Mykelti Williamson: Brian Hastings

Quotes 

• Brian Hastings : [while in his office]  Forensics confirmed the composition of the radioactive material: it's a U235, ninety four percent pure weapons grade uranium, if you have an explanation sir? I'm eager to hear it

  President Omar Hassan : Before we started the peace initiative, my country was to developing a nuclear weapon

  Brian Hastings : Yes, our intelligence was aware of that

  President Omar Hassan : Then were you also aware we could not enrich enough material to arm it?

  President Omar Hassan : [after Hastings nods]  Soon after our countries began negotiating a peace process, my brother came up to me and said someone approached him with weapons grade uranium

  Brian Hastings : Who?

  President Omar Hassan : Someone who had access to decommissioned stockpiles

  Brian Hastings : You think it was the same Russians who tried to kill you today?

  President Omar Hassan : Yes I do, I told my brother to stay away from them but obviously he had other plans

  Brian Hastings : The nuclear material you were offered, do you have any idea where it is?

  President Omar Hassan : That man was contaminated recently, doesn't that mean the materials are here in the US? Farhad always used to tell me our country would always be at the mercy of the west unless we become a nuclear power: we must find the Russians before they can get the uranium to my brother

  Brian Hastings : We'll do what we have to sir

  President Omar Hassan : I'll notify our security forces to cooperate fully

• Brian Hastings : [Talking privately, referring to working undercover in the Russian mafia]  I wouldn't be asking if it weren't important but yes I want you to go back in

  Renee Walker : And this isn't seem the least... bit I don't know "ironic" to you?

  Brian Hastings : I know you left the FBI under "difficult circumstances"

  Renee Walker : "Difficult" doesn't even begin to describe it

  Brian Hastings : I can get you your badge back

  Renee Walker : I laid down my badge. I took it from my pocket and laid it down so why would you possibly think I would want it back?

  Brian Hastings : Well, what do you want?

  Renee Walker : What do I want? Nothing: you have weapons grade uranium in the hands of the Russian OC. I can do something about that so I'll go back in but not for a badge

  Brian Hastings : [Before leaving]  thank you, we'll brief in ten minutes

• Brian Hastings : [after Jack asks Dana, Cole, and Chloe to leave the room]  so, what's going on Jack?

  Jack Bauer : Agent Walker hasn't been undercover for over six years, I think your making a mistake by putting her in

  Renee Walker : Why don't you tell him what's really on your mind?

  Jack Bauer : I'll tell him exactly what I told you

  Jack Bauer : [to Hastings, referring to Renee]  I'm concerned about her and this operation

  Brian Hastings : What does that mean?

  Jack Bauer : She's not ready for this: you must have other options

  Renee Walker : Mr. Hastings, no one else knows these Russians, no one else could get you as close, and unfortunately I'm your only choice

  Brian Hastings : I appreciate your concern Jack but she's right: she's our only way in

  Jack Bauer : Fine, then I want to go with her. I assume your plan is trying to set up a competing buy? I'll act as the buyer

  Jack Bauer : That won't be necessary, Agent Ortiz has already agreed

  Jack Bauer : He doesn't have the experience

  Renee Walker : Then this is how he gets it

  Jack Bauer : [Raises his voice to Renee]  not with nuclear weapons on the line

  Jack Bauer : [to Hastings]  I am officially requesting you send me in with Agent Walker

  Brian Hastings : Jack, if you're willing to do this, I'd be foolish to object. We'll work up a cover for you
