- Mannix: My, you're such a fool. You could have let that journalist take the blame. But instead you chose to sacrifice yourself. For what? For love? Love for him? There's not much between us, Alfred. I know what it's like to live a lie. Who you are, it's not your fault. You were born in the wrong time, that's all. Where I come from, you and Henry could hold hands. Make love. In fact, I've longed to find a world where you and I can belong together. I truly tried.
- Iris Maplewood: So you're saying that Mannix died full of regrets.
- Shahara Hasan: Maybe.
- Iris Maplewood: So that's our way in. What if we could reach him? Confront him. Sow a seed of doubt. Get him to change his mind. If the universe wants him alive, we just need to outsmart the universe. We have to try.
