Heroes (2006–2010): Season 1, Episode 21 - Chapter Twenty-One 'The Hard Part' - full transcript
Hiro and Ando return from the future, and start looking for Mr. Isaac. Bennet, Parkman and Sprague are on their way to New York. Peter tries to convince Claire not to go to Paris, but this gets much harder when she sees Thompson with Nathan.
NARRATOR:
Previously on Heroes.
This tragedy will
be a catalyst for good.
And it's your destiny,
Nathan,
to be the Ieader who uses
this event to rally a city,
a nation, a world.
I have a chance to
be a part of something big.
The election.
You need me to Ieave.
I need to win.
You've been
going about this
all wrong, Professor.
Trying to
take on the science and
the killer all on your own?
The best way to stop Sylar
is for us to work together.
Hey! Hey!
No one's gonna hurt you.
AII right.
AUDREY: We need
you to talk to her.
MATT: Talk to who?
Molly Walker,
the Iittle girl you found.
What makes you think
she's gonna talk to me?
Well, if you're
really a mind reader,
she won't need to.
I need to borrow your Micah.
Micah's off Iimits.
How would you Iike
to save the world today?
This is usually the part
when people start screaming.
They stop you and you die.
(SCREAMING)
Parkman?
We gotta go.
How did you
even get in here?
Bennet, he's got a plan.
(ALARM BLARING)
That went
better than I expected.
As Iong as that
tracking system
is in place,
you'II never be safe.
The system is well protected,
but we can get to it,
destroy it.
We can end it all.
Where is this
tracking system?
New York City.
We're on the next bus.
HIRO:
Is that a new 9th Wonder?
You're trying
to change the past.
Trying to stop Sylar,
is that it?
I'II take you
where it's safe.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
Don't worry, New York!
We will save you!
Come on, boys.
Honey, we're home!
How's my girl?
BOTH: Daddy!
Hey, boys, come here.
HEIDI: Anything
interesting happen
while we were gone?
Nope, everything was
unbelievably ordinary.
Wait till you see
what I got you, guys.
What do you think it is?
Paris is cold
this time of year,
so here's a nice warm coat.
Brown wool.
It's not flashy,
but it's fashionable.
Now Iet's talk about gloves.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
I'II Iet you two
say goodbye.
You can't Ieave.
I have to.
At Ieast
until the election's over.
I found you in Odessa.
We save each other,
you end up being my niece.
This isn't just random,
okay?
This is destiny!
My father sacrificed himself
so that I could have a Iife,
not a destiny.
You can't save me, Peter.
Not this time.
And Nathan can?
Nathan can keep me safe.
Safe?
You can't get hurt!
You're here to
save the world.
How?
I'm sorry,
I can't go around
chasing some fantasy.
It's not some fantasy, okay?
I explode.
I see it.
I wipe out
this whole city.
You, Nathan, everyone.
You explode?
Yeah.
Like a nuclear bomb.
Nuclear?
Like Ted.
Ted?
Who the hell is Ted?
(CAR ENGINE SPUTTERING)
I told you
no phone calls.
It's my wife.
If we're going on
a suicide mission,
I'd Iike to tell her
I Iove her, say goodbye.
You think I don't
want to talk to my wife?
That I don't miss
my son and my daughter?
We're doing this to
protect the people
we Iove.
The company has
a new tracking system.
Now, this Walker
System doesn't rely
on isotopes and satellites.
It just finds you
wherever you are.
So we've gotta
play this smart.
Switch cars,
stay to the back roads.
Fine, we go to New York,
we wipe out the Walker System.
Exactly.
Ted?
Yeah, almost done.
Let's go.
SYLAR: That man...
the glowing hands.
He's the exploding man.
I'm going to take his power.
I'm going to explode.
Is this my future?
Is this what you saw, Isaac?
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello.
SYLAR: Mohinder,
I need your help.
Sylar?
I think
I'm gonna do something bad.
You're a murderer.
You don't get
the luxury of regret.
You don't understand.
I think I'm gonna kill
a Iot more people,
a lot more.
I understood it
before the killing.
I had a reason
to take what
others didn't deserve.
It was natural selection.
What are you talking about?
An apocalypse.
A massacre.
Half the city
gone in an instant.
They mean nothing.
They're innocent.
There's no gain,
so why would I do it?
What possible
reason could I have
for killing so many?
Wait, Iisten.
You don't have to.
If you're
truly repentant
about what you've done,
turn yourself in.
I can
hear you dialing 91 1.
It was a mistake to call.
No, wait! Sylar? Sylar!
D.L.: Where's Micah?
A car
from the Corinthian
Casino picked him up.
That's Linderman's casino.
What aren't you
telling me?
Linderman said that
he needed Micah for a job.
A job?
He's 10 years old,
and you Iet him go?
Of course not!
I told him no.
What have you done?
Me?
It was Linderman.
No, this is your fault!
Your responsibility!
I'm done with you.
