- Ryan Chappelle: [after entering the holding room Michelle and Tony are in] sit down: both of you
- Tony Almeida: Look, you don't need Michelle here, she was acting under my orders
- Michelle Dessler: [to Tony] I can defend myself
- Ryan Chappelle: I said sit down. I need you to get me in contact with Jack Bauer
- Tony Almeida: Oh, I see, Jack got some support from above and now you're being squeezed right?
- Ryan Chappelle: Can you do it or not?
- Tony Almeida: What's going on?
- Ryan Chappelle: Bauer's evidence may have some relevance
- Michelle Dessler: Which means we were right?
- Ryan Chappelle: No. You damn near put me in a coma! That's assault
- Tony Almeida: I'll tell you what, you drop the charges against us and we'll help you. You of all people know that's your best move right?
- Ryan Chappelle: Fine
- Tony Almeida: In writing
- Ryan Chappelle: Alright, in writing
- Ryan Chappelle: Just get me in touch with Bauer
- Ryan Chappelle: [Just hung up the phone] That was District Director Vaugn, he was so happy on what we did here today, he didn't know where to start.
- Tony Almeida: That's great.
- Ryan Chappelle: So, What up my friend?
- Tony Almeida: Well, it's like this:, either fire me, or get out of my chair.
- Ryan Chappelle: [Getting up] The chair's all yours.
- Michelle Dessler: The new shift is here, they've been brought up to speed. I was thinking I would get my brother and go home.
- Tony Almeida: There's a handful of people that made a big diference here today, and you're one of them, you made some tough choices and went against me and I wanted to let you know, you were right.
- Michelle Dessler: Thanks.
- Tony Almeida: [as she turns around to leave] So, go home and get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow.
- Michelle Dessler: [Smilies and nods]
- Mike Novick: What is it?
- Brian Jacobs: It's a file on Peter Kingsley. I pulled it up just a few minutes ago
- Mike Novick: Peter Kingsley: the man Jack Bauer believes is behind the bomb
- Brian Jacobs: There's a list of phone calls of Kingsley made as recent as six hours ago to a soldier named Jonathan Wallace. Wallace was a member of the Coral Snake brigade. Apparently, he killed his own men
- Mike Novick: I know who Wallace is
- General Stone: The planes have passed over their final checkpoint and will be reaching their targets within the hour. Our primary targets are military but one includes is a command and control center inside a residential area. As smart as our weapons have become, there may be some "collateral damage."
- Vice President Jim Prescott: You mean civilian casualties?
- General Stone: Yes sir
- Vice President Jim Prescott: No way to avoid these?
- General Stone: I'm afraid not
- Vice President Jim Prescott: That's something we're going to have to live with
- Ryan Chappelle: [Over the phone] how can I help you?
- Mike Novick: I know there's been some "confusion" over the veracity over Cypress audio
- Ryan Chappelle: Not really: our team came to the same conclusion as Langley
- Mike Novick: Do you happen to know if Jack Bauer is still trying to find evidence that the audio was fabricated?
- Ryan Chappelle: Yes, I believe he is but his operating outside our authority
- Mike Novick: I want you to assist his investigation
- Ryan Chappelle: Sir, I don't even know where he is
- Mike Novick: Then find him
- Ryan Chappelle: I'm not even sure why you're asking me to do this but we're already at war and were told to proceed accordingly
- Mike Novick: We're not at war yet you have thirty minutes to report back to me on your findings of Bauer and your efforts
- Ryan Chappelle: But sir...
- Mike Novick: [Interrupts him] that's a direct order. You have my channel, I want you to call me back on this line. That's all
- Kim Bauer: Where's my dad?
- Carrie Turner: Still in the field: why don't you wait here for a moment? I'll go tell Ryan Chappelle your here
- Tony Almeida: [Walking up to them] I'll handle this Carrie
- Carrie Turner: I thought you were in custody?
- Tony Almeida: I was released
- Tony Almeida: [to Kim] I heard what happened, are you alright?
- Kim Bauer: Yeah, I guess so. Look, I just want to see my dad and make sure his ok
- Tony Almeida: His not here right now. He won't be back for a couple of hours
- Kim Bauer: Does he know I'm here?
- Tony Almeida: No, not yet but we'll tell him as soon as he phones in
- Kate Warner: [to Tony] listen, Jack said to call him as soon as we got here
- Tony Almeida: I understand his just not reachable. I'll have Carrie get you situated and I'll be with you in a minute
- Peter Kingsley: [Over the phone] I'll be on the plane within the hour
- Max: Why the delay?
- Peter Kingsley: The bomb detonating in the wrong location creating a little extra work for me
- Max: Nothing to worry about I hope
- Peter Kingsley: No, not at all sir. I won't bore you with the details
- Max: Tell me
- Peter Kingsley: I still have to take care of Alex Hewitt
- Max: Hewitt is the only one who can bring this whole thing down, you told me you'd have him by now
- Peter Kingsley: I wasn't able to find him but I'm taking care of it: don't worry
- Tony Almeida: Look, I don't know if you're aware of this but your father came back here after we released him
- Kate Warner: Why?
