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

• Tom Lennox : [while looking at his report]  I think I've identified the "leak" sir

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Is here or CTU?

  Tom Lennox : Very much here sir, I had NSA run a "data sort" on all White House phone calls and emails over the last two and a half hours: that's when we "found out" the sub circuit board was in "play"

  Vice President Noah Daniels : And?

  Tom Lennox : During the same timeframe, one of "our" staffers, called a lobbyist: Mark Bishop three times. Now CIA "flagged" this Bishop two years ago as having "possible to likely" contact with Russian intelligence agents. No further investigation was done, due to "lack of resources"

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Which staffer are we talking about here?

  Tom Lennox : Lisa Miller, sir

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I find it hard to believe she's "working" for the Russians

  Tom Lennox : I don't think she did so "knowingly," she wouldn't have called Bishop from her phone

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I don't understand how this man is getting information from her

  Tom Lennox : Well, so far we have found credit cards records that show Ms. Miller and Bishop staying at the same hotels, on the same nights, several times over the past year, and I think if we "dig" a little deeper, we'll find more evidence that these two are sleeping together

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Then we have a "bigger problem" than you think

  Tom Lennox : Why's that sir?

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Because I'm sleeping with her too: she started working for me two years after my wife Nancy died. I didn't think I'd feel that way for another woman again but Lisa and I became "close" in the last year. We were working late one night, you understand how these "things" happen, what a fool I've been. What the hell do I do?

  Tom Lennox : You know actually sir, handled "correctly", we may be able to turn this situation over to our advantage