I'II get Micah my damn self.
Don't Iet him go.
You're the one
that can save Micah.
He's gonna get killed
if he goes alone.
PIease.
Wait!
(MAN CHATTERING)
(CROWD CHEERING)
No, everything's
under control, Mr. Linderman.
He's a good kid.
Not that I mind
the babysitting,
but don't you think
this is a waste of my talent?
Thanks.
No, I appreciate that, I do.
I will.
Who was on the phone?
It was Mr. Linderman.
He wanted to make sure
that you were ready
for tomorrow.
Isn't that nice?
Mom,
I don't Iike Mr. Linderman.
Well, why not?
I don't know.
He smells funny.
Mom, I don't Iike it here.
I don't
want to do this.
Micah...
I want to go home.
Mr. Linderman helped us,
and now we have to help him.
That's the Iast that
I want to talk about it, okay?
But, Mom, I just don't...
Micah, that's enough.
You know that I would
never Iet anything bad
happen to you, right?
Give me a smile.
It's good to see
you again, Professor.
So, have you
thought about my offer?
Are you ready to
come to work for us?
As far as I can tell,
you're all a bunch of
untrustworthy gundas.
Is that a no?
No, I'm not going
to work for you.
You're going to work for me.
You're going to show
me everything you do,
everything you know,
and I'm going to use it
to help me stop Sylar.
And why would I do that?
You raided my father's
office in Chennai,
planted Eden as
my next door neighbor.
You want what I have,
the formula.
I can find more of them.
You're the one who needs me.
Some people died because
you Ied Sylar right to them.
And now you blame yourself,
so you become a vigilante.
That's cute.
Is that a no?
What choice do I have?
Come on in.
What is this place?
There's someone
you need to meet.
Molly Walker.
Does the name
ring any bells?
Yeah, she was on
my father's Iist.
That's right.
Your father Ied
Sylar right to her.
He slaughtered her parents,
then attacked her.
How did she survive?
Well, Iuckily, we got to her.
That's what we do.
We find people
with abilities,
help them,
protect them.
And she's sick,
isn't she?
How can you tell?
Her nucleotides
are decomposing.
You need to
get her to a doctor.
A doctor can't help her.
I'm thinking maybe you can.
I'm a geneticist.
I wouldn't know
the first thing about this.
Molly's virus is very rare.
It's destroying
her nervous system.
It prevents her from
accessing her ability.
There's been one other case,
an Indian girl, 1974.
My sister.
Shanti died.
Yes, we know.
Sadly,
your father developed
a cure months too Iate.
Unfortunately for Molly,
our people can't figure
out what that cure is.
Cute, huh?
You're trying
to manipulate me?
Showing me this poor girl,
preying on Shanti's memory.
Sylar is out there,
and he's planning
a slaughter.
Everyone is in danger,
and this...
None of this
is going to help.
You just don't get it.
Molly is the only one
who can stop Sylar.
SYLAR: It's me.
I know it's been a while,
but I've been thinking
about things.
Thinking about the future,
my future.
I know it's Iast-minute,
but if I could just
come talk to you.
Can I come over?
Great.
I'II see you soon.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(HEART BEATING)
I can hear you.
Whoever you are,
come on out.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
You do that again,
I will kill you.
You're Iucky I didn't
Ieave your ass
stuck in the wall
after what you've done.
What the hell is this place?
It's where Linderman
restores his art.
He usually
hangs out in here.
What's that?
Is that supposed to be...
JESSICA: Micah?
Where is he?
I don't know,
New York, maybe.
Our fourth grade report card.
Niki's immunization records.
School photos
and medical files.
JESSICA:
He's tracked
our entire Iife.
This finally makes sense.
No, this is crazy.
Nobody does
what you and I can do.
What Micah can do,
nobody.
My Iife.
Me and Niki,
everything we had, it was...
It wasn't real.
It was
all Linderman's
science experiment.
AII this time
Linderman's just been
playing with our Iives.
What are you doing?
Linderman
obviously isn't here.
We're wasting our time.
If Linderman knows
this much about us,
he must know
something about Micah.
Where he went,
what he's doing.
Linderman went to New York.
There is some note about
Petrelli on election day.
We find Linderman,
we find Micah.
Let's get Micah
the hell out of there.
Hi, Molly.
I'm Dr. Suresh,
and I need to
take some blood,
if that's okay.
Molly, I want
to stop the man
who hurt your family
and who tried
to hurt you.
You can't stop
the boogeyman.
He sees into your soul,
and then he eats your brain.
Well,
you know who can
stop the boogeyman?
You.
I hear you have
an amazing ability.
It's not so amazing.
They ask me
where people are,
and I find them.
You find them? What?
Anywhere in the world?
Yeah,
I just think about them,
and then
I know where they are.
But it doesn't
work right now.
Well, that is a very
special ability, Molly.
Because the boogeyman,
he Iikes to hide.
