    2pm - 3pm - Alex

    Our other spanky new recapper is Alex. Now it's his turn to share his stuff - and it's pretty feckin' good too!

    ---------

    In the crazy world of 24, it's now 2pm and I think we should all be very excited, what with everyone spending a week jumping around their houses/street/school/office screaming "It's Tony"!! In a high pitched voice.

    And previously, Dina is shocked that Behrooz killed Tariq, and even more shocked when he tells her that Navi ordered Tariq to kill Behrooz. She confronts Navi and goes to pick Behrooz up but gets shot when she tells him to run, needless to say Behrooz stays with his wounded mother.
    Edgar thinks he can turn off the override and stop 107 nuclear meltdowns, needless to say he doesn't succeed and 6 of the plants can't be stopped, SOD Heller is all like "Tell Jack, he's our only hope." Yeah he is!

    Marianne Mole tells some terrorist guy that Jack and Audrey have gone to look at security footage which will incriminate him, he orders Jack and Audrey to be killed but knows that Marianne will be exposed, she has to divert suspicion.

    At the security place, Audrey spots the bloke from the Terrorist Compound, but bad ass guys with guns come in and ambush them, they manage to save the computer file but Jack realises CTU has been infiltrated and calls the only person he can trust. Just as things are about to get very bad ie. Death, TONY pops up out of nowhere and the happy couple make their escape.

    It's roughly 2:02 and at CTU, Erin wonders if the 6 remaining plants are taking longer to shut down, "No" Curtis says bluntly, ending that line of enquiry, they're screwed. CTU is about to go live with President Keeler to see how he wants to deal with evacuating the cities. SOD re-iterates in what will become a recurring theme that we could have 6 meltdowns, the President has a hard time grasping this, it's pretty obvious John, come on! Some casualty estimates are given, they're not good. I hate these scenes that are there so people who missed it last week can catch up, why are you missing it in the first place?! Keeler is going to evacuate the six cities- Palmer wouldn't have done that; he'd have been too concerned with mass panic- oh how I miss him!

    SOD gets a call from "Marcy" who is really Jack, I think Jack would make a good Marcy; he's in the car with Audrey and Tone and wants SOD to know that they're all right. He tells SOD that there has to be a mole in CTU and wants SOD to make sure no-one knows where they are, and suggests the Melbourne Sequence, whatever that is as a way to flush out the mole.

    Jack makes sure that Audrey is okay and she is, mostly, who cares? No-one is following them Tone says rather abruptly, he looks annoyed, his wife left him and he's considered a traitor to his country, but at least he's not in prison anymore thanks to Jack and Palmer, he explains. At least one good thing then! They're going back to his to use some computer stuff, Jack thanks him for his help, but he's not interested in what's going on…for a few seconds but then changes his mind. Jack explains the situation to him; he couldn't really care less it seems. I like bitter and angry Tony.

    On CTU's big TV screen, Keeler is starting the evacuation process, but that's not important, what is important is that there isn't enough time for a complete evacuation, well duh, at least fifty thousand dead per city. Cripes! Once again we're told that we have to find the people who have the override.

    Speak of the devil, Navi is at Marwan's hideout type thing and is checking everywhere for Dina and Behrooz, but they aren't in any hospitals. Marwan comes over and says that having control of 6 reactors is enough to break the American's will. He looks pissed at Navi for not keeping control of his family, and Navi tells him that his wife and son will be dead by the end of this day.
    Behrooz is in the car with a wounded Dina, he's convinced that he should take Dina to the hospital but she refuses saying that Navi knows she's been shot and will check the hospitals, well whatever happens Behrooz is staying with her and they then decide to go to a hospital. Navi is no longer his father...biology states otherwise.

    Marianne is sneaking off to make another call to mysterious terrorist man, the CTU loos don't look as high tech as the CTU floor, stupid designers. He's confused as to why CTU hasn't heard from Jack after the attack, she's not and knows that Jack knows there must be a mole…she wants out of CTU, he says no because she's got to cover their tracks, she doesn't want to go to jail, but she'll be "taken care of", I like the sound of that. Pretty Sarah bursts in demanding to know why Marianne hasn't sent something somewhere, Marianne tells he she's about to and Sarah is all like "Hurry up, lazy bitch" and storms off. You can almost see the cogs turning in Marianne's head.
    SOD'S assistant joins him in what looks like Erin's office, he explains about the mole and that he's going to leak false information about Jack's whereabouts to Erin's team and monitor any communications that contain the location, this'll involve some sort of COMSAT, but I have no idea what that is.
    It's 2:11pm

