Previously on Heroes.

I think Siler's beginning to emerge again.

I'm part of you, Matt. Whatever you did to me, I held on. Now I'm inside your

head.

I'm in control here, not the power.

Not you, you son of a bitch!

Kepler! The guy's name is Kepler! Lives in Long Beach!

You're supposed to be the man with the plant, remember?

I'm not sure I'm that guy anymore.

Why's that?

Because I've lost my family, Angela.

Maybe changing your name back to Bennett wasn't such a great idea after all, but

they say college is for reinventing yourself.

Have you ever heard of the jump, push, fall test?

All we need is a dummy the approximate size and weight of Annie. So where do we

get our hands on a dead body?

I guess she did kill herself.

I met an empath.

You talk to him?

Didn't really get a chance.

Gretchen!

No, darling, this batch isn't for you.

I think... I think I found someone to fill Joseph's shoes.

I'm going out.

Where are you at?

I draw unwanted attention being myself.

I've worn the suit since I was a boy. The parents forced us to be prim,

us to a life of combed hair and...

Shine shoes.

And then I discovered I could control the very earth under my feet.

And I was liberated.

I could be filthy.

Tiny still feels like a damn noose around the neck.

Come here.

You don't have to leave.

You know, I could...

You can do whatever you want. No.

Thank you.

It's my responsibility.

Ever since Joseph died, I feel like the lights don't shine as bright in here.

I feel like I'm missing a part of myself.

Here's my compass.

I'm afraid of where we're going without it. I need it back. I'm sorry for your

loss, but you know you cannot replace your brother.

No, you don't understand.

We have a need.

And I have a candidate.

I just want to see if he deserves a place at our table.

Do you think that you might go home while you're out there?

No, I left that life.

I don't ever want to go back again.

How do I look?

Like everybody else.

You're Peter Petrelli, the paramedic who saved that cop's life last week? Yeah.

It was awesome, man. Here.

Thanks, what's this? You've been served.

Guess you need to be more careful when you're saving people, hero.

You expecting somebody, Parkman?

Suspect's house is over there.

How damn long does it take a judge to issue a warrant?

We're going to get this guy, okay? We're going to find the stash, both get

commendations. It's going to be a great day. Just relax.

Yeah.

It's not even about that. I... My 30 -day sobriety

chip.

I flipped.

I used.

I'm still being haunted by the ghost of all the crappy things I've done past and

it got the better of me.

ADA.

Yeah.

I wish I was a ghost. It would be so much better than this hell.

Being stuck in your miserable life.

I mean, have you seen yourself eat a burrito? Why don't you just get the hell

out of here?

Well, there's only one way out, which is you need to figure out how to undo what

you did, give me back my body, and I will be happy to leave you stewing in

mediocrity.

You're a killer. I'm a cop.

If I have to keep you trapped inside this prison for the rest of my life, so

it.

You really think you're up to the challenge?

You got no power.

None.

You're annoying as hell, yes, but ultimately, harmless. I can just ignore

until you fade away like a bad memory.

We'll see.

We got the warrant.

Good. I want you on this job, but you are not going into that house until I

that you'll keep it together. I'm fine. Look.

The first day of the rest of my life, right?

So I put away my ghost, put my game face on.

Let's go.

Police! Open up! Open up!

I'll check upstairs.

Parkman.

I'm not interrupting you, am I?

I'm everywhere.

Hey.

Where are you going? He's in the closet. Yeah.

Your drug dealer is in that closet. What kind of cop doesn't check a closet?

And he has a gun.

You're done.

Drop it.

Now!

Okay.

You're welcome.

Gretchen, I told you that... Dad, what are you doing here?

Hey, Dad.

Nice to see you.

Thanks for bringing the housewarming presents.

Hey, Dad.

Nice to see you. Thanks for bringing the housewarming presents.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Your mother told me about your roommate Annie committing suicide.

I should have called you. I know. I didn't call because... No, no, no. I

want to put you on the spot. I just want to make sure you're all right.

I'm dealing with it. I'm fine.

I know that fine. It's not very convincing. You want to try again?

It's not just the whole anything.

It's just an adjustment.

College.

I'm adjusting.

I miss my family.

I miss you.

Mom. Even Lyle.

