Karen Hayes
- Miles Papazian: [after walking into her office] Vladimir Bierko has regained consciousness but we're still waiting for the medical assessment to be finished before we can interrogate him
- Karen Hayes: Let me know when they give us the go ahead
- Miles Papazian: [Handing her the file] final protocol shifts: you can tell Washington the transfer authority from CTU to Homeland Security is officially complete
- Karen Hayes: [Dismissively] Ok
- Miles Papazian: Two hours ahead of schedule, that is remarkable
- Karen Hayes: I'm sorry, my head is somewhere else
- Miles Papazian: Where?
- Karen Hayes: We gave the President Bauer's location over an hour ago. We should've heard something by now
- Miles Papazian: The military is handling Bauer
- Karen Hayes: Yes I know, this doesn't make any sense: the President insisted we redirect our focus from Henderson to Bauer. We find Bauer, and then he hands the mission over to the military
- Miles Papazian: We're out of that loop
- Karen Hayes: [Sternly] why did you let Chloe escape?
- Shari Rothenberg: [after being escorted to Karen's office by security] she intimidated me
- Karen Hayes: She intimidated you? Sit down: you are in a great deal of trouble. You had better start talking to me now
- Shari Rothenberg: She said she'd recommend me for psychiatric evaluation, I'd lose my job. I'm sorry, there's something wrong with me I know that. I'd probably see someone...
- Karen Hayes: [Interrupts her] did Chloe tell you why she was helping Audrey Raines and Bauer?
- Shari Rothenberg: She thinks Jack is innocent
- Karen Hayes: Based on what?
- Shari Rothenberg: Based on an absurd idea that President Logan framed Bauer. She even said President Logan being involved in the assassination of David Palmer. I mean... can you believe her?
- Mike Novick: [Over the phone, after looking at his watch] how are things going over there?
- Karen Hayes: It's a bit of a rough transition from CTU to Homeland but we're getting through it
- Mike Novick: That's good to hear, what'd you need?
- Karen Hayes: I need some clarification: we were sent over here on a directive from the White House but we've been "exclusively" dealing with Vice President Gardener until about two hours ago
- Mike Novick: What happened two hours ago?
- Karen Hayes: The President called me himself and ordered me to arrest Jack Bauer on evidence he was unwilling to share with me
- Mike Novick: Yes, I know about that
- Karen Hayes: Have you seen the evidence?
- Mike Novick: No, actually I haven't
- Karen Hayes: Who has seen it?
- Mike Novick: I don't have a good answer to that
- Karen Hayes: Are you telling me you're not in the loop?
- Mike Novick: Actually I don't think there is a loop: the President is keeping his own "counsel" at the moment
- Karen Hayes: That's a first
- Mike Novick: Yes, it is
- Karen Hayes: Is there anything else you want to tell me?
- Mike Novick: Nothing I can say with any "authority." All I know is that it's been a strange night
- Karen Hayes: I see
- Mike Novick: I wish I could be more helpful
- Karen Hayes: [Before hanging up] no, actually you've been very helpful, thank you
