Series Finale

Episode 192 — Day 8: 3:00pm – 4:00pm
Chloe wakes up and persuades Jack not to shoot Suvarov because it would start a war. She offers to help him get the word out about his evidence instead. Jack agrees and comes up with a plan in which she must shoot him, as if he had been attacking her. Chloe resists but eventually agrees.

Pillar suspects that she’s helping Jack, and has Chole and Cole shadowed. As a result, CTU recovers the data card before Chloe can upload its contents. Logan later presents it to President Taylor and he convinces her that Jack will need to be taken out. She very reluctantly allows him to set up a hit on Jack’s ambulance convoy.

Taylor then watches Jack’s video to his daughter, Kim, and it causes her to have a change of heart. At the signing ceremony, she publicly confesses her role in the cover-up. Taylor also tries to have Logan’s ambush of Jack called off, but is unsuccessful. When Logan discovers out that his involvement has been revealed, he shoots both Pillar and himself in the head.

At CTU, Chloe takes charge again and locates Jack. He is about to be executed when Taylor orders his assassins to stand down, her words backed up by the weaponry on a CTU surveillance drone. Via satellite phone, she apologizes to Jack and reveals that she will soon announce her resignation and accept her punishment for what she’s done. She advises him to flee the country as both the Russians and Americans will be after him this time.

Jack talks to Chloe via cell-phone, while looking up at the sky. He knows that she can see him via satellite. In an emotional exchange, Jack makes his longtime ally promise to protect Kim and her family and thanks her for her years of support.

As he begins to flee, the final clock of the show counts down, instead of up, from four seconds to a series-concluding 00:00:00.
