Jack Bauer, Director of Field Ops for the Counter-Terrorist Unit of Los Angeles, races against the clock to subvert terrorist plots and save his nation from ultimate disaster.
Jack Bauer: [while holding President Logan at gunpoint] A year and a half ago I was warned my life was in danger. I was told the only way to survive was to create the illusion that I was dead. I had the deceive people I cared about. My daughter will never forgive me. Now that I see the depth of your corruption there is no doubt that source of danger was you. David Palmer was a great man and a great president, but he was also my friend. He tried to warn me about you and now he is dead. Other people tried to help me and they are dead. So Mr. Logan, I really have nothing left to lose.
George Mason: Believe it or not, I used to want to be a teacher. A long time ago. You know why I didn't? DOD offered me more money. That's how I made my decision. So I made myself miserable. And I made everybody else around me miserable. For an extra five thousand dollars a year. That was my price.
Michelle Dessler: I'm sorry.
George Mason: You know, Michelle, I'm not a big advice giver, but under the circumstances... Don't wait around for your life to happen to you. Find something that makes you happy, and do it. Because everything else is all just background noise.
Michelle Dessler: I'm sorry.
George Mason: You know, Michelle, I'm not a big advice giver, but under the circumstances... Don't wait around for your life to happen to you. Find something that makes you happy, and do it. Because everything else is all just background noise.

Edgar Stiles: Sure, fine.
[walks away]
Chloe: Edgar, I appreciate your concern. I really do. Just when I shot that guy, I thought I'd go all fetal position. But the truth is, I didn't feel anything. At all. I hope I'm not some kind of a psychopath.
Edgar Stiles: Well, he *was* trying to kill you.
Chloe: Yeah, but still!

George Mason: You still have a life, Jack. You wanna be a real hero, here's what you do. You get back down there and you put the pieces together. You find a way to forgive yourself for what happened to your wife. You make things right with your daughter, and you go on serving your country. That'd take some real guts.
Jack Bauer: A few years ago, my wife was killed because of my job. My daughter has never been the same since. This last year... well, you know what I went through to bring you in. What'd I get for it? A pat on the back. In the end, a demotion and a heroin habit. I'm tired of putting my ass on the line for nothing. I'm DONE putting my ass on the line for nothing.

Jack Bauer: The Sunday before you killed my wife... Teri and I went to the boardwalk in Venice just watching all the rollerbladers and musicians, laughing at the crazy people, spending time together. And Teri sees this sno-cone stand. She giggles like a kid. She takes off running, she wants to get in line, she wants one. I remember I was watching her, I was just... I couldn't help myself. When I look up at her she's talking to this old lady in line behind her and the two of them are laughing, and I'm thinking to myself, how the hell does she do that. How does she strike up a conversation with an absolute stranger? And they just start laughing. Like they'd been friends forever. That's a GIFT. I remember thinking, God, I wish I could do that. But I can't. That was Teri. My wife. That's what you took from this world, Nina. That's what you took from me, and my daughter. I just wanted you to know that.
Jack Bauer: Honey, I've got to start focusing on what I'm doing up here, I'm running out of time, okay? So uh... I-I'm gonna have to say good-bye. I love you more than anything in the world and I'll always be with you, okay? Remember that.
Kim: Oh. I'm proud of you, and I love you.
Jack Bauer: I love you too sweetheart... Bye.
Kim: Oh. I'm proud of you, and I love you.
Jack Bauer: I love you too sweetheart... Bye.

Sherry Palmer: No, you don't want me here! So let's just quit playing games?
Lynne Kresge: How dare you speak to me like this? I was appointed by the President of the United States of America because of my qualifications in foreign policy and crisis management, and I don't know what kind of credentials you have that make you think you can lecture me. Fine. You don't want to play games? I don't like you. And I don't like you being here.

President Palmer: All right. This is what we're gonna do. We may be short on manpower, but it doesn't have to appear that way. Send all the Eastern Georgia National Guard to Marietta, and tell the media that this is where something's going to happen.
Mike Novick: Uh, what's going to happen, sir?
President Palmer: If this is what the people are going to be watching, let's show them how we're going to respond. I want them to see how we protect our citizens. We will not put up with racism or xenophobia. If this is where it's going to start, this is where it's going to stop.

