2:00 A.M.
Another gunfight has broken out in the factory. Jack and Chloe have taken up position behind the beams on the left side. Near the center, John shoots a sniper on the balcony with his rifle and the man falls to the lower level, dead. John hurries over to him and grabs the man's sniper rifle and pistol. He joins Jack and Chloe and fires on Huang and his men.
2:02 A.M.
Springer lies lifelessly in the electrical closet where Benash hid him. Springer opens his eyes and regains consciousness. He is very groggy and it takes him several moments to comprehend where he is and remember what happened to him. It all comes rushing back to him and he urgently tries to lift himself up off the floor, but he is still weak. Springer gathers all his strength and manages to get on his feet. He tries to open the closet door, but the lock is jammed. Grunting, Springer bangs the door with his shoulder in an attempt to get it open. It doesn't budge.
2:04 A.M.
Audrey sits with the ranking Secret Service agent in the security section of Air Force One. She explains to Agent Hollister that she was supposed to meet Springer in his office two hours ago, but when she stopped by, he was not there. Minutes later, the office was darkened and locked. Hollister looks at Audrey skeptically. Audrey insists that this is not just some intra-office squabbling. The pressing matter Springer was going to discuss with her involved national security and Benash. That's why she knows this was not an abrupt decision to stand her up and why she knows that Benash is responsible for Springer's disappearance. But Hollister still needs more evidence before he can order a search of the plane. Frustrated, Audrey puts his hands to her face, groaning. Resting the temple of her nose on her fingers, Audrey contemplates her next move. Finally, she makes her decision. "You HAVE noticed how often Benash has visited the President this flight, right?" Audrey asks. Hollister answers that he has, and Audrey asks him to keep what she is about to say to himself. No one can know until after the summit. Hollister agrees.
2:06 A.M.
Huang and Lin flee to the upper level as the gunfight rages below them. Huang calls Benash, who had heard the first shots of the battle and wants to know what the hell is going on. Huang tells him that John actually came to them, but has killed a good portion of his men. Benash is annoyed and expresses his concern that John will bring down their entire operation. Huang sternly orders Benash not to worry. He assures him that he'll be able to handle John without a problem. Huang reminds Benash that he is the one vital to carrying out their attack, and that all he needs to be focused on is making sure no one finds out the truth. Benash meekly promises his boss that the drug he gave Springer should knock him out until well after the deed has been done. Huang reiterates that Springer must not be allowed to share anything he found on Benash's phone. Benash agrees. Huang hangs up and, seeing more of his men being taken down, orders Lin to bring him the projector.
2:07 A.M.
Below, Jack, John, and Chloe continue to successfully fend themselves off from Huang's men. Jack yells to John and Chloe that they need to conserve their bullets. John expresses his surprise to Jack and Chloe that Huang has access to so many men and vehicles. Jack informs John that Huang is the one behind the terrorist threat to the summit. John is flabbergasted. "This is the bastard I've been looking for," John whispers. With a renewed focus, he fires fiercely on Huang's henchmen, killing one of them.
2:08 A.M.
Audrey tells Agent Hollister that she and Springer were planning to meet to discuss what he had found on Benash's phone when he abruptly disappeared. Benash later got his phone back and admitted to Audrey that he lied to Gardner about finding it in his seat. She believes Benash got to Springer and that something terrible has happened. Hollister finishes writing down his notes and thanks Audrey for sharing. He asks if the President could confirm the terrorist's threat and the necessity to steal Benash's phone. Audrey bites her lip and glances away. Hollister is perplexed, and Audrey shamefully answers that Gardner believes that Springer went to sleep as Benash claimed and is deeply upset that she and Springer went behind his back. He does not want to pursue this matter any further. Hollister nods his head softly, pensive. He tells Audrey that he'll think about this and get back to her soon. Audrey thanks him, but does not leave her seat. Hollister repeats that he'll get back to her, but Audrey says she'll stay here until he has come to a decision. Hollister sighs.
