Jack Bauer stares down an unhappy ending on "24" 6:49pm EDT
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - For fans of hit TV show "24," this will come as no great shock: the show's creator on Friday promised that when the action program finishes its run this month, an unhappy ending will greet Jack Bauer.
U.S. government agent Bauer, played by Kiefer Sutherland, has saved the world time-and-again and been thanked for his efforts with any number of personal tragedies, including the death of loved ones. So it seemed natural that in the final seconds of his final show, he should face hardship -- again.
"(It) leaves him in a compromised place morally, ethically and emotionally," said executive producer Howard Gordon. "This show is a tragedy, and to give Jack a happy ending didn't feel authentic."
But Gordon remained mum on the specifics of how Bauer meets his unhappy fate. Still, beyond the end one thing is certain, there will be more of Jack Bauer to come -- in movie theaters.

that’s not a purse, silly ! It’s a messenger bag !
(that’s really how they’re sold, as messenger bags, very popular in lieu of backpack)
I bet he kills Chloe
That reminds me!
I had my satellite turned off in Jan 2009...so watch all my shows online free- on MY schedule.
So I save up 3-4 episodes of “24” to watch at once - (half the time ‘cause it doesn’t have the long commercials - and I don’t have to wait a whole week between episodes to see ‘what happens now?”
So I’m gonnamake the popcorn and catch up
Typical ending for almost every show that starts off well, and then makes the fatal mistake of using the show for a platform for left wing politics.
“You can give me what I want right now or we can do this the “hard” way.” - Jack Bauer - ordering breakfast
What will he do? What will Jack do?
A fitting ending would be for Jack to put a slug right between the POS ex-president Charles Logan eyes
NOTHING can beat the final episode of “St. Elsewhere.”
Reminds me of the ending of Miami Vice. Crocket hunts down his arch nemesis, and blows his brains out in cold blood, and then takes off... sweet...
“The word is out...Jack Bauer undergoes gender reassignment surgery.”
Jackie Bauer.
The folks at CTU feel sorry for Jack because of all that he's been through. So they set him up with a blind date, who ends up being......
Janeane Garofalo
I agree.
It’s a swiss army messengers bag.
Well said!
HE WOULDN’T DARE!!!!!!!!
MY EYES....MY EYES!
They reveal that he voted for Obama.
I think you get a pass on the unmanliness of a purse when it is used to carry two HK 9mms, a silencer, extra clips of ammo, and a cache of hand grenades.
