• Jiya : Flynn went to September 25, 1780.

  Lucy Preston : Let me guess. Just north of Manhattan.

  Jiya : How'd you know?

  Lucy Preston : Oh, this is bad. This is really, really bad.

  Denise Christopher : What would Flynn want in New York City in the middle of the Revolutionary War?

  Lucy Preston : It's not New York City; it's West Point.

  Rufus Carlin : The military academy?

  Lucy Preston : In 1780, West Point was just a fort, but Washington thought whoever had control over it would win the war.

  Rufus Carlin : So what happened on September 25?

  Lucy Preston : Well, Washington was over at Benedict Arnold's house for breakfast when he learned that Arnold was plotting to give West Point to the British. Arnold fled before Washington got there.

  Wyatt Logan : Benedict Arnold, huh? The guy whose name basically means "total jerkoff".