What do you say we grab some lunch?

Spend a little time.

Talk. If you're not busy.

No.

Sounds like a plan.

Let me just go get pretty.

You look beautiful.

I'll be just a minute.

So this is your plan?

You're just going to avoid me?

I'm not.

Wow, you're even going to avoid admitting you're avoiding me.

No, no, no, I'm not. I was just busy and studying and organic chem is a bitch.

How's art history?

So we're really not going to talk about this?

Look. Whatever it is you thought you saw the other night, you didn't see. I

didn't see you hurl yourself out a window and then snap your bones back

place? No!

No!

I mean, yes, I was on the ground. I was testing your theory, you know, jump,

push, fall. And I think Annie did commit suicide, which is awful and tragic.

You don't have to lie to me. Look, you're wrong about Annie just like

wrong about me.

Seriously, what are you? A vampire? An alien? Some kind of freakish government

experiment?

All right, I just have to change.

Hi, Mr. Bennett.

Who's your friend?

Oh, that's, uh, Gretchen.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, um, would you like to join us for lunch?

Oh, that's nice.

You don't have to do that.

It would be my pleasure.

I'm pretty sure that Gretchen has an art history assignment due tomorrow. Isn't

that right, Gretchen?

Yeah, but I finished my paper already.

And I'm starving.

Great. Great.

Great?

The easy way or the hard way. So why don't you just tell us where you hid the

drugs? Why don't you ask my lawyer?

Well, did he just... I can't believe people actually say that. You can call

lawyer after we're done searching the house. No, you can't do that, man.

We have a warrant.

You attempted to murder an officer, Lee. So we are going to stay here as long as

it takes. Or you could just grow a pair and end this idiotic sobriety.

I'm going to ask you one more time. Stop asking.

Use your abilities.

I'm going to go check in the bathroom.

Not as easy to ignore me as you thought.

It's because I ooze charm.

Looking in the wrong place.

Stop helping.

Hey, if I'm going to be stuck in here, I might as well make the most of it. I

always thought I'd be an excellent cop.

Fine. Ignore me.

Something doesn't fit in this picture.

Rabbit? Stuffed rabbit.

This house isn't used for drugs.

It's used for something worse.

A lot worse.

Hi, I need a file.

Hooper, William, H -O -O -P -E -R.

Look, it'll just take a second. It's my accident report. If you could just type

it in.

Seriously? I get it. You're doing your job.

I'm doing my job.

Save you guys' life.

And he's using me for it.

Guess I'm going to get Dico's unpunished, right?

I'm talking to myself.

listening to your headphones it's cool

I like that band too

you

okay

Using physical therapy right now. Thank you.

Excuse me. William Hooper?

Yes.

That's me.

I think there's been a mistake.

I've never met you before.

There's no mistake, Mr. Petrelli. You pulled me from the 424 bus after it

crashed at Lexington and 53rd.

I remember you were fast. So fast.

So negligent. You dislocated my arm. Well, I remember everybody that was on

bus. You weren't on it.

Is this a scam?

You recognize my family name? You want money? I'm not scamming you. Don't need

your cash.

Then what?

Empathy.

I'm in town because of my brother Joseph.

He died and there's a lot of loose ends to take care of when someone passes.

I'm all alone now.

I have to take care of our entire family. It's my responsibility.

It's my burden.

But I can't do that on account of you.

Doctor says I won't work for months. If I don't work, I don't feed my family.

Are you the kind of man that's going to allow my family to starve?

If this was a mistake, I'm going to let the lawyers handle it. Good day.

Working two, three shifts at a time.

My lawyer already checked on you.

I know what it's like to feel the pressure of obligation.

But isn't it possible I was on that bus and you've become so spread thin that

you forgot?

No.

It's not.

You're not going blind, Emma. There's nothing wrong with your eyes.

When you saw the lights, did other people see them?

Did you ever hear of synesthesia?

Yeah, yeah, people say that they can smell words or hear numbers.

It's possible. It's very common in deaf cases.

Maybe your body's trying to tell you something.

Emma, Emma, this is serious.

You know, you're completely disengaged.

You file records when you could be treating patients.

Is that why you wear the headphones?

Hey! I don't want to see their faces.

