"I don't know how he survived that crash." "You know how badly you screwed this up?" "Now nathan's out for blood." "Look,maybe we should rethink this." "I mean,a second attempt is bound to look suspicious, and who knows how angela's gonna react?" "What do you suggest-- we abort?" "No,no.Not abort,no." "Postpone." "You're not thinking this through." "The plan for new york has been years in the making." "Do we postpone that,too?" "No,no,not necessarily." "I don't know,daniel." "Sometimes I worry you're outliving your usefulness." "You're--you're right,arthur." "We should finish this." "I know a guy in montreal." "He worked for me in vegas." "He's good." "Now,I can fly him down tonight." "Angela." "Angela!" "Angela!"

"Flint,you got to understand ing." "Meth you can't ever trust the company." "They will lie to you.Th'll lock you up or worse." "You hear me,flint?" "You got to promise me that you'll never,ever" "You killed her!" "That's right,genius.I killed her." "Now I'm gonna kill you." "flint,look out!" "Son of a bitch." "You were following me,huh?" "Why do you have to screw this up?" "Oh,come on,flint,an agent?" "We could've given him a purpose!" "Now--now he's our sworn enemy." "So am I!" "That smells good." "Almost as good as my pot pies." "Daniel,I think arthur's downtown." "Yes,he is." "What's on your mind?" "The question is,angela,what isn't on yours." "Look... it wasn't an easy decision to come,but believe it or not," "I still have a shred of morality left in me somewhere." "I can no longer stand by and watch him destroy you like this." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "I know he's working on a project." "I don't remember the,uh,details right now, but I'm sure it has to be done." "I can't push a thought into your head,angela, but I can heal the scars." "What scars?" "From all the times he's forced his thoughts, erased your memories." "Each time leaves its mark-- a trace of damaged tissue." "I don't believe you.Arthur would never do that to me." "Arthur is betraying you in the most heinous way possible." "How dare you?" "He's gonna kill your son." "You're a liar." "I can heal the scars,angela,but you have to decide." "Do you want to live in blind obedience?" "Or do you want to know the truth?" "Nathan." "So you never answered my question." "Why do you hate the company so much?" "'Cause they killed my baby girl." "It was 14 years ago." "They caught up with me in this little village off the panhandle." "They stormed in at night." "There was a firefight." "Place went up like kindling." "And my little girl,claire,she was killed in the fire." "Claire." "That's what they told you-- she died in a fire." "What is that supposed to mean?" "Go." "Go on before I change my mind." "What?" "Think of it as a get-out-of-jail-free card for your little girl." "Go." "Help!" "This ziti smells terrific." "can't wait." "Hey,have you ever been to that little theater down the street?" "I saw that they had some sort of artsy spoken-word thing there tonight." "Maybe we ld sshoutop by later." "Hmm,maybe we should." "Oh,I invited someone to join us." "I hope you don't mind." "It's open!" "Yeah,um,I'm trevor." "We spoke on the phone." "I'm elle." "And,um,this is gabriel." "I thought shu two ould meet." "Trevor has an ability,too." "An ability" " I don't understand." "Don't be mad,but I got trevor's number off that list you had." "I really think it's important for you to get to know people like yourself." "I mean... alcoholics can't do it alone." "Trevor,why don't you show us what you can do?" "Okay." "That is so cool." "Gabriel?" "Isn't that special?" "Wait here." "I have a great idea." "Soup is delicious." "Italian lentil-- your mother's recipe." "Something on your mind?" "What's the matter,arthur?" "You can't see inside it?" "You just seem... far away." "I just wonder sometimes if,without your power,you'D... know me at all anymore." "Indigestion?" "So what do you think,arthur?" "Do you still know me?" "Can you tell anything about me just by looking in my eyes?" "You're my wife,angela." "I know you like I know my own heart." "Really?" "So what am I gonna do now?" "Am I gonna kiss you,or am I gonna kill you?" "I love that." "Don't you love that?" "That's great." "It's so special." "Let's see it again." "You think he's so special?" "I bet he can't do this." "Gabriel." "I think you need to leave,now." "Gabriel,don't!" "Please... how did you-- you don't have to do this." "Who are you?" "Get out." "We can't do this." "Bennet,we have to make him stop!" "This is incredible." "He actually exposes the brain." "Oh,my god." "Our son,arthur,our own son." "There are larger issues at stake,angela." "You can't let sentimentality derail everything that we've worked so hard for." "I'm sentimental because I don't want to murder our son?" "We were gonna rebuild the world." "You were a great man,arthur." "You were a visionary,but somewhere along the line, you lost your soul." "And I make no apology" "I lied." "It's not your mother's recipe." "Use the incinerator on level three." "Use my pass card to grant you access." "Should anyone ask,he's a casualty of a field op." "ma?" "Nathan." "Anybody home?" "Ma?" "Dad!" "Oh,my god." "I think he's had a heart attack." "Is he..." "He's still breathing." "He's still alive." "We're wrapped here-- just one more loose end." "No,no,not that thing-- the other thing." "Okay,I'll let you know." "Don't beat yourself up." "We've done invaluable work here." "Those tapes will be studied and analyzed." "We created a monster." "We set him loose on the world." "I wouldn't worry too much about that." "I get the feeling that we'll be tracking down Mr. Gray again soon." "That's not the point!" "He had a soul,bennet." "He could've been saved." "We're not missionaries." "If they had wanted us to bring him in,that would've been the assignment." "It wasn'T." "We follow orders,elle." "We're agents." "That's what we do." "Now excuse me." "My ride is here." "Where to,my friend?" "Jfk,please." "we should call peter." "Maybe we should wait." "Until what?" "Until we have something to tell him." "I'm sorry.He's gone." "He suffered a massive coronary,brought on by anterior myocardial infarction." "There was-- there was nothing we could do." "Heart attack?" "I'd like a cremation as soon as possible." "Why don't you go home and get some rest?" "We can deal with the paperwork in the morning." "I can't believe it." "He's dead." "It's done." "Yes." "I understand." "She wants a cremation." "I can procure another body,of course." "I'm afraid the poison caused irreversible damage to the peripheral nervous system." "The paralysis will likely be permanent." "I'm sorry." "He's with izzy now." "Izzy." "Thank you." "Izzy." "He hated that dog." "Of course." "It was the only living thing he met that ever disobeyed him." "You remember we would sit with dad out here when we were kids," "Watch as he buried her bones." "Yeah." "Yeah,I can't believe he's gone." "Let's not idolize your father because he's dead." "He wasn't a god." "He was a man... deeply flawed in ways you will never know." "Present day" "He's alive!" "Hiro." "You're back!" "We must warn Angela Petrelli!" "And Nathan!" "And Flint's sister, Meredith, she may be able to" "Hiro slow down!" "Something is wrong." "Usutu!" "No!" "I understand you've been dreaming about me." "Hiro!"
