Heroes Reborn (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 12 - Company Woman - full transcript

NOAH: Previously on
Heroes Reborn...

This is the first city
of the future, Tommy.

I call it Gateway.

Hiro Nakamura created a time bridge
between the present and the future.

If you don't reopen the bridge,
our species goes extinct.

Welcome aboard.

The machine will
amplify your power,

allowing you
to send anyone

who's wearing one of these
to the future in an instant.

(GRUNTS)

You have been
fed a pack of lies



by the head of Renautas,
Erica Kravid.

MATT: Either your mother
lives up to her promises,

or you're gonna die here
just like everybody else.

Your next target.
She has a new protector.

My brother and I
need to be in Odessa.

Whatever you have to
do, whatever it takes,

I'm gonna be right
there with you, okay?

(GRUNTS)

Whoa!
Drop the gun.

WOMAN: What we're talking
about here is a superflare,

a coronal mass ejection.
(MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE)

NEWSCASTER ON RADIO: People
are urged to take shelter

and stay indoors at all times.

NEWS REPORTER ON RADIO: Thousands
are evacuating, Doctor.



Air traffic has been grounded.

People are panicking,

not just because of the
extreme weather conditions,

but because of
this terrorist video.

But you're telling me this video
isn't just alarmist propaganda.

DOCTOR: No, it's definitely
not just propaganda.

The world is facing
something unprecedented.

Something violent
and catastrophic.

NEWS REPORTER: And yet,
why wasn't this made public?

DOCTOR: I can't answer that.

This information is
just now coming to light.

NEWS REPORTER: What about the
accusations that Evos are to blame?

DOCTOR: Hero Truther has
released information that

vindicates Evos and
implicates Renautas.

NEWS REPORTER: Hero Truther?
They have no credibility.

DOCTOR: We have to
face reality.

The first of two
enormous solar flares

will hit North
America tomorrow

at the exact moment the powerful
magnetic force of our poles reverse.

NEWS REPORTER: Which means?

DOCTOR: Billions of
people will perish.

NEWS REPORTER: Billions?

DOCTOR: If not all of us.

And these solar
storms will impact us

between 12 and
15 hours from now,

starting as a series
of electromagnetic disruptions

and building to something
far more sinister

once the full brunt
of the storm hits.

NEWS REPORTER: So what should people
do to protect themselves, to survive?

DOCTOR: Get to the nearest
government evacuation shelter,

and Pray-

Tommy! (PANTING)

Tommy,
you saw the video.

You can't tell me
you still trust her.

The H.E.L.E. is coming,

no matter what they
say about Erica on TV.

Well, then we need to be
looking for your sister.

Where? I don't even
really know her.

We have to save as
many people as possible

before this thing hits.

Wait. Where's your
Gateway watch?

I haven't gotten
it yet.

Emily, you have to, please.
Just in case, okay?

See you soon.

EMILY: Tommy!

SECURITY: Ma'am,
this is a restricted area.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Good evening, Tommy.

You saw
the broadcast.

Is it true?

Does it matter?

Let's just get this
over with.

(BEEPS)

Ms. Kravid, you're
needed upstairs.

I'll be right there.

COMPUTER VOICE ON PA:
Welcome, Gateway pioneers.

Please proceed to
the nearest gate station.

(WOMAN SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE
OVER SPEAKERS)

(DEVICE BEEPS)

REN: Excuse me...
What... Where...

SECURITY: Sir,
over here, please.

What's your name?

Uh... Ren Shimosawa?

(TYPING)
(BEEPING)

(BEEPS)

Thank you,
Mr. Shimosawa.

You'll need to register in
order to get your watch.

(ELECTRONIC ZAP)
(YELPS)

That's your ID chip.
Welcome to Gateway.

(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)

NEWS REPORTER: You're listening to KXKB
News radio, with the most current updates

on the geomagnetic solar storm
terrifying the nation.

The Texas governor has
declared a state of emergency.

Area residents are being evacuated
to Union Wells High School.

Union Wells? That's where
Claire Bennet went.

If there's
an evacuation,

why are they
stopping people?

