The third season of the real-time television series 24 premiered in the United States in October 2003. The first broadcast in Germany and Switzerland took place between January and June 2005. In 2004 the season was honored with an Emmy Award each in the categories of sound mixing, casting, stunt coordination and image editing .

The season is about the undercover investigation of federal agent Jack Bauer in a Mexican drug trafficking family to confiscate highly infectious, bio- weapons- grade viruses and to arrest their vendors. After CTU failed to secure the virus, an anti-US terrorist blackmailed US President Palmer into following his instructions or - by releasing the virus - accepting the deaths of thousands of people. At the same time, Palmer is confronted with revelations about people in his private environment, in the context of which he is also blackmailed and which endanger his re-election.

The action takes place three years after the second season , starts at 1 p.m. and lasts until 1 p.m. the following day.

prehistory

Jack Bauer spent six months undercover in the Mexican Salazar family's drug business , which resulted in the arrest of Ramon Salazar, one of their leaders. During the investigation, Jack became addicted to heroin .

US President David Palmer survived the acid attack committed three years ago . The criminal organization responsible for this has been broken up by US authorities.

1 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Joaquim de Almeida , actor of Ramon Salazar

The body of a man infected with the cordilla virus is dumped in front of a building belonging to the California health department in Los Angeles . These are highly contagious viruses that cause pneumonia and kill within 24 hours, which have been genetically modified for these purposes and for which there is as yet no antidote. By dumping the body, Ramon's brother Hector is warning the US authorities of an epidemic that would result in the targeted spread of the virus among the population. In order to blackmail the release of the multiple murderer Ramon Salazar, who is detained in a maximum security prison near LA, his brother Hector threatens to release the viruses within six hours.

Meanwhile, Ramon kills his lawyer with the penholder during a negotiation for relief and transfer to another prison in the presence of Bauer, Chase Edmunds and other officers.

Jack Bauer is working regularly as a CTU agent again. His attempts to keep his heroin addiction secret and to end are made difficult by withdrawal symptoms . His investigative partner is now Chase Edmunds, who has a love affair with Jack's daughter Kim, now a data analyst at CTU. After learning of the liaison, Jack forbids Chase from doing dangerous missions to protect Kim.

Hector Salazar uses the teenage Kyle Singer to smuggle into the United States a white powder that Singer believes is cocaine . In the milieu of the man dumped as a corpse, Jack and Chase learn of Singer's connection to Hector. After the arrival of CTU and epidemiology experts in his apartment, the powder he smuggled turns out to be non-infectious; Singer apparently serves Hector as the host infected with the virus a few hours ago , which is why the CTU wants to quarantine him before the incubation period is exceeded, which begins around 6 p.m. During the unsuccessful attempt to arrest Singer, CTU director Almeida is shot by a man who was working for Hector and who was warned by Gael Ortega. Ortega works at CTU as a data analyst and for Hector as a mole . Hector then has Singer and his girlfriend kidnapped and thus withdrawn from CTU's access.

President Palmer, supported by his brother and Chief of Staff Wayne Palmer, is preparing for a campaign debate with his adversary, Senator John Keeler, that evening at the University of Southern California , LA . With the white doctor Dr. Anne Packard has a publicly known love affair with David. Keeler would like to use the debate to reveal the role of Anne and her ex-husband Ted in the falsification of research - the result of which three people died - and which endanger David's election chances. She denies that she knew about the fake, unlike Ted. Ted tries unsuccessfully to extort money from David so that the allegations are not made public. In the debate that began around 5 p.m. and was broadcast live on television, Keeler alleged that he had also known about the fakes.