But if you can
tell us where he is,
we can make sure
he never comes back again.
You're different
from the other doctors.
They're much better at this.
Thanks.
So, you're telling me
this guy Ted Sprague
blew up your house?
Yeah, pretty much.
Don't you see this, Nathan?
Maybe I'm not the bomb.
Maybe this guy
Ted Sprague is.
Maybe we can stop him.
You said you had a dream
that you blew up
New York City.
Yeah,
I also dreamed
that I could fly.
We know how
that turned out for you.
You can fly?
That's cool.
The election is tomorrow.
Pick up the phone,
call the FBI.
We need to find him.
Nathan.
Trust me.
I'II make a few calls.
CIaire.
You've been through a Iot,
and you're very brave.
I just want you to
know that I admire that.
Mr. Linderman,
we have a problem.
Oh, thank you, Lord,
for bringing
my Gabriel home safe.
Hi, Mom.
Thank you, Lord.
Come in.
If I'd known you were coming,
I would have straightened up
more.
I brought it from Texas.
It's...
For your collection.
...perfect!
One more,
and I have the continent.
I'm just missing Oregon.
I hear it's beautiful there.
Green everywhere.
The clock's broken.
Oh, that old thing,
I should have thrown
it away years ago.
It was Dad's.
It's junk.
It's a beautiful piece.
It just needs
a Iittle attention.
I can tell you
how proud I am.
I haven't done anything.
You've traveled the world.
Some of us only get to
see it in snow globes.
I'm tired of traveling.
I think I might stay here.
In Queens?
Why would you ever come back?
If I stayed,
maybe I could stop.
Maybe I wouldn't have to...
What?
Gabriel?
I'm gonna
make you a sandwich.
Do you want tuna fish?
PIease don't,
I'm not hungry.
Well...
If you insist on staying,
you should call Mr. Bilger,
that man from Smith & Barney.
You fixed his Rolex.
Why would I call him?
Because he said you should.
He said you were
very talented
and very special.
Maybe he could
get you a job.
I have a job.
I fix watches.
That's a hobby.
Investment banking
is a very Iucrative field.
I can't be
an investment banker.
You could be
anything you want.
Mom, he wouldn't
even remember who I am.
Who could forget you?
Mom, you're not
even Iistening to me!
I am Iistening.
No.
You're making
a tuna sandwich.
So?
I asked you not to.
I made a mistake.
I'm sorry!
No, Mom.
Mom, don't. Don't.
Oh, no, no. No!
Don't, it's just...
Maybe I don't
have to be special.
That's okay to just
be a normal watchmaker.
Can't you just
tell me that's enough?
Why would I tell you that
when I know you
could be so much more?
If you wanted,
you could be president.
What are we doing here?
Shouldn't we be Iooking
for Ted?
No. The FBI and police
aren't going to believe us.
They'II take
Nathan seriously, though.
He can evacuate the people.
Wait.
What? What?
What? What? What?
What is it?
That man.
That's the man
my father works for.
He's the one
I've been running from.
We gotta get out of here.
Wait a minute.
We don't know
what's happening in there.
Linderman
doesn't have a grasp
on the situation, Thompson.
And why would
you think that?
AII the pundits think
I'm gonna Iose.
And this morning
my brother tells me
about a fella
named Ted Sprague.
Ring a bell?
We know all about Sprague.
I don't appreciate
being kept in the dark,
especially not today.
Oh, God,
I can't believe
I've been so stupid.
My father took
a bullet to keep me
from that man,
and now he's with Nathan.
It can't be
what you think.
Why do you keep
running back to him?
'Cause he's my brother.
The truth is,
you have no idea
what's gonna happen.
You're nervous.
Nervous?
You want to blow up
half of New York.
Yes, we do.
You're scared.
Yeah, I am.
I'm terrified.
I have to find
a nuclear man,
and I don't know
if I can contain
all that power.
Then run the other way.
I can't.
Why not?
Because if we save ourselves,
who's gonna save
everyone else?
Why are you asking me
to make this sacrifice?
For the best of reasons.
You're not alone, CIaire.
AII right?
You coming?
No. This is crazy.
I'm getting out of here.
Micah, I'm gonna
go hop in the shower.
(TV PLAYING)
You gonna be okay?
Hey, Mom,
I'm sorry that I
talked back to you earlier.
I know that you
just want what's best.
Thanks.
(SHOWER RUNNING)
(TV PLAYING)
Who are you?
How'd you do that?
I can make you
see anything I want.
Makes it kind of
hard to get away,
huh?
Where's my mom?
Look,
I don't want to hurt you.
I Iike you.
But if you don't Iisten
to what Mr. Linderman says,
well,
I'II show you things
that'II seriously
mess you up for Iife.
So you need to behave.
Okay?
(VIRGINIA HUMMING)
What if I told you
that I can be special?
Important.
But to do it, I'd have
to hurt a Iot of people.
Should I?
You? You can
never hurt anyone.
