Carlos Bernard: Tony Almeida

Quotes 

• Tony Almeida : [Over the phone]  hey, it's me. The perimeter's set

  Michelle Dessler : Good, things are under control right now but a panic is still possible as more people start showing symptoms

  Tony Almeida : Yeah, we have to be ready for that since the incubation period of the virus is so much shorter than what we thought it was: how you doing?

  Michelle Dessler : I'm fine, so far. I just...

  Tony Almeida : What?

  Michelle Dessler : Things got crazy and I had to shoot a man. He was trying to get out of the hotel, his dead

  Tony Almeida : You did what you had to do. It was the only thing you could've done, you need to stay focused alright?

  Michelle Dessler : I know, I am

  Tony Almeida : There's something we need you to do. We need you to find out if Alvers ever saw the man that hired him, we need a description as detailed as possible

  Michelle Dessler : I'm on it. I'll call you right back

• Marcus Alvers : I'm bleeding

  Michelle Dessler : You don't look too bad so far

  Marcus Alvers : We had a deal. I told you what I know and you'd kill me when I start showing symptoms

  Michelle Dessler : You haven't told us everything you know

  Marcus Alvers : What're you talking about?

  Michelle Dessler : The man you work for: what's his name?

  Marcus Alvers : He never told me his name. I'm dying, I have nothing to gain by lying about it

  Michelle Dessler : When was the last time you saw him?

  Marcus Alvers : Three hours ago in a Go parlor in Chinatown

  Michelle Dessler : [Holding the phone for him with Tony on the line]  I want a description

  Marcus Alvers : Mid-thirties, Caucasian, about six one, black hair, brown eyes, and no facial hair. He speaks with a British accent

  Michelle Dessler : Got that?

  Tony Almeida : [to Michelle]  yeah we got it

  Tony Almeida : [to Chloe sitting next to him]  how long is this going to take?

  Chloe O'Brian : Once the parameters are in, not long. I just need to cross reference it with personnel Jack's worked with in the past

• Ryan Chappelle : You cleared those shared files with Division yet?

  Tony Almeida : No, I got it right here, I had to take care of something

  Ryan Chappelle : Yeah I know what you were doing: you were calling about Michelle

  Tony Almeida : She's my wife

  Ryan Chappelle : I understand that but we're shorthanded as it is, we can't afford...

  Tony Almeida : [Interrupts him, raises his voice]  I know how to do my job alright?

  Ryan Chappelle : Yes but you're not doing it. You have to move on

  Tony Almeida : Move on? What're you acting like she's already dead?

  Ryan Chappelle : Yes, I am and so should you. We're at war, I need your full attention. If you can't give it to me, go home or maintain a visual at the hotel but if you stay here, I need you to focus and the best way to do that is to assume the worst and make it about getting revenge. Now what's it going to be? Are you staying or not?

  Tony Almeida : What'd you need?

  Ryan Chappelle : I've been hunting for any bank accounts Amador may have used over the last few months on the computer we confiscated at the Go club, if I can find something, maybe we can follow the money trail back to Stephen Saunders

  Tony Almeida : Is it offshore or domestic?

  Ryan Chappelle : Both. If I find anything suspicious, I'll stream it to you to coordinate with Division

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  has CTU brought you up to speed on Stephen Saunders?

  Tony Almeida : Yeah, we got the file up now, there's no indication his still alive

  Jack Bauer : Trust me, he is. You're going to want to do a complete forensic protocol search

  Tony Almeida : It's being done as we speak

  Jack Bauer : You think London would have any additional data?

  Tony Almeida : On something like this? No, it's local

  Jack Bauer : Ok, one more thing: his going to want to deal with people he knows. People he trusts, see if you can do a quick search on his past contacts

• Michelle Dessler : [Over the phone]  Gael's dead. He was suffering so badly no one should have to go through what he did. There are children upstairs who are going to die in agony in front of their parents' eyes

  Tony Almeida : Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do for them right now

  Michelle Dessler : Actually there is. Field Ops has a supply of capsules

  Tony Almeida : Those capsules are for field agents that are captured

  Michelle Dessler : I know what they're for: they're for committing suicide to prevent torture and that's exactly what they'd be used for here. We can make them available to anyone who's symptomatic, it would be their choice

  Tony Almeida : You know I'm not authorized to do that

  Michelle Dessler : I'm not "interested" in what's authorized

  Tony Almeida : You're talking about mass suicide facilitated by an agency of the government

  Michelle Dessler : I'm talking about common decency, if you could've seen Gael. I'm calling because if it was me, if I'm infected, you'd know what I want. We don't have much time, Gael was the first to die because he was the first exposed but others won't be far behind

  Tony Almeida : I'll see what I can do

  Michelle Dessler : [Before hanging up]  thank you