2:09 A.M.
His frustration building, Springer slams his body into the door, but to no avail. Springer curses Benash and begins pounding on the door with his fist, yelling out that he's been attacked. But no one can hear him in the remote part of the plane.
2:10 A.M.
The gunfight in the factory calms down as more of Huang's men are killed and run out of ammo. Jack tells John and Chloe that he believes Huang is down to just three men. Chloe fears that there are more outside, lying in wait, but John says that he took out the sentries on his way in. John is more concerned about Huang, who he hasn't seen since the opening moments. Suddenly, Huang's voice blasts over the intercom system. He congratulates John for successfully infiltrating his location and killing many of his men, but assures John that it has not ruined him and his operation to assassinate the APEC leaders. He has more than enough devoted freedom fighters and mercenaries at his disposal to ensure that the attack happens on schedule. Huang orders his remaining men to drop their weapons and slide them across the floor to John's eye line. Jack, John, and Chloe look at each other suspiciously as Huang's henchmen comply. Huang tells John that that he has won this round, but that it will be his downfall. Huang calls out to Lin, and Lin turns on a projector attached to a laptop computer. Live video appears on the factory floor of a woman and young girl tied up and their mouths taped. "I was on to you, Captain John Hansen," Huang says darkly. Huang states that he grew suspicious of John's work for one of his cells and figured out that he was an American spy. So he had John's wife and daughter kidnapped and brought to China. Nauseous, John steps out into the open area, casting a shadow over the video being projected. Jack bangs his head again the beam, reliving his own experience. From the office, Huang gives the go-ahead to someone over the phone and a masked man on the video removes the tape from the woman's mouth. She fearfully tells John that men came into their home with guns and then took her and Jen onto a plane. She has no idea where they are. "Please, don't let them hurt us," she begs. Suddenly, the video cuts out, and John cries out for Emily and Jen. Huang coldly answers that that is up to John. Suddenly, Huang's men stand up from their hidden positions and aim the guns they had not dropped. John, not missing a step, raises his gun and aims at them as well. Huang announces to John that he has a choice to make: continue trying to escape or surrender himself to his men. Once that happens, they will negotiate the terms of his family's release. Gripping his gun, John pants heavily, almost at the point of hyperventilation. Panicked, he looks at Jack and Chloe and then at Lin and the projector. Jack, aiming his gun as well, does not keep his eye off of the henchmen, utterly disgusted with what Huang has done. John closes his eyes in absolute agony, but then turns to Jack and gives him a nod. Jack nods back. Taking a deep breath, John shoots the two men in rapid succession. John runs to the door with Jack and Chloe, exchanging fire with the third man. Jack and Chloe escape to the outside as John kills the final henchman. Huang calmly says over the intercom that he understands John's decision and will give him two hours to turn himself in. If he does not, his wife and daughter will die. The live video of Emily and Jen is projected back on the floor. Huang tells John to meet him in an office in an industrial park a mile down the road if he's serious about saving his family. In anguish, John looks at the video and then looks at Jack and Chloe exchange gunfire with a man as they try to flee into the woods. John agonizingly turns away from the video and shoots the hostile, killing him. He then joins Jack and Chloe as they escape into the forest.

2:18 A.M.
Agent Hollister puts down his phone and tells Audrey that Springer is still not answering his office phone. Audrey insists that he won't answer it because he's not in there. But Hollister is still not fully convinced that Springer is missing and that a search is necessary. There are plenty of other reasons that could explain why Springer's office is locked and darkened and why the phone is going unanswered. Trying to restrain her annoyance, Audrey tells Hollister that she respects the need to follow protocol, but by the time they finally act, it may be too late. Hollister understands Audrey's fear for her colleague but, without a direct order from the President, he's uncomfortable acting on the unconfirmed speculation of one person. Audrey winces as she considers bringing Gardner into this. Hollister apologizes, but Audrey says that she can get him confirmation, offering Hollister the access codes to her secure White House account, where he'll be able to verify everything that she has said. Hollister accepts.
