- Hannah Jones: Mothers die for their children. Yours died protecting you.
- James Cole: What was she like?
- Hannah Jones: Lost, I think. She always said she felt trapped between two worlds, the one she was raised in and this one, the world she came to know. She grew up without her mother. Never knew her father. I don't think she realized that how much it shaped her, until she was faced with the idea of giving you up.
- James Cole: So she left, handed me off to my dad with nothing but that bullshit story.
- Hannah Jones: No. The story's not over yet, James.
- Hannah Jones: My mother once said that time travel was both the cause and the effect of all of this.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: But none of that matters anymore. We have the virus. The Primaries sent us here to destroy it.
- Hannah Jones: Once Olivia turns on her weapon, begins her Red Forest, she'll exist outside of causality. Destroying the plague won't stop her.
- James Cole: But it will rob of us of the only weapon we have to use against her... Time travel. The Primaries didn't send us here to stop the plague. They sent us here to release it.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: No, no, no! This whole mission has been about saving 7 billion people, not killing them. You can't ask me to do this. For what?
- James Cole: Either 7 billion people die today... Or everyone dies forever.
- Katarina Jones: I need to see this to the end. I have to.
- Jennifer Goines: You will. I'm here. I'll push you until the clocks stop and the road runs out.
- Dr. Julian Adler: I did my damnedest to enter every coordinate, every date, but it's little more than a jumble of data.
- Jennifer Goines: Okay... the weapon to destroy the demon... But how would you do that exactly?
- Katarina Jones: The loops and tangles of time. To stop something that never started, to end something that never began, you must break them. Untangle...
- Dr. Julian Adler: This is a simulation of the current time stream as we know it. When we initiate the Primary code sequence...
- Jennifer Goines: The serpent's free! Only traveling in one direction again.
- Dr. Julian Adler: The loops are broken, erased.
- Katarina Jones: Julian, show me those splinter coordinates again.
- Dr. Julian Adler: You were right, Katarina. These dates do not represent all our splinters.
- Katarina Jones: No, only Mr. Cole's. This is every time he has traveled, every moment he has affected the time stream. It's his entire life. This was never about splintering. This was designed to destroy a Djinn, and a Djinn cannot be deleted from just one moment. It has to be removed from every moment. The Primaries built a machine to erase James Cole.
- Jennifer Goines: No. Cole can't be a Djinn. You said yourself, this is something that can only be born of time travel. Cole's father wasn't a traveler.
- Dr. Julian Adler: His mother, Marion.
- Katarina Jones: Hannah...
- Pallid Man: That's unfair. You know, time is cruel. You know, I watched the ones I loved die, defeated by time. In the end, we all lose... Yet you may win... if you choose to. Goodbye, Cassandra.
- Katarina Jones: It's definitely M5-10.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: We never knew how it was released.
- James Cole: We do now.
- Katarina Jones: If they only had one remaining sample.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: Well, this this is how you maximize its impact: turn a building of innocent people into traveling time bombs.
- Olivia: You shouldn't be here. You have work to finish.
- Pallid Man: The virus was taken by James and Cassandra on the eve of its release. They've interfered again. Broken yet another cycle.
- Olivia: James Cole somehow remains a threat to our perfect reality. Today, I will end his cycle, and then... I will assure the plague is born not as you have have intended, but as it always has.
- Pallid Man: The Witness has spoken.
