Heroes Reborn (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Lion's Den - full transcript

NARRATOR: Previously
on Heroes Reborn...

Molly's in here somewhere.
(GUNS COCK)

(CLONES GRUNTS)

DEARING: Well, look
what we got here.

Run, Jose.
Find your uncle!

(EXCLAIMS)
(TASER CLICKING)

TOMMY: Mom, it's okay.

(WHIMPERS)
(SIRENS APPROACHING)

Mom?

Why are we
rounding up Evos?

To save our species.



MOLLY: I can't stop Erica,

but I will not help her
kill seven billion people.

(GASPS)
(GUNSHOT)

(ALARM SOUNDING)

(ALARM CONTINUES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER
OVER WALKIE-TALKIE)

What did Molly mean she wouldn't
help them kill seven billion people?

What the hell was she
talking about?

I don't know.

We got to find out
and there's one person

who has the answers.
Your mother.

You've seen
what she's capable of.

We've got to stop her.

I've got an idea.



This way.

All right.

(TRUCK HORN BLARING)

MALINA: So, why are we
in St. Pierre?

FARAH: Just a stop
along the way.

Along the way
to where exactly?

Along your way.

You've seen the signs
as clearly as I have.

I know,
my destiny.

I get it.

It's not like I don't know
how important it is...

World-saving.

I just don't know how
I'm supposed to do it.

I mean, I know a lot of
things in theory, but...

When the moment comes,
you will be ready.

I promise.

(WHISPERS) Come.

I need you to stay here.
I have to meet someone.

Yeah, sure.

And be vigilant
about your powers.

No slips. I promise.

Good girl.

ERICA: What
are they doing here?

Some kind
of scavenger hunt.

Renautas publishes
the "Evernow" game,

so they're taking
photographs of themselves

at different locations
on the campus.

A Japanese gamer named
Ren Shimosawa set it up.

The girls are dressed as...

Katana Girl.

Hmm. Miko Otomo.

This is a Trojan horse
to get past security.

She's here for the sword.

Get it out of here
and to my house.

I don't need this.

Without EPIC,
we are falling behind.

Although Molly's download
was incomplete,

the EPIC units are
still useful.

Our operatives
are using them now,

and they've been distributed
to law enforcement.

Great.

The technology I've spent a year
and billions of dollars developing

is only
a partial success.

(SIGHS) We can just arrest
them all for trespassing.

It'll be easy to isolate
them with the EPIC.

No, these are our customers,
and every single one of them

has a cell phone
with a camera.

We spoil their fun,
it goes viral in an instant.

You do want
the girl, though.

I do.

Send one of you to get them.

Be discreet.

And take care of
Molly Walker's body, please.

HARRIS: I've got the lab.

This one will take the gate.

(CRUNCHES)

(GATE BUZZER SOUNDS)

(INCOHERENT YELLING)

It's okay.
Let 'em through.

(ALL CHEERING)

(SPEAKING JAPAN ESE)

FEMALE ANNOUNCER: (OVER PA)
Remember, registration is the law.

Failure to comply
with registration procedures

will result in severe measures
and penalties.

Help us keep everyone safe.
It's our shared duty.

(WOMAN SPEAKING SPANISH
OVER PA)

Wait.
What is that?

MALE TECH: Tracking device
with satellite uplink.

Eye in the sky, so we
always know where you are.

It used to be the hand,
but we put it here.

(GROANS)

MALE TECH: Wouldn't want
to nick an artery.

You have an allowed radius.

Breach it,
an alarm's triggered.

Response time is
less than 10 minutes.

Who responds?

You don't want
to find out.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(ENGINE REVVING)

I think we need
to give her a name.

(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)

Jose!

NOAH: What is this?

Brassica oleracea.

Glycine max pasanaca.

Crispum... This is Latin.

It's genus species names.

These are seeds.

NOAH: A seed bank...

A very, very large
seed bank...

The kind you build when you're
planning to repopulate.

"Repopulate"?

After an extinction.

Aw, man!

You and Molly
were right.

I have no idea
what my mother's up to.

Let's speculate later.
(DOOR BUZZER SOUNDS)

We need to vamoose
before we're jacked

into one of those
crazy-ass pods.

Come on.

MAN: 672, Renkert?
That's it... 672.

(WHISPERS) They're loading
them for transport.

To where?

NOAH: That might be a good
question for your mother, Taylor.

(SIGHS) Evil bitch.
(CHUCKLES)

Evil bitch or not,

you're about
to mend fences with her.

Joanne?

Hello?

(SIGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(ENGINE STARTS)

(SIGHS)

(CELL PHONE DIALING)

Caspar, it's Farah, again.

We've been here for hours.
Our contact hasn't shown up.

Call me.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

(EVO MARKER BEEPS)

(POWERING UP)

(PROCESSING)

She's headed east.

(CHATTERING)

(EVO MARKER BEEPS,
POWERING UP)

(CONVERSING IN JAPANESE)

(CLICK)

DENNIS: (RECORDED VOICE) You're the
best daddy in the whole world.

I love you, Daddy.

FEMALE ANNOUNCER: (OVER PA)
Remember, registration is the law.

So what are you
running from, Tommy?

(CHEWING)

Should I call you Kevin?

Or Michael? Or Justin?

Five aliases,

that's got to be a record

for someone your age.

So, I'm gonna
ask you again.

What are you and your
mother running from?

You and people like you.

People like me need laws

to protect us

from people like you.

That's what the Odessa
Protocol's all about.

Wait. ls that what's
gonna happen to me?

Am I gonna disappear
like the other...

What about my mom?

I don't know
what's gonna happen

until we get
a few things cleared,

so why don't we start with you
telling me your real name?

(SIGHS) It's Tommy.

The others were fake.

Your last name?

Clark. AGENT CUTLER:
Your real last name.

The one you had
before you were adopted.

Unless you were adopted
when you were an infant

and you don't remember.

No, I'm not adopted. AGENT
CUTLER: Your blood type is AB,

your mother's is O-negative,

so, biologically speaking,

there's no way that could happen...
What about my father?

No matter what blood type
your father had.

Anne Clark isn't
your birth mother.

So we need to find
your birth parents,

in case they're
unregistered as well.

Meantime, lam logging
your abilities

and your tracking number.

You're required to report any
changes in your teleportation power

or if you develop
any new abilities.

(CELL PHONE DIALING)

He's gone. (SIGHS)

Lock down the hospital.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

Penny for your thoughts,
Agent Cutler.

(FOOTSTEPS)

(FARAH PANTING)

What is it?
What's wrong?

We were supposed
to meet someone,

and I'm pretty sure
I had a tail.

I think you still do.

What's happening?
Who are they?

HARRIS CLONE: Where is it?

Where's the baby?

(EVO MARKER PROCESSING)

I'm afraid your powers
can't hide you anymore.

The next one won't miss.

Farah!

(GUNSHOT)
(GROANS)

(GRUNTS)
(WIND WHOOSHING)

(BOTH GROANING)

Malina, chalo.

Chalo!

(SIREN WAILING)

I want to see
Detective Dearing.

Something
he's investigating?

No, something
he committed.

My nephew Jose,
he's 12 years old

and Father Mauricio
from Saint Francis,

they're both missing.

And they were
at my family's auto shop.

Dearing knows
where they are.

Kidnapping's
a pretty serious charge.

Yes, it is. So, like I said,
if I could talk to him...

Wait right here.

Guy out front here says you might
know something about a kidnapping.

A couple people disappeared from
an auto shop on Las Flores.

Really?

Doesn't ring a bell.

Have him take a seat.
I'll be there in a minute.

Hey, Dearing,
check this out.

These new EPIC things
finally showed up.

Do you really think these things can
tell you if there's an Evo in the room?

(EVO MARKER BEEPS,
POWERING UP)

Where you going, boss?

(EVO MARKER BEEPS,
POWERING UP)

I left my phone in the car.
(EVO MARKER PROCESSING)

(BOTH GRUNT)

(GROANS)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Back off.
We'll handle this.

Get back to work.
(GRUNTING)

You should have
told us, man.

You know what we have
to do to you now.

Let's get him up.
Get up.

(GRUNTING)

(DEVICE BEEPING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(DEVICE BEEPS)

Let's get ready.

Erica.

Great. We're almost
ready for you.

Thank you, Richard.

Everything okay?
Fine, yes.

Family stuff.

You have a daughter,
don't you?

I do, but she's six,
so she thinks I'm a god.

(CHUCKLES)

Maybe she's right.

What you're doing
is godlike.

The next Big Bang
without the noise or the mess.

You ready?

All clear.

(MACHINE BUZZING)

(MACHINE POWERING UP)

Phenomenal.
Hmm.

It is just
phenomenal, Richard.

We've built an entire company based on
mining the power of Evos, but this...

This one's power is
by far the most important.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Excuse me.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

TAYLOR: (ON PHONE)
(SOBBING) Mom. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for it
to go that far.

I was just trying to get back
at you because of Francis.

I know it was
childish of me.

Yes, it was.

TAYLOR: Can we talk?

Please? Face-to-face?

Where are you, Taylor?

TAYLOR". At the house.

I just really need to talk.

I'll meet you there.

(SNIFFLES)
(PHONE BEEPS)

I've always been
an excellent fake crier.

(SIGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(EVO MARKER BEEPS,

(EVO MARKER PROCESSING)

(PROCESSING CONTINUES)

(PANTING)

(CONVERSING IN JAPANESE)

(PANTING)

Hey, what the hell?

We paid our rent.

I don't rent to Evos.

You can't just
throw us out.

You didn't register, and
that's grounds for eviction.

You've got 30 days
to comply.

I don't see them.

Them who?

Who were those people?
Renautas.

MALINA: Who's that?

FARAH: A corporation
hell-bent on making sure

you don't complete
your mission.

MALINA: A corporation?

How did they find us?

I don't know,
but I think

those glasses he was wearing
can see our powers.

(SIGHS) Malina...

You don't have to
save the world alone,

but if those men
catch us...

Come on.

(THROUGH SPEAKERS) All
right, so the trick here.

(LAUGHS)

The trick here is that
you don't want to use

too much glue,
all right, buddy?

Now, we're just gonna use a
little dab around the edges

and on the bottom,
just like so.

Then you just...

JOANNE: (GASPS)
(WHISPERS) Exciting moment.

Set it in.
Voila, nice and easy.

(SNIFFLES)
Okay? Got it?

Yeah.
I think he's got it, babe.

He's got it.
JOANNE". Yay.

All right, Captain, you want
to see if she's seaworthy?

Yeah. One, two,
three, let her rip.

Yeah! Come on, buddy.

We built that.

Yeah. We did that.

(CELLPHONE KEYPAD BEEPING)

(RING TONE)

(LINE CLICKS)

(SOBS) Hey, Marcy, it's Luke.

Um... (SNIFFLES)

I need to see Don
right away.

(RING TONE)

Damn it.
(CELLPHONE BEEPS)

ls anyone coming
to meet us?

Run. Chalo. Chalo!

(PANTING)

We can't keep running.

I can stop them.

It's not working!

I can't use my powers.

Get to the back.

Get to the back!

(SHOUTS)

Oh, my God, no.

(GRUNTS)

Oh! I can't.
Go, just go.

I'm not leaving you.

When the time comes,
you will know what to do.

The answers you need
are in this envelope.

(GROANS)

(ENGINE RUMBLING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(GRUNTING)

Tommy!
Oh, my gosh!

You're okay.

It's all gonna be okay.

No, it's not gonna be okay.
It's never going to be okay.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

It really doesn't matter.

That's not the problem.

What is it?

She's not my mom.
What?

My mom,
she's not my mom!

Our blood types don't match,
and I didn't even know,

and I've got
all these different names,

and I don't even know
if mine is real.

Lots of people
are adopted.

I mean, it's not okay
that your mom didn't tell you.

Being adopted
isn't any big deal.

People are test-tube babies
and surrogate babies.

She lied to me...

About everything.

I don't even know who I am.

You've got
to talk to her,

give her a chance
to explain.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(CHOKING)

What the hell are
you doing here?

You took my friends.

Loan leave you here and let
your men tear you apart, or...

You take me
to where they are.

Okay, okay.
Yeah.

Really?

(GROANS)

Really.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(ENGINE ROARING)
(TIRES SCREECHING)

(GUNSHOTS)

(DOOR SECURITY DEVICE BEEPS)

Sorry I interrupted your day.

It seems that you are
always sorry for something.

Tell me why you went
behind my back.

I just wanted answers.

But you didn't trust me
to give them to you?

It's not about trust.

It's just, whenever
I ask you a question,

all I wind up with
is more questions.

This whole thing is about
your friend, Francis?

We were more
than friends,

and I asked you
if you killed him.

Which was
utterly ridiculous.

Maybe, but you didn't tell
me what you did do with him.

You didn't tell me he was
locked in the basement,

wired up in some kind of pod,
along with all those other Evos.

Francis knew exactly
what he was getting into

when he came to work
for Renautas.

He believes
in what we're doing.

What exactly
is that, Mother?

Saving the future
that we've squandered,

and that requires sacrifice.

Molly Walker...

Did she understand
about sacrifice, too?

Is that why she blew
her brains out?

I cannot talk to you
when you are like this.

You are being
delusional and paranoid.

(CHUCKLES)

It's happening
again, isn't it?

You're using.

I'm not using.

Don't try
to blame this on me.

We have been
down this road, Taylor.

I know the signs.
Mom, I'm not using!

That's exactly
what a junkie would say.

I'm sorry,
but I don't believe you.

NOAH: I do.

Long time, Erica.

So dramatic, Noah.

You could have just knocked.

And you...

You broke my heart.

I'm not so sure
you have one anymore.

Where's my sister?

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

"I have no idea what you're
talking about." Okay, all right.

Why don't you two
give me a minute with her?

Come on, Erica,
let's take a walk.

ERICA: It's hard to believe

it's only been a year
since we've worked together.

When Renautas took
over Primatech,

I considered you
one of my greatest assets.

Who could have imagined
this scenario?

What is on your mind, Noah?

Did you kill
my daughter?

I had nothing to do
with Claire's death.

And Hiro Nakamura?

He died at the Summit
with all the rest.

You can blame
Mohinder Suresh for that.

And Molly Walker.

You gonna stand
there and claim

that her blood is
not on your hands?

Molly Walker was part of
something larger than herself.

She just couldn't get past
her own selfishness and fear.

What is so big
and so important

that it is worth
Molly's life

and the lives
of all those other people

you have locked up
in that basement?

Us, Noah.

This planet.

There is no
cost too high.

Including murder?

(CHUCKLES) That's
what's wrong with you.

You grew soft,
and like most of humanity,

you are not willing to do
what's necessary, but I am.

lam giving us a future.

Somebody has to.

NOAH: How exactly
does this work,

this big sacrifice
of yours?

ERICA: Why should I tell you?

You're the one
who chose to forget,

who chose to wipe his own
memory, all to protect...

What... What?

To protect what?

(CHUCKLES)

You mean "who," don't you?

I'm tired of this game.
I want answers!

You can put
the gun down now.

Thank you, Harris.

Your errand was
certainly timely.

His friends are
in the kitchen.

Not a problem.
I brought company.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

(PANTING) Luke. Marcy told
me it was an emergency.

I came as soon as I could.

Uh, come in.

Can I get you a drink
or something?

No, no. No, I'm...
I'm fine.

Why am I here, Luke?
I got patients waiting.

How much will you pay me for
my share of the practice, Don?

Don't think about it.
Just tell me.

Look, I'm gonna head back
to the office, all right?

We can talk about this
in the morning.

Do you want
the practice?

If you asked me
a year ago...

Do you want
the practice, Don?

Yeah.

That's great.
(INHALES DEEPLY)

Just, uh...
Just write me a check.

You making a change

or just retiring?

Atoning.

Richard called.
He says it's important.

Please. Everything
is important to Richard,

how many loads
we can transfer per day,

how he takes his coffee.

Fine.
What is it this time?

I don't know. We'll go see
him when we're done here.

You're not getting
away with this.

Everybody's gonna know...

(GRUNTS)
(GROANING)

What would you like
to do with them?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

Give me the sword, now.

(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

You got this?
Yeah.

(SPEAKING JAPAN ESE)

(DOOR SLIDES CLOSE)

(CHUCKLES)

Arigato.

Yes!

(EKG BEEPING)

Tommy.

(SIGHS) Thank God
you're all right.

What did they do to you?
What did you tell them?

What did I tell them?

I don't know, Mom.
What could I tell them?

Not the truth, 'cause
I don't know the truth, do I?

You lied to me.

You've always lied to me.

Nathan...
Nathan?

Is that even my
name, who I am?

Where did I come from?
You are my son.

No matter what name
we are using,

you have always
been my son.

I wanted to tell
you. I did...

But there just never
seemed to be a good time.

But I will tell
you everything.

CASPAR: Everything, Anne?

You really ready
to tell him everything?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

NOAH: I lost them.

There must be a secret exit,
like a tunnel or something.

Where is my sister,
Phoebe Frady?

Oh, easy, easy.
That's enough.

Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me, man?

We got him right where we want him.
(CHUCKLES)

We could beat the answers
out of him if we want to,

but now you want to
wuss out on me?

(GUN COCKS)
Where is my sister?

Quentin,
that's enough.

You know him
and you didn't tell me?

Of course your
mother knows me.

I've been around
for a while.

How long?
Over a year now.

A Year?

(STAMMERS) Wait.
Are you my dad?

No. He's not your dad.

Then why have you been following me for...
For a year?

(SIGHS)

Because you're
that important, Tommy,

very important.

I couldn't tell you.

I had to take you away
before you found out,

'cause I was afraid that
when you found out, you...

You would try
to save your dad.

I couldn't lose you both.
(SIGHS)

You shouldn't have run.

Then this wouldn't
have happened.

What do you want with me?

Why am I so important?

You have a destiny.

Humanity has one last
hope for survival,

and part of it rests
on your shoulders.

What does that even mean?

(SIGHS)

You're going to help
save the world.

No.

I'm not.

(SOBBING)

(PANTING)

(SMOKE ALARM BEEPING)

(SMOKE ALARM BLARING)

(ENGINE WHIRRING)

Erica, thank God.
Are you okay?

ERICA: Of course.
Just a minor inconvenience.

I'm afraid Mr. Harris here
underestimated the situation,

but I'm sure
he won't do it again.

Right. Well,
the reason I called,

things are happening much more
quickly than we anticipated.

How quickly?

Less than a week.

Have you run
the simulation?

Yes, that's what
I needed you to see.

With the magnetic
poles reversing,

we are going
to be defenseless

against solar radiation.

A coronal mass ejection
unlike anything

the world has ever seen
is headed our way.

We're talking
total devastation,

96% of all species on Earth

wiped out
in a matter of days.

It's worse
than we ever expected.

What did you
expect, Richard?

Starting over
is never pretty.
