- President David Palmer: Please have a seat
- Sherry Palmer: No thank you, I'd rather stand: so how are things with Anne?
- President David Palmer: Their fine
- Sherry Palmer: Good, I'm glad. You deserve a little bit of happiness
- President David Palmer: Thank you. You're looking well but somehow different
- Sherry Palmer: A little older?
- President David Palmer: No, it's not that. You look calm
- Sherry Palmer: Tired? Maybe but I'm not exactly sure how "calm"
- President David Palmer: I know these last three years have been difficult
- Sherry Palmer: Not as "difficult" as they could've been and I have you to thank for that, kept me out of prison, and away from public humiliation. I lost a lot but most of it, I discovered wasn't really that important to begin with which surprised me, imagine that
- Sherry Palmer: [after David chuckles] what? What's funny?
- President David Palmer: No, nothing really. It's just when I want you to pull back, just let things be, you were a shark. Now that I've asked you back, I need you to be a shark
- Sherry Palmer: I can still be whatever you need me to be
- Sherry Palmer: [after he helps her take off her coat and purse] thank you. So you say you're having some kind of trouble with Milliken?
- President David Palmer: Yes, I am
- Sherry Palmer: Ok, tell me all about it
- Alan Milliken: [Over the phone] what do you want?
- Wayne Palmer: You know I always thought you had more balls than to threaten me through my brother but you can't talk to me man to man?
- Alan Milliken: I don't owe you an explanation. You slept with my wife
- Wayne Palmer: That's between you and me
- Alan Milliken: Fine. Step down, then it all goes away
- Wayne Palmer: That's not your decision
- Alan Milliken: We'll see
- President David Palmer: [Surprising Wayne by walking up behind him] who are you talking to?
- Wayne Palmer: Alan Milliken
- President David Palmer: The hell you think you're doing?
- Wayne Palmer: [Before handing David the phone] cleaning up my own mess
- President David Palmer: Hello Alan
- Alan Milliken: That brother of yours is going to be your undoing
- President David Palmer: I am not firing my brother
- Alan Milliken: That's too bad
- President David Palmer: And I have no intention on losing my health care bill. I spent two years putting it together
- Alan Milliken: Except your three votes short last time I checked, you better brace yourself for some disappointment
- President David Palmer: I don't want to go to war with you
- Alan Milliken: It's your choice Mr. President
- President David Palmer: The choice you're giving me is unacceptable, there has to be another way to work this out
- Alan Milliken: On any other issue I'd bend over backwards for you: not on this one
- President David Palmer: Then you have only yourself to blame for the consequences and I promise you, you won't like them
- Tony Almeida: [Briefing CTU staff over a monitor] this is Michael Amador, his representing Ukrainians in the sale of the virus. Now we have a Delta team tracking on the ground in a safe distance
- Adam Kaufman: Why don't get Amador now if they know where he is?
- Tony Almeida: Because he may not being carrying the virus: if his not, we could blow up our chance at the interception
- Tony Almeida: Once Jack confirms it is the virus, the Delta team will go in and secure it
- Adam Kaufman: Delta team asked for a photo of the woman Jack is working with so I...
- Tony Almeida: Adam, wait
- Kim Bauer: [Surprised] Nina Meyers is the broker?
- Adam Kaufman: Didn't you read the Ops brief?
- Kim Bauer: No
- Tony Almeida: Kim, can you come with me?
- Tony Almeida: [to Michelle while leaving the conference room with Kim] can you finish the briefing please?
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah
- Tony Almeida: [Talking privately] I'm sorry, I was waiting for the right time to tell you
- Kim Bauer: I cannot believe Nina Meyers is involved in this
- Tony Almeida: Your father needed her help to secure the virus
- Kim Bauer: She killed my mother: my father couldn't even "pretend" to work with her
- Gael Ortega: [Over the phone] yeah?
- Hector Salazar: It's me, Edmunds escaped: killed three of my men, has he contacted CTU?
- Gael Ortega: Not yet but he might not call. I found out Edmunds is rogue, his been acting on his own
- Hector Salazar: And CTU hasn't sent anyone down here to find him?
- Gael Ortega: They don't even know where he is
- Hector Salazar: Ok you call me the second you hear anything
- Ramon Salazar: [Over the phone] yeah?