2:20 A.M.
Jack, John, and Chloe run quickly through the woods. John calls out to Jack and Chloe that he needs to stop for a moment to catch his breath. Jack and Chloe come to a rest as John leans back against a tree, winded and sweating profusely. Jack thanks John for saving them and says that he is so sorry about what Huang has done. Jack knows exactly what John is going through. Chloe softly asks John what he plans to do. Huang can't be happy John chose to escape and attempt to stop the terrorist attack instead of trying to save his family. Not used to Chloe's sometimes inappropriate bluntness, John slams the tree with the palm of his hand and harshly assures Chloe that he will save his family. "And Huang will pay..." John sneers as he walks past her. John takes off and heads deeper into the forest. Chloe looks down at the ground in shame, upset over what she just said. Jack rubs Chloe's shoulder tenderly, and quietly tells her that they should catch up. Holding back tears, Chloe nods and she and Jack resume their flight.
2:21 A.M.
Huang and Lin urgently pack up their things at the factory. Lin is concerned about the fugitives' escape and what they could tell the authorities. Huang sternly tells Lin that he shouldn't be. The authorities are already aware about the threat to the summit, per design. John, Jack, and Chloe don't know any more than the people they're trying to warn. Lin rejoins that John knows that they delivered a threat to Gardner nine hours ago but that the attack will be carried out regardless. If Benash is removed from the President's loop, then their whole plan falls apart. Huang punches Lin in the stomach, ordering his subordinate to trust him to handle John.
2:22 A.M.
Audrey shows Agent Hollister the official, confidential report on the kidnapping of the Vietnamese President and the terrorist's demand that Benash be brought into Gardner's inner circle. Hollister nods his head in deep thought as part of Audrey's story is proven to be true. Audrey explains that she never agreed with the President's decision to actually give in to this demand and that she felt this Vietnamese paramilitary group's apparent desire to handing some American reporter the greatest opportunity of his career was suspicious from the start. She then directs Hollister to the background search that the FBI and CIA complied on Benash, which reports that Benash has had extensive dealings with the extremist group the People's Freedom Coalition, all allegedly for an expos he wrote for the New York Times. Considering everything that's happened today, Audrey cannot believe that Benash is completely innocent in all of this and that Springer is simply sleeping in his office. Hollister leans back in his chair and rests his chin on his hand. After a moment, he decides to check out Springer's office for himself and asks Audrey to come with him.
2:23 A.M.
Hollister walks out of the security section with Audrey and silently instructs two agents to join them. They authoritatively approach Springer's darkened office and Hollister pounds on the door, asking if Springer is in there. Getting no response, the agent gives a nod to his subordinate and the man kicks open the door. The agents march into the room and quickly determine that Springer is not present. Audrey enters, whatever faint hope she had that Benash was telling the truth rapidly fading away, and sees the agents notice a chair lodged under the knob, with the top attached to the knob by a tie. Eyes widening in horror, Audrey alerts the agents that she recognizes the tie as Benash's, which he claimed he had spilt coffee on. Hollister urgently radios his detail that Springer is missing and orders a sweep of the plane.
2:24 A.M.
In front of the curtain to the press section, Benash quietly tells Huang over the phone that it was very risky letting John escape with Jack and Chloe. Huang warns Benash not to undermine his authority, explaining that John took out all of his men at the factory. Huang firmly assures Benash that what has happened changes nothing. Their attack will still be successful. Benash notices the increased activity by the Secret Service agents as they search the plane for Springer, and tells Huang that he'll call back once they land. Benash hangs up and brashly asks a passing agent what's going on. The man doesn't even acknowledge Benash as he urgently heads into the press section. Benash gulps and rubs his suddenly sweaty palms in concern.
2:25 A.M.
