24: Live Another Day

Jack Bauer:
This is for Audrey, you son of a b*tch! [decapitates Cheng Zhi with a katana]

Jack Bauer:
[fighting Cheng] You should have stayed hidden like a rat. You could have died an old man.

Jack Bauer:
[exchanging himself for Chloe] I've taken you at your word. But if you're lying to me, if anything happens to her or my family, your entire world will come apart, and you will never see it coming.

Russian Agent:
We just want you, Mr. Bauer. That's all we ever wanted. I would say you're going to enjoy Moscow, but you'd know I was lying.

President James Heller:
[to President Wei] You've made yourself clear, Mr. President. Let me make myself clear. Once your forces cross the 12-mile limit outside of Okinawa... We will fight.

Chloe O'Brian:
Adrian wasn't who I thought he was. He manipulated me and he used my knowledge to create the device. So, this is partly my fault. That's why I need to help you. I need to try to make this right. It's up to you. At this point, I think I'm the only friend you have left. Whether you want to admit it or not.

President James Heller:
I won't remember anything that happens today. I won't remember anything that happens, period. I won't remember that I had a daughter that died in such a horrible fashion.

Chloe O'Brian:
Jack, you don't have to do this. It's time for you to go to home.

Jack Bauer:
You were right about what you said earlier. About being my best friend. Thank you. Look in on my family when you can. Go.

Jack Bauer:
You know who I am. Trigger the alarm, and I blow your head off.

Mark Boudreau:
Mr. President? It was, um... It was Theodore Roosevelt.

President James Heller:
Who?

Mark Boudreau:
You said Franklin Roosevelt sailed the Great White Fleet around the world. It was Teddy.

President James Heller:
Well, thank you, Mark. When you retire as my Chief of Staff, you're gonna have a real place on Jeopardy. [chuckles, and says quietly] Don't worry about me. That's an order.

Mark Boudreau:
I'm thinking about what happens next, after they get what they can from Bauer.

Ron Clark:
Well, I imagine he goes on trial.

Mark Boudreau:
That may not be the best thing for this country.

Ron Clark:
Is there an alternative?

Mark Boudreau:
He could disappear. The Russians have wanted Bauer's head since he murdered their people. I want you to explore the possibility of handing him over to them, [pause] clandestinely.

Ron Clark:
The President should be made aware.

Mark Boudreau:
The President has enough on his mind.

Belcheck:
I still think you should have just asked her to help.

Jack Bauer:
I couldn't take the chance she'd say no.

Belcheck:
I thought you said she was your friend.

Jack Bauer:
I don't have any friends.

Chloe O'Brian:
A guy I used to work with broke me out. Told me to go somewhere safe. I know that sounds crazy.

Adrian Cross:
Yeah, I mean, he broke you out. That's impossible.

Chloe O'Brian:
Not for him. He's former head of CTU, Jack Bauer.

Adrian Cross:
[sighs] Oh. Have to shut it down. [to his team] We'll have to shut it down. We're moving to another spot.

Chloe O'Brian:
No! He's my friend. He was trying to protect me.

Jack Bauer:
[crashing door, shouts] Nobody move!

Adrian Cross:
[to Jack] Has anybody ever mentioned your rather rude habit of asking for favors accompanied by the threat of a gun?

Simone Al-Harazi:
It's no small thing to kill a man. To see the life go out of him. I didn't think I could do it. But I did. And so will you. Because what we're doing is necessary and just. You know it is. We're going to get through this together.

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
Mr. President. Handing over the pilot may have stopped some of the bleeding for a bit, but this morning's incident means that votes for this treaty are going to be very hard to obtain.

President James Heller:
Will they hear me out?

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
Well, some MPs have walked out, but yes, they will. But I recommend you don't address them. They're a surly bunch today. It's gonna be a hell of a challenge to sway their minds.

President James Heller:
I'm with Churchill on this one. "Having enemies means you've stood up for something."

Mark Boudreau:
What happened? You said you were gonna talk him out of it.

Audrey Boudreau:
I tried to.

Mark Boudreau:
Audrey...

Audrey Boudreau:
It's not our call, it's my father's.

Mark Boudreau:
Your father is in no condition to make that call.

