"The Sentinel" Trivia Quiz

Answer: No

In Whitely's warehouse workshop, the Mai Tai Killer himself performs the finishing touches on his work of art. Outside, Patrick finds Gino waiting, having been called to the site with the knowledge of the killer's whereabouts. He doesn't have back-up, but despite this, the two of them head in, gun loaded, to face the murderer. Gino muses on what their life could be like if they weren't pursuing a serial killer; Patrick says that the idleness sounds perfect.

The pair eventually come upon Henry, strapped and gagged on an operating table, finding that he's still alive. Whitely knows that they're there, however, and he lets his creation lower from the ceiling to distract them before knocking them both out with a strike to the back of their heads.

Answer: Heart

Patrick wakes up strapped to a worktable, bound and gagged next to Whitely's most recent victim while in another room, Gino struggles to free himself next to Henry. Gino screams for help while Gino urges him to stop; it'll only make things worse. Henry reveals that he's missing an ear-- part of himself that Whitely claimed for his project.

Whitely apologizes to Patrick for using a meat tenderizer to knock him out, but he needed to do something. With the two of them alone, they can finally talk. Whitely tells Patrick that he's a fan-- he admires him for what he goes through on a daily basis at the precinct. Though they're working at cross purposes, he's made a change of plans to his sentinel. He obtained a heart from another body, but Patrick's heart would have a much better place in his beacon of hope for the gay community. It's an honour to him.

Answer: A saw

Henry can only laugh at the circumstances as he looks up at a viscera chart on the wall, realizing the room they're locked inside was once used in the slaughtering of meat. Henry and Gino were put there because that's what Whitley thought of them. Henry manages to tear his right hand out of his cuffs, freeing himself on one side at great pain and expense, but the other cuff is too tight. Gino spots the keys along the far wall, but they're too far. It leaves Henry with no choice but to try the nearby tools to cut through the cuffs, and when that doesn't work, he has to go to extremes. Picking up a saw, he takes the only route he can, bringing the blade to his wrist and cutting away in guilt. His hand falls to the floor as he struggles not to pass out.

In the other room, Whitely meticulously cuts the heart out of his sentinel while Patrick watches. Patrick asks how many people had to die for his sentinel; Whitely claims it doesn't matter as the sentinel must come from their community. The sacrifices were necessary.

Answer: Patrick

Patrick argues that a pile of dead meat doesn't help Whitely's cause, but Whitely has other ideas. Once Patrick's heart is inside the sentinel's body, he'll drain the embalming fluid and perform a full blood transfusion to bring the sentinel back to life. An injection of adrenaline should do it.

The only thing that stops Whitely is the revving of a chainsaw as Gino and Henry emerge from captivity, holding the murderer at bay while he tries to explain himself further. Gino unlocks Patrick's cuffs, freeing him from the table as the detective picks up his gun. Though Whitely begs to see his plan through for the sake of the community, Patrick doesn't listen. Seeing the ghosts of Whitely's victims standing behind, he shoots and kills the Mai Tai Killer, finishing out his case once and for all.

Answer: He quits

As a new dawn breaks in New York City, the newspapers are sent out and Gino's story about the death of the Mai Tai Killer, told from Patrick's point of view, is disseminated through New York. Patrick is pursued by journalists as he heads to the precinct but he finds that his fellow detectives aren't all too impressed with his closing of the case or his comments on their attitude towards the gay community.

When Patrick speaks to Chief Marzara, he hands in his badge and gun. Marzara says that he's not firing Detective Read. In fact, he wants him to help make things right by heading outreach programs and fixing the department. Read won't have it though-- he wants to reopen all the cases swept under the rug in the gay community over the years, and since Marzara won't consider doing that, he's quitting. He leaves without further discussion.

Answer: Seven

Before Read leaves his job entirely, he finds Adam waiting near the precinct's morgue, there on the off-chance that he might be able to identify any of his missing friends' remains. Read is forced to explain Whitely's modus operandi, that he took gay men apart to create the perfect being of his own devising.

When the pair enter the room and see the sentinel on the slab, Adam can't believe the truth behind it. Unfortunately, he's not able to identify any part of the body; he can't tell, considering the state of it. Read tells him that there's likely seven bodies amongst those pieced together. Adam reminds him that much more than seven gay men have died in New York City as of recently.

Answer: Fire Island

Adam visits Hannah at the hospital and she tells him the truth about her findings. Aside from the obvious medical side-- that there's an issue with all of her patients' platelet levels-- a number of her patients have disappeared, and clearly not because of the Mai Tai Killer. Those missing include Sully, who sparked Adam's awareness that something was amiss; he was one of Dr. Wells' first patients. Hannah doesn't have the resources to find more information.

When Hannah and Adam talk to Fran and her friends, she expresses that there's nowhere to go to get more funding to continue her research. She explains that there's no real rhyme or reason to it all; she and Adam have a viral version of the illness while KK, one of Fran's friends, has a bacterial form similar to the deer on Fire Island. Fran continues to believe it's the government. They all agree they should put an article in the paper.

At the offices of 'The Native', Adam tries to convince Gino to publish something, but with the end of the Mai Tai Killer's stranglehold on New York, Gino's not into the idea. In fact, he and Patrick are planning on heading out for the weekend, bound for a stay at a Fire Island house rental. He invites Adam out; it'll be good for him to get away from the insanity for a bit. He can bring Hannah and Fran as well. There's plenty of room.

Answer: Barbara

Patrick walks the streets of New York when he has his vision. Standing across the street from him he sees Barbara dressed in a flowing, white dress, but as a bus passes by she vanishes.

When Patrick gets home, Gino's already there. He realizes that Patrick seems a bit off and it takes very little before he pries the truth out-- that Patrick's mind is starting to unravel. Feeling responsible for Barbara's death, he believes that it might already be too late and that the trauma has set in too deep. As Gino tries to comfort him, Patrick says that they're still not safe enough.

Answer: With her mother

In her apartment, Hannah starts to pack for the weekend before she feels the urge to vomit, barely making it to the sink to do so. As she takes a seat on the couch she picks up the phone and calls Adam, catching his answering machine to give a rain check on the trip to Fire Island-- she's just too pregnant to take the ferry ride.

As Hannah puts down the phone she has an uncanny feeling and she picks up the phone once again to call her mother. She explains her concerns and that she's a bit scared with everything going on, and it's because of that that she asks to stay over for a while despite their recent lack of communication. As she puts down the phone, she doesn't notice the man clad in leather gear standing on her fire escape, watching from the window.

Answer: Pride

Gino, taking a seat as his typewriter, starts writing an article about pride, musing on the recent events and the harsh reality of death lurking in the gay community. The Mai Tai Killer was a cruel man, he notes, but his sentinel was his pride and in a twisted way he thought it was an impulse derived from his attempt to protect his people. When Gino looked into Whiteley's eyes he didn't see rage; he saw suffering. Instead of sinking into despair, anger could lead the community. They would need to lead themselves to release from society's expectations, and that would free them.

Gino finishes his article and it becomes the leading story, along with news of Whitely's sentinel, in the pride issue of 'The Native'.
