Karen: Yes Chloe, do you have something?
Chloe: I need access to a high clearance work station
Bill: You already have access
Chloe: It's for new personnel
Karen: [Stands up from her desk] what?
Bill: [after looking at the file] Morris? You're bringing Morris back?
Chloe: Yes
Bill: Why Chloe?
Chloe: Because I'm still trying to salvage something from the recording Miles erased. If anyone can do it, it's Morris
Bill: I didn't even think Morris was on the government payroll anymore
Chloe: His not
Bill: What's he doing?
Chloe: Selling women's shoes in Beverly Hills
Bill: What?
Karen: Is this a joke?
Chloe: No, you know I wouldn't brought him in if there was anyone else I could call, please Mr. Buchanan?
Chloe: [after Bill signs the request, before leaving] thank you
Karen: Bill?
Bill: It's going to be alright
Karen: Who is this guy?
Bill: Morris O'Brian, Chloe's ex-husband

Bill: [while their briefing is recorded] Bill Buchanan, Director CTU Los Angeles. I am here with Hamri Al-Assad: less than thirty minutes ago, Abu Fayed detonated a nuclear weapon in Los Angeles. We believe he is still at large with four more tactical nuclear weapons in his possession
Hamri: Four?
Bill: That's right
Hamri: Please, you must understand, I came to the United States to stop Fayed, I knew he intended to inflict damage but I did not know he had nuclear weapons
Bill: He is, which means there has to be a trail: there had to have been many people in the planning of this
Hamri: This attack was planned after Fayed betrayed me six months ago
Bill: When he learned of your intention to broker a peace plan?
Hamri: Yes, which I still intend to do
Bill: But you knew Fayed was coming to the United States?
Hamri: This information only came to me days before the first attack began
Bill: From whom?
Hamri: From a well informed man Mr. Buchanan
Bill: Are there any other "paths" you can think of? That can lead us to Fayed?
Hamri: Yes, a source
Bill: Source of the bomb?
Hamri: A year ago, I sent Fayed to negotiate with an ex-soviet General about a "cash" of tactical nuclear weapons but there was no transaction made at the time
Bill: What was the name of the General?
Hamri: Dmitri Gredenko
Bill: Can you tell me anything about Gredenko?
Hamri: Nothing, I have never met the man
Bill: [to Nadia before leaving] continue questioning him, I'm going to check this out

Bill: [after he enters her office] where are we on the search of the apartment complex?
Michelle: Nothing so far
Bill: LAPD there yet?
Michelle: They're on their way
Bill: I'll be in COMM
Michelle: I can't do this
Bill: Can't do what?
Michelle: I can't sacrifice the lives of all those people if this warhead goes off: she called me
Bill: Who? Who called you?
Michelle: The hostile who has Tony
Bill: When? What did she say?
Michelle: Couple minutes ago: she said to redeploy our men so she can get away or Tony dies

Karen: [while in her office] you need to calm down Jack and remember who's in charge
Jack: Audrey Raines is innocent
Karen: She slept with a known conspirator and lied about it: that doesn't concern you?
Jack: She slept with him once and lied about it because she was embarrassed, that hardly makes her part of this conspiracy
Karen: Why did Collette Stenger name her as a source?
Jack: She must've gotten Audrey's name from Henderson
Karen: Why would Henderson want to implicate Audrey?
Jack: Henderson doesn't want to implicate Audrey: his coming after me. His trying to make me lose focus, his trying to pull you off target, and his done it
Karen: These plans must have been made some time ago when Henderson had every reason to believe you that were going to be killed
Jack: Listen to me, this is what I do for a living. And the first rule of engagement is that you have a contingency plan and this is his and its working. You're getting ready to interrogate Audrey Raines? When you should be interrogating Collette Stenger because she still has information that we don't have!
Karen: Stenger has immunity. She's being protected by a federal Marshal: that's your doing. You made that deal
Jack: I know but if I can prove Collette Stenger is withholding information from us, that act alone negates her deal, I'll be able to start questioning her again, she will give me Henderson. Once I have Henderson, he will lead us to the nerve gas and that's what we're supposed to be focused on
Bill: What'd you suggest we do Jack?
Jack: Let me and Chloe find proof that Collette Stenger is lying to us
Jack: [to Karen] if you don't, we lose nothing but if we do, we can stop this thing from happening, I promise you please

Audrey: What happened?
Bill: Prado talked
Audrey: Who did this?
Bill: [Knowing she's not going to approve of what he says] Audrey...
Audrey: I'm a representative of DOD, I have a right to know
Audrey: [after his silent] did Jack do this?
Bill: Yes he did: it was the only way to get him to give up Marwan's location
Audrey: So President gave Jack the authority to use force?
Bill: No, the President didn't
Audrey: Where's Jack now?
Bill: His prepping a team to apprehend Marwan

Bill: [Talking privately] I'm stepping down as Director of CTU
Nadia: What? What happened?
Bill: All I can say is, I have to step down
Nadia: Sir, this doesn't make any sense: why would you quit now of all days?
Bill: I'm not quitting, I was fired
Nadia: By who?
Bill: It doesn't matter, I've contacted Division: for now you're Acting Director
Nadia: Sir, we're in the middle of fifty different things here, why would they do this to you now?
Bill: I can't talk about it. You have to accept it and do the best you can
Nadia: No, I don't understand why they would fire you. You're the most ethical, dedicated person I've ever known. There's no way you did anything to justify this. Damn it, what is going on?
Bill: It's just "politics." Division will be sending over an Interim Director in the next few hours. In the meantime, you can handle anything that comes up
Nadia: What about the extra redundancies and everything else that I've had to go through today? I'm not the "right choice" to take over
Bill: I've lifted all the restrictions on your security clearance: you shouldn't have any trouble running CTU. You are the "right choice"
Nadia: I don't know what to say
Bill: Stay on top of the situation with Jack
Nadia: I will
Bill: No one else knows I'm leaving. You have to inform them before it's posted on the internal forms
Nadia: I'll tell them

Bill: Unbelievable. That's what Graem was holding back?
Jack: Not only was he responsible for David Palmer's assassination, he directed the entire conspiracy. He was trying to protect the company. That's what he's trying to do now.
Bill: Incredible.
Jack: I wish it got us closer to the nukes, but it doesn't. He doesn't know where McCarthy is.

Bill: [Over the speakerphone as Chloe sits next to him] what'd you find at Omicron?
Jack: Christopher Henderson was responsible for the terrorists to gain control of the Sentox: he just tried to kill me by blowing up the bunker the Sentox was developed in. I managed to survive but unfortunately the servers that controlled the data were destroyed and Henderson managed to escape. Chloe are you there?
Chloe: Go ahead
Jack: Can you hack into Henderson's home office computer?
Chloe: I already did it, Henderson's home work station is clean. He "wiped" his hard drive five minutes ago, there's still an active socket
Jack: What's that mean?
Chloe: It means he was exchanging data with an offsite link
Jack: Can you locate it?
Chloe: Yeah, the registry listing is 5714 Terrawood Drive, Toluca Lake
Jack: Terrawood Drive? That's his home address
Bill: I'll send in a Tact team
Bill: No, Bill, I need to go in alone
Bill: Why?
Jack: Henderson's good, he'll be able to detect a tact team moving in
Bill: How do you want to "play" this?
Bill: He left me for dead, I'm the last he'd expect to see, I should be able to walk up to his front door
Bill: Alright, I want you in constant contact with CTU: Henderson is our primary link to finding this nerve gas
Jack: [Before hanging up] I know, I'll get back to you

Jack: [Over the phone] I'm inside Ontario airport, gunmen have just attacked and taken over Terminal One: their carrying automatic weapons, and they have hostages
Bill: [Over the speakerphone as Audrey listens nearby] we haven't received any alerts
Jack: Trust me, you will
Bill: What're you doing at the airport?
Jack: I'm following up on a lead. President Palmer knew of the planned attack, I believe that's why he was assassinated
Bill: [after Spencer gave him a interagency flash alert] we just got confirmation of the situation, I want you out of there now: turn yourself in. Let our people handle this
Jack: Understand this, I don't work for you, I'm staying inside. You want my intel? Fine but I'm doing this my way
Bill: How many hostiles are there?
Jack: Approximately ten to twelve, the gunmen have locked down the terminal, I'm going to sending you photos of the hostiles, they should be clear enough for you to identify them
Jack: [after sending the photos through his cell phone] one more thing: a woman is going to contact you, her name is Diane Huxley, I sent her and her son to CTU
Bill: Who are they?
Jack: I don't have time to explain but I'm responsible, just make sure their safe ok?

Bill: [Angrily, over the speakerphone] what the hell is going on?
Chloe: Jack didn't kill anybody: his being framed to cover up the real reason was assassinated
Bill: This is according to Jack?
Chloe: This is according to the man who killed Palmer. I heard his dying confession, you'll find his body at the oil refinery north of the city at Variel and Topanga
Bill: Do you have any evidence that Palmer's assassination has anything to do with the summit?
Chloe: No, Jack's trying to figure all that out
Bill: How? Where is he?
Chloe: I can't tell you
Bill: Why not?
Chloe: Because I don't think you believe him, I think your just trying to arrest him
Bill: I'm not going to ask you again, I'm ordering you to tell us where Jack is
Chloe: I'm sorry, I'd like to tell you but I can't

Karen: [after they enter the Situation room] we're minutes away: what's your status?
Chloe: Everything is set up. I've got a T-1 line to the Attorney General, the other two lines are secured under dedicated channels
Jack: What other two lines?
Bill: We're conferencing a representative from the House Judiciary Committee and congressional liaison: we need their support to call an emergency session of Congress to begin impeachment proceedings
Jack: Impeachment proceedings? What about an arrest warrant?
Bill: We'll never get Justice to indict a sitting President. We're moving him from offices as a necessary step to begin full criminal prosecution
Karen: Alright Chloe, check the sound levels, play the recording
Jack: [after they hear static] what's wrong?
Chloe: I don't know
Jack: What'd you mean you don't know? Where's the recording?
Chloe: This is what's on the digital media
Jack: That's impossible: see if there's an overlay, check your connections
Chloe: There are no mistakes
Jack: Damn it Chloe, you were responsible for this recording. What the hell happened?
Chloe: I just told you I don't know but if there was something on this memory chip, it's been erased
Jack: Someone got to that recording
Karen: Perhaps it was damaged in your attempt to retrieve it?
Jack: It wasn't. Chloe, who had access to this room?
Chloe: No one
Jack: [Raises his voice] someone did: who had access to this room? Think about it
Chloe: Miles was in here
Karen: What?
Chloe: You sent him in here to check up on me while I was setting up
Karen: I never sent him in here

Bill: [after sitting down next to her] I can't even imagine what you must be feeling, I know part of you is second guessing your decision but you couldn't place Tony's life over potentially over millions of people. You made the exact kind of decision Tony would've wanted you to make, that's our job, it's why we signed on
Michelle: [Nods] we decided we were going to leave "this." Go somewhere and start again
Bill: Michelle...
Michelle: I want to get back to work, we still have to find this missile
Bill: No, I want you to go home
Michelle: I'll be ok
Bill: That's not advice: that's an order

