"You're special and I couldn't kill you, even if I wanted to." "That formula could destroy the whole world." "I was just heading out to get the other half of this." "It's not right that you're here." "Tells me the future is not as I have painted it." "You must spirit walk many miles." "I was the one who shot you." "What do I do next?" "You gotta make the right choices." "I'd be honored to serve as junior Senator from New York." "That's not me." "You can't run this story." "No!" "I've called someone to help out and I want them gone." "Mom?" "They're villains, Claire." "I'm one of the only people on the planet that knows enough" "To stop them." "Hurry, hurry." "Jesse!" "Where is he?" "Where'd they go?" "Escaped." "I put him in the body of that guy in that cell right there!" "I need you to look out for someone who looks just like me." "My sons have been such a disappointment." "But you" " I can give you what all boys crave from their mothers." "Inspiration." "Kindness, comfort." "You are not my mother." "But I am, dear." "I should never have given you up for adoption." "But now I'm going to take good care of you..." "Just like a good mother." "My mother?" "Yes." "Because you're right." "You are very special." "And you need to be strong for what's to come." "Bridgett, would you join us, please?" "You want to see me?" "This is Bridgett." "And she has a very special ability." "Any object she touches, she can see its history." "Everywhere it's been." "Everyone who's ever touched it." "What's she gonna do to me?" "Feed you." "In the ongoing search for self there are days when we learn something genuinely new." "Something uncovered." "Hidden." "That we never knew was there." "Something that surprises us." "And on that day of self discovery a question remains." "What kind of person are we?" "Does the hero or the villain inside us win the day?" "Is Tracy here yet?" "No, sir, still no answer." "Where's my brother?" "I don't know." "I'm looking for him too." "And you called me?" "Peter left me a message last night." "But it wasn't his voice." "Nathan, it's Peter." "I'm trapped in the body of this guy." "I just broke out of level five with these... criminals." "I'm trying to get back." "But I'm really afraid they're gonna hurt somebody." "Maybe we should come back at night." "It'll be empty." "That's not exactly the plan now, is it?" "You're terrified, Jesse." "I can feel it." " What's up?" " Nothing." "Nothing, I'm good." "Light it up." "Everyone on the ground now!" "I expected you back earlier, Noah." "All of these prisoners escaped." "Most of whom you put away." "You can take the man out of the company" "Let me be clear." "I'm not here to reenlist." "I'm here to make sure these psychopaths get put back in their cages where they belong." "And then I return to my family." "And our Claire." "I'm gonna need my old partner." "Well, unfortunately the Haitian is unavailable." "He's on a pickup assignment for me." "I can't do this alone." "You know how it works." "One of us, one of them." "Don't worry." "I have the perfect one of them in mind." "Meet your new partner." "Just keep your heads down." "All of you." "Ah-ah-ah." "No alarms." "I'm sorry." "Yeah, you are." "But maybe you can work it off." "I hear that Stockholm syndrome is like Spanish fly." "Leave her alone." "What are you gonna do, Jesse?" "Are you gonna stop me?" "Yeah, I am." "It's open!" "Let's go collect our winnings." "Oh, thank you." "Mom?" "Oh, we don't smoke in the house." "Oh, sorry." "Uh, so, you're Claire's real mom?" "Biological mom." "Your dad asked me to stick around." "Help protect you guys while he's away." "With fire?" "Yeah." "Claire." "You got everything ready to get back to school today?" "I'm not going." "Excuse me?" "Well, it is very clear that my life will never be normal," "So I've decided to stop trying." "You decided?" " Your father and I" " Dad's not here." "He doesn't get a vote." "He's out there protecting all of us." "Yeah, he's out there stopping villains." "Helping people." "Doing the same thing that I should be doing with my life." "You're a 17-year old girl." "Who can't get hurt." "Can't die." "Can't even feel pain." "You just don't understand." "I think that what Claire is trying to say here is that when you're like us" "Meredith, I'm thrilled that you're here to protect us" "But I know how to talk to my daughter, thank you." "Claire..." "Get ready for school... now." "You expect me to work with this animal after what he did to my daughter?" "Your granddaughter?" "He nearly killed her." "She can't die." "You really don't understand her, do you?" "Noah." "We just let a dozen criminals out into a world that is grossly unprepared to deal with them." "So your solution is to send a psychopath after the psychopaths?" "He is the perfect partner." "And he can't be killed anyway." "You know that." "He's a murderer." "Then you and