Quotes
-
Tony Almeida : The report says Dina's been dead for less than thirty minutes: we can only assume that's when Marwan grabbed Jack
Michelle Dessler : [sighs] what's the search range on Jack and Marwan?
Tony Almeida : Fifteen hundred square miles but it's increasing by the minute
Michelle Dessler : What about chatter?
Tony Almeida : I've filtered through everything that came from Langley, NSA, and Interpol. None of it is correlating right now
Michelle Dessler : Volume?
Tony Almeida : It's actually slowing down which may mean we've incurred all the damage we will today
Michelle Dessler : Or it could be the "calm before the storm?"
Tony Almeida : Yeah, the one thing we know for sure if Jack's alive, he'll find a way to contact us
Michelle Dessler : We'll just have to wait until we pick up thread on Marwan
Tony Almeida : Yeah
Michelle Dessler : So, I heard Jack called you earlier today?
Tony Almeida : Yeah
Michelle Dessler : And that you saved his life?
Tony Almeida : We both know I owed him one right?
Tony Almeida : [Intentionally changing the subject] Audrey's been waiting for her husband to get out of surgery, I think we should tell her about Jack
Michelle Dessler : Why?
Tony Almeida : Their involved
Michelle Dessler : She's married
Tony Almeida : Separated
Michelle Dessler : I prefer not to tell her anything
Tony Almeida : Why?
Michelle Dessler : Because we may have to make a very tough call on how Jack's capture plays out
Tony Almeida : She's a professional, she knows it may be a possibility, I think it'd be wrong to keep it from her
Michelle Dessler : I don't want her interfering
Tony Almeida : I think she has a right to know, but hey, you're the boss: it's your call

Michelle Dessler : [Updating CTU staff] listen up, Jack Bauer is missing, there's a good chance his being held by our primary target: Habib Marwan because we believe Marwan is preparing for another domestic terror attack today. We need to pull all of our resources to find him. All COMM teams coordinate with Edgar thank you
-
Habib Marwan : [Over the phone] I'm going to give you final instructions now: make sure you follow them implicitly, are you ready?
Michelle Dessler : Go ahead
Habib Marwan : How are you transporting Behrooz?
Michelle Dessler : In one of our tactical vehicles
Habib Marwan : Good, now approach by the Frontage Road, pull up at the back gate of the dam, have Behrooz get out by himself, and walk toward the gate. The van will be there to pick him up
Michelle Dessler : What about Jack Bauer?
Habib Marwan : He'll be in the van
Michelle Dessler : [after Bill shakes his head to her] that doesn't work for me. I want to see Jack before I give up Behrooz
Habib Marwan : That's acceptable
Michelle Dessler : And I want him unharmed
Habib Marwan : The boy scout is just fine. Remember, Behrooz gets out by himself. If any of your agents interfere, Bauer dies
Michelle Dessler : Understood
Habib Marwan : Don't be late
Michelle Dessler : Our vehicle is five minutes away
Habib Marwan : [Before hanging up] I'll see you in five minutes
-
Michelle Dessler : [Over the phone with Edgar trying to trace the call and Curtis listening in] this is Michelle Dessler: Director of CTU, to whom am I speaking to?
Habib Marwan : This is Habib Marwan, Jack Bauer is alive and in my custody
Michelle Dessler : I'll need to speak to him
Habib Marwan : I'll return him to you unharmed in exchange for Behrooz Araz. I will give you ten minutes to secure clearances with your people
Michelle Dessler : I need more time before I can agree to that
Habib Marwan : Ten minutes, I will call you then with exact details on how the exchange is to proceed
Michelle Dessler : [after Marwan hangs up, to Edgar] did you get a trace?
Edgar Stiles : No
Michelle Dessler : Alright, confirm Marwan's identity off voice and process Behrooz Araz, we may need to move him
Edgar Stiles : Got it
Curtis Manning : Why is Behrooz Araz worth trading for Jack?
Michelle Dessler : [Before walking away] I don't know: have all tactical teams meet me in the situation room
-
Michelle Dessler : How are you going to handle this?
Curtis Manning : The kid thinks his mother made a deal to protect him: first I have to do is let him think that deal is off
Michelle Dessler : No, we can't use the psychological approach, it's too slow
Curtis Manning : What're you suggesting?
Michelle Dessler : I think his just going to "drag his feet" unless we put some physical pressure on him
Curtis Manning : His just a scared kid, I'm pretty sure his given us everything he knows
Michelle Dessler : You're pretty sure?