- Tony Almeida: He wanted to talk to your sister before she was taken away
- Kate Warner: They brought Marie back here?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah
- President David Palmer: [During a press conference] I urge you in the strongest possible terms: not to indulge any rumors or theories you've already heard or you may soon hear. Once the facts are known I will present them to you myself, until then, know that we are all safe and that we will continue to be. The most patriotic thing we can do today is to keep living our lives, so I urge you all go back to work, go back to school because the freedom we enjoy, the freedom we earn everyday is the very thing that will defeat our enemies and keep us strong. God bless America, God bless us all
- Vice President Jim Prescott: [to David through video conference] the Cabinet has annulled its earlier action. I've instructed Secret Service to resume its charge of serving you: as President of the United States
- President David Palmer: [With Mike and Jenny sitting nearby] I see
- Vice President Jim Prescott: And also I've tendered my resignation effective immediately and those members who voted against you have also agreed to resign
- President David Palmer: Jim, gentlemen, and ladies. We came dangerously close to war today, that all of us reacted emotionally to the nuclear detonation is understandable but leaders are required to have patience beyond human limits. The kind of action we nearly took should only be exercised after all other avenues have been exhausted, after the strictest standard of proof has been met. By casting me aside so quickly, you have lowered those standards and that was a profound mistake. It was not however a mistake you're likely to make again. Therefore I do not accept your resignation, we have a nation to heal today and all of you play a vital role in that healing process
- Vice President Jim Prescott: Mr. President, I don't know what to say
- President David Palmer: There's nothing to say. We have work to do, that'll be all
- President David Palmer: [to Jenny] I want you to set up a press conference
- Jenny Dodge: When?
- President David Palmer: As soon as you can make it happen but I want it public. I want to speak to the people directly, they deserve my assurance
- Jenny Dodge: Yes Sir
- President David Palmer: [to Mike] I want to thank you for calling CTU in the eleventh hour
- Mike Novick: Of course Mr. President
- President David Palmer: But you should've been there with me to the end. That's what I expected of you, that's why I appointed you. I'm relieving you of your post, effective immediately
- Mike Novick: Yes Mr. President
- Max: [Over the phone] what'd you mean Kingsley's dead? How could that happen?
- Alexander Trepkos: I warned you not to use him
- Max: So, we did use him and he failed but it won't matter once the war starts, we'll be ok
- Alexander Trepkos: It isn't going to start
- Max: Why's that?
- Alexander Trepkos: The President found out about the Cypress recording and called off the attack: there isn't going to be any war
- Max: Well, we're going to have to use another way
- Alexander Trepkos: Another way? What're you talking about?
- Max: [Before hanging up] you'll find out. It is done for today
- Jack Bauer: [Over the phone] you back in play?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah, Kim's here at CTU, she's safe
- Jack Bauer: [Relived] thank God
- Jack Bauer: Look, don't tell her what's going on. Just tell her I'll be back as soon as I can
- Tony Almeida: I will
- Ryan Chappelle: Listen, Jack this is Ryan: we need to talk
- Jack Bauer: Ryan, you son of a bitch. You stopped that chopper from picking me and Hewitt up, his dead and I'm holding you personally responsible
- Ryan Chappelle: Things have changed, you have full support. Give me your mission profile
- Jack Bauer: I've set a meeting with Kingsley, we're going to meet him at Los Angeles coliseum gate eighteen. Mrs. Palmer is going to wear a wire and get him to confirm that the three Middle Eastern countries had nothing to do with the nuke
- Ryan Chappelle: I want you to stand down until you get some support. Our people will be there soon
- Jack Bauer: No, we don't have time. Kingsley is expecting the meet to go down now
- Ryan Chappelle: You need back up
- Jack Bauer: If you want to help me, get me voice prints of Peter Kingsley and Sherry Palmer now and use that for authentication
- Ryan Chappelle: Done
- Jack Bauer: I also need a live audio feed of the White House
- Ryan Chappelle: You want an audience with the President?
- Jack Bauer: Yes
- Ryan Chappelle: Alright you'll have it, make sure you keep the line clear
- Jack Bauer: Copy, we're pulling into the coliseum now
- Ryan Chappelle: [to Tony] we need to get a SWAT team to his location
- Mike Novick: [Over the phone] I am against any delay in our military actions. I have been since the start but there is a good chance we will receive conclusive evidence in the next half hour that the Cypress recording is false
- Vice President Jim Prescott: We know Second Wave brought the nuke into the country. We know Second Wave is sponsored by these three countries: what am I missing here?
- Mike Novick: I don't have all the details but I just learned a possible link between Second Wave and man named Peter Kingsley
- Vice President Jim Prescott: Who the hell is he?
