Mandy is not referred to by name at all in this episode. Everyone at CTU refers to her as "the hostile," because they are unable to identify her.
Continuity error: The timestamp on the photo that Mandy sends Michelle on her cell phone reads 01_02_00_0237 which indicates that the photo was taken at 2:37am instead of 5:08am. The date, depending on the day-month-year order, indicates that the photo was either taken on January 2, 2000 or February 1, 2000.
Mandy: Do you really have what it takes to let me kill him while you're looking him in the eye?
Jack Bauer: Yes.
Mandy: I believe you.
Jack Bauer: (choking Mandy) Where is Marwan? (silence) That's what I thought... we're both professionals. You know I can get this information out of you, but I'm running out of time. We never get second chances in our line of work, but I'm gonna give you one. I have the power to give you a deal, signed by the President of the United States, that grants you immunity from past and present crimes. In exchange, you're gonna help me find Marwan and stop this warhead from hitting its target. You understand? (tightens his grip on her throat) Do you understand? (shoves gun in her face) You are either gonna help me now, or I will kill you.
Mandy: Show me the deal.
