Information AboutJack Bauer |
Jack Bauer, played by actor Kiefer Sutherland , is the main character in the American television series '' 24 ''. BIOGRAPHY Jack Bauer was born to German-American parents. After completing high school, he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature from UCLA and a Master's Degree in Criminology and Law from UC Berkeley . After completing his schooling, he worked as a Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team member, and in the U.S. Army 's elite Delta Force . Apparently, Bauer also did fieldwork for the Central Intelligence Agency before being seconded to the Counter Terrorist Unit . While at CTU, he was the Team Leader for an action known as Operation Proteus and the Section Captain during the incident of the Hotel Los Angeles attack. He later uncovered evidence that three CTU agents, including his mentor Christopher Henderson , were taking bribes. Jack gained a reputation as a Whistleblower , and lost favor with CTU hierarchy. Bauer was Director/Special Agent in Charge of the CTU Los Angeles Domestic Unit during the attempted assassination of Senator David Palmer . During that day, Bauer's wife Teri and his daughter Kim were kidnapped by Victor Drazen , a man Bauer thought he had killed in a covert mission called Operation Nightfall in Kosovo five years earlier. Erroneously believing that Kim was murdered by Drazen, Jack killed Drazen and his associates. Bauer's colleague/former love interest Nina Myers (who turned out to be a traitor) killed Teri Bauer before being arrested. Jack was so distraught over Teri's death that he resigned and joined the inactive roster. Eighteen months later, Bauer was called back to duty by President Palmer to help CTU stop a terrorist group known as Second Wave from detonating a Nuclear Bomb in Los Angeles. After the incidents depicted in Season 2 , Jack was appointed Director of Field Operations by new CTU Los Angeles Special Agent in Charge Tony Almeida . Six months later, Jack led a raid on a ship in the LA harbor containing a deadly cargo of Ricin toxin. He then learned about an assassination attempt on the Vice President with info from undercover CTU Washington D.C. agent Chase Edmunds . Bauer prevents the assassination with the Vice President being in critical condition from a vehicular explosion after the firefight. After averting the assassination attempt, Jack follows Robert Daniels, the person behind coordinating the assassination attempt only to find out that he was among the CTU agents being diverted from the CTU building. As a result, CTU was taken over by Peter Madsen and Joseph Sin-Chung, with Jack and Tony being fighting to regain control of the base while slowing down Madsen's attempt from downloading the files. Madsen caught on and kills CTU analyst Sean Walker in the process, as well as kidnapping a surrendering Kim Bauer. As Madsen, Sin-Chung, and Kim escape with undercover CTU Operative Chase Edmunds, Jack was blackmailed to download the decryption software for Madsen. While Jack was on the run from local authorities, Jack desperately looks for leads to find and save Kim by going to Madsen's wife, Donna. Donna barely had any useful information due to her drug addiction, but directed Jack to her dealer, a Mexican drug dealer named Del Torro. Bauer raids Del Torro's ruined hotel building and was given the information of finding Kim. Before being kidnapped, Kim placed a tracking unit on herself, and Jack followed up on the tracker, only to find out that CTU's computers were malfunctioning from Madsen's EMP. Jack eventually gets the final location at an abandoned water facility in Burbank. Jack infiltrates the base, saves Kim, and meets Chase for the first time. Jack tells Chase to look for a hard-drive from CTU which has the data on all of the undercover CTU operatives. Chase stays undercover while Jack and Kim escape the base. During Kim's rescue, Bauer discovered a plan being executed by former CTU agent Peter Madsen, to detonate bombs, and cause a massive earthquake in LA. Upon returning to CTU, Jack is confronted by Chappelle and convinced him to stay on the case. Knowing Jack's logic, Chappelle reluctantly lets Jack continue the investigation. Jack and Tony went out on the field, going to two of the construction sites that were possible target areas for the bomb detonations. After disarming one of the bombs and failing to disarm a second hidden bomb, Jack attempts to return to CTU only to be called by Kate Warner , who needed help because of the earthquake. Jack attempts to meet up with Kate, only to see her get held captive by Madsen. An SUV driven by Chase picks up Madsen and Kate. Jack pursues Madsen to a building while being suppressed by Chase. Jack confronts Chase, with Chase saying that he couldn't save Kate without blowing his cover. Jack told Chase that he did the right thing. Chase sends a false radio transmission to Madsen saying that he killed Jack. Madsen directs Chase to an abandoned train station used as a base for the terrorists. Chase drove off to the new address, which