Without a Trace2002
[a drop off has turned into a hostage situation, in which Sam is one of the hostages]
Paula Van Doren:
What the hell happened, Jack?
Jack Malone:
We had a drop go bad. There's a suspect across the street in a bookstore. He's holding about a half a dozen hostages.
Paula Van Doren:
And Special Agent Spade is one of these hostages?
Jack Malone:
Yes.
Paula Van Doren:
Mm-hmm. Have you achieved contact with the suspect?
Jack Malone:
[sighs] Not yet.
Paula Van Doren:
Then Drummond should step in and be the negotiator on this.
Jack Malone:
With all due respect to you and Drummond, I am knee-deep in this. I have background on the suspect. I know a lot about the person he kidnapped. I have tons of experience in hostage negotiation, not to mention the fact that there's one of my agents in that bookstore.
Paula Van Doren:
Which is what makes me doubt whether or not you have proper objectivity - particularly because it's... this agent, Jack.
[Martin looks over and appears to be eavesdropping]
Jack Malone:
[lowers his voice] Which is exactly why I should do it. Because if she tries to communicate something to me covertly, I am the best one to interpret it. I know her. Drummond doesn't.
