Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : [growing really disgusted with Amador's attitude]  For the last time...

  [picks up some poker chips and throws them] 

  Jack Bauer : ...where is the virus?

  Michael Amador : Go to hell.

  Jack Bauer : [pins Amador's arm down to the table and yells]  Chase!

  Chase : [with one hand he pries Amador's pinned hand open, with the other he uses a knife to slice across Amador's open hand] 

  [Amador passes out] 

  Jack Bauer : When he comes to, you do the same thing to his other hand.

• Stephen Saunders : So, tell me how it all went down in Mexico? You didn't think I'd find out?

  Michael Amador : I didn't think you needed to know: as long as you got what you wanted

  Stephen Saunders : You were stupid enough to believe Jack Bauer had turned against CTU and now you've got every intelligence agency in the country after you

  Michael Amador : Bauer's story checked out

  Stephen Saunders : Don't lecture me about Jack Bauer, what you did was stupid, greedy, and it may have cost me my advantage

  Michael Amador : I was expected to be nicely paid?

  Stephen Saunders : The authorization code is 7QV78

  Michael Amador : [after checking the amount on the computer]  this is only half

  Stephen Saunders : I'll release the balance after I receive confirmation on the hotel

  Michael Amador : The deal was we get paid in full

  Stephen Saunders : The deal changed when you went down to Mexico. Now after you hit the hotel, you'll get the rest of your money

  Michael Amador : Fine

• Michael Amador : You betrayed me: you were with CTU all along

  Jack Bauer : That's right, you betrayed me too. I'm just better at it than you

  Michael Amador : It won't matter in the long run. You have no idea what you're up against

  Jack Bauer : Why don't you tell me?

  Michael Amador : He knows who you are

  Jack Bauer : What're you talking about? Who knows who I am?

  Michael Amador : "Don't presume to tell me about Jack Bauer", that's what he said. You go up against him, you're a dead man

  Jack Bauer : All I want to know right now is where the virus is

  Michael Amador : I don't know I've passed it off. Look, you can do what you want to me, I'm not going to tell you anything

  Jack Bauer : [after Amador sighs]  what're you afraid of? Who are you afraid of? We can protect you

  Michael Amador : Can you?

  Jack Bauer : Yes

  Michael Amador : And my family?

  Jack Bauer : [Sternly]  yes

  Michael Amador : You couldn't even protect your own