was an old train yard. Jack hid himself while Chase showed Madsen Bauer's dogtags. Jack and Chase infiltrate one of the buildings in order to recover the C.T.U. hard-drive. Jack stayed inside an elevator to stay hidden from the guards while Chase stalked one of Sin-Chung's hackers and killed him to take his key-card. Chase covertly hands Jack the key-card and heads over to the security room to disable the cameras. Upon completing his task, Jack moves in to recover the hard-drive. Unfortunately, the removal of the hard-drive triggered the alarms. Jack and Chase were forced to blast their way out. Jack gives the hard-drive to Chase and tells him to bring it back to C.T.U. Chase attempts to head to a vehicle while Jack tries to find Kate. Jack eventually found Kate, but had to blow her off in order to save Chase from a sniper. Jack kills the sniper and provides cover-fire for Chase. Chase eventually enters a car and heads on a long drive back to C.T.U. Jack heads back to Kate's cell only to find her missing and sees Madsen driving out of the base with Kate. While Jack heads back to CTU, Chase gets ambushed by Sin-Chung and is in a heavy firefight. After the firefight, Chase recovers a message on Sin-Chung's cell phone to send a driver over to the desert to pick up some important cargo. Chase heads back to C.T.U. As Chase arrives, he is confronted by an irritated Ryan Chappelle knowing that Chase went rogue. Jack intervenes telling Chappelle that Chase knows how Madsen's side works and that his efforts to return the C.T.U. have to count for something. Chappelle reluctantly complies but tells Jack that he wants Chase on a plane back to D.C. after the ordeal is over. Chase thanks Jack, and was told by his mentor that he's a good agent. Chase goes undercover again posing as the requested truck driver. Max, a previous villain behind season 2's and The Game's events, also came into play, and Bauer had to stop him from stealing nuclear weapons from an abandoned military bunker called Fort Lesker. Chase covertly calls Jack on his cell phone in order to have C.T.U. track him. Jack trails the truck to Fort Lesker and eventually sneaks on board in the cargo portion of the truck. Chase covertly hands Jack a radio. While Jack enters a locker room, he sees Madsen's men beating up one of the guards working at Fort Lesker. The guard refuses to divulge information, and gets shot in the chest by one of the thugs. Jack kills both of them, and gets information from the guard the order of locking down the base. As Chase enters one of the loading areas, he gets an order by Jack to head to the main control room to lock down the base even if it meant that Chase had to blow his cover. After Chase locks down the base, he is cornered and tells Jack to leave him. Jack blasts his way through dozens of guards to regroup with Chase Jack and Chase blast their way out of Fort Lesker and evacuate in a helicopter. The two land in the L.A. docks. With support from C.T.U. S.W.A.T. teams, Jack and Chase sweep the docks to find the cargo shipments and Madsen. Jack eventually gives the order for Chase to stay with the tactical teams while Jack looks for Madsen. Jack confronts Madsen asking where Kate is. Madsen shoots Jack in the stomach, and Jack chases Madsen. Jack kills Madsen as he escapes on a speedboat. After Jack kills Madsen, he is pinned down by Madsen's remaining henchmen. A C.T.U. chopper comes by with Chase shooting the gunmen. The three C.T.U. agents head to Max's Yacht, with Tony and Chase debriefing Jack about Max. It also turned out that Kate was on the yacht as well. Before boarding the ship, Chase obliterates the defending guards with a mounted machine gun. The recently cleared deck allowed Jack to abseil to the ship while Chase covers Jack from any possible gunmen. Jack blasts his way through any surviving gunmen and eventually gets in a stand-off with Max. Jack succeeds in shooting Max three times, at the expense of taking a second gunshot to the chest. Everything was over for now, with a deteriorating Jack losing consciousness. Chase helps Jack to the helicopter telling Tony that they need to get Jack to a hospital. Tony acknowledges it and lets Chase fly the chopper to a nearby hospital while Tony stays with Kate on the yacht. Two and a half years later ( Season 3 ), Jack returned from an undercover sting operation of Ramon Salazar , a Mexican drug lord. While the operation was a success and resulted in the arrest of Salazar, it came at a heavy price. Bauer ended up with a heroin addiction in order to maintain his cover with the Salazars, and attempted to fight it by going "cold turkey". Worse, he learned about a threat, that if Ramon was not released from prison, a Cordila virus (a fast acting killer virus) would be released in LA. Desperate to find the vials before they were released, Jack took matters into his own hands and broke Ramon Salazar out of prison to regain his trust. Ramon's brother, Hector, insisted to keep Bauer alive to buy the Cordila virus and resell them to underground organizations worldwide