- Jack Bauer: Whatever you've planned next is going to fail. Just like everything else you've tried today.
- Habib Marwan: Fail? Almost 40 dead in the train crash, many more near the San Gabriel Island nuclear plant.
- Jack Bauer: That wasn't really your plan, was it? We managed to stop the other 103 power plants from melting down. That's what America will remember, that we stopped you.
- Habib Marwan: No. They'll remember the image of Secretary of Defense Heller, held hostage on your own soil, and it will burn in their psyches. This country will forever be afraid to let their leaders appear in public.
- Jack Bauer: For all the hatred that you have for this country, you don't understand it very well. Whatever you throw at us, I promise you, that will never happen.
- Chloe O'Brian: Meg found something in the hourly, she's gonna get it to you. I need you to look at it, I'm preparing for this briefing.
- Edgar Stiles: Can't Meg do it?
- Chloe O'Brian: No, it's the job of the lead Tactical, isn't that what you think you are?
- Edgar Stiles: I don't need your sarcasm, okay? I'll take care of it.
- Chloe O'Brian: Edgar, what's the new password for the central server?
- Edgar Stiles: I'll get you on.
- Chloe O'Brian: No, don't get me on, just give me the password so I can access it whenever I want to.
- Edgar Stiles: It's not your area anymore.
- Chloe O'Brian: What are you talking about? You work for me.
- Edgar Stiles: No, I *worked* for you. Worked, with an -ed at the end. Past tense.
- Chloe O'Brian: Edgar, I have been reinstated. So quit being territorial, just give me the password!
- Edgar Stiles: No!
- [Chloe walks over to Curtis]
- Chloe O'Brian: Curtis, could you please explain to Edgar that I've been rehired to resume my position as head of com?
- Curtis Manning: Things have changed, Chloe. Edgar took over from you, you'll be working for him now.
- Chloe O'Brian: You're kidding? Michelle called me in because things were falling apart here under Edgar. Now give me my command or I walk.
- Curtis Manning: You have equal authority. Just on paper, it has to look like you work for him.
- Chloe O'Brian: Well, I'm not gonna do that. It's a matter of principle.
- Curtis Manning: You'll be bumped up to a term 4 analist. That's a 35 % increase in salary, plus bonus.
- Chloe O'Brian: Well, I should be getting that anyway, but that's not my point. Edgar works for me.
- Curtis Manning: Not today, Chloe.
- Tony Almeida: The report says Dina's been dead for less than thirty minutes: we can only assume that's when Marwan grabbed Jack
- Michelle Dessler: [sighs] what's the search range on Jack and Marwan?
- Tony Almeida: Fifteen hundred square miles but it's increasing by the minute
- Michelle Dessler: What about chatter?
- Tony Almeida: I've filtered through everything that came from Langley, NSA, and Interpol. None of it is correlating right now
- Michelle Dessler: Volume?
- Tony Almeida: It's actually slowing down which may mean we've incurred all the damage we will today
- Michelle Dessler: Or it could be the "calm before the storm?"
- Tony Almeida: Yeah, the one thing we know for sure if Jack's alive, he'll find a way to contact us
- Michelle Dessler: We'll just have to wait until we pick up thread on Marwan
- Tony Almeida: Yeah
- Michelle Dessler: So, I heard Jack called you earlier today?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah
- Michelle Dessler: And that you saved his life?
- Tony Almeida: We both know I owed him one right?
- Tony Almeida: [Intentionally changing the subject] Audrey's been waiting for her husband to get out of surgery, I think we should tell her about Jack
- Michelle Dessler: Why?
- Tony Almeida: Their involved
- Michelle Dessler: She's married
- Tony Almeida: Separated
- Michelle Dessler: I prefer not to tell her anything
- Tony Almeida: Why?
- Michelle Dessler: Because we may have to make a very tough call on how Jack's capture plays out
- Tony Almeida: She's a professional, she knows it may be a possibility, I think it'd be wrong to keep it from her
- Michelle Dessler: I don't want her interfering
- Tony Almeida: I think she has a right to know, but hey, you're the boss: it's your call
- Tony Almeida: [Over the phone] I've got Michelle and Buchanan here, I'll put you on speaker
- Jack Bauer: Ok
- Tony Almeida: You ok?
- Jack Bauer: Yeah, I'm fine, I need you to pick up a phone matrix within a twenty mile radius on the dam
- Tony Almeida: What're you thinking?
