Rashid kills the Ranger

Terrorists ransack a man's home, looking for something. This man is an Army Ranger, and has been tied to a chair and beaten brutally. Not finding it, they kill him "for Sheik Bin-Khalid" and leave the house; the man's family is already dead, too.

Rashid Al-Sabi, who killed him, calls his brother Malik and tells him the Ranger didn't have the item. Rashid asks about Ben Grimes, and Malik answers that Grimes wasn't at home, but they can find him. He then tells Rashid to move his people to their "final target."

Eric and Nicole Carter

Carter, one of the Rangers, is fixing coffee as Nicole walks in and suggests a weekend vacation. Eric says he's ready for a vacation right now. They kiss and his cell phone rings; it's Ben Grimes, who claims the government failed to keep them safe and hidden from Bin-Khalid's people, who caught up with him. Eric asks if Ben is sure, but Ben says yes, and to alert CTU about this. He tells Ben to calm down, who then yells at him. He asks how to remain in contact, but Ben refuses and throws his phone in the trash.

He tells Nicole about the call and starts messaging the others. "Just being safe," he assures her. Nicole thinks they're both overreacting, but seconds go by and he gets no response and gets worried. He then notices activity outside and sends her to the attic. She complies amidst panic and confusion, and as he tries to dial 9-1-1 and fails, he goes for his weapon to take on his enemies. They break in, take him by surprise and knock him out, and start searching the place.

Ingram enters Headquarters and Andy Shalowitz greets her, congratulates her on her speech, and discusses the new hire, Mariana Stiles.

As Shalowitz passes by Mariana's desk, she catches him and states that she didn't need Stanford to know all her cousin Edgar Stiles taught her.

Nicole Carter, in the attic, listens in on what's going on downstairs. The invaders go through Eric Carter's belongings and one of them, Rashid, asks Carter where his wife is. He claims she's at work, and asks them to do what they have to. Rashid asks for a strongbox that belonged to Bin-Khalid until Carter's squad killed him and took it. Carter denies knowing anything. The terrorist informs Carter of the deaths of four of the six squad members, and they didn't have it either, so it's down to Carter and Ben Grimes. This news enrages Carter, who is still tightly tied to the chair and can't do anything.

24L Rashid and Carter 12-1

The terrorist demands the strongbox and continues to torture Carter. When Carter continues to deny, the terrorists threaten to pour bleach on his eye.

She works frantically at getting the gun out of the safe while Eric fights what he can while tied. He breaks free, gets Rashid's gun, shoots and kills him, and together they take out the other two. They then head for the car and Eric works impatiently at getting the doors open. They drive off.

Rebecca Ingram tells her boss Mullins he needs to make sure to be up-to-date with the Haddad file, and then asks why Bashir was replaced. Mullins points out that she picked him personally.

As she mentions her husband's work as senator, she gets a call from Carter, who informs her of the loss of his men and the existence of this strongbox the terrorists are looking for. She asks where it is and Eric says Ben must have it. Rebecca offers to find Ben, but Eric rejects that idea, saying that this must have been an inside job, and only the directors of the CIA, NSA, and CTU are suspects. She offers to help using Ben's cell number, and Eric says he's taking Nicole somewhere safe. Rebecca tells Eric not to get the help of the police for that. They hang up.

Eric tells Nicole of the danger and she tells him to hand it over to CTU, but he claims he can't trust anyone.

They marvel at his paranoia just as Mariana Stiles comes up and states that she can detect Ingram's activity, using a code of her own. Shalowitz tries to stop her from going to Mullins, but it's no use, so he tries to tell Ingram to shut it down, but she refuses, since they're not done yet. Eric calls again and Rebecca tells him Mullins is about to catch him working behind his back. Eric says they can't let that happen, but she hangs up on him and addresses Mullins, who just walked in.

He shoots the ropes, causing the pipe to fall and roll towards his attackers. Using it as cover, he shoots one of the jihadis while the pipe crushes another.

A frustrated Eric tries shouting into his phone, then gives up and starts running.

Vehicles[]

Music[]

  • The full end credits feature a new theme by Sean Callery instead of the 24 Theme, which accompanied every previous episode end credits. The theme's motif can be heard throughout the episode, notably the climactic action sequence at the construction site.

Errors and inconsistencies[]

  • The on-screen title during the first act-in split screen is incorrectly spelled "Counter Terrorism Unit."
  • In this episode there are stated to be six Army Rangers that took part in the raid on Bin-Khalid's compound, differing from the seven seen in The Raid. The actors in the photograph differ from those in the prequel.
  • As Ben Grimes retrieves the strongbox, there are several jump cuts, breaking the real time conceit of the show.
  • A second on-screen clock reads 12:30 P.M., in an act which opened at 12:40 P.M.
  • In the scenes in Isaac Carter's house, the shots featuring Tiffany Hines as Aisha are all reshoots filmed at a different time to the rest of the scene. Small details in the room have changed, and most notably the painting has been hung at a 90° angle to what it was.