- Hector Salazar: Are you still with Bauer?
- Ramon Salazar: I'm at the main road that leads into town. I'm waiting for Bauer to bring the woman
- Hector Salazar: We have to call this off
- Ramon Salazar: What're you talking about?
- Hector Salazar: The CTU agent Edmunds: he escaped
- Ramon Salazar: How?
- Hector Salazar: I don't know. Claudia was with him, she's dead
- Ramon Salazar: I'm sorry but we still have business to do
- Hector Salazar: Not with Edmunds out there, as soon as he gets to a phone, he'll call CTU
- Ramon Salazar: Find him before that happens
- Hector Salazar: I'm trying but it's too dark, it's impossible to track
- Ramon Salazar: What are you suggesting we do?
- Hector Salazar: Forget this whole thing. It's too dangerous
- Ramon Salazar: It's always been dangerous
- Hector Salazar: Not like this
- Ramon Salazar: Listen to me, you are the one who made this deal. You promised our buyer something we can deliver, if we don't keep your promise, my reputation and everything I worked for will be ruined. Do you understand?
- Hector Salazar: I understand
- Ramon Salazar: Keep some of your men looking for Edmunds and bring the rest here so we can do the deal
- Ramon Salazar: [Referring to the restraints Jack put Nina in] handcuffs? I thought you were going to try to gain her trust?
- Jack Bauer: I know: it's just going to take a little longer than I hoped
- Jack Bauer: [Handing him the gun] she agreed to the exchange, that's what's important
- Ramon Salazar: When's it happening?
- Jack Bauer: As soon as Amador calls
- Ramon Salazar: Amador better call soon. We may not have much time, you partner escaped
- Jack Bauer: You should've let me killed him when I had the chance
- Ramon Salazar: Yes I should have. For some reason Claudia was with him, she ended up dead
- Jack Bauer: What're you talking about? How?
- Ramon Salazar: Hector didn't say
- Jack Bauer: Tell Hector I'm sorry
- Ramon Salazar: [while walking away] tell him yourself when he gets here
- President David Palmer: Bottom line is Alan's determined to see Wayne removed: even if that means destroying my Presidency
- Sherry Palmer: And you've tried to work this out peacefully?
- President David Palmer: Of course, Alan wouldn't budge. In Alan's mind it's a matter of pride
- Sherry Palmer: So, you want me to find something you can use against Alan?
- President David Palmer: [Leans forward on his desk] I've always known you knew things about Alan that you didn't tell me because of my friendship with him
- Sherry Palmer: And I've always known that you were too smart to ask
- President David Palmer: I guess we were both right
- Sherry Palmer: Alan does have some skeletons in his closet that he would guard at any cost. One in particular comes to mind but I must warn you it's a big one
- President David Palmer: What is it?
- Sherry Palmer: All you need to know is that if you play this card you and Alan will be enemies for the rest of your life
- President David Palmer: As far as I'm concerned our friendship ended when he tried to extort me
- Sherry Palmer: [Stands up] then I can help you
- Wayne Palmer: [while hugging] what're you doing in here?
- Sherry Palmer: Oh, I'm just waiting for them to prepare an office for me
- Wayne Palmer: It's good to see you but to be blunt, I don't think your being here is such a good idea
- Sherry Palmer: Well of course you don't sweetie because this whole thing is about your indiscretion with Julia and I say that with no judgment
- Wayne Palmer: Of course you do because you're the last person on earth who's in a position to pass judgment
- Sherry Palmer: Ok let's not play this: we're both too good at it. So, what'd you want me to hear?
- Wayne Palmer: Listen, I do appreciate you coming down here...
- Sherry Palmer: [Interrupts him] no, no. Skip that part
- Wayne Palmer: I forgot part about you, do whatever it is you do around here for a few hours but then I want you to tell David you are unable to find out anything you can use on Alan Milliken
- Sherry Palmer: You know if I do that, the only way out of this is if you resign
- Wayne Palmer: Which is what I want to do
- Sherry Palmer: Well David doesn't want that. Frankly, neither do I
- Wayne Palmer: Why do you care?
