Heroes Reborn (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 1 - Brave New World - full transcript

(RING TONE)

CLAIRE: Hey, this is Claire, leave
me a message and I'll call you back.

(BEEPS)

NOAH: Hey,
it's your dad.

I know it's been a few years
since we've talked, and...

I don't know
if you're still mad or...

Mmm, I don't really know
anything.

I just know... I miss you.

I'm sure there's plenty of apologies to
go around. But to be honest with you,

I'm not interested in who was
right or wrong anymore.

So much has changed
since I saw you last.



I don't know whether those
changes are good or bad, but...

I really think it has
a chance to all work out.

And knowing how important you've
been through all of this,

to so many people out there,

it's made me proud.

And I just wanted to call
and tell you

how excited I am that
we might be seeing each other.

When you look back at the things you've
done, the decisions you've made...

Whoa!

NOAH: The last thing
you wanna feel... Is regret.

Am I right?

I'll see you soon,
Claire Bear.

On little Odessa, Texas.

Headquarters of Primatech, the
global leaders of Evo research.

Massive evidence
now at hand...

MALE REPORTER 2:
Odessa, if that's...

MALE REPORTER 3:
The once thriving city in
Central Texas...

MALE COMMENTATOR:
Why did this have to happen?

BILL CLINTON:
It was a despicable
and cowardly act.

MALE REPORTER 4:
Wasteland buyer...

BARACK OBAMA:
These are the seeds of hate

that we cannot let take
root in our heart.

MITCH MCCONNELL: These
horrific attacks are
a grim reminder

of the hatred and contempt...

BARACK OBAMA:
Bigotry that says another

person is less than my equal,
less than human.

MALE REPORTER 5:
Hospital here in Odessa...

FEMALE COMMENTATOR 1: Listen,
I wanted to trust those Evos.

FEMALE COMMENTATOR 2:
We as a people do not want
this kind of thing

happening in our
United States...

FEMALE COMMENTATOR 3:
We can't just let them
get away with this!

MALE COMMENTATOR 4:
Who did this? And Why?

MALE COMMENTATOR 5:
We have got to go
attack the enemy.

MALE COMMENTATOR 6:
These bullies and tyrants
and terrorists with strength.

MITCH MCCONNELL:
And so we are newly reminded

that serious threats to
our way of life remain.

committed this vicious attack to justice.

MALE OFFICER 1: Go, on.
Move along. In a line, please.

Hero Truther says in other countries,
they shoot people like us in the streets.

It's Canada, not North Korea.

You'll be safe.
Canadians are nice.

TOMMY: That's what you
said about people in Denver.

ANNE: What is it?

(GASPS) They're swabbing.

Hold it right there!
(TASER FIRING)

(TIRES SQUEALING)

(SIREN WAILING DISTANTLY)

Coach Lewis?

Ah, Jeez.
You gotta be kiddin' me.

MALE NEWSCASTER:
Odessa, a once thriving city
in Central Texas,

is reduced to
a desolate wasteland

by a cowardly act of Eve-terrorism.
Password?

Cockroach?

MALE NEWSCASTER'. Why Odessa?

It was the headquarters of Primatech,
a company steeped in secrecy.

Primatech opened its doors on June 13th
for what was to be a three day summit.

People gathered from all around
the world, hoping to build

a better future, where humans and
Evos could co-exist in peace.

Within hours, an Evo-supremacist
named Mohinder Suresh claimed

full responsibility
for the attacks.

Lies, all of it.

WOMAN 1: This is pathetic.

How the hell are we supposed to fight
back if we can't even organize?

We just got to get creative. There's
a guy in Los Angeles fighting back.

Calls himself "El Vengador."

A dude in a Mexican wrestler costume.
That's a joke, right?

Is it?
At least he's doing something.

I hear he's got a whole
underground railroad out there.

Fake ID's, fake blood samples.
It's a way to disappear.

One guy, so what?

Pretty soon they'll send
drones after us.

WOMAN 2: June 13th
changed everything.

Public's scared to death
of us.

COACH LEWIS: Most of these
incidents are isolated.

Tulsa, Cedar Rapids. They're vigilantes,
a few bad apples. That's all.

If it was just vigilantes, the government
wouldn't be forcing us to register.

People don't get it. It's not the
government or the vigilantes

we should be worried about.

The ones who're really hunting us?
They're in the shadows.

There's something else going on here.
And they're everywhere.

Well, that's just great.

So what are we supposed
to do with that? Chase ghosts?

