Thompson states that he thinks the Haitian Sensation has gone rogue and taken a "pie-slice" of Bennet's memory with him. "He did the same thing to your wife and son," he says. Bennet wants to know when he can go after his daughter, but Thompson says that can't be his errand. "She's my daughter," says Bennet. "She's an assignment," says Thompson. "Or have you forgotten? We gave her to you. Took her out of a bassinet, put her in your hands, and told you to take her home. And that's after you said, 'No, thank you.' Now, I appreciate you taking an interest in her beyond the needs of the assignment, butâ¦that indulgence endsâ¦now." Damn, Roberts is awesome in this scene. Bennet's like, what, I'm supposed to do nothing here? Thompson's like, uh, no, you're supposed to do whatever I tell you to do, company man. Thompson leaves him, passing a two-way mirror as he goes.
Behind the mirror, Matt Parkman has been watching the entire scene. When he enters the room, Thompson walks over to Matt, who has Missy Peregrym from Stick It perched over his shoulder. "Well, what do we think?" asks Thompson. "He's telling the truth," says Matt. "He doesn't know anything." "Cool!" says Missy. "You owe me five bucks." Thompson kind of shoots her a look like, "I don't owe you jack, princess." He beckons Missy to join him as he walks out, and Matt's like, wait a second, dude! We had a deal! I help you, you let me go! Thompson's like, dude, I'm Eric Roberts. Have you seen NOTHING I've ever been in? You can't trust me! I'm skeevy! Catch ya later, homes!
Elsewhere across the country, the Haitian Sensation and Claire are arriving at a roadside truck stop. He comments that Claire hasn't said anything all day and Claire's like, "Hey, up until recently, you weren't all that chatty yourself, my friend. Thought you liked it that way." Claire wants to know where they're going, and he says that as soon as he knows where they're going, he'll tell her. Then she asks when she can go back to her family and he's like, "Uh, when they have a house that doesn't reek of radiation and there's not a bounty on your head? How about you think on THAT for a second, sweetheart?" He tells her that she knows why she can't go back to them and what she's running from, and then he says that if she gets captured by the OWI, they'll do things to her that even she won't be able to recover from. "Great!" she says. "Thanks, DAD." "You cannot understand the level of sacrifice he made so you might live," says the Haitian Sensation. "You must honor that."
