"NARRATOR:" "Previously on Heroes." "My dad lied to me about my entire life, my biological parents, my ability." "You can't just hide things like that." "ZACH:" "A 21-year-old woman was killed in the explosion." "also killed in the fire was her 18-month-old daughter." "Hi, I'm looking for someone related to Meredith Gordon." "This is her." "Mom?" "Where are you taking us?" "Tell your boss I am on very important mission." "(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)" "It could take years to integrate a multiple personality, but if you let me, I can help you." "What I am, you can't fix." "Who are you?" "How can you see me?" "I don't know." "I just do what you can do." "I'm the Invisible Man." "I'm CIaude Rains." "Now get away from me." "I found you." "I need you to help me." "This entire city is in danger." "You seemed pretty sure about that pending apocalypse of yours." "How many people have you taught before me?" "If he crashes, you bring him back, again and again." "He's dead." "Well, that's less than ideal." "WOMAN:" "Ow!" "Hey!" "I don't see how petty theft is part of my training." "There's a Iot you don't see." "You have no idea how to use these gifts of yours properly." "Yeah, and you do?" "No." "Right now, your abilities only show up as a reflex." "Autonomic, Iike swallowing." "That's a dog's trick." "Making it a conscious choice, using it, that's what makes you more than a poodle." "Now, is insulting me really going to help me learn how to do that?" "Listen, you're the one who's a bomb set to blow up me and everyone in this city, unless I can get you housebroken." "CLAUDE:" "That's right, now he's listening." "Now, you absorb all these abilities you find, yeah?" "You're invisible with me, you've flown, you've read some minds." "Yeah, it put me in a coma for two weeks." "Your body doesn't know what to do with them all." "It's gotten jumbled, Iike file cards knocking around a shoebox, except with you, the cards are doused in plutonium, piling up to a critical mass." "Now, I'm gonna teach you how to pull them out one at a time." "PETER:" "You think that's possible?" "I hope so." "Next time you shut down might not be just a coma." "It might be the day you meltdown." "So, then let's get to today's lesson." "AII right." "Let's start by seeing if you can hold on to one of your powers without your benefactors hanging around." "You think I could do that alone?" "We're about to find out." "Remember to breathe." "Hey!" "God, it sounds like a bomb is about to go off." "I know it's hard." "Just focus on the mirror and try to relax." "I can't relax." "You're trying to bring her out." "Jessica." "I told you, she is dangerous." "She could hurt you." "Show me." "Those cuffs could keep an elephant in that chair." "And just 'cause I'm a shrink, don't think I don't know how to use that taser." "I thought that the goal was to get rid of her." "The goal here is to bring your two halves to a healthy middle, to have a unified and whole you, not two aspects at war." "How do we do this?" "Like I said, you focus on the reflection, and breathe." "Come on." "Feel free to let your mind wander." "We used to have a piano in our home." "You played?" "Chopsticks, barely." "My sister." "Jessica." "She played beautifully." "I used to play with her sheet music." "I didn't know what it was, just dots and lines." "I would get out my crayons and connect the dots." "Jessica used to say" "I could turn Mozart into a monkey." "JESSICA:" "I sure did." "Jessica." "You should've listened to little mouse." "(EXCLAIMS)" "(DOOR OPENING)" "How's claire?" "That was for the haircut." "You shouldn't have built such a good cage." "If you go anywhere near her..." "No!" "No!" "No!" "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "You didn't just use your key this time." "I shouldn't have them, not anymore." "You started painting since you got back from rehab." "Can I see them?" "That's not done yet." "Oh, God." "That's the roof of my father's building." "We had a Iot of good memories up there." "Is that how you painted our relationship," "like a city destroyed?" "What are you looking for, Simone?" "It's Peter." "He's still missing." "I'm running out of places to look." "You finally believe I can paint the future, and you want to use it to find your new boyfriend." "I don't want to be asking you this, either." "Can you?" "I have been." "Except it's not working." "Every time I try to paint where Peter is, I get nothing." "You've been trying to find him?" "Why?" "I know what he can do." "He's the one that's gonna turn New York into this." "I'm not gonna let him." "How do you know so much about him?" "Because I painted it." "I care about you, Simone, more than I knew how to say when..." "When it would have made a difference." "But right now, I don't care if you hate me, I just want you safe." "Stay away from Peter." "Just tell me you'II look for him." "I'II try." "Yeah." "Simone." "Keep the key." "(GROWLING)" "The manatee's on the brink of extinction." "There's one at the aquarium in Lubbock and the marine biologist said we could stop by anytime." "You're asking my permission to skip school?" "No, if I wanted