Quotes 

• Connor Mason : In their haste to find our rogue team and get the Lifeboat back, Rittenhouse... handed me an all-access pass to government servers.

  Denise Christopher : I am the government, remember?

  Connor Mason : Not your pathetic servers, which, by the way, get hacked by the Russians on a regular basis. No. The other servers. The ones no one talks about.

  Denise Christopher : You mean the NSA? That's...

  Connor Mason : Illegal? Immoral? Yes. Well, you can thank me later. But instead of searching for our intrepid time travelers, I found... this. Everything you've ever wanted to know about Benjamin Cahill. Enough to convict him seven times over. See, anyone, even you, can play the, um, crusading cop, but I was playing the long game. Rittenhouse thinks we were playing checkers while I was playing 3-D chess.

  Denise Christopher : Why are you telling me all this?

  Connor Mason : Because... you're dull, but honest. So you can take this to the dull, honest authorities.

  Denise Christopher : Why should I believe you after everything you've done?

  Connor Mason : Um, because, um... once Jiya can pilot the Lifeboat, Rittenhouse is going to eliminate Rufus. Just... see, I have no illusions about who I am. Whatever's coming, I richly deserve it. But Rufus... Rufus deserves better.

• Connor Mason : You need to come with me.

  Denise Christopher : Why the hell would I go anywhere with you?

  Connor Mason : Because I've disabled the security systems, and the guards still work for me. They'll look the other way. Trust me.

  Denise Christopher : I'll take my chances.

  Connor Mason : With what? There's no due process here. Please, come with me, or let your family spend the rest of their lives wondering what happened to you.