My mom sleeps with a gun under her
pillow, when she sleeps at all.

And we use fake names most of the time.
(CHUCKLES)

I'm calling myself Tommy now.
No names for God's sakes.

Now we're wanted in three states all
because I can't control my power.

I came here tonight because I thought
maybe someone could give me a few tips.

Help me out a little.

You came to the wrong
place, my friend.

(INCOMING TEXT ALERT)

(HEAVY BREATHING)

I... Uh, I gotta go.

My mom.

Sorry.

Hey, look out!
Ow!

I'm so sorry. DELIVERY
GUY: Come on.

(STUTTERING)
I'm really sorry.

(PANTING)

(FENCE CLATTERING)

Argh!

(OVERLAPPING CHATTERING)

You can't have a revolution
without casualties.

Resistance is our only answer!
By any means possible. Exactly.

We need to stop acting like victims here.
We're the ones with powers.

Suresh was right.
We are the future.

(LUKE LAUGHING)

"The future"?

That's a good one.

On June 13th, my wife and I, we
brought our 9-year-old son, Dennis,

to Odessa to watch
history being made.

It was a beautiful day,
sun was shinin',

summer heat was risin' up
off the ground.

Like everyone there, we
believed in the cause,

we believed that the change

could come from that spot,
right then and there.

And then when I watched my...
My boy die in my arms,

I realized... (STUTTERS) That
just wasn't gonna happen.

You all seem like
really nice folks.

You can't change
who you are, what you are,

but these powers,
they're not natural.

They're not safe, and
they cannot be trusted.

So as far as I'm concerned, there's
only one solution for that.

And what solution is that?

It's a trap! They found us.

(GUN FIRING)
(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

(YELLING)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

One of them got away.

Dropped this.

Moe's Ice Cream Parlor.

Carbondale, Illinois.

One more and we get
a free ice-cream.

For Dennis.

NOAH: Memories are
funny things.

The good ones fill your
life with meaning.

With context, with clarity.

While other memories
can deceive.

The ones that make you believe
you know the truth,

they're the dangerous ones.

The ones that hold
you hostage.

When you look back on all the
decisions you've made in your life,

the one thing you
don't wanna feel

is regret.

Am I right?

That's why this car makes
so much sense.

Gas mileage, style, safety.
It's got it all.

NOAH: Not to mention that new-car smell.
(MOM CHUCKLES)

What do you think, young lady?
(SLURPS)

(CHUCKLES)
Okay.

PA ANNOUNCEMENT: Leasing
office, pick up line three.

Leasing office, line three.

So, should I get started
on the paperwork?

I'd like to check the safety
stats on the car first.

You've probably got kids,
right, Mr. Barnes?

(MOANING)

Linda, you're amazing.
Oh, it's Lisa.

Oh, Lisa, yeah, right.

(MOANING)
(BELL RINGING)

We gotta stop.
What... Why? What's wrong?

Oh, lunchtime.
You're on in five.

(BOTH SIGHING)

CARLOS: AH I know about
being a hero is,

it's not something
you're born with.

And if you had told me
when I was your age

that I'd be getting
a medal of valor

for saving three soldiers
from an ambush in Afghanistan,

I'd have said you were nuts.

But...

Here I am.

I'd like to thank Principal
Marks and Miss, Miss, uh...

Carpenter.

Right. Uh, for giving me such a...
A warm welcome today.

I'll leave you with
this last thought.

It doesn't matter how ordinary
you think you are

or how much of a screw up
you think you've been,

we all have the potential
to be heroes.

Thank you.

(LAUGHING)

EMILY: Do you want it?
BRAD: Yeah.

EMILY: Hey, Brad!

MALE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT 1:
Yeah. Who knows?

MALE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT 2:
So they, like, customize it?

MALE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT 1: Yeah,
but you have to order... Hey!

You like my girlfriend?
What?

You're staring at my girlfriend.
No, I wasn't staring at...

(TOMMY GRUNTS)

(SCOFFS)
Wuss.

(GRUNTING)

(CRYING)

They said his wife didn't
even know he was in Chicago.

TOMMY: Did something happen?

Coach Lewis died in a fire last
night with six other people.

I've been here an hour now.
The other guy told me to wait.

Mmm. Waiting.

Too many people go through life
waiting for things to happen

instead of making them happen.

Ah.

Now...

Let's talk about what you saw.

I'm riding my bike down
H Street with my delivery

when this little prick
runs right into me.

$28 worth of food
on the ground.

