Kiefer Sutherland: Jack Bauer

Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : [Rossler has been injured]  My name is Jack Bauer, and I'm with CTU. Twenty-five minutes ago, you contacted a man named Ivan Erwich. What did he want you to do for him?

  Jacob Rossler : I want my lawyer.

  Jack Bauer : You'll get your lawyer as soon as I get what I need. Mr. Erwich is in possession of 20 canisters of Sentox VX nerve gas, which he has threatened to deploy here in the United States.

  Jacob Rossler : I guess you have a problem.

  Jack Bauer : I'd say you have a problem. You've been conspiring with and aiding known terrorists, which means I get to hold you for as long as I want. Now we know Mr. Erwich can't deploy the canisters unless he reconfigured a trigger mechanism; is that what he wanted you to do?

  [Rossler is silent] 

  Jack Bauer : Trust me, you don't wanna go down this path with me.

  Jacob Rossler : [With clenched teeth]  Go to hell.

  Jack Bauer : [Jack hits him in the face]  That's exactly where I'm gonna send you unless you start to cooperate.

  [pause] 

  Jack Bauer : You like hurting girls? Curtis.

  [Curtis steps on Rossler's wound] 

• Walt Cummings : I was approached six months ago by a man named James Nathanson: he was my contact

  Jack Bauer : Who is he?

  Walt Cummings : Former CIA, he said he was recruiting likeminded individuals for this initiative

  President Charles Logan : Initiative? Is that what you call this? You helped terrorists acquire a weaponized nerve gas

  Walt Cummings : I told you: we were going to trigger the canisters once the separatists reached their base in Central Asia, this was not suppose to happen

  President Charles Logan : [Yells]  but it happened, you got in bed with these people now their threatening to use the gas against American citizens

  Walt Cummings : You make it sound like our goal was to kill Americans?

  President Charles Logan : What the hell was your goal? Explain that to me

  Walt Cummings : We're patriots Mr. President, we were acting in the best interest of this country

  President Charles Logan : How is any of this in our best interest?

  Walt Cummings : Throwing up a strategic partner on the war on terror? Ensuring a stable flow of oil? How is any of that not in our national interest?

• Jack Bauer : I need to be debriefed: after that I'm leaving Sir. In the current situation, things have become more complicated. CTU is going to have to be responsible for retrieval of the canisters

  President Charles Logan : Why are you leaving?

  Jack Bauer : Sir, I have a daughter that doesn't know I'm still alive, if I have to disappear again, in all fairness to her, I don't think she should know

  President Charles Logan : Terrorists just threatened to deploy chemical weapons on US soil, they have the ability to kill millions of people

  Jack Bauer : I understand that, I believe CTU can handle this

  President Charles Logan : Your experience can make a crucial difference in stopping them. Look, you and I have a complicated history, I realize that and I'm not naïve enough to expect any special personal allegiance from you but I know your respect for this Office and your service to this country is just as strong when you served under David Palmer. I'm asking for your help, just until this crisis is over, I will reinstate you, I'll give you all the support you need

  Jack Bauer : You and I...

  President Charles Logan : [Interrupts him]  please, for God's sake, we need to recover this nerve gas before it's too late

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  I wanted to tell you myself: the President asked me to stay on until the canisters are retrieved

  Audrey Raines : You know what this means, you'll be exposed. CTU can handle the crisis

  Jack Bauer : The President thinks I could help

  Audrey Raines : You don't owe them this

  Jack Bauer : The reason why I called is because I need to ask you to do me a favor

  Audrey Raines : What?

  Jack Bauer : Kim doesn't know I'm alive yet, I don't want her to find out the wrong way

  Audrey Raines : Do you want me to tell her?

  Jack Bauer : No I just you to call her and bring her into CTU, I'll see her when I get back

  Audrey Raines : Alright

  Jack Bauer : Are you sure you're comfortable doing this for me?

  Audrey Raines : Of course

  Jack Bauer : Thank you

  Audrey Raines : [Before hanging up]  sure

• Jack Bauer : [Yells]  where is Erwich?

  Jacob Rossler : [Listing his demands, as CTU listens in]  I want full immunity unfreezing of all my assets, and transport to a foreign country of my choosing

  Jack Bauer : No

  Jacob Rossler : And Inessa: she comes with me. That's the deal

  Jack Bauer : Maybe I'm not making myself clear, we're not making a deal

  Lynn McGill : [Over the phone]  Jack, its Lynn

  Jack Bauer : Go ahead

  Lynn McGill : We don't have the luxury to engage in brinkmanship

  Jack Bauer : His going to tell us what we want to know

  Lynn McGill : You may be right but we're going to wait around to find out: accept the deal, that's an order

  Jack Bauer : Fine, it's your call

• Jack Bauer : Your agreement is being drawn up: now I want something. Where is Erwich?

  Jacob Rossler : I have no idea, I don't know the man, not even what he looks like. I first spoke with him thirty minutes ago. We were put in contact through a mutual associate in Russia

  Jack Bauer : Who?

  Jacob Rossler : Sergei Ramaninoff. His a commander in the resistance movement

  Jack Bauer : What's Erwich want?

  Jacob Rossler : He wants to reprogram the chip with the trigger, his calling me back with the identification keys

  Jack Bauer : What's your time frame?

  Jacob Rossler : Within the hour

  Jack Bauer : How is he going to receive the package?

  Jacob Rossler : I was going to deliver it: we haven't agreed to a meeting place

  Jack Bauer : I want that chip

  Jacob Rossler : It's in a safe place. Once I see some paperwork, I'll show it to you

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  where are we on Rossler's immunity agreement?

  Bill Buchanan : We have the Attorney General's sanction: you should have the document in a few minutes

  Jack Bauer : Ok good, did we get any information on the girl?

  Bill Buchanan : There isn't much. Inessa Kovalevsky, reported missing nineteen months in Kiev, the assumption is she was kidnapped by traffickers in the sex slave trade, she's fifteen

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  fifteen? Ok, thanks, I'll get back to you

• Inessa Kovalevsky : I want to contact my family, they must be so worried about me

  Jack Bauer : I need to explain something to you first, please sit down

  Jack Bauer : [after she sits and he kneels in front of her]  for now, we need you to go with Mr. Rossler: just for now. Men like me, agents are going to follow you and when we get what we need from Mr. Rossler, their going to move it, and they're going to take you away from him

  Inessa Kovalevsky : [Shakes her head]  you don't know what he does to me when we are alone

  Jack Bauer : I promise you, I won't let him be alone with you

  Inessa Kovalevsky : I don't believe you, I won't do it

  Jack Bauer : [as she stands up]  please

  Inessa Kovalevsky : Let me go

  Jack Bauer : I'm sorry, I can't

  Inessa Kovalevsky : Then you are no different than Rossler

  Jack Bauer : I am not Rossler, I won't let anything happen to you, I promise. We need you to get dressed
