Heroes Unmasked (2007) s01e11 Episode Script
The Invisible Touch
Like father like son, destiny has chosen Mohinder Suresh for something great.
An unlikely comic book hero, he may not be able to fly or walk through walls, but he's far from ordinary.
He may have found answers in his search for the truth, but now his world has been turned upside down.
This quest, this need to solve life's mysteries.
In the end, what does it matter when the human hearth can only find meaning in the smallest of moments.
Mohinder Suresh is the narrator of the show.
Be kind of book-end each episode with voice-over.
Where does it come from? This quest agents of our destiny This need to solve life's mysteries capable of determining our own fate.
But have we truly the question of good and evil reduce to one simple choice: You do not choose your destiny he chooses you.
My character is kind of the audience's eyes to the whole thing.
He's the seeker, he's looking for the truth.
They say that man uses only a tenth of his brain power.
Another percent, then we might actually be worthy of God's image.
Unless, of course, that day has already arrived.
He has two purposes: A) Find out who killed his father, and B) What are the reason his father was killed, which is his research, which was all this people developing these abilities all over the world.
Was it right? And then so where are all these people, how do we find them? He so wants to believe that what his father was doing was right, everybody thought that Suresh's father was completely insane.
I'm your friend, Chandra, but you sound like a madman.
Well, all great thinkers were said to be madmen in their time Darwin, Einstein, Gandhi.
Darwin was not ridiculed by his university's biology round table.
His son now has to go in fulfil the father's legacy, and the father's destiny.
I need to know why he died, I need to know that it wasn't all for nothing.
And then I need to finish what he started.
Therein lies a tremendous classic archetypal journey for this character.
And that's literally this Suresh character's journey for the entire season.
For years he'd been working on a mathematical theorem using human genomes and DNA migration patterns.
He thought he could find a way to identify these people, the ones who were special.
I never believed it was possible.
So with Mohinder living in the shadow of his father's genetic theories, whether it's genomes or algorithms, telekinesis or time travel.
When it comes to Heroes, are we talking science facts or is it a ride loaded on science fiction? It is some of the stuff of science fiction, but at the same time there is it's grounded.
First of all in the idea of the human genome project.
That's a real project, he's been running for well over a decade now, and it's actually succeeded in mapping the human genome.
The genome is really the list of instructions that tell you how to build a human.
I think it rings true with people, that we're some how at a point in our evolutionary process that feels like it needs to be taken to the next evolutionary round.
Matt Parkman is telepathic, which means that he can read people's thoughts.
Loser I'm nailing your wife and she is so fine.
One of the main themes in Heroes is that there has been a jump in evolution and brains have suddenly got more powerful.
Brains emit waves of electromagnetic radiations, that are just like light, essentially, but a different wavelength.
And you can suddenly pick that up, so you could just possibly imagine that someone could evolve someway of picking up the radiations that does indeed come out our brains, and maybe you could make some sense of it.
Hiro.
Einstein told us you can travel as far as you want, forward in time.
So you could, and we do, travel into the future.
There's nothing stopping you travelling millions of years into the future.
And we know exactly how to do that, you just have to travel close to speed of light.
I think I've looked avail to fly, for that that's one of the things I think it's completely impossible.
So actually, I probably, even I'm a scientist, like some of the more impossible things.
Back on set, neighbor Eden McCain proves she is an invaluable part of Mohinder's continuing journey.
But is she more than just a shoulder to cry on? And, action! It's my father's ashes.
You know, I haven't shed a single tear since my father's death.
They showed me three John Does before they finally found him.
I'm really, really sorry.
I, for one, do thing that they had genuine feelings for each other.
There was a definite connection between these two guys.
But their connection couldn't last for long, as Eden's double life brought her face to face with the fearsome Sylar.
I do know you, don't I? I lived next door to Chandra Suresh.
We know now that she's working with H.
R.
G.
, we find that out in this episode, he sends her after me.
That wonderful ability.
You knew what I was, and you let it continue.
In a way, you helped me.
And after I've consumed your power, you'll help me even more.
She more or less has the power of persuasion.
She could tell you to do anything, and you would do it.
Eventually Sylar has accumulated too many abilities for her to take him on.
Oh, Eden, you know that won't hurt me.
Bye bye, Eden.
That was a bummer.
The turning point for Mohinder is when he goes back home to India.
But there were a few home comforts to be found, as Mohinder learned a life-changing secret.
Mohinder, you had a sister.
Finding out that Mohinder had a sister was bizarre and then finding out that she actually got a power.
Well, why didn't I know this? Because it was too painful to talk about, especially for your father.
It makes sense by the end of the season, as to why that was the case, and why Mohinder needed to know about it.
Not only I had to do this for my father, I needed to do it for Eden too.
And that gives one more emphatist to go out there and prove that these theories are right.
And save this people.
But on his return to American soil, a blast from the past was there to welcome him home.
Hope you don't mind, I let myself in.
The last time I saw you more or less I though: "You were trying to kill me".
And for all I know, you're gonna do that right now.
We need to help each other, Dr.
Suresh.
You need me, don't you? I'm gonna keep on doing what I'm doing.
And if you have a problem with that, then you should probably trying and kill me.
Because if you don't, I'll do it to you.
If and when I do figure out this list, the first thing I'm going to do is warn these people.
About you.
Together, we could actually make a difference.
Sorry, not interested.
The next time there's a new hero in town who doesn't want to be on anyone's list.
Hey you! - You! - You can see me.
Nobody can see me! I'm invisible.
Who are you? How can you see me? I don't know, I just do what you can do.
Fantastic.
One of those.