Must be looking
for something.

Or someone.

(PHOEBE LAUGHS)

Public enemy number one.

You are never
getting into Gateway.

NEWS REPORTER: Exercise extreme caution
while driving- Magnetic anomalies.

Maybe instead of
finding Tommy,

we get his attention
and have him find us.

Okay.

But how?

We make a little news.

First we get rid of
our excess baggage.

(SCOFFS)

NEWS REPORTER: Stay tuned for
more updates as we receive them.

ERICA: I realize that
deploying the National Guard

around Gateway
is no small favor.

Governor, I have
neither the time

nor the patience
to explain myself

to somebody who's still so
concerned with public opinion.

So hang up your phone, strap on your
watch and let me save the world.

(DOOR BANGS)

(WHIMPERING)

Hello, Erica.
Did you miss me?

How can I
help you, Matthew?

Get over there.

You made
some promises

concerning my
family's future.

But instead, you treated my
family like they're expendable.

Used them as leverage.

Well, you know what?

I can do the same
to yours.

Matt, wait.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(LAUGHS)

How's that feel,
Erica,huh?

How's that feel,
Erica?

(GASPING) Mom.

Shall we talk about
family now, Erica?

Taylor has nothing
to do with this.

Oh, really?

While I was doing
your bidding,

jumping at your
every move,

you were holding my
family over my head.

I want three one-way tickets
to your utopian future.

My wife, my son and me.
That was our deal.

Our deal was based on you
fulfilling certain obligations.

I lived up to my
end of the bargain.

I ravaged every
mind that you sent me!

Sunstone ended
in disaster.

Mom, give him
what he wants.

You hear that?

I mean, it would be such a shame
for you to lose your daughter

and your grandchild.

MATT: (SIGHS) Oops.

Uh, Taylor didn't
mention that yet, huh?

Travel safely.

Adios.

Oh, you can drop
the gun now.

(GASPING AND SOBBING)

NEWS REPORTER:
With less than 10 hours

until the solar flare hits,

we're already
feeling its effects.

Power outages in Abilene

and dangerous cloud-to-ground
lightning strikes...

Stay here.

NEWS REPORTER: ...are being
reported in Midland.

(DOOR-AJAR SIGNAL CHIMES)

LUKE: Get out. Now.

You're not
that guy anymore.

Malina,
wait in the car.

Move now. Go.

(ELECTRONIC WARBLING)

COMPUTER VOICE:
Gateway transfer complete.

Thank you, Tommy. Advanced
Team Q transfer complete.

RICHARD: You're telling me this
is the best that you can do.

(STUTTERS)
We've had a week.

It's just not good
enough, I'm sorry.

TECH: It'll have to work.

We are really cutting it
close with these numbers.

Things moved more quickly
than we anticipated.

As long as we get 12,000
people to the other side.

Anything less, we won't have
enough genetic diversity

to guarantee
a healthy population.

We're supposed to save as
many people as we can.

What are you
talking about?

What's gonna happen to everyone else?
(SIGHS)

You son of a...

Let me guess.

Francis.

(SNIFFLES)

How does it feel

knowing your grandchilds
father is one of them?

Not as unfamiliar
as you'd think.

(COUGHING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I'm sorry, Erica.

I gave him something
for his pain,

but there's not much more
I can do for your father,

medically speaking.
(FLY BUZZING)

(BUZZING STOPS)

I have certain
abilities

beyond medicinal.

(MYSTICAL CHIMING)

(FLY BUZZING)

(GASPS) What?

I can cure your
daddy, Erica.

(CHUCKLES)

But you must promise to keep
it a secret just between us.

Okay.
Hmm.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

(WHISPERING) It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.

(SHUSHING)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Yes.

(DOOR LATCH CLICKS)

The boy's gone. He got
spooked and vanished.

Find his mother, and you'll find him.
She's the only one he trusts.

I'll be right down. Taylor,
we need to table this.

You're not walking away from me.
Taylor, not now!

Not this time. Stop!
(GLASS SHATTERING)

(GASPS)

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

(CHUCKLES) I'm an Evo.

