Appearances

Day 1

Nina withstands much scrutiny and helps Jack Bauer immensely, and frequently without official permission, during the first several hours of Day 1 when Ira Gaines is in charge of the plan to kill Senator David Palmer, controlling Jack with the threat of murdering his kidnapped daughter Kim Bauer, and wife Teri Bauer. We learn that Nina had an affair with Jack while he was temporarily separated from his wife Teri, but this has since ended and she is now romantically involved with colleague Tony Almeida.

Once CTU analyst Jamey Farrell is revealed as a mole, Tony and Nina interrogate her. It is initially thought that Jamey commits suicide while being held in custody by them but it is revealed towards the end of the day that it was, in fact, Nina. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...


Gaines orders Jack to kill Nina. He takes her out of CTU and to a desolate field where he shoots her, however Jack has slipped a flak jacket onto Nina before moving her from CTU. Nina is involved in the debrief of Kim and Teri at the safe house. Teri correctly guesses that Nina and Jack had had an affair during Jack and Teri's trial separation, angering Teri. An uncomfortable Nina leaves the safe house to return to CTU. After this the house is attacked; Kim and Teri escape but are separated. Nina continues to assist in CTU activities but is unable to contact Jack to inform him of Kim and Teri's status as missing. A flak jacket is a form of protective clothing originally developed by the Wilkinson Sword company during World War II to help protect Royal Air Force (RAF) air personnel from the flying debris and shrapnel thrown by German anti-aircraft guns flak (Fliegerabwehrkanone), a type of exploding shell. ...


Just before 11.00 pm it is revealed to viewers that Nina is a mole working for Victor Drazen when she contacts his son Andre Drazen directly to reveal that, despite the intentionally misleading press reports, the attempt on David Palmer's life using a booby-trapped telephone has actually been unsuccessful. In discussions with the Drazens she uses the first name Yelena. As a result of this information the Drazens cancel the planned deal that Jack should surrender to them to secure the release of Kim who they have recaptured. The Drazens plan a trap for Jack and order Nina to inform him Kim has been killed to provoke him to attack the Drazens, allowing them to kill him. Nina indeed tells Jack that Kim's body has been found by the Coast Guard, but their gamble fails when Jack, in a murderous rage, single-handedly kills both Drazens and their remaining henchmen in retaliation. Victor Drazen is a fictional character in the TV series 24. ... Andre Drazen is a fictional character in the first season TV series 24. ...


With Jack's survival, Nina's cover is blown. Jack finally confirms she is the mole be viewing the video surveillance footage from the room where Jamey Farrell was being held. The footages shows that she did not commit suicide - Nina murdered her. Unmasked, Nina begins "exfiltration" from CTU, removing incriminating files and discussing her escape plans with an unknown female contact over the telephone in German. When Nina is interrupted by a CTU technician, Nina kills her. Teri Bauer has been at CTU for several hours but has been getting the run around from George Mason about Kim's and Jack's whereabouts and activities. With Jack's continued absence Teri seeks out Nina, and overhears her discussion in the language she identifies as German. Nina merely states she is in conference with CTU's Frankfurt branch. When Teri discovers the body of the murdered CTU technician in the room Nina gags her and binds her to a chair. Nina completes her "exfiltration" and in a subsequent telephone call to her associate is told she will be moved to Germany, and to remove any trace of the German link. Nina prepares to leave the room, telling Teri someone will find her. George Mason was a fictional character in the Fox television series 24. ...


A returning Jack manages to apprehend Nina as she is attempting to escape the parking garage of CTU. Jack seems poised to shoot her dead, telling Nina emotionally "I trusted you.." She says that if he kills her he will not know who she works for. George Mason and Tony Almeida convince Jack to not kill her; Jack releases her and she is taken into custody. Jack enters CTU and is reunited with Kim. In a search of CTU he soon discovers Teri still bound to the chair: she is dead, murdered by Nina.