There's a Iot of
things that I can do
that you don't know about.
I have something to show you.
What are you doing?
I know how much
you Iove snow globes.
How did you...
Gabriel?
Gabriel?
(GROANS)
(GROANS)
I'm sorry, Molly.
I didn't mean to
frighten you.
You can't help me either.
It's okay.
No, actually,
my father did find a cure.
It's called an antibody.
Unfortunately,
we don't know
where or what it is.
It's hiding,
Iike the boogeyman.
Exactly.
Who's that?
It's my sister, Shanti.
She's very pretty.
This is the first time
I've ever seen her.
She died before I was born.
Am I going to die?
Molly,
my father did everything
he could to save my sister.
He was just
a few months too Iate.
I won't be, I promise.
What's this?
It'II protect you
from the boogeyman.
Thank you.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
PIease.
I'm sorry I scared you.
Just come out
and talk to me.
PIease.
Mom?
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
I saw a vision of the future,
and I'm gonna
kill a Iot of people.
Tell me why
I would do that.
Mom?
Mom?
I'm Ieaving.
And when I get back,
I expect you to be gone.
Don't say that, Mom.
It's me. It's Gabriel.
You're not Gabriel.
You're damned,
and I want you
out of my house.
Let go!
Get away from me!
Mom, calm down.
Get away!
Calm down.
I want my son.
What did you do with my son?
Give me back my boy.
Mom, please, it's me.
It's me, Mom, please...
My Gabriel...
Mom. Stop it!
You're not!
You're not!
You're not!
You're not! You're not!
I'm sorry.
(HEART BEATING)
(SCREAMS)
That heartbeat...
You were in the Ioft.
Why are you following me?
I must stop you.
Then do it.
Do it! Kill me!
You can't, you coward.
Now I'm gonna
have to kill you.
ANDO: Hiro!
You did it.
You found the cure.
Where was it?
It was in me.
Sometimes,
when a mommy and
daddy have a sick child,
they have another baby,
a healthy baby with
healthy antibodies.
And if we're very Iucky,
the healthy baby's blood
will heal the sick baby.
Unfortunately,
I was born a Iittle
too Iate to help my sister.
But I'm not too
Iate to help you.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
You weren't even
going to say goodbye?
Goodbye.
I think I figured a way
for you to save the world.
A gun?
That's how I save the world,
that's your plan?
I can handle Ted.
But if I Iose it,
you're the only one
who can get close
enough to stop me.
Right through
the back of the head.
You know the spot.
The same place you pulled
the piece of glass from.
My destiny is
not to shoot you.
The universe
cannot be that Iame.
You cannot run away
from who you are, CIaire.
This bomb is happening.
How can you be so sure?
Because I can
draw the future.
I met a guy who can do it,
now I can do it, you see?
Someone's gonna blow.
Me, Ted.
It doesn't really matter.
It's happening
around the election,
unless you stop it.
That's Ted.
You drew Ted.
Are you sure?
I can never forget that face.
That's Kirby PIaza, midtown.
Ted is here in New York.
Don't you see, CIaire?
You're part of this.
But you have to do this.
(DOOR OPENING)
Thank you, Benedict.
What are you doing here?
I didn't think I'd see
you till Iater tonight.
A mother can't be
worried about her son
on the most important
day of his Iife?
I was just
working on the speech,
some details
of the concession.
I'm not talking
about the election.
Linderman called me.
He said you're
getting cold feet.
It's natural to
feel ambivalent.
Nobody expects you
to feel otherwise.
So I wanted to
give you perspective.
You know about
Linderman's plans?
Yes. Well,
they're not
just Linderman's.
A Iot of people
put time and care
into making this a reality.
Myself included.
You?
Yes, you don't know
everything about me,
Nathan.
But I do know
everything about you.
And I know what
you're capable of.
You think
I'm a mass murderer?
Important men make
impossible decisions.
President Truman
dropped two atomic bombs
on Japan to end World War II.
Killed thousands
to save millions.
That was different,
Ma, we were at war.
I can't accept this.
That is your one weakness,
Nathan, you have no faith.
So how could you
possibly believe
this bomb
could actually
heal the world
if you have no faith
in the idea of destiny?
Your destiny, Nathan,
is to set
the course of history
after this unspeakable
act has occurred.
The people will Iook
back on what you do
as the freshman congressman
from New York,
and they will thank you
for your strength,
for your conviction,
for your faith.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
In my day, we called
it being presidential.
Can you believe?
Can you be
the one we need?
That's my boy.
You were right, Mom.
I am meant to be special,
just Iike you wanted.
I can be anything.
I can even be president.
There's no sign of him.
What's wrong?
I'm not normal.
I tried to
pretend that I was,
and I just hurt everyone.
My mom, my dad.
I ruined everything
because of what I am.
I hated it.
But you...
When I met you,
I finally felt Iike
I was part of something.
That's funny.
I felt the same thing
when I met you.