Audrey Boudreau:
Well, he thinks he is, and it's your job to support him. Mark, you've got to stop making everyone's decisions for them.

Mark Boudreau:
Is that what you think I do?

Audrey Boudreau:
Yeah, you do it to me, too. It's like you keep me in this little box, like I'm some fragile keepsake. I don't know, maybe it's a habit from all the time that you spent taking care of me, but I don't need that anymore.

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.

[Jack shot two civilians to cover his entrance into the American embassy]

Jack Bauer:
I only grazed them, sir.

President James Heller:
How do you know, Jack?

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.

General Coburn:
We believe that this is Margot Al-Harazi crawling away from the wreckage. God knows how she survived.

President James Heller:
There were children there. So she was telling the truth.

Mark Boudreau:
Despite her claims, the majority of the people killed were members of a radical sect led by her husband.

President James Heller:
Well, why wasn't I told that there were civilian casualties?

Mark Boudreau:
We were in the middle of a fight to secure funding for the drone program. We needed to focus on the achieved objective, which was killing her husband.

President James Heller:
So you covered it up? Even from me?

Mark Boudreau:
I thought that the burden of specifics would distract you from the goal at hand.

President James Heller:
So you didn't think that you could trust me with the truth, that if I knew that we had killed civilians somehow I wouldn't lobby as hard as you thought.

Mark Boudreau:
I was protecting you. That's why you hired me. "No military action is purely surgical. And when the fight begins, collateral damage is always a factor, but our U.S. drone program lets us hit our enemies with the fewest civilian casualties." Those are your words, Mr. President. That's what you believe. And until I hear otherwise, I'm going to do everything I can to further that policy.

President James Heller:
You want me to put you back in the field?

Jack Bauer:
Until she's captured, yes.

President James Heller:
That's a big ask, Jack, even under the circumstances. The Russians are still crying for your head. They find out that we have you and then we let you go? I'll have a larger crisis than I have now.

Jack Bauer:
Mr. President, I give you my word that I will surrender myself to the authorities as soon as the threat has been neutralized.

President James Heller:
I can't do it, Jack.

Jack Bauer:
I'm not gonna let you blow the only lead that we've got because you're worried about what the Russians will do. You want to capture Margot Al-Harazi, you're gonna have my way.

President James Heller:
You've been in exile for four years, Jack. Haven't you learned anything?

Jack Bauer:
Mr. President, I hope you consider my request. While you still have time.

Audrey Boudreau:
[comes into the room] It's okay, Tom.

Jack Bauer:
You shouldn't be here.

Audrey Boudreau:
I just... I just wanted to tell you... I just... wanted to tell you that we have a lead on Al-Harazi's location, and there's an operation already in progress.

Jack Bauer:
Everything they said is true. It was complicated, but I killed those people. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You should go. You need to go. You need to go now. Audrey, you need to go. You need to go now. Now. [Audrey leaves]

Adrian Cross:
What are you doing? What are you doing? We're leaving.

Chloe O'Brian:
I just spoke with Agent Morgan. I'm going to help her with the Al-Harazi tape.

Adrian Cross:
Chloe, it was one thing to help Bauer. We had no choice.

Chloe O'Brian:
I'm not joining the CIA, but I am gonna help her, so, I'm not going anywhere.

Adrian Cross:
Chloe?

Chloe O'Brian:
Listen, I have to do this. Adrian!

Belcheck:
She wants to stay. She stays.

Adrian Cross:
It's none of your business, is it?

Belcheck:
I know many people like you.

Adrian Cross:
Do you?

Belcheck:
You act like you are one thing, but you're not. Take your comrades and your computers, and go.

Naveed Shabazz:
Please, Margot. Margot, don't kill me. Please. Margot, please. If you love Simone, you have to know that she wouldn't want you to do this.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Ask her.

Naveed Shabazz:
Simone? Simone? [shouts] Simone?

Margot Al-Harazi:
I think you have your answer. [pulls a trigger]

Caroline Fowlds:
Sir, I've been loath to bring this to your attention. We have intelligence, unverified, that Heller's being secretly treated by a neurologist. Possibly for Alzheimer's.