He came runnin' out of that church,
right before it caught fire,

so I'm guessing he killed
all those people.

Could you identify this
"prick" if you saw him again?

Is there a reward?

Go ahead.

I don't understand.
What's this for?

Penny for your thoughts.

All right, so let's see if we can get
a description of that kid you saw.

Kid?

Sorry, I don't remember
anything about a kid.

Excuse me, Miss,
can I help you?

That depends.

Okay, now for your
favorite subject.

This week, if we
knock off the cake tasting,

the band audition
and the gift registration,

we are way ahead of schedule.

And I've got my heart
set on red velvet.

I know you're a coconut man...

Who doesn't love
red velvet?

And for the registry, I thought
we should start with the china.

I think I just wanna
go white. All white.

Yeah, white...
White's good. I like white.

Tell me the truth, Ted.
Are you just humoring me?

Why would I lie to you?

(KNOCKING)

(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)

(JAPANESE MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey. You're the ice
cream junkie, right?

What? Well, you're at
Moe's all the time.

Oh. (CHUCKLES) Uh,yeah,I
guess I like ice cream.

(CHUCKLES)
So it's not because of me.

(CHUCKLES) I'm just messing with you.
(CHUCKLES)

I'm the one who drew the happy
face on your punch card.

On, I know. (CHUCKLES)

Hey, uh, we need a new scooper.
You should come in.

They're letting me do the interviews.
(CHUCKLES)

Okay. Yeah. Maybe.

Um, hey, I heard
about what Brad did to you.

I'm sorry.

Brad acts like a tough guy, but he's not.
He's just...

A total narcissistic jerk?
(CHUCKLES)

(BOTH LAUGHING)
Sometimes, yeah.

Hey, did you hear what they're
saying about Coach Lewis?

That he might have
been an Evo?

Uh, an... "An Evo"?

Evolved. Had powers.
(BELL RINGING)

Really?

Well... (CHUCKLES) I gotta get
to a French club meeting.

But seriously, you should
come in for that job.

Brad.
Hey!

Hey!
What time are you coming over?

(INCOMING TEXT ALERT)

EMILY: I've got
French club so...

BRAD: Want me to pick you up?
EMILY: Sure.

CARLOS: Come on,
hurry up. Let's go.

Why don't you ever stay with
us when you're in town?

Uh, it's complicated.

If you came back, you
could work at the shop.

I don't know. I think your
dad's still pretty sore at me.

He's probably over it
now that you're a hero.

Hero.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

But... You're like
El Vengador.

What, the guy in
the Mexican wrestling mask?

(SCOFFS)

Are you comparing
me to an Evo?

They say anyone can turn out to be an Evo.
You're just born that way.

There's this website
called Hero Truther,

and they're tracking how all these
Evos are starting to disappear.

Someone's taking them,
maybe even killing them.

El Vengador's the only one taking
care of this neighborhood.

The only one the
gangbangers are scared of.

All right. I've heard
enough about El Vengador.

I've seen enough, too.
ls that yours, Jose?

Yes.

Yes. But people need to know he's not
in hiding like the rest of them.

No, people need to come to a garage without
graffiti on the wall. Now clean it up.

(ENGINE STARTING)

So the kid's got a hero, someone
to look up to. What's the problem?

El Vengador isn't everybody's hero.
The tag is bad for business.

And what's Jose need a caped crusader
to idolize when he's got Tio Carlos.

MECHANIC: Hey, Oscar!

I think she's a lost cause.
Transmission's shot.

CARLOS: I don't know, you hear that?
What?

I can hear an air leak. Just
need to replace the vacuum line,

modulator valve,

she should be good to go.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Hey, I told Pop to paint the "S"
off the word "sons" years ago.

Yeah, he figured after you came back
from the army, you'd change your mind.

Look, war hero or not,
you broke his heart.

Hope you know that.

Like it was ever gonna be 50/50, anyway.
Oh, that's it!

Walk away! You're real good
at that, "Hero-man."

See you later, okay?

I don't know, if this thing
gets to be over 75 people,

we might need to rent a tent.

Sure it's not
too late to elope?

Sorry. You've been roped
and tied, my friend.

Can you hold that thought?

What?
I'll be right back.

What is it?

(GRUNTING)

First rule of tailing somebody?
Know how to tail someone.

Who are you, what do you want?
Answers.

Answers to what?

To what really happened
on June 13th.

The hell does that have
to do with me?

You're Noah Bennet, right?

(GRUNTS)
Who do you work for?

Renautas.
Renautas?

