This bad guy, he's SO unnerving. There's something deeply off about him, and yet he has this sympathetic viewpoint. And that comment about at least the people he kills can come back ... ::shiver::

I quite like Paul's girlfriend, as well. Slightly disappointed Mac didn't get to stay in ep 5, though. ;)
