Jack Bauer:  A year and a half ago , I was warned that my life was in danger by someone within the government . I was told the only way I could stay alive was to create the illusion that I was dead . I was forced to deceive people that I loved . My only daughter will never forgive me . As I see the depth of your corruption unfold , I have no doubt that you are that source of danger . David Palmer was a great man , and he was a great President . He was also my friend . He tried to warn me about you and now he is dead . Other people tried to help me , and they are dead , too . So Mr. Logan , I hope you understand ... I have absolutely nothing to lose . You are going to be held accountable for your part of everything that happened today . You will not be able to hide behind the Presidency - right here , right now , you are going to face justice ! And make no mistake about this , this is personal . And if you think for a second that I am scared to put a bullet in your brain , you do n't know me . I am going to ask you one last time . Who are your co - conspirators ? You have until the count of _ three _ , or I will kill you .
