Alberta Watson: Erin Driscoll

Quotes 

• Erin Driscoll : [Briefing CTU staff]  everyone, please listen up, Secretary of Defense was abducted a few minutes ago along with his senior policy analyst Audrey Raines: Heller was at his son Richard's house when he was taken. LAPD is brining Richard in for questioning, this is a top priority situation. I want all interagency protocols activated immediately

• Jack Bauer : I need to speak to you

  Erin Driscoll : You're done here

  Jack Bauer : Just listen to me

  Erin Driscoll : I'm detaining you

  Jack Bauer : Just listen to me: Secretary Heller is my responsibility now I need you to reinstate me on a provisional basis until I get him back

  Erin Driscoll : You don't give me orders, I'm detaining you until an investigator from Division can take your statement. I'm going to recommend you arrested for torturing a suspect and rendering him useless for questioning

  Jack Bauer : You weren't getting anywhere with him because of me Sherek told you everything he knows

  Erin Driscoll : You better hope so

• President John Keeler : [Over the phone]  what can you tell me about the attack on the Secretary?

  Erin Driscoll : We know he was taken along with his daughter approximately ten minutes ago

  President John Keeler : But you haven't had any contact from the kidnappers?

  Erin Driscoll : No Sir, we have not

  President John Keeler : How is it the Secret Service wasn't able to protect him?

  Erin Driscoll : It's my understanding he broke his schedule to visit his son: somehow the kidnappers had access to that information. We're looking into that now

  President John Keeler : Alright, we're going to go to an elevated level of security. I want you to take the appropriate measures

  Erin Driscoll : I understand

  President John Keeler : [Before hanging up]  get them back

• Jack Bauer : [Talking privately]  I have information you ignored that appears connected not only to the bombing but the kidnapping of Secretary Heller

  Jack Bauer : What information?

  Jack Bauer : A computer programmer by the name of Andrew Paige, accidently came across a possible internet strike earlier this morning

  Erin Driscoll : I know, it was passed onto the FBI

  Jack Bauer : Yes, against CTU protocol: you abandoned an active investigation by a CTU agent during a terrorist strike. I just got confirmation from the LAPD that Andrew Paige's coworkers were all found dead less than twenty minutes ago

  Erin Driscoll : I'll coordinate with the FBI and we'll take over the investigation with that lead

  Jack Bauer : No, you won't, I just talked to the kid and I'm the only one who knows where he is, you want that kid picked up, you're going to have to reinstate me

  Erin Driscoll : I'm having you locked up for impeding my investigation

  Jack Bauer : You do that and I'll tell the President that you had Sherek in custody over half an hour before Secretary Heller was even kidnapped and you couldn't break him: I did

  Erin Driscoll : You threatening me?

  Jack Bauer : I am "asking" you to let me help rescue Secretary Heller

  Jack Bauer : This is how this is going to work, I'll reinstate your commission on a temporary basis until Heller is safe, you will not make any unilateral decisions, you will work as an auxiliary agent under the authority of Ronnie Lobell and then I'll hand you over to Division

• Ronnie Lobell : So let me understand this? Bauer illegally shoots a suspect and now you're going to let him back in the field?

  Erin Driscoll : He'll only give us the location if I let him work it

  Ronnie Lobell : He can't hold back information: it's not his privilege

  Erin Driscoll : We don't have time to interrogate him. It's a simple job, you pick up the subject and you bring him in

  Ronnie Lobell : Bauer has not been in the field for a year and a half ok? That has consequences, it's my ass on the...

  Erin Driscoll : [Interrupts him]  which is why is why I need you to keep him on a tight leash. It's not optional, it's an order

• Erin Driscoll : [Talking privately]  has it occurred to you that we might be further along if you trust me half as much as you trust Jack Bauer?

  Chloe O'Brian : You know what Ms. Driscoll? I'm really not in the mood to play the part of the "scared student in the principal's office." I came to you with important information my friend Andrew gave me and you choose not to respond to it

  Erin Driscoll : When you came to me with the original information, we were looking for Sherek, were we not?

  Chloe O'Brian : yes

  Erin Driscoll : He was our most important lead at the time wasn't he?

  Chloe O'Brian : I guess

  Erin Driscoll : Then my question to you is: once we had Sherek in custody, if you "felt" your internet lead was still valuable, why didn't you reprise it?

  Chloe O'Brian : Your right, I felt more comfortable working with Jack

  Erin Driscoll : Well, at least that's honest. You can go back to work now
