[first lines]

Claire Bennet:
Are you mad at me? You haven't said anything since I got in the car. Since I told you.

Mr. Bennet:
No, no. I just... I've just been thinking. I have something I need to tell you, it's unfair to keep it from you any longer. What you can do... I've known about you, Claire. I knew before you knew, before you made those tapes with Zach.

Claire Bennet:
You saw the tape? Why didn't you say anything?

Mr. Bennet:
There are a lot of reasons but mostly I just wanted to protect you.

Claire Bennet:
Protect me? All this time I've... felt so alone and like I'm some sort of freak and you knew?

Mr. Bennet:
I've worked very hard, I've done some things that I am not proud of to keep you safe.

Claire Bennet:
What kinds of things?

Mr. Bennet:
I just wanted you to have a normal life.

Claire Bennet:
Did Jackie die because of me? He thought she was me, didn't he?

Mr. Bennet:
That man is taken care of. I promise you.

Claire Bennet:
You and Mom knew all this time?

Mr. Bennet:
Your mother doesn't know, neither does your brother.

Claire Bennet:
Actually Lyle kind of found out.

Mr. Bennet:
Really? Did anybody else?

Claire Bennet:
Just Zach.

Mr. Bennet:
Nobody else can know. It's the only way to keep you safe. That man who tried to kill you, there are others out there like him, who want what you have and will hurt you to get it. That's why we can't tell your mother, we can't tell anybody. Do you understand?

Claire Bennet:
Yeah.

Mr. Bennet:
I'm gonna pick Lyle up from practice. And I'll talk to him, you talk to Zach. And any other tapes you've made, I need you to destroy them.
