She’s Like a Bomb Ready To Go Off

Jack Bauer (over comm): Renee, I’ve got a visual on you. I’m going off comm for a minute.
Vladimir Laitanan: You alright?
Chloe O’Brian: (phone rings) CTU, O’Brian.
Jack Bauer: Chloe, it’s Jack. I want you to monitor Renee’s comm. I need to speak to Hastings.
Chloe O’Brian: Okay, I’ll put you through.
Brian Hastings: I’m here, Jack. Go ahead.
Jack Bauer: We need to pull Renee Walker out now.
Brian Hastings: Based on what?
Jack Bauer: Because she’s a danger to herself and this mission. Ten minutes ago, Laitanan threatened to execute her, and she said she was sick of living and wanted to die. And she meant it.
Brian Hastings: She must’ve been playing him.
Jack Bauer: No! She doesn’t care what happens to her, that’s what makes her dangerous. She’s like a bomb ready to go off. We need to get her out of there before that happens.
Brian Hastings: Look, I understand your concern, but we can’t just roll up this operation before we find those nuclear rods.
Jack Bauer: We can arrest Laitanan. If he knows how to find the rods, I will make him talk.
Brian Hastings: If you’re saying what I think you are, we don’t do that anymore.
Jack Bauer: Then you people do what you do well — offer him immunity or something.
Brian Hastings: This is the Russian Syndicate. They’re very secretive, they protect their own. It is highly unlikely that Laitanan would cooperate.
Jack Bauer: Then you better find another way, because I am not gonna let Renee die because CTU did their job badly. I will not let that happen. Do you understand me?
Brian Hastings: Jack, if you can think of something, I will listen. But right now, Renee’s the only hope we have of neutralizing this threat. And on my order, she stays in play. Jack?
Jack Bauer: I’ll find a way to get her out when I go in as the buyer. I’ll stay under in her place. Do we have a deal?
Brian Hastings: As long as you can do it without risking the mission.
Jack Bauer: I give you my word.
Brian Hastings: Agent Ortiz will meet you at the staging area with a TAC team. He’ll have everything you need for your cover.
Jack Bauer: Hold on. They’re moving. I need to get back on comm.
Vladimir Laitanan: We’ll go back to my shop, and we will discuss this buyer of yours.