    It's 2:16pm- And we must be arriving at Tony's house, watch it, next doors dog likes to use the lawn- who wouldn't? Just let Jack at it with a shotgun, that'll stop him! Tony's doesn't look like I'd expect it to, I don't know how I'd expect it to look, but it wasn't like that. Jack scouts the house for people and finds some slut called Jen who has nothing on Michelle, Jack's not going to let her leave because no-one can know that him and Audrey are there, in the end Audrey shows that she actually has a sense of humour by saying that she could have Jen' boss killed if he busts her for not showing up for work, Jen's all like "Whatever" and Jack shows his sarcastic side by saying "She seems real sweet" HeHe.
    Jack has to convert the security files and Tone has some software, he goes off to find it, giving us a chance to find out some more back story about him. Michelle left him because he started drinking and changed when he got out of prison, he was angry and couldn't get a job and pushed her away. I really miss Michelle, she was hot. But she's Deputy Director at District now which gives me hope that we'll see her at some point. Tone brings the software and they're into the files. Nice scene, some funny moments and good dialogue, more please!

    AT CTU, SOD and assistant bloke start their plan to flush out the mole; everyone's a suspect, even Erin. Assistant Scott tells the briefing team (which happens to include Marianne even though she's only just got there) that Jack spoke to him, and that his whereabouts are to be kept internal.
    Marianne then immediately goes to a desk and gives the location through what appears to be a Dictaphone like device and walks off.

    At the Tony house, Audrey has spotted terrorist man on the surveillance and Jack phones a DC office to route the picture through, but that damned Jen woman is on the phone, Tone springs into action and forces the phone off her, I'm not for domestic abuse but in times of crisis……..Anyway, Marcy in DC answers and immediately gets to work on finding an ID.

    We flip back to CTU and it looks like Marianne's been busted, SOD confirms that they have the information that they need and takes it up to Erin who's pissed she was kept out of the loop, nevertheless she knows now and seems surprised when she reads SOD's document. They go to the floor, where the redshit..I mean redshirt security team come in and they walk straight past Marianne….err guys, she's the mole?! Apparently not because they take Sarah into custody, she's obviously a bit shocked and wants to know what's going on. What's going on honey is that you're under arrest. Remain silent!! Marianne smirks.
    It's 2:25pm

    It's 2:29pm- They're dividing Sarah' files at CTU and sending them to division, Edgar refuses to believe that she's guilty and is going on Hunger Strike to protest. He's not, but Marianne tries to convince him that Sarah was able to fool everybody; Edgar's having none of it and wonders why Sarah would leave the message on the system. Marianne argues that the message was encrypted but Edgar disagrees saying that the encryption used would be a piece of piss to crack, Marianne walks off saying Sarah wasn't the sharpest knife in the draw, bitchy.
    It's Interrogation time! And Erin's going to do it herself, she's learned her lesson after the Sharek incident earlier and is going to do anything it takes to get information from Sarah, she pulls out a gun and shoots her in the leg. Or not. Sarah knows nothing because somebody set her up but Erin brings in torture man and he tazer's the side of her face, she's still not saying anything and is now crying. I think CTU is having a competition to try and use as many different forms of torture in a day. She still knows nothing and Erin walks out into the hidden room where SOD is watching. She thinks that Sarah might be telling the truth, but SOD is adamant about the evidence they have, he's going to brief Jack.

    Jack's still going over the surveillance, Tony comes in and offers everyone a beer, depends what the beer is, but thanks for offering, Audrey accepts, Jack says no, Tone of course says yes and sits down with his cute little mug and turns on some real football. SOD calls telling Jack that they found the mole, Jack doesn't seem arsed but CTU channels will be open again to share data. SOD's sending someone over to pick Audrey up. Jack then switches the TV off much to Tone' chagrin and wants to know why Tone never called him; I think they're going to break up on national TV!! Jack could've helped. Tony' bitterness is too much and Jack gives up. Tone's repaid his debt and wants nothing more to do with what's going on so Jack can leave when he's done. He switches the TV back on; at least he didn't miss any goals.
    It's 2:37pm

    It's 2:41pm- I'd almost forgotten about the Araz family. Behrooz and Dina are at a hospital, the doctor is inquisitive as to where Dina got the wound from, she backed into an old nail is her story and she's sticking to it. He doesn't believe her even when Behrooz backs her up and thinks it's a gunshot wound. He'll stitch her up and he leaves, Behrooz keeps an eye on him, making sure that he hasn't made any phone calls, he hasn't, phew! Behrooz thinks it mightn't be so bad if they go to the police, Dina tells him that if they do then they'll spend the rest of their lives in jail. Err I think not, they're more likely to be executed. If they can get out of the city they can stay somewhere for a few days and then get out of the country. I think that Shoreh Agdashloo is the best thing to happen to 24 in a long time, the range of emotions she brings to the part is amazing, I'm going to be checking out some more of her stuff at some point, a wonderful actress.

