Mandy (Mia Kirshner) touches down, and hides the ID she took from the photographer on the plane. Teri (Leslie Hope) and Janet's (Jacqui Maxwell) dad, Alan York (Richard Burgi), get to the furniture store, but the kids are long gone. Walsh (Michael O'Neill) meets a frightened agent, who gives him a card key encoded with classified information about Palmer (Dennis Haysbert), which he says was created by the mole in CTU. Before Walsh can act on the information, the agent is killed, and he finds himself pinned down by unseen gunmen. He calls Jack for help. Mandy meets with Ira Gaines (Michael Massee) and he pays her for the ID, which her partner is bringing. At Gaines' hideout, Mandy sees Jonathan (Rudolph Martin), who's been surgically altered to look just like the photographer. Jack reaches Walsh, and helps him kill two of the gunmen. Jack cuts the thumb off of one corpse, for identification purposes. Bridgit (Kim Murphy), Mandy's partner, shows up at the hideout, but won't give up the ID until Gaines doubles their money. Secret service agents show up at Palmer's hotel room and tell Sherry (Penny Johnson) about the threat against his life, but the senator has taken off on his own. Walsh is killed after giving Jack the key card. Jack gets away, and transmits info on the card to Jamey (Karina Arroyave), who tells him that the card came from Nina's computer. Rick (Daniel Bess) and Dan (Matthew Carey) order Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) to call her mother and say she's okay. Dan smashes Janet's arm with a tire iron when Kim refuses. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Mandy (Mia Kirshner) apologizes to Ira (Michael Massee) for Bridgit's (Kim Murphy) demands. Ira calls Rick (Daniel Bess) and Dan (Matthew Carey) for an update on Kim. Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) meets with Carl (Zach Grenier), some kind of PR guy, and tells him there's a story out that the senator's son Keith (Vicellous Reon Shannon), killed the man who raped his daughter. Carl promises to take care of it. Jack tells Jamey (Karina Arroyave) about Walsh's allegations, and has her confirm that the key card came from Nina's (Sarah Clarke) computer, while he keeps Nina occupied by asking about her relationship with Tony (Carlos Bernard). Once the origin of the card is confirmed, Jack accosts Nina, demanding to know who she's working for. Nina pleads her innocence.

Jack and Teri learn that Kimberly has snuck out of the house, but before they can deal with the situation, Jack is called away to work. He has a close relationship with one of his underlings, Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke), and another, Tony (Carlos Bernard), suspects them of having an affair.

Jack manages to grab a gun and escape. He forces a woman, Lauren (Kathleen Wilhoite), at gunpoint to drive him away. Jamey tries to explain her actions to Tony, who calls her a traitor. She refuses to cooperate further until they give her immunity. Jack, now with a hostage, gets to a phone and calls Nina, who tells him that Jamey was the mole. He talks to Jamey, promising to get her out of trouble if she'll help them find Gaines. She refuses, so Jack tells Nina to send a car for him, and to bring in Jamey's son.

Eli (Silas Weir Mitchell), one of Gaines' goons, tries to rape Kimberly (Elisha Cuthbert), but Teri (Leslie Hope) offers herself instead.

Victor tells Mason (Xander Berkeley) that he'll trade Jack for Alexis, but Mason tells him he doesn't have the authority to make the deal. Sherry (Penny Johnson Jerald) tells Patty (Tanya Wright) that she won't be going to Dallas with Palmer, and that they can use some time apart. Mason gets the word from Chappelle (Paul Schulze). The whole Drazen business is an embarrassment to CTU, and they don't want to risk drawing more attention to it. Jack's on his own. Nina tells Teri (Leslie Hope) the bad news, and she goes straight to Mason, who tells her there's nothing he can do. Nina calls Palmer, and tells him about the whole situation. As CTU gets word about Kim's abduction, Palmer calls Mason, and promises to reward him for making the deal for Jack, after he's president. Victor kills a couple of friends to keep Jack under control. Mason lets Victor know the deal is on, and goes to get Alexis. Patty continues to flirt with Palmer, and it turns out that Sherry is encouraging her. Kim is brought to the Drazens, and a distraught Jack begs them to let her go. Andre (Zeljko Ivanek) brings Jack to a remote field, and leaves him there. Mason gives Alexis over to the Drazens.

