- Dr. Nicole Duncan: How you doing?
- Jack Bauer: I'm ok, how you've been?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: Until to this afternoon I was fine. I tried to reach you when I found out about Teri
- Jack Bauer: Yeah I know. After that, I just kind of withdrew but I appreciated the calls. We should get going
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: I just finished running Macer's epidemiological model, her estimates were off
- Jack Bauer: Better or worse than we thought?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: Twice as bad, she had nine percent of the population within a week but its closer to twenty percent and the infection mortality rate is higher than her estimate, almost ninety-five percent lethal. I've been studying germs for twelve years and I've never seen anything like this
- Jack Bauer: [Sarcastically] great
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: Are you feeling ok?
- Jack Bauer: Yeah, why?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: You're perspiring
- Jack Bauer: It's been nonstop since noon. Look, we're going to be about eight minutes out. It'd be great if we can go over the quarantine protocols before we get there
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: No problem
- Kyle Singer: Hey, how was the interview?
- Sam Singer: Fine
- Kyle Singer: What's up dad?
- Sam Singer: Your mother told me you paid the rent: the three months we owed?
- Kyle Singer: Yeah I came into a little money
- Sam Singer: How does a nineteen year old who doesn't have a job come into a "little money"?
- Kyle Singer: Tim and I went down to the track the other day. He knows this guy over at the stables so I got a tip
- Sam Singer: [Sternly] where did you get the money?
- Kyle Singer: Dad, what does it matter? Honestly, the rent's paid for three months alright? So the pressure's off us now
- Sam Singer: Did you do something illegal?
- Kyle Singer: No. I told you we went to Santa Anita and we got lucky
- Sam Singer: Don't lie to me, I got enough to worry about. Now this is my house, I pay the rent, I take care of you and your mother
- Kyle Singer: [while walking away] when you get that job, you can go ahead and pay me back alright?
- Sam Singer: Wait a second, we're not done here
- Kyle Singer: No, we're done here
- Sam Singer: [Yelling] don't walk away from me
- Kyle Singer: You should be thanking me instead of crawling up my ass
- Tony Almeida: [During a meeting] his name's Kyle Singer, we think his transporting the virus but it's likely he doesn't know what his carrying
- Adam Kaufman: How could he not know?
- Tony Almeida: Health Services believes the virus was made to look like heroin or cocaine. We know that Kyle Singer was hired to deliver a package from Mexico to a dealer in Los Angeles
- Michelle Dessler: He thinks his smuggling drugs
- Tony Almeida: That's the working theory. Now here's the thing: once Singer delivers that bag of powder, it gets cut up and distributed throughout the city. At that point, it becomes impossible to contain
- Adam Kaufman: Is LAPD grabbing Singer?
- Tony Almeida: No
- Adam Kaufman: Why not? Can't they get there faster?
- Tony Almeida: LAPD is not trained to handle a hot zone. Jack Bauer is going to go in with a team from Health Services, we're going to run the operation from here, updating the President in real time. Now we have to approach Singer with "care", he has no idea how deadly the powder is
- Helen Singer: He said he won the money at the track
- Sam Singer: He can up come up with a better lie than that
- Helen Singer: Maybe he was telling the truth
- Sam Singer: Oh, come on
- Sam Singer: [while Kyle tries to walk past him] where are you going? What's in the bag?
- Kyle Singer: Clothes
- Sam Singer: Well, open it
- Kyle Singer: What?
- Sam Singer: Open the bag. I'm warning you: open that bag or I'm going to open it myself
- Kyle Singer: [Looks at his mother] ma?
- Helen Singer: Listen to your father
- Kyle Singer: It's none of his business
- Sam Singer: As long as it's in my house, it's my business
- Kyle Singer: Your house? This isn't your house, you can't even pay the rent
- Helen Singer: [Chastising him for talking back to his father] oh, Kyle
- Kyle Singer: [after grabs his father grabs the bag away and begins to look through it] will you quit snooping please?
- Sam Singer: [Pushes Kyle back] don't even think about it
- Sam Singer: [Holding a bag of white powder after removing it from the bag] what is this? Coke? Heroin?