Dad.
Dad! Dad!
CIaire.
I Iove you, CIaire Bear.
CIaire!
What's he doing?
He's absorbing your ability.
He's gotta make it stop.
Previously on Heroes.
This tragedy will
be a catalyst for good.
And it's your destiny,
Nathan,
to be the Ieader who uses
this event to rally a city,
a nation, a world.
I have a chance to
be a part of something big.
The election.
You need me to Ieave.
I need to win.
You've been
going about this
all wrong, Professor.
Trying to
take on the science and
the killer all on your own?
The best way to stop Sylar
is for us to work together.
Hey! Hey!
No one's gonna hurt you.
AII right.
AUDREY: We need
you to talk to her.
MATT: Talk to who?
Molly Walker,
the Iittle girl you found.
What makes you think
she's gonna talk to me?
Well, if you're
really a mind reader,
she won't need to.
I need to borrow your Micah.
Micah's off Iimits.
How would you Iike
to save the world today?
This is usually the part
when people start screaming.
They stop you and you die.
(SCREAMING)
Parkman?
We gotta go.
How did you
even get in here?
Bennet, he's got a plan.
(ALARM BLARING)
That went
better than I expected.
As Iong as that
tracking system
is in place,
you'II never be safe.
The system is well protected,
but we can get to it,
destroy it.
We can end it all.
Where is this
tracking system?
New York City.
We're on the next bus.
HIRO:
Is that a new 9th Wonder?
You're trying
to change the past.
Trying to stop Sylar,
is that it?
I'II take you
where it's safe.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
Don't worry, New York!
We will save you!
Come on, boys.
Honey, we're home!
How's my girl?
BOTH: Daddy!
Hey, boys, come here.
HEIDI: Anything
interesting happen
while we were gone?
Nope, everything was
unbelievably ordinary.
Wait till you see
what I got you, guys.
What do you think it is?
Paris is cold
this time of year,
so here's a nice warm coat.
Brown wool.
It's not flashy,
but it's fashionable.
Now Iet's talk about gloves.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
I'II Iet you two
say goodbye.
You can't Ieave.
I have to.
At Ieast
until the election's over.
I found you in Odessa.
We save each other,
you end up being my niece.
This isn't just random,
okay?
This is destiny!
My father sacrificed himself
so that I could have a Iife,
not a destiny.
You can't save me, Peter.
Not this time.
And Nathan can?
Nathan can keep me safe.
Safe?
You can't get hurt!
You're here to
save the world.
How?
I'm sorry,
I can't go around
chasing some fantasy.
It's not some fantasy, okay?
I explode.
I see it.
I wipe out
this whole city.
You, Nathan, everyone.
You explode?
Yeah.
Like a nuclear bomb.
Nuclear?
Like Ted.
Ted?
Who the hell is Ted?
(CAR ENGINE SPUTTERING)
I told you
no phone calls.
It's my wife.
If we're going on
a suicide mission,
I'd Iike to tell her
I Iove her, say goodbye.
You think I don't
want to talk to my wife?
That I don't miss
my son and my daughter?
We're doing this to
protect the people
we Iove.
The company has
a new tracking system.
Now, this Walker
System doesn't rely
on isotopes and satellites.
It just finds you
wherever you are.
So we've gotta
play this smart.
Switch cars,
stay to the back roads.
Fine, we go to New York,
we wipe out the Walker System.
Exactly.
Ted?
Yeah, almost done.
Let's go.
SYLAR: That man...
the glowing hands.
He's the exploding man.
I'm going to take his power.
I'm going to explode.
Is this my future?
Is this what you saw, Isaac?
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello.
SYLAR: Mohinder,
I need your help.
Sylar?
I think
I'm gonna do something bad.
You're a murderer.
You don't get
the luxury of regret.
You don't understand.
I think I'm gonna kill
a Iot more people,
a lot more.
I understood it
before the killing.
I had a reason
to take what
others didn't deserve.
It was natural selection.
What are you talking about?
An apocalypse.
A massacre.
Half the city
gone in an instant.
They mean nothing.
They're innocent.
There's no gain,
so why would I do it?
What possible
reason could I have
for killing so many?
Wait, Iisten.
You don't have to.
If you're
truly repentant
about what you've done,
turn yourself in.
I can
hear you dialing 91 1.
It was a mistake to call.
No, wait! Sylar? Sylar!
D.L.: Where's Micah?
A car
from the Corinthian
Casino picked him up.
That's Linderman's casino.
What aren't you
telling me?
Linderman said that
he needed Micah for a job.
A job?
He's 10 years old,
and you Iet him go?
Of course not!
I told him no.
What have you done?
Me?
It was Linderman.
No, this is your fault!
Your responsibility!
I'm done with you.
I'II get Micah my damn self.
Don't Iet him go.
You're the one
that can save Micah.
He's gonna get killed
if he goes alone.
PIease.
Wait!
