- Tony Almeida: Are your people ready?
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah, their waiting
- Tony Almeida: What about Chloe?
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah, she's there too
- Tony Almeida: Alright this is our one chance to get the virus so make sure their all aware of what's at stake
- Michelle Dessler: Their aware
- Tony Almeida: I'm just saying it's all going to come down in the next hour
- Michelle Dessler: I know, you don't have to keep reminding me
- Tony Almeida: [Aggressively] yes, I do
- Tony Almeida: Look, too many things could go wrong here and we don't need another mistake
- Tony Almeida: [Realizes he needs to calm down and takes a breath] so, have we had any communication from Jack in the last few minutes?
- Michelle Dessler: No, his still with Nina and the Salazar's
- Tony Almeida: [Before walking away] alright
- Sherry Palmer: I just want you to know I'm leaving
- President David Palmer: [Closes the door to the conference room] this leverage you have with Milliken
- Sherry Palmer: I told you it's better that you don't know the details right now
- President David Palmer: Alright, Aaron told me you refused Secret Service escort?
- Sherry Palmer: Yes, that's only because the person I'm going to see might get scared. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself
- President David Palmer: I know you can
- Sherry Palmer: I still believe in your Presidency and if Alan Milliken is threatening your ability to lead this country, he will be stopped
- Tony Almeida: [Pointing to a map on a monitor] Amador will bring the virus to this location in thirty minutes: we have Delta teams two minutes away to intercept the package as soon as Jack confirms and contains the virus
- Michelle Dessler: Is Jack's transmitter working yet?
- Tony Almeida: No, we're using Chase. His moving into a forward covert position to give us confirmation, he'll be able to transmit sound to us and to the Delta teams
- Michelle Dessler: Who's running his COMM?
- Chloe O'Brian: I am, there wasn't any protocol in place so I wrote a software grid, and I'm amplifying the low frequency audio signal and relaying it out
- Michelle Dessler: Ok good
- Tony Almeida: After that, Chase will let us know when the transaction's complete and Jack has the virus at which point our units will move in taking full precaution to keep that virus safe
- Nina Myers: [Referring to Jack] his setting you up: I can prove it
- Ramon Salazar: Really? How?
- Nina Myers: I was at CTU for seven years, I know the protocols. I know how they'll "play" this
- Ramon Salazar: I'm listening
- Nina Myers: Their TACT teams won't be too close, they'll have one man doing reconnaissance. I bet his watching us right now
- Ramon Salazar: And you know where that man will be?
- Nina Myers: Straight ahead there's some high ground, I bet his there or ninety degrees to the west of the tree line
- Ramon Salazar: We'll know soon enough
- Adam Kaufman: I need you to go over these format changes
- Kim Bauer: Yeah, here, you're going to need these files for the repagination: they're not on the hard drive
- Adam Kaufman: [Noticing Angela behind her desk] what is that?
- Kim Bauer: It's a baby
- Adam Kaufman: Yeah, I can see it's a baby, whose baby is it?
- Kim Bauer: Chloe's
- Adam Kaufman: Chloe's?
- Kim Bauer: Her babysitter must've had some family emergency
- Adam Kaufman: Chloe doesn't have a baby
- Kim Bauer: Of course she does
- Adam Kaufman: Umm, no she doesn't, I did the search when they hired her. I did a background check, personal histories, and medical histories: the whole thing
- Kim Bauer: And she's never had a baby?
- Adam Kaufman: No. it's definitely not her kid
- Ramon Salazar: No more lies from you: Amador will be here in fifteen minutes, confirm he has the virus, get him his money, and bring the virus back to us. You'll have one of my men acting as your bodyguard, if you try to escape or communicate anything to Amador, he will kill you. If he misses, there are three men in the hills with sniper rifles aimed at your head. If you want to live, make sure this deal happens
- Nina Myers: Understood
- Ramon Salazar: Good
- Chloe O'Brian: How's Angela?
- Kim Bauer: Adam just told me you're not the mother of this child: who does the baby belong to?
- Chloe O'Brian: [sighs] my boyfriend Eric
- Kim Bauer: Eric
- Chloe O'Brian: Binder, his name's Eric Binder
- Kim Bauer: So why isn't he taking care of his daughter?
