- Stephen Saunders: [Over the phone] I hope you covered your tracks by deleting incriminating satellite frames
- Tony Almeida: I did what you wanted me to: where's my wife?
- Stephen Saunders: Not so fast. I like to do things in phases, you should know that by now. That was phase one, now we have to talk about my daughter
- Tony Almeida: What about her?
- Stephen Saunders: I want her back of course
- Tony Almeida: I want my wife back
- Stephen Saunders: Then there should be no problem, where's Jane now?
- Tony Almeida: She's on her way here, she should be here in about five minutes
- Stephen Saunders: Good, once she gets there, make sure the guard follows your orders without question. Any harm comes to my daughter, your wife dies. If Jane is not released when I order it, your wife dies. That's all you need to know, are we clear?
- President David Palmer: [Over the phone] Mr. Almeida, I just heard you lost Stephen Saunders: is that true?
- Tony Almeida: Yes Sir, unfortunately it is
- President David Palmer: I thought CTU was certain of his location? What happened?
- Tony Almeida: We're looking into it now Sir
- President David Palmer: Does Saunders know we're holding his daughter?
- Tony Almeida: Yes Sir he does and she's obviously very important to him
- President David Palmer: Is Jane Saunders there with you right now?
- Tony Almeida: No, she's on her way here Sir
- President David Palmer: Mr. Almeida, I don't have to remind you how much security we're going to need around her today. She is the only thing standing between us and Stephen Saunders controlling the government
- Tony Almeida: Yes Mr. President, we're aware of that
- President David Palmer: [Before hanging up] Good, keep me posted
- Tony Almeida: Yes Sir, thank you Sir
- Jack Bauer: [Over the phone, while with Chase driving back to CTU] what're you working on?
- Chloe O'Brian: We're all trying to pick up a thread on Saunders. I'm analyzing his last phone call to you to see if there's any tell on the carrier
- Jack Bauer: Is it possible he wasn't even in the building and was routing his calls through there?
- Chloe O'Brian: No, he did that earlier at the apartment now that I have his counterfeit signature, he wouldn't be able to do it without us knowing it
- Jack Bauer: [Before hanging up] ok, get back to me as soon as you've got anything
- Tony Almeida: How you doing?
- Kim Bauer: I can't believe Saunders escaped, how could this happen? I thought he was surrounded?
- Tony Almeida: It happened: Rae Plachecki is coming here to talk to you. You're going to have to answer some questions on the shooting at the library
- Kim Bauer: Ok, I heard the news about Michelle
- Tony Almeida: What news?
- Kim Bauer: That she wasn't infected
- Tony Almeida: Oh, yeah
- Kim Bauer: Thank God she's ok. That's great
- Tony Almeida: Yeah thanks
- Adam Kaufman: What?
- Chloe O'Brian: I've been checking satellite navigation except there's some missing frames and their certain it's on our route
- Adam Kaufman: What about the backup on the FDA volume?
- Chloe O'Brian: Gone: not only that they cover about twenty seconds so if Saunders escape the building it's within that interval
- Adam Kaufman: So there was a "glitch" at exactly the wrong moment?
- Chloe O'Brian: Yeah, what are the chances of that?
- Adam Kaufman: Not good
- Chloe O'Brian: I'm thinking Saunders has access to our system
- Adam Kaufman: Did you tell Tony yet?
- Chloe O'Brian: No, I want more information before I go to him but I checked with Field Ops and all their systems are accounted for. I need you to do the same in COMM
- Adam Kaufman: Do you really think someone inside CTU is working for Saunders?
- Chloe O'Brian: It's the only thing that makes sense right now so if you could just do that and call your sister back
- President David Palmer: What is it?
- Wayne Palmer: I just got off the phone with one of my sources over at Keeler's headquarters. Sherry was there: meeting privately with Keeler
- President David Palmer: When?
- Wayne Palmer: Just now
- President David Palmer: Meeting Keeler about what?
- Wayne Palmer: He didn't know so I was hoping you'd have some idea?
- President David Palmer: I don't know what she was doing but we can't worry about that now there are dying here in Los Angeles
- Wayne Palmer: Yeah, I don't like it, so let me put someone on this
- Wayne Palmer: No, we brought Sherry in to fix a problem and look what happened. Just let it be, we'll hear soon enough
- Jane Saunders: [while in an interrogation room] why am I being treated like I've done something wrong?
- Tony Almeida: I apologize for that: we're just trying to keep you safe
- Jane Saunders: This is the one place I'm not safe. I've been thinking about it, you need me to get to my father so threatening to kill me or harm me is the only tool you have to use against him, tell me I'm wrong
- Tony Almeida: [Sits down] you're right, we need your father to believe we'll do anything to get him but we're not going to hurt you. I give you my word
- Jane Saunders: Your word?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah, my word. I run this office and I will personally protect you
- Jane Saunders: What about Kim's father? They told her his on his way back here
- Tony Almeida: What about him?
- Jane Saunders: He scares me, I got the feeling his going to hurt me
- Tony Almeida: Nobody's going to hurt you alright?
- Jane Saunders: [Before Tony's cell phone rings] I wish I could believe you
- Tony Almeida: [Answers the phone] Almeida
- Stephen Saunders: Is Jane around?
- Tony Almeida: [Walks to the other side of the interrogation room] yeah
- Stephen Saunders: Where is she?
