Yeah, if you take the trouble to put on the mask, leave it on. When you take it off, hostages might believe that since they've seen your face you plan to kill them. This might tempt you to do something stupid since you think you're going to die anyway. And Jack didn't want that. And the only reason I'm complaining about the weak ass plot, is that it has been so much better and I hold the show to more high standards.

Jack had to leave in order to follow the bad guy. At first, I actually expected him to let Andrew die in order to keep following the bad guy.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
Hey, I'll leave my flunkees to take care of Andrew, while I go somewhere else and assume they did a great job!'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

I think one of the big reasons Jack didn't slash the guy's tires:
There is every possibility that Khalid would have seen him do it! You're a terrorist, you're standing in line to pay for gas (or something), you see some guy approach your car, then walk away. When you come out, you've got a flat tire. Game over--you know you've been made.

Um... I meant the BAD GUY leaving, trusting the flunkees to get information and then kill him. We all know that leaving the flunkees to deal with someone results in a rescue.Originally posted by The diplomat

For the tires, I would assume that we would have flaten more then one tire. And it would seem kind of strange that when you went inside to pay for gas that you tires are ok, and then when you come back they are flat. Also people sometimes dont have such a great memory when it comes to situations like this.Originally posted by Pyrodrew
Changing a tire only takes 15 minutes. He's not an old lady. Why risk possibly having the local police after him over a car-jacking that may or may not work to save 15minutes?
And it's not like a flat tire or hold up the whole gas station were the only options.
It sure didn't take long for the terrorist on foot to find a new vehicle on that road.
Yes, that's convenient.
So if you were one of the hostages (like the terrorist) wouldn't you wonder why a robber doesn't care if people (who he lets live) see his face when he came with means to prevent it? Why even bring the mask in the 1st place?Comment

Whenever I had a flat tire I only had 1 flat tire to change. Jack didn't need to delay him long. 1 flat tire would have been fine.
As far as risks, there seems to be 2 with the flat tire...
1>Jack isn't sly enough and the terrorist can easily see and is watching his vehicle so Jack is seen doing it. Then the terrorist assumes Jack is not an envious vandal/nut, but a high-tech agent without a car tracking device slitting a tire because he needs a few minutes to lock a satellite on him.
or
2>The terrorist doesn't believe he could have ever punctured his tire just before pulling in. And after standing in line and then pumping gas obtain a flat. The flat tire, even after his evasive manuevers earlier, must mean someone is following him without a car tracking device and gave him a flat because they need a few minutes to lock a satellite on him.
Some of the risks for the robbery attempt...
1>Jack gets himself killed;
and/or
2>Jack gets innocent people, like the cop, killed;
and/or
3>The terrorist gets killed or gets away before the car-jacking;
and/or
4>The hostages (terrorist, cop, whoever) successfully stop Jack during the robbery;
and/or
5>The terrorist doesn't believe Jack is a robber due to some/all the questions raised in this thread;
and/or
6>The local police stop Jack.Comment
