Ellen Fielding and Det. Mac Taylor in “Charge of this Post”

Laptops were stolen from an agency car two weeks ago. [Mac scoffs in disbelief] Maybe we could jam the phone somehow, close down the system?

Det. Mac Taylor

It's too late for that; we have a little under ninety minutes. By the time we close down every phone, every radio, every walkie-talkie...

We can close down secure networks.

Det. Mac Taylor

It's not about the networks! Anyone can return a page! There are eight million New Yorkers, six million cell phones, any one of which could trigger the next bomb!
