Meanwhile, Palmer, unaware of the assassination plot, receives a phone call from a dogged reporter who says she has evidence that his son Keith (Vicellous Reon Shannon) committed murder.
Jack's mission is made even more difficult when he learns from his boss Richard Walsh (Michael O'Neill) that someone within CTU may be a mole involved with the foreign-based conspiracy.
Shortly after midnight on the morning of the California Democratic presidential primary, Jack receives information that an assassination attempt will be carried out against Maryland senator David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert)-the first African-American with a legitimate chance of capturing the White House-sometime within the next 24 hours. He's also a married man who is attempting to rebuild a trust-depleted relationship with his wife Teri (Leslie Hope), and a father to independent-minded teen daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert). Bauer is the director of the Counter Terrorist Unit in Los Angeles.

In episode one he briefly took the form of a cat. This is not the first time that we’ve seen Dream look different, however. From Nada’s point of view, Morpheus is a handsome black man named Kai’ckul (played by Ernest Kingsley Jnr). The Endless appear in different forms to different people. We also don’t get to meet Beelzebub and Azazel – the two co-monarchs of Hell who rule alongside Lucifer in the comics. It’s understandable that the showrunners would want to use Christie more, but her defeat here does slightly undermine the character. In the comic, Dream is simply battling Choronzon for the helm. Both are pretty faithful to the source material, though once again the DC universe elements have been removed – in the original version Dream meets the Martian Manhunter! Rosemary also doesn’t make it out alive in the original, with John shooting her dead. This episode is a smart mash-up of two issues of the comic: #4 (A Hope In Hell) and #5 (Passengers). It will keep her safe from harm and, besides, now that he has Dream's ruby – obtained in the episode’s closing moments – there’s nothing standing in the way of his plan to remake the world in his own image. He lets Rosemary go, even giving her the amulet. He’s a terribly broken man but not, perhaps, an entirely evil one. It’s a touching moment, beautifully performed by both Niles and Thewlis and it helps humanize Dee more. She doesn’t judge him and, when the opportunity comes for her to escape unharmed, her instinct is to offer him further help instead. She feels sympathy for him and empathizes with his difficult upbringing. As they drive through the night, however, she begins to realize that she’s made a terrible mistake - especially when she asks a gas station attendant for help and he is gruesomely annihilated by John’s amulet of protection.ĭespite all of this, Rosemary eventually builds a strange bond with her deadly passenger. A good samaritan named Rosemary (Sarah Niles) has stopped to offer him a lift. Meanwhile, in the waking world, John Dee is on a journey of his own. Something about the lighting and compositing in Lucifer's palace, especially, gives everything a distractingly stagey look. Hell is a combination of sets and CGI and sometimes the two very visibly do not gel. These scenes are the heart of the episode, but they're unfortunately undermined by some iffy visual effects.
