Because why not?

------

That anything I touched.... ended up dead or ruined. How dare you. How... dare you. The only thing I did, the only thing I have EVER done is what you and people like you have asked of me. Why didn't you try to get me out of China?

I did try.

Not hard enough! You had the political power. Was the timing not right? Was it a little too complicated? Or was I just an acceptable loss?

Jack, I understand your anger....

Shut up! You don't understand a thing about me, but I know you. I know why you're angry at me, and it wasn't because Audrey came to China to save me. It's 'cause when you told her not to, she did it anyway. You'll never understand that kind of commitment. That kind of loyalty.

You're right, Jack. It wasn't fair of me to put all this on you. To blame you for what happened to Audrey. I know the sacrifices you've made. I know this country owes you more than it'll ever repay.

I'm not interested in what you think this country owes me. I want my life back, and I want it now. Audrey's all I've got. You can't stop me. In case you've forgotten, I'm very good at disappearing.... and if you try sending someone after us I'll kill 'em. Pretty good at that, too.

Probably the best thing in 6...That last line made me laugh the way he says it! Tho I was totally loving those first 4 episodes leaking early..life was easier then :P Watching weekly I still enjoyed 6. Just sayin.

Great scene. Probably the best in 24 history, with the best ending I feel. No twist, just Jack wandering into the abyss and contemplating how his life had taken a turn for the absolute worse. 24 needed those moments more often to sustain itself as a great show, but it was overshadowed by its high-intensity action-centric theme.

The Heller/Jack confrontation was a strong ending to a somewhat miserable season. Kiefer gave the best performance ever, but the scriptwriters did not reciprocate. His farewell to Audrey was amazing. It was great that they brought Audrey back, but they killed her off in the most predictable and lazy fashion.

I have it the Season 6 final minutes in audio in case anyone wants a copy of it (you can provide e-mail here).

I agree. Tho I did love the final scene in s3, unexpected at the time on tv.

I will PM you my email...i would like the audio clip. Im sad like that!

One of the best moments in all of 24. It's just so well written and acted.
