 <title>&quot;24&quot; Returns January 13 - With Tony</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/642634</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/642634&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=120 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/users/1/13839/38_2007/final24_bernard_wall_3DAB92.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;When is that again?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;24&quot; will be starting right back up with a two-night season premiere starting on Sunday January 13 from 8:00-10:00 PM and continuing on Monday January 14 from 9:00-10:00 PM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;And what&#039;s this about Tony?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20070919fox01&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;a Fox press release&lt;/a&gt;, &quot;Day 7&quot; will begin like this: &quot;With CTU dismantled, the show&#039;s setting moves to Washington, DC, where Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) faces trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice. Bauer&#039;s day gets off to a shocking start when former colleague Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard), last seen in &#039;Day 5,&#039; returns after being left for dead by a terrorist conspirator in CTU&#039;s infirmary.&quot; Tony&#039;s back!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Will you be watching?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s a bit of a ways off, but I&#039;m cautiously excited for this next season of &quot;24.&quot; It lost me - along with plenty of other viewers, from what I can tell - this past season, so I&#039;m hoping it can only go up from here.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Why Has &quot;24&quot; Lost Viewers?</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/234536</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/234536&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=88  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/users/1/13839/18_2007/24_2006cast_djr5revB10v3FBf.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Undoubtedly, &lt;a href=&quot;/tag/24+recap&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;24&quot;&lt;/a&gt; has experienced a rapid decline in popularity this season, what with all the repetitive plot lines and its time slot that conflicts with that of &lt;a href=&quot;/tag/heroes+recap&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;Heroes.&quot;&lt;/a&gt; According to a post in the LA Times TV blog Channel Island, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.calendarlive.com/printedition/calendar/cl-et-channel30apr30,0,870672.story?coll=cl-calendar&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;24&quot; will undergo some serious changes&lt;/a&gt; next season, prompting me to wonder if the show&#039;s format of &quot;24 hours in real time&quot; is no longer new and interesting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yet Channel Island writer Scott Collins attributes the show&#039;s decline to something else: the &quot;fading memory&quot; of 9/11. Collins wonders if the initial popularity of &quot;24&quot; was due to its proximity to 9/11, when peoples&#039; fears made the experience of watching the show more real, and therefore more &quot;thrilling.&quot; The drop in popularity, then, can be attributed to the fact that 9/11 is fading from memory. As Collins points out, &quot;Real-life political tension does wonders for creators of thriller fare.&quot;  &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>&quot;24&quot; Recap: Episodes 8 and 9, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/137452</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/137452&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;On this week&#039;s two-hour special night of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fox.com/24/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;24&quot;&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;President Palmer asks Assad to make a speech asking Islamic communities everywhere to help bring down Fayed. Assad is afraid his people will think he has become an American puppet, but President Palmer insists. Tom Lennox and the Vice President see this as the terrorists &quot;winning.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lennox is fed up with the President and asks his man Reed to draft up his resignation letter. Unfortunately, Reed can&#039;t do that because he is a shady guy with his own agenda and needs Tom to stay in the White House so he can go through with his evil plans.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For more info about these afternoon hours, read more&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br class=clear-both /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Morris is tortured into programming the nukes, and Jack saves his life in the nick of time - not to mention everyone else&#039;s by disabling the one suitcase bomb Fayed left behind. The other three suitcase nukes are now programmed and in the hands of Fayed, who is answering to Gredenko.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jack wants to be noble and take full responsibility for Graem&#039;s death.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jack asks his father, Phillip, if he knows anything about Gredenko, and Phillip lies, saying he doesn&#039;t. Graem&#039;s widow Marilyn has a fuzzy memory about where his house is, so Jack takes her with him to find Gredenko. Meanwhile, Phillip offers to take Graem&#039;s son Josh to his house but instead brings him to a hotel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The writers sidestep the sticky issue of making Arab-Americans responsible for the terrorism thusly: Russian Gredenko comments that his country was scared to use nuclear weapons on America during the Cold War, but now he can enact terrorism his way “and the Arabs will take all the blame.