NOAH: Previously on
Heroes Reborn...

ANGELA: Lately I have been
plagued with dreams...

Fire raining down,

and the twins saving the world
under a clock tower in Odessa.

ANNE: What are you doing?
HIRO: Saying goodbye.

This is your
important destiny, my son.

Your father used to say that you were
capable of far more than he ever was.

ERICA: Tommy,
I have a solution.

A way to start again
after the H.E.L.E.

I call it Gateway.

Who are you?
I was Katana Girl.



We were part of something
special, weren't we?

Things change, Luke.

LUKE: I'll take care of Malina. You need
to get her to a hospital right now.

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

we are ready to
put him online.

(GRUNTS)

Otomo-san! No!
(EMILY PANTING)

It's time.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

TOMMY: (ECHOING) Help!

Help! Help!

Please! (GRUNTING)

JOSE: Where is everyone?

Evacuated.



Everyone's been moved
to the shelters.

JOSE: What are you gonna do?

I did some medevac
training in the army.

JOSE: There's not even
electricity.

(ELECTRICITY ZAPPING)

There is now.

I don't understand.
Where's Tommy?

He's not here.

They trapped him
in Evernow.

We need to find Miko
more than ever.

She's the only one who can go
into the game and free Tommy.

Hello!

(ECHOING) Got to go back, save
my sister, save the world.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Where am I?

We are ready to link
into the processor.

Start the presentation.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

By now,

you all know the dire
circumstances our planet faces.

The first of two very powerful solar
flares is set to arrive momentarily.

For those who fear
this is the end,

I assure you
it is anything but.

In fact, for those of us
here in Gateway,

this is just the beginning.

Each and every one of you
has been handpicked.

As promised
from the beginning,

an invitation to Gateway is indeed
an invitation to the future.

All of you are now pioneers.

The first generation of what will
become a new and improved world.

(SCREAMING)

COMPUTER: Greetings, Tommy.

Power core active.
Quantum sync...

ERICA: The devices you are wearing
on your wrists are now active,

signifying the launch
of what we are calling

(DEVICES BEEPING)

"Project Reborn."

(MACHINERY WHIRRING)

In less than 30 seconds,
the real work begins.

For those among us who have
made personal sacrifices,

we extend our
collective gratitude.

COMPUTER:
Transfer sequence commencing.

ERICA: Your bravery, your skills,
and your shared commitment

are the commodities
upon which we will build

a lasting future for
generations to come.

COMPUTER: Gateway portal open.

Gateway portal is stable.

ERICA: On behalf of
everyone at Renautas...

COMPUTER:
Gateway transfer in 10...

ERICA: ...I thank you
for your sacrifice.

COMPUTER:
...eight, seven, six, five...

(WHIMPERING)

...four, three, two, one.

Maximum portal
tolerance exceeded.

And I welcome you to
our brave new world.

way to find out.

Welcome to the future.

ANNOUNCER:
Welcome to the new Gateway.

This device acts not
only as a timepiece,

but contains all personal
information you will need

to navigate Gateway
safely and efficiently.

(DOOR WHOOSHES)

All right, you got it?

That must be
where they took Otomo.

Past here.

Do you think
Miko's in there, too?

(GASPS) The door!

Safe!

(CRUNCHING)

Ah!

Computer!

Ren, let it go.

Your key.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

You found her.

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Hey!

Hello? Hello?

No, wait!

Wait! Come back!

(GRUNTS)

I was kind of hoping Bennet
would end up here, too.

There's no one even
guarding the place.

LUKE: There's no one
left to guard.

Hey, guys, guys.
Take a look at that.

It's the first
solar flare.

We need to take cover.

There, come on.

Come on, come on.
Let's go!

No, I didn't come all
this way just to hide.

Let's have this
discussion inside!

I have to do something!

If that
solar flare hits,

there won't be much of a world
left when Tommy gets back.

The prophecy, your prophecy...
It is not time yet.

I have to do something. This
is not your fate. It's mine.

I cannot be forgiven for
the things that I've done,

but you saved my life,
and I have got to believe

that there's
a reason for that.

Oh, Luke, please...

Don't.

Quentin,
no matter what happens,

you keep her in here and make sure
she gets to that clock tower.

What about you, man?

What about you?
What are you doing? Hey!

No,no,no!
You're being crazy, man!

Luke!

(WHOOSHING)

MALINA: Luke!

(INAUDIBLE)

(SIZZLING)

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

I got it, the bullet.

Nice trick.

Told you
I could find it.

(FARAH GASPS)

There we go. (LAUGHS)

There we go.

(PANTING)

Malina?

She's okay.

They headed to Gateway.

(DOOR OPENS)

MAN: Hello?

We need some help.

There was a pileup on I-20.
We've got more injured coming.

Where is everyone?

They're all gone.

Please... My daughter.

Looks like
we're staying here.

Please, wait.

Come back, please.

You got to go back now.

You got to go back.
You need to remember.

Who are you?

I'm you.

Me?

What? How is that possible?

