3:57 P.M. – Phillip says he has been looking for Gredenko so that he could stop Fayed. “I’m a patriot, Jack,” he says. “I never wanted any harm to come to this country.” Yet Jack is furious that Phillip let all of this happen to cover up his own mistakes. Phillip notes that this situation would never have escalated had Jack worked for the family. Since CTU didn’t find Gredenko, condemning Phillip solved nothing.