David vehemently refuses to release Ramon because he does not want the United States to be blackmailed by terrorists. Because of this, and because CTU probably can't find Singer by 6 p.m., Jack decides to forcibly free Ramon on his own and bring him to Hector, and receives David's tacit, unofficial approval. Starting with the liberation shortly before 5 p.m., Jack uses a pretext to get Ramon out of his prison cell and tries to reduce the risk of being held up by the guards by provoking a revolt by the inmates by opening all the cell doors . As a result, prison guards are captured, lynched , injured and murdered. On their way out, Jack and Ramon are forced by revolting prisoners to play Russian roulette , which they survive unharmed. At the moment shortly before 6 p.m. when CTU gets hold of Kyle Singers, unaware of the facts, Jack and Ramon manage to escape from the prison by helicopter.

Jack flies with Ramon in the direction of downtown Los Angeles . Since the US authorities do not want to let Ramon escape, they get permission from President Palmer to shoot down the helicopter. Because of this development Palmer breaks off the election debate. Because of the great risk of collateral damage, the launch fails; Jack lands the helicopter in the city center and takes Ramon to an airfield. There Ramon is picked up by his and Hector's accomplices by plane and Jack is taken hostage by them.

Meanwhile, Jack's heroin addiction becomes known in CTU. While Singer, who is in quarantine, is being examined by a doctor, it turns out that he is not infected with the cordilla virus at all, so that he is released from medical care. After Kim became suspicious of Ortega's secretive behavior, CTU discovered Ortega as a mole and arrested him after his unsuccessful escape attempt. Chapelle, who has meanwhile taken over the management of CTU from the acting head Dessler, has Ortega tortured with the injection of a truth serum in order to find out the whereabouts of the Salazars. Meanwhile, while investigating transfers from the Salazars, Chase discovers that Jack is likely to be brought to the northern Mexican city of Las Nieves , so he goes there himself.

Shortly after the end of his throat operation, Almeida went back to CTU, where he had the interrogation of Ortega broken off and informed Chapelle that he had been working with Jack and Ortega for a long time to smuggle Jack back into the Salazars as an undercover agent. At the same time, Jack and Ramon arrive in Las Nieves. Almeida informs Palmer and the CTU about the previously kept secret operation. As a result, they learned that Ukrainian scientists had developed new bio-weapons capable viruses. In order to prevent the viruses from reaching terrorists such as al-Qaeda , as well as to secure the viruses and to arrest the scientists, Jack put them in touch with Ramon Salazar, who is buying the viruses for US $ 100 million would like to resell them for $ 1 billion. As part of the plan, Jack had the body dumped in front of the US Health Department and, to gain Hector's trust, freed Ramon from prison.

Unaware of the plan, Edmunds has meanwhile arrived in Las Nieves, but is taken hostage there by the Salazars. Jack earns Ramon's previously lack of trust by pulling the trigger with a gun that Ramon secretly unloaded and pointed at Edmunds.

Ted passes its ex-wife documents that prove their innocence regarding the falsification of research results, and commits it because of the feeling of having failed, before their eyes suicide . Annoyed by the events of the day, Anne separated from David shortly afterwards.

9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

DB Woodside , cast member of Wayne Palmer

The CTU's secret operation threatens to fail because it lost contact with Jack because of the failure of his tracking device . For this reason, Jack tells Hector's friend Claudia about the secret plan and lets her free Edmunds - marked by a hand injury and other signs of torture - so that he can help Jack and inform the CTU. Meanwhile, Jack and the Salazars have arrived at the meeting point with Michael Amador, the scientist's negotiator. Contrary to the original agreement, he is selling the viruses to the highest bid after a second interested party has contacted him. This is represented by Nina Myers, the murderer of Jack's wife Teri. Since Myers wins the auction, Jack persuades the Salazars to get the viruses with Myers' help. Shortly thereafter, Jack captured Myers and instructed her to buy the viruses with the promise to pay her a higher fee. Meanwhile Edmunds flees from Hector with Claudia's help and together with her, her brother and her father; Claudia is fatally injured.

