Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : You took voice samples from three leaders of three Middle Eastern countries and intercut them Syed Ali's voice to create the Cypress audio

  Alex Hewitt : I didn't say that

  Jack Bauer : Peter Kingsley paid you for it

  Alex Hewitt : No

  Jack Bauer : You are a traitor to your own country: do you know what they're going to do to you?

  Alex Hewitt : I'm not. I didn't know, I swear. I already told this to Mrs. Palmer, get her in here she'll tell you

  Jack Bauer : Forget about her she's not going to help you. If you tell me everything I need to know about the Cypress audio, I will do everything I can

  Alex Hewitt : I won't say anything until I see my lawyer

  Jack Bauer : I am your lawyer, son. Those people you were working for, they thought you were going to die in the bomb blast, they're going to keep coming after you. So if you want to stay alive, you better start telling me everything I need to know

  Alex Hewitt : No, I'll only talk to Mrs. Palmer

  Jack Bauer : Why her? How is she connected to this? How do you know her?

  Alex Hewitt : I just met her today, she called and said she could help me. Look, I know who she is, she's the President's ex-wife, and she's got connections high up

  Jack Bauer : She can't help you now. I'm the only one who can help you

  Alex Hewitt : I want to talk to her

  Jack Bauer : Ok, let me see what I can do

• Sherry Palmer : I know. I understand your concern but the fact remains, we both made a mistake but we're lucky because they need us. Any deal I make will include you and vice versa remember? We're in this together

  Alex Hewitt : Are you sure about this?

  Sherry Palmer : Honey, I would never lie to you but you have to remember this one thing: I am the only one looking after your interests. No one else, I know how these work just do as I say and it'll all turn out well

  Alex Hewitt : [Referring to Jack standing nearby]  what about him?

  Sherry Palmer : Don't worry about him, I'll handle agent Bauer. It won't be a problem, his very low on the "food chain"

  Alex Hewitt : So if I do this, you can keep me out of jail?

  Sherry Palmer : Absolutely, you'll be granted full immunity just like I promised

• Jack Bauer : What're you doing?

  Alex Hewitt : [while typing on his computer]  they took the disk that had my filter: I'll need to rebuild that file straight to process. Ok it'll have to be decompressed, it will take about twenty minutes

  Jack Bauer : How's it going to work?

  Alex Hewitt : I'm going to make a recording for them right on the spot. Shift it around, reframe segments, they'll have the same specs as Cypress, it'll blow their minds

  Jack Bauer : [Pats him on the shoulder]  good

  Alex Hewitt : [Referring to Sherry Palmer]  then I'm free to go right? That's what she said

  Jack Bauer : Yes, you'll be fine

  Alex Hewitt : How come you're being so nice to me all of a sudden?

  Jack Bauer : What'd you mean?

  Alex Hewitt : Ten minutes ago it was all my fault, you called me a traitor, and now it's "fine Alex"

  Alex Hewitt : [after noticing Jack and Sherry glance at each other]  you guys are going to screw me aren't you?

  Jack Bauer : We're not going to screw you

  Alex Hewitt : Yes you are. The minute after you made a deal you're going to "hang me out"

  Jack Bauer : Calm down, we can't "hang you out", without you there's no proof

  Alex Hewitt : Fine, then I want it in writing. Why won't you let me have an attorney?

  Jack Bauer : Because we don't have time, right now there's bombers in the air. You're going to have to trust me on this

  Alex Hewitt : Why? Why should I trust you?

  Sherry Palmer : Maybe his right, why don't you have federal counsel to meet us wherever we're going?

  Jack Bauer : Excuse me?

  Sherry Palmer : It's just one phone call

  Alex Hewitt : [Nervously]  that's right, we want federal counsel

  Jack Bauer : No, I'm not trading with you. You're going to do your demonstration then I help you, that's the deal. That's it

  Alex Hewitt : [to Sherry, referring to Jack]  I want to talk to him in private

  Sherry Palmer : I told you I handled everything

  Alex Hewitt : Then what're you afraid of? He said I was the only one who can make this happen. I want to talk to him alone

  Sherry Palmer : Ok, alright, whatever you want. I'll be over here

  Jack Bauer : What's going on?

  Alex Hewitt : Is she trying to screw me or not?

  Jack Bauer : No, she's trying to help you

  Alex Hewitt : Why? I mean she doesn't even know me

  Jack Bauer : Maybe she thinks you were "tricked" into something you didn't fully understand. She wants to use her influence with the President to try and help you

  Alex Hewitt : Because she thinks I'm innocent?

  Jack Bauer : Yeah, maybe

  Alex Hewitt : I think she likes me

  Jack Bauer : [Smiles]  I think she does
