Quotes
-
Lynne Kresge : Wald's crew is planning to blow up CTU Los Angeles. It is a non radiological attack and it is happening within the hour
Eric Rayburn : Where'd you get this?
Lynne Kresge : Jack Bauer
Eric Rayburn : Their hitting CTU to cripple their investigation to divert their attention from the major strike
Lynne Kresge : I agree
Eric Rayburn : Has Bauer contacted CTU?
Lynne Kresge : He couldn't get through. Phone lines are down. Somehow we have to warn CTU
Eric Rayburn : No we don't. We can't
Lynne Kresge : What're you talking about?
Eric Rayburn : If Wald's crew fails, they'll think somebody tipped off CTU. They'll figure out it was Bauer
Lynne Kresge : Are you seriously suggesting we just let these people at CTU die? Jack Bauer called with specific instructions
Eric Rayburn : Why isn't he stopping them himself? Because he knows his got to keep his cover intact. He knows if his exposed, he can't get to Wald and we lose our only chance to find the nuke
Lynne Kresge : This is the President's decision
Eric Rayburn : Except right now his trying to convince the press it's "business as usual", we've already detained Ron Wieland illegally, we can't muzzle the entire press corps
Lynne Kresge : We still have to tell the President
Eric Rayburn : And we will. When his in a position to hear it
Lynne Kresge : It'll be too late by then
Eric Rayburn : This is my call
Lynne Kresge : I don't work for you

Eric Rayburn : [Over the phone] I understand your the ranking agent on site, is that correct?
Tony Almeida : Yes sir, it is
Eric Rayburn : Then I need you to execute an order
Tony Almeida : Of course
Eric Rayburn : I want you to copy and transfer your database onto our server: anything related to the nuclear threat. Did you hear me?
Tony Almeida : Yes sir I did, may I ask why?
Eric Rayburn : It's "precautionary." Given the extraordinary threat we're facing today. I would like it done sooner than later
Tony Almeida : How soon?
Eric Rayburn : By eleven
Tony Almeida : Sir, the soonest I can get it done is noon and that's shifting personnel
Eric Rayburn : You have until eleven
Tony Almeida : Sir, that may not be enough time
Eric Rayburn : Then you probably should get started
Tony Almeida : Thank you sir

Eric Rayburn : What're you doing?
Eric Rayburn : [Rushing to speak to the President] it was you wasn't it? You told Jenny to keep the President away from me
Eric Rayburn : I spared the President from a no win situation
Lynne Kresge : The people did not elect you to make that choice
Eric Rayburn : It's too late
Lynne Kresge : [Before trying to walk away while Eric stands in front of her and grabs her arm] maybe not. Get out of my way
Eric Rayburn : Don't do this: you do not want me as an enemy, I promise
Lynne Kresge : Are you threatening me?
Eric Rayburn : Just giving you some strong advice
President David Palmer : [Walking up to them] what's going on?
Lynne Kresge : [after Eric remains silent] Jack Bauer called. He said that Wald's crew is planning to blow up CTU. It's a non nuclear strike which suggests there's a secondary target
President David Palmer : When is this happening?
Lynne Kresge : We're not sure, Bauer got cut off
President David Palmer : Have you contacted CTU?
Eric Rayburn : That's what we were "debating"
President David Palmer : "Debating?"
Eric Rayburn : Right now Wald is our thread to finding the nuke but Bauer hasn't gotten to Wald yet. If we stop Wald's crew they may realize it was Bauer that turned them in. In the mean time, I'm having CTU transfer all their Intel so the only losses would be infrastructure and personnel
President David Palmer : Those losses are unacceptable
President David Palmer : [to Lynn] contact CTU immediately
Lynne Kresge : Yes Sir
