Mike Novick : [Before hanging up his cell phone] thank you, I'll let the President know
President Charles Logan : What is it? What's going on?
President Charles Logan : [after Mike is silent] who was that?
Mike Novick : Agent Pierce, I don't know how to tell you this Sir...
President Charles Logan : [Interrupts him] just tell me
Mike Novick : Mrs. Logan is riding with the Suvarovs
President Charles Logan : What're you talking about?
Mike Novick : Sir, she got into their limousine
President Charles Logan : Oh my God, didn't the Secret Service try to stop her?
Mike Novick : There was no reason to stop her: the motorcade is under Secret Service escort. As far as their concerned, she's not in any danger
President Charles Logan : She wants me to call back the motorcade, she's trying to save the Suvarovs
Mike Novick : Should I alert them?
President Charles Logan : Yes! Stop... wait, if we warn them, the terrorists are going to set off the gas. Where are they now?

Mike Novick : [after hanging up the phone] that was Secret Service
Mike Novick : [while pointing to surveillance monitor] as you can see the motorcade continues to make its way to the airport: without incident
President Charles Logan : There won't be any warning. When these people attack, they will be fast and they will be merciless, you can count on that. I have to talk to this man, maybe convince him to hold off
Mike Novick : Hold off?
President Charles Logan : Just until Martha gets out of the car: she wasn't supposed to be a part of this in the first place
Mike Novick : [Referring to Bierko] I don't that would change his plan
President Charles Logan : [Yells] he has to know my wife's in the car
President Charles Logan : I can't lose her
Mike Novick : The only way to keep Martha safe is to for me to call Secret Service and tell them to turn the motorcade around
President Charles Logan : What about CTU? Do they have active leads on the nerve gas?
Mike Novick : As of five minutes ago, they don't have anything that would help our situation
President Charles Logan : [Yells] what am I missing? There's got to be some way out? Something I'm not seeing?
Mike Novick : You're not missing anything: any action we take to save Martha would also save the Suvarovs and if that happens, the terrorists will release the gas. Unfortunately, it's that simple

Mike Novick : The motorcade is only fifteen minutes from the airport
President Charles Logan : My father always told me "life is about problem solving." Every problem has a solution: you tell me where the "solution" is on this one
Mike Novick : [Shakes his head] I don't have an answer but if you want the Suvarov motorcade, to turn back, I need to do it now
President Charles Logan : We know the terrorists are willing to kill civilians and the low end of the casualty range on this is a hundred thousand lives
Mike Novick : Yes Sir
President Charles Logan : Before, I couldn't "risk" all those lives just to save one man, the Russian President. I can't risk all those lives now, even to save my own wife. "Damn you Martha, for putting me in this position, you brought it on yourself"
President Charles Logan : [Stands up from his chair and kneels] pray with me
Mike Novick : Mr. President, with all due respect, this is a personal matter
President Charles Logan : [Before Mike kneels down next to Logan] please
