Day 8 Spoilers

The NYPD finds Dana's body and takes Cole into custody. He identifies her. At the request of Jason Pillar, the NYPD prepares to send Cole to CTU for questioning. Meanwhile, in a cab, Jack watches the video he killed Dana for. It shows her talking with a Russian and planning Hassan's death. Jack uploads the file to Jim Ricker and asks him to identify the man in the video.

Pillar has CTU devote their full attention to capturing Jack. Chloe questions why Dana took Jack to the bank if there was no evidence for her to give to him. When Pillar dismisses her concerns, Chloe confides in Arlo that she thinks something's not right. Arlo won't listen.

Jack arrives at Ricker's. Ricker says that Jack is all over the police scanners, and he insists Jack tell him what's going on before he helps him. Jack explains about the cover-up, but Jim knows Jack's not being completely straight with him. Jack finally admits the truth: he's looking to make those responsible for Renee's death pay. This is good enough for Jim, who tells Jack that the man in the video is Pavel Tokarev. He doesn't know where Pavel is, just that he entered the U.S. a month ago with a diplomatic visa. Jack knows who can help him find Pavel: Meredith Reed, the journalist and former lover of President Hassan.

Jack calls Meredith, who just wrote a glowing profile of Hassan for her paper, and tells her he needs her help to expose the truth about Hassan's murderers. Jack reminds Meredith that he helped clear her name yesterday, and he asks her to meet him at a coffee stand at Turner's department store in twenty minutes.

Back at CTU, Pillar interrogates Cole, and point out that they've both been soldiers, and a soldier's duty is to obey the President. Cole just says that Pillar must be part of the cover-up. Eden calls Pillar and says they may have a line on Jack. As Cole is taken to holding, Eden tells Pillar that Arlo found a phone call to Meredith Reed featuring such keywords as Hassan, Russian government and Jack Bauer. Pillar has Arlo send the intercept to Eden's station. Arlo says he can handle it himself, but Pillar insists that Eden be in control of the search.

Pillar plays the conversation between Jack and Meredith for Logan and Novakovich. He says he's dispatched the Russian ops team to the department store while deploying NYPD away from there. It's the perfect opportunity to get rid of both Jack and the evidence. Logan wants to personally stay on top of things and asks Novakovich for Pavel's phone number.

Pillar sees Chloe staring up into his office and has Eden turn the windows opaque. Chloe voices her concerns to Arlo. The call must be from Jack. If it's not from Jack, why is Pillar being so secretive? Pillar just made three calls she can't trace, and the intercepted phone conversation was downloaded behind heavy firewalls. If the conversation was nothing, why hide it? If it's Jack, why aren't CTU and NYPD being deployed to capture him? Pillar and Eden must be part of the cover-up, and they're planning on taking Jack out. She needs Arlo's help, and he is finally persuaded.

Arlo is able to make a 90 second loop in the security camera feed so that Chloe can talk to Cole. She goes to his holding room and enters on Arlo's mark. Cole doesn't know where Jack is, and is reluctant to help. Jack killed Dana point blank, unarmed, so he's not interested in the cover-up. Cole is interested in executing everyone involved in Renee's death. There are no good guys here. Maybe it's best, he says, if Jack and Pillar end up killing each other. Chloe says that Jack's her friend, and she does care about exposing the cover-up. Cole finally says he thinks that Jack's working with someone. Somebody must have provided Jack with all that weaponry and equipment he showed up with. Chloe goes to Arlo and asks him to pull up a list of all of Jack's known associates.

Logan watches a news report about the imminent arrival in New York of Russian President Suvarov. He phones Pavel, who says his team is in place, but there's no sign of Jack yet. He gets orders from Logan to kill Meredith as well as Jack.

