Graem Bauer
- Graem Bauer: [Over the phone] we have a "solution" that will allow you to have the plane shot down
- President Charles Logan: I sure as hell hope so. I may be the President but there are certain protocols in place I can't just ignore
- Graem Bauer: What we're proposing will circumvent those protocols
- President Charles Logan: What is it?
- Graem Bauer: We're going to simulate a VCI distress signal: it will be broadcasted on the plane's transponder code and it will "appear" to come from Bauer's flight
- President Charles Logan: Hold on. What is a VCI distress signal?
- Graem Bauer: An emergency indicating a hijack is in progress and the perpetrators intend to use the aircraft as a weapon: it'll give you the pretext to shoot it down. There really is no other legitimate response to this "scenario." All you need to do is to "appear" to struggle with the ethics and then give the order
- Graem Bauer: [after Logan doesn't respond] you sound reluctant
- President Charles Logan: I can't believe it's come to this: I'm going to shoot down a plane filled with innocent people
- Graem Bauer: [Before hanging up] none of us is happy about this but we really don't have a choice. Bauer has evidence implicating you in this conspiracy and I don't have to tell you what the consequences will be for all of us if it's released
- Graem Bauer: [Over the phone] I've been trying to reach you
- President Charles Logan: I know
- Graem Bauer: Bauer slipped through the cordoned off zones didn't he?
- President Charles Logan: Yes
- Graem Bauer: I've just been told the Attorney General's office received a phone call from the Director of CTU: it's fairly obvious they're in possession of the recording. I think that phone call is about you
- President Charles Logan: I didn't expect it to happen so soon
- Graem Bauer: I am sorry, you don't deserve this
- President Charles Logan: Despite how things turned out, I still believe we were in the right. I still believe we acted in the best interest of this country
- Graem Bauer: And we have to "keep" putting the country's well being ahead of our own: the spectacle of a sitting President on trial for murder would be devastating
- President Charles Logan: Yes it would. Aside from the psychological damage to this country, a trial would expose realities that should never see the light of day
- Graem Bauer: [Implying Logan should commit suicide] if only we can keep a certain trial from taking place
- President Charles Logan: That thought occurred to me as well
- Graem Bauer: I'm glad we agree
- President Charles Logan: I want you to know I've taken steps to ensure that you and your associates won't be implicated in any of this
- Graem Bauer: I appreciate that: we all do
- President Charles Logan: There's nothing more to say. I'm going to hang up now, there are a few things I'd like to take care of
- Graem Bauer: Good bye
