Kate Morgan is a fictional character in the TV series 24. She is a brilliant but impulsive CIA field operative in London. She is the widow of a former CIA agent who was disgraced for allegedly selling classified information to the Chinese and committed suicide while in custody. She is played by Yvonne Strahovski in 24: Live Another Day.
Kate is the widow of former CIA agent Adam Morgan, who committed suicide after he was indicted for selling U.S. state secrets to the Chinese. Prosecutors intended to try Morgan for treason, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. It is because of this that Kate's colleague Erik Ritter held a strong dislike for her, believing that she was well aware of her husband's alleged treason, despite her pleas of innocence. For two months after Adam was accused of being a traitor Kate was questioned by the CIA but was eventually cleared of wrongdoing. Despite being cleared, she was scheduled to be transferred back to the U.S. for reassignment.
Shortly after Jack Bauer's apprehension by the CIA a few minutes after 11:00 A.M., Kate was the first of the CIA members to be suspicious that Jack had ulterior motives and voluntarily allowed himself to be captured since he could have easily escaped from the roof, and that he is not careless enough to be captured after having been off the grid for four years. Kate also figured he is there to break someone out, when her suspicions grew that Jack planted the intercept from Prague himself. Locking herself up in his holding room shortly before his transfer to Special Activities, she managed to make the calm Jack's pulse jump by mentioning he is there for someone. Her involuntary actions forced her supervisor Steve Navarro to bump up her leave and had her immediately leave the CIA headquarters. While leaving, Kate tased her escort and gave chase after Jack, who had freed another captive, his close friend and accomplice Chloe O'Brian out of Special Activities. Kate cornered Jack and forced him to surrender, but he pressed a signal in his hand, alerting his outside accomplice, who blew a hole in the roof with a rocket launcher, helping Chloe and Jack escape. Despite being on leave, Kate pleaded with Navarro to put her back on the case, which he agreed to.
After Jack and Chloe's escape, Kate had a friend, Ken (who works for a local police department) look into Chloe's phone, managing to track her and Jack down to the housing project where Jack had tracked Derrick Yates and his men to. Kate and the CIA apprehended Jack while he was trying to catch Yates, where he attempted to warn her before being shot in the arm by Aron Bashir, Yates' drug dealer who had survived Jack's attack in the apartment. Jack fled downstairs to a parking lot, where he captures Kate and informs her that he is trying to protect President James Heller and she was getting in the way of him doing his job. Jack knocked her out with a headbutt and escaped. She later tracks Jack down at the U.S. embassy in London and ends up helping him by getting the flight key for the drone that was used to kill the four servicemembers in Afghanistan.
