it was the cause of Jack’s interrogation of his little brother. The conversation between Phillip and Graem before his death reveals Phillip to be behind the nuclear bomb detonated a few hours before, and the four nuclear bombs still in play.

Jack learns that Graem is dead while riding back in a helicopter to CTU from Graem’s house. After breaking the news to Jack, Bill Buchanan and the CTU staff try to direct Jack to the current position of the silver Maserati Morris was forced into by Darren McCarthy. After locating the vehicle impossibly quick, they lose it with the same impressive speed.

Using his overwhelmingly pretentious charm Morris tries to talk McCarthy’s girlfriend out of going through with their plan, while McCarthy himself tries to obtain a less attention-grabbing car. In response to what Morris had to say McCarthy’s girlfriend does what any self-respecting woman, who appears to have been a former “dancer”, would do: she shoots her boyfriend in the head. She does not want to do the right thing; however, she wants the $7 million dollar bounty for Morris to herself. Even for 24, the show most notorious for shocking twists, turns and cliffhangers maybe in the history of television, the past few hours have been absolutely shocking. It began with the out-of-this world notion that the arch villain behind this and last season is Jack Bauer’s brother! Then Jack’s dad was implicated, then cleared, then implicated further. All this and there is still his nephew who maintains an impressive resemblance to Jack, not his much shorter balder brother. Then there’s the matter of a piece of L.A. eye-candy whom appears to be Wonder Woman, then turns into possibly the most unspeakable female villain in recent memory.

Tom Lennox wants to resign from his post over the president’s rejection of his more stringent proposals. He does not; however, because a plan that can only be presumed to end with a dead president floats to the surface.

Amri Al-Assad a terrorist and former partner of Abu Fayed has arrived in Washington D.C. Not long after Morris has been handed over to Fayed, and the torture commences, CTU has narrowed in on their location. Jack and three teams of CTU agents move in on the apartment Fayed and his men are holding Morris in. They arrive just after Morris armed the bomb and a firefight of blockbuster movie proportions ensues, only to end in the escape of Fayed and a few of his men. An escape which was described as through a closet which led to the sewer, from a sixth floor apartment, only in 24 would that be believable. They find Morris barely alive due to the hoe he had drilled in his back by Fayed. They also find the second visitor, and it is ready to blow as Jack gets on his radio, and does his best Tom Hanks impression, “CTU this is Bauer we’ve got a problem.”

Jack gets on the radio with Chloe at CTU and she walks him through the disarming of the nuclear bomb that’s sitting in front of him. You may ask why did Jack Bauer disarm the bomb, and not someone more qualified in such an area? Because he’s Jack Bauer.  Don’t be surprised if he cures cancer by the end of 24’s run on your local FOX affiliate. Despite CTU’s efforts and firepower Fayed got away with the reprogramming device for the other nuclear weapons.
