Kiefer Sutherland: Jack Bauer

Quotes 

• Mike Doyle : [Doyle is about to take Jack into custody without Jack's knowledge]  CTU wants us to take 70 instead.

  Jack Bauer : Fine.

  [Pulls a gun and aims it to Doyle's head] 

  Jack Bauer : Don't you move.

  Mike Doyle : Jack, what's the problem?

  Jack Bauer : Earlier today, I shot my old partner, a friend of mine, because he tried to stop me from doing what I had to do. Don't think for a second I won't do that to you. Slowly, I want you to pull over, now.

• Jack Bauer : Audrey Raines was willing to give her own life to save mine. I cannot and will not do anything less for her.

  President Wayne Palmer : You're asking me to sign off on a probable suicide mission!

  Jack Bauer : With all due respect, Mr. President, sixteen hours ago your people were willing to hand me over for dead, and I did not hesitate.

  [pause] 

  Jack Bauer : Mr. President, you owe me.

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  let me speak to Audrey

  Cheng Zhi : You've already spoken to her

  Jack Bauer : I want to make sure she's alright

  Cheng Zhi : Her well being is entirely up to you: everyone has given up on you, except for Ms. Raines. Over the objections of your government, her family, her friends, she came to Beijing just to find you. Since you've proved to be an "uncooperative" prisoner, we felt she would be an asset we can exploit "one day" and that "day" is here

  Jack Bauer : I'll hand myself over to you, tell me where?

  Cheng Zhi : A man who won't break is of no use to us but the Russian suitcase nukes you've captured

  Jack Bauer : Why? Your country has the technology to build those weapons

  Cheng Zhi : It's not the weapons themselves that we are interested in: what we want is the component from the triggering mechanism, it contains prototype algorithm old enough to be free any modern decryption safeguards. With it, we will have access to virtually all Russian defense technology. It's a "simple" exchange: you give me the component, I give you Audrey. If you refuse, I kill her

  Jack Bauer : The Russians will know we supplied you with the algorithm, you would be starting World War 3

  Cheng Zhi : I suggest we leave that to the diplomats to sort out

  Jack Bauer : Even I wanted to, the bombs are under military control, I couldn't get anywhere near them

  Cheng Zhi : You'll find a way

  Jack Bauer : If I'm going to agree to this, I want to talk to Audrey now

  Cheng Zhi : Very well

  Cheng Zhi : [to Audrey while handing her his phone, referring to Jack]  speak to him

  Audrey Raines : Jack?

  Jack Bauer : Audrey, are you alright? Did they hurt you?

  Audrey Raines : No, I'm sorry

  Jack Bauer : You have nothing to be sorry for: the only thing important is that you're alive. I know what their asking for, I can handle it, I promise I'm going to get you out of there

  Cheng Zhi : [after grabbing the phone away from her]  you have one hour to call this number when you are ready to make the exchange

  Jack Bauer : [Before Cheng hangs up on him]  an hour is not going to give me enough time...

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  hey, it's me

  Chloe O'Brian : You did it

  Jack Bauer : I need you to listen to me, I need your help

  Chloe O'Brian : Can't it wait? We're just transferring the bombs and doing clean up

  Jack Bauer : No it can't

  Chloe O'Brian : What is it?

  Jack Bauer : Audrey's still alive

  Chloe O'Brian : No, she's not

  Jack Bauer : Yes she is, I just talked to her: the Chinese faked her car accident, they've been holding her prisoner since she traveled to Beijing to try to find me

  Chloe O'Brian : My God. We have to tell Mr. Buchanan

  Jack Bauer : He'll never go along with it

  Chloe O'Brian : "Go along" with what?

  Jack Bauer : The Chinese want to exchange Audrey for one of the F-B sub circuit boards from one of the nukes: it'll give them access to complete Russian technology. I want you to help me retrieve one of those circuit boards

  Chloe O'Brian : We both know if I do this, it'll create an international "situation", big time

  Jack Bauer : I know, I promise, I will do whatever I have to do to stop the Chinese from getting that circuit board but right now I need you to get me the schematics for those bombs

  Chloe O'Brian : Those files aren't in my system. They were reclassified when DOD took possession of the suitcase nuke you disarmed

  Jack Bauer : Then you're going to have to figure out a way to get them because without the schematics, I won't know what I'm looking for

  Chloe O'Brian : Yes, I understand but I don't know how I'm going to do this

  Jack Bauer : Audrey's life is at stake: think

  Chloe O'Brian : Wait, Morris, he had to file a report with DOD, on the work he did with the nukes, it contained a "revised" schematic. it might still be in his hard drive

  Jack Bauer : Can you access it?

  Chloe O'Brian : Only directly from his terminal

  Jack Bauer : Please, do it

  Chloe O'Brian : Where do you want me to send it?

  Jack Bauer : To the cell phone I'm calling from: use a secure line ALPHA 539

  Chloe O'Brian : [while using Morris' computer]  it's here, the file's coming up, sending it you to your screen, stand by

• President Wayne Palmer : [Over the phone]  is everything still alright?

  Jack Bauer : Yes Sir, the bombs are secure but I'm calling because I want you to authorize a field "operation"

  President Wayne Palmer : For what purpose?

  Jack Bauer : To save Audrey Raines

  President Wayne Palmer : What?

  Jack Bauer : She's still alive: the Chinese have been holding her for the past few months. Now they're using her as a "bargaining chip"

  President Wayne Palmer : In exchange for what?

  Jack Bauer : For an FB sub circuit board from one of the nukes. They said they'll release Audrey unharmed if I bring it to them

  President Wayne Palmer : It's my understanding that component holds the key to Russian defense codes

• Mike Doyle : [Before uncuffing Jack]  get over here

  Jack Bauer : What'd he say?

  Mike Doyle : Buchanan said the President "signed off" on this and to give you whatever "help" you need

  Jack Bauer : I'm going to need someone to help me with Audrey's extraction during the exchange. I want that to be you

  Mike Doyle : Fine, where are you going to be?

  Jack Bauer : The name of the Chinese agent that was holding Audrey is Cheng Zhi, he was responsible for my interrogation and torture for almost two years in a Chinese prison. As soon as I get the signal from you that Audrey's safe two things are going to happen: I'm going to destroy that circuit board and Cheng Zhi isn't going to make it out of there alive. To answer your question where am I going to be? Wherever I have to. Let's go
