[The recording turns on in the middle of Tavi’s sentence. His voice is calm, but there’s a hard edge to his words that belies the calm.] -- ‘s how I noticed. There’s still traces of it left.

Maybe I'm a stupid sonvuabitch for thinkin' I could get what I want. [ Desperation hangs heavy on Ben’s words, his tone growing increasingly strident as he speaks. ] It ain't right-- No, it ain't my place.

How did you do it, though? And why?

I never meant it for it to be this way. I just wanted what I thought most folks here wanted: a free ticket out. But nothing's free. Always gotta be some price, some goddamn consequence. 

Only God's got this right.

[ An intermission, as Ben Hawkins moves to snap on the communicator, to confess to the entire network, when he notices that the red light of his communicator is already signaling its recording mode. His next words are quieter under the microscope of public judgment. ]

I brought the damn thing down. The barrier.

[And just before the recording ends, Tavi’s voice again – unsurprised .] Can you undo it?

Ain't that what I said?

I find it a bit hard to believe that one person could have been responsible for it... but if that's the truth then I won't dispute it.

If you were really the cause of it then you must know how the previous barriers worked, what it ran on.

Don't got a clue. I know that ain't helpful... but it's the truth.

Then how were you able to bring it down?

Tavi? Is that you? What's going on? Are you alright?

I wanted it down. I wanted it bad enough and I got it.

Don't got to explain how-- won't make a lick of sense, I'll tell you now. All yous just gotta know is that I did it. And that I'll do what I'm able to fix it.

Is it true, then? Did you bring down the barrier?

Don't know if I should be tellin' you.

You know as much as everyone else that Anna got rid of him.

In fact, I vaguely remember you leaving my dead body laying there.

Still means you're a highway for him, don't it?

[ Pause- He doesn't mean to make to make Sam the bad guy here, but telling anyone about his powers, it's only natural for him become a little testy and defensive.]

I know.

They got a right to know, Anna.

I've never said that they didn't. I just wasn't certain you were ready to tell them.
