Jack implores Renee to follow up the information. And shortly Moss declares that Jack is under arrest. Jack asks Larry Moss to be given the chance to have one more go at Ryan Burnett. Jack states that he does not need to touch the man; he should be able to put enough of a scare into him by just being in the same room as Burnett.
Larry refuses. He promises that he’ll follow up on the co-conspirator theory and takes him away. Renee does not agree, and takes it on herself to approach Ethan Kanin to ask if he’ll intercede and guarantee that interrogation. Ethan sides with Renee, calls Larry, and the interrogation parade begins. But what Jack, Larry, and the FBI TAC team does not know, the parade marshal is way too many steps ahead of them.
Enter Hodges, the man behind the man behind the man. Jon Voight is bringing his own style to the villain role, a resigned sense of practical cold-bloodedness, a man who expects what he expects but will adapt quickly. He’ll be interesting to watch, along with his aid, he-who-must-not-be-named-who-does-not-seem-to-mind-getting-his-hands-dirty.
So the aid-to-Hodges reports that Jack and Co. are on their way to the hospital to see Ryan Burnett. The good news is that a bloke named Quinn is already at the hospital – ready to kill Burnett and “take care of Bauer” at the same time. Hodges is pleased, tenting his hands like Montgomery Burns.
This Quinn, he’s quite the operator. No pun intended. In his chameleon blue scrubs, complete with stethoscope, Quinn pops into see an older man who is recovering from heart surgery, quizzing the gent on his family, or lack of. He then asks if he’s a member of the NRA, The Communist Party, the IRA, a Democrat, a Republican, a Straight, a Gay, a Tastes Great or Less Filing. And when he’s heard enough, he quietly suffocates old Lonely Heart. While the staff is busy with the old man’s coding and carrying on and such, Quinn manages to grab some information from a nearby computer – a hospital map and location of Burnett.
