"Previously on Heroes." "Help us take down Building 26." "Danko's men are killers." "Just let it go, guys." "I'm not going with you, Peter." "Maybe you're ready to move on, but I'm not." "I'm not ready to forgive myself." "Not yet." "Thank God!" "Hi." "There's a van down the street filled with agents." "I can hold them off for now, but I got to get the two of you guys out of here." "I can't go with you." "Why not?" "I have to go back, I have to face them, and I have to end this, or we cannot have a life together." "Wait." "Can you do it without leaving..." "Who are you?" "I can be anything I want." "When the President agrees to meet with me, when he agrees to shake my hand, real change will come to this country." "How is he doing this?" "He's a shape-shifter." "And now he's one handshake away from being the most powerful man on Earth." "I just have to make sure that he doesn't meet the President first." "I'll go with you." "I started this, Pete." "I gotta end it." "There are nearly seven billion people on this planet." "Each one unique, different." "What are the chances of that?" "And why?" "Is it simply biology, physiology that determines this diversity?" "A collection of thoughts, memories, experiences that carve out our own special place?" "Or is it something more than this?" "Perhaps there's a master plan that drives the randomness of creation." "Something unknowable that dwells in the soul and presents each one of us with a unique set of challenges that will help us discover who we really are." "You okay?" "Did you have a dream?" "It's Nathan." "What about him?" "He's..." "He's what?" "In trouble." "He's not the only one." "What is it, Noah?" "That construction work we passed about a mile back wasn't real." "There's gonna be a road block half a mile or so ahead." "This is where you get out." "Okay." "Head two miles in that direction, and then follow the surface streets into the city." "What are you gonna do?" "I'm gonna buy you some time." "Here." "It's a secure line." "I will find you." "Get to Nathan and make sure it is him." "He'll be on Sylar's trail by now." "But, Dad..." "Listen to your father." "I love you, Claire-bear." "Is there a problem, Officer?" "What are you doing?" "I told you." "I need you to be Taub." "I'm not interested in what you need anymore." "Such a waste." "You could've been so helpful." "Just didn't know your place." "Agent Gordon, send that cleanup crew..." "That hurt." "Shape-shifting." "Gotta love it, right?" "The changes don't just happen on the outside, either." "You remember that little off switch in the back of my head?" "I moved it." "Go ahead, get it over with." "My men will be here any second to collect Petrelli." "I know." "I've got plans for them." "Hell, I have plans for all of us." "You gonna kill him?" "Later." "Right after I absorb all of his memories." "It's a little ability Angela Petrelli fed me like a snack." "Because Nathan, and by Nathan, I mean I have a rendezvous with destiny tomorrow." "President's giving a speech at the Stanton Hotel." "Senator Petrelli's going to be there to have a little meeting with him right afterwards." "What for?" "Nothing." "Just to shake his hand." "Then when I do, I'm gonna be the most powerful man in the world." "Then you better kill me now, because there's no way I'm gonna let that happen." "No, I don't need to kill you." "Because in 30 seconds, there's not a person on this planet who'll believe a word you say." "Man down!" "Man down!" "I got him." "He's in here." "You son of a bitch." "You think there's a chance he didn't get caught?" "Noah?" "No." "That was his plan all along." "I don't know how my dad always manages to get himself in the middle of everything." "Because he puts himself there, mostly because of you." "You have no idea the lengths a parent will go to ensure the safety of their child." "Something I hope you never have to find out for yourself." "Now, this is where I get off." "What do you mean?" "I just wanted to make sure you got here safely." "I'm not going in there with you to see Nathan." "Why not?" "Because I need to go find Matt Parkman." "Is this about your dream?" "In it, Parkman saves Nathan's life." "Okay, so why don't you just come up and warn Nathan, and tell him how to avoid danger?" "That's not how it works." "I cannot change what I dreamed." "But I can help push its outcome." "Now, you go find Nathan, and I will find you later." "Nathan." "Wake up." "Hey, wake up." "We want to be convincing when we meet the President