&quot; That&#039;s right, blame the Russians; they&#039;re not as controversial.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Morris returns to CTU, broken and ashamed, and Chloe gets annoyed with his surly, post-traumatic attitude and slaps him, which it sort of seems like he got enough of for one day.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Phillip calls Marilyn and tells her that he killed Graem and will kill Josh, too if she leads Jack to Gredenko. Terrified, Marilyn keeps quiet as they pass Gredenko&#039;s house and instead leads Jack to an address Phillip gives her.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jack sees the place is empty, except for a blinking explosive. Milo realizes they are being attacked and hurries Marilyn away in a van. Bad guys shoot out their tires, so Milo explodes the van as he and Marilyn flee the scene. Jack wakes up amid the rubble, calls to his team on the radio, but nobody responds.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

 <title>&quot;24&quot; Recap: Episode 7, 12:00 P.M.-1:00 P.M.</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/129142</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/129142&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Yikes! Jack&#039;s dad is a real heartless bastard! And that James Cromwell looks so gentle and kind, doesn&#039;t he? In this week&#039;s episode of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fox.com/24&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;24,&quot;&lt;/a&gt; Jack&#039;s emotions are really jerked around, and he grapples with his sense of familial duty. Meanwhile, the President mulls Tom Lennox&#039;s plans for homeland security, which threaten to dismantle the Constitution. Check out the highlights from this week&#039;s episode:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;President Palmer is resistant to sign Lennox’s plans, knowing they abuse power and civil liberties. Yet he is swayed by Lennox&#039;s arguments and tells his cabinet to convene and put the plans in effect.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Karen tells Bill Buchanan that she resigned, but she refuses to tell him why.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br class=clear-both /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Handcuffed in the van, Jack&#039;s father Phillip wearily says that everything he ever did was for Jack, and that after Jack left, Graem was all he had. Jack and Phillip arrive at a cement plant and - just before Graem&#039;s men are about to shoot them - Jack and Phillip overtake them and free themselves. They then head back to Graem&#039;s house.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many more riveting highlights, so read more&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;McCarthy tells Fayed he has found someone to program the bomb triggers but warns him that the engineer will have to be &quot;coerced.” The phone call is intercepted by CTU, and Morris gets to work trying to salvage an image of the engineer that McCarthy sent to Fayed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Back at Graem&#039;s house, Jack straps Graem into a chair and starts questioning him about his knowledge of McCarthy. Graem denies knowing anything, and Jack begins torturing his brother, screaming at him to tell him what he knows. Graem continues to say he knows nothing, though finally admits that he was responsible for the assassinations of David Palmer, Tony Almeida, and Michelle Dessler. He also admits that he&#039;d tried to have Jack killed before. Jack believes that Graem doesn&#039;t know anything about McCarthy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At CTU, Morris is told that his brother was harmed in the bombing in Valencia and is in critical condition. He leaves for the hospital, and the photo image of the engineer comes up on the screen: it&#039;s Morris. Just as CTU calls Morris to tell him that he is the engineer McCarthy is bringing to Fayed, McCarthy takes Morris into his car at gunpoint.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sandra Palmer tells her brother everything that went on with Walid at the detention center. President Palmer sees how things can get out of hand if civil liberties are taken away. The Vice President, who is in agreement with Tom Lennox&#039;s plan, is patched into the cabinet meeting. The President, however, surprises them by saying that he is rejecting Tom&#039;s plan once more. The Vice President asks him to listen to other peoples&#039; ideas, but President Palmer says the discussion is closed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drained from all the emotional torturing of his brother, Jack sits with his father and they have a tired heart-to-heart. His father asks for some time alone, and Jack leaves. Phillip then goes into the room with Graem, who proudly says he never told Jack about Phillip&#039;s involvement in the plot while being tortured. Phillip, not confident that Graem can stay closed-mouthed for long, injects Graem with a full dose of hyocine-pentothal. Graem convulses as Phillip stares into his son&#039;s eyes and then Graem’s body goes limp. Phillip kisses him on the head before calling frantically to the CTU agents that his son has had a seizure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

