Quotes
-
Tony Almeida : I just saw a message that the President called off the military offensive over an hour ago
Ryan Chappelle : Who told you this?
Tony Almeida : Someone at DOJ: someone I trust
Ryan Chappelle : I wouldn't worry about it
Tony Almeida : Is it true?
Ryan Chappelle : Yes
Tony Almeida : And you knew about it?
Ryan Chappelle : I did
Tony Almeida : And you didn't tell me. Why are you so determined to keep my people processing when the operation has been scrapped?
Ryan Chappelle : Because there's a strong possibility the White House will reinstate the order
Tony Almeida : It doesn't make sense. Why would the President reverse his orders twice?
-
Tony Almeida : [Over the phone with Michelle listening in] what're you doing at Kate Warner's house? You were suppose to bring that chip here over an hour ago
Jack Bauer : We ran into some interference, Yusuf Auda is dead
Tony Almeida : What happened?
Jack Bauer : I don't have time to explain but his the only reason we still have the chip. Look I'm trying to read it now. I've put in a flash card adapter but something's not working
Michelle Dessler : Just give me a minute. You may have to override the function manually, I'll talk you through it
Jack Bauer : OK good
Jack Bauer : [to Tony] while Michelle is getting set up I need you to do a couple things for me. I want you to do a background check on a name: Peter Kingsley, it's probably an alias but we might get lucky. I want you to cross reference it with every major player in the oil industry
Tony Almeida : Peter Kingsley? Why?
Jack Bauer : I'll explain it to you later. I need you to get in touch with the President, tell him we've got the evidence he needs
Tony Almeida : I already told him. I just found out his called off the military strikes
Jack Bauer : Good, then we've got some time
Tony Almeida : Not necessarily, Chapplle just told me he expects the order to be reversed
Jack Bauer : Why?
Tony Almeida : He didn't get specific but something's going on in Washington, something we're not suppose to know about
Jack Bauer : [to Michelle] are you ready for me?
Michelle Dessler : Yeah
-
Kim Bauer : [Over the phone] I haven't been able to reach my dad: is he available?
Tony Almeida : We're in the middle of something really important can I have him get back to you?
Kim Bauer : Please, it'll just take a minute
Tony Almeida : OK, just hold on
Jack Bauer : Are you getting it?
Michelle Dessler : Yeah I got it but you were right. The data is pretty scrambled
Tony Almeida : Jack, I just assigned two IT people to help Michelle with this. We should be able to get through in fifteen to twenty minutes tops
Jack Bauer : OK good
Tony Almeida : Also, I got Kim on the line for you
Jack Bauer : Thank you
Tony Almeida : Kim, I got your dad on the line go ahead
Kim Bauer : Dad?
Jack Bauer : Sweetheart
Kim Bauer : Tony told me your alive, I've been trying to reach you
Jack Bauer : Are you still at the Sheriff's station?
Kim Bauer : They're taking me to the Matheson house to pack up my things. I'm glad you're ok
Jack Bauer : Me too
Kim Bauer : When I thought you were gone, I just miss you dad. I miss you so much
Jack Bauer : I miss you too honey
Kim Bauer : I just want to come home
Jack Bauer : I'll be home soon, I promise
Kim Bauer : Ok, hey dad?
Jack Bauer : Yeah?
Kim Bauer : I love you
Jack Bauer : I love you too, I'll see you soon ok?

Ryan Chappelle : I just heard you ordered two IT's on some kind of "retrieval project"? Their working military intel
Tony Almeida : Jack Bauer has a chip: it contains an audio file and we expect will prove the Cypress recording was indeed forged
Ryan Chappelle : Where is this chip?
Tony Almeida : It's been damaged
Ryan Chappelle : Damaged?
Tony Almeida : Jack sent us the data but it's pretty messed up. The audio needs to be reconstituted which is going to take a little time
Ryan Chappelle : How long?
Tony Almeida : However long it takes
Michelle Dessler : [Walking up to them] it'll take about fifteen minutes sir
-
Ryan Chappelle : Well, what've you got?
Tony Almeida : The chip was more compromised than we thought
Ryan Chappelle : Do you have the audio file?
Tony Almeida : Michelle was able to recover some information worth following up on
Michelle Dessler : Repeating code fragments: it may tell us who programmed the information
Ryan Chappelle : Did you find the audio file? That's all I need to know
Tony Almeida : No, we didn't
Ryan Chappelle : So, Bauer wasted our time
-
Jack Bauer : [Over the phone] you got the audio file?
Tony Almeida : No
Jack Bauer : What'd you mean no? Are you telling me there's no audio file on that chip?
Michelle Dessler : If there were, they were destroyed when the chip was damaged
Tony Almeida : Jack, Chappelle is phoning the President and he wants you in on the call
Jack Bauer : I bet he does
Tony Almeida : Also, some of the information Michelle was able to recover may be worth looking into
Jack Bauer : What kind of information?
Michelle Dessler : Identical code fragments at the tail end of several data streams
Jack Bauer : What're you talking about? What kind of fragments? What are the fragments for?
Michelle Dessler : Nothing: that's the point. It's junk code. Programmers and hackers sometime embed it into their programs as a "marker", a signature
Tony Almeida : Michelle was able to trace the sequence back to a hacker named Alex Hewitt. His got a file with the FBI
Jack Bauer : Are you telling me this is the technician that created the Cypress file?
Michelle Dessler : Yes
Tony Almeida : Chappelle's not going to let us follow up on any leads so your going have to talk to this guy on your own
Jack Bauer : Fine what's his last known address?
Tony Almeida : 2-10 Laurel Canyon Boulevard North Hollywood
Jack Bauer : Ok I got it, I'll get back to you
-
Jack Bauer : [Over the phone] I'm about half a block from Hewitt's loft: has the FBI sent over his file yet?
Tony Almeida : Yeah, we just got it
Jack Bauer : What'd do I need to know?
Tony Almeida : The State Department recruited him right out of CAL TECH. he revamped their entire surveillance program, and then he got caught manipulating intel on some files he didn't have clearance for. He tried to kill himself in custody and spent a year in psychiatric prison before being released last September
Jack Bauer : No connection to Kingsley?
Tony Almeida : No. Not that we can find
Jack Bauer : Ok as soon as I get Hewitt, I'll get back to you. Any word on what's happening with the President?
Tony Almeida : No, not yet
Jack Bauer : Ok thanks