Jack: [while in the conference room] I don't understand the problem: David Palmer was murdered because he was about to expose Walt Cummings' connection to the terrorists. When Cummings failed to frame me for Palmer's murder, he tried to kill me
Bill: All that may be true but we don't have proof
Audrey: We can prove that Cummings used Spencer to get Jack's assassin into CTU
Bill: All we have is Spencer's word, that's not enough to build a case
Jack: You don't have time to build a case. You want the nerve gas? Cummings is your connection
Lynn: Cummings is the President's chief advisor, how exactly do you suggest we get to him?
Jack: I can secretly meet with Mike Novick: enlist his help
Bill: How do we know Novick isn't in this with Cummings?
Jack: Because I know him. He'll listen to me and the President will listen to him. With Novick's help, we can isolate Cummings
Lynn: As much as I appreciate you want to be involved, you don't work here anymore
Jack: That's exactly the reason why I should do this. If it backfires, there won't be any fallout on you
Audrey: I think it's worth a try
Bill: I agree
Jack: [to Lynn] it's your call
Lynn: Alright, just so we're clear, this is about finding the nerve gas, not getting revenge for David Palmer
Jack: Understood
Lynn: Work out your protocols with Ms. Raines, we'll keep looking through Cummings' background for anything that supports our case

Bill: [Over the phone] are you on your way to the Consulate?
Jack: Yes
Bill: Before you get there, you need to know something: there was an assassination attempt on President Palmer. He was wounded but we don't know the extent of his injuries yet
Jack: My God, how did this happen?
Bill: Details are still coming in, Secret Service thinks it was Assad
Jack: What?
Bill: They think he smuggled in some kind of explosive device into the White House bunker
Jack: That doesn't make sense, Assad was working with the President to stop Fayed
Bill: That's what he "said" he was doing
Jack: He wasn't lying
Bill: His dead: it doesn't matter if it was him or not, he can't help us stop Fayed, which means your following our only "live" lead
Jack: [Before hanging up] I understand, I'll get back to you as soon as I'm at the Consulate

Bill: What is it Lynn? I'm up to my ears with this operation
Lynn: Sit down Mr. Buchanan
Bill: Can you stop it with the "Mr. Buchanan"? We need to get this assault in motion now
Lynn: Sit down Bill
Lynn: I informed the White House the rescue operation is back on track
Bill: [after sitting down] thank you
Lynn: I must admit though I feel real inappropriate talking about an operation I didn't personally review so before you send your men into the terminal, I'd like to see the "playbook"
Bill: [Stands up] I can't have you micromanage my work, if you want to do my job, let me know and I'll go home
Lynn: Please don't be defensive. I'm not challenging you, I'm just trying to do my job
Bill: I'll have Chloe send it to your laptop, anything else?
Lynn: That's all for now
Lynn: [Before he leaves his office] Bill, fighting me isn't going to increase our chances of saving those people's lives

Bill: Lynn's in charge.
Audrey: He may be in charge, Bill, but he's not in control.

Bill: [Over the phone] are you ok?
Karen: I really need your help
Bill: I'm listening
Karen: Thank you, I know that you're angry with me and I don't blame you
Bill: What'd you need from me?
Karen: I just got off the phone with Jack: his being held in custody by CTU
Bill: Why?
Karen: Because they don't want him to interfere with an "ongoing operation"
Bill: What operation?
Karen: Philip Bauer is now in possession of the component
Bill: What?
Karen: And his "claiming" he will trade the sub circuit board for his grandson but Jack thinks it's a set up that Philip will get the boy, keep the component, make a deal with the Chinese, and I completely agree
Bill: Have you spoken to Nadia Yassir?
Karen: Oh, she won't budge on this thing: she's under direct orders from the Vice President
Bill: What're you asking me to do?
Karen: Whatever it takes to stop the exchange

Karen: [Over the phone] are you out? The field team's almost there
Bill: Chloe's packing up the COMM gear she needs to stay in touch with Jack
Karen: Where is Jack?
Bill: Van Nuys Airport: his stowed away on a diplomatic flight that just took off
Karen: What? Why?
Bill: His trying to find a recording that implicates President Logan
Karen: And someone on that flight has it?
Bill: Yes and we don't know who: that's what Chloe's been trying to find out

Lynn: Someone's "screwing" with me and I won't tolerate it
Bill: "Screwing" with you how?
Lynn: Audrey Raines' phone log has been erased
Bill: What?
Lynn: [Hands him the log on paper] take a look
Bill: Probably a system glitch
Lynn: It wasn't a glitch: she did it on purpose
Bill: Audrey? You think Audrey did this?
Lynn: I know she did
Bill: That's ridiculous. She's one of the most "by the book" people I know
Lynn: You don't go "by the book" when you're trying to hide something. Did you know she was on the phone with Jack right before he attacked Curtis?
Bill: No, I didn't know that: what does that prove?
Lynn: There's something going with these two, what's their history?
Bill: You know their history, they worked together at DOD
Lynn: There's more than that right?
Bill: It got personal later on
Lynn: Personal? And you didn't it was important to tell me that?
Bill: No, I didn't, what difference does that make?
Lynn: When did she find out Jack was still alive?
Bill: This morning with the rest of us
Lynn: You sure about that?
Bill: I was there, I saw her reaction
Lynn: It could've been an act
Bill: You're starting to sound paranoid
Lynn: I don't care how I sound. From this point on, I want all of our people on a tight leash, if someone has a hidden agenda, I want to know about it. CTU's become way too porous and that's your fault
Bill: I don't need to hear this from you
Lynn: You don't need to hear this from me? Then tell me why Audrey erased her phone logs?

Bill: [after Morris enters Bill's office] what is it?
Morris: [Hands him a piece of paper] I'd like to request a transfer
Bill: Why?
Morris: I need to get out of COMM
Bill: Do you want to elaborate on that?
Morris: Not really. No
Bill: You and Chloe having problems?
Morris: You could say that: yes
Bill: I'd hate to lose you in COMM, can we talk about this in the morning?
Morris: Nothing's going to change
Bill: You don't know that
Morris: I do. Look, figure out where you want me put me: anywhere is fine. Just get me out of COMM
Bill: Alright, I'll work "something" out that's good for everyone involved
Morris: Thank you

Tony: [after ending a conference call with the President] wait a second, does anybody else feel "uneasy" about what we just heard here?
Bill: In what way?
Tony: Logan is suppose to be the man who speaks to the country and exudes confidence: not fear
Bill: Air Force One was just attacked, President Keeler is in critical condition. Logan was just sworn in, give him time
Tony: We don't have time
Chloe: [after entering the conference room] we've got Yosik a traffic cam picked him up heading to the coast: we have him on satellite
Michelle: [to Chloe] link this up to Curtis, I want him running point on this takedown
Bill: [to Chloe and Michelle] tell Curtis to remain "discreet", I want to know what Khatami is doing and who he is meeting before we take him down

Tony: [Over the speakerphone] what've you got?
Bill: The second satellite pass is complete: we were unable to detect the missile with thermal imaging, there's just too much radiant heat from ground sources
David: This is President Palmer, is there a chance another satellite pass will find the missile?
Bill: The more data we have Mr. President, the better but a more intensive pass will take two to three hours
David: And we expect the missile to find its target before then?
Bill: Yes Sir, we do
David: Alright make sure FBI is on a real time link with all local emergency channels
Bill: Yes Sir, I'll get that done right now
David: I also want you to compile disaster scenarios for the urban centers within range of the missile
Bill: Sir, that's twenty of the largest cities in this country
David: I'm aware of that. I want death rates, fallout patterns, and emergency response predictions for all of them
Bill: Yes Sir, I'll take care of that right now

Jack: [Over the phone] what's your status on Henderson?
Bill: Henderson's still an active protocol
Jack: You need to make him a priority. Listen to me, I know Henderson, he couldn't have planned this: he's a soldier and a patriot. However misguided, he believes what his doing right now is right for the country, he was willing to let his wife die in order to protect someone very powerful
Bill: Who?
Jack: I don't know. I'm scared, I think this is bigger than anything one we could've ever imagined

Bill: [after entering an interrogation room] the guard said you wanted to see me?
Lynn: How long are you going to keep me here?
Bill: You're not going back out there anytime today: the District Marshall is preparing your case
Lynn: I need to ask you for a favor, I know I don't deserve it. I was unfair to you earlier
Bill: What is it?
Lynn: I need to make a phone call
Bill: If you think you're going to get out of this with a few phone calls, you're mistaken. I won't let that happen
Lynn: It's not that, I swear. I'll give you the number and you can clear it yourself
Bill: What's this about?
Lynn: My sister, I need to talk to her about a personal matter
Bill: It can't wait a few hours?
Lynn: No, it can't. Please, she's in a little trouble and I'm the only one who can help her

Mike: [During a briefing] we've got ground teams on all roads leading out of the Shadow Valley looking for Fayed and Gredenko but with SAT support dedicated to finding the drone, there's not much to go on
Milo: And CALTRANS doesn't have any cameras set up in the outlining areas
Chloe: [while entering the room with her laptop] Mr. Buchanan, we figured out how the drone was able to stay hidden from our satellite: whoever is piloting is able to anticipate our repositioning directives, flying through the gaps in the images
Bill: How could he do that?
Chloe: The satellite data is being relayed to the drone pilot from a work station here: we have a "leak"
Bill: One of our own people?
Chloe: Looks that way
Mike: Can you isolate the work station?
Chloe: No, it's being "masked" through a sub circuit. Morris is working on it now but there are over fifty stations in this building, it could take an hour to do a signature trace
Bill: We don't have an hour
Mike: [to Chloe] run a trace match on Nadia Yassir's station
Milo: [to Doyle] Why Nadia?
Mike: Do it
Milo: You think because she's a Muslim...
Mike: [Interrupts him] I'm following standard protocol: she's already "tagged" and been given restricted clearance
Mike: [Sternly to Milo] and yeah, she is a Muslim. That's enough to go on, everyone here is thinking it, even if they won't say it
Milo: [Points his finger at him] your racist
Bill: Milo, I understand your "distaste", we have to "vet" every system in the building, there's no reason not to start with her
Milo: No, sir, there's every reason. Nadia Yassir is one hundred percent loyal to this country, she is not a terrorist
Mike: Is this assessment based on some "private knowledge"? Or is it your "itching" to sleep with her?
Bill: [Yells to them after Milo and Mike grab each other, preventing them from fighting] alright, that's enough
Bill: [to Doyle] that was way out of line
Bill: [to Milo and Mike] we don't have time for your "personal differences." We have to find out whose subverting our system
Chloe: [after checking on her computer] it is Nadia. The signature trace matches her computer
Mike: Shut down her work station

Bill: [Over the phone] what'd you get from the drone pilot?
Jack: Nothing: his dead
Bill: We've been running down leads on this end, so far nothings come up on Gredenko
Jack: Doyle told me about the fallout, he said it was "containable"?
Bill: I'm afraid it's not that "simple." The incident's created some serious policy "complications" in Washington
Jack: Like what?
Bill: Vice President Daniels has ordered a nuclear strike against Fayed's country
Jack: What's he trying to do? Start World War Three? That'll be seen as an "act of aggression" by the entire Middle East
Bill: Which is why we have to find Fayed and Gredenko before Daniels launches the strike
Jack: When is it happening?
Bill: Within the hour
Jack: [Before hanging up] that doesn't give us enough time to find Gredenko. I'll get back to you

Jack: [while in the monitoring room, referring to Weiss] Marwan called him Amnesty Global: this is his play
Bill: That means Prado definitely knows something Marwan doesn't want us to hear, we still get around that court order
Jack: We need to call the President now

