Recurring Role |
In the DVD commentary, it is mentioned that Matthew Armstrong (Ted Sprague) did his own stunts during the "exploding" scene. Because of the intense heat, crew members would run over between takes and cover Armstrong with a wet blanket to prevent him from burning or suffering heat stroke.
When Claire is approaching Ted Sprague, her sking and clothing all start to burn, but the glass syringe in her hand remains intact. Although glass has a melting temperature that is around 1500ºC (2732ºF), it should break at only 150 - 200ºC (302ºF - 392ºF). For comparison, the temperature of a candle flame is around 1227ºC (2240ºF).
Also, Claire's hair should have caught fire even before her skin and clothes, but after she leaves the house, her hair is just sooty.
After the Bennet family enter their house (before Parkman and Ted show up), Mr. Bennet and Claire are talking and he grabs her arm, but Claire shook's him off and yells at him, then Parkman and Ted appear and it goes to commercials.
After the commercial, the scene repeats, but this time, Claire and Mr. Bennet argue and Parkman with Ted appear,eliminating the part when Mr. Bennet grabs Claire's arm.
Mr. Bennet's glasses are not actually horn-rimmed, but are a Browline Ronsir style. During the flashback he does try on a pair of horn-rimmed glasses, but Claire tells him they look like "grandpa glasses." so he tries the last pair on which they decide he should keep.
The roof that Mr. Nakamura presents Mr. Bennet with baby Claire is the roof of the Deveaux building, where Claude currently is keeping his pigeons, and where Peter tended to Mr. Deveaux prior to his death.
When Claire goes to stop Ted through his radiation field. It's similar to "X-Men 3" when Wolverine had to stop the "Phoenix" by going through the fiery heat to stop her.
In this episode it is shown when HRG told Claire she was adopted. In the flashback she doesn't look much younger than she does now, which is wrong because in the third or fourth episode she told Zach that she found out about being adopted when she was very young.
Goof: If Claire was shot, and a bullet was inside of her, wouldn't someone need to take it out before she could heal?
Explanation: She coughed it up, therefore she didn't need someone to remove it, it came out.
This is a bit geeky, but during the flashback with Mr. Bennet and Hiro's father at one point the subtitles read: "You and your wife have been trying to conceive, Yes?"
The Y of the "Yes" should not be a capital letter as it is not the start of a new sentence.
As incredible as the scene where Claire stopped Ted was, couldn't the Haitian have just used his powers to supress Ted's. He's done it many times before at a fair distance away from his targets and the fact that Ted couldn't control his power shouldn't have stopped the Haitian stopping it.
EXPLANATION: The Hatian only blocks mental powers, such as Matt's telepathy and Sylar's telekenesis. This is why Peter and Claude were able to maintain their invisibility around him as well as Peter being able to stop time and fly off.
Given the amount of damage Ted caused to the Bennet house using radiation, it's pretty certain that the radiation levels to which HRG was exposed would be high enough to kill a person in a very short period of time. However, HRG still managed to escape the incident without even minor radiation burns.
Goof:Ted Sprague gets mad at Mr. Bennet and kicks him, but his hands do not catch on fire.
There is a scene where Matt tried to listen to HRG's thoughts but he was thinking in Japanese. There were no subtitles but HRG was actually thinking, "I must save my family. Protect them at any cost."
This is the first time that we meet Mr. Bennet and the Haitian's direct employer, Thompson (guest star Eric Roberts).
This episode tells us that Hiro's father has or did have some connection with "The company." It is possible that he doesn't have these connections at this current time due to the fact that Hiro has powers of his own.
Mr. Bennet: (to Thompson) People are fragile, like tea cups. All around them the world is changing but they simply don't want to deal with it. They don't want to know what is happening to us as a species.
(as part of Bennet's ruse, Matt has just shot Claire)
Sandra: (terrified) No, no no no no no. CLAIRE! (to Matt) WHAT DID YOU DO?
Ted: (to Matt) WHAT did you do that for?
Bennet: (about Ted, in thoughtspeak) To gain his trust.
Matt: Now he knows how far we'll go.
(Flashback to 3 years ago, when Claire is helping Mr. Bennet pick his first pair of glasses)
Claire: Let's see. (Mr. Bennet tries on a pair of glasses) Those are grandpa glasses.
Mr. Bennet: Ouch. (takes them off and picks up another pair) Ok, how about these? (he puts them on; Claire laughs) What?
Claire: (laughing) Grandma glasses.
(Mr. Bennet and Thompson view Ted, who is locked up in a containment cell similar to Sylar's)
Thompson: (about Ted) Now that we have him, we'll keep Sprague sedated...find out what gives him his "spark."
Mr. Bennet: And then?
Thompson: What do you think?
Ted: (to Claire) I'm curious about something. Did Parkman know, when he shot you, that you wouldn't die? Did your dad tell him that?
Claire: I don't know.
Ted: (about Matt and HRG) That explains why they were so chummy when they came down the stairs.
Sandra: (to Claire) I always thought you were a miracle. I didn't know how much of one till now.
Claire: I'm not a miracle, Mom.
Sandra: You were dead. Anytime someone rises from the dead...(short pause) I'd say that's a miracle.
Claire: I don't know what I am. I don't know if God made me this way or someone else.
Ted: God didn't make me this way.
Sandra: (to Ted) God makes us all the way we are. (sighs; to Claire) "I walked through fire and didn't get burned." You were trying to tell me.
Claire: I was...trying not to tell you.
Matt: (to Ted) Do you want revenge, or do you want the truth? You can't have both.
(Matt is trying to read Mr. Bennet's mind and finds he's thinking in Japanese)
Matt: Son of a bitch is thinking in Japanese.
