Quotes 

• President John Keeler : [Through video conference]  I understand we've been able to shut down ninety eight nuclear power plants?

  James Heller : Yes Sir but as of now it appears that our shutdown order will not be effective with the six remaining reactors

  President John Keeler : "Not going to be effective"? What exactly does that mean?

  James Heller : I'm afraid it means that we could have six nuclear disasters on our hands

  President John Keeler : What are the casualty projections if all six plants meltdown?

  Curtis Manning : Four hundred fifty four thousand deaths in the first twenty four hours: long range estimates are in the lone millions and that's not taking into account the resulting cancers and birth defects

  President John Keeler : Why were we able to shut down the other power plants and not these remaining six?

  Erin Driscoll : Because their still being controlled by the terrorists Sir

  President John Keeler : You mean because of the Override device they stole today?

  Erin Driscoll : Exactly: we have to find the Override device itself. It's a prototype and the terrorists have the only one in the world

  President John Keeler : Alright, then let's find it. I'm going to give the order of evacuation of those six cities. Jim, keep me posted

  James Heller : Yes. Mr. President

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  don't let anyone know you're talking to me: we've got a problem

  James Heller : [Following Jack's instructions, pretending to be talking to someone else]  I understand Marcy, let me see what I can do. What's going on?

  Jack Bauer : First of all I want you to know Audrey and I are safe, there was an attempt on our lives at Fell Stead Security

  James Heller : What?

  Jack Bauer : A group of assassins, well armed, well trained, took out our entire security detail. You're going to need to send a forensic unit there to identify the bodies. But I don't want anyone at CTU to know

  James Heller : Why not?

  Jack Bauer : Because I think someone at CTU is complicit in the attack

  James Heller : How do you know that?

  Jack Bauer : Sir, CTU is the only agency that knew where we were. No one else had that information

  James Heller : Is one of Erin's people working with the terrorists?

  Jack Bauer : Yes, I think so. I just don't know who but it's clear that they didn't want Audrey to make the ID of the man she saw when you were both being held

  James Heller : I'm sending a Secret Service detail to pick you two up

  Jack Bauer : Sir, please don't do that, that's not the right thing to do here

  James Heller : Why not?

  Jack Bauer : I don't want anyone to know where we are. That way we'll be safe

  James Heller : How do you want me to handle this?

  Jack Bauer : You remember the sequence we developed for the Melbourne situation?

  James Heller : Yes

  Jack Bauer : Try that, I think that'll work

  James Heller : Ok

  Jack Bauer : Sir, I've got to go. I'll get back to you as soon as we're safe

  James Heller : [Sternly]  take care of Audrey

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  yes sir I will

• Scott Borman : [Talking privately]  is there a problem sir?

  James Heller : A big problem: someone inside CTU is leaking information to someone on the outside

  Scott Borman : What do you need me to do?

  James Heller : I need you to go to Erin Driscoll. Tell her Jack Bauer is no longer at Fell Stead Security and his watching surveillance videos at the old CTU substation in Torrance

  Scott Borman : Anything about when Jack will call in?

  James Heller : When they identify the man that Audrey saw

  Scott Borman : I take it Jack and Audrey are nowhere near the CTU substation?

  James Heller : Right, we're trying to "flush" out the mole

  Scott Borman : Then you'll need me to put in a DOD COMM SAT out loop around this place?

  James Heller : If anyone sends out a communication containing the information you plant, that's the spy

  Scott Borman : Yes sir

  James Heller : Let's go

• James Heller : [after entering her office]  I'm sorry to report, there's been a breach in CTU

  Erin Driscoll : What?

  James Heller : The information Scott gave you about Jack is false

  Erin Driscoll : What'd you mean false?

  James Heller : Jack and Audrey were ambushed at Fell Stead Security: they survived the attack but it's clear someone in this office gave them up

  Erin Driscoll : With all due respect sir, you knew about this and didn't tell me?

  James Heller : Being left out of the loop is not something you should be concerned about

  Erin Driscoll : I assume you're telling me now your sting operation yielded a result?

  James Heller : [Before throwing a file folder on her desk]  yes it did: read that

  Erin Driscoll : Where is she?

  James Heller : [while they leave her office]  she's about to be taken into custody, join me