(STUTTERING) I worked at
Renautas but not for Renautas.

And I know that you worked
for Primatech.

(PANTING)

(COUGHS)
I sold paper.

Sure. Along with bagging
and tagging

and keeping powers
under wraps.

And you know this, how?

Because Renautas secretly
owned Primatech.

Primatech is dead. It's
a hole in the ground.

Unless it's not. That's what
I'm trying to tell you.

June 13th is just the beginning. I just...
I don't know of what.

And your name is on hundreds of
memos and shredded documents.

You know something about June
13th that nobody else does.

Let me guess,
you're a Truther.

An apologist for Mohinder Suresh?
(SCOFFS) And... What do you...

Suresh had nothing to do with Odessa.
He's a patsy.

How do you not know that, man?
What did they do to you?

Get a life. Stay out of mine.

Wait, I have the manuscript.
Suresh was just about to publish.

And how the hell do you have that?
It's all in here.

How the number of Evos is higher
on the planet than ever before.

These powers, their numbers
are increasing. Escalating!

Why? (SIGHS)
ls it evolutionary?

Is it because they wanna
take over, like the media,

like the government,
like, wants us to think?

No. They're here to save us.
"Save us"?

From whatever it is
that Renautas is planning.

If that's true, then
where are they, huh?

Do you see any people with powers
around here? They are all gone!

They are hiding or dead.

Believe me. If they were here to save
us, I would know. (SIREN BLARING)

Listen to me, man.

Oh! You called the cops?

That's him! That's the guy.

On the ground, hands above your head!
Oh! You got... Man!

MALE OFFICER:
I said down. Now!

June 13th did not happen
like they say it did.

Listen to me. I have been over
that day a thousand times.

My daughter died on that day. You
don't just forget a day like that.

You do if someone doesn't
want you to remember it.

Come on. Let's go. That's what
I'm trying to tell you, man.

FEMALE OFFICER: Come on.
Somethin' big's comin'.

Something big's comin'.
Calm down.

How do you not know that, man?
MALE OFFICER: Come on, sir, move.

Are you okay?

Yeah, he's...
He's just some nut.

Come on, let's go inside.

(SPEAKING JAPAN ESE)

Ophthalmology.

(KEYBOARD CLICKING)

"Relocated from
Odessa to Dallas."

(NEWS ANCHOR READING ON TV)

MAN: (ON TV) He killed a lot
of people in Odessa last year.

We all know that. But all
I know is, he saved me.

Powers or not,
the guy's a hero in my books.

FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: Although many
believe El Vengador is in fact an Evo,

authorities are still debating
whether or not he's broken any laws.

(SIREN BLARING)

Oscar?

I don't understand.

You're El Vengador?

Since June 13th,
all the world's gone crazy.

I'm just trying to
make a difference.

So you're telling me
you have powers?

We all have our secrets.

(GRUNTING) Tell me what's going on?
What happened?

(PANTING)

(GRUNTING)
Oh, my God!

It was a trap. They
knew I was coming. Who?

Who?
It's all there.

Carlos, listen to me.

Jose really looks up to you.

He's gonna need
a strong hand, you gotta...

No. What are you even talking about?
Hey, we're gonna get you an ambulance.

(STUTTERING)
It's not just Jose.

There's others.
What others?

(STUTTERS)
Someone like you.

You can put on the mask.

You're a hero.

(PANTING)

I'm not. Everything they say
about me, the medal, all...

No... (SOBBING)

No...

(SNIFFLES)

(PANTING)

(RADIO PLAYING FAINTLY)

You all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just, um,

I mean, you know, this kid
that we're looking for.

I mean... (STUTTERS)
There's a good chance

he didn't even notice me
the other night.

And I really think we should
be focusing our efforts

on finding this
El Vengador guy.

The kid has powers, full stop.

We're gonna finish
what we came here to do.

And then we can go to Los Angeles, see
if we can find your Mexican wrestler.

Okay?

This really is unbelievable.

We do all the hard work and this son of
bitch terrorist gets all the credit.

That's the second time now.

I mean once, that's
a coincidence, but not twice.

I might die of boredom here.

I need to pee.
Have fun.

You've really moved
around a lot.

What are you, like,
from some weird nomadic tribe?

Uh, lam, as a matter of fact.
ls that a problem? (CHUCKLES)

Okay. Let's start this
interview for real. (SIGHS)

Can you scoop ice cream?

Uh,yeah?

Congratulations. You're hired!
(CHUCKLES) Wow! Uh...