Gabriel have more in common than you care to admit." "He's been misunderstood." "He just needs structure." "And you're the perfect person to give it to him." "And if I refuse?" "I can't make you do anything you don't want to, but I am going to put" "Gabriel in play." "It's your call whether or not it's under your supervision." "Nemesis." "Stop calling me that." "My name is Daphne." "And why are you two following me?" "You know why." "I want my father's formula back." "That?" "Too late." "It's been delivered and paid for." "I'm on to the next half." "There is another half?" "There's supposed to be some sort of exchange going down at this theater and I'm waiting to intercept." "You're telling us your plan?" "What kind of overconfident nemesis are you?" "You're 0 for 2 against me, Pikachu." "That's just regular confidence." "Pikachu?" "We will find the other half of the formula before you and we will save the world." "Yeah." "Good luck with that." "I'm slow." "What did you do?" "Whatever." "I don't need powers to beat you two losers." "Well, that went well, don't you think?" "Welcome to the Bennet household." "Well, what is with this new superhero kick anyway?" "There are bad people out there." "I just feel like I should help." "Sure you wanna help people, huh?" "I keep trying to be normal... fit in." "But I just end up the victim." "Your mom told about your attack." "You feel like talking about it?" "I just wanna move past it and I wanna do something." "Fight them." "How you gonna do that, huh?" "How you gonna learn how to fight?" "Well, I was hoping you could teach me." "Hop in." "We're gonna play hooky today." "It's open." "Had my swearing in this morning." "You kinda missed it." "Everything okay?" "You called me Niki Sanders yesterday." "Then..." "A reporter shows me this." "Last year at the Corinthian Hotel in Las Vegas." "Just tell me who the hell she is." "I still kinda think that's you." "I'm just waiting for this all to make sense." "It's not me." "Look, I'm trying to find her." "Talk to her." "All I can get is an address in New Orleans." "Tell me what you know about her." "You're really not Niki Sanders?" "I need to go to New Orleans." "This is all of it." "Let's move." "How in the hell did they know we were here?" "Probably because I called them." "You what?" "It wasn't just about the money." "In fact, it was mostly about revenge." "It was only about the money for me." "That's why I'm going to take mine and leave before the company shows up." "The company is supposed to show up..." "While I got all these scared people powering me up." "Hey, we got what we need, let's just get outta here." "You scared too, aren't you?" "What the hell are you doing?" "He was gonna ruin your plan." "Yeah, what is the plan exactly?" "Stay put, raise hell." "And wait for the man the company sends when super people do bad things." "And after he gets here, then I'll beat his horn-rimmed glasses right into this skull." "Right, Jesse?" "Hey, man." "This spirit walk..." "How long's it last?" "It's your spirit walk, Parkman." "Not mine." "Why the hell was I teleported to Africa?" "For that matter, how do you know my name?" "From your badge." "From my ba" "You mean my police badge?" "When I was a boy I went on the spirit walk... to find truth." "To hunt." "But my spirit animal tell me to gather... berries." "Many colors." "They were my paint." "And you were my subject, Parkman." "So you learned everything about me from this painting?" "This I paint when I was a boy." "I'm not a boy anymore." "It fits." "Good." "Are you really my mother?" "You've always understood on some level that you weren't the son of a watch repairman and a woman who collects hummel figurines." "He's right, I'm" "A killer, that's all I am." "No, it's not your fault." "It's your ability." "There's a hunger that you cannot control." "It's made you that way." "But we're gonna fix that." "I think I've just found a few of them." "They made the news." "Police were called in for what was described as" ""an incredible scene" when four gentlemen came in to rob the First Federal Bank in Poughkeepsie, New York, this morning." "One of the robbers was equipped" " Peter." " with what appeared to be a flame thrower." "He's in the body of one of those escapees." "Which one?" "Jesse." "Does he have Jesse's ability?" "If he does, he doesn't know what it is." "Police have called in S.W.A.T. Teams and hostage" "Is he ready?" "Police have made several attempts to make contact..." "Domo arigato." "That's all the Japanese I know." "What're you guys looking at anyway?" "Go away." "We were here first." "You can't call dibs." "Can too." "Dibs." "Why are you doing this?" "Do you want the world to end?