Episode Comments

Chloe's line, "That's usually how it works," concerning her pregnancy is reminiscent of Teri Bauer telling her husband Jack that she was pregnant towards the end of Day 1.

Jack tells Heller that "the only thing I have ever done is what you and people like you have asked of me!" This line does have nice dramatic effect, but really, how many times has Jack gone against his superiors' orders in the past six seasons?

During the air strike on the oil rig, the Vice President, the Russian President and their staffs were watching the events unfold. They should have seen the helicopter with Jack and Bill arrive on the rig and the ensuing attack. However no one seemed to worry that there were unknown people who could well have taken the circuit board before leaving in the helicopter.

Episode Quotes

Jack Bauer: YOU DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. You understand me? YOU do not tell me what to do. I just watched my father die, and I felt nothing. You know why? Yeah, you know why. Because that man was dead to me years ago. I admired you. I looked up to YOU like a father. You were the kind of man I wanted to be. And YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT!
James Heller: Jack, listen to me.
Jack Bauer: NO! YOU are gonna listen to me. Earlier today you said that I was cursed. That anyone I touched, ended up dead, or ruined. How dare you. How... Dare you. The only thing I did, the only thing I have EVER done, is what you and people like you have asked of me. Why didn't you try to get me out of China?
James Heller: I did try.
Jack Bauer: NOT HARD ENOUGH! You had the political power. Was the timing not right? Was it a little too complicated? Or was I just an acceptable loss.
James Heller: Jack, I understand your anger...
Jack Bauer: SHUT UP! You don't understand a thing about me. But I know you. I know why you're angry at me. And it wasn't because Audrey went to China to save me. It was because when you told her NOT to, she did it anyway. You'll never understand that kind of commitment, that kind of loyalty.
James Heller: You're right Jack. It wasn't fair of me to put all this on you, to blame you for what happened to Audrey. I know the sacrifices you made. I know this country owes you more than it'll ever repay.
Jack Bauer: I'm not interested in what you think this country owes me. I want my life back. And I want it now. Audrey's all I've got. And you can't stop me. In case you've forgotten, I'm very good at disappearing. And if you try sending someone after us, I'll kill 'em. Pretty good at that too.
James Heller: Simply getting your life back, Jack, isn't gonna change who you are. And you can't walk away from it. You know that. You've tried it. Sooner or later you're gonna get back in the game, and my daughter's gonna pay the price. Like your WIFE did.
Jack Bauer: You son of a bitch.
