4:32 A.M. – Karen is surprised when her clearance to CTU’s grid is blocked. She calls Buchanan, who confirms that he has Jack. Karen thanks him for his sacrifice.

When Doyle picks it up, the component explodes in his face and he is thrown back. The man grabs Josh and runs back to the boat.

4:46 A.M. – Jack and Buchanan pull up and see Josh being taken away. They don’t have a clear shot without putting Josh at risk. The men in the boat fire back as they pull out into the water with Josh in tow. Jack tends to Doyle, whose face is bloodied.

4:55 A.M. – The trauma team arrives on the scene and determines that Doyle will probably be blind in at least one eye. “I should have listened to you, Jack,” Nadia says with remorse.
