Recap

Bierko's goon flushes the nerve gas from the submarine's atmosphere so that they may breathe without the gasmasks on. Bierko starts the missile launch sequence and informs his men he's identified 12 high value targets - financial centres, transportation hubs and high population density areas. What they accomplish today will be remembered by their countrymen forever...

Episode Quotes
Christopher Henderson: One other thing, if I'm going on that sub with you, I need a firearm.
Jack: I'll cover you.
Christopher Henderson: Well, that's what I'm worried about. I don't go anywhere undefended against hostiles.
Jack: I still consider you a hostile.
Christopher Henderson: Jack, I don't get a gun, I don't go in.

Jack: You need to kill him without alerting the others. Are you right-handed or left-handed?
Petty Officer Tim Rooney: I'm right-handed.
Jack: I want you to approach him from behind, when you're within eighteen inches, I want you to take your left hand, put it on his mouth, pull his head back into your chest exposing his neck and then I want you to take your right hand and slit his throat.
Petty Officer Tim Rooney: I-I don't, err... I don't know if I can do this.
Jack: You don't have a choice, son. You need to focus on the objective. You cannot afford to think about this, son. You need to do it.

Jack: You are responsible for the deaths of David Palmer, Tony Almeida and Michelle Dessler. They were friends of mine.
Christopher Henderson: That's the way it works.

Jack: I'm not coming back to CTU, I'm going after Logan.
Chloe: What do you mean going after Logan?

President Logan: Thank you, Mike. For everything. It's been a hell of a day.
Mike Novick: Yes, sir. It has.

Mike Novick: Mrs. Logan, have you been...
Martha: No, Mike. I've never been more sober. Or more sane.

Graham: But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that's the end of all our problems - there's still Bauer to deal with.
President Logan: Don't worry, Mr. Bauer will be taken care of.

Agent Aaron Pierce: It's probably safer if we don't have any contact.
Martha: Goodbye, Aaron.
Agent Aaron Pierce: Thank you.

Mike Novick: I'm still trying to process everything they told me, this is a real mess, Jack.
Jack: Mike, I'm calling Aaron because I need his help, I need yours, too.
Mike Novick: Help with what?
Jack: Bringing President Logan to justice.

Jack: (to Mike) 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!

Bill: Morris? You're bringing Morris back?
Chloe: Yes.
Bill: Why, Chloe?
Chloe: Because I'm still trying to salvage something from the recording that Miles erased. If anyone can do it, it's Morris.
Bill: I didn't think Morris was even on the government payroll anymore.
Chloe: He's not.
Bill: What's he doing?
Chloe: He's selling women's shoes in Beverly Hills.
Bill: What?
Karen Hayes: Is this a joke?

Chloe: What are you doing?
Morris O'Brian: Just making your people more efficient.
Chloe: I noticed you picked the most attractive one.
Morris O'Brian: Wrong. You're the most attractive one.

Chloe: Can you do that without talking?
Morris O'Brian: I could but it would be a terrible waste of my charm.
Chloe: Okay, I'm not listening anymore.

Martha: Confront him? Will he hurt him?
Mike Novick: Jack Bauer will do whatever it takes to compel your husband to confess the truth. He's the only one I know who can do this.

Martha: I said some horrible things to you.
President Logan: I've had horrible things said to me before. And by you. But there was one thing you said that I can't get over.
Martha: What?
President Logan: That I broke your heart. And that you hated me.

Martha: The truth is, even though sometimes I don't understand you, I still need you. And I still love you. And that will never change, Charles, not tomorrow, not ever.
President Logan: I need you, too, Marty.

President Logan: I can't.
Martha: Yes, you can. You're the President.

Mike Novick: Jack, if Logan doesn't confess, how far are you actually willing to go?
Jack: As far as I have to.
