Quotes 

• Michael Amador : Hello Jack, so these must be the buyers you're representing?

  Jack Bauer : [Introducing them]  this is Hector and Ramon Salazar

  Jack Bauer : [after taking out a white envelop]  there's a hundred million dollars in escrow accounts in Geneva and Hong Kong: we're prepared to give immediate instructions to have the money transferred as soon as we have confirmation that the virus has been delivered

  Michael Amador : There's been a "complication", another buyer's interested in the virus

  Jack Bauer : What're you talking about? We have a deal

  Hector Salazar : What's going on Jack?

  Jack Bauer : I don't know

  Michael Amador : I have nothing to do with it. This is a new development, it just surfaced in the last few hours. We'll hold an auction and the virus will go to the highest bidder. Mr. Salazar, I'm only representing the wishes of my client

  Jack Bauer : May we have a moment?

  Michael Amador : Of course

  Jack Bauer : [Talking privately]  Hector, this does not to be a problem

  Hector Salazar : This is a huge problem

  Jack Bauer : Think it through, you add forty to fifty million dollars to this price tag, your still looking at a eight hundred million dollar profit. You said you could move the virus for a billion dollars, that was your estimate right?

  Hector Salazar : Something like that

  Jack Bauer : You've come this far, don't stop. Let it play out

• Ramon Salazar : [after Nina steps out of the SUV and Jack briefly faces away]  you know her?

  Nina Myers : [after seeing Jack]  the hell is he doing here? That man is a federal agent

  Michael Amador : I know who he is: everything's fine

  Nina Myers : No, it's not. He's setting us up

  Nina Myers : [to her bodyguard]  you have to kill him

  Michael Amador : [to Nina's bodyguard and Salazar's men after they raise their guns at each other]  first man to fire gets cut down, that's a promise

  Nina Myers : [Referring to Jack]  why is he here?

  Michael Amador : He represents a buyer, just like you

  Nina Myers : No, he doesn't. Believe me, I know him whatever he told you his lying

  Jack Bauer : [Walking up to her]  I don't work for CTU anymore Nina, I work for myself

  Nina Myers : I'm out of here

  Michael Amador : [while she walk away]  Nina, please

  Jack Bauer : Let her go and honor the original agreement

  Michael Amador : Nina, I don't think your clients are going to be too happy if you walk out and let the virus go to another buyer

  Cale : [Reminding her]  we've got to close this deal

  Michael Amador : We have a wide perimeter, look outs everywhere, and we're monitoring every frequency. There's no local military within twenty-five kilometers, you know how I work. This area is completely secure, if I have the slightest doubt I wouldn't be here. I suggest we all take a few moments to calm ourselves and I'll explain the ground rules and proceed with the bids agreed?

  Ramon Salazar : Agreed

  Nina Myers : Fine

  Michael Amador : Good

• Michael Amador : Are you ready with your bids?

  Jack Bauer : Yes

  Nina Myers : yes

  Michael Amador : [Before Jack and Nina hand him their bids with the amount written inside]  let me see them

  Michael Amador : The banks will verify the presence of these funds?

  Jack Bauer : Yes that is correct

  Nina Myers : The bank will verify those as well

  Michael Amador : [to Jack]  your bid is two hundred and twenty-five million dollars

  Michael Amador : Hers is two hundred and forty. Nina, you win. The transfer will take place in two hours
