Graham McTavish: Mikhail Novakovich

Quotes 

• Mikhail Novakovich : [Over the phone]  yes?

  Pavel Tokarev : Samir's men are all dead: thanks to the Americans. Samir was the only one left but I took care of him

  Mikhail Novakovich : So there's no connection to us? We're in the clear?

  Pavel Tokarev : Maybe not. There was a woman there who might've recognized me

  Mikhail Novakovich : What woman?

  Pavel Tokarev : She may be CTU, I'm not sure... but I've seen her face before

  Mikhail Novakovich : Where?

  Pavel Tokarev : Six years ago when we were using that mobster Vladimir Laitanan to smuggle military weapons out of the country: she was with him

  Mikhail Novakovich : Are you sure it was her?

  Pavel Tokarev : I don't forget faces

  Mikhail Novakovich : Where is she now?

  Pavel Tokarev : In a taxi cab, just ahead of me with Jack Bauer

  Mikhail Novakovich : Bauer? Are they going to CTU?

  Pavel Tokarev : I don't think so, no

  Mikhail Novakovich : Then it seems unlikely she recognized you

  Pavel Tokarev : Better to not take the chance, I'll take out Bauer too while I'm at it

  Mikhail Novakovich : The Americans believe the IRK are solely behind the recent attacks: killing Bauer and this woman would only alert them to the fact that others were involved. How long before they discover it was us?

  Pavel Tokarev : It will take even less time if this woman remembers me, what are my orders?

  Mikhail Novakovich : [Before hanging up]  continue to follow them, keep them in sight and I'll get back to you

• Mikhail Novakovich : [while shaking hands]  thank for seeing me

  President Allison Taylor : Not at all, what can I do for you?

  Mikhail Novakovich : I just had a "curious" phone call from Tim Woods indicating that you intend to move forward with the peace imitative with the IRK

  President Allison Taylor : That's correct

  Mikhail Novakovich : May I ask how you propose to do this? Considering their leader is dead?

  President Allison Taylor : Well, I "intended" to answer that question during my address to the Assembly but since you're asking, Dalia Hassan will be signing the agreement in her husband's stead

  Mikhail Novakovich : That's an "interesting idea" but I don't see how she would have the authority to sign such a document

  President Allison Taylor : She's getting it from her government now: their Parliament called for an emergency session to ratify her as Provisional President. The letter confirming that is "forthcoming"

  Mikhail Novakovich : [Sternly]  I appreciate your optimism but I don't understand how you can believe installing Hassan's widow as some kind of "figurehead" will "alleviate" our concerns about the instability of the IRK government. With President Hassan dead, the opposition will only get stronger

  President Allison Taylor : Hassan's death will galvanize his supporters and every avenue of this peace process to endorse her as his successor

  Mikhail Novakovich : You can't be certain of that

  President Allison Taylor : Once again, you're giving every indication that Russia has no interest in this peace accord

  Mikhail Novakovich : I'm sorry you feel that way but the fact remains that we are no longer "confident" that any "meaningful progress" could be made. Respectfully, my country will be declining to sign your peace document, excuse me

  President Allison Taylor : Do I need to take this up with President Suvarov myself?

  Mikhail Novakovich : [Before leaving]  if you like but I can assure you I have full authority on this matter: any decision that I make, represents the formal position of my government... good day
