Badass-ness of the Day

A&E is showing 24 in order at 11 a.m. pacific time, and as of yesterday they started on Day 2. This episode has maybe my favorite Jack Bauer line ever. In case you don't remember the context there is a nuclear bomb somewhere in L.A. and CTU believes that someone that Jack put into prison while Jack was undercover has information about the bomb. The problem is that as Jack put this guy into prison he's not likely to trust him.
Jack directs that the prime witness in a trial against Wald be brought into CTU. What follows is godlike in its awesome badassity.

{Marshall Goren is being brought into the conference room. He sits down as Jack asks Michelle to leave. She exits}

JACK BAUER: You are Marshall Goren?

MARSHALL GOREN: Yes.

JACK BAUER: Eight counts kidnapping a minor, two counts child pornography.

MARSHALL GOREN: Yeah, hey look I already made my deal. I testify against Wald and I walk.

[Jack pulls out his gun and blasts a bullet through Goren's heart}

GEORGE MASON: OH GOD........JACK ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

JACK BAUER: YOU WANNA FIND THIS BOMB, THIS IS WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE!

GEORGE MASON: Killing a witness?

JACK BAUER: That's the thing about people like you George, you don't want to get your hands dirty. I’d start rolling up your sleeves.............I'm gonna need a hacksaw.

There are very good reasons why Jack Bauer is considered God.
