This is based entirely on my own thoughts, and I haven't been to any spoiler/rumor sites, but I'll put it in the extended entry anyway...
So, we know that next week's season finale of 24 is going to involve a firefight on a submarine in order to keep a bunch of missiles from being launched at Los Angeles. I'm assuming, based on this show's formula, that Bierko and his men are going to be taken out about a nanosecond before they can fire, or that one missile will fire, but the others will be contained.
However, my prediction involves the fate of murderer/traitor/dude who let his wife get shot in the leg Christopher Henderson. Jack said he was bringing him along because he knows the weapons system, so we can assume that he ends up on the sub somehow. Assuming he isn't killed in the fight against Bierko (which, given Marwan's anti-climactic end last season, wouldn't totally surprise me), I'm guessing he's going to have to disable the missiles himself. Here's my prediction of what will follow. If this actually happens, you can all bow down to my precognitive/screenwriting powers:
_______________________________
INT. THE NATALIA - NIGHT
Bierko and his henchmen are dead, and LA has once again been saved from annihilation. Henderson gets up to leave the weapon control console, but Jack pulls out his gun and points it at Henderson.
HENDERSON: That's not necessary, Jack. I won't try to run.
JACK: Shut up, you son of a bitch.
Jack moves closer.
JACK: I should've done this the first time I had the chance.
Jack raises the gun to Henderson's head.
HENDERSON: What are you doing, Jack? I thought we had a deal.
JACK: We did. I said I'd help you disappear.
Jack fires twice. Henderson drops to the ground, clearly dead.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE NATALIA - NIGHT
Jack dumps Henderson's body in the water.
BOOP. BEEP. BOOP. BEEP.

If this doesn't happen, whatever they do come up with had better be good.
