Key Moments:

  • Jack tells Renee he has arrived. He then calls Hastings and wants to pull Renee out. Hastings refuses and tells Jack to find away to get under so Renee can be swapped out. Vladimir tells Renee that they will head back to the warehouse and talk about her offer.
  • Back at the warehouse, Vladimir takes Renee into his office alone. She makes her pitch for the uranium rods using Jack as a German buyer. Vladimir denies knowing anything about uranium. When Renee offers him a piece of the deal, he agrees to make some calls. He asks for $5 million up front and gives her a location to deliver the money. Vladimir gets creepy at the end but leaves the room so Renee can make her call. She and Jack talk and Jack can hear how uneasy she is being near Vladimir.
  • Dr. Levine treats Oleg while Josef lies to his father about why he hasn’t been answering his phone. The results are in and Oleg needs a bone marrow transplant. Josef gets pissed so Dr. Levine says there are some drugs that can help.
  • Cole and Jack prep his German cover for the exchange. Renee tells Vladimir that her buyer will meet Lugo in 20 minutes. Vladimir starts the small talk about her death wish and apologizes for how he treated her in the past. Renee gets pissed but he likes her angry. The creepiness level raises about 5 levels. To get away from him, she asks to go clean herself up and locks herself in the bathroom. Vladimir tells Lugo to go through with the deal, get the money, and kill the buyer.
  • Ethan tells Taylor that countries are pulling out of the peace treaty because of Hassan’s crackdown in his fake country. Taylor tells him that he wants to make a direct plea to the other delegates.
  • Tarin updates Hassan on the security sweeps. Hassan wants a member of his delegation, Jamot, detained.
  • Renee is finishing up her shower, when she pulls the curtain back to find Vladimir waiting for her in the bathroom. He gets all touchy and feely before she kicks him out to finish dressing. Jack tells her that they can pull her out but she says this is the only way. Since she is a woman on 24, it’s sex time so she flushes the comm unit.
  • Tarin arrests Jamot then calls Kayla and says they need to talk about her father.
  • While in the middle of telling Josef how to treat Oleg, Sergei’s men arrive and kill Dr. Levine. Sergei tells his men to bring back his sons.
  • GERMAN JACK! This is one of the greatest moments in 24 history. He’s wearing glasses to sell the cover and speaks in a godawful German accent. Lugo tests his German knowledge and after passing the test Jack says he wants to speak with Vladimir before delivering the money. Vladimir speaks with Jack while lying in bed with Renee. Afterwards, Jack breaks out the laptop and begins transferring the money.
  • Vladimir tells Renee that he will not be making any calls and is killing her German buyer and stealing the money. She pushes him a bit too far and he gets violent.
  • When the money is done transferring, Lugo makes his move and Cole snipes all 3 of Lugo’s men. Jack beats Lugo down and tells him to call Vladimir. He gets the loud voice and Jack demands to speak to Renee. Vladimir tells Lugo to bring Jack back to him.
  • Sergei speaks with his sons and beats Josef down. He pulls out his gun and kills Oleg. Sergei tells Josef to bury his brother and never disobey him again.

Ridiculousness:

  • You know, Renee, if you wanted to keep the creepy guy away from you maybe you shouldn’t have taken a shower in his office bathroom. The near rapist is probably not gonna respect your boundaries.
