- Vincent: The hunter came for me. Because he did, two of my friends are dead.
- Jacob 'Father' Wells: You risked your life to protect us. You've always kept our world safe from harm.
- Vincent: And I cannot allow myself to endanger our world now. What happened will never happen again. I must go, Father.
- Jacob 'Father' Wells: Go? Where?
- Vincent: Away. Somewhere separate and apart.
- Jacob 'Father' Wells: Don't do this, Vincent.
- Vincent: This is the only home I've ever known. But I must leave in order to keep it safe. Don't make this parting any harder.
- Jacob 'Father' Wells: [hugging him tightly] I tried to make a world free from fear and violence.
- Vincent: We cannot always choose the roads we walk.
- Jacob 'Father' Wells: [letting him go] Be careful, Vincent. The road you walk could cost you more than your life. It could cost you yourself.
- Vincent: I know the dangers, Father. That's why I must walk this road alone.
- Diana Bennett: What kind of roses did she like?
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: What do I look like, her florist?
- Diana Bennett: The only way that you can get a red and white rose to grow off of the same bush is with a special grit. Did you know that?
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: Maybe she couldn't make up her mind.
- Diana Bennett: Joe, there's a language to flowers. The red rose means passion and love, and the white rose is eternity or... or death. Now, somehow, I don't know how, but somehow Vincent knew whenever she was in trouble, and... and he came to her. He was her protector.
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: You sound like you know this guy.
- Diana Bennett: Well, sometimes I feel like I do.
- Gabriel: Why do people put flowers on graves? Do they really think it makes death smell sweeter?
- Elliot Burch: Why'd you bring me here?
- Gabriel: Does it make you uncomfortable?
- Elliot Burch: Only the company.
- Gabriel: Elliot... the war's over. In a month, you'll be bankrupt. In a year, you'll be in prison. Half your people are already mine.
- Elliot Burch: You're lying.
- Gabriel: Maybe I am. How will you ever be sure? Machiavelli wrote that a wise prince knows it is better to be feared than loved. Look around you. All these tombstones. All these wasted possibilities. There's no reason for us to be enemies, Elliot.
- Elliot Burch: [pointing to Cathy's headstone] There's a reason.
- Gabriel: Catherine Chandler. You know, if I'd known all the trouble it would cause, I would never have killed her. But it's done. There she lies. If you want to lie down beside her, so be it. But I had heard that you were a more practical man.
- Elliot Burch: Maybe I was, once. She changed me.
- Gabriel: I don't think so.
- Elliot Burch: What do you mean?
- Gabriel: I know you.
- Elliot Burch: You don't know anything about me.
- Elliot Burch: So, it begins again.
- Vincent: It never ended.
- Elliot Burch: It's like a nightmare. He's killing me, Vincent. Inch by inch.
- Vincent: His name is Gabriel. This is important to him, somehow.
- Elliot Burch: [Vincent hands him the ring Snow left him] Gold. It's interesting. Looks old. Where'd you get this?
- Vincent: From the hand of the hunter he sent to kill me. But he took it off, in the end.
- Elliot Burch: You don't know what you ask of me. If I go on with this, I'm risking...
- Vincent: Everything.
- Elliot Burch: I built a sand castle once. I couldn't have been more than eight years old. It was a wonderful sand castle; walls and turrets. Must have been six feet high. Then the tide came in. Gabriel is the tide, Vincent. He's washing away everything that I've built in my life. He's washing away my dreams.
- Vincent: Dreams can be dreamt again. Sand castles can be rebuilt. Catherine said you were a fighter.
- Elliot Burch: Catherine was wrong about many things.
- Vincent: Sometimes in my sleep, I see another world. A world where I died in Catherine's place. I see her walking in the sunshine, lauging. I watch her grow old, reading to her children. Cradling her grandchildren in her arms. A happy life. The life that she was born to live. The life that she deserved. It seems so real that if, somehow, I can make it so, then... Grave is a fine and a private place.
- Elliot Burch: It's not much to go on. But I'll see what I can find.
- Diana Bennett: Whoever killed Cathy Chandler was not the same person who brought her home.
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: Now, what makes you think that?
- Diana Bennett: Vincent brought her home, Joe. He brought her home because he loved her.
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: Oh, come on.
- Diana Bennett: Look at these pictures. Moreno and Gates were ripped to pieces. Claw marks on the bones, torn flesh, heavy bruising, heavy bleeding.
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: Yeah, I read the autopsies.
- Diana Bennett: Coroner says it looked more like an animal attack than a murder. Now, I ran a computer check just to see if there were any other instances of this same M.O. in the last three years.
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: I remember these cases. But what do they have to do with ours?
- Diana Bennett: The earliest was eight months after Cathy Chandler came to work for you. A third of them tie into cases that she was involved with.
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: All circumstantial. You can't prove a damn thing.
- [she sets a chunk of concrete on the table]
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: Vincent? Where'd you get this?
- Diana Bennett: Drainage tunnel under the park. Did you know there are hundreds of unmapped tunnels underneath this city, with access through Cathy's sub-basement?
- Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell: So?
- Diana Bennett: Oh, Joe, so... I don't know.
