Quotes 

• Bill Buchanan : [having not spoken for two years, Jack struggles to talk clearly]  I can't hear you, Jack.

  Jack Bauer : [rasping]  Audrey?

  Bill Buchanan : Audrey doesn't know you're back.

  Jack Bauer : My daughter?

  Bill Buchanan : Kim doesn't know, either.

  Jack Bauer : You keep it that way.

• Bill Buchanan : [Over the phone]  we have Jack

  Karen Hayes : Good

  Bill Buchanan : I thought I was "prepared", his worse than I expected: much worse

  Karen Hayes : I know how hard this must be for you but everything depends on this operation

  Bill Buchanan : I understand

  Karen Hayes : I know you do. I wish I were there with you

  Bill Buchanan : You're where you need to be

  Karen Hayes : I miss you

  Bill Buchanan : [Before hanging up]  I miss you too, I have to take Jack to the drop point now. Bye

• Bill Buchanan : President Palmer wants to speak to you himself: as soon as we debrief

  Bill Buchanan : [after Jack doesn't respond]  I'm sorry Jack, how could you know? Wayne Palmer is President. He's the one who negotiated your release. I can't even to begin to imagine what you went through over there. Last eleven weeks, our cities have been targeted by a series of terror attacks. Buses, trains, shopping malls, the last one was fifteen minutes ago here in Los Angeles

  Bill Buchanan : [Shows Jack a photo]  it's Hamri Al-Assad. Four days ago, one of Assad's men contacted us, he said he would give up Assad for twenty five million dollars. But his demanding something more than money: he wants you, he wants you dead

  Bill Buchanan : [Shows Jack another photo]  it's Abu Fayed. He wants his "pound of flesh" for what happened in Beirut. We offered him other alternatives, we did everything we could think of but he only agreed to give us Assad in exchange for you

  Curtis Manning : His demanded our surveillance protocols, which means we can't risk an extraction. Once he has you, you'll be on your own

  Bill Buchanan : Do you understands what this means? We're asking you to sacrifice yourself so we can eliminate Assad

  Jack Bauer : I know what's being asked of me Curtis, you don't need your firearm. Before we do this, I would like to clean up

  Curtis Manning : We've got an area set up for, and provided you with some new clothes

• Bill Buchanan : [Over the phone]  Jack's at the drop point, set with the military?

  Nadia Yassir : Marines have two covert attack helicopters ready to deploy: we can hit anywhere inside LA within twenty minutes

  Bill Buchanan : Jack's giving his life for this operation, so I don't want any mistakes. Assad must be taken out with extreme prejudice

  Nadia Yassir : We'll be ready as soon as we get his location from Fayed

  Bill Buchanan : If Fayed calls before I get back, link me in

  Nadia Yassir : Ok, I'm "sidelining" Chloe on this operation

  Bill Buchanan : Why?

  Nadia Yassir : She started asking questions about Jack, I tried to put her off

  Bill Buchanan : What'd you tell her?

  Nadia Yassir : The truth

  Bill Buchanan : [Before hanging up]  I'll talk to her when I get there

• Karen Hayes : [Over the phone]  have you heard from Fayed?

  Bill Buchanan : Not yet, no

  Karen Hayes : The President's worried: Fayed should've contacted us by now

  Bill Buchanan : There may be a problem. There's a possibility Fayed could be going back on the deal

  Karen Hayes : What're you talking about?

  Bill Buchanan : He caught us trying to track Jack

  Karen Hayes : The orders were he was to have a "clear field"

  Bill Buchanan : I know what the orders were. Chloe thought there was a work around, she did it without authorization

  Karen Hayes : [Angrily]  damn it, how could you let this happen? She is your responsibility, if we don't take out Assad...

  Bill Buchanan : [Interrupts her]  I don't need a lecture, I know what the stakes are

  Karen Hayes : I don't think you do. If these attacks don't stop, there are people in this Administration that are willing to tear up the Constitution in the name of National Security. The things they are talking about doing, this country will never recover

  Bill Buchanan : As soon as I hear from Fayed, you'll be my first call

  Karen Hayes : [Realizing she's taking out her stress on him]  I'm sorry

  Bill Buchanan : There's no need to apologize: we're all feeling it

  Karen Hayes : [Before hanging up]  I have to go