    At the happy Tony home, Jack gets a call; they have a match on the surveillance. The terrorist bloke is called Henry Powell and he's scheduled to leave LA on a helicopter in 15 minutes even though air traffic is grounded, he got special clearance. Jack tells them to ground the flight until her can get there, coincidentally enough he's about fifteen minutes away. Secret Service is here and they take Audrey away and also bring Jack a car, I'm going out on a whim and guessing it's a Ford. He calls Erin and the fastest she can get ground backup to the helipad is thirty minutes. No can do as Jack has to go now. Tony's itching to get involved, I can see it. He asks Jack if he could use his help, like Jack would refuse a chance to watch the Tonester kick some ass, he accepts and Tony leaves with him. Poor Jen stands there looking dumb; maybe she thinks that they're going to kill her boss. I hope they avoided the crap on the yard when they left.

    Edgar asks Curtis what they're doing to Sarah, it's none of his business Curtis replies and as Edgar sits down, Marianne wants to know what Edgar wanted, and Curtis blanks her. Edgar can't stop staring at Marianne; she cheated on Joey you know.

    We travel back to the hospital where the doc is giving Dina a jab, Behrooz notices the police are there and they scarper pronto. The doc sold them out!! Whatever happened to patient confidentiality?! They leave in a car with a couple of cop cars half-heartedly following them and Dina looking really weak. It's lucky Behrooz can drive really, though he didn't put his seat belt on.
    It's 2:48pm

    It's 2:52pm- Edgar's doing some hacking and he has that clearance that Marianne wanted, she just needs to pick a new password, which she does after much hassling from Edgar, he waddles back to his desk and keeps an eye on Marianne whilst logging into the sever as her, he then finds the message that Sarah supposedly sent, he should be a field agent! Anyway, Marianne Mole has noticed him and comes over, warning him that she could tell Erin that he helped Chloe help Jack and get him fired. Edgar grows a set and walks away from her, asking Curtis to walk with him to Erin' office, once there he explains that Marianne sent the message and is the mole, he explains how in a way I don't understand and SOD Assistant and Erin look confused, they look out the window and see Marianne running away. The good old CTU alarm goes off and Curtis gives chase. Good choice not to wear heels, Marianne not Curtis. She gets into the car park, but is too slow and Curtis grabs her, orders a CTU stooge to check the car but the car goes BOOM and the force of the explosion causes Marianne to slam her head into a nearby car. I don't think she's dead, if they wanted her dead they would have had the car explode on her. I'm glad they got her, one character I did not like.

    And now we have a name for him, Henry Powell arrives at the helipad, and the helicopter is sure enough waiting for him, but the pilot tells him that he can't fly it because the flight's been grounded. You will fly it Powell tells him especially when he pulls out his gun, ha. They get in the chopper and start the take off procedure, but Jack and Tone arrive and drive over a big ditch. I think that'll be the COOL MOMENT of the episode because it looked good. They order Powell and the pilot out of the chopper to which they comply. Powell offers Bauer money to let him go, Jack ain't motivated by money, bitch. Tony grabs the bag from the chopper. Powell wants to know who they work for to which Tone replies "Actually, I'm unemployed" Great Line.

    So now it appears CTU might almost have things under control for once. They have the right mole now and the guy she's working for, all plays into my theory that there's something bigger than these meltdowns because they were virtually given nothing in the episode, which confuses me. Audrey is back at CTU and they've stopped torturing Sarah which is nice to see a bit of communication going on!
    And we're not done yet because back at the helipad Powell wants to know who they work for to which Tone replies "Actually, I'm unemployed" Great Line. Tone goes to put Powell in the shiny new Ford, but within about half a second a bullet is put through Powell's chest by a handily placed sniper. He's Dead, so maybe things aren't looking up for CTU after all.
    And we end on a nice "DAMMIT" from Jack which in drinking game rules means Finish Your Drinks!!
    It's 3pm
