Quotes 

• Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  Brother versus brother... it's almost biblical.

  Peter Petrelli : My brother can't walk through walls! Who are you?

  [Nathan turns into Sylar, who it was all along] 

  Sylar : An old friend... the guy they blamed for blowing up New York. But you and I know the real history, don't we Pete?

• Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  I'm the leader of the free world. For all I know, I'm the most special person there is. Lord knows I found enough power, that there are lot of people - like this girl named Candice who allowed me to become President. But I am done. I just wanna eliminate the competition. I don't need any more power specially not after you.

  [Claire turns to leave but is frozen in place by "Nathan"; a strange humming noise is heard as blood streams down Claire's face] 

• Mohinder Suresh : But we cannot change who they are, Mr. President.

  Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  So in other words, we failed.

  Mohinder Suresh : No, no. The measures that we put in place...

  Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  They're not working!

• Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  These events are increasing. People are anticipating another Sylar. In your original assessment you posited a possible solution. Extinction.

  Mohinder Suresh : Yes, but I never meant to suggest that...

  Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan, reading from report]  "They wouldn't be the first species to be exterminated for the preservation of another". Your words.

  Mohinder Suresh : I was talking about the natural order of things. What you're talking about is genocide.

• Mohinder Suresh : [to Sylar, as Nathan]  You're one of them, Nathan! Am I supposed to march you off to the gas chambers as well?

  Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  I'm thankful for the secrets you kept. But let's be honest. I can fly. I'm hardly dangerous.

  [regarding people's powers] 

  Nathan Petrelli : I value your opinion as a scientist and friend. But f I gave you five years... ten years, twenty more years... be honest with me. Could you reverse it?

  Mohinder Suresh : No. Probably not.

  Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  Then we need to start thinking about "Plan B".

• Mohinder Suresh : But what happens when people start dying?

  Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  I'll say you made a mistake. A fatal error. At first the world will mourn. They'll be united in grief. And then they'll just be united.

• Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan, to Mohinder]  I understand how things work.

• Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  I thought you were dead. You have no idea how important you are for me Claire.

  Claire Bennet : I am not important. I am just a waitress.

  Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  We both know that is not true.

  Claire Bennet : You made everyone afraid of us.

  Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  I made everyone aware of us. Fear is just a natural response. We can't blame them really. We are more powerful than they are; more important, we are special.

  Claire Bennet : Who are you to decide who is special and who is not?

• Matt Parkman : [on the phone]  The Haitian's down. The Haitian is down.

  Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan, on the phone]  What about Nakamura?

  Matt Parkman : [on the phone]  I can't get to him, Sir. Your brother is holding us off. If I don't get reinforcements now, it's all over, Sir. Nakamura will escape.

• Nathan Petrelli : [Sylar posing as Nathan]  Get in there Parkman, end this!

  Matt Parkman : Yes, Sir! Move it!
