Stephen Saunders
- Jack Bauer: Where are the eleven vials?
- Stephen Saunders: [Referring to his laptop computer] you're wasting your time, I'm not foolish enough to have that information on there
- Jack Bauer: Where are the vials?
- Stephen Saunders: In the hands of dedicated men: true believers
- Jack Bauer: Believers in what?
- Stephen Saunders: That the greatest threat to world peace comes from this country
- Jack Bauer: There's a hotel not far from here, where eight hundred innocent people are dead or dying because of you, were they a threat to your world peace?
- Stephen Saunders: The United States must be forced to retreat within its own borders. Those people are simply the "casualties" of war
- Jack Bauer: What happened to you?
- Stephen Saunders: I was abandoned by the people I worked for, as you will be someday. My message will be heard in less than one hour
- Jack Bauer: What're you talking about?
- Stephen Saunders: My couriers have been instructed to release the virus and they're in "fail safe" mode where they can't be caught
- Jack Bauer: Tell us where they are, we'll stop them
- Stephen Saunders: That is possible, if only you agree to my terms
- Jack Bauer: What are your terms?
- Stephen Saunders: I have a private jet in Van Nuys Airport, I need to be on it with a Presidential guarantee of safe passage to North Africa
- Jack Bauer: That's not going to happen
- Stephen Saunders: Then hundreds of thousands will die. I know what you're thinking, the Bosnian secret police worked on me for two years and couldn't break me, and do you really think you'll be able to do it in less than an hour? Get me on that plane, you don't have a choice
- Jane Saunders: I know what's going to happen and I know you can stop it: please
- Stephen Saunders: Why are they using you to manipulate me?
- Jane Saunders: Despite everything that's happened, I love you and I'm asking you please don't let this happen. This doesn't make any sense
- Stephen Saunders: It doesn't make sense to you because you haven't seen what I've seen. You don't understand
- Jane Saunders: I know you think what happened to you is the government's fault and maybe it is but the people that are going to die are innocent
- Stephen Saunders: That is a tragedy but that has to happen for things to change and they must change
- Jane Saunders: How can you do something like this?
- Stephen Saunders: I'm doing it for your sake
- Jane Saunders: For my sake?
- Stephen Saunders: For you and your children and after it's all over the world will be a better place
- Jane Saunders: [Holds his hands] please dad? Don't do this
- Stephen Saunders: I don't expect you to understand now but one day you will and you'll look back and thank me for what I've done
- Jane Saunders: [Immediately walks away] oh my God
