In the action, which takes place over 24 consecutive hours, the protagonist Jack Bauer is blackmailed on behalf of Serbian criminals - also out of revenge - to assassinate the US presidential candidate David Palmer, thereby making Bauer's daughter and wife their own have been kidnapped, not killed. Parallel to this storyline, it is about the involvement of Palmer's son in the accidental death of his daughter's rapist and the associated danger for Palmer's performance in the primaries for the American presidency.

action

The season's storyline begins and ends at midnight and takes place on Super Tuesday , a Tuesday when the California primaries for the US presidency take place. Most episodes begin with an introduction consisting of four sentences, which is spoken by the off- voice of the protagonist Jack Bauer, varies depending on the progress of the plot and summarizes the current situation. The last sentence remains unchanged: "I am Federal Agent Jack Bauer and today is the longest day of my life."

0 to 1 p.m.

Jack Bauer, a former Special Forces -Agent is head of secret operations of the state anti-terrorism -Einrichtung of Los Angeles , the CTU. After living separately from his wife Teri for a while, he now lives again with her and their daughter Kim.

Shortly after midnight, the CTU learns that an assassination attempt on the Democratic , California Senator David Palmer, who is running in the primary elections, is planned. He is said to have a good chance of becoming the first black man to become President of the United States if he wins the primary.

The criminal Ms. Mandy steals the press pass of a photographer on board a fully occupied Boeing 747 flying to LA , who is on his way to David Palmer's campaign appearance. She then activates an explosive device with a time fuse on the plane and jumps off with a parachute before the Boeing explodes and crashes over the Mojave Desert . According to plan, the ID ends up in the hands of criminal Ira Gaines. At the same time, Gaines has Rick and Dan kidnap Kim Bauer accompanied by their friend Janet York. Meanwhile, Teri Bauer goes looking for her daughter and meets a man who pretends to be Alan York and Janet's father. Together they continue the search for the two girls.

Jack Bauer unauthorized investigates a tip from his agent friend Richard Walsh. To do this, he overpowers his boss, George Mason, and leaves CTU under a pretext to meet with Walsh. At the meeting point, Bauer learns from Walsh that a mole at CTU is hindering the investigation into thwarting the assassination attempt on Palmer. Before Walsh is also shot by one of the killers, he can give Bauer a chip card with alleged information about this mole. Using information on the smart card, Bauer learns from a Gaines-related criminal that Kim's disappearance is part of the plot to kill Palmer.

Carlos Bernard , cast member of Tony Almeida

Because Jack Bauer is keeping his investigations secret from other CTU employees - including the suspicious Tony Almeida - Mason has CTU temporarily shut down and internal investigations carried out, one of the goals of which is to find employees who can help Bauer. Bauer's deputy, Nina Myers, managed to keep her collaboration with Bauer a secret for a long time. She later took Almeida into her trust.

Bauer helps the Gaines confidante during the breakout at the police station in order to obtain information about the whereabouts of his daughter, and thus discovers a body he does not know. Meanwhile, Kim and Janet were able to free themselves from the violence of Dan and Rick. Their escape soon ends with Janet being seriously injured in a car accident and Kim being picked up again by Rick and Dan. Teri and Alan go to the hospital where Janet is admitted shortly afterwards. There they meet with Jack, who is immediately contacted by Gaines and, under threat of Kim's murder, is forced to follow Gaines' instructions. To do this, Jack leaves the hospital and returns to CTU. Before Teri's companion, who actually works for Gaines, suffocates Janet York in her sick bed, CTU identifies the body discovered by Bauer as real Alan York. After Teri learned of the false identity of her companion, she temporarily overpowered the impostor before she too is kidnapped by Gaines' followers.

Arriving at CTU, Jack sabotages investigators 'efforts to fully decrypt the smart card that Gaines would use to track him down at Gaines' request. Then he goes to an election campaign event in a power plant . There, a killer hired by Gaines, who has assumed the identity of the photographer who died in the Boeing, tries to shoot Palmer as he appears. To put the blame on Jack Bauer, he is supposed to leave his fingerprints on the murder weapon. Because Nina Myers, who has thwarted Jack's plans, warns the Secret Service , the execution of the assassination attempt is foiled at the last second. After his arrest as a supposed assassin, Jack flees to continue to serve Gaines and thus ensure the survival of his family.

