Reviewer: J
Okay, wait just a frickin’ minute here. So much was revealed in this hour and so much more was hinted at that it’s hard to even keep up. I don’t even know where to begin. And I had the sad thought that maybe 24 is heading to where I chide other shows (like Lost) for going, and that is to a place where they just do anything and assume the audience will accept it blindly. There was a bit going on here that I just do not think I’m okay with so let’s get into it.
We start off knowing that Wayne isn’t stupid and that he knows Tom Lennox had something to do with Karen Hayes’ sudden departure. Tom, of course, plays dumb and even admits that maybe it had something to do with the executive order he asked the Prez to look at earlier that day and is now re-submitting. An executive order to, presumably, remove the rights of anyone not a member of Tom’s country club. And let me just commend Tom here for having the onions to present a plan wherein rights are restricted based on the color of citizens’ skin to a black President.
Oh, and if it wasn’t obvious to you that Wayne was going to shoot Tom’s plan right the hell down in front of everyone, well, then you don’t know the Palmer brothers too well. I did like how what happened to Walid and the boys in the yard is what spurred Wayne on, reminding him of what happens when you start imprisoning people based on their religion or color. Nice test balloon, Tom.
We also were introduced this hour to the Vice President, played by Powers Boothe. When I saw his name in the credits, I thought, “Wow, who is Powers Boothe going to be?” And I never thought he’d be the VP. And what is it with the Palmer brothers nominating shifty white guys to be their running mates? I mean, I guess it helps sew up the vote if you’ve somehow got both the black and white vote in America, but it already looks like Noah Daniels (the VP’s name) is a bit shiftier than Jim Prescott. I actually liked Prescott because there was no doubt he was doing what he felt was right and he had principles. As you’ll recall, he had David Palmer temporarily removed from power in Season Two and initiated a strike against nations in the middle east that he – and others – felt were responsible for the nuke in that season. But when evidence was presented that showed that intel was wrong, Prescott called off the raid and tendered his resignation to Palmer who, magnanimously, refused to accept it. I somehow don’t see VP Daniels going that route. He seems pissy about Wayne being the President to begin with, openly questioning Wayne’s lack of stones to Tom. Oh, and hey, what the hell is the Vice President doing flying around while terrorists have nukes? Is this intentional in case DC is vaporized?
Another twist in the episode was that this shifty Aussie, Darren McCarthy located someone for Abu Fayed to use to trigger the remaining nukes. I found it oddly amusing how Fayed’s kind of just cooling his heels this hour waiting for his new engineer. No split-screen intro, few lines… take it easy this week, Abu.
Anyway, CTU shows some competency and intercepts their cell phone call which is mighty fortuitous given all the likely cell phone traffic going on in LA at this particular moment. Once they learn the info has been texted and emailed to Fayed, they somehow intercept some of the data and set about deciphering the photo and CV of this new, likely unwilling, engineer. More on that later.
Soon after, the crew at CTU learn that Morris’ brother is in the hospital with radiation poisoning. It takes all of Chloe’s smoothness to keep Morris at his post and continuing to work on the decoding of the new engineer’s info. Morris is all teary-eyed but toughens up and agrees to get back to work on this in the name of saving more lives. Good guy, that Morris. A hell of a computer whiz.
Eventually Morris uses some illegal software to help decode the picture and CV of this engineer that Fayed is soon to put the screws to. And wasn’t that creepy when Fayed said “He’ll cooperate”? He didn’t even need to finish the sentence with “…or I’ll remove his fingernails one-by-one,” because we knew it was something like that.
Of course, we should have caught on that something was up when Morris replied to the news about his brother by acting surprised that he was up in Valencia at all but I know I for one didn’t pick up on it. Naturally, Morris says that now he must leave since his program is working and he has to go check in on his brother at the hospital. No sooner is he out of the building when the image is finally clear and it is… ta-da! Morris. Ruh-roh, Shaggy.
The CTU gang, patched in with Jack, manage to get Morris on his cell and tell him to turn his ass around, post haste. Morris, of course, takes a second to realize the gravity of the shit he’s potentially about to be in and this is just enough time for McCarthy and his woman to scream up in their fancy-ass car and block Morris’ path and hijack him right out of his own fancy-ass Jaguar convertible. I find it interesting that Morris was driving his convertible with the top down. I mean, I know a canvas top isn’t going to protect you from radiation but I think I might have it up anyway. You never know when the remnants of a civilian might come raining down on you. Or a helicopter.
Much to their horror, CTU hears Morris being jacked over his still-open cell line. It’s really too bad they can’t do something, given that it’s obviously McCarthy who is hijacking Morris (the same McCarthy they’re all looking for to connect them to Fayed) and it’s, you know, a block from the damn CTU building! Somebody get in a chopper or something.
