President Charles Logan : [Over the phone] you need to cancel the "action" against Henderson immediately
Graem Bauer : Why?
President Charles Logan : He has the recording but his made "arrangements" to have the recording released if anything happens to him
Graem Bauer : You should've exercised more control over him
President Charles Logan : There's a limit on how much I can do
Graem Bauer : Apparently
President Charles Logan : Don't you use that tone with me: we both made mistakes today
Graem Bauer : Your right, my apologies but the fact is we have a bigger problem than Henderson
President Charles Logan : What? What're you talking about?
Graem Bauer : At least he can be trusted to act rationally in his own interests. Unfortunately it's not true of your wife
President Charles Logan : My wife?
Graem Bauer : Apparently there's a Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce, knows a little more than he should and he intends to share that with Martha
President Charles Logan : I'm well aware of that and have taken steps to deal with Pierce
Graem Bauer : But the real problem is Mrs.. Logan: she continues to talk, to ask questions, and talk about her suspicions
President Charles Logan : People don't take her seriously, they think she's unstable
Graem Bauer : There are too many "loose ends" lying around. We cannot afford to have her pull on one and unravel everything
President Charles Logan : You think I don't realize that?
Graem Bauer : I think you are in a very difficult position and you've been hoping this situation with Martha would resolve itself but it hasn't. You must silence her
President Charles Logan : I know but I'll handle this myself

President Charles Logan : [Over the phone] is Bauer dead?
President Charles Logan : What happened?
Christopher Henderson : All it matters is I have the recording
President Charles Logan : Have you destroyed it?
Christopher Henderson : No Sir, I have not
President Charles Logan : Why? What's the problem?
Christopher Henderson : Actually I'm making sure there won't be any "problem"
President Charles Logan : I don't understand
Christopher Henderson : I may need "protection", that recording gives it to me
President Charles Logan : "Protection"?
Christopher Henderson : Yes Sir
President Charles Logan : Do you mean from me? That's absurd
Christopher Henderson : With all due respect, it isn't absurd. As evident by Walt Cummings' "suicide"
President Charles Logan : That was different: you told me yourself that was necessary
Christopher Henderson : And I'm assuming one day others will tell you the very same thing about me
President Charles Logan : You and I have been in this from the beginning. Destroying that recording protects both of us
Christopher Henderson : I'm sorry, I give you my word it'll be kept in a very safe place and will only be made public if I should meet in some "accident"
President Charles Logan : This is completely unnecessary
Christopher Henderson : [Before hanging up] I'm sure it is Sir, and again, I am a very cautious man

President Charles Logan : Calm down alright? Aaron's fine. I just transferred him back to Washington that's all
Martha Logan : In the middle of the night? It doesn't make any sense, and why am I locked in this room?
President Charles Logan : Because we need to talk
Martha Logan : About what?
President Charles Logan : I've been wanting to tell you this but I told myself you were too fragile to handle it but that's not the truth. The truth is I kept this from you is because it's horrible and because it's ugly
Martha Logan : What're you talking about?
President Charles Logan : What happened to David Palmer wasn't supposed to happen: he put himself in harm's way and he got involved in something he shouldn't have
Martha Logan : What're you saying?
President Charles Logan : That I never authorized his death
Martha Logan : You mean you know who killed David?
President Charles Logan : Yes
Martha Logan : How do you know that?
President Charles Logan : [Referring to the assassin] he works for me
Martha Logan : What?
President Charles Logan : It's very complicated. There's an explanation
-
Martha Logan : You lied to me. Everything- this whole day has been one giant lie! What you've done makes me sick!
President Charles Logan : Martha, enough! I know that what I did... what I allowed to happen, was a mistake. It was a terrible mistake. But it's done. Right now I need you to swear to me that you will do as I ask for the country, Martha.
Martha Logan : I've forgiven you many things, Charles. But not this. You've broken my heart. I'm looking at you, and I hate you. But I will keep my mouth shut because the people in this country don't deserve to suffer. You do, Charles. You do.

President Charles Logan : Martha, do you realize how traumatic this would be for the country, if people were to find out?
Martha Logan : [sarcastic] "Oh yes, we're worried about the *country*..."
President Charles Logan : Damn it, Martha! That's the most important part of this! This scandal would destroy the American people's faith in their government. It would destroy our credibility all over the world.