today, right?" "I'm gonna need all those sick little twisted memories of yours." "Such a lightweight." "To hell with it." "I've got plenty of memories from all this stuff you've got lying around here, anyway." "Your diploma says you graduated with honors from Annapolis." "These cufflinks tell me a different story." "Politicians." "Sir." "Someone here to see you." "She claims to be your daughter." "Oh, right." "Send her in." "Claire." "I'm glad you finally made it." "I was beginning to get worried about you." "Did you find him?" "Sylar?" "Yeah." "But he got away." "He's going to the Stanton Hotel to meet the President in an hour." "I'm going to intercept the President first and warn him." "And tell him what?" "That Nathan Petrelli has a look-alike?" "If I have to, yeah." "Blow the lid off this whole thing." "I'm gonna do whatever it takes to shut down Building 26." "And how do I know this is you?" "What are you talking about?" "How do I know you're not Sylar?" "Claire." "I'm me." "We've spent a lot of time together over the past few days." "Mexico." "I was beginning to think you knew me better than anyone else." "Sorry." "That's all right." "Listen, why don't you stay here?" "I've got a car taking me to the Stanton Hotel." "Lay low until I can clean this whole mess up." "No, I wanna come with you." "In case anything goes wrong." "It's not going to be safe." "So what?" "I can't get hurt." "And I need to help stop Sylar." "It's time I put myself in the middle of this and made a difference." "I was thinking exactly the same thing." "You're right." "If things do go south," "I want you right there." "Right by my side." "I got him." " Come on." " Let's go." "All right, bring him this way." "Fancy meeting you here." "I'll bet you're happy to see me." "Sylar." "We gotta stop him." "Whoa!" "Lot of help you're going to be." "Okay, let's hear it." "The lecture, the finger wagging, the general "I told you so."" "I screwed up." "Refused to listen." "And then you got into bed with Sylar." "That's all over now." "Clearly." "That's very Zen of you." "No, it's practical." "If we get out of here, we're going to have to throw everybody and everything we have at Sylar, try to get a spike into the back of his head." "Spike's not going to cut it anymore." "He moved the spot." "Great." "How the hell did you do it?" "Deal with all of this." "You can't capture all of them, can't contain them." "There are no rules." "Not even gravity." "It's all about spinning plates." "Living in the gray area." "So many years of middle management, it becomes second nature." "So in 20 years, I'll get it?" "Twenty years and an adopted daughter." "If I didn't have Claire, I'd be following the same dogma that took you right over the edge." "I'd be exactly in your position." "You are exactly in my position." "Yeah." "We should do something about that." "Together?" "Hiro." "Hmm?" "Holy crap." "Hiro." "Hiro." "Is this a trick?" "I don't know." "No guards." "Something's very wrong here." "Hiro." "Let's go." "Hiro, what happened?" "We are rescuing you." "I'll try to repay you later." "But right now we have to get out of here as soon as we can." "Are you okay?" "No, he's not." "He has nosebleeds and headaches from stopping time." "I'm fine." "You're a doctor, right?" "You can help him." "Here." "Open your eyes wide." "Your pupils are dilated." "Do you have any stiffness in your left arm, or dizziness?" "Yes." "But Bruce Wayne only slept two hours a night." "Hiro." "Hiro." "These abilities allow us to do superhuman things, but you are still human." "And your human body is rejecting these powers, like a virus." "But this power, it is what makes me strong." "My destiny." "You can't freeze time again." "Do you understand?" "Thanks." "So, what's the plan?" "We just tell them the President's in danger?" "That'll just send him down a rabbit hole." "Then Sylar can become a rabbit." "Just gotta play it close to the vest." "Follow my lead, okay?" "Nathan." "It's good to see you, man." "This is my daughter, Claire." "Claire, this is Liam..." "Samuels." "President's Chief of Staff." "I live in America." "Your dad and I barely survived boarding school together." "Barely." "Listen, I really appreciate the President giving me some time this afternoon." "Sure." "He just stepped up on stage, speech usually clocks in at about 90 minutes." "Whatever works for him." "But I'd like to stick around close by." "Absolutely." "We've got a suite upstairs." "Come here." "Do me a favor, sign in right here, and Frank