Previously on Heroes.

Nothing in my life has been real. My dad obviously doesn't work in a paper

factory.

He's gone now.

You're okay.

This is my friend. He's going to make everything okay.

Mom? Claire?

I was hoping you could tell me about my father.

Now that's complicated.

He's kind of a big shot.

Hello?

We haven't spoken in a long time, but I just had... Our daughter just found me.

Did you hear what I just said?

She's alive.

There is.

We need to talk.

It's been 14 years.

I went to your funeral.

Look, that fire, it wasn't an accident. Someone was out to get me, and the

police, they just assumed I was dead, so I ran.

Your daughter?

Well, she's got an angel on her shoulder, that one.

She was adopted by a nice family here in Texas.

She's 16 now.

She's beautiful.

She's got blonde hair like me, and...

Maybe one day she'll run for Congress.

The timing of your call two weeks before my election, that's not a coincidence,

is it?

That child born out of wedlock, that's big news. You wouldn't want that to come

out.

Ruin things for you.

How much do you want?

Nice and easy.

Mom, are you okay?

I've been better.

She'll be fine.

Just needs a little rest. A little time to recover.

Recover from what?

She had an appointment with a neurologist. She ran some tests.

What kind of tests?

Your mother's been having some headaches.

Yeah, she's also been having some memory loss. Did you tell them that?

Of course, Claire.

I'm handling it.

Don't worry, honey. I'll be fine.

Mr. Muggles isn't worried, is he?

No, he's not.

D .O. won't be fooled.

The story will.

Love is blind, and if Lassen is any indication, he won't be able to see

for a long time.

Nick, baby, I gotta get going.

I'll be right there.

You look like a secret servant.

Is this a standard issue for bodyguards?

Bodyguards? We're not called bodyguards anymore, honey. It's private security.

Whatever you want to call it, it's paying the bills.

I'm never going to talk about it.

Talk about what?

What we can do.

Our powers.

I just feel like we're supposed to be fighting crime or something.

That's true.

But for now, can you just have fun at school, my young genius?

Yeah.

All right, baby, there's a package for you up on the table.

Thanks.

Are you taking your gun?

The difference between $500 and $350 a day. My carry permit.

You're not going to need it though, right?

I'm basically a glorified babysitter.

Nothing's going to happen.

I hope not.

Thank God you called.

Playing house and making me cranky.

I understand.

The guy still has money. He wants him dead.

Mr. Linderman wants. Mr. Linderman gets.

I'm Malski.

Matt Parkman, here to protect you, sir.

If you want to do this, you can do whatever you want.

Hiro, let's go back to Las Vegas.

This time, we have to go to Lindman Hotel.

It's been two weeks since the explosion in New York.

Think about it. It's not a fight to win.

Ando, I will never give up.

You must not give up.

The most important thing is that Hiro has hope.

I understand.

Excuse me.

Are you okay, miss?

Anything we can do to help?

No, I couldn't possibly. I mean, we're complete strangers.

I'm Ando.

This is my friend, Hiro.

Hi.

I'm Hope.

So, where are we headed?

Diamond District, Broadway and 6.

What a beautiful day to be in Los Angeles.

Look at this weather and the air. What's your name again?

Uh, Parkman. Matt Parkman. Listen, Parkman, the job is simple.

You drive me downtown, we meet a man, I make a deal, then you drive me back to

the airport.

You just make sure no one bothers me.

That includes you.

I hope this loser knows how to use his gun.

Otherwise, we're both dead.

My name's Dr. Mohinder Suresh. It's very important that I speak with him.

I assure you, my interest is legitimate. My name is Dr. Mohinder Suresh.

It's really rather complicated to explain. This is Dr. Mohinder Suresh.

a certain genetic trait.

Hello? Have you noticed anything unusual about him? My name is Dr. Mohinder

Suresh. He's still there.

I got your phone message and something's happening to me. I

can't control it.

I think we need to talk. Please hurry. Can you come see me right away?

Really?

Five minutes, please.

Five minutes.

We've dated for a few months.

He lives in L .A. and comes to visit.

At first he was really sweet, but now he's...

It's just horrible.

It even hit me once.

Your boyfriend did this to you?

I'm sorry.

I left this morning while he was sleeping, but I forgot my bag. It's

it has rhinestones on it, and it's got all my money and my credit cards, and it

even has my family photos in it.

I can't replace.

I should go up there and talk to him.

Maybe he won't be so mad.

No.

We won't do it.

Excuse us, please.

Hang on. Did you two say something about Mr. Linderman?

Yes. You know him?

Well, not personally, but everybody knows who he is. I know people who do.

That's great.

If we get your bag.

Can you introduce us?

Yeah, I can do that.

We still have a problem.

How do we get past security?

I have an idea.

Who's there?

Room service.

I didn't order room service.

Complimentary. For Hyrona.

Ah, very nice room.

How are you today?

You can do that.

This time, you're going to kill me.

I don't have the ability to do that.

Even if you don't have the ability, you can become a hero.

Call the police.

I'm scared.

It's okay.

I understand.

Please hurry.

Oh, God.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Please hurry.

