Original subtitles

My name is Hannah Gittleman.

How the hell did you do that?

Satellite signals, Wi -Fi, radio waves. Your computer can download them and so

can I.

So you can, uh, access the Internet without a computer.

Just pull email out of your head.

And you're radioactive.

Why come to me?

Because they got to me, too.

I can find them, Ted.

And you can nuke them.

Previously on Heroes.

Turned on the waterworks and they were mine.

They're getting the suitcase as we speak.

Where's the bag?

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

Matt Parkman, here to protect you, sir.

Sir, we gotta get out of here right now.

What? How do you know that? I just do.

Now you absorb all these abilities you find. Now I'm going to teach you how to

pull them out one at a time. I don't have to do anything!

Except fly.

Hello. Zane Taylor?

Yes. It must be Dr. Suresh. Come on in.

There are others out there like you.

And I am going to find them.

I could go with you.

She had an appointment with the neurologist. And your mother's been

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

that?

I don't know any Mr. Muggle.

And I don't know you.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Where's Dad?

He's on one of his stupid business trips.

There's something wrong with Mom.

There's something wrong with you.

Do you know who this is?

Claire, leave your brother alone.

You recognize us?

Yes, you are the daughter who is supposed to be sat in the dinner table.

I was standing right there just a minute ago, and you had no idea who I was.

Lyle, help your sister with the table. Honestly, Claire.

Good thing Dad's not home, because he would so drug test you.

It's good you called us, Isaac.

I didn't know who else to trust.

That man.

Peter Petrelli.

He's gonna be responsible for all this.

I tried finding him. I kept painting what I thought were empty spaces.

And now?

There. In the water.

Footprints.

So... Peter's invisible?

That sounds so crazy.

Any more than a man who can paint the future?

Peter absorbs others' abilities. Apparently he's met someone who we

dead.

That's the roof of the Deveaux building.

Look, there's a chance that Peter might come here first, before we reach him.

What do you expect me to do with this?

Save the world.

I am pregnant. No. I want porcelain. I'm just trying to be Mr. Helpful. Try Mr.

Get the Hell Out of the Way.

What did you do?

Do you like it?

Me too.

Yeah?

But, Matt, we can't afford this. I mean, we're... No, come on. I got a guy.

He gave it to me wholesale, so...

I'm so bloated.

You look so beautiful to me.

I'm sorry.

You've made this beautiful gesture, and I have to mess it up.

What do you mean?

A man called yesterday.

A Professor Suresh.

He was a geneticist.

He wanted to talk about DNA.

About your DNA.

Did you tell him anything?

I mean, you didn't tell him anything, did you? Of course I didn't tell him

anything.

He found you.

He knows.

Geneticist.

Who are these people?

Before we go in, I just wanted to say thank you.

For what?

Well, you know, for bringing me with you. You didn't have to do that.

It would have been a long road alone.

I'm glad for the company.

I believe in fate, Mohinder, and karma. And I'm not just saying that because

you're Indian. I mean, you really came to my rescue.

I won't forget that.

It's not completely altruistic on my part, Zane.

I have a feeling we're going to meet up with a lot of skepticism from these

people. We can help.

I'm ready.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Rap music.

I can't stand it, but it's the only thing I found that cancels out the...

help you?

We're looking for Dale Smith.

You found her?

Oh, of course.

I'm Mohinder Suresh, and this is Mr. Taylor.

It's vain, actually. It's just vain.

I left you several messages this week. Yeah, I got them.

I believe I can help with what's happening to you. I'm sure you have lots

questions. Yeah, only one.

How'd you find me? You gave blood 11 years ago. Signed a consent form to have

sample used in a program called the Human Genome Project.

You dialed the wrong number.

Look, I know what you're thinking right now, that you've got nobody to talk to,

nobody that understands what you're going through.

But that's not true.

I understand.

Yeah?

That was my best wrench.

So there really are others, huh?

Yes.

I'm proof of that.

That's why we're here.

I thought the headaches at first were going to kill me.

I'd lie awake at night thinking that my head was going to explode.

A cockroach crawling across my neighbor's floor was like a marching

parading through my house.

Sorry, it must be quite a burden.

A burden?

Hell no.

This is the best damn thing that ever happened to me. Well, now that I've

learned to control it, I'm like Superman or something.

I can hear rain coming from 40 miles away. I can even hear someone's mood.

The tiniest changes in a heartbeat.

Here's for instance.

It's racing kind of fast.

You nervous about something?

No, I'm just excited to meet somebody like me.

Well, if you've come to try to take it away from me, you're going to have a

of a fight on your hands. I can assure you we only want to help.