President Taylor is continuing peace negotiations with Dalia Hassan, but she's distracted and worried. An aide brings her a note: Logan wants to see her. Taylor meets with him in the next room and Logan says that Jack's got the evidence. However, they know exactly where he is and he will be "reacquired" soon. Logan also asks Taylor to follow through on her end of their agreement to publicly acknowledge his role in the peace process. Taylor reluctantly promises to have her press secretary make the announcement in time for the one o'clock news.

At the department store, Pavel, hides in a vent with a rifle. His operatives roam the store's floor in plainclothes. They see Meredith arrive. No Jack yet. Pillar and Eden watch from CTU via the store's security cameras. They spot Jack, but Pavel and his crew can't see him; he's using taller shoppers as cover and keeping his head down. Pillar starts yelling at Pavel that he should have a clean line on Jack. Pavel finally finds Jack and gets him in his sights...but then feels the barrel of a gun on the back of his head. It's Ricker, who forces Pavel to put his gun down. He then radios Jack an all-clear. Jack grabs Meredith. Pillar shouts for all units to take Jack out. Jack throws Meredith behind a clothes rack. Then he quickly takes out all the operatives who are firing at him as shoppers scream in terror. Jack grabs Meredith and runs for the escalator. Pillar realizes that Jack knew it was a trap. They've lost him. Jack and Meredith meet up with Ricker, who has Pavel hostage. They exit the building via a freight elevator.

Pillar reports the bad news to Logan, and advises him to distance himself from President Taylor now while he still has complete deniability. Logan says it's too late for that; the press release will link Logan to Taylor and the peace process. He's unwilling to ask Taylor to retract it and is confident that Pavel won't talk. He orders Pillar to use CTU's resources to find Jack. Eden is horrified that Logan wants to move forward.

Pillar leaves to lead a CTU SWAT team in removing all trace of the Russians from the department store, and has Eden tell NYPD to put a two-block perimeter around the store. If they ask why, invoke national security and the White House.

Arlo has found the security camera footage from the department store, confirming to him and Chloe that Pillar was indeed trying to kill Jack. They can use the footage to try to identify Jack's associate.

Jack and Ricker take Pavel and Meredith to an empty building. As Pavel's pockets are searched, Meredith, shaking, realizes that Jack used her and she could have been killed. She asks about the evidence and he gives her a tablet; the video is on there. Pavel is tied up. Meredith protests, so Jack has Ricker take her into the next room. With Pavel secured, Jack inspects his sniper rifle. It's the same model as the one that killed Renee. He asks Pavel point blank if he was the one who murdered Renee. "Go to hell," Pavel says calmly. "You first," Jack replies.

As Meredith watches the video, Jack begins to torture Pavel with a pair of pliers. Jack knows that Pavel could have killed Renee cleanly, but instead he shot her so she'd bleed out slowly and die in agony. He'll do the same to Pavel unless he talks. Pavel screams that he killed Renee himself. Jack begins to beat Pavel savagely. Meredith hears the screams and tells Ricker to stop him. She's got enough to go on with the video. Jack doesn't need to do this. Ricker tells her she's not going anywhere.

As Pillar shows the NYPD a photo of Jack and tells them to shoot on sight, Jack continues to torture Pavel. First he uses a knife, then a blowtorch. Yet Pavel won't say who gave the order. Jack turns away for a moment, frustrated. He finds Pavel's phone and realizes that the SIM card is missing. Pavel must have swallowed it. Jack takes a knife and cuts a hole in Pavel's belly to retrieve the card. As Pavel dies, Jack cleans the blood off the card, puts it in the phone, and hits redial. His eyes widen as he hears the voice mail message: "You have reached the office of President Charles Logan."

TOUGH telly action hero Kiefer Sutherland has revealed he is a secret fan - of Coronation Street.

Kiefer - Jack Bauer in 24 - has been following the ITV1 soap featuring fellow telly legend Jack Duckworth since he was a boy living in London.

Then when he moved to Canada with his mum in the Seventies he was able to watch it there too.

Kiefer said his love of British telly has continued ever since.

