Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : Relax Mr Hodges, you're already dead.

• Chloe O'Brian : You look like hell, are you alright?

  Jack Bauer : I'm fine

  Chloe O'Brian : You don't look fine.

  Jack Bauer : Maybe a little tired.

• Renee Walker : Tell me what the hell is going on?

  Jack Bauer : Tony was working with Galvez all along: he used all of us so he could get to the canister

  Renee Walker : So what're you saying? Tony... killed Larry?

  Jack Bauer : Yes, they must've ambushed them as the chopper was setting down. Tony stayed behind so he could monitor our search to make sure Galvez could get behind the perimeter

  Renee Walker : Jack...

  Jack Bauer : I'm so sorry, this is my fault, and I vouched for him to you, to the President. I made a terrible, terrible mistake. I felt something wasn't adding up but... I just so wanted to believe

• Jonas Hodges : Who are you?

  Jack Bauer : My name is Jack Bauer, right now I'm the only chance your wife and children have to stay alive

  Jonas Hodges : Explain that to me

  Jack Bauer : The people who wanted you dead don't know you survived: tell us who they are and we'll keep it that way. The President's agreed to provide you with death certificate and witness protection in exchange for "actionable" information. If you refuse, it'll be released to the press that you are alive and in our custody that you're "cooperating." We'll let your friends take care of the rest

  Jonas Hodges : My family is innocent, the President will never allow that to happen: she doesn't have the stomach for it

  Jack Bauer : You might be right about that but make no mistake about it sir, I do. Trust me, do your family a favor, and just tell me who you're working with

  Jonas Hodges : I am... I was part of a larger group of "light minds"

  Jack Bauer : You mean other companies like Starkwood?

  Jonas Hodges : I mean people who can protect this country better than any government ever could

  Jack Bauer : There are hundreds of private military companies in this country, we're talking about tens of thousands of people

  Jonas Hodges : But only a handful with the guts and the vision to do what was necessary

  Jack Bauer : And what is that?

  Jonas Hodges : The plan was to launch simultaneous attacks early next year: multiple cities so the public could finally see the government can't protect them. They demand drastic measures and we'd step in

  Jack Bauer : How would you justify that to the American people?

  Jonas Hodges : Simple: offload the blame. We were going to supply the enemies who want to destroy this country. Muhammad this, Ached that. From sleeper cells the apologists say don't even exist. You of all people should understand

  Jack Bauer : Understand what?

  Jonas Hodges : I watched the Senate hearing yesterday and I was disgusted on how you were treated: you should be regarded as a hero, not a criminal

  Jack Bauer : I broke the law

  Jonas Hodges : You were following your "instinct" to protect this country, just like me

  Jack Bauer : [Raises his voice]  I need the names of the people you are working with

  Jonas Hodges : I have spent my entire life protecting this country from enemies large and small. I created Starkwood from the ground up. The government used us to great effect and now they think they could throw us away

  Jack Bauer : Are you telling me this has been about protecting your contracts? Protecting your money?

  Jonas Hodges : I tried to tell the politicians how vulnerable we are and they wouldn't listen so we decided to show them

  Jack Bauer : By attacking your own country with a biological weapon? By killing innocent people?

  Jonas Hodges : Yes, a few innocent lives would be lost but only to save the greater number, having the courage to make those hard choices gives us a lot in common

  Jack Bauer : Let me explain something to you: you and I have absolutely nothing in common. All that you've done today is to create a "scenario" by attacking your own country that has made you "valuable" again. Today has been nothing short of a "desperate grab" for power and it has failed. You have failed and unless you want me to go public with the fact that you are still alive, you are going to give me the names of the people you have been working with

  Jonas Hodges : I don't have...

  Jack Bauer : [Interrupts him]  I want the names

  Jonas Hodges : I don't have...

  Jack Bauer : [Yells]  I want the names

  Jonas Hodges : [Yells]  I don't know any

• Chloe O'Brian : [Over the phone]  where the hell are you?

