“6:00am - 7:00am” · Season 5, Episode 24
In this episode: Jack Bauer (3), Charles Logan (2)
[On Marine One, with President Logan in the back, Bauer pulls a gun on the other pilot.]
Captain. I can fly this thing if I have to, which leaves you with one of two choices. You either do what I say and you live, or you don't and you die for nothing. You understand me?
[A stony-faced, silent Jack holds Logan isolated on Marine One.]
What are you trying to do, Jack? Whatever it is, you know you won't get away with it! Are you going to kill me? I suppose you want some sort of revenge. I understand that. Bad things happened. I didn't want them to happen. People who work for me, they-they-they went too far, they did things I thought I wanted them to do, but they were wrong! You have to understand, I have always acted in the country's best interest. But you're just trying to get even. Do you realize what effect this will have on the American people?! This day has been trying enough! And now the President is being attacked. If you want to do what's right, you will turn this thing around, and go back. Damn it, Bauer, say something!
[In the abandoned building, Jack sits down before a defiant Logan.]
A year and a half ago, I was warned that my life was in danger, by someone within the government. I was told the only way I could stay alive was to create the illusion that I was dead. I was forced to deceive people that I loved. My only daughter will never forgive me. As I see the depth of your corruption unfold, I have no doubt that you are that source of danger. David Palmer was a great man, and he was a great President! But he was also my friend. He tried to warn me about you and now he is dead. Other people tried to help me, and they are dead, too. So Mr. Logan, I hope you understand… I have absolutely nothing to lose. You are going to be held accountable for your part of everything that happened today. You are not going to be able to hide behind the Presidency -- right here, right now, you are going to face justice! And make no mistake about this, this is personal. And if you think for a second that I am scared to put a bullet in your brain, you don't know me. I am going to ask you one last time. Who are your co-conspirators? You have until the count of three, or I will kill you.
[Charles follows Martha into the airfield hangar. In private, he slaps her and frisks her for a wire.]
You said that I was a good liar? But I am nothing compared to you.
[Jack's kidnappers drag him through a dark enclosed space with hanging chains. Chinese operative Cheng Zhi appears.]
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?
[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.]
Kill me. Just… kill me.
Kill you? You're far too valuable to kill, Mr. Bauer.
