- Jack Bauer: Has security found Henderson yet?
- Audrey Raines: No, he got out of the building before the lockdown: an external camera got a shot of him as he was leaving and the car he was using was found a block away. I think we've gotten what we need from him
- Jack Bauer: What're you talking about?
- Audrey Raines: Chloe was able to decrypt a file from his computer, she got a name of someone connected to Bierko
- Jack Bauer: [while reading her file] who's Collette Stenger?
- Audrey Raines: She's an international intelligence broker: state's secrets, intellectual property
- Jack Bauer: What's her connection to Bierko?
- Audrey Raines: Interpol claims she and Bierko met at least twice in the last eight months
- Jack Bauer: And if we think she helped brokered the deal, is she still in Los Angeles?
- Audrey Raines: She gave the name of a hotel to Customs but nothing to say she's actually there. Curtis is prepping a tactical team to try to bring her in
- Vice President Hal Gardner: [while Logan looks at the statement] are you having second doubts?
- President Charles Logan: We're putting soldiers on the streets of LA: this will not be a popular announcement
- Vice President Hal Gardner: Maybe not but it's the right move
- Martha Logan: [Walking up to them] Hal, will you excuse us please?
- Vice President Hal Gardner: Mrs. Logan, the President is about to go on the air
- Martha Logan: I'll be brief, I'd like a moment alone with my husband
- President Charles Logan: [after Hal leaves] I've up my mind, I'm not debating this anymore
- Martha Logan: Just listen, Mike Novick spoke to CTU. They think they have a lead on this man Bierko, they think they might find him before they launch another attack
- President Charles Logan: CTU was just hit: forty percent of their people are either dead or unable to work, to think they were able to stop this attack is just wishful thinking
- Martha Logan: Maybe not
- President Charles Logan: Bringing in the military is the best way to maintain order, now the Vice President is right about that
- Martha Logan: Of course he is
- President Charles Logan: What's that mean?
- Martha Logan: Has it ever occurred to you that he proposed this whole thing up to set you up for a fall? So he gets the nomination this year
- President Charles Logan: That's insane: Hal's only motivation is what's best for the country
- Martha Logan: There's going to be fallout, Hal knows it and you know it
- President Charles Logan: [Giving a statement to the press] as you all know, America has been hit today by a series of terrorist strikes: beginning with assassination of the former President Palmer, and the murder of innocent civilians at Ontario Airport, followed by the attempted assassination of Russian President Yuri Suvarov. These events are being orchestrated by terrorists operating within our borders, our most recent intelligence suggests that they will strike again and soon. I can and will do my sworn duty to ensure the safety of the American people. Therefore, I am issuing an Executive Order imposing a curfew on the civilians in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, this curfew will be effective immediately and will be enforced by the military, as disruptive and distasteful I know it is for many of you, I would ask that you remember that we are at war.
- Bill Buchanan: [after entering her office] I saw a "proficiency" evaluation for all CTU personnel on my secondary screen
- Karen Hayes: That's a formality: the fact is we don't have time for evaluations right now
- Bill Buchanan: Why was it put in the pipeline?
- Karen Hayes: Like I said, it's a formality
- Bill Buchanan: Your here to shut this place down aren't you? The evaluations will be filled in later as a matter of protocol
- Karen Hayes: I told you before the White House...
- Bill Buchanan: [Interrupts her] I know what you told me before: now tell me the truth
- Karen Hayes: The truth is CTU is being absorbed by Homeland, which means from now on every operational decision needs to go through me. What did you expect? You've been infiltrated, fifty six of your people have been killed. The others are demoralized...
- Bill Buchanan: [Interrupts her, raises his voice] their not demoralized. Their angry, they want to fight back, their willing to lay down their lives, some already have
- Karen Hayes: It's done, the decision's been made and I know neither one of us wants this transition to interfere with ongoing protocols, so let's keep it between us. At least until this crisis plays out
- Audrey Raines: [Talking privately] Homeland has been overly aggressive in their survey: what is going on?
- Bill Buchanan: Nothing, it's just a formality, they'll be gone as soon as they finish their evaluation. Where are we on the military mobilization?
