"I sort of excel at Guitar Hero 3, so consider yourself served." "{\*It's }Very nice to meet you, Mr. Bennet." "You too." "So Annie was catching you up." "Maybe you can take that algebra class next semester." "But see, Daddy, that is probably the least interesting part of my day." " How so?" " I was recognized as a survivor of the homecoming massacre back in Odessa." "Well, my name was." "I'm sorry." "{\*You know, maybe }Changing your name back to Bennet wasn't such a great idea after all, but {\*they say }college is for reinventing yourself." "I don't want to pretend to be anyone but me."

"But I've only killed when I've absolutely had to." "The line's been crossed." "They crossed it, not us." "I need you to go to him, get the compass back, and kill the son of a bitch."

"{\*I saw you break}You broke into a thousand pieces, and yet here you are." "That is a neat trick." "It wasn't a trick." "I felt myself shatter." "Melting... {\*And then }All those pieces {\*of me }came floating back together with one cohesive thought." "Killing all of you." "{\*Now see, }That's the part that I don't get." "{\*Because }I don't think {\*that }you're really a killer." "That's not who you are." "That's all I am." "You took the rest away from me." "I can help you get your life back." "How?" "Danko said that he wouldn't stop until I was killed." "What if I could make it so that Danko wasn't interested in you anymore?" "Why do you want to do this for me?" "20 years of bagging and tagging and I never helped... a single one of you." "Maybe we're both looking for redemption." "What do you say?" "Is it a deal?" "I bet you wish it was that easy." "I got your phone call." "Change your mind about Tracy Strauss?" "I came here to change yours." "Sorry." "I'm gonna kill her." "Even if I have to suck her up in a wet vac to do it." "She murdered four of my men." "She's a killer." "I'm recommending that you let this thing go." "You said guys like us never start over." "I'm offering you a chance to do just that." "Consider it a permanent vacation, courtesy of the U.S. government." "Not interested." "Not acceptable." "I want you to forget about Tracy Strauss." "We all want things, Bennet." "And I'm gonna get what I want." "Hey, this is Peter." "Leave a message." "Get back to you when I can." "Thanks." "Look, I've left you..." "I've left you three messages." "You need to call me back." "Something's happening to me and {\*I think }you're the only person who's gonna understand what it is." "It's..." "Just call me." "Please." " Who the hell are you?" " You know exactly who I am." "They sent you to get it back." "He made you forget." "What did you say?" "It's not worth it." " Who are you?" " You took something from us." " Now I'm gonna get it back." " You're never gonna find it." "I think I will." "I'm sorry if I freaked you out with that whole murder {\*at Union Wells }thing." "I just... it was so scandalous and I got excited."

"When I got here, I saw that you did what you promised." "He didn't know me." "So I figured, just live and let live." " And as I was leaving, this guy..." " The guy with the knives?" "He was fast." "Scary fast." "Definitely one of us." "One of me." "You have no idea why he'd want to kill Danko?" "I think I heard him say he was looking for something." "I don't know." "Maybe it was revenge." " Danko made a lot of enemies." " This wasn't revenge." "Look at the wounds." "They were all to the stomach." "If it were me, and I was looking for revenge, I'd go for the jugular or the carotid artery or the heart." "I think you heard right." "I think the killer was looking for something." " That's personal." " And I think..." "I found it." "What is that?" "A key." "To what?" "That's a good question." "Come on, Matty-man, you can do it." "Show me you're a big boy." " Look at you!" " Did you see that?" " All right." " Good job." "I got him." "I got him." "Good job, dude." " He's usually cold to strangers.{\*God, he usually takes so much longer to warm up to strangers.}" " Roy's not a stranger." "He's been delivering water{\* to us} since Matty was born." "I can't believe it's been that long." "Time flies, huh, Janice?" "Yeah, it sure does." "{\*Listen, }The heating unit {\*on your cooler }is busted." "I'll swing by later to fix it." "Thanks, Roy." "Thanks, Roy." "No problem." "What?" " That's my name." " No, your name is Mrs. Parkman." "When I delivered water, we were professional.