- Tony Almeida: She's here
- Stephen Saunders: Put her on
- Tony Almeida: No, you have my wife, I want to talk to her first
- Stephen Saunders: You don't give me orders
- Tony Almeida: [Whispers] you're wrong, I have your daughter which means I'm in charge. Now if you so much touch my wife, I will slit Jane's throat
- Stephen Saunders: Hold on
- Michelle Dessler: [after Saunders gives her the phone] Tony, it's me
- Tony Almeida: Michelle
- Michelle Dessler: They won't let me say much. I'm fine, I'm being treated well, don't let them do this...
- Tony Almeida: [after Saunders grabs the phone away from her] Michelle?
- Stephen Saunders: Let me speak to my daughter Mr. Almeida
- Tony Almeida: [to Jane as he connects his cell phone into a portable speakerphone] it's your father, he wants to speak to you
- Jane Saunders: Dad?
- Stephen Saunders: Yes Jane, it's me
- Jane Saunders: Their saying horrible things about you
- Stephen Saunders: That's what they do: don't believe any of it
- Jane Saunders: The virus in the hotel that's killing all those people, you didn't do that. Please tell me you didn't do that
- Stephen Saunders: Listen to me, the US government distorts the truth and destroys lives. Don't listen to any of it, it's all lies
- Jane Saunders: Then you didn't do it?
- Stephen Saunders: I never do something without a good cause: know that
- Tony Almeida: [Disconnects his cell phone from the speakerphone, referring to exchanging Michelle for Jane] that's all, let's do this
- Stephen Saunders: How long will it take for you to get her out of the building?
- Tony Almeida: I have to fabricate some clearances, it's going to take me about thirty to forty minutes
- Stephen Saunders: Contact me as soon as you clear CTU
- Tony Almeida: What is it?
- Chloe O'Brian: Something's weird happened with Michelle
- Tony Almeida: What'd you mean?
- Chloe O'Brian: No one can find her: Redman's not answering his pages
- Tony Almeida: That's because I overrode NHS's order. I didn't want them to know about it, I'm putting Michelle in quarantine in one of our substations so she can still do some work. I need every warm body I can get
- Chloe O'Brian: What am I going to tell Macer?
- Tony Almeida: I'll call her, there's something else I want you to do
- Chloe O'Brian: What is it?
- Tony Almeida: I'm sending you the record of a phone call between Saunders and myself a few minutes ago
- Chloe O'Brian: You just talk to him?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah, I want you to strip away the carrier signal and see if you can use it to find him
- Chloe O'Brian: What about the voice track?
- Tony Almeida: He scrambled it, it's useless
- Chloe O'Brian: Fine
- Tony Almeida: Do it in Tech 1: away from everybody, I don't want Adam to know about it
- Chloe O'Brian: Why not?
- Tony Almeida: Technically, it's his job but your better at it
- Chloe O'Brian: [Confused] why did you just say that?
- Chloe O'Brian: Because it's true
- Jack Bauer: What the hell is going on? Adam just told me you think you've got someone on the inside working for Saunders?
- Tony Almeida: It hasn't been confirmed yet but I have Chloe working on it
- Jack Bauer: What's she doing?
- Tony Almeida: She's taking a look at the status logs to see if she can find anything out of the ordinary
- Jack Bauer: If this is true, we've got to call Division and get Spec Ops down here immediately
- Tony Almeida: I thought about that but I don't want to raise any red flags, if someone in our group is working with Saunders, I don't want them to know we're onto them
- Jack Bauer: Ok fine: you and I will work this up together but I want Division to pick up Jane Saunders so they can continue questioning her
- Tony Almeida: Good idea
- Jack Bauer: I'll call Brad Hammond and meet you in Tech 1, we'll go over everything with Chloe
- Tony Almeida: No wait, I have a thirty minute status calls scheduled with Hammond anyway, why don't you let me tell him and you can go to Field Ops?
- Jack Bauer: Ok fine
- Jack Bauer: What're you doing?
- Tony Almeida: I'm trying to pick up a thread on Saunders: somebody in my own group may be working against us. I have quarantine zones springing up all over the place I'm treading water here
- Jack Bauer: Why'd you lie to me?
- Tony Almeida: Lying? What're you talking about?
- Jack Bauer: I just got off the phone with Hammond, you didn't have a status call scheduled
- Tony Almeida: I screwed up earlier, the SAT transmission on my system was forged by my own people. I should've noticed it wasn't authentic before I ordered Baker off his post: I didn't, by the time I realized my mistake it was too late. Saunders was gone
- Jack Bauer: What about the missing frames?
- Tony Almeida: It must've been deleted by the same person who forged the SAT transmission. I know this is big, I promise you I'll offer my resignation to you when this day is over but right now we got too much going on for me just to step down
- Jack Bauer: Making a mistake is one thing, covering it up is another. I can't let you stay in place. I am taking command over CTU now
- Tony Almeida: I made a mistake
- Jack Bauer: No, you made two
- Tony Almeida: Fine, I'll make sure Adam sends everything over to your group
- Jack Bauer: I need you to help me with something
- Kim Bauer: You have to clear it with Tony: he wants me to debrief with Rae Plachecki about what's going on with Jane Saunders
- Jack Bauer: Tony just stepped down. I'm acting Director of CTU until further notice
- Kim Bauer: What'd you mean Tony stepped down?
- Jack Bauer: Tony's hiding something me, I need you to help me find out what it is
- Kim Bauer: Why me?
- Jack Bauer: Because right now I don't know who to trust. I need you to maintain a surveillance on every station here at CTU, anyone who checks in or out and I also want you to track communication and flag high on Code 2
- Kim Bauer: Where do you want me to do this?
- Jack Bauer: Field Ops, come on
