The Tragic End of the Longest Day of Jack Bauer's Life
29 October 2007
Warning: Spoilers
On the day of the California Presidential Primary, between 11:00 PM and 12:00 PM, Jack Bauer drives to the docks to trade himself for Kim. However, Nina leaks to Victor and Andre that Kim is safe and sound, and Victor orders her to tell Jack that they have killed Kim. Instead of being dazzled and confused, Jack is driven by his anger, breaks in the hideout and after a long shootout, he kills Andre, Victor and their men. David Palmer breaks definitely his relationship with the arrogant Sherry. Nina tries to escape from CTU destroying all the evidences, and Teri sees her speaking in German. Nina executes Teri and is captured alive by Jack.

The last episode of the First Season of "24" is one of the best and certainly the most tragic and dramatic. I was completely deceived by Nina, in one of the best twists I have ever seen in a film. The cold blood of Nina killing Jamey and Teri is amazing, but in the bad sense. I expected that Jack put a bullet in her forehead, but the author preferred to leave Jack grieving his loss. Unfortunately David Palmer is not real since a politician with his integrity and honesty is found only in fiction. His disappointment with Sherry, telling that she forgot how to be a mother, a friend and a wife, is one of the greatest moments of this show. The commercial alternative end on DVD is pure garbage. I found "24' one of the best TV series I have ever seen, and I got so addicted that I have seen the twenty-four episodes in about four days. Along the last weekend I saw eighteen episodes. My vote is ten.

Title (Brazil): "23:00"
