Quotes 

• President Allison Taylor : [after hanging up the phone]  I've spoken to twelve heads of state: their concerned but their all still planning to attend the signing ceremony tomorrow

  Rob Weiss : Well, I've got some bad news. Apparently killing Hassan was only part of his brother's plan. CTU believes his trying to acquire weapons grade uranium

  President Allison Taylor : From whom?

  Rob Weiss : A Russian crime syndicate here in New York: half of them are ex-Soviet Army or KGB. If anyone has access to unsecured stockpiles...

  Ethan Kanin : [Overhearing them]  It's what we've been afraid of since the Wall came down

  Ethan Kanin : [to Weiss]  Is President Hassan aware of this?

  Rob Weiss : He's the one who told CTU about it

  Rob Weiss : [to Taylor]  Director Hastings has already initiated an undercover operation to try to recover the uranium before its smuggled out of the country

  President Allison Taylor : The nuclear materials are here? On US soil? Are they sure?

  Rob Weiss : I'm afraid so

  President Allison Taylor : Ethan, you asked if President Hassan was aware of this, why?

  Ethan Kanin : It helps explain what's been going on in the Islamic Republic. I just spoke with our Ambassador in the IRK, Hassan's security forces are sweeping through the capital, arresting opposition leaders and shuttering news organizations

  President Allison Taylor : Has he declared Martial law?

  Ethan Kanin : Not officially but effectively that's what he's been doing

  Rob Weiss : Who can blame him? I mean his brother couldn't have been acting alone: we want Hassan cracking down on hardliners in his government

  Ethan Kanin : Except that his defying his country's laws as well as his international human rights obligations

  President Allison Taylor : And if he continues, he may delegitimize the peace accord. Has President Hassan been back yet from CTU?

  Rob Weiss : He'll be here in ten minutes