{\*Look, when I delivered water, we were professional.}" " You never delivered water." " Pizza, water, whatever." "{\*That's not the point. }The point is..." "He was here, I wasn't, and I'm just a little pissed." "I thought we were past that." "{\*Yeah, }We are." "I'm sorry." "You're tired." "You haven't been sleeping properly." " {\*Well, }I've been snoring a lot less{\*, so..}." " I'm worried about you." "It's just work." "I got a lead on this huge drug ring, and all I need is the name of the supplier." "{\*And }If you could read a few minds, would it be a lot easier{\* and you get some answers}, right?" "{\*Yeah, but I told you, }I'm not doing that anymore, right?" "I kicked that for good." "I know, and I'm proud of you." "I'm just worried that it's taking a toll." "Don't worry." "I got this under control." "Can we talk for a minute?" "Can I get you something to drink?" "Yeah, thanks." " Love what you've done with the place." " Thank you." "So I have water or mustard." "Water is good." " So what have you been up to?" " I got my old job back." "Paramedic." "It must be keeping you busy." "Your mother says she hasn't seen you in weeks." "This is amazing." "Is this all you?" "Are you using powers?" "Well, in my line of work, it helps to be... strong, agile." "Incident, 23rd and..." "Thank you, Dr. Suresh." "It's a pretty convenient power." "Good for you." "{\*I figure }One of us has got to make up for all we've done." " Meaning..." " You, me, my family, the Company." "{\*Come on, }We haven't exactly been model citizens, Noah." "It's a pretty heavy burden for one guy." "You said you wanted to talk." "Danko's dead." "Killed... because of this." " A key?" " I did some research." "This key opens a safe deposit box in a downtown bank." "Now the way I figure it, the {\*guy that killed Danko}killer is probably {\*just }waiting for whoever shows up with this key." "I need a partner on this, somebody I can trust." "He could jump me {\*just about }anywhere, and I'd never know what hit me, 'cause he's super fast and he has a thing for knives." "How fast?" "Thanks for letting me stay with you." "Of course." "I would never leave you here." "Not after what happened." "Annie's parents came by last night." "I thought they should know about the "supposed-suicide letter."" "You didn't say anything, did you?" "No, but I think they have the right to know, don't you?" "{\*I mean, }If it were me, you would want to know." "It's not your business to tell the parents about the note." "Let the police handle it." "It's the truth." " Welcome back." " Hey." "Gretchen, this is my mom." "A pleasure." "Bizarre, huh?" "I heard you told the cops that you didn't see a suicide note." "So what do you think, murder or horrific accident?" " Claire may have been mistaken{\* about the note}." " May have been?" "Did you see one or not?" "I didn't at first, but it was dark." "Maybe I missed it." "Suicide makes no sense." "I mean, the girl had a trajectory." "Who maps out their life for {\*the next }50 years {\*and }then throws themself out a window?" "I should go." "You okay?" " Thanks for everything." " You're welcome." "Remember, new life, new beginning." " Bye." "Nice to meet you." " Likewise." "So, it's murder, right?" "How do we prove it?" " {\*So you think }Your knife guy's gonna show?" " I don't know, but it sure makes me feel better having you around." "I'll bet." "Do you mind if I make an observation?" "I think you should seriously consider how you're living your life." "Where did that come from?" "I saw your apartment, the police scanner, all those newspaper articles." "You're saving lives{\*, and you're} keeping track." "I'll bet you know {\*every one of}all their names." " And?" " Do any of them know yours?" "It's not healthy to live alone{\*, Peter}." "No connections to anybody." "It's a dead end." "Trust me." "I'm Exhibit "A."" "For years, I put my job ahead of my family, and now my kids are off at school and I'm eating cereal for dinner and a strange man is answering my wife's phone." "My point is I'm alone." "That's no way to live." "Here you are, Mr. Danko." "And I'll be right outside when you're finished." "So what'd we win?" "A compass." "Danko got killed for a