- Jack Bauer: [while in a CTU SUV] you ok?
- Kate Warner: Yeah
- Jack Bauer: Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you back there. Let me try to explain everything to you: right now the United States is preparing to retaliate against the Middle East for what happened tonight. The next few hours we will be involved in a full scale attack that will affect every country on the planet
- Kate Warner: What does it have to do with me?
- Jack Bauer: Ten minutes ago a man called me. He told me he had proof that the evidence the President was using based his decisions was forged. He couldn't give any other information unless I brought you to him
- Kate Warner: Who is this man?
- Jack Bauer: I don't know. That's the problem
- Kate Warner: What does he want with me?
- Jack Bauer: That's what we've got to find out. If I can provide the President concrete proof the Cyprus recording was faked, we can stop a war. I'll do everything I can do to protect you but you have to make a decision now. You have to decide whether you want to accept the risk
- Kate Warner: Do you really think we can do this?
- Jack Bauer: I'm not going to lie to you but this is very, very dangerous. I'm sorry, I don't know what else to do. I'm running out of time
- Carrie Turner: You said Jack took Kate Warner with him?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah
- Carrie Turner: I don't think he was working alone
- Tony Almeida: What'd you mean?
- Carrie Turner: Baker was keeping an eye on Kate: Michelle distracted him just a few minutes before I found you
- Tony Almeida: Distracted him how?
- Carrie Turner: She called him away for some paperwork
- Tony Almeida: What? So? Jack could've been using that as a window. It doesn't mean they were working together
- Carrie Turner: I think it does. Michelle was talking to Jack right before she went to Baker
- Tony Almeida: Maybe he was setting her up?
- Carrie Turner: It didn't appear that way
- Mike Novick: The Vice President is going to want you to authorize him to inform the Ambassador of our deployment
- President David Palmer: He told you that?
- Mike Novick: He didn't have to: you know where Jim stands on this. His going to want let everyone know we're going to war over this, especially the British
- Lynne Kresge: What's your position Sir?
- President David Palmer: Once we bring our allies in on this, it'll make it much harder to recall those planes
- President David Palmer: [Over the phone] Hello Jim, what's the British reaction to the California bombing?
- Vice President Jim Prescott: Everyone over there is stunned: they placed their military on high alert
- President David Palmer: The British Ambassador?
- Vice President Jim Prescott: He's waiting to hear from us. I take it after this conversation, I'm free to inform him about the stealth bombers?
- President David Palmer: Not just yet Jim. It's still premature
- Vice President Jim Prescott: Mr. President, those planes are due to drop their payloads in a little over four hours
- President David Palmer: We're holding off notifying our allies because there may be a possibility that we may not go through with the attack
- Vice President Jim Prescott: I don't understand
- President David Palmer: I have reason to believe the Cyprus audio that implicated the targeted countries was fabricated
- Vice President Jim Prescott: I thought we analyzed it, proved it was real
- President David Palmer: As did I. but CTU Los Angeles is in the process of obtaining evidence that may show otherwise
- Vice President Jim Prescott: In the process"? Meaning they don't have any proof yet?
- President David Palmer: Correct
- Vice President Jim Prescott: Did you run this thing by CIA? Prove it's a fraud?
- President David Palmer: Not as of yet
- Vice President Jim Prescott: Mr. President, you authorized this military action and justifiably so. With all due respect, it's too late for second thoughts
- President David Palmer: We will not start a war on false or incomplete information. Say nothing to the Ambassador
- Vice President Jim Prescott: [Before hanging up] yes Mr. President
- Kate Warner: Why won't they help you? Back at CTU?
- Jack Bauer: Tony Almeida's just put in charge there: his under a lot of pressure. He doesn't think the tape is a forgery so his following proper protocol. His doing what he thinks is right
- Kate Warner: [Referring to Jonathan Wallace] where are we supposed to meet this man?
- Jack Bauer: A small warehouse in Studio City
- Kate Warner: What is it?
- Jack Bauer: We're being followed
- Kate Warner: Who do you think it is?
- Jack Bauer: I don't know
- Jack Bauer: [while pointing a gun at him] you alone?
- Yusuf Auda: Yeah
- Jack Bauer: Why did you follow me from CTU?
