Quotes 

• Christopher Henderson : [while in an interrogation room]  since you're clearly no longer a fugitive, I assume they've retrieved that recording

  Jack Bauer : Someone got to it and erased it. I'm not here to talk about the recording, Bierko escaped about half an hour ago, his going to carry out another attack

  Christopher Henderson : I'm sure he will: you bruised the man's ego when you stopped his first attempt

  Jack Bauer : You know him, you know how he thinks. You studied him before you set up this deal, what's he going to do?

  Christopher Henderson : Why should I help you?

  Jack Bauer : You call yourself a "patriot", prove it. These terrorists are going to attack the country you love. Because you betrayed them, why don't you help me put out the fire you started?

  Christopher Henderson : They sent you in here to broker a deal, didn't they? What's the offer? Full immunity? That must be just eating you up inside

  Jack Bauer : What'd you think? You are responsible for the murder of people I care about

  Christopher Henderson : I am sorry about David Palmer, I am but what I did was in the interest of the destiny to this country. I'm not talking about the version you read about on the op-ed of the New York Times, I'm talking about the politics of survival. The way the world really works

  Jack Bauer : You want immunity or not?

  Christopher Henderson : Immunity is worthless: that recording was my only "immunity", they give me a piece and when I walk out of here I'm a dead man. Two days, two hours, who cares? They're going to take me down

  Jack Bauer : Who's "they"?

  Christopher Henderson : Same people who made Walt Cummings look like a suicide. Come on you can't think Charles Logan masterminded all by himself?

  Jack Bauer : Give me the names

  Christopher Henderson : You can't touch them but they can touch you. I'll help you catch Bierko but not for an immunity deal, I need something more and you're the only person that can make it happen

  Jack Bauer : What'd you want?

  Christopher Henderson : To disappear, just like you did so they wouldn't turn you over to the Chinese, except I'm not going to make your mistake, I'm going to leave the country and take Miriam with me

  Jack Bauer : You don't need my help for that

  Christopher Henderson : Actually I do, all of my contacts are still loyal to the President. I need someone I can trust to cover our tracks. I need someone who can do a better job unlike the incompetents who failed to covers yours

  Jack Bauer : What makes you think I'm not going to kill you the second this is over?

  Christopher Henderson : Because you're going to give me your word and I know what your word is worth to you so it's all I need

  Jack Bauer : Let's say I agree to this, anything less than Bierko's head on a plate, this deal is off

  Christopher Henderson : Fine, now Bierko's going to hit hard: so you better think fast

• Karen Hayes : [to Chloe, while in the Situation Room]  alright, what do we have?

  Chloe O'Brian : Out of the fourteen names on list, only one has an active cell phone: Joseph Malina

  Christopher Henderson : Joseph Malina is an arms dealer, he used to be a military contractor until they accused him of selling secrets, they couldn't prove anything, so he beat all the charges

  Jack Bauer : You know him?

  Christopher Henderson : Well enough. I did business with him before and after he was arrested

  Karen Hayes : [to Chloe]  what do you have on him?

  Chloe O'Brian : Malina got a twelve second call on his home phone at 4:03am from a payphone in Van Nuys, not far from the ambush site. a minute later, the same payphone got a call back from a GSM SAT phone

  Bill Buchanan : In other words, he took the phone number down and called from an untraceable line: sounds like our guy

  Karen Hayes : [to Bill]  tell Curtis to mobilize his tactical team

  Christopher Henderson : Hang on. Now what good is that going to accomplish? If your bring Malina in here, you think his just going to roll over on Bierko? He didn't cut a deal when he was busted before, his not going to cut a deal now and even if you can crack him, I don't think you can, you're going to need hours. You don't have hours

  Jack Bauer : [Sternly]  what do you "suggest"?

  Christopher Henderson : I "suggest" you send me in to talk to Malina, I'll find out what Bierko got from him

  Jack Bauer : I don't think so

  Christopher Henderson : [to Jack]  don't be stupid, you know you can't get anything out of this guy, his computer makes this place look like an internet café: his got the most absolute most sophisticated state of the art security system including a Phoenix Shield

  Bill Buchanan : We can get through it

  Chloe O'Brian : Not a Phoenix, it has a poison code firewall, any attempt in circumventing it the hard drive does a "cold" erase at which point, you can forget about retrieving any data

  Karen Hayes : [to security, referring to Henderson]  take him back to holding

• Joseph Malina : What's so important that it couldn't wait? What're you looking for?

  Christopher Henderson : [while in Malina's home]  is there another way out of here?

  Joseph Malina : What're you talking about?

  Christopher Henderson : Secure your cash and your files: anything you can't do without

  Joseph Malina : Why?

  Christopher Henderson : Because there's an entire faylink of CTU agents outside including an ex-agent named Jack Bauer. Now Bauer's "running" me, I cut a deal with him but I know this guy's going to kill me the first chance he gets

  Joseph Malina : You bastard, you brought them here

  Christopher Henderson : He was coming here anyway so secure your files, crash the system, stop wasting time, and do it