Springer continues to pound the closet door and yell out for help. Still getting no answer, Springer viciously slams into the door with the full strength of his body, but it refuses to budge. His anger at a climax, Springer backs up in the cramped space and launches himself at the door. This time, finally, the door bursts open, and Springer tumbles out into the corridor and onto the floor. Two Secret Service agents turn a corner and come upon Springer as he is feebly sitting up. They immediately go to check on his condition. One of the agents alerts the others that they have found Springer.
-Commercial Break-
2:30 A.M.
Surrounded by Secret Service agents, Springer sits on a bench by the plane windows drinking a cup of water. Hollister approaches with Audrey and she is relieved to see Springer alive and well. Audrey runs up to Springer and hugs him, saying that she was so worried about him. One of the agents respectfully asks Audrey to give them some space. Audrey steps back as Hollister tells his subordinates that he and Audrey will take it from here. They leave, and the ranking agent tells Springer that Audrey told him about Benash's involvement in the terrorist threat, his leaks, and their plan to steal his phone. Now he needs to know just why Springer was lying on the floor outside of an electrical closet. Glancing at Audrey, Springer admits that what she said is true and that he was hiding the phone in the closet, but, biting his lip and looking embarrassed, claims that he has been drinking all flight, deeply stressed over all the political damage Benash has inflicted on the administration, and that he simply passed out in the closet. He gives a stern look to Audrey, urging her not to challenge the story. Springer asks the agent if they found a satellite phone in the closet. Hollister says they did not and that Audrey claims Benash somehow got it back from him. Springer assumes that Benash found him there and took back his phone. Hollister tells Springer that they found his office chair attached to his doorknob with a tie that Audrey claims is Benash's. Not missing a beat, Springer claims that he blacked out from the alcohol after his last conversation with Audrey and must have done it himself in his stupor. Springer apologizes to Audrey and Hollister for his deplorable drunken behavior and needlessly worrying them. The agent looks at Springer in utter bewilderment, and suspiciously asks Audrey if she forgot to mention seeing Springer drinking during their interactions today. Springer stares her down, and Audrey has no choice but to say that she did forget and apologize. With a straight face, Springer assures Hollister that everything's all right now and that they don't need to wake the President. Hollister tries his best to hold in his venom as he tells Springer and Audrey that he understands and that he'll be in the security section if they need him. He leaves. When the man is out of their earshot, Audrey irately asks Springer what the hell is going on. She knows he has been sober all flight. Springer softly tells Audrey that he'll explain everything. He asks her to meet him in his office in a few minutes.
2:33 A.M.
As they run, Jack, John, and Chloe come upon a darkened cabin in the middle of the woods. They all slow to a stop, wary of who may be in there. Jack says that he will check it out. Aiming his gun, Jack carefully approaches the cabin and enters. John and Chloe are nervous as they wait. Jack emerges soon after and happily announces that the cabin is abandoned. Chloe wants to keep moving, but Jack counters that they're all exhausted and should use the cabin as a shelter to regroup and plan their next move. On edge, Chloe is worried that Huang is pursuing them, but John assures her that Huang is down to just one man for the moment and that even if he did manage to track them down, they'd be in a much better position to fend off an attack from the cabin. Chloe understands, and she and John walk into the building with Jack. The one-room cabin appears to not have been visited by another human being in many years and cobwebs have taken over. As Jack tries to find anything in the cabin that could help them, Chloe apologizes to John for her rudeness earlier. Holding back tears, Chloe says she can't imagine how terrible it must have been for John to choose between trying to save her and Jack, or trying to save his wife and daughter. John accepts Chloe's apology, kindly patting her shoulder, explaining that as much as it makes him sick to his stomach, it wasn't really a choice. "I have a sworn duty to protect my country," John says. Despite all his misgivings, he had to put the life of the President ahead of Emily and Jen. John is lucky, though, that after Jack and Chloe managed to get out of the factory, Huang announced that John had two hours to report to an office in an industrial park down the road from the factory to negotiate for their release. While John doesn't trust Huang at all, at least he has a chance to save them. John breaks down in tears as he regrets ever putting their lives in danger with his line of work. Jack comes over to join Chloe in comforting him. Jack assures John that what Huang did was not his fault at all. John whimpers that it is his fault; they would be safe at home if he had chosen another career. Jack looks away, having no answer to that.
