Dana is being tortured and Jack and Ortiz go get her. Jack kills four of the men that are guarding her before they escape. Jack threatens to kill Dana for the information he needs and she tells him that it's in a safety deposit box at the bank.
One of the CTU agents that tried to apprehend Jack last episode calls Chloe and says that Jack is loose. Logan finds out about this and convinces President Taylor to send one of his buddies over to CTU to take over Jack's capture. He upgrades Jack to a "level 8", so now he can be shot. The Russians are working with Logan now too, and will eventually send someone out to kill Jack Bauer.
Jack waits in the bank lobby while Ortiz and Dana get the safety deposit box. Ortiz opens the box and a flash bomb goes off, and Dana knocks him out. Dana grabs the data from the safety deposit box, shoots a bank employee (which was funny, because he happened to be a friend of Cole's) and then calls 911 to tell them that Jack is there. The police come to arrest Jack and Dana makes a run for it.
Jack manages to take down the cops and chases after Dana. She randomly shoots a pedestrian and runs into a building. Jack corners her and she hands over the data. Jack points a gun at her and she pleads, "Jack, what can I do?" Jack says, "Nothing!" and shoots her dead. 3 1/2 months ago I was begging for her to die. This was way back when all she was was a CTU computer analyst. I didn't know that she was a small-time criminal, and I didn't know that she'd evolve into a mole for Johan, and I didn't know that she'd further evolve into the big criminal mastermind for the Russians. I just hated her from the very beginning, and I wanted her dead.
And now she is, so hooray. I would've been happier right now if the show hadn't been completely ruined when they killed Renee. So now Jack needs to go public with the information without being killed by the police, CTU, or the Russians, and he'll kill a bunch of people that are somehow responsible for Renee's death. I halfway expect Tony Almeida to show up and either help Jack, or show up because he's the main bad guy. It probably won't happen, but it wouldn't surprise me or thrill me either way. Jack's not getting a happy ending. I don't think he'll even go to California to live with Kim. He'll probably save the day and then get shot.
But chin up, everyone! There's actually a kill count today. Death tally:
Jack: 5 kills (4 men torturing Dana, then Dana)
Bad guys: 2 kills (Dana killed bank employee and random civilian)
92 deaths for the season. Jack has 27 kills, so he'll for sure average 1 kill/hour this season. Bad guys are up to 52 kills with Dana's contribution today. The projected totals for the season goes back up to 110. 4 more hours to go.
I can't be sure, but I don't think Dana actually shot the random pedestrian. I saw her grab some woman like she was going to take her hostage, but after firing a round back at Jack she sort of pushed her out of the way. Weird.
ReplyDeleteNext week is going to be interesting. Did you see the previews? It think it's time for some revenge torture via blowtorch.
I admit, I was half watching 24 and half paying attention to the Twins game on my laptop. I heard shots and saw a pedestrian go down, so they're dead to me. Anyone who doesn't like how I keep score -BOOM!- they're dead to me too!
ReplyDeleteUpdated kill count:
Ben: +1 (imaginary kill)
Twins: +1 (mudered the Tigers last night)
You were correct, Dana's crappy aim while shooting at Jack leaves one random civilian dead. And the woman she grabbed was a human shield. I forgot people did that.
