Quotes 

• Karen Hayes : [while in the Oval Office]  CTU is pouring all their resources into finding Cheng and this Executive Order gives them the authority to close all ports and border crossings

  Vice President Noah Daniels : We can't stop migrant workers from crossing our borders: how the hell are we suppose to stop a determined agent?

  Karen Hayes : Well, I think the point is to slow him down Sir so CTU has more time to find him but I agree Cheng will find a way to smuggle out the Russian component "eventually"

  Vice President Noah Daniels : So, then Russia loses its defense to the Chinese, and Moscow blames us?

  Karen Hayes : We will do everything in our power to do that Sir

  Karen Hayes : [after he signs the Executive Order]  thank you

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Tom told me about you and Bill: how you had to fire him from CTU, how'd he take it?

  Karen Hayes : Not well

  Vice President Noah Daniels : You and I have had our "difficulties" in the past but I want you to know I value your role here and that I appreciate your "sacrifice"

  Karen Hayes : Thank you

  Vice President Noah Daniels : [after Tom knocks and enters the room]  what is it?

  Tom Lennox : The Russian President is calling for you in the teleconference suite: his insisting on a face to face

  Vice President Noah Daniels : [Confused]  did he say what he wants?

  Tom Lennox : No, but his on with the heads of military and intelligence services

  Vice President Noah Daniels : [to Karen, referring to her and Tom]  I want both you with me on this

• Karen Hayes : [Over the phone]  the "situation" with the Russians has escalated: they know the Chinese has the component and their threatening military action unless we stop them taking it out of the country

  Nadia Yassir : How did the Russians find out?

  Karen Hayes : A leak: Tom Lennox is looking into it here and he wants you to start an investigation there

  Nadia Yassir : I'll let Internal Affairs know right away

  Karen Hayes : What about Audrey Raines? Did she provide any information that will lead us to Cheng?

  Nadia Yassir : Not yet but the psychiatric specialist from Division just arrived so we're hoping he can get her to talk

  Karen Hayes : Do you have any other leads?

  Nadia Yassir : Not at the moment

  Karen Hayes : That's unfortunate, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that we stop Cheng, if you need more resources, you need to let me know now. Do you understand?

  Nadia Yassir : I will, one more thing: to be honest, what we need is Bill Buchanan but there's a rumor flying around that you fired him?

  Karen Hayes : Well, that's "complicated"

  Nadia Yassir : Not as far as we're concerned. You know more than anyone how good he is at this job, I don't see how something like this could happen in the middle of a crisis

  Karen Hayes : [Before hanging up]  I'm not at liberty to discuss this: just keep me updated with your progress on finding Cheng
