Jack and Tony begin to bury Renee Walker after Jack pretended to kill her. Jack and the orphaned refugees from the Okavango School are airlifted out of Sangala's capital, leaving hundreds of citizens behind.
Jack says goodbye to Audrey Raines at James Heller's house and walks down to a cliff over the ocean, not knowing what's going to happen next.
Jack is forced to execute Ryan Chappelle as one of Stephen Saunders' demands against releasing the weaponized virus.Įdgar Stiles succumbs to Sentox nerve gas and collapses to his death while Chloe O'Brian and the rest of the survivors at the Situation Room watch helplessly, trapped by the nerve gas. George Mason, dying of radiation poisoning, turns over command to Tony Almeida and sadly departs CTU for the final time.ĭuring his morning address to the nation, President David Palmer is victimized by an assassination attempt by Mandy and collapses to the ground in front of the crowd. Jack, after returning from the Drazen's hideout, searches for Teri Bauer at CTU, only to find that she and their unborn child have been killed by Nina Myers. Both clocks are accompanied by the sound of breathing.
The silent clock following David Palmer's assassination attempt at the end of Day 2, as well as the first one during Day 7 (as Renee Walker was being buried alive) were used to create tension and highlight the seriousness of the situation, in contrast to the usual somber nature of silent clock scenes. The second silent clock during Day 7 was while Jack was mourning Bill's death, in a way not dissimilar to the one in Redemption when he was contemplating the death of long time friend Carl Benton. The silence is often used to convey sadness at a certain situation. As well as occurring in this way for Teri and Chappelle, the silent clock during Day 5 commemorated Edgar Stiles' death, during Day 8 for Renee Walker's death, during Day 7 representing Bill Buchanan's sacrifice, during Day 8 commemorated President Omar Hassan's murder and the honorable way in which he died, and the silent clock in Day 9 for Audrey Boudreau's death. By contrast, there was also no split screen leading to the final moments of " Day 6: 5:00am-6:00am," but instead of heightening tension, this omission was to preserve the tenderness of the farewell between Jack and Audrey.Īs stated above, the silence can be used to signal the passing of a character in the show. Immediately preceding Ryan Chappelle's death, there was no split screen, possibly to create the expectation that the episode was not quite over and he would somehow escape, until the appearance of the silent clock, confirming that he had indeed died. Upon the death of Teri Bauer, the screen was split between the scene of Jack cradling Teri's body alongside black and white clips from " Day 1: 12:00am-1:00am" to show that Nina Myers had taken away the life from the Bauer family. The effect of the silent clock could be accentuated by the split screen that is put in place immediately prior, depending on the circumstances. The silent clock has been used fourteen times: once per season in seasons 1, 3, 5, 6, and 24: Legacy, once in 24: Redemption, twice in seasons 2, 7, 8, and 9, but not at all in Season 4. During twelve out of the thirteen total silent clocks, other sounds are audible: the majority of the silent clocks were accompanied by noises in the background, and some had faint music accompaniment. Additionally, "silent" refers only to the lack of beeping sounds. Eight of them took place around the time of the death of a significant character the other six did not.īecause of often drastically varying circumstances, as well as the infrequency of the silent clock, there does not appear to be a strict pattern for use of the device. It occurred fourteen times and was used to punctuate the endings of highly emotional scenes. The silent clock from the end of Season 6Ī silent clock is a rare occurrence on 24 in which the digital clock displayed at the end of a scene or episode is silent, without the typical beeping of the clock.