The 43-year-old said: "When I was a kid there was always Coronation Street."

More recently he has been a fan of The Office.

He added: "I love it, but find it very difficult to watch - especially when I see myself in David Brent and think 'I've done that'."

Kiefer also believes he shares attributes with his birthplace.

He said: "What is the phrase you use here... stiff upper lip? I definitely have that."

But it will soon be the end of the road for both Jacks.

Corrie's Jack Duckworth, on The Street since 1979, is to leave in December when the show celebrates 50 years.

Kiefer will be seen in his final episode of 24 on Sky1 on June 6.

Logan watches the news, pleased, as the new press secretary announces his role in the peace process. An aide tells him that President Suvarov will be touching down at JFK within the next half-hour. Logan's mood is undercut, however, when Pillar calls with news: Jack, in the company of reporter Meredith Reed, got away with the evidence, and Jack brutally murdered and eviscerated Pavel. Jack's out for blood.

In a back alley, Ricker tells Jack he'll need to go back to his place to track the number Pavel dialed on his cell phone. As he leaves, Jack tells Meredith the truth about the conspiracy, and that since she was seen with him, she can't go back to her home or office. He also throws away her cell phone. Meredith says she can trust her editor, Gary Klausner. Jack has her arrange to get the evidence to him on a pay phone. After that, she's on her own.

Dalia is suspicious of President Logan's involvement. She trusts President Taylor, but is still having Jamot try to find out exactly how Logan got the Russians back to the table.

Logan pulls President Taylor aside and tells her that Jack got away with the evidence. He exhorts her to call Klausner and have Meredith's story killed, under the pretence of national security. Taylor curses him; he's poison. She says the country survived his Presidency, but Logan points out that he inherited his office. She's a popular President, one who is so trusted that she even had her own daughter arrested rather than see justice go unserved. He's sure she'll do what needs to be done.

At CTU, Arlo shows Chloe the feed from Pillar's team. It is of Pavel's battered body and the gun that killed Renee. Chloe is still going to try to talk Jack down before Pillar's men kill him. Arlo has identified Jack's associate as Jim Ricker, who served with Jack in the Gulf War. However, the records show that Ricker's been dead for seven years. Chloe says they must find him so that they can find Jack.

Ricker has learned that he's tracing Logan's location and calls Jack, reluctantly giving up the information. He warns Jack that he's crossing a line there's no coming back from. "I wasn't planning on coming back," Jack says. Jack thanks Ricker for his help and tells him he doesn't have to be a part of this anymore. He then steals an SUV.

President Taylor, who has a headache, orders a reluctant Tim Woods to kill the story. Meanwhile, Meredith calls her editor Klausner with the basics. She arranges to meet him at a diner in fifteen minutes.

In Logan's limo, he's calmly speaking to Novakovich, who is panicking that Jack will come for him. Logan promises that Jack will never find him. However, Jack, suited up in full-body armor, arrives as Logan's limo enters the Park Avenue tunnel. Jack shoots out the tire of a cab, bringing traffic to a halt, and boxing Logan in. Logan, terrified, realizes that Jack is coming for him. Logan's Secret Service agents are unable to stop Jack, who slowly advances, while commuters flee in terror. Jack climbs onto the hood and begins firing at the bullet-proof windshield. The heavy artillery he got from Ricker allows him to crack the glass enough to make a small hole. He drops a canister of tear gas into the limo, forcing Logan to leave the vehicle. Jack takes Logan hostage, a gun to his head, threatening to kill him right here if he doesn't start moving.

As Chloe and Arlo figure out where Ricker's been living, they hear that Jack's kidnapped Logan. Chloe asks Arlo to patch into Pillar and Eden's phone calls. As Pillar's men track Jack, Pillar reminds them to shoot to kill.