- Yusuf Auda: Since I arrived no one's given me any information: I told you at CTU, my country's been implicated. I don't know who I can trust. But I saw you take out Tony Almeida who's in charge there which means you you're not on board with what they're doing and you don't want your country to invade mine
- Jack Bauer: My agenda is not to help your country. My responsibility is to make sure the President of the United States makes his decisions based on fact
- Yusuf Auda: My country's not responsible for this bomb
- Jack Bauer: Maybe but Syed Ali is a citizen of your country and he runs his terrorist network from there
- Yusuf Auda: Yes which means his a criminal to my government just as much as he is to yours. Why would my country provoke an attack that would eventually decimate us? We have everything to lose. Nothing to gain
- Jack Bauer: [after holstering his weapon] what do you want?
- Yusuf Auda: When you broke out, you isolated yourself. Whatever you're doing, you're going to need help
- Michelle Dessler: What'd your doctor say?
- Tony Almeida: I don't know: they think I tore a ligament or something. Look, Carrie said she saw you talking to Jack before he took Kate Warner out of CTU
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah, is that a problem?
- Tony Almeida: Well, depends what you were talking about. What were you talking about?
- Michelle Dessler: Are you interrogating me?
- Tony Almeida: Did you help Jack take Kate Warner out of here?
- Michelle Dessler: Of course not. Is that what Carrie told you? That I'm in collusion with Jack?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah
- Michelle Dessler: Well, I don't know what to tell you. She doesn't know what she's talking about
- Tony Almeida: Look, it doesn't matter whether you think Jack is right or wrong. The fact is this is my command and what happens here is my responsibility
- Michelle Dessler: I know that
- Tony Almeida: So I need you to be honest with me now. Did you intentionally draw Agent Baker away from Kate Warner?
- Michelle Dessler: No. I did not
- Tony Almeida: So why would Carrie tell me you did?
- Michelle Dessler: Because she'd like to see me out of here
- Tony Almeida: Why's that?
- Michelle Dessler: Because I don't like her. She knows it
- Tony Almeida: Do you want to tell me about it?
- Michelle Dessler: No, not really
- Tony Almeida: If you have a problem that's interfering with your work...
- Michelle Dessler: [Interrupts him] it's not interfering with my work. It's not
- Tony Almeida: Ok. Thanks
- Jack Bauer: [Meeting in a warehouse, after searching him] take a seat. Who are you?
- Jonathan Wallace: Jonathan Wallace, Captain, seventh flight reconnaissance. Third Division, special attachment, Delta. Fort Benning
- Jack Bauer: [while pointing a gun at him] slowly raise your right arm, show the inside of your right forearm to me
- Jack Bauer: [after seeing the tattoo] Coral Snake
- Jonathan Wallace: That's right
- Jack Bauer: So you're the seventh man. You took out your entire unit who was tracking the bomb so they couldn't stop it, why?
- Jonathan Wallace: Responsible for two things: making sure the bomb went off. Planting the Cypress recording to place the blame on those three countries
- Jack Bauer: To what end?
- Jonathan Wallace: What else? To start a war. The end game is always to get the United States to attack the Middle East
- Jack Bauer: Why?
- Jonathan Wallace: They didn't tell me. They didn't have to. These men control the oil in the Caspian Sea. If there's a war in the Middle East, their holdings quadruple in value for at least a decade
- Jack Bauer: At the cost of detonating a nuclear device in the center of Los Angeles? What do you want with Kate Warner?
- Jonathan Wallace: An hour ago the people who hired me tried to have me killed. Obviously they didn't succeed. They took out my transport team. I need an alternate way out of the country. Warner Industries has DOD variance. She can authorize a departure
- Jack Bauer: So evidence against the Cypress recording in exchange for your departure? That's the deal?
- Jonathan Wallace: Yep
- Jonathan Wallace: So, where's the Warner girl?
- Jack Bauer: When we're done, tell me more about the evidence. How does it prove the Cypress recording was forged?
- Jonathan Wallace: I have the source recordings: before they were mixed down to create the fake tape
- Jack Bauer: [Over the phone] yeah?
- Yusuf Auda: There was another guy. I took care of him. Is he there?
- Jack Bauer: [Handing him the phone, before sitting down in front of him] it's for you
- Jonathan Wallace: Hello?
