- Leviathan: Mr Pierce. The Truth seeker. We meet at last.
- Edward Pierce: Who's there?
- [His cell fills with water]
- Leviathan: [Materializes as a human outline] I am the one men named "Leviathan." Not because of the scale of my terrestrial form, but as a reminder of this immensity of my knowledge. Which I came to share with you, human.
- Catherine Baker: Dom. What happened?
- Dominic Murphy: Come. You'll want to hear what these two idiots have to say.
- Catherine Baker: This better be interesting.
- Dominic Murphy: Seems like someone decided to grant you your deepest wish.
- Catherine Baker: A mutiny?
- Dominic Murphy: Worse. They killed Chief West.
- Catherine Baker: What?
- Dominic Murphy: And left his body in one of our warehouses.
- Catherine Baker: You're kidding.
- Dominic Murphy: They're all yours.
- Stephen Webster: Sir, I came here on the advice of a person whom I hold in high esteem. And I must say I expected anything but a drunkard's lair.
- Edward Pierce: You're free to leave anytime, sir.
- Stephen Webster: Do you know to whom you speak?
- Edward Pierce: Stephen Webster. Industrialist and art collector. All of Boston knows you.
- Stephen Webster: Tell me, Mr Pierce are you capable of handling a new case or are you simply a dead beat inebriate?
- Edward Pierce: If you've come to me, it means you're desperate.
- Stephen Webster: Nobody believes me! They take me for an old fool! Sarah, my little girl. She is dead. Even you must know of her, she was Sarah Hawkins.
- Edward Pierce: The painter? Yes, everyone knows her work.
- Stephen Webster: The police accuse her of killing her family. They all died in a fire. Sarah, her husband and Simon, my grandson.
- Edward Pierce: I can't do anything for a woman who is already dead.
- Stephen Webster: Find out the truth. They say she was mad, but I know that's a lie. She would never have done such a thing.
- Edward Pierce: But if you have no proof...
- Stephen Webster: I've brought all that I have. Look. I want you to look carefully at this painting. Tell me all the assumptions that come to mind.
- [He rests a haunting portrait on the sofa]
- Edward Pierce: What am I supposed to find?
- Stephen Webster: Tell me if this is the work of madness. Or if on the contrary you manage to detect some logic, a rationality to follow so that I may understand it.
- Edward Pierce: Is that all you want from me?
- Stephen Webster: Yes, please.
- Edward Pierce: Alright. I'll look at your picture. That's all you've got? A painting?
- Stephen Webster: I've placed a file on your desk. It contains everything I have on the affair.
- Leviathan: I see you. You cannot escape my awareness. I followed your wanderings. Your choices. Your attempts to free yourself from destiny. But it is unavoidable. And, as I predicted, you have come to free me. Awaken and call him!
- James Fitzroy: Welcome to Darkwater Island, Mr Pierce.
- Edward Pierce: Why thank you, Captain Fitzroy.
- James Fitzroy: So, what wind bought you?
- Edward Pierce: Does the Hawkins case mean anything to you?
- James Fitzroy: A sad story we'd all prefer to forget. Charles Hawkins may have been a landlubber, but he was a good man.
- Edward Pierce: And his wife, Sarah Hawkins?
- James Fitzroy: A nice young woman, and a great painter. What a tragedy. You know what? Go have a drink at The Stranded Whale. What you need is a good pick me up. Mitchell may not be very welcoming, but his bar holds a surprise for you. As for me, you'll find me at the harbormaster's office. If it's the Hawkins family that brings you here, I have a pile of documents that should interest you.
- Edward Pierce: Understood, I'm going for a look around the docks.
- Leviathan: They tracked and hunted me. Pursued me right into their dreams. They scrawled all over their maps in the wake of my lonely wanderings. No sea is dark enough to hide the color of my blood. No wind strong enough to scatter my dreams. When the last of them rises up, you will choose. I will not be here to bear witness to it because you will have released me. But the Earth will resound to your cries. Or theirs. Awaken, and free me!
