- Michael Vaughn: Syd, we do missions like this all the time.
- Sydney Bristow: Not on our own. Not rogue. My father wants us to bring this in to APO.
- Michael Vaughn: You talked to him again?
- [pauses, Sydney nods her head]
- Michael Vaughn: Yeah, well your father and Sloane, will never let me keep technology like this for myself. And besides I don't trust them. I don't trust anybody; except you.
- Sydney Bristow: Then what do you suggest?
- Michael Vaughn: We come clean with APO, like your father wants, we draw up a mission that will get us Nightingale, and then we run a counter mission.
- Sydney Bristow: Like the old days...
- Michael Vaughn: Our stated goal is to retrieve the coil.
- Sydney Bristow: But instead we keep it for ourselves.
- Michael Vaughn: The only problem is, there's no way we can make a duplicate. We won't have time to make a fake one.
- Sydney Bristow: So we have a plan B.
- Michael Vaughn: [Sydney is freed from the reactor chamber and she meets Vaughn in the hall way with the coil] Sydney... You okay?
- Sydney Bristow: Yeah, I'm fine.
- [Sydney hands the coil to Vaughn]
- Sydney Bristow: Plan B?
- Michael Vaughn: I hate this...
- Sydney Bristow: Vaughn... Are you sure?
- [They kiss]
- Michael Vaughn: I love you!
- Sydney Bristow: Yeah, still?
- [They smile and nod at each other]
- Sydney Bristow: [Vaughn punches Sydney, she falls to the ground and gets back up, her lip is bleeding] Remember what you promised.
- Michael Vaughn: I'll let you know when I get there.
- [Vaughn runs off]
- Sydney Bristow: This will be fun, no toys from Marshall, cell phones instead of coms.
- Michael Vaughn: Yeah, and all we have to do is get Dietrich alone. Convince him to show us his files on Nightingale.
- Sydney Bristow: I can get him alone.
- Michael Vaughn: No I'm fine, thanks, I'll help.
- Eric Weiss: Oh boo hoo, I'm going to go up north and drink wine for two days, while my friends stay here and work.
- Michael Vaughn: It's called accumulated vacation man, use it or lose it.
- Sydney Bristow: So you'll water the plants...
- Nadia Santos: Got it.
- Sydney Bristow: And you'll send out the...
- Nadia Santos: Sydney, go have a good time.
- Eric Weiss: You know what; we could actually drive up and meet you guys.
- Michael Vaughn: Ahh
- [He looks at Sydney and pulls her closer to him]
- Sydney Bristow: We're busy...
- Michael Vaughn: Yeah...
- [He smiles]
- Eric Weiss: You gotta eat; one meal?
- Michael Vaughn: Yeah, that's what room service is for...
- [Sydney half hugs Vaughn and they both happily grin]
- Michael Vaughn: [answers cell phone] Hello
- Roberts: Say it's Weiss
- Michael Vaughn: What?
- Roberts: Tell your girlfriend that it's Weiss, if you want to know about your father.
- Michael Vaughn: [to Sydney] It's Weiss
- Roberts: You got lucky in Munich, but Nightingale won't answer your questions. Only I can. Sherwood library; UCLA campus, get there in an hour, the library will be closed, but the side door will be open.
- Michael Vaughn: [Vaughn looks distraught and stumbles over his words] Oh... yeah, alright, I'll see if I can.
- Roberts: What I have is for you alone, if you tell your girlfriend, she'll be dead by the time you get back.
- Michael Vaughn: [Opens book to find a syringe with a note that reads, Inject Me] You've gotta be kidding me!
- [He walks away and throws the book in the trash. His cell begins to ring immediately after, he answers it]
- Michael Vaughn: Listen if you think I'm going to inject myself, you're out of your mind!
- Roberts: If I wanted you dead, I'd kill you right now. You want to know about your father, I'll give you two minutes to do the right thing.
- [Vaughn looks around the library. Walks over to a sofa, and sits down. He spends a minute rubbing his head looking very conflicted. Grabs the syringe and injects himself]
- Michael Vaughn: [to Roberts] Are you out of your mind?
- Roberts: I'm not the one who injected myself with an unknown substance.
- Jack Bristow: Sydney!
- [Sydney and Jack embrace]
- Sydney Bristow: I couldn't stop him. It was Vaughn, he took the coil. I couldn't stop him dad.
- Marshall Flinkman: I didn't shut down that reactor at all.
- Jack Bristow: That's impossible!
- Marshall Flinkman: No it isn't. The printouts, listen, it is physically impossible for me to shut down that reactor from a remote location. I mean given its particular status. It would have to be shut down manually but that's impossible too, because that you mean that someone, that that's
- [pauses as he realizes what happened]
- Marshall Flinkman: ... I mean you. The only way it could happen is if you went into the reactor yourself.
- Jack Bristow: It was my daughter's life.
- [pauses; walks into elevator]
- Jack Bristow: Between *us*
