Previously on Heroes.
All the answers could be behind this door.
I know that guy.
He's running for congress.
What's my father involved with? Is there a problem, Officer? Mr.
Linderman wants to see you.
I've been in love with you since the minute I first laid eyes on you.
Don't hurt yourself.
What are you doing? This is going to happen, right? No! Oh! Claire! Sometimes questions are more powerful than answers.
How is this happening? What are they? Why them and not others? Why now? What does it all mean? Hello.
Is this the hospital? Am I hurt? You are fine.
I was at a bar having a beer.
We had to drug you.
I'm sorry about that.
What? What's going on? Please don't get excited, Matt.
We're trying to test your resting rate.
Just relax.
What are you, the FBI? Huh? The CIA? I'm not part of any organization that has initials.
Listen to me.
Whoever you think I am, believe me, I'm not him.
I'm not I'm not anyone.
Oh, that's not true.
You're someone.
Someone very special.
Who are you people? Are you trying to hear my thoughts, Matt? Not with my friend here.
He's special, too.
I am I'm an LAPD I'm a cop.
Everything you see, by tomorrow it won't matter.
Who's Claire? You're further along than we thought.
Go deep, then clean him out.
What does that mean? What? You are going to die in five weeks then New York will explode.
I think it's best if Micah waited outside.
Mr.
Linderman is willing to forget your debt in exchange for a favor.
What kind of favor? There's a man arriving this afternoon from New York.
A politician who wants some help from Mr.
Linderman.
We're looking for a little insurance on our investment.
And you want me to I'm not a whore.
I think we've established what you are.
Jane Doe.
Roughly 16 years of age.
Pulled out of Red River Creek at approximately 4:00 a.
m.
this morning.
She was naked and she was dragged, likely in attempt to hide the body.
Secondary injuries are postmortem.
Base of the skull was punctured by a broken tree branch.
Appears to be a victim of homicide possibly accidental.
Hello.
Hey! Oh, my God.
I love you, too.
Bye.
Claire! I'm making waffles.
Internal polling shows a three-point bump from last night's speech.
Now, I say we roll the dice and hold off before we get into bed with Linderman.
I can handle Linderman.
He may have owned my father, but he doesn't own me.
Look, man, I don't know about this.
I mean, it just makes me nervous.
It's your job to be nervous.
It's my job to get elected.
In order to do that I need money.
With Linderman's $2 million, we can turn eight points into three and make it a horse race.
Mr.
Petrelli! Excuse me, Mr.
Petrelli.
Mr.
Petrelli, I must speak with you.
Find out about this guy.
Thanks for your vote.
I'm sorry, but Mr.
Petrelli is a very busy man.
Your life may be in danger.
I believe someone is targeting you.
Can you be a little bit more specific? Twelve percent of the electorate strongly opposes me.
Does the name Sylar mean anything to you? I'm sorry, I didn't get your name.
It's Suresh, Dr.
Suresh.
Get rid of him.
Sir, I'm gonna take down your information.
Have you noticed any changes to your physiology? Something outside the norm perhaps? An ability you didn't have before.
Mind reading, spontaneous regeneration.
Please, it is very important that you listen to me.
Keep an eye on this guy.
I don't want this nut job following me to Vegas.
Not a problem.
Have a safe trip.
Fine.
Get him out of here.
I don't want to see his face again.
I know.
They're all around.
They're all around.
They get into You've got to listen.
Last night, before we kissed, you made a toast.
To love.
May we stay away from it when it's not good for us.
I was meaning to ask I wasn't talking about you, clearly.
I know, it's just You and Isaac.
There's coffee in the kitchen.
You think this is one big joke, don't you, Pete? Your buddy, Suresh, he came by my campaign office this morning.
Made a big scene.
He was talking about mind reading and spontaneous regeneration.
Chandra Suresh.
Yeah.
How did he find you? You tell me.
What, you think I called him? Don't insult me.
I've got trained professionals to do that.
