Alice: Are you in love with her?
Nick: Part of me will always love her.

It's my fault. Everything she does from here on out is on me.

Nick

Nick: I wanted to bring her in alive, if I could.
Gibbs: So much for that.

Emily: It wasn't you, and it wasn't me. Then there's somebody else out there.
Adam: And they know where the Bleeding Eye is.

I knew Harlow was involved but I stayed on your case. The bleeding eye was the only clue I could never make sense of. It haunted me, it still haunts me. That’s why it's in my journal.

Adam

Emily: I want to know why you have my visions in your journal.
Adam: You want to know why I draw the bleeding eye? What do you think I did after you vanished? I looked for you.

Nick: Listen to me, Emily. Very carefully, listen to me because your life literally depends on it. You've abducted the special agent in charge of the Boston field office.
Emily: Just like he abducted me.
Nick: No, no, no. He's the dirty agent, no question. Do I think he killed Harlow? Maybe. But the cabin, it doesn't add up. Think about it.
Emily: He's gonna confess. You'll see, after I do to him a bit of what he did to me.
Nick: How do I get through to you? Do you want Flynn to see you shot dead by SWAT on TV? Is that what you want?
Emily: I just want this to end.

Alice: I'm sick of trying to make this nightmare livable for everyone. Leave or I'll call the police.
Emily: Flynn is my son.
Alice: You don't deserve him. You're hurting them. You hurt everyone around you and you don't care.

Emily: People are going to be saying things about me, and I don't care. I just care that you know that they're not true. I need you to believe me, okay?
Flynn: I believe you.
Emily: Okay.

The Emily Byrne we knew is gone, people. It's tragic. But whatever happened to her during those years, it changed her. She's violent, dangerous, the prime suspect in two murders. So the best thing we can do for her is bring her in, safely.

Adam

I should have cuffed her. I don't know why I thought I could trust her. It was stupid. It was really stupid.

Nick

Emily: We'd still be together if none of this ever happened. You ever think about that?
Nick: I do.

Absentia Season 1 Quotes

If you don't believe me, Nick, why are you even asking me the question?

Emily

Alice: I know she would have loved to be at your race, every race, but she wanted to make your life safer, and mine. We kind of owe her, don't you think?
Flynn: You're my Mom.
