- Ramon Salazar: [while flying in a helicopter] do we have enough fuel to get to Mexico?
- Jack Bauer: We're not going to Mexico
- Ramon Salazar: What'd you mean? Why not?
- Jack Bauer: If we make a run for the border, they're going to try to force us down: you're going to have to trust me
- Chase Edmunds: [Over the phone] Jack disarmed his locator but military should have him on radar by now
- Chloe O'Brian: They're feeding us the screen now. I'm sending it to you: his heading toward downtown
- Chase Edmunds: Downtown: he knows we can't shoot him down over a populated area, we maybe able to override what he did to his COMM unit through an emergency HALO frequency. We have to get through to him, we got to let him know we found Kyle Singer
- Chloe O'Brian: On it
- Tony Almeida: [Talking privately] Ryan and I feel you shouldn't be here until the situation with your father is resolved
- Kim Bauer: I'm qualified to handle the work
- Tony Almeida: Your qualifications aren't the issue: your emotions are
- Kim Bauer: I can control my emotions. My father's doing this so the virus won't get out, if he knows Kyle Singer is in custody, he'll give Salazar back
- Tony Almeida: I know but we can't reach your father
- Kim Bauer: Not yet but Chloe and Adam are getting there and I can help them. I'm a resource, don't do this
- Tony Almeida: Ok go back and help Adam
- Ryan Chappelle: [During a meeting department heads] we'll make every attempt to communicate with Jack to try to resolve this peacefully but if we can't, I need everyone absolutely clear on this: Salazar's terrorist connections are a serious threat to this country. We cannot let him leave. Now that we've got Singer, should it come to it, Salazar and Bauer are expendable
- Michelle Dessler: Why aren't we focusing on other options to bring down the chopper without force?
- Ryan Chappelle: Jack's not giving us any options. His on a suicide mission either way. Once he hands Ramon to Hector, they'll have no use for him. They're going to kill him. I just got off the phone with Major Blanchard, he has a pursuit craft tracking Jack. However, if they're not able to catch him by the time he reaches metro-airspace, then we a whole new set of problems. We need to coordinate with local authorities now
- Chase Edmunds: [Over the phone] I just spoke with someone at CTU: they said you authorized the use of force against the chopper
- Ryan Chappelle: That's right I did
- Chase Edmunds: Does President Palmer know about this?
- Ryan Chappelle: Palmer? First of all his in the middle of a national debate, and I don't need his authorization. Bauer just helped Ramon Salazar break out of prison
- Chase Edmunds: He did that to make sure Salazar's people didn't release this virus
- Ryan Chappelle: I don't care. This is my jurisdiction
- Chase Edmunds: All I'm saying is getting Palmer's authorization might be a smart play here. Think about it, Jack Bauer has a personal relationship with the President. He saved his life more than once, Palmer's interceded on his behalf before
- Ryan Chappelle: Our mandate does not "bend" to accommodate personal relationships
- Chase Edmunds: [Sarcastically, before hanging up] your right Ryan. After you shoot Jack down, you can personally explain that to the President
- Wayne Palmer: [Over the phone] what's the latest on the bio threat?
- Ryan Chappelle: Kyle Singer, whom we believe is the only carrier of the virus, has been taken into custody
- Wayne Palmer: Are you telling there's no longer a risk of this virus being released?
- Ryan Chappelle: That's what I'm saying
- Wayne Palmer: Oh thank God
- Ryan Chappelle: Yes, we still have the Bauer "situation" to deal with
- Wayne Palmer: What's the status on that?
- Ryan Chappelle: Bauer has taken Salazar from the prison in a helicopter: we have him in our sights but are unable to communicate with him
- Wayne Palmer: What are you planning on doing?
- Ryan Chappelle: Salazar cannot be allowed to leave the country. I'm afraid the only alternative is to shoot him down
- Wayne Palmer: Mr. Chappelle, my brother is not going to like that alternative
- Ryan Chappelle: I understand, that's why I'm calling. I don't want to fire on Bauer without the President's permission
- Wayne Palmer: Yeah well but the President is in the middle of a televised debate right now so I'm sorry it's going to have to wait
- Ryan Chappelle: It can't wait, in a few minutes their helicopter is going to be over downtown LA and will be unable to shoot it down without risking significant civilian casualties
- Wayne Palmer: When do I get back to you?
- Ryan Chappelle: Soon, otherwise Bauer will be able to land that chopper and disappear with Salazar into the population
- Wayne Palmer: [Before hanging up] yeah
- Wayne Palmer: [Talking privately] I'm sorry but we don't have a lot of time here: so what do you want to do about shooting down this chopper?
- President David Palmer: I can't give the order to kill Jack Bauer
- Wayne Palmer: You can't let Salazar go either
- President David Palmer: Is it Salazar your worried about? Or are you worried about if Jack Bauer lives, he'll talk our arrangement?
