Day 2: 11:00 P.M.-12:00 Midnight - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: Mike Novik is briefing President Palmer about his phone call with Jack Bauer. In one shot Mike gets so emotionally involved in his speech to Palmer, a tear roles down his face and his eyes are glazed. The camera switches to Palmer, and in the next shot of Mike, his face is dry and his eyes are not glazed anymore.
Day 2: 11:00 P.M.-12:00 Midnight - S2-E16
Other mistake: In German Television the clock at the end switches from 23:59:59 to 23:00:00.
Day 2: 11:00 P.M.-12:00 Midnight - S2-E16
Factual error: At 18:50, Tony tells Jack that he's contacted someone at the San Jose Sheriff's Department. At 19:35 Jack calls and gets a response of "Sheriff's Department" on the line. There is no San Jose Sheriff's Department. It should have either been the San Jose Police Department or the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. (00:18:50)
Chosen answer: Nobody knew, not even the writers, until at least halfway through the season when they were writing the end. They wanted to keep all options open.
