At CTU Nadia walks in. Mandy is brought to interrogation in hand-cuffs. Maybe she'll be executed later, maybe she'll somehow weasel immunity. But that's a fight for another day. Nadia goes to her office, Alberta is here, making herself at home. Nadia tells Alberta to either fire her, or get out of her chair. Alberta doesn't like this, but she walks out. David comes to see Nadia, and they have their first kiss. They see little point in denying their feelings anymore. As they kiss Chloe O'Brien walks in.
.
Chloe: Sorry to interrupt. I just want to say that when this is over, I'm leaving. After everything that's happenned, I need to be there for Jill.
David: We'll miss you, but understand.
Nadia: If you need a letter of reference, don't hesitate to ask.
Chloe: Thank you. I've had some offers from the private sector, I'll be okay.
Nadia: We should all get back to work. The team will be at Max's compoud in less than 30 minutes.

From his hiding spot Jack makes his final call, to Chloe's answering machine.
.
Jack: Chloe, I want you to know how sorry I am. And to suggest you leave CTU. I failed Kim because I put my other duties first. Don't let that happen with Jill. I understand why you won't forgive me. Just know that I will always consider you my friend.

Jack the hung up and destroyed his phone. He put on his uniform that he'd stolen and walked up to the building. With his helmet on, Jack hopes the other guards won't recognize him. Jack's plan is to simply kill Max when he comes to his helicopter. The other guards will then kill Jack, but it wil be worth it. The virus will kill Jack soon enough anyway. Max will pay, not just for those he killed, but for those he corrupted. Kimberly, Kate Warner, Christopher Henderson, Jack's own brother and father. A part of Jack realized he was deluding himself, those people made their own decisions. But right now Jack needed this sun was rising. Jack never thought he'd live to see the sunlight again. He had no delusion of living through the end of the day. But now, with Palmer alive, and Jack again a soldier, not a rebel, he felt hope.