2:36 A.M.
Looking around cautiously, Springer approaches his office and opens the door. Audrey is already there waiting for him, and demands to know why he lied to Secret Service. Springer tells Audrey to keep her voice down and enters the room, carefully shutting the door behind him. Audrey asks again what the hell is going on and Springer answers that Benash attacked him in that electrical closet. Seething, Springer explains that during their struggle, Benash injected a syringe with some chemical into his chest. "I'm lucky that son of a bitch didn't kill me," Springer sneers. Audrey is horrified. Springer doesn't know how Benash managed to smuggle that dangerous drug onto Air Force One, but he's now surer than ever before that Benash is involved with these terrorists. And he and Audrey cannot trust anyone else onboard, not even Secret Service. It's possible one of them helped Benash sneak that syringe onto the plane. Springer says that the two of them will have to handle this on their own and bring whatever evidence they find to the President himself. Audrey agrees and asks Springer what he managed to find on Benash's phone before he was assaulted. Springer says that while Benash took the notepad he was writing the numbers on, he does remember that most of them were legitimate and had valid codes for both the United States and China, but one number Benash has called many times over the last twelve hours was blocked. That only serves to reaffirm Springer's staunch belief that Benash is in contact with the terrorists threatening the summit. Springer asserts that they need to find out who Benash has been talking to and as soon as possible. Audrey realizes that Springer wants to steal Benash's phone again. She warns Springer that Benash has been keeping the phone on him since he got it back. It's going to be impossible to take it again without Benash knowing. But Springer doesn't care, saying that there is no time for subterfuge. They need to openly engage Benash.

2:42 A.M.
Jack vigilantly looks out the window of the abandoned cabin. Chloe comes up from behind and hugs him. She thanks Jack again for saving her life, expressing that he has no idea how much it means to her. Jack turns around and tells Chloe that she never needed to worry about him not coming for her. He would do anything to protect his friends. Lip shaking, Chloe breaks away from Jack's eye contact and looks into the distance. Concerned, Jack asks Chloe what's wrong, but gets no response. Before Jack can press the matter further, John approaches them. Jack asks how John is feeling. John answers that it's been a long day and it's only going to get tougher, but that he is feeling better than he did a few minutes ago. Jack tightly nods his head, expressing once again how sorry he is about Emily and Jen. John thanks him, and informs Jack and Chloe that he has decided to go to that industrial park and surrender himself to Huang. He can only hope that Huang will hold to his end of the offer and keep his family alive for the next two hours. Jack understands John's decision, and assures him that he and Chloe will find a way to alert the authorities about the threat to the APEC summit and the fact that they cannot underestimate Huang. John thanks Jack for that, relieved that he will not be abandoning the safety of the summit and the President by making the choice to save his family. Jack promises that the personal trauma John has had to endure for his mission will be not in vain. John extends his hand, and Jack shakes it. John thanks Jack from the bottom of his heart for saving his life and getting him out of that prison. Jack thanks John for rescuing them from the factory. John smiles, and looks to Chloe, who is sitting in an old wooden chair, and thanks her for her resourcefulness and for getting them closer to Mongolia. But Chloe continues to stare into space and does not acknowledge John. Jack calls out Chloe's name, and she snaps back to reality. John reiterates his gratitude, and Chloe mechanically thanks John in return. John knows that it's been a horrible evening for all of them, and apologizes to Chloe for everything that has happened to her. Chloe says nothing, despondent. John sighs in distress over Chloe, but turns to Jack and tells him that it's been an honor working with him today. Jack replies that he is grateful he got the chance to meet him. John nods his head, humbled, and he walks toward the cabin door. "Good luck," Jack says before John can leave. John smiles at Jack for the final time and then heads out into the wilderness.