(MAN CHATTERING)
(CROWD CHEERING)
No, everything's
under control, Mr. Linderman.
He's a good kid.
Not that I mind
the babysitting,
but don't you think
this is a waste of my talent?
Thanks.
No, I appreciate that, I do.
I will.
Who was on the phone?
It was Mr. Linderman.
He wanted to make sure
that you were ready
for tomorrow.
Isn't that nice?
Mom,
I don't Iike Mr. Linderman.
Well, why not?
I don't know.
He smells funny.
Mom, I don't Iike it here.
I don't
want to do this.
Micah...
I want to go home.
Mr. Linderman helped us,
and now we have to help him.
That's the Iast that
I want to talk about it, okay?
But, Mom, I just don't...
Micah, that's enough.
You know that I would
never Iet anything bad
happen to you, right?
Give me a smile.
It's good to see
you again, Professor.
So, have you
thought about my offer?
Are you ready to
come to work for us?
As far as I can tell,
you're all a bunch of
untrustworthy gundas.
Is that a no?
No, I'm not going
to work for you.
You're going to work for me.
You're going to show
me everything you do,
everything you know,
and I'm going to use it
to help me stop Sylar.
And why would I do that?
You raided my father's
office in Chennai,
planted Eden as
my next door neighbor.
You want what I have,
the formula.
I can find more of them.
You're the one who needs me.
Some people died because
you Ied Sylar right to them.
And now you blame yourself,
so you become a vigilante.
That's cute.
Is that a no?
What choice do I have?
Come on in.
What is this place?
There's someone
you need to meet.
Molly Walker.
Does the name
ring any bells?
Yeah, she was on
my father's Iist.
That's right.
Your father Ied
Sylar right to her.
He slaughtered her parents,
then attacked her.
How did she survive?
Well, Iuckily, we got to her.
That's what we do.
We find people
with abilities,
help them,
protect them.
And she's sick,
isn't she?
How can you tell?
Her nucleotides
are decomposing.
You need to
get her to a doctor.
A doctor can't help her.
I'm thinking maybe you can.
I'm a geneticist.
I wouldn't know
the first thing about this.
Molly's virus is very rare.
It's destroying
her nervous system.
It prevents her from
accessing her ability.
There's been one other case,
an Indian girl, 1974.
My sister.
Shanti died.
Yes, we know.
Sadly,
your father developed
a cure months too Iate.
Unfortunately for Molly,
our people can't figure
out what that cure is.
Cute, huh?
You're trying
to manipulate me?
Showing me this poor girl,
preying on Shanti's memory.
Sylar is out there,
and he's planning
a slaughter.
Everyone is in danger,
and this...
None of this
is going to help.
You just don't get it.
Molly is the only one
who can stop Sylar.
SYLAR: It's me.
I know it's been a while,
but I've been thinking
about things.
Thinking about the future,
my future.
I know it's Iast-minute,
but if I could just
come talk to you.
Can I come over?
Great.
I'II see you soon.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(HEART BEATING)
I can hear you.
Whoever you are,
come on out.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
You do that again,
I will kill you.
You're Iucky I didn't
Ieave your ass
stuck in the wall
after what you've done.
What the hell is this place?
It's where Linderman
restores his art.
He usually
hangs out in here.
What's that?
Is that supposed to be...
JESSICA: Micah?
Where is he?
I don't know,
New York, maybe.
Our fourth grade report card.
Niki's immunization records.
School photos
and medical files.
JESSICA:
He's tracked
our entire Iife.
This finally makes sense.
No, this is crazy.
Nobody does
what you and I can do.
What Micah can do,
nobody.
My Iife.
Me and Niki,
everything we had, it was...
It wasn't real.
It was
all Linderman's
science experiment.
AII this time
Linderman's just been
playing with our Iives.
What are you doing?
Linderman
obviously isn't here.
We're wasting our time.
If Linderman knows
this much about us,
he must know
something about Micah.
Where he went,
what he's doing.
Linderman went to New York.
There is some note about
Petrelli on election day.
We find Linderman,
we find Micah.
Let's get Micah
the hell out of there.
Hi, Molly.
I'm Dr. Suresh,
and I need to
take some blood,
if that's okay.
Molly, I want
to stop the man
who hurt your family
and who tried
to hurt you.
You can't stop
the boogeyman.
He sees into your soul,
and then he eats your brain.
Well,
you know who can
stop the boogeyman?
You.
I hear you have
an amazing ability.
It's not so amazing.
They ask me
where people are,
and I find them.
You find them? What?
Anywhere in the world?
Yeah,
I just think about them,
and then
I know where they are.
But it doesn't
work right now.
Well, that is a very
special ability, Molly.
Because the boogeyman,
he Iikes to hide.
But if you can
tell us where he is,
we can make sure
he never comes back again.
You're different
from the other doctors.
They're much better at this.
Thanks.
So, you're telling me
this guy Ted Sprague
blew up your house?