Meanwhile brought to Gaines' hiding place, Rick and Kim witness the execution of Dan by Gaines, which he carries out in retaliation for leaving Janet alive and thus a potential betrayer of secrets. Kim is able to convince Rick to flee together and breaks off the attempt to escape when Teri arrives as another hostage in Gaines' hiding place.

Still secretly supported by Nina Myers, Jack is investigating businessman Ted Cofell, whose Serbian accent lets Jack recognize that Super Tuesday is also the second anniversary of Mission Nightfall , a secret US commando operation in Kosovo that was once thought by David Palmer Chairman of a congressional committee and was led by Jack Bauer. Since then, Bauer and Palmer believed that they had killed Victor Drazen, who was the right hand of Serbian President Milošević , as well as his wife and daughter. Andre, a son of Victor Drazen, turns out to be Gaines' client, acting out of revenge against Jack Bauer.

At CTU, Myers and Almeida are working to find and stop the mole in their ranks. This is what her colleague Jamey turns out to be, and she forwards investigation information to Gaines out of financial need. Myers and Almeida threaten her with torture and the bringing in of their young son in order to extort information about the whereabouts of Gaines and Jack's family. Before they can do this, they find Jamey covered in blood and unconscious, apparently trying to commit suicide . She dies a little later in the hospital.

Cofell, suffering from a weak heart, dies in Jack Bauer's violence and under threat of torture . Shortly thereafter, Jack Bauer is able to capture Cofell's contact Kevin Carroll, whom he recognizes as the fake Alan York and forces Jack to lead Jack to Gaines' hiding place. There Kim and Teri, supported by Rick, acoustically simulate their own death to Gaines by shooting another security guard who had previously raped Teri. Then Jack arrives at their place, undetected by Gaines. Together with Rick they flee the area. Rick is injured and a number of security guards die. Before the Bauers are picked up by a helicopter sent by the CTU, Rick flees for fear of arrest and Gaines is shot in self-defense by Jack Bauer.

David Palmer learns that his son Keith was involved in the accidental death of the rapist's sister Nicole several years ago . Palmer wants to let the public know about it that same day, believing it would eventually catch up with him anyway, and to allow voters to decide. Palmer's wife, Sherry, tries several times to prevent this because she sees David's election in jeopardy and sees moving into the White House as her top priority. The matter threatens to spiral out of control when Dr. Ferragamo, Nicole's psychiatrist, dies in a gas explosion in his hotel.

1 p.m. to midnight

Investigations by CTU reveal that Alexis Drazen, Andre's brother, has already entered the United States to replace the failed Gaines. Elizabeth Nash, a member of Palmer's campaign team, recognizes Alexis, who is her lover by another name. At Jack's instigation, CTU uses Elizabeth to provide Alexis with a listening device . The plan fails when Elizabeth, disagreed and full of anger and disappointment, stabs Alexis. Based on a sudden call on Alexis' cell phone, Jack follows a lead that will lead him to an inconspicuous location for Alexis to meet at 7 p.m.

After the rescue operation and a short stay in hospital, Teri and Kim come to a shelter because of the continuing danger to their lives. Its actually kept secret location is determined by an accomplice of Drazens, who can kill the guards there. Teri and Kim escape by car at the last second. As she flees from the shooter, Teri suffers memory loss from shock after a car accident , which separates her from Kim. Teri lets a doctor friend, whom she recognizes, help with the reconstruction of her memories and brings him to her home. There they are already awaited by killers hired by the Drazens. But Almeida can shoot the killers at the last second and prevent Teri from being shot.

Suspicious of the police, Kim flees to Rick in the house where he lives. Dan's brother soon appears there, believing that Dan is unharmed and that he would soon bring him a large sum of cash. Suspicious of Kim, he keeps her in the house. Since Dan's brother cannot pay for drugs delivered to him because of the lack of money, he wants to kill the drug suppliers at the upcoming meeting. The project fails because the suppliers reveal themselves as undercover police agents; during their raid Kim, Rick and his girlfriend are arrested, who exonerates Kim in prison and thus contributes to her release. While the police are transferring Kim from prison to CTU, their patrol car is rammed on behalf of the Drazens and Kim is kidnapped again.