- Mike Novick: Apparently his part of a consortium of oil interests with contracts in the Caspian Sea
- Vice President Jim Prescott: So what're you saying? An oil consortium is behind the nuke?
- Mike Novick: Jack Bauer believes he can get a confession with Kingsley, his set up a live audio feed
- Vice President Jim Prescott: [after looking at his watch] our bombers are due to drop their payloads in less than twenty minutes
- Mike Novick: Bauer's meeting Kingsley any minute
- Peter Kingsley: [Meeting in the coliseum while The President and the Joint Chiefs and CTU monitor through a live feed] where's Hewitt?
- Sherry Palmer: His safe. You lied to me: you wanted this bomb to go off all along. You used Roger Stanton and you used me
- Peter Kingsley: Yes I did
- Sherry Palmer: Well now I'm tied to you, and the nuclear detonation. I want safe haven
- Peter Kingsley: That's your problem
- Sherry Palmer: Well I just made it yours because you won't see Hewitt until I'm safe
- Peter Kingsley: [Amused] don't horse trade me
- Sherry Palmer: Don't insult my intelligence
- Michelle Dessler: Confirmed. We got a match on Kingsley's voice
- Jack Bauer: Ryan, you got it?
- Peter Kingsley: You're not going anywhere until I have Hewitt
- Sherry Palmer: [handing him a cell phone] that doesn't work for me. I'll call you on this line to give you Hewitt's location, after I'm safely away. You don't need to know where I'm going
- Tony Almeida: Jack, we're not getting what we need here
- Jack Bauer: She'll get it for you
- Sherry Palmer: Now there's the matter of the phone conversations
- Peter Kingsley: [Before a bodyguard hands her the hard drive] they're right here. Every phone conversation between you and me
- Sherry Palmer: No, I want all of them. Including Cypress
- Peter Kingsley: Why would you want Cypress? You had nothing to do with it
- Sherry Palmer: Insurance
- Peter Kingsley: Insurance? Once the country goes to war, the government is never going let that be exposed. Hewitt was the only one who can hurt us
- Sherry Palmer: Because he forged the Cypress recording?
- Peter Kingsley: That's right
- Vice President Jim Prescott: [Over the phone] we just finished setting up the feed. I hope this isn't going to be a waste of our time
- Mike Novick: Believe me: so do I
- President David Palmer: [after walking into the room] what's going on?
- Mike Novick: The President and I thought that you should be a part of this along with Prescott and the Attorney General, we'll be listening to a live feed
- President David Palmer: Of what?
- President David Palmer: A sting operation of Peter Kingsley. It appears he was the architect of today's bombing and the delivery of the Cypress audio
- President David Palmer: Bauer found Kingsley?
- Mike Novick: Yes but it won't be Bauer who talks with Kingsley
- President David Palmer: Well, what difference does it make? As long as we get him to incriminate himself
- President David Palmer: [after noticing he becomes silent] what is it?
- Mike Novick: It's Sherry who will be talking with Kingsley
- President David Palmer: I don't understand
- Mike Novick: It seems Kingsley "recruited" her some months ago. She was a part of this
- President David Palmer: Sherry? Working with this man Kingsley?
- Mike Novick: It appears that way Sir
- President David Palmer: To detonate a nuclear bomb and start a war? No!
- Mike Novick: Its unclear how much she knew or how deep she was in it. We just have to hope if she can extract a confession from Kingsley
- President David Palmer: Now Sherry is working with Jack Bauer to bring down Kingsley?
- Mike Novick: Yes and at considerable risk to herself
- Sherry Palmer: [Preparing to meet with Peter Kingsley] what's to prevent Kingsley from shooting me from the moment I appear?
- Jack Bauer: Kingsley won't do anything until he gets Hewitt
- Sherry Palmer: But the moment he realizes we don't have Hewitt?
- Jack Bauer: I'm going to have your back
- Sherry Palmer: That's not very comforting considering the condition you're in. I may not make it out of this
- Jack Bauer: I'm not going to lie to you: that may be a possibility
- Sherry Palmer: I'm doing this for David, you know that don't you?
- Jack Bauer: Yes
- Sherry Palmer: Will you tell him that? In case something happens to me
- Sherry Palmer: I'll take care of it. You've got to go now
- Jack Bauer: [communicating with CTU through COMM, referring to gathering evidence to apprehend Kingsley while he meets with Sherry, as Prescott and Chappelle monitors] Ok Tony, you've got your proof, let me go ahead: give me the greenlight
- Ryan Chappelle: [to CTU staff] Get it confirmed from the White House
- Tony Almeida: Just a second
- Jack Bauer: She can't stay out there much longer
- Tony Almeida: [to Maggie] This is Almeida, are you satisfied?
- Maggie: [to Prescott, sitting next to him] CTU wants to know if that's enough to prove the Cypress recording was false?
- Vice President Jim Prescott: [to General Stone, sitting across from him] Have you confirmed this is indeed live and these voices have been authenticated?
- General Stone: Yes sir
