[12:03:16] Palmer?
[12:03:17] Sir, it's Jack Bauer.
[12:03:19] Ah, Jack. I see. It's good to hear from you. What can I do for you?
[12:03:26] Well Mr Palmer sir, I hate to interrupt you, I know you're a busy man, I was just
[12:03:31] Jack, you don't have to explain yourself. I know you're not the kind of man who makes social calls. Whatever it is, I want to hear
[12:03:40] Oh. Well, I just wanted to know...
[12:03:52] Jack? Can you hear me?
[12:03:57] Sir, I just wanted to know how you're feeling after your divorce.
[12:04:07] My divorce?
[12:04:09] I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to trouble you, I should've phoned with something important to say
[12:04:15] No Jack, it's a welcome question. [UNINTELLIGIBLE] on my mind right now, I'm... It was the right decision. Cherry was a liability to my campaign... She could've even been a danger to my family. I've never met your daughter, Jack, but after what she nearly did to her, I can't trust her again.
[12:04:39] Yes, sir.
[12:04:46] Is that all, Bauer?
[12:04:49] Yeah.
[12:04:51] Alright. Thanks for calling.
[12:04:52] No. Stay on the line, sir.
[12:04:56] Of course, Jack.
[12:04:59] Mr Palmer... Sir... Are you aware that I lost my wife on that day?
[12:05:10] I heard, sure. Jack, I'm sorry for your loss.
[12:05:16] It's just, I've been going out of my mind. Kim isn't even talking to me anymore, and it's all my fault, I spent so long trying to protect both of them, and just after it's all over, at the end of the line, I stopped paying attention for one second and she died. I could've saved her, sir, and I didn't. I keep thinking
[12:05:36] Hey, slow down. I'm not fully aware of the details of her death, but I do know that even you can't be in two places at once.
[12:05:44] That's just it sir. I have to be, that's my job.
[12:05:48] You seem to forget, Jack. It's my job too. But, from where I'm standing, I think you did everything you could've. Probably even more! Every new fact that I learn about that day, I was worrying about a couple news stories, while you were risking your life to protect them. And to protect me too! That whole day, and you never got tired, you never rested. I am certain that without you I would be dead right now.
[12:06:09] Yeah. I mean- thankyou, sir.
[12:06:15] For what it's worth Jack, you saved an awful lot of people that day. Just because you couldn't save them all doesn't mean you don't deserve my gratitude. And my praise. Well done, Jack.
[12:06:26] Do you really mean that?
[12:06:28] Of course.
[12:06:31] Sir, I didn't mean to talk about myself for so long, that's the reason I called. I just wanted to know how you feel about your ex-wife. You're the only person I know who might be feeling this way too, so I- to tell you the truth, I almost didn't try to contact you
[12:06:42] Well Mr Bauer, this is a secure line. You're lucky I trust you so much or I wouldn't have taken your call
[12:06:53] I'm so sorry, sir, next time ill-
[12:06:55] But- I miss her. Well, you've seen the news, I haven't talked to her since we signed the documents. My constituents are taking it well, but...
[12:07:09] Your family?
[12:07:12] Yeah.
[12:07:14] Kids are so hard
[12:07:17] Yeah. They know the reasons I did it, but I don't know if they understand.
[12:07:24] Yeah... I get it.
[12:07:29] Jack, I hope you know, you have my trust. After what you did for me on that day. I don't know what it is, but I like to think I'm a good judge of character, I-
[12:07:54] Sir, I trust you too.
[12:07:59] Jack, I spend my life trying to make people trust me
[12:08:02] David- Mr Palmer... I trust you.
[12:08:07] Thankyou, Jack.
[12:08:11] Thanks for taking my call, sir. Good luck with-
[12:08:15] Jack, you're going already?
[12:08:18] Yeah, I'm- Sorry sir, I have to go
[12:08:23] You sound to me like someone who doesn't know what to do with himself when there's no crisis. That's why you're trying to rush off, isn't it. You always think there's somewhere you have to be.
[12:08:33] Yeah... I think I'd say so sir. But even so, I do have to go.
[12:08:40] Will you contact me again?
[12:08:42] Sir, I don't work at CTU anymore, but if there's anything you need to know about, you can rest assured-
[12:08:47] I didn't mean that. I mean, before there's anything for me to know about? Sometime when there is no crisis?
[12:08:55] Maybe... I don't know... As you say sir, I'm not usually one for social calls.
[12:09:01] Sure. Well, I don't know if I'll have the time either. As you say, Jack, I'm a busy man
[12:09:13] Goodbye, sir. I hope to speak to you again when I need to
[12:09:18] Bye, Jack. Until next time.
