53, Not 24

Real life investigation doesn't fit neatly into the format of one hour TV drama. Nor does it proceed based on a single hero. The teamwork of NYPD and the FBI did result in an arrest in 53:20 from a t-shirt vendor alerting a mounted cop to a squad of Feds apprehending the suspect aboard an international flight about to depart JFK.

53, Not 24... Both Jack Bauer and his show are fiction.