- Chloe O'Brian: Because it's the first place his ex-wife would look. His ex-wife has custody of the baby. A few weeks ago, she started seeing this guy with a drinking problem and then found out this guy was abusing the baby physically
- Kim Bauer: So, why doesn't the ex-wife dump the boyfriend?
- Chloe O'Brian: Apparently she's in some kind of "denial"
- Kim Bauer: So why doesn't he call Child Protective Services?
- Chloe O'Brian: Eric has, he saw a social worker this morning but she couldn't make it out until tomorrow. His afraid by then it'll be too late
- Kim Bauer: Wait, so his "kidnapping" Angela?
- Chloe O'Brian: Technically, but just for tonight
- Kim Bauer: Well, I don't care, kidnapping is a felony
- Chloe O'Brian: You want to call the police? Then go ahead and call the police but if this child is returned to its mother and something bad happens then that's on you, so think about that, think about it!
- Michelle Dessler: [Walking up to them] Chloe, Tony needs you. Chase is transmitting from his location
- Chloe O'Brian: I'll be down in a minute
- Michelle Dessler: No he needs you now
- Michelle Dessler: [to both of them] is there a problem?
- Kim Bauer: No, no problem
- Michelle Dessler: [Before walking away] good
- Sherry Palmer: [after knocking on the door to his trailer] Mr. Kelly?
- Kevin Kelly: Yeah, come on in
- Sherry Palmer: We appreciate your help on this
- Kevin Kelly: "We" meaning you and the President right?
- Sherry Palmer: I am representing the President on this, yes
- Kevin Kelly: So, what can I tell you?
- Sherry Palmer: You can tell me what really happened
- Kevin Kelly: What'd you think happened?
- Sherry Palmer: I think Alan Milliken was driving the car that hit and killed your daughter twelve years ago
- Kevin Kelly: [Nervously] I wouldn't know
- Sherry Palmer: You testified you didn't see anything but I think you did and I think you did that because I think what you saw implicates Milliken
- Sherry Palmer: [Hands him a piece of paper] three weeks after your daughter death, an account was set up in your name at Marathon Bank and a large deposit was made. That was to keep your mouth shut wasn't it? This is a chance for you to set everything right
- Kevin Kelly: Yeah I saw Milliken driving the car that night, I got the license plate and everything but when I told that to the cop, he takes me aside and he says "Your daughter's dead, there's nothing you can do about that now, better to keep your mouth shut, there's a payoff: a big one." So, I said I didn't see who killed my daughter. It was blood money and I took it
- Sherry Palmer: We are going to have a press conference and you're going to have a chance to tell your story to everyone
- Kevin Kelly: I'm not going to be doing this for nothing
- Sherry Palmer: Ok, that's alright, how much money are we...?
- Kevin Kelly: [Interrupts her, shakes his head] no, I don't want money, I've already made a mistake
- Sherry Palmer: Ok I'm sorry, then what do you want?
- Kevin Kelly: My son, my only living child. His doing a prison term, a life sentence. I want the President to pardon him
- Sherry Palmer: What was he convicted for?
- Kevin Kelly: Murder, his all I've got. You get him out of prison, I'll tell anyone who wants to listen what really happened that night
- President David Palmer: [Over the speakerphone with Wayne nearby] you want me to pardon this man's son? A convicted murderer?
- Sherry Palmer: I know I'm asking a lot but unless you pardon Kelly's son for that crime, his not going to help us
- President David Palmer: And how exactly is he going to help us?
- Sherry Palmer: Twelve years ago Kelly was paid off not to come forward as a witness against Milliken
- President David Palmer: What did he witness?
- Sherry Palmer: Milliken killing his daughter while driving drunk, then drove off: a hit and run. Kelly was the only one who saw it then Milliken's people got to him before the police report was filed
- President David Palmer: And he'll swear to this?
- Sherry Palmer: All you have to do is pardon his son, his name is Patrick Kelly. His already served four years of a life sentence
- President David Palmer: I don't know, I'll have to get back to you on this
- Sherry Palmer: Just hurry ok?
- President David Palmer: [after hanging up] what'd you think?
