- Sydney: You want me to spy on my client?
- Calder Michaels: I want you to serve your country. When are you seeing Mashkov again?
- Sydney: I don't know.
- Calder Michaels: Would it be possible to schedule a date with him without raising suspicion?
- Sydney: A few weeks ago, you were scolding me for dating Mashkov.
- Calder Michaels: Yeah.
- Sydney: Now you wanna know when I'll be seeing him again?
- Calder Michaels: [holds up his hands] You're right, I apologize for that. You were in a bind, I helped out, and I used that opportunity to lecture you. It was wrong, and I am sorry.
- Sydney: [skeptical] You're sorry?
- [nods]
- Calder Michaels: But if I was hard on you, Sydney, it is only be...
- [shakes his head]
- Calder Michaels: Can I call you Stephanie? I know that's your real name, so it feels strange calling you Sydney now. Okay? If I was hard on you, it's only because I see a lot of myself in you. You want people to believe that you're an island, completely self-sufficient. But underneath, I know that you're looking for more meaning out of your life.
- Sydney: Really?
- Calder Michaels: Yeah.
- Sydney: [taunting] You got all that from screwing me?
- [gets up]
- Sydney: Mashkov's in town. We've got a date set for tomorrow.
- Calder Michaels: I thought you just sat there and said that you didn't know...
- Sydney: And if you want my help, you're gonna have to pay for it. I'm a working girl, I have my price.
- Calder Michaels: How much?
- Sydney: My going rate. Multiplied by ten.
- Calder Michaels: Why so much?
- Sydney: Consider it... a risk precaution. If I'm discovered spying on my client, it would be bad for business.
- Calder Michaels: If you're discovered spying on Mashkov, there are a lot bigger risks than that. You should know that going in.
- Calder Michaels: Are you negotiating against yourself? 'Cause we can make it twenty.
- [shakes her head]
- Calder Michaels: What we're gonna do, is hot-synch Mashkov's phone.
- Sydney: Hot-synch?
- Calder Michaels: When you have the chance, pick up this phone, press it against his for thirty seconds. Technology will do the rest.
- Sydney: Do I have to hit a button... or hold it in any special kind of way?
- Calder Michaels: No, just get them together.
- Sydney: Okay.
- [checks herself in car's mirror, sighs]
- Calder Michaels: Hey. There's nothing to worry about, okay? Mashkov has no reason to suspect you,
- [she nods]
- Calder Michaels: and I'm going to be able to listen in. If you're in any distress, you say the word. I'll send in backup.
- Sydney: We have backup?
- Calder Michaels: Conor, say hi to Sydney.
- [behind them, in street, Conor waves]
- Calder Michaels: I wouldn't have asked you to do this if I wasn't certain that you could handle yourself, okay? If you feel like you can't make the synch, that's fine. Okay? We'll wait for another opportunity.
- [she nods]
- Calder Michaels: I trust you to make the right call.
- Sydney: I press mine against his for thirty seconds, and it's done?
- Calder Michaels: Yes.
- Sydney: Just like every other trick. Okay.
- [opens car door]
- Calder Michaels: Hey.
- Sydney: [before she leaves] Yeah.
- Calder Michaels: So, I guess we'll be in touch soon.
- Sydney: Yeah.
- Calder Michaels: [puts large amount of cash on the counter] The amount we agreed upon. You earned it.
- Sydney: The intel on his phone. Was it valuable?
- Calder Michaels: I believe so.
- Sydney: Then... Am I still valuable? To you? I mean, will you need me to keep... dating Mashkov?
- Calder Michaels: [sighs] That will be helpful, yes. But listen, if you're having second thoughts, or if you want to interact with someone else at the Agency, you just say the word.
- Sydney: [shakes her head] If I'm gonna keep doing this, I don't wanna do it for the money.
- [shakes her head]
- Sydney: This...
- [returns the money]
- Sydney: I wanna keep separate.
- [he takes it back]
- Sydney: You'll still be in charge of me, right?
- Calder Michaels: If that's what you want, Sydney, of course.
- Sydney: I'd like you to call me Stephanie.
- Calder Michaels: Okay, Stephanie.
- Eyal Lavine: [Annie got invited into lion's den] Come on, Annie, don't do this.
- Annie Walker: If he wants to play a game of cat and mouse, that's fine. I'll play.
- Eyal Lavine: Which one are you in that scenario?
- Annie Walker: It's daylight, in a crowded room.
- Eyal Lavine: [growls] Annie!
- Annie Walker: If he was gonna kill me, he wouldn't send the concierge. I'll be fine.