Hey, where's your mugs? Hey.
Oh, it's They're in the cabinet with the water stain that looks like Abraham Lincoln.
Okay.
Look, here's some money, all right.
Take it.
You want answers? Go find them.
It's on me.
I need you to disappear for a while, okay? You're becoming a liability.
I'm sorry.
I'm opening a new show at the gallery, and a lot of crazy stuff to deal with.
Is it Isaac's paintings? It's Isaac's paintings.
It's Isaac.
It's his whole "I can paint the future" thing.
What if he can? Paint the future, I mean.
Stranger things, right? No, that's about as strange as it gets.
Take it.
You can bring it back tonight.
Peter, I don't know what this is.
I mean us.
I just got out of a two year relationship that was very destructive, and here I am sleeping with the guy who was taking care of my dying father, and it's a little confusing.
Yeah.
I don't want to be the rebound guy.
I just need time to catch my breath before you take it away again, okay? Okay.
Claire! Breakfast! Would you please tell your daughter to drag her fanny out of bed.
Claire, drag your fanny out of bed.
Claire! Dad, I'm not deaf.
Your mother's making waffles.
Were you out all night? No.
Were you with the quarterback? Yeah.
Yeah, it was just a bunch of us.
It was stupid.
I'm sorry.
Honey, you're going to miss your plane.
Be there in a second.
I'm very disappointed in you.
Nothing happened.
Played poker.
I'm sorry.
I love you, Claire.
I just want you to be honest with me.
You can tell me anything.
You know that.
I know.
I love you, too.
Don't think you're getting away with this staying out all night thing.
There's going to be a throwdown when I get home.
What? Mom said to tell you the waffles are ready.
I'll be there in a sec.
Claire! Waffles! Like such an ass.
I've never been so humiliated in my life.
What would you expect, him to invite you in for tea? Oh, this came for you while you were gone.
It's my father's ashes.
You know, I haven't shed a single tear since my father's death.
Not even when I claimed his body.
They showed me three John Does before they finally found him.
My father was misfiled.
I'm really, really sorry.
And what have I been trying to prove? I've used these theories, the map, this Sylar, all of it.
Just to validate a relationship that ended a long time ago.
I have no business being here.
You're just gonna give up? I'm going home to Madras.
To scatter my father's ashes and go back to my life and stop trying to live his.
I'm looking for Chandra Suresh.
He doesn't live here anymore.
Guys at the Petrelli campaign gave me this address.
They said he came by this morning.
You Chandra Suresh? No, that was my father.
Yeah.
Your father wrote a book about people with abilities.
I think I may be one of them.
Sir, no more bets.
Step back, please.
Winner, black 26.
Thank you.
So.
Hey.
Still looking in the mirror, seeing a you that ain't you? Yup.
Hell, I can relate.
It's called getting old.
A little Botox will do us both some good.
I've been blacking out.
Okay, I wake up, and things aren't like they were.
Like the time you woke up with a couple of dead thugs in your garage? If you think you had something to do with that One of them was torn in half.
Okay, then obviously it wasn't you.
Well, what if it was? I'm having these violent dreams.
I mean really violent, where I am tearing people apart.
But it's not me.
It's someone else in me.
With me.
Do you know what I think? What? I think you saw something.
I think you saw something so horrible, that it broke a part of you.
I mean, what happened in that garage Mom? Want to play Scrabble? Oh, I do.
I really do, but I can't right now.
This is our game night.
I know, and I'm sorry.
But why don't you ask Tina? She reads those romance novels.
I bet she has an excellent vocabulary.
You know what? I do have an excellent vocabulary.
And those novels are the only romance I'm getting these days.
I will take that game and I will challenge you, little man.
You are on.
Why can't you just work at home like usual? Because this job is different.
You've been different.
I know I have.
Come here.
I'm so sorry.
It has not been fair to you, but you have been a trooper.
But I have things under control now.