Meanwhile, Dessler reaps her husband's displeasure at CTU when she questions Chapelle's competence, which she had questioned because of Almeida's supposed forgetfulness as a result of his operation. A little later, data analyst Chloe O'Brien brings a baby with her to CTU, which she claims to be her own. After her colleagues realize that it is not her child and she does not want to reveal the real parents, Chapelle suspends Chloe.

Alan Milliken, influential in US politics and the most important supporter of David on his way to the US presidency, calls on David to step down as Wayne's chief of staff because Wayne had a love affair with Alan's wife Julia years ago, about which Alan recently found out. David rejects Wayne's offer to resign because he doesn't want to be blackmailed. After several US Senators withdrew their support for a planned health care reform through Alan's intervention, David enlists his ex-wife Sherry to fight Alan with just as immoral means as Alan.

Meanwhile, Amador arranges a meeting with Myers, who is controlled by Bauer and Ramon Salazar, at around 0.30 a.m. to hand over and pay for the virus container. Jack informs the CTU about the meeting unnoticed, so that they can send their special task force near the meeting point to take the virus container and arrest Amador. Fearful of arrest because of Edmunds' escape and Claudia's death, Hector has become so suspicious of Jack, Ramon and Myers that he wants to withdraw from the business. Because Ramon doesn't agree, he shoots Hector.

At the meeting between Amador and Myers, after payment, he hands her a container that supposedly contains a virus-containing liquid, but turns out to be a bomb that rips Ramon to his death. In the mess caused by the attack on the CTU Task Force, Myers and Amador are able to escape separately. Amador then flies to LA. Jack manages to arrest Myers and interrogates her during the flight to LA. She promises to divulge further information about Amador and to avoid US justice, wants to force the return of the plane to Mexico. She lets Jack trigger a self-replicating computer worm over the phone without his knowledge , which paralyzes the computer systems of the CTU and other US intelligence services and - if he is not stopped - will expose the identities of all US agents after half an hour. To prevent the worm from spreading, Chapelle uses Chloe, who can actually stop the worm. Shortly thereafter, to Kim's dismay, she admits that Chase is the baby's father.

Sherry Palmer determines that Alan caused the death of Kevin Kelly's daughter in a car accident twelve years ago and paid Kelly money in hush to avoid prosecution . David therefore ponders Kelly's suggestion to pardon his murdered son in order to get Kelly's testimony against Alan. After Sherry realizes that Kelly, whom she recently visited, has suddenly disappeared, she suspects Alan of having gotten Kelly out of the way. So, with the help of Julia Milliken, she goes to the Millikens' estate and lets her help, without Alan noticing, gathering evidence to prove Alan's guilt regarding Kelly's disappearance and to bring him to jail, so that Julia Alan's fortune inherits. After Alan noticed Sherry's presence, a heated argument ensues between the two of them, in which Alan suffers a heart attack and dies because of Sherry's deliberate failure to provide assistance .

Meanwhile, Jack and Chase have also returned to LA. Chase explains to Kim that he only found out about the baby himself four weeks ago. Chapelle has Myers interrogated and tortured with pain-inducing injections so that she can reveal more about Amador and the viruses. She makes a suicide and escape attempt, in which Jack - full of revenge and convinced that Myers has no further useful information - shoots her. Chapelle doubts that Jack Myers shot in self-defense.

Sherry asks David to provide her with an alibi for the time of Alan's death in order to avoid prosecution. Alternatively, she threatens him to make David's role in Alan's death public. Complying with both Sherry's request and Wayne's suggestion and concerned about his re-election, David then lies to the LA police chief and thus confirms Sherry's alibi. David expresses disgust for Sherry for her behavior.