- Yusuf Auda: The man you sent to pick up Kate Warner is unconscious. He'll be out for a while
- Jonathan Wallace: You're lying
- Yusuf Auda: His six two, dark hair, and a pretty nasty scar on his face
- Jonathan Wallace: [after hanging up and sliding the phone across the table to Jack] OK. It doesn't change anything. I still got what you need and I'm not going to give it to you until you give me Kate Warner
- Jack Bauer: Fine. I'll take you to her and we'll arrange your charter
- Yusuf Auda: [shakes his head] no. She can't authorize an unscheduled charter unless one of the partners is on board and right now your people have Bob Warner in custody. So she's coming with me
- Jack Bauer: What are you planning to do with her when you reach your final destination?
- Jonathan Wallace: I'll have to dispose her, you know that
- Jack Bauer: [Shakes his head] can't let that happen
- Jonathan Wallace: [while packing up his belongings and leaving] we're done here
- Jack Bauer: Wait
- Jack Bauer: [Over the radio] Yusuf, do you copy?
- Yusuf Auda: Yeah we're. What do you want me to do?
- Jack Bauer: Bring her in
- Mike Novick: [Talking privately] I want you to get a hold of Jack Bauer
- Lynne Kresge: Last I heard he was debriefing at CTU, why?
- Mike Novick: The President's hesitating on this operation based solely on a conversation he had with Bauer. I want to talk to him myself
- Lynne Kresge: Behind the President's back? That is so dangerous
- Mike Novick: If I can get some concrete information, I can support the President more effectively
- Lynne Kresge: And if you can't?
- Mike Novick: Then I'll have the conviction to talk him through the situation. Right now I'm in the "dark."
- Lynne Kresge: I'm not sure...
- Mike Novick: [Interrupts her] this is my call. Your recommendation not to go around the President is duly noted
- Mike Novick: [Over the phone] I need to reach Jack Bauer
- Tony Almeida: We're trying to locate him ourselves: sorry
- Mike Novick: What'd you mean? What's the problem?
- Tony Almeida: Jack was here earlier debriefing today's events when he grabbed a material witness and took her off the premises illegally. He also assaulted CTU personnel
- Mike Novick: Why on earth would he do something like that?
- Tony Almeida: Jack's working on a hunch that the Cypress recording was fabricated sir
- Mike Novick: This is what I wanted to talk to him about. The President is not giving his complete support to the military action until he hears from Bauer
- Tony Almeida: I understand sir
- Mike Novick: What about the witness his taken? How does it factor in?
- Tony Almeida: Her name's Kate Warner. Her sister Marie was connected to the Second Wave terrorists. We're trying to connect the dots but it's the other reason we need to find Jack sir
- Tony Almeida: The second you make contact with Bauer, you put him through to me. We're at District
- Mike Novick: Yes sir
- Carrie Turner: [In his office] yes Tony?
- Tony Almeida: Where are we regarding Jack?
- Carrie Turner: His exit wasn't picked up on satellite and he hasn't initiated contact with anyone
- Tony Almeida: What about Kate Warner?
- Carrie Turner: Her house, her father's company are being watched in case they go there
- Tony Almeida: Good
- Carrie Turner: Have you talked to Michelle?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah: in fact I wanted to talk to you about that. Do you have a problem working in the same office as Michelle?
- Carrie Turner: Is that what you think? That I would be making up stories about her because I have a problem working with her? She and Jack were talking before he took Kate Warner. They weren't trading recipes, it was conspiratorial
- Tony Almeida: Alright. I need you to put in a filter all of Michelle's communications. Emails, phone calls, and open channels. Let me know when Jack tries to contact her
- Carrie Turner: Done
- Jack Bauer: [Referring to Kate and Yusuf coming to the warehouse] their going to be here in five minutes
- Jonathan Wallace: And here we are without a deck of cards. You know when I was down at Fort Benning when Samuels tried to recruit you? Yeah, he was real disappointed when you turned him down. He said you were a born killer. Is that true?
- Mike Novick: Jack Bauer took a material witness from CTU and assaulted an agent in the process: I know how much this country owes him Sir, but his obviously suffered some kind of "emotional collapse." It would be understandable given everything he's been through
- President David Palmer: Well, we don't know that. What he did might have been necessary under the circumstances
- Mike Novick: We already have incontrovertible proof that the Cypress recording is authentic. Finding Jack Bauer isn't going to change that. The country needs your energy and attention on what happens after those bombs are dropped. We need to prepare for this war
- President David Palmer: If this recording is not authentic, then Jack Bauer turns out to be right, we'll have made a mistake of historic proportions
- Mike Novick: Mr. President...
