Quotes 

• Cara Bowden : [Referring to Jack]  so what're you doing? We don't need the hostage, especially not him: shoot him already and let's get out of here

  Tony Almeida : You're not seeing the "bigger picture", your people are going to be able to launch the attacks just like they originally planned

  Cara Bowden : How? We lost the canister: we don't have the pathogen anymore

  Tony Almeida : We have Jack, the pathogen is in his blood, and it's in his organs. We'll be able to harvest everything we need from his body. Why did you think I had you put those operatives with Kim Bauer? Your people are still going to need proof that Jack's viable. Have one of your biochemists meet us at the complex

• Cara Bowden : I'll contact the "group" as soon as we know if Bauer's viable

  Tony Almeida : Yeah, look, I need to talk to you first

  Cara Bowden : What is it?

  Tony Almeida : I want a larger role in the "organization" and I think this is a good time to make my case

  Cara Bowden : We've gone over this before ok? It's not how it works: you don't "ask" to get in, you're "invited"

  Tony Almeida : Alright, so get me an "invitation", after what I've done today, I think I've earned it

  Cara Bowden : [after thinking it over]  you have been "resourceful", it's true but still...

  Tony Almeida : [Interrupts her]  look, I know you talk to the "top guy", all I'm asking is you get us in the same room together. I'll "sell" myself

  Cara Bowden : I don't think that would be the "right approach"

  Tony Almeida : Why not?

  Cara Bowden : Because his careful "to a fall" and his very protective of his anonymity

  Tony Almeida : I can appreciate that but the bottom line is: without me this operation never happens. Now you have "influence" over him, he trusts you, you can convince him, and I've seen you do it before

  Cara Bowden : This is different

  Tony Almeida : That's right: it is different, this time it's for me

• Cara Bowden : [Over the phone]  Bauer is viable but you'll need to secure a facility

  Alan Wilson : That won't be a problem: as long as you're absolutely certain that we can accomplish this

  Cara Bowden : We've done the hard part and from what I understand with the proper equipment, the actual extraction and the bio engineering is really straightforward

  Alan Wilson : Ok, I'll contact the others, good work

  Cara Bowden : They should know they have Almeida to thank for this: he's the one who realized Bauer was a possible source

  Alan Wilson : I'll relay my gratitude

  Cara Bowden : I think you should consider going farther than that

  Alan Wilson : Farther? What'd you have in mind?

  Cara Bowden : Tony believes in what we're doing: he wants to play a larger role

  Alan Wilson : That sounds "premature" to me

  Cara Bowden : The thing is if we don't make a "significant gesture", we may lose him

  Alan Wilson : I don't even know this man

  Cara Bowden : Then you should get to know him

  Alan Wilson : Are you suggesting I "meet" with him?

  Cara Bowden : Look, all I'm saying is he would be a very "useful" voice in the mix: his field experience fills a knowledge gap in regards to our logistics and planning

  Alan Wilson : Coming from you that's a hell of a recommendation

  Cara Bowden : There's no one better and it's not like you vetted every other member the group

  Alan Wilson : Maybe it is time that he and I met. I could be where you are in the next half hour

  Cara Bowden : You're coming here?

  Alan Wilson : I think it'd be a good idea I supervised Bauer's transfer myself: make the others feel at ease don't you think? But I'll look Almeida in the eye and if for any reason I don't like what I see, you understand? I can't let him walk out of that meeting alive

  Cara Bowden : [Before hanging up]  I understand
