Episode guide
Right now, terrorists are plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate. My wife and daughter have been kidnapped, and people that I work with may be involved in both. I’m federal agent Jack Bauer. This is the longest day of my life.
Previously on 24
- Senator David Palmer says that his son is accused of murder, and the story is too big to hide. Mike Novick tells him to control when and how the story comes out. Carl Webb tells Sherry Palmer that he is taking care of the evidence against Keith, but won't tell her how.
- Ira Gaines is asked by Andre Drazen why the Palmer situation has not been taken care of, as he and his brother are very disappointed.
- Jack tells Nina Myers that before he can help Teri he needs to get through the police. Nina tells him that Alberta Green is being brought in to run things. Green arrives, and the two share a frosty welcome.
- Jack Bauer speak to Teri and Kim. Kim asks who is behind everything, and Jack says he will find out but wants to make sure they get home safely. Tony then tells Jack that he found the name Ted Cofell on Jamey's computer. Cofell gets into his limousine, with Jack driving it.
The following takes place between 10:00am and 11:00am, on the day of the California Presidential Primary.
Jack Bauer threatens Ted Cofell with a gun.
10:01:58
Alberta Green inspects the CTU main floor where Tony Almeida and Nina Myers are working. She alerts them of the disappearance of the photographer, Martin Belkin and tells Tony to check with Secret Service. Nina eyes Green as she walks off to her aide.
Jack is driving Ted Cofell in his limousine when Cofell receives a call. A man named Kevin tells him to go to a parking garage at the corner of Nordhoff and Willingham. When his driver doesn't respond, Ted notices that he isn't Mark. Jack locks the doors and Cofell attempts to make a cell phone call. Jack pulls over, lowers the limo divider, points the gun at him and takes the cellphone. He gets in the back seat and introduces himself after slapping Cofell when he mistakes him for a common criminal.
Cofell denies any involvement with Gaines and claims to just be a businessman. Jack scoffs that he is a businessman riding around in a bullet-proof limousine. Jack asks what he needs such protection from, and Cofell answers, "People like you!" Jack threatens to murder Cofell then and there if he doesn't tell him where his wife and daughter are. With Jack's gun to his head, Cofell still insists he doesn't know anything. Jack draws the weapon away, telling Cofell that he is a very good liar, but that Jack has seen better. Jack exits the car, climbs back in the driver's seat, and checks Cofell's briefcase, finding only papers and medication. He phones Nina.
Nina receives Jack's call and secures the line. Jack tells her he has Cofell hostage and Nina criticizes him as going out further and further on a limb every time she talks to him. He asks her to put together an interrogation profile in 5 minutes.
10:07:56
Kim Bauer watches as Eli Stram beats Rick Allen.
Kim Bauer and Teri Bauer sit in the compound, still hostages. Rick Allen comes in and apologizes for the phone incident. Teri thanks him but he asks for no information and leaves. Kim watches him outside as Eli Stram beats him. She protests inside and hugs Teri, who looks fearfully at the windows.
Nina is gathering information on Cofell when Alberta shows up. She hurriedly minimized her screen as Alberta questions the anomaly in first class of Flight 221. Nina explains it probably belonged to Martin Belkin. She explains that a look-alike must have taken Belkin's place at the plant ceremony but that the impostor had gained access with a genuine ID. They have no answer as yet to how the impostor managed to get ahold of it. Jack suddenly calls and Nina stalls because Alberta is there. Hiding the fact that she was speaking to Jack, Nina tells Alberta that Bill Warner from the Bureau was calling. Alberta asks to speak with him, but Tony distracts her with information about a connection to the Balkans. Nina Myers gives information on Ted Cofell, including that he got into college at age 16 and is the oldest of three, and, extrapolating personality traits, sketches out an interrogation method with Jack: "so basically make him sweat it out for a little while, assume control, and then behave erratically." Going off a hunch, Nina notes that with people as tightly wound as Cofell appears, the threat of pain can be more effective than pain itself.
Jack puts on a tough persona for Cofell
Jack exits the limo and assumes a menacing persona. He rolls up his sleeves and removes his jacket as Cofell looks on in rising fear.
10:13:04... 10:13:05... 10:13:06...
10:17:29
Jack enters the limo and removes his glasses. He asks Cofell about Greg Penticoff, Alan York and David Palmer. Cofell insists he knows nothing. Jack tells him the plot on Palmer has failed, and that Cofell has been implicated but Cofell still claims not to know anything. Jack notices his hands are sweating and points it out. Cofell says he is scared. Jack asks him about the man at the parking garage, and Cofell gives the name Kevin Carroll, claiming that he is also a businessman. Jack phones Nina and tells her to look Carroll up.
