- Jack Bauer: You don't have any more useful information, do you, Nina?
- Nina Myers: [weakly] Y-yes I do.
- [reaches for gun]
- Jack Bauer: No, you don't.
- [shoots Nina three more times]
- Tony Almeida: [Asking about Marcus Alvers] All we've been able to dig up on him are a few random medical records under one of his known aliases. He had an MRI on one of his knees, there's a prescription for antibiotics, treated for HIV...
- Dalton Furrelle: [From other room] Her pulse is spiking. Someone hasn't been using protection with Marcus Alvers.
- Michelle Dessler: [From other room] She's probably had sex with him.
- Tony Almeida: See, Nina, my colleagues in the next room tell me that something in those medical records concerns you. I'm guessing it's not the knee.
- Tony Almeida: [During torture] How much more of this do you wanna endure, Nina?
- Nina Myers: I think this is about it.
- [Nina jerks her head backward, causing the needle to plunge into her neck]
- Chase Edmunds: [about Kim finding out about his daughter] How did she take it?
- Chloe O'Brian: Well, gosh Chase, I think she's kinda pissed.
- Ryan Chappelle: Here's the situation: we believe Michael Amador is in possession of the Cordilla virus, we believe he is either headed towards Los Angeles or is here already. We estimate he has enough of the pathogen to take out a major metropolitan area, our only lead is Nina Meyers who is being brought back to CTU right now. She thinks Amador is meeting with a man in Los Angeles named Marcus Alvers. Adam's done the work up on him
- Adam Kaufman: We have some background but there's nothing that places him definitively in Los Angeles today
- Ryan Chappelle: That's it? What about Interpol? What do they have on Alvers?
- Adam Kaufman: Our data tracking is a little behind, so we weren't able to access that report
- Ryan Chappelle: Why are we behind?
- Tony Almeida: We haven't updated the European contact logs when I was down
- Ryan Chappelle: Michelle, you were the ranking agent
- Michelle Dessler: I didn't think Europe was a priority
- Tony Almeida: Obviously it was
- Michelle Dessler: There was a lot going on at the time
- Ryan Chappelle: Alright. Let's get back to work, and let's try to ease up on the mistakes tonight because there are millions of lives depending on us
- Wayne Palmer: I just got off the phone with CTU
- President David Palmer: What's the status on the virus?
- Wayne Palmer: It's not good: the limited intelligence they have supports their original suspicion
- President David Palmer: It's on its way to Los Angeles?
- Wayne Palmer: It might already be here
- President David Palmer: Then we should be prepared in case they target other cities
- Wayne Palmer: Our people in the security envelop have been alerted. Trust me, it's being handled, why don't you get some rest? I'm on this
- President David Palmer: Start waking people up. Set up a conference call with the appropriate Cabinet members, Homeland Security, FBI, and National Health Services. We're going to need everyone on this one
- Wayne Palmer: [Before leaving the room while Sherry enters] yes Sir
- President David Palmer: I asked you here to help me: not make things worse. I did not want you going to Alan Milliken's house
- Sherry Palmer: Relax, I didn't go there
- President David Palmer: You didn't go?
- Sherry Palmer: No
- President David Palmer: [Leans forward on his desk] when we spoke on the phone, you told me it was crucial you speak to Julia in person
- Sherry Palmer: Yes, and I changed my mind. I spoke to her over the phone
- President David Palmer: About what?
- Sherry Palmer: About Kelly's disappearance, I asked her if she would check Alan's cell phone and see if there were any recently made calls
- President David Palmer: And?
- Sherry Palmer: [Shrugs] she wouldn't do it
- President David Palmer: You don't take no for an answer, what aren't you telling me?
- Sherry Palmer: Nothing, I swear
- President David Palmer: What've you been up to since we last talked if you weren't at Milliken's?
- Sherry Palmer: Making calls
- President David Palmer: You could've made them from here
- Sherry Palmer: Yes but I didn't. I parked on the side of the road, I started making calls because I didn't want to wait. I told you we have a small window of opportunity here, I wanted to exploit the fact that Milliken may not have had time to cover his tracks when he had someone grab Kelly
- President David Palmer: Alright, I have other things to attend to
- Sherry Palmer: Ok, is there anything else?
- President David Palmer: That's it
- Jack Bauer: Look, I have to debrief Chappelle. I'll see you in a minute ok?
- Kim Bauer: I know about your drug problem: why didn't you come to me with this?
- Jack Bauer: [while hugging] I'm sorry baby. I was embarrassed and it wasn't your problem and it still isn't. I didn't want you to worry
- Kim Bauer: Well, is it over?
