I recorded it on my DISH player and lost the last 10 minutes, it seemed to start late (Fox east) because of the football game. What happened toward the end? Thanks

You didn't miss much.....only the entire reason why Jack is going to have a very, very bad day.
In a nutshell, after Jack drives Derek (teenage boy of his "Mojave girlfriend" Diane) to Ontario airport to re-unite with his mother, Jack goes into the terminal to find the baggage handler whose name was in the document on President Palmer's computer.
Derek sees a group of "sleazy-looking" thugs enter the terminal, tells his mother he has to warn Jack, jumps out of the car and runs into the terminal.
Jack locates the baggage handler, but before he can get any info from him, he hears gunfire in the terminal and lets go of the man for just an instant. Bad move for Jack, since the man reaches into his waistband, pulls out a cyanide capsule and offs himself.
The thugs kill a few members of airport security and demand that everyone lie on the floor. The leader then makes some sort of statement that the US and Russian Presidents must make a joint statement condemning the treaty talks that are about to begin or all hostages will die.
The hour ends with Jack taking a position in the terminal overlooking the hostage situation. He sees that Derek is one of the hostages.
I wouldn't be too upset about missing the last 10 minutes, I'm sure they will recap it at the beginning.