Ethan: [Referring to Henry Taylor getting shot during his rescue] I am so sorry Madam President
President: Ethan, I'm going to the hospital to be with my husband
Ethan: That is not possible: you're "executing" a military invasion
President: My Generals can "execute" it perfectly well without me
Ethan: We can't ignore the fact that the Secret Service is compromised, there's no way we can ensure your safety outside the White House
President: [Raises her voice] I don't give a damn, I am not going to be held prisoner in this Office while my husband is fighting for his life: now either find someone to take me to the hospital or I'll drive there myself
Bill: [Walks closer to her] Madam President, you know my record of service, if it's "acceptable" to you, I'm willing to "assume" responsibility for your security
Ethan: Bill, your no longer "credentialed", you no longer have the authority
Bill: [Sternly] until we capture Dubaku and interrogate him, we have no idea who in the government is working for him
Bill: [to Taylor] you do not know who to trust
President: But I can trust you?
Bill: I brought this conspiracy to your attention Madam President, I would "hope", I earned it
President: What'd you need from me?
Bill: Reinstate my government clearance, "allow" me the "authority" to vet White House staff, and "allow" me to bring in one of my people into FBI, to provide Larry Moss with tactical support
President: Who is it you want to bring in?
Bill: Chloe O'Brian, I can "vouch" for her: she's the best there is
Ethan: [to Bill] her clearance was also revoked when CTU was decommissioned. Isn't there anyone "capable" of handling these duties without having to reinstate her?
Bill: [to both of them] "someone" in the Bureau is on Dubaku's payroll, until we find out who it is, Larry Moss can't take the "chance" of bringing his own people into the manhunt for Dubaku
President: [to Bill] alright, the Director of White House Secret Service operations is Agent Hovis, I'll order him to turn over security protocols over to you
Bill: I know Ted Hovis Madam President, his not going to like this, his going to "fight" us
President: Well considering agents under his charge are responsible for what happened to my husband, I don't give a damn what he likes. You'll have your "provisional" appointment Mr. Buchanan under the authority of this Office
Bill: Thank you Madam President
President: You can "thank" me by getting me to the hospital
Bill: [Before leaving] I'll make the arrangements
Ethan: Madam President...
President: [Interrupts him] your "concerns" are clear to me but I've made my decision
Ethan: I'm only trying to do my job: looking out for your interests...
President: [Interrupts him] my "interests" right now is catching Iké Dubaku. He has killed scores of Americans today, he tried to kill my husband, and he has corrupted our government. Whatever it takes I want that son of a bitch found

Lynn: [Over the speakerphone with Jack patched through] this is Lynn McGill. You also have Bill Buchanan, Audrey Raines, Chloe O'Brian, and Edgar Stiles in the room
President: [Over the speakerphone as Mike Novick stands nearby] go ahead
Lynn: Sir, we're calling for your decision on a critical operational matter
President: What is it?
Lynn: Jack Bauer is currently undercover with some of the terrorists: their expecting Jack to help them release a single canister Sentox nerve gas in the Sunrise Hills Shopping Mall, where they are right now
President: Well then arrest them, what's the problem?
Lynn: Sir, the problem is if we don't maintain Jack's cover, there's no guarantee they'll lead us "back" to the other nineteen canisters
President: [Raising his voice] do you mean actually let them release the Sentox? Are you out of your mind?
Bill: This is Bill Buchanan, I had the same initial reaction then I looked at our updated scenarios: with the help of other terrorists organizations, the remaining nineteen canisters can be deployed at other more crowded public areas such as subway stations, hospitals, and sports arenas Sir. The loss of life could exceed hundreds of thousands of people
President: My God
Mike: What kind of casualties are you predicting at the mall?
Lynn: We don't have exact numbers but based on video surveillance, our best guess is between eight and nine hundred
Audrey: Sir, many of them are children
Mike: Can't you evacuate the mall?
Lynn: Not without the terrorists knowing
President: The public will not tolerate the government's complicity in this
Lynn: They wouldn't know Sir, this would be a covert decision. We're monitoring the terrorists, we know with a hundred percent certainty that when they leave the mall, their going back to the remaining canisters
President: What's your recommendation?
Lynn: Bill Buchanan and I agree that the "greatest good served" would be to allowing them to release this single canister of Sentox nerve gas
Audrey: And I believe Sir that we have no right to sanction the lives of innocent people: we should take our chances, interrogate these men and find the location of the other canisters
Lynn: We're running out of time. We need your decision Sir
President: This is a field operation, it's up to you
Bill: With all due respect, it's not. We don't have the legal authority to make this decision, only you do
President: [Before putting them on hold to talk privately to Mike] you're putting me in a terrible position, Mike?
Mike: CTU has laid out the facts well, you have to make the call
President: [after reconnecting with CTU] alright, the terrorists are forcing us to make a tragic choice. I'll go along with your assessment, let them release the Sentox but you better find those other canisters or those people would've died in vain

Bill: [Over the phone] where are you?
Karen: I'm still at the airport waiting for my plane, why? What's up?
Bill: About a half an hour ago there was an attempt on the President's life
Karen: [Shocked] what?
Bill: They won't know the full extent of his injuries until he regains consciousness
Karen: There's been nothing of this in the news
Bill: It hasn't been made public yet: the Vice President's on his way back to the White House, his already "assumed" Executive Duties
Karen: I have to go back
Bill: You think Daniels will have you back? You already tendered your resignation
Karen: Nothing's been processed: technically I can withdraw my resignation. I've got to go back, I'll call you when I get there ok?
Bill: [Before hanging] alright

Cheng: [Before Bill enters the room] I am surprised after you were kidnapped, that you stayed on to work here: that must have been very difficult for you
Audrey: Well, I wasn't physically hurt and I wanted to try and help find the people who planned these attacks
Cheng: Very admirable, I looked through the hourly's for Mr. Bauer, your associate from the Defense Department. I noticed from 1am to 3 am, you and he were working on some data processing tasks?
Audrey: Yes, that's correct
Audrey: And what analyst did you give this information to?
Audrey: Edgar Stiles: why does that matter?
Cheng: They go through all this trouble to re-enlist a man who used to run this place, Jack Bauer, and his doing data processing?
Audrey: Well, it's much more subtle than it sounds. There are hundreds of lists that have to be cross referenced, and with Mr. Bauer's experience, we were able to narrow the search
Cheng: I am surprised
Audrey: Why's that?
Cheng: I mean no disrespect, the log shows that your husband Paul Raines was at the clinic at the same hours and unfortunately he passed away
Audrey: What's your point?
Cheng: I don't believe you were with Jack Bauer mining data, that you were waiting for your husband while he was in surgery, and that you're lying to me now to cover for Mr. Bauer
Bill: Mr. Cheng, I'm not going to stand there and allow you to accuse my people of lying
Cheng: No and I'm not going to stand here to endure "half baked" alibis
Audrey: You can believe whatever you want: my answers stand. Now if we are done I do have to get back to work, if you will excuse me

Lynn: [while in an interrogation room] what is it?
Bill: We just got a call from LAPD: they found your sister's body in her apartment, she's been shot
Lynn: What? I just talked to her today, I saw her. That's impossible
Bill: I'm sorry, the police ID'd her body
Lynn: My God
Bill: If you need a phone to make some personal calls or talk to the police
Lynn: Her boyfriend did this to her: tell me his in custody?
Bill: His name Dwayne Thompkins?
Lynn: Yeah
Bill: He didn't do it, they found his body too. The police are trying to make sense of something. Do you know if either your sister or her boyfriend were involved in dealing drugs or had ties to organized crime?
Lynn: She was a pretty serious user but organized crime? No way, why?
Bill: The killings were clearly the work of a professional
Lynn: My God, I need to see preliminary forensics. Who's investigating? I have to talk to them
Bill: I can arrange a meeting
Lynn: No I have to talk to them now. They have to search the apartment, see if my key card is there
Bill: What're you talking about? What key card?
Lynn: My CTU key card, she has it
Bill: What is she doing with your key card?
Lynn: It was stolen from me alright? Her boyfriend took it
Bill: Why didn't you report this?
Lynn: I'm reporting it now: we don't have time to argue about this. Call and see if anyone used it to breach security, it was taken about... four hours ago

Renee: You say Bauer and Almeida are working undercover but CTU's been shutdown, if you're telling me the truth, who's running this operation?
Bill: [Referring to himself and Chloe] we are: we're not working with any agency. We believe there's been widespread infiltration of the government by Dubaku and the Juma regime
Renee: Ok, I need to contact my boss, he needs to know I'm ok
Bill: You can't do that
Renee: Why not?
Bill: Dubaku has informants in the FBI. If they found out your alive, they'll know Jack is working against them: you don't know who you can trust
Renee: [Sternly] you can trust Agent Moss
Bill: You're not listening to me: you cannot contact the FBI. You will jeopardize this operation and I won't let you do that
Renee: Well, I don't work for you, I work for Larry now give me a phone
Bill: We're nearing the "end game", Dubaku is the "key" to finding who in the government has been corrupted. Look, we may have "something he wants
Renee: Matobo?
Bill: He's our best chance to locate Dubaku and "acquire" the CIP module, to get to the bottom of the government corruption. Until all that "happens", you have to "stay dead"

Bill: [while entering the conference room] alright, I want to introduce everyone to Mike Doyle: his the new head of Field Ops just in from Fort Bragg. I want all tactical and COMM agents to report to him directly. Jack Bauer is currently being held captive in the Russian Consulate, I haven't opened up that information to anyone on the outside. Doyle will help you put a tactical profile together for an assault on the Consulate
Milo: So we're prepared to provoke an international incident just to "liberate" one of our own operatives?
Mike: No, "liberating" Jack is a secondary goal: our "primary" objective is to abduct Anatoly Markov, the Consul. Now according to Jack, Markov knows how to find Gredenko who controls the remaining three suitcase nukes
Milo: Excuse me. Is nobody worried that this can be considered an "act of war" against the Russians?
Bill: Ultimately, it's the Vice-President's decision, if we go in or not. If Jack is right and Markov is working with Gredenko, the Russians will have to back down
Chloe: [after entering the conference room] Sir, Logan is ready for you
Bill: [to Chloe] thank you
Bill: [to everyone, while leaving] I want a comprehensive search profile on my desk ASAP
Mike: Who has the control keys for the main servers?
Nadia: I do
Mike: Bracket the scenarios into three, I want projected outcomes based on different levels of personnel
Milo: [to Doyle] "Normally" when we run a general attack assessment...
Mike: [Interrupts him] I don't care what you "normally" do and I wasn't speaking to you, I was talking with her
Milo: Yeah, it was so weird I had this "thought" that you might come here and not be a jerk, like you were in Denver but you are
Mike: That's right, just like Denver
Mike: [to everyone] let's get to work

Karen: [Over the phone] have you heard from Fayed?
Bill: Not yet, no
Karen: The President's worried: Fayed should've contacted us by now
Bill: There may be a problem. There's a possibility Fayed could be going back on the deal
Karen: What're you talking about?
Bill: He caught us trying to track Jack
Karen: The orders were he was to have a "clear field"
Bill: I know what the orders were. Chloe thought there was a work around, she did it without authorization
Karen: [Angrily] damn it, how could you let this happen? She is your responsibility, if we don't take out Assad...
Bill: [Interrupts her] I don't need a lecture, I know what the stakes are
Karen: I don't think you do. If these attacks don't stop, there are people in this Administration that are willing to tear up the Constitution in the name of National Security. The things they are talking about doing, this country will never recover
Bill: As soon as I hear from Fayed, you'll be my first call
Karen: [Realizing she's taking out her stress on him] I'm sorry
Bill: There's no need to apologize: we're all feeling it
Karen: [Before hanging up] I have to go

Audrey: [Talking privately] Homeland has been overly aggressive in their survey: what is going on?
Bill: Nothing, it's just a formality, they'll be gone as soon as they finish their evaluation. Where are we on the military mobilization?
Audrey: Martial Law is in effect in nine out of the fifteen LA districts, there are checkpoints throughout the city right now
Bill: The President's done the right thing

