Take a look right there. See? That - those vials? That's a nerve agent called Substance 33; it was developed by the Russians during the Cold War - remarkable stuff. You know, in an... end of... civilization... sort of way.

In this episode: Sydney Bristow (3), Rachel Gibson (2), Marshall Flinkman (1)
You're scared. You should be. No one is coming to rescue you.
I am an operative for the U.S. Government, so unless you want to start a war with the CIA, I would suggest–
Here's your next problem, Rachel: we're CIA.
Well, then this must be some ... big misunderstanding. If you're CIA, we're on the same side.
[to Grace] Call Langley and verify her story.
You can't. We're off-book, black ops. Langley won't verify us.
Well, that's convenient.
[to Rachel] I want to tell you a story. Just stop me if I get something wrong. You were approached in college, someplace public – the quad or walking to class. A man asked you if you wanted to serve your country. When he told you it was for the CIA, you just, you couldn't believe it. But you took the tests, and they were easy for you; they made you feel good about yourself. You probably started work at a false front, some phantom company that had you doing entry-level analysis... Maybe you wondered why you were never sent to Langley. Maybe you wondered why you weren't being trained with other recruits. Then you got promoted.
Dean took you under his wing. He convinced you that you were so important, you just had to be out there, helping him save the world. How am I doing?
You read my file.
No, I didn't. Thirteen years ago, the same thing happened to me. Only I had been lied to. What I was told was the CIA was in reality a criminal organization. I think you've been told the same lie.