- Sherry Palmer: Because David needs someone like me. Someone who sees things the way they really are, whose not afraid to throw a punch every now and then. It's obvious I can't play that role anymore, but you can. I feel good knowing David's got you and I can make sure he keeps you so save your breath, I'm going to fix this and make sure your brother gets reelected
- Wayne Palmer: [Stands up] fine, but don't you forget how dangerous Alan Milliken can be
- Sherry Palmer: Oh, I won't forget. I'm afraid you're the one who forgot when you decided to get involved with his wife
- Kim Bauer: [after walking into his office] any word on Nina Meyers?
- Tony Almeida: No, not yet. Look, I know it's hard but you're going to have to put your feelings aside until this is all over
- Kim Bauer: How could I put my feelings aside? How could my father put my feelings aside? I spent the last three years of my life knowing that the woman who killed my mother was pardoned by the President and that's she out there living her life and it's wrong
- Tony Almeida: I know
- Tony Almeida: She's violating her pardon: isn't she? She's buying and selling the virus. We cannot let her get away this time
- Tony Almeida: Let's not get ahead ourselves here
- Kim Bauer: Please, she has to pay for what she's done. Promise me when this is all over you'll help make that happen
- Nina Myers: [while gesturing to him to come closer so they can talk privately away from Jack] Ramón
- Nina Myers: [after he walks over] Jack's not who you think he is
- Ramon Salazar: Is that right?
- Nina Myers: His working with CTU: his setting you up
- Ramon Salazar: You think my brother and I are that stupid? We made sure his acting alone, don't you even think about undermining this deal
- President David Palmer: [Answering his call over the speakerphone with Wayne listening] yes Alan?
- Alan Milliken: What the hell do you think you're doing?
- President David Palmer: What're you talking about?
- Alan Milliken: Don't screw with me
- President David Palmer: I didn't pick this fight
- Alan Milliken: You think you can enlist your psychopathic ex-wife to manufacture lies about me in order to bring me down? It's not going to happen
- President David Palmer: You want it to stop? Keep your hands off my health care bill and stay away from my brother
- Alan Milliken: You got it backwards: your brother should've stayed away from my wife
- President David Palmer: Come on, it's over
- Alan Milliken: [while on his computer] really? I'm looking at photographs of her and Wayne together an hour ago
- President David Palmer: He was just trying to convince her into talking some sense to you
- Alan Milliken: I'm warning you, pull Sherry off this or the health care bill will be the least of your problems
- President David Palmer: [after Alan hangs up] Alan's scared
- Wayne Palmer: Alan's the most dangerous when his scared
- President David Palmer: I just got off the phone with Alan Milliken
- Sherry Palmer: [after she closes the door] blowback happened quickly huh?
- President David Palmer: Uh huh
- Sherry Palmer: I guess he was pretty upset
- President David Palmer: What've you been up to?
- Sherry Palmer: Exactly what you asked me to do: I'm fighting back
- President David Palmer: What's Sugarland Falls? And what happened there?
- Sherry Palmer: Well, it's "something" Alan wants to keep buried but I'm going to tell you everything but not just now, I've got a lot to get done in a very short time if I'm going to pull this off for you
- Ryan Chappelle: [after hearing the baby crying] that's it Chloe: you're out of here
- Chloe O'Brian: I told you I didn't have anyone to watch her
- Ryan Chappelle: You'll watch her. I gave you a warning, now you're suspended
- Chloe O'Brian: It was a verbal warning only
- Michelle Dessler: [Implying they should talk privately] Ryan
- Ryan Chappelle: What?
- Michelle Dessler: Jack's meeting Amador in less than an hour and we have no visual satellite coverage in that area
- Ryan Chappelle: What does that have to do with this baby?
- Michelle Dessler: We're going to have to use digitally enhanced audio coverage. Chloe is the best we have at that
- Ryan Chappelle: So you're telling me we have to let this woman raise her child in our office because we don't have anyone who could do her job?
- Michelle Dessler: What I'm telling you is maybe we should deal with Chloe's child care problems on another day
- Chloe O'Brian: [while Ryan walks back to Chloe] I have work to do, who's going to look after my child?
- Ryan Chappelle: Give her to Kim
- Kim Bauer: [Surprised] What?
