The owner of the cell phone connected to that number has clearly been waiting for the call, because he picks it right up and answers it as soon as it rings. I'm sure people dialing that number in real life have a much different experience. "Yes?" says the man, of whom we can't yet see anything but a mouth shrouded by a gray beard. Kiefer identifies himself and asks whom he's talking to. Instead of answering, the mystery voice smugs, "You must have exhausted all your options to find Gredenko." And also, this has stopped being a television show and become an '80s-era computer text adventure where you just happen to find shit for no reason except to advance the plot. Kiefer again asks who it is. "It's Charles Logan, Jack," says the ex-president. Dammit, I can't believe I didn't recognize his voice. Recognizing voices is my superpower. A couple of weeks ago I even recognized the voice of Kurt Fuller in a commercial. Who's Kurt Fuller, you ask? Exactly. Logan tells Kiefer, "I might be able to help you, but we need to talk face to face." He asks where Kiefer is and, upon hearing that Kiefer's near the airport, he says, "Good, you're local." Wait, don't other cities besides L.A. have airports? Otherwise how do people get there? Logan says, "CTU knows where I am. Come and see me, Jack. As soon as possible. And come alone." As the camera pulls back, we see that Logan is wearing a plaid shirt instead of an orange jumpsuit, and seems to be ensconced in some rustic setting rather than a jail cell. So the punishment for all his crimes was to become a lumberjack? Logan hangs up at 4:00:00, telling Kiefer, "I'm looking forward to it." Well, that makes one of us.
