- Jack Bauer: [to a CTU security guard who points a gun at Jack and orders him to put his hands in the air] Son, you better put that down... Or you're gonna get hurt.
- Sergei Bazhaev: [Over the phone as CTU traces the call with Jack patched in] it's me, your father: don't hang up. Stay on the line, please? I know you have the rods
- Josef Bazhaev: Yes, I wanted you to know
- Sergei Bazhaev: The police know too, they are here
- Josef Bazhaev: You told the police?
- Sergei Bazhaev: Of course not, it was Vladimir's buyer, his a federal agent
- Jack Bauer: Josef, just so we're up front, I'm here with your father. My name is Jack Bauer, I work with CTU
- Josef Bazhaev: Do what you want with him, I don't care
- Jack Bauer: Maybe you don't but your father cares about you: he negotiated immunity for you, all you need to do is bring the fuel rods in and you can put the rest of this behind you. It's the only way you'll be safe
- Josef Bazhaev: Safe? Did my father tell you about my other brother? What he did to him?
- Sergei Bazhaev: Oleg was dying, you know that
- Josef Bazhaev: Yeah, we could've saved him. He would be alive if not for your "precious" deal
- Sergei Bazhaev: Maybe your right, I don't know but that doesn't bring Oleg back and I cannot bear to lose another son
- Josef Bazhaev: Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
- Sergei Bazhaev: No, you won't be: you won't be anything, it's over. Federal agents are here going through everything. The entire city is under guard. If you don't bring the rods in, they will hunt you down. They will kill you, I won't be able to protect you. I don't want to see you hurt
- Josef Bazhaev: If I hand over the rods, how does this work?
- Jack Bauer: Tell us where you are and we'll bring you in
- Josef Bazhaev: Just like that? After everything we've done?
- Sergei Bazhaev: Yes, that's what I've told you: they've given us immunity. Please Josef, please? This is your last chance
- Sergei Bazhaev: [after he doesn't respond] are you there?
- Josef Bazhaev: Yes, I'm here
- Jack Bauer: [to Sergei, referring to Josef] you need to bring him in now, before Farhad gets there
- Sergei Bazhaev: Josef, did you hear that? You need to move
- Josef Bazhaev: Alright, I'll call you on the road and let you know where to meet
- Chloe O'Brian: [Over the phone] Hastings wants your ETA: his anxious to interrogate Bazhaev
- Jack Bauer: I'm about fifteen minutes out and I wouldn't count on getting anything out of him. If Bazhaev could've told me how to get to the people who just killed his son, he would've
- Chloe O'Brian: I heard about what you went through, you ok?
- Jack Bauer: yeah, I'm fine, thanks. How's Renee?
- Chloe O'Brian: Pretty worried about you, we've still got her in medical
- Jack Bauer: Yeah, could you patch me through to her?
- Chloe O'Brian: Hold on
- Jack Bauer: Ok
- Chloe O'Brian: Renee, I have Jack
- Renee Walker: Jack?
- Jack Bauer: How are you?
- Renee Walker: I'm fine, what about you?
- Jack Bauer: We had a lead on the fuel rods... we lost it
- Renee Walker: So what's the plan now?
- Jack Bauer: Hastings called. I'm bringing a prisoner back to CTU then I'm out. They ask you about what happened? About Vladimir?
- Renee Walker: Yes, Chloe did
- Jack Bauer: Chloe did the debrief?
- Renee Walker: Yeah... I wouldn't call it a "debrief", we talked mostly and then I wrote a statement
- Jack Bauer: And you explained how you acted in "self defense?"
- Renee Walker: Yes, like we agreed
- Jack Bauer: hat's how it happened, you've got to "stick" with that
- Renee Walker: Yes, I'm going to try
- Jack Bauer: I know this is hard for you but you did nothing wrong: you need to start believing that ok?
