  Jack Bauer : No.

  Christopher Henderson : [Tries to shoot Jack, but the trigger clicks empty]  Good for you, Jack.

  [pause, untill Jack approaches Henderson] 

  Jack Bauer : You were responsible for the deaths of David Palmer, Tony Almeida, and Michelle Dessler. They were friends of mine.

  [pause] 

  Christopher Henderson : That's the way it works.

  [Jack shoots Henderson dead] 

• Jack Bauer : [Phone Conversation]  Yeah?

  Mike Novick : The President has just notified Secret Service he's going to be delayed.

  Jack Bauer : How long?

  Mike Novick : He didn't say, but Mrs. Logan knows we need as much time as possible. Jack... if Logan doesn't confess... how far are you actually willing to go?

  Jack Bauer : As far as I have to.

• Jack Bauer : [Over a radio beacon]  Petty Officer Rooney, my name is Jack Bauer, I'm with the Counter Terrorist Unit in los Angeles

  Tim Rooney : [while checking on a surveillance monitor]  what the hell is going on sir? Everyone's dead and there are people in the control room trying to operate the missile launch system, who the hell are they?

  Jack Bauer : Their Russian separatists: they are the terrorist group responsible for the attacks that took place earlier today

  Tim Rooney : Does the Navy know about this?

  Jack Bauer : Yeah, their sending in fighters but I don't think they're going to get here in time

  Tim Rooney : So what are we suppose to do?

  Jack Bauer : Did anyone from your crew survive the attack?

  Tim Rooney : No, I don't think so

  Jack Bauer : Where are you?

  Tim Rooney : Lower level: auxiliary engineering. I was down here doing an inventory when the alarm went off, atmospheric gages redlined, it's a sealed compartment, so I shut it down

  Jack Bauer : The men that attacked the sub, were they wearing gas masks?

  Tim Rooney : They were but they took them off a few minutes ago

  Jack Bauer : Ok good. That means they flushed the Sentox nerve gas out of the air system, you should be able to move around freely, do you have a firearm?

  Tim Rooney : No, the armory is on the other side of the sub

  Jack Bauer : You need to find something you can use as a weapon

  Tim Rooney : I have a utility tool: it has a knife on it

  Jack Bauer : That'll work, I want you to make your way up to the upper level, let me know when you get there

  Tim Rooney : You still haven't told me what it is you wanted me to do

  Jack Bauer : I need you to get to the forward escape hatch and let us in

  Tim Rooney : There's a man there guarding it

  Jack Bauer : You're going to have to kill him

  Tim Rooney : [Nervously]  I'm an engineer, I'm not trained for that

  Jack Bauer : The men that commandeered The Natalia plan to use its missiles to launch on civilian targets unless we stop them. You need to make your way up to the upper level, you need to do it now, and we're running out of time

• Jack Bauer : [Over a radio beacon]  what's your position son?

  Tim Rooney : I'm thirty feet from the forward hatch

  Jack Bauer : Have you got a visual of the hostile guarding the hatch?

  Tim Rooney : Yeah, his still there: what'd you need me to do?

  Jack Bauer : You need to kill him without alerting the others, are you right handed or left handed?

  Tim Rooney : I'm right handed

  Jack Bauer : I want you to approach him from behind, when your within eighteen inches, I want you take your left hand, put it on his mouth, pull his head back into your chest, exposing his neck, then I want you to take your right hand and slit his throat

  Tim Rooney : [Nervously]  oh my God

  Jack Bauer : You need to cut deep to severe the vocal cord and the carotid artery

  Tim Rooney : I don't know if I can do this

  Jack Bauer : You don't have a choice son: you need to focus on the "objective." You cannot afford to think about this son, you need to do it

  Tim Rooney : Ok, I can do this. I have to do this

  Jack Bauer : Cut him deep and cut him fast

• Jack Bauer : [Over the cell phone]  I know this is an unusual request but I've been trying to reach Aaron Pierce, I've been trying to reach him on his cell but his not answering

  Mike Novick : [after turning the phone on speaker]  Aaron's here with me right now

  Mike Novick : It's alright Jack, you can speak freely in front of Mike: he knows what I know

  Jack Bauer : Aaron, where are you?

  Aaron Pierce : Few miles from the ranch

  Jack Bauer : What happened?

  Aaron Pierce : The President tried to have me killed but Mrs. Logan saved my life. She and I decided to bring Mike into this

  Mike Novick : I'm still trying to process everything they told me: it's a real mess Jack

  Jack Bauer : Mike, I'm calling Aaron because I need his help, I need yours too

  Mike Novick : Help with what?

  Jack Bauer : Bringing President Logan to justice

  Mike Novick : Aaron said the recording you had implicating the President has been destroyed, is that true?

  Jack Bauer : Yes

  Mike Novick : Without it, you can't mount a case

  Jack Bauer : Not if I can get a direct confession from Logan. I'm working with someone inside CTU, their setting up a digital uplink, if I can get Logan to acknowledge everything that he's done today, it's going to be all the evidence we need

  Mike Novick : Jack, if you intend to physically coerce the President of the United States...

  Jack Bauer : [Interrupts him]  Mike, we need to do this now. The longer we wait, the more vulnerable we are, President Logan tried to take me out, just like he did Aaron. I don't need to remind you that he was responsible for David Palmer's assassination and a terrorist attack on this country's soil. He cannot be allowed to remain in Office, not for one more day

  Mike Novick : How long will it take for you to get here?

  Jack Bauer : Twenty minutes

  Mike Novick : That's too late: President Logan will be gone. His leaving for Washington around that time

  Jack Bauer : You have to try to delay him

  Mike Novick : I'm not sure I can do that

  Jack Bauer : Mike, just tell me you'll try

• Jack Bauer : [Meeting privately]  good to see you, was Mike able to delay the President?

  Aaron Pierce : His trying but he had to ask Mrs. Logan for some help

  Jack Bauer : The First lady knows what we intend to do?

  Aaron Pierce : She does

  Jack Bauer : Can she be trusted?

  Aaron Pierce : She is with us: a hundred percent

  Jack Bauer : Can you still get access to the Secret Service deployment grid?

  Aaron Pierce : I already have, the way security's been "beefed up" around the main building, there's no way you're going to be able to get Logan alone there

  Jack Bauer : Is Marine One going to take him to the airfield?

  Aaron Pierce : No, this was last minute. Their transporting him by a "reduced detachment", their using a Navy helicopter

  Jack Bauer : That's why this has to happen, I need to get on that chopper

  Aaron Pierce : I don't see how that's possible

  Jack Bauer : You get me as close as possible to that chopper and we'll figure it out from there

  Aaron Pierce : Alright, let's go