All right. Thanks so much.
(BOTH LAUGH)

My mom's going to
be really excited.

Well, I will get your uniform,
and you can start tomorrow.

Okay, so I've got three sizes. And
you can try them in the men's room.

Okay. Sure.

(GASPS) I... Give me a second.
I'll be right back.

(CHUCKLES) I can't believe you
made it out alive. (SIGHS)

So what happened in there?

All I heard is
the place burned down.

What do you think happened?

(SIGHS) I think we shouldn't
talk about it in public.

JOANNE: Good idea.

(SIGHS)

Hey, you forgot to try
on your uniforms.

Well, it looks like both of you
are going for a little ride.

No need. We'll take
'em both now.

(SIGHS)

(SHUDDERING BREATH)

(PANTING)

(PANTING CONTINUES)

Hey!

Where are you going?
Where do you think?

Home. To pack and leave,
like we always do.

(SCOFFS) I am such an idiot, thinking
I could have a normal life here.

I'm just...

I'm sorry.

Those people.
Where did they go?

I don't know. I don't know
where any of it goes.

How's that for
the worst power ever?

You saved my life.

Tommy!

Tommy!

Your secret...

It's safe with me.

Why didn't El Vengador
stop them?

Maybe he tried.

What good is a hero if he doesn't
help people who need him most?

You would've.

Look, I hope you know
I'm always here for you.

I never even got
a chance to tell him.

To show him.

Show him what?

I... I kind of want
to be alone.

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry, Jose.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENING)

Can I help you?
Yes, um...

I have an odd question.

Have I ever been here before?

I don't believe so. No.

Do you mind checking
your records?

The name is Ted... Bennet.

Noah Bennet.

I'm sorry, there's nothing
here under Bennet.

Perhaps if you remembered
the doctor's name?

(CLICKS TONGUE) Yeah, you
know, I wish I did. I...

"See more clearly."

Sorry. We have no doctor
here named Seymour.

(CHUCKLES)
No.

No. That's just what's
written on the card.

You know, I really think
I have been here before.

I knew there was something
off about this place.

(GUN COCKING)

It's okay. He's a friend.

Rene?

There's a bench across
the street. Wait for me there.

Oh, my God.

No, Rene.

Why were you trying

You told me to.

What?

You made the perfect plan.

You wiped my memory.

You needed to forget.

What did I need
to forget? What?

It's coming.

It's coming.

No,Rene.
Rene,no,no!

What did I need to
forget? What is it?

Rene!

(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

(GRUNTS)

SURESH: Where does it
come from,

this fear,

this quest...

This need to hide
in a simpler past

when the future
cannot be avoided?

It's coming.

And when it does...

Everything will change.

Yet there are those
who can stop it...

Do we know how?

It's happening faster
than we thought.

I don't think
I can control it much longer.

(WATER RUNNING)

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

It's coming.

What did I need to forget?

Hey

Hey

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

You going to the party
on Saturday

She asked us
and I didn't know

High school love

TOMMY: Pretty sure
whatever I touch

just like, ceases to exist.

EMILY: I think you're being
a tad melodramatic.

Seriously, we should be able to
figure out how your power works.

You don't understand how
dangerous having a power is.

It's like being a witch
in Salem.

People hate us.

They want us dead.

How long have you had it?

Ever since I was a kid.

When I was, like, seven,

these people took me to this
place because of my power.

I remember a room
filled with toys and stuff.

No windows.

It was kind of hazy.

I think about it all the time.

Especially when I'm scared.

Not like I run around
all day terrified or anything.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Will you make this disappear?

I want to know
what it feels like.

(GASPS)

(CHUCKLES) So cool.

(CHUCKLES)

Where the hell
have you been?

I'm not exactly prison material.
NOAH: Shut up.

Sorry. Thank you
for bailing me out.

Why did you bail me out?

I went to see a friend.

To vet my memory
and your claims

about Renautas
and June 13th.

His place was a front
for some kind of an operation.

And then...

He tried to kill me.

Kill you?
What did you do?

Apparently what I forgot
what worth dying to protect.

When I went back,
the place was cleaned out.

So now you are going to tell
me everything you know.

Or what?
You'll kill me, too?

(DOOR CLOSING)

You okay?
You look worried.

(SIGHS) Worried
is kind of my default status.

For obvious reasons.

I told you.
You can trust me.

(BELL RINGING)

Crap, I have trig.
See you at lunch?

BRAD: Hey, freak.

I saw what you did
in the shed.

Yeah, that's right.
And I'm gonna turn you in.