And I'm just going to do this one thing, and it's going to solve a lot of problems for us.
Then you won't be able to get rid of me.
Fine.
But it's safer over the Internet.
What? I mean, what you do, I mean, in the garage, it's just acting.
None of it's for real.
He sent a limo.
Either he's a crap house rat, as in "crazy as," or he's one of them.
All he's really telling me is that he can't do anything.
Crap house rat.
Don't you want to at least follow the smoke and see if there's a fire? It was a pleasure to meet you.
Good luck with the whole flying thing.
Thanks.
So, when you're with your brother you can fly, and when you're with the artist Isaac.
Yeah.
I only met him once, but after I I drew the future.
And now you can't do either.
Maybe I can only do things when I've around other people who can do things.
Did that sound as lame as I think it did? It sounds like you should be talking to my father.
This was his research, not mine.
Where is he? How do I get a hold of him? He's on the table.
I I'm sorry, but you believe that this is possible.
You have to, you believed it this morning.
What if I prove it to you? Then prove it.
We'll go see Nathan.
When I'm around him I can fly.
I've done it before.
Twice.
Fine.
Let's go see your brother.
Wait, he's in Vegas.
Of course he is.
Then I'll take you to Isaac's.
But it's complicated.
Complicated how? Isaac.
Paintings are by the door.
I thought I was buying the new pieces.
I need the new pieces.
Because they tell you what's going to happen in the future? How much for the old paintings? To tell you the truth, Isaac, I don't know if I could sell those.
So, you only like the ones I painted when I was high.
Interesting.
Won't give me an advance? That depends.
What're you going to do with the money? I need painting supplies.
I take it you're not talking about oils and canvas.
It was raining last night.
What'd you do, Simone? In the rain? You followed me? I drew this seven weeks ago.
I drew him there, and here, before I'd ever met the guy.
Are you in love with him? Looks like you're in love with him.
I don't know how I feel about him.
And I don't know how I feel about you.
So here we are not knowing how we feel about each other, and this entire city is going to go Unless I stop it.
You think you can save us all by shooting up? I can save everybody.
I'm going to be a hero.
Look, you can't say anything.
I'm fine.
I was drunk.
It was an accident.
Which part was an accident, the rape or the murder? It didn't happen.
Yeah, because he killed you before he had the chance.
I'm alive.
Yeah, now, but you weren't on the autopsy table.
Look, you said you had a hole in your head.
Maybe when they pulled out whatever was in there, that's when you, like, rebooted or whatever.
I'm not a hard drive.
No, you're Little Miss Miracle-Gro.
Don't ever call me that again.
You've got to tell somebody about Brody.
No, I don't.
And even if I wanted to, which I don't, I don't have a mark on me.
But you know what happened, and he knows what happened.
All he knows is that he was drunk, and I'm not dead.
Hey, what happened to you last night? I was hoping you'd tell me.
I had way too much to drink.
I I gotta go to the bathroom.
He must have a bladder the size of a pea, because he just went.
Full house! I win again! Thank you.
You're meeting Miss Sakamoto tomorrow at 11:00 a.
m.
But no Linderman? He's quote otherwise occupied.
Occupied.
What is he, a port-a-potty? Don't let Sakamoto geisha you.
Get him in the room.
Okay, I will.
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Are you all right? Yeah.
Oh, so much for Celine Dion.
Just the one ticket? Yeah.
I'm here for a conference, and I really don't like the people I work with, so So, you're traveling alone, are you? I've only met him once, but maybe I ought to do the talking to start.
He's He's kind of a heroin addict.
A heroin addict? You neglected to mention that.
Hey, just suspend the skepticism at least until you meet him.
The default scientific position is skepticism.
Your father managed to get around it.
I don't know.
He took a pretty big leap.
You've got to respect that.
I did more than respect it.
I believed him.
I had to.
I was his son.
Can't be the only reason why you believed him.
Look at what's happening to our planet.
Overpopulation, global warming, drought, famine, terrorism.
