24, Day 1, Episode 1211:02 A.M.-11:05 A.M.: Kevin grudgingly tells Jack where to go. Jack warns him that his family better still be alive, or else. Green has gathered up allof CTU to thank them for working so hard. She lets them know that there's a high probability Palmer is still in danger, and Jack is their key lead. Ninaand Tony have no choice but to listen to her as she drones on about how they're also looking for the imposter photographer, as the man is probably Jack'saccomplice. When the meeting concludes, Nina calls Jack to give him the heads up. He interrupts her to say that, thanks to Kevin, he's on his way to seeTeri and Kimberly. He asks that she open up the GPS function on the palm pilot she sent him so he can scope out the compound. After she warns him aboutGreen, he tells her he'll turn himself in right after he finds his family. As soon as they hang up, Tony comes over to ask Nina if that was Jack. She saysit was and fills him in on what he's up to. He thinks she should tell Green. She says she won't do that until Jack gets his family out. And if he doesn'tget them out, then she'll have to live with the consequences. She tells him she appreciates what he's doing, but he shouldn't feel as if he has to continuecovering for Jack. He says he's not doing it for Jack, and walks away. Green has been watching them, and knows that they're hiding something.11:05 A.M.-11:09 A.M.: Teri and Kimberly drag Eli's body onto a platform, and cover it up with a big metal tub. Teri gives Kimberly a sanctimonious lectureabout how it's alright to kill someone in self defense. But Kimberly admits she's glad the creep is dead. Their bonding moment is ruined when Eli's beeperstarts going off. The pair quickly lift the tub so Teri can get the beeper. She then tells Kimberly they have to get out now before the others come lookingfor Eli. Since there are two guys right outside the shed, they need to wait until the coast is clear. Kevin has done as promised and led Jack right tothe compound. Nina calls Jack with the coordinates he requested, but soon does an about face and stresses that she thinks they should bring Green intothis so she can authorize backup. Her suggestion sets Jack off, since he feels CTU could turn things into another Waco. She gives up and sends him thephotos of the compound over the palm pilot. With that done, Jack drags Kevin out of the car, making like he's going to kill him. Instead, he makes Kevinpresentable by wiping the blood off his face. Thinking Jack went back on his word, Kevin reminds him of the agreement. Jack doesn't care about Kevin'sagreement; he only cares about his own agreement, which was that he'll let Kevin go after he knows his family is safe. Like Nina, Kevin warns Jack thathe's being stupid to go into an armed compound by himself. Stupid is as stupid does. Jack uncuffs Kevin, hands him the keys, and tells him to drive. Kevinmakes one last appeal -- if Gaines finds out he brought Jack into the compound, he'll kill them both. Jack says they should avoid Gaines then. Kevin hasno more appeals left to make, and drives Jack into the compound.11:09 A.M.-11:12 A.M.: Palmer and Mike are riding in the limo together. Mike sees Palmer's got something on his mind, and asks what it is. Palmer tellshim what Carl is doing. Mike thinks he's being paranoid, but promises to call Ferragamo himself to tell him to be on his guard. Palmer says he alreadydid that, only to get Ferragamo's voicemail. Mike is absolutely furious that Palmer exposed himself like that smack in the middle of his campaign. Jackhides himself under a blanket in the backseat of the car as he and Kevin approach the security gate. Jack warns Kevin that if anything goes wrong, he'llshoot everyone in and around the car starting with him. Neill greets Kevin at the gate, and tells him Gaines has been waiting for him. He sees Kevin'sface is a mess and asks what happened. Kevin makes a sarcastic response and has Neill open the gate. Nothing goes wrong; Neill and the other guy with himopen it.11:16 A.M.