- 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
- President David Palmer: [Giving a statement to the press] my fellow Americans: good evening. A few hours ago I had to terminate the Presidential debate, to handle at the time was a national security threat. I can't reveal to you at this time, the details surrounding the situation. Those will be forthcoming in the next few hours, let me assure you the dangers that existed a few hours ago has passed. America is safe, the American people are safe. I apologize to my opponent Senator Keeler and to the millions of you who expected to see us engage in the issues. The debate will be rescheduled, I'd like to thank you all for your patience and understanding, good night
- 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
- Jack Bauer: I need you to listen to me. Hector and Ramón are trying to buy a virus to use as a weapon: millions of people could die. I set up this deal so my government can take control of the virus and destroy it. Do you understand what I'm saying?
- Claudia Hernandez: You're still with CTU?
- Jack Bauer: Yes. I'm still with CTU
- Claudia Hernandez: But you broke Ramón out of prison
- Jack Bauer: That was so I can gain his trust to make the deal happen. I cannot let this virus to get into the wrong hands
- Claudia Hernandez: You betrayed us once, now you've come to betray us again
- Jack Bauer: No, just "them", not you
- Claudia Hernandez: I was a fool to believe any of it "I'm going to protect you, "I'm going to get your family somewhere safe." All lies
- Jack Bauer: I wanted to come back for you earlier but when I heard about this virus, I had to deal with it. Millions of lives are at stake, you have to understand that but I can get you out now. You, Sergio, and your father
- Claudia Hernandez: How?
- Jack Bauer: American soldiers are not far from here, their waiting for my signal but I can't reach them because my transmitter's been destroyed. I have nothing to gain if I wasn't telling you the truth. One word from you and I'm a dead man
- Claudia Hernandez: What do you want me to do?
- Jack Bauer: I need a cell phone, I need to let CTU know where I am, and I need you to do whatever you can to help my partner Chase, keep him alive
- Claudia Hernandez: Once Hector realizes this, his going to kill me
- Jack Bauer: You'll be gone by then. Chase can help you get out, I promise but if I can't contact CTU, this is all for nothing. You've got to get me that phone, please?
- Claudia Hernandez: I'll do what I can
- Jack Bauer: [after they kiss each other] I have to go, their waiting for me
- Claudia Hernandez: If you lie to me again, I'll kill you myself
- Jack Bauer: [Before kissing her forehead] help Chase
- Alan Milliken: [Over the phone, jokingly] are you angry with me?
- President David Palmer: Of course not. I'm not angry with you
- Alan Milliken: Your first time in LA in three years and you don't even call
- President David Palmer: It's been a bad day
- Alan Milliken: I know, I've been watching the news. I don't want to add to your burdens but I'd like to come by and see you
- President David Palmer: See me?
- Alan Milliken: I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. I know you're busy, after all you are the President of the United States
- President David Palmer: In a large part, thanks to you. I'll come to you, I'll be there in fifteen minutes
- Alan Milliken: Thank you. One more thing: as a personal favor to me, I'm asking you not to bring Wayne
- President David Palmer: May I ask why?
- Alan Milliken: I have something I'd ask in person
- President David Palmer: [Before hanging up] alright
- Michael Amador: Hello Jack, so these must be the buyers you're representing?
- Jack Bauer: [Introducing them] this is Hector and Ramon Salazar
- Jack Bauer: [after taking out a white envelop] there's a hundred million dollars in escrow accounts in Geneva and Hong Kong: we're prepared to give immediate instructions to have the money transferred as soon as we have confirmation that the virus has been delivered
- Michael Amador: There's been a "complication", another buyer's interested in the virus
- Jack Bauer: What're you talking about? We have a deal
- Hector Salazar: What's going on Jack?
- Jack Bauer: I don't know
- Michael Amador: I have nothing to do with it. This is a new development, it just surfaced in the last few hours. We'll hold an auction and the virus will go to the highest bidder. Mr. Salazar, I'm only representing the wishes of my client
- Jack Bauer: May we have a moment?