compass?" "A broken compass." "{\*Yeah. }We need just another minute." "That doesn't belong to you." " He has power." " I got it." " I got it." " Bloody hell." " What happened?" " I don't know." "He took off." "He's still breathing." " Thanks a lot, Doc." " Okay." " How is he?" "{\*How's he doing?" "} - {\*He's }Recovering." " I hope it was worth it." " No, not really." "I can't figure out why Danko thought this was worth dying for." "Could I see it?" " What'd you do?" " I didn't do anything." "Apparently, it only works for you." "Here." "Peter, this is a lead." "You saw that guy." "There could be others {\*out there }like him." "My life finally makes sense to me." "In the last six weeks, I have saved 53 people." "I'm with you for{\*, what?" "}an hour, and some innocent {\*guy }almost gets killed?" "The further I stay away from you and whatever it is that you're doing, the happier I'm gonna be." "He murdered Danko." "He almost killed you and me for this." "So why don't you just let him have it?" "My life is simple." "I understand it." "I don't need for things to get complicated." " So why'd you come with me?" " The ability." "It'll help me do my job better." "The one where I actually save people." "I guess this is good-bye." "I wish you all the luck in the world{\*, Peter}." "Thank you, Noah." "Call your mother." "Forensic Pathology Principles and Practice," "Spitz and Fisher's Medicolegal Investigations of Death," "Knight's Forensic Pathology with All Relevant Addendum." "Where did you get those, the homicide bookstore?" "Is there such a place?" "Don't you think you're going a little overboard?" "Don't you want to prove your roommate was defenestrated?" "Of course." "And yes, I know what "defenestrated" means." "{\*Well, }Don't get mad at me for using it in a sentence." "Have you ever heard of the "jump, push, fall" test?" "The what?" "It's when cops get a dummy the {\*approximate }size and weight of the victim, and they throw it out the window to see how it lands." "What page is that on?" "It's not in there." "I saw it on an episode of Crossing Jordan." "If you fall, you go straight down." "If you jump, you go a little further." "But if you're pushed..." "Sorry." "All we need is a dummy of the {\*approximate }size and weight of Annie." "You're not serious." "Maybe we could swipe a cadaver from the medical school." "What?" "It's a victimless crime." "Let's not get carried away." "Why not?" "This is murder!" "Maybe, but I'm not trying to be a social pariah before midterms." "The ship's already sailed{\*, Claire}." "So where do we get our hands on a dead body?" "{\*Hi, }My name's Matt." "It's been six weeks since I last used, and..." "I'm feeling confused." "When I used," "I was totally selfish." "I didn't think about what I did to others, and how I may have hurt them." "Sorry." "You mean like what you did to me?" "My name is Sylar." "It's been about six weeks or so since I've seen my body, and I want it back." "Recently, there have been these... ghosts." "These things have been popping up from my old life and haunting me." "{\*Do you really think }You're gonna stop using your powers?" "Are you crazy?" "{\*I mean, }I bet you couldn't even make it through a day." "I can't {\*seem to }get {\*these images}it out of my head." "You're weak!" "You're simpleminded!" " {\*I bet }I could make you use your powers!" " Go away!" "I could make you... use your powers!" "I'm sorry." "Hey, buddy, are you okay?" "Does this guy look okay, seriously?" "I mean, look." "20 pounds overweight, high blood pressure{\*blood pressure's through the roof}, {\*He's like }a heart attack waiting to happen!" "Stop it!" "Let's get things moving along a bit..." "Who's next?" "{\pos(192,200)} {\pos(192,220)}" "{\pos(192,200)} {\pos(192,220)}" "{\pos(192,220)}" "{\pos(192,200)}" "{\pos(192,220)}" "{\pos(192,200)} {\pos(192,210)} {\*All right, }Let me take a crack at this guy, see if I can get him to talk." "Now you seemed a little off today at the meeting." "No." "I'm good." " You sure?" " I'm good." "I'm under control.{\* It's good.