- Aaron Pierce: [President Logan has Aaron held hostage] There is nothing that you have said or done that is acceptable to me in the least. You're a traitor to your country and a disgrace to your office. And it's my duty to see that you're brought to justice.
- Aaron Pierce: [Logan stares silently] Is there anything else... Charles?
- Karen Hayes: [after they enter the Situation room] we're minutes away: what's your status?
- Chloe O'Brian: Everything is set up. I've got a T-1 line to the Attorney General, the other two lines are secured under dedicated channels
- Jack Bauer: What other two lines?
- Bill Buchanan: We're conferencing a representative from the House Judiciary Committee and congressional liaison: we need their support to call an emergency session of Congress to begin impeachment proceedings
- Jack Bauer: Impeachment proceedings? What about an arrest warrant?
- Bill Buchanan: We'll never get Justice to indict a sitting President. We're moving him from offices as a necessary step to begin full criminal prosecution
- Karen Hayes: Alright Chloe, check the sound levels, play the recording
- Jack Bauer: [after they hear static] what's wrong?
- Chloe O'Brian: I don't know
- Jack Bauer: What'd you mean you don't know? Where's the recording?
- Chloe O'Brian: This is what's on the digital media
- Jack Bauer: That's impossible: see if there's an overlay, check your connections
- Chloe O'Brian: There are no mistakes
- Jack Bauer: Damn it Chloe, you were responsible for this recording. What the hell happened?
- Chloe O'Brian: I just told you I don't know but if there was something on this memory chip, it's been erased
- Jack Bauer: Someone got to that recording
- Karen Hayes: Perhaps it was damaged in your attempt to retrieve it?
- Jack Bauer: It wasn't. Chloe, who had access to this room?
- Chloe O'Brian: No one
- Jack Bauer: [Raises his voice] someone did: who had access to this room? Think about it
- Chloe O'Brian: Miles was in here
- Karen Hayes: What?
- Chloe O'Brian: You sent him in here to check up on me while I was setting up
- Karen Hayes: I never sent him in here
- President Charles Logan: [Referring to having Aaron beaten and tied to a chair] I'm sorry about this. Listen to me, you think you know what's going on, I'm here to tell you
- Aaron Pierce: Then why don't you explain it to me?
- President Charles Logan: I understand Jack Bauer led you to believe there was a recording: something that "tied" to David Palmer's murder. That recording does not exist
- Aaron Pierce: That's not what I've been told
- President Charles Logan: You're not hearing what I'm saying. The recording... does... not... exist. It's over, you have a choice here, you are a good man, and you are a fine agent. I see no reason to throw away your career but I need to know we can put this behind us. If you will give me your word that you will let this drop, I will make sure you are reassigned to whatever post you want, except for the White House of course so what's it going to be? Are my terms acceptable?
- President Charles Logan: [Over the phone] what's this I hear about a conference call you scheduled with the Attorney General? Is there some problem I should know about?
- Karen Hayes: [Over the speakerphone as Jack listens] it's nothing Sir: it's a mistake. The conference call was canceled
- President Charles Logan: Good, I'm glad to hear that. Listen, the real reason for my call is Jack Bauer
- Karen Hayes: What about Jack Bauer?
- President Charles Logan: I'm embarrassed to say after further review, it appears the evidence against him is at best inconclusive, I'll have our lawyers continue to work on it of course but for the time being I'm suspending the arrest order
- Karen Hayes: You're dropping the charges against Bauer?
- President Charles Logan: That's correct
- Karen Hayes: You have had this office, other agencies, and the military dedicate all man power and resources into apprehending Jack Bauer
- President Charles Logan: Yes, based on evidence I initially thought was creditable. Now I have new information that's convinced me the original Intel was faulty
- Karen Hayes: Am I to release Bauer Sir?
- President Charles Logan: [Before he hangs up] I'll leave that to your discretion. Thank you, good work, we'll be in touch
- Jack Bauer: His letting me go because he knows his won
- Karen Hayes: What does he gain by releasing you?
- Jack Bauer: I'll be on my own: alone, unprotected, a perfect target
- Graem Bauer: [Over the phone] I confess I didn't expect to hear from you again
- President Charles Logan: The situation's changed: everything's under control. The recording's been destroyed so it's no longer a problem
- Graem Bauer: That's very good news, what about the people that have already heard it?
- President Charles Logan: They can't do anything without proof. I don't think any further action needs to be taken
- Graem Bauer: Then can we assume you've got the rest of your house in order?
- President Charles Logan: By that you mean my wife? Yes, she's cooperating fully. As for Aaron Pierce is another matter, I've taken care of that
- Graem Bauer: Of course, what about Jack Bauer?
