Run, Jack, run!

[MaxBorg89 · 9/10 · 17 December 2007]

Day 1, 9:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. : Having escaped federal custody, Jack follows a new lead that might allow him to find his missing wife and daughter. Back at CTU, Tony and Nina have to deal with the tragic death of Jamey Farrell, the woman who supposedly helped the conspirators organize the attempt on David Palmer's life, and the presence of Alberta Green (Tamara Tunie), who has been sent by Division to run the agency for the rest of the day and apprehend Bauer as soon as possible. As for Palmer, things don't seem to be improving, as Sherry makes a phone call to Carl Webb (Zach Grenier) and asks him to solve the family problem.

The tenth episode of Season 1 is one of the darkest, mostly at the start (CTU's attempt to save Jamey's life) and in the middle (Sherry and Carl having one of the show's trademark conspiratorial conversations), though neither scene gets close to the sheer pain inflicted by the off-screen rape of Teri Bauer in the previous hour. Less is more, someone once said, though that doesn't detract from 24's explicit moments of plotting and killing.

On the other hand, this show also continues the "Jack gone rogue storyline" that began in Ep. 9, giving Kiefer Sutherland plenty of opportunities to bring his character to new, edgier levels. The final shot, where he does his best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression (imagine the Terminator poster with Sutherland instead of Arnie and you've got it), is probably the coolest (visually speaking) moment of the season.

Getting Rid off the Problem

[claudio_carvalho · 7/10 · 27 October 2007]

On the day of the California Presidential Primary, between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM, Teri contacts Nina, leaves the line open without hanging up the phone, while Nina tries to trace the call but the battery runs out. Jamey dies and the arrogant Alberta Green assumes CTU. The spiteful Sherry calls Carl Webb and asks him to get rid off the problem. Jack chases Ted Cofell following a lead through an e-mail to Jamey.

In the tenth episode of "24", Jamey dies and Nina and Tony come back to zero. Sherry shows how nasty and corrupt she is calling Carl on the back of David Palmer. Jack now is driving Ted but certainly not to the airport. The climax of this series has reduced a lot in this episode. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "9:00"

On the Run

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 2 October 2018]

Little pieces of the location of the women are coming through, but way too early in the day to come to fruition. Jack is loose and has several encounters. Meanwhile, we begin to see the depth of the dirty politics that are going on. The financial forces assisting Palmer are rearing their heads. Palmer's wife is becoming a huge liability. Unfortunately, keeping a low profile isn't remaining a possibility for the CTU and unwelcome changes begin to take place which will complicate things.
