Alias, Season 3

Sydney:
They told me you were charged with resisting authority. Dad, I don't understand.

Jack:
I became obsessed with your death; with finding those responsible. And at a certain point in my pursuit, I needed help. So I contacted the one person I believed I could trust, given the circumstances...your mother.

Sydney:
You were working with Mom?

Jack:
At the time, she was number 6 on the CIA's most wanted list. The National Security Council, primarily ... Robert Lindsey. You met him?

Sydney:
Yes.

Jack:
He discovered that I was collaborating with your mother, so he threatened me, questioned my allegiance to this country. He chose to make an example of me - an NSC power play. And here we are.