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
Poor bastard. Do you mean I'm counting on a man to protect our soil who hasn't got his wits about him? God help us.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Did you know about this?

Simone Al-Harazi:
No. No.

Margot Al-Harazi:
If Naveed had planned to take his sister out of London, then he must have told her about our operation.

Simone Al-Harazi:
No, no. We don't know that.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Go to her. Find out exactly what she knows and if she's told anyone else.

Simone Al-Harazi:
And if she has?

Margot Al-Harazi:
Think of what we've sacrificed thus far. What you have sacrificed. I trust you to do what needs to be done.

President James Heller:
Alastair, listen. Please do not deploy any military for at least an hour.

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
All right. But you'll keep me apprised of every development.

President James Heller:
I will. And thank you.

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
Allowing a man with Jack Bauer's record to direct an operation... Maybe James is losing his mind after all.

Caroline Fowlds:
I hope you don't think I'm speaking out of turn, PM, but should you be placing this kind of faith in his judgement? Especially in the light of his condition?

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
Get hold of Woodfeld at MI-5. I want to know exactly where Jack Bauer is going and who his contact is.

Kate Morgan:
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around you working for someone like Rask.

Jack Bauer:
In the last 11 months, two of Rask's clients, significant clients, have been taken down. A human trafficking ring and an international drug cartel. I'm using my position in Rask's organization to make sure people like that can't keep doing business.

Kate Morgan:
Why? Who have you been working for?

Jack Bauer:
No one. This time I'm doing it for me.

Kate Morgan:
And Rask wants to kill you.

Jack Bauer:
I disappeared on him when I discovered the threat against President Heller. So, naturally, he'd think I was the leak. He'd be right.

Kate Morgan:
Okay. So what's your plan?

Kate Morgan:
You want to hand me over to Rask.

Jack Bauer:
It's the only way I know how to make this work.

Kate Morgan:
What do you need me to do?

Jack Bauer:
Chloe uploaded evidence onto this phone linking you to the CIA investigation into Rask's operation. I need to plant it on you and offer you up. A sign of goodwill.

Kate Morgan:
He's gonna want to interrogate me.

Jack Bauer:
I know. That's why I want to deliver you unconscious. If you're unconscious, there's no one to interrogate. Five cc's of propofol should give me enough time to get everything we need.

Kate Morgan:
And if there's not enough time?

Jack Bauer:
I've got a guy on the ground. He'll be covering you. But it's not a guarantee. Look, this is a long shot. There is a good chance that we will both end up dead. If you don't want to do this, I can't force you. It's a lot to ask.

Kate Morgan:
[pause] Just make it count. [self-injects]

Margot Al-Harazi:
Yes?

Simone Al-Harazi:
Everything's okay. Farah doesn't know anything about the operation.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Where did she think she was going with Naveed?

Simone Al-Harazi:
I explained that he was just stressed and needed some time away.

Margot Al-Harazi:
And she believed you?

Simone Al-Harazi:
Mm-hm. I'm sure of it. All right, I'm coming back.

Margot Al-Harazi:
We're too close to finishing this. We can't take any chances.

Simone Al-Harazi:
Didn't you hear what I said? That Farah's completely in the dark?

Margot Al-Harazi:
And you also said Naveed could be trusted.

Simone Al-Harazi:
She has her daughter with her.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Then you have two loose ends to take care of. Is that a problem?

Simone Al-Harazi:
No.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Good. Get back as soon as you can.

A man on the phone:
Hello?

Steve Navarro:
We have a problem. One of my analysts has been digging around Adam Morgan's data files. He knows about the missing sectors.

A man on the phone:
I trust you were able to dissuade him from looking further.

Steve Navarro:
I did for now. But he thinks he might be able to retrieve the deleted files. You told me that wouldn't be possible.

A man on the phone:
I said it was unlikely. Is he working with Agent Morgan? Still trying to clear her husband?

Steve Navarro:
I don't know. I don't think so.

A man on the phone:
Make sure nothing is recovered. If the evidence you planted against her husband gets out, there won't be any way for us to protect you.

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
James, I take it you've heard what's happened?

President James Heller:
I explicitly asked you to allow Jack Bauer to handle this alone! Now, you gave me your word.

