Episode 3: Parity

[Sydney waits for Jack in the parking lot]

Sydney: Dad.
Jack: Sydney, what are you doing here?
Sydney: I would have called, I just didn't know if that was�
Jack: You shouldn't be here.
Sydney: I told you I have a thousand questions. They're keeping me awake at night.
Jack: Then take something.
Sydney: Dad, did you know SD-6 was going to recruit me? I mean, did you help?
Jack: This isn't the time.
Sydney: Then I need to ask you about mom.
Jack: Sydney�
Sydney: Was it just an accident? Or-or did you tell her about what you were doing, like told Danny?
Jack: Look where you are! You're exposed.
Sydney: Dad, please�
Jack: Don't come here again. Not again.

[Debriefing Room of SD-6]

Sloane: So, we needed a contingency plan. So, we brought in our best game theorist. Jack: Hello, Sydney.
Sloane: Have a seat. We mapped out a scenario where you would infiltrate the K-Directorate lab where we believe the key is being held. Jack thought -- your father thought it could be too big of a risk.
Sydney: Why? It sounds like the right move.
Jack: Obviously, we need the key. Obviously, they need the box. Six hours ago I contacted K-Directorate and we settled on an arrangement. You and Ana will meet at a neutral location, undercover on both agencies' security forces. Together, you'll open the lock box.
Sydney: Is this a joke?
Sloane: As far as we know, the Directorate doesn't know the code was divided into two sketches. We have nothing to lose by letting them see what's inside the box.
Jack: This is a symmetric scenario. It compels both sides to adopt a mutually reinforcing course of action and close cooperation is one of the most stable strategic paradigms. Sydney: Assuming all players are rational. Plus, I'm supposed to trust Ana Espinosa? Sloan: I need to brief the advance team.
Jack: Their first plan was suicide.
Sydney: I could have handled myself.
Jack: Then we disagree. At least my way, you have a fighting chance.
Sydney: Then I guess I should thank you.
Jack: Never crossed my mind.
Sydney: Dad? Before I go, just answer my question about Mom.
Jack: Your mother knew I was C.I.A., it was no secret between us. She died in the accident. I never lied to you about that.

[At SD-6, Sloane and Jack watch Sydney on a computer screen.]

Sloane: Have you two spoken about her mother?
Jack: Yes. She asked me about her death.
Sloane: Did you tell her the truth?
Jack:  [shakes his head.]
