...and there are quite a few of them, as some of them take up positions down the hallway while two of them open the door. Something that looks like a grenade comes rolling forth, but when it goes off, it merely emits a small burst of light the momentarily blinds the lead guys, leaving Peter free to fly by and out into the night. You'd think the commandos might have thought to secure the outer door when dealing with SOMEONE WHO'S KNOWN TO BE ABLE TO FLY, but I suppose that's why Nathan felt the need to bring Bennet in for training tips.
Matt's washing his face like this whole ordeal is putting so much stress on him as Mohinder anxiously awaits Peter's return. Bennet, just coming out of the drug haze, tells them Peter's been captured or killed, as he, Bennet, never checked in. He mysteriously goes on that Mohinder knows he's right, and his storage unit is under surveillance. Mohinder seems to agree, saying they should go. Matt, however, latches onto Bennet's mention of checking in, and asks whom he was going to report to. Bennet won't say, but as he tries to resist, Matt goes back into his mind...
...and it's now three weeks ago, and Nathan is just bringing Bennet in to meet Danko. The two shake hands, and Bennet observes that the government "spares no penny." Danko seemed to be the trigger for that statement, so does that mean Bennet knows him, or of him, at this point? Anyway, Bennet mentions some ground rules he'd like to implement, oblivious to the fact that Nathan suddenly looks like he's passing a kidney stone, and tells them about the "one of us, one of them" system Primatech implemented. Danko's familiar with it, as he read Bennet's file, but is not so much in favor. Bennet looks taken aback by Danko's resistance, but tries again, saying that a lot of the Heroes they're targeting are good people, "useful people." Danko, however, opines that it's a matter of trust, not ethics, and by the way, Primatech was kind of a mess. Bennet counters that for 20 years, he was able to ensure that people like Danko never knew Heroes existed, but Danko smiles humorlessly. "Don't presume to know anything about me." I think it's safe for him to presume to know this: You're short. Danko walks away, and Bennet turns to Nathan and says he thought he was being brought in to run the operation, and Nathan gives a response about "looking at everything from as many angles as we can" that is such bullshit that I have to spray some air freshener in the direction of my TV.
