- Previously on "Heroes Reborn"...
- June 13th did not happen like they say it did.
- My daughter died on that day.
You don't just forget a day like that.
- You're starting at my girlfriend.
- I wasn't staring--unh!
- I heard about what Brad did to you. Sorry.
[gun cocks]
[air whooshing]
- Tommy! Your secret is safe with me.
- You're El Vengador? - We all have our secrets.
You can put on the mask.
You're a hero.
- Why were you trying to kill me?
- You told me to. - You wiped my memory.

just, like, ceases to exist.
- 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.
- Will you make this disappear?
I want to know what it feels like.

- Where the hell have you been?
I'm not exactly prison material. - 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 on June 13.
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?

Crap, I have trig. See you at lunch?
- 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.
[deep-sounding taps]
Well, that is one superior brand of drywall.
- Just our bloody luck.
Kid was a teleporter. Where the hell are we?
- I don't know. Just keep a grip on it, okay?
[mechanical roaring]
Dennis had one of these.
God, he loved it.
[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.
None of this would have happened
if you hadn't convinced me to take Dennis--
- Why don't your 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?

Carlos, may I speak with you?

Oscar told me about the rift between you two.
I hope you had a chance to reconcile.

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

- 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 ten years ago.
I've gotta get to her before they do.

And after that...

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

Her power was umbrakinesis.
She could manipulate darkness.
- No.
She wasn't one of mine.
And I'm sorry you lost her.

that Phoebe did not die on June 13th with the rest of them.
The things that I've found, they--
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.

No more omissions.
