Quotes 

• President John Keeler : [Briefing government officials in person and CTU through video conference]  as you are aware, Secretary of Heller and his daughter have been kidnapped by a terrorist cell: the terrorists have announced that they'll put Jim on trial for war crimes, and then execute him. All of it broadcasted to the world. Make no mistake, this country is under attack, foreign terrorists are operating on our soil, and intelligence indicates the kidnapping maybe some kind of "trigger," the first step in a series of larger attacks. Mark, what kind of protective actions are being taken?

  Mark Kanar : We've changed all the codes and protocols the Secretary has knowledge of. Also the other Cabinet members have been sequestered

  President John Keeler : Alright, Melissa, where are we with trying to keep these people from broadcasting this?

  Melissa : The media outlets will all cooperate and not air it but the terrorists have announced they will use the internet: we cannot control that. Their using technology that makes their feed untraceable and we can't shut down the internet without disabling the command and control function of the government and the economy

  Mark Kanar : Mr. President, the only way to stop this is at the "source", we have to find the terrorists and rescue Secretary Heller

  President John Keeler : Erin, where is CTU on this?

  Erin Driscoll : We have search teams out in force and we are working a few active leads Sir

  President John Keeler : Anything promising?

  Erin Driscoll : We'll know very shortly Mr. President

  President John Keeler : Keep us closely posted. Ladies and gentlemen, nothing takes over priority of finding the people who have Jim Heller and stopping them, thank you

• Erin Driscoll : [Over the phone]  where are you? Why haven't you and Ronnie been in contact?

  Jack Bauer : Ronnie's been killed

  Erin Driscoll : What're you talking about?

  Jack Bauer : He was shot by the hostile who kidnapped Andrew Paige

  Erin Driscoll : Where are you now?

  Jack Bauer : I'm in transit, I'm tracking them, but he doesn't know it

  Erin Driscoll : Give me your location and I'll send backup to apprehend them

  Jack Bauer : I don't believe that's the right call. I believe if I follow them, they'll lead me to Secretary Heller and the men who kidnapped him

  Erin Driscoll : Listen to me, the terrorists have just announced their going to try and execute Heller in less than three hours: bring the man in now

  Jack Bauer : Right now this is our best chance of finding him by then

  Erin Driscoll : We had a deal

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  you're breaking up: have SWAT and rescue teams standing by. I'll call you as soon as the hostile reaches his destination

• President John Keeler : [Over the phone]  I understand you lost one of your field operatives?

  Erin Driscoll : Yes we did

  President John Keeler : Did the engagement yield any prisoners or witnesses?

  Erin Driscoll : Not yet but there's some "hope"

  President John Keeler : Tell me

  Erin Driscoll : Jack Bauer who as you know used to work here is currently in the field trailing a suspect

  President John Keeler : Trailing him? Why doesn't he bring him in?

  Erin Driscoll : We're in the process of doing that Sir

  President John Keeler : Are we going to be able to save Jim and his daughter before this "trial" starts?

  Erin Driscoll : I certainly hope so Sir. Mr. President, I have to ask you something now as we may not have time later

  President John Keeler : What is it?

  Erin Driscoll : We may find ourselves in a "situation", where we have Heller's location but can't extract him safely. If that's the case, would you authorize in advance an all out assault?

  President John Keeler : Your assumption being the Secretary would not survive?

  Erin Driscoll : Correct

  President John Keeler : We'll cross that "bridge" if the scenario presents itself

• Curtis Manning : [after walking into her office]  what'd you need?

  Erin Driscoll : I just got off the phone with Marianne Taylor

  Curtis Manning : Whatever she told you, it's coming from a very "disturbed" place

  Erin Driscoll : That may be but she's as qualified as any of the others you've brought in today

  Curtis Manning : I'm not comfortable working with her: that should be enough for you

  Erin Driscoll : Normally it would be however she mentioned your pillow talk included a synopsis of the new data mining protocols

  Curtis Manning : That's a lie, if she got that information, it was from someone else. Now she's using it against me

  Erin Driscoll : She knows details about the new UVX system, that's classified information. She can force us into a Section One security reboot and drag us in a six month long investigation

  Curtis Manning : I don't believe this

  Erin Driscoll : I asked her to come in: deal with it. Do you have the results of Secretary Heller's son yet?

  Curtis Manning : Yeah, polygraph makes it clear he didn't have any "knowing" involvement in his father's kidnapping

  Erin Driscoll : But?

  Curtis Manning : His still insisting he didn't tell anyone his father was coming to his house this morning. The polygraph was inconclusive on that claim

  Erin Driscoll : You think his lying?

  Curtis Manning : It's possible. Richard is the only one who knew where his father would be this morning, he may have told someone about it

  Erin Driscoll : Why would Richard protect someone who's betrayed him?

  Curtis Manning : Because his too arrogant to believe that's what happened

  Erin Driscoll : It'll take days to go through his phone records, I want you to see if you can get a name out of him "another way"

  Curtis Manning : What'd you mean?

  Erin Driscoll : [Referring to torturing him]  you know what I mean

  Curtis Manning : We're not even sure if his guilty of anything

  Erin Driscoll : This is how we'll find out. Get started

• Marianne Taylor : [after greeting Erin]  I'm very excited to have this opportunity to help you here

  Marianne Taylor : Hello Curtis

  Curtis Manning : Marianne,

  Erin Driscoll : Curtis, take Marianne to an empty station and get her started on the data sorts

  Curtis Manning : Let's go

  Curtis Manning : [Showing her where her station is]  you'll be working over here

  Marianne Taylor : You know Curtis, I didn't want to go over your head but you left me no choice

  Curtis Manning : Is that so?

  Erin Driscoll : I'll let it go if you will

  Curtis Manning : [Sternly]  get to work Marianne