Jack takes Logan to an empty utility room. Faced with a rageful Jack, a sweating, terrified Logan confesses everything. He protests his innocence in Renee's death; he was brought in afterwards. Logan claims there is no evidence, no complete list of names of everyone involved in the Russian plot to kill Hassan and derail the peace process. Logan was bluffing, and it worked, but Jack screwed everything up. With a gun to his chest and five seconds to confess, Logan gives up Novakovich's name. Jack then chokes Logan until he passes out, and flees a moment before Pillar and his men arrive and find Logan's unconscious form.

Back at CTU, Chloe and Arlo listen as Pillar calls Eden and reports what he's found. They need to get Jack before Pillar's men do, but how? All agents are already in the field. Chloe says there's one person they can send.

Eden demands to know why Chloe has ordered Cole released into her custody. Chloe claims it's because Pillar took away all her resources for security at the UN, and Cole's the one who designed the operation. She needs his help.

Meredith is waiting at the diner when she gets a call on the diner's phone from Klausner. The FBI arrived before he left and aren't allowing anybody to leave. They say the evidence she has poses a national security risk. Meredith tells him it's a cover-up, and Klausner tells her to protect that evidence. He says he told the FBI he hadn't had any contact with you, but they could be tracing this call. She had better get out of there. As the FBI bang on Klausner's office door, yelling that they told him no communication outside of their presence, he tells Meredith that he'll try to call Ed Sampson at the Justice Department. She needs to lay low until then.

Chloe orders Cole to find Ricker and get him to tell them where Jack is. Log sheets will show Cole accompanying Chloe to the UN, but she's arranged a separate vehicle for him as well as some weaponry.

At Novakovich's hotel, his aide Berkov informs him that President Suvarov's plane has touched down. Novakovich has Ivan bring the car around. However, Ivan is waylaid in the garage by Jack, who roughs him up until he tells Jack the suite number where Novakovich is as well as how many guards there are. Ivan doesn't have a keycard, but the guards do. Jack, a shotgun in hand, pistol whips Ivan unconscious then charges at the elevator security guards. Jack gets a keycard, but is stabbed in the side by one of the guards. Jack kills him with his own knife, then enters the elevator, bloody and wounded but still determined.

Meredith calls Dalia from a hotel phone, but instead reaches Kayla, who doesn't want to speak to her. Meredith says she has information about who is really responsible for her father's death. She gives Kayla the hotel phone's number, but as she hangs up, the FBI arrives to arrest her and seize the video evidence. Tim Woods informs President Taylor of the arrest, and Taylor says that the video is for her eyes only.

Logan, wearing an oxygen mask and speaking with difficulty as he waits to be taken to the hospital, tells Pillar to warn Novakovich that Jack's coming for him. However, it's too late. The phone is answered by a wounded Berkov -- the only survivor of Jack's assault. Novakovich has been impaled. As Berkov begs for an ambulance, Pillar confirms that Novakovich didn't say anything; Jack arrived with guns blazing and killed him.

Pillar informs Logan, who calls President Suvarov. It transpires that Suvarov was giving the orders, but Logan assures him that as far as Jack is concerned, the trail ended with Novakovich. Logan tells him not to worry about Jack; every law enforcement agency is looking for him. Besides, he's been wounded. "There is nothing more dangerous than a wounded animal," growls Suvarov. As Logan reassures Suvarov, Jack, standing in an alley, listens in on their conversation via a tiny fiber-optic micro-dot that Jack has hidden in Logan's collar. Jack is recording the conversation. As Logan hangs up, Jack turns the device off and moves on. Jack leaves a large bloodstain on the wall where he was leaning.

Next week will be the last post for 24 spoilers as there is a double episode finale. Then no more 24 :crying:

The cast of 24 have released hints about the show's final scene.

Speaking to Extra, Kiefer Sutherland, who plays Jack, explained that he will be involved in the closing shot.

"Appropriately, there's a scene between Mary Lynn [Rajskub] and myself," he said. "[Rajskub] plays Chloe."

Rajskub added: "It was a huge honour, a huge honour, to deliver the last line, and I was bawling my eyes out."

