Why are you telling me all of this?
TCTimothy Carter
Well, I think we have a connection that needs to be honored. I want to say goodbye. I want to apologize for any pain I might have caused you, and I want to release you from this curse you're been under.
I'm not under a curse.
CCarter
Doomed to an endless angry search for vengeance you will never have? I would call that a curse, don't you?
I look at it as more of a hobby, and I will have that vengeance.
CCarter
Vengeance? On what? Look at me. I'm just a regular guy. You thought I'd have horns, huh? Right? I'm not a monster. I'm not the devil. I'm just another human being with flaws, and vices and problems just like anybody else. Forget about me. I'm not worth ruining your life.
Wherever you go, you delusional freak, I will find you and I will kill you, and then, then I will forget about you.
When I was held captive by Red John... I told you that he didn't say anything to me. That was a lie. He recited a poem. "Tyger, Tyger, burning bright/In the forests of the night/What immortal hand or eye/Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"
[reciting the poem with Jane] "In what distant deeps or skies/Burnt the fire of thine eyes?" That's William Blake.
What does it mean?
God made the lamb, but he also made the tiger. You can't have light without darkness. Life without death.
