James Sutton

James Sutton was the Director of CTU Washington.

24: Conspiracy

Sutton sent Martin Kail to find and bring in Susan Walker, a former operative of CTU Washington who had gone rogue, killing DOD agent Donald Frick. After Kail himself was caught by Susan, she explained what was happening: someone inside CTU was trying to collect a package of money for themselves. They realised that it must be Sutton as he was the only one with the relevant access codes and so set off to bring him to justice.

However, they were fatally wrong, not realising that it was, in fact, the analyst Kelly who was the mole. She entered Sutton's office and shot and killed Sutton before Martin or Susan could do anything about it, and then used the device to send four agents' palm prints to Navi Araz. The attempt failed, however, as Martin and Susan came in just in time and killed her, but no before Martin himself was critically wounded and fell into Susan's arms.