- Renee Walker: Ok, I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to say it because I need to make sure there's not a misunderstanding but when you said "I have you"
- Jack Bauer: I meant how it sounded
- Renee Walker: So now what do we do?
- Jack Bauer: We'll figure it out
- Brian Hastings: [Over the phone] I just got a flash from your office: how this immunity "situation" the President "played out." It's not good: really not. As I understand it, Bazhaev's son swiped the rods from his father before we got there?
- Brian Hastings: That's correct
- Rob Weiss: And now the son is dead?
- Brian Hastings: Yes
- Rob Weiss: Do we know who has the rods now?
- Brian Hastings: Apparently it's Farhad Hassan
- Rob Weiss: And where is he?
- Brian Hastings: We're looking
- Rob Weiss: Meaning you have no idea. I pushed the President to "resurrect" CTU with you at the helm: you tell me you can do the job, I believe you
- Brian Hastings: I can do the job
- Rob Weiss: Good to hear it because when things like this get colossally screwed up, people look for someone to blame
- Brian Hastings: So, what are you saying?
- Rob Weiss: I'm saying I don't want that person to be you. I "put" you there: you're my guy. If you fail, I fail and that cannot happen. Are we on the same page here?
- Brian Hastings: So, what've you got in mind?
- Rob Weiss: Renee Walker, she killed one of our main leads, is that correct?
- Brian Hastings: He was a psychopath, she was defending herself
- Rob Weiss: She stabbed him fifteen times
- Brian Hastings: What're you saying? It was murder?
- Rob Weiss: I'm saying... that's for the lawyers to decide
- Brian Hastings: We're talking about a woman who put her life on the line when she didn't have to
- Rob Weiss: I'm sure that'll "wave" in her favor
- Brian Hastings: You know what a conviction would mean, she'd go away for years
- Rob Weiss: [Sternly] well, someone has to pay for this, so you tell me who do you want that to be? I'm sending someone over from Justice: Kristen Smith, she'll take care of everything
- Brian Hastings: What do you need from me?
- Rob Weiss: Just open the door and get out of the way
- Kristen Smith: [Interviewing her while being monitored by Hastings] so you said in your statement that you killed Vladimir Laitanan in self defense? Is that correct?
- Renee Walker: [Nods] yes, that's why it's in my statement
- Kristen Smith: What I didn't see in the statement was any mention of your history with Laitanan: you did have a history with him
- Renee Walker: I worked an undercover operation with the FBI six years ago Vladimir Laitanan was the target
- Kristen Smith: And during the course of that operation, you had to "get close" to him, he became obsessed with you. He tried to rape you?
- Renee Walker: Yes
- Kristen Smith: But you were able to stop him
- Renee Walker: I fought him, he put me in the hospital with two broken ribs, I'm that's in there too
- Kristen Smith: You were able to fight off a stronger violent man: that's impressive but this time when he attacked you, you didn't fight him off
- Renee Walker: I couldn't. He had his hands around my neck trying to strangle me
- Kristen Smith: [Nods] I understand, he was trying to kill you, you were in fear for your life
- Kristen Smith: [Before showing Renee photos of Laitanan's dead body] so what happened next?
- Kristen Smith: He was choking me and I grabbed a knife and I stabbed him
- Renee Walker: In self defense?
- Kristen Smith: Yes
- Kristen Smith: You stabbed him in self defense fifteen times: first blow alone could've stopped him but you didn't stop. Look at me, you were an investigator for the FBI, by all accounts one of the best they had. Put yourself on my side of the table, look at what I'm looking at. This is a dead body. On one hand I have your statement saying you acted in self defense on the other, I have these: evidence of a sustained and furious attack assault with a clear intent to kill. Now as an investigator, you know which version is true don't you?