Dr. Suresh?

I didn't think you were going to show. I didn't know what I was going to do.

I mean, look at what I'm living with.

Yes, I see what you mean. I'm just a regular guy.

I mean, I've never been different or special.

I mean, no one would even look at me twice walking down the street.

I guess I should show you, right?

What did I do? You need to see it, right?

Yes, of course.

I've left the apartment for three weeks.

I'm going a little crazy.

Maybe you should step back.

You can get a little messy.

We reap what we sow, Nathan.

You have no one to blame but yourself.

I'll go down to Texas and handle it. So close to the election?

That'd be ridiculous.

The press gets wind of this, especially on the heels of the Linderman scandal.

I cared about Meredith once.

I owe her more than a phone call. I owe them both.

Besides, I'm this girl's father, Ma.

You're a glorified sperm donor. Don't get emotionally attached.

How can you be so cold?

Because I know you, Nathan.

Beneath the gruff exterior, you're a sap.

And the moment that young girl looks at you with her sad little weepy eyes,

you're lost, you're finished.

You'll start giving, she'll start taking until there's nothing left.

So prioritize, Nathan.

Wire the money to Texas.

Focus on the people who really matter.

How's Mom?

Your mother's resting.

That's why I understand you and Zach cut school yesterday.

Mom said we could go through our report.

You went to the aquarium?

With these tickets?

Printed from your computer, these fake tickets, Claire?

You're spying on me?

I don't know where you were, and I don't want to know.

You're a teenager. You need to assert your independence with this behavior.

It's unacceptable.

You're grounded, young lady.

You're to be home every day at five o 'clock sharp until further notice.

What? You can't do that. You have no right.

I'm your father.

You're not my real father.

No, I'm not.

But I'm as close as you've got. So you'll stay home at night.

Until you earn our trust back.

Hi. It's me, Claire.

Do you have a second to talk about my father?

Oh, hey, Claire. I'm glad you called.

Talk about coincidence. I found your father.

You're kidding. What did he say? Well, after he got over the shock that we were

both alive, he was actually kind of sweet.

Said he'd be happy to help us out. Sounded real generous, too.

Said he's going to fly right down from New York.

I want to meet him.

Oh. Right. Well, I don't know about that.

But he's my father.

Right. Well, why don't I talk to him, and we'll see what he says.

You know what, Claire? I actually have to go, but I'll call you later, all

right?

I love you.

I've got the money.

Let's see the diamonds.

Stones range from two to nine carat.

My offer is more than generous.

Not that it matters.

Lend him his guy, guy.

Lend him his guy. He'll be here soon.

He won't get out alive.

Sir,

sir, please.

Please, we have got to get out of here right now.

What?

How do you know that? I just do. You have to trust me.

Got a deal.

I gotta run.

Who's Linderman? My ex -employer. How do you know his name? Never mind that.

Why has he sent someone here to kill you?

Because I stole his two million.

I'm shifting out of the country right now. Oh, great.

You stole the money.

How do you know?

Please.

You've got to get me out of here.

Take this.

There's another one for you when you get me out. You can't bribe me. I don't

want to die.

You and the bodyguard. You and the bodyguard.

You and the bodyguard. You and the bodyguard. You and the bodyguard.

This should be fun.

I do all the work. He takes half the profit. I'm sick of it.

No, I got these two Chinese guys to help me out.

Turned on the waterworks and they were mine.

Yep.

They're getting the suitcase as we speak.

All right.

I'll catch the bus from Prim and meet you in Barstow.

I love you too, Leon.

Oh, hi.

I didn't see you come in.

You were on telephone.

Uh, with my mom.

So, um, where's the bag?

We are not Chinese.

We are Japanese.

Whatever.

Where's the bag?

You are a bad person.

You may fool Ando, but you do not fool me.

Thanks for the help, Sulu.

What are you doing?

We can't stop you.

Come on.

Come on.

Go to the elevator.

You can't do this.

You have to stop!

Don't worry, Nikki.

I don't plan on being a little muscle maker forever.

Just gotta lay low for a while.

You're chasing two men with a gun in broad daylight.

You call that laying low?

This is my life.

My child.

You can't do this! I have to.

Somebody's got to repay Linderman.

You made the deal to get me out of jail.

I couldn't leave it up to you, now could I?

The elevator's not cutting. Come on. Who are you calling? Back up.

You can't bring the cops into this.

Terry, hey, it's Parkman. I'm working security.

Diamond District, 6th and Broadway. I got a shooter, possibly two. Spend every

one you got.

All right, you go to the other side of the building.

The cops will be here soon. I'll buy you some time.

Drop your weapon.

Over the side, right now.

Okay.

Where's your partner?

Partner? Come on, your partner. I heard you arguing with her. Nikki, right?

Where is she?

You heard Nikki.

Is she?

She's probably killing Malski.

Hey,

there you are. Come on, let's go.

Me again.

What?

What are you doing here?

I have to see my father.

You don't understand.

I'll wait here all night if I have to.

Why don't we take a walk?

It's my mom.

She's sick and I think it's bad.

I'm so sorry. How can I help?

You said my father had money.

