- Jack Bauer: With all due respect Mr. President, it was YOUR State Department that labeled me a terrorist and made me a wanted man. A man who was never even offered an opportunity to tell his side of the story, which by the way sir, I felt I had EARNED. So no, sir. I did not feel comfortable going to TALK to you people. I knew I either had to arrive with the device or evidence that the device existed. That would be the only way they'd believe me... the only way YOU would believe me.
- President James Heller: I'm told you just shot two people out in front of the embassy.
- Jack Bauer: I barely grazed them, sir.
- President James Heller: How do you know that?
- Jack Bauer: Because I pulled the trigger.
- Kate Morgan: But you do have another option. You can give me the flight key, and I can finish the upload for you and get it out of here.
- Jack Bauer: Why the hell should I trust you?
- Kate Morgan: Because I really do believe you. And 'cause you don't have another play.
- Belcheck: How will you get Jack out of there?
- Chloe O'Brian: I'm in the embassy's security camera system, I've got a building schematic. I'm gonna talk him out.
- Belcheck: That building is full of U.S. Marines.
- Chloe O'Brian: I didn't say it was gonna be easy, but I'm gonna do everything I can. I owe Jack. I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for him.
- Belcheck: Then we have that in common.
- Jack Bauer: I know your drone was hijacked.
- Chris Tanner: You know I'm innocent?
- Jack Bauer: Yes, I do. The technology that was used to control your drone is gonna be used in a massive terrorist attack against civilians later today. The only way that I can stop that attack from happening is from the data from your flight key. Lieutenant, please, where are they holding it?
- Chris Tanner: Wait, how do I know whether or not to believe you?
- Jack Bauer: Son, right now the point is that I believe you. From everything that I can see, no one else does. You want your name cleared? I'm your only shot.
- President James Heller: Jack? It's me.
- Jack Bauer: Mr. President.
- President James Heller: Be honest with you, Jack, I never thought I'd have to hear your voice again. I liked it that way.
- Jack Bauer: Mr. President, I'm here because I believe the U.S. drone fleet is vulnerable and will be used in a terrorist attack later today.
- President James Heller: Explain that, Jack.
- Jack Bauer: A hacker by the name of Derrick Yates created an override device, which can take control of as many as ten U.S. drones. I believe he's the one who hijacked Lieutenant Tanner's drone and used it as a test flight to prove to his buyers that the device worked. Shortly after that, I found him murdered. Now I believe that the device is in the hands of Margot Al-Harazi, a known terrorist. Mr. President, I promise you, she will use this device without mercy.
- Jack Bauer: Sir, whatever differences we had, I never lied to you. I always told you the truth, and I'm telling you the truth now, and I suggest you believe it.
- Jack Bauer: This is Jack Bauer. Who am I talking to?
- Kevin Cordero: My name is Captain Kevin Cordero. Mr. Bauer, I'm sure we'd both like to find a way to end this situation without loss of life, yours or the hostages'. Now, I'd like us to work together...
- Jack Bauer: Captain, the situation is simple: I have three hostages. Keep your men back and no one gets harmed. Make a move on this room, and I kill all three of them. Are we clear?
- Kevin Cordero: Loud and clear.
- [hanging up]
- Kevin Cordero: We go in. I'm not giving that son of a bitch a chance to fire on my men again.
- Jack Bauer: [inside the room, his hostages cower in fear] I need them to take me seriously. I have no intention of hurting any of you.
