Tzi Ma: Cheng Zhi

Quotes 

• Cheng Zhi : [to Agent Bern while his tied to a chair]  you were a part of the covert team that assaulted our Consulate: an operation that resulted in the death of our Consul. Who led the mission? Who was responsible for what happened?

  Howard Bern : I don't know what you're talking about

  Cheng Zhi : Please, you're wasting time. Give us a statement and we'll release you

  Howard Bern : I'm telling you the truth and you're going to have to release me as soon as CTU realizes what's happening to me

  Cheng Zhi : Actually, no one will ever know because no one will ever tell them

  Howard Bern : What're you talking about?

  Cheng Zhi : The China Queen container ship is at the port of San Diego: if you don't give us our statement, we'll put you on board and you will arrive in eighteen days in the port of Hangzhou then we will transfer you twenty eight hundred miles to the province of Xinjiang, where you will be remanded to the maximum security labor camp on the border with Siberia

  Howard Bern : You wouldn't do that

  Cheng Zhi : Why wouldn't I? We want justice. If you're not going to tell us whose "ultimately" responsible for the situation at the Consulate, that leaves you. Your wife and your two daughters will not be notified, the US government will not be notified, therefore there will be no chance for prisoner exchange. There will be positively no chance of escape for the rest of your life. Decide Mr. Bern, the China Queen is on a tight schedule

  Howard Bern : [Shaking his head]  I don't know

  Cheng Zhi : All we want is a name: a recorded statement naming the person responsible for what happened at the Consulate

  Howard Bern : Then what happens?

  Cheng Zhi : [Before pointing to the door]  you will walk right out of that door

  Howard Bern : No, I meant to him

  Cheng Zhi : As I said, all we want is justice

  Howard Bern : [Nervously]  his name is Jack Bauer
