Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  please don't say my name or react openly on what I'm about to tell you

  President Allison Taylor : Yes?

  Jack Bauer : President Hassan is no longer in my custody: he got away and his trying to hand himself over to the terrorists, that's why the bomb didn't detonate

  President Allison Taylor : I'm afraid I don't understand

  Jack Bauer : You are being betrayed by General Brucker. Forty minutes ago, we were attacked by mercenaries under his command

  President Allison Taylor : Go on

  Jack Bauer : We managed to fight off the attack but President Hassan turned himself over to one of them: in an effort to stop the bomb from going off. As we speak, their preparing to hand him over to the terrorists. I'm assuming that is still unacceptable to you?

  President Allison Taylor : That is correct

  Jack Bauer : General Brucker is in charge of this operation: his in communication with the terrorists, I need to know where the exchange is going to take place. Ma'am, you need to confront him now

  President Allison Taylor : I understand

  Jack Bauer : As soon as you have anything, please contact CTU

  President Allison Taylor : [Before hanging up]  I will

• President Allison Taylor : Where is President Hassan?

  President Allison Taylor : [When Weiss doesn't respond]  damn you, where is he?

  Rob Weiss : I don't know

  President Allison Taylor : [Slaps him]  don't lie to me: tell me where he is

  Rob Weiss : No ma'am, I cannot and if this makes any difference, this was not an easy decision

  President Allison Taylor : It makes no difference at all, it wasn't your decision to make

  Rob Weiss : With all due respect, you were not elected to sentence tens of thousands Americans to death

  President Allison Taylor : Is that how you justify this? You have sold out a peace I committed this Administration to

  Rob Weiss : I protected New York and given you "plausible deniability" in an impossible situation

  President Allison Taylor : I don't want "deniability", I want Hassan: we are on the verge of a peace that has eluded this planet for fifty years and you are throwing it away. Tell me where he is

  President Allison Taylor : [When Weiss doesn't respond again]  the charge is treason: it carries the death penalty and so help me God, I will throw the switch myself. Tell me where he is. It's not too late
