Gregory Itzin: President Charles Logan

Quotes 

• President Charles Logan : I don't see where any of this becomes your business, Mike.

  Mike Novick : I'll tell you where, Mr. President. I'm your Chief of Staff - if there's something going on that I don't know about that involves national security, it is my business.

  President Charles Logan : This isn't national security, Mike - it's our marriage.

• Graem : [Over the phone]  have they found Bauer yet?

  President Charles Logan : No, they haven't

  Graem : That's not good

  President Charles Logan : I know that's not good, I'm putting pressure everywhere I can

  Graem : I don't think I have to tell you how disastrous it would be if Bauer gets his hands on that recording

  President Charles Logan : That's exactly right: you don't have to tell me, I know. When I find him, I will call you. Is there anything else?

  Graem : No

  President Charles Logan : [Before hanging up]  good

• President Charles Logan : [Over the phone]  I just got word from the FAA about a "hijacking" aboard a diplomatic flight that left Van Nuys half an hour ago

  Graem : So what?

  President Charles Logan : Jack Bauer is the hijacker

  Graem : What's he doing on that plane?

  President Charles Logan : Looking for the recording that implicates me in David Palmer's death: Henderson handed it off to someone before he was arrested: Jack must know his on board

  Graem : You shouldn't be wasting your time talking to me. Order that plane down and grab Bauer before he can hurt us

• President Charles Logan : [Over the speakerphone, as Mike stands nearby, referring to the flight number]  talk to me about 520

  Karen Hayes : We know Bauer's involved but we don't know why

  President Charles Logan : Isn't it obvious Bauer's a fugitive and looking for safe passage out of the country?

  Karen Hayes : That's certainly a possibility Sir

  President Charles Logan : Listen to me, this man is desperate, he will say anything or do anything, his not to be trusted. we need to take him down now: dead or alive

  Karen Hayes : Yes Sir

  President Charles Logan : You call the pilot, tell him I don't care if Bauer is making threats or not, that plane has to land immediately. When it lands, I want my Secret Service to take him into custody, is that clear?

• Mike Novick : This still doesn't make sense to me

  President Charles Logan : What?

  Mike Novick : Jack Bauer has been on the right side of everything that's happened today: up until now

  President Charles Logan : Right now he is hijacking a plane. This man is not stupid, his "appeared" to do the right thing but right now his backed into a corner and his desperate

  Mike Novick : Do you really believe that Sir?

  President Charles Logan : I absolutely do. Bauer's lied to us all day, his played us all for fools