Karen: [Over the phone] it's me: have you gotten anything from Fayed?
Bill: Jack's interrogating him but frankly his not optimistic about "breaking him." What's going on?
Karen: The President's gone ahead with the missile strike
Bill: He what?
Karen: His launched it
Bill: Why?
Karen: I don't know why: he fought the Vice President to regain his Office and now his just going to ahead with Daniels' plan, it doesn't make any sense. We've got to stop this. Can I tell the President you that have a "solid" lead from Fayed on the location of the suitcase nukes?
Bill: You're asking me to provide a pretext to bring the missile down, I can't do that. Fayed's not talking, Gredenko's dead, I don't have anything

President: [Over the speakerphone as Mike Novick stands nearby] what'd you have for me?
Bill: I'm here with Michelle Dessler Director of CTU Los Angeles and Tony Almeida, heading up tactical
President: Good, let's get started: have all of our armaments referenced in the red chapter been secured?
Michelle: Not completely but we're working with DOD on that
President: What else do we know?
Michelle: The man who choreographed today's events Habib Marwan is still at large. Most likely he is in possession of the red chapter
President: What're we doing to find him?
Tony: We just picked up a thread Sir, we have a location of where one of Marwan's associates was detected twenty minutes ago
President: That sounds promising, what else?
Michelle: We're sifting through all of our intel now: we're hoping to put together a pursuit "scenario" soon
President: So you're pretty confident you'll catch this terrorist Habib Marwan before he strikes again?
Michelle: It's not an exact "science" Sir, all we can do is maximize the probability for success: there are no guarantees
President: [Raises his voice] of course I understand that, we need to get control of the situation. I can't run the government down here indefinitely but I'm not going back up there until its safe

Bill: We have to do better than we're doing, and we have to do it faster!

Bill: [after she enters his office] what is it?
Chloe: I've been trying to reach Jack on his cell but his not answering
Bill: Try his back up teams
Chloe: I've tried: they're not answering either: maybe he had them all go "dark"
Bill: They wouldn't do anything without telling us first. Send in support units, see if they can get a visual
Chloe: Fine
Bill: And keep trying Jack
Chloe: Alright

Bill: [Over the phone] I'm sorry I'm late for the briefing: tell the President we're still tracking Fayed through McCarthy
Karen: I just had to resign
Bill: Resign? What're you talking about?
Karen: I can't get into it right now but I've asked to be reassigned to CTU as an onsite liaison
Bill: You can't leave the President today: today of all days
Karen: [Sternly] you think I would do this if I had any other choice?
Bill: Lennox had something to do with this, didn't he?
Karen: I cannot talk about this right now, I will see you in a few hours ok?

President: [after sitting down, to Jack, Bill, and Renee] I want an explanation and I want it now: what the hell is going on?
Jack: Madam President, six weeks ago Bill Buchanan discovered that key members of your government were working with General Juma and Colonel Dubaku in an effort to undermine this nation's foreign policy. Your foreign policy with regards to Sangala
President: You realize that is an outrageous accusation?
Jack: Yes ma'am, unfortunately it's the truth. It explains that during this crisis, every effort you've made to stop Dubaku failed
President: Bill, why didn't you come to me?
Bill: I didn't know who I could trust or if you'd even believe me: so I formed a small group to locate and "neutralize" Dubaku. Tony Almeida and ultimately Jack joined me
President: Tony Almeida was the one who put the CIP device in Dubaku's hands in the first place
Bill: Using the CIP device as "bait" was necessary to the undercover operation, we had to follow it back to Dubaku
President: [Raises her voice] a lot of people died on those planes: never mind what could've happened at the chemical plant in Kidron
Renee: Madam President, if I may, I was part of the FBI taskforce assigned to recover the CIP device, and I can personally "vouch" for what they're telling you. The loss of life was tragic yes but in my opinion "everything" these men have done saved the lives of thousands
President: If I "choose" to "believe" everything you're telling me, where would you go from here?
Jack: Dubaku is the only person with the names of the people who betrayed you within your government, its imperative we find him. We would have to work "under the radar." Any word of an investigation, people will start running for cover
Ethan: [to Jack] you're saying we can't even involve the FBI or Homeland?
Jack: Yes sir, that's correct

Bill: Chloe, we don't have time for your personality disorder!

Bill: [to Curtis and Michelle] we have a problem: this is David Weiss from Amnesty Global
David: And I have a signed court order here protecting the rights of one Joseph Prado whom you have in custody. This US Marshall is to assure I'm taken to the prisoner immediately
Curtis: [Looking at the court order] this is ridiculous
David: That's your opinion
David: But Mr. Prado's rights will not be violated: take me to him now
Bill: [to Curtis] we have no choice, do what he says
Curtis: [to Bill] there's a nuclear warhead missing, this is our only lead
Bill: I'll get into this with the Justice Department, in the meantime, do what he says

Bill: [to Taylor after rushing into the hospital waiting room] I'm sorry to interrupt
President: It's alright, go ahead
Bill: I just spoke to Larry Moss at FBI: we captured Dubaku. He was seriously injured in a car crash during a pursuit
President: How bad?
Bill: Critical, non-responsive. Jack Bauer and Agent Walker are with him and they'll be there to question him should he regain consciousness
President: So you're saying if Dubaku dies, our chances of uncovering this conspiracy dies with him?
Bill: He could be the only one who knows the names of everyone in the government his corrupted: yes. Madam President, given this latest news, I don't think it's safe for you to remain here. I strongly urge you to return to the White House
President: I prefer to stay with my husband
Bill: You're too "exposed", I can't effectively protect you
President: Am I any safer at the White House? My Administration has been corrupted and now you're telling me we're about to lose our only lead
Bill: Madam President, I assure you I've taken every precaution to secure the White House: it's the safest place for you to be right now
Ethan: [to Taylor] Henry will be in surgery for several hours, there's nothing more we can do here. You are needed in the Oval Office
President: [after thinking it over] alright
Bill: I'll have the cars brought around, also redirect your daughter's escort to the White House

Karen: [Over the phone] hi, it's me
Bill: How's President Palmer?
Karen: Not good: the doctor says he has a cerebral hemorrhage. They don't know the extent of the damage but obviously his not able to serve, Daniels is going to "assume" the Office and the first "wave of his hand", is he wants to stop Jack's operation. Jack has to return to CTU as soon as possible with the component
Bill: Does the Vice President understand the "circumstances" under which Wayne Palmer agreed to this?
Karen: No, his not that kind of man, he doesn't operate in "shades of gray"
Bill: Does he understand Jack's not going to give up without a fight?
Karen: You just have to get Jack back to CTU as soon as possible ok?
Bill: [Before hanging up] ok I'll take care of it

Bill: [Over the speakerphone in the Situation room] it's Bill, Karen Hayes is here as well. If you're with Theo Stoller, get some place you can talk privately
Jack: [Over the speakerphone on his cell phone as Stoller listens] I can't, we're in the middle of an operation, if I move, and I'll jeopardize our position
Karen: Then you'll have to have this conversation in front of him: have you given him the "wet list" yet?
Jack: Yes
Karen: Has he given it to German Intelligence?
Jack: No
Karen: [Before Jack and Theo draw their guns on each other] then get it back now
Jack: I can't, if I do that Stoller won't cooperate, and then we'll lose Collette Stenger. Bill, would you explain this to her?
Karen: It's not his decision: it's not his decision. Retrieve the "wet list" now or I will order Agent Manning and his team to do it
Jack: Right now Collette Stenger is our only connection to Bierko, if you blow this operation, you will be responsible for every life lost in his next attack
Karen: I don't like to be threatened
Jack: That's not a threat, that's a fact
Karen: German Intelligence will move preemptively in on people we have been watching for years: our ability to prevent terrorist attacks will be severely threatened
Jack: And that's risk we'll have to take. Right now we have to deal with "this" situation
Karen: It's not your call, it's not mine either. We need authorization from the President
Jack: Then get it
Jack: [after Curtis informs him Stenger is arriving at their location] we have a possible suspect approaching. Ms. Hayes, are you telling me I have to abort this operation? Yes or no? This is your call
Karen: You don't know for certain this woman will lead us to Bierko
Jack: No, not for certain. Right now she's our only lead, are you willing to take this chance?
Karen: You left me no choice: proceed but you have severely compromised this situation and I promise you, there will be repercussions
Jack: [Before hanging up] fine

Karen: [while in Bill's office] give me details of the current threat assessment?
Bill: There's a high probability Bierko is planning an attack on a much larger scale than anything we've seen today. That's why he targeted CTU: cripple our ability to stop him
Karen: And the question is, was he successful? When you look at the numbers, you were harder hit than you thought
Bill: We're still functioning, maybe not at a hundred percent, when you install the people I asked for, we'll be back to fighting strength
Karen: Have you made any progress finding Bierko?
Bill: We've identified a woman who might lead us to him: Collette Stenger

Audrey: How could you let Jack torture Prado?
Bill: [Before taking her aside to talk privately] it had to be done
Audrey: The President made it very clear: he didn't want Prado's rights violated
Bill: That's right he did make it clear and he was wrong
Audrey: We can't just break protocol because we think it was right at the time and expect to get away with it
Bill: Normally, I'd agree with you but in this case "I'd rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission"
Audrey: What kind of answer is that?
Bill: The answer is it worked: we got Marwan's location. With all due respect, this is not Washington DC, policy and politics don't always work on the front line which is where we are today
Audrey: Yes but Charles Logan is a politician and he is not going to give you "forgiveness." I "hope" this does not come back to haunt you or Jack
Bill: If what we did gets us to Marwan, we'll live with it

Bill: [Talking privately] I've noticed a little hostility on your part, if it's about me and Michelle.
Tony: It's not my business, as far as the hostility goes, I can promise you it's over with.
Bill: Whatever you say, one more thing: I think the world of Michelle, I love working with her. Outside work we never got off ground. She never said why but it didn't take a genius to figure it out. She cared about you and she still does.