Of course, the biggest reveal of the episode isn’t to us but to Jack from Graem. But let’s back up. As we started the hour, Jack and his pops are being taken somewhere remote for an old-fashioned, Chappellian execution. The two security goons are obviously people the Phillip Bauer knows as he calls them by name as they are marched to their soon-to-be graves. Jack and his dad exchange a look while certainly taking their time. I never understood this whole “get on your knees routine” that always seems to be the delay factor in point-blank executions. Just surprise them with a bullet in the back of the skull and they’ll be on the ground without any backtalk whatsoever. But no, these clowns tell them to get down and Phillip simply says, “No,” and a struggle ensues wherein Jack gets a gun away and kills the black henchman that Phillips is struggling with. No matter how many times I watch that scene, it seems hard to believe Jack’s accuracy was that good. He shoots the henchman struggling with Phillip with a gun that’s still in the first henchman’s hand. I don’t know.
Anyway, Jack ends up on the ground and Phillip puts a bullet whizzing past Jack and into the chest of the white henchman. Bye, henchmen. Jack, of course, is pissed, since he wanted to be the one to not only kill the white henchman, but to torture him good first.
Before long, Jack, Phillip and some suddenly materialized CTU agents (whom I thought CTU ran out of a couple hours ago) have Graem’s pad surrounded. Graem, not being adept at field maneuvers, doesn’t even bother to look outside his house. Maybe it’s because his wife, Marilyn, is yammering at him. Something I imagine she does quite often.
The phalanx of CTU cadre come blasting in and for a minute we have a double-gun standoff between Jack and his brother. It looks like this might be quite a dramatic moment…until Graem surrenders. Well, that was a letdown.
On his way to Graem’s, Jack had requested Agent Burke come along, too. You’ll remember Agent Burke as the torture specialist at CTU who was in charge of torturing Henderson (among others) during the Sentox gas release in CTU last season. Somehow, despite the nerve gas and Henderson’s deadly ways, Burke survived that day and yet has not asked for reassignment to, say, Flagstaff. In fact, how does Jack know Burke is still employed there? Or on duty? Guess it’s not the point.
Jack gets Graem all ready for torturing and is clearly conflicted as he gives Burke instructions to keep pumping the torture juice into Graem’s veins. Graem eventually appears to break and says, “It has nothing to do with McCarthy! It has to do with Palmer!”
“David Palmer?” Jack clarifies.
I wish Graem had replied with: “No, Jack; Robert Palmer, the guy who sang Addicted to Love.”
Graem cops to the Palmer hit, the Almeida hit, the Dessler hit, the Kennedy assassination, fixing the 1988 World Series and any number of other things to make Jack stop. Jack, predictably, goes berserk, pushing back Graem’s chair and threatening to kill him. Graem eggs him on as Burke wonders where his career went wrong. He radios for help because, apparently, Burke doesn’t have a gun of his own. An agent comes in with gun raised and Jack simply barks at him to stand down…and the guy does. Wow, way to stand your ground, Federally-trained defender of freedom.
What does get Jack to stop? A disapproving look from his father. I wonder how many times Phillip had to stare Jack down while Jack was about to kill his own brother. Something tells me this wasn’t the first time. I really wish we could see the childhood these two had.
This all made for a damn good episode but then you could tell something fishy was about to happen. Phillip wasn’t ready to leave yet and said he “needed a minute.” Jack agrees to this but has to leave. Phillip and Jack exchange a tender moment where they both seem to genuinely wish they could have back some of the years they’ve been not speaking. I kind of hoped this would lead us in that direction and maybe we’d see some father-son teamwork. We kind of do, as it turns out, but not the kind I was hoping for. Jack just can’t catch a break. I mean, unless he did get to tap Marilyn’s ass. Then that was a nice break to catch.
After the CTU crew decides it’s almost time to go, Phillip asks Rick Burke for a minute alone with his son. Burke looks like he considers it for a moment and simply can’t possibly fathom what could go wrong and agrees to it. Maybe that’s why Burke’s career hasn’t risen above torture-juice injector. Poor game management decisions.
Phillips closes the door and Graem quietly intones, “Howww’m I doin’?” Wait…WHAT? Phillip is in on this with Graem? Wait, in on what? Graem’s desire to have himself tortured? I’m so confused. And this is where I think this kind of goes off the rails. Sure, all the way back in Season One, you could watch early episodes and see major issues with Nina having turned out to be the mole but we all know that’s because the writing staff didn’t know they were going to do that in the early episodes. This season, one hopes that the writing staff knows what they’re going to do at the end of an episode when the start it but one never knows.
So the failed attempt to kill Phillip and Jack was…a setup? Was the hitman going to kill Jack first and then Phillip would be left alive? I guess that’s possible and then that’s why Phillip killed the henchmen quickly – because he knew they were about to go, “Mr. Bauer! What the fucking fuck!” But still, this is a reach. Why would Graem give up what he gave up? He even makes a comment about how Phillip can eventually get him out. Well, maybe you could get out in a few years for making poor business decisions on a government contract to dispose of nuclear weapons, but I’m not sure you can get time off for good behavior when you engineered the murder of a former U.S. President. Graem also makes a comment abut how “the company lives on.” Man, who says there aren’t good company men anymore? This guy is ready to give his life for his company. And it becomes clear that that’s exactly what the owner of said company is going to expect.