- President Charles Logan: I've already given Karen Hayes authority to release him: the "arrangements" that we discussed about taking him out have already been set in motion
- Graem Bauer: It appears you have everything well in hand
- President Charles Logan: Yes, I said I would handle it and I have. The situation's contained, there's nothing more to worry about
- Mike Novick: I just got off the phone with Karen Hayes: Vladimir Bierko has escaped
- President Charles Logan: What? How?
- Mike Novick: The caravan transporting him to District was ambushed
- President Charles Logan: Damn it. I thought we "rolled" Homeland Security into CTU was to avoid screw ups like this?
- Mike Novick: There's more Sir, they have reason to believe Bierko is "reading" another attack
- President Charles Logan: What kind of attack?
- Mike Novick: CTU is working on that now
- President Charles Logan: I want constant updates: you keep me apprised on their progress
- Mike Novick: Yes Sir
- Christopher Henderson: [while in an interrogation room] since you're clearly no longer a fugitive, I assume they've retrieved that recording
- Jack Bauer: Someone got to it and erased it. I'm not here to talk about the recording, Bierko escaped about half an hour ago, his going to carry out another attack
- Christopher Henderson: I'm sure he will: you bruised the man's ego when you stopped his first attempt
- Jack Bauer: You know him, you know how he thinks. You studied him before you set up this deal, what's he going to do?
- Christopher Henderson: Why should I help you?
- Jack Bauer: You call yourself a "patriot", prove it. These terrorists are going to attack the country you love. Because you betrayed them, why don't you help me put out the fire you started?
- Christopher Henderson: They sent you in here to broker a deal, didn't they? What's the offer? Full immunity? That must be just eating you up inside
- Jack Bauer: What'd you think? You are responsible for the murder of people I care about
- Christopher Henderson: I am sorry about David Palmer, I am but what I did was in the interest of the destiny to this country. I'm not talking about the version you read about on the op-ed of the New York Times, I'm talking about the politics of survival. The way the world really works
- Jack Bauer: You want immunity or not?
- Christopher Henderson: Immunity is worthless: that recording was my only "immunity", they give me a piece and when I walk out of here I'm a dead man. Two days, two hours, who cares? They're going to take me down
- Jack Bauer: Who's "they"?
- Christopher Henderson: Same people who made Walt Cummings look like a suicide. Come on you can't think Charles Logan masterminded all by himself?
- Jack Bauer: Give me the names
- Christopher Henderson: You can't touch them but they can touch you. I'll help you catch Bierko but not for an immunity deal, I need something more and you're the only person that can make it happen
- Jack Bauer: What'd you want?
- Christopher Henderson: To disappear, just like you did so they wouldn't turn you over to the Chinese, except I'm not going to make your mistake, I'm going to leave the country and take Miriam with me
- Jack Bauer: You don't need my help for that
- Christopher Henderson: Actually I do, all of my contacts are still loyal to the President. I need someone I can trust to cover our tracks. I need someone who can do a better job unlike the incompetents who failed to covers yours
- Jack Bauer: What makes you think I'm not going to kill you the second this is over?
- Christopher Henderson: Because you're going to give me your word and I know what your word is worth to you so it's all I need
- Jack Bauer: Let's say I agree to this, anything less than Bierko's head on a plate, this deal is off
- Christopher Henderson: Fine, now Bierko's going to hit hard: so you better think fast
- Audrey Raines: I just heard about the recording: has it really been destroyed?
- Jack Bauer: President Logan managed to get to it
- Audrey Raines: My God
- Jack Bauer: We have a more "immediate" problem
- Audrey Raines: Bierko, I heard he escaped. That's why I came back out here, I was thinking I could help. Why is Henderson coming out of holding?
- Jack Bauer: We're using him to help us find Bierko. Karen made a deal, she gave him immunity
- Audrey Raines: What? How could you let this happen? You know what that man has done
- Jack Bauer: We didn't have a choice: Bierko is our number one priority, we know his planning another attack, without Henderson's help, we won't find him
- Jack Bauer: That was LAPD command: they've combed the area, they can't find any witnesses
- Karen Hayes: None?
- Jack Bauer: 4am in the middle of a curfew, there was simply no one there
- Bill Buchanan: Then we've got nothing
- Karen Hayes: We've got Henderson
- Jack Bauer: What about him?
- Karen Hayes: Henderson set up Bierko with the nerve gas to begin with
- Jack Bauer: No, we've already been down that road and you know that
- Bill Buchanan: That was about protecting Logan. If Henderson says his a patriot as he says he is, his not going to want those terrorists to succeed
- Jack Bauer: [to Karen] trust me, you're wasting your time: his not going to help us
- Karen Hayes: He will if we offer him a deal
- Jack Bauer: And that's not going to happen
- Bill Buchanan: Jack...
- Jack Bauer: [Sternly to Bill] no, not this time, not this man
- Karen Hayes: We're running out of options here. This is about saving lives, not indulging a grudge
- Jack Bauer: You think this is about a "grudge"? He killed an ex-President of the United States. He tried to kill the Secretary of Defense, you want this man to walk with full immunity?