President: [Over the phone] the news is saying there was some kind of explosion inside the terminal
Bill: Everything's under control Sir: our tactical units are in position, the go time is ten minutes
President: Then what caused the explosion?
Bill: We're not entirely certain Sir, we believe our man inside may have been trying to stall the execution of the hostage and he triggered the bomb vest of a hostile
President: Did you authorize this action?
Bill: No Sir, he acted "independently." You should know the man we're talking about is Jack Bauer
President: Jack Bauer?
Bill: He was in the terminal when the terrorists attacked. His been helping coordinate our operation from the inside Sir
President: I thought that Jack Bauer assassinated David Palmer?
President: There's mitigating evidence that Bauer may have been framed
President: What evidence? What're you talking about?
Bill: It's complicated
President: Why am I just hearing about this now?
Bill: I didn't want to "distract" you with "details" that could wait until after we resolve this hostage situation Sir
President: [Raises his voice] you tell me everything and I will decide which details are relevant
Bill: With respect Mr. President, we don't have time
President: Then talk faster

Karen: [to Chloe, while in the Situation Room] alright, what do we have?
Chloe: Out of the fourteen names on list, only one has an active cell phone: Joseph Malina
Christopher: Joseph Malina is an arms dealer, he used to be a military contractor until they accused him of selling secrets, they couldn't prove anything, so he beat all the charges
Jack: You know him?
Christopher: Well enough. I did business with him before and after he was arrested
Karen: [to Chloe] what do you have on him?
Chloe: Malina got a twelve second call on his home phone at 4:03am from a payphone in Van Nuys, not far from the ambush site. a minute later, the same payphone got a call back from a GSM SAT phone
Bill: In other words, he took the phone number down and called from an untraceable line: sounds like our guy
Karen: [to Bill] tell Curtis to mobilize his tactical team
Christopher: Hang on. Now what good is that going to accomplish? If your bring Malina in here, you think his just going to roll over on Bierko? He didn't cut a deal when he was busted before, his not going to cut a deal now and even if you can crack him, I don't think you can, you're going to need hours. You don't have hours
Jack: [Sternly] what do you "suggest"?
Christopher: I "suggest" you send me in to talk to Malina, I'll find out what Bierko got from him
Jack: I don't think so
Christopher: [to Jack] don't be stupid, you know you can't get anything out of this guy, his computer makes this place look like an internet café: his got the most absolute most sophisticated state of the art security system including a Phoenix Shield
Bill: We can get through it
Chloe: Not a Phoenix, it has a poison code firewall, any attempt in circumventing it the hard drive does a "cold" erase at which point, you can forget about retrieving any data
Karen: [to security, referring to Henderson] take him back to holding

Bill: [while visiting him in CTU medical] how you feeling?
Tony: They told me they took Michelle to Cedars?
Bill: Yes, they couldn't treat her here
Tony: Why? How badly was she hurt?
Tony: [after Bill gives him a worried look] is she going to be ok?
Bill: As far as I know, yes
Tony: What the hell is going on here? They tried to kill President Palmer, they tried to kill Michelle and me
Bill: David Palmer was the primary target: they killed him because he was going to expose someone inside Logan's Administration to set up Jack to take the fall
Tony: Did they get Jack?
Bill: No, he's alive. His working with us here on a provisional basis
Tony: I need to talk to Jack
Bill: You need to get some rest
Tony: I don't need to rest, I need to talk to Jack now
Bill: Alright, I'll tell him
Tony: Thanks, could you do me a favor? Could you get a message to Michelle? Tell her I'm ok
Bill: I will: we need you to get better

Bill: You called for me?
Tony: [while being treated in CTU medical] yeah
Bill: What's going on?
Tony: That's what I wanted to ask you
Bill: What'd you mean?
Bill: What'd you think I mean? My wife was killed this morning: right in front of my eyes and nobody here has told me who did it and why
Bill: The investigation is "ongoing"
Tony: Come on, I used to work here. I know that's what you say to people when you don't want to tell them the truth
Bill: The truth is you're not an agent anymore, what you're asking me is classified. It doesn't matter what I tell you, there's nothing you can do
Tony: [Angrily] I know there's nothing I can do. look at me for God's sake, I just want to know who did it, I think for the sake of all the years I've given this place and all the sacrifices I've made, I deserve to know, don't you?
Bill: All I can tell you is Michelle's murder was part of a "bigger plan", to supply terrorists with Sentox nerve gas
Tony: Who's behind it? Who's responsible?
Bill: The highest we've been able to get in the chain of command is someone you might know from when you worked here: Christopher Henderson
Tony: What? Why?
Bill: We're working on it
Tony: [Shaking his head] don't let him get away with this, don't you let him cut a deal
Bill: [Before leaving] I won't

Bill: You have no idea what you're dealing with you little ass kisser!

Bill: [as Chloe overhears their conversation] do you have those hourlies for me?
Edgar: No, I don't but I'm here on another matter
Bill: [Confused] you're what?
Edgar: I heard the interrogation on Prado's been put on hold?
Bill: That's correct
Edgar: Why?
Bill: You have a job to do: please get back to it
Edgar: I know I'm not supposed to be interfering on matters of policy but considering what I've been through today, my mother dying because of these terrorists, I want to know why we're letting some slimy lawyer protect a dirt bag like Prado
Bill: We're not happy about it either and we're going to fix it but it's going to take some time
Edgar: That's time we don't have
Bill: [Insistently] stop, I'm trying to cut you some slack here but you need to get back to your job, you need to put all that other stuff on hold for a while, please?
Edgar: Yes sir

President: [Over a speakerphone with Mike Novick nearby] how did Marwan get pass your men?
Bill: They had to move in before they were ready
Mike: Why?
Bill: Secret Service showed up to take Bauer into custody which compromised one of our positions
President: [Stunned] I didn't mean... that's not what I meant to have happened
Bill: With respect Sir, your orders were explicit
Mike: What other search protocols are you running?
Bill: None: we're essentially without a lead
President: Give us a few minutes, we'll get right back to you

Bill: If the President is unable to fulfill his duties Vice-President Logan will have to assume Office: at least on a temporary basis. Cabinet will need to be briefed on the circumstance surrounding the crash
Tony: Yeah I'll take care of it
Bill: Not all Cabinet members are "equal", State and Defense need more detail than say Agriculture and Treasury
Bill: [Raises his voice] yeah, I can handle it
Bill: I just want to make sure the transition is smooth
Tony: I understand but I do know what to do

Lynn: [Rushing into the conference room] stop the assault
Bill: [to Audrey] get Curtis on the horn
Bill: [to Lynn] what're you talking about?
Lynn: Their walking into a trap: look at the transcript
Lynn: [after opening his laptop] when Jack issued the command directive, he used the term "flank two"
Bill: Yes, he was trying to give us his position inside the terminal
Lynn: No, he wasn't, "flank two" is a duress code used to indicate the agent is communicating under duress
Bill: We ran Jack's calls through a protocol filter: if there'd been a duress signal in there, we would've found it
Lynn: You filtered it through the current codes. When Jack was active, "flank two" is a duress code
Bill: [to Chloe] run that
Lynn: Jack's trying to tell us his being used to send misinformation. If Cutis Manning's team goes in now, they'll be ambushed
Chloe: [after checking their filters] his right
Bill: [Over the speakerphone] Curtis, abort the countdown, repeat, abort, abort
Curtis: Stand down, all teams stand down. We're aborting entry, confirm we're standing down. What's wrong Bill?
Bill: We detected a duress code in Jack's call: we have to assume the terrorists are feeding him the information he gave us. Redeploy your men to the original assault plan, and do not contact Jack, if Jack contacts you, buy time

Bill: [During a CTU briefing] according to Charles Logan, Anatoly Markov head of the Russian Consulate in Los Angeles has information on Gredenko. Logan and Bauer are going to see Markov now. I want COMM locked on any communication outside and possibly inside the Consulate. Morris, are you still the lead on decoding diplomatic communication leaving the Consulate?
Morris: Yes
Bill: I want you to hand that over to Chloe
Morris: [Surprised] why?
Bill: Because of what you've been through today, I'm not sure you can handle it: we can't afford any mistakes
Morris: Look, I'm...
Bill: [Interrupts him] Chloe, I want you to take over Morris' workload on the Consulate
Morris: Hold on, I said...
Chloe: [Interrupts him] it's ok Morris
Morris: [Before standing up] no, it's not ok. I'd like to say something to everyone, I'm very sorry that I gave the programming device to Fayed, if I could take it back I would but I can't and if you don't think I can do my job Mr. Buchanan then I should leave but I can do my job
Bill: Ok Morris, I'll give your task full priority
Morris: [Sits back now] thank you
Nadia: Mr. Buchanan, I have to disagree with your decision. I'm sorry Morris, I just don't think you're ready
Bill: Your objection is noted Nadia, but my decision stands

Jack: [Over the phone] are you still in briefing?
Bill: Yes, you're on speaker, what've you found?
Jack: Fred Lawton and I just found a rough reconstruction of the red chapter: we're getting that over to you now
Bill: It's Bill Buchanan, summarize our exposure, what information exactly does Marwan now have in his possession?
Jack: The red chapter lays out the location of our domestic nuclear arsenal. The inventory is in thousands, many of the weapons are in transit as part of our standard shift operations
Audrey: Why can't DOD just secure these weapons?
Bill: Because the number of weapons are in-between checkpoints, it would take over an hour to account for all of them. Listen everyone remember Marwan only needs one
Bill: Alright, we'll get on this immediately. Get back here as soon as you can and help Audrey liaise with DOD, we need to account for every single weapon documented in that chapter
Bill: I'm on my way

Bill: [Over the phone] hi, I've got Jack we're on the way
Karen: I just... I wanted to thank you. You didn't have to do this, you made a big sacrifice
Bill: I'm not the only one: it won't be long before they figure out I was able to locate Jack
Karen: Yeah well, they already have, I've just been denied access, their probably on their way to arrest me. Listen, I don't know when we'll speak to each other again so I just want to let know that I'm so sorry and I love you very much
Bill: Me too

Bill: [Over the phone] what'd you have?
Jack: Gredenko offered us Fayed in exchange for immunity and a guarantee we won't extradite him back to Russia. Bill I don't trust him: he "rolled over" too easy
Bill: What'd you think his "play" is?
Jack: I don't know yet
Bill: It's your call but you should know what's happening in Washington. President Palmer's regained consciousness
Jack: How is he?
Bill: Well enough to reassert his Presidency but Daniels is challenging him under the twenty fifth Amendment in part so he can go ahead with the nuclear strike on Fayed's country
Jack: Does he have a chance of winning?
Bill: It's unclear. If Fayed detonates another bomb, no one will be able to stand in Daniels' way
Jack: If this is a challenge for the Presidency, the immunity agreement will have no authority: it won't be binding. Bill you need to understand I have no intention of honoring this agreement. Tell the Attorney General to draw up the papers

Bill: [Briefing CTU staff] Vice-President Logan has been sworn into Office: he is now President of the United States. His Office called, they want an update from us in fifteen minutes
Michelle: We're working on several protocols related to the plane crash, what is he going to want to focus on?
Bill: His going want to know how a steal fighter was stolen from one of our air bases, more to the point, how it was able to take down Air Force One with one of our own missiles
Michelle: Has he been briefed on Marwan?
Bill: He knows Marwan is the mastermind behind today's attacks: yes but his going to want specifics on the football, where are we on that?
Tony: Jack's in a debrief field outside Indio. His trying to reconstruct the red chapter of the playbook that was stolen by Marwan
Bill: How's he doing that?
Tony: His working with Fred Lawton from the Department of Defense: he wrote the code, so he'll know what's missing
Bill: Good
Michelle: Who's going to run point on this update?
Bill: You and Tony
Michelle: Alright everyone, we don't a lot of time so we're going to have to fast track this. Double source all Intel through Homeland Security and CIA, skip the usual request procedures, and tie to their data directly

Bill: [During a conference call] Mr. President, this is Bill Buchanan, I'm here with Jack Bauer
President: Yes Bill, what'd you have for me?
Bill: Sir, in the process of trying to track down this missing warhead, we brought in a prime suspect for questioning
Mike: What've you learned?
Bill: Well, that's the problem Sir, right now our hands are tied: Amnesty Global has interceded on his behalf
President: Interceded on what grounds?
Bill: His a US citizen with no previous record
President: Why is he a suspect?
Bill: We found him with Yosik Khatami, a man linked to today's terrorist events
President: I don't understand, it doesn't violate any law to question a suspect
Mike: [Asking permission to join their conversation] Mr. President, if I may?
President: [to Mike] go ahead
Mike: [to Jack] am I correct in assuming this suspect is unlikely to respond to the kind of Q and A his lawyer would permit?
Jack: That's correct: if we want to procure any information from the suspect, we're going to have to do it behind closed doors
President: You're talking about torturing this man?
Jack: I'm talking about doing what's necessary to stop this warhead from being used against us
President: [to Bill, before Walt presses the hold button] give a moment

Karen: [while in an interrogation room] we're offline: now we can talk
Bill: You can continue this charade of me being under arrest if you want to but Jack needs our help
Karen: And his getting it but make no mistake I am still in charge of this facility and until I see that evidence, I must remain skeptical
Bill: Have you talked to Chloe?
Karen: Yes
Bill: What's Jack's status?
Karen: His searching the cabin for the evidence but the pilot is going to land that plane
Bill: How much time does Jack have?
Karen: Fifteen minutes
Bill: To search over fifty passengers? That's impossible

