President Palmer and the others watch helplessly as Jackson and his two march over the dead bodies to the reactor. Jack knows there is nothing he can do about his friends dying, but he can make sure they didn't die in vain. He listens as Jackson makes a call on his cellphone. Presumably the man on the other end is Monroe, in charge of taking down the other reactor.
.
Jackson: Are you near your reactor?
Monroe: No. CTU has disabled our cannisters.
Jackson: They'll be here in a few minutes.
Monroe: I know, I'll run towards the reactor, try to get close enough to the reactor before they kill me.
Jackson: Okay. I'll detonate in five minutes, regardless of how close you are.
Monroe: Understood sir.
.
Jack now knew what to expect. As Monroe came rushing towards him his two comrades provided cover fire. CTU killed Monroe first, then took out the other two. Jack searched all three dead bodies for explosives, he couldn't find any. Jackson recieved another call. Christopher Henderson and Nadia Yassir were on the line, both hoping to persuade him not to detonate.
.
Henderson: Jackson, you don't want to kill innocent Americans.
Jackson: Noone is innocent in this country. You said it yourself, in 20 years there will either be an American flag over Mecca, or the crescent moon over the white house. I just prefer the second one.
Nadia: Mr Jackson, my name is Nadia Yassir. I am a muslim, and I work for CTU.
Jackson: No true muslim would work for America. Not after all they've done to our countries.
Nadia: The Koran says the killing on one innocent is no better than genocide.
Jackson: And yet you serve an evil regime that slaughters scores of my people. And still you have the audacity to lecture me about my faith.
.
As he was speaking Jackson saw Proctor's cellphone. He realized the Americans were listening in. Jackson destroyed the cellphone, leaving CTU in the dark. He then tried calling Monroe again. As Jack heard the phone ring he realized, the bomb was in the cellphone. He grabbed it and ran away from the reactor. Jackson entered the code for both cellphones to explode. Jack threw the phone in the air just before it blew up. Jackson and his team were killed, their reactor blew up. But the other reactor shut down, completely destroying the possibility of melting this plant down and foiling the terrorist plans.
