Sydney Bristow:
No. I don't want an explanation. I came here because I need you to help me find her.

Arvin Sloane:
Mmm. Sydney, how much do you remember about the year after you were told that your mother died?

Sydney Bristow:
I remember... just feeling disconnected from everything. My father was away on business for most of that year.

Arvin Sloane:
No. Your father spent six months in solitary in a federal prison. He was suspected of being in collusion with Laura. The FBI almost tried him for treason and even though he was vindicated, the damage was done. And he began to unravel.

Sydney Bristow:
Unravel...

Arvin Sloane:
He drank. He started taking unnecessary risks. Come on, Sydney, you know the father he was to you all those years. He took a long time to fully recover and I was under direct orders from the DCI not to let him know that Laura survived the accident. Unfortunately, that also required lying to you.
