Quotes 

• Brian Hastings : [Over the speakerphone]  what've you got?

  Jack Bauer : It looks like our suspect might be able to get the detonator working before we get to him: we'll fill you on the details but right now I need to know everything you've got on him

  Chloe O'Brian : I'm just pulling up the information now it took me a while to get it from Hassan's intelligence people

  Jack Bauer : Just give me the overview

  Chloe O'Brian : Ok, Marcos Al-Zacar was born here raised in East Harlem, mother's American, father was from the IRK, that's where Al-Zacar got his politics from. His father was a professor known to be highly critical of American foreign policies: suspected of connections with extremists, he was imprisoned under Wayne Palmer's Administration for four months. Although the charges were eventually dropped, he was "un-hirable" after that. Almost a year later, he committed suicide

  Brian Hastings : That's probably what "triggered" Al-Zacar. He started spying on America for the IRK two months after that

  Jack Bauer : What about the mother?

  Arlo Glass : Checking current records, according to motor vehicle and utility records, she's still in East Harlem. 42-11 East 117 St.

  Jack Bauer : Find her and get her here as soon as possible

• Dana Walsh : [after entering his office]  sir, Cole just checked in, his got Al-Zacar's mother and in route to St. Julian Hospital

  Brian Hastings : What's his ETA?

  Dana Walsh : Less than ten minutes

  Brian Hastings : Alright then, thank you

  Dana Walsh : Sir, I would like to apologize again for leaving my post, I know that I let you down

  Brian Hastings : Yes you did. I brought you in and gave you this promotion because I saw "something" in you: not just your skill, which is "considerable" but an ability to adapt to any "situation", drive to be better: attributes that make you a good leader or did I "misread" that?

  Dana Walsh : No sir

  Brian Hastings : So we can "chalk up" the last several hours to a "serious lapse in judgment"?

  Dana Walsh : What...

  Brian Hastings : [Interrupts her]  look, I don't want to lose you or Cole: your both valuable but everyone is "replaceable"

  Dana Walsh : I screwed up and I'm willing to accept the consequences, I know Cole feels the same way
