S1 E15Unfinished Business

In every life, there comes a day of reckoning. A time when unsettled scores demand their retribution. And our own lies and transgressions are finally laid bare.

GGordon

I trust you had a pleasant nap, Miss Clarke. Rather than waste my time on a wild goose chase, I thought I'd give you the opportunity to tell me where you've hidden Grayson's evidence. In return, I may even let your friend here live.

Actually, he doesn't concern me.

[sarcastically] Gee, don't surgarcoat it, Ems.

GGordon

Well, if that's the case, I take back my offer.

The evidence that you want is in locker 428 at the Port Authority bus terminal. The orange key from my keychain will open it.

GGordon

If that's true, what's to stop me from killing you right now?

I could be lying.

She's really quite good at it.

[opening voiceover] Destiny. To believe that a life is meant for a single purpose, one must also believe in a common fate. Father to daughter, brother to sister, mother to child. Blood ties can be as unyielding as they are eternal. But it is our bonds of choice that truly light the road we travel. Love versus hatred. Loyalty against betrayal. A person's true destiny can only be revealed at the end of his journey... and the story I have to tell is far from over.

SSatoshi

You would throw away your training on the unsupported assumption that your mother remains alive.

Dead or alive, I'm gonna find out what happened to her. And when I do, God help the people who kept me from her. And that includes you.

[closing voiceover] Some say that to believe in destiny is to dismiss the role of free will. That self-determination cannot prevail in the presence of fate. When the truth is, the only part of destiny we can control is the fate we choose for another.

[opening voiceover] For those who believe in resurrection, death is inconsequential. It's not an ending, but rather a new beginning... a second chance. A reunion. But the very idea of resurrection is so seductive a concept, it's easy to forget, before you can rise from the dead... you have to spend a few days in hell.

[closing voiceover] For those who believe in the resurrection, death is inconsequential. In the resurrection, those that were dead live, and those who live believe they shall never die.

Don't you think it's a little bit dangerous to be catnapping out in the open? Or are you actually baiting the white-haired Mannibal Lecter to come for you?

He's not gonna kill me.

Oh, really? Did he pinkie swear?

I don't think my employees have any respect for me.

Why would they? You're not wearing pants.

Well, I mean, they don't know that. You know, I once did a video interview with Katie Couric butt-naked in my jacuzzi. She had no idea.

[opening voiceover] In a race between danger and indecision, the difference between life and death comes down to confidence. Faith in our abilities, certainty in ourselves, and the trust we put in others.

[opening voiceover] Some think intuition is a gift. But it can be a curse, as well. A voice calling us from places that are better left unexplored. An echo of memories that will never die, no matter how hard we try to kill them.

[closing voiceover] When at a crossroads, my father was fond of saying "Go with your gut." Intuition, he said, always has our best interests at heart. It is a voice that can tell us who is friend and who is foe. Which ones to hold at arm's length, and which ones to keep close. But too often, we become distracted by fear, doubt, our own stubborn hopes, and refuse to listen.

[opening voiceover] They say let he who is without sin cast the first stone. And to be without sin requires absolute forgiveness. But when your memories are freshly opened wounds, forgiveness is the most unnatural of human emotions.

[closing voiceover] Over time, we commit acts with intentions, either good or bad, that require forgiveness.
