Not here

Key Moments:

  • Walt explains everything he knows and uses the old standby that he is a “patriot”. He gives up the name James Nathanson but his number is no longer in service when they call it. Logan sends Walt away and then practically begs Jack to stay on to find the nerve gas.
  • Erwich is told that they can’t trigger the nerve gas without help.
  • Jenny calls Lynn begging for money.
  • Rossler calls Erwich with instructions on how to trigger the nerve gas canisters.
  • CTU tapped this phone call and sends the address to Jack.
  • Jack and Audrey discuss him staying on and how this will expose him to the Chinese. He asks her to bring Kim to CTU so he can talk to her in person.
  • Erwich brings the canisters to a machine shop and puts a gun to machinist head so he will cut into the canisters for him.
  • Martha meets with Charles so she can slap him. He begs her to stay and help him. Mike arrives next and he does the same to Mike. Mike becomes the new Chief of Staff. The 3 of them discuss what to do about Walt.
  • Chloe needs Spenser’s help to gain access to the building where Rossler is located. Curtis meets up with Jack outside of the building.
  • Spenser knocks out the cameras and Jack and Curtis gain access to the lobby then the elevators. Jack drags the guard with them and knocks him out in the elevator. Rossler’s guards are waiting for them and Curtis is shot in the vest (again) but Jack takes them both out. Jack moves on to Rossler and shoots him in the leg. He finds a surprise in the bedroom. It looks like someone has a mail-order teenage Russian sex slave.
  • Jack begins the questioning of Rossler. He asks about Erwich but gets nothing. He has Curtis step on his wound but Rossler responds by making a list of demands that include the girl. Jack refuses but Lynn overrules and tells him to take the deal. Jack is not happy.
  • Rossler happily tells Jack what Erwich wants and that he will be meeting him soon. Bill tells Jack that the girl is 15 and Jack tries to dissuade Rossler from taking her. Rossler only wants the girl.
  • Now that she no longer needs his help, Chloe has Spenser removed from CTU.
  • Charles and Martha are working on a public statement regarding Walt. Mike calls Logan and asks him to meet him.
  • The Logans meet Mike and see that Walt has hung himself.
  • Lynn meets Jenny outside of CTU and gets mugged by her boyfriend.
  • Jack tells the slave that she will have to go with Rossler for a bit longer. The machinist cuts through the last canister and is killed. Erwich calls Rossler with all the canister codes. Erwich will call back with a location for their meeting. And in a shocking twist, the slave kills Rossler.

Ridiculousness:

  • Russian sex slave? And the government would agree to the deal even after they find out she is 15 years old?

Running Totals:

Jack’s body count: 2 (112)

  • Jack kills both of Rossler’s guards.

Torture doesn’t mean you can’t be creative: 1 (29)

  • Jack brings back the partner stepping on the wound that he and Chase used years ago.