(GUNFIRE)

Maybe that's not
such a brilliant idea.

I'm trying to get us
out of here.

Yeah, well,
your itchy trigger fingers

aren't going to do the job.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(KNOCKS)

Well, that is one superior
brand of drywall.

Just our bloody luck.

Kid was a teleporter.
Where the hell are we?

LUKE: I don't know.
Just keep a grip on it, okay?

(MECHANICAL ROARING)

Dennis had one of these.

God, he loved it.

(MECHANICAL ROARING)

Maybe we're in hell.

Is that where you
think we belong?

If we would have
let that kid go

and focused
on this El Vengador,

we wouldn't be in this
predicament now, would we?

My drive,
my itchy trigger fingers,

they keep us going.

(SCOFFS) None of this
would have happened

if you hadn't convinced me
to take Dennis...

Why don't you sit
your ass down

on those itchy trigger
fingers of yours,

and let me use my brain
to get us out of here.

How's that sound,
darling?

Have you thought

Because you know
I could make you disappear.

TOMMY: I don't want to.

All I want
is to be left alone.

I would never hurt anyone.

I just want to live my life
like any other...

And how do I know
you're not a radical?

Part of that
Suresh guy's group?

This is crazy!

You kicked my ass
yesterday at school.

I could have sent
you anywhere.

I didn't.

I'm a pacifist.

Whatever that is.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Okay.

Maybe you do
something for me,

and I'll keep my mouth shut.

Yeah. Anything.

What?

Get in.

(ENGINE STARTS)

You okay, Jose?

Yeah.

I guess it was a good funeral.

A lot of people came.

'Cause your dad
was a good man.

You hold on to that.

Jose, your mother wants you
to come back to the apartment.

Carlos, may I
speak with you?

Yeah, I should really just...
It'll only take a moment.

Oscar told me about
the rift between you two.

I hope you had
a chance to reconcile.

I don't know.
Maybe we did.

He loved you.

Had high hopes for you.

And I disappointed him.

Abandoned
the family, yeah?

Look, my grandfather ran
around in a luchador costume.

He was a clown.

And maybe I wanted to be
known for something else.

We all wear masks,
Carlos.

What matters is
what's underneath.

Maybe you come see me...
Yeah, I'm doing okay.

Oscar died because he
stood up for the underdog.

Never forget that.

I'll keep that in mind.

WOMAN: (ON TV) When I started
The Biggest Loser,

I weighed 242 pounds,
and today I'm at 177.

That is 65...

Damn remote
needs batteries.

Uh, I don't understand.

What am I doing?

You're gonna make
my stepfather disappear.

What? Why?

'Cause he wants you
to buy batteries for him?

No, because he's
a freaking monster.

TOMMY: At least
you have a father.

I don't even know
who mine is.

I'd do anything
to meet him.

Whoever he is,
I doubt he'd do this.

I'm sorry.
That's... That's awful.

I don't know
what happens when I...

He could fall into
a volcano.

The more painful,
the better.

Please don't
make me do this.

Look, this guy sits on his
ass all day and drinks.

My mom works two jobs
and he beats her, too.

I'm sorry.
I, I really am, but...

STEPFATHER: What the hell
you still doing here?

You don't want
to poke the bear.

He better be gone
when I get back.

I'll get the batteries, Pops.
Tommy's gonna hang.

(DOOR CLOSES)

WOMAN: (ON TV) My family would
always ask me to go do...

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

What the hell
are you doing?

Uh, uh...

(DOOR OPENING)

QUENTIN: I got hired at
Renautas to scan and digitize

any files
concerning Primatech.

Everything was fine until
I started reading the files.

Seemed ironic some tech giant
like Renautas, like,

buy into some tiny paper
company like Primatech.

Why'd you stop working
at Primatech?

Was it because
Renautas bought the company?

No. I left after
the summit. After...

That's right.
Your daughter, uh, I'm sorry.

I was there June 13th.
How did I survive?

I thought that
I didn't remember

because of the trauma
of the explosion, but...

(SIGHS)

Claire was there, too.

And I didn't save her.

And I have to know why.

No, I'm pretty sure Renautas was
behind the whole slaughter.

That's not what
the world believes.

You knew Mohinder Suresh.

Was he capable
of mass murder?

No. But why is he running?

Why is Renautas framing,
disappearing,

and killing evolved humans?

That's why
I came to find you.

I figured if anybody
had answers, it was you.

Do you?

What?

Odessa.