Day 2

Bauer traces the person who sold the plans about CTU to a group that linked it to her. He brings her in, and she demands a presidential pardon, but once she receives it, has additional stipulations. Jack is unwilling to deal with her, and scares her enough into revealing Mamud Faheen's location. He captures Faheen after she locates him, but she somehow alerts him to the presence of the CTU agents, forcing them to raid Faheen's location. Myers escapes but Jack recaptures her. A pardon is the forgiveness of a crime and the penalty associated with it. ...


Nina interrogates Faheen on Jack's behalf and after learning Ali's location kills Faheen. As she demands further terms for her deal, the plane is hit by surface-to-air missiles. The plane crashes, leaving Jack and Nina to be pursued by the Coral Snake Unit. Jack keeps Nina in restraints but leaves her with ammunition and spotter duties while Jack fires upon the advancing soldiers using Nina's observations. Unknown to Jack, Nina keeps one magazine for herself and, after fooling him into tossing aside his empty rifle, picks it up, reloads it, and holds him hostage. CTU agents arrive and Nina demands to speak to the President Palmer concerning a presidential pardon for her past crimes and one for the future murder of Jack Bauer. Palmer agrees, but a CTU sniper wounds Myers and she is recaptured. Palmer lives up to his end of the agreement, though he does place her in custody in Los Angeles, the target of the nuclear bomb, to share in the fate of everybody else.

Day 3

Bauer encounters Myers again in Mexico while both are attempting to buy a deadly biological weapon. While she attempts to back out when it is revealed that Jack is involved, the seller Michael Amador forces her to stay by reminding her that her buyer will kill her if she doesn't deliver. She wins the auction, but is followed and nearly captured by Jack in hopes of implementing a deal. She turns the cards in her favor, knocking him unconscious. When he awakens, she questions his motives, and while he tries to tell her that he is working separately from CTU, she doesn't believe him. She implores him to "convince me," resulting in a kiss. She realises he is lying however and pulls away only to be captured by him and forced to comply with his wishes.

Nina is soon captured after briefly taking Chase Edmunds hostage. She is taken on a flight back to Los Angeles, to be interrogated at CTU headquarters. On the plane, she manipulates Bauer into unleashing a computer virus into CTU's system under the pretence of giving him a phone number.

At CTU, Myers is interrogated by her former lover Tony Almeida. She reveals no information, only making sarcastic references to their previous relationship and his new marriage. He eventually gives in and tries to extract information from her. As she is being tortured, Nina pushes back, and causes the interrogator's needle to pierce her carotid artery. She is rushed to the clinic at CTU, where doctors are able to get a makeshift bandage in place. Bauer is uncomfortable with the idea of her being left unguarded, but barely has time to express his hesitation before an alarm goes off, signaling her escape. Nina has prevented herself from being tranquilized and after the bandage is in place, kills several doctors and security personnel before escaping.

She is cornered by Bauer's daughter Kim, who points a gun at her and demands that she surrender.

Then Jack arrives and shoots Myers in the shoulder as she is about to shoot Kim. Jack then sends Kim away and shoots and kills Nina in cold blood as she lies on the floor.

Background

Little is known about Nina's history or motives related to her acts of treason. When Tony Almeida asked her for an explanation during Day 3, she casually dismissed his question without offering an answer. Myers is featured very briefly in 24: The Game. It is not clear who she was working for. Some fans speculate that it may have been Max, the main villain of season 2 and 24: The Game, but he is dead before season 3 begins. The most likely analysis of her character is that she was motivated purely by money, and would have sold any information to the highest bidder regardless of his affiliation, beliefs or goals, as Jack suggests in Season 2, saying she is "worse than a traitor." In Season 3, it is revealed that Nina had a relationship with Marcus Alvers, the degree of which is unknown, although when Tony mentions that Alvers is being treated for HIV, Nina shows a nervous reaction that could indicate an intimate relationship. Season Three, also known as Day 3 of the television series 24 premiered in America on October 28, 2003 and aired its season finale on May 25, 2004. ... Max is a fictional character from the TV series 24. ... {{{1}}} Marcus Alvers was a fictional terrorist in TV series 24 during season 3. ...
