Nick: Your legacy as a minder is over. Your power in this town is over. From now on, Horseshoe Bay will exist in truth.
Callie: You have no idea what you’ve done.
Nick: You can’t hide behind the sin eater anymore. Your threats are empty.

She spoke to me. She was sorry there was no justice for what happened to me, to any of the other sin eaters. She was trapped down here for centuries. A prisoner just like the sin eaters they forced her to create. She said she was glad I returned to her, and then she said goodbye.

Tristan

Carson: Will it be weird?
Nancy: What about our family isn’t weird? Is it weird for you?
Carson: My whole world has been being your dad. You have my heart.
Nancy: So did Mom. So does Jean. It’s always possible to make more room.

Nick: Please, don’t destroy another innocent life.
Callie: I’ll do what it takes to ensure the continued existence of the sin eater just as my ancestors did before me. It’s our legacy to provide order to this town.
Nick: By sweeping crime and corruption under the carpet. Cherry picking who gets a do-over. That’s not order, it’s manipulation on behalf of the privileged, and it’s systemic injustice.
Callie: The alternative is worse. You should be grateful. Whether it’s Tristan or the next incarnation of his soul, the cycle is unbreakable.

Tristan: So, the mummy is kind of like my mom, and we need to destroy her to stop the curse.
George: Families. Am I right?

Nancy: Does she remember how she died?
Ace: Maybe some mysteries don’t need to be solved.
Nancy: You care about Alice. Don’t you want her to have closure? Keeping her in the dark to protect your heart is not fair.
Ace: Can you just let it go? It is so like you to rope me into another mystery and force me to solve it with you just when I’ve moved on.
Nancy: Nobody is forcing you. And you haven’t moved on. Your girlfriend is a ghost. She’s dead. So whatever relationship you think you might have can’t last.
Ace: Your boyfriend is a beast marked for death. Whatever relationship you think you have can’t last. You haven’t moved on, either.
Ace: I know! I never said that I did. God, it’s just so like you to call things off as soon as you feel uncomfortable. You’re afraid. You’re afraid of the truth. You’re afraid of yourself, and you’re afraid of me. And I can solve this mystery without you.

Know this. I don't care about any of you, and if you ever try to break the sin eater's legacy like the Glasses did tonight, I'll come for you without mercy.

Callie

Nick: Erasing history since 1805.
Callie: Well, the town's a better place for it.

Abbott: Let me redeem myself.
George: This will not do that. Putting a target on your back is punishment, not redemption, not accountability. We do not sacrifice one life to save another.

Nancy: Bess said that you wouldn't want my help.
Ace: But you did it anyway. Why do you have to solve this?
Nancy: Why don't you want to solve it?
Ace: Because I like her. I like Jane Doe's ghost, and she feels the same way. I know she's a ghost. I know it doesn't make sense, but I don't care.
Nancy: Ace, I…
Ace: For the first time since you, somebody makes me feel happy. If you solve this, she'll go. I don't want her to leave.

Nick: You sent Abbott to sacrifice himself.
George: It was his idea. Redeem himself by saving Nancy. His choice.
Nick: But you didn't try to talk him out of it, so it was your choice too.
George: Okay, fine. You win the debate. He'll just have a target on his back until we solve the sin-eater curse, but that will be easier to do if Nancy's not dead.
Nick: And if Abbott dies? You can't sacrifice one life to save another.
George: No? If I talked him out of it, I'd be doing the same thing. Who do you want to save, Nick? Our friend who we love or a piece of crap judge who buried an assault?

I know you care for Tristan. You can save him. Don't let your death be in vain.

Nancy Drew Quotes

Nancy: Nick and I are seeing each other. He seems to have an issue with me not acknowledging this publicly and has decided now is the time to rectify this.
Nick: Consider it rectified. I feel much better.

Carson: I've just been buried at work.
Nancy: Poor word choice, given recent events.