I need my files
so I can track down

an Evo named Molly Walker.

She can locate anyone
just by thinking about them.

They built a whole system
around her 10 years ago.

I've gotta get to her
before they do.

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

Uh, you know what?

We are attracting

Why don't we take this

I'll cash out, we can grab

Love to.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Not interested.

I'm watching
The Biggest Loser.

Ah, schadenfreude.
I understand the attraction.

I'm here to discuss
an opportunity

that I think you will find
pretty darned attractive.

What do you say you invite me
in and crack us each a tallboy?

CARLOS: "The Evo vigilante,
El Vengador,

"killed three police officers.

"There was an anonymous report
of a women being ra... Raped.

"Patrolman Eugene Pakowski
identified the assailant."

Eugene Pakowski.

(SPEAKING JAPAN ESE)

Let's have
another drink.

Now that is
a good idea, Zoe.

(GLASSES CLINKING)

To my good luck charm.

(CHUCKLES)

Luck.

We both know your run tonight
had nothing to do with luck.

What are you
talking about?

MOLLY: You were
either cheating,

or you have powers.

You don't seem smart enough
to have a system.

I work for the Dragon Lounge.

Ah, come on, I beat the
house, that means I'm an Evo?

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

I just needed to make
some fast dough.

Trust me,
you don't want to be here.

My money's in there.

I saw you
in the Dragon Lounge,

and so I'm betting
the money is his,

and you don't look like someone
who wants to deal with oops.

Come on.
We'll get a drink.

QUENTIN: whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait a second, wait a second,
wait a second.

I didn't hear anything
about toxins.

All right, did they
discover that the site

was contaminated
after the cleanup?

Because now this all seems
like a terrible idea.

I think it's a scarecrow
to keep people out.

You think?

Shouldn't we be certain where
deadly toxins are concerned?

Oh, Jesus.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

QUENTIN: Am I turning green?

Am I turning green, man?

Man.

It's so weird
to be back in Odessa.

Must be way
weirder for you.

Your old job
looking like this.

All your memories.
Yep. Weird.

They would have
fixed this up

if things were still
going on, right?

NOAH: Nope.
That'd be just like 'em.

Level five is where
things happened.

(NOAH GRUNTS)

(QUENTIN GRUNTS)

(QUENTIN GRUNTING)

Oh, no!

(COUGHS)

QUENTIN: What the hell
are we looking for?

I'll tell you
when I find it.

QUENTIN: Whoa.

Who the hell are you,
James Bond?

NOAH: See if you can flag anything
with Molly Walker or Renautas.

This would be the jackpot
if they found this.

Names, addresses,
contacts...

All with powers.

You said your daughter
died here at the summit.

That's right.

You might need
to rethink that.

I don't remember this.

I remember arriving
the morning of June 13th.

And after that...

I just knew what the rest
of the world knew.

And I just assumed Claire had
died here like everybody else.

And if she didn't die here,
then where did she die?

And how did she die?

And why didn't you know?

QUENTIN: Are they doing
something else with the Evos?

Well, if you can't tell me,
who's going to tell me?

What? What?

Why are you so
interested in her?

In me? Huh?

Little twerp like you
should be holed up

in your mother's basement
trolling conspiracy boards.

I was just trying to help.

Something terrible's
gonna happen.

(GRUNTS)

My sister.

They took my sister
and I couldn't stop them.

(PANTS)

Phoebe Frady.

I'm just trying to find her.

Is this about revenge?

Did you think I did it?

Was it you?

Her power was umbrakinesis.

She could
manipulate darkness.

No.

She wasn't one of mine.

And I'm sorry you lost her.

I have reason to believe

that Phoebe did not die on June
13th with the rest of them.

The things that
I've found, they, uh...

They don't add up.

Claire and I had a fight

right after she

came out.

I haven't spoken to her
in over four years.

I wanted to make
things right.

I would have done
anything to save her.

QUENTIN: Maybe there's
no answer for me here,

but I'd be happy
to help you find out

what happened
to your daughter.

It's the least I can do.

We gotta be honest
with each other.

No more secrets.

No more omissions.

Deal?

What happens when we've killed
every last one of them?

I don't know.
Hang up our guns?

Why is there
no light switch?

Sometimes I think
that you hate me, Luke.

You're my wife, Joanne.
I don't hate you.

I know I can be a...

A taskmaster.

Why is there
no light switch?

But I just...

I feel in my bones that
what we're doing is right.

And I think that the world
is starting to recognize it.

You believe that,
don't you?