2:45 A.M.
Benash sits in his seat in the press section as the rest of the press corps tries to catch some rest before the summit. He nervously taps his phone, constantly looking over his shoulder at the curtain. Finally, unable to take it anymore, Benash jumps out of his seat and walks out of the section. He finds the nearest Secret Service agent and abruptly asks him what's going on. The man looks at Benash with an odd look and asks him to return to his seat. But Benash persists, saying that he noticed a flurry of activity from the agents earlier and that he wants to know what the situation is. The agent exasperatedly tells Benash that that is confidential information and asks him again to return to his seat. Benash feigns panic that there is a problem with the plane, maybe even a terrorist threat, and that Secret Service is irresponsibly hiding it from the press. Deeply annoyed, the agent snaps that the situation has passed and that if Benash doesn't stop bothering him, he'll carry him back to his seat. Without even acknowledging the agent's threat, Benash turns around and struts back to his seat, relieved and smirking.
2:46 A.M.
Audrey continues to refuse to help Springer with his plan to steal Benash's phone. But Springer insists that her help is the only way to make this work. Springer knows that if he's the one that approaches Benash, he'll know right away that he managed to escape from the closet and their aim of isolating Benash falls through. Audrey is the only one who can do this. Audrey concedes that she would not make Benash suspicious, but cautions Springer that once they do this, they will not be able to hide behind any veil of plausible deniability. If they cannot find the evidence against Benash, their careers will be over. Springer resolutely declares that this is worth losing his job for. Benash is a traitor that has to be stopped at all costs. Springer reminds Audrey that she stood up to Logan and asks if she's willing to make another principled stand. Audrey mulls this over, and then says that she will do it.
2:47 A.M.
Jack leans down next to Chloe and rubs her back caringly. He tells her that he is thinking about going outside and checking the moss to see which way is north. After that, they should leave and find the nearest road to the nearest town in order to anonymously report John's warning to the authorities. If they're able to get across the border to Mongolia in time, they should be able to provide a clearer picture to the authorities without fear of being captured and sent to a Chinese prison. Chloe asks in a near robotic tone what will happen to Huang. Jack says that hopefully the Chinese will be able to find him and arrest him for his crimes. This answer does not satisfy Chloe and she hastily gets up out of the chair. She fretfully paces around the room. Jack worriedly asks again what's wrong, and Chloe unconvincingly exclaims that nothing is. Jack goes over and gently touches Chloe's arm, but she jumps back in fright. He pleads with her that she can share anything with him. They've been through a lot together, this evening and over the years. Jack knows just how painful it can be. Her whole body shaking, Chloe whispers that it's only gotten worse. Jack closes his eyes in anguish as he says that he knows it has. Morris is in custody, they're fugitives on the run, and John's family is being held hostage. Jack swears that he's feeling it too, and that she shouldn't feel the need to hold it all in. It's completely healthy to be open with friends and talk about what just what you're going through. But Chloe, weeping, shakes her head and turns away, looking out the window. Jack admits that he feels personally responsible for all the horrors she has had to endure over the last three years, from Andrew Paige's injuries to the deaths of Palmer, Michelle, Tony, and Edgar...to tonight. Jack knows none of them would have happened if not for him, and he apologizes profusely for everything he has put her through. Her defenses breaking down, Chloe turns around and looks sorrowfully at Jack, knowing that he is putting way too much blame on himself. Crying, Chloe goes to Jack and hugs him. She mutters that what has happened to her is not Jack's fault at all. Jack says that he hates it, but that's how he honestly feels. Tears falling, Chloe insists that he shouldn't. "You didn't rape me, Jack," Chloe sobs. "Huang did." Jack is devastated and lowers his head in agony. As they continue to hug each other in comfort, Jack wipes a tear from his eye.

