Season One Episode Guide
Episode Twelve
11:00am - 12:00pm
11:00 A.M. A tied up Kevin Carroll (who'd earlier been posing as Alan York) leads Jack into the North Valley, towards the compound where Teri and Kim are being held.
Alberta Green tells her staff at the Counter Terrorist Unit that finding Jack has become the top priority. Nina lets Jack know that pressure's being put upon her to come clean, but he asks her to deny everything. He needs her to download satellite photos of Gaines’ compound to his handheld device. Nina tells Tony that she'll still keep her communication with Jack hidden from Green, and Tony assures her that he'll cover for her.
11:05 A.M. Teri and Kim hide Eli’s corpse under a metal tub, but when his beeper goes off they realise that the other henchmen are looking for him. Teri takes Eli’s knife and Kim covers up the blood on the ground.
11:08 A.M. As Jack waits outside Gaines compound, Nina pulls up satellite images from the surrounding area. She's worried when she sees a multitude of armed guards there. Before she sends the photos to his handheld device, she tries to persuade Jack to confess the truth to Alberta Green so that they can send him back up. Jack adamantly refuses, explaining that CTU involvement could jeopardise his family’s safety. He makes Carroll drive him onto the compound.
11:09 A.M. Palmer tells his chief of staff, Mike Novick, about Carl’s plan to silence Keith’s therapist, George Ferragamo. Palmer admits his attempt to warn Ferragamo. Novick's furious and thinks Palmer's action could have serious consequences for his campaign.
11:11 A.M. While Jack hides in the back seat with his gun trained, Carroll drives up to the gate. He's allowed entry to the compound. Carroll tries to play mind games with Jack about Teri’s fidelity, but Jack ignores him and jams a gun into the back of Carroll’s head. Carroll points to a building where Teri and Kim may be held, and Jack knocks him out cold.
11:16 A.M. Gaines, meanwhile, has his men empty out his control room. Rick's among them, and Gaines sends him to fetch Eli. Outside, Jack tracks the buildings on his handheld device and hides from the many armed guards.
11:20 A.M. Palmer finally speaks to Ferragamo, but the doctor believes that the Senator's trying to threaten him again. Ferragamo immediately hangs up. Palmer has his driver pull over. Although he's expected to give a speech in an hour, he wants to go to Ferragamo’s office.
11:22 A.M. Teri and Kim are about to leave the shed when they hear someone come in. They wait with weapons ready, but are relieved to find that it's Jack. All three are overcome with emotion.
11:28 A.M. Alberta Green's convinced that Nina and Tony know where Jack is, and she offers them the chance to tell the truth. Neither admits anything. She separates the two with immediate suspension, and threatens their future careers if they don't tell her the truth.
11:30 A.M. Jack puts a chokehold on Rick when he enters the shed. Teri and Kim beg him to let go. Meanwhile, Green interrogates Tony, and accuses him of covering up for Nina. Green believes that Jack's involved in the hit on Palmer, and she wants answers about what he's doing. She threatens to prosecute Tony for impeding an investigation.
11:33 A.M. Jack plans to go to the waiting car, but Teri doesn’t want them to separate. Rick proposes that he use one of Gaines’ vans to help them escape. Kim assures her father that Rick can be trusted, and Jack reluctantly agrees to the plan. Gaines calls on the walkie-talkie, and Rick tells him that Eli's digging a grave for the women.
11:39 A.M. Rick grabs a gun and starts up one of the moving vans. When Gaines questions him, Rick says that Eli asked him to help carry the bodies. Before Gaines can argue, he gets a call that one of his henchmen has found Kevin Carroll unconscious. Gaines orders Rick to drive him there.
11:42 A.M. Novick gives Palmer advice before his meeting with Ferragamo. But when they pull up, fire engines are surrounding the office complex. Novick discovers Ferragamo's been killed in a gas explosion. Palmer heads toward the crime scene, and Novick forcibly stops him. Novick recommends that Palmer’s presence at the building will send the wrong signal, even if it wasn't a murder. They drive away.
11:45 A.M. Green's about to give Tony an ultimatum, but she's interrupted by a phone call from Jack. He says that although he couldn’t risk contacting anyone at CTU, he has uncovered the people behind the Palmer assassination and located the co-ordinates of their hideout.
11:52 A.M. Green notifies Nina and Tony about Jack’s call. Pending further evidence, she retracts their suspension.
11:54 A.M. Gaines revives Carroll, who tells him that Jack is on the premises. Suddenly, Rick drives off in the van. Gaines sees this and orders his men to seal the gates. Rick goes to the shed and picks up Jack, Teri and Kimberly.
Gaines finds Eli dead in the empty shed, and heads to the compound’s entrance. As Jack speeds to the gate, guards shoot at the van, causing it to career to a halt. Jack hides his family behind the van while Gaines and his men fire at them. Jack shoots back, but sends Teri and Kim into the woods with his map.
Rick stays at the van to back up Jack, but gets clipped in the arm. Jack stabs a hole in the gas tank, and he and Rick take off towards the women. When Gaines and his men approach the van, Jack fires at the gas tank and the van explodes. Teri and Kim see the explosion from a distance. Jack helps a weakened Rick run away.