-11:20 A.M.: After Jack and Kevin get safely inside, Jack orders Kevin to pull over. He asks him how many men are on site and what building Teriand Kimberly are in, and isn't too pleased with Kevin's vague answers. Kevin has one last appeal after all -- he tries to be the straw that broke the Bauers'marriage by spitting back to Jack all the things Teri told him in confidence at the hospital. Jack rams him in the back of the head with his pistol toshow him who's boss, then pulls out the palm pilot so that Kevin can tell him which building Teri and Kimberly are in. After Kevin points to the formercold storage shed where they're being held, he attempts to karate chop Jack in the throat, but Jack blocks it and subsequently beats the crap out of himin a rage. Looks like Jack took care of yet another star witness -- Kevin is out cold. So he grabs the palm pilot, gets out of the car, and sets off onfoot to find the ladies himself.11:20 A.M.-11:23 A.M.: While Rick and numerous other men are moving stuff out of the compound center, Gaines is on the phone with Drazen, being warned thattime is money. After they hang up, Gaines stops Rick to ask where Eli is. Rick says he hasn't seen him. Gaines tells him he sent Eli to snuff out the womena half hour ago, and asks him to see what's holding him up. Rick checks to make sure Gaines wants him to finish loading up a truck first. Gaines does.Meanwhile, Jack is making his way through the woods with his pistol in one hand and palm pilot in the other. He finds the center and sees all the thugscarrying things to red vans parked right outside the building. Dr. Ferragamo returns Palmer's call. When Palmer says he called to talk about Keith, Ferragamoreminds the senator that would be a violation of doctor/patient privileges. Palmer throws it up to Ferragamo that he had no problems violating doctor/patientprivileges when it was to the press. Ferragamo mistakenly believes Palmer is threatening him, so Palmer sets the record straight who is. But since Ferragamois under the impression that Palmer was the one who covered up Lyle Gibson's murder, he twists Palmer's words and continues to believe he's the one who'sthreatening him. In a fit of anger, Ferragamo stubbornly hangs up. Palmer attempts to call back, but only gets his answering machine again. He leaves amessage begging Ferragamo to hear him out, but the shrink won't pick up the phone. Mike gloats that it didn't sound like the meeting went very well. Palmerwants to go see Ferragamo in person now. Mike reminds him he has to give a speech in an hour. Palmer says he'll be late then. Mike's pleading falls ondeaf ears. Teri tells Kimberly that the men are gone, and they have to move fast. They grab their things and Teri grabs the gun, but before they even makeit out the door, the main door in the other part of the shed flies open. Kimberly goes to hide with Eli's knife in her hand while Teri backs away fromthe door with her pistol drawn. The door slowly opens, and somebody jumps out from behind, knocks the gun from Teri's hand and pulls her down to the ground.Luckily, it's Jack. He keeps his hand over her mouth long enough to tell her who it is. She's relieved, he takes his hand away, and the two share a kiss.Kimberly runs over and the three hug for a good, long time. He promises to get them out soon.11:28 A.M.-11:30 A.M.: Green asks Nina if she's made any progress. Nina says she's working on the threat assessment. Green blurts out how she believes sheand Tony are both harboring Jack. Nina tells her Jack is not a threat to Palmer. Green wonders how she could know that if she hasn't talked to him likeshe claims. Nina tells Green to polygraph them both if she thinks they're lying. Green sees that for the stall tactic it is. Since neither of them willtalk, she tells them to go to two separate holding rooms and wait there. When Tony asks what she's doing, Green replies they're both suspended. Nina saysshe doesn't have the authority to do that. Apparently, she does, and to prove it, she pits the two against each other -- the first person who tells whereJack is will have a career and a future; the other will be prosecuted and discharged. Gaines spots Rick still loading the vans, and yells at him for notchecking on Eli. Rick does as told.11:30 A.M.-11:34 A.M.: While staring at Eli's body, Jack asks Teri who he is. When she tells him Eli was sent in to kill them, Jack states the obvious;that somebody will come in to look for him. Teri's stomach acts up again. Jack sees her in pain and goes to comfort her, but just then Rick starts bangingon the door to ask Kimberly to open up. Kimberly tells Jack that Rick is okay; he's the one who gave them the gun. Jack doesn't listen to her and ordersher to back away the door while he points his gun at it. Rick enters, and Jack grabs him by the throat and starts choking him with his gun pointed squarelyat his chest. Teri and Kimberly both plead to let Rick go as he's on their side now. Jack stops choking Rick, but keeps his gun on him, and asks why he'shelping them. Rick admits that he got Kimberly into this, without knowing where it was going to lead, and wants to get her out of it. Kimberly tries togo over to check if Rick is okay, but Jack violently pushes her away from him. Jack has debriefed Rick enough for the day and decides to let him sit withhis ^partner.