Novel #35: It Takes a Village (1 of 4)

Like flowers after the rain.

Who commands the loyalty of the man known only as "the Haitian"? Though he partnered for years with Noah Bennet, the man in horned-rimmed glasses, the Haitian turned against him to aid Claire, Bennet's daughter. Then, he seemed to betray both to Claire's grandmother, Angela Petrelli. Does he take orders from her ... or answer ultimately to an even higher power?

Looks like the Haitian is laden with a lot of guilt...

maybe this is why he stopped talking

One question...

The Haitian was talking to Bennet..
What the heck? Wasn't he not supposed to be talking to him, or anyone for that matter?

Remember, Eden told Bennet when they had sylar captured, "and if the Haitian guy could talk, even he would agree with me", when Eden was talking about killing Sylar..

Rings a bell? I think they goofed a little.. He wasn't supposed to be talking to anyone, even the episode 'Company Man' justifies that enough times. Like for example when Thompson tells HRG about the Haitian kids power and how he describes it using a drawing. And when Bennet realises that the Haitian has been talking, he sort of well, roughs him up a little (I'm not too wordy, so forgive me..).

Comments please?

Shitij -

That bugged me, too.
They definitely emphasized that he was supposedly mute. It was meant to be a shock when he spoke.

The only thing that I could figure is that maybe those were not actually words hat we being spoken to HRG -- but rather his thoughts as he was beginning to 'tell' his story in the novel. Just an internal dialog, maybe?

Otherwise, I can't think of any other explanation...

whatever. :) I'm just happy they finally gave us more info about the coolest of all the heroes: the Haitian!

He wasn't talking, that's what he was thinking.

Jak said...

Or maybe he did talk and then erased the memory of the conversation?

Victoria said...

Bennet even says that the Haitian "isn't going to tell him..." maybe the Haitian got caught up in his emotions and forgot that he wasn't going to talk to anybody, then erased the memory of the conversation, like jak said.

Oh, good point! He could have erased Bennet's memory of the conversation.

I was surprised at first, too, when he started 'speaking'. As the story began, I figured that it was meant to be thoughts rather than speech, but Jak's theory is possible as well.

Yea guys those are his thoughts in the beginning just to start telling the story I don't think he's talking to Bennet looks like a one sided conversation to me...
