[edit] Summary

The world's most powerful leaders are gathering in Los Angeles for the G8 Summit, unaware that they have been targeted by two separate terrorist groups, each with its own lethal agenda. Uncovering and disarming one bomb would be difficult enough; eliminating both will be nearly impossible.

On the trail of a rabid Islamic assassin, rogue CTU agent Jack Bauer doesn't know that another conspiracy is brewing around him—a poisonous plot to violently dictate the future of the free world. If Bauer does nothing, in twenty-four hours the entire planet may be plunged into chaos, its primary heads of state ruthlessly destroyed. But if he acts, his daughter Kim will die instead.

[edit] Memorable quotes

  • "If Jack Bauer stomped into his office claiming to have uncovered a plot to assassinate the entire line of succession in the U.S. government, Henderson would probably believe him. But this..."
  • Mercy Bennet: You are a piece of work, Jack. You used the vacation with your wife as a setup for stalking out the docks. You're the best operator I've ever met, but you're a real son of a bitch.
  • Mercy Bennet: This virus isn't going to kill me. Knowing Jack Bauer is going to kill me.
  • Mercy Bennet: But... but do you ever wonder if what you're doing is okay? What if sometimes they are right and you're wrong?

Jack Bauer: Sometimes I'm wrong, but they're never right.

  • Ryan Chappelle: (to Henderson) Don't be surprised if someday you find yourself regretting that Bauer's around.