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
I only agreed to hold off a military presence on the streets. Trusting a fallen agent is another matter entirely. Our surveillance shows that he was betraying you...

President James Heller:
You had no business surveilling him in the first place!

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
We are approaching less than an hour to Margot Al-Harazi's deadline. When you fail to deliver yourself to her, she plans to reduce this city to rubble and flames. I can't just sit idly by and do nothing.

President James Heller:
Nobody is sitting idly by. We're working our asses off here. You and I need to be working together.

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
We have worked together and we have known each other for years, James. I consider you a friend. And under normal circumstances, I am not one who would ever doubt your judgement.

President James Heller:
But?

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
But... Is there something you've been holding back from me, James? Concerning your health?

President James Heller:
What about my health?

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
If what I've heard is true, you have my deepest sympathy.

President James Heller:
If you had a concern regarding my health, you should've come to me directly and asked.

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
I'm asking you now.

President James Heller:
If I thought for one moment that my health risks anyone's life, I would resign this presidency immediately.

Prime Minister Alastair Davies:
My mistake, Mr. President. Please, accept my apologies.

Jack Bauer:
Is she awake?

Hospital Surgeon:
No. But she's coming around.

Jack Bauer:
Okay, good. I'm gonna need to talk to her before you send her in for that scan.

Hospital Surgeon:
That's not possible.

Jack Bauer:
Doctor, I'm not asking. Right now there are more lives at stake than just hers. I need you to do what you can to stabilize her and get her conscious. Do you understand me? Please.

Ian Al-Harazi:
You don't have to do this.

Margot Al-Harazi:
She's betrayed me once. I won't let her do it again. Move the drone to within range of the hospital.

Jack Bauer:
My name is Jack Bauer. Simone, your instinct was to protect your family members from what your mother is doing today. I want you to think of the hundreds of thousands of innocent people that will die if we don't stop her. Please help me. Right now, you're the only person that can stop this from happening.

Simone Al-Harazi:
Just because I took pity on Farah and Yasmin, doesn't mean I would ever betray my mother to you.

Jack Bauer:
Your mother. Who did this? [squeezes her wounded hand]

Simone Al-Harazi:
[winces] My mother loves me. She would never do anything to harm me.

Jack Bauer:
He texted her Simone's location. She replied, "You got eight minutes to get out."

Helen McCarthy:
Well, what does that mean?

Jack Bauer:
She's sending a drone to kill her daughter. You need to clear this hospital now. Now!

Helen McCarthy:
Get everyone out!

Jack Bauer:
Doctor, I've got her. You can go.

Hospital Surgeon:
She can't walk.

Jack Bauer:
She's gonna have to. Go!

Simone Al-Harazi:
What's happening?

Jack Bauer:
Your mother's targeting you with a drone.

Simone Al-Harazi:
No.

Jack Bauer:
She's willing to kill everybody here just to keep you quiet.

Simone Al-Harazi:
She wouldn't do that.

Jack Bauer:
You honestly believe that? Stay here then. [walks away]

Simone Al-Harazi:
Wait. Please. Please don't leave me here.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Scan the area. If they got her out, find her.

Ian Al-Harazi:
There they are.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Lock on target. And fire.

Ian Al-Harazi:
Target acquired. [shoots a missile]

Jack Bauer:
She's got a visual on us. Hold on.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Ugh. [finds the escaping car] Stay on them. Take the shot when you can.

President James Heller:
If I do as you ask and surrender myself to you, can I trust you to keep your word?

Margot Al-Harazi:
You're asking if you can trust me? If either of us should be suspicious, it's me. Is this a tactic to buy yourself more time?

President James Heller:
No tactic. No one else knows about this. It's just you and me reaching out to one another.

Margot Al-Harazi:
If that's true, then, yes. Surrender yourself to me on the terms I set out, and you have my word this will be over. Nobody else will die. I'm waiting for your decision.

President James Heller:
As you suggested, my decision has already been made.

President James Heller:
I need you to do something for me, Jack, something you're not gonna want to do.

Jack Bauer:
Mr. President, I'll do whatever you need.

