Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : [Whispering while being held hostage by Juma and his men]  we need to make a move to try and save the President

  Bill Buchanan : How?

  Jack Bauer : In the lockdown room, there were five canisters of CH-4. Before we surrendered ourselves to Juma, I opened the valves: the next few minutes the room's going to be saturated with natural gas. It's going to take one spark to set it off. I think the explosion will be large enough to take out most of Juma's men, that's when you can make your move

  Bill Buchanan : How do we set it off?

  Jack Bauer : I'll make a run for the lockdown room, try and draw their fire: all we need is one straight bullet

  Bill Buchanan : That's a suicide play

  Jack Bauer : We don't have a choice. Just make sure you can get the President and get her out of here, when she knows about the plan, she'll be ready

  Senator Blaine Mayer : [to Bill after overhearing their conversation]  what are you planning? Are you going to do "something"?

  Bill Buchanan : When "it happens", you'll know about it

  Senator Blaine Mayer : [Angrily]  damn it, if you're planning "something", I want to know what it is

  Jack Bauer : [to Blaine]  shut up
