Quotes 

• Jack Bauer : I think I might have a lead

  Bill Buchanan : What is it?

  Jack Bauer : Charles Logan

  Bill Buchanan : Logan?

  Jack Bauer : I just spoke to him: he says he has information Gredenko

  Bill Buchanan : How the hell did you trace this to Logan?

  Jack Bauer : My father, I need you to get me a helicopter to take me to him

  Bill Buchanan : His in his retreat in Hidden Valley under house arrest

  Jack Bauer : House arrest? How is that possible? He was involved in the murder of David Palmer

  Jack Bauer : He brokered a "closed door" deal. He pled guilty to Obstruction of justice, the public never knew of his involvement in aiding terrorists or in David Palmer's assassination

  Jack Bauer : Get me that helicopter

  Bill Buchanan : We have one in the area, it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes for it to be rerouted to your location

• Jack Bauer : [Over the phone]  I think we have a way of finding Gredenko

  President Wayne Palmer : To my understanding, we lost Gredenko: you're telling me we have a new lead?

  Jack Bauer : Yes Sir, the lead is Charles Logan

  President Wayne Palmer : Logan?

  Jack Bauer : Yes Sir, I'm with him now. He claims his Administration had dealings with Gredenko and he has a contact that will lead us to him

  President Wayne Palmer : Who?

  Jack Bauer : Anatoly Markov, his a Russian Consul in Los Angeles

  President Wayne Palmer : When we learned about Gredenko, I placed a call to the Consul myself and that's a dead end

  Jack Bauer : Not according to Logan: he wants to meet with Markov in the Consulate, in person. He says that's only way we can get the information we need

  President Wayne Palmer : Logan is under house arrest

  Jack Bauer : That's why I'm calling, we need an Executive Order granting Logan a temporary furlough

  President Wayne Palmer : Do you realize what you're asking me? Logan was behind the assassination of my brother

  Jack Bauer : Sir, I would not be calling if I didn't think this was necessary

  President Wayne Palmer : I don't trust this man: this could be some "maneuver" on his part to gain his freedom

  Jack Bauer : I understand but I think we need to take a chance on him. I will enter the Consulate with Logan as part of his security detail. Sir I believe we can trust him. I think his after "something else"

  President Wayne Palmer : And what exactly would that be?

  Jack Bauer : Redemption

  President Wayne Palmer : I have no desire to facilitate any kind of "redemption" for Charles Logan

  Jack Bauer : Right now I think his only way to find Gredenko and the bombs

  President Wayne Palmer : Put him on

  Jack Bauer : [Handing Logan the phone and sits down in front of him]  he wants to talk to you

  Charles Logan : Hello Mr. President

  President Wayne Palmer : I want to hear it from "your" lips: tell me why I should agree to this?

  Charles Logan : Because you need me Mr. President, it's as simple as that

  President Wayne Palmer : I can talk to the Russian Consul myself

  Charles Logan : Yes Sir you can do that but with all due respect, you'd be wasting your time. I have a prior relationship with Markov, we can "exploit." Again, with all due respect Sir, I have more experience with people of Markov's character

  President Wayne Palmer : You mean criminals like yourself?

  Charles Logan : I know how he thinks and that's an advantage you can't afford to ignore

  President Wayne Palmer : I want you to know this isn't going to be some move to escape custody. I will commit the resources of my Administration to hunt you down

  Charles Logan : I can assure you Mr. President that I have nothing like that in mind. Several years ago, I was in the same situation you're in and I reached out to your brother for counsel. David helped me successfully navigate through that crisis

  President Wayne Palmer : Yes he did and you repaid him by killing him

  Charles Logan : I would like to do for you what your brother did for me, I would like to help you get through this

  President Wayne Palmer : Don't make the mistake that this represents any kind of "forgiveness" on my part

  Charles Logan : I understand that Mr. President but I hope over time to earn your forgiveness

  President Wayne Palmer : Put Jack on the phone

  Jack Bauer : Yes Mr. President?

  President Wayne Palmer : I'm granting this furlough: just make it count

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  I'll do my best

• President Wayne Palmer : [Over the phone]  Logan's almost ready: we should be at the Consulate in forty five minutes, what've you got on Markov?

  Jack Bauer : We ran his name through the interagency subnet. He's a career diplomat, assigned Consul General in 1996. Prior to that, he worked in the Ministry of foreign Affairs with the Russian Federation. No red flags from NSA, Interpol, or CIA. As far as their concerned, his clean. What if Logan isn't telling the truth?

  President Wayne Palmer : We're out of options, I have to trust him

  Jack Bauer : You know we have no jurisdiction at the Consulate

  President Wayne Palmer : Just make sure you have teams ready in case Logan's lead pans out

  Jack Bauer : [Before hanging up]  alright