- Wayne Palmer: You know what I think, you shouldn't be involved in this. Give into Milliken and accept my resignation and he'll back off...
- President David Palmer: [Interrupts him] I told you I am not Milliken's puppet and I will not let him dictate my decisions
- Wayne Palmer: Right but you'll let your ex-wife grant a quid pro quo pardon to a convicted murderer? She's been back in your life for only a few hours and look what's happening
- President David Palmer: I would think you would be in favor of what she's proposing?
- Wayne Palmer: [Surprised] of what? Abusing the power of your office? Absolutely not. Absolutely not, it is wrong
- President David Palmer: When you wanted me to pay hush money to Anne's ex-husband, that was justified?
- Wayne Palmer: You know I have your best interest at heart, you know that
- President David Palmer: Your loyalty which I am grateful for, does not change the fact when someone wants to get down in the mud, the only way to fight back is to get down with them
- Wayne Palmer: So you're going to grant the pardon?
- President David Palmer: I don't know what I'm going to
- Tony Almeida: [Talking privately] ok, what is it?
- Tony Almeida: There's something you need to know...
- Tony Almeida: [Interrupts her] if this is about Chloe's baby, I don't have time to deal with this right now
- Kim Bauer: It's not her baby: Chloe does not have a baby and frankly I think she's delusional
- Tony Almeida: What're you talking about?
- Kim Bauer: Look, Chloe does not have a child. I confronted her and she said this was her boyfriend's baby and the mother of this child was letting her get abused and I spoke to Child Protective Services and they there was no abuse claim filed
- Tony Almeida: Your sure?
- Kim Bauer: Positive
- Tony Almeida: Have to talked to Chloe since you found this out?
- Kim Bauer: No, when I confronted her, she was on the verge of losing it, this is what I'm worried about. I think she's unstable
- Tony Almeida: I need you to take a step back here
- Kim Bauer: My father and Chase's life are in her hands
- Tony Almeida: That's exactly why we can't do anything about this right now
- Kim Bauer: What'd you mean?
- Tony Almeida: Chloe is our only life line on what's going on down there. She's the only one in this office capable of filtering audio streams Chase is sending us
- Kim Bauer: If Chloe is unstable...
- Tony Almeida: [Interrupts her] we don't have an alternative right now. We have got to keep her in place
- Kim Bauer: What about the baby? Whoever are her parents must be going out of their minds right now
- Tony Almeida: You're going to take care of that baby until this operation is over. I do not want Chloe distracted, I'm not happy about this either, just hope that Chloe holds it together. We'll deal with the baby once we get possession of the virus
- Wayne Palmer: [Over the phone] give me an update on this
- Tony Almeida: The exchange of the virus hasn't happened yet but we expect it to go down at any moment
- Wayne Palmer: The Pentagon is furious they have to play catch up and I sure as hell don't blame them, now this operation began as a "secret" between three CTU agents and again I will lead their raid when this is over. The President will hold all three of you accountable
- Tony Almeida: I understand sir but if you're calling just to reprimand me, you're doing both of us a disservice. I need to focus on this operation
- Wayne Palmer: This operation, how large is it?
- Tony Almeida: We have half a dozen Delta teams are waiting in the area for the signal to go in
- Wayne Palmer: Will that be sufficient?
- Tony Almeida: It has to be: anymore bodies down there, we run the risk of being spotted
- Wayne Palmer: Tell me exactly what's going to happen?
- Tony Almeida: We don't have time for this
- Wayne Palmer: you asked for the President's support for this and he has. Now you went way out on the limb for this and he wants to know what the plan is?
- Tony Almeida: Michael Amador, the seller will hand the virus over to Nina Meyers. Now he doesn't know Nina Meyers is under our control, once the exchange happens the Delta teams will move in, secure the virus, take Nina Meyers, Michael Amador, and Ramon Salazar into custody
- Wayne Palmer: Sounds like an awful lot of things are going to have to go perfectly
- Tony Almeida: That's true, we're pretty sure we have our basis covered
- Wayne Palmer: [Before hanging up] "Pretty sure" isn't good enough. You make this happen
- Tony Almeida: Yes sir
