- Mohinder Suresh: [voice-over] There are nearly seven billion people on this planet. Each one unique, different. What are the chances of that? And why? Is it simply biology, physiology that determines this diversity? A collection of thoughts, memories, experiences that carve out our own special place? Or is it something more than this? Perhaps there's a master plan that drives the randomness of creation, something unknowable that dwells in the soul, and presents each one of us with a unique set of challenges, that will help us discover who we really are.
- Claire Bennet: [of Sylar] I can't believe he's really dead.
- Noah Bennet: He's really dead Claire. He really is...
- Sylar: You'll get bored, after like a hundred years of trying to off me, watching all your loved ones drop like flies. You may eventually come to forgive me. Maybe you'll even love me.
- Claire Bennet: I'll keep trying to kill you - for the rest of my life.
- Sylar: Well, everybody needs a hobby.
- [Sylar has Danko against the wall]
- Emile Danko: Go ahead, get it over with. My men will be here any second to collect Petrelli.
- Sylar: [holding a knife to Danko's lips] Sshh-sh-sh-sh-sh... I know. I got plans for them.
- [he turns Nathan Petrelli around, who is lying unconscious on the floor]
- Sylar: Hell, I've plans for all of us.
- Emile Danko: You gonna kill him?
- Sylar: Later. Right after I absorb all of his memories. It's a little ability Angela Petrelli fed me like a snack. Because Nathan, and... by Nathan I mean 'I', have a rendezvous with destiny tomorrow. President's giving a speech at the Stanton Hotel; Senator Petrelli is gonna be there to have a little meeting with him right afterwards.
- Emile Danko: What for?
- Sylar: Nothing. Just to shake his hand. And when I do, I'm gonna be the most powerful man in the world.
- [Bennet calls Claire]
- Claire Bennet: Hello?
- Noah Bennet: Thank God! Where are you?
- Claire Bennet: I'm with Nathan.
- Noah Bennet: Are you sure it's him?
- Claire Bennet: [holding a finger to her lips] Ssshhh... Oh, it's him. Don't worry.
- Noah Bennet: How do you know?
- [she turns into...]
- Sylar: Because it's me.
- [Bennet and Danko are imprisoned in the same cell]
- Emile Danko: How the hell did you do it? Deal with all of this? Can't capture all of 'em, can't contain 'em - there are no rules. Not even gravity.
- Noah Bennet: It's all about spinning plates. Living in the gray area, so many years of middle management becomes second nature.
- Emile Danko: So in twenty years, I'll get it?
- Noah Bennet: Twenty years and an adopted daughter. If I didn't have Claire I'd be following the same dogma that took you right over the edge. I'd be exactly in your position.
- Emile Danko: You *are* exactly in my position.
- Noah Bennet: ...Yeah.
- Sylar: [checking out Nathan's past] Your diploma says you graduated with honors from Annapolis. These cuff links tell me a different story. Politicians.
- [Sylar, impersonating Nathan Petrelli, and Claire arrive at the Stanton Hotel]
- Liam Samuels: Nathan! It's good to see you, man.
- Sylar: This is my daughter Claire. Claire, this is...
- [he shakes hands with Samuels]
- Sylar: ...Liam.
- Claire Bennet: Samuels. President's chief of staff.
- ["Nathan" looks at her, stunned]
- Claire Bennet: I live in America.
- [Angela awakes, startled]
- Claire Bennet: You okay? D'you've a dream?
- Angela Petrelli: It's Nathan.
- Claire Bennet: What about him?
- Angela Petrelli: He's...
- Claire Bennet: He's what?
- Angela Petrelli: In trouble.
- Noah Bennet: He's not the only one.
- Noah Bennet: I take it the President agreed to it?
- Nathan Petrelli: Funding, resources, deniability... I told them I found just the man to head up our new... What were we gonna call it?
- Noah Bennet: I always liked "The Company."
- Mohinder Suresh: [voice-over] We are all connected, joined together by an invisible thread, infinite in its potential and fragile in its design. Yet while connected, we are also merely individuals, empty vessels to be filled with infinite possibilities, an assortment of thoughts, beliefs, a collection of disjointed memories and experiences... Can I be me without these? Can you be you?
- [last lines of Volume IV]
- Mohinder Suresh: [voice-over] And if this invisible thread that holds us together were to sever, to cease, what then? What would become of billions of lone, disconnected souls? Therein lies the great quest of our lives, to find, to connect, to hold on. For when our hearts are pure, and our thoughts in line, we are all truly one, capable of repairing our fragile world, and creating a universe of infinite possibilities.
