Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] Day 1

Milo is an independent technological contractor who was brought in to CTU around 5:37 A.M of Day 1 to work on a key card that was left by now dead agent Richard Walsh. The key card says who the shooter will be to try and kill Senator David Palmer. For the first few hours when he is at CTU he is breaking into the keycard before Jack Bauer is forced to switch the key card with a fake one for villain Ira Gaines. Milo then figures out that he has been working with a different key card, and he suspects that Jack may have switched it when he came to his desk. After Jamey Farrell is revealed as a mole, agent Nina Myers has Milo research Gaines’ identity, putting Milo in charge of all Jamey’s projects. Although Milo has narrowed the missing Teri Bauer’s location down, it is still too large of an area to pinpoint the exact spot. Agent Tony Almeida finds an encrypted email on Jamey’s computer and has Milo decode it. Milo then looks to find the remaining shooters. At CTU, Milo briefs Jack about the three possible shooters he uncovered. One of them is Alexis, Victor Drazen’s son who had been trained in Belgrade’s special forces. Milo forwards the photos of the suspected assassins to the Secret Service, and Agent Pierce shows them to the assembled Palmer campaign team. Milo's last act for the day was notifying Jack that Robert Ellis (the connection between Bauer and Palmer to Operation Nightfall) was found murdered in New Orleans.

Pressman does not appear again over the course of the season, but it is presumed he worked at CTU for the rest of the day until the crisis was finally over. Milo's abrupt disappearance was due to the fact that Eric Balfour was busy shooting a movie during the course of filming. In the Season 1 DVD it is explained he was supposed to appear in the season's final episode. At the moment his status is unknown, but fans believe he is still working at Division as a Freelance Contractor. He also appears in the 24: Declassified prequel novels Operation Hell Gate and Trojan Horse, by Marc Cerasini.
