"24"

So anyway . . . Sunday night . . . whewwwwwwwww!!!! . . . this terrorist who had foolishly used a credit card allowing CTU to track him . . . he knew the jig was up and called his head honcho . . . who sent this American turncoat to pick him up . . . and the American guy sniffs it out that this terrorist guy is going to kill him, too . . . so he shoots the terrorist right as CTU is closing in on the both of them . . . says this terrorist was going to kill him and he acted in self-defense . . . so the head honcho terrorist gets wind of what happened and calls some outfit called "Global Amnesty" and tells them that this turncoat needs a lawyer immediately . . . and right when CTU is about to get in to a no holds barred interrogation . . . this lawyer character from Global Amnesty shows up with an order signed by some hand wringing, left-wing federal judge that prohibits CTU from questioning the guy . . . worried about this guy's so-called "Constitutional rights" . . .well, needless to say, Jack gets back to CTU, finds out what's going on and absolutely goes through the roof! . . . asks for a moment alone with this guy's mouthpiece . . . tries to be civil, patiently explains that a nuclear warhead is going to go off unless this guy spills his guts . . . still no dice . . . now, the President has been incapcitated, as these terrorists blew his plane out of the sky in one of the shows I missed because the Phillies-Rockies game went long . . . but this Vice-President who got sworn in . . . absolutely spineless . . . won't let Jack take the actions necessary and specifically forbids CTU from questioning the subject while he's in custody . . . but Jack's not licked quite yet . . . Jack write a letter of resignation from CTU . . . then CTU releases the suspect from its custody . . . Jack's lurking out in the parking lot . . . and when the guy gets in a car, Jack puts a gun to him and instructs the guy to handcuff his own arm to one of those things you hold on to in a car when it makes a turn . . . and then Jack tells the guy in a way that does not invite debate that he has one final chance to tell Jack what he needs to know . . . the guy continues to say that he doesn't know anything . . . so Jack gets a firm grip on this character's thumb . . . and this is always the best part of the show, when the viewer knows that justice is about to prevail . . . Jacks wrenches the guy's thumb and it snaps like a dry twig . . . this character only manages to hold out through the index finger and then was more than happy to tell Jack whatever he wanted to know . . .
