Roger Cross: Curtis Manning

Quotes 

• 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