He said he had power and that he wanted to help us. I thought maybe... Oh,

honey, honey.

I didn't mean that kind of help. I meant just money.

I don't understand.

Your daddy, he's, um... How do I explain this?

When your daddy found out that I was pregnant with you...

What I'm trying to say is that you can't count on him.

He'll give us cash because that's easy, but anything else, he'll just disappoint

you.

He doesn't even want to meet me?

Oh, Claire.

Please.

Why'd you even tell me about him?

Because he wants to give us the money.

$50 ,000, and you're entitled to half of that.

I don't want his money.

I'm heading back to Mexico for a while, so we're probably not going to see each

other.

I want you to take real good care of yourself, okay?

So I can remember that sweet face.

Police! Get your hands up!

I'm on the job.

I'm on the job.

Hello? St. Taylor?

Yes.

It must be Dr. Suresh. Come on in.

Did I get you some tea?

Sorry it took me so long to get here. No, it's no problem.

Is Earl Grey okay?

Yes, that'll be fine.

You, um, sounded rather alarmed on the phone.

You seem to have calmed down some.

I had a kind of epiphany about it this morning.

Are you familiar with Abraham Maslow, The Peak Experience?

I'm afraid not.

It's, um...

A single moment that takes you out of yourself, makes you feel very tiny or

large, to some extent one with life or nature or God.

I see.

It's like seeing all the pieces of a puzzle fit together.

All this time I was trying to fight it, deny it.

But there is no shame in having this ability, is there?

None whatsoever.

It would be like denying you have brown eyes.

Right.

So, um, I guess that you want to see my ability.

Yes. I mean, I'm quite anxious to document this.

Um, you may want to step back. That looks like a nice jacket.

You want to see it again?

Look for what it's worth. I'm sorry for the way things turned out. You know, I

could have been a much better person back then.

You politicians, you sure know your way around an apology.

You and me, we were never going to work out.

In two different worlds.

I hope this goes a long way toward making out for the fact that I wasn't

For both of you.

So... Where is she?

Clint?

You just missed her?

Does she want to see me?

Yeah.

I've snapped a photo of her.

Look how beautiful she is.

I'm sure she is.

Take a look, Nathan.

She came here with her bags all packed.

She thought you were going to rescue her from her tragic life.

Does that sound familiar?

I told her...

Here to pay your money and go

Did

I speak at a turn I could call her I can get

her to come back

I should probably be heading back to my family.

Just a kid.

I'm very interested in how you control this

ability.

Well, it's like...

Riding a bike for the first time, it's a little wobbly, and then I discovered

something.

A kind of peace.

A sense of purpose that can only be described as destiny.

I'd, um, like to take a DNA sample.

For me? Okay, um, sure.

Just swallow it on the inside of your mouth.

The key.

If you'll excuse me for a second. Of course.

I just swab it on the inside of my cheek?

Yes, that's right.

There you go.

Dearly simple.

Thank you.

You know, you should be careful who you talk to about this ability thing.

There are some people who might not understand.

I want to hurt you.

Why would anybody want to hurt me?

I don't know yet, but I do know this.

There are others out there like you.

Really?

How many others?

Dozens. And those are just the ones I know about. With more time and research,

could find hundreds, thousands.

But you're the first one who's returned my phone calls.

But I am going to find them.

All of them.

I could go with you.

I could help you. Think about it. These people could need convincing.

Who better to do that?

Hopefully. You got it.

My hero.

I was trapped under a bed. Your boyfriend is very large.

You mean ex -boyfriend.

Come on.

I need a ride to Prim, my mom's house.

I'm sure she would love to meet you.

Where is the hero?

Oh, I took him to meet the guy who introduced him to Mr. Linderman.

He didn't wait for me?

Well, he said he didn't really need you anymore.

But I didn't even give you your bag yet. Why didn't you wait for me?

Three's the crown, baby.

You gotta go.

One, two, three!

Mando -kun?

You want a handle?

That's our Gustafson.

State gaming committee.

I come in peace.

I only saw the blonde.

Yes, but I heard them talking. I know there were two of them.

I'm telling you, she was incredibly strong. She broke my handcuffs.

Any idea where the diamonds are?

You didn't find the case?

No.

I guess the incredibly strong killer and her partner must have taken him.

Fourth one over, third one back.

What a joke.

Parkman, what a joke.

Can't even do a decent job as a cop.

He'll never wear a police badge again in his life.

Parkman.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm good.

Mom, I'm home.

To survive in this world.

We hold close to us those people on whom we depend.

We trust in them our hopes, our fears.

Go away, you!

Mom, what's going on?

This mangy thing came at me out of nowhere. I think it had rabies. Go away,

Mom, this is your dog, Mr. Muggles. You love him.

I don't have a dog.

I don't know any Mr. Muggles.

And I don't know you.

But what happens when trust is lost?

Where do we run when the things we believe in vanish before our eyes?

Micah, did I get another package?

Yeah, it's in your bedroom.

Thanks. Opening it now.

When all seems lost, the future unknowable, our very existence in peril.

Yeah, I remember him.

Not a problem.

Consider it done.

All we can do is run.
