About True Faith
Of all the relationships on 24, perhaps the most overlooked is the one between
Tony and Kim. The simple, perfect sense of complete trust, faith, caring and
respect inherent
in this relationship is truly exceptional.
These two characters have a long history together, and are bound forever by
their shared triumphs and tragedies.

A Brief History of Tony and Kim
During the first season of 24, Tony and Kim did not know each other at all. However,
despite her youth and inexperience, the fact that Tony risked his own career,
reputation and freedom to protect her and help her father Jack was not lost on
Kim. Since the moment when the three of them - Tony, Kim and Jack - were inextricably
bound forever by the betrayal of Nina Myers and the death of Teri Bauer, Kim
has followed her father's lead and placed her complete faith
and
trust
in
Tony.
In the second season, when Jack returns to CTU to help try and stop a nuclear
bomb, one of his main conditions is that CTU do everything in its power to protect
Kim and get her out of LA. However, Tony is the only person who stays true to
this promise to Jack, and the only one who seems to care about what happens to
Kim. Hence, he is Kim's main link to her father while he is out in the field.
When Kim needs help sorting out some legal problems at the end of season 2, Tony
uses his position at CTU to get Kim out of trouble.
In the third season, Kim has developed her taste for a life in intelligence and
she is working for Tony at CTU as a low-level analyst. At this point in the series,
CTU has become very much a close-knit family, and Tony definitely favours Kim
over the rest of his staff because of their personal relationship and history.
In the thick of an investigation into a deadly virus threat at the hands of terrorists,
Tony brings Kim in to deep levels of the investigation, despite her inexperience.
Kim trusts Tony absolutely and the respect they have for each other runs deep.
When CTU discovers that Nina Myers, the former CTU double agent who killed Kim's
mother, is involved in brokering a deal to buy a deadly virus, and that Jack
is working with Nina undercover, Kim is outraged and upset. Tony, the only one
who understands her feelings, takes her under his wing and helps her get through
it.
Later, CTU needs a decoy double to pose as a material witness in order to gain
leverage against the leader of the conspiracy to release the virus. The only
agent who matches both physically and geographically is Kim. Although Tony does
not want to put Kim in danger, he also has faith and confidence that she is truly
dedicated to the job and can handle the pressure. He offers her the assignment,
which she eagerly accepts.This doesn't sit so well with Jack, but Kim and Tony
stand shoulder to shoulder. Tony is able to see Kim in a light that Jack is not,
and they eventually
convince Jack to go ahead with the operation.
Just as Jack and Tony are brothers in arms, Tony accepts Kim as his surrogate
niece and protoge, seeing in her the intelligence and dedication required of
her to do this job. Kim too trusts in Tony, and the bond they have as a result
of their shared experience will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