Ted: Why are you thinking in Japanese?! Huh?
Matt: (After listening to Claire's thoughts) He's got them all fooled, except for her.
Ted: (To Mr. Bennet) Just when you thought plausible deniability was gonna save your ass.
Mr. Bennet: I don't know you.
Ted Sprague: Don't insist on lying. You're gonna upset me. You know what happens when I get upset. ( looking at Claire) I get very bright, and very hot.
Thompson: He's already here.
Mr. Bennet: Is this a test? (Claude appears on edge of desk) Holy shoot! How did you….how did…how is…how is that….?
Claude: It's a brave new world, friend.
Mr. Nakamura: (about Claire) Don't get too close. You're only her surrogate father. She belongs to us. If she manifests, we'll take her.
Mr. Bennet: Of course.
Mr. Bennet: I think my wife suspects something. She went through my bag. She found my gun and my sedation kit.
Thompson: That's a particular kind of stupid on your part, letting her find them.
Mr. Bennet: I know, I know. The baby's been keeping me up for days, it was sloppy. I think Sandra thinks I'm some kind of a serial killer.
Thompson: (about the young Haitian) When we asked him to describe his ability he drew a picture of himself pulling memories like little grub worms out of someone's head. I wanted to put it on my fridge.
Mr. Bennet: Guess who found out you can talk? Who've you been talking to? Who else knows about Claire?
Haitian: Just her and I. But that will change.
Mr. Bennet: She wasn't supposed to remember any of this. I gave you specific instructions.
Haitian: I answer to someone whose instructions supersede yours.
Mr. Bennet: In this company?
Haitian: In your daughter's life.
Mr. Bennet: I know who I work for.
Raines: So do I. I was in the office when they told you to kill me.
Mr. Bennet: Then why'd you get in the car?
Raines: Evidently I think you're a better man than they do.
Ted: Then why the theatrics of shooting the girl who can't die?
Matt: It's better than shooting one that can.
Mr. Bennet: There's no cure. We can't change the way you are. The only choice was to kill you.
Ted: I wish you had.
Mr. Bennet: It was my call. You had a life. Who was I to take it from you?
Mr. Bennet/HRG : You used to believe in what we do.
Claude: I used to believe in the tooth fairy.
(3 years ago)
HRG: Claire Bear, talk to me.
Claire: Try these on. (Pushes horned-rimmed glasses toward him.)
HRG:(tries them on) How do I look?
Claire: Like my dad.
Claire: (thinking) I can run. Get some help. They can't hurt me.
Matt: I know you're thinking about being a hero. Don't. Don't! This guy is serious and he is really and he's really dangerous and I need your help to make sure that nobody gets hurt.
Claire: You can read my mind.
Matt: Yeah. Yeah, that's something your dad did to me.
Claire: It didn't just happen?
Matt: I wouldn't be here right now if it just happened.
Claire: Has my dad done this to other people?
Matt: Yeah, as far as I can tell. It's different with everyone. I've seen some weird things. I'm sure you have, too. Like that stuff at your school.
Claire: (thinking) Peter Petrelli.
Matt: Peter Petrelli? He can do what I can do. What do you know about him?
Claire: (thinking) He can do what I can do. (aloud) He's different...like you.
Matt: Save the cheerleader. I read his mind, he read mine. He told me to protect you...from someone who was killing people like me. Are you different, Claire? Your blood was all over that crime scene. And you didn't have a scratch on you. Why didn't you have a scratch on you?
Claire: (thinking) I can heal. (aloud) Did my dad make me this way?
Ted: He killed my wife, only fair I kill his -- and with his own gun, too!
HRG: Go deep. Destroy anything that would lead them to her!
(Mr. Muggles is barking)
Ted: I've had enough of that.
(Ted picks up Mr. Muggles)
Matt: Don't!
Ted: I'm not going to nuke the dog!
Claire(crying): Dad?
Mr. Bennet: I love you Claire Bear
(14 years ago)
Mr. Nakamura (To Mr Bennet): Having children changes a man.
Claire: (To Matt.) He isn't a paper salesman.
Ted: Guess she isn't daddy's little girl anymore.
Claire: (As Matt reads her mind.) This is your fault. (To her dad.)
H.R.G.: You didn't grow inside your mother. You grew inside our hearts.
Ted: If you are not back in an hour, look for a mushroom cloud.
Mr. Bennet: (To Claire) Just do what I say so nobody gets hurt.
Mr. Bennet: And you.
Matt: Yeah?
Mr. Bennet: Do what I think!
H.R.G.: I don't want anyone else dying because of what I did to you.
Ted Do all the words that come out of your mouth sound like lies?
Ted: Kind of poetic, don't you think?
Thompson: So how do you feel about paper?
HRG: Mildly enthusiastic.
Mr. Bennet/HRG: What do you want from me? You come in to my house with guns?
Ted Sprague: Not guns, gun. I don't need a gun. Do I, Mr. Bennet? Not after what you did to me.
Mr. Bennet/HRG: I don't know you.
Ted Sprague: If you insist on lying, you're gonna upset me. You know what happen when I get upset? I get very bright and very hot.
Matt Parkman: No, no, no, no. Ted is going to do us all a favor, right Ted? And he's not gonna get upset. (pointing at Mr. Bennet) But you gotta help.
Mr. Bennet/HRG: I'm not who you think I am. I'm just a paper salesman.
Ted Sprague: No, no. You're not.
HRG: You can hate me all you want but right now this has to be contained, which means you have to stay put!
Claire: What, you want me to play dead? I'm sorry, I'm not Mr. Muggles!
