Charles Logan : [Through video conference as Mike and Walt stands nearby] not to diminish the loss we're all feeling right now but I am expecting the Russian President very soon, so let's say what needs to be said
Bill Buchanan : Of course Sir
Charles Logan : Have you arrested the person who did this?
Bill Buchanan : Not yet Sir
Charles Logan : Then what do you have?
Bill Buchanan : Sir, the damage inflicted by the single shot indicates President was hit by a 308 caliber bullet: fired from an adjacent building. We've initiated an interagency protocol Level 5...
Charles Logan : [Interrupts him] don't give me protocols, give me results. Whoever did this, I want them dead or in custody by the time the Russians get here
Bill Buchanan : Yes Mr. President, until we know more, I would ask you postpone the signing of the treaty Sir?
Charles Logan : [Adamantly] no, absolutely not
Bill Buchanan : Mr. President, we can't discount the possibility this attack is somehow connected the arms agreement: a former President was assassinated fifteen miles from where you are and I'm sure I don't need to explain the significance of this day
Charles Logan : Do you realize what kind of political and economic capital I've spent just to get the Russians to come to the table? If I call this off, they won't come back

Martha Logan : The reason I needed to talk to you
Charles Logan : What is it? Go ahead
Martha Logan : I think David was killed because of something he was going to tell me
Charles Logan : What're you talking about?
Martha Logan : He called me yesterday: he said he wanted to meet with me
Charles Logan : Meet with you about what?
Martha Logan : He said it concerned national security and it involved you
Charles Logan : Me?
Martha Logan : Yes
Charles Logan : What else did he say?
Martha Logan : That he would explain more when he saw me
Charles Logan : If this was so important, why wouldn't he call me himself?

Charles Logan : Except through you
Martha Logan : You don't believe me
Charles Logan : I didn't say that
Martha Logan : You didn't need to
Charles Logan : Martha...
Martha Logan : I am not making this up, I am not crazy, and I am not a fool

Martha Logan : You will?
Charles Logan : Yes
