(referring to the change of the leadership) Well, you were always better at taking orders than giving them.
You know, one day, Cara's going to order me to kill you. And I won't say no.

First day on the job, I shoot you, I lead us straight into an ambush.
You broke into the Citadel. You saved Charlotte's life.
I got Errol killed.
No, Errol sacrificed himself so that you could save her. That girl has a future now, thanks to both of you.
Appreciate the spin.
It's not spin. Look, I took an actual bullet because I believe in you. I believe in both of us. Either I'm going to find the Refuge, or you're going to build one. Right here.
Or both.
Yeah, okay, or both. Look, I know we're feeling like long shots today, but together? I don't hate our odds.
Look, I understand Stephen is desperate to believe his father is still alive, but you, of all people, should not be giving him false hope.
Stephen is going to do what he wants to do. Regardless of what we think.
If Roger was still out there, I would have seen it when I read Stephen's mind.
Roger was the only one who could have turned the tide in this war. If there is any possibility that he is out there--
And you killed him. And then you lied about it to all of us. And now, worst of all? You're taking advantage of Stephen's vulnerability to make yourself feel better.
I believe that Stephen saw his father.
Even if Stephen has forgiven you, it doesn't mean that your sins have been erased.
Look at her, Cara. If you can't see that she is one of us then you are lost to us as a leader and we are lost as a people.
So this wasn't your plan. That explains the profound recklessness.

(to John) Every time I close my eyes..... it's like I'm back at that place.
(referring to Stephen and John) If I am such a great leader, why can't I get them figured out?
TIT.I.M.
Perhaps you enjoy the thrill of being pursued simultaneously by two equally desirable mates.
It was rhetorical, T.I.M.
TIT.I.M.
Right. Sorry. I'll be quiet.
I heard from Stephen. Julian got away. Doubt he'll forgive and forget.
You stood up to him and won. That's what he won't forget.
He'll come back for me. We'll always have to live with a guard up.
How's that different from how we live now? That's leadership during wartime. There is no end.
This fun just goes on and on.
(referring to Charlotte) Her attacks are starting to attack everyone around her. It's only getting worse. With all they've been through recently, people are starting to talk.
About what?
About kicking her out of the lair. I didn't say I was for it.
Because that's what they do here now? Kick the weak from the herd.
Look maybe the group is just starting to feel a little unsettled. You know, being under new leadership and all. Hey, look, we all feel sorry for the kid.
So what, we just put her back on the street? Let Ultra snatch her up again? Is that what you guys want? Chloe's first month, she screamed in her sleep. And before we trained him, Dunbar's telekinesis was like a firehouse. If we kicked out everyone who showed up with bruises, this place would be empty. Charlotte stays.
I'm trying to do what you said. I'm concentrating on my breathing.
No, you're learning to concentrate on your breathing. Once you master it, you'll be able to... you'll be able to take all that anger, frustration, confusion, and turn it into something good.
How do you know all this?
Well, I was taken by Ultra when I was your age. Maybe even younger.
It seems like you turned out okay.
Well, only after I was able to take my fear of them, what I thought was my greatest weakness, and turn it into something powerful.
How?
By taking all the darkness that's trapped inside you, and using it as a weapon. Close your eyes, Charlotte. Close your eyes. All those horrible memories are like clouds passing through your mind. And the cloud that's about Ultra is black. And it blocks out the sun. But now imagine that you reach out with one hand. You take that black cloud and... (Charlotte throw him across the room)
Destroy it.
(smiles) Destroy it.
S1 E12Sitting Ducks
So, what happened with your mom's boyfriend?
There were times that I was sure he was using his powers. Objects that had to have been TK'd. But when I forced his hand--
Wait, what do you mean, forced his hand?
Uhm... I might have accidentally shoved him off a cliff.
What?!
Yeah. If he has powers, he's willing to die to keep them a secret.
How long do I have to stay here for? Stephen?
Until it's safe.
And when will that be, exactly? What, like, tomorrow? Monday? Longer?
However long it takes.
So, what, you're gonna keep me hostage?
No, of course not. But you have to let us protect you.
You're the reason I need protection in the first place.
HCHillary Cole
Excuse me, Dr. Price, sir? I just wanted to follow up with you regarding your nephew's human confidante, Ms. Finch.
Yes, I have the situation under control.
And Stephen will be reprimanded, the same as everyone else, right?
I don't answer to you, Ms. Cole. And, uh... you know, a strong work ethic is to be commended, but internal sabotage based on ruthless ambition and personal vendetta won't be tolerated.
Yes, but, the girl, you're going to kill her?
If I say "yes," and you smile, you're next, you got it? Yes. But I want you to understand something. You and everyone like you have the privilege of working at this agency for the exclusive benefit of human beings. And when one of them has to be sacrificed for the greater good, it's not a cause for celebration or personal achievement, you got it?
Yes, sir.
(referring to his mother's boyfriend) Look, Cara, I know our kind can't kill, but what if he just chops off our hands and leaves us out here to starve or freeze to death?
Wow, we went straight to the dark place, huh?
Have you seen any horror movies? How are things at the Batcave?
Well, Russ is still laid up, but he hasn't lost his acquired sense of humor. Now I have to listen to his semi-coherent jokes and pretend they're funny.
I can hear you.
I know.
I've always been fighting to survive. Never thought about how I'd want to live if I had the option. Never had dreams like that.