- Bill Buchanan: It's not about what anyone wants. It's about doing what needs to be done: nobody understands that better than you. Bierko is going to kill innocent people, Henderson might be our only chance to stop him. What would David Palmer want you to do if he were here? The best way to honor his memory is to make the choice to save others
- Jack Bauer: Obviously, I can't stop you from doing this. If you're going to give him a deal, at least let me present it
- Jack Bauer: [to Jack after he enters the Situation Room] what do we have?
- Karen Hayes: Henderson gave us fourteen names he believes Bierko is going to contact first: Chloe is doing a phone and pulling up relevant data
- Karen Hayes: [to Bill] is tactical standing by?
- Bill Buchanan: They're on priority alert. I put Curtis Manning in command if that's alright with you?
- Karen Hayes: I trust your judgment
- Jack Bauer: [to Karen] security's getting ready to bring in Henderson in here for a debrief
- Jack Bauer: [to Bill and Karen after noticing Audrey walking past the Situation Room, before leaving to talk to her] excuse me one second
- Karen Hayes: [to Chloe, while in the Situation Room] alright, what do we have?
- Chloe O'Brian: Out of the fourteen names on list, only one has an active cell phone: Joseph Malina
- Christopher Henderson: Joseph Malina is an arms dealer, he used to be a military contractor until they accused him of selling secrets, they couldn't prove anything, so he beat all the charges
- Jack Bauer: You know him?
- Christopher Henderson: Well enough. I did business with him before and after he was arrested
- Karen Hayes: [to Chloe] what do you have on him?
- Chloe O'Brian: Malina got a twelve second call on his home phone at 4:03am from a payphone in Van Nuys, not far from the ambush site. a minute later, the same payphone got a call back from a GSM SAT phone
- Bill Buchanan: In other words, he took the phone number down and called from an untraceable line: sounds like our guy
- Karen Hayes: [to Bill] tell Curtis to mobilize his tactical team
- Christopher Henderson: Hang on. Now what good is that going to accomplish? If your bring Malina in here, you think his just going to roll over on Bierko? He didn't cut a deal when he was busted before, his not going to cut a deal now and even if you can crack him, I don't think you can, you're going to need hours. You don't have hours
- Jack Bauer: [Sternly] what do you "suggest"?
- Christopher Henderson: I "suggest" you send me in to talk to Malina, I'll find out what Bierko got from him
- Jack Bauer: I don't think so
- Christopher Henderson: [to Jack] don't be stupid, you know you can't get anything out of this guy, his computer makes this place look like an internet café: his got the most absolute most sophisticated state of the art security system including a Phoenix Shield
- Bill Buchanan: We can get through it
- Chloe O'Brian: Not a Phoenix, it has a poison code firewall, any attempt in circumventing it the hard drive does a "cold" erase at which point, you can forget about retrieving any data
- Karen Hayes: [to security, referring to Henderson] take him back to holding
- Joseph Malina: What's so important that it couldn't wait? What're you looking for?
- Christopher Henderson: [while in Malina's home] is there another way out of here?
- Joseph Malina: What're you talking about?
- Christopher Henderson: Secure your cash and your files: anything you can't do without
- Joseph Malina: Why?
- Christopher Henderson: Because there's an entire faylink of CTU agents outside including an ex-agent named Jack Bauer. Now Bauer's "running" me, I cut a deal with him but I know this guy's going to kill me the first chance he gets
- Joseph Malina: You bastard, you brought them here
- Christopher Henderson: He was coming here anyway so secure your files, crash the system, stop wasting time, and do it
- Martha Logan: Charles lied to me: he said you had been transferred to Washington. That Agent Adams, my husband ordered him to kill you didn't he?
- Aaron Pierce: Yes ma'am, I'm sorry to tell you the President was involved in much more things than that
- Martha Logan: I know I was going to let him get away with it: all of it. I was going to keep quiet. We have to do something
- Aaron Pierce: I'll hide the body, I'll get him into the trunk but I can't drive it out of here. The President has to believe I'm dead. I need to lay low: keep out of sight
- Martha Logan: I can do it
- Aaron Pierce: No
- Martha Logan: Yes I can drive it
- Aaron Pierce: No, you need to get back inside the residence. Your husband can't suspect anything has gone wrong, you need to find Mike Novick
- Martha Logan: Mike?
- Aaron Pierce: Tell him everything, tell him to meet me here
- Martha Logan: Ok, promise me if something goes wrong, if you're in danger of being caught, you will find a way off these grounds, and you will leave. Promise me
- Aaron Pierce: You have my word
- Russian henchman: We can't do much damage with one canister of nerve gas.
- Vladimir Bierko: You're so wrong.
