Randle Mell: Brad Hammond

Quotes 

• 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

• Tony Almeida : [while in an interrogation room]  where's Michelle?

  Brad Hammond : She's here

  Tony Almeida : Can I talk to her please?

  Brad Hammond : First things first: Plachecki is coming over from the Attorney General's office to take your official statement. You're entitled to have a lawyer present

  Tony Almeida : I don't need a lawyer, I did what I did

  Brad Hammond : What you "did" is punishable by the death penalty

  Tony Almeida : Death penalty?

  Brad Hammond : What'd you expect? You committed treason

  Tony Almeida : That was not my intent

  Brad Hammond : You facilitated the escape of a man who's responsible for the death of Ryan Chappelle and almost a thousand civilians who was contemplating killing millions of others then you tried to "neutralize" the only leverage we had by giving back his daughter

  Tony Almeida : [Slightly nods]  so what's the bottom line?

  Brad Hammond : I will testify to the fact that your service record is long and for the most part distinguished with luck, the best you can hope for is twenty years

• Michelle Dessler : I just tried to see Tony, security says you're denying me access?

  Brad Hammond : His a prisoner

  Michelle Dessler : I'm his wife: he did what he did to save my life

  Brad Hammond : I'm aware of that and because of that his being charged with treason

  Michelle Dessler : Treason? I know he broke protocol by taking Jane Saunders out of CTU but he would have never given her up and because of him we have Saunders

  Brad Hammond : We had Saunders two hours ago and Tony let him escape

  Brad Hammond : [after she remains silent]  no one told you? We had Saunders trapped in a building downtown and we were ready to "drop the net." Tony pulled units out of position so Saunders could get away

  Michelle Dessler : That's an impossible choice

  Brad Hammond : No, it wasn't. Tony has a sworn duty to protect the people of this country, putting your life first was treasonous and his going to prison for it. I want you to put yourself in his place. If you would've made the same call, you'd resign right now
