Quotes 

• Vice President Noah Daniels : [Over the phone]  I see from the flash report President Palmer granted Charles Logan some kind of furlough? I'm curious as to what circumstances could have possibly led to that?

  Karen Hayes : Logan "claims" he can help us find Dmitri Gredenko: the man who supplied the terrorists with the suitcase nukes

  Vice President Noah Daniels : How?

  Karen Hayes : Through the Russian Consulate in Los Angeles

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Logan believes this man will know how to find Gredenko?

  Karen Hayes : He insisted on approaching the Consulate in person

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I'm frankly surprised President Palmer trusts Charles Logan to conduct any business on the government's behalf

  Karen Hayes : I believe the President's decision was informed by the fact that we have no other active leads on Gredenko

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Is Logan being supervised?

  Karen Hayes : Yes, by one of our agents Jack Bauer. Bauer's been instructed to keep him on a short leash

  Vice President Noah Daniels : You keep me posted of any progress. As soon as this "plays out", I want him placed back under house arrest

  Karen Hayes : Yes sir

• Tom Lennox : [Talking privately, referring to the assassination attempt on Palmer]  I tried to stop this

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I'd like to believe you but I'll leave it up to the Justice Department to determine your role in this as well as Assad's

  Tom Lennox : Assad? Reed was setting him up: he had nothing to do with this

  Vice President Noah Daniels : [Raises his voice]  you don't know that. It's my understanding you suggested that "others" besides Reed and this man Carson may have been involved?

  Tom Lennox : Only because Reed implied as much, I was just trying to "fair" it out who else might be involved

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Did you?

  Tom Lennox : [Shakes his head]  no

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Then it's "conceivable" that at the very least Assad may have been a "willing participant" in this attack

  Tom Lennox : [Raises his voice]  that makes no sense what so ever

  Vice President Noah Daniels : [Raises his voice even louder]  Assad was a terrorist who hated this country and everything it stands for, what better way for him to rally his people than to martyr himself by murdering the President of the United States

  Tom Lennox : [Stands up]  don't you understand that is exactly what Reed and Carson wanted this to look like? And you're playing right into it

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I am going to address the nation shortly on what's happened: until I have all the facts, I am not about to tell them that Hamri Al-Assad is innocent in this

  Tom Lennox : I see what you're doing here. By scapegoating Assad, you'll be able to reverse the President's agenda, get even more aggressive with the Islamic community. You think I don't see what you're doing here?

  Vice President Noah Daniels : [Sternly]  it's your plan, you outlined those measures yourself. I was your staunchest advocate. What has happened to the President is horrific so if there's any good to come from this is that we now have the opportunity to do we both know is the best interest of protecting this country

  Tom Lennox : You're asking a whole heck of a lot more for me to just maintain silence on Assad

  Vice President Noah Daniels : The Cabinet knows that you are the architect of the plan. If you're not on the face of it now, it may raise questions. You've come to believe the President was "correct" in rejecting your proposals

  Tom Lennox : Now I know it was the only way to stop these attacks

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Then you can "stick" to your "assertion" of Assad's "complete innocence", or I can clear you of these charges if you help me to initiate your plan, which we both know is in the best interest of this country

• President Yuri Suvarov : [Over the phone]  I was expecting to speak to President Palmer

  Vice President Noah Daniels : My apologies, I'm afraid his "unavailable"

  President Yuri Suvarov : [Surprised]  "Unavailable?"

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Sir, I am speaking on his authority, I assume you're calling about the incident at your Consulate? I assure you this man is acting on his own and not under the orders or authority of the United States government

  President Yuri Suvarov : Nonetheless: this is a gross violation of our sovereignty. If your agent does not stand down, immediately, my country will have no choice but to retaliate with the most forceful diplomatic measures at our disposal

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I understand your position Mr. President but before we you escalate this, you should understand we've learned that Counsel Markov is most likely in contact with Dmitri Gredenko: who we've linked to the nuclear attack that took place on US soil this morning. If that's true, we will look upon him as a co-conspirator in the attack

  President Yuri Suvarov : I deeply regret the tragedy that your county has experienced today but you must make these charges through proper diplomatic channels after your agent surrenders

• Vice President Noah Daniels : [Addressing the nation on television]  my fellow Americans, I regret to inform you a short time ago President Palmer was seriously injured in an assassination attempt at the White House: thankfully, he is alive and currently in stable condition. The prime suspect Hamri Al-Assad was killed in the explosion. In light of this heinous and cowardly act, compounded by the tragedy in California, I will be pushing forward an aggressive agenda of national security, one that will out of "necessity" suspend certain civil liberties. This is the price of war: make no mistake that is exactly what this is