^ If Kimberly was happy to see her daddy a few minutes ago, she probably isn't now. Green is grilling Tony one-on-one in the holding roomwhere he was told to wait. She says they both know why Nina is covering for Jack, and believes the only reason he's covering for him is to cover for Nina-- whom she thinks is using him. While she tries to appeal to Tony by asking him not to put Palmer's life on the line, Nina racks her brains out in theother holding room. Green asks him why Jack grabbed Hayes' gun. Tony says Jack claimed he was trying to create a diversion. Green knows what Jack said,but what she really wants to know is what Tony thinks. She doesn't believe him when he says he doesn't know where Jack is, and threatens him with jailtimeif he doesn't spill the beans within 10 minutes. Rick rehides Eli's body, and Jack announces he's going to step out for a minute so he can bring the carup. In a panic, Teri begs him not to leave, even for a minute. When Jack says he'll be right back, Teri tells him every bad thing that has happened tothem has happened because they split up. Like a slasher movie. Since she refuses to let him go, Rick thinks maybe they can hang out here while he triesto steal one of the red vans. After all, Gaines doesn't know he's turned a traitor. And if it doesn't work, his getting stopped can create a diversionso the three can make it to the car. Since Teri and Kimberly trust Rick, and Jack knows it's a good plan, he's about to agree when Gaines pages Rick overhis walkie-talkie. Jack points his gun on him again and orders him to answer it. Gaines asks where Eli is. Rick replies that he's out back digging a grave.Gaines demands he get him this instant, 10-4. Jack tells Rick he has five minutes to get the van. What will happen after the five minutes are up, he doesn'tsay.11:39 A.M.-11:42 A.M.: Neill stops to take a leak when he spots Kevin's car parked on site. He has to hold it in while he cocks his rifle and checks whythe car is there. When he gets to the car, he finds Kevin sitting in the front seat unconscious with a seat belt tied around his face. Rick walks overto the vans and tries to time it right so he can swipe one without arousing suspicion. Unfortunately, as soon as he snags one and starts up the ignition,who should show up outside but Gaines. Rick rolls down the window for him, and is asked what he's doing. Rick says he's taking the van. Gaines says hecan see that; what's he taking it for? Rick is not the greatest liar in the world, and tells him he's taking it to help Eli load up the women. Luckilyfor Rick and the Bauers, his fishy story doesn't have much time to sink in with Gaines as Neill pages him on the walkie-talkie to say he found Kevin outcold in his car. Neill tells him where they are. Gaines says he'll be right there, then tells Rick to drive. Rick hides a rifle on the driver's side beforeGaines gets in.11:42 A.M.-11:46 A.M.: Mike warns Palmer to be careful what he says to Ferragamo. When they get to his office, they find the building on fire and the streetpacked with ambulances and fire trucks. Palmer starts to get out to ask what happened, but Mike orders him to stay in the limo while he does it. A coptells Mike that it was a possible gas explosion. Palmer disboeys Mike's order and gets out anyway to assess the damage. Mike tells him Ferragamo didn'tget out in time. Palmer angrily realizes Carl's men torched his office and surely destroyed his records. Mike doesn't want to jump to conclusions, andsays that it could have been an accident. When Mike figures out that Palmer plans to go public with this, he stresses that even if he's right, this isn'tthe right way to tackle it. Tony's time is up. Green returns to his holding room to see what choice he has made. After a few seconds of silence, an assistantenters the room to tell Green that she has a phone call. From Jack. Jack tells her that if she wants to do his job, she had better listen to him. MissHigh and Mighty replies that she doesn't take orders from him. He just talks over her by explaining that he's located the people behind the hit and hasbeen reunited with his family, whom they had kidnapped. He says he hasn't spoken to anyone at CTU because he couldn't risk putting his family in jeopardy,and she has to believe him. Green states it isn't her job to believe him, it's her job to find him. So he gives her his location so she can do just that.He tells her to bring in air support, says he'll get back in touch, and hangs up. Green calls Central Dispatch, and requests that they find out where Teriand Kimberly have been for the last six hours.11:46 A.M.