- Quotes
Andre Drazen: [Andre plans his next move with his men] From the machine room we'll go through the fire wall in section A4.
Karris: That's two inches of reinforced steel.
Andre Drazen: We can take it out with a shaped charge. Concussion will disorient the men posted there long enough for us to take them out.
[to Karris]
Andre Drazen: If you have a problem, Karris, share it with the rest of us.
Karris: It took us a year to organize this operation, and now it's all coming apart. First, your brother disappears before he can cut the power, then we find out we're up against twice as many men as you said there will be.
Andre Drazen: We can still achieve what we came here to do.
Karris: I'm not against going in, Andre. As long as we take the time to do it right.
Andre Drazen: You don't think this is the right way?
Karris: I'd say the odds pretty much suck.
Andre Drazen: How much worse would you calculate they've become?
Karris: I don't know.
Andre Drazen: Give me a number. 10%? 20%?
Karris: I'd say fifty.
Andre Drazen: Then I'll adjust your compensation accordingly.
Karris: It's not about the money.
Andre Drazen: You accepted an advance, signed a contract.
Karris: Which you broke first, Andre.
Andre Drazen: [Andre grabs Karris and threatens him with a knife] The next word that I hear from you that isn't constructive - I release you from your contract.
- Alternate versionsA scene cut from the US airing, but present in the UK release, features Andre threatening Harris with a knife to his throat.
It is quite fitting that such a shocker occurs in this show, the most claustrophobic of the season: a large part of it takes place in an underground detention center. This place was found by Jack, who's now interested in uncovering the identity of the only prisoner in the facility, a mysterious man whom Andre Drazen wants to either set free or kill. Back in Los Angeles, Teri, now aware of her identity, is taken to CTU after she was attacked in her own house, Kim fails to convince the DEA she isn't a criminal, and David Palmer realizes his marriage has reached the point of no return.
Given events take place late in the evening, the outside darkness adds to the tense mood, which is increased by the slow disruption of Palmer's affections for his wife: with Haysbert quietly solemn and Johnson furiously determined, their discussion on allegiance and honesty comes close to stealing the limelight from Jack's misadventures; fortunately, that doesn't happen, thanks to Sutherland's sweaty intensity, the startling revelation of the prisoner's identity and a cliffhanger ending ("They're coming.") that's as hair-raising as they come.
