Quotes
-
Dr. Nicole Duncan : How you doing?
Jack Bauer : I'm ok, how you've been?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : Until to this afternoon I was fine. I tried to reach you when I found out about Teri
Jack Bauer : Yeah I know. After that, I just kind of withdrew but I appreciated the calls. We should get going
Dr. Nicole Duncan : I just finished running Macer's epidemiological model, her estimates were off
Jack Bauer : Better or worse than we thought?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : Twice as bad, she had nine percent of the population within a week but its closer to twenty percent and the infection mortality rate is higher than her estimate, almost ninety-five percent lethal. I've been studying germs for twelve years and I've never seen anything like this
Jack Bauer : [Sarcastically] great
Dr. Nicole Duncan : Are you feeling ok?
Jack Bauer : Yeah, why?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : You're perspiring
Jack Bauer : It's been nonstop since noon. Look, we're going to be about eight minutes out. It'd be great if we can go over the quarantine protocols before we get there
Dr. Nicole Duncan : No problem

Jack Bauer : What the hell are you doing? You haven't showered down yet
Dr. Nicole Duncan : We're not at risk
Jack Bauer : What're you talking about? I watched the powder get out
Jack Bauer : It's harmless, some of silicate: that's all
Jack Bauer : What?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : There is no virus in the powder, we tested five samples, and there weren't even trace sample amounts. Atmospheric and surface analysis also came up negative and Kyle's parents tested negative as well
Jack Bauer : You're sure about this?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : The only thing I'm not sure about is if we're on the right trail
Jack Bauer : No, the body that was dropped off at Health Services was linked to Kyle Singer. Why would Salazar's people pay him to bring across a bag of worthless powder?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : Fine, but where do we even start looking?
Jack Bauer : I don't know. Wait a second, Macer said the only way to transfer the virus was in crystalline form right?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : Yeah, that's the only way it could survive outside a living body
Jack Bauer : What if it was never outside a living body?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : What'd you mean?
Jack Bauer : What if the virus was transported inside a living host? What if Kyle Singer was infected in Mexico this morning before he even left?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : But Salazar has no leverage if Singer is walking around infecting people
Jack Bauer : That's the point. He wouldn't be contagious yet
Dr. Nicole Duncan : The incubation period is fourteen hours
Jack Bauer : Right. Think about it, we know for a fact Kyle Singer was in Mexico eleven hours ago, Hector Salazar hasn't threatened to release the virus for another three hours. The math adds up
Dr. Nicole Duncan : We need to find Kyle Singer

Dr. Nicole Duncan : How long have you been using?
Jack Bauer : What?
Dr. Nicole Duncan : I did a rotation in rehab: you tend to pick up when someone's using
Jack Bauer : I don't know what you're talking about
Dr. Nicole Duncan : You know exactly what I'm talking about
Dr. Nicole Duncan : How long?
Jack Bauer : For a while now. It was the only way I could maintain my cover with the Salazar's
Dr. Nicole Duncan : Are you high now?
Jack Bauer : [Sternly] no
Dr. Nicole Duncan : [Picking up the vile of cocaine and showing it to him] it's empty
Jack Bauer : [Snatching it from her] I told you I'm fine
Dr. Nicole Duncan : I'm not so sure
Jack Bauer : If you're not so sure then turn me in
Dr. Nicole Duncan : I don't want to turn you in. I'm worried about you
Jack Bauer : You don't have to be, I've "kicked it"
Dr. Nicole Duncan : I have a responsibility to stop this virus and I am taking a "calculated" risk, that you are more of an asset than a liability so please don't screw this up
Jack Bauer : I won't
Jack Bauer : [Answering his phone] yeah?
Tony Almeida : Security found Singer, I'm about to pick him up
Jack Bauer : Ok where are you?
Tony Almeida : Second floor rotunda. Top of the north escalator, where are you?
Tony Almeida : We're coming in the loading dock, north entrance, have you got a visual?
Tony Almeida : Yeah I got it
Jack Bauer : Where've you placed your men?
Jack Bauer : Their posted at all of the entrances
Jack Bauer : Ok good, we should be there in about a minute
Tony Almeida : [Before hanging up] alright
