Jack and Logan arrive at Ortega's home. Not suprisingly there are five bodyguards here. Ortega and Logan greet each other friendly, then go into another room to chat privately. Logan knows Jack is listening through a device on him. Jack observes the bodyguards. He's hoping they don't want trouble anymore than he does, but has no doubt they'll be ready if he tries anything.
.
Ortega: How are you my friend, really?
Logan: I've been better. There's something I wanted to ask you about in private. Do you know a man named Max Schmidt?
Ortega: He's an arms dealer, I've done business with him at times. I have no doubt he's also sold weapons to general Clemente.
Logan: We believe he was behind the attacks against my country. Max is trying to disrupt the Israeli-Palestinian peace. I know what it's like to do what you feel is best for your country, even when it means doing bad things. I can help you, but I need you to be honest with me.
Ortega: If I tell you something, can you keep it a secret, at least for the moment?
Logan: Yes, my friend.
Ortega: Over the past few months, there have been feelers put out between myself and general Clemente. Our war has gone for too long. We both want to end the fighting, and resolve things peacefully.
Logan: That's wonderful.
Ortega: It's not easy for an old socialist revolutionary like myself. But, as president, I must do what is best for my country. Max Schmidt however, has been trying to disrupt this proces as well, having assasinated one of my best diplomats. Believe me, if I knew where he was, I would gladly tell you.
Logan: Thank you, this has been a great help.

David is glad to have someone with this experience on his side right now. Meanwhile Jack Bauer gets Logan into their car. Once inside they discuss the situation.
.
Jack: Do you believe him?
Logan: Yes I do. I've done enough lying in my time to be familiar with the signs, and I didn't see any of that tonight. Ortega truley wants what is best for his people, even if he has to negotiate with his enemies.
Jack: Max could still be hiding in this country. Maybe a radical faction from the government or rebel army. We'll stay until we know for certain.
