"RIGHT NOW, TERRORISTS ARE PLOTTING TO ASSASSINATE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED, AND PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH, MAY BE INVOLVED IN BOTH, I'M FEDERAL AGENT JACK BAUER, AND TODAY IS THE LONGEST DAY OF MY LIFE."
The following takes place between 6 AM and 7 AM, on the day of the California Presidential Primary.
Jonathan: (psyching up) Gonna shoot some guys, gonna make some money. OK Gaines, heading out.
Jack: Hey Nina.
Nina: Where have you been? Do you know about Kim?
Jack: Just went to a party, she's a little late. (mouths 'help me')
Gaines: Stop that.
Jack: Sorry.
Nina: What?
Jack: Nothing. Hey Milo, how are you doing? Oops (grabs his cup of nuts and spins it around Milo's computer, then switches key cards.)
Milo: Are you okay?
Jack: Check it out Kim's naked!
Milo: Where? (turns his head, Jack runs off)
Teri: Pull over, I think I'm sick.
Kevin: Of what?
Teri: Of your bull$h!t (smacks him with a rock) Now I'm going to tie you with some rope that magically appeared for sake of story advancement. (picks up cell phone) Nina.
Jamey: Sorry, this is Jamey, are you OK?
Nina: No, I've been kidnapped, please send some CTU agents to get me.
Jamey: Sure, some of Gaines' thugs...I mean CTU agents will be by soon.
Kim: We gotta get outta here!
Rick: Didn't you already say that?
Kim: Fourteen times already.
Eli: Well hello b!tch!
Kim: Hey.
Eli: I was talking to Rick.
Rick: Oh. (Kim grabs him, they make out)
Eli: OK, I see where this is going.
Teri: Thank god you're here.
Goon #1: Actually, we're just here to kidnap you again.
Sherry: Maybe we can blackmail Maureen to dropping the story.
Palmer: It sound like you might be a little evil.
Sherry: No.
Nina: Jack you switched the cards.
Jack: Let's go for a ride and I'll mock execute you, but you'll have a vest on and be okay. Let's go go go. Here we are. (shoots her) See she's dead, let's move on.
Gaines: Okay Jack.
Kim: We're going to make it.
Teri: Help!
Kim: Mom! I've got to go help her!
Rick: Shouldn't we go call the cops or something since we know the location?
Kim: No, staying here is the best choice.
Rick: You're a strange girl.
Nina gets up, starts walking in a daze to CTU.
Nina: Relax, I don't have amnesia, unlike some characters.
