This speech was coming and needed, 24 is essentially the world taking crap after crap on Jack's life whilst he saves everyone else. Jack is the hero that America needs but not the hero it deserved
"Simply getting your life back, Jack, isn’t gonna change who you are. And you can’t walk away from it. You know that. You’ve tried it. Sooner or later, you’re gonna get back in the game, and my daughter’s gonna pay the price, like your wife did.” Holy shit, Heller nailed it
He didn't nail it if anything he only predicted exactly what was going to happen under his watchful eye when he became president in season 9, Audrey's death was his fault in a way because he became president of the United States a job he knew had tons of threats and dangers to it and he was made to swallow his words of hypocritical criticism to Jack about not wanting to give up fighting for his country by paying the ultimate price losing the very thing that he loves; and the most tragic thing about it is because of his Alzheimer's he won't be able to remember a thing most importantly his daughter; he may have made amends with Jack but in the end Karma still came around and extracted it's rightful wages!
Heller admitted he was wrong to put all on Jack and Audrey's involvement in LAD does not mean her father being the President attributed to her death. Just her being there and having that same personal horrifying connection that Jack had to Cheng attributed to her death.
@@busydad4858 how is he right? None of the women is jacks life actually die because of him. Jack is the guy that puts his life on the line tosave everyones ass only to have the people giving orders turn their backs on him and blame him for shit that couldnt possibly be his fault. Jack deserved happiness more than anyone.. And the fact that people like heller didnt even try to help him get it after all jack did for them irritates me.
Best scene ever in 24, with the death of Ryan Chappelle as the second best scene. Hell, every scene where Jacks emotions (or lack of emotions) is playing the bigger part is what made 24 such a unique show!
This was extremely satisfying, these high level guys like Heller just use people like Jack to do what’s necessary to get the job done and blame them when things go wrong, also I’m glad Jack finally said something about China because the whole season he kept hearing how they tried to help him but clearly they didn’t try hard enough and it’s satisfying to see him finally release his anger about it
Yep, if they really wanted him back from China they could have got him, which in the end when the political will was actually there, they did. I like how he called out that the US only brought him back when it was politically convenient/necessary for them. Suggests that our governments treat their most loyal people like, quite frankly, dirt. He also tells President (Wayne) Palmer earlier in the season that he owes him, because he came back just to die for him.
One of the best scenes in the series easily, despite the worst season in the series IMO. Profound and awesome way to end the season though most definitely. Not to say there weren't good points about S6, it was just the weakest of the series, which still makes it above a LOT of other television. 24 was just so awesome.
Season 6 may be the worst, but it also had some of the highest highs of the entire series. The premiere, the finale and the mid-season climax with Fayed's death were all top tier 24.
Finished season 6 and although it wasn't my cup of tea plot wise and character developmment wise, it did have its moments like this scene in particularly.
They should have touched on Jack being incarcerated in China and continued the story from that point on about getting Jack out of there. They had an easy touch down but didn’t go for it IMO
@@RandomGuy285 The first four episodes of S6 are like a perfectly packaged 24 miniseries. If they’d released those together and then had a hiatus for a few months to sort the writing out for the rest of the season, that would have worked much better.
Sam Lee how was season 6 poorly written? the first few episodes were amazing. I admit season 6 was boring at times and the aftermath of the nuclear bomb going off was unexplored, when the bomb went off its like it was a turning point but then it's just brushed off. but season 6 is enjoyable and does have a good story and excellent moments
"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." BAUER, Jack.
Saunders was right when he told Jack "I was abandoned by the people I worked for...as you will be someday." Jack is the embodiment of no good deed goes unpunished. Everyone he saved, everything he's done, and the powers that be didn't even try to save him, that is until they needed him again. Absolutely one of the best scenes in the show.
Heller pardoned Jack for Season 8 and had Jack not been forced to give himself up to the Russians, he would've got to go home and maybe even finally move on with his family and with his life.
Legacy was much better than Day 6. But yeah, you don't get the same emotional involvement with the characters. But it's normal. Legacy looks like Day 1 very much. Same plot, but with variations.
This was the first season I started watching back when the show was still airing. By the time Jack walked outside I was blown completely away from what I had saw since the clock first started on day 6. I was thinking how in the hell have I been missing this show? I immediately was hooked.
I have been looking for this particular scene for quite a long time now, and I've finally found it - along with a host of other equally-brilliant clips to go right along with it! MANY, MANY thanks for uploading this brilliantly-acted and excellently-tense scene between Jack Bauer and James Heller - easily my favorite moment from the entire series (thus far, of course!)
he also should not change who he is he's a person that's willing to stand up to evil and take it down by whatever means necessary that is something that we definitely need in this world today.
