Additionally, "24: Conspiracy," minute-long Mobisodes (mobile phone episodes), 12 episodes in all, were created in 2005 as a promotion for Season Four.

Season overview

Season Four is set 18 months after Season Three. Jack is now working for Secretary of Defense James Heller after being fired by CTU due to his heroin addiction. As the day begins, he gets caught up in an elaborate terrorist plot which involves both men and the daughter of Heller, Audrey Raines, who doubles as her father's chief policy assistant and Jack's lover. Jack is reinstated as CTU Director of Field Operations by Erin Driscoll, the Chief Director of CTU and the woman who fired him, who may have realized it was a mistake to remove him in the first place.

Unlike previous seasons, which focused on a singular threat, multiple enemies, and conspiracies, this season is based around one main enemy: a terrorist named Habib Marwan who controls a series of Middle Eastern terrorist cells that launch a series of attacks against the United States. This was somewhat accidental; Marwan was originally intended to only appear in six episodes, but the producers were so impressed by Arnold Vosloo's performance that Marwan became the season's main villain.

Day 4 also takes a different approach in its storytelling. Rather than two large acts, this season is divided into several smaller acts depending on what terrorist threat Marwan came up with.

  1. The kidnapping and planned broadcast of the execution of the Secretary of Defense.
  2. Nuclear power plants across America are sent into a forced meltdown.
  3. Terrorists steal a stealth fighter to shoot down Air Force One.
  4. Jack and Marwan scramble to get a hold of the nuclear football.
  5. The terrorists steal and launch a nuclear missile.

Major plots and subplots

  • A mole is revealed to be working inside CTU, aiding the terrorists.
  • The bombing of a commuter train which allows the theft of a device known as the Dobsen-type Override which could be used to take control of (and meltdown) United States nuclear power plants.
  • The kidnapping of Secretary of Defense James Heller and Audrey Raines which is broadcast over the Internet. Both hostages were rescued by CTU before their executions could take place.
    • the use of the override requires a surge in Internet traffic, presumably to overcome security at nuclear plants nationwide, as the attempt is masked by the Internet chaos caused by the mass streaming of videos regarding the kidnapping of the Secretary of Defense and his near-execution.
  • The override being used, causing a meltdown in the San Gabriel Island reactor. This distracts CTU director Erin Driscoll from checking on her mentally ill daughter, who commits suicide. In an effort to cover-up their complicity and erase computer records, McLennen-Forster the defense contractor that developed the override activates an EMP that also causes a blackout over an 8-square-mile (21 km2) section of downtown Los Angeles.
  • The resulting turmoil from the near-meltdown and EMP allows a stealth fighter to be stolen from an Air Force base in Southern California. The stolen stealth fighter shoots down Air Force One, which crashes into the Mojave Desert, almost killing President Keeler in the process and elevating the Vice-President Charles Logan under the 25th Amendment. Terrorists attempt to steal the nuclear football from the Air Force One crash site.
  • A nuclear warhead in Iowa is purloined and fired at Los Angeles before its nuclear code can be deactivated.
  • A Chinese national at the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles is revealed to be complicit and is captured by CTU. In the process, the Chinese Consul is killed by friendly fire (the American agents never fired a shot during the mission), leading to a serious diplomatic problem with China. The Chinese government begins investigating the raid at the Chinese Consulate and begins to suspect CTU's involvement.
    • Logan's administration attempts to frame Jack Bauer as acting against authorization by the US Government. David Palmer warns Jack that someone in the administration is trying to have Jack conveniently killed, causing Jack to perform a pseudocide with four conspirators: Palmer, Michelle Dessler, Tony Almeida, and Chloe O'Brian.

Season notes

Continuous airing

The Fox Network decided to implement a year-round schedule because episodes of the show would be broadcast irregularly due to the fact that Fox had recently obtained the rights to air the World Series for several years. Thus, FOX chose to air all 24 episodes, without any hiatuses, over 19 weeks beginning mid-season—with back-to-back episodes airing twice in the first week, and again at the season finale.[3] Utilizing the extra time this opportunity afforded the writers, Season Four's later premiere date allowed the creators to go back to previous episodes and fill in continuity errors and plot holes, making the episode transitions more fluid and realistic.

Depiction of torture

In the wake of the real-life Abu Ghraib scandal and similar allegations at other U.S. military facilities housing suspected terrorists, commentators accused the show of legitimizing the use of torture in the war on terror.[4] In an interview with Charlie Rose, Kiefer Sutherland commented on the show's use of torture and how it relates to the recent controversies over government sanctioned torture. "Do I personally believe that the police or any of these other legal agencies that are working for this government should be entitled to interrogate people and do the things that I do on the show? No, I do not."[5]

Jack Bauer's moral choices

This season examines the consequences of Jack Bauer's belief that the end justifies the means. This question was relevant to U.S. politics and public opinion at the time of airing following the 2004 Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse involving U.S. military personnel in Iraq.

Jack Bauer's belief ultimately prevents a nuclear attack, but there are several consequences to his actions:

  • Several innocent people lose their lives including Paul Raines and the Chinese Consul, though the Consul was killed by his own men.
  • Dina Araz is killed in a risky sting operation.
  • Audrey Raines is alienated from him first by his torture of Paul Raines and later causing his death by forcing the only available surgeon to stop work on Raines in order to save a suspect in critical condition.
  • He has to fake his own death and assume a new identity because of the fallout from the operation at the Chinese Consulate, but mostly after Palmer warned him of an attempt on his own life.

Characters

Jack Bauer and Audrey Raines.
For a more thorough list, see List of 24 characters#24: Season 4.

When the season began, every character from the first three seasons was absent except for Jack Bauer, President Keeler (Palmer's Republican opponent in season 3), and Chloe O'Brian. However, as the season went on several characters returned, including Tony Almeida, Michelle Dessler, Mike Novick, David Palmer, Aaron Pierce, and Mandy, the assassin from seasons 1 and 2.

Season Four provided viewers with several new characters. One of the new characters, Erin Driscoll, is involved in a subplot that involves her daughter's schizophrenia. Driscoll's daughter, Maya, ends up committing suicide. As a result, Driscoll leaves CTU.

The season featured many cast changes throughout the season, more so than previous seasons. The season began with Kiefer Sutherland, Kim Raver, Alberta Watson and William Devane as the main cast. Watson left after 12 episodes, Lana Parrilla—upgraded from recurring to the main cast in episode 6—was gone by episode 13, and Roger Cross was upgraded from recurring to the main cast in episode 18. Devane then left after episode 14 since he was filming for Stargate SG-1 at the time, and then returned for one episode later in the season.

However CTU is soon able to determine from Marwan's PDA that the location for the missile is Los Angeles, and it is shot down as it approaches. The Chinese demand that Logan have Jack handed over to them to avoid an international incident. Logan's security chief Walt Cummings (John Allen Nelson) has plans to have Jack killed so that he won't divulge security information to the Chinese while in captivity. Although Logan shoots this idea down publicly, Mike overhears a telephone call conversation between Cummings and his Secret Service henchman arranging this regardless and Palmer manages to warn Jack. With help from Palmer, Tony, Michelle, and Chloe, Jack fakes his own death after a brief gun battle with the Secret Service agent, assumes a new identity, and leaves to begin a new life.