- Kyle Singer: Give it back
- Sam Singer: What'd you say?
- Kyle Singer: I need it
- Sam Singer: What'd you mean you need it? What're you? Some kind of junkie?
- Kyle Singer: No. I'm just delivering it for this guy, if I don't get it to him...
- Sam Singer: [Interrupts him] who?
- Kyle Singer: Just a guy ok?
- Sam Singer: [Raises his voice] who? Give me a name
- Helen Singer: Kyle, answer your father
- Kim Bauer: I thought you were supposed to be with my dad?
- Chase Edmunds: I was: he sent me back here
- Kim Bauer: Why?
- Chase Edmunds: Question Parker
- Kim Bauer: Parker? He already turned in Kyle Singer, what else are you going to get from him?
- Chase Edmunds: Nothing and that's the point
- Kim Bauer: I don't understand
- Chase Edmunds: Your dad's sidelining me. His making me sit out
- Kim Bauer: Why?
- Chase Edmunds: Why do you think?
- Kim Bauer: Because of us?
- Kim Bauer: [after he remains silent] I'm sorry
- Chase Edmunds: He says his protecting me but I'm not the one his trying to protect here
- Kim Bauer: You're not blaming me are you?
- Chase Edmunds: Look, all I'm saying is we shouldn't have told him
- Kim Bauer: What were we suppose to do? Keep sneaking around until someone catches us?
- Chase Edmunds: We could've waited
- Kim Bauer: Until when? He would have the response whenever we told him
- Chase Edmunds: I got to deal with this kid Parker
- Ramon Salazar: [while in his cell] did you ask your friend Jack Bauer what's going on?
- Ramon Salazar: [as Luis remains silent] you did, didn't you? But he wouldn't say: it must be very frustrating being kept in the dark
- Luis Annicon: You have something to tell me?
- Ramon Salazar: I asked you here didn't I?
- Luis Annicon: Then start talking because you used up my patience an hour ago
- Ramon Salazar: You are like a dog with a bone without a leash, once you bite down you don't let go. When I'm out of here, they won't want you on me anymore
- Luis Annicon: When you're out of here?
- Ramon Salazar: You are right, in a few hours I'm going home
- Luis Annicon: Really? And how will you manage that?
- Ramon Salazar: Hector's a good brother
- Luis Annicon: Unless his got a key to this place, you're not going anywhere
- Ramon Salazar: But he does have a key. When he turns it, the last two years of your life, all the hours you spent away from your family, all the work you've done to put me here will go away just like that. I wanted you to hear it from me Luis. I wanted it to be the last thing you ever heard
- Ramon Salazar: [to Jeff after Jeff suffocates Luis] your son will be returned to you now
- President David Palmer: [Handing him Keeler's play book] I hope you can get a refund
- Wayne Palmer: A refund?
- President David Palmer: From whomever sold you that load of crap
- Wayne Palmer: Keeler is going to use this against you in this debate, now ignoring it is not going to make it go away
- President David Palmer: Neither will dignifying it with a response
- Wayne Palmer: His going to "claim" Anne perjured herself in case you've forgotten is a felony
- President David Palmer: Anne is no felon
- Wayne Palmer: The allegation itself is enough to damage you. Now come on please think, you know you can't go into this debate without some kind of response
- President David Palmer: What'd you propose?
- Wayne Palmer: Talk to Anne: make sure she's told you everything
- President David Palmer: She has told me everything
- Wayne Palmer: Are you sure?
- President David Palmer: Ever since I started seeing Anne, you've taken every chance to undermine our relationship just because you don't like her
- Wayne Palmer: Absolutely right, I don't like her. This isn't about me and Anne, this is about you and Anne. Now if she has nothing to hide, then fine she has nothing to hide. You better find out before you face off with Keeler on national television
- Sam Singer: I'm just saying Kyle is in over his head
- Helen Singer: We're not calling our lawyer: he hasn't even been arrested
- Sam Singer: Not yet
- Helen Singer: Maybe he won't be. If we leave it alone, don't do anything, maybe this whole thing will just go away
- Sam Singer: You can't be serious
- Helen Singer: Why not? Why do we have to let anyone know?
