Nick Coughlin : [Talking privately] congratulations madam President
President Allison Taylor : Thank you, I appreciated your support
Nick Coughlin : Good, now you'll be happy to explain to me... what's really going on
President Allison Taylor : I thought I did
Nick Coughlin : You invoked "national security" which with respect is not an explanation, it is an un-done task: our countries have a unique relationship based on a trust developed a century earlier: anything you say to me is in the strictest confidence
President Allison Taylor : You tell your Prime Minister and no one else that President Hassan's crackdown isn't just on the attempt on his life. There are unsecured nuclear materials "in play." Apparently a "faction" inside his country was so disturbed with the prospect of disarmament that they decided to take matters into their own hands
Nick Coughlin : Where are the materials?
President Allison Taylor : Here on our soil. CTU is running an undercover operation to recover them as we speak

President Allison Taylor : [Over the phone] we were scheduled to resume our discussions
President Omar Hassan : I'm late, I apologize: the events of this evening...
President Allison Taylor : [Interrupts him] the events of this evening may be more important than ever that we complete our work on this treaty, I need to know your intentions
President Omar Hassan : My "intentions"?
President Allison Taylor : The "crackdown" on your countrymen, I've been informed you've even arrested one of the members of your delegation
President Omar Hassan : That's an internal matter
President Allison Taylor : No, sir it is not. Less than an hour ago, I assured delegates from two dozen countries that you were still our best of hope for peace. I "personally" guaranteed them. You observed the letter and the spirit of this agreement we're signing
President Omar Hassan : And I will
President Allison Taylor : Do I have your word on that?
President Omar Hassan : Within the next few hours, the arrests will stop. I'm taking measures to assure that
President Allison Taylor : And the delegate you've taken into custody?
President Omar Hassan : He will be released or charged: you have my word
President Allison Taylor : [Before hanging up] thank you
