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

Tony Almeida : [Over the phone] I've got Michelle and Buchanan here, I'll put you on speaker
Jack Bauer : Ok
Tony Almeida : You ok?
Jack Bauer : Yeah, I'm fine, I need you to pick up a phone matrix within a twenty mile radius on the dam
Tony Almeida : What're you thinking?
Jack Bauer : I managed to short circuit some phone lines in the building I was being held. If you can find two service obstructions at the same coordinates, we can get to Marwan
Tony Almeida : I'm opening an interface with the phone company now
Jack Bauer : We don't have a lot of time: Marwan was in the building but his not going to stay there for long
Tony Almeida : We have tactical teams ready to go. Once we get a location, I'll reposition them for assault
Jack Bauer : Ok, I know the layout, I'll run point
Tony Almeida : Copy that

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
-
Tony Almeida : Any word on Paul?
Audrey Raines : They still don't know yet
Tony Almeida : I thought you wanted to know: we decided to go ahead with the exchange, we're getting Behrooz right now
Audrey Raines : It's not going to be that "simple" is it?
Tony Almeida : These things are never "simple" but if Marwan really wants the kid, his got no reason to hurt Jack
Audrey Raines : And if he doesn't? And it's just a trap?
Tony Almeida : We'll be prepared. Our fields will have the area fully covered
Audrey Raines : Will you be there?
Tony Almeida : No, I'll be running point from here but Curtis will be on the ground
Audrey Raines : Is the operational objective to get Jack?
Audrey Raines : [after pausing] no, it isn't. We have to consider Jack expendable: this whole thing is about creating an exposure point for Marwan
Audrey Raines : I know, thank you for being straight with me
Tony Almeida : Look, Jack's about the only friend I have left. So I'm going to do everything I can to keep him safe alright?

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