- Jack Bauer: I managed to short circuit some phone lines in the building I was being held. If you can find two service obstructions at the same coordinates, we can get to Marwan
- Tony Almeida: I'm opening an interface with the phone company now
- Jack Bauer: We don't have a lot of time: Marwan was in the building but his not going to stay there for long
- Tony Almeida: We have tactical teams ready to go. Once we get a location, I'll reposition them for assault
- Jack Bauer: Ok, I know the layout, I'll run point
- Tony Almeida: Copy that
- Michelle Dessler: [Updating CTU staff] listen up, Jack Bauer is missing, there's a good chance his being held by our primary target: Habib Marwan because we believe Marwan is preparing for another domestic terror attack today. We need to pull all of our resources to find him. All COMM teams coordinate with Edgar thank you
- Habib Marwan: I have a few simple questions: if you answer them, there's a chance you may survive
- Jack Bauer: Don't waste your time
- Habib Marwan: You located me through a man named Joseph Fayed who you might be interested to know has since martyred himself. It would help me if I knew he was the only link you have to me
- Habib Marwan: [Over the phone] I'm going to give you final instructions now: make sure you follow them implicitly, are you ready?
- Michelle Dessler: Go ahead
- Habib Marwan: How are you transporting Behrooz?
- Michelle Dessler: In one of our tactical vehicles
- Habib Marwan: Good, now approach by the Frontage Road, pull up at the back gate of the dam, have Behrooz get out by himself, and walk toward the gate. The van will be there to pick him up
- Michelle Dessler: What about Jack Bauer?
- Habib Marwan: He'll be in the van
- Michelle Dessler: [after Bill shakes his head to her] that doesn't work for me. I want to see Jack before I give up Behrooz
- Habib Marwan: That's acceptable
- Michelle Dessler: And I want him unharmed
- Habib Marwan: The boy scout is just fine. Remember, Behrooz gets out by himself. If any of your agents interfere, Bauer dies
- Michelle Dessler: Understood
- Habib Marwan: Don't be late
- Michelle Dessler: Our vehicle is five minutes away
- Habib Marwan: [Before hanging up] I'll see you in five minutes
- Michelle Dessler: [Over the phone with Edgar trying to trace the call and Curtis listening in] this is Michelle Dessler: Director of CTU, to whom am I speaking to?
- Habib Marwan: This is Habib Marwan, Jack Bauer is alive and in my custody
- Michelle Dessler: I'll need to speak to him
- Habib Marwan: I'll return him to you unharmed in exchange for Behrooz Araz. I will give you ten minutes to secure clearances with your people
- Michelle Dessler: I need more time before I can agree to that
- Habib Marwan: Ten minutes, I will call you then with exact details on how the exchange is to proceed
- Michelle Dessler: [after Marwan hangs up, to Edgar] did you get a trace?
- Edgar Stiles: No
- Michelle Dessler: Alright, confirm Marwan's identity off voice and process Behrooz Araz, we may need to move him
- Edgar Stiles: Got it
- Curtis Manning: Why is Behrooz Araz worth trading for Jack?
- Michelle Dessler: [Before walking away] I don't know: have all tactical teams meet me in the situation room
- Audrey Raines: What's wrong?
- Chloe O'Brian: Nothing... I mean there's bad news about Jack if that's what you're asking: since Jack and your father aren't here, you're the official DOD representative so these are some standard nondisclosure forms, just read them whenever you get a chance I've flagged wherever you need to sign
- Audrey Raines: I'll do that now
- Chloe O'Brian: I'm really sorry about your husband
- Audrey Raines: Thank you
- Chloe O'Brian: I can't imagine you'd be feeling right now if I were you
- Audrey Raines: I'm feeling like someone's afraid of losing her husband
- Chloe O'Brian: No, I mean you and your husband are separated and you fall in love with Jack "I guess", and when their together, your husband ends up taking a bullet that saves Jack's life, what'd you do with that?
- Audrey Raines: I can't think about that right now ok? I just need Paul to pull through this
- Chloe O'Brian: What about Jack? You just assume the terrorists aren't going to kill him?
- Audrey Raines: [Irritated, handing her the forms are signing them] I don't want to talk about it, here
- Chloe O'Brian: If I was inappropriately blunt wasn't I? I do that a lot: sorry, I'm going to go, I have a field meeting anyway
- Michelle Dessler: How are you going to handle this?