for a one billion dollar profit. Eventually Bauer won the trust of Ramon Salazar but learned that another buyer was in play, headed by Nina Myers. The sale of the virus went bad, but Nina Myers was taken into custody and was eventually executed by Bauer after he deemed her useless. He then learned that the man behind the distribution of the virus and the attacks was Stephen Saunders , one of Jack's former team members presumed dead from Operation: Nightfall in Kosovo. Eventually Jack reformed partnership with Chase Edmunds and together they captured Saunders and retrieved the vials of virus. Eighteen months later, Jack was forced to leave CTU due to his heroin addiction acquired prior to Season 3 . He found employment with the Department Of Defense . Bauer became involved in a serious relationship with the daughter of the Secretary of Defense, Audrey Raines . However, after Jack was called back to CTU in Season 4 to help them stop a terrorist mastermind named Habib Marwan , Audrey witnessed Jack's "dark side" and decided she could not be with him, due to his ruthlessness and brutality. As of early Season 5, remarks by Audrey suggest that she may be willing to resume the relationship. Eighteen months later, as a result of events at the end of Season 4, Jack needed to fake his own death in order to avoid prosecution from the Chinese authorities for the accidental killing of a Chinese diplomat (see below). Jack had to use the false identity of Frank Flynn, a worker at an oil yard. When the only people who knew he was still alive were targeted, Jack had to reappear at CTU and drop his fake identity. As a new terrorist threat arises, he supports President Charles Logan in handling the crisis. When terrorists try to stop President Charles Logan and the Russian President from signing a peace treaty, they use government connections to steal 20 canisters of Sentox nerve gas, and are now threatening to use it on American soil. It is later revealed to us that Walt Cummings, one of the President's chief advisors, supplied the terrorists with the Sentox nerve gas. Walt wanted to allow the terrorists, who are revealed to be Russian Revolutionaries, to transport the nerve gas to Russia and then he would remotely detonate the canisters while they were in possession by the Russian terrorists. Things go awry, and Walt's inside man is murdered and the canisters go missing. CHARACTER Many see Jack Bauer as a man who believes that " The Ends Justify The Means ;" obtaining a desired result is more important than how he obtains it, and he frequently performs controversial actions if he thinks they will achieve an important goal. This view is perhaps best expressed after Bauer shot and killed a restrained criminal in front of George Mason, then-CTU Special Agent in Charge. George expressed dismay at Jack's extreme action, but Jack replied, "That's the problem with people like you, George. You want results, but you never want to get your hands dirty, I'd start rolling up your sleeves." Others see Jack Bauer as a man of principle; one who absolutely refuses to compromise his principles, under even the most extreme circumstances. He is, in this respect, an unusual modern-day protagonist. His firm values exemplify a type of romantic character rarely seen in recent years. His dedication to principle is, in many respects, reminiscent of characters created by 20th Century novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand , such as Howard Roark and John Galt . Jack Bauer is capable of unbreakable concentration and impressive improvisational thinking under times of extreme pressure, a talent that facilitates his ability to get out of very difficult situations. During the first seven hours of Season 1, he stages two violent altercations with an imprisoned criminal named Penticoff, in order to contact him by phone and break him out of jail. Not two hours later he "accidentally" spills food all over a CTU technician's keyboard, allowing him to swap a data disk during the two-second distraction. Finally, threatened with the death of his wife and daughter and monitored via camera surveillance, he is forced to take fellow agent Nina Myers hostage, march her out of the office (using a jacket to hide the gun) and then execute her, which he actually avoids because the garment he gave her was a Flak Jacket . Jack Bauer routinely puts his own life on the line, as well as the lives of those close to him (or even simply near him at the time), in his pursuit of justice. Notably, during Season 3, he was faced with terrorists threatening to release a devastating Biological Weapon if Jack did not execute one of his superiors, Regional Director Ryan Chappelle . Efforts to foil the terrorists before the deadline were ultimately unsuccessful, so Bauer killed Chappelle. This was also shown in Season 4, when Jack was forced to make a choice; his new girlfriend's husband Paul Raines was shot and needed surgery. A Chinese informant who had information on Habib Marwan was shot during the crossfire of his abduction. Jack was forced to