- [to President Logan]
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: I know what you did, I know what you're doing, and I'm here to put an end to it.
- Jack Bauer: [to Christopher Henderson, who is holding Audrey hostage] Why are you doing this? Why are you protecting Logan?
- Christopher Henderson: I'm protecting something much more important than Charles Logan...
- Jack Bauer: What?
- Christopher Henderson: The integrity of our government!
- Jack Bauer: Our government has no integrity!
- President Charles Logan: [Over the phone] is Bauer dead?
- Christopher Henderson: Not yet Mr. President
- President Charles Logan: You said your men "had him"
- Christopher Henderson: Bauer triggered the bank alarm: authorities came before we could get to him. Bauer used the fire fight to slip away
- President Charles Logan: He has the recording?
- Christopher Henderson: Yes Sir
- President Charles Logan: That evidence directly implicates me in David Palmer's death
- Christopher Henderson: Only if he gets it to someone who can do something about it, I'll have Bauer before that happens
- President Charles Logan: How?
- Christopher Henderson: Mr. President, you've established direct control over CTU and CTU is heading up the search effort for Bauer
- President Charles Logan: You're putting an awful lot of faith in their ability
- Christopher Henderson: This city is locked down: CTU will find Bauer and when they do, make sure you're the first to know so my men can intercept
- President Charles Logan: [Over the phone] where are we?
- Karen Hayes: [while Miles standing nearby] still running active manhunts on Jack Bauer and Christopher Henderson
- President Charles Logan: I told you to "prioritize" Bauer
- Karen Hayes: I have Sir. I've allocated my resources accordingly
- President Charles Logan: David Palmer's killer is still at large. When the morning news cycle begins, all the success we've had handling these terrorists will be undermined
- Karen Hayes: I will find Bauer Sir
- President Charles Logan: You let me know the moment you do
- Karen Hayes: [Before hanging up] yes Mr. President
- Miles Papazian: Bauer right? Audrey Raines, she knows where he is and those protocols aren't going to be enough to track her
- Karen Hayes: You still think Chloe helped Audrey break surveillance?
- Miles Papazian: I'm sure of it. Remember, Audrey "insisted" Chloe be assigned to her
- Karen Hayes: Then we need to confront Chloe
- Miles Papazian: No, she'll just deny it. There's a way we can use her to find Bauer
- Jack Bauer: [after playing the digital recording for Heller] President Logan supplied the terrorists with the Sentox nerve gas
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: What?
- Jack Bauer: His plan was to deploy the nerve gas on route to Moscow: that way he could expose the terrorists and use them as an excuse to invoke the military terms of the agreement that he made earlier with Suvarov. This is all an effort to gain control of the oil supply in Central Asia. David Palmer found out about it, that's why they killed him
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: How do you know that recording hasn't been fabricated?
- Jack Bauer: I trust the source. I promise you this will stand up under scrutiny
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: [Shakes his head] I wish I could say I was surprised but I'm not. I watched Charles Logan "rise on the tide" on his own ambition, I was terrified when he took The Oath
- Jack Bauer: Sir, I'm very sorry that I had to involve you but I need someone who had "access" to hand deliver this over to the Attorney General
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: So you contacted me?
- Jack Bauer: You're the only one I could trust
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: [after Jack hands him the recording] alright then
- Mike Novick: You should try to get some rest
- President Charles Logan: Yes I know I should try to get some rest: what is it you want?
- Mike Novick: I just got the phone with General Warren who's running military operations here in Los Angeles
- President Charles Logan: Why would you be talking with him?
- Mike Novick: Karen Hayes over at Homeland raised a few good points, I thought I'd follow up on
- President Charles Logan: What "good points"?
- Mike Novick: She doesn't understand why she was taken out of the loop on this Jack Bauer situation
- President Charles Logan: I really don't care what Karen Hayes understands: she should be doing her job and not bothering my advisors asking questions that diminish my authority
- Mike Novick: Be that as it may, I did follow up and now frankly, I'm a little mystified with some things
- President Charles Logan: What things mystify you?
