Jack planted a bug on Charles Logan.

Turns out Suvarov's the one who gave the order for Renee to be killed.

I think Jack's targeted Suvarov.

Does Jack have a recording of that conversation? - Yeah.

Good. We're gonna need it.

Chloe, I don't know that getting proof is our first priority anymore.

We can't stand by and let Jack assassinate the president of Russia.

You knew the Russians were behind my husband's death, and you said nothing?

I will not make peace...

with the people who murdered my husband or with you.

You will sign the treaty your husband and I agreed to.

I will not. You will.

Because if you don't, my administration...

will retaliate against the I.R.K...

with the full force of the American military.

We'll find Bauer. It's only a question of time.

Maybe a little quicker than you thought.

I came in after Hassan and Renee Walker were killed.

I didn't have anything to do with that. You have to believe me.

Get on your knees. Please, Bauer, I'm telling you the truth.

I've got a family, I've got a little girl.

I just got a call from Arlo.

He picked up a facial recognition hit on Jack.

Where? Across the street from the U.N.

I'm gonna go find him. Give me 20 minutes.

If you don't hear from me, sound the alarm about Jack, and secure Suvarov.

What the hell are you doing here?

If I don't get you out of here in 10 minutes,

Cole's gonna send in every agent we have.

- You should let them after me. - You're my friend.

- I didn't have a choice. - Neither do I.

I have a 556 rifle pointed straight at your head.

You need to do exactly what I say. Do you understand?

- What do you want? - I want you to call President Suvarov...

and have him meet you where you are as soon as the press conference is over.

- What am I supposed to tell him? - Try the truth for a change.

Tell him you've got credible intelligence about a threat to his life.

The following takes place between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Events occur in real time.

As we gather together for this great occasion,

we must not forget that we all stand in the shadow...

of Omar Hassan's tragic death.

But the peace agreement we're about to sign...

will be his living memorial.

His courage brought us all to this historic day,

and his vision...

will continue to guide us as we move into the future...

together.

So on behalf of the people of Russia,

I extend the open hand of friendship...

to my partners in peace...

President Taylor, President Hassan.

- Thank you very much. -

There'll be time for questions after the signing ceremony. Please, please.

If there's nothing more, I will see you both at the signing.

It appears I am not the only one who does not want to be here.

Mrs. Hassan is distraught.

Understandably. Her husband was killed six hours ago.

Is that why she refuses to look at me?

She knows.

A reporter told her of your complicity in her husband's murder.

Dalia came to me.

And you confirmed this journalist's allegations.

I told her the truth.

And yet, knowing what she knows, she is still here.

Mrs. Hassan understands the benefits of peace.

Because you helped her come to that understanding.

Excuse me, Madam President.

Whatever it was you said to Mrs. Hassan to keep her here...

must have been very convincing.

Take your call, Yuri.

- Charles. - Yuri, we need to talk.

So talk.

Uh, it's a sensitive matter.

Something that, uh, that can't be discussed on the phone.

All right. Come to my suite.

No. You need to come to mine.

Why?

Just trust me, Yuri.

- Trust you? - I don't need to remind you...

that it is in our mutual self-interest...

to make sure that certain secrets stay secret.

Stop talking in riddles, Charles.

I don't have time for this.

There's a possible leak inside of your camp,

which is why we need to discuss this in my office.

I'll be right there.

I hope I was convincing enough for you.

You're a world-class liar.

I would have expected nothing else.

What exactly do you think you're doing...

by killing Suvarov?

Getting justice for Renee Walker?

Yes, and for all the other people that died today trying to protect this country.

Now, sit at the desk and keep the line open.

Jack, the audio file you recorded...

We can use it to expose Suvarov.

We can use the C.T.U. servers to distribute it...

to every government agency and media outlet.

President Taylor's already censored the press. N.S.A.'s putting up firewalls.

Arlo's working on getting through them right now.

The president can't lock down every media outlet.

That's Cole. If I don't answer that, he's sending a tac team in here.

He'll be too late. I'm gonna finish what I started.

You've reached Chloe O'Brian's voice mail.

Please leave...

Delta groups, this is base. Come in, Delta. This is Delta 1. Go ahead.

I need you to deploy all available tac units

to the 22nd floor of the Hart Building.

I have intel on a possible sniper. You got I.D. on this hostile?

Affirmative. It's Jack Bauer.

With regard to Bauer, sir, the standing order is to use lethal force.

- The order stands. - Copy that. We're on our way.

Delta Teams 2 and 3, this is a priority mobilization.

The suspect is Jack Bauer. He's considered armed and dangerous.

Maintain shoot-on-sight protocol.

Listen to me, Jack. Please.

Jack, put down your rifle. Let me walk you out of here before they get here.

Killing Pavel and Novakovich was one thing, but killing Suvarov?

The Russians will consider an assassination...

of their president on American soil an act of war.

He facilitated a terrorist attack against this country.

That's an act of war. He's a murderer.

You're provoking a war with a nuclear-armed country.

Shut up, Chloe.

Or what? You're gonna kill me too?

These people need to be stopped.

They need to be held accountable. They brought this on themselves.

I don't need to remind you of the collateral damage you're causing.

Not to mention the innocent lives that are at stake.

Sir, uh, President Suvarov is outside.

He says you're expecting him.

- Excuse me, sir? - Yes.

I heard you.

Send him in.

You're gonna start a war because you lost someone?

This isn't about me.

- Renee wouldn't want you to do this. - I said shut up, Chloe.

You know she wouldn't.

She would want you to use that data card to get justice.

The last thing Renee would want is for you to start a war in her name.

Jack, please, don't dishonor her memory like this.

I think we should speak alone. Yes, of course.

This person...

The one you say is leaking information...

Who is it?

I'm talking to you.

Okay. We'll do it your way.

But you got to promise me you'll see this through.

Because there's no way I'm getting out of this building alive.

Jack...

You got to promise me that you will see this through,

and that you will do exactly what I say.

I need to hear it.

I promise.

I'm, uh...

I'm sorry for calling you so urgently.

I was, uh, mistaken.

My concern appears to have been unfounded.

I-I got a call from my source just a moment ago.

Um, um... His information was wrong.

I'm so sorry for wasting your time, Yuri.

Gregor. Vasily.

See you after the signing.

Find Pillar.

Sweeping equipment, 22nd floor.

Jack, the tac team's almost here.

I just need to make it to Mobile Command.

You won't even get that far. You won't make it out of the building.

You and Cole found me first by circumventing C.T.U.

If Logan hasn't figured that out yet, he will soon enough.

C.T.U. gave you a standing order with regards to me...

To terminate with extreme prejudice.

If you don't shoot me, that file's not going anywhere.

Take your weapon. Take it!

And point it at me. Point it!

And when they come through the door, tell them...

you found me at the sniper rifle, I turned on you and you opened fire.

- Don't ask me to do something I can't do. - Damn it, pull the trigger.

We are running out of time. They are gonna find us soon.

You said you'd do exactly what I would say, that you would follow this through.

Now, pull the trigger. I can't.

Yes, you can, and you will. Now, pull the trigger.

No. Damn you, Chloe, pull the trigger.

- Jack... - We are running out of time.

- Pull the trigger. - Please don't make me do this.

I know how hard this is, but if you care about me, you will pull the trigger.

Do it. I'm sorry, I can't.

Chloe, pull the trigger. No, Jack.

Pull the trigger. I'm not gonna do it.

- Damn you. -

- What happened? - He drew his weapon. I shot him first.

Jack Bauer's down with a gunshot wound to the

upper chest. Send Medical to our position.

I repeat, Bauer is down.

Chloe, I've been trying to reach you.

- Burke's reporting you shot Jack. - I had to. Listen.

I'm on my way there right now. No.

I need you at Mobile Command. Tell me what's happening.

I have the recording of Logan and Suvarov's conversation.
