To uncover the imminent threat surrounding the agency, he decides to resign from his position and suggests James Greer as his replacement. Jack takes this risk to protect his country. After Mike tracks down Chavez in California using his tattoo, Jack later joins them, enjoying what could be Chavez's "last night”.
