Quotes 

• Judge Ruffin : [Unintentionally mispronouncing his name]  Sergei Bazhaev

  Sergei Bazhaev's Attorney : [Respectfully correcting him]  Bazhaev, your honor, we'd like to waive reading

  Judge Ruffin : I'm sure you would, given the charges here. I'm going to tell you right now, I'm going to deny bail

  Sergei Bazhaev's Attorney : Sergei Bazhaev is a "business man" with deep ties to this community

  Judge Ruffin : His a foreign national

  Sergei Bazhaev's Attorney : That's true your honor but he has continuously lived in this country since 1985, his "entire" family lives here. In fact, several members of his family are represented here in court today: his wife, daughter in law, grandson for whom incidentally he is the sole means of support

  Judge Ruffin : According to the charges, he's their sole support because he killed the boy's father: not to mention the other counts, trafficking nuclear materials, assassination, and conspiracy. Like I said, I'm going to deny bail. I'm remanding him to Marion immediately

• Sergei Bazhaev : [Talking privately]  if you touch my family, I swear to God...

  Judge Ruffin : [Interrupts him]  you're not sitting in the right chair to be making threats. Who shot Renee Walker?

  Sergei Bazhaev : [Confused]  I don't know that name

  Judge Ruffin : She was a former FBI agent. Approximately six years ago, she worked undercover in your organization, earlier today she recognized one of your men was Red Square

  Sergei Bazhaev : There is no Red Square: not anymore

  Judge Ruffin : Let me explain myself, this agent, Renee Walker, I considered her to be "my" family. So take a long hard look into my eyes, and realize I have no problem taking out each one of yours before they even get home today... unless I get the information I want

  Sergei Bazhaev : Whoever killed her had nothing to do with me

  Judge Ruffin : [Sarcastically, referring to the penitentiary]  enjoy your time in Marion... I'll tell your wife and daughter in law you said hello

  Sergei Bazhaev : If I tell you, they'll kill my family anyway

  Judge Ruffin : We'll provide you with witness protection, I give you my word

  Sergei Bazhaev : Moscow, the Russian government, their behind it: not me. Everything that happened today, all of it, was them

  Judge Ruffin : Who inside the government?

  Sergei Bazhaev : I don't know

  Judge Ruffin : What'd you mean you don't know? You're talking about a hundred thousand people, I need names

  Sergei Bazhaev : I don't know names, they never let me get close. The woman working with them arranged everything

  Judge Ruffin : What woman?

  Sergei Bazhaev : The one that "planted" at CTU... Dana Walsh