- Michael Amador: Of course
- Jack Bauer: [Talking privately] Hector, this does not to be a problem
- Hector Salazar: This is a huge problem
- Jack Bauer: Think it through, you add forty to fifty million dollars to this price tag, your still looking at a eight hundred million dollar profit. You said you could move the virus for a billion dollars, that was your estimate right?
- Hector Salazar: Something like that
- Jack Bauer: You've come this far, don't stop. Let it play out
- Ramon Salazar: [after Nina steps out of the SUV and Jack briefly faces away] you know her?
- Nina Myers: [after seeing Jack] the hell is he doing here? That man is a federal agent
- Michael Amador: I know who he is: everything's fine
- Nina Myers: No, it's not. He's setting us up
- Nina Myers: [to her bodyguard] you have to kill him
- Michael Amador: [to Nina's bodyguard and Salazar's men after they raise their guns at each other] first man to fire gets cut down, that's a promise
- Nina Myers: [Referring to Jack] why is he here?
- Michael Amador: He represents a buyer, just like you
- Nina Myers: No, he doesn't. Believe me, I know him whatever he told you his lying
- Jack Bauer: [Walking up to her] I don't work for CTU anymore Nina, I work for myself
- Nina Myers: I'm out of here
- Michael Amador: [while she walk away] Nina, please
- Jack Bauer: Let her go and honor the original agreement
- Michael Amador: Nina, I don't think your clients are going to be too happy if you walk out and let the virus go to another buyer
- Cale: [Reminding her] we've got to close this deal
- Michael Amador: We have a wide perimeter, look outs everywhere, and we're monitoring every frequency. There's no local military within twenty-five kilometers, you know how I work. This area is completely secure, if I have the slightest doubt I wouldn't be here. I suggest we all take a few moments to calm ourselves and I'll explain the ground rules and proceed with the bids agreed?
- Ramon Salazar: Agreed
- Nina Myers: Fine
- Michael Amador: Good
- President David Palmer: [while shaking hands] it's good to see you
- Alan Milliken: Thanks for finding the time to fit me in
- President David Palmer: You've always made time for me, even when there was no obvious reason to do so
- Alan Milliken: Your potential was always obvious
- President David Palmer: How are you doing?
- Alan Milliken: I could use a few more body parts
- President David Palmer: You look well
- Alan Milliken: I know you're thinking what could be so important I'd ask you here. So I'll be brief and I'll be blunt. I want your brother off the team
- President David Palmer: I don't understand, you've always been supportive of Wayne
- Alan Milliken: I was, I'm not anymore
- President David Palmer: [Before Julia enters the room] what's this all about?
- Alan Milliken: [to Julia] he was wondering why I want to fire Wayne and I thought you should explain
- Julia Milliken: As you know I've known Wayne for some time. Three years ago when he was president of Alan's company, we spent quite a bit of time together
- Alan Milliken: Get to it Julia
- Julia Milliken: Wayne and I became involved
- Alan Milliken: [to David] they had an affair, while I was recuperating from the stroke. That's how your brother thanked me
- Alan Milliken: [to Julia] go on
- Julia Milliken: We saw each other for a year, before you asked him to join your Administration. Then we broke it off
- President David Palmer: Hold on, if you knew about this, why didn't you say something?
- Alan Milliken: I didn't. I just found out recently, did you know David? Did you keep it from me too?
- President David Palmer: Of course not. I can hardly believe it's even true
- Julia Milliken: It's true
- Julia Milliken: [to Alan] I told you how sorry I am
- Alan Milliken: [Irritated] you can go
- Alan Milliken: I waited for you to come to Los Angeles so I can do this face to face. I gave your brother my company and he took my wife. Now I'm taking away his job
- President David Palmer: Wayne is my Chief of Staff, my closest friend, I trust him
- Alan Milliken: I don't and neither should you, his dishonest. I think you agree that you wouldn't be where you are without my support over the years. I've never asked for anything in return but I'm asking you now: fire Wayne
- President David Palmer: I'm sorry, I can't do that
- Alan Milliken: I'm disappointed, not surprised and you know me well enough not to be surprised if there are repercussions
- President David Palmer: I hope you're not threatening me
- Alan Milliken: I don't make threats, I just tell it like it is
- Michelle Dessler: [Talking privately] what is it?
