Frank John Hughes: Tim Woods

Quotes 

• Tim Woods : [Over the phone]  this is Tim Woods with Homeland Security

  Chloe O'Brian : Hold on, I'll put you through to Mr. Hastings

  Tim Woods : Uh, no I'm actually calling to speak with you

  Chloe O'Brian : Me? Are you sure?

  Tim Woods : I know this is an unusual circumstance, I'll get straight to the point: President Taylor and the foreign dignitaries are returning to the UN shortly with the intent to move forward with the signing of the peace agreement

  Chloe O'Brian : What? Excuse me, but how can she do that without President Hassan?

  Tim Woods : I'm not at liberty to say just "yet." Our immediate concern is whether CTU is capable of "handling" security for the rest of the process? It's already been infiltrated by an enemy agent, compromised more than once today: we cannot have any more mistakes

  Chloe O'Brian : [Nervously]  are you "suggesting" I'm responsible for those mistakes?

  Tim Woods : On the contrary, I reviewed the hourly reports and what I see is that you made some astute calls, you've proved to be very useful throughout this crisis

  Chloe O'Brian : Ok... so why are you calling me?

  Tim Woods : I'm relieving Brian Hastings of his post: effective immediately. We're not in the process of vetting suitable candidates to replace him but until we find someone, you'll have provisional command

  Chloe O'Brian : [Confused]  you're... putting me in charge?

  Tim Woods : For the time being, I know your record at CTU, started at LA branch, how important during the Sangala crisis, there's nobody in that building with more experience than you do

  Chloe O'Brian : [Sternly]  sir, you're making a mistake: what happened with President Hassan and everything else, it wasn't Mr. Hastings' fault

  Tim Woods : I don't have time debate this with you. Division feels you're the most qualified to step in and I agree. My decision's made now accept it and let's move on

  Chloe O'Brian : Does Mr. Hastings know?

  Tim Woods : Division's informing him as we speak. Just the transition as quick and painless as possible, I'll be in touch as soon as the President arrives at the UN

  Chloe O'Brian : [Before Woods hangs up]  yes sir