to skip school, I'd check into homeroom, and then sneak out Miss Robert's window, but you've always stressed honesty, so I'm being honest." "The manatee is a very noble creature." "Is your car in working order, Zachary?" "I just had the oil changed." "Any tickets?" "Just parking." "You'II be home for dinner." "Yes." "That's not a question." "I'm making fajitas." "Zach, you're welcome to join us." "(SANDRA LAUGHING)" "Let's go." "Okay." "We'II wait 15 minutes, and then head out." "Do you have the directions to Kermit?" "Uh, yeah." "Look, what if your mom wants proof about the aquarium?" "Where did you get these?" "Motel 6 lobby and my color printer." "No one can know we're going to see my real mom." "We have to be perfect." "(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)" "(ALARM RINGING)" "(DOOR BUZZING)" "Get a doctor!" "Oh!" "Wait." "What happened?" "No!" "I tried to tell her." "Take me back to my cell!" "Love to." "Thanks for almost getting me arrested." "A little more focus, you'd have had some cash and fresh lipstick." "I never said it'd be easy." "In fact, I think I said repeatedly it'd be crap." "You've been doing this for 15 years." "Cut me a Iittle slack on trying to do it for five minutes." "You'II learn." "We've just got to find what's holding you back." "Cops have my name and address." "I'm pretty sure Nathan's gonna kill me first, anyway." "You worry a Iot about your people, don't you?" "Your friends, your mother, your brother." "No wonder your head's all clogged." "You're still sunk under." "Under what?" "Your attachments." "AII these people who feed you biscuits, pat your head, and tell you you're not fit for the outdoors." "You still see yourself through their eyes." "Is that it?" "No." "I don't." "Right." "Well, I'II bet you $20 your dad didn't make much of you, either." "God, you're easy!" "We've got to get these people out of your head." "Do you understand?" "These people are my family." "I can't just cut them out." "Peter can't use his powers without someone holding his hand." "How can you not punch that face every time you see it?" "He's not Iike that." "He is." "Trust me." "You don't know him." "I don't need to." "I've spent a Iot of time moving around people's homes, their bedrooms." "You get to know people if you see them when they think they're alone." "You see them for what they truly are." "Selfish, deceitful and gassy." "So, what is that, your big truth about the world?" "The sooner you learn it, the sooner we get that collar off your neck." "People suck, friend, every last one of them." "Never forget that." "Not all of them." "Oh, right, there's a girl." "She's not Iike the rest of them." "Everyone's like the rest, that's why they're the rest." "Fine." "Let's go and see what your girl's up to." "Then maybe we can clear your head." "Wait." "Wait." "You want to spy on her?" "Look, you could follow her all you want." "I'm telling you, she's not Iike that." "Well, then no harm in taking a look." "(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)" "Hmm." "This is it, number 36." "Nice pinwheel collection." "You know, I always imagined my parents would live in a penthouse in New York City." "Not some trailer park in Kermit." "So she lives in a trailer?" "Maybe she likes the open road." "Just not what I imagined." "Stop imagining." "She's right there." "What am I supposed to say?" ""Hi, I'm your daughter, and I can re-grow my kidney"?" "I mean, what if she's got burns and scars from the fire." "She's supposed to be dead, right?" "So are you, remember?" "I heard you got that in common." "Hey, where are you going?" "I'm getting rid of your exit strategy." "You'II be fine." "I'II be back in time for fajitas." "claire?" "Yeah." "(GROWLING)" "Hi, little fluffy." "claire home from school yet?" "No?" "We'II just wait." "Now, what's your name?" "(DOOR OPENING)" "SANDRA:" "Mr. Muggles, where are you, baby?" "Mama's home!" "Of course." "Let's go say hi." "Oh!" "I'm sorry." "Who are you?" "I just came from the paper factory, ma'am." "I'm just making a delivery for your husband, and I saw this little guy in the street." "(LAUGHS)" "Now, somebody must have left the backdoor open." "Oh, I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty." "Well, aren't you sweet?" "And he was just out there in the yard?" "Oh." "Just chewing on a sprinkler head." "Hmm." "Who left those doors open, Mr. Muggles?" "claire or Lyle?" "You tell me, so I can tan their ass." "Well, thanks for inviting me in." "I always wanted to see where Mr. Bennet lived." "It is so funny how all y'all call him Mr. Bennet over there." "I've always just known him as..." "Stop that, you." "SANDRA:" "No more shoes." "He just discovered shoelaces." "Can't get enough." "That's funny, I never really imagined him as much of a dog person." "I guess he just Iooms a Iittle larger when he's drilling you." "He mostly talks about claire." "I was hoping to meet her, actually." "I've heard so much about her." "Well, she has promised to be home for dinner, which means a half an hour late." "My son is at a tae kwon do sleepover tonight." "That means an extra plate." "Why don't you stay for dinner?" "Least