Quotes 

• President David Palmer : [Meeting with his Cabinet members]  thank you for assembling on such short notice, you've already been on the Cordilla virus that is now threatening our cities. What you don't know is there are two new developments

  Wayne Palmer : First, a vial of that virus has already been released at the Chandler Plaza Hotel here in Los Angeles was the site of the first attack, that situation is being addressed. Secondly, we've discovered the identity of the perpetrator, his name is Stephen Saunders and his a former MI6 agent. Now, apparently Mr. Saunders has at least eleven more vials and is threatening to release them unless we meet his demands

  Vice President Jim Prescott : Mr. President, what are those demands?

  Wayne Palmer : So far there have been two: the first was to use the phrase "The sky is falling" in a press conference. He then demanded we terminate one of our own agents

  Vice President Jim Prescott : One of our own agents? Why?

  Wayne Palmer : We're still looking into that

  General Stone : What was his response if you didn't comply?

  President David Palmer : It devastates me to tell you this but I had no choice but to comply. Half an hour ago we delivered this agent's body to one of Saunders' representatives

  Vice President Jim Prescott : My God

  President David Palmer : Millions of lives are at stake, we're going to need each of your departments to open your files to CTU Los Angeles. Give them whatever they need