Meanwhile, Sutherland also thanked the show's audience, saying: "The fans have been just unbelievably loyal. To all of you out there, thank you from the bottom of my heart."

The series finale of 24 airs Monday at 8/7c on Fox in the US and on Sunday, June 6 at 9pm on Sky1 in the UK.

Season Finale- Part 1

Arlo tells Cole that Jack slaughtered Novakovich and his men, but Chloe still thinks she can talk Jack down. Cole arrives at Ricker's apartment. Ricker's security system alerts him to Cole's arrival and identity, and is waiting with his gun drawn as Cole shoots his way in. However, Cole tells Ricker that Jack will die today if Ricker doesn't help.

At the UN, a field agent questions Chloe about Cole being put back on the duty roster. Chloe defends her choice. Cole calls and says that Jack's targeting Russian President Suvarov; he's the one who gave the order to kill Renee. Jack has a copy of it. Chloe says they'll need it, as she doesn't think Jack has Dana's evidence any more -- Meredith Reed has been arrested. Jack's recording is the last proof of the cover up.

Cole thinks they should warn everybody that Jack's going to assassinate Suvarov, but Chloe says that Pillar will get to him first and kill him. Instead, she orders Suvarov's route changed to buy time.

President Logan calls President Taylor and finally tells her that Jack is seeking retribution and killed Novakovich. Logan also says that Suvarov was involved, which he assures her that Jack can't possibly know about. As a regretful Taylor returns to preparations for the signing ceremony, Pillar gets into his car and calls Eden, who informs him that Jack was badly wounded during his assault on Novakovich. Pillar says they'll find him, hangs up, then hears Jack whisper, "Try looking in the mirror." Jack is in Pillar's back seat. He holds a gun to Pillar's head and orders him to drive to the UN.

At the UN, Dalia privately presents Taylor with a fountain pen in a box that bears the inscription, "All religions, all this singing, one song, peace be with you." It's from Hassan; he had intended to present it to Taylor for signing the peace agreement. Taylor can barely speak, moved and torn up by guilt. As she leaves, Kayla approaches and tells her mother about Meredith Reed's call, and that she said that Hassan's killers were helped by the Russians. Meredith wouldn't have called Dalia over a rumor. Dalia agrees to call her back.

Cole arrives at the CTU mobile unit outside the UN, and Chloe tells him that if they get the recording from Jack, they're going to release it to every media outlet in the world. The President won't be able to suppress it. As Cole is put in charge of Suvarov's security detail, Jack has Pillar park in the Hart Building across the street from the UN, which has already been emptied out by CTU's security teams.

In the empty parking garage, Jack forces Pillar out of the car. Pillar realizes that Jack's planning to shoot Suvarov while he's making his statement, but he won't be on the podium for another hour. Jack won't make it that long, the way he's bleeding. "That's why you're going to stitch me up," says Jack, who forces Pillar to do so at gunpoint. As he operates, Pillar asks Jack why he's doing this. In the past, Jack's always had a reason for going outside the system. Jack says that everyone he's killed today had a hand in Hassan's death, and the peace agreement is an agreement between liars and murderers. Who made Jack judge and jury? President Taylor, answers Jack, when she covered up the truth.

Pillar finishes, and Jack tells him to turn around and get on his knees. Pillar realizes that Jack's going to kill him. He begs for mercy, beginning to cry. He has a wife and children. This makes Jack hesitate. After a moment, he savagely pistol whips Pillar. Then Jack screams with rage and pain at what he's become.

Dalia cannot reach Meredith, so she goes to see President Taylor and tells her that she has heard that the Russians were involved in her husband's murder, and she needs Taylor's help to find Meredith to figure out if the allegations are true. Taylor says she'll do the best she can in the time they have, but Dalia makes herself clear: until she is convinced the allegations are false, she will absolutely not sign the peace agreement. Taylor is forced to confess that she had Meredith arrested, and Dalia realizes that the allegations are indeed true...and that Taylor knew all along.