I'd like to perform a few tests.

Some questions, really, that's all. Shouldn't take more than a couple of

I'm kind of backed up today. We can come back in the morning.

One, two, three!

You're

not Ando.

That's Augustuson, State Gaming Commission.

I come in peace.

What's in Ando?

Ando is my friend. I bring him from Japan on my mission.

Where's the girl?

Where's the suitcase?

She say her name Hope.

Tell me where they are.

Take me with you. I must save Ando. Not a chance. I work alone, pal.

You take me with you or she gets away, pal.

I'll miss you, Karen.

I'll miss your laugh.

But they're going to pay for what they did to me.

What they did to us.

I know.

They're not going to like what I'm going to do.

So, uh, I came to say goodbye.

I say when it's enough.

You've got the power to stop me. What are you waiting for?

I'm fried.

And when you've left New York a smoking wasteland, we'll put that on your

tombstone. Here lies Peter Petrelli. He's fried.

Dig into that fire cabin of yours and pull something out. Fly.

Stop time.

Paint me a pretty picture. Do it.

way were your mind? Which one of your sorry friends has telekinesis?

None of them do.

That guy who was chasing Claire in Texas.

He went from lockers flying at me. Texas?

And you pulled that little trick out in the hearing now?

Well, we might just have a chance of stopping you from going nuclear.

Every street I painted, every building empty.

I think Peter's left New York.

Why does it seem so familiar?

Oh, now I remember.

You'd get that same look on your face when you'd lie to me about using.

You think I'm lying?

You're right. I can't willingly throw you into another man's arms.

Because you're jealous.

Because he's dangerous. Oh, God.

I don't think I should have this anymore.

Keith, please.

I would do anything for you, Simone.

Anything.

Fine, Peter.

Look, you're nothing but a Japanese map quest for me. So, until we find that

girl, just sit there and shut up.

I bring Ando from Japan on my mission.

I am responsible for him.

All a partner ever does is either drag you under or screw you over. A partner

helps by believing in you. They keep you honest.

Uh -huh. Well, who wanted to help the girl?

Grab the suitcase.

Take your car.

Ando.

You take on a partner.

All you get is their blood on your hands.

Why are we stopping here?

I thought we were going to your mother's house.

The less questions you ask, Ando, the better off you'll be in life.

Why is that?

That'd be another question.

Here, I will help you with this. No, I've got it.

No, I've got it.

What did you do?

What did I say about that question?

Now, I have to admit, Zane, when you first offered to help, I was... I was

caught. In what way?

I don't know you. If you don't know me, it could have been a disaster.

But you... You made a difference today.

Thank you.

Here's your key.

When you told that woman, Dale, you could help her, is that really possible?

Probably theoretical at this point.

But I am working on an inhibitor, a chemical that will isolate the genetic

mutation that causes these abnormalities.

And we can offer these people understanding, control, or even

their ability.

Elimination? You make it sound like a virus or a plague.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply it.

Not all of you exhibit the same sets of skills that you do.

It can be dangerous.

My father had to learn that firsthand.

How about...

He was murdered by a man named Silas.

Well, what happened to this Silas?

Sure.

He just got away with killing your dad?

I only know he's gone. He's locked away.

What does it matter? Even if I could come face to face with him, what

would it make? Justice can never really be served.

What a shame.

They're out there.

I can feel them.

So innocent, so unaware of what's happening to them.

We'll find them, Melinda.

All of them. Together, the two of us.

It's our destiny.

I'm going to call it a night.

I'll catch you in the morning.

Claire, do we need to talk?

No.

Yes.

Mom, you know how you sometimes forget things?

Honey, is this about my trip to the neurologist? It's just some headaches.

I don't want you to worry.

But they don't know what's causing it, right?

We are still waiting on the results from the tests.

What if it's not something that's responsible for it, but someone?

What on earth are you talking about?

What if you knew a secret and they had a way to brainwash you?

You have been studying long enough.

Let's curl up in my bed, peep the plug, laugh the milk.

I'm watching an old Cary Grant movie.

Mom, I'm serious.

I know this is a little scary, but Dad's in charge of talking to the doctors,

and they will come up with the answers.

Well, you shouldn't trust Dad so much.

Now, why would you say that?

What if it gets worse? And next time...

What's this all about anyway?

What's what?

Birds.

And you sort of hate everything, everyone, except you treat these pigeons

they're family.

Charles Darwin bred pigeons when he was working out his theory of evolution.

Married up various permutations to get maximum potential.

What do you mean by that, maximum potential?

