S1 E15Unfinished Business

The spread of the digits, V-shaped. It's too wide for one of those creatures. Configuration closer to that of an eagle. Of course much, much larger.

Hey, we're looking for Big Bird.

Don't be ridiculous. Perhaps a pterodactyl.

So this thing has the claws of a lion and the fangs of a snake?

It reminds me of a woman I once knew in Cleveland.

Walter, these punctures are over four inches apart. And that would make this snake eight-feet long.

Her name was Harriet something.

How is everything?

Well, apparently you're looking for a lion-snake named Harriet.

Walter, have you got any idea what kind of animal would be in a lab that could do this?

Well, judging by the wounds, I'd say two or three different ones, actually.

Right, a motley crew of lab animals got together and decided to exact their revenge on mankind.

Is that....

Yeah, a Geiger Counter.

Not a rad -- I thought you might have teleported to New York in your sleep and killed her. Wouldn't that have been wondrous? But even the most controlled matter to energy transmutation leaves behind some background radiation. Ergo, you were not actually there!

Great, well I'm glad we got that cleared up...

New York it is.

I love New York! We could catch a show! PIPPEN! [starts to sing] Cats fit on the windowsill, children fit in the snow...

Walter, you're staying here [to Astrid] I'll make it up to you.

[still singing, softly] Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?

That is the Jackson 5, right?

[nods, sadly] Absolutely.

Consider this...What is mankind's oldest dream?

World Peace?

Oh hardly. It's a social construct imposed by an awareness of our own mortality.

Should have gone with 'great taste, less filling' huh?

What is the greatest desire of the weak, of the subjugated, of the man whose fire is stolen by an opponent whose only advantage is the luck of superior size?

We're stealing fire?

I think we're cavemen in this story.

Whose woman is wrenched away by brutality and force?

Sexist cavemen at that.

Simple. To kill with thought. To wish someone dead. To murder with the mind.

Come on, that's ridiculous!

You're right, I'm sure. Unless of course it happens again.

You know, until this year I'd never actually been to a mental hospital.

Learn to like new things.

Nick Lane may be turning into a walking epidemic. As his emotions become more intense, he may become more contagious.

Great...Why can't 'more angry' ever translate into less dangerous?

(Olivia is agitated as Walter stimulates REM sleep to find Nick Lane)

Peter. Help her. Help her calm down. Go ahead son.

(Peter takes Olivia's hands in his, and she begins to relax)

We have another monster on the loose?

Ah, no sir. Walter said the teeth marks are definitely human.

I can just about remember when a suspect being human was a given, not an option.

[singing] C1 Cervical Vertebra's connected to the C2 Cervical Vertebrae. C2 Cervical Vertebra's connect to the C3 Cervical Vertebrae....

Walter, that's enough.

When you finally meet a nice girl, I would avoid bringing her home for as long as possible.

[to her sister] Now this is just one of those things that you're gonna look back on and you're gonna say 'I beat that too.'

You really think it's a good idea to let him have free range in Walter's Believe It Or Not Emporium? ... And just for the record? One mad scientist is my limit.
