(Based off of a
scene from 24's Season/Day 6-Episode 2)
Jack Bauer:
Mr. President, you
don't want to
kill Assad! Abu Fayed is the one behind these attacks!
President Wayne Palmer: I'm sorry, Jack, but our current evidence suggests that this is all the doing of Hamri Al-Assad. You do not have any conclusive evidence that Fayed is behind this.
Jack Bauer: Sir, I just escaped from Fayed! He told me that and I refused to
die for nothing so I broke free to save Assad!
President Wayne Palmer: I'm sorry, Jack. Truly I am.
Jack Bauer: Damn it!
