- Julian Sark: I recently learned that Sydney Bristow murdered a father I never had a chance to know. I suspect you have your own reasons for disliking her; therefore I'm confident that you'll relay this information to the appropriate parties.
- Arvin Sloane: There was a time you trusted me.
- Sydney Bristow: That was before I knew who you were... That was before I knew who "I" was.
- Michael Vaughn: You killed Javier Perez, you son of a bitch!
- Jack Bristow: You've just returned from a traumatic experience, Mr. Vaughn. You're understandably emotional, which would explain your baseless accusation.
- Michael Vaughn: You're right, I am emotional. I get that way when I see a gun pressed to my wife's temple!
- Jack Bristow: Ours is a risky business.
- Michael Vaughn: If you ever put my wife's life in danger again, I will kill you!
- Jack Bristow: Then perhaps you finally understand the moral compromises you'll make when someone you love is in danger.
- Julian Sark: I understand your investigation into the Lazarey murder has hit a dead end. What a pity.
- Lauren Reed: How do you know about that?
- Julian Sark: I know because I framed Javier Perez, assuming he'd be extradited to the United States, and that once he was in custody, he'd be forced to confess what he knows... namely, the identity of Andrian Lazarey's murderer.
- Jack Bristow: Sloane gave you a key, which he claims was sent to him some time before you woke up in Hong Kong.
- Sydney Bristow: Yeah, his claim was pretty convincing: it was written in my handwriting.
- Jack Bristow: 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.
- Sydney Bristow: What does this mean? That I was in contact with Mom during the two years I was gone?
- Sydney Bristow: 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?
- Michael Vaughn: Between that and a lobotomy, there isn't a choice!
- Sydney Bristow: I can't keep running forever.
- Michael Vaughn: I'll do everything I can to make sure you won't have to.
- Michael Vaughn: You should go.
- Sydney Bristow: Vaughn... why are you doing this? My life is already a disaster... now yours is, too.
- Michael Vaughn: 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.
- Lauren Reed: Under authority of the National Security Council, Robert Lindsay has instructed me to relieve you of duty as director of this task force until he arrives to assume control.
- Marcus Dixon: On what grounds?
- Lauren Reed: Obstruction of justice. Willingly conspiring to impede an international investigation into the murder of Andrian Lazarey.
- Lauren Reed: These premises are to be locked down until Lindsay arrives with Federal Agents. That means, until such time, nobody leaves.
- Marcus Dixon: I take it you have Sydney in custody.
- Lauren Reed: Not yet. But we know where she is.
