[Jack is not necessarily a patient person--during the Crisis, he'd made something of a name for himself rushing headfirst into things, seeing what needed to get done and doing it, drawing a straight line from point A to point B. No amount of criticism for it really broke him of the habit, which is why Ana was so valuable to him. Having her back tempers him in a way few others can, especially when their current mission is one that requires some measure of subtlety and caution.
This, however, has been agonizing. Reyes has been one step ahead of them for far too long, and Jack is starting to get frustrated with leads to nowhere, or brief encounters that end with him slipping through their fingers. Jack has been in pursuit ghosts for six years, and he's starting to get tired. All he can really do is hope that this time their plan works, and that maybe Gabriel's just as through with running as they are with chasing.
Between both him and Ana, they've managed to corner him, he's fairly sure. Backed into an old safe house with little room to fight and nowhere to run, Gabriel is going to have to face them both sooner or later. Jack is expecting this to get ugly, so despite the fact that he wants nothing more than to bust right in and get down to business (as is his wont), he recognizes that this might take a more delicate hand.
Read: Ana. Ana should go first.]
You want to do the honors?

If he doesn't already know. He probably already knows.]
Don't fight him, Ana.
[There's warning in his voice--obviously, he can't stop them if the two of them want to throw down, but he'll be adamant that they should avoid that if at all possible, and he can sense that's where this might be going. He reminds himself that they're technically prepared for this. Reyes might not want to accept the evidence that the whole thing was just one huge international conspiracy, but they're going to have to tell him either way.]
We have the files. He'll know they're real.
[Even if he doesn't want them to be.]

[He practically snarls it, the points of his shoulders going rigid as his anger begins to get the better of him. Did she really think she had never mattered? Had Jack so thoroughly convinced her that he was always going to forget about them? Or maybe he'd just read her wrong all those years -- that seemed more likely, all of a sudden. He'd let himself be distracted by the bond he'd thought he had.
Perhaps the first time he hadn't blamed Jack Morrison for something out of his control. That doesn't make it sting any less.]
He destroyed everything when we finally traced the God Program virus leaks, and dropped a building on us to keep his name clear. But I'm sure he didn't tell you that, did he?
