How does tony almeida survive

Jack went to see Tony, and a man named Hank attempted to kill Jack. Jack stabbed him in the neck with scissors, and learned that there was a mole inside CTU, as there was no other way for Hank to get into the building.

Tony is stabbed by Christopher Henderson. At 5 pm, Tony awoke and requested to speak to CTU. The doctors told Bill Buchanan that if he learned about Michelle's death, it could cause his recovery to setback. Bill spoke to Tony and told him that Michelle was recovering in a local hospital, and he would be able to see her soon. Tony could tell that Bill was hiding something and he looked up Michelle's profile on a CTU computer, and discovered the word deceased plastered over it.

Tony was devastated over the death of his wife, and he went back to medical. During that same hour, a man named Ostroff entered the building by using Lynn McGill 's keycard. Tony was in one of the sealed areas and was spared from the deadly nerve gas. When Tony learned that he was in the same room as Christopher Henderson , who ordered the hit on his wife, he plotted to kill him. However, Jack was able to convince Tony to hold back, as Henderson had vital information that could help the investigation on Palmer's assassination and Vladimir Bierko 's next plan.

By pm , Tony was tired of waiting and knocked out Rick Burke. Tony took a syringe and filled it with an overdose of hyoscine-pentothal , preparing to stab Henderson with it. However, Tony found himself unable to kill Henderson, who suddenly woke up and shocked Tony by stabbing him with the syringe, though Henderson purposely missed an artery, as he had no intention of killing him. Tony fell to the floor, and Jack, who was running to medical to try to stop Tony, arrived and witnessed him seizing.

He held Tony as he began to lose consciousness. Referring to Michelle, he said, "She's gone, Jack. After being "dead" for approximately ten minutes, Tony was covertly taken by David Emerson 's men, who then revived him with a hypothermic compound. Emerson, who hired former special forces soldiers to work for him, convinced Tony that the government should pay for what it did to Michelle.

Tony chose to stay with Emerson and worked for him, committing criminal acts as a mercenary. He rose to become the leader of Emerson's crew, which he headed for over 3 years. While working for Emerson, Tony began to search for the man responsible for Michelle's death.

After 3 years of searching he discovered Alan Wilson was ultimately behind it, and he was hiding behind a group of businessmen. It took him another year to get Wilson to agree to meet, which would happen after proved himself as a true believer in Wilson's cause. During this time Tony began a relationship with Cara Bowden , a lieutenant in Wilson's organization.

Sometime before Day 7 , Tony was tasked with leading Emerson's team in stealing electronic components that would be used to build a device that could break through the United States' CIP firewall.

However his main aim was always to bring down Alan Wilson's group, and he had enlisted Bill and Chloe to help track down all the elements of the cabal and bring them down after Wilson was killed. At a.

They took him back to their hideout and forced him to build a device that would be able to penetrate the Department of Homeland Security's CIP firewall.

Tony was captured when Jack Bauer was subpoenaed by the FBI to help in the investigation, but he still managed to inform Jack of his covert operation to bring down the corrupt government together with Bill and Chloe. At , when Jack and Bill planned on going to the White House to talk with the President, Tony decided to stay and follow up on a lead from someone inside David Emerson 's crew.

He met with Jack later at in front of the Capitol Building and told him that his source had revealed him of an impending attack against the President on the following hours. He also told Jack that his source didn't survive his interrogation. Tony then learned of a second attack from Jack regarding a biological weapon and the Starkwood compound. As fugitives, he and Jack had to go in alone, and whilst Jack temporarily managed to secure the weapon, Tony was captured and tortured by Starkwood.

He was saved by the FBI who attempted to find and take the bio-weapon, but Starkwood mercenaries refused to let them search the compound, threatening gunfire if they did so.

However, he was able to sneak back into the compound, identifying the canisters of the bioweapon. He destroyed the Python missiles that were loaded with it using C Once taken into federal custody after Starkwood was raided by the FBI, he appeared to help Larry Moss take down Galvez who had escaped the compound with a small canister containing the pathogen.

After Moss was shot, Tony betrayed him by smothering him to death. When Jack realized that Galvez may have had a second partner, Tony did his best to lie and cover up his own involvement.

