Quotes
-
President John Keeler : [Over the phone] explain to me how this "mole" Marianne Taylor was able to infiltrate CTU?
Erin Driscoll : We're still investigating Mr. President
President John Keeler : Who did she work for?
Erin Driscoll : We don't know
President John Keeler : Find out
Erin Driscoll : We will as soon as she regains consciousness: she's being treated here in the clinic
President John Keeler : Treated for what?
Erin Driscoll : An attempt on her life
President John Keeler : Who tried to kill her?
Erin Driscoll : We don't know that either but whoever it was, their more than likely connected to the theft of the Override
President John Keeler : We need to find that Override now: what's the latest from the NRC?
Erin Driscoll : They just reported the San Gabriel reactors are about to go critical
President John Keeler : What's the time frame?
Erin Driscoll : Meltdown within the hour. We started evacuating the San Gabriel "zone", the population is less than a hundred thousand, and hopefully most of them are already on the move
President John Keeler : Right, expedite the process as much as you can
Erin Driscoll : [Before hanging up] yes Sir
-
President John Keeler : [Over the phone] can we rule out this boy's involvement with the terrorist action?
Erin Driscoll : No Sir, it's likely he knew his parent's plans: he probably helped them
President John Keeler : You're asking me to grant clemency to a terrorist?
Erin Driscoll : Mr. President, I don't think we have a choice in all my professional experience, I believe we have to give into this woman's demands
President John Keeler : Try to negotiating with her
Erin Driscoll : We don't have time, in approximately five hours, five nuclear reactors are going to go critical unless we find the Override device. She is our only link
President John Keeler : I'm uncomfortable with this but I trust your judgment. I'll release the letter
Erin Driscoll : [Before hanging up] thank you Mr. President
