'24' Day One

Episode Five: The following takes place between 4 am and 5 am.

Jack follows the arrested man to the police station, with a plan to extract more information from him about Kim. Mason, however, catches up on them and takes over the interrogation. The man demands to talk only to Jack Bauer. He strikes a deal with Jack: he tells Jack what he knows if Jack gets him out of prison to proceed as planned. Left with no choice, Jack stages the most kick-ass jail break I've ever come across.

The man receives a call from a payphone in the area where he was earlier arrested. The caller is Ira Gaines, who, by now, has Kim in custody. The man receives additional instructions from Gaines, which lead Jack to a car with a dead body in its trunk.

Mason, once again, catches up on them, moments after the jail break. Jack confides in Mason (leaving out the missing daughter bit) and I guess they're back on a smooth working relationship.

Meanwhile, David Palmer has a talk with Kingsley on the 'rumor' the latter is planning to go public with. Several years ago, Nicole, Palmer's daughter, was raped. The man responsible for it reportedly committed suicide by jumping off a window. Kingsley, however, has sources refuting such reports. The sources indicate that the man was actually murdered, pushed off the window, by none other than Keith, Palmer's son.

Mason: Why were you trying to blackmail me?
Jack: Because you were withholding information vital to the investigation, George.
Mason: I was following orders. I realize it's a concept you may be unfamiliar with Jack, but it's something that some of us actually do take seriously.

(Gaines interrogating Dan about Janet)
Dan: (nervous) The thing is...maybe, she wasn't quite dead.
Gaines: Oh, I tell you Dan, you're either dead or you're not dead. There's no such thing as sort of dead. Here, let me show you.
(pulls out a gun and shoots Dan on the head)
(to Rick) You've just been promoted. Congratulations.
