Quotes 

• [Navi has Behrooz hostage in an enclosed area but is very confident] 

  Tony Almeida : Let's try to open up a negotiation.

  Dina Araz : My husband won't negotiate.

  Tony Almeida : Why is that?

  Dina Araz : He doesn't need to. He has to assume I have agreed to help you in return for my son's safety.

  Tony Almeida : Well, he can't stay down there with him forever.

  Dina Araz : He won't. In two hours, all the reactors will have gone critical. After that, it won't matter what I tell you, and he can kill my son. I am only helping you to save his life. I believe in our cause, and if you can't save my son, I am happy to see the reactors melt down.

  Jack Bauer : [on phone with Discroll]  Did you get that?

• Jack Bauer : All this planning for one day: you do realize if all the reactors meltdown, hundreds of thousands of people will die

  Dina Araz : Every war has casualties

  Jack Bauer : These people don't know about your "war." These people are innocent

  Dina Araz : No one is innocent

  Jack Bauer : You really believe that?

  Dina Araz : As strongly as you believe in what you believe. As I won't waste your time or mine trying to explain something you can never understand

  Jack Bauer : Maybe I understand more than you think

  Dina Araz : I doubt it

  Jack Bauer : I know something happened today that challenged your commitment to your "war." You weren't willing to let your son become a casualty. That's why you were shot: protecting him from his father. I understand that, I know what it's like to watch your child be threatened. If you help us do anything about it, right now Behrooz is out there alone, you and I know his not going to last very long. His father will find him and kill him. There is another option: if you were to help us find the Override device, we will protect your son

  Dina Araz : So he can spend the rest of his life in prison?

  Jack Bauer : No, so he can walk away from all of this, immune from prosecution

  Dina Araz : How?

  Jack Bauer : Mrs. Araz your son is a minor, his seventeen years old. I can get him a legal and binding pardon signed by the President of the United States

  Dina Araz : You don't have the authority to do this

  Jack Bauer : I can reach the President, if you provide us information that "allows" us to find the Override device in time, I am confident the President will sign that pardon and this offer expires the second another reactor melts down do you understand me? You don't have a lot of time to think about this

  Dina Araz : Show me this document and I'll help you find what you want
