Michael: No, no. I captured you. I put you away Simon. This makes no sense.
Simon: This makes all the sense in the world. Use that big brain of yours. The fact that you captured me, makes you the prefect man for the job. You're deep cover. Whoever ran the extraction team had to be someone who didn't work for the CIA, someone you'd never work with. Somebody like me.
Michael: There's no way they let you out of prison. After everything you've done.

James: Why didn't you complete your mission?
Michael: Because the man they sent after you Simon. Because if they work with him, they believe in nothing and I believed. I believed from the first day of my training at the CIA.

Michael: I have always agreed with your methods, but the jobs I've helped you with, the ones no one else was willing to do, they needed t be done. We protect what is important.