Don't be ridiculous.
I've had you tested.

That power doesn't
come from you.

Guess the baby
takes after its father.

(GASPS)
I wanna see Francis.

Now is not a good time.

(SCOFFS) It's never been
a good time, Mother.

I've spent an entire
life on your back burner.

(GUN COCKS)

Well, not anymore.

We're not going
to Primatech, are we?

I'd be impressed if I actually
thought you'd use that gun on us.

Well, obviously, you don't
know me too well, now do you?

I don't think it's a good idea
to provoke him right now.

He had a chance to kill us,
and he didn't take it.

There's no way he's pulling
that trigger now. Right, Luke?

Phoebe, stop!
Just stop it!

God, you are never
gonna get it, are you?

QUENTIN: Luke, don't do it!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Damn it!

(PANTING)

(GROANS)

(PANTING)

Ah!

(PANTING)

Ah!

Luke!

If you do this, you're
with us till the end.

There's no going
back to your sister.

That's not my sister.

COMPUTER VOICE ON PA:
Welcome, Gateway pioneers.

Please proceed to check-in,

where a team leader will complete
your registration process.

You'll receive an orientation
packet and smart watch,

which will give you access to your
designated housing assignment.

May I help you?

(SCANNER BEEPS)

Ah. It'll just be a minute, Mr.
Shimosawa.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hello.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You don't look fine.

I think someone I care about is
about to make a terrible mistake.

WOMAN: Emily Duval?

Your watch.

Thanks.

(STAMMERS) Uh,
what kind of mistake?

He trusts her.

Erica Kravid?

This might
sound crazy,

but I am looking for the
Master of Time and Space

to help me find my
friend in the future.

Master of
Time and Space?

Yes.

Do you know him?

Dude, I'm dating him.

(SIGHING)

Let's go find him.

Mom?

(SILENCE)

(MYSTICAL SHRIEK)
(GASPS)

Oh, Tommy! I was wondering when you
were gonna figure that out again.

It's been one
hell of a week.

Please tell me you're not helping Erica.
You cannot trust her.

I know. She has lied to
me about so many things.

But not everything.

You've gotta see
this to believe it.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Where are we?

You mean when.

This is...
The future.

No matter how many times I come
here, it always looks like this.

Which means the
prophecy was wrong.

We don't stop
the H.E.L.E.

This is only
one timeline.

Your father said there are
many possible futures.

What if they're
all wrong?

Look, if I do what Erica wants,
I can save this many people.

I know that.

No matter what,
humanity survives.

Your great-grandmother
had a vision.

Well, this time
her vision was wrong.

Tommy, you have trained
most of your life for this.

What good does that do me
if I don't remember any of it?

Whether you
remember this or not,

your father used to say that he
was amazed by your abilities.

He said you were capable of
far more than he ever was.

What does that
even mean, "more"?

I don't know.

But when the time comes,
you'll know what to do.

Have faith in yourself.

I have faith in you.

And so did your father.

This is the place that Malina
and I are supposed to meet.

Come on. You'll be safe here
if you stay out of sight.

(THUNDER CRASHES)

All right, keep going up.
I gotta go find her.

Where are you
gonna wok'?

The last place
anyone saw her.

Tommy,

I love you.

Love you too.

TAYLOR: Your big plan
to rid the world of Evos.

And now your grandchild
is everything that you hate.

How does that feel?

Maybe you're
beyond caring.

You have no idea.

No idea what I've
sacrificed to raise you.

To provide you with a life that
I could only have dreamt about.

By ruining the lives
of so many others.

For you, Taylor.

I did it
all for you.

This has never
been about me.

It's always been
about your ego,

your obsessive
need for control.

(SCOFFS)

You're right.

You're absolutely
right.

I'm just a monster who's never
thought about anybody but herself.

(RETCHING)

Erica.

You all right?
(SIGHS)

Yeah. Yeah.

(ERICA SIGHS HEAVILY)

You tell
the father yet?

No, no.

I'm not sure I'm gonna. It's not
like he's a good guy or anything.

You weren't...

He didn't...

