Quotes

President David Palmer : What's going on with Jack Bauer?
Wayne Palmer : The operation wasn't completely successful: they do have Saunders' daughter but they were unable to remain covert
President David Palmer : Saunders knows we have her?
Wayne Palmer : No, not yet but CTU is estimating he'll find out within the hour
President David Palmer : What's Jack's plan?
Wayne Palmer : Use Saunders' daughter to try to locate him. Listen, the deadline for his next demand will be up in fifteen minutes. Now giving this guy a list on every foreign operative on our payroll is an act of treason
President David Palmer : I know that but he'll release more of the virus if we don't
Wayne Palmer : So, what'd you want to do?
President David Palmer : I want to see what Bauer gets out of Saunders' daughter first