I can offer my new hero." "Are you sure?" "It's not too much trouble?" "I will call my husband and tell him to expect you." "What did you say your name was again, Mr..." "Sylar." "Oh, I don't think you'II reach him at the office, though." "Last I saw he was just swamped." "I'm staring." "I'm sorry." "(SIGHS)" "I mean, you have to understand." "I never thought this would happen." "You're sitting inches away from me." "You're so beautiful." "Thank you." "Are you a good student?" "I'm okay." "Lousy at math." "No help from me there." "Well, I'II bet you're all kinds of popular." "I was homecoming queen, kind of." "Damn, I missed so much." "If I'd known you were out there, but..." "You must think something awful." "I was so sure that nothing could have survived that fire." "It was a miracle that I did, and..." "God, when I saw that roof..." "Don't question the miracle, right?" "Here, it's horchata." "I Iearned a secret recipe in Mexico." "It's sweet." "You lived in Mexico?" "Mmm-hmm." "Oh, I moved around a Iot." "After I lost you, I sort of started running." "I never really stopped." "I only came back to Kermit a couple of months ago." "I spent some time in Cuernavaca, in La Paz." "You've never been." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Sorry." "It's my mom." "Hi." "Yeah, we're at the aquarium right now." "They just let Zach feed him turtle grass." "We're practically on our way." "We'II be home in, Iike, an hour." "No, I won't let him speed." "Okay, bye." "She doesn't know you're here." "She doesn't really understand what's going on with me right now." "Neither of my parents do." "I'II pretend I understand why you're sneaking around." "AII girls deserve their secrets, right?" "Seems like I have a Iot of them these days." "I have to show you something." "You may understand it, you may not, but..." "I need you to see." "See what?" "I think I know how I survived that fire." "claire, don't!" "It's okay." "please, say something." "Some family." "I told claire to get a move on." "She said she'd be back soon." "A cheerleader, huh?" "Co-captain by junior year." "Wow!" "although not so much these days." "They dissolved the team because of some horrible event at the school." "Oh, I heard about that." "That must have been hard on poor claire." "You are awfully interested in my daughter." "Well, ever since I've seen what she can do," "I guess you could say I'm a fan." "She's really quite gifted." "Oh, you've been to a game?" "Yeah, I guess I have." "I just couldn't get over those irresistible talents of hers." "I should..." "I should check with my husband again." "Excuse me." "I'd rather you didn't, so I can surprise him." "How..." "How did you do that?" "I'm special, just like claire." "Well, different, but you catch the meaning." "It's a shame I'II have to kill her." "But maybe I'II kill you first." "I really haven't decided yet." "(GROANING)" "(GASPING)" "Hi." "Find him." "He dies!" "I don't understand what happened." "Why was he..." "He moved the phone without even touching it." "Shh." "You're safe now." "I'm right here." "I'II find him." "He kept asking about claire." "claire's fine." "She's safe, too, and she'II stay that way." "I promise." "Who is that?" "This is my friend." "He's gonna make everything okay." "He'II help you forget again." "Again?" "What do you mean, "again"?" "It's okay." "Hold my hand." "It'II all be over soon." "MEREDITH:" "You could stay a Iittle longer, have some dinner." "I can't cook worth crap but..." "Well, I was supposed to be home a while ago." "I got about six messages from my dad telling me to come home right away, so..." "He sounded pretty pissed." "Hey." "This isn't goodbye, you know that?" "I was hoping you could tell me about my father." "Well, that's complicated." "Why don't you let me work on that for next time?" "(HORN HONKING) Some family." "Here." "Little something from Mexico." "Oh, no, I can't." "You can, and you're gonna." "It'II look 10 times better on you than it ever did on me." "Isaac?" "(SIGHS)" "We haven't been up here together in a Iong time." "There's something about this roof." "(CHUCKLES) You and I spent a Iot of time up here." "I mean, it's connected with what's happening." "It's important somehow." "Well, it's certainly mysterious." "You know, I never figured out how those pigeons got up here." "My father always said, "If they found their way, we ought to let them be."" "I know we had a Iot together, Isaac, for a Iong time." "You saw it, the painting of us." "It's the future I still hope for." "This city took me in." "Everything important that ever happened to me, happened here." "Good, bad, you." "And now it's all going to be destroyed because I can't stop it." "You don't know that." "It keeps coming back, worse every time." "You saw what this looks like after the bomb." "The world will never recover from that." "That's not true." "You can't lose hope." "(SIGHS) What hope is there?" "There's you, what you can do." "Why else would you be allowed to see the future unless it was to do something about it?" "You can't just see the future, Isaac." "You make it." "You'II find a way." "You really believe that?" "I believe