- Audrey Raines: Martial Law is in effect in nine out of the fifteen LA districts, there are checkpoints throughout the city right now
- Bill Buchanan: The President's done the right thing
- Jack Bauer: [after hanging up the phone with Chloe when she confirmed the background information Stoller told him] you were with Collette Stenger: we need her to help find Vladimir Bierko
- Theo Stoller: How do you know him?
- Jack Bauer: Bierko's responsible for terrorist earlier in the city today. His preparing another one as we speak, Stenger is the only way we can find him. Where is she?
- Theo Stoller: I can't help you
- Jack Bauer: Why not?
- Theo Stoller: Giving up Collette jeopardizes my operation
- Jack Bauer: What operation?
- Theo Stoller: I've been undercover for the last six months, gathering Intel on Collette's clientele. We've identified cells in three countries connected to a dozen more. She's too valuable to give up
- Jack Bauer: If we don't find Bierko, hundreds of thousands of innocent people will die here today. That is more important than your preemptive operation
- Theo Stoller: It's not a question of importance, it's a question of different agendas. Your job is to save American lives, my job is to save German lives. Your asking me to betray my duty to my country, ask yourself what you would do if you were in my position
- Jack Bauer: You better start asking yourself what you would do if you were in mine
- Theo Stoller: I'm here with the permission of your government: you can't touch me
- Jack Bauer: Right, we'll see about that
- Karen Hayes: [while in Bill's office] give me details of the current threat assessment?
- Bill Buchanan: There's a high probability Bierko is planning an attack on a much larger scale than anything we've seen today. That's why he targeted CTU: cripple our ability to stop him
- Karen Hayes: And the question is, was he successful? When you look at the numbers, you were harder hit than you thought
- Bill Buchanan: We're still functioning, maybe not at a hundred percent, when you install the people I asked for, we'll be back to fighting strength
- Karen Hayes: Have you made any progress finding Bierko?
- Bill Buchanan: We've identified a woman who might lead us to him: Collette Stenger
- Chloe O'Brian: [after entering the Situation room] what's going on?
- Karen Hayes: Why don't you tell us?
- Chloe O'Brian: I don't know
- Karen Hayes: We've got you hacking into a top secret NSA archive
- Chloe O'Brian: I don't know what you're talking about
- Miles Papazian: [to Chloe] I pulled a mirrored archive of your web traffic: whatever you took from NSA was uploaded to Jack Bauer's remote node
- Karen Hayes: Tell us exactly what document you passed to Jack Bauer
- Bill Buchanan: [after Chloe doesn't say anything] this going to get much worse if you force me to have NSA to run a back trace, what is it?
- Chloe O'Brian: Jack needed the "wet list"
- Karen Hayes: [Shocked] what? Why on earth would you give him that?
- Chloe O'Brian: Theo Stoller wouldn't lead us to Collette Stenger without it
- Bill Buchanan: Giving that list to another intelligence agency could be disastrous: years of work could be rendered useless. Our own agents could be exposed
- Chloe O'Brian: Jack needed it ok?
- Bill Buchanan: [Raises his voice] no, it's not ok
- Karen Hayes: [to Bill] and you expected us to give your agents a chance?
- Jack Bauer: Your intelligence agency denied our request for cooperation: so is your government
- Theo Stoller: I'm not surprised. Collette Stenger is a "golden goose", there's no upside in giving her up
- Jack Bauer: Maybe I could provide you with one?
- Theo Stoller: Meaning?
- Jack Bauer: I will give you something that's more valuable than Collette Stenger
- Theo Stoller: It's hard to know what that might be
- Jack Bauer: Our roster of all known terrorist suspects working around the world: our "wet list"
- Theo Stoller: As allies, we've requested this "wet list" many times before. The NSA has always said giving us the list would jeopardize operations
- Jack Bauer: It will. I don't work for NSA, I don't work for CTU. This is personal, right now you're not giving me another choice
- Theo Stoller: Alright, I'll give you Collette in exchange for the "wet list"
- Jack Bauer: [Before taking out his cell phone] good, let's see what we can do
- Theo Stoller: I'm aware of several names that should be on that list: don't try to pass me a fake
- Jack Bauer: [Over the phone] do we still have a backdoor to NSA's secure mainframe?
- Chloe O'Brian: I can't really talk right now
- Jack Bauer: Ok, fine. I need you to log onto their server, download the "wet list" and send it to my PDA immediately
- Chloe O'Brian: Why?
