Paul Schulze: Ryan Chappelle

Quotes 

• Ryan Chappelle : Here's the situation: we believe Michael Amador is in possession of the Cordilla virus, we believe he is either headed towards Los Angeles or is here already. We estimate he has enough of the pathogen to take out a major metropolitan area, our only lead is Nina Meyers who is being brought back to CTU right now. She thinks Amador is meeting with a man in Los Angeles named Marcus Alvers. Adam's done the work up on him

  Adam Kaufman : We have some background but there's nothing that places him definitively in Los Angeles today

  Ryan Chappelle : That's it? What about Interpol? What do they have on Alvers?

  Adam Kaufman : Our data tracking is a little behind, so we weren't able to access that report

  Ryan Chappelle : Why are we behind?

  Tony Almeida : We haven't updated the European contact logs when I was down

  Ryan Chappelle : Michelle, you were the ranking agent

  Michelle Dessler : I didn't think Europe was a priority

  Tony Almeida : Obviously it was

  Michelle Dessler : There was a lot going on at the time

  Ryan Chappelle : Alright. Let's get back to work, and let's try to ease up on the mistakes tonight because there are millions of lives depending on us

• Jack Bauer : What's happening with the Nina interrogation?

  Ryan Chappelle : Their getting "something"

  Jack Bauer : What?

  Ryan Chappelle : The connection between Alvers and Nina might be deeper than we thought

  Jack Bauer : You better hope she's not just "spinning your wheel" because she knows how to manipulate our interrogation protocols

  Ryan Chappelle : Tony knows what his doing

  Jack Bauer : Ok fine. I need to get together with Chloe, I need everything she's got on the Amador investigation

  Ryan Chappelle : Not yet

  Jack Bauer : You're wasting my time: I humored you with a physical and we both know my blood work will come back with trace amounts of opiates but enough is enough

  Ryan Chappelle : Rae Plachecki is here from the Inspector's General's office, she wants to talk to you

  Jack Bauer : This is not the time

  Ryan Chappelle : Actually it is. You'll talk to her and we'll evaluate if you can go back to work or not

• Ryan Chappelle : [Introducing them to each other]  Rae Plachecki, this is Jack Bauer

  Rae Plachecki : Ok you know the drill Jack. I'm going to ask you some questions and I want you to know I'm on your side: we just want to establish if this heroin addiction was a "necessary" part of your cover

  Jack Bauer : It was "necessary" to maintain my cover, are we done now?

  Ryan Chappelle : Sit down Jack

  Rae Plachecki : [Recording their session]  this is Rae Plachecki, the time is 2:31am. This is the interrogation of Jack Bauer, Director of field Ops CTU, and Ryan Chappelle is present. Jack, tell us how you established your cover with Ramon Salazar?

  Jack Bauer : I first came in contact with the Salazar's approximately two years ago, they were an up and coming narcotic cartel from Mexico

• Rae Plachecki : Something not connecting up for me Jack, you say you weren't in with the Salazar's until early February, but the first time you started using was late December? That's six weeks shooting up for the benefit of no one, am I missing something?

  Jack Bauer : I was trying to pass myself as a junkie, I wanted to be "prepared"

  Rae Plachecki : What'd you mean "prepared"?

  Jack Bauer : The Salazar's live their entire lives in the drug world, if I couldn't handle the narcotics that went with that territory, they would've known I was a cop and would've killed me. I needed to be able to handle it

  Rae Plachecki : That makes sense but in January, even when you were putting needles in your arm, you didn't have a meeting in the books with these guys. It could've been a year for all you knew

  Jack Bauer : What're you saying?

  Jack Bauer : I'm trying to establish incontrovertible evidence that you did drugs as part of your cover. If I submit what you just told me it's not going to hold up

  Jack Bauer : [Yelling]  what'd you want me to say? I did drugs to get in with these people and I got in with them. No matter how difficult it's been, I don't use anymore

  Rae Plachecki : I'll write it up that way, maybe it'll "fly" but I just think you're going to have a problem because you never told anyone not even your partner, that's suspicious

  Jack Bauer : You know my history, I've had a very difficult time since my wife passed away. If I told anyone I was doing drugs to develop a case, they would've misinterpreted it. I couldn't afford that risk

  Rae Plachecki : Well, that's what they're going to do now

  Ryan Chappelle : [after turning off the recording, to Rae]  let's put down Jack started using heroin in late January, after the first meeting with the Salazar's was established

  Jack Bauer : I appreciate what you're trying to do Ryan but that's not what happened

  Ryan Chappelle : I'm just trying to save us all some paperwork

  Rae Plachecki : I'm ok with that

  Jack Bauer : I'm not. I started using in December, I've got nothing to hide. This office demands results, that's what I provide: results

• Jack Bauer : [Continuing his interview session]  look, I don't know why we have to go through this again. I already answered that

  Ryan Chappelle : [after knocking on the door]  what is it Edmunds?

  Chase Edmunds : I just want to give you an update on Nina

  Ryan Chappelle : [to Rae, referring to the video recording]  could you pause it?

  Jack Bauer : She gives us anything to run on Alvers?

  Chase Edmunds : No, there's a low probability she knew him personally: she's not cooperating

  Jack Bauer : What're we doing?

  Chase Edmunds : Richards is working on her now

  Jack Bauer : [to Ryan]  I think that's a mistake

  Ryan Chappelle : Why?

  Jack Bauer : I don't think anyone should be in there with her that hasn't worked with her before. She'll manipulate him

  Ryan Chappelle : All Richards does is inflict pain, there's no way for her to manipulate him
