Jack Bauer Watches as the President Makes His Final Stand
Summary
– President Heller prepares to sacrifice himself to stop Margot Al-Harazi
– Jack Bauer receives a full pardon but refuses to accept it
– Margot’s team locks onto Heller’s location, preparing to fire
President James Heller reaches the final stage of his plan, standing alone in Wembley Stadium as Margot Al-Harazi’s drones close in. Knowing he has no other choice, he willingly surrenders himself in a desperate bid to stop further destruction.
Torn between duty and personal conviction, Jack Bauer watches the situation unfold. Heller offers Jack a presidential pardon, erasing all past and present charges against him and allowing him to return home. However, Jack refuses, stating he isn’t looking for a pardon—especially not for something he believes is wrong. Despite Jack’s opposition, Heller remains steadfast in his decision, convinced that sacrificing himself is the only way forward.
Meanwhile, Chloe O’Brian races against time, working to break into the drone’s control system. She isolates the drone module into three data streams, but the one controlling the weapon remains impenetrable. As she struggles for a breakthrough, Margot and her son Ian confirm Heller’s presence at the stadium. Using facial recognition, they verify the target and prepare to launch the missile.
Jack desperately calls out to Heller with the countdown reaching its final moments, but time has run out. Margot gives the order to fire.
