About

Parasite

After the death of Simone, Isaac asks Mr. Bennet what he should do, to which Mr. Bennet responds that he must paint. After searching the apartment for his hidden stash of heroin, Isaac shoots up and paints four canvases that depict gruesome images of his death. One canvas is left blank.

Notes

• The images in the "Isaac Dead" series match the murder scene that Hiro Nakamura discovers when he visits Isaac's apartment on his very first trip to the future (in Don't Look Back).
• According to corinthianlasvegas.com, the series of paintings are part of Linderman's archives, and are titled Inevitable. In the Corinthian's version of the fifth painting, Sylar is not present.
• According to Tim Sale, there's "one more [painting] in the series, but it's secret."
• Tim Sale posted full-size black and white versions of the first four paintings. Because Tim is colorblind, Dave Stewart does the coloring.

Trivia

• During the montage of images from the series in Parasite, portions of the fifth painting were included, even though Isaac didn't paint it until .07%. The wide shot of the entire series correctly shows only the first four paintings plus a blank canvas.
• According to an NBC auction of the painting of Sylar standing over Isaac, the piece measures 55" x 36" x 1".