President James Heller:
A few minutes ago, I spoke directly to Margot Al-Harazi. This is a recording of the relevant part.

Jack Bauer:
The only way we can stop this from happening is to find Margot fast. So wake the b*tch up.

Kate Morgan:
We need to wake her right now.

CIA Doctor:
I told you, she'll probably die.

Kate Morgan:
Well, actually, you didn't say probably before, but that doesn't matter right now, so just give her anything that you think will make her up.

CIA Doctor:
I'll have to ask you to leave.

Kate Morgan:
[holds him at gunpoint] I'm gonna have to ask you to do what I say and wake her up right now.

CIA Doctor:
Who do you think you are?

Kate Morgan:
Just do it.

CIA Doctor:
If she dies, it's on your head.

Kate Morgan:
Move quickly!

Ian Al-Harazi:
We should be safe here for a while.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Long enough, anyway. Prep our nearest drone for the attack. Position the others for destruction once Heller is dead.

Ian Al-Harazi:
If you say so. It just seems like such a waste.

Margot Al-Harazi:
No. Let the world to see that justice was done and that even a so-called terrorist can keep her word.

Adrian Cross:
I found a new place. We'll be safe there. For a few weeks anyway. Look, why don't you come back? I'm working on something.

Chloe O'Brian:
Maybe later.

President James Heller:
End of the road, Jack. I gave you a presidential pardon.

Jack Bauer:
A pardon?

President James Heller:
Yeah. [sighs] All charges against you from four years ago vanish, as well as any charges that might come up with today. You can go home again, Jack.

Jack Bauer:
Mr. President, I'm not looking for a pardon. Especially not for this. I think what you're doing is wrong.

President James Heller:
This is the right way for me to go.

Jack Bauer:
Yes, sir.

Ian Al-Harazi:
There it is. The only question is whether he's really there.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Let's find out. Move in.

Ian Al-Harazi:
My God. He really is there.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Move in closer. Facial recognition. Are the missiles ready to fire?

Ian Al-Harazi:
Ready.

Margot Al-Harazi:
I'll do it. [pulls a trigger]

President James Heller:
Hand me your phone. I'll call the Secret Service. They'll come and pick me up.

Belcheck:
Jack said no phones.

President James Heller:
I am the President of the United States of America, and I just gave you an order.

Belcheck:
I am not American citizen. This is not America.

Margot Al-Harazi:
Hundreds of people died today because of you and Heller. You think you've won, but this is all on your head.

Jack Bauer:
The only death tonight on my head is yours. [pushes Margot out from window]

President James Heller:
So, what's your name?

Belcheck:
Belcheck.

President James Heller:
Belcheck what?

Belcheck:
Belcheck. Just one word, like Madonna.

Jack Bauer:
What can you tell us?

DOD Tech:
All military defense systems use a common architecture. They basically work off a 2048-bit encryption. What we're dealing with here... [sighs] This looks like it was designed to break through the firewall.

Steve Navarro:
To do what?

DOD Tech:
Worst case scenario? Anything you want. Unlimited access to any defense system out there. This isn't just about drones.

Adrian Cross:
We're going to save lives, Chloe. Millions of them.

Chloe O'Brian:
How?

Adrian Cross:
We're going to break into the world's arsenals, and exploit the vulnerability in their firewalls. We're going to share that information with every nation on Earth. How effective could a country's weapons systems be if its adversaries cold take control of them?

Chloe O'Brian:
Not very.

Adrian Cross:
Right, so one stroke and technological warfare is obsolete.

Erik Ritter:
I'm getting authorization to have him sent down to special activities for enhanced interrogation.

Jack Bauer:
That's not gonna work. Navarro was in covert ops. He's been trained to resist those exact same techniques.

Erik Ritter:
What do you suggest?

Jack Bauer:
Let me talk to him.

Erik Ritter:
Bauer...

Jack Bauer:
He views you and everybody else here as a subordinate. He will not be afraid of you. But he knows my history.

Erik Ritter:
Okay. Okay, you can talk to him. Soon as he's set up in interrogation. But if you cross the line, I'm pulling you.

Jack Bauer:
Just so we're clear, I wasn't asking. That was me being courteous.