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "I work for a guy, I find stuff, he pays me." "Simple as that." "You're doing this for money?" "Is your friend always so self-righteous?" "Hiro takes his job very seriously." "And what are you, like, his sidekick?" "Partner." "Like Robin to his Batman." "I understand what you're doing." "Hiro's my best friend." "We will never leave each other's side." "Hiro?" "This is my life." "I mean, it happened exactly like this." "Future can only be the future for so long." "Then it becomes the present." "Except for this one." "I-I don't remember this." "This must be my future future." "It was." "But not anymore." "The future has... changed." "Yeah, changed to what?" "Come on." "You can't just tell a guy that his future is changed and not" "Hey, man, come on." "Are you even listening to me?" "So what if he doesn't show?" "He always does." "He's like Santa Claus." "And then we're gonna get our payback." "I don't think I want it anymore." "I sat in a cell next to you month after month." "This is all you talked about." "One-stop shopping, revenge, and retirement." "About being free." "I never told you but you gave me hope." "Probly saved my life." "Yeah, but we're free now." "Why do you wanna tempt fate?" "What are you so afraid of?" "I just don't wanna go back." "Don't like feeling trapped, powerless." "I just wanna get back to my own life." "Yeah, I bet you can't wait to get to your family and friends in Detroit." "Yeah, exactly." "Except Jesse's family's from Vegas." "And he ain't got no friends." "So who the hell are you?" "You do realize she's playing us, don't you?" "This is all one big game to her." "Maybe." "But aren't you curious to see how it all plays out?" "So how do we do this?" ""We" do nothing." "I take care of the escapees and Petrelli." "That sounds like a one-sided partnership." "We're not partners." "You just stay close and keep your mouth shut." "Who the hell's in charge around here?" "What are you doing?" "I'm Lieutenant Chory." "Who are you?" "Special Agent Andrew Hanson, FBI." "Lieutenant, you mind telling me why these barricades aren't 30 feet further back?" "You want the media up our ass?" " Sir, I'm in the middle" " Are you just trying to get one of these looky-loo civilians killed?" "You heard the man!" "Back the horses up!" "All hands!" "We're gonna need some coffee." "Decaf." "Let's go!" "Three feet on the other side." "You drink decaf, right, Noah?" "Told you." "Somebody put me in his body against my will." "I swear." "Then why'd you come along with us?" "You had plenty of chances to bail." "You said you were gonna hurt people." "I couldn't let that happen." "Now I know you're full of it." "Nobody's that heroic." "The formula hasn't been moved in years." "Why now?" "Given recent events, Mrs. Petrelli deemed it wise to keep her half closer to home." "Are we going in?" "I am." "You're waiting out here." "Well, what's that gonna protect you from?" "Nothing." "It's for show." "And you're going in without your gun too?" "Knox wants me unarmed." "He says he'll release the hostages." "You do realize they're not gonna let you out alive?" "Well, that's very touching." "A monster cares about my well being." "Well, you're so concerned with proving that you're better than me that you're willing to get yourself killed." "I am better than you." "I can help." "Let me do something." "All right, debrief the hostages." "Use that silver tongue of yours to diffuse their stories" "But under no circumstances, are you to go anywhere near that buffet in there." "Got me?" "Yeah." "Hello?" "Mom?" "You're not my mother." "No, I'm not." "Your mom and I look so much alike." "But I don't know anything about her." "God, I imagine this is so strange for you." "Yeah, kind of." "I should go." "I'm sorry." "You look just like her." "Are you special too, like my mom?" "I'm not sure what you mean." "She had a power." "She was super strong like the Hulk." "It's okay if you don't wanna talk about it." "It was hard for my mom to handle at first too." "Gets easier though." "Are you special too, Micah?" "I can talk to machines." "You can talk to machines?" "Yeah." "Maybe I can help you get some of your answers." "What's your last name?" "Uh, Strauss-- two S's." "I can cross-reference every bit of information on both you and my mom." "Just one match." "You were both born in the same hospital in California." "Same day." "Same doctor too." "Dr. Zimmerman." "Now you know one thing about her." "Goodbye." "I've got it." "I've been looking everywhere." "I believe this is my briefcase." "No, you are mistaken." "This is mine." "Wait." "We call someone." "Usher!" "Movie usher!" "No, hold on." "Please!" "Ah!" "Popcorn?" "You took away my life." "You're a criminal, Knox." "Criminals get trials and lawyers." "Me, I got stuck in super-Guantanamo." "You got a bum rap, is that it?" "I think you get off being judge, jury, and executioner." "Now it's my turn." "Knox." "You don't have to do this." "You can walk away." "You're free now." "Shut up!" "I'm done listening