- Sam Singer: Because it's against the law not to
- Helen Singer: What'd you suggest we do? Call the police? Maybe they'll give us a reward so we can pay our rent? That wasn't fair. I'm sorry
- Dr. Anne Packard: Wayne said you wanted to see me: what's wrong?
- President David Palmer: Keeler, his bringing your ex-husband into this debate: the SEC's investigation into his company
- Dr. Anne Packard: He was convicted and served his sentence, you know that
- President David Palmer: I know what you told me
- Dr. Anne Packard: I told you everything there is to know. Ted's company was introducing a hypertension drug...
- President David Palmer: [Interrupts her] and you reviewed the research?
- Dr. Anne Packard: Yes
- President David Palmer: Which turned out later to have been fabricated?
- Dr. Anne Packard: Which Ted knew at the time and I didn't
- President David Palmer: Now's Ted's claiming you both knew
- Dr. Anne Packard: He can't reverse himself eight years after his given sworn testimony
- President David Palmer: Well, he is. And his willing to go on the record with the press
- Dr. Anne Packard: I don't know what to say except his a liar
- President David Palmer: It's your word against his
- Dr. Anne Packard: You have reason to be suspicious. God knows you've been betrayed by some of the people you trusted most, but I'm not Sherry. I told you the whole truth once and I'm not going to defend it because anything less would be complete trust between us
- President David Palmer: I do trust you
- Dr. Anne Packard: You should
- Tony Almeida: [Over the phone] have you had a chance to take a look over Nicole's field report yet?
- Dr. Sunny Macer: Yeah, I'm all done
- Tony Almeida: What are your impressions?
- Dr. Sunny Macer: Based on what I read so far: I'm optimistic
- Tony Almeida: So you think we'll be able to contain the virus?
- Dr. Sunny Macer: The very least, we should be able to limit the causalities
- Tony Almeida: Even though the virus is airborne?
- Dr. Sunny Macer: Well, there is some risk of it spreading but Nicole's team acted fast: they evacuated and sealed off the apartment building and quarantined the Singers
- Tony Almeida: When do we get their test results?
- Dr. Sunny Macer: Five minutes, ten tops
- Tony Almeida: So looks like we lucked out
- Dr. Sunny Macer: Yeah we deserve a little luck
- Tony Almeida: Alright I've got to go. Make sure you keep me in the loop alright?
- Dr. Sunny Macer: Alright you do the same
- Jack Bauer: [while wearing a hazmat suit] Mr. and Mrs. Singer?
- Sam Singer: What the hell is going on here? This is not just about drugs
- Jack Bauer: I think you've been exposed to a virus
- Sam Singer: A virus?
- Jack Bauer: It's called Cordilla Virus, we think your son carried it in from Mexico without knowing it
- Sam Singer: What'd you mean "carried it in"? How?
- Jack Bauer: He thought he was carrying drugs
- Sam Singer: So we've been exposed?
- Jack Bauer: 'I'm afraid so
- Sam Singer: What does that mean? Are we sick?
- Jack Bauer: We're going to have to keep you quarantined until we get the results back from your test
- Jack Bauer: [Answering his phone inside the helmet in the hazmat suit] yeah this is Bauer
- Tony Almeida: It's Tony
- Jack Bauer: I think Kyle Singer's been exposed
- Tony Almeida: Yeah, we've already got an all points out on him
- Jack Bauer: Have you set up a perimeter?
- Tony Almeida: We're doing everything we can to contain this thing: all agencies, all departments are in the loop on a "need to know" basis
- Jack Bauer: Ok good work
- Tony Almeida: Listen, I know this isn't the best time to tell you this but I just got some bad news you want to know about
- Jack Bauer: What's wrong?
- Tony Almeida: Luis Annicon was murdered
- Jack Bauer: Murdered? How?
