(Jack's Senate hearing)
Senator Blaine Mayer: All right then. Let’s begin. Mr. Bauer, who is Ibrahim Haddad?
Jack Bauer: That information is classified.
Senator Blaine Mayer: We represent the people of the United States. And we have declassified those files on their behalf. Now, I’m going to ask you one more time. Who is Ibrahim Haddad?
Jack Bauer: He was a member of a terrorist sleeper cell CTU had under surveillance in 2002.
Senator Blaine Mayer: And isn't it true that you detained Mr. Haddad without due process? And that you used extreme interrogation methods on him... until he answered your questions?
Jack Bauer: Yes, sir.
Senator Blaine Mayer: Would you say that you broke procedure with this interrogation?
Jack Bauer: Probably.
Senator Blaine Mayer: Probably? Well, that's a very cavalier answer. You don't seem to care about the implications here.
(silence)
Senator Blaine Mayer: Well, Mr. Bauer?
Jack Bauer: I'm sorry, senator, I didn't hear a question.
Senator Blaine Mayer: All right, then. Did you torture Mr. Haddad?
Jack Bauer: According to the definition set forth by the Geneva Convention... yes, I did. Senator, why don't I save you some time? It's obvious that your agenda is to discredit CTU... and generate a series of indictments--
Senator Blaine Mayer: My only agenda is to get to the truth.
Jack Bauer: I don't think it is, sir.
Senator Blaine Mayer: Excuse me?
Jack Bauer: Ibraham Haddad had targeted a bus carrying 45 people, 10 of which were children. The truth, senator, is I stopped that attack from happening.
Senator Blaine Mayer: By torturing Mr. Haddad.
Jack Bauer: By doing what I deemed necessary to protect innocent lives.
Senator Blaine Mayer: So basically, what you're saying, Mr. Bauer, is that the ends justify the means, and that you are above the law.
Jack Bauer: When I am activated, when I am brought into a situation, there is a reason. And that reason is to complete the objectives of my mission at all costs.
Senator Blaine Mayer: Even if it means breaking the law?
Jack Bauer: For a combat soldier, the difference between success and failure is your ability to adapt to your enemy. The people that I deal with, they don't care about your rules. All they care about is a result. My job is to stop them from accomplishing their objectives. I simply adapted. In answer to your question, am I above the law? No, sir. I am more than willing to be judged by the people you claim to represent. I will let them decide what price I should pay. But please do not sit there with that smug look on your face and expect me to regret the decisions that I have made. Because, sir, the truth is, I don't.
Larry Moss: You're here because Agent Walker thinks you might be able to help us with an investigation. Now, personally, I have my doubts. But I'll be happy to be proven wrong.
Jack Bauer: Well, lucky for me, I'm not here to apply for a job, Agent Moss. Personally, I don't care what makes you happy, so let's just get this over with.
Jack Bauer: (to Tony Almeida) What happened to you? What the hell happened to you?
(Jack states his case for interrogating Tony Almeida)
Jack Bauer: I can get you your CIP device. Just let me talk to him. I know him. I know how he thinks. We have a history. I can use it against him.
(to Tony Almeida)
Jack Bauer: I watched you die in my arms. You wanna explain to me how you’re still alive?
(over the phone)
Disguised voice: Hello?
Jack Bauer: This is Jack Bauer.
Disguised voice: Yes?
Jack Bauer: I was told to call you.
Disguised voice: By whom?
Jack Bauer: Tony Almeida. He gave me this old CTU emergency phone code. Deep Sky.
(voice disguiser is removed)
Bill Buchanan: It's Bill, Jack.
Renee Walker: What was that?
Janis Gold: The hacker's back in. Whoever this is, they're very good.
Larry Moss: Well, lock them out!
Janis Gold: I'm trying!
(Before driving a car through the wall of the first floor of the parking lot)
Jack Bauer: This is gonna hurt.
