Heroes Reborn (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Needs of the Many - full transcript

NOAH: Previously on
Heroes Reborn...

They're gonna kill me!

NOAH: I know I saw you
on June 13th.

You are the only one who can
tell me what really happened.

Molly!

(SCREAMING) No!

With our processor
now online,

EPIC can locate every enhanced
human on this planet.

It's a trap!
They found us!

(GUNSHOT)

(GUNFIRE)
(GRUNTING)



(GROANING) God!

Why is this
happening to me?

(SCREAMING)

(GROANING)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

How long you
been following us?

TOMMY: Who is that man
you were talking to?

ANNE: We have to go,
Tommy.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

SURESH: How do we find
our true purpose?

ls it something
we're born with,

written into
our genetic code?

Or is it something
we must learn over time?

A growing awareness derived
from life's joys and sorrows.



Mom?

From our loves...

(GROANS)

Our losses,
our achievements,

and our suffering.

(WHIMPERS)

Mom. Mom, it's okay.
I'm here.

(GRUNTS)

I just wanted
some more time with you.

Mom, it's fine. I'm gonna
get you to a hospital, okay?

No.

It's too... Go.

No,no,no.
Go.

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

Mom?

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

FEMALE ANNOUNCER:
Nursing supervisor to the O.R.

Any available nursing
supervisor to the O.R.

(GASPS)

Hey, there.
What can I do for you?

JOANNE: Alexander French?
Yeah, that's right.

(GUNSHOT)

Whoo-hoo!

My God,
that was a pretty shot.

Did you see how
his body crumpled

before his eyes
even realized he was dead?

Luke, I asked you
a question.

Yeah, honey, that was
a really pretty shot.

But this man,
he had a family.

This man was a monster.

With a wife and a kid.

Who are safer
now that we acted.

Or maybe we're just
making assumptions

because his name
was on some list.

We don't know anything
about these people.

He could've been a teacher,
a doctor, I mean...

(CLATTERS)

(DOG WHIMPERS)

(SIGHS)

Come on.

(PRAYING IN ARABIC)

(SPEAKING URDU)

It's time to head south,
isn't it?

Good.
I'm ready.

Watch yourself, child.

I know grown men who would
shake in their boots

if they knew the fate of the
world was in their hands.

Good thing I'm not
a grown man.

(SPEAKING JAPAN ESE)

(CHUCKLING)

(CONTINUES SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Fellow Evernow champions,

I'm here with the daughter
of the great Hachiro Otomo,

the real-life Katana Girl!

(SPEAKING JAPAN ESE)

We are on our way
to America,

but we can't fulfill our
quest without your help.

So if you love Evernow,
as much as I do,

dress up as your
favorite character

and meet us
tomorrow morning

at the gates of Renautus
in Midian.

Gamers of the world
unite.

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

QUENTIN:
Look at these people.

They're digital sheep
pedaling their free bikes,

eating their precious
free sushi,

completely blind to everything
that's going on around them.

You worked here
for almost a year

before you said
anything.

It's really good sushi.

All right, come on. We got to find
a way inside the research lab.

Easier said than done.

Who said anything
about easy?

You saw what they did
with that device.

With EPIC online,
no one is safe.

If they're really
sucking out Molly's power,

they're probably doing
the same thing to Phoebe,

turning her
into some kind of...

Like, a shadow blaster
or something.

What?
It's a thing.

It could be a thing.

Okay. All right, all right.
You don't know.

Look, just keep
your head low,

and do exactly as I say,
all right?

If your sister's here,
we'll find her.

(BOLT CRANKING)

CARLOS: What you doing?

(WRENCH CLATTERING)
Nothing.

Don't look like nothing.

What happened
to your face?

Fell down some stairs.
(SIGHS)

Don't change the subject.

It was Abolition’s.

Don't think it's seen the road
in about 20 years though.

Dad promised
we'd fix it. Together.

It's up to me now.

You did all this?

All it needed was
a little upgrade.

Little upgrade?

It's what he
would have wanted.

Come here, Miro.

What is it?

Uncle Carlos?

I need to get to school.

Uncle Carlos?

We're gonna need
bulletproof glass.

And Kevlar,
lots of Kevlar.

(HUMMING)

Gotta try this
spicy tuna.

Do I know you?

No, Taylor, but you do
know a friend of ours.

What friend is that?

Molly Walker.

You're gonna help us
break her out.

Yeah, you are.

NOAH: What do you know about
your mother's research division?

What do you think
you're doing?

What kind of security
does she have?

Noah Bennet.

The original
bag and tagger.

Careful, Taylor.

What kind of mother puts her own
daughter in this line of work?

One who trusts me
to get the job done.

Or maybe one who doesn't
care if you take a bullet?

QUENTIN: You know,
I almost met your mom once.

June 13th.

Right after the bombing.

All I wanted was one minute
so I could ask her,

face-to-face,
what happened to my sister.

Security was too tight.

I couldn't get near her.

But now, I can get
all my answers.

What do you think
you'll find out?

She's kidnapping
innocent people.

You have no idea what she's trying
to accomplish. NOAH: And you do?

What is it you think she's
trying to accomplish, Taylor?

Locking up human beings?
Torturing them?

You don't know that. But they
are human beings, Taylor.

You must have seen that.

Believe me,

all parents
will lie to their kids

to protect them
from the truth.

I'm not asking you
to betray your mother.

I'm just asking you
to question her.

TAYLOR:
What happened to Francis?

You know, every time
I doubt the path I'm on,

I think about you,
Taylor.

Mom, can we not dredge up
the past for once?

Look, I'm not mad at you
for sleeping around.

What upsets me is you would
sleep with one of them.

You act like this is
just some fling.

With an Evo.
With a great guy,

who I care about a lot.

(SIGHS) When did you become
such a bigot?

You have no idea what I am,

or what I'm trying
to accomplish here.

Then tell me, Mom.
Bring me in for once.

Why are we
rounding these people up?

Did you know that
aluminum used to be

one of the rarest, most
valuable metals in the world?

I asked you
a simple question.

In the courts
of Napoleon Ill,

French royalty were served
in round plates of solid gold,

while only
the Emperor himself

had the honor of eating
on a plate of aluminum.

That's how hard
it was to come by.

And of course,
a few decades later,

a chemist by the name
of Charles Martin Hall

developed a way to extract
aluminum from common dirt

at almost no cost.

And just like that, it went from
the banquet halls of royalty

to the pantries
of peasants.

All because of one person's
creative spark.

This isn't
a TED talk, Mom.

Just tell me the truth.
What are you really after?

Abundance, Taylor.

A world of infinite supply,

so that you never have
to suffer through war,

hunger, pollution,
terrorism, greed.

I mean, all the horrible
consequences

of an overcrowded,
selfish, doomed planet.

But you still haven't
answered my question.

Why are we
rounding up Evos?

To save our species.

Do you trust me?

WOMAN: (ON PA)
Dr. Susan Morris to ICU.

Dr. Susan Morris to ICU.

Tommy!

I'm so glad you're okay.

BRAD: Dude.

Uh, what are you guys
doing here?

A friend gets t-boned
by a drunk driver,

we're not gonna sit at home
with our thumbs up our...

He gets the point, Brad.

We were worried about you.

Oh. Wow.

DR. LOPEZ: Thomas Clark?

Is my mom okay?

She suffered what we call
a blunt splenic trauma

causing
an internal hemorrhage.

But now she's fine,
right?

She's stable,
but we're still

gonna have to do
a blood transfusion.

Okay, great.
Let's do it.

What's wrong?

We don't have any
O-negative blood on supply.

It's quite rare, and ever
since the Evos came out,

blood donations aren't
what they used to be.

What about mine? You can
give her mine, right?

Well, blood relatives are
more likely to be a match...

Then test it.

EMILY: Tommy.

She's the only family
I have.

(CHUCKLES)

I almost forgot what it
feels like to sweat.

Isn't it weirdly
refreshing?

The Sindhis of Pakistan
do not sweat.

We glow so that God may
see us better.

Of course you do.

Why are we stopping?

The signs were there just
like she said they'd be.

We don't have time to just stop.
Time?

What do you know
about time?

I'm not a child
anymore, Farah.

Have you ever wondered why we
kept you hidden in the Arctic?

They've been
hunting you, Malina.

Ever since your first birthday,
our enemies have been

searching for you with
only one thing in mind.

Death.

Which is why we must
fight them back with life.

(SPEAKING URDU)

Calm down.
Calm down, sir.

We pose you no threat.

(CELLPHONE BEEPS)

I need help out here now!

Yeah, there are these two...

(GRUNTS)

Training is over.

What's the matter with you?
It's gorgeous out.

I've been fighting
this wicked headache

the last couple days,
so...

No, no, it just, it just...
lt feels better in the dark.

Take a bloody aspirin.

No, I'll be fine.

Look, babe, I've been doing
a lot of thinking, and, uh...

I think maybe I should sit
out this next appointment.

Maybe you should, too.

Maybe we both should.

We could... I don't know. We could...
We could rent a boat

and watch the sunset,

and maybe open
a bottle of wine,

be normal
like we used to be.

Normal?

It's not too late.

Oh.

Feels like the surface
of the sun.

Yeah, like I said, I...

No wonder you're not
yourself.

Here.

Get some rest,
drink plenty of fluids,

and I will pick you up
some meds on the way back.

We used to be a part of
something special, weren't we?

Things always look better
in the rear view.

No, we were happy.
I know we were.

Things change, Luke.

You gotta keep changing
with them.

Joanne.
What?

I still love you.

(CRACKING)

(BOILING)

(LABORED BREATHING)

It's beautiful,
isn't it?

When nature's
so unpredictable.

Do they have any idea
what's really coming?

I hope not,
for their sake.

But I'm just
one person.

What if I can't save
them all by myself?

You're not alone,
Malina.

FARAH: You'll have help,

even if the others
don't know it yet.

(INDISTINCT PA ANNOUNCEMENT)

(BOTH SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

What did you do
to the suit?

Meet version 2.0.

You might want
to stand back.

(HYDRAULIC GEARS WORKING)

So you made yourself
a fancy costume.

Am I supposed to be
impressed?

Yeah, a little.

Become a man who's fit
to wear it,

then I'll be impressed.

I'm not doing this
for you, Father.

Or for Oscar.

Then why don the mask?

'Cause for once,

I want to believe
in something bigger than me.

(SIGHS)

Captain Dearing
will be looking for you.

I have a feeling he might
be onto me as well.

Then we'll just have
to get to him first.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Mom, don't get mad,
but...

I had my blood tested
to see if we were a match.

I know what
you're thinking.

How could I risk
exposing who I am?

But I had no choice.

(DOOR OPENING)

The test results
came back.

And?

You weren't a match.

How could I not be?

It's never a sure thing,
even amongst family members.

So what do we do?

Well, the closest blood bank
with her type

is in South Bend, Indiana.

I can put in an order, but it
could take up to six hours.

Tommy,

is there something
you want to tell me?

About what?

What happened in there?

She still needs blood.

Tommy,
where are you going?

Indiana.
Want to come?

Sorry,
cleared employees only.

But you do know
who I am?

Yes, Ms. Kravid.

Good, then you should've
seen this coming.

(BOTH GROANING)

Now let's find Molly.

(BEEPING)

(DOOR BUZZING OPEN)

NOAH: We're close.

Molly's in here
somewhere.

We don't want to shoot you,
but we will if necessary.

"We"?

(GUN COCKS)

That's the guy
that took my sister,

or at least
one of them is.

Hit the ground
on the count of three.

Wait, what?
One.

What if they know
where she is?

Two.
I hate your face, Bennet.

Three.

(GUNSHOTS)

(GRUNTING)

How are we not pausing to have
a conversation about this?

You just saw that, right?
Right?

Three dudes just
kind of crumbled

into piles
of kosher salt?

Welcome to my world.

JOANNE: I'm telling you, this
list of Evos has been a godsend.

Remember the first one
we killed?

Of course.

Afterward,
you were so content.

You were so
blissfully satisfied.

I have never seen anyone
sleep so soundly.

I spent the rest of that night
hunched over a toilet.

Why are you
saying this now?

We lost our son,
Joanne,

and for the last year, I've been so
terrified that I would lose you, too.

And the truth is
I have lost you.

I have lost myself.

We have lost each other.

(GASPS)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

If you want to do it,
do it.

(BREATHING UNSTEADILY)

(SIGHS)

I really did love you.

You ever get the feeling you were
meant to do something extraordinary?

(CHUCKLES)

I work at an ice cream parlor
in Carbondale, Illinois.

An extraordinary
ice cream parlor.

(LAUGHS)

Look, the thing is, Emily,
I do get that feeling,

all the time,
and it sucks.

There's, like, 1,000 pounds
of pressure weighing me down,

reminding me
that I'm different.

Good.

Good?

You are different,
Tommy.

You'll always be different.

But trust me,

the moment you
accept that,

you're gonna start
having way more fun.

NOW... (CHUCKLES)

Let's go save your mom.

Oh, my gosh.
We totally just...

lam so never flying
commercial again.

We have the blood.

You have to run.

What?

Your blood test went straight
to a federal database.

They know what you are.

I'll take care of your mom,
but you have to run.

Now!

Come on. Let's go.

You know what
you have to do.

There are people
watching.

Tommy, don't worry
about them for once.

Just be you.

Be extraordinary.

I wouldn't do that
if I were you, Mr. Clark.

Not if you want your mother
to get that blood

you were so kind
to deliver.

Uncle Carlos.

I was thinking we could add some
performance cylinder heads.

(ENGINE STARTS)

You did it!
It sounds great.

Hey, can I come
with you?

Ah, too dangerous.

I want to push it
up to 100.

Nothing's gonna happen.
I'll be fine.

I know, Miro, but, uh...

I need you here
holding down the fort.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(METAL PART RICOCHETS)

You're not going to
believe this.

My dad, El Vengador.

Jose, slow down.

I used to be so afraid
to show him what I could do,

but this whole time,
we could've been a team.

Jose!

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Well, look what we
got here.

Two-for-one special.

Run, Jose.
But...

Now go!
Find your uncle!

(CRIES OUT)

MAN: Dearing,
I got the kid.

Holy...

(BOTH SPEAKING JAPANESE)

There she is.

It's Katana Girl!

(ALL SCREAMING)

Phoebe?
Phoebe?

Are these all...
Evos.

They were smart enough not to
go to Odessa on June 13th,

but they still couldn't
hide from your mother.

Oh, my God.
Francis.

What did she do to him?

Plotting bitch.

NOAH: I once knew a man
who could harvest

people's powers
through their brains.

He collected them,
used them for his own ends.

But I think your mother
has found another way.

Noah? Noah.

Molly.

Molly.

You're gonna be okay.

It's all gonna be
all right.

(SIGHS)
There's no stopping it.

Every machine has
an off switch.

Not this one.

TAYLOR: I swear I didn't
know what she was doing.

I'm so sorry.

What?
What is it?

You should've never
found me.

Molly.

I'm just here to help.

People have been telling me
that my entire life,

but all they want to do
is use me for my powers.

You should understand that
better than anyone.

I'm not proud of my past. You
know if I could change it...

Forget about the past,
Noah.

This is about so much more
than you and me and June 13th.

I was there in the hospital
when your daughter died.

What happened?

(SNIFFLING)

We all knew
what was at stake,

and we agreed to do
whatever was necessary

to keep them safe.

No, no!
What are you doing?

Erica tried to take
everything from me,

but I was strong.

(CRYING)
I was really strong,

and I didn't give her
the location.

Of What?

If I tell you,
you won't go back.

And then
we're all dead anyway.

You're not making
any sense.

I can't stop Erica,

but I will not help her
kill seven billion people.

TAYLOR: What?

Molly, put the gun down

and let's talk, okay?

You're the only one
who can tell me

what really happened
on June 13th.

Forget the past, Noah.

Save the future.

NOAH: Molly, just...

(GUNSHOT)
(ALL GASPING)

(SOBBING)

(ALARM BLARING)

We can't leave her
like this.

If we don't, we're gonna
end up just like her.

Come on, man.
We got to go.

Find them.
They can't be far.

We just lost Molly Walker.
Gunshot wound.

Self-inflicted.

How exactly did she manage
to get her hands on a gun?

Security ID'd Noah Bennet,
and...

Well, there's no way
to put this delicately.

He was with your daughter.

Bring them to me.

What about EPIC?

Local tracking
still functions properly.

As long as you're
within 100 feet of an Evo,

they'll all register
on the device.

But remote locations?

Not without the girl.

At least tell me we found
it before she died.

(SCOFFS)

Lovely.

It's only the future of the entire
human race hanging in the balance.

Before global tracking
went down,

EPIC did pick up a signal in
Canada that showed some potential.

It's too late
for potential, Mr. Harris.

I need you to find me
that child.

And when you do,
I need you to kill it.

I'll put my usual team
on it.

No.

This is too important.

This time, you're taking
the Shadow.

SURESH: We all have
a unique purpose,

and try as we might,
we cannot run from it.

The only question
that remains,

will we be able to stay
true to who we are,

or will we succumb
to the pressure of destiny

and become something
else entirely?

Something inhuman?
