Keifer Sutherland and Elisha Cuthbert return tonight on 24!

The first scene featuring hero ex-Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer in the network’s two-day, four-hour premiere event kicking off tonight. Bauer is seated before a Congressional subcommittee, finally called to account for unlawfully torturing suspects during past emergencies, gravely declining a lawyer and browbeating his inquisitor for questioning his methods.

Bauer is whisked away from his public flogging in minutes when he is summoned by the FBI to aid in an emergency only he can handle, in the way that only he has the stomach to endure.

While the FBI worries over warrants and due process, Bauer wants to torture a suspect to help locate a surprise nemesis; his former CTU partner Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard), who seems to be working for terrorists.

24′s four hour premier starts tonight at 8PM on FOX for two hours and continues tomorrow night also at 8PM on FOX.
