Quotes 

• Wyatt Logan : Where's the Mothership?

  Jiya : Um... it's all over the place.

  Wyatt Logan : What the hell does that mean, Jiya?

  Jiya : Flynn jumped to Sacramento, present day. He was there for maybe an hour, and then he jumped again to New York, 1780. I don't get it.

  Denise Christopher : Well, how does Flynn jump so fast and so many times in a row?

  Rufus Carlin : The nuke; the one he got in Vegas, if he's using it as a battery, the way we think he is.

• Wyatt Logan : Flynn just jumped again?

  Jiya : Uh, yeah, to Illinois this time. May 30, 1893.

  Rufus Carlin : It's the month the Chicago World's Fair opened.

  Denise Christopher : Why would he go there?

  Rufus Carlin : I don't know. We're kind of short a historian.

• Connor Mason : There's nothing on this recorder.

  Rufus Carlin : That's 'cause I erased the recording.

  Connor Mason : And why would you do that?

  Rufus Carlin : Because if Rittenhouse heard it, they'd know we killed their founder.

  Connor Mason : You did what?

  Rufus Carlin : Well, technically, Flynn did, but we helped a little.

• Wyatt Logan : What do we know about this fair?

  Rufus Carlin : Lot of stuff was invented there; Cream of Wheat, Hershey's chocolate, Aunt Jemima. How is that still a thing, by the way?

  Wyatt Logan : [impatiently]  Rufus.

  Rufus Carlin : Uh, Teddy Roosevelt was there. Thomas Edison, Susan B. Anthony, Helen Keller; not that I think Flynn is gonna take out Helen Keller.

  [seeing his expression] 

  Rufus Carlin : Sorry, I... I ramble a lot when I'm stressed.

  Wyatt Logan : Okay, we start with Roosevelt. If we find Flynn, we find Lucy.

  Rufus Carlin : We sure he's going after Roosevelt?

  Wyatt Logan : No, but he's gonna be president in eight years, so that's the best I got.

• Connor Mason : Rufus, do you have any idea how much trouble you're in? This was your last chance. Um... you should run.

  Rufus Carlin : Run? Run where?

  Connor Mason : I'll help you. Um, you... you need a new identity and a new passport. Uh... your family will come with you, too, of course, and then I need to set up an offshore account for you, and that way you can...

  [seeing Rufus is distracted] 

  Connor Mason : Are you listening to me?

  Rufus Carlin : I'm not going to run.

  Connor Mason : I don't think you're appropriately frightened here.

  Rufus Carlin : Of course I am scared. Be crazy not to be. But I'm not going anywhere until we find Lucy.

  Connor Mason : By then, it may be too late.
