Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : A year and a half ago, I was warned that my life was in danger by someone within the government. I was told the only way I could stay alive was to create the illusion that I was dead. I was forced to deceive people that I loved. My only daughter will never forgive me. As I see the depth of your corruption unfold, I have no doubt that you are that source of danger. David Palmer was a great man, and he was a great President. He was also my friend. He tried to warn me about you and now he is dead. Other people tried to help me, and they are dead, too. So Mr. Logan, I hope you understand... I have absolutely nothing to lose. You are going to be held accountable for your part of everything that happened today. You will not be able to hide behind the Presidency - right here, right now, you are going to face justice! And make no mistake about this, this is personal. And if you think for a second that I am scared to put a bullet in your brain, you don't know me. I am going to ask you one last time. Who are your co-conspirators? You have until the count of three, or I will kill you.

• Jack Bauer : [Jack is dressed as a co-pilot and holds the "Marine 1" pilot at gunpoint]  Captain... I can fly this thing if i have to, which leaves you with one of two choices; you either do as i say and you live, or you don't and you die for nothing, do you understand me?

• Cheng Zhi : [Holding Jack hostage]  You surely must be aware, Mr. Bauer, that China has a long memory. Only eighteen months ago, you invaded our territory and killed our consul.

  [Leaning to Jack] 

  Cheng Zhi : Did you really think that we would forget? Hmm?

  Jack Bauer : [Weakly]  I know how this works... I need to make one phone call... Please... just one phone call.

  [pause, until Jack spits at Cheng, and Cheng's men are throwing Jack on the floor] 

  Jack Bauer : Kill me... Just... kill me...

  Cheng Zhi : Kill you? You're far too valuable to kill, Mr. Bauer.

• Jack Bauer : What are the names of your co-conspirators?

  Charles Logan : There are no co-conspirators, because there is no conspir...

  Jack Bauer : [interrupts, yelling]  WALT CUMMINGS! CHRISTOPHER HENDERSON, and James Nathanson have all admitted to being part of this conspiracy, now they are dead! Right before Christopher Henderson died, he acknowledged that there were others, what are their names?

  Charles Logan : A man will say anything under torture, this won't mean a thing.

  Jack Bauer : Mr. Logan, I'm not here to torture you, but you are gonna tell what i want to know, or so help me god, I will kill you.

• Jack Bauer : [Attempting to extract a confession from Logan while being transmitted to Chloe by video]  the plan involving Sentox nerve gas: was designed to fool the terrorists and the Russians. Whether you formulated the plan is irrelevant, you authorized it

  Charles Logan : You're delusional

  Jack Bauer : David Palmer uncovered evidence of this plan. When he started asking questions, he was assassinated, other people were killed to cover that murder up. Men and women who served this country with distinction, people I worked with, friends of mine

  Charles Logan : No, you're wrong, this is all a pack of lies

  Jack Bauer : The terrorists discovered your deception and they deployed Sentox nerve gas on American soil. Every American who died today as a result of terrorist activity is another murder you are accounted for and before you leave here, you are going to admit it

  Charles Logan : I suppose if you hurt me enough, I'll say whatever you want but that won't be the truth and everybody who watches this will know that perfectly well