2:54 A.M.
Audrey walks with purpose to the press section. She gets to the curtain and, taking a deep breath, steps in and approaches Benash, who is going over his notes. Benash looks up at Audrey with a smug smile on his face. Holding back her distaste, Audrey tells Benash that the President has woken up and wants to see him. Beaming, Benash puts his notepad in his suit and enthusiastically gets up out of his seat to follow Audrey out of the press section. As they walk, Benash condescendingly observes that Audrey has calmed down from worrying about Springer's location. Audrey claims that she's still upset over that, but that it's no longer worth wasting her energy. Benash is confused when Audrey stops in front of Springer's office. He notices that the office is no longer darkened. Audrey says that Gardner is waiting for him inside. Benash is alarmed, but before he can do anything, Audrey opens the door and gently leads him inside. Biting his lip, Benash asks where the President is. Suddenly, he is knocked out by a punch from Springer. Audrey catches him before he can hit the floor and lays him down on his back. Springer instructs Audrey to close the door as he leans down and goes through the pockets of Benash's suit. He finds the satellite phone.
2:56 A.M.
Jack and Chloe sit on the floor of the darkened cabin. Chloe weeps that Huang violated her and needs to face justice for what he's done. Jack compassionately assures her that Huang will be given the death sentence by the Chinese government for his treasonous activity. But Chloe sniffles that Huang will not be charged with rape unless she comes forward, but she can't because she'd be imprisoned for the death of that courthouse guard. Chloe breaks down in tears, distraught that Huang will get away with hurting her like this. All Jack can do is reach over and pat her shoulder, promising Chloe that everything will work out. Chloe recoils from Jack's contact and leaps up away from him, screaming that it will not. Huang is a monster and instead of killing him, they're letting him live in the faint hope that the Chinese will be able to stop him. John is actually going to surrender himself to beg for his family. Standing up, Jack implores Chloe to calm down, reminding her that John has no choice. But Chloe knows that Huang can't be trusted, and John shouldn't trust Huang to do anything he says he will. Jack concedes her point, but expresses that John at least has to try. Jack says he'd be doing the same thing. Chloe shrieks that the "old Jack" would've already killed an evil terrorist like Huang, snidely wondering what two years of Chinese captivity has done to Jack. Offended, Jack explains that he is only trying to protect her, John, and John's family. Chloe yells that Jack couldn't protect her from being raped by Huang. Jack tries to comfort her, but Chloe pushes him away. Deeply upset, Jack apologizes for what has happened, but Chloe tells Jack to shut up. Chloe questions whether Jack knew all along that Huang was a terrorist planning an attack against the summit and developed Stockholm syndrome toward his captor. Jack strongly denies her accusation. But Chloe speculates that Jack's supposed sympathy for the terrorist cause is why he refused to search Huang's dead henchmen for phones in order to alert the authorities and why he didn't accompany John to the industrial park to confront Huang. Jack insists that they didn't have time to search the bodies for phones and that he can't endanger his life or Chloe's anymore, not with the lives of so many world leaders in the balance; they need to get across the border as soon as possible. But Chloe screams that they need to kill Huang now, when they know exactly where he is. Chloe calls Jack a coward, believing that had Jack gone with John, the two of them could've threatened Huang to give up Emily and Jen and then killed him, ending the threat once and for all. Losing patience, Jack exclaims that Huang would probably kill Emily and Jen on the spot if John doesn't show up alone, never mind that killing Huang might not stop the attack at all. "I knew it! You're defending him!" Chloe screeches. "You're just as bad as Huang!" Jack tries to comfort her again, but instead Chloe punches him in the groin, sending him to the floor in pain. She takes Jack's gun off of a table and rushes out of the cabin. Grunting in pain, Jack crawls over to the window and looks out. He cries for Chloe to stop as he watches her vanish into the darkness.