Eventually Jack blew the whole thing open when he was informed that Tony's " source " remained alive and showed no signs of Tony's allegedly brutal interrogation. Confronted by Jack, Tony watched as his friend had a seizure before escaping the scene, shooting dead two FBI agents in the process. Tony and Bowden proceeded with a scheme which was approved by Alan Wilson and cabal of prion developers in order to shift the day's events towards framing the Muslims, specifically, a man named Jibraan Al-Zarian by forging false evidence and documents under his name and linking him to the last remaining prion variant threat.

Tony is taken into custody after his attempted murder of Alan Wilson. Taken into custody after the threat was averted, Tony was broken out by Jack, who was under duress. He suggested that they harvest the pathogen off of Jack, but as Tony later revealed to Jack, it was just a play to get to Alan Wilson, the man responsible for Michelle 's death.

He killed Bowden and confronted Wilson, yelling that he was responsible not only for Michelle's life, but the life of his son, with whom Michelle was pregnant.

Before he could take out Wilson, Renee and Jack both incapacitated him. Tony screamed at Jack in despair and fury as he was taken away by the authorities, and taken to a holding room, where he sat alone, his eyes filled with hatred. Eight years into his lifetime sentence at a federal prison, Tony appeared before the prison administrator to request his release from solitary confinement, stating that his record would allow him to infiltrate the terrorist and criminal elements in general population and inform on them for the authorities.

Appearing genuinely remorseful, Almeida begged for the opportunity to redeem himself and feel worthy of his late wife's love again. However, Vanessa Diaz , the U. Taken aback, the administrator denied Tony's request, causing Tony to attack Diaz in a murderous rage. The guards promptly intervened and escorted him back to his cell. In the struggle, however, Tony managed to steal Diaz's glasses and take them back to his cell undetected. A display in the lens contained blueprints for the facility and details of an escape plan.

The whole incident had been staged by Diaz and a third party to orchestrate Almeida's escape. After escaping prison, Tony had been doing mercenary work for several organizations and people, including Rebecca Ingram , whom he's had a past relationship with, and Director of National Intelligence Donald Simms.

After Amira Dudayev detonated an explosive device on the George Washington Bridge , Rebecca called in Tony to use enhanced interrogation on Henry Donovan , in an effort to get information on how to find Jadalla Bin-Khalid. Tony and his group of mercenaries, including his girlfriend Sidra , kidnapped Donovan and tortured him, however yielding no results. Tony provided Mullins with the means to locate her, but she was kidnapped regardless.

At Ara's safe house, Tony encountered former U. Army Ranger Eric Carter. Carter managed to take out most of Tony's team before the two engaged in hand-to-hand combat, ending with Carter breaking Tony's arm and Carter held at gunpoint by Sidra, the only other survivor of Tony's team. However, before the situation could degenerate, Tony was contacted by John Donovan who revealed that Simms was in custody, with Ara being their best chance of saving Rebecca.

Tony stood down after confirming Carter's identity and told Carter to save Rebecca, stating that he'd help if Carter hadn't broken his arm. Wiki 24 Explore. World of New York City London. Documents Weapons Guns Vehicles. Special pages Needs attention Wanted pages New article ideas.

Does Tony and Michelle get back together? Why did Nina betray Jack? Who killed Tony Almeida on 24? Why did Legacy get Cancelled? Who is the bad guy in 24? Is there a CTU in real life? Will Jack Bauer ever return to 24?

What happens to Jack's daughter in 24? Why was David Palmer killed? What did Jack Bauer whisper in Nina's ear? Is Nina bad on 24? What mental illness does Tony from skins have? While the explanation in the moment doesn't make much sense, it makes even less under a bright light. Tony knew that Henderson killed his wife and he even "died" trying to murder him, so why Henderson would think he could turn Tony against Jack is questionable. While the villain may have already had a mercenary team in place in CTU to pull him out, how he managed to explain that he faked Almeida's death and they had to immediately retrieve his body, revive it with a specific compound and pull it out without anyone noticing is even worse.

After being dead for ten minutes, even if Tony had been brought back he would likely be left brain dead too. This 24 explanation to Jack Bauer is made worse, yet again, by the fact even Tony didn't know how or why he'd been revived, despite spending years working with the mercenaries who extracted him; apparently, he just never thought to ask. Tony's arc was, overall, one of the best parts of 24 season 7, but it's clear bringing him back was never the plan. No matter how the show explained his return the logic was going to be faulty, but the route the showrunners took just resulted in more questions than answers.