 <title>&quot;24&quot; Recap: 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M.</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/122112</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/122112&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this week&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fox.com/24&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;24,&quot;&lt;/a&gt; we get an inside look at some of the Bauer family dynamics, while Walid is revealed to be a mole at the detention facility. Read on for my highlights from the sixth hour of this season&#039;s &quot;24&quot; and tell me what you thought of last night&#039;s episode.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Karen Hayes calls Tom Lennox on his sneaky practices, such as employing racial profiling tactics without presidential consent. Tom decides that Karen is going to get in his way too much, so he blackmails her into resigning. He says he knows that Karen&#039;s new hubby, Bill Buchanan, previously had terrorist Fayed in the government&#039;s possession but let him go. In the end, Karen asks the President to be reassigned.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jack bullies his brother Graem into admitting that Darren McCarthy stole nukes from the company that Graem runs with their father, Phillip; McCarthy then sold those nukes to terrorists. Phillip has a security team staking out McCarthy in Simi Valley, so Jack unties Graem and the two set off to find their dad.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lots more action, so read more&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Back at CTU, Nadia is being denied access to normal operations, as she is under scrutiny for being of Middle Eastern descent. Outraged, Milo illegally signs her in with his ID so she can resume her normal work.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At the detention center, Walid finds out that one of the detainees, Heydar, smuggled in his cell phone, and the FBI man wants access to the SIM card. Walid notices Heydar checking a message and pretends to fall down in front of him. When Heydar helps him up, Walid pockets the phone. The FBI man instructs Walid to dial a particular number using the phone so they can trace it, and Chloe manages to log the phone&#039;s SIM card.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jack sees his father again and chastises him for not handing over all his information about McCarthy and the nukes. Phillip claims he wanted to spare Graem from going to prison, and ultimately decides to do it Jack&#039;s way and tell the government everything they know.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;McCarthy and his girlfriend Rita check into a motel, hoping to avoid being found.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chloe discovers that the cell phone&#039;s SIM card has no numbers that connect to Fayed, and determines that the detainees are not directly involved in the bombings. She orders Walid out of the detention center, but before he can leave, Heydar realizes that his phone is missing. The other detainees find the phone on Walid and start attacking him until a guard pulls them off.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Graem isn&#039;t satisfied with his father&#039;s decision to reveal their information to CTU, so he has his cronies hold his father and Jack at gunpoint. He takes Jack&#039;s phone so he can&#039;t call CTU, and the episode ends with Graem&#039;s men loading Jack and Phillip into a van.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Jack&#039;s brother Graem is clearly a shady character, but exactly how evil he is remains to be seen.

 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/115667&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;At the beginning, of this week&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fox.com/24/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;24&quot;&lt;/a&gt; we&#039;re reminded that a nuclear bomb has gone off in Valencia, a suburb of Los Angeles. Tom Lennox reports that there have been no less than 12,000 casualties thus far. Four more tactical weapons remain, and the government has no idea where they are. Civilian air traffic has been shut down. The Secret Service move the president down to a bunker, and the President says he wants to deliver a televised speech to the public within the hour. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fayed calls McCarthy, the man who sold him the weapons. Fayed says the bomb blew up before it reached its target and offers to pay McCarthy double if he can find someone who can make sure the triggers work on the remaining four weapons. Later, in the car with his whiny girlfriend, McCarthy tells Fayed he can find someone, and to have his money ready. Fayed then instructs one of his men to &quot;tell these men these bombs will go off as scheduled, today.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, people in the suburbs are panicking. Jack saves a man from a crashed helicopter and then calls Bill Buchanan and says he wants back in. To find out what happens next, read more&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The Admiral, a member of President Palmer&#039;s team, wants to strike multiple countries suspected of being involved in the attacks, saying, &quot;These people want to live in the stone age, let’s put them there.” President Palmer disagrees, wishing to target only the enemy. Tom suggests using the bomb to make people get on board for the detention centers, deportation, and other extreme “national security” measures. The President refuses, wanting the speech to have a calming effect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Assad arrives at CTU and meets Bill Buchanan, who refuses to shake his hand. Assad keeps saying that he came to U.S. to enact peace and knew nothing of nukes. He does name the source of the bomb:  Dmitri Gredenko. Morris finds a list of people in L.A. who had contact with Gredenko on business channels, and one is Phillip Bauer, Jack’s father. Bill informs Jack of everything, and Jack says he’ll find his dad and talk to him. When he calls his father’s house, however, Sam the house servant says Jack’s father left the day before without saying where he was going. Apparently, even Jack&#039;s brother Graem doesn&#039;t know where he went. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Liddy, the head of security at the Bauer mansion, overhears Sam’s conversation with Jack and calls Graem. Graem says they should have killed Jack when they had the chance instead of handing him over to the Chinese. Jack then calls Graem, who claims not to know where their father is. Graem goes back to his house and tells his wife Marilyn that Jack is back. (Anyone notice she&#039;s the same woman who plays Nathan Petrelli&#039;s wife in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/tag/Heroes&quot; &gt;&quot;Heroes&quot;&lt;/a&gt;?) Graem then accuses Marilyn of still harboring feelings for Jack.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nadia believes that Assad wants peace. Bill tells Assad they have arranged to take him to Washington DC via military jet and they shake hands. (Tell me: Do you think &lt;a href=&quot;/107051&quot; &gt;Assad can be trusted?&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At Walid’s detention center, the FBI men come in again, this time to put a wire on Walid. Sandra objects, saying he’s not trained for it, but FBI guys ignore her. The FBI men approach Walid and haul him into the bathroom to put the wire on and make the other detainees think that he&#039;s not with the FBI. One of the men who was overheard talking about the four other bombs goes over to Walid and asks him questions. Walid lies, saying he was going to set up a meeting with Abu Fayed but his efforts were thwarted. The man denies knowing Fayed, but invites Walid to join his group of suspicious characters. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jack goes to Graem’s house and meets Josh, Graham’s teenage son. In a private room, Jack tells Graem about their dad’s relationship with Gredenko, and Graem claims not to know anything yet again. Jack punches his brother, ties him to a chair, and then smothers him with a plastic bag.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, the President begins his speech to the American public. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Monday night&#039;s two-hour episode of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fox.com/24/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;24,&quot;&lt;/a&gt; we learned some specifics about how evil Assad has been in the past. Yet the Ambassador says Assad is peaceful now and can therefore be trusted. What do you think? Is Assad...&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>&quot;24&quot; Recap: Season Premiere, Part II</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/109312</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/109312&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;On &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fox.com/24/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;“24,”&lt;/a&gt; the third and fourth hours of Day 6 are tense and shocking! Just when I was getting used to the pace of the show, Monday night’s ending rapidly accelerated the story line. Not that I’m complaining, because it’s very exciting. (In case you missed it, check out my recap of &lt;a href=&quot;/107654&quot; &gt;Part I of the season premiere.&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;As the third hour begins, Jack and Assad are following the suicide bomber’s handler, Masheer, while CTU scrambles to track their location. Assad and Jack take separate cars and Jack crashes into Masheer, totaling his car. Assad pulls up behind the “accident” and offers to give Masheer a ride. When Masheer’s not looking, Assad calls Jack and secretly keeps the phone on, so Jack can patch him through to CTU and Assad can convey, through conversation, clues about his whereabouts. When Assad drops off Masheer, CTU sends in a team, and Masheer chooses to detonate a hand grenade, killing himself and destroying much of his laptop. Still, Jack and the team manage to search the computer’s hard drive. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amidst this physical drama, Curtis can’t seem to get past Assad as a known, ruthless terrorist. Jack suspects Curtis has some kind of a past with Assad and asks Chloe to investigate. To find out what happens, read more&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Back in the Oval Office, Fayed has offered President Palmer a new bargain: Fayed will cease his attacks on the U.S. if the President agrees to release 110 terrorists from a detention facility, and the President ultimately agrees. As the detainees line up and board buses, one sketchy prison guard gets on an empty bus and drives away. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the remnants of Masheer&#039;s hard drive, CTU discovers information in Arabic and Russian about “suitcase nukes,” nuclear weapons developed by the Soviet Union in the 1980s. All but one were destroyed years ago, and the remaining nuke was obtained by a nuclear scientist, Namir, who also happens to be one of the terrorists being released from the detention facility. Assad figures out that Fayed already has the suitcase nuke in his possession; he only needs Namir to reprogram the trigger. Assad points out, “The bombings were designed so your government would free this man,” to which Jack responds, “Son of a bitch!” In the next scene, the sketchy prison guard goes to the back of his bus and opens a door to reveal a crouching Namir. The guard tells him to go, that Fayed is waiting for him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Meanwhile, Ahmed has taken the Wallace family - including the teenage Scott and his parents, Ray and Jillian - hostage. Having badly injured his leg, Ahmed is unable to deliver “the package” to Fayed, so he forces Ray to deliver it for him. Ahmed tells Ray that if anything goes wrong, or if he calls the police, his wife and son will die. Ray goes to the designated place and hands a box full of money over to a man who then demands more money. Ray, unable to get more money, asks the man if he can see “the item” to make sure he has it. When the man shows him the component, Ray kills the man and flees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He then calls Ahmed and demands Ahmed release his wife and son, saying that if he doesn’t, he won’t bring the component to Fayed. Ahmed agrees only to releasing Jillian, who promptly calls the police when she gets into her car. She speaks with Jack Bauer himself, and he and his team head over to the GN’s house. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having met with a highly respected Ambassador who knows Assad and his history, the President feels assured that Assad is in the U.S. to seek peace. He offers Assad full pardon if he will help the U.S. find and destroy Fayed. Assad says he will need the offer in writing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Back at CTU, there’s some more bickering between Milo and Morris, and Chloe thinks it’s because there’s jealousy there: She used to date Milo and now she’s with Morris. At the same time, she and Nadia have their own catty power struggle going on. Anyone else think Chloe sounds like Napoleon Dynamite sometimes? When Nadia suggests something, Chloe says, “Like I’m already doing?” I half-expected her to follow with an exasperated “God!” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While in the detainment center, Sandra Palmer&#039;s boyfriend Walid has a new buddy who makes this ominous comment: “By the end of the day, they will pay.” Hearing the man speaking Arabic with another detainee, Walid notices that they repeat one phrase in particular, and he tells Sandra to find out what it means. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ray has successfully delivered the component to Fayed, and his men take him hostage. Ray begs Fayed to call Ahmed and release his son, so Fayed calls Ahmed but tells him that the boy knows too much, and he needs to kill him. Fortunately, Jack, Curtis, and company bust in and take control. Jack shoots Ahmed and Scott tells everyone Fayed’s address, which he overheard Ahmed tell Ray on the phone. A squad moves out toward Fayed’s location, and the written offer for Assad’s pardon arrives at the house. Jack receives a phone call from Chloe, who tells him that when Curtis was in the army just after Desert Storm, Assad’s men ambushed Curtis’ squad, injuring Curtis. The next day, Assad sent a video of the soldiers begging for their lives before Assad personally beheaded them. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Jack runs outside to find Curtis holding a gun to Assad’s face. Jack, raising his gun, pleads with Curtis not to “do this,” and Curtis says he “can’t let this animal live.” The two have a tense standoff before Jack shoots Curtis in the throat! Now, “24” asks a lot of me – both time-wise and with the suspension of disbelief. This was a trying moment. Why on earth couldn’t Jack have hit Curtis &lt;b&gt;anywhere&lt;/b&gt; else but the throat? The leg? His bulletproof vest, perhaps? Anyway, Curtis goes down and Jack freaks out: throws up, cries, talks to Bill Buchanan about how he just can’t do this anymore, etc. In that moment, the government team goes in shooting Fayed and his men. Namir, having sufficiently wired the nuke, detonates it, and a mushroom cloud appears. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the team at CTU watches the explosion on the news, Nadia translates the Arabic phrase overheard by Walid, which basically works out to “Five visitors,” with “visitors” being code for “weapons.” Thus, Bill Buchanan rapidly determines, there are four more suitcase nukes out there, and they have to find them.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>&quot;24&quot; Recap: Season Premiere, Part I</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/107654</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/107654&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;In the two-hour season premiere of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fox.com/24/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;“24,”&lt;/a&gt; suicide bombers have been terrorizing the U.S., and the president is struggling to figure out what to do. The president for the past two years has been Wayne Palmer, brother to former President David Palmer, who was assassinated in the shocking Season 5 opener. According to government research, a man named Hamir Al-Assad is responsible for the terrorist attacks, and this is where our hero Jack Bauer comes in. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jack has been in a Chinese prison for 20 months, tortured and beaten. President Palmer negotiates for his release, because Jack is the only bargaining piece the government has to use in finding Assad’s whereabouts. Another known terrorist, Abu Fayed, has promised to disclose Assad’s location if the U.S. will hand over Jack Bauer. Apparently, Jack had tortured and killed Fayed’s brother years ago, and Fayed wants revenge. So basically, President Palmer negotiates Jack’s release from the Chinese prison so he can send Jack off to be tortured and killed by Fayed. In return, the President will find and kill Assad, thus ending the terrorism. But that&#039;s only the beginning, so read more&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jack returns to the U.S. looking haggard, twitchy, and shaken. In many ways, the arrangement is fine by him, as he points out, he didn’t want to “die for nothing” in the Chinese prison. Bill Buchanan and Curtis Manning drop Jack off at Fayed’s meeting point, and with a squeeze of Jack’s shoulder, Bill leaves Jack handcuffed to a building, awaiting his executioners. Fayed arrives with his cronies and tells Jack he’s waited a long time for this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Meanwhile, back in President Palmer’s camp, there is a new presidential advisor in town, Tom Lennox (the great Peter MacNichol). In the nationwide search for Assad, Tom has called for the imprisonment of Muslim Americans in general, sending them off to what Karen (who is now Bill Buchanan’s wife?!) calls “concentration camps.” Tom, delivering the tag line for probably the entire season, insists “security has a price.