Atlee
- Ethan Hunt: Chief Atlee, kind of you to accept our invitation.
- [shoots Atlee with a tranquilizer gun]
- Atlee: [dazed] Do you know who I am?
- Ethan Hunt: We know you created the Syndicate. But Lane went rogue and turned it against you, didn't he? And you've been desperately trying to cover it up. That's why you erased the disk when she brought it to you.
- Atlee: That's true.
- Ethan Hunt: Now, Director Hunley has some questions for you regarding Ilsa Faust. Namely, how you framed her.
- Atlee: That's also true.
- Ethan Hunt: [to Hunley] It's the antidote.
- William Brandt: When the Prime Minister found out about the Syndicate, Atlee attacked him.
- Prime Minister: [dazed] Yes, that's true.
- William Brandt: And then you saved the Prime Minister, sir.
- Prime Minister: Did he? I'm very grateful.
- Ilsa Faust: As it stands, Ethan Hunt is a man without a country. This makes killing him decidedly less complicated.
- Atlee: Are you ordering me to kill Hunt?
- Atlee: Good God, no. Nothing so crude as that. No. Lane will order you. And, to regain his trust, you will do it.
- Ilsa Faust: You sent me to do a job. I did it. Now you bring me in!
- Atlee: Might I remind you, you are without a country of your own? The Director of the CIA called me, inquiring about you personally. Of course, to protect your cover, I had to lie. So, as far as the Americans are concerned, you're a rogue assassin, a target of opportunity. Precious few people know about your true identity. It would be unfortunate if we forgot. You see, there really is no choice, Ilsa. You're going back.
- [Ilsa walks away]
- Atlee: Glad to know you're still with us.
- Atlee: Did you never stop to consider that he may want me to have it? Misinformation, manipulation. That's what he does, Ilsa. That's what he's trained to do. Lane lies to you, you sell his lies to Hunt. Together, you both are compromised. That's his ultimate objective.
- Ilsa Faust: He was going to torture and kill an American agent.
- Atlee: And you should've let him and you would still have Lane's trust. This is the trade, Hunt understands that.
- Ilsa Faust: I wasn't going to let him die. He's our ally.
- Atlee: There are no allies in state craft, Ilsa. Only common interests.