I don't know.
Listen,

Dennis was afraid
of the dark.

A lot of kids are
afraid of the dark.

Monsters under the bed,
in the closets,

so they keep the lights on, but
why no light switch at all?

Huh?

What happens if this
room goes dark?

Maybe we see something
that we're not supposed to.

I know I can be

a bloodthirsty cur,

but I just can't bear
to half-ass it.

Come here.
What?

Come here.
Stand right there.

You know what this means for us?
It's like we're free.

Is your stepfather...
Gone, gone, gone.

I'll never mess
with you again.

I'll never let anyone
mess with you.

Your secret's safe,
man, forever.

I totally got your back.

You don't know who
you're dealing with!

I'm Taylor.

Zoe.

Thanks for everything.

You're welcome.

Here's to having a life
way more exciting than mine.

(CHUCKLES)
You wouldn't like it.

I've got a lot of serious
people looking for me.

The money in his room,
that's all I had.

And I needed to disappear.

I can write you
a check.

Seriously?

I have way more
money than I need.

I know what it feels like
to want to disappear.

Must be nice,
not worrying about money.

(CHUCKLES)

Unless you earn it,

money always comes
with strings attached.

Trust fund baby?

No shame in that.

I'd trade my hustle
for it in a heartbeat.

I wish I had the balls

to live without
a safety net like you.

Hmm.

(CHURCH BELL TOLLING)

I'm only on my knees
'cause there's nowhere to sit.

I'm more concerned
with your faith in yourself

than your faith in God.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever
you were trying to tell me

at Oscar's funeral,

did it have something
to do with this?

Yes.

What was Oscar up to?

He had a secret room
in the garage.

A chart with photos
of cops and...

After June 13th,

your brother started an underground
railroad for evolved humans,

to help others like him
get to a safe place in Canada.

Before Oscar died,
he said he was set up.

Oscar believed
there was a shadow unit

inside the
police department

set up to compromise
the railroad.

I have a name.

Captain James Dearing.

Carlos, I have
a favor to ask.

I have to put two Evos,
good people,

on a boat to Vancouver.

Their journey starts from
your brother's secret room.

Tonight.

Why do you care
so much about them?

My only calling
is to minister

to the poor, troubled,
and persecuted,

and...

One more thing.

I don't have a right
to be weirded out

by you and Brad
being bros, but I am.

Yeah, me too.

He punched me
the other day,

and now he's
my best friend.

The whole thing's
so crazy.

I mean, Brad thinks you
made his stepdad disappear,

but you swear
you didn't.

Yeah, on my
mother's eyes.

You won't say
anything, right?

Tommy.

TOMMY:
There's something else.

You can't tell anyone.

I've been getting these
texts from someone

who I think is trying
to protect me.

From what?
I don't know.

But whoever it is they are
the reason I didn't die

with Coach Lewis
in that church fire.

When I touched
the flower this morning,

I was thinking about
the first time I saw you.

TOMMY: I ordered
maple walnut.

That's it!

Things go to whatever place you're
thinking about when you touch them.

Do you remember
what you were thinking about

when you made
those two creeps disappear?

I was, uh,

I was afraid I was
being kidnapped again,

so I was thinking about the place
they took me when I was a kid.

(CRASHING)

Observation windows.

place is this?

What the hell

Monetize them to do what?

Save the world.

HOW will they find...

Do they have Molly Walker?

Epic still launches tomorrow.

That can't happen
without her.

She's the only one who could locate...
ls she in Midian?

Stevens?

Careful.

Watch your step.

This is Sylvia
and Damon.

They had to leave their home in
Las Vegas because of her power.

This tunnel leads
to the harbor.

There's a boat there waiting
to take you to Vancouver.

SYLVIA: Small token
of gratitude.

It's 24 karat.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

This is all of them.

A whole list
of all the freaks.

Names, addresses.

(LAUGHS)

I don't believe it.

Whose car is this?

Who cares?

What happened?

Where's my car?

A couple.

They shot me,
and then they took it.

QUENTIN:
What went on in there?

Renautas is using powers
to create a new technology.

They launch a product tomorrow
called Epic in Midian.

And Molly Walker's
power drives it.

You were right.
Thanks.

I'll find something
to sew you up.

Like what?
Like a doctor?

Some surgical equipment?

You're gonna be fine.

We've got to get
to Midian and save Molly.

I, uh, I think
I got a concussion

on top of what she did.

TAYLOR: Good Samaritans,
what are you gonna do?

You drugged me,
you bitch.
