Quotes
-
Cheng Zhi : [to Phillip, over the phone] You repair the circut board and return it to us, or there'll be serious consequences!
Phillip Bauer : Now, you listen to me. I'm not afraid of you, Cheng. And the next time you threat at me, the consequences will be serious... but not for me.
-
Phillip Bauer : [Over the phone] look, I'm sorry, I know you've been through a lot
Josh Bauer : I'm sorry? A few hours ago you pointed a gun at my head and said you'd kill me
Phillip Bauer : I would've never hurt you
Josh Bauer : I heard you say it
Phillip Bauer : I had to make sound convincing: to you and to Jack. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten away but I wouldn't hurt you, not for anything
Josh Bauer : What'd you want from me?
Phillip Bauer : To protect you
Josh Bauer : From what?
Phillip Bauer : From your father's mistakes. If you stay here, they'll never let you forget what your father did. I'm taking you away from this ungrateful country: someplace we can both start over
Josh Bauer : Where?
Phillip Bauer : China. Within a decade, they will have surpassed this country in every possible way. We can be part of it. I'm going to give you the future I promised you when you were born
Josh Bauer : I don't know what the hell you're talking about
Phillip Bauer : No, I didn't think you would but you will. I'll explain everything when I see you. Right now all I need is for you to keep an "open mind"

Tom Lennox : [Talking privately, to Daniels, referring to his cell phone] I've got a Philip Bauer holding for you on a scrambled line
Karen Hayes : [Surprised] what? What does he want?
Tom Lennox : I don't know: his in league with the Chinese, I think we need to hear him out?
Vice President Noah Daniels : [to Tom] put him on speaker
Vice President Noah Daniels : Mr. Bauer
Phillip Bauer : Thank you for taking my call Mr. Vice President
Vice President Noah Daniels : What's this about?
Phillip Bauer : I think you know what this is about
Vice President Noah Daniels : Tell me anyway so there's no miscommunication
Phillip Bauer : I want my grandson and I want a clear passage to a country of my choice. If you give me that, I'll give you the FB sub circuit board
Vice President Noah Daniels : You're working with the Chinese
Phillip Bauer : I was: they had their chance, they blew it
Vice President Noah Daniels : How do I know you even have this component?
Phillip Bauer : [while reading off the circuit board] the serial number is 3PTL3, check it on any records you have
Vice President Noah Daniels : [after Tom shows him a schematic of the circuit from his PDA] do you realize what you're asking?
Phillip Bauer : I'm offering you the opportunity of avoiding a conflict this country does not want: a war this country cannot afford, not after what's happened today. I'll send my instructions on an encrypted data stream
Vice President Noah Daniels : [Before Philip abruptly hangs up] Mr. Bauer...
Karen Hayes : Sir, you are not seriously considering this. Philip Bauer is a federal fugitive, complicit in selling nuclear weapons to terrorists
Vice President Noah Daniels : I know what crimes his committed
Karen Hayes : Then how can you even entertain the thought of negotiating with him?
Vice President Noah Daniels : Because maybe we can't afford not to
Karen Hayes : We are talking about trading the life of an innocent young boy
Vice President Noah Daniels : We're talking about the lives of a lot more young men if we go to war with Russia
Karen Hayes : And you think Philip Bauer is somebody we can trust? The man is a sociopath
Vice President Noah Daniels : [Asking for his opinion] Tom?
Tom Lennox : He is a sociopath: she's right about that. Given the stakes, this is a risk worth taking sir
Vice President Noah Daniels : None of this makes sense, everything we know about Suvarov tells us the man wouldn't risk a military engagement even for this piece of technology
Tom Lennox : Unless his being squeezed
Vice President Noah Daniels : By who? His cabinet?
Tom Lennox : I don't know, the military. Gredenko was not the only anti-American general left over from the Soviet regime
Karen Hayes : Yes, some of them are still in power and Suvarov does rely on them
Vice President Noah Daniels : [to both of them] so you think these generals are looking for an excuse to pull the trigger?
Tom Lennox : Well, it certainly sounds plausible sir
