Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : Do you understand the difference between dying for something and dying for nothing? Today I can die for something. My way. My choice

• Bill Buchanan : [having not spoken for two years, Jack struggles to talk clearly]  I can't hear you, Jack.

  Jack Bauer : [rasping]  Audrey?

  Bill Buchanan : Audrey doesn't know you're back.

  Jack Bauer : My daughter?

  Bill Buchanan : Kim doesn't know, either.

  Jack Bauer : You keep it that way.

• [at about 6:30am] 

  Jack Bauer : [to Bill Buchanan]  Do you know the difference between dying for nothing and dying for something. That's why I'm still alive. That's the only reason why I managed to stay alive in China, so I wouldn't die for nothing. Today, I can die for something.

  [about 20-25 minutes later, around 6:55am; Jack Bauer is being tortured very badly] 

  Abu Fayed : [while torturing Jack Bauer]  Funny you should mention Assad. Assad's been talking about renouncing violence and negotiating.

  Abu Fayed : [prepares to jam a sharp metal rod in Jack's back]  Assad is a traitor to the cause. And soon he will be dead. That's right, Jack. CTU is about to kill the wrong man. Assad isn't behind these attacks. He's come here to stop them. He's come here to stop... me.

  Abu Fayed : [jams the metal rod into Jack's back] 

  Jack Bauer : [gasping in beaut pain] 

  Abu Fayed : [pulls the rod out after a few seconds and drops it on the floor and finishes with]  You will die for nothing.

• Bill Buchanan : President Palmer wants to speak to you himself: as soon as we debrief

  Bill Buchanan : [after Jack doesn't respond]  I'm sorry Jack, how could you know? Wayne Palmer is President. He's the one who negotiated your release. I can't even to begin to imagine what you went through over there. Last eleven weeks, our cities have been targeted by a series of terror attacks. Buses, trains, shopping malls, the last one was fifteen minutes ago here in Los Angeles

  Bill Buchanan : [Shows Jack a photo]  it's Hamri Al-Assad. Four days ago, one of Assad's men contacted us, he said he would give up Assad for twenty five million dollars. But his demanding something more than money: he wants you, he wants you dead

  Bill Buchanan : [Shows Jack another photo]  it's Abu Fayed. He wants his "pound of flesh" for what happened in Beirut. We offered him other alternatives, we did everything we could think of but he only agreed to give us Assad in exchange for you

  Curtis Manning : His demanded our surveillance protocols, which means we can't risk an extraction. Once he has you, you'll be on your own

  Bill Buchanan : Do you understands what this means? We're asking you to sacrifice yourself so we can eliminate Assad

  Jack Bauer : I know what's being asked of me Curtis, you don't need your firearm. Before we do this, I would like to clean up

  Curtis Manning : We've got an area set up for, and provided you with some new clothes

• President Wayne Palmer : [Over the phone]  I've been trying to think of what I could possibly say to you: after all you've sacrificed for this country. What you've done for me in the past of course, what you've done for my brother David. This is a desperate measure and believe me I know, it's also a "measure" of our desperation. People are afraid to come outside, their afraid to leave their homes, their actually starting to turn against each other out there

  Jack Bauer : Bill Buchanan explained the situation Sir, I know what's happening. I understand what's expected of me

  President Wayne Palmer : You have my word: my word, your sacrifice will not be in vain

  Jack Bauer : Thank you

  President Wayne Palmer : God bless you

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  good bye Mr. President