Curtis: [Briefing CTU staff on a monitor] the warhead was stolen here: in eastern Iowa, we don't know yet how it's being transported
Bill: Are we monitoring air traffic?
Curtis: Yes, so far nothing's been picked up
Tony: If they have to stay on the ground, how far could they have gone?
Curtis: Based on our latest information, a three hundred mile radius which includes three metropolitan cities
Tony: Have those cities been alerted?
Bill: The President wants to keep that information restricted for the time being
Curtis: We have raised local alert levels, we haven't mentioned specifics
Bill: Marwan and his people have control of a nuclear warhead. We have to figure out when and where he'll set it off. I want you to look at everything: from satellite to local police, we have a small window. It's still in the middle of the night, if Marwan leaves a trail, it's going to be a hell of a lot easier to follow it now than in two hours when people start going to work. Let's get to it

Spenser: [after security escorts him to an interrogation room] sir, what's going on?
Bill: You've been "burrowing" into CTU's classified protocols without authorization
Spenser: [Attempting to lie] I don't know what you're talking about
Chloe: Stop, I know you logged onto the security substation where you had no right to be: we're going through your system so you might as well tell us now what you were doing
Spenser: I told you I was...
Bill: [Interrupts him, raises his voice] that's enough. You've accessed files outside your clearance level eighteen times in the last four months you've been here
Spenser: Sir, whatever it is you "think" you "found", it's a mistake. I've done nothing wrong
Chloe: Come on, you obviously have your own agenda here
Spenser: I don't have an agenda here
Chloe: While you're at it, why don't you explain why it was necessary to crawl into my bed which certainly what it didn't appear to be? Just like your work here isn't what it appears to be
Bill: [Seeing her become emotional] let me handle this
Spenser: Sir, obviously you can't take anything she says into consideration. I was careless and inadvertently I caused her some emotional pain
Chloe: [Disgusted with him] oh, please
Spenser: Now she's trying to get back at me
Bill: [Sternly] I don't think so
Spenser: Sir, I'd like to talk to a lawyer
Bill: Forget about lawyer: we're in the middle of a terrorist crisis. There are lives on the line, you're going to tell us what you've been doing here and you're going to tell us now

Charles: [Through video conference as Mike and Walt stands nearby] not to diminish the loss we're all feeling right now but I am expecting the Russian President very soon, so let's say what needs to be said
Bill: Of course Sir
Charles: Have you arrested the person who did this?
Bill: Not yet Sir
Charles: Then what do you have?
Bill: Sir, the damage inflicted by the single shot indicates President was hit by a 308 caliber bullet: fired from an adjacent building. We've initiated an interagency protocol Level 5...
Charles: [Interrupts him] don't give me protocols, give me results. Whoever did this, I want them dead or in custody by the time the Russians get here
Bill: Yes Mr. President, until we know more, I would ask you postpone the signing of the treaty Sir?
Charles: [Adamantly] no, absolutely not
Bill: Mr. President, we can't discount the possibility this attack is somehow connected the arms agreement: a former President was assassinated fifteen miles from where you are and I'm sure I don't need to explain the significance of this day
Charles: Do you realize what kind of political and economic capital I've spent just to get the Russians to come to the table? If I call this off, they won't come back

Bill: [Over the phone] the police just vetted a call from a woman who her son is being held by terrorists
Jack: Is she creditable?
Bill: I'm not sure yet: she says she was held for a couple hours but she got out somehow
Jack: Is she on the line?
Bill: Yes, her name is Jillian Wallace
Jack: Patch her through
Bill: Ms. Wallace, this is Bill Buchanan, I'm transferring you to one of our men in the field
Jack: Ms. Wallace, my name is Jack Bauer, you said your son is being held by terrorists?
Jillian: Yes and his forcing my husband to deliver a package
Jack: What kind of a package?
Jillian: I don't know: there are other people involved
Jack: What's the name of the man holding your son?
Jillian: Ahmed Amar
Jack: Did he mention any other names?
Jillian: Yes. One, Fayed
Jack: How do we reach your husband?
Jillian: You can't. He isn't carrying his cell phone
Jack: Do you know where he was taking the package?
Jillian: No, I'm sorry. Whatever you do, just don't let him hurt my son
Jack: Ms. Wallace, we're going to do everything we can. Just stay away from the house and we'll get back to you

Karen: [Over the phone] are you alright?
Bill: We're beyond the point of the blast: we're fine. What's going on over there?
Karen: The Secret Service moved us down to the bunker and the President is about to meet with the Joint Chiefs. Do you have anything new?
Bill: Here's what we know: the bomb went off as we were moving in on Fayed's safe house
Karen: Do you think their presence prompted the detonation?
Bill: It could have. It's possible they were prepping the bomb in Valencia, hoping to move it to a more populated area
Karen: Is there any chance Fayed could be alive and have those four other bombs?
Bill: We don't know: we're running intel now
Karen: What about Assad?
Bill: He's on his way here. We're hoping he can help us find Fayed
Karen: Alright, keep me in the loop and please be careful
Bill: [Before hanging up] I will

Jack: [Over the phone] where are we on Rossler's immunity agreement?
Bill: We have the Attorney General's sanction: you should have the document in a few minutes
Jack: Ok good, did we get any information on the girl?
Bill: There isn't much. Inessa Kovalevsky, reported missing nineteen months in Kiev, the assumption is she was kidnapped by traffickers in the sex slave trade, she's fifteen
Jack: [Before hanging up] fifteen? Ok, thanks, I'll get back to you

Bill: Tell me the latest on Lee?
Tony: He just got out of surgery: Dr. Besson thinks he'll be able to respond to questions soon
Bill: [Before entering Michelle's office] alright, when that happens, I want everyone from COMM on standby. Whatever Lee gives us I want it worked up without any time lags
Michelle: [after hanging up the phone] that was Secretary of State Taylor: he just authorized the head of security at the Chinese Consulate to come here and question us about the raid
Tony: What? In the middle of all this?
Bill: Alright, this breaks down very simply, they want to prove we attacked the Consulate tonight, we have to make sure they can't do that
Tony: That ambush is going to land on someone
Bill: Mike Novick's working on that from Washington. We just have to make sure all of our bases are covered over here. Finding that nuclear warhead is our number one priority. I'm going to go over the strategy with Jack, when Cheng gets here, send him to the situation room, make sure all of our visible screens are masked

Bill: [Over the phone] we have Jack
Karen: Good
Bill: I thought I was "prepared", his worse than I expected: much worse
Karen: I know how hard this must be for you but everything depends on this operation
Bill: I understand
Karen: I know you do. I wish I were there with you
Bill: You're where you need to be
Karen: I miss you
Bill: [Before hanging up] I miss you too, I have to take Jack to the drop point now. Bye

Bill: [Over the phone] we just got word from the field teams at your brother's house: Graem's dead
Jack: What happened?
Bill: We'll know more after an autopsy. All signs point to cardiac arrest
Jack: Because of the interrogation?
Bill: The medic on site believes that was the factor
Jack: My father knows?
Bill: Yes, he was there. But your sister in law and nephew were already on their way to CTU when it happened
Jack: I'd really appreciate it if you can break the news to them
Bill: Of course

Mike: [Over a speakerphone] we're all here: go ahead
Bill: I'm afraid Marwan's associate, the woman we hoped would help us locate the missile, has killed herself and one of our agents
President: Oh my God
David: Did she leave behind any physical evidence that could help us?
Bill: It doesn't appear so
President: So what is CTU going to do now to find the missile?
Bill: Mr. President, at this point, CTU no longer has any reasonable expectation of finding the missile before it reaches its target
President: This is it: it's going to happen. What do we do?
David: At this point, we have no choice but to alert all state and federal agencies and focusing all of our resources on managing the aftermath
President: [to David] but we don't even know the missile's target
David: No, we can "assume" it will be a major city but no matter what the target is, there will be wide spread panic across this country: we need to mobilize the Army and the National Guard in every state and draw a declaration of Martial law
President: Yes, we need to do that
Mike: Bill, all federal agencies need to prepare for the aftermath of a nuclear attack. CTU's priority should be "disaster management." Redeploy your people now
Bill: [Before hanging up] understood

Bill: [Over the phone] we now believe Gredenko is in possession of at least five RQ2 aerial drones: somewhere in the Shadow Valley
Vice: RQ2?
Bill: Unmanned stealth aircraft that can piloted remotely from anywhere in the world
Vice: And Gredenko's armed them with the nuclear weapons he provided to Fayed?
Bill: Yes Sir, we're redirecting satellite coverage over the Mojave Desert and the Air Force is scrambling F-16's from Edwards
Vice: But you have no idea how close Fayed and Gredenko are to launching these drones?
Bill: No Sir, we don't
Vice: [Before hanging up] alright, keep me updated

Bill: Lynn, I owe you an apology
Lynn: For what?
Bill: If you hadn't recognized the duress code, Jack transmitted...
Lynn: Bill, you're the reason I figured out what he was doing
Bill: What'd you mean?
Lynn: I admit I was suspicious of Mr. Bauer, but you were so adamant about his integrity that I looked for a way to reconcile the contradiction: so thank you. I assume Mr. Bauer's been taken into custody?
Bill: We'll have time to debrief him here but not as a suspect
Lynn: Well, he hasn't been officially cleared in the deaths of David Palmer, Tony Almeida, or Michelle Dessler
Audrey: Well, based on mitigating evidence, and Chloe O'Brian's testimony: we're confident Jack was framed for murders
Lynn: I appreciate that but it still doesn't change our "entangled" situation. We have surveillance footage of places Jack Bauer at the site of David Palmer's as assassination
Bill: Clearly, it was doctored
Lynn: Not according to preliminary tests. If we're going to get to the bottom of this, Jack Bauer has a lot to answer for. Bring him in: now

President: [Over the speakerphone] you're also on with Walt Cummings
Bill: Sir, CTU has a suspect in custody in the assassination of President Palmer
President: Good: who is it?
Bill: It's Jack Bauer Sir
President: Jack Bauer is dead
Bill: We've all been living under that assumption Sir
President: I don't understand, what makes you think its Bauer?
Bill: CTU has verified surveillance video placing Jack Bauer at the same time in the same building the sniper who killed President Palmer
President: Let me be on clear this: your saying Bauer shot David Palmer?
Bill: We're proceeding under that assumption, yes
President: Why? For what possible reason?
Bill: David Palmer may have known Jack Bauer was alive. Knowledge he shared with three other CTU agents, all whom have been targeted in the last hour
Spenser: The man does have a history of insubordination, irrational behavior, and drug addiction
Bill: Jack Bauer has a history of great service to this country
President: How does this affect your threat assessment for the summit?
Bill: We're still recommending you delay or reschedule until Jack Bauer is apprehended
President: [Sternly] you have a suspect: find him

Michelle: What did LAPD say?
Bill: They're keeping certain units in reserve...
Michelle: [Interrupts him] but they're sending more patrol men to help Jack right?
Bill: They're sending nine over there now and they're going to try to pull another twelve from the...
Michelle: [Interrupts him] nine? That's not nearly enough: we'll have to reassign our people. Send them over there now
Bill: I've taken care of it
Michelle: [Sternly] when? We need people there now, this woman has to be captured
Bill: Everyone understands what's at stake here. We're going to do our best to find this woman but we have to remain calm or everything will spiral out of control
Michelle: Your right, I'm not being objective. I'll admit it, I'm worried about what this woman will do to Tony but I will not lose sight of the "big picture"
Bill: The "big picture" is we have to apprehend this hostile: alive, nothing else matters