Deep down, we all sense that something's not right.
My father always talked about how an entire species will go extinct while others, no more unique or complex, will change and adapt in extraordinary ways.
He had a romantic take on evolution.
And you don't? You're both geneticists.
Which is also evolution.
We're all just variations of the last model.
Yeah.
We're just cheap knock-off's of our fathers.
Isaac.
It's Peter Petrelli.
I'm a friend of Simone's.
Isaac.
Isaac.
Oh, hey, Lori.
Hey.
I saw you go off with Brody Mitchum last night at the bonfire.
So? So, what happened? Nothing.
Nothing happened.
I went off with Brody Mitchum once.
Nothing happened to me, too.
You make a big mistake! Okay.
Hello, boys.
I think you have something that belongs to me.
See, I had three aces at that poker table.
Next thing I know, you two have them.
You better back off.
My friend has very big power.
Can take you all out.
Make you wish you've never been born.
Oh, my God! Look at this view.
Everything looks so pretty when you're up high.
Yes, it does.
Thank you.
Don't you ever think what it would be like to just soar over that desert? Mmm.
I took a helicopter ride over Red Rocks Park one time I wasn't thinking in a helicopter.
I was thinking more like flying.
Flying? You know, if I were your husband, I don't think I'd let you travel alone.
I don't have a husband.
He left.
For another woman? I wish.
Man? I would take that one, too.
He's sort of a criminal, and by "sort of," I mean that he is.
Well, then my questions end there.
Thanks.
Do you have any kids? That's another question.
Right.
One.
Boy genius.
Boy? Boy.
I've got two boys.
Not geniuses, just boys.
It's weird having children.
Isn't it? It's like you've got to be two different people.
Like the person that they see and the person that you really are? Something like that, yeah.
Yeah.
Still married? Yeah, I am.
Happy? Yes, very.
I guess my questions, they stop there.
I can't.
I know.
I know.
I want to.
I do.
I understand, it's okay.
I had a really great time.
Surprisingly.
Thank you.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
It would be a shame to send you back to the congressman covered in bruises.
I have to get home to my son.
And what are you going to tell your son, huh? How are you going to explain to your son what happened to you when you didn't honor your agreement? Look, I will find another way to pay Linderman.
No, let me rephrase that question.
How are you going to explain to your son what happened to him when you didn't honor your agreement? You think about that, Niki.
Niki's not here right now.
If you threaten our son again, I'm going to put my heel through your skull.
Do you understand? Do you understand? Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you forget something? What if we went back tomorrow? Look, I'm not trying to discount your experience.
It's just a week ago I was in my own country, a respected professor.
Now, you want me to stalk a heroin addict who allegedly paints the future.
Mohinder? Yeah, all right.
Catch you later, man.
All right, good practice.
What are you doing here so late? Making banners for spirit week.
Jackie was going to give me a ride home but she left without me.
Can I get a lift? Yeah, I guess.
Thanks.
Hey, you drive a stick shift, right? Can I drive? Don't you think it's a little weird that neither one of us remembers what happened the night of the bonfire? Must have been some night.
Yeah, must have.
Slow down.
That was a red light.
Whoops.
You know how to drive a stick shift, don't you? There's a lot of things that I know.
Like what you did to me.
What'd I do to you? I knew it.
I knew this would happen.
You get drunk, you come on to me and it's my fault? You're a liar.
You can't rape the willing, Claire.
You wanted it as bad as I did.
Stop the car.
Did I want it as bad as Lori Trammel? Lori Trammel is a slut.
Is that what you're going to say about me? I already do.
You're just going to keep at it, aren't you? You should let it go, Claire.
There's nothing you can do about it.
I can do this.
Just take the one.
Peter Petrelli.
How is this happening? I'm sorry if I scared you.
You look different without your scar.
I don't know you, buddy.
Not yet.
My name is Hiro Nakamura.
I'm from the future.
I have a message for you.
