I know how this feels.
Not exactly. You've had a lot longer to make sense of this than I have.
There was a time when this was news to me, too. Your mother was sent to the United States to steal secrets from a ranking officer of the C.I.A. How she and I happened to meet, how she supposedly fell in love, I thought it was all true. But it was just a set-up.
[Talking to Vaughn about her mother] There's this woman, her personality like a collage I've put together from the photographs, the few memories I have, scraps of stories I've heard, the clothes of hers I've got, her books, and none of it's real. She wasn't that woman at all. She was -- she was a horrible person, who killed your father. Vaughn, I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry.
But another part that sucks is seeing guys you worked with, guys you thought were tougher than deer jerky... tortured to death. That's no good.
Dad, wait. You are not doing this.
Of course I am.
No, you're not. You're going to have to crawl through a maze of airshafts, get to Marshall's office, get the scrambler, get to the vault room and scramble the code all in under ten minutes. I mean, no offense, but Dad, I am doing this.
You give us the codes, I won't have to open the box...which will be really excellent for you.
I can't be the first person to have difficulty taking you seriously, can I?
You're going to give me the combination to the SD-6 vault and if you don't, I'm going to open this box. And Arvin, trust me when I tell you, you do not want me to open this box.