No! No, no, nothing
like that, Daddy.

(TOILET FLUSHES)

You decide what
you're gonna do?

I just want you to
know that the decision,

whatever you decide,

I've got your
back,okay?

Enough stalling.

I wanna see
Francis. Now.

(GASPING)

You! Francis
is dead, isn't he?

He's been dead
this whole time.

Why do you
hate me so much?

Taylor, please.

Is it something
I did?

Was I that much of
a disappointment to you?

Answer me!

Tell me
the truth for once.

I was so worried. I didn't
know who else to call.

(INHALES SHARPLY)

Please, Doctor.

(YOUNG TAYLOR COUGHING)

(YOUNG TAYLOR RASPING)

She's been
coughing up blood.

Hmm, likely a lung disease from
all the coal dust in the air.

Her condition
looks to be fairly advanced.

Please, tell me
you can help her.

I can.

(YOUNG TAYLOR WHIMPERING)
(SIGHING)

(YOUNG TAYLOR COUGHING)

(RASPING)

(ERICA EXHALES)

(GASPS)
(YOUNG TAYLOR (assume)

YOUNG TAYLOR: Mommy.

Honey.

Hey.

That girl looks
an awful lot like me.

Her abilities could manifest
when she gets older.

Could be a healer like me,
could be something more,

something different, something
interesting and wonderful.

She'll live with me.
That'll be the better thing.

What are you
talking about?

You don't
have a choice.

(GRUNTS)

(SOBS)

Go. Go, now!

You are and
always have been

the greatest thing
that's ever happened to me.

That's the truth.

(SHAKY BREATHING)

So, what happens now?

We start again.

You and me

and the world.

Perfect future.

It's only possible
if billions of people die.

Life is full of
impossible choices.

I've made mine.

I am prepared
to live with them.

It's time for you
to make yours.

Come with me.

You and your baby.

My grandchild.
(CHUCKLES)

Let's start over
again together.

Thank you, Mother.

As usual, you're
being very generous,

but I'd rather die

than go on living in an
empty world with you.

(SOBBING)

Hey, what is it?

My mom.

She looks so young.

So, this is the infamous
cheerleader, huh?

Come on, let's go find your brother.
I owe him an apology.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

All right, Malina,
take off your hood.

Someone might recognize me.
Exactly.

You're gonna
get her killed.

Says the guy who tried
to kill her yesterday.

Look, I told you.

We need to get
Tommy's attention,

and the best way to do that is
with that news crew right there.

What if Erica Kravid
sees it too?

She probably will.

But fortunately, Tommy will
get here faster, right?

Come on.

You need to do it front of something
recognizable, like that sign.

So, just get in the middle
of the circle there.

You got this.

It's okay.
Do your thing.

(CROWD MURMURING EXCITEDLY)

(CROWD SHOUTING)

NEWS READER: Evacuations
are underway in 11 states

across the southern
part of the country,

from Arizona to Louisiana.

The Anti-Evo sentiment
has continued to grow,

with many blaming evolved humans
for the impending disaster.

Hello?

MALINA ON TV: Tommy,
I know you're out there.

And I really hope
you get this message.

My God, it's her. Malina. MALINA:
I'm at Union Wells High School

in Odessa, Texas.

The same place
she went to school.

Please, Tommy, hurry.

Her brother has to see this.
It's our only hope.

Okay, I can restore
the transmission,

send it out on a loop to
anything that receives a signal.

(ELECTRONIC ZAPPING)

Tommy, I know
you're out there.

And I really hope
you get this message.

I'm at Union Wells High School
in Odessa, Texas.

The same place
she went to school.

Please, Tommy, hurry.

What happened?

I went to Missouri,

the place where
Malina saved

all of those people, looking
for clues like an idiot.

You are not
an idiot, Tommy.

I need to go
back in time,

find Malina when she
was actually there.

No, your dad was
very clear.

Tampering with time
is a very dangerous game.

No, I don't care. It's the only
way we can save the world.

MALINA OVER PHONE:
I'm at Union VVelIs High
School in Odessa, Texas.