We've got sog paneer, bacon barta, aloo gobi, tikka masala.

Seriously? It just looks like green, brown, yellow, and orange. Don't make

stink face. You're going to love it.

But you forgot the raita.

I don't want to offend your dad, but what if I don't like yellow?

Just do the napkin trick.

Excuse me. We also had an order of raita for the table.

Clever. You're very good at hiding things.

So, Gretchen, what's your major?

Physiology and biomechanics.

I thought it was art history.

I'm going to change.

I'm obsessed with the abilities of the human body.

The other day I saw this girl.

On YouTube, she was born with this gene that doesn't let her feel any pain, like

nothing. And her parents were afraid that she could cut her hand or burn

and not even know, so she's totally cloistered.

Pretty cool, huh?

Unusual, to say the least.

So, what do you think, Claire?

Want to offer some of these glasses with me?

What do you think, Claire?

Why would I be interested in that?

Because it's awesome, and we could do it together, and you're still undeclared.

Well, I can be undeclared until third year.

Yeah, but...

That's just like denying the inevitable.

How long can you do that for?

You know, this yellow is really good.

Tell me yellow.

So, Mr. Bennett, what do you do?

Retired.

But I'm always finding new reasons to go back to work.

Who do you think this is?

I mean, it's not his daughter. Would you let your kid play here?

Yeah, me neither.

Hey, I think these keys go to the garage. You want to go check it out?

Okay, cool.

I'll keep an eye on him.

Okay, tell me what the hell you think you know.

Come on, who's stuffed animal is that? Is there a kid here? Tell me.

Hey.

Great, but you're ignoring me now?

Doesn't feel very good, does it?

Somebody has something you want and they just won't give it to you.

I never intended for this to happen.

Unless you did, Mr.

Parkman. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Your life's a mess, Matt.

I'm stuck inside your mind with your powers and all your anxieties.

It's sad and you're so desperate for anyone to love you.

Janice or your kid.

And they never will love you.

And you want to know why? Shut up! I didn't say anything, man. Because you

in at a zero on the confidence scale. You're always second guessing yourself.

Listen, I'm innocent.

Sweating every decision you make, literally.

I swear.

You know what I think?

I think you wanted me in here to help you.

You wanted me to pick your sorry ass up out of the mud and help make you a man.

Very good, detective.

You found it all on your own.

I'm almost impressed.

Now what are you going to do, Matt?

All right, Mr. Bennett.

That was outstanding.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

That mango lassie just goes right through. Excuse me.

I know things are difficult, but I can't believe you told her about your

ability. I didn't tell her. She just found out.

I got to contact the Haitian.

Erase Gretchen's memory. Clean this meth up. Hey, Gretchen is not the enemy.

She's just a girl, and she's the only friend that I've made.

I appreciate your concern, but I don't need you fighting my battles for me. I

can handle this. Really?

What's your plan, Claire?

Stop.

You make that phone call, and I swear I will banish you. I will not call.

I will not email.

This is my mess, and I'm going to clean it up.

Phil, what's for dessert?

Where is she? What are you talking about?

This is what I'm talking about. The girl you wrote the ransom note for. Where is

she? There's no girl.

Little girl's life at stake, Parkman.

You're going to have a lot of time.

Use your power.

Use your power.

I'm there.

She's under the stairs.

What do you do? What do you do?

What do you do? What are you doing?

Bartman!

Bartman, what the hell are you doing? A girl.

He killed a girl. Her body's under the stairs.

What girl?

The girl!

The girl's body might strike.

What?

I used your own power against you.

You're being sued?

No, this is a scam. This guy wasn't even in that bus crash.

Well, according to my log, he was.

Look, the hospital is not going to take the fall on this. They're going to blame

you. For what? I've been nothing but committed.

Yeah, I know. You're everywhere.

I was the first on scene.

What's that supposed to mean?

There's a couple people floating the theory that you caused the accidents

yourself.

Glory hounding.

So what?

You believe them? They ask if you've been reckless. They ask if you've been

behaving suspiciously. You have.

Shockingly. You know me.

We're partners.

Partners? Man, you run off the second we get on the scene.

I'm your chauffeur.

He was on the bus.

Look, Claire, I'm sorry if I push too hard.

I push.

I'm pushy. What do you think?

