Kiefer Sutherland: Jack Bauer

Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : Where are the eleven vials?

  Stephen Saunders : [Referring to his laptop computer]  you're wasting your time, I'm not foolish enough to have that information on there

  Jack Bauer : Where are the vials?

  Stephen Saunders : In the hands of dedicated men: true believers

  Jack Bauer : Believers in what?

  Stephen Saunders : That the greatest threat to world peace comes from this country

  Jack Bauer : There's a hotel not far from here, where eight hundred innocent people are dead or dying because of you, were they a threat to your world peace?

  Stephen Saunders : The United States must be forced to retreat within its own borders. Those people are simply the "casualties" of war

  Jack Bauer : What happened to you?

  Stephen Saunders : I was abandoned by the people I worked for, as you will be someday. My message will be heard in less than one hour

  Jack Bauer : What're you talking about?

  Stephen Saunders : My couriers have been instructed to release the virus and they're in "fail safe" mode where they can't be caught

  Jack Bauer : Tell us where they are, we'll stop them

  Stephen Saunders : That is possible, if only you agree to my terms

  Jack Bauer : What are your terms?

  Stephen Saunders : I have a private jet in Van Nuys Airport, I need to be on it with a Presidential guarantee of safe passage to North Africa

  Jack Bauer : That's not going to happen

  Stephen Saunders : Then hundreds of thousands will die. I know what you're thinking, the Bosnian secret police worked on me for two years and couldn't break me, and do you really think you'll be able to do it in less than an hour? Get me on that plane, you don't have a choice

• Brad Hammond : [Over the phone]  I've been briefed on CTU activity to this point: we're relaying the coordinates of the ten vials to local police, NHS, and MAZMAT across the country. We still can't get a lock on the signal of the eleventh vial

  Jack Bauer : The eleventh vial is in Los Angeles, the courier's name is Arthur Rabens although Saunders believes that might be an alias, there's no predetermined target

  Brad Hammond : You think his telling the truth?

  Jack Bauer : Yeah, right now he thinks we're willing to kill his daughter if he doesn't cooperate but our best bet is to lock onto that signal

  Brad Hammond : I understand everyone in COMM is working on it

  Jack Bauer : I know you took Tony Almeida into custody but now that his wife is safe I think he can be a real asset to us

  Brad Hammond : Sorry, but there's not going to be any "special treatment"

  Jack Bauer : For God's sake, four and a half years ago I was put in the exact same position that Tony's been put in today. Victor Drazen kidnapped my wife and daughter and I went outside CTU to get them back and no one put me in prison

  Brad Hammond : The circumstances were different

  Jack Bauer : And the outcome will be the same: we will prevail

  Brad Hammond : The entire operation was put in risk because of what he did

  Jack Bauer : This operation started a year ago with Gael, Tony, and myself. Gael gave his life, I became an addict to maintain my cover and now you're sending Tony to prison? It's wrong and you know it. You should be putting a medal on him, not handcuffs

  Brad Hammond : [Before hanging up]  you can testify at his hearing, right now we've got work to do
