Quotes 

• Tony Almeida : Where are we?

  Gael Ortega : So far, unable to pick up Jack on any of our imagery

  Tony Almeida : How long we've been out of contact?

  Gael Ortega : His tracking beacon went dead twenty-seven minutes ago

  Tony Almeida : Last known location?

  Gael Ortega : [Showing the location on a monitor]  here, can't be much further out than thirty miles in any one direction

  Tony Almeida : Unless he was choppered out?

  Gael Ortega : No way: air tactical is watching the skies

  Ryan Chappelle : [after walking into the room]  where's Bauer?

  Tony Almeida : We don't know yet

  Ryan Chappelle : That's great, so this entire operation which hinges on Jack being on site when they deliver the virus is going down the tubes because we don't know where he is. How does that happen?

  Tony Almeida : Look, you want to chew us out? Do it later, we're trying to get this back on track

  Ryan Chappelle : I will. You better find Bauer and make this work, otherwise the two of you and Jack assuming his still alive are going to take the fall for everything that happened today. From the prison riot, to Salazar's escape and every dead body in between

  Gael Ortega : [after Chappelle leaves]  so what happens if Jack goes to this meeting without back up?

  Tony Almeida : The Salazar's get the virus, what happens from there? I don't know

• Tony Almeida : Why don't we try an amplification module?

  Gael Ortega : I've already cycled through it three times: it's not a weak signal, there's no signal

  Tony Almeida : What do we think happened here?

  Michelle Dessler : There's a strong possibility that Jack's cover might've been blown

  Tony Almeida : There's no indication that his transponder's been found or that his cover's been blown. Maybe his in a place where there's no signal or his transponder's been broken?

  Gael Ortega : Partial damage may have knocked it to a different frequency

  Tony Almeida : Let's run a scan

  Michelle Dessler : I'm doing that now. I'm only a third way through the spectrum but so far no luck

• Tony Almeida : I just checked all the NSA logs: there are no satellites going through the area we think Jack's in

  Michelle Dessler : I'll check the flight paths just in case

  Tony Almeida : Just in case what? I just checked it

  Michelle Dessler : There have been other mistakes today

  Tony Almeida : Mistakes? That you think I made?

  Michelle Dessler : Sweetheart, you should still be in the hospital. if you're not a hundred percent, you should step down

  Tony Almeida : I'm fine

  Michelle Dessler : And after what you've through today, I don't see how...

  Tony Almeida : [Interrupts her out of anger]  I said I'm fine, end of discussion please

• Tony Almeida : [after entering his office]  you wanted to see me?

  Ryan Chappelle : Yeah

  Tony Almeida : [Crosses his arms]  what's going on?

  Ryan Chappelle : I asked you here because your competency has been brought into question

  Tony Almeida : By who?

  Michelle Dessler : By me. An employee came to me with some concerns

  Tony Almeida : An employee?

  Ryan Chappelle : Kim Bauer

  Michelle Dessler : And I felt I needed to address them

  Tony Almeida : With Ryan, you didn't come to me first

  Michelle Dessler : I tried to talk to you, you didn't...

  Ryan Chappelle : [Interrupts her]  that's enough

  Tony Almeida : The point is that their wrong. I am fit for duty: completely

  Ryan Chappelle : [Before turning off the monitor to test Tony's competency]  alright, when you entered the room, the monitor was on. Tell me what it showed

  Tony Almeida : [Scoffs]  on the left side was a C scan of the country indicating an ongoing investigation in Florida, New York, and Montana. On the right side was an all clear report from the Austin branch

  Ryan Chappelle : That's correct, it still doesn't ease my mind considering the "slips" you've made

  Tony Almeida : What "slips"?

  Ryan Chappelle : Michelle?

  Michelle Dessler : You thought you gave Kim the signature on the frequency scans: you didn't

  Tony Almeida : Not verbally no. I put it on her in-screen fifteen minutes before I talked to her. Anything else?

  Michelle Dessler : She said you didn't load the format codes onto the grid on time

  Tony Almeida : No, I didn't load the codes onto "her" grid. I put them in the shared volume, on time. Check it

  Michelle Dessler : [after using Ryan's computer to confirm]  it's there

  Ryan Chappelle : Alright, I'm sorry. We're done here

  Tony Almeida : [Before leaving]  good

  Ryan Chappelle : You wasted time we don't have