- Mike Novick: You told Homeland you wanted the military to pick up Jack Bauer but I just spoke with General Warren and his unaware of any such directive
- President Charles Logan: Because I didn't go through General Warren
- Mike Novick: May I ask who you did go through?
- President Charles Logan: [Sternly] let's get one thing straight, I don't answer to you
- Mike Novick: Of course not Sir
- President Charles Logan: However I will tell you this: I've decided to use a "covert" task force to bring in Jack Bauer and the reason I'm doing that is because Bauer "presents "special circumstances"
- Mike Novick: "Special circumstances?"
- President Charles Logan: I want this completely off the radar
- President Charles Logan: [after Mike is silent] the Chinese government may still believe Jack Bauer is dead. If they find out his alive, they're going to blame us, they're going to "accuse" us of fabricating the story of his death
- Mike Novick: Wouldn't we be keeping the circle smaller if we let Karen handle this? Her people already know about Bauer, working under a secretive mandate
- President Charles Logan: You know what? I am tired of being second guessed, I've been dealing with this wall to wall crisis's for the last eighteen hours and I think I've done a pretty damn good job of leading the country
- Mike Novick: Of course
- President Charles Logan: You came in here suggesting I get some rest? That's the one recommendation I intend to take. Thank you
- Bill Buchanan: [Meeting privately, after Jack introduces Wayne and Bill to each other] what the hell is going on here?
- Jack Bauer: The military authority, every law enforcement agency in the country has a warrant for my arrest
- Bill Buchanan: What for?
- Jack Bauer: Killing David Palmer
- Bill Buchanan: That's impossible: we cleared you this morning
- Jack Bauer: I'm being set up again, this time by President Logan. He was complicit in David Palmer's assassination
- Bill Buchanan: By now, it's serious
- Jack Bauer: Logan's using the military to try to stop me from exposing him
- Wayne Palmer: [to Bill] we have the evidence: a digital recording of a conversation between President Logan and Christopher Henderson
- Jack Bauer: [to Bill] I need to get the recording to Secretary Heller. His going to take it to the Attorney General, and file for the warrant but until that Wayne's a target. I need you to take him somewhere safe
- Bill Buchanan: Of course I will
- Bill Buchanan: [to Jack] where are you going to meet Heller?
- Jack Bauer: Van Nuys Airport
- Vice President Hal Gardner: What's up Mike?
- Mike Novick: I just got a call from Karen Hayes at CTU: do you know about the President's decision to pull them off on the acquisition of Jack Bauer?
- Vice President Hal Gardner: No, but what's the problem?
- Mike Novick: The problem is it doesn't really make any sense, Karen's teams are closer, and they can do it more efficiently. Bauer's more likely to cooperate with them than with a group of military police he doesn't know
- Vice President Hal Gardner: Well, Karen and her team has got CTU on its feet. I'm sure the President just feels more "confident" with the military units already in place because of Martial Law: what do you want me to say? It's the President's call. I can see it both ways
- Jack Bauer: [During a standoff with Henderson, on the integrity of their government] not like someone like Charles Logan occupying the Presidency. You can make this right: you can help me stop him
- Christopher Henderson: [while holding Audrey hostage] sorry, now throw me the recording
- Jack Bauer: I'll give you the recording if you let Audrey go
- Christopher Henderson: I wish I could believe that
- Jack Bauer: I give you my word
- Christopher Henderson: I'll tell you what, I'll meet you "half way"
- Jack Bauer: What does that mean?
- Christopher Henderson: [after Henderson lets her go, as she walks towards Jack] that's far enough Ms. Raines
- Jack Bauer: [Noticing Audrey is leaving a trail of blood] what've you done to her?
