In the oval office Reid takes a private call from Max.
.
Max: Hanson has the disc, he says it's secure as long as he is.
Reid: Can we trust him?
Max; We can trust him to act in his own best interest. What about Bowen?
Reid: He still refuses to consent to a nuclear attack. Bowen's no bleeding-heart, but he seems to be a nuclear pacifist.
Max: After what happens next, even Bowen will consent to it.
Reid: Maybe. But as long as Wayne Palmer is alive, I can't launch the nukes.
Max: You said the submarines will be in position in three hours. By then Palmer will be dead.
Reid: How?
Max: I have operatives in the white house, even his medical staff.
Reid: You never mentioned this before.
Max: It's my insurance, should you turn against me. Remember that.

Jack's group arrives at the safehouse. He and Nadia try to sneak inside. Meanwhile Kim quietly tries to undo her handcuffs. Chloe is still to much in her grief to notice. Hanson is in the abandoned safehouse. He is hiding the disc when he hears a noise. He draws his gun, and sees Jack Bauer. Hanson fires and takes cover.
.
Jack: Give us the disc and I'll let you go.
Hanson: I do that and Max'll kill me.
Jack: I'll kill you, I'll just enjoy it more than he will.
.
Hanson weighed his options. Max would kill him if he gave Jack the disc. Jack would kill him if he didn't. His only chance was to kill Jack now. Hanson tried to shoot Jack, but Nadia shot and killed him first. Jack and Nadia got the disc, it seemed to have been slightly damaged in the fight. Hopefully Chloe could still retrieve the neccessary intel. As they went outside they heard a struggle. Kim and Chloe were fighting each other for the gun. Chloe was on the ground, Kim was holding the gun on her. Jack told Kim to put the gun down. But Kim knew her only chance of absolution from Max was to eliminate Chloe. She didn't believe her father would really kill her. Jack didn't want to do it, but millions of lives were at stake. Jack shot Kim. She was still alive, but greatly wounded. Chloe and Nadia went to work on the disc, leaving Jack and Kim alone.
.
Kim: I'm sorry, for everything.
Jack: I'm sorry too.
Kim: Just finish it.
Jack: We can get you to a hospital.
Kim: And then what? Prison, the death penalty? I can't live like that. Please dad, just kill me.
Jack: I love you Kim, I need you to know that before..
.
Jack couldn't finish that sentance. He took his gun and shot Kim in the head. It was over, his little girl was dead. Jack held Kim's lifeless body and said "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