The same place
she went to school.

No, it's not.

Tommy, I know
you're out there.

And I really hope
you get this message.

I'm at Union Wells High School
in Odessa, Texas.

The same place
she went to school.

Otomo patched up
his prison in Evernow,

and check out what
was just recorded

in a high school
three miles from here.

Tommy, I know
you're out there.

RICHARD: I called
your new hit woman

and sent the team
in to back her up.

MALINA: I'm at Union Wells
High School in Odessa, Texas.

That's all very good.

But if Tommy
has seen this,

we need to send Otomo.

I already did.

MAN ON PA: Follow the posted
signs to the gymnasium.

You think it worked?

Well, someone
must have watched.

Yeah, that's what
I'm worried about.

(DOORS CLANKING)

MAN ON PA: Do not be
alarmed if we lose power.

Stay where you are
and wait for instructions.

Please remain calm
and heed all directions

given by the representatives
and volunteers.

MALINA: Are you okay?

We have to move.
Now.

(HACHIRO SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)

Hey.

(CROWD MURMURING)

Tommy?

(CROWD SHOUTING)

Get down!
(CROWD SCREAMING)

(GUNSHOT)

Joanne,no!

Malina, stay down!

(GUNSHOT)
Ahh!

(CROWD CLAMORING)

No! Jo, don't.

Do not do this.

CARLOS: Something's wrong.
Come on!

FARAH: I'm going in.
Stay here.

I'm going in
after her.

Listen to me, she's
not the one to blame.

This is not how
we avenge our son.

JOANNE: Maybe not.

But this is all
I've got.

LUKE: Put down the gun, Jo.

Joanne,no!

(GUNSHOTS)

(GRUNTS)

(ZAPPING)

(GASPS)

Malina? Malina?

Ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh!

CARLOS: No!

(GROANING)

No, no, no, please.

You're gonna be okay.

You have to
protect her.

LUKE: Don't worry.
I'll take care of Malina.

You need to get her
to a hospital right now.

(PANTING)

This place,
it looks familiar.

Have you been
here before?

It's Evernow.
Level 10.

What?

The layout, it's the same
as the video game I play.

It looks exactly
like this.

(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)

Come, this way.

If I am right, this elevator
will take us to the core.

It is the center
of everything.

Well then, that's where
we'll find Tommy.

It's not working.

(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)

(ELEVATOR CHIMES)

MATT: Janice, uh,
look, it's me. Um...

I know I have not
been the best husband,

and/or the best father
to Matty Junior,

but I have to tell ya, there is stuff
happening, Janice, and I need to see you.

I have found a way to save us all
and still be the hero that...

(ELECTRONIC ZAPPING)
(TIRES SCREECHING)

(MATT GROANING)

NEWSCASTER ON RADIO: Extreme
solar radiation expected.

Please remain
indoors at all times.

People are urged to take
shelter in designated areas.

(MATT GROANING)

Oh, oh.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Ah!

This can't be happening.

(SHOUTING) No!

Help me!

Somebody!

Anybody, help! Help!

Anybody hear me?

(SOBBING)

I've done everything
you've asked.

It's time for you to honor
your side of our arrangement.

Just as soon as the transfer is
complete and we're back online.

I've done such terrible things
to keep my daughter alive.

Never be ashamed of the scars
we bear for our children.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Whatever you're selling,
I'm not buying.

The company I work for,

it's come to our attention
you have a problem.

A certain doctor?

Well, well.

It looks like you're
the one who's helped us.

Uh, but don't worry.

I can make sure you forget this
entire unfortunate incident.

And you can...

You can make people
forget things?

I don't wanna
forget. Ever.

But I need you
to help my daughter.

Is everything
in working order?

Now that we have we've imprisoned
the Master of Time and Space,

we are ready to
put him online.

What does
he mean "imprison"?

What does he mean
by "online"?

(GRUNTS)

Otomo-san! No!

(EMILY PANTING)

RICHARD: I'm ready.

It's time.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

TOMMY: (ECHOING) Help!

Help me!

Help me, please!

Help me! Somebody help me!

I have to save her!