We can be in
two places at once.

How long have you...
We been in here?

Time has no meaning here,
only memories.

Memories?

They trick us into perceiving
time as a straight line,

with a past and a future, but
really, time... Time is a circle.

And memories
are timeless.

Every moment of our life,
it exists in this place.

Every memory.

My memories were erased.

Not in here.

But you got to think deep,
or you, our sister,

everyone in the world
is gonna die.

And we'll be stuck
in this loop forever.

Focus on a moment.

Our childhood,
where we came from.

I don't know.
I can't remember.

You already have.

Mom, what's wrong?

Oh, Nathan, come here.

The world's about to change.

REPORTER: (ON TV) Tonight
in New York's Central Park,

the shocking moment
caught on tape

as a young woman
jumps from a Ferris wheel

and miraculously heals
in front of rolling cameras.

(CROWD SCREAMING)

My name is Claire Bennet.
This is attempt number...

(CHUCKLES)

I guess I've
kind of lost count.

REPORTER:
Rapid cellular regeneration,

with some experts calling this a
leap forward in human evolution.

And she may not be alone.

TOMMY: Who is she?

She's your mother.

TOMMY: I don't understand.

ANNE: I know, baby.

It's time you
knew the truth.

TOMMY: Do you ever get the feeling you
were meant to do something extraordinary?

ANNE: The comic book you
love--- TOMMY: 9th Wonders?

ANNE: You have more in common with your
favorite character than you think.

TOMMY: Hiro Nakamura?

EMILY: You are different, Tommy.
You'll always be different.

The boy is like his uncle
and his great-grandfather.

He can absorb powers.

My name's Hiro Nakamura, former
Master of Time and Space.

(SPEAKING JAPAN ESE)

I love you. Be brave.

You're the best son
a dad could ever have.

TOMMY: I'm ready.

I'm ready to save the world.

(RUMBLING)
What is that?

Satellite debris
from the first flare.

We're running out of time. We'd
better get you to the clock tower.

(DOOR OPENS)

MALINA: My grandmother's vision
was of me under the clock tower,

not hiding inside it.

QUENTIN: Malina, the debris will kill you.
You can wait it out in here.

It's a pretty
solid structure.

(RUMBLING)

Phoebe?

(GRUNTING)

Phoebe,no!Phoebe,no!

Quentin? Quentin?

No! No! Damn it!

(WHIMPERING)

Quentin!

Phoebe!

(YELLING)

Phoebe!

Let go of me!
QUENTIN: Phoebe!

(GRUNTING)

Phoebe!

(GRUNTING)

Let me go!

Phoebe! Stop it!
Phoebe, it's over.

Why are you helping her?
Erica's coming back.

No, she's not.

She was never taking us back with her.
Okay? She used us.

She used you to
get what she wanted.

No. No, that's not true.

Erica made you
into a monster.

She made you into
a monster, Phoebe.

And I let it happen. And I'm
sorry, but we were wrong.

(RUMBLING)
(GLASS SHATTERS)

You're lying!

(SCREAMS)

This isn't you,
Phoebe!

Just come with me.
We can fix this.

There's only one
thing left to fix.

(RUMBLING)

(SCREAMING)

Don't do this!

(GUN CLICKING)

No! Phoebe!

(SCREAMS)

Oh, no, no!

I don't understand.

Why doesn't she
know you?

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

COMPUTER:
Evo regeneration grid online.

Power station is
operational again.

I found the source
of the problem.

Sedative apparatus engaged.

(GROANING)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(GRUNTS)

(SWORD CLATTERS)

(SPEAKING JAPAN ESE)

(CHUCKLES)

So, my boyfriend's stuck
inside your video game.

Erica Kravid forced me to put him
into a prison of my own design.

Now someone must enter
the game and free him.

Someone who knows Evernow
as well as its maker.

I'm just a gamer.

You've spent hundreds
of hours in Evernow,

the best player
I've ever seen,

and most importantly,

you have the heart
of a warrior.

That's why I chose you.

Now...

(FLARE WHOOSHING)

It's time.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

(YELLS)

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

(BOTH EXCLAIM)

(BOTH YELL)

(ALL GRUNTING)

(FLOOR CRACKING)
(YELLS)

(GROANS)

(YELLING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

TOMMY: 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.

(TOY ROARING)

No windows.

It's kind of hazy.

No. No, I don't want
to see this one!

(DOOR OPENS)

Nathan?

I'd like you to meet
Malina, your sister.

Do you two ever
get the feeling

you were meant to do
something extraordinary?

I know, because I have dreamt about
you since before you were born.

Now that your abilities
have matured,

we need to test
the symbiotic bond you share.

Don't be frightened.

I promise you both you won't
remember any of this.

Shouldn't Noah be
hereto see this?

His plan depended on him
not knowing any of this.

We stick to that.

Now take each other's hands.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS)

(GASPING)

Stop!

This again?

I know what to do!
You've got to go back.

Who are you?

I'm you.

Me? What?
How is that possible?

We can be in two
places at once.

(MIKO SPEAKING JAPANESE)

No, wait.
I don't understand.

(SPEAKING JAPAN ESE)

(MIKO GRUNTS)

(MIKO SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(BLADES CLASHING)

(BANGING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(SCREAMS)

(GRUNTS)

(CRACKLING)

Whoa.

(GUNS COCKING)

Hello, Tommy.

(GRUNTING)

Go back. Go.

ERICA: Did you really think you
could escape without me knowing?

It's over, Tommy.

My name is Nathan.

And you can't stop someone
who can stop time.

Time travel,
it's a bitch.

(CHUCKLING)

The future
we're standing in

exists only because
the H.E.L.E. happened.

The moment you go back
and stop it, all of this,

all of us
will cease to exist.

So which world are
you going to choose?

The one with your sister,

or the one with your
girlfriend and your mother

and the thousands of innocent
people that you brought here?

(WHIMPERS)

Let me make it
easier for you.

Time's running out, and one
of these worlds has to die.

You can't save both.
You can't be in...

Two places at once.

Even Hiro Nakamura
couldn't do that.

I can.

Hiro Nakamura prepared me
my entire life for this.

And now I've had an eternity
in Evernow to practice,

thanks to you.

No.

That's impossible!

(MALINA SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

It's about time.

It's too strong!

Come on.

You can share
my power.

Come on. Come on!
(GRUNTING)

(BOTH GRUNT)

I don't understand.

It's not working.

(BOTH GROANING)

What's happening to us?

It wasn't supposed
to be like this.

Something's wrong.

Let go! Let go!
I can't!

Let go!

(YELLS)

(SCREAMING)

TOMMY: I've got to go back.

(YELLS)

Now,

take each other's hands.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)
(BOTH SCREAMING)

They're going to die!

Stop them!

(YELLING)

It's okay.
You're safe now.

No!

He's dead.
It didn't work.

They will die if
they come together.

They need a conduit.

Someone between them willing
to sacrifice themselves.

(WHOOSHING)

Now that your
abilities have matured,

we need to test the
symbiotic bond you share.

Take each other's hands.

(BOTH SCREAMING)

They are dying!

Stop them!

(SCREAMING)

It's okay.
You're safe now.

He's dead.

They will die if
they come together.

They need a conduit.

Someone between them willing
to sacrifice themselves.

It all makes sense now.

There was a third
person in my dreams,

a faceless figure.

Who? Who is that
going to be?

ANGELA: I think I know
exactly who it was.

(ZAPPING)

I tried everything.

I went back 1,000 times,
but we always failed.

We needed you.

So I went back to...
You saved me.

I would have died
in that storm.

Yes.

I'm sorry, but you
had to see this.

I followed
the tiniest thread,

just like my dad
taught me.

The smallest butterfly.

Save you, save the world.

What do we do?

Take me back to Gateway,

to the end of the world.

Malina!

Grandpa?

It's okay. I've got you.

There's got to be
another way.

You two have your destiny.

This is mine.

It's time to
save the world.

(YELLING)

(BULLET RICOCHETING)

(GASPS)

(MACHINERY WHIRRING)

No!

(YELLING)

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

No.

No,no,no,no.

Hey.

You're gonna be okay.

Gonna get you
to the hospital.

So, so sorry.

(GROANS)

I am so proud
of you both.

So proud.

No. No, no, no, no.
No, no.

Hey, hey, hey.
(CRYING) No!

No, please.

(SOBBING) No!

Please.

Can't keep me here forever.
I have rights.

Here's the thing,
Quentin.

We know you were there.
You saw how it went down.

These Evos save
the whole world

and don't ask for
a thing in return.

(SCOFFS)
No one does that.

So the question is,
who are they?

You want to know
who they are?

They're somebody's sister,
somebody's brother,

daughter, son, grandchild.

See, you people...

You people want them to be
extraordinary, but they're not.

They couldn't be
more ordinary.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

The only thing extraordinary is that
they got a chance to be heroes.

A tad excessive, maybe?

When are you guys gonna let
me come fight crime with you?

What kind of uncle would I
be if I took you with me?

I don't know.
Best uncle ever?

QUENTIN: They didn't
think about themselves.

They just did
the right thing.

And now they just
want to be left alone...

Oh.

...so they can scratch out

some small purpose

that can give their
life some meaning,

community, hope,
like all the rest of us.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

And when that darkness
rolls in, and it will,

they'll be here,
ready for the call,

up for the task,

without us even
having to ask.

MALINA: What is it?

I don't know.

QUENTIN: See, this is just the
beginning, man, an awakening.

And now my eyes
are open, wide open.

They were here to save us.

So you want to know
who they are?

Look in the mirror.

They're you, they're me,
on our best day.

So there you go.
That's who they are.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

How was your first day?

I found this.

On the card is twins.

When I touched it,
I got this feeling

like someone
was watching me.

You know what this is,
don't you?

It's a message from
your father, Malina.

It means he's coming back
for you and your brother.

And this time, no one will
be able to protect you.
