- James Cole: Maybe the Seers have a plan to get us out of all this.
- Katarina Jones: Not with a legend, or with a fairy tale. Where did you hear that again?
- James Cole: Something I heard as a kid.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: I interned in pediatrics, heard a lot of children's stories, but... never that one.
- Katarina Jones: There once was a serpent who only traveled in one direction; always forward, never backward, until one day, he encountered a demon.
- Hannah Jones: It's a story about time. The serpent is time. The demon, Olivia. Devouring its tail, the endless loops. It's insanity.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: The Red Forest.
- James Cole: The Seers are Primaries. So that means if the story's true, they have a weapon to fix all this, break the cycles. We need to go back to 1852 to get it.
- Jennifer Goines: Uh, pioneer town? Death by dysentery? That's a wagon train of nopes.
- Katarina Jones: I'm sending you all to Montana, 1852. A period where pioneers found hope and expedient demise in the New World. Make no mistake, this wilderness is as wild and as the animals within it; ravenous and untamed.
- Katarina Jones: Elliot, what are you doing in the past?
- Elliot Jones: You don't understand. I spent the last ten years building. Building something monumental. A research vessel. An ark that can travel through time.
- Katarina Jones: Elliot, dear God, don't tell me you...
- Elliot Jones: It's called Titan.
- Seer: Who are you?
- Seer: I am Tikhoosue of the Siksika.
- Jennifer Goines: You should really do movie trailers.
- Elliot Jones: Well, turns out, my pallid friend, that I, much to my utter and "holy shit" surprise, am a father. Mm-hmm. And although that I'm what you might call processing it - you know, denial, acceptance, picking out colors for a room I never got to paint - I have learned something. There's this thing - every father - every good father - would do for their kid. Wanna know what it is?
- Pallid Man: Tell me, Elliot. What would a father do for their children?
- Elliot Jones: Fight.
- Hannah Jones: He built Titan. They didn't take his work. He gave it to them. How can you be so calm? Why aren't you ready to kill him right here and now?
- Katarina Jones: There are few people whose death you consider more than the one you marry, I assure you.
- Hannah Jones: But, mother...
- Katarina Jones: If you think I'm being merciful, there are worse weapons. Knives that cut deeper, slower, more painfully.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: Technology's brought in from the future. Framework's built here in the past.
- James Cole: Why would the Primaries bring us here to the past? Why now?
- Jennifer Goines: I don't know. Iceberg Titan before it goes all Titanic? I mean, even I could see that.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: What do you mean, even you?
- Elliot Jones: The shakes. What's with the shakes?
- Katarina Jones: Splinter radiation. Lethal exposure trying to escape your masterpiece. Four weeks. Six at best.
- Seer: When I drink, I can see them.
- Jennifer Goines: Who?
- Seer: The ones who sent you here from long ago.
- Jennifer Goines: Primaries? When/where are they? I need to talk to them. I need to see what you see.
- [picks up drink]
- Seer: You must not. Death is there. A watcher. Looking for you.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: Olivia.
- Seer: The Witness must never know of the weapon that the Seers have made for you.
- James Cole: A weapon to destroy the demon. How do we find it?
- Seer: Climb the steps. Ring the bell.
- Jennifer Goines: Climb the steps. Ring the bell. I-I used to hear that all the time in my head.
