Alias

Emily (To Sloane): What are we doing here with a woman who died 20 years ago?

Kendall (to Jack, after Irina escapes): Let me be blunt, I accepted your recommendation to trust Derevko because you made a strong argument, a personal one, an argument that I now understand you didn't believe, or you would've never gone through the trouble of placing a passive transmitter on her, without informing me, it was my call to let her out, and I stand by that decision, but you blind sided me you son of a bitch, and your pretense of an apology doesn't do us any good.

Jack: Your mother betrayed us. Betrayed the CIA. Her meeting with Sloane was staged to secure her escape. Sydney: You don't know that. Sloane could've set up the meet to abduct her. Jack: 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.

Sydney: 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. Dixon: No one can be blamed for trusting their own mother. Sydney: I wish that she had been killed.

Sydney (About Irina): You were right to investigate her. Vaughn: Sydney... Sydney: No, it's okay. It's the truth. I'm not blaming you, it's me. I was so naive about her. Vaughn: I don't think you should be a part of this task force. Look, you know how I feel about Irina Derevko but no one should have to hunt down their own mother, no matter what the circumstances are. Sydney: She was never my mother. Vaughn: Do you want to believe that? Sydney: Don't do this to me again, don't condescend me. Vaughn: It's not what I'm doing, you know that, but if you corner her and you hesitate to pull the trigger, even for one second, it could cost you your life. (Sydney puts her glasses and ear plugs back on) Sydney: I won't hesitate.

Irina: I see through you. You must know that. Sloane: This is who I am. Irina: 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. Sloane: You need to get some rest. Irina: Never talk to me about your love for Sydney again.