Yeah, pretty much.
Don't you see this, Nathan?
Maybe I'm not the bomb.
Maybe this guy
Ted Sprague is.
Maybe we can stop him.
You said you had a dream
that you blew up
New York City.
Yeah,
I also dreamed
that I could fly.
We know how
that turned out for you.
You can fly?
That's cool.
The election is tomorrow.
Pick up the phone,
call the FBI.
We need to find him.
Nathan.
Trust me.
I'II make a few calls.
CIaire.
You've been through a Iot,
and you're very brave.
I just want you to
know that I admire that.
Mr. Linderman,
we have a problem.
Oh, thank you, Lord,
for bringing
my Gabriel home safe.
Hi, Mom.
Thank you, Lord.
Come in.
If I'd known you were coming,
I would have straightened up
more.
I brought it from Texas.
It's...
For your collection.
...perfect!
One more,
and I have the continent.
I'm just missing Oregon.
I hear it's beautiful there.
Green everywhere.
The clock's broken.
Oh, that old thing,
I should have thrown
it away years ago.
It was Dad's.
It's junk.
It's a beautiful piece.
It just needs
a Iittle attention.
I can tell you
how proud I am.
I haven't done anything.
You've traveled the world.
Some of us only get to
see it in snow globes.
I'm tired of traveling.
I think I might stay here.
In Queens?
Why would you ever come back?
If I stayed,
maybe I could stop.
Maybe I wouldn't have to...
What?
Gabriel?
I'm gonna
make you a sandwich.
Do you want tuna fish?
PIease don't,
I'm not hungry.
Well...
If you insist on staying,
you should call Mr. Bilger,
that man from Smith & Barney.
You fixed his Rolex.
Why would I call him?
Because he said you should.
He said you were
very talented
and very special.
Maybe he could
get you a job.
I have a job.
I fix watches.
That's a hobby.
Investment banking
is a very Iucrative field.
I can't be
an investment banker.
You could be
anything you want.
Mom, he wouldn't
even remember who I am.
Who could forget you?
Mom, you're not
even Iistening to me!
I am Iistening.
No.
You're making
a tuna sandwich.
So?
I asked you not to.
I made a mistake.
I'm sorry!
No, Mom.
Mom, don't. Don't.
Oh, no, no. No!
Don't, it's just...
Maybe I don't
have to be special.
That's okay to just
be a normal watchmaker.
Can't you just
tell me that's enough?
Why would I tell you that
when I know you
could be so much more?
If you wanted,
you could be president.
What are we doing here?
Shouldn't we be Iooking
for Ted?
No. The FBI and police
aren't going to believe us.
They'II take
Nathan seriously, though.
He can evacuate the people.
Wait.
What? What?
What? What? What?
What is it?
That man.
That's the man
my father works for.
He's the one
I've been running from.
We gotta get out of here.
Wait a minute.
We don't know
what's happening in there.
Linderman
doesn't have a grasp
on the situation, Thompson.
And why would
you think that?
AII the pundits think
I'm gonna Iose.
And this morning
my brother tells me
about a fella
named Ted Sprague.
Ring a bell?
We know all about Sprague.
I don't appreciate
being kept in the dark,
especially not today.
Oh, God,
I can't believe
I've been so stupid.
My father took
a bullet to keep me
from that man,
and now he's with Nathan.
It can't be
what you think.
Why do you keep
running back to him?
'Cause he's my brother.
The truth is,
you have no idea
what's gonna happen.
You're nervous.
Nervous?
You want to blow up
half of New York.
Yes, we do.
You're scared.
Yeah, I am.
I'm terrified.
I have to find
a nuclear man,
and I don't know
if I can contain
all that power.
Then run the other way.
I can't.
Why not?
Because if we save ourselves,
who's gonna save
everyone else?
Why are you asking me
to make this sacrifice?
For the best of reasons.
You're not alone, CIaire.
AII right?
You coming?
No. This is crazy.
I'm getting out of here.
Micah, I'm gonna
go hop in the shower.
(TV PLAYING)
You gonna be okay?
Hey, Mom,
I'm sorry that I
talked back to you earlier.
I know that you
just want what's best.
Thanks.
(SHOWER RUNNING)
(TV PLAYING)
Who are you?
How'd you do that?
I can make you
see anything I want.
Makes it kind of
hard to get away,
huh?
Where's my mom?
Look,
I don't want to hurt you.
I Iike you.
But if you don't Iisten
to what Mr. Linderman says,
well,
I'II show you things
that'II seriously
mess you up for Iife.
So you need to behave.
Okay?
(VIRGINIA HUMMING)
What if I told you
that I can be special?
Important.
But to do it, I'd have
to hurt a Iot of people.
Should I?
You? You can
never hurt anyone.
There's a Iot of
things that I can do
that you don't know about.
I have something to show you.
What are you doing?
I know how much
you Iove snow globes.
How did you...
Gabriel?
Gabriel?
