Keri Russell: Elizabeth Jennings

Quotes 

• Elizabeth Jennings : Nesterenko is alive. I stopped it. I also contacted Gorbachev's people. I told them everything you were planning. It's over.

  Claudia : Do you realize what you've done? They'll take apart the Centre's leadership. The people who supported you all these years. They'll put them in jail. All of us.

  Elizabeth Jennings : There's still time for you to get out, go somewhere. I'm sure you could get by anywhere.

  Claudia : You think you're doing me a favor? I had so much faith in you. Even when things were bad between us, I never lost faith in you. You always reminded me of the women I fought with in the war. The way you put country over self. But now I see you never really understood what you were fighting for.

  Elizabeth Jennings : I'm still fighting for those things.

  Claudia : Maybe you started too young. I thought I knew you.

  Elizabeth Jennings : You lied to me. If you knew me, you'd know never to lie to me.

  Claudia : The work you put in, the sacrifices you made. Our time with Paige. It was all for nothing, Elizabeth. You destroyed it all today. The damage you've done is... indescribable. Far worse than all the good you've done over these years.

  Elizabeth Jennings : Where will you go?

  Claudia : Back home, to fight for what's left of my country. I'm not afraid. We took it back from our enemies before, we'll do it again. And you? What's left for you now? Your house? Your American kids? Philip?

  Elizabeth Jennings : Hello?

  Philip Jennings : Hi, I was hoping to make it home for dinner, but things are very topsy-turvy in the office.

  Elizabeth Jennings : [pause]  I'm sorry to hear that. Try not to wake me up when you come in.