Dennis Hopper , cast member of Victor Drazen

The meeting point of Alexis determined by Jack turns out to be an underground, state-run maximum security prison , to which Victor Drazen, believed to be dead , is being transferred on behalf of the Ministry of Defense on the date . As it turns out, Victor was secretly captured by the government. After arriving at the prison, Victor Drazen is freed by his son Andre and his helpers and Jack is taken hostage by them. Jack prevents his own shooting at the last second by suggesting that he be exchanged for Alexis.

With Senator Palmer's approval, Alexis is released in exchange with Jack. However, Alexis succumbs shortly afterwards from the consequences of the injury. So that Kim is not killed, her father is supposed to bring a cell phone to Palmer on behalf of the Drazens, which Victor Drazen allegedly wants to use to negotiate with Palmer about the payment of a sum of money. Bauer recognizes the cell phone as a remote-controlled bomb at the last second and can thus prevent Palmer's death. In order not to endanger Kim's life, at Jack's instigation and despite Sherry's energetic resistance, David Palmer tells the media that Palmer died in the explosion.

Keith makes a tape recording of his conversation with Carl Webb, one of the businessmen who are funding David's election campaign. In it, Webb admits to being responsible for the murder of Ferragamo. David uses the sound recording to publicly discredit Webb and at the same time to reveal the truth about Keith's involvement in the accidental death of Nicole's rapist. Because Sherry tries to prevent this out of concern for the common political future, David's displeasure with her grows. After the polling stations were closed, it became clear that David won the election with over 60 percent of the vote. His relationship with Sherry is now distant, so that Sherry uses David's assistant Patty to flirt with David and thus control him. David notices Sherry's plan and dismisses Patty without notice. The relationship of trust between David and Sherry is ultimately so shaken that he permanently expels her from his environment.

In a dock in the port of Los Angeles under the control of the Drazens, Kim manages to escape. It turns out that Nina Myers works as the Drazens' mole at CTU and has been constantly providing them with internal information. This also means that Palmer is still alive. She tells Jack the lie that the harbor guard pulled Kim's body out of the water. Believing the Drazens murdered Kim, Jack enters Drazen's hiding place and kills Andre and Victor Drazen.

Shortly afterwards, Jack recognizes the story of Kim's alleged death as a lie and exposes Myers as a mole. He also finds out that it is Myers who fatally injured CTU employee Jamie during interrogation, making her death appear suicide. Returning to CTU, Jack thwarted Nina's escape at the last second and can only be stopped from killing her by his colleagues. After Jack greets his daughter, he finds Teri dead in a server room, where she was apparently murdered by Myers after Teri had disturbed her in her escape preparations.

Production notes

On the DVD version there is an alternative, happy ending that contrasts with the dramatic ending: Bauer's wife is alive, but has cancer.

reception

criticism

The season emphasizes that the main story about Jack Bauer is much more convincing and more interesting than the story about his wife and daughter. The plot with Kim and Teri Bauer is condemned as "inharmonious", "annoying", "grafted" and "very much on the verge of silliness" as well as an "emergency solution" and "challenge to the patience of the audience". It is also criticized that the structure of the season, in contrast to the following seasons, does not differ significantly from that of soap operas . In the second half of the season it was revealed that the scriptwriters had not designed all 24 episodes in advance and were "unable" to continue the story "logically and credibly", even if it remained "captivating" until the end.

Awards

Out of ten nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award , there were two awards in 2002. This includes the pilot episode nominated four times in the Best Script for a Drama Series category . The season was also nominated in the categories of Best Actor in a Drama Series and Best Drama Series .

In 2002 and 2003, 24 was also nominated five times for the Golden Globe Award , which, in contrast to the Emmys, is not given based on the television season, but on the calendar year. In both years, the series was nominated for Best Actor and Best Drama Series; There was an award in the first category in 2002.