pull the doctor off of Paul and work on the informant. As a result, Paul dies moments later, all of this right in front of Audrey's eyes. Bauer is rarely seen showing remorse for such actions. This is largely due to the emotional suppression necessary to get through the day. His Heroin use, though part of a deep cover assignment, can also be seen as self-medication for his stress and guilt. Indeed, once captured the kingpin Ramon Salazar questioned Jack's use of the drug during his assignment, commenting that Jack's cover was more than convincing without him shooting-up and that "there must be some other reason" for him to start using. He has on occasion revealed his more vulnerable side, including a notable scene at the end of Season 3 when he breaks down crying after the traumatic events of the day. In addition, Jack also gave off hints of sadness and realization for the negative repercussions that his decisions reap on innocent people in Season 4. After he orders that Paul Raines have doctors taken off him and put onto a dying suspect, he seems genuinely sad when Paul dies, and does not see him as a mere casualty of war as he has seen previous deaths he was partially, or directly responsible for. Following the death of his wife at the end of Season 1, Bauer seems to have very little personal life. There is no separation of his personal life and his duty. As he said to Chase Edmunds , his partner during Season 3, "You cannot keep this job and lead a normal life at the same time." Through the years of his service, Jack befriends the President of the United States, David Palmer, largely due to Jack's role in saving Palmer's life twice. A trademark of their friendship is that the President refers to him as Jack, while Jack addresses the President solely and professionally as "Mr. President" and "sir". The extent to which Palmer trusts Bauer is apparent in Season 3, when Bauer becomes one of the first people to learn that Palmer will not seek re-election. Jack Bauer is also a master of interrogation. He often uses extreme physical force or psychological stress to retrieve the information he needs. The first has been shown by Jack's ability to shoot someone in the leg (or his wife in the leg), break someone's wrist, cut the palm of someone's hand or shoot bullets very close to someone's head. The second is shown by withholding pain medication until he gets the info, showing horrible footage of innocent victims, by threatening to put a suspect's daughter into a virus infected zone or by the staged killing of terrorist's family members until he gets the information. Jack himself is also adept at handling being interrogated, as shown in Season 2, proving Terrorist Jason Stark's point, "Everyone breaks, Jack, even you," to be ''quite'' false. Jack withstood knife carvings, electrocutions & injections without confessing. During one particularly brutal torture-session he was accidentally put into cardiac arrest, but revived with emergency medications, his captors telling him: "You're not getting off that easy." Several minutes after his revival, Jack was able to both free himself from his restraints and dispatch the two men guarding him. With the complex figure of Jack, many fans fear that if Jack were to die in the series, the series would Jump The Shark . Given that Kiefer Sutherland was given a three-year contract extension for his character in April of 2006, viewers can infer that Jack is most likely not going to die in the near future. THE "DEATH" OF JACK BAUER At the conclusion of Day Four, Jack Bauer was scheduled to be handed over to the Chinese authorities due to his involvement in a secret raid on the Los Angeles Chinese Consulate that resulted in the Friendly Fire death of the Chinese Consul. Presidential Adviser Walt Cummings ordered Secret Service Agent Dale Spaulding to kill Bauer once he was in custody in order to prevent the Chinese from extracting any harmful information from Bauer. Mike Novick, chief of staff to President Charles Logan, overheard the conversation and informed his friend, former President David Palmer. Palmer called Bauer and urged him to flee CTU. Bauer, along with Tony Almeida , Michelle Dessler , and Chloe O'Brian , planned an escape in which Bauer faked his own death to avoid being taken into custody. Once Secret Service Agent Spaulding and CTU personnel left the scene, Bauer was administered Epinephrine and revived (to date, this is the second time Bauer has been brought back from Clinical Death ). Almeida and Dessler smuggled Bauer out of CTU and dropped him off on a secluded road. He thanked them for all that they had done for him, then called President Palmer, thanking him as well for the advanced warning. Palmer acknowledges the country's enormous debt to Jack Bauer, him having saved it many times: "This is probably the last time we'll ever speak...Jack, you do understand when you hang up, for all intents and purposes, Jack Bauer is dead." Bauer replies, "I understand that, sir...Mr. President, it's been an honor." Bauer hung up the phone and walked off. Through