- Christopher Henderson: The left tracheal artery: she has about three minutes before she bleeds to death, now throw me the recording
- Audrey Raines: Jack don't
- Christopher Henderson: She's fifteen seconds closer to dying. Give me that recording
- Audrey Raines: Jack don't do it
- Christopher Henderson: She's running out of time
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: [Over the phone] thank you for taking my call
- President Charles Logan: You said it was urgent?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: I need to see you Sir
- President Charles Logan: See me about what?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: I'd rather speak to you in person
- President Charles Logan: Fine, but I won't be back to Washington for a couple of days
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: I'm in LA. I need to see you tonight
- President Charles Logan: Tonight?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: Yes Sir
- President Charles Logan: What is this about?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: I'll be there shortly and we can discuss it then
- President Charles Logan: [Sternly] I don't like your tone. In case you've forgotten, you're addressing the President of the United States
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: I know who I'm addressing and I think you know what this is exactly about
- President Charles Logan: When will you be here?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: Five minutes
- President Charles Logan: [Before hanging up] fine
- Miles Papazian: [after entering a holding room] we traced your call to a public payphone at Van Nuys Airport. If Audrey Raines is at that location, you're in a lot of trouble
- Chloe O'Brian: This situation is more complicated than you think: you have no idea what you're dealing with
- Miles Papazian: But you do?
- Chloe O'Brian: Yes
- Miles Papazian: Then why didn't you tell me?
- Chloe O'Brian: Because I can't
- Miles Papazian: You think the rules don't apply to you because you're smarter than the rest of us? But I have news for you: they do and you're not. I won't miss you when you're gone
- Chloe O'Brian: Jack Bauer did not kill President Palmer
- Miles Papazian: He's a federal fugitive wanted for the murder of a former President, which means you're going to jail for a long time
- Chloe O'Brian: I don't think you're a big of a jerk as you pretend to be
- Shari Rothenberg: What're you doing? Your suppose to be in custody
- Chloe O'Brian: Miles let me out
- Shari Rothenberg: You're a worst liar than I am: you helped Audrey Raines break surveillance
- Chloe O'Brian: Yes, I did it for a good reason. I can't get into it right now
- Shari Rothenberg: But I don't think you have a choice
- Chloe O'Brian: Listen to me for a minute. Jack Bauer did not kill President Palmer: he knows who did it, he may need my help to prove it and I can't help him if I'm in custody
- Shari Rothenberg: Then why don't you just tell Karen?
- Chloe O'Brian: Because she won't believe me, nobody will. Not without evidence, it's President Logan
- Shari Rothenberg: What're you talking about?
- Chloe O'Brian: The evidence Jack is trying to get implicates Logan in the assassination of David Palmer
- Shari Rothenberg: That's ridiculous
- Chloe O'Brian: Your sexual harassment charge against Miles, I know you were lying: your sick and you need help. If you try to stop me and it turns out I'm right about Jack which I am, I will recommend you for psychiatric evaluation, you won't like that, trust me
- President Charles Logan: [after Heller doesn't shake his hand] I thought you said this was important?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: I know what you did, I know what you're doing, and I'm here to put an end to it
- President Charles Logan: You have to be a little more specific
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: You are responsible for the murder of David Palmer
- President Charles Logan: That's outrageous
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: I heard a recording: a conversation between you and a man named Christopher Henderson. When Palmer found out about your insane plan, Henderson had him killed, and you let it happen
- President Charles Logan: Where is this recording?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: It's in a "safe place"
- President Charles Logan: I would like to hear it
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: Why? You know exactly what you said and so do I. it's burned into my memory
- President Charles Logan: How dare you stand there and judge me. You have no idea. Until you sit in my chair, you don't know what the hell you're talking about
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: Your chair is not a throne
- President Charles Logan: I'm protecting the interests of our country
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: You mean oil?
- President Charles Logan: [Raises his voice] yes, this country needs energy more than you or anybody in this gridlock government cares to admit: we'll see how you judge me when the cost of oil goes up over a hundred dollars a barrel and the people who put me in Office can't afford to heat their homes or run their cars
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: And you think that justifies the blood on your hands?
- President Charles Logan: What do you want?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: I want you to drop the trumped up charges against Jack Bauer and leave my daughter alone
- President Charles Logan: Anything else?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: Announce your resignation by tomorrow morning: blame it on the crushing stress of today's events or blame it on whatever you want. Just as long as you go public by the start of the morning news cycle
- President Charles Logan: And then what?
- Secretary of Defense James Heller: The recording will be kept under lock and key and this will remain between us. Call Vice President Gardener, I want him to be here when you hand him your letter of resignation