Jack is silent for a second then lurches forward towards Cofell. He takes a cloth from the water tub and puts it on the floor, then pours water on it. As Cofell looks on, Jack casually tells him about the Russian Gulag in Siberia. The torturers there had to make do with limited equipment. Jack explains that he can push the towel down Cofell's throat and then rip it out after his stomach starts digesting it, taking the stomach lining with it and resulting in a long, torturous death. Terrified, Cofell shows Jack a picture of his own wife and two children, and says that if he knew something about Jack's family, he would tell him.
10:20:58
Andre Drazen gives Ira Gaines an ultimatum
Andre Drazen's car pulls up to the compound and is greeted by Ira Gaines. Drazen expresses his disappointment at the lack of any development since he last spoke to Gaines and tells him, bluntly, that he has failed. Incredulous that he would just give up after emphasizing the importance of getting Bauer and Palmer for over a year, Andre assures him that he isn't abandoning the assassination plot at all. He has a contingency plan and it doesn't involve Gaines. Gaines asks Andre to give him until noon. Drazen allows Gaines thirty minutes more to find Bauer. As Rick stands in earshot, he tells Gaines his last task before pulling out will be to kill Bauer's wife and daughter. As Gaines storms off, Andre calls a contact and they converse in Serbian.
David Palmer and Sherry Palmer are still at Grant Elementary School in the Valley, talking to the principal. Mike Novick calls David over with a return call from Carl Webb, who is phoning from his building. David tells Carl that he received a very disturbing call a short while ago, informing him that Keith's therapist's life might be in danger. Deducing the source, Carl tells David to pay no attention to Frank Ames, calling him an "old lady". David threatens Carl with information about his past if he doesn't come to meet with him in person. Carl says he'll be there by eleven.
Jack makes another call to Nina for information on Kevin Carroll, who says there are six, and one does in fact work for a machine tools company. Nina suggests they might have made a mistake, but Jack won't hear of it, and goes to see Carroll with Cofell still hostage in the back.

10:30:13
In the storage room where Kim and Teri are being held, Teri experiences abdominal pains. Kim is about to go get someone but Teri protests. Teri tells Kim that they have to be strong and wait for Jack. They embrace.
Jack continues to head towards the parking garage and lets his eyes off on Cofell, who removes a Microtech Halo blade from a seat in the car. He hides the knife by his legs and Jack drives on.
David kisses Sherry before leaving
Back at the school, David signs a basketball for a school worker as Sherry is testing the food. She says it is better than what she and David used to eat, prompting the principal to ask if they were in the same elementary school. Sherry makes her excuses and they leave. In the kitchen, they discuss her call to Carl and she tells David that she asked him to stop Maureen Kingsley. She also says that Carl would take care of the evidence against Keith. Because she wasn't sure what he meant, she didn't tell David. David kisses her and leaves with Mike.
Ted Cofell gasps for air after Jack Bauer punches him.
10:34:13
Jack and Cofell arrive at the parking lot. Jack enters the back when Cofell attacks him with the concealed knife. Jack breaks his wrist and stows away the knife. Cofell snarls at him in Serbian and Jack is astounded. He kicks and then grabs him by the throat, asking if he is from Belgrade. With a thick Serbian accent, Ted tells him that he will pay, and deserves everything that is happening to him. Jack punches him in the heart, causing Cofell to hyperventilate. Jack shows him the medicine and tries to force-feed it to him before Cofell dies of his heart condition. Cofell spits it out and dies. Jack frantically tries to apply CPR but it is too late.
10:37:02... 10:37:03... 10:37:04...
10:41:30
Nina comforts Jack over the phone and he tells her that the whole situation is disturbing. He glances at the dead Cofell, then tells her to check his background and his assignment files from Operation Nightfall. Jack hangs up then hears tires squealing in the distance. He sets Cofell up to look as if he was alive.
Tony comes over to Nina and hands her some papers. He then tells her that Alberta Green knows they are working for Jack and asks if they should come clean to her. Nina begrudges this, saying that if Alberta called Division, more people could be involved. She also mentions the possibility of another mole like Jamey coming in.
Rick hands a gun to Kim
10:44:16
Back at Ira Gaines' compound, Kim is dozing off on the hay when Teri wakes her. Rick, visibly beaten up, comes in and hands them a gun. Kim hesitates to take it, but Teri finally does. Se tells Kim that the people are coming and that they will kill them this time. As Rick walks away, Kim starts shaking her head in disbelief and moaning. Teri goes to her and shapes her up and tells her not to give up.
