- Quotes
Jack Bauer: Where are the eleven vials?
Stephen Saunders: [Referring to his laptop computer] you're wasting your time, I'm not foolish enough to have that information on there
Jack Bauer: Where are the vials?
Stephen Saunders: In the hands of dedicated men: true believers
Jack Bauer: Believers in what?
Stephen Saunders: That the greatest threat to world peace comes from this country
Jack Bauer: There's a hotel not far from here, where eight hundred innocent people are dead or dying because of you, were they a threat to your world peace?
Stephen Saunders: The United States must be forced to retreat within its own borders. Those people are simply the "casualties" of war
Jack Bauer: What happened to you?
Stephen Saunders: I was abandoned by the people I worked for, as you will be someday. My message will be heard in less than one hour
Jack Bauer: What're you talking about?
Stephen Saunders: My couriers have been instructed to release the virus and they're in "fail safe" mode where they can't be caught
Jack Bauer: Tell us where they are, we'll stop them
Stephen Saunders: That is possible, if only you agree to my terms
Jack Bauer: What are your terms?
Stephen Saunders: I have a private jet in Van Nuys Airport, I need to be on it with a Presidential guarantee of safe passage to North Africa
Jack Bauer: That's not going to happen
Stephen Saunders: Then hundreds of thousands will die. I know what you're thinking, the Bosnian secret police worked on me for two years and couldn't break me, and do you really think you'll be able to do it in less than an hour? Get me on that plane, you don't have a choice
Having helped Senator Keeler frame her ex-husband, she now has to deal with three people: David Palmer, who has one last desperate plan to stop her; Wayne Palmer, who is trying to destroy the evidence she used in her scheme; and the paranoid Julia Milliken (Gina Torres), who believes the truth about her spouse's death might leak out and is determined to prevent that from happening at all costs.
Then we have the virus storyline, which takes an unexpected turn as Stephen Saunders is neutralized early on and the location of ten vials out of eleven is revealed in time. The eleventh, however, is being transported by a man named Rabens onto a subway train in Los Angeles, so Jack and Chase have to find him and stop a massacre.
Generally, the penultimate episode of a 24 season is the one where the situation appears to become unbearably tense, in preparation for the emotional overflow provided by the finale. Not this time, though: the suspense has the courtesy of bowing in favor of Johnson using every minute she has to leave a lasting impression before her departure. For three years, she fulfilled the "backstabbing hag" position admirably, and the 24 universe will be a very different place without her.
