The idea that the CIA is willing to work with Irina Derevko is insane.
Worse, it's naive. Your mother didn't just conveniently turn herself in. This is all part of the manipulation.
Well, she's their problem now. She's not yours. And she's not mine.
“Trust Me” · Season 2
In this episode: Sydney Bristow (4), Jack Bristow (3), Michael Vaughn (1), Irina Derevko (1), Director Kendall (1)
Just so we're clear, Mr. Vaughn, I know all about your participation in busting Agent Bristow out of federal custody. Convince her to talk to her mother, or face charges of obstructing justice and harboring a fugitive.
Guess it's two-for-one day on blackmail.
She told me to pull the alarm.
Yes, and for all you know, that could've made things worse. Sydney, you're smarter than this. Your mother wants you to think she's your ally. That she can help you get what you want. Her intel might even be accurate once, twice, but the minute you start depending on her, she will gut you.
[Referring to Irina] Sydney, she is the enemy.
And so is Sloane. And if the devil herself wants to help me bring him down, fine by me.
Let's get something clear. You are not my mother. My mother was Laura Bristow. Laura Bristow died in a car accident twenty-one years ago. You are a traitor and a prisoner of the United States government. [Irina looks away] Look at me! We will interact only when necessary. You will address me as "Agent Bristow" and answer only the questions I ask. There will be no personal anecdotes, no comments about my job performance, no condolences or congratulations. Do you understand me? [pause] Do you understand?
Yes... Agent Bristow.
