Mr. Vaughn, you're young and you're eager, and I understand that. But one thing you're not, and this is something only time can provide really, is wise.

[Marshall uncovers a big red inflatable chair]
Want to have a seat? I got a minor form of scoliosis, so the air ergonomically hugs me. Oh, you want to stretch out? I can inflate the couch.
I'll stand.
The irony is they never lied to me about what would happen if I told someone. It was the one thing they said that turned out to be true. Now I'm a double agent for the C.I.A. and I will be until SD-6 is gone.
Shephard killed Danny. I'm sure you know that already.
If I didn't, thanks for breaking it to me gently.
S1Time Will Tell
How do I look?
For the record, that's a question you never have to ask anyone.
Lie detector test.
I studied the C.I.A. instruction book on how to take a successful LDT.
This isn't like that. This test monitors variations in blood flow in the brain. It's very difficult to deceive. Tell your handler Vaughn he needs to prepare you for this. If he can't, he'll get someone who can.
[Reading from a book] "Laura, all my love, forever and a day. Jack." That's not, like, your dad Jack, is it?
Yeah.
Wow. That's uncharacteristically sweet of him.
I know. He actually has a heart, which I'm learning little by little.

And on the eve of your first front-page story, you suddenly get cold feet.
What are you saying? What are you saying? I made this whole thing up? Look, I swear to God, the only reason I didn't want this story to run is 'cause I don't want to hurt Sydney Bristow. That's it.
BBoss
You're a talented writer, Will, but I promise you, if anything like this happens again the only thing you'll be inventing are facts on your résumé.
You know that sound you're hearing, you know, that boom? That's my mind blowing.
S1Mea Culpa
We both are. We're both doing our job. And I look at Sydney Bristow's test results -- I don't see a single spike. She didn't falter once.
DDreyer
She's guilty. She's the one.
I think that's a dangerous accusation made by a desperate man.
DDreyer
I'm not desperate, Mr. Sloane. But I am curious why you feel the need to defend Miss Bristow?
[holding a gadget] Okay, now, this thing sucks...literally. Sucks all the information from the computer hard drive right into the internal flash RAM.
I always knew there was something about you, from the first time I saw you.
A lot can change in seven years.
It's been a lot longer than seven years. I've known your father since 1971. I met him at Langley. I knew your mother. I went to your parents' wedding. Sydney, I've known you since you were a baby. I was out of the country for most of your childhood, various operations, but I kept tabs on you. I checked in on you in my own way. I always thought of you as my daughter, even from the beginning. Well, I just wanted to let you know...before you went away.
Okay, okay, whatever, it sucks, all right? But it's why I wanted to become a reporter. I saw this when I was a kid and I loved it. And I was just like, I don't know, all the quick...
Repartee.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it just looked fun. You know, being a reporter looked fun. But it's not. It's not fun. It's a pain in the ass.
DVDisguised Voice
[On the phone] You have questions about Kate Jones. How far are you willing to go, Mr. Tippin? I need to hear the words "I'm ready."
Why? Why? Could my life be in danger?
DVDisguised Voice
Say the words.
Yeah, I'm in. I'm ready.
S1Spirit
I need you to tell me what's happening!
SSteven
You didn't hear this from me. [Pause] While Sydney and Russek were in Geneva, a transmission was recorded from her location and it was not one of ours.
You think it was Sydney?
SSteven
This is not the first indication that she might be working for someone else.