will show you how to get up there, all right?" " Okay." " Nice to meet you." "You, too." "I thought you were right-handed." "Ambidextrous." "I bat righty." "Throw lefty." "You coming?" "Prisoners are gone." "The entire unit's been captured." "Seeing as how your unit was trying to kill us, I think we caught a break." "How the hell did this happen?" "I tried to tell you before this whole thing started." "Your men alone are never going to be a match for people with abilities." "You sure this will work?" "The Tasers didn't work on Sylar, but one shot of this will put an elephant down." "The trick is getting close enough to the elephant." "Hiro." " Hiro." " Call 911." "I gotta get to the Stanton." "I gotta stop Sylar." "Go." "We'll stay with him." "Hello?" "Thank God." "Where are you?" "I'm with Nathan." "Are you sure it's him?" "Oh, it's him." "Don't worry." "How do you know?" "Because it's me." "God, this is fun." "Don't you love a good pinot?" "My dad's on his way." "He's gonna stop you, and then I'm gonna kill you." "No." "Actually, I'm gonna kill him." "Or have you kill him." "I haven't decided yet." "Don't give me that look." "Everybody dies sometime." "Well, almost everybody." "Pappa Petrelli, Momma Bennet, Mr. Muggles." "What's your brother's name again?" "Larry?" "Lyle." "Lyle." "Right." "He's gonna die, too." "As we speak, my father is dying." "Did I tell you I got to meet my real dad?" "Boy, was that a disappointment." "Have you ever stopped to think about how much we have in common, Claire?" "You were adopted." "I was adopted." "You can't die." "I can't die." "You can die." "I'll make sure of it." "You'll get bored, after, like, 100 years of trying to off me, watching all of your loved ones drop like flies." "You may eventually come to forgive me." "Maybe you'll even love me." "I'll keep trying to kill you for the rest of my life." "Well, everybody needs a hobby." "I mean, I'm not saying there aren't bridges that need to be built, but if we start building them now, who knows?" "You could be my first First Lady." "I'm sorry, Senator, there's a full lockdown." "No one gets in or out without talking to Mr. Samuels." "You better talk to Mr. Samuels." "I have Senator Nathan Petrelli requesting access to the building." "Is there a problem?" "He says you're already inside." "If you're here, then who the hell's up in that suite?" "And I can either know now or after we take him down." "You're not gonna do that." "You send your men up there, and they will die." "He's right." "His name is Sylar, he's extremely dangerous." "And he's a target?" "He's one of them?" "He's one of them." "He..." "I gotta stop saying that." "He's one of us." "He's one of us." "It's all right." "Liam." "I've been lying to the President." "I've been lying to myself." "And I will take full responsibility for my crimes when the day comes." "But today we're gonna course correct." "There's a man in that suite upstairs." "He needs to be stopped." "And how do you suggest we do that?" "You don't." "We do." "Sylar can only be stopped by people like us." "My brother can do whatever Sylar can do, we just have to get him close enough to touch him." "Just give us a five-minute head start." "That's all I'm asking." "I'll take him high, you take him low." "Let's cut the son of a bitch in two." "I love you, Pete." "You know that?" "'Course." "Love you, too, Nathan." "Ready." "Go." "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "Where did they go?" "The window." "Can you fly after them?" "I can't." "Come on, we have to find them." "Come on." "Claire's gonna be so mad at me." "It's about time." "Mrs. Petrelli, what are you doing here?" "Waiting for you." "How did you find me?" "I had a dream." "Nathan's in trouble." "Something terrible happened to him." "And then you save him." "I don't know how, all I know is you have to come with me." "I can't." "I'm sorry." "My dreams don't lie, Mr. Parkman." "Now, I need you to come with me." "I came here to stop those agents from coming after us." "I need to be able to go back to my boy and know he can live his life without being hunted." "I'm sorry about Nathan." "Then we want the same thing." "And without Nathan, none of that is possible." "You don't have to read minds to know that." "Come with me." "We should separate here." "You go that way." "I'll look for Nathan over here." "Hold it." "Noah?" "You tell me that's Claire, not Sylar." "I just fought Sylar, okay?" "That is Claire." "Put the gun down." "Dad." "It's me." "Did you take