-
Lynn McGill : [after entering the situation room] Mr. Buchanan, I assume they told you I was coming?
Bill Buchanan : [while shaking hands] Lynn, please call me "Bill"
Lynn McGill : If we were having a beer or something but if we're at work its better if we maintain a more "formal" mode of address
Bill Buchanan : Whatever makes you feel more comfortable. Look, we're in the middle of a final prep here
Lynn McGill : I know, I understand President Logan wants us to go into the terminal as soon as possible
Bill Buchanan : Yes, before the treaty is signed
Lynn McGill : Is Curtis Manning ready to send his teams in?
Bill Buchanan : [Points to communication monitor with no signal] he is, but we're "flying blind"
Lynn McGill : My briefing sheet says we have Jack Bauer on the inside
Bill Buchanan : And we haven't heard from him for close to twenty minutes now
Lynn McGill : That's interesting
Bill Buchanan : I read the bulletin from Division but I still don't know why your here?
Lynn McGill : District was getting "heat" from the White House
Bill Buchanan : "Heat" about what?
Lynn McGill : Jack Bauer, they just want to know things are running smoothly
Bill Buchanan : We're on track
Lynn McGill : Oh, I'm sure you are: that's my assignment. Is your tactical wired through all the servers?
Bill Buchanan : Yes it is, you can go ahead and plug into station four
Lynn McGill : I prefer to work from your office Mr. Buchanan, I hate to displace you but I think I should have a central vantage point and just want to make sure your ok working from another station
Bill Buchanan : Fine
Lynn McGill : Good, and it's not a big deal but just so everyone's clear on the chain of command I think you should address me as "Mr. McGill" in front of the others
Bill Buchanan : You know, I'd rather not
Lynn McGill : Just a suggestion, anyway I need your office and that's not a "suggestion"
-
Bill Buchanan : What is it Lynn? I'm up to my ears with this operation
Lynn McGill : Sit down Mr. Buchanan
Bill Buchanan : Can you stop it with the "Mr. Buchanan"? We need to get this assault in motion now
Lynn McGill : Sit down Bill
Lynn McGill : I informed the White House the rescue operation is back on track
Bill Buchanan : [after sitting down] thank you
Lynn McGill : I must admit though I feel real inappropriate talking about an operation I didn't personally review so before you send your men into the terminal, I'd like to see the "playbook"
Bill Buchanan : [Stands up] I can't have you micromanage my work, if you want to do my job, let me know and I'll go home
Lynn McGill : Please don't be defensive. I'm not challenging you, I'm just trying to do my job
Bill Buchanan : I'll have Chloe send it to your laptop, anything else?
Lynn McGill : That's all for now
Lynn McGill : [Before he leaves his office] Bill, fighting me isn't going to increase our chances of saving those people's lives
-
Bill Buchanan : Lynn, I owe you an apology
Lynn McGill : For what?
Bill Buchanan : If you hadn't recognized the duress code, Jack transmitted...
Lynn McGill : Bill, you're the reason I figured out what he was doing
Bill Buchanan : What'd you mean?
Lynn McGill : I admit I was suspicious of Mr. Bauer, but you were so adamant about his integrity that I looked for a way to reconcile the contradiction: so thank you. I assume Mr. Bauer's been taken into custody?
Bill Buchanan : We'll have time to debrief him here but not as a suspect
Lynn McGill : Well, he hasn't been officially cleared in the deaths of David Palmer, Tony Almeida, or Michelle Dessler
Audrey Raines : Well, based on mitigating evidence, and Chloe O'Brian's testimony: we're confident Jack was framed for murders
Lynn McGill : I appreciate that but it still doesn't change our "entangled" situation. We have surveillance footage of places Jack Bauer at the site of David Palmer's as assassination
Bill Buchanan : Clearly, it was doctored
Lynn McGill : Not according to preliminary tests. If we're going to get to the bottom of this, Jack Bauer has a lot to answer for. Bring him in: now
-
Curtis Manning : [Over the phone with Bill and Lynn connected through] Jack, what happened?
Jack Bauer : One of the hostiles got too close, I had to end the transmission
Curtis Manning : Alright, we'll start again then
Jack Bauer : Negative Curtis, we need to scrap the existing plan: find a new breach point
Curtis Manning : My men are already in position
Lynn McGill : Then move the hostages away from the "kill zone." They'll be taken out with crossfire, there's an emergency door just south of gate twelve, it's unguarded, and you should be able to push through with opposition
Curtis Manning : I see it but I'm not comfortable with this entry point
Lynn McGill : It's the only shot we've got
Curtis Manning : Are you there now?
Jack Bauer : Yes, it's clear. I'm in a "flank 2" position. I repeat, I'm in a "flank 2" position
Lynn McGill : Curtis how long can your teams redeploy?
Curtis Manning : About twenty minutes
Lynn McGill : The President's going to sign the treaty within thirty minutes
Curtis Manning : I'll go as fast as I can
-
Lynn McGill : [Rushing into the conference room] stop the assault
Bill Buchanan : [to Audrey] get Curtis on the horn
Bill Buchanan : [to Lynn] what're you talking about?
Lynn McGill : Their walking into a trap: look at the transcript
Lynn McGill : [after opening his laptop] when Jack issued the command directive, he used the term "flank two"
Bill Buchanan : Yes, he was trying to give us his position inside the terminal
Lynn McGill : No, he wasn't, "flank two" is a duress code used to indicate the agent is communicating under duress
Bill Buchanan : We ran Jack's calls through a protocol filter: if there'd been a duress signal in there, we would've found it
Lynn McGill : You filtered it through the current codes. When Jack was active, "flank two" is a duress code
Bill Buchanan : [to Chloe] run that
Lynn McGill : Jack's trying to tell us his being used to send misinformation. If Cutis Manning's team goes in now, they'll be ambushed
Chloe O'Brian : [after checking their filters] his right
Bill Buchanan : [Over the speakerphone] Curtis, abort the countdown, repeat, abort, abort
Curtis Manning : Stand down, all teams stand down. We're aborting entry, confirm we're standing down. What's wrong Bill?
Bill Buchanan : We detected a duress code in Jack's call: we have to assume the terrorists are feeding him the information he gave us. Redeploy your men to the original assault plan, and do not contact Jack, if Jack contacts you, buy time