President Taylor says that this agreement is what Hassan worked so hard for, but Dalia rounds on her, enraged. "How dare you invoke my husband. He never would have stood for this!" She says she plans to demand Meredith's release, and the disclosure of whatever evidence she's hiding. However, Taylor says that Dalia will sign the peace agreement, because if she doesn't, Taylor will order her administration to release evidence that IRK intelligence agents attempted to detonate a nuclear device in New York today. Taylor will use that as justification for all-out war on the IRK. Her country won't recover for decades. Dalia is horrified, but she does not respond to the ultimatum. Without giving an answer, she leaves the President's suite, slamming the door behind her.

Jack breaks into a utility room in the Hart Building with an overlook of the podium and begins assembling his rifle. Meanwhile, Dalia consults with Jamot, who doesn't see a way out of the President's threat. They will have to sign. An aide informs them that Suvarov is about to arrive.

Chloe tells Cole that Jack's inside the perimeter. He nearly managed to avoid the security cameras, but his reflection was seen in a vending machine. Chloe insists on going alone to talk to him. If she doesn't return in 20 minutes, then Cole should put out an alert.

Back in the utility room, Jack begins recording a final message addressed to his daughter, Kim. "As long as I can remember, every time I've had to talk to you, it seems that for one reason or another I've started out by telling you how sorry I am. I'm not gonna do that to you now. You're going to hear a lot of stories about what I've done today. Some of them may even be true. But no one, and I mean no one, can tell you why I did what I did except for me. A lot of good people died today. Not just President Hassan. Officers from CTU, members of other law enforcement agencies... Renee Walker. Who I was very close to."

Suvarov arrives at the UN. Dalia is stone-faced as Suvarov says how much he admired her husband. They head upstairs to the press conference, where the UN Secretary General, with Taylor, Dalia and Suvarov behind him, talks of ushering in a new era of transparency, honesty and trust.

Cole asks Agent Burke to deploy a ten-man squad outside the Hart. Meanwhile, Chloe, uneasily wielding a gun given to her by Cole, finds the room where Jack is hiding. Jack gets the drop on her and asks who else knows where he is. Just Cole and Arlo, she says. She tells him there has to be another way, and that he's going to be killed. There are standing orders to shoot him on sight. She couldn't let that happen. Jack says she shouldn't have come after him, but she says, "You're my friend. I didn't have a choice."Â "Neither do I," says a regretful Jack...then strangles Chloe until she passes out and cuffs her to some piping.

Jack then takes Pillar's phone and calls Logan, saying that he has him in his sights in his office in the UN building. Jack plays a bit of the recording for him, to prove that he knows of Suvarov's involvement in Renee's death. He tells Logan to call Suvarov and have him meet him right there in that office as soon as the press conference is over. "What am I supposed to tell him?" asks Logan. "Try the truth, for a change. Tell him you've got credible intelligence about a threat to his life." Jack's mouth twitches into a brief smirk.

Season Finale - Part 2

At the UN press conference, President Suvarov announces that the peace agreement will be President Hassan's living memorial. Dalia excuses herself, and Suvarov realizes that President Taylor told Dalia of his complicity in Hassan's death. He wonders what Taylor has said to keep her from breaking off the peace talks.

Suvarov is interrupted by an urgent call from President Logan, who's still in Jack's sights. Logan tells Suvarov he has information about a leak in Suvarov's camp, so they need to meet alone in his office.

Chloe wakes up, cuffed to the pipes, and tells Jack that they can use the audio file he recorded to expose the cover up. He doesn't need to do this. Chloe's phone rings. It's Cole, and if she doesn't answer, he'll send in a TAC team. Jack doesn't care. He's going to finish what he started. Meanwhile, Cole sends the TAC team to the Hart Building, confirming their orders to shoot to kill Jack.

