[ spoilers guys 5.09 ]

I've been going about this all wrong. Human connection wasn't something I was meant to flee, it was something I should have embraced.

It isn't so bad, having someone see behind the mask.

Of course I want her here. I just don't want you here, with her.

And once again she's the preferred choice. Should I just stop trying? Is that it?

Just tell me this, Brian. Why do I have to choose?

Because you choose anyway, and you always choose her! How can you not see this?

[ tries to take some of Bruce's advice to heart here ] Well, maybe.. I'm not choosing this time.

What exactly does that mean? Spell it out for me.

It means, I'm not scared this time, Brian. [ such a lie, but he switches on his video- ] I know who you are now, and I know what that means... and if you really are my one remaining blood relative, who am I to push you away?

And if you respect - my relationship with Debra, maybe we could have an equal - if separate - relationship.

... All you've been doing is pushing me away.

Why is it going to change now?

Because now... I might need you more than ever.

Something I can do that she can't? I know what that entails.

What's going on, little brother?

I might just be in over my head. And Debra's closing in.

Deb's closing in? You are in deep shit, aren't you. What can I do?

I don't know if you can do anything. I have to kill Jordan Chase. But if I do, I'm almost sure she'll find out.

Simple. Have me kill him. I can worldhop there this second if I needed to.

It's - more complicated than that.

A lot more. [ in ways you won't like, he doesn't add ]

Then explain it to me. We'll figure it out. You know you can tell me anything.

It's- not. You won't like it.

Just because I won't like it doesn't mean I won't help.

It's.. her name is Lumen. She's been, helping me.

...Helping you.

Helping you kill people? This must be some pretty extraordinary circumstances.

Or maybe I've been helping her. That's how Deb seems to see it.

Lumen was - attacked. And almost killed, by a group of, inexplicably horrible men. She saw me, kill the first one. It was - chance.

I agreed to finish, to track all of them down and.. but some sloppy footwork by these guys dropped the case in Debra's lap.

And now I'm screwed. And Lumen's all mixed up in this, too. And Harrison's.. safe, with his grandparents. But I'm running out of time.

How do you even get yourself into these messes, little brother? It must be a talent.

But I still don't see why I can't kill the guy for you. What is he, the last one left? I can even drop his body on another world if that makes it easier. Or I can mimic an M.O. I am good at this.

Lumen. Needs to kill him - to complete the ritual. It won't mean anything if she doesn't.

Though, I may not have a choice soon.

Of course. She has to do it. Does she have any idea what she's doing? Killing someone well is an art form, I don't have to tell you that.

I taught her well.