Jack: That was LAPD command: they've combed the area, they can't find any witnesses
Karen: None?
Jack: 4am in the middle of a curfew, there was simply no one there
Bill: Then we've got nothing
Karen: We've got Henderson
Jack: What about him?
Karen: Henderson set up Bierko with the nerve gas to begin with
Jack: No, we've already been down that road and you know that
Bill: That was about protecting Logan. If Henderson says his a patriot as he says he is, his not going to want those terrorists to succeed
Jack: [to Karen] trust me, you're wasting your time: his not going to help us
Karen: He will if we offer him a deal
Jack: And that's not going to happen
Bill: Jack...
Jack: [Sternly to Bill] no, not this time, not this man
Karen: We're running out of options here. This is about saving lives, not indulging a grudge
Jack: You think this is about a "grudge"? He killed an ex-President of the United States. He tried to kill the Secretary of Defense, you want this man to walk with full immunity?
Bill: It's not about what anyone wants. It's about doing what needs to be done: nobody understands that better than you. Bierko is going to kill innocent people, Henderson might be our only chance to stop him. What would David Palmer want you to do if he were here? The best way to honor his memory is to make the choice to save others
Jack: Obviously, I can't stop you from doing this. If you're going to give him a deal, at least let me present it

Audrey: [Over the speakerphone as Bill stands nearby] DOD just concluded a briefing with Russian intelligence, we were given a name: Vladimir Bierko. He made billions in the post soviet economy, in weapons and oil, he bankrolled several underground radical publications promoting the separatist cause but it's believed his more than just a sympathizer
President: The Russians thinks his financing these attacks?
Audrey: They think his directing these attacks himself
President: Based on what?
Audrey: A number of communications that were intercepted by the Russian Security Force supported by the fact that Bierko vanished from Russia three months ago
Bill: We posted Bierko's profile to the interagency servers: Homeland Security has issued an emergency brief to all local law enforcement
President: Do you think there's any hope of finding him before the attack on Tyler Memorial Hospital?
Bill: The most promising lead is a man named Christopher Henderson. Unfortunately, he escaped: Jack Bauer believes there may be files on his computer that could lead us to Bierko. His trying to acquire those files now Sir
President: Let's hope he succeeds, the country's already suffered three devastating attacks today. We need to stop this madman

Chloe: [after entering his office] Morris just put something on your B window
Bill: [Looking at his computer monitor] Gredenko's contacts: good
Chloe: Look at number seventeen
Bill: Chairman of BXJ Technologies, Philip Bauer
Chloe: Jack's father
Bill: Did you get anything specific?
Chloe: No, BXJ does a lot of business in eastern Europe. This could be a purely coincidental linkage
Bill: Yeah well, it's not
Bill: Most of their contracts are highly confidential, I'll look into it
Chloe: [while he picks up the phone, before leaving] calling Jack?
Bill: Yeah
Bill: [Over the phone] Assad just gave us the name of Russian General Fayed contacted a year ago about the nukes. The General's name is Gredenko, you know him?
Bill: [after Jack says no] It turns out your father does
Jack: My father? Are you sure?
Bill: Yeah Gredenko did business with BXJ Technologies specifically with your father
Jack: What kind of "business"?
Bill: We don't know: that's why we want to talk to him
Jack: I don't understand this. Is my father a suspect?
Bill: No, his name came up on a list of people who had contact with Gredenko, we're going to question him. I wanted to check with you first to see if you can shed any light
Jack: I haven't spoken to him in over nine years
Bill: Alright, we'll send someone over to talk to him
Jack: Wait, I should do this
Bill: We can run this
Jack: You don't have enough time: he'll talk to me if I go alone
Bill: Are you sure?
Jack: [Before hanging up] yeah

Jack: [to Jack after he enters the Situation Room] what do we have?
Karen: Henderson gave us fourteen names he believes Bierko is going to contact first: Chloe is doing a phone and pulling up relevant data
Karen: [to Bill] is tactical standing by?
Bill: They're on priority alert. I put Curtis Manning in command if that's alright with you?
Karen: I trust your judgment
Jack: [to Karen] security's getting ready to bring in Henderson in here for a debrief
Jack: [to Bill and Karen after noticing Audrey walking past the Situation Room, before leaving to talk to her] excuse me one second

Bill: [Over the phone, referring to the leader of the terrorists holding hostages at Ontario Airport] his name is Anton Beresch: he's a member of the Dawn Brigade, a separatist movement blamed for numerous terrorist bombings in Russia
President: [Over the speakerphone] sounds like the kind of terrorist organization today's accord was designed to combat
President: Bill, I have no intention of calling off this signing much less making a public statement at that affect so that gives less than ninety minutes to rescue the hostages
Bill: We're already operating on that time table, we have a unit on the ground: we're making an onsite assessment
President: Spare the agency "pattern", just get it done
Bill: Sir, you need to be aware, we should be prepared to accept additional civilian casualties
President: More casualties?
Bill: It's a possibility we have to face Sir
President: [to Mike, pointing at him] I'm not prepared to accept any such thing. Bill, it's your job to get those people out of there alive
Bill: Mr. President, the terrorists are wearing explosive vests: they've threatened to detonate themselves and the hostages if any attempt is made to retake the terminal
President: I'm aware of the situation
Mike: Bill, have you tried initiating a dialog with the terrorists?
President: Yes, what about talking to them? Have you tried that?
Bill: Beresch placed the call to an airport police sergeant: it was a blocked number but we're in the process of back tracing it
President: Look, whatever you do, make sure it's done by the deadline. When I put my name on that accord, I do not want to be signing the death warrant of American citizens
Bill: [Before hanging up] yes, Mr. President

Bill: [after introducing himself] you're no longer a suspect in President Palmer's murder: while you're here, you'll need this
Lynn: [while handing him a security card] I gave you a Level 2 security
Jack: [Puts the card in his shirt pocket] thank you. Was Agent Manning able to apprehend the suspect?
Lynn: No, it seems the person you identified used the hostage situation as a "cover" to steal a cash of weaponized nerve gas from the airport
Jack: Nerve gas? How do you know that?
Lynn: Following your lead, Curtis found trace amounts in a hanger adjacent to the terminal. We don't know how much there is and don't know where it came from but it is a military grade chemical weapon
Jack: Do you have any leads?
Lynn: Not yet but we're going to run the search operation from here
Jack: You're not going to be able to track these terrorists fast enough with a standard search operation. The only way you're going to get that nerve gas in time is if you find out who ordered the hit on David Palmer
Lynn: I agree, I think David Palmer was about to expose this plot: that's why he was killed. I also think if you can help identify who framed you, we can intercept the nerve gas while there's still time
Bill: [Walking up to them, to Lynn] the President's been informed of the nerve gas, he wants to make sure the media doesn't find out
Lynn: I'll make sure Division restricts information flow
Lynn: [to Jack before walking away] we'll continue this conversation another time
Bill: [Shaking hands] it's good to see you again
Jack: It's good to see you too. I'm so sorry about Michelle, I never meant to put her in jeopardy
Bill: Of course you didn't
Jack: How's Tony doing?
Bill: His still unconscious but the doctor says his going to pull through
Jack: Good: we're going to need to speak to him as soon as possible
Bill: [Referring to the staff at the clinic] they know to call us. Audrey's been working for us
Jack: [Surprised] she's here in the building right now?
Bill: She's debriefing Diane Huxley
Jack: Why is she talking to Diane?
Bill: Lynn asked her to

Howard: [Over the phone] I got a message to call you when I landed in San Diego
Bill: Are we on a secure line?
Howard: Yes sir, it's an encrypted cell
Bill: The Chinese are continuing to press the case that we were involved in the assault on their Consulate
Howard: Have they managed to find evidence beyond the surveillance video of me?
Bill: No, and we have to make sure they don't. I want you to start fabricating an alibi with CTU and San Diego, I want you to make it look like you were working there during the assault
Howard: My transport's arriving right now, I'll get right on it
Bill: The alibi has to withstand careful scrutiny: San Diego phone logs, roasters, and mainframe records all have to back it up
Howard: It'll be air tight sir
Bill: It has to be
Howard: Sir, about my family: any chance the Chinese will try to get to them?
Bill: They can't. We've already contacted your wife moved her and your kids to a hotel for the time being, I'll be in touch
Howard: Thank you very much sir

Dmitri: [after hanging up the phone with his lawyer] good, my attorney has verified the agreements
Jack: [to Bill over the phone] we're set: Gredenko is ready to make the call
Bill: Alright, we'll be standing by. Doyle's got a team ready to go as soon as Fayed tells Gredenko where his going to meet him
Jack: Copy that
Jack: [to Gredenko] if you try and warn Fayed, in anything you say or how you say it, I will kill you right here right now
Dmitri: I believe you
Jack: Make the call
Abu: [Over the phone as CTU monitors the call] yes?
Dmitri: It's me
Abu: Do you have the security protocols for the power plant?
Dmitri: Yes, where do you want to meet?
Abu: Are you certain you're not under surveillance?
Dmitri: Of course. Do you think I'd be calling you otherwise?
Abu: I can't allow another one of your mistakes to disrupt my plans for the remaining two devices
Dmitri: Do you want the protocols or not?
Abu: Where are you right now?
Dmitri: Culver City
Abu: Meet me in the Santa Monica Pier in ten minutes
Dmitri: It might take me more time
Abu: I won't wait
Dmitri: Where do I find you?
Abu: [Before hanging up] just be there, I'll find you

Bill: [Over the speakerphone in the Situation Room] the casualty estimates has risen in ST. Louis to a hundred and twelve: the mall attack in Baltimore is even worse, over two hundred dead, many of them children
President: [Over the speakerphone in the Oval Office] my God, what about the bomb in Los Angeles?
Bill: We confirmed that Jack Bauer averted the attack at Union Station. Passive surveillance from metro transit has also confirmed his working with Assad
President: Have you been able to make contact with him?
Bill: No Sir. Jack's been "dark" since he called to warn us about Fayed and we didn't listen
President: "I" didn't listen
Bill: [after Nadia tells Bill of the call] Mr. President, we're receiving a call on a scrambled channel from Fayed: demanding to speak with you
President: Put him on
President: [after walking closer to the speakerphone] this is President Palmer
Abu: [Over a cell phone] Mr. President, we've proven we can strike anytime, anywhere but I am prepared to offer you a ceasefire: if you meet my demands
President: Your demands? Fayed, we've mentioned "demands" before remember? When you deceived us about Assad being the one behind these attacks and now you just expect me to accept your assurances of a ceasefire?
Abu: I expect you to take any action that avoids the loss of more American lives
President: What do you want?
Abu: You are holding one hundred and ten so called "enemy combatants" at your Palmdale military facility in violation of International Law: you must have all these "freedom fighters" on a non-military aircraft in the air by the end of the hour. The pilot will be informed of the destination once the plane is outside your airspace
President: Even if I agree to this, there is not enough time...
Abu: [Interrupts him] you'll find a way because if you don't release the prisoners by the deadline, the consequences will be immediate and devastating. I will only make this offer once Mr. President. For your country's sake, I hope you accept it

Lynn: [Talking privately] I can't have you talk to me like that in front of these people
Bill: Your right, I'm sorry
Lynn: Are we clear on who's in charge here?
Bill: Yeah, but my advice stands: if this order jeopardizes our chances of finding that nerve gas, it's your responsibility to ignore it. At least until we can make our case to the White House. You also have to learn to make decisions faster
Lynn: Bill...
Bill: One more thing that comes with experience, if we don't do everything in our power to stop these terrorists, we're not doing our job
Lynn: [after thinking it over] ok, disregard the order
Bill: [Before urgently walking away] thank you