Jack can see Suvarov arrive at Logan's office. Chloe says that Jack will provoke a war with a nuclear power if he kills Suvarov. Is that really what he wants? Would Renee have wanted it? Chloe's words finally reach Jack. He hesitates, and finally puts the gun down. Jack agrees to do it her way, but makes Chloe promise to do exactly what he says.

Logan, realizing that no gunshot will come, stammers an excuse to an annoyed Suvarov. Jack removes the data card with the recording from the recording device and hands it to Chloe, but she can't get out of the building any more than he can. She only got to him first by bypassing CTU and Pillar. Logan will figure this out soon. The only way to get the audio file back to CTU is to convince Logan she's not working with Jack. Jack uncuffs Chloe and orders her to shoot him. She can't do it. Just as the CTU team is about to burst through the door, Jack shoots himself in the chest and goes down. Chloe tells them Jack drew his gun and she shot him. She stares at Jack's prone body with concern as Agent Burke calls for a medical team.

Chloe catches Cole up on the plan, and she tries to get to CTU mobile command to upload the file. However, she is detained by Agent Burke, who says that Agent Pillar has been found and ordered her held for debriefing. Meanwhile, Pillar speaks to Logan, who orders him to recover the data card. If Logan goes down, so does Pillar; who knows how much Jack recorded?

As EMTs work on Jack, Pillar arrives. Burke shows Pillar the empty recording device, and Pillar insists on searching Chloe. He finds nothing. Pillar reluctantly releases Chloe, who was hiding the data card in her phone's battery compartment. As Chloe heads for mobile command, Pillar begins to interrogate Jack. He remains silent. The EMT confirms that Jack is stable enough to be operated on at CTU because the bullet didn't hit any organs or arteries. Pillar, newly suspicious, orders Chloe locked down. Jack whispers something, forcing Pillar to lean in close. Jack savagely bites off part of Pillar's ear.

At mobile command, Chloe, with Cole watching, has begun to upload the file to Arlo at CTU. However, Burke and a team of agents arrive to arrest them. They stop the upload before it's completed and seize the data card. Chloe and Cole are taken into custody.

Logan presents the data card to President Taylor, and tells her that Jack's about to be transported to CTU under heavy guard. Jack will never, ever let this go, and no matter where they imprison him, he will always claw his way back. Yet Logan has a plan. Taylor, pained and sorrowful, stays silent, tacitly approving Logan's idea to assassinate Jack. He leaves, and Taylor begins to view the contents of the data card. There is a message from Jack to his daughter Kim where he explains the real reason behind his actions: he believes that the peace accord won't serve the greater good. "A lasting peace cannot simply be political. It has to be born out of trust and honesty and understanding..." This hits Taylor hard.

Logan and Pillar retire to Logan's office for a celebratory drink as President Taylor heads to the signing of the peace accord. After the Secretary General makes a speech about the agreement that has been negotiated in "good faith," Suvarov is the first to sign. Dalia is next. She hesitates, but ultimately signs her name under his. President Taylor opens the box containing the pen given to her by Dalia on Hassan's behalf. She rests the pen on the paper, but she cannot do it. Taylor slowly and deliberately sheaths the pen, and then turns and presses it into Dalia's palm, saying she cannot accept it. Suvarov urges her to stop what she is about to do, but Taylor is resolute.

President Taylor returns to the podium and announces to the world that grave crimes have been committed in the run-up to this treaty. Taylor confesses to participating in a conspiracy to hide those crimes, and she will give a more complete statement within the hour. For now, she says, the peace process has come to an end. As Taylor leaves the ceremony, she urgently tells Tim Woods to alert CTU that Jack's medical transport is about to be ambushed. Yet she's too late. Logan's men have already ambushed the transport and taken Jack captive.

