Quotes 

• Vincent : On the journey, I felt for the first time as if somehow you were lost to me. I knew you were in danger and yet I could sense no fear.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I was afraid, Vincent. But I couldn't allow myself to feel the fear.

  Vincent : You didn't want to draw me.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I couldn't.

  Vincent : You've sacrificed so much.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I would sacrifice everything for you.

• Jacob 'Father' Wells : Paracelsus, alive? But how? I thought you said he was...

  Vincent : He's alive, Father.

  [he drops a gold coin on the table] 

  Vincent : And he's taken Catherine.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Catherine? Do you know where?

  Vincent : No. Our connection has been broken somehow.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : I know Paracelsus. As twisted as his mind may be, it's still very complex, full of designs and structures. Know, Vincent, I assure you, if he intended to kill Catherine, he would have done so already. He's luring you. Calling you away from this place of safety.

  Vincent : I have no choice but to try and find her.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : I know.

• Vincent : Has it stopped?

  Pascal : No. Like a machine. Is it Catherine?

  Vincent : [shrugging, unsure]  Tell me, Pascal, where does this pipe lead to?

  Pascal : Down. Down, below the Chamber of the Winds. After that, it's been silent ever since I can remember.

  Vincent : How far away is the tapping?

  Pascal : Hard to tell. These old pipes twist and turn in the bedrock. But judging by the faintness, I'd say... three days' travel. Two, at least.

  Vincent : Code?

  Pascal : Archaic. One of the very first my father taught me. Morse derivative. You remember, Vincent, before we shorthanded the system.

  Vincent : So Paracelsus would know of this code?

  Pascal : He probably invented it.

• Winslow : So, what's on your mind? You've been awfully quiet ever since we left this morning.

  Vincent : Just... thinking. Wondering.

  Winslow : About Catherine?

  Vincent : If she's really in danger, why can't I feel her fear?

  Winslow : We'll get her back. Don't worry.

• Paracelcus : Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.

  Vincent : Paracelsus.

  Paracelcus : Milton, actually.

• [last lines] 

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : What Paracelsus said... about your past...

  Vincent : Before I left, Father told me something that I am just now beginning to understand. He said that there is a truth beyond knowledge, beyond... everything I ever hoped to know.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : Yes.

  Vincent : And that truth... is love.

  [voiceover] 

  Vincent : So, you see, Winslow knew the truth all along. He valued love enough to ie for it. There's something worth protecting at any cost. He knew it as the force that binds us together. And in the end, is death allowed our love to live.

• Vincent : Why is he doing this, Father?

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Why? Because in his mind, you are the one person that prevents his return to this world. A world which he still considers to be his own. Know the consequences of this action may stretch far beyond Catherine. The whole future of what we built here is in balance. Vincent, you must be careful. Expect anything. Remember, Paracelsus has misled you before.

  Vincent : I haven't forgotten.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Whatever he tells you, remember this: there is a truth beyond knowledge.

  Vincent : I'll remember, Father.
