James Morrison: Bill Buchanan

Quotes 

• President Charles Logan : [Over the speakerphone]  you're also on with Walt Cummings

  Bill Buchanan : Sir, CTU has a suspect in custody in the assassination of President Palmer

  President Charles Logan : Good: who is it?

  Bill Buchanan : It's Jack Bauer Sir

  President Charles Logan : Jack Bauer is dead

  Bill Buchanan : We've all been living under that assumption Sir

  President Charles Logan : I don't understand, what makes you think its Bauer?

  Bill Buchanan : CTU has verified surveillance video placing Jack Bauer at the same time in the same building the sniper who killed President Palmer

  President Charles Logan : Let me be on clear this: your saying Bauer shot David Palmer?

  Bill Buchanan : We're proceeding under that assumption, yes

  President Charles Logan : Why? For what possible reason?

  Bill Buchanan : David Palmer may have known Jack Bauer was alive. Knowledge he shared with three other CTU agents, all whom have been targeted in the last hour

  Spenser Wolff : The man does have a history of insubordination, irrational behavior, and drug addiction

  Bill Buchanan : Jack Bauer has a history of great service to this country

  President Charles Logan : How does this affect your threat assessment for the summit?

  Bill Buchanan : We're still recommending you delay or reschedule until Jack Bauer is apprehended

  President Charles Logan : [Sternly]  you have a suspect: find him

• Bill Buchanan : [Angrily, over the speakerphone]  what the hell is going on?

  Chloe O'Brian : Jack didn't kill anybody: his being framed to cover up the real reason was assassinated

  Bill Buchanan : This is according to Jack?

  Chloe O'Brian : This is according to the man who killed Palmer. I heard his dying confession, you'll find his body at the oil refinery north of the city at Variel and Topanga

  Bill Buchanan : Do you have any evidence that Palmer's assassination has anything to do with the summit?

  Chloe O'Brian : No, Jack's trying to figure all that out

  Bill Buchanan : How? Where is he?

  Chloe O'Brian : I can't tell you

  Bill Buchanan : Why not?

  Chloe O'Brian : Because I don't think you believe him, I think your just trying to arrest him

  Bill Buchanan : I'm not going to ask you again, I'm ordering you to tell us where Jack is

  Chloe O'Brian : I'm sorry, I'd like to tell you but I can't

• Edgar Stiles : [Referring to surveillance footage, during a CTU briefing]  preliminary analysis indicates the video hasn't been doctored

  Bill Buchanan : And means Jack was in the building as the sniper fired from at the same time President Palmer was assassinated

  Audrey Raines : That's impossible: this whole thing is impossible. Bill you were there when Jack was shot. He had no pulse, no vitals

  Bill Buchanan : And I have no idea how Jack staged his own death but I understand his reasons, he was about to be handed to the Chinese government to spend the rest of his life in prison

  Audrey Raines : None of that explains why Jack would want to kill David Palmer

  Bill Buchanan : I had Curtis pull the phone logs. Palmer, Tony, Michelle, were all talking to Jack right when he was supposedly "killed". Our working theory is that they conspired to help Jack fake his own death

  Audrey Raines : Now you're saying Jack is behind the attack on Tony and Michelle too?

  Audrey Raines : [after Bill nods]  why would Jack want to kill the people who helped him?

  Curtis Manning : "Something" may have happened: he stopped trusting them to keep his secret

  Audrey Raines : Jack would never murder his friends

  Bill Buchanan : Audrey, I don't want to believe Jack did this either but right now it's the best explanation for the evidence we have, I'm sorry. The White House needs to know about this

  Audrey Raines : [Before walking away]  yeah, I'll call the President

  Curtis Manning : [to Bill]  I had Adamson run a data recovery operation on Tony's phone records: they show Chloe was on those calls with President Palmer and Tony

  Edgar Stiles : Chloe knew Jack was alive?

  Curtis Manning : Apparently

  Bill Buchanan : [Looking at his watch]  we called her in an ago. She should've been here by now

  Edgar Stiles : [to Bill]  I tried to call her on her cell but she's not answering. I wanted to run a locator but Spencer talked me out of it

  Edgar Stiles : [to Spencer]  if anything happens to her it's your fault

  Bill Buchanan : [to Spencer]  have Adamson track her cell: we need to try to get to her before Jack does

  Bill Buchanan : [to everyone]  put out an interagency alert, Jack Bauer is now the prime suspect in President Palmer's assassination, emphasize that his a former agent, well trained, and should be considered extremely dangerous