  Jack Bauer : FBI headquarters

  Chloe O'Brian : I've been trying to reach you all night: no one would tell me anything. Is it true about Bill?

  Jack Bauer : I'm afraid so

  Chloe O'Brian : What happened?

  Jack Bauer : He was killed during the White House siege. You should know those sacrifices were made to save the President. Listen to me, this threat is not over, we believe there's going to be a biological attack somewhere in area: soon. I need your help to stop it, I need you to reconstitute the CTU servers

  Chloe O'Brian : They were seized when CTU was decommissioned, I don't have access to them

  Jack Bauer : You will by the time you get here

  Chloe O'Brian : Who's doing this?

  Jack Bauer : We don't have all the "players", I'll fill you in as much as I can when you get here. I'm sending a car over to your hotel

  Jack Bauer : [after she doesn't respond]  Chloe?

  Chloe O'Brian : [after thinking it over]  send the car

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  thank you

• President Allison Taylor : [Over the speakerphone]  I'm here with Tim Woods. Have you secured the canister?

  Renee Walker : I'm afraid not ma'am, our suspect escaped beyond the perimeter

  President Allison Taylor : I was told the area was locked down. What happened?

  Jack Bauer : [Over the speakerphone on Renee's cell phone]  he had help madam President: Tony Almeida

  President Allison Taylor : Almeida? He was working for us

  Jack Bauer : Yes ma'am, it only "appeared" that way. Apparently, he was pursuing his own agenda trying to get his hands on the canister. Madam President, I know I "vouched" for him. All I can tell you right now is that I was wrong and I'm sorry

  Tim Woods : Now that we know he has the canister, do we have any "idea" what he intends to do with it?

  Jack Bauer : No, not yet

  Tim Woods : Or where he is?

  Renee Walker : We're all hands on deck here sir: we're regrouping to develop leads

  President Allison Taylor : I may have "one". As Hodges was taken into custody, he yelled at me about some "larger group" continuing on after his arrest. Something I wouldn't be able to stop

  Jack Bauer : What'd you think he meant?

  President Allison Taylor : All I know for sure is "someone" doesn't want Hodges to talk

  Tim Woods : Shortly after he was arrested, he was visited by someone impersonating his lawyer: she apparently gave him some kind of lethal drug because ten minutes later he tried to commit suicide

  Jack Bauer : Tried to commit suicide?

  President Allison Taylor : He's still alive. Jonas Hodges was completely unrepentant. This suicide must've been coerced

  Jack Bauer : Well, obviously their holding something over him: most likely his family. If that's the case madam President, we need to talk to them

  President Allison Taylor : Jack, even after everything that's happened today, I will not allow any kind of "coercive interrogation"

  Jack Bauer : Madam President, that won't be necessary, he'll talk

  President Allison Taylor : How can you be sure?

  Jack Bauer : Because we can offer Hodges something he needs

  President Allison Taylor : What's that?

  Jack Bauer : Proof of death. We can convince the people that wanted him dead succeeded, it's the only way Hodges can protect his family. Madam President, right now he's the only lead we've got

• Renee Walker : [During a briefing]  alright, before we begin everyone make sure you have your updated briefing packets and the latest CDC abstract. Jack, whenever you're ready

  Jack Bauer : Thank you, I know many of you have lost friends and colleagues today, I have too. Unfortunately, the time to mourn these brave men and women is going to have to wait. As many of you are already aware, we're facing the threat of a terrorist event somewhere on the eastern sea border. We don't have specific intel on a timetable of this attack but we do have reason to believe that the people behind this will want to strike immediately

  Tim Moran : [Introduces himself]  excuse me, Tim Moran Field Ops. Who are the people behind this?

  Jack Bauer : Right now we only have two confirmed suspects: Tony Almeida and the woman he's been working with, we're still trying to identify her

  Renee Walker : The assumption is the two of are part of a broader conspiracy as outlined in your briefing material

  Tim Moran : And the nature of the attack? All it says here it's biological

  Jack Bauer : The actual pathogen is a Prion variant designed to attack the central nervous system and ultimately destroy it

  Janis Gold : Do we know what the target is?