- Renee Walker: I acted in self defense
- Kristen Smith: Let me tell you what I think happened: you used an operation of unparalleled importance to seek revenge against a target without any regard of the final outcome
- Renee Walker: I'm telling you he attacked me first
- Kristen Smith: I am well aware of your sacrifice and service to this country but I do not think it is fair or right that CTU should be taken down because you used this operation to seek out your own personal vendetta against Vladimir Laitanan. I looked at your file, this isn't the first time you lost control. You almost killed Alan Wilson, that's why you were fired from the FBI isn't it?
- Renee Walker: Yes
- Kristen Smith: I can see what "this" is doing to you: it is tearing you up inside, let it out tell me the truth, you killed Vladimir Laitanan because the thought of him touching you again was intolerable, do the "right" thing here, that's what happened, isn't it?
- Brian Hastings: [after security escorts Bauer to his office] sit down
- Jack Bauer: I'll stand. So this is the new CTU? You hang your own?
- Brian Hastings: If you mean Renee Walker, we're just asking her some questions: standard procedure
- Jack Bauer: Standard procedure is a debrief which Chloe completed but instead you've got some hack from Justice in there trying to initiate a criminal prosecution
- Brian Hastings: We're just trying to establish the facts
- Jack Bauer: [Raises his voice] you're trying to save your ass. I was there when you asked her for her help and she gave it to you and we "acquired" the target: this is how you pay her back? I'm not going to let you do this. I'll call the White House first
- Brian Hastings: The White House knows, Rob Weiss sent that woman here
- Jack Bauer: [Sarcastically] sorry, maybe I wasn't clear, I meant I'm going to call the President
- Brian Hastings: [Sarcastically] well, good luck with that but I think the President Takes murder pretty "seriously". To my recollection, she prosecuted her own daughter. Now I'm not asking... sit down
- Farhad Hassan: [Over the phone, panicking] there are people chasing me: they have the rods you're looking for
- Jack Bauer: I thought you had the rods?
- Farhad Hassan: No, not anymore. They turned against me, they have their own plan: an attack on New York
- Jack Bauer: An attack on New York? When exactly?
- Farhad Hassan: Soon... very soon
- Jack Bauer: Who are these people?
- Farhad Hassan: The IRK operatives working in this country
- Jack Bauer: Ok, I need names
- Farhad Hassan: Just get me out of here, I'll tell you everything I know
- Jack Bauer: We'll get you out, I give you my word. Now where are you?
- Farhad Hassan: Forest Hills... Some kind of boat warehouse, hurry, I'm injured, their hunting me
- Jack Bauer: Hold on and keep this line open
- Brian Hastings: You got something to say? Say it
- Jack Bauer: Think about it: the people chasing Farhad already know they've got a big security problem so by the time your men get there, those fuel rods will be long gone and you're down to one team covering Farhad? What if they run into resistance?
- Brian Hastings: What if they do?
- Jack Bauer: Well, at that point, you start shooting at people with a higher intel value than the man you're going to "try" to save
- Brian Hastings: Agent Owen knows the priority is to take all hostages alive
- Jack Bauer: Under fire? No assignment is more difficult
- Brian Hastings: Agent Owen has my full confidence
- Jack Bauer: Yeah? If that were true, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me
- Brian Hastings: You offering to bring in Farhad?
- Jack Bauer: Yes, if you drop the criminal investigation against Renee Walker. Look, I know you don't want to prosecute her, I can be your "out"
- Brian Hastings: I hear what you're saying but I can't help you
- Jack Bauer: I've sat in that chair before: the chair your sitting in now, I know what it's like, a lot demands on you. Many of them "unreasonable" but the people that "last here", the ones that "mattered", they knew when to say "no"
- Brian Hastings: It's the White House, you don't say "no"
- Jack Bauer: You're the head of CTU. You've got a lot more "juice" than you think, especially if a nuclear weapon "in play"
- Brian Hastings: [after thinking it over] if we do this, it's not for one rescue operation, it's until this "whole thing" is over and done. You want Renee freed up? You're not "in and out" anymore, I want you "in" with both feet
