Quotes 

• Michael Vaughn : Look, I don't like it any more than you do, but if Listening to him, helps us get the bomb back, I can live with it.

  Sydney Bristow : Even if your right, what if Anna gets away?

  Jack Bristow : Sark has agreed to lead us to Ushek San'ko, the leader of CRF. We believe San'ko can provide operational intelligence that will allow us to stop Anna, and recover the weapon.

  Sydney Bristow : When do we leave?

  Jack Bristow : He has however made a demand which involves you.

  [Looks up at Vaughn] 

  Jack Bristow : He wants to exhume your wife's body.

  Michael Vaughn : Fine, let him.

  Jack Bristow : That's not all, Sark has demanded that you open her coffin for him.

  Sydney Bristow : No!

  Jack Bristow : Agent Vaughn?

  Sydney Bristow : You can't order him to do this?

  Jack Bristow : I'm not ordering, I'm asking. Sark's participation leading us to CRF, stopping Anna is dependent...

  Michael Vaughn : I'll do it.

• Sark : This is where you keep her?

  Michael Vaughn : For national security reasons, some bodies are not allowed a public grave. In this case, we didn't want Laurens death to become public knowledge.

  [Laurens metal casket is coming out of the wall] 

  Michael Vaughn : This make you feel better, watching this happen?

  Sark : It gives me hope, that I can still achieve closure.

  Michael Vaughn : Guys like you don't believe in closure. That would actually require you care about something.

  Sark : Perhaps that's true. Perhaps all I can hope for is a moment for us all to share; you, me, her. I'm letting go of all pretext in subterfuge, we can finally admit the truth. Your wife loved me. Not even death can change that. Do it, open it.

  Michael Vaughn : You want your moment, take it.

  [He opens the casket] 

  Michael Vaughn : [Sark begins to unzip her top]  Stop!

  Sark : My agreement, Mr. Vaughn, allows for this.

  [Sark examines at Laurens bullet holes] 

  Sark : Perfect triangular pattern, consistent with CIA training. It was you. You did this.

  Michael Vaughn : Yes, I did.

  Sark : I'll take you to CRF, but I want you to face what you did, I want you to look at her.

• Michael Vaughn : Sark gave us the contact protocol, to meet the CRF. It's a coded message in the classified ads. If all goes as he says it will, we should have a response by the evening edition.

  Sydney Bristow : Then what, you and I go in alone?

  Michael Vaughn : You mean is it a glorified date?

  Sydney Bristow : That's not what I meant, but is it?

  Michael Vaughn : No not exactly, we've gotta take Sark with us. He insists we won't get through the front door without him. So we rely on the explosive tracking device we put in his neck. If he tries to burn us, in any way, um, sabotage, escape, whatever...

  Sydney Bristow : We take him out.
