Quotes 

• Charles Logan : This whole thing was meant to make our country safer, stronger. To protect our interests.

• Christopher Henderson : [Over the phone]  I haven't been able to pick up Bauer's trail yet

  Charles Logan : So he got away? And there's nothing to stop him and Wayne Palmer to go to the media with everything they know

  Christopher Henderson : Jack knows there's no point in going public until he has proof: he won't make any accusations until he has that evidence in his hand

  Charles Logan : This evidence is a recording Evelyn made of our conversation. Are you any closer in finding out where she's hidden it?

  Christopher Henderson : No Sir, not yet but she was wounded, I will find her: we're monitoring hospitals, emergency services. This is containable, I promise you

  Charles Logan : Please spare me your promises. This has all gone wrong, none of this should've happened, all these killings. This whole thing was planned to make our country safer, stronger, to protect our interests, and it all spiraled out of control. When "you" decided to kill David Palmer

  Christopher Henderson : Mr. President, what's done is done and right now we have to focus on stopping Bauer before he finds that recording

  Charles Logan : [Sternly]  no, you have to focus on it

• Charles Logan : [Over the phone]  do you know where Jack Bauer is?

  Karen Hayes : Not at the moment Sir, he was due back here thirty minutes ago to lead the Bierko interrogation: his gone off grid

  Charles Logan : I'm not surprised. I am issuing an Executive Order for the immediate apprehension and arrest of Jack Bauer. I want you to run point on this and make it CTU's top priority

  Karen Hayes : Yes Sir, for the purposes of the warrant, I'll need to know what Bauer's being charged with

  Charles Logan : His role in the assassination of President David Palmer

  Karen Hayes : But I understood he had been exonerated of that charge Sir, you yourself reinstated his credential

  Charles Logan : I know but I didn't have all the facts then: some new evidence has come to light

  Karen Hayes : New evidence?

  Charles Logan : Yes, I'm looking at it right now and I will forward it to you at the appropriate time

  Karen Hayes : Yes Sir

  Charles Logan : Obviously this is a very sensitive matter and for now I'd like you to treat the origin of this warrant as confidential

  Karen Hayes : Understood Sir

  Charles Logan : [Before hanging up]  good

• Aaron Pierce : I just got an alert that a warrant has been issued for Jack Bauer

  Charles Logan : What about the warrant?

  Aaron Pierce : Well, it's an Executive Branch warrant, I didn't issue it so it must've come from you

  Charles Logan : That's right, it came from me

  Aaron Pierce : As you put me in charge of overseeing CTU and the Homeland Security transfer, don't you think you should've discussed it with me first?

  Charles Logan : I appreciate everything you've done today but the last time I checked, I was still Commander in Chief

  Aaron Pierce : Of course Mr. President, but Jack Bauer? It doesn't make any sense: we should be treating that man like a hero. I've gone over the logs, Walt Cummings has confessed he arranged the assassination, framing Bauer

  Charles Logan : Clearly, Cummings was protecting Bauer

  Aaron Pierce : Why?

  Charles Logan : I don't know why but the fact remains I have received confirmation from intelligence sources that Jack Bauer, without question: is the shooter

  Aaron Pierce : Which "sources"?

  Charles Logan : That's enough, I'm not going to stand here and have my orders challenged. You have concerns that will sort this all out once Bauer's in custody. Does that suit you?

  Aaron Pierce : Yes Sir

  Charles Logan : [Before walking away]  good

• Charles Logan : [after hanging up the phone]  I thought you went to bed?

  Martha Logan : No, I just watched you with the press

  Charles Logan : That was Maury and he thought it went "pretty well"

  Martha Logan : But that doesn't begin to describe it: you have had to deal with more crisis today than any President in an entire term. You were magnificent

  Charles Logan : "Magnificent", I like the sound of that, especially coming from you

  Martha Logan : I'm so proud of you. I hope I didn't embarrass you too much as First lady...

  Charles Logan : [Interrupts her]  no, don't be ridiculous. I mean you walked off a couple times but nobody noticed

  Martha Logan : [Jokingly]  I'll try to find a compliment in there somehow

  Charles Logan : I'm sorry, I didn't...

  Martha Logan : [after kissing him]  I was so selfish today: you had so much on your plate, you didn't need me piling more on

  Charles Logan : No, I...

  Martha Logan : [Interrupts him]  please don't say anything, accept my apology

  Charles Logan : I do, I accept your apology
