By the way, you look beautiful.
Spare me.
You know, Sydney, we should dance.
Like hell.
There was a time you trusted me.
That was before I knew who you were . . . That was before I knew who I was.
“Prelude” · Season 3
In this episode: Sydney Bristow (3), Michael Vaughn (2), Jack Bristow (2), Arvin Sloane (1), Marcus Dixon (1), Lauren Reed (1)
You killed Javier Perez, you son of a bitch!
You've just returned from a traumatic experience, Mr. Vaughn. You're understandably emotional, which would explain your baseless accusation.
You're right, I am emotional. I get that way when I see a gun pressed to my wife's temple!
Ours is a risky business.
If you ever put my wife's life in danger again, I will kill you!
Then perhaps you finally understand the moral compromises you'll make when someone you love is in danger.
Sloane gave you a key, which he claims was sent to him some time before you woke up in Hong Kong.
Yeah, his claim was pretty convincing: it was written in my handwriting.
...
Remember when I told you that during the time you were missing, I contacted your mother? That cipher text was encoded using a method that she devised.
What does this mean? That I was in contact with Mom during the two years I was gone?
If the NSC wants to find me, they will. Look, I was someone else for two years, Vaughn - someone I don't even remember. What am I supposed to do now? Spend the rest of my life in hiding?
Between that and a lobotomy, there isn't a choice!
I can't keep running forever.
I'll do everything I can to make sure you won't have to.
Vaughn, why are you doing this? My life is already a disaster ... now yours is, too.
What happened between us - everything. The way it is ... isn't anyone's fault, Sydney. And even though everything's changed, some things don't. I'm not gonna lose you twice.
Under authority of the National Security Council, Robert Lindsey has instructed me to relieve you of duty as director of this task force until he arrives to assume control.
On what grounds?
Obstruction of justice. Willingly conspiring to impede an international investigation into the murder of Andrian Lazarey.
...
These premises are to be locked down until Lindsey arrives with Federal Agents. That means, until such time, nobody leaves.
I take it you have Sydney in custody.
Not yet. But we know where she is.
