Frank John Hughes: Tim Woods

Quotes 

• Tim Woods : [Walking through the halls of the White House and into the Oval Office]  cleanup crews are already on site and we're continuing our evacuation of a one mile radius around the chemical plant

  President Allison Taylor : Casualties?

  Tim Woods : There is in fact one casualty: the plant manager, thirteen other workers are being treated for chemical burns, inhalation of toxic fumes

  President Allison Taylor : And there haven't been any other intrusions in the firewall?

  Tim Woods : No ma'am. It "appears" the crisis has been averted

  President Allison Taylor : Except that no one's been able to explain how the firewall "break" is "engaged?"

  Tim Woods : Not yet: the FBI has no idea how it "happened", it just "happened"

  President Allison Taylor : And that's not an explanation

  Tim Woods : Perhaps Dubaku is firing another "warning shot?"

  President Allison Taylor : No, Dubaku's already shot down two planes, his not afraid to take more lives

  Tim Woods : [Nods]  in any event, we should be "grateful"

  President Allison Taylor : I'm not one to accept good news unless I know where it comes from. Until we have more answers, I want to maintain alert levels

• President Allison Taylor : What is it?

  Tim Woods : [Briefing the President with the use of a monitor]  the FBI believes they've detected where the next attack will take place: Dubaku's infiltrated a chemical plant just outside Kidron, Ohio, his causing pressure on the facility's primary tank to go critical. If the tank erupts, over three thousand gallons of Methyl isocyanate will be released into the atmosphere. Given the prevailing winds, a very large, a very toxic cloud will sweep the town

  Ethan Kanin : [to Taylor]  Methyl isocyanate is a concentrated insecticide: even brief exposure causes severe lung damage and chemical burns on the skin

  President Allison Taylor : What's our timeframe?

  Tim Woods : The tank could rupture in fifteen minutes

  President Allison Taylor : They've already begun evacuating?

  Tim Woods : We've already contacted emergency responders on the ground in Kidron, it's just not enough time to get everyone out

  President Allison Taylor : [walking towards the monitor]  Kidron's population is just over thirty thousand: this projection says we could lose over fifty percent?

  President Allison Taylor : [after Tim nods]  oh dear Lord

  Ethan Kanin : Right now our only chance of stopping this is finding Dubaku and the CIP device