- Tony Almeida: Salazar's guard. We got him in custody, he claims Salazar has his son kidnapped and threatened to kill him if he didn't do it. I'm sorry, I know you two worked closely on this case
- Jack Bauer: What the hell are you doing? You haven't showered down yet
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: We're not at risk
- Jack Bauer: What're you talking about? I watched the powder get out
- Jack Bauer: It's harmless, some of silicate: that's all
- Jack Bauer: What?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: There is no virus in the powder, we tested five samples, and there weren't even trace sample amounts. Atmospheric and surface analysis also came up negative and Kyle's parents tested negative as well
- Jack Bauer: You're sure about this?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: The only thing I'm not sure about is if we're on the right trail
- Jack Bauer: No, the body that was dropped off at Health Services was linked to Kyle Singer. Why would Salazar's people pay him to bring across a bag of worthless powder?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: Fine, but where do we even start looking?
- Jack Bauer: I don't know. Wait a second, Macer said the only way to transfer the virus was in crystalline form right?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: Yeah, that's the only way it could survive outside a living body
- Jack Bauer: What if it was never outside a living body?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: What'd you mean?
- Jack Bauer: What if the virus was transported inside a living host? What if Kyle Singer was infected in Mexico this morning before he even left?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: But Salazar has no leverage if Singer is walking around infecting people
- Jack Bauer: That's the point. He wouldn't be contagious yet
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: The incubation period is fourteen hours
- Jack Bauer: Right. Think about it, we know for a fact Kyle Singer was in Mexico eleven hours ago, Hector Salazar hasn't threatened to release the virus for another three hours. The math adds up
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: We need to find Kyle Singer
- Linda: [Over the phone] I told you. I have nothing to say to you
- Kyle Singer: No, listen to me. I'm in trouble
- Linda: Yeah because you're dealing drugs. What happened?
- Kyle Singer: My dad found the stuff: we got into a fight, I split but his still got it. I've got to get this to them alright? These guys are hard core. I've got to make it right
- Linda: Make it right? How?
- Kyle Singer: I don't know I was thinking maybe I could pay them enough you know? Keep them off my back
- Linda: You want me to give you money?
- Kyle Singer: No, just borrow
- Linda: How much?
- Kyle Singer: It's about twenty grand on the street
- Linda: I don't have that kind of money
- Kyle Singer: Didn't you say your dad keeps some cash around the house?
- Linda: Not that much
- Kyle Singer: Listen to me. These guys will kill me if I don't give them something, please, anything will help right now
- Linda: Now you want me to get involved in this?
- Kyle Singer: Just let me borrow something, anything. I'll pay you back, I swear to God
- Linda: Where are you?
- Kyle Singer: I'm at the mall
- Linda: I'll get there as soon as I can
- Wayne Palmer: I just spoke to Anne's ex-husband: all Ted Packer wants is money. If we pay him off, he'll recant before this debate
- President David Palmer: That's blackmail
- Wayne Palmer: That's business
- President David Palmer: I don't think so
- Wayne Palmer: It's a hell of a lot cheaper than trying to defend against this allegation which is going to hurt you
- President David Palmer: I've faced down worse lies. I think I've earned some credibility
- Wayne Palmer: You saw the polls this morning because Keeler is closing the gap. Now this race is much closer than it should be, listen, I know it's distasteful but in cost-benefit terms it's a no brainer
- President David Palmer: Anne won't think so
- Wayne Palmer: Anne doesn't have to know
- President David Palmer: I can't keep it from her
- Wayne Palmer: That's your choice but if it comes out, Anne will find herself on the front page of every newspaper in this country and she's not Sherry, she's not equipped to handle that kind of scrutiny and you will not be able to protect her from it. Now between this debate and the threat of this outbreak, you have enough to worry about. Don't be a martyr, keep it simple. We could have the money within the hour
- President David Palmer: Do it
- Sam Singer: What's going on? They don't have their suits on, what does that mean? Are we ok?
- Jack Bauer: Yes, the powder was harmless
- Helen Singer: Oh, thank God
- Sam Singer: So you put us through all this for nothing: you scared the hell out of us
- Jack Bauer: Mr. Singer, we still need to find your son, is there anything you can tell us that could help?