Jack Bauer:
I'm going to ask you one last time nicely. Where's the override device?

Steve Navarro:
Come on now. You and I both know they're not going to let you hurt me. Agent Ritter is acting Head of Station, and there's no way he's going to let you screw up his career. Let's face it, Jack. Anything you say or do between now and me getting that immunity is just a waste of time. Tick-tock.

Jack Bauer:
Well, I can assure you full immunity is not on the table. But your hand is. [gunshots]

Steve Navarro:
[screams]

Mark Boudreau:
Look, I don't have Bauer but I can tell you how to find him.

Anatol Stolnavich:
Go on.

Mark Boudreau:
He's in the field. He's using an encrypted CIA comlink. I have the transmission code. Your men will be able to pinpoint his location.

Steve Navarro:
I put a tracker on the device. I can tell you where it is.

Kate Morgan:
You lying bastard!

Jack Bauer:
Please, put the weapon down and let him talk!

Steve Navarro:
I can give you the tracker's code.

Kate Morgan:
I don't believe you. I'm going to put a bullet in your head!

Jack Bauer:
Kate, Kate! Put the weapon down!

Steve Navarro:
Three, eight, four, six, nine, romeo. Three, alpha, four, six, nine, romeo. That's the code. I'm telling you the truth.

Kate Morgan:
Did you get that?

Jack Bauer:
Gavin?

Gavin Leonard:
Running the trace now. Seems to be legit. It's already triangulating within a four mile area.

Jack Bauer:
Copy that. He's logging onto the override device. It worked.

Kate Morgan:
You're done. You're going to be executed for murder and for treason. And I'm going to be there to watch.

Kate Morgan:
The last time I saw my husband, he was in custody. We were going to go over his appeal. He was really happy to see me until he realized that I no longer believed him. I'll never forget the look in his eyes. I know that was the moment that he decided to take his own life. Not because he was convicted, but because I had deserted him. How am I supposed to live with that?

Jack Bauer:
You just do.

Adrian Cross:
How did you do this?

Cheng Zhi:
What, this? I didn't do this. You did. When you tried to deceive us. Look, we've paid you to develop the override. Not for you to give it away to the rest of the world.

Adrian Cross:
We're not going to get out of this alive.

Chloe O'Brian:
Don't say that.

Adrian Cross:
There's something I... should tell you about. Your husband and your son...

Chloe O'Brian:
What?

Adrian Cross:
About a year ago, I came across some documents that disproved what you had been led to believe about that car accident... their deaths.

Chloe O'Brian:
What do you mean?

Adrian Cross:
It was an accident, Chloe. No one was trying to kill you. No one was responsible for what happened to your family.

Chloe O'Brian:
Why would you keep that from me?

Adrian Cross:
I didn't want you to leave. I was going to tell you eventually, no matter what. The truth is always best.

Mark Boudreau:
I had no idea Anatol Stolnavich was working with Cheng.

Jack Bauer:
Stolnavich's cover is that of deputy foreign minister. He's a covert intelligence operator, you idiot! If the U.S. goes to war with China, who do you think benefits?

Audrey Boudreau:
Hello.

Jack Bauer:
Audrey, it's Jack. Look, I need to tell you...

Audrey Boudreau:
Kill him.

Jack Bauer:
What?

Audrey Boudreau:
Cheng. Do what you have to first, and then you kill him.

Mark Boudreau:
I am not working for Russians! I thought Bauer was a traitor! I thought he was here to assassinate you. The Russians have been pushing us for four years to turn him over to them. So, yes, I... I... I forged your signature on the rendition order. I thought I was killing two birds with one stone.

President James Heller:
I can't believe what you're telling me.

Mark Boudreau:
Sir, as long as Jack Bauer is free, he is our political liability. I was trying to turn him into an asset. I was doing my job.

President James Heller:
Your job?

Mark Boudreau:
Mr. President, don't be so na?ve. My job is to keep your hands clean. That means mine get dirty. I had no idea Anatol Stolnavich was working with Cheng.

Cheng Zhi:
[Audrey's cell phone vibrates] My associate has his weapon trained on you. Sit back down on the bench and don't move. And maybe I'll allow you to live.
