Minutes later, Bennet bursts through the front door of his house in search of his daughter. Instead, all he finds is his wife, duct-taped to a chair. He removes the tape on her mouth, and she tells him that Tobby took Claire. Bennet says that they're getting her back, because he has collateral. West walks in with the unconscious Elle slung over his shoulder. "Hi, Mrs. Butler!" says West cheerfully. "It's good to...uh...see you again!" He carts Elle off into another room as Bennet turns to his wife: "Did you pack Mr. Muggles's doggie bath?" Hee.
The next thing we see is a shot of Elle's feet from above, immersed in a tub of water. She's chained to a chair with what appear to be three of Mr. Muggles's leashes. Awesome. Bennet sprays Elle with water from the sink, and she comes to. Her whole body is soaking wet. Bennet replaces the sprayer in the sink and crosses his arms. After a pause, he says, "I need to speak with your father." "What, do you think this is my first day?" she snits, gearing up for some electroshock therapy. Unfortunately, the water acts as a conduit...to her own head. The electricity races through her body. "Stings like a bitch, doesn't it?" snarks Bennet. HA! He says that he knows all about Elle's ability, and that he was there when her father brought her in; she was just a normal little girl back then. Then they started testing her. "The human brain isn't built to take that much electricity," he says. "You poor girl." Elle says that her father would never let that happen to her. "Your father was leading the charge," he says. "I don't remember any of that," says Elle. Hm. Kind of like someone...took those memories away? I have no idea if he's lying right now or not, but whatever he's doing, it's totally working on Elle; she's seriously considering that her father sold her out as a freak to The Company. "Why do you think I never let The Company get their hands on Claire?" he asks her, getting right up in her face. "I didn't want her to become you." He says that he wants to arrange an exchange with Tobby: Elle for Claire. Elle asks what happens if Tobby doesn't want to make a trade. "You'd be surprised with a father will do for his daughter," says Bennet.
