- Marcus Dixon: The intelligence committee is sending Senator Reed to oversee the interrogation.
- Sydney Bristow: Why the sudden interest from Washington?
- Marcus Dixon: Sark is a key player now. They expect us to bleed him dry.
- Marcus Dixon: The only thing that we do know for certain: Sark managed his escape because he was provided with information that could only have come from this office. I want this leak identified.
- Marshall Flinkman: I enhanced the audio, and it turns out our friend Mr. Sark made a phone call.
- Julian Sark: [on recording] Notify the extraction team. I should be at the LZ on schedule. Do we have the hostages?... Excellent... Not if I see you first, love.
- Marcus Dixon: The emotional toll this has taken and my current state of mind convince me I am no longer the best guarantee of her return. Therefore, I am stepping down temporarily as director of this task force until this matter is resolved. Jack, I trust you will stand in my stead and do everything in your power to bring my daughter back to me.
- Marcus Dixon: My son said his captors mentioned the word "countershadow". That's all I have to go on. I need access to a research terminal for an hour or so.
- Erin: Not a problem. Mind if I tag along?... Actually, I have to tag along. We're at a Code Orange. You understand.
- Marcus Dixon: I understand... I instituted the protocol.
- Jack Bristow: All of the resources of this agency are being diverted to meet demands the Covenant must know are unattainable, which leads me to believe it's merely a distraction. What do they really want?
- Arvin Sloane: Well, then my question to you is: why target Dixon? What does he have access to, Jack?
- Jack Bristow: The Covenant is desperate to acquire a box constructed by Rambaldi. It's Sloane's understanding that they're close to locating a key to activate it.
- Marcus Dixon: And why should we trust a thing Sloane says?
- Jack Bristow: Because Sloane believes the contents of that box in The Covenant's hands will put Sydney's life in jeopardy, and I believe him.
- Julian Sark: I'm afraid I'm going to need some insurance to guarantee I reach my extraction point safely. This collar contains a lethal cardiotoxin. Once I place this on your daughter, you'll have two minutes to disarm it before the compound is released into her system.
- Marcus Dixon: You son of a bitch! That was not part of our agreement!
- Julian Sark: This mechanism is well within your disarming capabilities. Two minutes is generous, in my opinion.
- Arvin Sloane: Look, Judy, why don't you ask yourself: if I wanted to damage you, if I wanted to damage the CIA, would I be so careless? Would I leave a trail that so obviously leads in my direction?
- Dr. Judy Barnett: You used me. I compromised my judgment because I believed that you had changed. You are incapable of it.