Meanwhile, CTU has found Amador's hiding place and arrested him there. Amador, however, sold the viruses to Stephen Saunders, who had them modified by Marcus Alvers for a drastically reduced incubation period and replicated in twelve units. Saunders has one of them released through Alvers in the central ventilation system of the Chandler Plaza Hotel in LA, which is currently occupied by around 1000 guests. There Alvers is arrested by Dessler, who, contrary to her orders, stays in the hotel without protective clothing. When released around 4 a.m., Ortega comes into direct contact with the virus. Until 5 a.m., the guests in the hotel panic, two attempts to break out and - also in the case of Ortega - the first symptoms . At the same time, Jack and Chase let Amador escape in order to be guided by him to Saunders and the remaining virus containers. Sensing that Amador is being pursued, Saunders leads him into a deadly trap. After Jack put Saunders through with David, he asks Palmer to follow his instructions so that he does not release the viruses.

5 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Paul Blackthorne , starring in Stephen Saunders

CTU has now found out Saunders' identity. He is a former British MI6 agent who was a member of Bauer's team on the US Nightfall mission in Kosovo , but was imprisoned as such for two years. He thinks that his clients and colleagues left him in the lurch back then. He now thinks that the United States poses the greatest threat to world peace and that it must therefore be relegated to its place by force.

David uses the words "Whom the gods punish" in a press conference, as Saunders requested. When Jack and Chase investigate in the MI6 office, it is - triggered by Palmer's words - attacked with heavy weapons on Saunders' behalf and badly damaged. When Saunders discovered that Chapelle was investigating Saunders' transfers shortly before 6 a.m., he asked Palmer to kill Chappelle and extradite Chapelle's body by 7 a.m. In order to prevent Saunders from releasing the viruses, David has no choice but to comply with Saunders' request, he leaves the implementation to Jack. The attempt to arrest Saunders before the ultimatum expires fails when his whereabouts turn out to be a deception. Full of fear, but without much resistance, Chappelle lets Jack fly to the handover location and shoot him in the head before Saunders' accomplices pick up his body there.

Meanwhile, the health department is examining the hotel residents to see if they are infected. Ortega succumbed to the disease before 6 a.m., and many other hotel guests show symptoms. Hotel visitor Bill Cole is reported missing after leaving the building in the short period between the virus being released and the hotel being locked down. Around 7 a.m., the number of those infected in the hotel was already over 700, and some had already died. Dessler has a drug distributed among the infected that enables them to die painlessly. After learning that she is not infected, she leaves the hotel. Meanwhile, the infected Cole had contact with several people in the city area, which threatens to break out an epidemic . The authorities have set up several quarantine zones. Palmer informs the public of the threat without specifying that it is a virus threat and issues a flight ban .

Saunders asks President Palmer to give him all the names of the spies who are working on behalf of the United States in 32 other countries because he regards them as traitors and rejects the foreign policy of the United States . Otherwise, he threatens to release the virus in two major US cities. Palmer refuses to give in to this and other demands.

Saunders has the remaining virus containers brought to various major US cities. CTU is investigating that Stephen Saunders has a daughter named Jane and plans to arrest and interrogate her in order to find and blackmail him. Despite Jack's resistance, Kim lets herself be used as Jane's doppelganger in the university library so that Stephen doesn't notice Jane's kidnapping. After this happens, Jack threatens to hurt her if he releases the viruses and doesn't give up. Saunders wants to release the viruses in San Francisco because of Palmer's refusal , but he revokes the order when Jane contacts him at Jack's instigation. After the CTU determined Stephen's whereabouts with Jane's help and surrounded the building, Saunders blackmailed Almeida over the phone with the intention of injuring Dessler, who had meanwhile been kidnapped by him, should Almeida not allow him to escape from the building. Because Almeida has the special forces stationed differently at the building, Saunders manages to leave the building at 9 a.m., unnoticed by the other emergency services.

