Quotes 

• Tom Lennox : [Referring to conference call between Daniels and Suvarov]  well, that did not go well: not that I expected much good will from Suvarov

  Karen Hayes : I just got off the phone with Jack Bauer

  Tom Lennox : I thought he was under arrest?

  Karen Hayes : He is but he called me

  Tom Lennox : [Implying she should tell him more details on the phone call]  ok, he called you?

  Karen Hayes : Yes and his convinced his father will to get the boy and the circuit board

  Tom Lennox : How is going to do that? We can verify the authenticity of the board before we hand over Josh. you think Jack's concerns are warranted?

  Karen Hayes : Absolutely, his Philip Bauer's son and his been more right than we have today

  Tom Lennox : Point taken there: alright, let's say we refuse to give up Josh, which is the only thing Philip Bauer seems to want and how do we get the circuit board?

  Karen Hayes : Well, if you don't have any ideas, I might?

  Tom Lennox : If your plan involves keeping Daniels in the dark...

  Karen Hayes : [Interrupts him]  he won't listen to me but if you...

  Tom Lennox : [Interrupts her]  my relationship with the Vice President is complicated at best. I can't be seen making any run arounds around him. But I promise I won't be looking your way if we do

• Tom Lennox : [after entering the Oval Office]  sir, Melinda said you read the flash regarding CTU's "attempt" to make the exchange? We're still trying to track the water craft Philip Bauer's men used to escape: they've no success yet

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Suvarov is expecting my call to confirm that we've "retrieved" the component

  Tom Lennox : My advice is to give CTU a few more minutes before we call the Russians, we can still get lucky on this

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Karen was right

  Tom Lennox : Yes sir, she certainly was

  Vice President Noah Daniels : And I was wrong: not just about Karen but about Wayne Palmer. I judged his performance as President unfairly but what he "faced" these past weeks was an impossible situation. Maybe he was right to reach out to Assad? I don't know anymore. You know it's easy to think you've got all the answers but ultimately the responsibility lies with you but then sitting in this chair, until you sit in this chair, you don't know anything. You can't know

  Tom Lennox : Sir, the fact that Karen was right, you might want to "reconsider" your punitive stance towards her

  Vice President Noah Daniels : My decision might've been wrong but I can't condone that kind of insubordination

  Tom Lennox : Sir you do not want the fact that you disagreed with Karen made public and that's exactly what will happen if you prosecute her. After this crisis has passed, Karen Hayes and Bill Buchanan can retire quietly into their country home in Vermont, you will be honoring her service: it's just a better outcome all around

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I'll take your advice into consideration but right now I need a real time update on CTU's progress

  Tom Lennox : [Before leaving]  alright sir
