Cassie: The first reported cases of the plague happened here in New York. Tomorrow, a trip around the world. Eleven more cities. The rest of the virus is still on her plane and we will destroy all of it after she's dead.
Cole: Wait! Jennifer, I know you don't want to do this.
Jennifer: But I'm supposed to. It's my purpose.
Cole: Jennifer I need you to trust me, a little bit. Okay.

Cole: Why didn't stopping you change things?
Jennifer: It did, it's just not the way you think.

James Cole understands something you all have forgotten; our fates are intertwined. Here and in the past. Our mother knows this. Many cycles ago James Cole made a choice. An act of mercy. For that a debt was issued and now that debt has been repaid.

Daughter

Cole: What happened to you in the future?
Cassie: The twelve are there. The messengers, but you knew that already... didn't you?
Ramse: They never told me what they were going to do with them.

Time changed. I felt it. But I'm still here, things should be different.

Cole

Cassie: We destroyed the virus, but nothing happened.
Jones: No Dr. Railly, something did happen. You changed history.

What you and Dr. Railly did in 2016 changed things. Our records show that some of the quarantine zones didn't fall as quickly as before. So, there were more survivors. Human lives spared because we dared to challenge fate. You know what that is? It's hope, Mr. Cole.

Jones

I was sent back in time to kill a man. It was supposed to fix everything, it didn't. So I killed more people, nothing changed. And then I save someone. Someone who should have died and that is what changed things. It's the only thing that's ever made any difference.
