- Quotes
Brian Hastings: [Over the phone] I'm afraid I have bad news: despite our best efforts, the terrorists have got the nuclear rods into Manhattan
Ethan Kanin: [Over the speakerphone, sitting next to Taylor and Weiss] how good is your intelligence? Are you sure?
Brian Hastings: We are: in fact we had a visual on the suspects until a few minutes ago
Ethan Kanin: What happened?
Brian Hastings: We lost them: we're launching a multi agency search in the area we think they're in
President Allison Taylor: That you "think they're in?" Will you be able to find them or not?
Brian Hastings: We're doing everything in our power but right now I don't have an answer for you. I'm sorry to have to tell you this but I can no longer guarantee the safety of Manhattan
Rob Weiss: [Raises his voice to Hastings] how the hell could this happen? CTU had one priority: that this didn't happen. It's unacceptable
President Allison Taylor: Mr. Hastings, I want you to consider the entire resources of the government at your disposal. Whatever help you need, you'll get it, you must find those rods
Brian Hastings: I understand madam President
President Allison Taylor: We also need to prepare for "the worst". I want all branches and local law enforcement ready to respond to an "imminent" radiological attack
Brian Hastings: [Before hanging up] yes ma'am