his power?" "Yeah." "So we can stop him." "Freeze!" "On the ground!" "The President's life is in danger." "You want him to live, you need to listen to us." "I said on the ground!" "You can either listen to me now, or I'll tell you after you shoot me." "They were here." "Peter and Nathan." "I'm sorry." "Only authorized personnel beyond this point." "This is a Secret Service badge." "You're gonna let us through." "Sorry." "You guys go ahead." "You don't want to see this." "No, I need to." "No, I need to." "Mrs. Petrelli, wait." "I need to." "Nathan?" "Nathan?" "Please." "No." "No!" "No!" "I don't understand." "My dream." "You were supposed to save him." "This way, Mr. President." "Nathan." "Is that you?" "Of course it's me." "We're getting the President out through the basement." "I can't give you any more time." "That's all right." "You don't have any more time to give." "This way, Mr. President." "Thank God you're all right, sir." "The Secret Service did a hell of a job today." "And so did you." "Bet you didn't think I took that one from you." "This is insane." "This will never work." "You'll make it work." "It's the only way." "And it has to be right now." "I don't know how much time I bought sending Peter and Claire after Nathan." "Why don't you just chain him up?" "Or tranq him." "Isn't that what you guys love to do?" "I don't want to be a part of this." "Thought you came back to protect your family, Matt." "I did." "But what you're asking me to do is crazy." "Who will convince the President the whole thing was a mistake?" "Without Nathan, nothing's going to change." "Word gets out that a person with abilities murdered a US Senator, you're gonna have 100 Dankos out there." "Even if I could do what you're asking me to do, he would never really be Nathan." "He'd always be Sylar." "Sylar can absorb all of Nathan's memories, and the entire history of anything he touches will fill in the gaps." "Physically, no one will ever know the difference." "It'll be permanent." "Look." "The last thing in the world I want is to see that son of a bitch still alive, and I have to lie to my family about it." "But we need Sylar to be Nathan Petrelli again." "Matt." "You don't do this, Nathan is gone forever." "And how do we explain what happened to him?" "There's a body in deep freeze in Building 26." "It's identical to Shape-shifter." "Your son, Mr. Parkman." "You just wanted to protect him." "Can you honestly tell me that if something happened to him, you wouldn't do anything, anything, to keep him in your life?" "I can't lose Nathan." "Not like this." "I'm begging you." "You're no longer Sylar." "No longer Gabriel Gray." "That life is over." "Sylar's dead." "You're no longer Sylar." "You're no longer Sylar." "No longer Gabriel Gray." "That life is over." "Sylar is dead." "You're now Nathan Petrelli." "Nathan Petrelli, son, brother, father." "Senator Nathan Petrelli." "Ma?" "We are all connected." "Joined together by an invisible thread, infinite in its potential and fragile in its design." "Yet, while connected, we are also merely individuals." "Empty vessels to be filled with infinite possibilities." "An assortment of thoughts, beliefs." "A collection of disjointed memories and experiences." "It's a new beginning, Mom." "Can I be me without these?" "Can you be you?" "I take it the President agreed to it?" "Funding, resources, deniability." "I told them I found just the man to head up our new..." "What were we gonna call it?" "I always liked "the Company"." "I can't believe he's really dead." "He's really dead, Claire." "He really is." "And if this invisible thread that holds us together were to sever, to cease, what then?" "What would become of billions of lone, disconnected souls?" "Therein lies the great quest of our lives." "To find." "To connect." "To hold on." "For when our hearts are pure and our thoughts in line, we are all truly one, capable of repairing our fragile world and creating a universe of infinite possibilities." "You're number four." "I haven't heard from you in weeks." "I was beginning to worry." "Nathan?" "Sorry, Ma." "Just haven't felt like myself lately." "Don't be ridiculous." "This is a great time for you, Nathan." "The world's your oyster." "We've put all that nonsense behind us." "The family's back together." "This is your time." "Now, come on, we're going to be late for lunch." "Nathan, have you heard a word I've said?" "It's just this clock." "It's running a minute and a half fast." "So, lunch?" "Italian?" "Chinese?"