- Jack Bauer: No, not exactly. I think I'm going to have to go into a program and get some help
- Kim Bauer: Ok
- Jack Bauer: Chappelle wants me to go to the clinic and get checked out, we'll talk about this later ok?
- Kim Bauer: Ok
- Jack Bauer: Don't worry
- Jack Bauer: How's the hand?
- Chase Edmunds: Its fine. How'd Chappelle find out?
- Jack Bauer: I don't know: it doesn't really matter. What's going on out there?
- Chase Edmunds: Almeida's going to be interrogating Nina and I'll follow it from the feed
- Jack Bauer: Ok good, make sure Tony puts double security on the doors and get back to me as soon as she gives you anything
- Chase Edmunds: Your about to find out something about me and it's not going to make you happy
- Jack Bauer: What're you talking about?
- Chase Edmunds: I've got a daughter
- Jack Bauer: A daughter?
- Chase Edmunds: She sprung up on me a month ago. Her mother dropped her off and split. It's a long story
- Jack Bauer: Does Kim know about this?
- Chase Edmunds: Yeah
- Jack Bauer: From you?
- Chase Edmunds: I haven't had a chance to talk to her myself yet
- Jack Bauer: You square this with her, you understand me? Just make it right. And get back to me as soon as Nina gives you anything
- Michelle Dessler: Are we up yet?
- Dalton Furrelle: Yeah, video's piped in: voice analysis, vitals, and transcription: we're all set
- Dalton Furrelle: [Referring to interrogating Nina] so, Tony's doing this?
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah
- Dalton Furrelle: Is that going to be weird for you?
- Michelle Dessler: What'd you mean?
- Dalton Furrelle: Didn't he and Nina go out?
- Tony Almeida: We set?
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah
- Tony Almeida: Alright, I want you to do a "high res" on her eyes. She's tired, we might be able to pick up a tell
- Michelle Dessler: Ok
- Tony Almeida: So, are we alright?
- Michelle Dessler: Yeah, we're fine
- Nina Myers: [while in the interrogation room] I didn't know I was going to see you today
- Tony Almeida: You know what we want: we need to find Michael Amador before he unloads the virus
- Nina Myers: I've already told Jack everything I know
- Tony Almeida: [Nods] I want you to tell me
- Nina Myers: [Referring to she was in a personal relationship with both of them] first Jack, now you. What does that remind me of?
- Tony Almeida: You told Jack that Amador might contact a Marcus Alvers? So where do we look for Alvers?
- Nina Myers: [Noticing his wedding ring] it's a nice ring, who's the lucky girl? I hope you did a background check though because you don't want to make the same mistake twice
- Tony Almeida: You're going back to prison. There's a good chance you'll be executed as a traitor, now if you cooperate you may be able to save your own life but you're stalling which means you know something and you think there's a play you can make. Only now's not the right time
- Nina Myers: Very insightful, I hope your wife appreciates that about you
- Tony Almeida: Why don't you tell me about Alvers?
- Nina Myers: All I know is that he works only with Amador. I don't know him personally
- Chase Edmunds: I know we haven't had a chance to talk since I got back
- Kim Bauer: No, we haven't
- Chase Edmunds: I know what you're thinking: you need to give me a chance to explain
- Kim Bauer: I don't know what to think. Look, I'm happy your ok but you have a baby, we've been together for three months and you kept this secret from me, who's the mother? Where does she fit into this?
- Chase Edmunds: That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I didn't know until a month ago
- Kim Bauer: How could you not know?
- Chase Edmunds: Angela's mother and I went out last year. It's over and when it ended, she never told me she was pregnant. Now she calls a month ago and tells me she has a baby and that I'm the father and she's in trouble and can't handle it. I was afraid if you found out, it was going to mess us up
- Kim Bauer: But you told Chloe?
- Chase Edmunds: Chloe and my sister have been helping me take care of her. She's a good friend, I'm just as confused as you but all I know is that I love you and I'm falling in love with you and I need to make this work
- Jack Bauer: What's happening with the Nina interrogation?
- Ryan Chappelle: Their getting "something"
- Jack Bauer: What?
- Ryan Chappelle: The connection between Alvers and Nina might be deeper than we thought
- Jack Bauer: You better hope she's not just "spinning your wheel" because she knows how to manipulate our interrogation protocols
- Ryan Chappelle: Tony knows what his doing
- Jack Bauer: Ok fine. I need to get together with Chloe, I need everything she's got on the Amador investigation
- Ryan Chappelle: Not yet
- Jack Bauer: You're wasting my time: I humored you with a physical and we both know my blood work will come back with trace amounts of opiates but enough is enough
- Ryan Chappelle: Rae Plachecki is here from the Inspector's General's office, she wants to talk to you
- Jack Bauer: This is not the time
- Ryan Chappelle: Actually it is. You'll talk to her and we'll evaluate if you can go back to work or not
- Ryan Chappelle: [Introducing them to each other] Rae Plachecki, this is Jack Bauer
- Rae Plachecki: Ok you know the drill Jack. I'm going to ask you some questions and I want you to know I'm on your side: we just want to establish if this heroin addiction was a "necessary" part of your cover
- Jack Bauer: It was "necessary" to maintain my cover, are we done now?
