Alias, Season 1

Jack:
This is CIA Director Devlin, Deputy Director Tucker, Executive Director Gerstner, and these are Senior Officers Haley, Stafford, and Collum. ...I knew weeks ago that my file had been pulled, and that you were suspicious of my activities twenty-five years ago regarding the KGB. When I learned that you had scheduled a meeting with Mr. Devlin regarding... my history, I knew that it was time. Let me say in advance I'm sorry to make this such a public display, but I felt it was important to do this in front of these people because they already know the truth, and because I didn't think that you would believe me otherwise... Those Cyrillic codes you found in those books -- yes, they were orders from the KGB, and yes, they were orders to kill. An agent received those orders and carried them out -- murdered officers of the CIA, including your father, Mr. Vaughn. All this is true. But Sydney, I was not that agent: your mother was.