- Jack Bauer: The "wet list" is what we're going to have to pay to get Collette Stenger
- Chloe O'Brian: That list is as top secret as it gets: Homeland Security sent a team over here. You're going to have to clear it with them
- Jack Bauer: I can't afford the chance of them saying no
- Chloe O'Brian: I'm not saying I won't do it without their approval, I'm saying I can't. They took my keycard, I can't get into the NSA mainframe without it
- Jack Bauer: Just do what you have to. It's our only way to get to Bierko
- Chloe O'Brian: [Before hanging up] fine, I'll call you back
- Collette Stenger: [Talking privately] Theo had a price: what's yours?
- Jack Bauer: I'm not for sale
- Collette Stenger: Everyone is for sale
- Jack Bauer: This isn't a game, we're running out of time. You better tell me what you want
- Collette Stenger: Alright, full immunity, no hold backs signed by your President transmitted to lawyers in Zurich and Tripoli but I can't tell you where Bierko is
- Jack Bauer: Why not?
- Collette Stenger: Because his already gone, I met him at a safe house when he was already on his way to carry out the attack
- Jack Bauer: What were you selling him?
- Collette Stenger: I don't know
- Jack Bauer: What'd you mean you don't know?
- Collette Stenger: I mean I don't know: it was schematic
- Jack Bauer: What kind of schematic?
- Collette Stenger: I'm paid to broker the information, not to know all the details. I make it my firm policy
- Jack Bauer: You expect me to believe that you acquired information for a terrorist group and you didn't know the specifics?
- Collette Stenger: You can believe whatever you want. The fact is I got the schematics from a source and they were digitally encrypted, that source can tell you what they mean. Give me my immunity, and I'll give you my source. Those are my terms
- Jack Bauer: You haven't offered us very much, I'll see what I can do
- President Charles Logan: [to Hal quoting the news anchor on Logan's declaration of Martial Law] "Debate the legality of President's Logan's action: did you hear that? Their talking about this like it's an illegal action
- Vice President Hal Gardner: Don't worry Mr. President, I am in control of the situation. Our legal people are working on it right now
- President Charles Logan: [to Mike] do we have anything more from CTU?
- Mike Novick: They're still following up on this Bierko lead. As soon as they have something to report, we'll be the first to hear it
- Bill Buchanan: [Over the speakerphone in the Situation room] it's Bill, Karen Hayes is here as well. If you're with Theo Stoller, get some place you can talk privately
- Jack Bauer: [Over the speakerphone on his cell phone as Stoller listens] I can't, we're in the middle of an operation, if I move, and I'll jeopardize our position
- Karen Hayes: Then you'll have to have this conversation in front of him: have you given him the "wet list" yet?
- Jack Bauer: Yes
- Karen Hayes: Has he given it to German Intelligence?
- Jack Bauer: No
- Karen Hayes: [Before Jack and Theo draw their guns on each other] then get it back now
- Jack Bauer: I can't, if I do that Stoller won't cooperate, and then we'll lose Collette Stenger. Bill, would you explain this to her?
- Karen Hayes: It's not his decision: it's not his decision. Retrieve the "wet list" now or I will order Agent Manning and his team to do it
- Jack Bauer: Right now Collette Stenger is our only connection to Bierko, if you blow this operation, you will be responsible for every life lost in his next attack
- Karen Hayes: I don't like to be threatened
- Jack Bauer: That's not a threat, that's a fact
- Karen Hayes: German Intelligence will move preemptively in on people we have been watching for years: our ability to prevent terrorist attacks will be severely threatened
- Jack Bauer: And that's risk we'll have to take. Right now we have to deal with "this" situation
- Karen Hayes: It's not your call, it's not mine either. We need authorization from the President
- Jack Bauer: Then get it
- Jack Bauer: [after Curtis informs him Stenger is arriving at their location] we have a possible suspect approaching. Ms. Hayes, are you telling me I have to abort this operation? Yes or no? This is your call
- Karen Hayes: You don't know for certain this woman will lead us to Bierko
- Jack Bauer: No, not for certain. Right now she's our only lead, are you willing to take this chance?
- Karen Hayes: You left me no choice: proceed but you have severely compromised this situation and I promise you, there will be repercussions
- Jack Bauer: [Before hanging up] fine