the Season 5 prequel on the Season 4 DVD Set, it is revealed that twelve months after staging his own death, Jack met up with Chloe in Chicago, Illinois, where he is informed that not even Jack's daughter Kim learned the truth about his death. Furthermore, the files of Jack's whereabouts have somehow been released before Chloe had the chance to erase everything. After meeting with Chloe, Jack was pursued by an unknown assailant, wanting him dead. Though Jack managed to escape from harm, he is seen by another unknown motorcyclist. The truth is out: Jack Bauer is still alive... JACK'S RETURN & DAY FIVE As Season 5 begins, Bauer has taken the identity of Frank Flynn, struggling for work at an oil yard in California. As news hits that President David Palmer has been assassinated, Tony Almeida and Michelle Dessler are also targeted at their home, resulting in Michelle's death and critically injuring Tony. Completing the circle of those who know Jack is alive, Chloe O'Brian is also targeted, but gets away. Chloe calls Jack for assistance as she evades the assassins. Returning to Los Angeles to assist her, Jack briefly interrogates Palmer's wounded assassin, who reveals that Jack is to be set up for Palmer's death. Jack then kills him in retribution for killing Palmer (having previously promised to take him to a hospital if he talked). After regaining the trust of CTU management by assisting in the rescue of hostages at a terrorist controlled airport, Jack returns to CTU for the first time since his "death", cleared of Palmer's murder by CTU District Director Lynn McGill , who affirms Jack's request to remain on the team until the current crisis is over. Soon after his arrival at CTU, Jack encounters former lover Audrey Raines, on-site as a liaison from the Defense Department. He is soon forced to reconsider whether he still has feelings for Audrey after 18 months away, and six months of bonding with the woman who rents a room for Frank Flynn. He decides that he is still in love with Audrey. Jack is lured to Tony Almeida's bedside by a hired killer who gained access to CTU through Spenser Wolff, a subordinate and love interest of Chloe O'Brian. Wolff is thought to be yet another mole in CTU, but then reveals he was recruited by White House Chief of Staff Walt Cummings and used as a patsy to get rid of Jack. Jack kills the hitman with a pair of surgical scissors. After trying to meet presidential advisor and David Palmer loyalist Mike Novick to warn him about Cummings, Jack and Mike are arrested and detained with no charges. Jack appeals to the sense of duty in Aaron Pierce, the President's security chief who has served in the same capacity for Palmer, and gains access to the President, where he informs him of Cummings' actions, and threatens Cumming's life until he cracks and gives up what he knows about the terrorist plot. It appeared that Cummings is not a traitor in the truest sense, in that he hatched this plot to ensure oil futures for the U.S., but his ruthlessness and willingness to kill anyone who gets in the way of his plot disgusts President Logan who orders the Secret Service to remove Cummings from his sight. Cummings then kills himself. It is during this exchange that Jack earns Logan's respect and admiration, though he does promise the President to serve him until the current crisis is over, and then return to his life of shadowy anonymity. His promise to disappear again casts a pall over his possible future plans to reunite with Audrey Raines. After an undercover operation to find the Sentox nerve gas canisters, Logan was forced to allow the terrorists to release the gas in the shopping mall to keep Jack's cover. However, Jack intentionally told them the wrong code and almost prevented the release (only 20 were killed, not hundreds). Under the President's pressure, Lynn McGill forced CTU to arrest Jack for what he did. Jack escaped to attend a meeting with James Nathanson , Walt Cummings' partner in the theft of the gas. When Nathanson is shot, Jack gets a thumb drive that leads him to the manufacturer of the nerve gas, Omicron International where Christopher Henderson works. Henderson is a former CTU agent that Jack busted for taking bribes before Season 1. Henderson attempted to have Jack killed by locking him inside a bunker with a bomb in Omicron. Jack, who managed to survive the attack, was able to capture Henderson while in his home. After coming back from CTU, Jack is reunited with his daughter Kim. Jack attempts to explain to Kim that the reason he faked his own death was to protect her and how much it hurt him not being able to see her again without risk, but Kim felt upset that her dad could not trust her and that believing that Jack had died had a severe effect on Kim's life. After the terrorists released the Sentox nerve gas inside of the CTU building, Jack risked his life to try to reprogram the ventilation system so that it can flush out the nerve gas by holding his breath while moving through the contaminated area. Once Lynn McGill was able to reprogram the ventilation