As the Secretary General tells reporters to direct all questions to the White House, the phone rings in Logan's office. Logan says not to answer because he knows it is Taylor calling about Jack, but Pillar says it's all over. They shouldn't add murder to their list of charges. As Pillar answers, Logan cold-cocks him with a paperweight. "This was my last chance," says Logan, "And Bauer took it away." Logan then shoots Pillar through the head. There is a knock; President Taylor, Tim Woods and a retinue of Secret Service agents are at the door. Logan, trapped, holds the gun up to his chin. From outside, Taylor and the others hear a gunshot. The agents break down the door, and Taylor desperately tells Tim that she needs Logan alive.

Paramedics work on Logan; they think he'll survive, but with severe brain damage. How will they find Jack now? Tim Woods says that CTU's drones can backtrack to the ambush and locate where Jack's been taken. Taylor orders Chloe and Cole released and allowed to locate Jack. Tim's already done so.

Chloe and Cole return to CTU, where Chloe has Eden arrested. Arlo and Chloe quickly find the van, which is pulling into an empty construction yard. Nantz, the leader of Logan's men, pulls Jack from the van and forces him to his knees. He knows who Jack is and promises to make this quick and clean. Jack attempts to escape, but he's too weak and is quickly overpowered. Jack says he's ready, but just as Nantz is about to pull the trigger, he gets a phone call from President Taylor, ordering him to stand down. Taylor then asks to talk to Jack. As Nantz and his men fall back, Taylor, with Chloe, Cole and Arlo listening in, tells Jack that it's over. She'll be facing the consequences of her action...but he'll have to do the same.

Sorrowfully, near tears, President Taylor explains to Jack that she wanted the peace treaty so badly that she was willing to betray every principle she ever stood for. She tells him to leave the country while he still has a chance. The Russians will be coming after him, and so will the U.S. government. They don't have a choice. Before hanging up, President Taylor apologizes.

Jack calls Chloe and makes her promise to keep his family safe and prevent anyone from getting to him through his family. Jack thanks Chloe for all the help she's given him over the years. He hangs up. Chloe, also about to cry, watches Jack on the giant viewscreen as he looks skyward into the satellite camera, seemingly right at her. Jack then begins to run, a fugitive once again.

"What happened here didn't happen, understand?" says Chloe. She then orders the drone shut down. Jack's fleeing figure fuzzes out, then fades to black.

ACTOR Kiefer Sutherland has revealed he tried to stop saying "Dammit" after a boozy game was based on his 24 catchphrase.
Show fans would down a shot when his character Jack Bauer uttered it.

Kiefer, 43, began using it more when he first heard about the game - then realised it could be fatal.

He said: "I did one I thought would be funny. I said 'Dammit' four or five times but thought, 'That's going to kill somebody'."

"I actually tried to curtail the 'Dammits'." Kiefer, recently pictured sozzled in London, will utter his last "Dammits" when the Sky One show ends on June 6 after eight series - 193 episodes including a feature-length special.

The actor admitted he nearly cried as he said a goodbye speech to cast and crew.

London-born Kiefer said: "I didn't get to finish everything I wanted to say."

He also said he was a "moron" for thinking the thriller would be a FLOP at first.

TIME is running out for Jack Bauer - and fans will find out tomorrow if the agent has cheated death.

After eight series and 192 episodes, the 24 clock hits 00:00:00 for the last time.

By the end, the show will have a total body count of 13,628 - 266 killed by Jack himself.

It doesn't look good for Bauer, played by Kiefer Sutherland.

His final scenes show him with a gun at his head and on an IV drip.

Strangely, in all the shows Jack has never been seen visiting the loo or eating - but he has had sex.

Kiefer said: "At least he has his priorities straight."

Earlier episodes featured Dennis Haysbert as African-American President David Palmer, whose popularity has been credited with helping Barack Obama into the White House.

Fans hope a film will be made.

Until then, they must make do with the final double episode on Sky1 and Sky1 HD at 9pm.

I've seen the finale. I don't remember him on an IV in the final scene though :hmm: I'm shocked at the body count though - 13k+ is incomprehensible.
