Quantum Leap1989

[Zoey and Alia have just discovered that Arnold is actually Sam, who Alia has previously been instructed to kill]

Zoey:
You know, Lothos is not too pleased with your prior performance concerning Dr. Beckett.

Alia:
Well, then why the hell did he send me here?

Zoey:
Seems to be as much of a surprise to Lothos as it is to us.

Alia:
He's supposed to know everything.

Zoey:
He does. Dr. Beckett's appearances follow the random event theory. It's just a fantastic stroke of luck - or maybe a little test to see if you've improved.

Alia:
Just tell me my mission.

Zoey:
Oh. Don't tell me, after all you've been through, that you still...

Alia:
Just tell me. I'm supposed to kill him, right? I'm supposed to blow his brains out?

Zoey:
'fraid not, darling. Seems you weren't too successful with the gun last time. Perhaps a grenade or a flamethrower?

Alia:
Zoey, just tell me!

Zoey:
Lothos hasn't decided. But whatever happens, Beckett must not know that you're here, so you may not touch him. Pity.