Bill: [Meeting privately, after Jack introduces Wayne and Bill to each other] what the hell is going on here?
Jack: The military authority, every law enforcement agency in the country has a warrant for my arrest
Bill: What for?
Jack: Killing David Palmer
Bill: That's impossible: we cleared you this morning
Jack: I'm being set up again, this time by President Logan. He was complicit in David Palmer's assassination
Bill: By now, it's serious
Jack: Logan's using the military to try to stop me from exposing him
Wayne: [to Bill] we have the evidence: a digital recording of a conversation between President Logan and Christopher Henderson
Jack: [to Bill] I need to get the recording to Secretary Heller. His going to take it to the Attorney General, and file for the warrant but until that Wayne's a target. I need you to take him somewhere safe
Bill: Of course I will
Bill: [to Jack] where are you going to meet Heller?
Jack: Van Nuys Airport

Bill: [During a briefing] since the FAA wasn't able to track Fayed's chopper, we have to assume its set down somewhere outside the "containment" area: we may not know where Fayed is but we know his in possession of a device that will enable him to activate the three remaining suitcase nukes in his arsenal. Our only "potential lead" was uploaded from the hard drive of a laptop at the scene recovered by Jack Bauer and his team, Milo?
Milo: There was an email fragment I was able to restore from the computer's hard drive, it made reference to recent communications between Fayed and Dmitri Gredenko. Gredenko is the former soviet General in charge of turning over Russian nukes to the US for decommission. Ultimately, he was the source of the weapons Fayed now possesses
Nadia: So clearly Gredenko is more involved than we realized? What's interest in helping Fayed?
Bill: Gredenko is an ultranationalist: his desired to harm this country economically and otherwise is in sync with Fayed
Nadia: Have we got any updated intel on his location?
Bill: Interpol just confirmed his no longer in Moscow, since the point of origin of the fingerprint on the email fragment was Pacific Time. I think it's safe to assume his somewhere on the west coast: possibly Los Angeles. Chloe, run a data sweep through INS and Customs channels, see if we can "track" how he got into the country

Edgar: [Referring to surveillance footage, during a CTU briefing] preliminary analysis indicates the video hasn't been doctored
Bill: And means Jack was in the building as the sniper fired from at the same time President Palmer was assassinated
Audrey: That's impossible: this whole thing is impossible. Bill you were there when Jack was shot. He had no pulse, no vitals
Bill: And I have no idea how Jack staged his own death but I understand his reasons, he was about to be handed to the Chinese government to spend the rest of his life in prison
Audrey: None of that explains why Jack would want to kill David Palmer
Bill: I had Curtis pull the phone logs. Palmer, Tony, Michelle, were all talking to Jack right when he was supposedly "killed". Our working theory is that they conspired to help Jack fake his own death
Audrey: Now you're saying Jack is behind the attack on Tony and Michelle too?
Audrey: [after Bill nods] why would Jack want to kill the people who helped him?
Curtis: "Something" may have happened: he stopped trusting them to keep his secret
Audrey: Jack would never murder his friends
Bill: Audrey, I don't want to believe Jack did this either but right now it's the best explanation for the evidence we have, I'm sorry. The White House needs to know about this
Audrey: [Before walking away] yeah, I'll call the President
Curtis: [to Bill] I had Adamson run a data recovery operation on Tony's phone records: they show Chloe was on those calls with President Palmer and Tony
Edgar: Chloe knew Jack was alive?
Curtis: Apparently
Bill: [Looking at his watch] we called her in an ago. She should've been here by now
Edgar: [to Bill] I tried to call her on her cell but she's not answering. I wanted to run a locator but Spencer talked me out of it
Edgar: [to Spencer] if anything happens to her it's your fault
Bill: [to Spencer] have Adamson track her cell: we need to try to get to her before Jack does
Bill: [to everyone] put out an interagency alert, Jack Bauer is now the prime suspect in President Palmer's assassination, emphasize that his a former agent, well trained, and should be considered extremely dangerous

Bill: [after greeting each other] it must be hard for you to be back here
Audrey: Thank you, I'm fine. I'm sorry about Michelle, Walt Cummings briefed me on the way over here, and he said you wanted to postpone the signing of the treaty
Bill: President Logan is making a mistake
Audrey: I don't disagree
Bill: Have you let him know that?
Audrey: His the President, it's his call
Bill: That's what I'm afraid of
Audrey: He wants me to make sure your top priority is still security for the summit
Bill: Station five is set up for you: when you're situated, we'll go over the revised security protocol
Audrey: Great, thank you

Jack: I think I might have a lead
Bill: What is it?
Jack: Charles Logan
Bill: Logan?
Jack: I just spoke to him: he says he has information Gredenko
Bill: How the hell did you trace this to Logan?
Jack: My father, I need you to get me a helicopter to take me to him
Bill: His in his retreat in Hidden Valley under house arrest
Jack: House arrest? How is that possible? He was involved in the murder of David Palmer
Jack: He brokered a "closed door" deal. He pled guilty to Obstruction of justice, the public never knew of his involvement in aiding terrorists or in David Palmer's assassination
Jack: Get me that helicopter
Bill: We have one in the area, it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes for it to be rerouted to your location

Bill: [Over the phone] I have a minute: you wanted to talk about "something?"
Karen: The DOJ investigator found out about Seattle, when you and Homeland had Fayed in custody
Bill: "Found out"? It wasn't a secret: we did everything by the book, I can deal with DOJ
Karen: Yeah I know but the problem is they're out for blood. I can't let this "touch" me
Bill: "Touch" you? What're you talking about? Why is this suddenly an issue? Are you concerned I might "implicate" you?
Karen: No, but obviously there's "guilt by association" here
Bill: Their looking for a scapegoat
Karen: Yes, the pundits and the press are looking for "anything" to attack the Administration
Bill: What're you saying?
Karen: I have to protect the White House and in order to do that I have to distance myself from you
Bill: How are you going to do that? I'm your husband
Bill: [after Karen doesn't respond] you're asking me to resign?
Karen: No, I have to fire you
Bill: Who's pressuring you?
Karen: This is the only way this can "work" and it has to happen immediately or I'll be viewed as complicit and my ability to stay on as National Security Advisor will be undermined
Bill: Undermined? We're talking about the end of my career
Karen: You don't think I've thought this through?
Bill: No, I don't
Karen: You don't think that I don't know what this means to you?
Bill: [Raises his voice] no, I don't. Because the public will make "assumptions" that don't exist: thirteen thousand American lives lost, I had the man in custody who was responsible and I released him. It won't matter that I had no evidence to "hold" him
Karen: You know how this "works." One of us has to take the fall and it can't be me, I'm too close to the President
Bill: I can't believe I'm hearing this: who is pressuring you? What're you not saying?
Karen: You have to trust me on this. We will get through this, I promise and I love you and that's all that should matter here
Bill: Is it?
Karen: [Before he hangs up] yes

Bill: [Over the speakerphone inside the Situation Room] Mr. President, there's some new information you need to consider in regards to the airstrike on Assad. I'm on the line with Jack Bauer: he escaped from Fayed
President: [Over the speakerphone inside the Oval Office] What? How?
Bill: I'm not sure but his requesting we abort the airstrike against Assad
President: For what possible reason?
Bill: According to him, Assad is not the one behind the attacks Sir
Karen: Bill, that is insane, what is Jack basing this on?
Bill: He has an explanation but he wants to talk directly to the President
President: Put him on
Bill: You're on with the President Jack
Jack: [Over a cell phone] Mr. President
President: Jack I am so sorry...
Jack: Sir, I'm sorry we don't have a lot of time: did Bill Buchanan explain to you about Assad?
President: Yes he has but I have to tell you something, we're all very skeptical here. What's Assad doing in this country if his not behind these attacks?
Jack: He's trying to stop them. His trying to stop Fayed
President: So you're saying Fayed is carrying out these bombings?
Jack: Yes Sir, Fayed admitted to me that Assad is planning to renounce terrorism, his trying to mainstream his organization. He wants to bring them into the political process. Fayed wants to stop that from happening, Fayed is behind the recent wave of attacks
Karen: Jack, this is inconsistent with twenty years of terrorism on Assad's part, his organization has waged nonstop war against the west. His responsible for hundreds of deaths
Jack: I'm aware of Assad's history and I am still telling you there's sufficient cause to call off this strike
President: What if we change the strike to a ground assault? If we capture Assad...
Karen: Sir, we cannot afford a ground assault, we have to take him out now: while we've got the chance
Bill: Mr. President, if Jack is right and we've got the wrong man, it's a risk we have to take
Karen: Jack has been in a Chinese prison for twenty months. His ability to access the situation is highly "questionable." I believe he is being "played"
Jack: I know what I heard and I am not being "played"
Tom: [to Palmer] with all due respect to Mr. Bauer, I think Karen is right
Jack: Mr. President, you want to stop these attacks? You need to stop Fayed and in order to do that, you need to capture Assad, and find out what he knows. Sir, he might have the only hope you have
Tom: [to Palmer] I know your history with Mr. Bauer runs "deep" but don't let that impact your judgment here
President: We have the opportunity to eliminate Assad, we have to take it. Bill I want real time progress on that airstrike
Bill: I'm sending you a video uplink now Sir
Jack: Mr. President, don't do this
President: Jack, I am sorry, I really am

Jack: What the hell's going on here? You've got a key witness and a missing warhead, we should be pressing this guy with everything we've got
Bill: The judge won't budge, if we want to appeal, we have to wait until 7am to take it to an Appellate judge
Jack: Does he know what the stakes are?
Bill: He does but his feeling if Prado has no record, he shouldn't be like a terrorist
Jack: What about the fact he was caught meeting with a known terrorist in the middle of the night on a pier?
Bill: Circumstantial
Jack: We need to interrogate this prisoner, I don't care what kind of court order their waving at you
Bill: I agree but his got his attorney with him and a US Marshall protecting his rights
Jack: Where is his attorney?
Bill: In holding with Prado

Bill: [Briefing Secret Service Agents] the goal is to make it "look" like we're going to "hand" Matobo over for as long as "reasonably" possible. When you get to the rendezvous point, keep your distance from Dubaku's men: let them see you in the back seat but don't get out of the car, don't let them get any closer than you feel "comfortable" with. As soon as you feel like the risk is "unacceptable", get the hell out, that's straight from the President, clear?

Mike: [Over the phone] I'm sorry for the delay but the President is still working through his decision
Bill: The President won't have to make that call
Mike: What're you talking about?
Bill: Prado gave up Marwan's location
Mike: I thought Prado claimed he didn't know anything?
Bill: He did: he changed his mind
Mike: You mean Bauer physically coerced him? Tell me what happened?
Bill: Bauer got the information we needed, I think it's best if I insulate you from the details
Mike: [Angrily] the President gave explicit orders: you should've restrained Bauer
Bill: With all due respect, "restraint" isn't a luxury we can afford right now
Mike: What am I suppose to tell the President?
Bill: Convince him to sign off on the "extreme" interrogation and we'll change the timeline in the official record
Mike: I made the mistake of deceiving one President, I won't make the same mistake twice
Bill: Even though we both know Bauer was right? Someone out there has one of our nuclear warheads. May I speak off the record?
Mike: Go ahead
Bill: I'm worried about President Logan
Mike: Worried? Why?
Bill: His behavior over the last few hours, I'm concerned about his ability to lead us through this crisis
Mike: [sighs, before hanging up] I understand
