Quotes 

• President Allison Taylor : [after sitting down, to Jack, Bill, and Renee]  I want an explanation and I want it now: what the hell is going on?

  Jack Bauer : Madam President, six weeks ago Bill Buchanan discovered that key members of your government were working with General Juma and Colonel Dubaku in an effort to undermine this nation's foreign policy. Your foreign policy with regards to Sangala

  President Allison Taylor : You realize that is an outrageous accusation?

  Jack Bauer : Yes ma'am, unfortunately it's the truth. It explains that during this crisis, every effort you've made to stop Dubaku failed

  President Allison Taylor : Bill, why didn't you come to me?

  Bill Buchanan : I didn't know who I could trust or if you'd even believe me: so I formed a small group to locate and "neutralize" Dubaku. Tony Almeida and ultimately Jack joined me

  President Allison Taylor : Tony Almeida was the one who put the CIP device in Dubaku's hands in the first place

  Bill Buchanan : Using the CIP device as "bait" was necessary to the undercover operation, we had to follow it back to Dubaku

  President Allison Taylor : [Raises her voice]  a lot of people died on those planes: never mind what could've happened at the chemical plant in Kidron

  Renee Walker : Madam President, if I may, I was part of the FBI taskforce assigned to recover the CIP device, and I can personally "vouch" for what they're telling you. The loss of life was tragic yes but in my opinion "everything" these men have done saved the lives of thousands

  President Allison Taylor : If I "choose" to "believe" everything you're telling me, where would you go from here?

  Jack Bauer : Dubaku is the only person with the names of the people who betrayed you within your government, its imperative we find him. We would have to work "under the radar." Any word of an investigation, people will start running for cover

  Ethan Kanin : [to Jack]  you're saying we can't even involve the FBI or Homeland?

  Jack Bauer : Yes sir, that's correct

• Ethan Kanin : [to Taylor while in the Oval Office]  we can "appear" to comply with the first part of Dubaku's demand by pulling the fleet back: then we simply launch the invasion from further out at sea. Now the second part of his demand is more "complicated." If we were really turning Matobo over, we'd be putting him in a car ride right about now

  President Allison Taylor : That's out of the question, we need him saved

  Bill Buchanan : Agreed but we can send a car with a lookalike. If we handle it "right", Dubaku won't know the deception until last minute

  Ethan Kanin : By then, "hopefully", we will have found Henry. Madam President, do we have your authorization to proceed?

  President Allison Taylor : [after thinking it over, before Bill and Ethan leave]  yes

• Ethan Kanin : [after she addresses the nation]  Matobo's arrived: he and the others have been brought in secretly through the underground entrance by agents I personally know and trust

  President Allison Taylor : Matobo told me these people bringing him in are responsible for saving his life and recovering the CIP device. Who are they?

  Ethan Kanin : Bill Buchanan whom I believe you've met when he headed up CTU LA, an FBI Agent named Renee Walker, and Jack Bauer

  President Allison Taylor : Bauer? He was one of Matobo's kidnappers, it doesn't make sense

  Ethan Kanin : I know

  President Allison Taylor : Matobo asked me to "listen" to what they have to say and I'm willing to do so: send them in
