Season Overview
Season Three is set 3 years after Season Two. It takes place primarily in Los Angeles but also in northern Mexico when Jack Bauer meets with a family of drug dealers. Throughout the day, Jack Bauer and President David Palmer attempt to stop the release of a deadly virus by Stephen Saunders – a former government agent.
Like the previous two seasons, there are three main acts in the plot:
- The first act deals with the response to an imminent biological threat which is expected to be carried out unless a highly valued prisoner is released.
- The second act reveals that the entire terrorist threat was a ploy to access the real virus being auctioned in Mexico.
- In the final act, Jack and the other CTU agents race against time to recover the virus from a radicalised agent who is using it to kill civilians and manipulate foreign policy.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“At this season I seldom had a visitor. When the snow lay deepest no wanderer ventured near my house for a week or fortnight at a time, but there I lived as snug as a meadow mouse.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