- Curtis Manning: The kid thinks his mother made a deal to protect him: first I have to do is let him think that deal is off
- Michelle Dessler: No, we can't use the psychological approach, it's too slow
- Curtis Manning: What're you suggesting?
- Michelle Dessler: I think his just going to "drag his feet" unless we put some physical pressure on him
- Curtis Manning: His just a scared kid, I'm pretty sure his given us everything he knows
- Michelle Dessler: You're pretty sure?
- Curtis Manning: I'll call Richards
- Behrooz Araz: Who's going to protect me?
- Curtis Manning: We are: that's why we put trackers on you
- Behrooz Araz: You don't think Marwan will find them? He will
- Curtis Manning: Hopefully it won't come to that
- Behrooz Araz: What does that mean?
- Curtis Manning: We're going to have the area sounded. We will protect you
- Behrooz Araz: Why would you protect me? I'm nothing to you people, you think I'm a terrorist
- Curtis Manning: I don't believe you are
- Behrooz Araz: Marwan is going to be there, why don't you just grab him when we get there?
- Curtis Manning: His "probably" going to be there: we need you to lead us to him
- Behrooz Araz: Oh God
- Curtis Manning: It's going to be alright
- Behrooz Araz: It's not
- Audrey Raines: Have you heard anything on Jack?
- Curtis Manning: Yeah, we just got some information couple minutes ago
- Audrey Raines: Why didn't you let me know?
- Curtis Manning: I'm sorry but things are going pretty fast here. Jack's alive, he is being held by Marwan
- Audrey Raines: How did you confirm that?
- Curtis Manning: Marwan contacted us
- Audrey Raines: He contacted you? Why would he do that?
- Curtis Manning: He wants to make a trade, Jack for Behrooz
- Audrey Raines: When is that going to happen?
- Curtis Manning: We don't know if it is going to happen
- Audrey Raines: What'd you mean?
- Curtis Manning: If "he" wants to make this trade, that means Behrooz has tactical value. If that's the case we may have to hold onto him, there's a lot of stuff we have to go over before anything happens. I'll keep you posted but right now I have to get in that room with Behrooz alright?
- Tony Almeida: [after Audrey walks up to them] how's Paul doing?
- Audrey Raines: His still in surgery, I won't know until he gets out
- Tony Almeida: [to Tony] have you heard anything from Jack?
- Michelle Dessler: [Answers for Tony] Jack is missing
- Audrey Raines: Missing?
- Michelle Dessler: We think he was taken by Habib Marwan
- Audrey Raines: My God: what're we doing to get him back?
- Michelle Dessler: Everything we can
- Audrey Raines: How did this happen? I thought we were tracking him? He was suppose to be protected
- Michelle Dessler: No one is "fully" protected in the field
- Audrey Raines: Who is in charge of this operation?
- Michelle Dessler: I was
- Audrey Raines: Get him back Michelle
- Behrooz Araz: [while in an interrogation room as Tony watches in the monitoring room] how much longer do I have to stay here?
- Curtis Manning: These things take time
- Behrooz Araz: Where is my mother?
- Curtis Manning: She's still in the field
- Behrooz Araz: With Jack Bauer? Is she ok?
- Curtis Manning: Yeah, she's fine
- Curtis Manning: [after grabbing him out of the chair and pushing against the wall] tell me about Habib Marwan
- Behrooz Araz: Why are you doing this?
- Curtis Manning: [Sitting him back down in the chair] Habib Marwan, your mother gave us a little information: she said you can give us more
- Behrooz Araz: You promised me you wouldn't hurt me
- Behrooz Araz: [Turns head to face the one way mirror] please get this guy away from me
- Curtis Manning: [Telling Behrooz to face him] over here: we're just going to have a little talk
- Behrooz Araz: Marwan's the leader, that's all I know. I heard my parents talk about him, that's it
- Michelle Dessler: [Before receiving a call from Marwan] everyone on this: this is Dessler
- Habib Marwan: [Referring to the time and location for them to make the exchange of Jack for Behrooz] Union Conduit Dam, north entrance, thirty minutes
- Michelle Dessler: I need to know Jack Bauer is still alive
- Habib Marwan: Very well
- Habib Marwan: [to Jack, while holding the receiver to his mouth] Michelle Dessler wants to know you're still alive
- Jack Bauer: I'm being held in an abandoned warehouse somewhere downtown
- Habib Marwan: [to Michelle] satisfied?
