Jack’s being attended to by medical when Doyle comes over and says, “I just wanted to thank you for what you did today because it could have ended a hell of a lot worse today and it would have if it weren’t for you,” which is one of the most poorly constructed sentences I’ve ever heard. Jack thanks him and walks away to a suspiciously well-lit alley and calls Cheng back. Jack offers himself over in exchange for Audrey’s freedom but Cheng’s not having that, an unbreakable man is a useless man. He wants some circuit board chip that will give the Chinese access to all of the Russian’s technology. I didn’t understand this when Cheng says it because he talks painstakingly slow and I can’t really understand him, but it’s explained later in the episode by at least 6 more people. Jack tells him that he’ll do what he can.
He will of course need Chloe’s help. He calls Chloe while CTU is getting debriefed by Buchanan about a job well done. The only way she can get Jack the information she needs is by going onto Morris’s computer and downloading it onto Jack’s phone. Chloe has a really good "dammit." Clearly her and Jack have become much closer. She gets it done in barely enough time before Morris comes over and sees her there.
Meanwhile, President Palmer, who has moved back up to the Oval Office (bye batcave ) calls Vice President Daniels into his office. He asks for his resignation and for some reason Daniels is surprised and insulted by this. Why is Daniels so shocked? He tried to take the presidency right out from underneath Wayne. Daniels refuses and Wayne explains the tape that Lennox has on him and says it would be better for everyone if Daniels just stepped down instead of a long drawn out trial. Daniels is piping mad but agrees.
Morris finds out that someone logged onto his computer illegally and is ready to go tell Buchanan when Chloe fesses up. She explains Jack’s situation but Morris doesn’t like the idea and doesn’t trust Jack to not give the Chinese the chip. When will people stop doubting Jack Bauer? Morris says he’s going to tell Buchanan but Chloe agrees to tell her himself.
In the warehouse, Jack has gotten to where the suitcase nukes are and sees two armed guards. He tells them that he’s a federal agent and is working by order of the president to bring the chip back to CTU. At first they don’t buy it but Jack flips out and acts like he’s about to call the president and they let him through. Worst agents ever. They’re supposed to be guarding a nuclear bomb and this guy just comes up and swears to them that he’s a federal agent working under presidential orders and they’re like “oh yeah sure just go through strange angry man I’ve never met.” So Jack goes in and starts taking the chips out when Doyle and a bunch of other agents burst in aiming their guns at Jack. Buchanan gave the order to take Jack out and one agent knocks him out with the butt of a shotgun to the head. Ouch.
While Jack is handcuffed, Doyle allows him to talk to Buchanan. Jack explains the situation to Buchanan and asks him to be put through to the president. Wayne is eventually put through and is very reluctant about giving Jack the all clear to go ahead with this mission. Wayne needs to be sure that the chip will be destroyed. Jack says that as soon as he knows that Audrey is safe he will destroy the chip no matter what, even if it means blowing himself up. And he tells the president that he owes him. I feel like that’s kind of a disrespectful way to talk to the president, but he has a point. So Wayne tells Buchanan to give Jack whatever he feels he needs for the operation.
Doyle thinks he can give Jack orders but Doyle is stupid. Jack asks him to back him up when the go in to save Audrey. Doyle’s all like “I don’t get romantically involved with people I work with she’s not worth it blah blah I’m the worst character ever” and Jack gets pissed and tells him to shut up or something.
President Palmer decides to give a press conference to talk about how the suitcase nukes are secure. He takes questions but starts to forget everyone’s names and what he’s talking about. Then he collapses on live tv. That is not good for the healing of a nation. We learn that he probably had severe brain bleeding or something and won’t regain consciousness for a while. That means Daniels is in charge again. Right when he was about to hand in his resignation. His first order of business is to stop Jack’s save Audrey operation because he says that Jack can’t predict the outcome of the Chinese not getting the chip. He is stupid. Jack can predict any outcome he wishes.
Buchanan gets the order to call off the operation and calls Doyle. He makes sure Doyle doesn’t let on to Jack that the operation is cancelled.
I need you to disarm Jack as quickly and quietly as possible before he finds out. –Buchanan
To this my friend and I both went “yeah right!” Has he ever met Jack? Geez what are these people thinking? Why is Chloe the only one who realizes that Jack is never wrong and can do whatever he wishes? Doyle hangs up but Jack knows something is wrong and points his gun at Doyle and tells him to pull over. He tells him that earlier in the day he killed his friend and agent and he will gladly do it again if Doyle doesn’t do what he wants. He then leaves Doyle by a chain linked fence in the middle of no where and goes rogue again. I love it when Jack goes rogue.