- Kim Bauer: It's actually about Tony. Look, I don't know if his...
- Michelle Dessler: You don't know if his what?
- Kim Bauer: Well enough to do his job
- Michelle Dessler: He was shot a few hours ago: his not going to be working at full capacity
- Kim Bauer: I know but what if he misses something important? I mean his running things
- Michelle Dessler: What happened?
- Kim Bauer: He asked me to finalize the COMM files but he forgot to give me the format codes and just before he chewed me out for forgetting something he thought he told me except he never told me
- Michelle Dessler: His under a lot of stress, we all are
- Kim Bauer: That's my point, your his wife we trust that his in command and if Tony can't do the job, somebody has to tell Chappelle and I think that someone should be you
- Claudia Hernandez: [while rubbing water on his face] I have a message from Jack, can you hear me? Things aren't what they seem: Jack isn't really with Ramon and Hector. Everything his done was to earn their trust. The virus their going to buy, Jack is going to take it from them. Do you understand? There are soldiers from your country not far from here, they'll come when Jack calls for them. Jack promised to get me and my family out of here if I help you
- Chase Edmunds: [as his arms are tied above his head] then help me
- Claudia Hernandez: I can't now, there are too many men now. Don't give up. I'll figure out a way alright?
- Sergio: Where are we going?
- Claudia Hernandez: We'll be together
- Sergio: We're together now: is Hector coming with us?
- Claudia Hernandez: Just be ready to leave
- Sergio: What about Hector?
- Claudia Hernandez: [Raises her voice] forget about Hector, just do what I'm telling you
- 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
- Michelle Dessler: [while in his office] I don't think Tony should be here right now
- Ryan Chappelle: My understanding is that his not in any imminent danger
- Michelle Dessler: It's not that. I've had reports that his been forgetful: missing things
- Ryan Chappelle: Like what?
- Michelle Dessler: Key information, format codes, things are causing delays. On any other day I wouldn't be worried about this but I'm just not sure his up to it today
- Ryan Chappelle: If I pull him now, that sets us back too. No one can replace what he does, he, Gael, and Jack have been working on this from the beginning. Unless you think his mistakes have been significant enough?
- Michelle Dessler: I do or else I wouldn't be brining this to you
- Ryan Chappelle: Alright, let me wrap up this call and I'll get into it
- Michelle Dessler: Thank you
- President David Palmer: I just got back from seeing Alan
- Wayne Palmer: What'd he want?
- President David Palmer: Oh, I think you know
- Wayne Palmer: Know what?
- President David Palmer: [Aggressively] he wants me to fire you: the hell were you thinking? Carrying on an affair with a married woman, the wife of my biggest supporter
- Wayne Palmer: Listen, I am sorry but it was a mistake and I corrected it
- President David Palmer: Not in Alan's mind. For him, this is fresh. He just found out and he wants to make you pay
- Wayne Palmer: Look, we both know you can't afford to make an enemy out of Alan. He wields too much power so I'll resign
- President David Palmer: You'll leave only if I decide if it's the right thing to do, not Alan Milliken
- Wayne Palmer: Alan is a very dirty fighter, trust me. Are you sure you want to get down in the gutter with that man?
- President David Palmer: You haven't left me much choice have you?
- 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
- Michael Amador: Are you ready with your bids?
- Jack Bauer: Yes
- Nina Myers: yes
- Michael Amador: [Before Jack and Nina hand him their bids with the amount written inside] let me see them
- Michael Amador: The banks will verify the presence of these funds?
- Jack Bauer: Yes that is correct
- Nina Myers: The bank will verify those as well
- Michael Amador: [to Jack] your bid is two hundred and twenty-five million dollars
- Michael Amador: Hers is two hundred and forty. Nina, you win. The transfer will take place in two hours