- Wayne Palmer: It's a fair question. To be blunt, yeah I am worried about that but you still have to think about national security. I mean Salazar not only runs a drug cartel but his connected to terrorist organizations and he has proven to us today that he has the infrastructure to launch a biological attack on our soil. Now we can't allow him to do that again
- President David Palmer: Jack Bauer sacrificed everything to prevent that attack
- Wayne Palmer: Jack Bauer volunteered. Jack Bauer knew the risks, you've got to make a decision as if it wasn't Jack Bauer on that helicopter. You have to do what's right for this country. Listen, this is your call but you've got to make it now
- Sam Singer: I don't understand: if his not sick yet, why isn't there a way to treat him?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: Once their exposed, it starts incubating the virus. There's nothing we can do
- Sam Singer: How long does he have?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: The lab tests haven't come back yet, once they do...
- Sam Singer: [Interrupts her] please just give us an idea?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: Hours, not days. I'm sorry
- Sam Singer: Can we see him?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: Of course
- Sam Singer: [to Kyle through an intercom while he remains in containment] the doctor told us everything
- Helen Singer: [Referring to the virus his infected with] but maybe they're wrong? Maybe they don't it's as bad as they think
- Kyle Singer: They're not wrong. I deserve what I'm getting
- Sam Singer: Don't say that: what you deserve was a father who could do better for you. So you wouldn't have to go get money and bring it home because I couldn't
- Kyle Singer: No
- Sam Singer: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry
- Kyle Singer: I love you. You've always taken care of me, I know I've never told you this but you always made me feel safe. Even now, you made me feel safe, you did the best you could
- Wayne Palmer: [after hanging up the phone] that was CTU: they still haven't found Bauer or Salazar. LAPD is placing a net around the area where the chopper landed
- President David Palmer: Hopefully they'll be picked up without incident
- Wayne Palmer: Yeah it's probably more likely Bauer sneaked through. Listen, you're going to have to stop thinking about his welfare for a moment. Bauer breaking Salazar out of prison is already leaked to the press, your going have to go out there and explain that is why you ended this debate and explicitly denounce what Bauer did
- President David Palmer: So Jack puts his life on the line to stop the virus and we hang him out to dry
- Wayne Palmer: We cannot allow anyone to know that we sanctioned what he did. That would do reputable damage to you, to your office. Now you know what I'm saying is true and I'm sorry but you're going to have to let him go
- Dr. Anne Packard: Is everything ok?
- President David Palmer: We had to make some fast choices and I couldn't do that when I was on stage. Yes, everything's ok now
- Dr. Anne Packard: You sure?
- President David Palmer: It's just "damage control"
- Dr. Anne Packard: I'm sorry, I still can't believe Keeler would say those lies in an national debate
- President David Palmer: You don't have to apologize for anything: we didn't "sink" to their level and in the long run, it's going to pay off
- Dr. Anne Packard: I hope your right
- President David Palmer: I'm more concerned about you. You've only been brought into this because of me
- Dr. Anne Packard: I'm fine
- President David Palmer: Yes you are
- Wayne Palmer: [Walking up to them, to David] Jerry's scheduled a press conference. Their expecting your statement this evening
- President David Palmer: Fine
- Wayne Palmer: We've got to give a response to Keeler's accusations about Anne
- President David Palmer: What did the quick polls tell us?
- Wayne Palmer: Well, I'm not going to lie to you. We got hit hard, voters who were on the fence may have just fallen into Keeler's camp
- Dr. Anne Packard: That is ridiculous, once they find out Ted was lying...
- Wayne Palmer: [Interrupts her] and how are they supposed to do that? I mean it's "he said, she said." This is politics, not medicine so do me a favor and stay out of it
- Dr. Anne Packard: Stay out of it? I am "it"
- President David Palmer: [Stands up] that's enough
- President David Palmer: [to Wayne] you have to be patient, Anne's not going anywhere and we're not changing our strategy
- Wayne Palmer: David, we really...
- President David Palmer: [Interrupts him] right now, it's Mr. President
- Wayne Palmer: [Before walking away] yes Sir, Mr. President
- Dr. Anne Packard: [Referring to Wayne] I may not agree with his bed side manner: but I think his right. You don't need this right now
- President David Palmer: What're you saying?
- Dr. Anne Packard: I think we should put our relationship on hold until after the election
- President David Palmer: Whoa, whoa, whoa. First of all, that won't resolve anything. Second of all, I need you
- Dr. Anne Packard: Then I'm right here
- President David Palmer: [Before hugging each other] that's my lady
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: [Over the phone] Kyle Singer's test came back negative
- Jack Bauer: How is that possible?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: It's only possible if he was never infected
- Jack Bauer: So you're telling me this whole scare was a bluff?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: I don't know if I would say that: the dead body dropped off this morning was infected
- Jack Bauer: Then why wouldn't they have infected the boy? what the hell is going on here?
- Dr. Nicole Duncan: I don't know. You tell me