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tom isn’t making any friends with his tactics. Sister to the late David Palmer and the current President, Sandra Palmer is a lawyer now working for the Islamic-American Alliance, and apparently romantically involved with the Alliance’s leader, Walid Al-Rezani. When the FBI arrives to search the IAA’s personnel files, Sandra calls her brother, the President, and then swiftly erases the files from the database, supposedly to protect the employees’ privacy. When complaining to her brother, Sandra acknowledges that the search warrant is Tom Lennox’s doing and claims Tom “treats the Constitution like a list of suggestions.” She reminds Wayne that while David was alive, he never liked or trusted Tom. Still, Sandra is arrested for having deleted the files, and her boyfriend Walid is taken in as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The CTU, in a move that seems stupid, even for TV government agencies, has given Fayed access to all of their radio and satellite surveillance, so Fayed can make sure the government is not planning any sneaky attacks during or after the Jack exchange. Yet Chloe’s obnoxious boyfriend Morris has access to a private satellite and manages to get a picture of Jack and Fayed’s location, though not before Fayed’s men detect the satellite activity. He says he’ll have to think about keeping up his end of the bargain with revealing Assad’s location, and thus Chloe and Morris may have “sacrificed Jack for nothing.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fayed, meanwhile, gets started on torturing Jack, and there emerges the great revelation: Assad has come to the U.S. to stop the terrorist attacks, which were not Assad’s doing but Fayed’s! This means that when Fayed gives CTU Assad’s location, the government will then go and strike an innocent man, and Fayed’s terrorist attacks will simply continue. Fayed tells Jack, “You will die for nothing.” This causes Jack’s old CTU mojo to kick in again. As Fayed leaves the room to make a phone call (convenient, that), Jack pretends to be dead so the guard will come over to investigate. When the man leans down, Jack disgustingly bites into his neck and rips off a chunk of his throat. Ewwwwww! He then uses the man’s keys to escape and drives to Assad’s house to save him. But first, the obligatory phone call with CTU and the President, in which he tells them to stop the air strike on Assad’s house, and, as usual, they disregard Jack’s advice, this time because he has been in a Chinese prison for nearly two years. So, it’s Jack’s responsibility to save Assad himself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Elsewhere in this tangled web we are introduced to Ahmed, a young Arab-American who initially seems like an innocent victim of the FBI’s racial profiling when government agents arrest his father. His narrow-minded neighbor think this means Ahmed is a terrorist, and tries to beat him up, but his nice-guy neighbors, a dad and his teenage son, come to his rescue, and tell Ahmed to stay with them. Later, however, Ahmed is on the phone with Fayed, frantic because his father really is innocent and knows nothing of whatever plan Ahmed and Fayed have. Ahmed returns to his house, where the mean neighbor again comes by. After a scuffle, Ahmed takes out a gun and shoots the mean neighbor. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jack busts into Assad’s house and explains everything, helping Assad to realize that one of his own men must have been helping Fayed and betraying him. Assad figures out which of his men is the mole, and the men flee the house just before the government bombs it. Finding an abandoned house, Assad and Jack interrogate the mole to find out Fayed’s plans. Jack tries torturing the man but stops. Assad, however, thinks there’s still some info left to squeeze out, continues to torture and then kill the mole. Jack, watching from the doorway, says, “I don’t know how to do this anymore.” Assad assures him, “You’ll remember.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two set out to find the next suicide bomber, according to the information given up by the mole. They identify the man with the bomb on a subway platform. Jack boards the subway with the bomber, ultimately shoving him out the back of the subway just as he detonates the bomb. The explosion recedes behind the subway and nobody is hurt. Having saved everyone for the moment, Jack flees the subway car. One of Fayed’s men calls to inform him that the bomb did not go off in the designated location, and Fayed says it’s okay since his other attacks went off without a hitch. The CTU, intercepting that cell phone call, now have evidence that Jack was right all along about Fayed being behind the attacks, and that they were wrong to have bombed Assad’s house. President Palmer has another moment of agonizing self-doubt, and says the statement most laughably obvious for “24”: “This is going to get much worse.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tune in tonight for the next two hours of “24”! Until then, check out the &lt;a href=&quot;http://teamsugar.com/group/37539&quot; &gt;Kiefer Knows Jack&lt;/a&gt; group to discuss.&lt;/p&gt;