This is the same track from the musical score that plays in the first episode of this season, when a shellshocked Jack is first returned to the US and gets briefed by Curtis/Bill. A nice touch.
As painful as those words from Heller were earlier in the season, he was absolutely right; Renée and later, Audrey herself only served to reinforce that statement. Couple of clip requests. The final shootout between Jack, the Drazens and their henchmen in the final hour of season one, and The final action sequins of season seven. That is to say the shootout with Renée and other FBI agents on one side and the terrorists on the other, Renée rescuing Jack and them subduing and arresting Toni as he is about to kill Wilson.
But Renee was killed because of work she did when she was with the FBI. So that one can't be on Jack. Only other way I would see it is Jack not trying to save the day during season 8 and Renee in custody but alive.
@@davidhelfman5829 She was only there because she cared about Jack. She came back to save him and then stayed involved in the conflict, which is when the Russian spotted her.
This is like the end fight scene in Captain America Civil War. The audience knows both characters are justified and their POVs make sense. In the end, no one is truly 100% right or 100% wrong, and that's the high drama and conflict in the scene.
For a guy who had about 10 minutes to fake his death and come up with an escape plan, he did a pretty damn good job of disappearing between season 4 & 5. He only got found out because someone managed to hack Chloe's computer. Not really Jack's fault.
All seasons have a dull patch but s5 & s6 were overall my favorites....after I'd seen all of them more than twice. I've just finished s6 and this scene was spine tingling! Had to share this link with a friend who's not seen past s5 to wet his whistle and see these comments. This scene has to be my all time favourite over any action scene and any ending.
Heller wasn't living a normal life either he was committed to serving his country through his work as Secretary of Defense and later as president so he was actually putting his daughter in equal danger in both jobs so he had no right to deny Jack his right to happiness.
Yeah, but he's not jumping into the fire every time it starts. Jack is the type who can't walk away and, let's face it, everyone has suffered as a result of his actions. Heller's only had the one kidnapping compared to two clinical deaths, a heroin addiction, and several dead family and friends. The reason is where she is because she couldn't let Jack go. Also, he didn't raid an embassy and get a foreign national killed and piss off an entire country. Comparatively, Heller's lived a fairly normal life.
So, military, law enforcement, special forces personnel should lead their lives as monks, with no wives, life partners, families etc. And their lives are expendable? And what do they get for all that do for their country? Some recognition, some money and nothing else? Sad.
If that's what they choose, sure. Besides, it's a lot smarter. You end up putting your job ahead of your family in some capacity or another, so no one will get hurt if you live like a monk. You might, but you've excepted that that's an occupational hazard.
You didn't get my point Peter. Why would anyone choose such a profession if his own country, his own society effectively doesn't want him to be happy in a loving family (wife, kid(s)) etc. Why would anyone willingly be an expendable, disposable monk working for someone who doesn't value him or his happiness? What is the motivation - ideology, money, fame, principle? If you say principle, my question is how does one develop a self-sacrificial altruistic code of ethics to live by if the very people he intends to serve and protect effectively disallow him basic happiness?
That's a very good question and I apologize if my response isn't as up to snuff. I don't it would develop naturally until people recognize that, sometimes, the greater good of a society outweighs their own needs. Now, if I may ask a couple questions: What is basic happiness? Is there no happiness in the act of service alone?
The brilliance of this scene is that both men are right. Jack has sacrificed everything and deserves his life back. But Heller is right that it would only put Audrey in danger. And Jack knows it. He hates Heller for this, but Jack is a father himself too. He knows he would make the exact same call in Heller's shoes if it was Kim they were talking about.
Heller was wrong to bring that part up about his wife she did not die because of him doing his job she died because evil individuals wanted to punish jack for doing his job and protecting innocent people he deserves to have a life with Audrey and he would have been capable of protecting her to the best of his ability every hero deserves a reward for their good deeds and Jack is definitely one of them despite some of the mistakes he's made.
But he wasn't wrong about their fates because of the cycle that Jack was going. He wants to live a normal life but his commitment in defending the US and killing terrorism. You're not wrong of Heller bring up Terri's death, but at the same time he had to accept that he'll never live a normal life. This also applied to Renee Walker's death before killing Tokarev and Novakovich.
