Quotes 

• Sergei Bazhaev : I knew you were a cop. I should have trusted my instincts and killed you right on the spot.

  Jack Bauer : Oh, you can add it to your list of regrets.

• Sergei Bazhaev : [after kidnapping him]  who are you?

  Jack Bauer : [while undercover]  Ernst Meier

  Sergei Bazhaev : I've been looking for you to make you an "offer"

  Sergei Bazhaev : You know who I am?

  Jack Bauer : No, all I know is that there's a very powerful man in the Russian syndicate that has been trafficking weapons grade uranium: specifically U-235 fuel rods. After the nasty business with Laitanan, these men brought me here. So I'm just assuming your "that man"

  Sergei Bazhaev : Where did you get this information?

  Sergei Bazhaev : [Irritated]  from who?

  Jack Bauer : Farhad Hassan or someone in his "camp". In either case, you're doing business with the wrong "people"

  Sergei Bazhaev : And who are these "people?" The ones you work for?

  Jack Bauer : I'm sure you can understand, I'm not at liberty to say

  Sergei Bazhaev : [after Sergei orders one of his men to punch Jack]  you should be less concerned about whom I work for and more concerned about the deal their willing to offer you

  Jack Bauer : I'm not interested in your offer

  Sergei Bazhaev : Two hundred million dollars: half of which is ready to be wired to you immediately. The other half you'll receive on final acquisition of the fuel rods

  Sergei Bazhaev : [Pulls back Jack's hair]  you pose a very difficult problem for me: show up out of nowhere, knowing far too much of my business yet I've never heard of you

  Jack Bauer : You've never heard of me because I am good at what I do

  Sergei Bazhaev : What I'm concerned about is that you're a cop

  Jack Bauer : I just killed three people back at that garage. Vladimir Laitanan I stabbed in the eye. You really think I'm a cop?

  Sergei Bazhaev : As a child, I saw KGB throw an entire family off the roof of a building: two of them were small children. I know what cops are capable of, so I ask you again, who do you work for?

  Jack Bauer : I'm sorry I can't tell you that

• Sergei Bazhaev : You have buried your brother's body?

  Josef Bazhaev : [after nodding, hands him the necklace]  it's Oleg's: you gave it to him at his confirmation

  Sergei Bazhaev : [Hands it back to him]  you keep it, to remind you of him. I'm glad your back: we may have a problem

  Josef Bazhaev : What is it?

  Sergei Bazhaev : There is a man down the hall and claims to be an arms broker. He knows about the nuclear rods

  Josef Bazhaev : [Shakes his head]  how could he?

  Sergei Bazhaev : He says there was a "leak" from Farhad's people but I wonder until I know for certain who and what this man is, I've stopped the transfer of the rods: they've been redirected to our waste station off the Wantagh Parkway

  Josef Bazhaev : I'm sure Farhad can't be happy about that

  Sergei Bazhaev : I haven't told him yet, perhaps we should tell him together?

  Josef Bazhaev : How long do you plan to hold him off?

  Sergei Bazhaev : That depends

  Josef Bazhaev : On what?

  Sergei Bazhaev : On how long it takes Dmitri to "break" this guy

• Farhad Hassan : [after Sergei enters the room with his son Josef]  yes? What is it?

  Sergei Bazhaev : There is a man downstairs who's shown up to outbid you for the fuel rods

  Farhad Hassan : [Amused]  is this some feeble "attempt" to renegotiate terms?

  Sergei Bazhaev : Not at all: this man Meier claims someone in your organization tipped him off to our deal

  Farhad Hassan : That's not possible, his lying

  Sergei Bazhaev : In light of his "sudden appearance", I am holding delivery of the rods for the time being

  Farhad Hassan : What? You can't do that

  Sergei Bazhaev : It's already done. I cannot take the risk of that we may be exposed

  Farhad Hassan : The longer you delay, the more time my brother has to crush his enemies. If he manages to purge everyone in the military who opposes him, the uranium is worthless to me

  Sergei Bazhaev : That's your concern: mine is to make certain this Meier is not a policeman. One of my men is interrogating him now

  Farhad Hassan : [Irritated]  that could take hours, even days

  Sergei Bazhaev : Not days. I can promise you that

  Farhad Hassan : You "promised" to assassinate my brother too, your failure to eliminate him has put me under enormous pressure and now because your people inability to maintain secrecy, your break our timetable to suit your needs...

  Josef Bazhaev : [after putting a gun to Farhad's head]  don't speak to my father that way: we have honored every agreement we've made with you, and spilled a lot of blood for it. My father has allowed you to stay here and hide from the Feds at great personal risk to our family

  Farhad Hassan : [to Sergei]  tell... him to put the gun down

  Josef Bazhaev : [Ignores Farhad]  no, we're not taking any more of your demands. Throw him out of here: let his own people "shelter" him if he thinks we're such fools, I'll drive him there myself if that's what it takes

  Sergei Bazhaev : [Steps closer to Farhad]  it would seem you used up our hospitality here. Perhaps it's best you joined your men at the rendezvous point to wait for delivery?

  Farhad Hassan : And when will that be?

  Sergei Bazhaev : When I think it's safe: not a moment before

• Sergei Bazhaev : I knew you were a cop. I should have trusted my instincts and killed you right on the spot

  Jack Bauer : Oh, you can add it to your list of regrets. CTU has already acquired a great deal of intel on you

  Jack Bauer : [after he doesn't respond]  it's over: you know that right? You're finished. I mean on the very least we've got you on kidnapping and murder and that's before CTU rips this place apart and uncovers the rest of your criminal activity: luckily for you though, I'm only interested in "one thing" and that's the acquisition of those fuel rods. So if you were to cooperate, help me out there, that would a long way to reduce what is clearly is going to be a long prison sentence: that offer extends to both of your sons too: Josef and Oleg

  Sergei Bazhaev : Oleg is dead, he was exposed to the rods and became ill with radiation poisoning. He was suffering and I shot him as if he was a sick dog. I murdered my own son... for nothing. You want to know where the rods are? I'll tell you but I want full immunity, not just for me but for my other son Josef

  Jack Bauer : [Shakes his head]  I don't think I could make that happen

  Sergei Bazhaev : Then we have nothing to talk about

  Jack Bauer : [after thinking it over]  I'll see what I can do
