- TriviaEven though David Palmer and Jack Bauer have had lots of conversations, Jack has only seen David Palmer face-to-face three times - twice in season 1 and one time in season 5, even though Palmer was already dead, when Jack was looking at Palmers body.
- GoofsCTU obtains video surveillance footage that implicates Jack as President Palmer's assassin, but Jack has an airtight alibi: Just before Palmer's death, he was standing in an oil field (under his assumed name), speaking to a supervisor who'd promised him a chance at some work the next day. All Jack had to do was give his alibi, and he would've been exonerated in Palmer's death.
