Kiefer Sutherland: Jack Bauer Mary Lynn Rajskub: Chloe O’Brian Cherry Jones: President Allison Taylor Annie Wersching: FBI Agent Renee Walker Bob Gunton: Ethan Kanin Jeffrey Nordling: FBI Special Agent in Charge Larry Moss Janeane Garofalo: Janis Gold Carlos Bernard: Tony Almeida Kurtwood Smith: Senator Blaine Mayer Carlo Rota: Morris O’Brian Sprague Grayden: Tim Woods Jon Voight: Jonas Hodges Co-Executive Producer: Juan Carlos Coto Executive Producer: Evan Katz Writer (Series’ Creator): Joel Surnow Writer (Series’ Creator): Robert Cochran Writer: Evan Katz Writer: Juan Carlos Coto Director: Brad Turner

24 7.14 Day 7: 9:00 PM – 10:00 PM (2009) Jack is on the run after being framed for the murder of Ryan Burnett and asks Walker for help in tracking the real assassin. His next lead takes him to Starkwood, a private military conglomerate, and Senator Mayer, who has been trying to shut them down, will be his best source of information. Meanwhile, Olivia Taylor finds some business clothes and starts working for the President, much to Kanin’s chagrin, especially when the news of the Bauer and Burnett situation is leaked to the press. 7/10 So Jack’s predicament goes from bad to worse and, while this is essentially a low-key episode, does so via solid tension when needed and interesting character musings. Jack gets the opportunity to place his trust in someone new. Ethan Kanin jumps to conclusions about Olivia Taylor (though I think he was right and she is manoeuvring him out of the President’s circle of trust). Morris O’Brian gets to choose between family and Jack. Jon Voight gets a surprisingly strong scene where he talks about collateral damage from doing what needs to be done; a speech which is interestingly mirrored later by Bauer himself. We don’t know what Voight wants to accomplish but, given the pace the show has run at so far, giving Jack ten hours to stop him seems rather generous. This 24 episode contains mild swear words and strong melee violence, gun violence, gory and unpleasant scenes. Links Previous episode Next episode
