JD: They're going to find you eventually. There is no future if we keep running. Not for anybody. Now this? This is a magic bullet. And we're going to use it. No matter what happens.
Molly: Zugzwang.
Charlie: Lucy, don't do this!
Lucy: As they say in Paris -- au revoir.
We called it Einstein's Regret. It was either that or Zugzwang. It's a chess term. When a player has to move, but any move weakens his position. I'm about to make a move that's going to weaken my position substantially.

Julie: What's wrong?
Charlie: She thinks it's a date.

Molly? This is John. If you're listening to this, it means I'm dead. I built this message into Ethan in the event of the worst case scenario. That scenario has happened. A Humanich has killed a human being and breached the primary protocol. This is a harbinger of greater crimes to come. There's only one thing that can stop them. The person who has been entrusted with guarding this is Nicholas Calderon. He's your only hope.
John (through Ethan)
Ethan: So what are your intentions?
JD: Intentions?
Ethan: With my mom.
JD: OK. My intentions are to keep her, you, and your friend Terra there safe. How's that sound?
Ethan: Sounds... good.
Toby: Nicholas Calderon, what do you know about him?
Molly: All I know is that he and John created the Humanich prototype together, they had a huge falling out. And then...
Toby: His work took a turn for the dramatic. Blew up a defense building in Wichita a few years back. Swore he was just getting warmed up.

There's a poetry to it, isn't there? They make a virus to destroy us, we release viruses to destroy them.