}" "Double shot mocha." "{\*You look like }You could use a little pick-me-up." "It's okay." "No strings attached." "Not interested." "Come on, let's do this easy, all right?" "Just two guys talking." "Come on." "I get it." "You are the good cop." "How ironic." "So we need a name." "Your supplier, all right?" "You give us that name, you keep a clean record." "He's a liar, totally lying." "Why are you looking at my forehead?" " Does it say "schmuck"{\* or something}?" " I wasn't staring at your forehead." "You're not getting a name, coffee boy." "Is that all you need{\*, Matt?" "A name}?" "{\*Seriously?" "}What {\*the hell }are you waiting for?" "It's got to be floating around in his comical little brain{\ somewhere.*, right?" "}." "I don't do that anymore." " {\*Don't }Do what{\* anymore}?" " {\*Why is that?" "}Because you're addicted?" " Leave me{\* alone}." " Who are you talking to?" "Just read his mind, Matt." "You know you want to!" "I could help you." "I could take a {\*nice, little }chunk out of his skull in the process." " Stop it!" " What's the matter with you?" " Just give me a name, okay?" " Take it from him!" " Why {\*the hell }not?" " Leave me alone." "You are a loser. {\*A total loser. }No wonder your wife is having sex with the water guy." " Shut {\*the hell }up." " I didn't say anything." " I'm not talking to you{\* right now}." " {\*Come on, Matt. }She's cheated on you once already, and we both know what Janice needs is a real man." "Someone who's not afraid of power." "Someone who knows what to do with it." "I'm in control here, not the power." "And not you, you son of a bitch!" "Keppler." "The guy's name is Keppler." "Lives in Long Beach, okay?" "Just leave me alone." " Have a nice day off?" " {\*Yeah, it was good. }Very productive." "I got a lot done." "You okay?" "Yeah." "That's..." "I'm fine." " Is that clam chowder?" " It is." "{\*It smells good. }Where'd you get it?" "This place called Legal Sea Foods." "I got one for you." " Never heard of it." " It's up in Boston." " How'd you get it down here?" " I know a guy." "That's the partner I know and love." "All available units, Code Three, Fifth and Lexington." "Never mind that." "We've still got five minutes till we're on duty." "Just hang on, okay?" "He took the compass." "How are you?" "You know, it looks worse than it feels." "When you called, I figured I owed it to you." "You know that key inside of Danko?" "It turns out it led me to a... broken, old compass." "Your friend with the knives just came and took it back anyway." " You gonna go after him?" " I don't know." "I prefer the old way of doing business." "One of me, one of you." "This new way just feels too... dangerous to try to stop them alone." "Maybe this guy with the knives is like me, just trying to get their life back..." "Keeping what's his." "Maybe the idea isn't to stop them but to figure out a way to help them." "Yeah, maybe." "So be honest." "Why did you call?" "I can't call my wife." "My... ex-wife." "And I didn't want to worry Claire, so I just..." "I get it." "You don't want to be alone." "Yeah, I guess not." "So what's in the bag?" "I have no idea." "What is it?" "Clam chowder?" "It's still warm." "{\*Looks like }You have someone looking out for you." "You want some?" "There's plenty." "You got an extra spoon?" "You don't need to jam it, or else you'll just bust the coil again." "Guess you don't know your own strength." "Hi, honey." " Roy fixed the hot water." " Awesome, Roy." "Everything okay at work?" "Yeah." "It was another banner day." " Let me walk you out, buddy." " Sure thing." "See you Tuesday{\*, Janice}." " Thanks, Roy." " Bye, Matty-man." "You be a good boy." "You got a family of your own, Roy?" "Maybe someday." "{\*Look, }Thanks for fixing the hot water and all, but..." "My pleasure." "It must be tough out there for a single mom{\*, right?" "}." "Look, she's not single anymore." "Tomorrow, you're gonna ask for a new route and you're never gonna stop by this house again." "So I'm starting a new route." "Guess this is good-bye." "Yeah, it is." "Gotcha." "Jump, push, fall." "I guess she did kill herself." "You had me worried." "Sorry, getting the compass back was a lot harder than I thought." "I met an empath." "Did you talk to him?" "Didn't really get a chance." "Lydia says you found another time traveler." "Someone to replace Arnold." "I don't like that word." "You can't replace family." "But the Chinese guy?" "Japanese." "They put him on a righteous path," "but he'll come back to us." "So what's next?" "We gather the rest." "{\fad(500,500)}"