Curtis Manning : I'll call Richards
-
Tony Almeida : [after Audrey walks up to them] how's Paul doing?
Audrey Raines : His still in surgery, I won't know until he gets out
Tony Almeida : [to Tony] have you heard anything from Jack?
Michelle Dessler : [Answers for Tony] Jack is missing
Audrey Raines : Missing?
Michelle Dessler : We think he was taken by Habib Marwan
Audrey Raines : My God: what're we doing to get him back?
Michelle Dessler : Everything we can
Audrey Raines : How did this happen? I thought we were tracking him? He was suppose to be protected
Michelle Dessler : No one is "fully" protected in the field
Audrey Raines : Who is in charge of this operation?
Michelle Dessler : I was
Audrey Raines : Get him back Michelle

Michelle Dessler : [Before receiving a call from Marwan] everyone on this: this is Dessler
Habib Marwan : [Referring to the time and location for them to make the exchange of Jack for Behrooz] Union Conduit Dam, north entrance, thirty minutes
Michelle Dessler : I need to know Jack Bauer is still alive
Habib Marwan : Very well
Habib Marwan : [to Jack, while holding the receiver to his mouth] Michelle Dessler wants to know you're still alive
Jack Bauer : I'm being held in an abandoned warehouse somewhere downtown
Habib Marwan : [to Michelle] satisfied?
Michelle Dessler : I don't know if I can make this happen in thirty minutes
Habib Marwan : [Before hanging up] you'll find a way
-
Michelle Dessler : [Briefing CTU staff] Marwan wants to exchange Jack Bauer for Behrooz Araz, the obvious question is, why?
Tony Almeida : The way I see it there are two possibilities: one, there's a personal connection. Two, Behrooz has information that can damage Marwan
Michelle Dessler : I agree, Edgar, have your team sift through everything on Behrooz Araz. go back as far as you can, see if there's a family link between him and Marwan
Michelle Dessler : [to Tony] did the initial interrogation reveal Behrooz knew anything might make him valuable to Marwan?
Tony Almeida : No but the main focus was on the mother: we really didn't push him very hard
Michelle Dessler : [to Curtis] push harder, see what you can find but do it now, my guess is Marwan will want to make this exchange within the hour. Tony, monitor him from the observation room. Chloe, what'd we have on audio?
Chloe O'Brian : I was able to get some voice memos from McLennan-Forrester through voice print match: it was Marwan's
-
Tony Almeida : [During a briefing meeting] alright everyone listen up, this is Bill Buchanan from Division: he'll be overseeing the operation. All department heads run everything through him
Bill Buchanan : In less than half an hour Habib Marwan wants to make an exchange at the Union Conduit Damn. Behrooz Araz for Jack Bauer now before we decide to move "forward", I need to know a few things: why does Marwan want the boy? What's his value?
Tony Almeida : We were unable to find any evidence that Behrooz had any critical information
Bill Buchanan : Did you push him?
Tony Almeida : Yeah, I don't think the kid knows anything
Bill Buchanan : Who's doing background?
Chloe O'Brian : Me, there's nothing specifically that ties these two people together. The parents? Yes, Behrooz? No
Bill Buchanan : Could Behrooz have "something" implanted in his body? "Something" neither he nor his parents knew about?
Tony Almeida : No, we had him scanned when he was brought in
Bill Buchanan : Did you do an MRI?
Tony Almeida : Yeah
Bill Buchanan : I don't like giving up something unless I know its value: let's talk about what happens if we don't agree to the exchange?
Chloe O'Brian : We don't get Jack Bauer back for one thing
Bill Buchanan : That can't be the deciding factor here
Michelle Dessler : Well, most importantly if we don't go through with this exchange, we may lose an opportunity to trap Marwan
Bill Buchanan : Marwan has to know what we're thinking, the chances of him being at the exchange are small
Michelle Dessler : I agree but we could put a tracer on Behrooz, he might lead us to Marwan
Bill Buchanan : We tried to trace Jack and Dina Araz an hour ago, they grabbed Jack and killed Dina
Edgar Stiles : We'll take a different approach: use tracers, two of them. One for Marwan to find, the other one subcutaneous
Bill Buchanan : There's no guarantee he'll find that one too
Michelle Dessler : No, sir, there are no guarantees period. The fact is we have no viable leads on Marwan, we have to run with every chance we get
Bill Buchanan : Have tactical finish up the profiles in five minutes, let's get field teams on their way to the dam now
