3pm - 4pm - LittleSiUk
Another fabulous recap from LittleSiUK :) More recaps to come from my other guy :)
These are all really great work!
--------------------------------------
We open with one of my new favourites, Mr. Curtis Manning, bursting into Erin's office and blaming her for allowing Marianne into CTU, to which she quickly reminds him of his affair with her. Rather than compromise either of their authorities in front of division, he suggests they cover up the details of how Marianne got such high security clearance so quickly. Erin agrees, noting that she's not a fan of people holding things over her..
As Curtis takes care of this, Heller struggles to explain to Keeler everything that's happened in the last hour. He then regretfully informs him that an evacuation has already begun around San Gabriel Island's nuclear plant. It could go into a full-scale meltdown by 4...Gulp....
Over to Jack now, who has just pulled Powell's call log off of his cellphone, to discover that of the two numbers he repeatedly called, one of them was Marianne's. They were in cahoots. Not recognising phone number 2, he passes the info onto Erin who puts Edgar on it immediately. He claims that if they can get it to ring 4 times, he can find the location. How technology has advanced over the years eh? Teri and Kim could've done with that kind of trace speed back when they stole Eli's phone in season one! Jack would have found her no problem!
Meanwhile, Navi Araz continues the desperate search for his wife and son, hoping to find them at her sister's house. Sadly all that he gets for his troubles is a half-naked man giving him abuse for bursting in like this. Never mind, a gun to the head shuts him up and he retreats back into the sister's bedroom, right before she begs Navi not to tell her husband. The slut! Disgusted, he leaves to call his cronies, who inform him there's still no word from any of the hospitals....
...and that's because the troublesome Behrooz and Dina have wisely taken refuge in a hotel. Unfortunately though, Dina looks much the worse for wear due to her untreated wound given to her by her husband. Fearing for her life, Behrooz decides to go to his uncle Naseem for help, as he conveniently works in a hospital not far from them. Funny then that they chose not to go to him in the last ep really isn't it? Oh well, off Behrooz trots, telling his mum to hold on. They are briefly interrupted by Dina's ringing phone, but, not recognising the number, they decide to leave it. Wise decision, as happily letting it ring, they inadvertently give Edgar all the time he needs to get their location and relay it to Jack...
Our man Bauer tells Erin to get him some back-up and then heads to his car. Tony nearly chickens out of remaining his partner, but Jack reminds him he has hordes of fans on the internet who would like to see him stay, that and the fact that rather a lot of nuclear reactors are about to meltdown. That in mind, they jump in their vehicle and speed off, whilst the audience waits with baited breath for the two of them to finally have a showdown with the Araz clan. This is going to be sweet...
However, they could already be too late, for Heller is informed just seconds later that they have a meltdown on their hands. Bugger. He and the assembled CTU staff look on helpless as a video transmission is forwarded to them from the control room of the San Gabriel island reactor. It seems everyone there has gone all George Mason and all attempts to contain the radiation have failed. At this news, 24's death count smiles greedily and gets ready to ratchet itself up a few notches...
This is bad news for Edgar it seems, for his own mother lives right in the middle of the evacuation zone! He calls her to tell her to get out of there, but as she is wheel-chair bound and all her neighbours have already left, that doesn't seem like it's going to be happening anytime soon. Full marks to the writer's here for creating such a cool and human character in Edgar, that we can all empathise with, and full marks to Louis Lombardi for playing it perfectly. Poor guy, all he wanted was to be as cool as Chloe in her absence, and now he's going to lose his mum...
Back in the briefing room, things are going from bad to worse for Heller, whose people just can't seem to get a handle on the evacuation operation. People are bumping heads left and right and no-one seems to be expediting the process in the slightest. Enter Audrey, who assures her father she can untangle this mess and get those evacuees out of there. Heller agrees, and in order to provide the perfect cut for the editors, quickly reminds her and the audience that everything is now riding on....guess who.....Jack! And with that, cut to....
Jack Bauer! He and Tony pull up at the motel where Dina is hiding out, and liaise with field agent Lee Castle who takes an instant disliking to Tony. Jack tells him to back off and they make their move on Behrooz's rather sick-looking mum. She tries to take her own life but the field team moves in quickly and Jack secures the gun before she can do herself harm. Suddenly, Lee goes mental, pressing on her wound and demanding the location of the override! Tony pulls him away, knowing full well that the only man allowed to go mental on a suspect is Mr. Bauer. He slams Lee up against the wall, finally getting his own back for all those times Jack has whipped his butt, and orders him to stand down. Castle shouts that Almeida has no right to give him orders, prompting Jack to firmly put him in his place. This woman is willing to die and will not respond to physical interrogation, their only hope of getting her to talk is by getting hold of some leverage...