Abel - So, military, law enforcement, special forces personnel should lead their lives as monks, with no wives, life partners, families etc. And their lives are expendable? And what do they get for all that do for their country? Some recognition, some money and nothing else? Sad.
Dude, it's a TV show. Relax man!! I was talking in terms of the show's character plot in Jack Bauer's life. Almost two-thirds of the content is not true. People who work in the military, law enforcement, and special forces have their own lives. But it doesn't take away what they have to sacrifice to protect this nation, that includes people like Jack.
she couldn't let him go because she loved him and she knew that her father could have tried to get him out of China but wouldn't and he admitted that he could have tried also that raid on the Chinese Embassy was approved by his superiors like he said all he has ever done was what he has been told to do by men like heller; besides no one ever asked him to step down from his position as Secretary of Defense and his position was as equally dangerous to Jack's job as a federal agent otherwise he wouldn't have been attacked in both seasons four and five!
and let's not forget he did run for president in season 9 so I digress he was being a complete hypocrite and wasn't living a normal life; he had no right to deny Jack his right to have a life with his daughter, as for him running into the fire that's a part of who he is; he shouldn't have to change wanting to protect and help people for he really cares about people; he did try to walk away once he got pulled back in when the situation was becoming too dangerous and catastrophic!
Yes, a lame Season overall--but containing two of some of the best sequences of the 24 saga--Phillip Bauer's final scene... and all of this--but I wished you'd shown the entirety of this scene, him going to say good-bye to Audrey, the silent clock runs to 06:00:00. The whole entire gem of this scene...
I think the most brutal thing to take away from this scene is it’s jarring truth. We want Jack to get that perfect ending he deserves because of all’s the sacrifices he made and people he lost to defend our country above and beyond, but his personal life will always be decimated by his actions. In the end Heller was right and what’s worst is that he won’t remember any of that or his daughter... 😔🥺
A very good scene in the sense that whilst we absolutely symapthise with Bauer, we know Heller will be, and ultimately was, proven right. We, the audience, know Bauer's personal life is doomed to failure and tragedy and some part of Jack realises it too. The contrast between what he wants versus what the world around him is, and always will be, has never been starker for Bauer. Bauer's tragedy is that he cannot walk away when he knows he can save millions, maybe even Western civilization itself, because if everything that he stopped had happened, the world would be a far, far, darker and uglier place, i.e., the consequences and society's reaction to all these attacks. Bauer's sense of responsibility will make him always step in but he cannot ever have a personal life because of it.
@@travisblankenship4184S6 was good, but it was also overcrowded. Jack struggling to be what he was, the nuke, everything with Wayne Palmer, Audrey’s death, Cheng. There’s a lot more, and it’s too much to cram into a single season.
Heller forced Jack to face the reality that he and Audrey could never have a long-term relationship that would last. Jack knew that as long as he's in her life, he's a danger to her. Leaving her turned out to be one of the bravest and best decisions he's ever made. Not only she was wasting her life, he was also wasting his life for something that's never going to happen. Jack had far more important things in his life than maintaining a romantic relationship and he learned to accept that.
Ian Wheezy the reason why season 6 clock finale was silent is because Jack's life is uncertain he has nothing no one to go to his life is uncertain when I first saw it I thought Jack was being suicidal with them showing the rock ledge by the ocean. So it was a silent clock for Jack about how his life was taken away because of his job at ctu. I call it a lamenting silent clock.
While Heller wasn't exactly wrong about how horribly others can and would suffer around Jack, he blamed Jack as badly as he did because he had no control and picked a safe; convenient target. He was able to admit that later on. It was hard for him because he blamed himself and blamed the Chinese and it was easier to be mad at Jack since it allowed him a place to lash out at.
Amazing scene. In a way, you could say Heller serves as a sort of proxy for America or at least its government and Jack's frustration at being used and discarded by his nation over and over.
GET BAUER OUT OF RUSSIA RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!! SEASON 10 ISN’T JUST AN OPTION, IT’S WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT AND NEED! He breaks out of jail, all past sins can be forgiven, and Jack finally escapes the clutches of CTU and whoever else pulls him in, just to move on with his life and maybe start his own private detective agency, whilst also being close to his daughter and granddaughter, where they can both resume or finish the chess game that he and Kim had played at the start of Season 1. Done.
never understand why Jack go to Heller after the escape from platform... and how he understand that Heller doesnt do anithyng for rescue Jack from China...
