Quotes 

• Lucy Preston : So, we just stole a giant piece of top-secret machinery and made ourselves fugitives from the U.S. government. All good.

  Wyatt Logan : You did the right thing. If Rittenhouse is running the shop, they can't have the time machine.

  Lucy Preston : Your sense of calm is super annoying.

• Rufus Carlin : The Lifeboat's battery is drained after two jumps. It'll need four hour to recharge, if it even can, and that's...

  Wyatt Logan : Okay. Okay! It's all right. One step at a time. First step: let's go get your sister back.

  Lucy Preston : What?

  Denise Christopher : I think that's reckless. Flynn is still out there.

  Wyatt Logan : With all due respect, ma'am, we don't work for the government anymore. I think Lucy deserves a shot.

• Rufus Carlin : What the hell are we supposed to do?

  Wyatt Logan : It's one problem at a time. And right now, that is Flynn taking the Mothership to 1931.

  Rufus Carlin : Except now Rittenhouse has taken over Mason Industries, and they might be ten times worse than Flynn. Maybe we're fighting the wrong battle.

  Denise Christopher : You're the one who said we can't let Flynn take a wrecking ball to everyone and everything.

  Rufus Carlin : That was before we stole a time machine, became fugitives, and Jiya was forced to work next to a bunch of homicidal dicks!

• Denise Christopher : Rufus, like it or not, we're the only ones who can stop Flynn from hurting people.

  Lucy Preston : And what about my sister, huh? I mean, this was my last shot. If we don't do this now, I may never see my sister again. They track us down after we get back from Chicago, it is over. My sister will be gone forever.

  Wyatt Logan : Okay, look, I get it. None of us should have to give up our families. I know. I'm the last person that should be saying that, because I'm the selfish ass that went after my wife, but still. Letting Flynn murder through time, that's madness. And I thinks somewhere deep down, we all can admit that. Rittenhouse or not, Flynn's not gonna stop until we stop him. So why us? There's nobody else but us.

• Wyatt Logan : So, March 13, 1931, Chicago. Where's Flynn headed?

  Lucy Preston : There's only one place I can think of.

• Wyatt Logan : [watching Capone]  Is he not afraid to be out in the open like this?

  Lucy Preston : The people of Chicago loved him. They would chant his name at Cubs games.

• Rufus Carlin : For some reason, none of them good, Flynn has already wormed his way in with Capone.

  Wyatt Logan : Yeah, well, with all that mob muscle, it's gonna be hard to get close to Flynn or Capone.

  Rufus Carlin : Which makes this a first-class, grade A cluster...

  Lucy Preston : [spotting Eliot Ness]  Maybe he can help.

• Wyatt Logan : Where could we find Capone right now?

  Lucy Preston : We are in a little bit of a time crunch. Garcia Flynn is... very dangerous.

  Eliot Ness : And Capone isn't?

  Wyatt Logan : Not by comparison.

  Eliot Ness : Capone? The man responsible for the St. Valentine's Day Massacre?

  Lucy Preston : I think we can all agree that both men are incredibly dangerous. Why don't we just focus on finding them and stopping them from whatever it is they're planning on doing?

• Lucy Preston : Eliot Ness, he... he can't be dead. He's not supposed to die for another 26 years.

  Rufus Carlin : How'd they even know he was here?

  Wyatt Logan : How do you think? Flynn.

  Lucy Preston : This can't be happening. I mean, Capone is out there on the loose, and the only guy that can stop him is gone!

  Wyatt Logan : We got to get out of here right now.

  Rufus Carlin : We're just supposed to leave him here like this?

  Wyatt Logan : What do you want to do, wait for the cops? We don't have IDs. I'm wearing button-fly jeans from the Gap. There's nothing we can do.

• Rufus Carlin : Where are we going?

  Wyatt Logan : To find Capone.

  Rufus Carlin : What about Flynn?

  Wyatt Logan : One problem at a time.

  Lucy Preston : Stop saying that. Why do you keep saying that?

• Wyatt Logan : Do you know what the very first Delta mission was?

  Lucy Preston : 1979, Iran.

  Wyatt Logan : That's right. Go get the hostages out of Tehran. One of my Delta intructors, name is Diamond Dave, he was on that mission. The plane carrying the operatives lands in the desert somewhere to refuel. While it's on the ground, a Navy helicopter crashses into it due to the heavy winds. So, Dave, he wakes up from a nap. He sees the plane is on fire. Now, he still thinks they're 20,000 feet up. He can't find a parachute, so he just flings himself right out the door, right through the smoke.

  Lucy Preston : Okay, this is all really nice, but what is the point of this story?

  Wyatt Logan : So the guys afterwards asked Dave "If you thought we were 20,000 feet in the air, why the hell would you fling yourself out the door without a parachute?". Dave just looks at him and he says "All I knew was the plane was on fire, and I figured one problem at a time." First, we stop Capone, and then we worry about what Flynn wants with him and everything else. So if Al Capone is supposed to be behind bars, how do we put him there?

  Lucy Preston : I don't know. I mean, without Ness, this is just...

  Wyatt Logan : [seeing a thought strike her]  Lucy?

  Lucy Preston : I know who we can ask.