Another convenient transition later and we're over to Behrooz at his uncle's hospital. He asks for some pain medication, but the man is suspicious and puts a call through to Navi, who claims Behrooz is on drugs. He asks Naseem to keep him there and gets in his car...
Erin calls Jack to alert him of a suspicious phone call found by Homeland Security around 2 hours ago. After the raised threat level, they started flagging suspect calls in the LA area and managed to pick up the one in which Behrooz begs Dina for help having killed Tariq. She plays it for him and Tony, at which point they both realise where Mrs. Araz's gunshot wound came from, and that they've now got the leverage they need...The son.
Jack re-enters the motel and goes into the bathroom, where we are treated to another cool shot of him checking himself out in the mirror a la 9am in season two. We also get a glimpse of the strangely ominous Salazar tattoo on his left arm...
Ready to go, Jack takes a seat next to Dina. He tells her that he knows what happened to her this morning, and that her loyalty to her cause was challenged when she decided she could not let her son become a casualty. He also warns her that Behrooz is now alone, and that unless they find him, he will die. In response, Dina reminds him that, were she to talk, her son would only end up in jail. Jack corrects her. He is confident that as Behrooz is a minor, he could convince the President to grant him a fully binding pardon from all charges. All she has to do in return is help them find the override. However, this offer expires the second another reactor melts down. She doesn't have long...
Making her decision, Dina decides to help the agents, on the condition that she sees the document Jack speaks of first. He heads off to call Keeler...
Still mourning his mother at CTU, Edgar tries to get Audrey to call the National Guard on his behalf and convince them to help her. She eventually agrees, but it is to no avail. In disbelief, Edgar calls his mum for a second time, but she has some rather chilling news for him. Rather than suffer through radiation poisoning, dear old Lucy Stiles has decided to take her own life, which, understandably, isn't very easy for her son to take in. On the verge of tears, she signs off, making sure he knows how much she loves him.....
Edgar is still incredulous, and tries to leave the building, desperate to help his mother, but Erin stops him. She convinces him that he can be of more use here, and finally gets him to stay...
Jack in the mean time, is through to Keeler and convinces him to sign the pardon as agreed. However, the sneaky President that he is, as soon as the call ends, he tells his staff to ensure the document is non-binding...
Back in the motel, Jack shows Dina a printout of the pardon, which is enough to convince her to contact Behrooz and let him know that government agents are on their way to pick him up. He allows this to happen on the condition that she is with them when they arrive. Jack agrees and they head for the hospital where...
...Behrooz tries to leave, but Naseem stops him. He reveals Navi is on the way and Behrooz goes crazy, pushing his uncle off of him and making a run for it. He doesn't get far however, for just around the corner, his father is waiting for him. He coldly shoots Naseem and drags his son into a stairwell, ready to splatter his brains. Before he can, Behrooz blurts out that Dina is with the police and if he dies, she talks. Frustrated, Navi drags him toward the parking garage....
Cue the final heart-pounding act!
Jack and co. arrive in their lovely fords, and are soon informed of a shooting in the hospital. Jack asks where the suspect is now and he is told that he was last seen heading for the parking lot. Giving Tony the location, Jack makes for the stairwell...
He bursts into the garage, just as Navi floors the accelerator, a terrified Behrooz in the passenger seat. Jack opens fire only to be hit by the speeding car, shattering the windshield! He rolls off and shoots out the tyres, sending the vehicle slamming into a wall. Getting up, Jack grunts, shrugs off the fact he was just hit at full speed by a car, and orders Navi to let the boy go. Ignoring him, Mr. Araz drags Behrooz into the basement, as Tony pulls up with the field unit and Dina in tow. She screams out for her son.
Jack informs his men that the basement has no exits for Navi to escape from and that they should seal off the building immediately. He then puts a call through to Driscoll to update her, only to be interrupted by Mrs. Araz. She coldly states that she is loyal to her cause and that if they can't save her son, she is happy to see the reactors melt down!
Jack lifts the phone to his ear to speak to Erin:
“Did you get that?"
3:59:57 3:59:58 3:59:59 4:00:00......
Stay tuned for ep 10 folks!!!!!!
These are all really great work!