I think there a many real life Jack Bauer's out there who don't get the credit they deserve and are treated as pawns by the powers that be. Can't imagine how much they are being marginalized in the age of "the stable genius."
season 6 made no sense. you dont just remove your lead actress whose appeared in 47/48 episodes and just forget about her until the end of the season. they should have set season 6 in china. the plot could have been about Audrey going to china, jack breaking out when he learns Audrey is here; jack and Audrey going on the run together while learning about a sinister plot that takes place in china.. like this was bad writing.
S9's was breddy good. heller's speech with all of its fantastic writing work and chloe's walk back... although i felt they could've made the trade for chloe even more momentous.
This speech was coming and needed, 24 is essentially the world taking crap after crap on Jack's life whilst he saves everyone else. Jack is the hero that America needs but not the hero it deserved

Bauer is only serving his country and putting his life on the line while heller is sending men off to die in wars
How Kiefer did not win an Emmy every season that he played Jack Bauer is beyond me
He deserved an Emmy for season 6 especially.
Because this show was on a conservative channel
He's annoying AF thats why
@@woodyburnsgive me a break
Is right ....
"the only thing i did the only thing ive ever done is do what people like you has asked of me"

@@lucasdemarchigomes2935 Is he supposed to sit quietly when he knows that he has the abilities to prevent his country from falling into ruin?

Excellent scene, I remember the first time I saw this back in 2007!
Me too, so intense but also one of the more somber endings to a season of 24
Same!!!!
One of my very favorite scenes.
Best scene ever in 24, with the death of Ryan Chappelle as the second best scene. Hell, every scene where Jacks emotions (or lack of emotions) is playing the bigger part is what made 24 such a unique show!

"Are you here to kill me?"
"...depends"
It's crazy how Heller's lines from 3:29-3:44 came back to haunt Jack, especially how it affects Audrey in Live Another Day
Jordan A Moment it happened I was like. Dammit he was right.
Also the theory of every woman Jack has kissed on screen is now dead. #KissofDeath
not everyone... Kate Warnen don't
Matty was technically right, Kate Warner was not kissed on screen by Jack. Same as Diana the single mother from Season 5.

My favourite moment of this is when Jack yells “Not hard enough!”. You can really hear the anger and pain intermixed in Kiefer’s voice.

I acknowledged the same thing when I saw Season 9.
he might as well take responsibility too
"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." BAUER, Jack.

People who work in the military, law enforcement, and special forces have their own lives. But it doesn't take away what they have to sacrifice to protect this nation, that includes people like Jack.
BullSHT it's a not just a tv show its almost like what happens of tv
Renee was because of her own undercover work. It wasn't because of Jack
I wish every year for a reboot. They don’t make shows like this anymore. That is one of the best series ever created.
Hey man,could you,please,upload the last scene o season 5?The ship scene...That was incredible,including the tense soundtrack
Probably my favorite scene in all of 24. What's interesting is Heller and Jack are both correct.
The worst season of 24 has one of the strongest scene. So much emotional, brilliant acting from Kiefer.
she couldn't let him go because she loved him and she knew that her father could have tried to get him out of China but wouldn't and he admitted that he could have tried also that raid on the Chinese Embassy was approved by his superiors like he said all he has ever done was what he has been told to do by men like heller; besides no one ever asked him to step down from his position as Secretary of Defense and his position was as equally dangerous to Jack's job as a federal agent otherwise he wouldn't have been attacked in both seasons four and five!
I purchased all of the 24 series and now find that the discs are beginning to disintegrate; I now have to look for parts of series online -unfair.
3:40 24 live another day. He predicted it !
and let's not forget he did run for president in season 9 so I digress he was being a complete hypocrite and wasn't living a normal life; he had no right to deny Jack his right to have a life with his daughter, as for him running into the fire that's a part of who he is; he shouldn't have to change wanting to protect and help people for he really cares about people; he did try to walk away once he got pulled back in when the situation was becoming too dangerous and catastrophic!
Top 10 24 Scene. No doubt.
Looks like Heller called it.
Nice! Do you have the scene where Jack sees Audrey and walks out of the house staring into the distance, then the silent clock plays?
How dare you!? How dare you!? Jack still delivers that line better then Greta.
Yes, a lame Season overall--but containing two of some of the best sequences of the 24 saga--Phillip Bauer's final scene... and all of this--but I wished you'd shown the entirety of this scene, him going to say good-bye to Audrey, the silent clock runs to 06:00:00. The whole entire gem of this scene...
This scene pretty much sums up the first 6 seasons.
how can I find the music from this scene?
