Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : All I'm saying is that it is possible that someone broke into the apartment and used her computer to steal the documents. All you need to do is send a couple of agents to check it out.

  Brian Hastings : I'm sorry, I just don't see it. And I can't waste valuable resources because Chloe O'Brian has a theory.

  Jack Bauer : Chloe and I have worked together for a long time. And trust me, she's someone you might want to listen to. She's very good at what she does. And if she's right, the assassin's got you looking in the wrong place, and you will get bit.

• Jack Bauer : [at CTU]  I hate this place.

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  Victor Aruz told me right before he died that the assassin is someone working very close to President Hassan

  Brian Hastings : Did you get a name?

  Jack Bauer : No, not before he died

  Brian Hastings : You believe him?

  Jack Bauer : Normally, I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him but he was dying sir: he had no reason to lie

  Brian Hastings : Alright, we're on it. I need you and Cole back here to debrief

  Jack Bauer : I already gave one of your agents my statement

  Brian Hastings : [Insistently]  I need you back here

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  fine, we're on our way

• Jack Bauer : [Talking privately]  Meredith Reed might be telling you the truth

  Brian Hastings : Is this coming from O'Brian? I told her to drop this

  Jack Bauer : Yeah, well she didn't

  Jack Bauer : [Shows him a photo]  she found this: they were taken traffic cams near Ms. Reed's apartment. Check the time stamps, it shows this man entering the building through the service entrance almost five minutes before the intrusion into the UN servers: it shows him leaving the building almost immediately after

  Brian Hastings : So?

  Jack Bauer : Chloe talked to the building manager: there's no scheduled maintenance today, no packages delivered

  Brian Hastings : And this is your "evidence"? I'm looking at an apartment where dozens of people live coming and going all day long

  Jack Bauer : Look, I understand, all I'm saying is that it is possible that someone broke into the apartment and used her computer to steal the documents. All you need to do is send a couple of agents to check it out

  Brian Hastings : I'm sorry, I just don't see it. And I can't waste valuable resources because Chloe O'Brian has a theory

  Jack Bauer : Chloe and I have worked together for a long time. And trust me, she's someone you might want to listen to. She's very good at what she does. And if she's right, the assassin's got you looking in the wrong place, and you will get bit

  Brian Hastings : I have a "suspect in hand" But the file she had is "damning" enough to encrypt, that's what I'm going to focus my resources on now if you will excuse me

• Jack Bauer : [Talking privately]  what's wrong?

  Kim Bauer : I spoke to Chloe: she told me what's happening

  Jack Bauer : Chloe called you?

  Kim Bauer : No, I called her because you wouldn't tell me what was going on. So I decided to find out for myself, I know about the threat to the peace conference and CTU might have the wrong suspect is what's happening

  Jack Bauer : Chloe had me make her case to the head of CTU: he wasn't convinced. He thinks his got the right person

  Kim Bauer : But what if he's wrong? And there's someone inside the UN working with this assassin?

  Jack Bauer : That's what Chloe thinks

  Kim Bauer : What do you think?

  Jack Bauer : I think it's not my problem

  Kim Bauer : [Turns around to walk away]  dad

  Jack Bauer : [Turns back to face her]  what?

  Kim Bauer : I don't believe you, I've never known you to walk away from something like this. if you have to stay, it's alright, you're not letting me down, I understand

  Jack Bauer : Sweetheart, I want to go with you

  Kim Bauer : I know you do and there's nothing I want more is for you to come with us. I've been waiting so long for this day: we both have but if something terrible will happen and if you could've done something to stop it, I don't think you'd be able to live with yourself

  Kim Bauer : [When he doesn't say anything]  dad, it's ok, you can go

  Jack Bauer : [after thinking it over]  as soon I'm finished here I will get on a plane and be in Los Angeles, I promise

  Kim Bauer : [Nods]  just be careful please

  Jack Bauer : [Before hugging]  come here

• Brian Hastings : I told you to leave this alone

  Jack Bauer : Chloe tracked the man in the surveillance photo to a second location: we didn't think you'd follow through with an investigation

  Brian Hastings : So you had no choice but to steal weapons from the armory?

  Jack Bauer : Would you have followed through with an investigation if I had asked?

  Brian Hastings : I'm not debating this anymore

  Jack Bauer : You shutdown a lead before you can access whether it was good or bad

  Brian Hastings : [to Cole, referring to Jack]  take him to detention

  Brian Hastings : [Raises his voice]  take him

  Cole Ortiz : [to Jack]  let's go

  Jack Bauer : [to Hastings]  I'm sure President Taylor will be very interested to find out what happened to my informant when I tried to deliver him to you

  Brian Hastings : Excuse me?

  Jack Bauer : Cole tried to secure that landing zone with more men but instead you sent a drone which failed to protect my informant and two of your men. Cole hasn't said anything about it and neither will I as long as you let me pursue this

  Brian Hastings : So now you're blackmailing me?

  Jack Bauer : You "forced my hand", now I'm "forcing yours"

  Brian Hastings : You don't want to be doing this Bauer

  Jack Bauer : No, I don't, I want to be on a plane to Los Angeles with my family but you're not giving me another choice

  Brian Hastings : You want to waste time chasing ghosts? Knock yourself out. I've got to stop an assassination plot

  Brian Hastings : [to Cole, referring to Jack]  give him the bag

  Jack Bauer : [to Hastings]  I need Chloe to run Ops

  Brian Hastings : Fine, she's all yours

• Jack Bauer : [Debriefing him in her office]  I'm sorry but we've got to do this kind of quick

  Chloe O'Brian : I guess you heard about the reporter they arrested?

  Jack Bauer : Yeah

  Chloe O'Brian : Well, I think they might have the wrong person: Meredith Reed could be innocent

  Jack Bauer : Hastings said they found evidence on her computer

  Chloe O'Brian : I know but I think those files may have been "planted"

  Chloe O'Brian : [Shows him photos]  look, I've been scanning through traffic cam footage from outside Meredith Reed's apartment building. Five minutes before the intrusion into the UN server, this man was going into the service entrance of the building, ten minutes later, he left. What if he went through her apartment and used her laptop to break into the servers?

  Jack Bauer : Sounds a little "thin"

  Jack Bauer : [Confused]  why are you showing me this? Why don't you just take it to Hastings?

  Chloe O'Brian : Hastings doesn't think know what I'm doing: he won't listen to me. He "might" listen to you

  Jack Bauer : I'm here for my debrief, Kim's on her way, I'm leaving on a plane to Los Angeles with my family in an hour

  Chloe O'Brian : I'm just asking you to talk to him: it'll take ten minutes. If the assassin framed reed to create a diversion that means we have the wrong person in custody that he still has someone inside Hassan's delegation

  Jack Bauer : I'm sorry, it's not my problem. Please let's just continue with the debrief