As the polls close in California, the networks report that Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) has swept Super Tuesday. He thanks his supporters, who have gathered to celebrate. Melanie (Navi Rawat) hassles Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) as they sit in a holding cell. Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) calls CTU and tells Mason (Xander Berkeley) about Victor Drazen (Dennis Hopper), and urges him to send a field unit out right away. He does. Mason also gives Nina (Sarah Clarke) grief about her romances with Jack and Tony (Carlos Bernard). Tony brings Teri (Leslie Hope) into CTU, but no one will give her any information about Jack. Mason reassures her that Kim must be okay, because the assassin that attacked Teri demanded to know where she was. Mason can't reach Chappelle (Paul Schulze) to tell him about the field unit. Jack finds himself in a standoff with Drazen's men. He holds Victor at gunpoint, while Andre (Zeljko Ivanek) has DeSalvo (Lou Diamond Phillips).

Kim backs up Melanie when another prisoner tries to plant drugs on her, so Melanie tells Krugman (Darin Heames) the truth about the drug deal. He calls the number Kim gave him, and she's released. Palmer gently fends off the advances of his aide, Patty (Tanya Wright). Chappelle finally talks to Mason, and he wants the situation cleaned up immediately, without regard for Jack's safety, so the media won't get wind of it. Kim calls Teri to say she's on her way, just before she's intercepted. Victor and his men elude the CTU team. Victor is about to kill Jack until Jack offers to lead them to Alexis. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Andre (Zeljko Ivanek) calls Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) on the cell phone he gave him, and tells him to go to Palmer's (Dennis Haysbert) hotel, and have Palmer unfreeze the family's assets. In response to her flirtations, Palmer arranges a private meeting with Patty (Tanya Wright) in a hotel room. Jack calls CTU and lets them know he's been released. Realizing that with Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) being held by the Drazens, Jack could be a threat to Palmer, Mason (Xander Berkeley) has the Secret Service increase security. Alexis (Misha Collins) is reunited with Victor (Dennis Hopper) and Andre (Zeljko Ivanek), just before he dies from his injuries. Andre angrily goes to kill Kim, but Victor stops him, as they still need her. Sherry (Penny Johnson Jerald) tells Patty why she wants her to seduce Palmer. Tony (Carlos Bernard) discovers that the schematics of the detention center were altered, and suggests to Nina (Sarah Clarke) that there may still be a traitor at CTU. Tony gets information suggesting that Mason accessed the plans, so Nina tells him to cut off Mason's network access. Jack calls Palmer to tell him he's on his way, and promises not to harm him. Palmer agrees to let Jack in. Palmer has his meeting with Patty, and confronts Sherry about her underhandedness. When Jack gets to the hotel, Palmer tells him that he can't unfreeze Victor's assets, and Victor knows it. In the nick of time, Jack realizes what Victor's up to. Andre explains his actions to Kim. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi
24: 11:00 PM-12:00 AM
As the first season finale of 24 begins, Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) has managed a daring escape from the Drazens. Sherry (Penny Johnson Jerald) harangues Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) about letting the media think the assassination attempt on him succeeded, which he's doing to help Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) save Kim's life. Victor (Dennis Hopper) has agreed to exchange Kim for Jack. Jack goes to the pier to make the trade, but he won't show himself until he gets to talk to Kim, which leaves Victor and Andre (Zeljko Ivanek) in a jam, because Kim isn't there. Jack lets Nina (Sarah Clarke) know that Palmer is still alive, and Nina passes that information along to Andre. Alerted that Kim is safe, Mason (Xander Berkeley) sends two tactical teams to support Jack. Sherry surreptitiously lets the media know that Palmer survived the explosion, and Palmer, thinking she's jeopardized Kim's life, really blows up. Nina lets the Drazens know that CTU is en route. Victor tells Nina to tell Jack that Kim is dead, in order to lure him out into the open. Nina tells Victor to make sure they kill Jack, because if he survives, and finds out Kim is still alive, her cover will be blown. As news of Jack's foolhardy one-man raid against the Drazens reaches CTU, Teri (Leslie Hope) goes looking for Nina to find out what's going on. An alternate ending to the episode was shot to discourage leaks, and this "decoy" ending is included on the DVD release of season one. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi
24: 6:00 PM-7:00 PM
Phil (Vincent Angell) takes Teri (Leslie Hope) home, where Myovic (Henri Lubatti) is waiting. They set off the burglar alarm, and Teri doesn't know the code. Myovic watches as the police arrive to affirm Teri's identity and turn off the alarm. Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) calls Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) with the missing information from the Drazen file. It's an address in Saugus, in the middle of the sector where Alexis planned to have the power shut down. Jack, with Mason (Xander Berkeley) in tow, heads for Saugus. Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) accidentally lets Frank (Edoardo Ballerini) know that Dan isn't coming home, so Rick (Daniel Bess) tells Frank the whole story. Dan's dead and there's no money for the drug deal. Sherry (Penny Johnson Jerald) is very unhappy about Palmer's decision to reveal everything to the media. "You don't just decide to clear your conscience at the cost of what's best for this country," she tells him. On the way to Saugus, Jack tells Mason he feels better now because his family's safe, and Mason clams up. Teri still doesn't remember much, but she tells Phil she feels safe with him. Frank calls some heavily armed friends over to prepare for the arrival of the drug dealers. Phil also invites an armed friend over to help him protect Teri. Palmer gives his press conference, telling the media how his campaign contributors tried to exploit his family. Nina (Sarah Clarke) finds out the safe house was hit, and chastises Tony (Carlos Bernard) for keeping quiet about it. Nina tries to call Jack, but Mason intercepts the call. The dealers arrive and guns are drawn, but Frank learns he's made a big mistake. Just as Nina is starting to remember something, Myovic makes his move. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi
24: 7:00 PM-8:00 PM
Mason (Xander Berkeley) gets word that Alexis is coming out of surgery. He tells Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) they should be there to question him. Jack opts to remain in Saugus, trying to figure out why Alexis wanted the power cut off at 7:20 p.m. to what looks like an empty field. Teri's (Leslie Hope) memory returns, and she's horrified, until Tony (Carlos Bernard) tells her that Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) called CTU; she's still alive. Kim, meanwhile, is in police custody. Rick (Daniel Bess) tells her to tell the cops everything, and he'll back her up. She tells the cop who arrested her that she was kidnapped, but he doesn't believe her. After the press conference, Sherry (Penny Johnson Jerald) angrily tells Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) he's just made his concession speech, and tells him, "It's over." He asks her, "Do you mean the campaign or us?" and she walks away. Jack finds some kind of underground facility and goes inside, where he's attacked by guards. He wakes up in a cell. Andre Drazen is outside the compound with his squad, waiting for the power to go out. When Jack wakes up, DeSalvo (Lou Diamond Phillips) tells him he's in a Department of Defense Detention Center. They're expecting a prisoner at 7:20, but his identity is classified. Jack tells DeSalvo to call for backup, and to arm everyone at the facility. The prisoner is delivered. Andre doesn't make his move because the power doesn't go out. Palmer finds out that his press conference actually helped him in the polls. Jack manages to get a look at the prisoner. It's Victor Drazen (Dennis Hopper), the man Jack and his team supposedly killed in Bosnia. Jack realizes that somebody will try to spring Victor, and convinces DeSalvo that they need to move the prisoner. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi
