Jack Bauer puts a rifle to Logan’s head and demands justice
Summary
– Jack Bauer corners former President Logan with a sniper rifle
– Forces Logan to call President Suvarov after exposing his lies
– Tension peaks as Jack ignores a shoot-on-sight order from CTU
One of the most intense moments in 24 Season 8 came when Jack Bauer took matters into his own hands—literally—with a sniper rifle aimed directly at former President Charles Logan. In this explosive scene, Jack demands accountability for a conspiracy that led to the deaths of his loved ones.
Despite CTU’s standing order to shoot him on sight, Jack evades agents and sets up a 556 rifle with Logan in his crosshairs. Over the phone, he coldly informs Logan, “A bullet travels 2,900 feet per second; if you try and move, you’re a dead man.”
Jack plays a recording of Logan admitting that Russian President Suvarov was behind the conspiracy. When Logan pleads that he’s already told Jack everything, Jack replies with a demand—Logan must contact Suvarov and lure him to the press site under the pretense of a credible threat.
Refusing to trust Logan’s word, Jack compels him to tell the truth for once. “Try the truth for a change,” Jack says, in a scene that encapsulates the raw desperation and moral fury driving Bauer’s final rampage.
