Look the reason why I had to leave the office is because I got a call from Walsh. He was meeting another one of our agents, Scott Baylor. He said he had evidence. Nina Myers: That led you to me, I know Jack but you should of thought it through. Jack Bauer: Nina listen to me. .............Richard Walsh is dead. Nina Myers: What? Jack Bauer: He was shot, I watched him die. Nina Myers: What is going on? Jack Bauer: He had proof that people within our own agency were involved in the hit on Palmer. Nina Myers: Who? Jack Bauer: I don't know yet. Before Richard died he gave me that keycard, I hope that's going to tell us. Jamey's trying to break it down now. Nina Myers: You trust Jamey? Jack Bauer: Walsh did. I trust you, which means the three of us have to work together. From this point forward we have to assume that we can trust no one else. Nina Myers: I understand.
