Odessa. Ivan is now chained to a chair with his hands behind his back as Bennet interrogates him about the ElderPaintings. Ivan just blathers that he's not in the business anymore and has nothing to say about any paintings. Bennet orders Ivan to cut the crap and tell Bennet where the paintings are. "You think you intimidate me?" gruffs Ivan. "I trained you! You and your invisible partner, Claude! I taught you everything!" Bennet gets up into his face: "Then you know what I'm capable of. Don't make me do this!" When Ivan doesn't give up the goods, Bennet steps back, and the Haitian Sensation steps forward. Bennet informs Ivan that if he doesn't spill on the paintings, the Haitian Sensation will perform the neat little trick of erasing all the memories Ivan holds dear. He then lists several potential valuable memories Ivan might have, such as his wedding day and the births of his sons, but Ivan still doesn't cave. So the Haitian Sensation stretches out his hand...
...and when we return from the break, Bennet's asking Ivan details about his wife, but of course, the man can't remember a thing. This spooks him, but he still refuses to talk. Bennet's phone rings; it's Claire, asking to borrow the car for a cheerleader outing that night. Bennet agrees, but only if she promises to lock the damn thing this time. For no reason whatsoever, Claire grows suspicious of her father's whereabouts and asks where he is. He lies that he's in Tulsa. Claire tries to dig deeper, her brow furrowing with concern. Bennet just gets off the phone after they exchange "I love you"s. West shows up with a ski mask, and Claire says she's in.
In Odessa, Ivan taunts Bennet with the statement that it must be difficult for Claire, always worrying about being discovered: "Aren't you tired of running?" Bennet says that he's doing all this to protect her, but Ivan's not buying it: "You can't hide forever." Bennet orders the Haitian Sensation to remove every trace of the Bennet clan from Ivan's memory. Ivan tells him to wait: family is important to him, just like it is to Bennet, and maybe they can make a deal. Unfortunately, the deal Ivan offers is renewed membership in The Company. Considering the fact that Bennet's trying to BRING DOWN the damn place, this deal falls on deaf ears. Bennet looks up and sees a picture across the room featuring Ivan, his wife, two boys, and a girl. He seems to consider this as Ivan hisses that he'll get his life back as well as all the information on the paintings he wants. Dude. He can take your memories away and he HATES The Company -- what the hell makes you think he's going to go for ANYTHING you suggest? You really should go back to clowning.
