Hello everyone! In this Podcast I will be recapping what happened during one week's episode of my favorite Television show, 24. Here is a brief overveiw of what has happened so far in the season.. There is a group of men called Starkwood and they are in possession of a biological weapon which they are threatening to use against American civilians if their demands are not met. The main character, Jack Bauer was exposed to this poisonous gas when he attempted to recover it from the Starkwood men. This bio-weapon is a deadly gas and there is no cure for it. However, there is an experimental procedure for it that requires the stem cells of a blood relative. Jack does have a daughter, Kim, but they have no spoken in years and he does not want to contact her or put her through the pain of going through a procedure to give some of her stem cells. Now for last week's episode, which aired on April thirteenth..The President of the Uniter States is about to have a meeting with the head man of Starkwood, Jonas Hodges. Jonas told the President if she didn't meet with him he would release missles which are loaded with the bio-weapon. This type of attack would undoubtedly kill tens of thousands of people. Even though Jack is quickly becoming sick due to the gas he was exposed to, he still wants to help FBA find the bio-weapon. One of Jack's friends, an old partner of his, Tony Almeida has managed to sneak into the Starkwood compound. Jack and Tony then develop a plan to destroy the missles so Jonas Hodges can no longer be in control and threaten the President. Tony thinks he has found a way to get into where the missles are being held and blow them up so they are no longer useful. After a tense, nail biting scene where Tony drops the device he was going to use to blow up the missles, he finally retrieves it and is able to and the poisonous bio-weapons are destroyed. FBI agent, Renee Walker has been working with Jack all day. She knows he is sick and about the experimental steam-cell procedure that could possibly save his life. Because of this, Renee took the liberty of contacting Jack's only daughter, Kim to tell her about the procedure and her dad's condition. Kim decided to go to the FBI to see her dad but when Jack found out she was there, he was very upset. He didn't want her to be involved or be put at risk during the experimental procedure. However, after Jack sat down and talked with Kim he was very glad he was able to see her again after so long. They were able to talk things out and forgive each other for their rocky past. Jack then asked Kim to leave because he didn't want her around to see him get sick. Once Kim left, we didn't get the impression that she was going to do the procedure but hopefully she does even though her father said not to. As the episode gets closer to the end, we think the bio-weapon crisis has been solved. However, with only minuets left in the episode, we see a mysterious man inside the Starkwood compound among FBI agents who were cleaning up on the scene. This man attack a FBI agent and proceeds to kill him but not before the FBI agent sent out a warning that there was an unidentified man on the compound. It turns out this man had one last canister of the bio-weapon which he was trying to smuggle out of the compound. Once the rest of the FBI agents are informed that the mysterious man has escaped with a canister of the weapon, the head agent on site, Larry Moss gets into a helicopter with Tony Almeida to follow him. The man takes them to an empty warehouse where they land the helicopter. They then break out into a firefight where Larry is wounded. As the mysterious man approaches Larry lying on the ground, Tony signals the man to stop and he surprisingly does. It seems as if Tony know him, and it turns out he did and they were working together. Tony then tells Larry he is "sorry" and then proceeds to cup his hands over Larry's mouth to suffciate him and this ends up killing him. Tony then turns to the mysterious man and says "let me see the canister". After he sees it, he tells the man to leave and that he will figure out some way to get the FBI off of him and make sure he is safe. This entire sequence of events was a complete "shocker" to me because Tony has always been one of the "good guys". Earlier in the season he was an "undercover" bad guy so that makes me think he was never really "undercover" and he was playing Jack and the FBI this whole time. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens in the upcoming episodes of 24! But hopefully Tony turns out to be the good guy we all know him to be! This has been a Sarah Whaley podcast! Thanks for listening and I will see you next week!
