- Quotes
Tony Almeida: Are your people ready?
Michelle Dessler: Yeah, their waiting
Tony Almeida: What about Chloe?
Michelle Dessler: Yeah, she's there too
Tony Almeida: Alright this is our one chance to get the virus so make sure their all aware of what's at stake
Michelle Dessler: Their aware
Tony Almeida: I'm just saying it's all going to come down in the next hour
Michelle Dessler: I know, you don't have to keep reminding me
Tony Almeida: [Aggressively] yes, I do
Tony Almeida: Look, too many things could go wrong here and we don't need another mistake
Tony Almeida: [Realizes he needs to calm down and takes a breath] so, have we had any communication from Jack in the last few minutes?
Michelle Dessler: No, his still with Nina and the Salazar's
Tony Almeida: [Before walking away] alright
So far, Ramon Salazar has been consumed by the wish to kill Jack for what happened in the past, whereas his brother Hector insisted on trusting him. Now, with Hector convinced something's wrong, the logical next step would have been to shoot Jack. Instead, Ramon kills Hector and decides to go through with the acquisition of the virus. Jack and Nina go with him, but everything gets off track when the CTU intervenes and Ramon escapes with the virus. Meanwhile, in L.A., Sherry is looking for something she can use against Alan Milliken, and comes really close to a foolproof witness of the billionaire's dirty secrets.
The first half of Day Three is finally over, and it does end with quite a bang: the manhunt that ensues when Ramon gets away is worthy of Michael Mann at his best, and the surprise ending (what else could it have been?) is a clear indication of things getting rougher in the remaining twelve episodes. This hour also shows Joaquim de Almeida at his most villainous, even scarier than he was nine years earlier in Robert Rodriguez's Desperado. It's a masterclass in pure evil that yet again shows how truly memorable the villains in this series can be.