President Palmer: Make no mistake: if we unleash our military power on nations that later prove innocent, it will rank as one of the most despicable sneak attacks in history. Any chance for peace in the Middle East will vanish forever. Even if it'll cost American lives in the future, we must delay this attack until we are certain of our ground.
[after Jack Bauer's team attacks the Chinese Consulate]
President Palmer: It was a covert operation, not dissimilar to those carried out by countries on a routine basis around the world.
Charles Logan: Don't give me a social studies lesson, David. We marched onto Chinese soil, we kidnapped one of their nationals, and in the process the Chinese consul was killed.

Behrooz Araz: She didn't know anything. You didn't have to kill her.
Dina Araz: Yes, I did. Because you didn't have the courage to kill her yourself.
Behrooz Araz: Courage? To poison a girl who did no harm to you at all?
Dina Araz: [Dina and Behrooz stop, as they hear a car door close. Dina checks the blinds] Your father's home!
Behrooz Araz: [Behrooz watches as Dina grabs a pillow and the gun] What are you doing? She's already dead.
Dina Araz: If your father doesn't see a bullet wound, he'll ask questions. Do you want him to know that you tried to help your girlfriend escape? Do you want him to know that you failed him again? Move away!
[Dina fires the gun into the pillow, and leaves a bullet in Debbie, and offers Behrooz the gun]
Dina Araz: Take it. Take it. Behrooz, take it. Take it! This has to stop, Behrooz. You are my son and I love you, but I cannot let you destroy everything. Everything we worked so hard to achieve.

Alan Milliken: [to Sherry, who is snooping up on something he has covered up] You come into my house? After everything I've done for your family? I've made your children's father the President of the United States!
Sherry Palmer: Wait a minute, whatever you did to help David was *not* for the benefit of my children. Let's get that straight. You're just a small man, Alan, who lords his money over his friends because that's all you have, that's all you are! Why do you think your wife had to go out and find another man?
Alan Milliken: Don't you *talk* to me like this!
Sherry Palmer: Because you're *not* one! Not one woman in her right mind would find you attractive without your wealth, Alan! That's what people want from you.
[Alan gasps, he is having a heart attack while Sherry continues]
Sherry Palmer: That's all Julia wants from you. And I'm supposed to be afraid of you? You think I'm scared of you? You're just a little boy, Alan! A pathetic, scrawny, sickly little boy!
Alan Milliken: [gasping] Julia, my pills. My pills!
Sherry Palmer: [Julia grabs the pills, going to Alan as Sherry grabs her arm] No, don't!
Julia Milliken: What are you doing?
Sherry Palmer: Don't!

Chase: Listen, Jack. I'm gonna be honest with you. I look up to you. I'd take a bullet for you if I had to, but right now, I'm gonna hold the mirror up. You were under with Salazar for six months. I know what they did to you, and I know what you did to yourself. You can't make that go away overnight. You think I didn't know?
Jack Bauer: You should mind your own business, Chase.
Chase: All I'm trying to say is that I'm here for you. But today is not the day to try to prove to everybody that you're all better. It's about to hit the fan, you know that and I know that. So do what you gotta do, man. Get your head straight, so we can do our work.

[Jack Bauer is preparing to execute Ryan Chapelle]
Chapelle: There's no way around this, right Jack? We don't have any outs here.
Jack Bauer: Not that I can see.
[cocks gun]
Chapelle: [as a tear runs down his face] Wait! All right. Let me do this myself. At least give me... the dignity of-of taking m-my own life; that's something you can do.
Jack Bauer: No, Ryan, I can't do that.
Chapelle: Yes, you can! You were right back at CTU to put me under watch. I wasn't going out for a cigarette, I was trying to bolt. But I know this has to happen.
Jack Bauer: I can't take that chance.
Chapelle: I'm giving you my word, Jack. I won't run, I swear. I-I-I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared, but I'm not gonna run. I couldn't live with myself, knowing that I was responsible for the deaths of all those people.
[voice breaking]
Chapelle: You gotta believe me.
Chapelle: There's no way around this, right Jack? We don't have any outs here.
Jack Bauer: Not that I can see.