to you!" "No!" "No one dies today!" "Listen to me!" "You." "What the hell did you do?" "I came to find you." "Get you outta here." "Outta here?" "Then we need to stop this." "He's in trouble." "The world is in trouble." "Don't you get it?" "You need to listen to me." "You shot my brother." "Trapped me." "Why should I believe a thing you say?" "You're right." "I need to show you." "Thanks, Peter." "You okay?" "Peter's not here anymore." "Where are we going?" "You wanna learn, right?" "Lock the door." "Are you sure you wanna do this?" "All right, we'll start at the beginning." "Survival." "I've already mastered survival." "I need to learn how to fight." "There are some things you can't fight, Claire." "Looks like the man with the plan just ran out of options." "Turn yourself in." "Nobody has to get hurt." "Who the hell do you think you are?" "Just a guy with a partner standing right behind you." "I told you to stay put!" "You told me that to make sure I wouldn't, didn't you?" "What's this supposed to prove?" "I've walked through fire before and I haven't gotten burned." "You've never been burned?" "I'm indestructible." "I can't feel pain." "You ever suffocate?" "'Cause I would imagine the air is getting pretty thin in here." "Why are you doing this?" "Why do you wanna stop bad guys?" "I told you." "To help people." "That's what you keep saying." "But I don't believe you." "Do you know what waterboarding is, Claire?" "No!" "It's a method of torture." "You're not drowning but your body tells your mind that you are." "You think yore gonna die." "Trapped, you panic." "Trapped." "Does that remind you of anything?" "Stop it!" "Turn it off!" "Is this how it was with Sylar, huh?" "You're indestructible but you couldn't get away, right?" "Well, that must have made you feel trapped." "Helpless." "Please stop!" "I can't" "Why do you wanna stop bad guys?" "To help people!" "I don't believe you." "You tell me why." "To hurt him, okay!" "To hurt him for what he did!" "Like he hurt me." "What do we do now?" "Now I get him patched up and tell the locals that these are federal prisoners and we get them back to level five." "Yeah, okay." "What are you doing?" "He's getting away!" "You were right." "I am just a killer." "No." "No, you don't have to do this." "She's right." "You don't have to do this." "You can fight it." "No." "I don't think I can." "It's the hunger." "I'm sorry I tricked you like that." "I just did it for your own good." "Right." "It's only been a couple of days since you went through all that." "You got a really good family." "You got a nice home." "I know." "You're right." "You don't just wake up one day and know what life's all about." "You know, you gotta build it brick by brick." "And you gotta learn to save yourself before you can save the world." "The ain't nothing wrong with just being a 17-year old girl for a while." "You got that?" "Yeah." "I got that." "Come here." "Who is she?" "What happened to her?" "It's your future, Parkman." "Not mine." "Yeah." "We cannot understand these things." "This is it." "This is it." "I can feel it." "This is the reason I'm here." "My spirit walk." "So that means" "I can stop that from happening, right?" "You really want to know?" "School just called." "Claire didn't show up today." "You know anything about that?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "You know, I just thought that since" "You don't get to do that." "Think about Claire." "That's me." "Not you." "I'm the one who's been here." "Changed her diapers, checked her spelling." "Me, not you." "Sandra, I'm not trying to" "Do you think this is a game?" "She just got attacked." " Hurt." " Yeah, that's right." "And she's looking to push back." "And there's nothing you can do to stop that." "In fact, smothering her, that's the best way to drive her away real quick." "Don't you ever assume to know anything about me and my dauhter." "I just did what I thought was best to keep her here." "Safe." "I got it." "You ready?" "One second." "I totally forgot about the cheerleader sleepover retreat." "I'm sorry." "Is it... cool?" "Sure." "Barbara?" "No, my name is Tracy Strauss." "Are you Dr. Zimmerman?" "The one from Beverly Hills, huh?" "Come in." "How do you know I'm from Beverly Hills?" "Do you know me?" "Know you?" "I created you." "No, don't think it's working." "Here." "Try this." "And as the search for self continues we look for answers everywhere." "In nature." "In God." "In tiny tragedies that may never be understood." "But still, we are driven to it." "Single-minded on one goal." "To find our purpose on this earth." "No Matter what the ramification..." "The friendships that may be hurt..." "Or the deals with the devil we need to make." "I guess you were wrong about me." "We'll see." "Am I being replaced?" "Only for a while." "Just until I find his weakness." "And then I'm gonna kill him."
