- Quotes
Sherry Palmer: Hello David
President David Palmer: How did you get in here without my authorization?
Sherry Palmer: We were married for many years: many people respect that even if you don't. I need to talk to you
President David Palmer: We don't have anymore to talk about. You're not my wife anymore
Sherry Palmer: It's not about us
President David Palmer: Then what?
Sherry Palmer: Not here. I need to be alone with you
President David Palmer: You know what? Even if I were interested to hear what you have to say, today is impossible. You shouldn't have come here
Sherry Palmer: It's about your administration
President David Palmer: What about it?
Sherry Palmer: Just give me five minutes
President David Palmer: I don't have time now
Sherry Palmer: Did you order an evacuation of military personnel out of Los Angeles?
President David Palmer: Who told you that?
Sherry Palmer: Five minutes
President David Palmer: Wait here. I'll call you
- Alternate versionsA scene where Tony interviews Reza was edited for the UK DVD release. Cut from the full scene, Tony mentions Finsbury Park mosque (a real mosque), in London (where Reza is from), as 'one of the main recruitment centers for Islamic terrorists in the west'.
Okay, so Nina was brought back two hours ago, but this is her real moment in the spotlight, as the interrogation finally gets underway: with the President willing to grant her a pardon, she feels confident enough to toy with the CTU's expectations and be as elusive as possible regarding the nuke's location. Things take a different turn, however, when Jack asks to be left alone with her: after less than a minute she has a gun pointed at her head. Mason protests, only to realize Jack has a plan: if Nina thinks he'd rather avenge his wife's death than save Los Angeles, she loses her strategic advantage. In the same time-frame, Palmer's staff has to deal with a tragic accident, while the President himself receives an unexpected visit from Sherry, who claims to have proof of a conspiracy within the administration. Is it true, or is she just aiming to regain her ex-husband's trust?
In pure 24 style, that question remains unanswered for the moment, allowing Johnson (now a series regular) to shine in a rare mix of ambiguity, (lethal) charm and faultless wordplay - her character may not be trustworthy, but it's impossible to avert the eyes from her. Clarke is equally brilliant: a pure femme fatale in the first half of the episode, she reveals Nina's more fragile side once Bauer starts having it his way, and the sight of her squaring off with Sutherland again is a delight. Who said there are no meaty parts for women in the thriller genre?
