Roy Dotrice: Jacob 'Father' Wells

Quotes 

• Catherine Chandler : Your message said it was urgent.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Vincent is missing. He's been gone since night before last.

  Catherine Chandler : But I saw him that night.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : I know.

  Catherine Chandler : Is there somewhere he might have gone?

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : No, he would never cause me such undue worry. We've searched everywhere. He's nowhere below. Vincent was not himself after he spoke with you.

  Catherine Chandler : About my going away?

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Mm-hmm.

  Catherine Chandler : I'm only doing what we both thought best.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Once, I thought I knew the answer. No longer. We must find Vincent, quickly.

  Catherine Chandler : What can we do?

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Our friends above are searching the city. Beyond that... I don't know.

  Catherine Chandler : Why did you come to tell me?

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Because I know you care.

• Jacob 'Father' Wells : Vincent, the pain you feel now will lessen in time, and finally pass. That I promise.

  Vincent : So the best I can hope for is to forget her? Forget everything?

  [pounding a tabletop in anger] 

  Vincent : Mine was another life before Catherine! I'm changed, forever.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : All right. Then accept the change. Learn from it. But you must let the woman follow her own path.

  [Vincent starts to leave] 

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Vincent. For your sake.

  Vincent : Those are just words, Father, shadows of feelings. They offer no consolation.
