Elizabeth: The head of the Soviet Division? I'm sorry.
Philip: It's OK. It's why we came here.
Elizabeth: Maybe you should stop. You need to keep getting the recordings, but maybe you should stop.
Philip: You need me, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: Not for this. I'm making you stay and it just keeps getting worse for you. I don't want to see you like this anymore.
Philip: It's not just me having a hard time. It's you, too. The kids. We're allowed to have a life.
Elizabeth: I can't. I just can't.
Tuan: You should know I already sent my report on the operation. I don't you want to be surprised. In my self-criticism, I acknowledged the mistake I made in contacting my previous family in Seattle.
Elizabeth: Tuan, we don't...
Tuan: It's alright. My organization will forgive me. I said you both did a lot of great things during our work together. But I had to point out there were certain lapses during your cover arrangements which I told you about during the operation.
Elizabeth: Yes, you did.
Tuan: I also put in my report that I believed the success of the mission was risked at the very end because your commitment to achieving our goal was overridden by certain petty, bourgeois concerns.

Igor [smiling]: Mmmhmm.
Oleg: I got someone out of jail, someone we'd been investigating.
Igor: An innocent person?
Oleg: She didn't deserve what we were going to do to her. She was just trying to...make things work.
Igor: That's the trick here half the time.
Oleg: It's screwed up though, Dad. Because the higher-ups -- I don't mean you -- but some...they're just shit. They'll take the break people are supposed to eat and make a fortune out of it.
Igor: Is that what you've been working on? Good for you. I don't mean to make you talk. I know how it works.
You can't predict what a person's life will be, and you can't deny them the challenges that will shape them.
Pastor Tim
I raised you and your brother to be good, honest citizens. But these people, the ones who control these things, they don't want change. They'll fight back. And they'll win.
Igor
I don't care what it is. I'm your father, and I'll help you.

Paige: How, exactly, did you get him this job?
Philip: The Soviet Union has worked hard for peace. It has a lot of friends in a lot of organizations all over the world.
Paige: Religious organizations?
Elizabeth: Well, some of them fight for justice, which is good enough for us. [Paige takes off her cross necklace and dumps it in the trask]
