Jack and Yusef drove towards the warehouse. Rumor was the marines were also coming to rescue Bartlett. This was good, even Jack Bauer couldn't stop all the terrorists alone. Eve in the pre-dawn hours Jack and Yusef could see guards, with assault weapons. Chloe said there had been an electrical spike at 3:30am, and the money trails linked this building to alqueda. Meanwhile Juma was brought to see his "rescuer" Syed Ali. Juma also saw his liuetenant Hakim. Hakim looked like he'd been recently beaten. Syed put a gun to Juma's head.
.
Syed: We lost operatives, friends. Shariff was the highest ranking alqueda operative in any government. This man who saved you was imbedded in America's intelligence community. As we speak the American bombers are heading towards my homeland, and my brother is about to give his life for Allah. All because we trusted you. I understand why we had to keep you from talking. Tell me why I shouldn't just kill you now.
Juma: I can still be useful. Neither of us will survive this, but we can show the Americans what war with your coutry will entail. One final act of destruction. Perhaps it will even convince Hellar to call of his bombers.
Syed: I doubt it. But you are right about one thing. If we are at war, we need to damage their ability to attack. What exactly do you have in mind?
.
As Juma explained his plan to Syed, Syed looked up what his brother was planning. The broadcast begun. Calling it a "trial" was clearly a lie. Bartlett was tied to a chair with a gag over his mouth. Ishmael wasn't even bothering with a mask, he didn't plan on being alive much longer, and he wanted the world to know who killed the president of America.
.
Ishmael: We are about to embark on a mission of justice that will change the world. No longer will justice be merely the propogandist tool of the power elite, it will once again be the instrument of the people. By chosen warriors whose courage to use the sword has made this day not only possible, but inevitable.
.
Jack was waiting for the marines to come. He didn't know exactly how long Ishmael was planning to make this "trial" but they didn't have much time. Nadia called Jack.
.
Nadia: Jack, Hellar's ordering you to stand down.
Jack: I do that, they will kill the president.
Nadia: I know. He's planning to kill them all with a drone strike. Hellar's pretext is that Bartlett can't be rescued, he's doing this to prevent the terrorists from winning.
Jack: I'm going in, Yusef can cover me while I'm still outside.
Nadia: You do this, you'll die too.
Jack: If I die, just make sure Hellar does ot remain in the White House.
.
Jack went on his mission, likely the last mission of his life. But if he failed, many others would die too. It was what he had to do.
