President David Palmer
- Sherry Palmer: [Over the phone] no, Karen that does me no good. Ron Wieland has a source inside this administration and I need to know who. Fine, get to me with that
- Sherry Palmer: [to David after he walks in and turns off the television] what's going on?
- President David Palmer: You tell me
- Sherry Palmer: What does that mean?
- President David Palmer: Ron Wieland's been contained for six hours: ten minutes after you met with him, someone let him out
- Sherry Palmer: And you think it was me? Even if I had the resources which I don't, why in God's name would I want Ron Wieland to cause a panic, especially today?
- President David Palmer: I don't know
- Sherry Palmer: I had nothing to do with this. I swear on the lives of our children
- President David Palmer: Find Armus yet? I want to know how Wieland got pass him
- Mike Novick: [while taking out a lab top] take a look
- President David Palmer: What's this?
- Mike Novick: Digital feedback from the surveillance at the OC
- President David Palmer: [while watching a video file] that's Armus
- Mike Novick: That happened twenty-five minutes ago
- President David Palmer: Armus let him out?
- Mike Novick: Yeah
- President David Palmer: Where is he now?
- Mike Novick: We haven't found him yet: Mr. President if Armus is working covertly against you...
- President David Palmer: [Interrupts him, raises his voice] it's not "covert" now, it's in my face
- Mike Novick: We will find him Sir
- President David Palmer: We better because whomever his working for is keeping me from finding this bomb
- President David Palmer: I owe you an apology
- Sherry Palmer: Why? What did Mike say to you?
- President David Palmer: Richard Armus is the one who let Wieland go
- Sherry Palmer: But Armus doesn't have his own agenda: he must be working for someone else
- President David Palmer: We're looking into that now. I'm sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion
- Sherry Palmer: It's alright, I don't expect you to change your attitude towards me overnight. Apology accepted, what're you going to do?
- President David Palmer: Talk to the press. I'm not sure how, I may have to go after Ron's creditability
- Sherry Palmer: Ron's creditability?
- President David Palmer: Yes, make it look like his report was motivated by "personal dislike", that's not based on fact
- Sherry Palmer: Yes but it is based on fact
- President David Palmer: Believe me, I wish there was another way
- Sherry Palmer: Maybe there is. Why don't you just tell the truth? It's what you do best. I mean you pulled it off with Keith: our divorce. You've earned the public's trust. Just use it
- President David Palmer: I'm just wondering if you've really changed or just gotten good at pretending
- President David Palmer: [to Mike, referring to Nina Meyers calling over the speakerphone] you should talk to her first. I don't want to give her access to me until she gives me something in return
- Mike Novick: Ms. Meyers, this is Mike Novick, the President's Chief of Staff
- Nina Myers: [while pointing a rifle at Jack] I asked to speak to the President
- Mike Novick: His not available
- Nina Myers: Do you want to stop this nuclear bomb or not?
- Mike Novick: Of course we do
- Nina Myers: Then put the President on
- Mike Novick: I'm authorized to negotiate on his behalf
- Nina Myers: What I want is non-negotiable
- Mike Novick: What do you want?
- Nina Myers: I'll tell you where the bomb is in exchange for immunity
- Mike Novick: The President's already granted you total pardon
- Nina Myers: Except this is for a crime I have not committed yet
- Mike Novick: What crime?
- Nina Myers: The murder of Jack Bauer: add that to my pardon and I'll tell you where the bomb is
- Mike Novick: And if we don't comply?
- Jack Bauer: [With his hands on his head] you don't have a choice
- Mike Novick: Is that you Mr. Bauer?
- Jack Bauer: Yes, please tell the President I believe he doesn't have any other choice but to accept her deal
- President David Palmer: Is CTU on the secure line?
- George Mason: Yes Sir, this is George Mason. I'm on a designated channel also with Michelle Dessler and Tony Almeida
- President David Palmer: Do you have any alternative to what she's asking? Any weaknesses are we able to exploit?
- George Mason: None. She's a survivor, she knows Bauer. She knows if she doesn't kill him now, he'll hunt her down and find her later
- President David Palmer: So in your assessment, Nina Meyers is our best chance to stopping this bomb?
- George Mason: Sir, she may be our only chance
- President David Palmer: Ms. Meyers, this is President Palmer
- Nina Myers: I'm listening
- President David Palmer: Is Jack Bauer There?
- Jack Bauer: Yes Mr. President I'm here too
- President David Palmer: Ms. Meyers, if the information you provide culminates in the successful interception of the nuclear device, you'll get everything you asked for. You will be pardoned in advance for the murder of Jack Bauer
- Nina Myers: I can live with that
- Jack Bauer: Start talking Nina
- Nina Myers: The bomb will be detonated by a man named Syed Ali
- George Mason: We know about Ali. We need to know where he is
- Nina Myers: His in a house in Chatsworth on Starling Court. Eighteen Starling Court
- George Mason: [to Tony sitting nearby] contact local law enforcement, have them set up a perimeter
- Tony Almeida: Alright
- George Mason: [to Michelle] coordinate among the relevant agencies
- President David Palmer: Ms. Meyers, you are not to take any action until we put our hands on this bomb
- Nina Myers: Agreed
- President David Palmer: Jack?
- Jack Bauer: Yes Sir
- President David Palmer: Is there anything you want me to do?
- Jack Bauer: Please make sure my daughter is safe Sir. Tell her that I love her
- President David Palmer: I'll do that
- Jack Bauer: Thank you Mr. President
- President David Palmer: Jack...
- Jack Bauer: Mr. President, please you don't need to say anything Sir. There's only one right choice to make and you've made it
- President David Palmer: [Before hanging up] I'm sorry Jack