- Sam Singer: Why? You just said the powder was harmless
- Jack Bauer: We believe your son was infected with the virus earlier this morning before he came home. We have three hours to find him before he becomes contagious
- Sam Singer: What're you saying? That our son could die?
- Jack Bauer: Yes, that could happen
- Helen Singer: Oh, God
- Jack Bauer: I know how this must be difficult for you and I'm sorry but we need to find your son and we need to find him now
- Sam Singer: Have you tried his cell phone?
- Jack Bauer: Yes, the line's been disconnected
- Helen Singer: Oh wait, he took my phone this morning
- Jack Bauer: What's the number?
- Helen Singer: 818-555-0103
- Jack Bauer: [while taking out his cell phone to call CTU] ok, I'm going to need one of you to call him
- Sam Singer: This is my fault. Kyle wouldn't have done any of this if I couldn't take care of my own family
- Helen Singer: No
- Sam Singer: Yes you know it's true
- Jack Bauer: [Over the phone] it's Jack
- Tony Almeida: I just spoke to LAPD, they got a priority APB on Singer
- Jack Bauer: Ok good. I think we got a number on him
- Tony Almeida: Ok we'll thread the line through a tracing matrix
- Jack Bauer: Ok the number is 818-555-0103. I want you to reroute the call back to my cell phone
- Tony Almeida: [to Kim] I need you to trace that number and reroute the call back to Jack's cell phone
- Jack Bauer: [to Kyle's parents] I'm going to need one of you to make the call now. I need you to keep him on the line as long as possible so we can trace it
- Sam Singer: What am I suppose to tell him?
- Jack Bauer: The truth
- Sam Singer: [Over the phone, while Jack listens and CTU traces the call] it's your father
- Kyle Singer: Dad?
- Sam Singer: We need to talk
- Kyle Singer: Look, I don't know what you want to talk about. I know how pissed off you are ok?
- Sam Singer: Whatever you did: I know you were just trying to help out your mom and me
- Kyle Singer: Yeah look, unless you want to give back the stuff you took, I've got to deal with this situation ok?
- Sam Singer: Please, don't hang up. Please? Listen to me, what I'm telling you is important, please, you have to come home
- Kyle Singer: Why do you sound different?
- Sam Singer: I need you to trust me on something I'm about to tell you
- Kyle Singer: Dad?
- Sam Singer: You may have gotten a virus, something you picked up in Mexico
- Kyle Singer: What? How did you know I was in Mexico?
- Sam Singer: It doesn't matter and you may be sick and if you are, you need to be checked out by a doctor
- Kyle Singer: Look, I don't know what you're talking about but I feel fine
- Sam Singer: I know it sounds crazy but it's real, now there are some people they're trying to help
- Kyle Singer: [Surprised] cops?
- Jack Bauer: Tony, you got a lock on this trace? We're going to lose this kid
- Tony Almeida: [to Kim] how much longer?
- Kim Bauer: I've got a cell tower but it's got a three mile radius
- Kyle Singer: I can't believe this. One minute you tell me you love me, the next minute you sell me out to some cops
- Sam Singer: They're not the police. They're just trying to stop this virus before it becomes an outbreak
- Kyle Singer: I already told you, I feel fine alright?
- Sam Singer: They're saying you're not going to feel sick for a few hours but by then it'll be too late
- Jack Bauer: Tony, have you got a lock yet?
- Tony Almeida: [to Kim] how much longer?
- Kim Bauer: Ten seconds
- Kyle Singer: What'd you want me to do? Turn myself in?
- Sam Singer: Because you may be sick and if you are, then other people are going to be infected
- Tony Almeida: We got it Jack. His at Los Feliz Mall between Vermont and Sunset
- Jack Bauer: Ok, get his photograph to mall security tell them not to approach him
- Tony Almeida: Look, your twenty minutes by car, I can land a team there in ten minutes
- Jack Bauer: I don't want you taking Chase
- Tony Almeida: Why not?