(GROANS)
(GROANS)
I'm sorry, Molly.
I didn't mean to
frighten you.
You can't help me either.
It's okay.
No, actually,
my father did find a cure.
It's called an antibody.
Unfortunately,
we don't know
where or what it is.
It's hiding,
Iike the boogeyman.
Exactly.
Who's that?
It's my sister, Shanti.
She's very pretty.
This is the first time
I've ever seen her.
She died before I was born.
Am I going to die?
Molly,
my father did everything
he could to save my sister.
He was just
a few months too Iate.
I won't be, I promise.
What's this?
It'II protect you
from the boogeyman.
Thank you.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
PIease.
I'm sorry I scared you.
Just come out
and talk to me.
PIease.
Mom?
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
I saw a vision of the future,
and I'm gonna
kill a Iot of people.
Tell me why
I would do that.
Mom?
Mom?
I'm Ieaving.
And when I get back,
I expect you to be gone.
Don't say that, Mom.
It's me. It's Gabriel.
You're not Gabriel.
You're damned,
and I want you
out of my house.
Let go!
Get away from me!
Mom, calm down.
Get away!
Calm down.
I want my son.
What did you do with my son?
Give me back my boy.
Mom, please, it's me.
It's me, Mom, please...
My Gabriel...
Mom. Stop it!
You're not!
You're not!
You're not!
You're not! You're not!
I'm sorry.
(HEART BEATING)
(SCREAMS)
That heartbeat...
You were in the Ioft.
Why are you following me?
I must stop you.
Then do it.
Do it! Kill me!
You can't, you coward.
Now I'm gonna
have to kill you.
ANDO: Hiro!
You did it.
You found the cure.
Where was it?
It was in me.
Sometimes,
when a mommy and
daddy have a sick child,
they have another baby,
a healthy baby with
healthy antibodies.
And if we're very Iucky,
the healthy baby's blood
will heal the sick baby.
Unfortunately,
I was born a Iittle
too Iate to help my sister.
But I'm not too
Iate to help you.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
You weren't even
going to say goodbye?
Goodbye.
I think I figured a way
for you to save the world.
A gun?
That's how I save the world,
that's your plan?
I can handle Ted.
But if I Iose it,
you're the only one
who can get close
enough to stop me.
Right through
the back of the head.
You know the spot.
The same place you pulled
the piece of glass from.
My destiny is
not to shoot you.
The universe
cannot be that Iame.
You cannot run away
from who you are, CIaire.
This bomb is happening.
How can you be so sure?
Because I can
draw the future.
I met a guy who can do it,
now I can do it, you see?
Someone's gonna blow.
Me, Ted.
It doesn't really matter.
It's happening
around the election,
unless you stop it.
That's Ted.
You drew Ted.
Are you sure?
I can never forget that face.
That's Kirby PIaza, midtown.
Ted is here in New York.
Don't you see, CIaire?
You're part of this.
But you have to do this.
(DOOR OPENING)
Thank you, Benedict.
What are you doing here?
I didn't think I'd see
you till Iater tonight.
A mother can't be
worried about her son
on the most important
day of his Iife?
I was just
working on the speech,
some details
of the concession.
I'm not talking
about the election.
Linderman called me.
He said you're
getting cold feet.
It's natural to
feel ambivalent.
Nobody expects you
to feel otherwise.
So I wanted to
give you perspective.
You know about
Linderman's plans?
Yes. Well,
they're not
just Linderman's.
A Iot of people
put time and care
into making this a reality.
Myself included.
You?
Yes, you don't know
everything about me,
Nathan.
But I do know
everything about you.
And I know what
you're capable of.
You think
I'm a mass murderer?
Important men make
impossible decisions.
President Truman
dropped two atomic bombs
on Japan to end World War II.
Killed thousands
to save millions.
That was different,
Ma, we were at war.
I can't accept this.
That is your one weakness,
Nathan, you have no faith.
So how could you
possibly believe
this bomb
could actually
heal the world
if you have no faith
in the idea of destiny?
Your destiny, Nathan,
is to set
the course of history
after this unspeakable
act has occurred.
The people will Iook
back on what you do
as the freshman congressman
from New York,
and they will thank you
for your strength,
for your conviction,
for your faith.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
In my day, we called
it being presidential.
Can you believe?
Can you be
the one we need?
That's my boy.
You were right, Mom.
I am meant to be special,
just Iike you wanted.
I can be anything.
I can even be president.
There's no sign of him.
What's wrong?
I'm not normal.
I tried to
pretend that I was,
and I just hurt everyone.
My mom, my dad.
I ruined everything
because of what I am.
I hated it.
But you...
When I met you,
I finally felt Iike
I was part of something.
That's funny.
I felt the same thing
when I met you.
Dad.
Dad! Dad!
CIaire.
I Iove you, CIaire Bear.
CIaire!
What's he doing?
He's absorbing your ability.
He's gotta make it stop.
