Quotes 

• Aaron Pierce : Mike, over here

  Mike Novick : [Seeing him bloodied]  Aaron, what happened to you?

  Aaron Pierce : Agent Adams just tried to kill me: President's orders

  Mike Novick : It doesn't make any sense. Where's Agent Adams?

  Martha Logan : [after Aaron opens the trunk to a car and reveal the Adams' body]  Mike, we need your help

  Mike Novick : [to both of them]  my God, the hell's going on here? The President had something to do with this?

  Martha Logan : Everything, he was involved in everything that's happened today. Supplying the terrorists with the nerve gas, the murder of David Palmer

  Mike Novick : Walt Cummings?

  Martha Logan : Walt was their scapegoat. He didn't commit suicide, he was murdered by a man that works for Charles. Charles told me to be quiet for the good of the country: keep my mouth shut, I can't do that anymore

  Mike Novick : Do you have proof?

  Aaron Pierce : Jack Bauer was in possession of a recording that implicated the President. That's why Logan was willing to go so far to shooting a plane full of people down because Jack was on it

  Mike Novick : Where is this recording?

  Aaron Pierce : It's been destroyed. I didn't want to believe it either but it's the truth so help me God

  Mike Novick : Alright, if this is true, we're going to need to find another way to make a case against the President

  Martha Logan : Your right, first we have to get Aaron off the ranch. There can't be a record of it

  Mike Novick : We need to move fast, I know the man at the western gate well, he won't stop and inspect the vehicle if I'm driving

  Martha Logan : Thank you Mike

• Jack Bauer : [Over the cell phone]  I know this is an unusual request but I've been trying to reach Aaron Pierce, I've been trying to reach him on his cell but his not answering

  Mike Novick : [after turning the phone on speaker]  Aaron's here with me right now

  Mike Novick : It's alright Jack, you can speak freely in front of Mike: he knows what I know

  Jack Bauer : Aaron, where are you?

  Aaron Pierce : Few miles from the ranch

  Jack Bauer : What happened?

  Aaron Pierce : The President tried to have me killed but Mrs. Logan saved my life. She and I decided to bring Mike into this

  Mike Novick : I'm still trying to process everything they told me: it's a real mess Jack

  Jack Bauer : Mike, I'm calling Aaron because I need his help, I need yours too

  Mike Novick : Help with what?

  Jack Bauer : Bringing President Logan to justice

  Mike Novick : Aaron said the recording you had implicating the President has been destroyed, is that true?

  Jack Bauer : Yes

  Mike Novick : Without it, you can't mount a case

  Jack Bauer : Not if I can get a direct confession from Logan. I'm working with someone inside CTU, their setting up a digital uplink, if I can get Logan to acknowledge everything that he's done today, it's going to be all the evidence we need

  Mike Novick : Jack, if you intend to physically coerce the President of the United States...

  Jack Bauer : [Interrupts him]  Mike, we need to do this now. The longer we wait, the more vulnerable we are, President Logan tried to take me out, just like he did Aaron. I don't need to remind you that he was responsible for David Palmer's assassination and a terrorist attack on this country's soil. He cannot be allowed to remain in Office, not for one more day

  Mike Novick : How long will it take for you to get here?

  Jack Bauer : Twenty minutes

  Mike Novick : That's too late: President Logan will be gone. His leaving for Washington around that time

  Jack Bauer : You have to try to delay him

  Mike Novick : I'm not sure I can do that

  Jack Bauer : Mike, just tell me you'll try

• Jack Bauer : [Meeting privately]  good to see you, was Mike able to delay the President?

  Aaron Pierce : His trying but he had to ask Mrs. Logan for some help

  Jack Bauer : The First lady knows what we intend to do?

  Aaron Pierce : She does

  Jack Bauer : Can she be trusted?

  Aaron Pierce : She is with us: a hundred percent

  Jack Bauer : Can you still get access to the Secret Service deployment grid?

  Aaron Pierce : I already have, the way security's been "beefed up" around the main building, there's no way you're going to be able to get Logan alone there

  Jack Bauer : Is Marine One going to take him to the airfield?

  Aaron Pierce : No, this was last minute. Their transporting him by a "reduced detachment", their using a Navy helicopter

  Jack Bauer : That's why this has to happen, I need to get on that chopper

  Aaron Pierce : I don't see how that's possible

  Jack Bauer : You get me as close as possible to that chopper and we'll figure it out from there

  Aaron Pierce : Alright, let's go