- Ryan Chappelle: Sit down Jack
- Rae Plachecki: [Recording their session] this is Rae Plachecki, the time is 2:31am. This is the interrogation of Jack Bauer, Director of field Ops CTU, and Ryan Chappelle is present. Jack, tell us how you established your cover with Ramon Salazar?
- Jack Bauer: I first came in contact with the Salazar's approximately two years ago, they were an up and coming narcotic cartel from Mexico
- Tony Almeida: [Interrogating Nina while Michelle and Dalton monitoring] so, when did you meet Amador?
- Tony Almeida: [after she remains silent] did you know him when you were working at CTU?
- Tony Almeida: Tell me something: what kind of deal you think you're going to cut? You betrayed everyone you know, including me. You murdered Jack's wife, you helped terrorists smuggle a nuclear bomb into this country. You're helping to unleash a deadly virus into the general population. Help me understand this, what'd you want? What is it you get from being a mass murderer?
- Nina Myers: [Noticing the bandage covering the bullet wound he sustained early today] your neck is bleeding
- Tony Almeida: Dalton, what'd you got?
- Dalton Furrelle: So far the only reactions from her are subliminal: she's not going to say anything, we need to be plugged into her vitals. We can take it down to seven, give her a passive response test
- Tony Almeida: Seven's not secure enough, she stays here. Where's Richards?
- Michelle Dessler: His waiting
- Tony Almeida: Alright, let's bring him in
- Rae Plachecki: Something not connecting up for me Jack, you say you weren't in with the Salazar's until early February, but the first time you started using was late December? That's six weeks shooting up for the benefit of no one, am I missing something?
- Jack Bauer: I was trying to pass myself as a junkie, I wanted to be "prepared"
- Rae Plachecki: What'd you mean "prepared"?
- Jack Bauer: The Salazar's live their entire lives in the drug world, if I couldn't handle the narcotics that went with that territory, they would've known I was a cop and would've killed me. I needed to be able to handle it
- Rae Plachecki: That makes sense but in January, even when you were putting needles in your arm, you didn't have a meeting in the books with these guys. It could've been a year for all you knew
- Jack Bauer: What're you saying?
- Jack Bauer: I'm trying to establish incontrovertible evidence that you did drugs as part of your cover. If I submit what you just told me it's not going to hold up
- Jack Bauer: [Yelling] what'd you want me to say? I did drugs to get in with these people and I got in with them. No matter how difficult it's been, I don't use anymore
- Rae Plachecki: I'll write it up that way, maybe it'll "fly" but I just think you're going to have a problem because you never told anyone not even your partner, that's suspicious
- Jack Bauer: You know my history, I've had a very difficult time since my wife passed away. If I told anyone I was doing drugs to develop a case, they would've misinterpreted it. I couldn't afford that risk
- Rae Plachecki: Well, that's what they're going to do now
- Ryan Chappelle: [after turning off the recording, to Rae] let's put down Jack started using heroin in late January, after the first meeting with the Salazar's was established
- Jack Bauer: I appreciate what you're trying to do Ryan but that's not what happened
- Ryan Chappelle: I'm just trying to save us all some paperwork
- Rae Plachecki: I'm ok with that
- Jack Bauer: I'm not. I started using in December, I've got nothing to hide. This office demands results, that's what I provide: results
- Wayne Palmer: Secret Service just received a phone call from the West Los Angeles Police Department: Alan Milliken is dead
- President David Palmer: What?
- Wayne Palmer: He was found fifteen minutes ago in his home. All signs point to a heart attack
- President David Palmer: It isn't possible
- Wayne Palmer: Well, "apparently", it is. You told me Sherry was on her way over there an hour ago?
- President David Palmer: She changed her mind, made some phone calls from her car, and came straight back here
- Wayne Palmer: Is that what she told you?
- President David Palmer: Yeah
- Wayne Palmer: And where is she now?
- President David Palmer: Resting
- President David Palmer: [During a briefing] five hours ago I went public with a statement that there was a domestic terror threat: but it had passed and now it appears that was premature. Ladies and gentlemen, do we or do we not have a threat of this virus being released?
