    This second episode of 24, contrary to the previous episode, is more weaker. As we all know, jack is back in the field, even is that is temporary, we know this is not true for the past experience like season 2.

    The terrorists managed in some way (plot convinience) to discover the location of the chloe friends, now Jack has to find him, before the terrorist kill the guy. For that to happen, roonie has to die.

    Up to now 24 begans well, but had already began to show repetitive signs, which takes away the proper intensity and emotion that the audience should feel.moreless

    So, Jack is back on his usual position - trying to save the crises.. ok, this time mostly Audrey and then defense minister. So, now it is all about the man who saw something on the internet and he is in trouble. They are after him and they are tracking his call and when Jack gets back to field to pick him up, they get first and it all ends up with many dead agents and Jack on her own after him.

    I think the another quite interesting storyline was Behrooz and his dealing with his parents. The whole family looks very promising and I am sure we will have good storylines there.moreless

    S4 remains strong in its second hour, where everyone gets to work on the newly emerged threat: the kidnapping of Secretary Heller.
    The bond between Jack and Chloe evolves further when she comes to him with news on Andrew Paige, the catalyst for the events to follow. After some bickering with Driscoll, he gets paired up with Ronnie Lobell to go pick Andrew up at a train station.
    The members of the Araz Family are developed with the following moments: Navi and Dina hover their faces freakishly; Behrooz reluctantly delivers a mysterious briefcase then talks with his girlfriend Debbie; Navi slaps Behrooz. Ace.
    But elsewhere on the villain front, henchman Kalil Hasan is also going after Andrew, so the audience can focus on this race between the good guys and the bad guys. And Heller and Audrey are brought to a compound where they meet Omar, who's in charge ofwhatever the terrorists want to do with Heller.
    In the end, Kalil wins the race, and Jack begins the story arc where he must follow Kalil around and get to Heller. Also in the end, we find out that Heller's gonna be executed in three hours. It's a wild ride of a season so far, and that ride won't be stopping anytime soon.

    Hourly Highlight:
    Kalil shoots Ronnie.moreless

    There seems to be a lot of irrelevant side stories this season. In the past the side stories usually involved Sherry Palmer or Kim being kidnapped, but with neither of them being on the show this year it seems as if the primary source of filler drama is going to come from the Araz family. It seems that we are going to learn a lot more then we usually get to know the enemy this season, including Beerozs situation with his girlfriend Debbie. I have yet to see a really good filler plotline that I like and the parts with the Araz family in this episode were not that good. Erin Driscoll is not a very good CTU director. Not just becuase she doesn't do anything that Jack likes, but mainly because her style of work mimics Ryan Chapelle, and Ryan simply did it ten times better then she ever coule. Ronnie dying was about the perfect thing that anyone could ask for after only two episodes. With no one else to led field ops, it looks like Jack Bauer will just fit right back into CTU. Overall it was a so so episode, nothing really amazing happened.moreless

    Jack Bauer forces Erin Driscoll to reinstate him to active duty as Secretary Heller gets kidnapped by terrorists. A son of a terrorist couple Behrooz finds himself torn between two worlds. This episode is filled up with action and surprises, it's a really exciting episode, we see lots of stuff in it. I really loved this episode. The action scenes are well directed. The dramatic scenes didn't feel like they were slow, the tension are so high within those scenes. It's a really well directed episode, the actors were awesome, they really hit their marks. The plot is so believable, you stop thinking that it's just a show.moreless

    ADD NOTES
    • The scenes involving the compound where Heller and Audrey are held captive were filmed at Fort McArthur, located in San Pedro, California. Edit
    • During several commercial breaks throughout the premiere event, loyal 24 fans got a sudden burst of nostalgia when former cast regular Dennis Haysbert (President "David Palmer") appeared on their TV screens. But Haysbert was a long way from his role as Commander-In-Chief, acting instead in his capacity as the official spokesman for Allstate Insurance. Allstate remained as one of the primary sponsors of the show throughout its fourth season. Edit