[voice breaking]
Chapelle: You gotta believe me.
Chase: Let me be upfront with you, Jack. I look up to you, and I'd even take a bullet for you. Instead, I'm holding a mirror right in front of your face. I know what they did to you when you were undercover with the Salazars. If something goes wrong, I'm always there when you need me.
Jack Bauer: Mind your own business Chase.
Chase: Today is NOT the day to prove that everything is okay and this will be a rough day. Get your head straight man, and do what you got to do.
Jack Bauer: Mind your own business Chase.

[about Syed Ali]
Jack Bauer: Are you trying to protect this man?
Imam Fulani: No, Agent Bauer, I have no misplaced loyalties. If the man you are looking for has murdered an innocent, he is as guilty in the eyes of Islam as he is in yours.
Jack Bauer: The man that I'm looking for set in motion a plan today to detonate a nuclear weapon in Los Angeles.
Imam Fulani: Are you certain?
Jack Bauer: Yes, we're certain. Our estimates are between one and two million people will die if this bomb goes off. That, sir, is why we need to find him now.

Kalil Hasan: I think someone is anxious that I get to where I'm going.
Omar: What makes you think that?
Kalil Hasan: I just got stopped by two cops who let me go in very little time.
Omar: And?
Kalil Hasan: This is a stolen car.
Omar: Maybe the driver has not reported it yet?
Kalil Hasan: A cop was approaching me with his hand on his gun. He gets a call: suddenly there's no problem.
[Omar grimaces as he realises Kalil is right]

Stephen Saunders: So, Michael... tell me how it went down in Mexico.
[Amador slowly looks at Saunders]
Stephen Saunders: You didn't think I would find out?
Michael Amador: I didn't think you needed to know... as long as you got what you wanted.
Stephen Saunders: You were stupid enough to believe that Jack Bauer had turned against CTU, and now you've got every intelligence agency in the country after you.
Michael Amador: Bauer's story checked out.
Stephen Saunders: Don't presume to tell me about Jack Bauer. What you did in Mexico, it was stupid, it was greedy, and it may have cost me my advantage.
Michael Amador: Alvers and I still expect to be paid.
[Amador connects with the bank via laptop]
Stephen Saunders: The authorization code is 7QV78.
Michael Amador: [Amador enters the code to reveal 10 million dollars in the account] This is only half!
Stephen Saunders: I'll release the balance after I have confirmation on the hotel.
Michael Amador: The deal was we get paid in full!
Stephen Saunders: The deal changed when you went down to Mexico
[pauses]
Stephen Saunders: Now, after you've hit the hotel, you'll get the rest of your money.

Nina Myers: So, Ed, how are ya?
Agent Ed Miller: Don't bother, Nina. I'm here because I have to be, not because I'm your friend.
Nina Myers: Well, you're here because they think after I help stop the bomb, Jack will try to kill me. Which, of course, he will. What if you can't stop him? I mean, no offense, but Ed, let's face it: you're no match for Jack. You're just not that ruthless. So he manages to get around you and pull the trigger. What happens then? Because of the pardon, he knows if he kills me, he'll spend the rest of his life in jail.
Agent Ed Miller: Jack, if you have some way to shut her up I'm not thinkin' of...
Nina Myers: Of course, Jack's mind is thinking, "That's not such a bad deal." Small price to pay to avenge his wife's death. But what about his daughter? Is he thinking about her? She's already lost one parent. If he kills me, she'll have no one. Jack knows I'm right. He should just use me to stop the bomb, and then go home to Kim. She needs you, Jack.

Osterlind: They're grounding flights from LAX.
Stephen Saunders: Did all the couriers get out with their vials?
Osterlind: New York, Washington, San Francisco made it through; they're on their way. I re-routed Las Vegas; our man is driving there now. But we missed Chicago and Cleveland.
Stephen Saunders: Did you revise the casualty projections?
Osterlind: Of course.
[hands him folder]
Osterlind: Here they are.
Stephen Saunders: Just give me the number.
Osterlind: Two to five million dead within the first 48 hours.
Stephen Saunders: [shrugs] Good enough.
