Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : [growing really disgusted with Amador's attitude]  For the last time...

  [picks up some poker chips and throws them] 

  Jack Bauer : ...where is the virus?

  Michael Amador : Go to hell.

  Jack Bauer : [pins Amador's arm down to the table and yells]  Chase!

  Chase : [with one hand he pries Amador's pinned hand open, with the other he uses a knife to slice across Amador's open hand] 

  [Amador passes out] 

  Jack Bauer : When he comes to, you do the same thing to his other hand.

• Ryan Chappelle : What the hell happened?

  Jack Bauer : Nina tried to escape

  Ryan Chappelle : I know she tried to escape: how did she get shot?

  Jack Bauer : She pulled her gun. I pulled mine in self defense

  Ryan Chappelle : Just like that?

  Jack Bauer : [Nods]  just like that

  Ryan Chappelle : Nina was our best chance at locating this virus. She was a material witness in an ongoing investigation

  Jack Bauer : I know exactly what she was

  Ryan Chappelle : Division's going to want me to certify this shooting

  Jack Bauer : Then do it

  Ryan Chappelle : You have to come with me to look at security playback

  Jack Bauer : Fine

• Ryan Chappelle : [after watching surveillance footage of Jack shooting Nina]  she was down when you shot her

  Jack Bauer : She was going for her gun

  Ryan Chappelle : Yeah, that's what you keep telling me

  Jack Bauer : It's the truth

  Ryan Chappelle : You knew where the security camera was: you stood in front of it to obscure any visual record of the shooting

  Jack Bauer : She was going for her gun

  Ryan Chappelle : I wish I could believe that but I don't. For God's sake, there's something called "due process." That's why we've got judges, juries, and laws

  Jack Bauer : Don't you dare talk to me about the law. Nina Meyers killed my wife and they let her go. And she would've killed my daughter if I hadn't gotten there when I did

  Ryan Chappelle : Using drugs to maintain your cover was one thing. I was willing to look the other way but I've got to answer to my bosses about the "questionable" shooting death of a key witness

  Chase : [Interrupting them]  excuse me sir

  Ryan Chappelle : We're in the middle of something here

  Chase : [Sarcastically]  I assume finding the virus is still a priority?

  Ryan Chappelle : What'd you got?

  Chase : We may have Amador. Chloe flagged a Zurich account registered to one of his aliases, someone accessed it locally. We'll have a point of origin any minute now

  Jack Bauer : [to Chase]  get the field teams ready

  Chase : Tony's on it

  Ryan Chappelle : Jack, this isn't resolved yet

  Jack Bauer : We have a live lead Ryan

  Ryan Chappelle : And what do I tell Division? That I let you stay on active duty while you're still a subject of an investigation? It's my ass on the line here too

  Chase : Look, I've been working with Jack all day and what's happened his still operating at a higher level than anyone else in the field, including me

  Ryan Chappelle : I didn't ask for your opinion

  Chase : I'm giving it to you anyway

  Ryan Chappelle : Excuse me?

  Chase : Sir, if this lead turns out to be real, we need Jack on site and believe me you'll want him there

  Ryan Chappelle : [to Jack]  they'll crucify me if I let you back out in the field

  Jack Bauer : [to Chase]  give me a minute

• Jack Bauer : Look, I appreciate what you said to Chappelle earlier

  Chase : I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it

  Jack Bauer : Still

  Chase : Finding the virus is all that matters right now: everything else could wait

  Jack Bauer : Are you going to wait to tell Kim about your daughter?

  Chase : No, we already talked about it

  Jack Bauer : How'd she take it?

  Chase : She's handling it fine

  Jack Bauer : [Doubtfully]  she's handling it fine?

  Chase : Look, it's between Kim and me. If you don't mind, I'd like to keep it that way

  Jack Bauer : [Sternly]  yes I mind, she's my daughter

  Chase : She's a grown woman and we care about each other

• Michael Amador : You betrayed me: you were with CTU all along

  Jack Bauer : That's right, you betrayed me too. I'm just better at it than you

  Michael Amador : It won't matter in the long run. You have no idea what you're up against

  Jack Bauer : Why don't you tell me?

  Michael Amador : He knows who you are

  Jack Bauer : What're you talking about? Who knows who I am?

  Michael Amador : "Don't presume to tell me about Jack Bauer", that's what he said. You go up against him, you're a dead man

  Jack Bauer : All I want to know right now is where the virus is

  Michael Amador : I don't know I've passed it off. Look, you can do what you want to me, I'm not going to tell you anything

  Jack Bauer : [after Amador sighs]  what're you afraid of? Who are you afraid of? We can protect you

  Michael Amador : Can you?

  Jack Bauer : Yes

  Michael Amador : And my family?

  Jack Bauer : [Sternly]  yes

  Michael Amador : You couldn't even protect your own

• Tony Almeida : [Over the phone]  I'll put you on speaker, Ryan's with me

  Jack Bauer : We've got Amador

  Tony Almeida : What about the virus?

  Jack Bauer : We were late. He already passed it on

  Ryan Chappelle : Passed it on to whom?

  Jack Bauer : We haven't been able to find out how yet. Amador's terrified, he doesn't scare easily. He did tell me one thing though: whoever is behind this apparently knows me very well

  Tony Almeida : That's not much to go on even with its true

  Jack Bauer : Yeah, I understand that but we also can't ignore it. I want you to cross check everybody I've worked with over the last five years over both sides of the law, see what names you come up with. Check it against everything we know about the virus

  Tony Almeida : Alright