system and the Sentox was neutralised, Jack made another attempt to try and reconnect with Kim. Kim, however, did not want to see her dad again because everytime she was around him something bad happened. Jack respects her decision and ironically now has to go on living life without possibly seeing her again. During a phone call with Tony Almeida , Jack pleads with him not to kill Henderson until they get the information they need. Tony ignores Jack and in the process knockes out Agent Rick Burke, the man who was torturing Henderson, and prepares a lethal dose of hyoscine-pentothal only for it to backfire on him when Henderson awakens from his coma. Jack holds Tony in his arms as he breaks down when he sees his best friend die right in front of his eyes. Jack was leading a field operation in an attempt to capture Collette Stenger, an associate of Vladimir Bierko , but along the way Jack and CTU encountered an agent from the German Federal Intelligence Service , Theo Stoller. He also wanted Collette Stenger, but to bring down terrorist cells across Europe. Jack was able to strike a deal though with Stoller by providing him with the WET list in exchange for the whereabouts of Stenger, thereby infuriating Karen Hayes at Homeland Security . Jack and CTU were successful in capturing Stenger but the thumb drive Theo Stoller had on the WET list had been programmed by Jack to self-destruct. Once given immunity, Stenger soon divulged information of where Bierko's safe house is and Jack was shocked to find out that the data Stenger sold to Bierko on the building schematic was sold to her by Audrey Raines . However, after interrogating Audrey, Jack could clearly see that Audrey was not affiliated with the plot against the United States. Jack and Chloe strived to find a link between Colette Stenger and Christopher Henderson. They soon found the connection, proving Audrey's innocence, and finding out that the terrorists were planning to attack a natural gas plant. Later, Jack attempted to blow up the natural gas plant in order to denature the nerve gas that was depleted from its canisters. As the plant was blowing up, he attempted to pursue Bierko. At the very end of that episode (9pm-10pm), Jack managed to detain Bierko while he was off-balance due to the initial explosions of the main gas tanks, but was unable to bring him into custody before the remainder of the plants main gas tanks exploded. Instead, he bundled himself and Bierko into the back of a stolen police car, as the tanks exploded, covering the car with fiery debris. Both Jack and Bierko survived the blast, and all the remaining nerve gas was destroyed. By 11:00 PM on day 5, Jack is horrified to learn that the true mastermind of the Sentox Nerve Gas Conspiracy is none other than President Logan himself, and he must now simply try to stay alive in the face of Logan and Henderson's upcoming assault against him and anyone else that knows the truth. Jack then robs a bank containing audio evidence proving Logan is behind the Nerve Gas Conspiracy. An arrest warrant is issued by Logan, desperate to cover his tracks. By 12:00 AM, Jack is facing extreme danger from both Henderson's mercenaries and government units, both of whom are currently pursuing him. Homeland security is currently pursuing him as a 'Code-3' suspect, per Logan's orders, pulling their resources off the search for Henderson. Soon after, Jack arrives at Van Nuys Airport to meet Audrey who has arranged for her father, Secretary Of Defense James Heller , to present the incriminating evidence to Logan with the intent on bringing him down. Heller has Jack and Audrey held at the hangar, stating the evidence will destroy the American Presidency. He says a quiet resignation from Logan is the only course of action. After Heller leaves, Jack frees himself and Audrey, and manages to retrieve the recording from Heller's men. However, Henderson, under Logan's command, arrives via helicopter with his men. A firefight ensues outside and Henderson flees into the hangar. Jack pursues him and finds to his horror that Henderson has taken Audrey hostage. He has cut her Brachial Artery and says she will bleed to death in a matter of minutes. Jack complies with Henderson's demand for the evidence to spare Audrey's life, and Henderson hastily flees the airport while Jack tends to Audrey's wound. Jack captures Henderson shortly afterwards only to discover he has already passed the audio tape to a confederate. Henderson then reveals that if Jack does not release him, his men will kill Heller, whom they have been following by helicopter. Jack contacts Heller who confirms that a sniper in the helicopter has him within his scope. Jack is prepared to release Henderson but Heller refuses to be a pawn and drives his car off a cliff and into a lake. Jack knocks Henderson unconscious, cuffs him to a pipe, and goes after the tape. Chloe tracks the tape to a plane leaving from Van Nuys Airport. Jack sneaks into the baggage storage area on the plane undetected. REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS |
