[After the shootout at the gas plant]

Jack

Curtis, the Sentox is already in the system. Who's in charge here?

[Sam the foreman raises his hand]

Jack

Listen to me. You have Sentox nerve gas running through your pipelines. Can you shut down the pumps?

SSam

By the time we power down, gas will be in the main tanks and it's out into the city.

Jack

I need the closest pipeline that feeds those tanks.

SSam

Just out the door, to your left. It'll have a red arrow on it.

JTJack [to Curtis]

Get me C4 and a timer, get these people out of here.

Jack, what are you doing?

Jack

In order to deliver the Sentox it had to mix with natural gas. If we can ignite that gas before it leaves the plant, the Sentox will be incinerated. Bill, this is the last chance we've got to stop this threat.

[Jack has just been caught in an explosion and sees Bierko escaping]

Jack

Curtis, I've got a visual on Bierko!

Jack, you don't have time before the main tanks explode.

Jack

Right now, he's our only connection to Henderson!

[Jack's kidnappers drag him through a dark enclosed space with hanging chains. Chinese operative Cheng Zhi appears.]

CZCheng Zhi

You surely must be aware, Mr. Bauer, that China has a long memory. Only 18 months ago, you invaded our territory and killed our consul. Did you really think that we would forget? Hmm?

Jack

[gasping] I know how this works. I need to make one phone call. Please. Just one phone call.

[After a moment of silence, Jack spits at Cheng. The men drop him to the ground.]

Jack

Kill me. Just… kill me.

CZCheng Zhi

Kill you? You're far too valuable to kill, Mr. Bauer.

[Per Fayed's instructions, Buchanan and Curtis prepare to leave Jack chained to a water system grate.]

I don't know what to say, Jack.

Jack

Do you understand the difference between dying for something and dying for nothing? The only reason I fought so hard to stay alive in China was because I didn't want to die for nothing. Today, I can die for something. My way, my choice. To be honest with you, it'll be a relief.

[As Omar begs through his pain, Jack pulls back from his brutal interrogation.]

AAssad

Why'd you stop?

Jack

I can see it in his eyes. He's not going to tell us anything.

[Jack walks off, but Assad grabs a knife and resumes the torture.]

AAssad

Where is Fayed?

OOmar

I know where some of his men are going to be!

[Beat. Assad is alarmed at Jack's reluctance to head out after Fayed.]

AAssad

My men are dead. I can find Fayed, but I cannot stop him by myself.

Jack

I don't know how to do this anymore.

AAssad

You'll remember.

You were right about Curtis and Assad. Curtis was in the army, just after desert storm. His squad was ambushed by Assad's people. They killed 5 of Curtis's men and took 2 more hostage. Curtis was badly wounded, he couldn't go after them. The next day a tape was sent to the local television station. Assad's lieutenant forced the men from Curtis's patrol to beg for their lives, and then he personally beheaded them both.

Jack

Oh my God.

Jack

Curtis, put down your weapon!

I can't do that, Jack.

Jack

Curtis, by order of the President of the United States, PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON!