Going back to Burke, not only is he bad at reading a room and figuring out what’s going on, he’s also sloppy. Despite the fact that we see him leave the room with what is ostensibly his torture kit, he’s left a fully-loaded syringe of the torture juice just lying on Graem’s coffee table. Not only that, but Graem’s IV is still fully-functional. All of this is fortuitous for Phillip who uses the syringe to inject Graem and kill him in the same way Tony was killed last season. No silent clock for Graem, either.
As a parting shot and also in a rather believable way, Phillip Bauer threatens CTU over them “killing my son.” Of course, I would think an autopsy might reveal the truth but by then… well, by then Phillip will have…well, I don’t know. What? Realized some brilliant crime conspiracy? I don’t know. I’m just confused. Maybe CTU will find a list of people Fayed has dealt with that includes Jack estranged Uncle Ben and he’ll be able to shed light on things.
Next week we get two hours. Strap in.

The embarassing "brother chapter" of S6 is now closed: in the end,all they wanted to do was just to have another known character killed on screen (rubbish). 7 hours after being freed by months of tortures and detentions,Jack is the same as before...come on 24 writers,why do you have to hurt us so much...
Anonymous #2:
I thought the scene with Jack hugging and comforting his brother while inflicting horrific pain was one of the best of the entire series. To see Jack torn between his inherent love for his brother and hatred at his brother's lies and manipulation gives us another glimpse into the immense suffering Jack subjects himself for love of his country and fellow man.
As Phoencian said at the end of last season, 24 is really about the suffering of Jack Bauer. Plain and simple. The terror plots and such are just a backdrop. I'm compelled to watch each week just to see Jack make the hard choice one more time, to see him sacrifice based on his principles one more time. Jack's a hero not because he saves everyone's life, but because he puts everyone else before himself.
Love reading the reviews J. Miss ya D.
Great Review,J. And congrats on such quick posting!! I was actually getting used to the Review-on-Monday-Before-Watching-the-New Episode timing!
I loved this hour as well, but man, I agree -- Jack gets no break. Also -- Only 24 could make me feel unsatisfied with Graem's death. Grrr!! Love to hate that fact!
When Graem broke about the events of Day V, everything I imagined that Jack was going to do began to happen. First he burst into tears and had to take a seat -- You have to admit, regardless of what you thought about the Jack/Graem relationship, the cruel irony that was their fraternity was just too much for poor Jack. His sudden breakdown and urge to kill him, reminded me of his emotional state at the docks -- you knew he no longer cared for Graem's life.
But then -- oh, and this where the tragedy continues -- Jack is DENIED his vengeance by the appearance of Phil Bauer. Seriously, if it wasn't for the sight of his Dad, Graem probably would have been swiss cheese, with Jack pumping him full of lead and then using his gun to beat the dead body until Burke called in -- oh wait, Burke would have probably fainted by that point.
Speaking of which, Great analysis on Burke, J. He and that CTU Field Op were scared witless by Jack's wrath. And I don't blame them for that. I just wish Burke had come to his senses by the time Phil came over. Again, I wanted that vengeance and that dead body beaten to a pulp.
(If I sound too bloody, remember this: Graem DID sanction the murders of some of my favorite characters, including my FAVORITE of all -- Tony. Aaron's #2.)
I love how Wayne just threw that E.O. 1066 (sounding eerily close to Darth Sidious' E.O. 66 in Star Wars III) in Tom's face. I loved his face -- "Did I just extort the NSA Director out of commission for NOTHING?!"
And I don't know why, but I hated Noah Daniels even more for just FLYING in Air Force One. Which makes me wonder -- What have they done to enure that Terrorists won't be able to pull another "Keeler" on AF1??
I agree Anonymous (the second to post): Jack's tortured scene with Graem was probably the hardest thing to do ever. I remember a video on FOX.com that had asked Sutherland what was more harder to act: The action scenes or the emotional ones. He said that while the action scenes are getting harder JUST because he's not the young man he used to be (Oddly enough), it's still the emotional ones that are hardest to do.
And yes, I've beleived that 24 was as much if not more of a tragedy than it is a triller or a drama since . . . Tony's Death & the Capture of Jack Bauer at the end of Day V. Just that one line by EVIL Cheng Zhi says it all:
"Kill you? You're much to valuable to be killed, Mr. Bauer."
But Day V just made it clear that 24 was a tragedy -- it was a tragedy from the beginning. Just consider Chappelle's Death, Teri's Death, and the fact that his only true happy moment occured in the first half-hour of the first episode and the show never looked back.
Amazing stuff -- Can't wait for the 2 hours next week. (Last year's mid-season 2-hour event led to Edgar's death. I can only imagine what can happen this season.)
I was actually laughing at Sutherland in that scene...he can get any Bruce Willis like role,you can also make him cry a few times...but if you try and go this deep in psychological drama,the actor begins to show his limits. Or not,he is the greatest actor of all times and he could act anything on screen. Show you have some sense of what is ridicule...