- Brad Hammond: Sir, I'm afraid we can't answer that with any kind of certainty
- President David Palmer: What can you tell me Mr. Hammond?
- Brad Hammond: What few leads we have indicate Michael Amador has the virus and is in Los Angeles. For what purpose, we can't say
- President David Palmer: Then we have to prepare for defensive action here in Los Angeles and for that matter, for all of our major cities
- Joseph O'Laughlin: [Through video conference] Mr. President, you know our position here at Homeland Security. We think being forth right with the public and making such preparations in the open is the correct course
- President David Palmer: Again, we have to access the downside of that course
- Joseph O'Laughlin: I have no problem with that Mr. President as long as we realize we're working against the clock
- President David Palmer: I want all departments present to work up an open versus containment strategy and report back to me in thirty minutes. In the meantime, I want Health Services to issue "guidelines" but only to be distributed internally, that is all. I'll be in my office
- Sherry Palmer: What's wrong?
- President David Palmer: Alan Milliken is dead
- Sherry Palmer: What? How?
- President David Palmer: Why don't you tell me?
- Sherry Palmer: What'd you mean? I told you I didn't go there
- President David Palmer: I know what you told me: you sat in your car, made some phone calls, and came straight here
- Sherry Palmer: Yes, and that's the truth
- President David Palmer: And you won't mind if the police check your cell phone and the car you used tonight?
- Sherry Palmer: You know, you asked me to take care of a problem and I did. If you want the police to check phone logs, then have them check yours first because you called me tonight remember? I am here because of you
- President David Palmer: [Walking up to her] what happened?
- Sherry Palmer: I went over to the house just to speak to Julia. Alan interrupted us, there was an argument, and he had a heart attack
- President David Palmer: Explain to me if there's an investigation, you're going to have to tell the truth about this
- Sherry Palmer: The truth isn't going to save either one of us. All their going to hear is that I was there on your behalf to prevent Alan from meddling with your Presidency and that he died from "natural causes." How do you think that's going to play out in the New York Times? For the next six months?
- President David Palmer: What did you do to Alan?
- Sherry Palmer: Honestly, nothing. Absolutely nothing
- Jack Bauer: [Continuing his interview session] look, I don't know why we have to go through this again. I already answered that
- Ryan Chappelle: [after knocking on the door] what is it Edmunds?
- Chase Edmunds: I just want to give you an update on Nina
- Ryan Chappelle: [to Rae, referring to the video recording] could you pause it?
- Jack Bauer: She gives us anything to run on Alvers?
- Chase Edmunds: No, there's a low probability she knew him personally: she's not cooperating
- Jack Bauer: What're we doing?
- Chase Edmunds: Richards is working on her now
- Jack Bauer: [to Ryan] I think that's a mistake
- Ryan Chappelle: Why?
- Jack Bauer: I don't think anyone should be in there with her that hasn't worked with her before. She'll manipulate him
- Ryan Chappelle: All Richards does is inflict pain, there's no way for her to manipulate him
- Wayne Palmer: So, what did Sherry have to say?
- President David Palmer: That Alan had a heart attack
- Wayne Palmer: And you believe her?
- President David Palmer: I'd be a fool to believe anything Sherry says to save herself: murder. I can't imagine she'd do that
- Wayne Palmer: We can't allow ourselves to be caught off guard this time, now we have to assume the worst
- President David Palmer: We also have to assume Julia was somehow involved
- Wayne Palmer: What? Listen, I'm sorry but Julia isn't the same kind of person Sherry is
- President David Palmer: When we find out all the facts, we'll proceed from there
- Wayne Palmer: I have to go over the morning brief with Gerry
- Wayne Palmer: [Over the phone] it's me. I just heard about Alan tonight: are you alone?
- Julia Milliken: The police are here, I was just going to speak to one of the officers
- Wayne Palmer: Alright, tell me what happened?
- Julia Milliken: When Sherry was here, when it happened, she told me not to tell the police
- Wayne Palmer: I need you to tell me exactly what happened alright?
- Julia Milliken: We were talking with Alan, he got excited, and then he started to gasp for air
- Wayne Palmer: So you called 911 right?
- Julia Milliken: No, I tried to give him his medication
- Wayne Palmer: What'd you mean you "tried"?
- Julia Milliken: Sherry stopped me. I went to help Alan, she grabbed my arm. I just stood there, I killed him
- Wayne Palmer: [Gently shushing her] listen to me very carefully alright? Call Alan's lawyer and do not say anything to anyone until he gets there, do you understand me?
- Julia Milliken: Could you come down here and please help me?
- Wayne Palmer: No, please don't call me. I will help you but for now I have to keep my distance, I'm sorry
