Xander Berkeley: George Mason

Quotes 

• Bob Warner : [In an interrogation room]  it's hard not to think there must be some mistake with the evidence you have

  George Mason : [Referring to Marie]  it's black and white: your daughter killed Reza and two of our agents. We need your help to understand what her connection to Syed Ali is

  Bob Warner : Had I known she was involved I would've done something

  George Mason : And now that you do know, does it help explain any strange behavior? Anything at all can help us

  Bob Warner : [after clearing his throat]  well Marie went to college in London while I was working there. That's when her mother died and it hit her hard. It hit all of us hard

  George Mason : And?

  Bob Warner : She ran away for a while

  George Mason : How long?

  Bob Warner : Three, maybe four weeks. We got the police involved but she sent us a letter saying she was fine, that she was traveling and she just needed some space. And when she came back, well I was so grateful to see her that I stopped asking questions

  George Mason : No sense that anything had "changed" a fundamental difference?

  Bob Warner : She'd become less politically "inclined"? She's always "flirted" with causes. Respectable causes like save the wilderness or abolish the death penalty. She stopped talking about all that

  George Mason : Well, that's what happens when you're radicalized. Handlers train you to stop talking about anything and keep it to yourself. Your better to blend into the background

• Michelle Dessler : This scan just came in from the mosque: it's a burnt paper fragment found in Ali's clothing. The only thing visible to the naked eye is in the lower left quadrant. Looks like a piece of a number, a six or maybe an eight

  George Mason : Are all of our forensic people in the field?

  Michelle Dessler : We just got Murdoch from San Diego. His suppose to be an expert on computer imaging. If anyone can see this, he can

  George Mason : [after greeting each other]  any way to accelerate the process?

  Randy Murdoch : [Shakes his head]  my CPU is a lot faster than anything you guys got. A parallel process will take way too long. If there's anything there I'm going to get it

• George Mason : What're you doing?

  Tony Almeida : Getting more people out there to look for Jack's daughter

  George Mason : After I specifically told you to divert all resources to the bomb?

  Tony Almeida : The satellite feed is happening alright? I'm not using our resources I was telling the sheriff where to look for her

  George Mason : Tony, you're a resource: I don't need you to split your attention

  Tony Almeida : I promised Jack I would do everything in my power to look for Kim. Just like you did

  George Mason : [while raising his voice before walking away]  Kim is outside the blast radius. The rest of Los Angeles isn't. Stay focused on the bomb that goes for everybody

• Syed Ali : [Giving him the location of the bomb]  it is at Norton Airfield

  Jack Bauer : Why? What's the plan?

  Syed Ali : We were going to fly over downtown: it is true

  Jack Bauer : [Calling CTU immediately]  It's Jack, give me Mason

  Jack Bauer : [to George]  It's Jack

  George Mason : What'd you have?

  Jack Bauer : The bomb is at Norton Airfield. Their putting it on a plane to fly over the city

  Michelle Dessler : Norton's a medium size airfield with cargo planes, private aviation. Every tail number ends with an N, that's probably what this paper is referring to. It's still on partial but it narrows down the search

  George Mason : [to Jack]  we're on our way

  George Mason : [to CTU personnel]  we're moving in. There's Bravo, Echo, and Lima. Norton Airfield is where we have reason to believe where the bomb is located. Call FAA and have them ground all the flights in and out of Norton. In the event they do get the plane in the air, we want two F-16's ready to intercept. Get some bomb units and SWAT teams over there as well. Let's move, remember everybody the "non-necessary contact" rule remains in place