Jack looks as Kevin Carroll attempts to shoot him.
A car screeches down towards Cofell's limousine. Jack watches as a man gets out, and it is revealed to be Kevin Carroll, the man he believed to be Alan York. Carroll enters the limo and after he closes the door, Jack puts on the locks. Kevin is surprised to see Jack and then notices that Cofell is dead. Jack asks him about Teri, but he refuses to talk. Kevin takes out his gun and shoots at Jack, but since the divider glass is bullet-proof, Jack doesn't even flinch. Then, just as Carroll loads another clip, Jack starts the limousine and starts swerving around the parking lot until he finally hit the brakes and Carroll is knocked unconscious.
10:48:07... 10:48:08... 10:48:09...
10:51:42
Jack has just tied Kevin up in his car as he regains consciousness. As Jack gets in the car with him, he asks again about his family. Kevin tells him that he needs him to find them. Finally, they make a deal that if Kevin leads Jack to his family and if they are safe, then he will be let free.
At Gaines' compound, Andre tells him that his half hour is up and that he should kill Teri and Kim since their contingency doesn't involve them. Ira calls Eli Stram and sends him to make the final preparations with the drivers and to kill Teri and Kim.
David Palmer meets with Carl Webb
David is talking to the principal again, and refers Mike to a question as he sees Carl waiting. They talk about Ferragamo being murdered, and Carl denies it when David asks. He tells David about the price of power, but David says that he won't permit anyone to be hurt in the name of his campaign. Carl retorts and tells David about the powerful people behind everything they're doing, and finishes saying that they have both always worked "for them". David replies, "Not me," and leaves Carl. As he walks away, he makes a phone call and asks for Ferragamo's phone number.
As Teri and Kim are waiting, Eli comes inside. Teri hides the gun as he tells them that he will make it fast. As he approaches them, she takes it out and points it at his face. He pulls at her and they start to struggle. When he takes out his gun, Kim grabs him and they fall on the ground. He drops his gun and Teri picks it up and he wrestles with Kim. When Eli draws a switchblade to kill Kim, Teri shoots him in the back and he rolls over dead. Teri shoots him a second time to make it appear as he had killed Kim and herself.
Kevin directs Jack to the hideout
Split screen: Teri and Kim hide Eli's body. Gaines and Drazen wait for confirmation from Eli. David Palmer is on the phone.
Kevin tells Jack to turn left and Jack asks where they are headed. Kevin simply tells him that he is taking him to his family.

Background information and notes
Story and script
- The opening narration has been changed for the second time.
- In this episode, David Palmer implies that Operation Nightfall was during the summer two years ago. In subsequent episodes, it is stated to be two years before the present day.
- This marks the first time that another main character other than Jack Bauer kills on-screen.
Filming locations
The Sepulveda Dam
- See all: Season 1 filming locations
- The area Jack parks Cofell's limo is the Sepulveda Dam on the Los Angeles River in the San Fernando Valley, frequently used as a filming location in numerous Hollywood productions. 24 reused the dam for the Union Conduit Dam in Season 4 and as Abu Fayed's landing site in Season 6.
- The Nordhoff garage scenes were filmed at the L.A. Center Studios complex in Downtown L.A., the same location used for Cofell's office in the previous episode.
Props and minutiae
- Ted Cofell's "bulletproof limousine" is a 1995 Lincoln Town Car Stretch.
- Kevin Carroll's car is a green 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis.
- The guards at Ira Gaines' compound are seen carrying AK-47 imitations and, prominently, an M16 rifle.
- The Microtech HALO, an automatic tactical knife, is identified by name as the weapon Cofell tries to use on Jack Bauer.
- Kevin Carroll's sidearm is a Glock 17 pistol. Jack presumably takes it from him after Carroll is knocked unconscious by his erratic driving.
- The gun Rick Allen gives to Teri Bauer is Dan's Smith & Wesson 5904, last seen in "3:00am-4:00am" when Dan almost used it to kill Janet York.
- Eli Stram brandishes a Milano Stilleto knife while trying to kill Kim. Teri shoots him with his own Beretta 92FS and uses it for the next two episodes.
Music
- The cue from the opening and finale of the episode, and various points throughout, appears on the 24: Original Television Soundtrack as Track 4, "Jack in the Limo." This cue is also featured in "Day 2: 9:00am-10:00am" when Jack meets up with Eddie Grant.
Errors and inconsistencies
- When Jack is driving Kevin Carroll around the parking garage in the back of Ted Cofell's limo he can be seen driving pass Kevin's parked car. A few seconds later they show a wide shot of the parking garage with the limo driving down the center aisle and Kevin's car is no longer there.
