Kiefer Sutherland: Jack Bauer

Quotes 

• Graem Bauer : It has nothing to do with McCarthy. It has to do with Palmer.

  Jack Bauer : David Palmer?

  Graem Bauer : Yeah. I gave the order for his assassination.

  [Jack backs away in shock] 

  Graem Bauer : And agent Tony Almeida and agent Michelle Dessler. Your co-workers, they're all dead because of me. I arranged everything: I set the timetable, I paid off the killers, I even lured you out of hiding to take the fall. Today wasn't the first time I've tried to have you killed, Jack.

• Bill Buchanan : Unbelievable. That's what Graem was holding back?

  Jack Bauer : Not only was he responsible for David Palmer's assassination, he directed the entire conspiracy. He was trying to protect the company. That's what he's trying to do now.

  Bill Buchanan : Incredible.

  Jack Bauer : I wish it got us closer to the nukes, but it doesn't. He doesn't know where McCarthy is.

• Jack Bauer : [Talking privately]  Graem just tried to have me and my father killed

  Marilyn Bauer : Why? Why would he try to kill you?

  Jack Bauer : The nuclear bomb that was detonated earlier, the terrorists acquired it from the family's company: Graem's been trying to cover it up. I'm sorry, I understand how difficult this must be for you to believe

  Marilyn Bauer : It's not, I mean I don't know the details of what his done but I know what his capable of

  Marilyn Bauer : Like what?

  Jack Bauer : Did Graem ever talk about a man McCarthy?

  Marilyn Bauer : No

  Jack Bauer : Are you sure?

  Marilyn Bauer : He hasn't confided in me in years: probably never did

  Jack Bauer : Thousands of lives are at stake, please? Just think

  Marilyn Bauer : I wish I knew something, I really wish I did but I don't know anything, and Josh doesn't know anything either and he doesn't need to know

  Jack Bauer : I'll do everything I can to protect him

  Marilyn Bauer : No, I've seen what happens when you "try" to protect people. I just want to get my son and I want to get out of here

• Jack Bauer : Dad, maybe Graem started making the wrong choices after you let him start running the company? You can't make yourself responsible for that. That's not fair

  Phillip Bauer : [Distraught after seeing Jack torture Graem]  I'll tell you what's not fair: you deserved a better family, not this, not us. I can just imagine what you must be feeling. All that time we lost, what I wouldn't give to have some of it back

  Jack Bauer : Me too. I want you to go back to CTU

  Phillip Bauer : Ok, I need a few minutes

  Jack Bauer : Of course: their sending a chopper for me. I have to go
