Ethan Kanin : [When she visits him in the hospital] I'm still here
President Allison Taylor : Are you going to be alright?
Ethan Kanin : I'll let my doctors "feel" that one: their running tests
President Allison Taylor : Good
Ethan Kanin : What's the situation with Hassan? Is he safe?
President Allison Taylor : They have him: the IRK agents have Hassan
Ethan Kanin : Oh dear God, they're going to kill him
President Allison Taylor : Not if CTU can get there in time. There's a rescue operation underway
Ethan Kanin : They know where he is?
President Allison Taylor : They will shortly. The terrorists had someone working for them inside CTU: an analyst named Dana Walsh I've agreed to a "conditional" immunity deal in exchange for her cooperation
Ethan Kanin : [Confused] "conditional" on what?
President Allison Taylor : Hassan's safe return. There's a "real possibility" Hassan won't survive this. I hate to even think about it but we have to be prepared. Is there any "chance" that the person who succeeds Hassan will be someone we can "deal" with?
Ethan Kanin : The IRK's Constitution is vague when it comes to succession of power: there's no telling who'd take his place. Besides, Hassan was "barely" able to form a consensus in his own Administration. It took a man of his charisma, passion, to achieve that. I'm sorry to be so negative but we have to be realistic, without Hassan, there can be no peace

Dalia Hassan : I was told you found my husband?
President Allison Taylor : His being held in an apartment building: CTU is "preparing" to go in after him
Kayla Hassan : Do they know if his still alive?
President Allison Taylor : We "believe" that he is but we can't be sure. We have our best men in the field and they're going to do everything they can to save your husband's life
Dalia Hassan : But you cannot "guarantee" that he will be saved?
President Allison Taylor : I'm afraid not but I assure you we're going to do "everything" we can

President Allison Taylor : [Referring to the satellite feed, over the phone] I saw the crash, please tell me President Hassan survived?
Brian Hastings : Actually, we just learned President Hassan wasn't in the vehicle
President Allison Taylor : I don't understand
Brian Hastings : During the pursuit, we believe he was switched to another car: we're trying to track it down
President Allison Taylor : Then he's still alive?
Brian Hastings : It "appears" so ma'am. If the terrorists wanted him dead, they would've killed him on site
President Allison Taylor : They must have another "agenda", I don't even want to "speculate" on what that it "might" be
Brian Hastings : We will keep you apprised
President Allison Taylor : [Before hanging up] thank you

Mikhail Novakovich : Thank you for seeing me, I know that you are very busy
President Allison Taylor : It's alright, please sit down
Mikhail Novakovich : Can I assume that there's a "change" in the status of President Hassan?
President Allison Taylor : I'm afraid not
Mikhail Novakovich : Then he is still being held by terrorists?
President Allison Taylor : For now, yes
Mikhail Novakovich : Are you "hopeful" that CTU can recover him?
President Allison Taylor : We're following a lead now and yes we are very "hopeful"
Mikhail Novakovich : What is the nature of the lead?
President Allison Taylor : I'd rather not get into specifics: you will be told the second we know
Mikhail Novakovich : I need to stress if President Hassan isn't recovered, his government will be in disarray: the peace agreement will have no chance of success
President Allison Taylor : I'm aware of that... there's no point to speculate on a worst case scenario, we're not there yet
Mikhail Novakovich : I just want to make our position clear: if Hassan dies, there is no agreement
President Allison Taylor : If I didn't know better, I think you were "hoping" for that would happen?
Mikhail Novakovich : Madam President...
President Allison Taylor : [Sternly] you believe this treaty will weaken your "influence" in the region. Your country has been looking for any excuse to pull out
Mikhail Novakovich : I realize you are under a great deal of pressure but there is no reason for these "baseless" accusations: my country has been more than supportive. We are "here", are we not?
President Allison Taylor : Perhaps I spoke too harshly? I just don't need you to remind me how perilous the situation is. I do appreciate your support and I "hope" I can count on it when we find President Hassan
Mikhail Novakovich : Of course
