Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHarris Yulin is uncredited because he wanted to have his name credited alone like those in the lead cast and the producers said no. Supporting cast have to share with at least another supporting cast member.
- GoofsAt the beginning of the episode, Jack drives back to CTU Headquarters near downtown Los Angeles from Joseph Wald's house in Simi Valley and arrives at 12:09pm. Simi Valley is 45 miles from Central Los Angeles, which would make it impossible to drive in only nine minutes as Jack's average speed would have to have been 300 miles per hour.
- Quotes
Tony Almeida: [Across from Reza] So as Chief Financial Officer you oversee all the money that comes in and out is that right?
Reza Naiyeer: [nervously] that's right and in case you haven't noticed I'm getting married today so if we could do this another day I'd appreciate it
Tony Almeida: can you sit down please? We're not done, sit down
Tony Almeida: [Reza slowly sits down] why don't you tell me about Syed Ali
Reza Naiyeer: I told you before I don't know a Syed Ali
Tony Almeida: Oh you don't
Reza Naiyeer: No
Tony Almeida: [Looking at a computer screen in front of him on the table] then how do you explain the fact that his name is in your personal computer files?
Reza Naiyeer: [Suspiciously] don't know
Tony Almeida: You don't know?
[turns the computer around so he can see it himself]
Tony Almeida: So why don't we start again, you've been doing business with a known terrorist and you're going to sit there with a straight face and tell me you don't know what's going on?
Reza Naiyeer: I grew up in London and I married an American girl, a protestant so if you're going to racially profile me, you should at least get it right
Tony Almeida: Our main targets are European Muslims with western educations, passports and the potential to blend in into western societies. So tell me how's my racial profiling going now?
Reza Naiyeer: I want a lawyer
Tony Almeida: No
As shown in the previous episode's cliffhanger, it was Nina who gave Joseph Wald the schematics of CTU so that the building could be blown up. Back at what remains of the facility, Jack and Mason call Division to get her transferred from her prison cell for further questioning, while Tony heads off to the Warner mansion to investigate the family's alleged ties with Second Wave, the terrorist group behind the nuclear threat. The bomb is also at the center of the conversation President Palmer has with the ambassador of a country that might have financed the attack.
Despite a fine group of guest stars in Day 1 (Dennis Hopper most of all), 24 distanced itself from most other shows (sitcoms especially), which center an entire episode around the cameoing celebrity (ER, for example, became unusually guest-centric after the original cast members left, and has remained like that since), allowing instead that the supporting actors blend flawlessly with the rest of the series. However, this episode is entirely dominated by two guests: Harris Yulin and Sarah Clarke. The former, a bona fide character actor, best remembered for a sleazy minor part in De Palma's Scarface, plays NSA big shot Roger Stanton with the right mix of authority and mystery, though it sort of gives away that the guy can't be trusted that much; the latter, in spite of a limited presence (the actual interrogation doesn't take place until the sixth hour), is quietly menacing and disturbingly charming - a femme fatale for the 21st century.