I think he meant you, friend.

But you used to care.

About all this?

Didn't you?

All right. Sharing time's over.

Time to get...

Something unexpected.

Larry, this isn't a great time.

Dad, you have to come home.

Mom fell and she blacked out. I called 911.

What happened to her?

I can't remember. She didn't even know who I was.

She didn't even remember Mr. Muggle.

I'm coming home right away.

Well, it'll have to wait.

Where are you?

Hey, what's up?

The ring?

I took it to get resized, and the jeweler told me it was worth $40 ,000.

Well, that's ridiculous.

And he accused me of stealing it.

I had to tell him my husband was a cop, and there has to be some kind of an

explanation. There is an explanation, right?

The guy that I was protecting, Molsky, those were his.

You have to get them back. I can't.

I can't. He's dead.

Oh, I need to sit down. See, honey, this is why I didn't want to tell you about

this, okay? You were going to get upset. He kept the ring.

It was stolen property. What were you thinking?

I don't know what I was thinking. I have no idea.

You know, Matt, for a guy that can...

Read other people's thoughts. You should spend a little bit of time on your own.

You know what?

I'm just trying to figure out how to take care of our family. I don't have a

job, Jan.

And I'm worried that the baby... Ever since you told me about this thing, this

thing that you do, I have tried to act like everything's okay, but it's not.

Eeling and lying?

You're better than this.

All right.

Fine. I'll take him down to the precinct.

Call him right now.

What? Call him right now.

Hello?

What?

Where are you right now?

Yeah. Yeah, I know the place. I'll be right there.

Who's that?

I gotta go out.

How you feeling?

You knew they were after you.

Who? I don't know who they were.

You wanted to know why I was invisible all these years. It was because of them.

And you brought the bastards right to my door.

I just see giraffe.

You've no idea what you've done.

It may be the painter.

He took your girl up to the roof. He must have known we were up there. Isaac.

He's a comic book artist.

Let's call the spade a shovel, mate. It had to be Isaac.

They'd got to him.

You said for yourself he disappeared for a bit, right?

Yeah, so?

Well, that's how it works.

At least that's how it did in my day.

You drop off the face of the earth for a few days, wake up with a memory hole, a

killer headache, and a souvenir.

Did he have a set of these?

I don't know. What is that?

Those are for the lucky ones.

So what do we do now? Hey!

We?

You watch your own back. I do what I always do.

Disappear. I'm not letting you run again. We're getting somewhere with all

You should have thought of that before you brought your baggage to my roof.

I can't do this on my own.

Then I guess you go boom.

Have you heard from Peter?

Last time I saw my brother, he flew out of a window to get away from me.

I doubt he's going to come knocking on my door.

He flew out a window?

So to speak.

Simone, I've got people looking for him, people I can trust.

Around the clock, we'll find him.

But what if you don't?

You need to go public, call a press conference, tell everyone about Peter's

condition.

Nobody's going to believe somebody can explode and destroy a city, Simone.

I can't believe I believe it. Tell them everything.

Isaac painting the future hero, stopping time, even you.

What you all can do is incredible.

It's time people know what's happening.

The truth.

Look, I know your heart.

It's in the right place. You want to help Peter and I want to help him too.

But if people knew what we were capable of, they would drop a collective brick.

You think they'll burn you at the stake?

Yeah.

Pretty much.

Because that's what I would do. I'd round us all up.

Stickers in a lab on some island in the middle of the ocean.

Where Peter saw hope, you see disaster.

Huh.

I guess I'm voting for the other guy.

Simone.

Do not take this public.

Kid me. I thought you liked me.

Don't remind me.

What will happen to me now?

I want my share.

I'm sorry,

Hiro. I should have listened to you.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have put you in my life.

If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known what it was like to be a hero.

Oh, but look!

Bursa has no scratches!

Funny I didn't hear your footsteps.

That's because there weren't any.

That sound.

In your heart.

What is it?

Is my mom going to be okay?

She's stable.

When your dad gets here, we can discuss options.

Options?

Clear. Why don't you come sit down?

Your mother has a subdural hemorrhage. I got a C -minus in biology.

It's like a bruise on her brain.

It's typically the area that controls memory.

Has your mother had any recent exposure to radiation?

A history of epilepsy?

Claire, if this is a result of domestic violence... No.

No, it's not like that.

Not really.

Then what's it like?

You won't believe me.

Anything you say will be held in the strictest confidence.

There's a man who works for my dad.

He can make you forget things.

Anything.

Just by touching you with his hands.

I'll talk to your father.

Wait, I'm telling you the truth.

