President Palmer : I can't wait for Ellis to get back to us. I've got to go.
Jack Bauer : Senator, they're not going to let me continue to work here. I am technically still under arrest.
[pause]
President Palmer : Come on.
[They exit the conference room, and enter the main CTU floor]
President Palmer : Ryan!
Ryan Chappelle : Yes, Senator?
President Palmer : I understand you have Jack under arrest.
Jack Bauer : I told the Senator I was being detained for questioning.
President Palmer : There is an ongoing crisis that supersedes any charges that might be filed against him.
Ryan Chappelle : But Senator...
President Palmer : I want him reinstated to his previous position, effective immediately.
Alberta Green : I'm sorry, sir, but you don't have the authority to make that decision.
Ryan Chappelle : Alberta, please.
[Alberta stares at Palmer, then backs off]
Ryan Chappelle : Sir, what you are asking isn't possible. The charges against Agent Bauer are serious. We would be held in contempt of agency regulations if we reinstated him without a hearing.
Jack Bauer : Ryan, you don't have to reinstate me. Not permanantly. Look, nobody here has as much information about this situation as I do. Give me provisional status, just till the end of the day. Then you can take me back into custody, do whatever you want.
[pause; Chappelle looks at Palmer]
Ryan Chappelle : Fine, Jack. You work the case out of CTU, but you answer to me. Good luck with your campaign, Senator.
[Chappelle walks off]
Jack Bauer : Thank you.
[Jack stares at Green. Palmer then pulls Jack aside]

Ryan Chappelle : Senator Palmer. Ryan Chappelle.
[Chappelle and Palmer shake hands]
President Palmer : What seems to be the problem, Ryan? Why can't I get in to see Agent Bauer?
Ryan Chappelle : Please forgive the wait. But when an agent is under internal investigation, procedure is to keep him isolated until he's been fully interrogated.
