TV show quotes
Marshall? I'm Michael Vaughn. Welcome to the CIA.
[smiles nervously] Heard that one before.
[smiles] Well, this time it's for real. [gestures for Marshall to turn] We have a desk set up for you.
[turns] Syd!
How are you?
I'm fine, except every few moments I fight the urge to weep openly. But that's normal, right?
Hello?
Congratulations, Sydney. You have so many things to celebrate today. I, myself, am still coping with the pain and disappointment of learning that you and Jack were double agents. The two people I trusted most in the world.
...
You don't really think it was a coincidence that I happened to be away these past two weeks, do you? The intel that you acquired that allowed the CIA to take down the Alliance -- I provided that. My involvement with the Alliance is merely a means to an end.
Why are you telling me this?
Because knowing that I'm alive is going to tempt you to come after me. Don't. We've helped set each other free, Sydney. And as much as I wish you well, I will end your life if you get in my way.
...
[On the phone] Our first honest conversation, Sydney, and you have nothing to say?
Listen to me, you son of a bitch! You have been a plague on my life. You repulse me! Every time I sat across from you, listening to your lies, all I could do was fantasize about slashing your throat!
How long have you known?
Two years. I wanted to tell you so many times, but I was ordered not to. The CIA had no way to verify what I knew in my heart was true -- that you would never consider working for a man like Arvin Sloane.
We were partners. You lied to me, then chose to tell me the truth when it was convenient for you. I never want to see you again.
[to Sloane] The CIA has a hit list. Thirty-five people worldwide its agents are allowed to kill. Thirty-five out of six billion. You're one of them. Which means when I kill you, I won't even be breaking the law.
Can it wait?
Apparently not, he wants Sydney too. Are you with her?
Uh ... No. I haven't seen her.
You're in bed with her right now, aren't you?
I'm trying... just find out what he wants.
You said everyone in the radius was affected, even people who were taking cover?
Yeah. Well, there's no defense against this kind of energy. It goes through walls, concrete, steel, everything.
There's no shield.
No. Sorry. Oh, um, I should probably also tell you that, um, this kind of energy knocks out computer circuitry. Which means if it's pointed at the sky, it could take down planes.
I'm out.
Sydney's in trouble.
Respect my decision.
I can't do that. Not when your decision may cost Sydney her life. You wouldn't tell Sydney how you infiltrated Kabir's so she found an alternate way in using what turned out to be faulty intel. She was captured and unless we find another confirmed access point, no one will be sent in to get her out.
We may never have a better chance to get Sloane. Remember, without Irina's help, the operation in Kashmir would have been an embarrassment.
Jack, when the hell did we switch places? Derevko could be using this operation just to convince us that she's trustworthy.
I've had twenty years to reflect on that woman's ability to deceive. Trust me. If she lies to me again, I'll know it.
I wanted to see you because... it's going to be dangerous, setting this trap. I hope it goes well but there's no guarantee. So whatever happens, there's something I need you to know. Sydney, I love you.
Mom--
You don't have to say anything. I'm pretty sure I haven't earned very much, and that's okay. This was just something I needed to say.
What is this about? I'd appreciate a little context here. You haven't even given me your name.
I'm Mitchell Yeager, I'm counter-intelligence threat analyst. That should give you a little context. I've been sent here to investigate Michael Vaughn. It's come to our attention that over the past three months, Mr. Vaughn has been in contact with a number of unapproved foreign operatives. He's also actively pursued contact with Mr. Pograski, who happens to be a former KGB assassin known to have ties with at least three terrorist organizations.
...
Listen to me, there is not a chance that he is a traitor, that he would be collaborating with an enemy.
You know, I knew your mother. About twenty years ago, met her with your father. We used to go to a lot of these agency functions, you know. She was, uh, charming. Very disarming woman... who wasn't what she seemed.
Look, there is something you don't know about me. I don't like it when people question my loyalty. It makes me insane.
This isn't about loyalty. I never said anything about loyalty.
When you ask me if I'm keeping secrets, the suggestion's pretty clear.
And you know what? Secrets will be a problem between us. After everything we've been through, you should know that.
Research? What kind of research?
It's something private. Something just for me.
Who do you think you work for? Nothing is private. You're being investigated.
...
I had to find out if she was deceiving us again. I mean, I could not sleep at night knowing I was doing nothing. That somehow, I was helping her.
And did you find anything?
Nothing. She's clean.
Your mother betrayed us. Betrayed the CIA. Her meeting with Sloane was staged to secure her escape.
You don't know that. Sloane could've set up the meet to abduct her.
Before the operation, she swapped the Rambaldi manuscript. She left us with a fake. She and Sloane are now in possession of the original. Sydney, they planned this.
My mother's earrings. They found a note she left. She wanted me to have them. Just now, when my dad was telling me, the first thought I had was that she was dead, that she'd been killed. I had this whole thing in my head that she died proving herself a hero.
No one can be blamed for trusting their own mother.
I wish she had been killed.
I see through you. You must know that.
This is who I am.
You may need to think of yourself as an honorable husband, a father figure, but I don't. I will never see that man in you, which frankly is why we have this agreement.
You need to get some rest.
Never talk to me about your love for Sydney again.
