Pillar says they shouldn't add murder to what's already happened and Logan seems to change his mind.

He then places a pillow over Pillar's head and shoots him.Woods and Taylor try to enter Logan's suite. They pound on the locked door and yell for Logan to unlock the door. Logan puts the gun to his throat and we hear a shot. Inside they find Logan survived the suicide attempt but is unconscious and probably suffered brain damage.

Jack fights back but is unable to get a jump on him. The man puts Jack on his knees and pull out a pistol. He tells Jack he doesn't want to kill him but "orders are orders." Jack wants him to get it over with and the gun is placed to Jack's head. A split second before the trigger is pulled another one of the men gets a call from Taylor herself ordering them to leave Jack where he is and wait for the FBI to arrive. There is an armed drone overhead and she threatens to fire on them if they do not comply. Jack is handed a phone and the men leave.Taylor tells Jack what happened at the UN and that she plans to tell the whole truth and resign. She wanted the peace so badly that she betrayed her principles. She says she should have listened to Jack. Taylor tells him both the United States and Russia will be after him and he should leave the country. She apologizes.Jack calls Chloe and makes her promise to keep his family safe after he disappears. Jack tells her he never thought it would be her to help him all these years and thanks her. She says, Good luck, Jack." Chloe orders the drone back to base. Jack glances up at the drone and Chloe, with tears streaming down her face, gives the final order: "Bring the drone back to the base. Whatever happened here didn't happen. Shut it down."The clock reaches "00:00."