- Jack Bauer: [Before hanging up] just don't
- Adam Kaufman: LAPD is setting up a perimeter but they need wind vectors for the last fifteen minutes
- Tony Almeida: Call meteorology, extension 2112
- Michelle Dessler: Local news picked up the story about the dead body being dumped at Health Services
- Tony Almeida: [Sarcastically] great
- Michelle Dessler: They want a statement: what'd want me to tell them?
- Tony Almeida: Nothing
- Kim Bauer: Warden Mitchell is on the phone calling from the prison, he says it's urgent
- Michelle Dessler: [Over the phone] I'm not sure if you've heard yet but Tony's heading off site for a while
- Chloe O'Brian: He is?
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah, I'm taking over for a few hours
- Chloe O'Brian: Ok
- Michelle Dessler: Let people in your area know
- Chloe O'Brian: Ok I will
- Michelle Dessler: [Before hanging up] thanks
- Chase Edmunds: [after walking over to her station] what was that?
- Chloe O'Brian: Michelle: she's taking over CTU for a couple of hours
- Chase Edmunds: [Surprised] where's Tony?
- Chloe O'Brian: They have a location on Singer, Jack can't get there on time so Tony's going
- Chase Edmunds: What? Tony's not in Field Ops
- Chloe O'Brian: Looks like they're really going out of their way to cut you out of the loop. Did you do something to piss off Jack?
- Chloe O'Brian: [while Chase leaves her station knowing his going to disobey orders] bad idea, you're just going to make things worse
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: How long have you been using?
- Jack Bauer: What?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: I did a rotation in rehab: you tend to pick up when someone's using
- Jack Bauer: I don't know what you're talking about
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: You know exactly what I'm talking about
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: How long?
- Jack Bauer: For a while now. It was the only way I could maintain my cover with the Salazar's
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: Are you high now?
- Jack Bauer: [Sternly] no
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: [Picking up the vile of cocaine and showing it to him] it's empty
- Jack Bauer: [Snatching it from her] I told you I'm fine
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: I'm not so sure
- Jack Bauer: If you're not so sure then turn me in
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: I don't want to turn you in. I'm worried about you
- Jack Bauer: You don't have to be, I've "kicked it"
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: I have a responsibility to stop this virus and I am taking a "calculated" risk, that you are more of an asset than a liability so please don't screw this up
- Jack Bauer: I won't
- Jack Bauer: [Answering his phone] yeah?
- Tony Almeida: Security found Singer, I'm about to pick him up
- Jack Bauer: Ok where are you?
- Tony Almeida: Second floor rotunda. Top of the north escalator, where are you?
- Tony Almeida: We're coming in the loading dock, north entrance, have you got a visual?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah I got it
- Jack Bauer: Where've you placed your men?
- Jack Bauer: Their posted at all of the entrances
- Jack Bauer: Ok good, we should be there in about a minute
- Tony Almeida: [Before hanging up] alright
- Kim Bauer: Look, I know my dad can be hard but he will come around
- Kim Bauer: How do you know?
- Kim Bauer: Because I know my father
- Chase Edmunds: Maybe you don't know him as well as you think?
- Kim Bauer: What's that suppose to mean?
- Chase Edmunds: Nothing: it's ok. Forget it
- Kim Bauer: Don't you think I feel bad enough already? Because I do
- Chase Edmunds: We shouldn't have told him
- Kim Bauer: Well, the only other option I could think of was to stop seeing each other which is as far as I'm concerned is not an option, or is it? What'd you want?
- Chase Edmunds: I want to be able to do my job
- Chase Edmunds: I just heard they found Singer: is this for real?
- Tony Almeida: We'll see. I was just meeting Jack over there right now
- Chase Edmunds: Look, I'm done with this kid Parker ok? His said all that his going to say. I want back on the case
- Tony Almeida: [while leaving] yeah well, we're handling it now alright?
- Chase Edmunds: Because Jack doesn't want me there right? Did he tell you why his cutting me out?
- Tony Almeida: I don't care. His your boss, it's his call
- Chase Edmunds: [while holding Tony's arm] this isn't right. Did he tell you it's because of Kim? He found out we're seeing each other and this is how his going to make me pay for it
- Tony Almeida: [Before leaving] take it up with Jack
