James Morrison: Bill Buchanan

Quotes 

• Tony Almeida : [During a briefing meeting]  alright everyone listen up, this is Bill Buchanan from Division: he'll be overseeing the operation. All department heads run everything through him

  Bill Buchanan : In less than half an hour Habib Marwan wants to make an exchange at the Union Conduit Damn. Behrooz Araz for Jack Bauer now before we decide to move "forward", I need to know a few things: why does Marwan want the boy? What's his value?

  Tony Almeida : We were unable to find any evidence that Behrooz had any critical information

  Bill Buchanan : Did you push him?

  Tony Almeida : Yeah, I don't think the kid knows anything

  Bill Buchanan : Who's doing background?

  Chloe O'Brian : Me, there's nothing specifically that ties these two people together. The parents? Yes, Behrooz? No

  Bill Buchanan : Could Behrooz have "something" implanted in his body? "Something" neither he nor his parents knew about?

  Tony Almeida : No, we had him scanned when he was brought in

  Bill Buchanan : Did you do an MRI?

  Tony Almeida : Yeah

  Bill Buchanan : I don't like giving up something unless I know its value: let's talk about what happens if we don't agree to the exchange?

  Chloe O'Brian : We don't get Jack Bauer back for one thing

  Bill Buchanan : That can't be the deciding factor here

  Michelle Dessler : Well, most importantly if we don't go through with this exchange, we may lose an opportunity to trap Marwan

  Bill Buchanan : Marwan has to know what we're thinking, the chances of him being at the exchange are small

  Michelle Dessler : I agree but we could put a tracer on Behrooz, he might lead us to Marwan

  Bill Buchanan : We tried to trace Jack and Dina Araz an hour ago, they grabbed Jack and killed Dina

  Edgar Stiles : We'll take a different approach: use tracers, two of them. One for Marwan to find, the other one subcutaneous

  Bill Buchanan : There's no guarantee he'll find that one too

  Michelle Dessler : No, sir, there are no guarantees period. The fact is we have no viable leads on Marwan, we have to run with every chance we get

  Bill Buchanan : Have tactical finish up the profiles in five minutes, let's get field teams on their way to the dam now
