Christopher Henderson is a fictional character from the television series '' 24 ''. He is played by Peter Weller . He was credited with the "and" credit (during his first episode it read "and Peter Weller as Christopher Henderson") at the end of the Guest Star list, the third person to do so, after Dennis Hopper as Victor Drazen in season 1 and Sarah Clarke as Nina Myers in seasons 2 and 3. It was Henderson that first recruited Jack Bauer into CTU . He served as a mentor and supervisor to Jack for several years. However, Jack discovered evidence that led him to believe that Henderson was taking bribes. Jack Blew The Whistle on his former friend, along with two other allegedly corrupt CTU agents. These events were mentioned in the first season of the show, when Agent Teddy Hanlin badgered Jack Bauer over putting Hanlin's partner, Seth Campbell, away for the charges. Henderson insisted that he was innocent, later suggesting that Nina Myers or George Mason set him up. Though he lost his position in CTU, Henderson managed to bounce back and became senior executive of Omicron, a major Defense Department Contractor . He supplied the shipment of Sentox nerve gas for President Charles Logan and ex-CIA agent James Nathanson 's plot to manipulate Russian separtists, and also ordered the death of David Palmer . Jack later finds a microchip that implicates Henderson in the conspiracy. Though Henderson initially attempts to convince Jack of his innocence, he later attempts to kill him, then tells a female associate that CTU does not have enough evidence to connect them to the gas. However, when Henderson returns home, Jack is waiting for him. Despite warning Jack that the information he knows would open Pandora's Box , he is taken to CTU for questioning. Even under torture, Henderson refuses to talk, and the interrogation is forced to stop. Henderson was placed in a bio-containment unit during the nerve gas attack. While Jack works to clear the gas, Tony Almeida threatens to kill Henderson for his connection to Michelle 's death. Jack talks him into waiting until they finish the interrogation. Once the gas clears, Henderson appears to be in a coma. Jack once again tries talking Tony out of killing Henderson, but Tony simply says, "He's mine now." Tony prepares a lethal injection and prepares to plunge it into Henderson's chest. Just as Tony appears to be having second thoughts, Henderson suddenly wakes up, seizes the syringe, and forces it into Tony's chest, giving him a fatal dose. He then takes Burke's firearm and escapes. Later, while driving through the streets, Henderson orders his subordinates to kill Wayne Palmer, who was apparently trying to reach the presidential retreat. Henderson's men fail to stop Palmer. By 11:00 PM it is revealed that Henderson is working under the direct orders of President Charles Logan , the apparent mastermind of the Sentox Nerve Gas Conspiracy. Logan orders him to retrieve all evidence of Logan's involvement with the gas and to eliminate anyone who knows of his involvement. Henderson tracks Bauer for several hours, attempting to kill him before he recovers an audio tape implicating Logan in Palmer's death. While Bauer gets to the audio tape, Henderson is later able to recover the tape from Bauer while holding Audrey Raines at gunpoint. He escapes with the evidence and promptly notifies Logan of his success. After leaving the airport, Henderson passes the tape off to a confederate before he is ultimately captured by Bauer. He tries to force Jack to free him by threatening to have his men kill Secretary Of Defense James Heller . The contingency plan fails when Heller drives his car off a cliff. Jack handcuffs Henderson to a pipe and leaves Audrey to watch him while he tracks the audio tape. Henderson is freed by his subordinates and he orders them to kill Audrey before she escapes, but Curtis Manning and a CTU team arrive in time to save Audrey and take Henderson into custody. TRIVIA |