I think the most brutal thing to take away from this scene is it’s jarring truth. We want Jack to get that perfect ending he deserves because of all’s the sacrifices he made and people he lost to defend our country above and beyond, but his personal life will always be decimated by his actions. In the end Heller was right and what’s worst is that he won’t remember any of that or his daughter... 😔🥺
A very good scene in the sense that whilst we absolutely symapthise with Bauer, we know Heller will be, and ultimately was, proven right. We, the audience, know Bauer's personal life is doomed to failure and tragedy and some part of Jack realises it too. The contrast between what he wants versus what the world around him is, and always will be, has never been starker for Bauer. Bauer's tragedy is that he cannot walk away when he knows he can save millions, maybe even Western civilization itself, because if everything that he stopped had happened, the world would be a far, far, darker and uglier place, i.e., the consequences and society's reaction to all these attacks. Bauer's sense of responsibility will make him always step in but he cannot ever have a personal life because of it.
This scene made Season 6 tolerable
Lol what? 6 was among the best seasons
@@travisblankenship4184S6 was good, but it was also overcrowded. Jack struggling to be what he was, the nuke, everything with Wayne Palmer, Audrey’s death, Cheng. There’s a lot more, and it’s too much to cram into a single season.
What's the theme to this
Ti amo jack
Heller forced Jack to face the reality that he and Audrey could never have a long-term relationship that would last. Jack knew that as long as he's in her life, he's a danger to her. Leaving her turned out to be one of the bravest and best decisions he's ever made. Not only she was wasting her life, he was also wasting his life for something that's never going to happen. Jack had far more important things in his life than maintaining a romantic relationship and he learned to accept that.
Can someone tell me why was there a silent clock in the finale ?
Ian Wheezy the reason why season 6 clock finale was silent is because Jack's life is uncertain he has nothing no one to go to his life is uncertain when I first saw it I thought Jack was being suicidal with them showing the rock ledge by the ocean. So it was a silent clock for Jack about how his life was taken away because of his job at ctu. I call it a lamenting silent clock.
Why? Did you watch the series up to this point? That's why
Can you upload the intro season 7 scene where jack is talking to the senate?
Great scene.
This scene was the beet part of season 6.
While Heller wasn't exactly wrong about how horribly others can and would suffer around Jack, he blamed Jack as badly as he did because he had no control and picked a safe; convenient target. He was able to admit that later on. It was hard for him because he blamed himself and blamed the Chinese and it was easier to be mad at Jack since it allowed him a place to lash out at.
Amazing scene. In a way, you could say Heller serves as a sort of proxy for America or at least its government and Jack's frustration at being used and discarded by his nation over and over.
24 was gone to hell at this stage.
Jack pressed him FR
Season 6 was the weakest of the series, but it wasn't terrible, this scene here was so powerful and great development in the story of Jack Bauer.
SHIT HAPPENED IN DAY 9😭 RIP AUDREY
GET BAUER OUT OF RUSSIA RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!! SEASON 10 ISN’T JUST AN OPTION, IT’S WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT AND NEED! He breaks out of jail, all past sins can be forgiven, and Jack finally escapes the clutches of CTU and whoever else pulls him in, just to move on with his life and maybe start his own private detective agency, whilst also being close to his daughter and granddaughter, where they can both resume or finish the chess game that he and Kim had played at the start of Season 1. Done.
never understand why Jack go to Heller after the escape from platform... and how he understand that Heller doesnt do anithyng for rescue Jack from China...
I think there a many real life Jack Bauer's out there who don't get the credit they deserve and are treated as pawns by the powers that be. Can't imagine how much they are being marginalized in the age of "the stable genius."
Sad thing is....Heller ended up being 100% correct
Heller's right.
" majority of it was improvised by Kiefer"? Really? I'm curious, where do you get that from?
season 6 made no sense. you dont just remove your lead actress whose appeared in 47/48 episodes and just forget about her until the end of the season. they should have set season 6 in china. the plot could have been about Audrey going to china, jack breaking out when he learns Audrey is here; jack and Audrey going on the run together while learning about a sinister plot that takes place in china.. like this was bad writing.
You know, the endings from seasons 1-6 were so good and interesting but from season 7 on, they were so weak. That is at least my opinion.
S9's was breddy good. heller's speech with all of its fantastic writing work and chloe's walk back... although i felt they could've made the trade for chloe even more momentous.
Most think S6 sucked too, except this scene
Heller shutting Jack down in two sentences after listening to him ramble for almost 5 minutes, legendary.
