David Zayas: Antonio Vargas

Quotes 

• Assistant Director In Charge Rina Trenholm : Disable the bombs now, and we will take the death penalty off the table.

  Antonio Vargas : Your offer is life in a steel cage? I don't think so. First, it's impossible to evacuate Grand Central Station and the surrounding areas in less than two hours. It'll take you five, maybe more. Second, let's imagine that you're right, that you can miraculously clear out every single person in the area. The bombs would still destroy one of New York's most famous landmarks, and at least 20 other buildings in a half a block radius. We didn't just stick those bombs anywhere. We hired a structural engineer to tell us exactly where to place them. You are going to release me. I know, and you know it. So please, let's cut out all this needless bluffing and posturing. You did it the last time. You'll do it again.

• Antonio Vargas : You still think I haven't taken steps to protect myself?

  Assistant Director In Charge Rina Trenholm : No. You're not bluffing your way out of New York this time. So please, save your empty threats.

  Antonio Vargas : Oh, they're not hollow. I have three bombs hidden in Grand Central Station. 750,000 people walk by them each and every day. They've been there for two months, just in case I got caught and was extradited here to New York. The second my plane landed here, the timer was set. They will explode today at 3:00 p.m. Unless I disable them, of course.