-11:48 A.M.: It's been more than five minutes, as Jack sees when he checks his watch. After they all wonder what's holding Rick up, Jack decidesto use the time to make amends with his family. He promises Teri things won't be like they were before.11:52 A.M.-11:54 A.M.: Green tells Dispatch over the phone that she wants two choppers sent. Tony and Nina have been let out of the holding cells. Greentells them that Jack called and told her where he is, so they're flying some commandos in to pick him up. Tony asks her which one of them is she goingto suspend. She says neither of them, since she doesn't have actionable evidence that they withheld information from her. But she plans to keep looking.Once Green is gone, Nina relays her plans to monitor the field units Dispatch sends. She asks Tony if he's okay. He says Green worked him pretty hard,and if Jack hadn't called when he did... Nina thanks him for putting himself on the line for her, and promises she won't forget what he did. Perhaps Jackisn't the only one in CTU that Nina is going to be riding the hobby horse with. Gaines and Neill have dragged Kevin's body out of his car. Gaines splashessome water on his face to wake him up, while Rick stands by idly. When Kevin comes to and immediately announces that Jack is here and he killed Cofell,Rick quietly slips back into the van and speeds off. Now that he knows Rick is up to no good, Gaines gets on the walkie-talkie to tell the others to sealthe gates, because Jack is on site.11:54 A.M.-12:00 Noon: Jack can't wait any longer and is about to go to Plan B when Rick backs up with the van. Rick opens the doors and the Bauers rushinside, where they are warned that Gaines found Kevin and knows Jack is here. Jack says he'll drive. The instant they leave the area, Gaines, Neill andKevin pull up and storm the shed. Gaines uncovers Eli's body, and the trio get back in the car to find Jack. After engineering some fancy driving rightpast a checkpoint, Jack orders everyone to get down as the thugs open fire on the van. Bullets fly right through the vehicle, but manage to miss everyone.After Jack drives through a chain link fence, Gaines, Neill and Kevin spot the van. They shoot the back windows out, then Gaines punctures one of the fronttires, leaving Rick and the Bauers no choice but to ditch the van. Jack makes everyone hide behind the wheels, as Gaines and the others continue to openfire on them. Jack returns fire, then throws the palm pilot to Teri and tells her to take Kimberly and go through the woods to an abandoned water towerlocated near the service road. He'll make sure CTU picks them up there. Since there's too many thugs for Teri and Kimberly to make a run for it, Rick grabsthe rifle he brought and says he'll help. Teri still doesn't want to split up, but through Jack's pleading, finally realizes it's for the best, and thetwo of them escape into the woods. Jack gets another idea, pulls out his knife, and punctures holes in the gas tank, spilling gasoline around the van.He shouts at Rick to run towards the trees in the distance, but on the way over, Rick gets shot in the arm. Jack jumps on top of Rick to make sure he staysdown (like he's about to get up after being shot) and, just as a number of thugs have come up to it, shoots a few rounds at the van until it explodes.The explosion wipes out a bunch of the henchmen, but only knocks Gaines, Neill and Kevin down. Having bought some extra time, Jack helps Rick up and intothe woods. But they don't get very far before Rick falls down. Jack refuses to leave him behind, and goes back to save him, claiming he'll be able to stopthe bleeding as they soon as they get out of the woods. With Jack as his prop, Rick is led through the trees, while Gaines and the others follow in hotpursuit. Tick, tick, tick...
