- Margo Elson: When I first heard it, I don't know, but the elders say, "Every decision you make today affects the next seven generations." Today just isn't today, tomorrow can be today.
- Young Margo: When I first heard it, I don't know, but the elders say, "Every decision you make today affects the next seven generations." Today just isn't today, tomorrow can be today.
- Conrad Stallman: When I was young, we kept our memories in a box - photographs, tapes, mementos. But that box could only hint at what we had experienced. Those worn and torn baubles or suggestions, insinuations of those beloved memories. But I always knew that someday we would improve upon those trinkets and open our eyes to more than we could ever remember. Red Eye is the contact lens that the brilliant team here has perfected in its simplicity. It records not what the eye can see, but what the mind can remember. I invite you to see with me. We are made up of our experiences and of the memories of those experiences. Now your memories are no longer a thing of the past. Be where you remember being. See old friends, family. We harnessed a Universal Recognition Matrix, a URM and put it in Red Eye to bring your memories back. Restore them from the past. So what was... Now is. Your memories are no longer a thing of the past. This is the new Red Eye.
- Thomas Elliot: What were you working on here?
- Margo Elson: It's called "Red Eye". It reads the genetic data of retinal vein blood cells to recruit memories.
- Thomas Elliot: To be blunt, I pretend to understand what you just said, but I... I don't.
- Thomas Elliot: The police find this and it's way too easy to dismiss this as just another drug case.
- Margo Elson: Wait a second, I thought you were the police.
- Thomas Elliot: I... I am a detective, but we think a little more highly of ourselves.
- Margo Elson: Oh yeah, you're telling me.
- Margo Elson: Law enforcement and experimental science have a ton in common just in case you wondered.
- Margo Elson: How so?
- Margo Elson: In being a relentless snoop, goes with stubbornness.
- Thomas Elliot: I did notice that about you. It's okay, I forgive you.
- Margo Elson: Shut up.
- Margo Elson: So, why do you drive this old beater anyway?
- Thomas Elliot: Because modern tracker circuits can find you anywhere. I'd never trust a car with a chip in it. This old baby, no one can find us in this thing.
- Margo Elson: Yeah, I don't blame you.
- Thomas Elliot: We're looking for information about a woman you might have heard of, Elise Perrot.
- Jade Drayton: That name just sent a chill down my spine. Some names come with baggage.
- Jade Drayton: You've wandered into a war that no one knows is being waged. A war of conscience and knowledge. If you blink, your freedom will disappear, and it will be taken. You don't fight for your freedom, you've sided with them. This is the yellow brick road, baby.
- Margo Elson: What do I need to do?
- Conrad Stallman: The subconscious, place only humans can go. It's your gift, Margo.
- Margo Elson: Or a curse.
- Conrad Stallman: It will die. Like any organism, without stimulation, it will wither and decay. That's the beauty of any living thing, it can't circumvent its own death.
- Margo Elson: As someone told me once that the tracks we leave...
- Conrad Stallman: [completes the quote] ... is all we have behind us. Yeah, I've heard that, too.
- Margo Elson: Teach me how to be a detective. What am I looking for?
- Thomas Elliot: Okay. Um, sometimes what we don't see is more important than what we do see. Every crime scene has its own memory. Little signs left behind, traces of what happened. And our jobs as detectives is to pick up all of the broken little pieces and put them back together again.