You don't want to talk. I get that.

Wanted to keep a secret that got out.

When I was in junior high,

The girls called me Wretchen Gretchen.

That's a terrible nickname.

Yeah, they said that I smelled like puke because I was bulimic.

Wow, I can't believe they would make that up.

Yeah, made it up.

I'll see you around.

Gretchen.

I really, really want to trust you. But my life has been a complex series of

disasters, and it's been a really, really long time since I felt safe

tell anyone the truth.

But I'm tired of keeping the secrets to myself.

So ask me anything.

I'll tell you the truth.

Charlie, didn't expect to see you again.

Looks like you've been running all over the city.

I need to apologize to you.

You were on that bus.

I made a mistake.

And I am sorry.

Thank you.

I'm going to make it right.

No need to concern yourself.

There must be something I can do.

Have you ever lost a brother?

No.

No, I haven't.

I used to work hospitals.

I used to help families through the worst pain imaginable.

Joseph and I grew up nearby.

I thought I'd go back home to remember the good times.

Can't bring yourself to go?

Too many bad memories mixed in with the good.

My trip here started as one thing.

It turned into something else.

I can't seem to find any solace anywhere.

Grieving is messy.

I saw it all the time.

People can offer their condolences. They can tell you they're sorry for your

loss, but they don't know what it is that you're feeling.

What would you say to people?

Just sit with them.

Be with them.

But let them know that they're not alone.

So what made you become a paramedic?

I wanted to save lives instead of watching them pass.

You're exactly who I hoped you'd be.

I'm dropping the lawsuit.

Thank you, Peter.

for everything.

You know, it's not for nothing, but if you trip all the way out here, I really

think that you should visit your home.

That'd go well.

Sorry to bother you at this hour, but I grew up here.

My father used to be the butler, my mother was the maid.

My brother recently passed away, and I thought

I could take a look around, but not here, but in the carriage house. We're

actually in the middle of a dinner party. Please.

This really is not a good time.

Sorry for your loss.

So wait, you're telling me that you've never been drunk?

Because that's like 85 % of the college experience.

I know.

It just doesn't work on me. I heal too quickly. But the good thing is, you will

always have a designated driver.

Can I see it?

See what?

The healing?

If that's not crossing the line.

The hand's always the favorite.

Go for it.

I've never done this before.

Well, I would hope not.

It's okay.

Oh, my God, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

I'm just kidding.

I'm sorry. That was mean.

I'm fine.

I have to take this.

I'll be right back.

Dad, I've got everything under control, okay? And I told Gretchen everything

about everything, and I know that you're going to be mad, but this was my

choice. It's not just us anymore, and I'm going to have other people in my

friends, boyfriends, and I can't close myself off with lies.

Did you rehearse that speech?

Yes.

I wanted to get it right.

No, it was good.

Listen, I think I owe you an apology. I was a bit harsh earlier at the

restaurant. A bit?

Okay, two bits.

It's just, when I look at you, I can't help seeing my Claire bear, and

when you get in any kind of trouble, I feel this instinct to protect you.

But you can't do that now.

Look, I will always be here for you. Always.

But you're right. You can handle your own problems now.

And I'll try to worry about myself from now on.

Thanks.

Good night, Dad.

Good night, Claire.

Good night.

Can I borrow this?

No.

Right. Sorry.

No, I mean, yeah.

Yeah, but... Well, you won't have to borrow it because it'll be here.

Do you want to be my roommate?

Let me think.

Rooming with the boring girl who smells like pickles?

Or... The supergirl who's got excellent taste in literature.

Well, all right, then.

Roommate.

I just... I don't see any other way out of this.

You crossed the line, man.

What's going to happen to me, Mike?

You need to find yourself a damn good lawyer.

This is going to ruin my life.

I am sorry.

Yeah.

Me too.

What are you doing?

I guess I'm just not strong enough anymore.

Nothing happened here.

He attacked you, I stopped him. That's all.

Go call it in.

I'll call him in, man.

I'm proud of you.

Finally becoming more like me.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

They can all be like this.

Or you and I can go find my body.

Wait up.

Sorry to make you boys come out. We need people to die here.

Would have been a lot worse.

So what happened?

Stinkhole.

Stinkhole?