- Michelle Dessler: I don't know if I can make this happen in thirty minutes
- Habib Marwan: [Before hanging up] you'll find a way
- Curtis Manning: [while in an interrogation room] when you said your father spoke to Marwan, was that over the phone? Or did he come to your house?
- Behrooz Araz: Both
- Curtis Manning: Did you ever speak to Marwan alone? Away from your parents?
- Behrooz Araz: No
- Curtis Manning: When they would meet preparing for today's attacks, were you in the room?
- Behrooz Araz: I told you, they didn't want me in there
- Tony Almeida: Any word on Paul?
- Audrey Raines: They still don't know yet
- Tony Almeida: I thought you wanted to know: we decided to go ahead with the exchange, we're getting Behrooz right now
- Audrey Raines: It's not going to be that "simple" is it?
- Tony Almeida: These things are never "simple" but if Marwan really wants the kid, his got no reason to hurt Jack
- Audrey Raines: And if he doesn't? And it's just a trap?
- Tony Almeida: We'll be prepared. Our fields will have the area fully covered
- Audrey Raines: Will you be there?
- Tony Almeida: No, I'll be running point from here but Curtis will be on the ground
- Audrey Raines: Is the operational objective to get Jack?
- Audrey Raines: [after pausing] no, it isn't. We have to consider Jack expendable: this whole thing is about creating an exposure point for Marwan
- Audrey Raines: I know, thank you for being straight with me
- Tony Almeida: Look, Jack's about the only friend I have left. So I'm going to do everything I can to keep him safe alright?
- Michelle Dessler: [Briefing CTU staff] Marwan wants to exchange Jack Bauer for Behrooz Araz, the obvious question is, why?
- Tony Almeida: The way I see it there are two possibilities: one, there's a personal connection. Two, Behrooz has information that can damage Marwan
- Michelle Dessler: I agree, Edgar, have your team sift through everything on Behrooz Araz. go back as far as you can, see if there's a family link between him and Marwan
- Michelle Dessler: [to Tony] did the initial interrogation reveal Behrooz knew anything might make him valuable to Marwan?
- Tony Almeida: No but the main focus was on the mother: we really didn't push him very hard
- Michelle Dessler: [to Curtis] push harder, see what you can find but do it now, my guess is Marwan will want to make this exchange within the hour. Tony, monitor him from the observation room. Chloe, what'd we have on audio?
- Chloe O'Brian: I was able to get some voice memos from McLennan-Forrester through voice print match: it was Marwan's
- Tony Almeida: [During a briefing meeting] alright everyone listen up, this is Bill Buchanan from Division: he'll be overseeing the operation. All department heads run everything through him
- Bill Buchanan: In less than half an hour Habib Marwan wants to make an exchange at the Union Conduit Damn. Behrooz Araz for Jack Bauer now before we decide to move "forward", I need to know a few things: why does Marwan want the boy? What's his value?
- Tony Almeida: We were unable to find any evidence that Behrooz had any critical information
- Bill Buchanan: Did you push him?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah, I don't think the kid knows anything
- Bill Buchanan: Who's doing background?
- Chloe O'Brian: Me, there's nothing specifically that ties these two people together. The parents? Yes, Behrooz? No
- Bill Buchanan: Could Behrooz have "something" implanted in his body? "Something" neither he nor his parents knew about?
- Tony Almeida: No, we had him scanned when he was brought in
- Bill Buchanan: Did you do an MRI?
- Tony Almeida: Yeah
- Bill Buchanan: I don't like giving up something unless I know its value: let's talk about what happens if we don't agree to the exchange?
- Chloe O'Brian: We don't get Jack Bauer back for one thing
- Bill Buchanan: That can't be the deciding factor here
- Michelle Dessler: Well, most importantly if we don't go through with this exchange, we may lose an opportunity to trap Marwan
- Bill Buchanan: Marwan has to know what we're thinking, the chances of him being at the exchange are small
- Michelle Dessler: I agree but we could put a tracer on Behrooz, he might lead us to Marwan
- Bill Buchanan: We tried to trace Jack and Dina Araz an hour ago, they grabbed Jack and killed Dina
- Edgar Stiles: We'll take a different approach: use tracers, two of them. One for Marwan to find, the other one subcutaneous
- Bill Buchanan: There's no guarantee he'll find that one too
- Michelle Dessler: No, sir, there are no guarantees period. The fact is we have no viable leads on Marwan, we have to run with every chance we get
- Bill Buchanan: Have tactical finish up the profiles in five minutes, let's get field teams on their way to the dam now
