Quotes 

• Tim Woods : [Over the phone]  this is Tim Woods with Homeland Security

  Chloe O'Brian : Hold on, I'll put you through to Mr. Hastings

  Tim Woods : Uh, no I'm actually calling to speak with you

  Chloe O'Brian : Me? Are you sure?

  Tim Woods : I know this is an unusual circumstance, I'll get straight to the point: President Taylor and the foreign dignitaries are returning to the UN shortly with the intent to move forward with the signing of the peace agreement

  Chloe O'Brian : What? Excuse me, but how can she do that without President Hassan?

  Tim Woods : I'm not at liberty to say just "yet." Our immediate concern is whether CTU is capable of "handling" security for the rest of the process? It's already been infiltrated by an enemy agent, compromised more than once today: we cannot have any more mistakes

  Chloe O'Brian : [Nervously]  are you "suggesting" I'm responsible for those mistakes?

  Tim Woods : On the contrary, I reviewed the hourly reports and what I see is that you made some astute calls, you've proved to be very useful throughout this crisis

  Chloe O'Brian : Ok... so why are you calling me?

  Tim Woods : I'm relieving Brian Hastings of his post: effective immediately. We're not in the process of vetting suitable candidates to replace him but until we find someone, you'll have provisional command

  Chloe O'Brian : [Confused]  you're... putting me in charge?

  Tim Woods : For the time being, I know your record at CTU, started at LA branch, how important during the Sangala crisis, there's nobody in that building with more experience than you do

  Chloe O'Brian : [Sternly]  sir, you're making a mistake: what happened with President Hassan and everything else, it wasn't Mr. Hastings' fault

  Tim Woods : I don't have time debate this with you. Division feels you're the most qualified to step in and I agree. My decision's made now accept it and let's move on

  Chloe O'Brian : Does Mr. Hastings know?

  Tim Woods : Division's informing him as we speak. Just the transition as quick and painless as possible, I'll be in touch as soon as the President arrives at the UN

  Chloe O'Brian : [Before Woods hangs up]  yes sir

• Chloe O'Brian : [after she enters his office]  I just wanted to let you know I don't think it's fair what they're doing: laying all the blame on you

  Brian Hastings : Everything that happens here is my responsibility, the successes and failures. I recruited Dana Walsh here into this agency, I "let the snake into the garden." I need to review protocols with you. Let's not waste any time

• Chloe O'Brian : [after entering CTU Medical, referring to Samir going into cardiac arrest then flat lining]  what happened? I thought his injuries were "non-life threatening?"

  Cole Ortiz : So did I. Where the hell is Hastings?

  Chloe O'Brian : His been removed by Division

  Cole Ortiz : Who's in command?

  Chloe O'Brian : I am until they find a replacement. You were with Samir the whole time?

  Cole Ortiz : All the way from the scene: yeah

  Chloe O'Brian : What about "at" the scene?

  Cole Ortiz : He may have been out of my sight for a few minutes, emergency personnel were with him. Look, we've got to move his body to the morgue for an autopsy

  Chloe O'Brian : Not yet: order a preliminary toxicology panel

  Cole Ortiz : But they'll run a full panel at the autopsy

  Chloe O'Brian : [Sternly]  I want it done now

  Cole Ortiz : He was barely conscious, he couldn't have taken "something" to "off" himself

  Chloe O'Brian : No, but "somebody" could've given "it" to him

• Renee Walker : [Answering Jack's phone for him]  hello?

  Chloe O'Brian : I need to talk to Jack

  Renee Walker : What's wrong?

  Chloe O'Brian : Samir Mehran is dead. I think he was assassinated

  Renee Walker : What'd you mean assassinated?

  Chloe O'Brian : I ran a preliminary toxicology report: it showed "traces of an unidentified toxin in his blood stream". Someone must've injected into him, probably at the scene?

  Renee Walker : There was... an EMT there, he looked familiar. There was so much going on I didn't take much notice

  Chloe O'Brian : Familiar? From where?

  Renee Walker : I need you to get my FBI case files: get me everything you have on Red Square

  Chloe O'Brian : You think he was from the Russian mob?

  Renee Walker : He looked like somebody with Vladimir Laitanan when I was "under"

  Chloe O'Brian : That was six years ago, are you sure?

  Renee Walker : Honestly, no. Just send me the case files... all the surveillance photos that were taken and I'll see if he was in there