  Jack Bauer : No, not yet: we're also unclear on the specifics on the delivery device

  Tim Moran : Well, what leads do we have?

  Jack Bauer : Right now, we're solely working off an operation theory that the people behind this will need to manufacture evidence in an effort to offload the blame for this attack to another group or an individual with terrorist sympathies. During the ensuing panic, these people will move in and seize power under the guise of creating and maintaining stability

  Renee Walker : So our job here is to look for traces of that manufactured evidence

  Janis Gold : How exactly?

  Renee Walker : Pattern searches of suspicious financial transactions, keyword intercepts of existing wiretaps of websites, emails, and data mining of all of NSA and CIA intelligence on jihadist activities over the past six months

  Janis Gold : Excuse me, not only that type of "blanket" surveillance illegal, we don't have the capacity to pull it off: a search algorism simply don't exist

  Renee Walker : Yes, they do at CTU

  Janis Gold : Those servers were decommissioned

  Renee Walker : Not anymore, we're in the process of installing them now

  Janis Gold : What does that make us? "CTU light?" Last I heard the Bureau was a federal entity bound by federal statute

  Renee Walker : Janis, do this or I will someone else who will. I do not have time to argue

  Janis Gold : I'm not arguing, I'm "asking"

• Chloe O'Brian : [after she arrived at FBI headquarters]  You look like hell, are you alright?

  Jack Bauer : I'm fine

  Chloe O'Brian : You don't look "fine"

  Jack Bauer : Maybe a little tired: you get the report I sent you?

  Chloe O'Brian : Yeah, I read it on the way over, it's terrifying. How "real" is this?

  Jack Bauer : Real

  Chloe O'Brian : We're getting access to the CTU servers right?

  Jack Bauer : Yeah, their coming online now

  Chloe O'Brian : Shouldn't I be supervising this?

  Jack Bauer : Yeah, look, there's something I need to talk to you about before we get started: there's no easy way for me to say this but Tony's been responsible for these attacks

  Chloe O'Brian : That's not possible

  Jack Bauer : He was using you and Bill all along. He's really been working for a group of private military firms trying to destabilize this country in an effort to seize power. So far today, his actions have cost the lives of hundreds of people but his threatening thousands more

  Chloe O'Brian : It doesn't make any sense, I know he was devastated from losing Michelle but...

  Jack Bauer : [Interrupts her]  his not you're "friend." The Tony that you "knew" doesn't exist anymore

  Chloe O'Brian : There has to be a "reason"

  Jack Bauer : A "reason" for what? Bringing down two passenger planes? Trying to ambush twenty five Federal agents? He tried to kill me: he betrayed us all. You, me and Bill and right now our only responsibility is to stop him. Now I need to know you can treat him as an enemy combatant if you are with me on this

  Chloe O'Brian : Ok, I'll do whatever you say

  Jack Bauer : [Shakes his head]  no, I need to know that "you" are with me on this

  Chloe O'Brian : I'm with you

  Jack Bauer : Ok, let's go

• Jack Bauer : [irritated of hearing Janis constantly complaining, rushing up to her]  look, if your need to complain is more important than the lives of the people that are counting on us, go whine somewhere else!

  Chloe O'Brian : Jack, it's ok

  Jack Bauer : No, it is not ok. President David Palmer re-commissioned these servers because he felt it were vital to national security President Palmer made the call! Is that going to be good enough for you? Answer me

  Janis Gold : [nervously, before Jack Walks away]  yes

  Chloe O'Brian : [referring to the fact that Jack mistakenly thought President Palmer was still in Office]  there's something really wrong with him

  Chloe O'Brian : He said President Palmer

  Janis Gold : He meant Taylor

  Chloe O'Brian : He said it twice