Because of his mysterious order to reposition the emergency services, Almeida quickly aroused the suspicion of Jack, so that Jack investigated internally. Stephen asks Almeida to hand Jane over to him in exchange for Dessler. After Almeida manages to get Jane Saunders out of CTU at 10 a.m., Jack catches up with him on the way to the handover location. They arrange the swap at a different location and, without Stephen's knowledge, with hidden CTU special forces. In order to get hold of Saunders, Jack Dessler's attempt to escape from Saunders' violence is canceled. During the swap at the meeting point, Dessler gets back to Almeida, but Jane - suspicious of Saunders' accomplices - lets the swap for Saunders fail; there is a firefight between the CTU forces, Saunders and his accomplices. By shooting down a helicopter waiting for Saunders with F-18 fighter planes, CTU thwarted his escape and was able to arrest him.

Almeida is also arrested, facing prosecution charges of high treason and at least 20 years in prison. Brad Hammond is the new head of CTU.

Sherry informs Keeler that David lied to the police chief about her alibi for the time of Alan's death. She agrees to prove David's lie so that David and his party will be thrown into a scandal and so increase Keeler's chances of an election victory to the detriment of David's re-election chances. To prove it, she expects Keeler to become part of his government after his election victory. Keeler immediately blackmailed the president into using his lie against him if he did not resign. With David's consent, Wayne and a paid helper go to Sherry's house to steal Alan's medicine box with Sherry's fingerprints, which is used as evidence, and so let Sherry and Keeler's plan fail. There, after they could not find the evidence in time, they are surprised by sherry, who overpower them and take the evidence from her. Wayne goes into the house again when Julia suddenly appears there. In his presence and full of revenge, she shoots Sherry before committing suicide with a shot in the head.

Jack blackmails Stephen either to enable him to find the virus containers or to send Jane to the Chandler Plaza Hotel. Stephen gives CTU the tracking codes for the virus containers. Ten of the eleven remaining virus containers distributed across the country can then be found and defused by emergency services before they would have been detonated at 12 noon. The CTU can corner the courier with the eleventh container in a subway station. Saunders, assigned to the CTU building to identify the last courier, is shot to death by Gael Ortega's widow in revenge. Killing three people, the courier escapes from the station and flees with the virus container into a school building. There Chase fights him, who straps the detonated virus container around his arm before Jack shoots him. A few seconds before the detonator is triggered, Jack has no choice but to cut off Chase's hand at the wrist with a fire ax to take the container from him; Jack puts the container in the refrigerator seconds before igniting it.

President Palmer, deeply shaken by the deaths of Sherry and Juliet, decides not to run for election. Over the phone he expresses his admiration and gratitude to Jack for his work for the USA.

production

The original plan was to adapt the novel The Da Vinci Code as a script for the season; However, this failed because of the high costs of purchasing the rights.

Sarah Wynter, who was part of the main cast in the second season, was originally intended for her role in the third season, but declined because of the offer for a role in a movie. Nevertheless, she appears in one scene of the first episode, at least in the DVD version.

reception

Reviews

The third season is judged to be weaker than its predecessor and as "the slack of the series" . The first half of the season contains some unnecessary subplot strands, especially the one revolving around the Salazars, and needs "a while to get going" . The fact that the plot after season 1 revolves around a terrorist who wants revenge on Jack Bauer is "ugly" . Although the season continues to offer a "wonderful mix of action, drama and suspense" , it also has credibility problems: Many of the CTU employees have relationships with one another that go beyond pure friendship, which is hardly possible in government positions and departments in reality. In addition, it is unrealistic that characters are fully operational again within a very short time after severe, almost fatal injuries.

Awards

With eight nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award , there were four awards at the Emmy Awards 2004 , namely for stunt coordination, image editing (each of episode 22), the sound mixing of episode 5 and the casting . In the case of nominations, it remained in the categories of Best Actor in a Drama Series and Best Drama Series .

In 2004 and 2005, 24 was also nominated 3 times for a Golden Globe Award , which, unlike the Emmys, is not given in relation to the television season, but in relation to the calendar year. In both years the series was nominated for Best Drama Series. In 2004 there was an award, in the category Best Actor (Kiefer Sutherland) the nomination remained.
