(I was surprised they didn’t try to get Boudreau involved in this scenario in an attempt to redeem his character.) Kim Raver’s best acting this season was her reacting to Morgan’s instructions so she could figure out where the sniper was. So, who thought Audrey was going to make it? After the conversation between Jack and Chloe, I thought the show was setting us up for a cruel switch by having Audrey live and Chloe be the sacrificial lamb for Jack’s sins, but that didn’t turn out to be the case. This led into the extended suspense sequence of Morgan rescuing Audrey. Jack told her, “It’s not your fault, Chloe. When he told her that the reason they were going dark was because Cheng had a sniper on Audrey and Morgan was trying to rescue her, Chloe felt responsible. She said, “I need to try to make this right … At this point, I think I’m the only friend you have left, whether you want to admit it or not.” That’s all Jack needed to hear to know Chloe was with him. All she could do was offer to help him get Cheng.
Chloe knew there wasn’t really an excuse good enough for Jack. Jack pretty much knew Chloe wasn’t responsible for the sinking of the Chinese ship, but he needed to know how she could be manipulated so badly. The reunion scene between Jack and Chloe was both touching and ominous. He asked her, “You really think you can handle this?” Morgan answered, “Yes,” and we sucked in our breath.
24 SEASON 2 LAST EPISODE PROFESSIONAL
Jack was initially going to go after Audrey, but Morgan’s ability to separate the personal from the professional allowed her to convince Jack to let her go after Audrey while he went after Cheng. That led into the extended parallel mission of going after Cheng and saving Audrey. There was something darkly funny in the way he told Jack, “Stop tracking me!” He looked like a bully getting backed into his own corner. He knows he has the upper hand on Jack, but he also knows Jack won’t back off. Fairley had moments of brilliance, but Tzi Ma has brought an almost sweaty desperation to his scenes. I think I’m not alone in feeling that Cheng has been a better villain these last three episodes than Michelle Fairley was the rest of the season. When Boudreau discovered that Audrey was being held captive, Jack immediately knew that his fate was catching up with him. The opening found Jack and Morgan looking for clues at the Russia house. He knows he’s destined to live the same day over and over again. Jack is not a religious man, but he knows about karma. The paradox of Jack helping the ones he loves is that eventually he will let them down for the greater good. He popped back up because he felt obligated to protect those he had abandoned. This season has been about Jack keeping his distance in order to do what needs to be done. This is something Jack Bauer has come to accept over the course of nine long days. Throughout this compressed “event season,” it felt like Jack was trying to out-think, out-maneuver his fate, and for a moment it looked like he might’ve.īut one of the bitter themes of 24 is how personal sacrifices seem to be a necessity for security.
But the thing with Jack is his my-way-or-the-highway approach to diplomacy comes with a personal price, and I don’t just mean for those around him. He accomplished more in one day (again) than most field agents can do in a 30-year career. Jack Bauer’s mission to keep the president and his family (and us) safe was mostly successful.