in you." "(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)" "(GROANS)" "(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)" "GUARD:" "Get dressed." "Dressed for what?" "You're going home." "That's not possible." "Oh, it's more than possible." "The charges against you have been dropped, Miss Sanders." "What?" "The D.A. threw out the entire case." "That can't happen." "I killed people." "Well, the state of Nevada isn't so sure about that anymore." "It seems a rather terrible gentleman on death row confessed to all the crimes you're accused of." "DNA evidence backed up everything." "Wonderful system, isn't it?" "As far as they're concerned, justice has been served." "And as far as Linderman is concerned?" "Oh, don't worry about tomorrow's problems today." "No," "I need to be in here." "I need help." "You only need to get dressed, Miss Sanders." "You're going home." "No." "That's the one you love, off to dinner with the guy she left to be with you." "Sort of fickle, don't you think?" "Why would you show me that?" "I didn't show you anything." "She did." "We just followed her, not even very long." "I'm sorry, Peter." "No, you're not." "You enjoyed that." "You've got this rosy film over your eyes, Iike a kid." "It's no wonder you live like an adolescent." "Posters on the wall, hair in your face." "You've got to see the world as it is, it's the only way you'II learn how to save it." "And, what, be like you, a hermit?" "No one knows you're alive except for some pigeons." "You have to get rid of your distractions." "The people I Iove are not distractions." "Then why can't you fly?" "You've done it." "You're body remembers how." "The only thing standing in your way is you." "What am I supposed to do, cut them out of my Iife?" "How cold do you expect me to be?" "Did you forget you're a bomb?" "You've got to remember what this is about, or do you have to ask for your brother's permission for that as well?" "Anything else that I have to do?" "You want to make a list?" "You're a sad cartoon of a broken heart, bleeding all over the place." "I'm just trying to get your mind straight." "Look, I have followed you around and listened to your half-assed wisdom." "You don't have any answers, okay?" "You don't know anything." "You are afraid of the world." "You have to listen to me." "And I am tired of you telling me what I have to do!" "I don't have to do anything!" "Except fly." "(EXCLAIMS)" "Son of a bitch." "Not quite what I was expecting, but hope for the flowers, yet." "You threw me off of a 30-story building." "If I didn't regenerate, I'd be dead." "Well, you could have flown." "Listen, if you hadn't have worked this one out, you'd be hopeless anyway, and I'd have diffused the biggest bomb ever." "But you did it, didn't you?" "You cleared your mind." "You called out your power." "Right before I hit the ground, when I knew what was about to happen, I had this flash in my head of this girl that I met in Texas, this cheerleader." "She had healed herself." "My God, she's this sweet kid, sad little smile, and she just..." "You were wrong." "I don't have to cut her out." "I have to remember her." "How she made me feel." "That's how I..." "Oh." "Oh, God." "It's happening." "I'm losing it." "(SIGHS) Well, it's a start." "Peter?" "(PHONE RINGING)" "Yes." "ISAAC:" "I think I found a way to stop him." "I found him." "Sylar?" "I thought you had Sylar." "I will again, soon." "Do you mean Petrelli?" "Where is he?" "I think he's been here this whole time, and I've been painting him." "Except no one can see him, Iike he's a ghost, or... invisible." "What does that mean?" "It means an old friend isn't quite as dead as we thought he was." "(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)" "Huh?" "Mom, I know it's not our game night, but can we play a game of Scrabble?" "Since you just got home?" "Absolutely." "I owe you, Iike, a dozen." "Just give me a minute, okay?" "Okay." "(BANGING)" "No!" "What are you so mad about, Niki?" "You're the one who wanted to be locked up." "I'm home!" "SANDRA:" "In the kitchen." "You are in big trouble, young lady." "The school called." "Did you think you could ditch, and I wouldn't find out?" "Mom, we talked about it this morning." "Zach and I went to the aquarium." "claire, I think I would remember a conversation about you skipping school." "(MOANS)" "Are you okay?" "Fine, just banged my head on something." "Bit of a headache." "Why don't you let me finish setting the table, and you can go lie down for a Iittle bit?" "Don't think this gets you off the hook." "(PHONE RINGING)" "NATHAN:" "Hello?" "You might not remember me." "We haven't spoken in a Iong time, but... our daughter just found me." "Did you hear what I just said?" "She's alive." "We need to talk, Nathan." "ime." "You saw what this looks like after the bomb." "The world will never recover from that." "That's not true." "You can't lose hope." "(SIGHS) What hope is there?" "There's you, what you can do." "Why else would you be allowed to see the future unless it was to do something about it?" "You can't just see the future, Isaac." "You make it." "You'II find a way." "You really believe that?"
