Season 5, Episode 17
9/10
Jack Bauer, federal fugitive
18 May 2017
The big bombshell has been dropped and the President has been implicated in David Palmer's assassination (hell, more than implicated, he's high up on that food chain). And as such, he's issued an arrest warrant for Jack (there's some serious weight).meanwhile, our hero's back in stealth mode, sneaking around military checkpoints as he tracks down evidence.

Gregory Itzin does a nice job with an abrupt villainous turn. It's funny, just one episode prior, the VP (Ray wise) was the bad guy for using Logan as a pawn in his big takeover bid for the oval office; and now it's the Prez calling the shots.

There's a lot of spycraft here with CTU tailing Audrey, Chloe running interference, the search for the recording, etc.; and the wanted-man setup makes for some nice atmosphere. It's a great episode, high on what jack foes best.

9/10