- President David Palmer: [Interrupts him] that's all Mike. Find Jack Bauer
- Jack Bauer: [Referring to Kate Warner] she'll be here any minute, where's the evidence?
- Jonathan Wallace: OK here's how it's going to go down: I take Kate with me, she sets us up the plane, picks us up to an airport of my choosing, when I'm on the plane, I'll call you and tell you where the evidence is
- Jack Bauer: What assurances that you'll even call?
- Jonathan Wallace: None. It's one of those things you're going to have to trust me
- Jack Bauer: Well, I don't
- Jonathan Wallace: [Smiles] you're the last person in the world I want tracking me down
- Kate Warner: [to Jack after entering the room] what's going on?
- Jonathan Wallace: You and I are going on a little trip
- Jack Bauer: [to Kate, referring to Jonathan] You have to go with him
- Kate Warner: What about you?
- Jonathan Wallace: Jack's not coming
- Kate Warner: [to Jack] you gave me your word
- Jack Bauer: [to Kate] I'm sorry: it has to be done like this
- Kate Warner: [to Jonathan after he grabs her arm] let go of me
- Jonathan Wallace: [to Jack] talk to her, otherwise I'm going to have to do this differently
- Jack Bauer: [to Kate] remember what I said to you in the car? Do what he says and I promise you will not get hurt
- Kate Warner: You're giving me up aren't you?
- Danny Dessler: [Over the phone while Carrie listens] hey, it's me
- Michelle Dessler: What're you doing up?
- Danny Dessler: Are you sure it's safe here?
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah: as far as I know it is
- Danny Dessler: As far as you know? What the hell does that mean? "As far as I know"
- Michelle Dessler: Look, you know my "situation"
- Danny Dessler: Yeah well, you know what? Your "situation" sucks. You know you're talking about my life here. At least you can is tell me what the hell is goin on, you know
- Michelle Dessler: There's nothing to know. Stay where you are, get some sleep, and I'll come over tomorrow
- Danny Dessler: Listen, I swear to God, don't you patronize me because I want some answers because a nuclear bomb just went off. I want to know if it's safe to stay here in LA. What about the kids? Don't you care about the kids?
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah. Of course I do. If there's anything to know I would tell you
- Danny Dessler: Is that right? You didn't tell me about the bomb, what happened there? Did that slip your mind?
- Michelle Dessler: I already explained it to you. I wasn't allowed to tell anyone
- Danny Dessler: You know what? Maybe I should call Carrie, she'd tell me
- Michelle Dessler: I thought you two weren't speaking?
- Danny Dessler: We're not. She's a bitch
- Michelle Dessler: I will take care...
- Danny Dessler: [Immediately hangs up] forget it
- Mike Novick: You ready?
- Lynne Kresge: Yes we are
- Mike Novick: [Through video conference] Mr. Vice President, you're on with me and Lynn because the President is being briefed by Ryan Chappelle: he asked we go without him
- Vice President Jim Prescott: Fine
- Mike Novick: How did it go with the British Ambassador?
- Vice President Jim Prescott: Not well. He knows we're planning a retaliation against the Middle East and his frustrated we're not coordinating with them
- Mike Novick: I'm sure he'll understand once he gets all the facts
- Vice President Jim Prescott: What are the facts? We've got planes in the air. Either we're committed or we're not
- Mike Novick: If the evidence shows the Cypress recording was falsified, the President wants the option of calling those planes back
- Vice President Jim Prescott: You know what it sounds like to me? An excuse to call this off. Do you believe the President is capable of doing the "hard thing"? The right thing?
- Mike Novick: Yes Sir, I do. His committed to this action. All his doing is making sure every base is covered
- Vice President Jim Prescott: I hope so
- Mike Novick: The President will be contacting you as soon as anything develops
- Vice President Jim Prescott: [Before hanging up] alright
- Lynne Kresge: You think the Vice President is right, don't you?
- Mike Novick: If the President turns those planes around, his done the unconfirmed speculation of a single CTU agent. It'll be a disaster
- Lynne Kresge: So, what we do about it?
- Mike Novick: I don't know