Hey, I only came here because you said it was a matter of life and death. You

can't go blowing anything else up.

I found out what these are.

They're tracking us.

Like animals.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

The truth.

Hey, what's going on? Ted? She's a friend.

They like us.

She's the one who put me on to the scratch.

It comes from a pneumatic needle.

It injects a radioisotope for tracking viruses in Africa.

That's what we ordered.

A virus.

Blake.

Who's them?

A shipment of needles went to Primatech paper in Odessa, Texas.

The tracking slip went to a man named Bennett.

Sound familiar?

I've already been down this road. Trust me, it's a dead end.

Really? Yeah.

Why would a paper company need pneumatic needles with a radioisotope?

I had my blood tested.

It's in me, that isotope. Ted, you're radioactive by nature.

How much you want to bet it's in you, too?

No, that's insane. No.

I want to put this whole thing behind me. My wife and I have a baby coming. My

family needs me. If you've got a family, that means you've got something to

protect. There is no putting this whole thing behind you. We've got to find out

what they did and make them fix it.

If they can track us like you say they can, he'll know we're coming. Good.

I can get us through any wall they've got.

I need you to get inside his head.

You can't lie to us if you're there.

We'll find out the truth.

Look, I cannot do this without you.

If we can save ourselves, we can help others.

We could be heroes.

Dad. Visit the doctor to let us take her home in the morning.

She'll be okay.

No thanks to you. Shut up, Claire.

Claire, can I talk to you outside?

Please?

You told me you had an interesting theory about your mom's condition.

It's not a theory.

You did this to her. You erased her mind.

Claire, that's ridiculous.

You tried to erase mine.

I don't know where you're getting these ideas.

Stop. Stop it.

Stop lying.

After what you did to mom, isn't that enough?

What you know is dangerous.

If the wrong people find out about what you can do. Like the man who killed

Jackie. Exactly.

Why?

Why did you do this to Mom?

A few days ago, that man broke into our house looking for you.

He found your mother instead.

So I made her forget.

Your mother is a gentle soul, and people like her shouldn't have to know about

people like him.

And maybe people like you.

I never meant for her to get sick.

I only wanted to protect my family.

Claire Bear, I promise. I promise this will never

happen again.

Zane, are you alright?

Yeah, it's just a... It's just a headache.

Okay. Sit tight. I'll be back.

Hello?

Anybody here?

Maybe we should just come back, Linda.

Dale?

What's the matter?

What are

you doing?

Dialing 911.

Do you think that's a good idea? What are you talking about? She was murdered.

Then what were we doing here?

What do you mean? We found her.

How?

Why? I mean, look at us. Where did we come from? How did we get here?

Can we explain any of this without looking completely insane?

The top of her head was removed. It was Sila. I don't... I mean, how?

Sila.

Okay, we have to warn them.

Everyone on the list. He's after them. We'll leave now and we'll call the

and honestly come to the road. Come on.

Zane, are you okay?

Hey, Riro.

I still have a little work to do.

Can you drive for me?

No, you're always the one who drives.

Return the car to the rental car company.

What are you doing?

I had to do it a few weeks ago.

And... I'm going back to Japan.

Why are you doing this?

I'm sure she made a mistake.

No, it's not about you.

This is my own problem.

This mission... I have to do it alone.

It was a mistake to bring you here.

But I can't.

It's fate.

In the manga...

We're saving the world.

Life is not a manga.

A lot of people have died since the beginning.

If something happens to you, I don't know what to do.

All by yourself?

Yes. Just to me.

Lyle.

Clear.

We'll get through this.

Your mom needs us, Lyle, too.

I don't even know if I'll remember any of that tomorrow.

All I want to do is run away, but I can't.

Somebody has to protect this family from you.

Lyle.

Take your mother.

Get out of the house.

Right now.

Dad?

I'm sure you have a lot of questions.

We all do.

Why'd you do it, Isaac?

How'd you get in here?

What'd they give you, money?

Drugs?

What did Judas get these days?

I was trying to stop you.

You're dangerous, you said it yourself.

Without them to help, you'll become that.

I had help.

I was learning to control it.

You scared my only chance of... Holy... What are these marks on? What do they

mean?

They're nothing. They mean nothing.

Don't...

This is why you sent them after me.

Jealousy? To be out of the way. You'd have Simone all to yourself.

You stole her away from me!

But I did it to save New York.

Stop the bomb.

I can do it right now.

With just one bullet, I can be a hero.

You're not a hero, Isaac.

You're a junkie. You couldn't even save yourself.

That's why she left you, Isaac.

It had nothing to do...
