Primatech Paper Co. is a paper production/distribution company located in Odessa, TX. Unknown to the local populace, Primatech is actually a front for The Company: an evolved human-tracking organization at which Mr. Bennet is employed. Inside the company's warehouse is a secret high-tech medical facility, as well as several modern offices - a stark contrast to the old wood paneling in the public entrance.

About
Seven Minutes to Midnight
Mr. Bennet gets out of his car and goes inside the facility. He swipes a card and enters a secure warehouse. Inside the warehouse is a small building where Eden is waiting for him. Mr. Bennet and Eden McCain discuss Isaac Mendez's withdrawal from heroin. Mr. Bennet enters the modest living quarters in which Isaac is being kept. The talk about Isaac's powers of precognition, including his prophetic paintings. Isaac does not want to take any more drugs.
After bumping into Lisa, Mr. Bennet walks into a hallway and finds his daughter, Claire, who has a "paper emergency". He directs Claire to the paper sample room, and directs Eden to coerce Isaac to inject some heroin, after which he paints a new painting.
Homecoming
Mr. Bennet is not pleased with the somewhat abstract red man on fire that Isaac has painted. Attempting to sway Eden to convince Isaac to retake drugs, Mr. Bennet shows Eden photographs of some of Sylar's victims, including Charlie
Six Months Ago
The Haitian brings Eden to Mr. Bennet. Despite Eden's best efforts to use her powers, the Haitian suppresses them.
Fallout
Eden waits outside Sylar's cell for Mr. Bennet to arrive. Mr. Bennet enters the secure room as Eden waits outside. Mr. Bennet tells Sylar that his abilities won't work here. They tensely discuss his name, his former occupation, intuitive aptitude, having multiple powers, and Claire.
Outside the cell, the Haitian listens to Eden implore Mr. Bennet to let her persuade Sylar to kill himself, but Mr. Bennet refuses. Eden enters Isaac's room, and they discuss the message, the explosion, and Eden's plans to leave. She discretely hands the painter a cell phone and security key card. She then heads for Sylar's cell, in an attempt to carry out her plan. It backfires: Sylar pulls her through the glass and threatens to kill her. Instead, Eden turns the gun on herself.
Godsend
A SWAT team raids the building because Matt believes they are hiding Sylar. When he's not found, Elisa Thayer scolds Matt, who was spotted on the surveillance camera staking out the building, and suspends Audrey for going on no evidence, only Matt's hunch. Matt then pins Mr. Bennet to the wall and tells him he knows Sylar's hiding here and he will find out where. Mr. Bennet responds by saying "good luck with that," and walks away.
The Fix
Hank examines a comatose Sylar in the holding room, and is later murdered when Sylar revives.
Distractions
Mr. Bennet discovers Hank's dead body in Sylar's cell. Sylar escapes the facility, locks up his former captor, and impersonates a Primatech employee.
Unexpected
Hana learns that a shipment of pneumatic syringes is destined for Primatech.
Company Man
Ted and Matt debate whether to confront Mr. Bennet at Primatech or at the Bennets' home. When they hold the family hostage, they demand to know what purpose Primatech serves and what Mr. Bennet's real job is. Matt and Mr. Bennet go to Primatech to ostensibly gather evidence and files from a secure room. Mr. Bennet also retrieves a tranquilizer. Leaving, Mr. Bennet confronts the Haitian about his conspiracy with Claire.
Parasite
In the medical facility, Thompson questions Mr. Bennet about Claire's whereabouts as Matt telepathically listens in.
.07%
The Company holds Mr. Bennet, Matt Parkman, and Ted Sprague in secret cells. Realizing Matt must be nearby, Bennet communicates with him by thinking "loudly" to him. Using his knowledge of the facility, Company procedures, and the powers of the two evolved humans, Bennet orchestrates their escape from the facility.
Five Years Gone
Bennet is testing a young boy to see if he is an evolved human. When tested positive, he tells the boy's parents about having a new life to protect their son, while Hana gives them fake documents for their identity. Future Hiro asks Bennet for the help of some of those he turned to him for protection, but is turned down. Ando tells Bennet that Future Hiro saved his daughter, changing Bennet's mind to "see what (he) can do". Later, while waiting for Bennet, Future Hiro and Ando are surprised by Matt and his team attempting to capture the two. Peter stops time and teleports the two to Las Vegas. After ransacking the building and killing Hana, Bennet is questioned by Matt of the location of Claire, and kills Bennet after getting the answer.
