Heroes s02e10 Episode Script

Previously on Heroes: When I get back, we'll be together.
You came here to get control of your life.
It's another strain of the virus.
My blood's no longer a cure.
I'm going to die? Claire is the key that could cure the virus.
- I'm here to ask you to give us Claire.
- Touch my daughter, I'll kill yours.
Then I'll kill you.
- Please don't let them take me.
- I'll get us home, I promise No, no! - Peter? - I remember everything.
See, when I get my ability back, I'm gonna kill you and your sister.
And I'm gonna take it all.
Get on the ground! On the ground now! Are you sick? Are you infected? - Take them to decontamination now! - Caitlin! Caitlin! Caitlin! Caitlin! Caitlin! - No need to shout.
- Adam, I was there.
I saw her.
Haven't gone anywhere.
You were telling me about time travel and how you were gonna save some girl from some virus.
You began shouting her name.
No, no, I was in New York City a year from now.
I saw Caitlin.
I was calling at her to come back with me.
Look Impressive.
I have to keep trying.
I can't leave her to be killed by the virus.
What do you know about this virus? Kills over 93 per cent of the world's population.
- Do you know what the virus is called? - The Shanti virus.
That's what the guy at Homeland Security called it.
- Does that mean something to you? - I knew a woman at the company.
Victoria Pratt.
She was a biological engineer.
On Valentine's Day, 1977, she recovered a deadly virus from a sick Indian girl named Shanti.
Under company orders, she tried to manipulate the virus into a weapon.
I'd heard the programme had been shut down.
Clearly, I was misinformed.
Those are my parents.
- Linderman, Charles Deveaux.
What - Those are the company founders.
The virus is their crime.
- They're responsible for this.
- Parents sin, children suffer.
- That is Victoria.
- We need to find her, Adam.
We need to find her.
Make her tell us everything that she knows.
That's the only way to stop the virus and save Caitlin.
It's the only way we can save the world.
Get the hell out of my house.
Noah Bennet was a loyal employee of our company, and, for many years, a true friend.
I offer my deepest condolences.
- Are those my dad's ashes? - You had my husband cremated? His personnel file was very clear as to how his remains should be handled.
- What gives you the right? - We were only trying to help Claire use her abilities for the greater good.
- But Noah's aggression forced our hand.
- He was trying to protect me.
In the wake of this tragedy, I feel it's only fair to honour Noah's wishes.
You will be left alone to lead a normal life.
My father is dead.
There is no normal.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Pack your bags.
We're leaving tonight.
The next 24 hours are critical.
I want you to keep an eye on Claire.
It'd be easier without this thing on my arm.
It itches like a mother! And I thought my little girl was tough.
I am, Dad, but I was shot.
And my body doesn't heal itself.
I'm sorry you're in pain, but none of this would've happened if you hadn't lowered your guard.
How was I supposed to know that Bennet teamed up - with West, the flying boy? - Excuses don't change outcome, Elle.
You need to accept responsibility for what's happened.
Can you do that? Can you regain my trust? Sure, Daddy.
I'll watch the cheerleader.
- Mohinder.
- Take it easy.
Last thing I remember You were - Did you shoot me? - I didn't have a choice.
- Why am I not dead? - You would've been, if you not for an infusion of your daughter's blood.
- You took Claire's blood? - It saved your life.
You betrayed me.
You went after my family! You told me this company had to be brought down from the inside.
I came to my senses before I'd done any damage.
- What have you done with Claire? - Claire's at home, - grieving the loss of her father.
- Ooh.
- They think I'm dead.
- You put us on this path.
With your violence, your paranoia.
You have nobody to blame but yourself.
- What are you doing with that? - Your recovery has proven this blood has regenerative properties.
I believe it holds the key to saving an woman from a deadly virus.
That's what this company does.
- We save lives.
- Everything they've told you is a lie.
The company made that virus.
They've been experimenting with it for 30 years.
You can't trust them, Suresh! Get back here, you son of a bitch! - Six hundred bucks for a comic book? - In mint condition.
But that's not why I collect them.
I just like the stories.
How about this for a story? Once upon a time, we cash these in and live happily ever after.
The end.
Hey, if Saint Joan's a good guy, why is she wearing a hood? Every superhero has a secret identity.
How else could they live a normal life? Who wants normal? I'd be rolling large.
Let everybody know who I was.
If your enemies knew who you were, then they'd be coming after you, maybe taking revenge on your family.
That's why Clark Kent wears those glasses.
Right.
- Micah? - Mom, you came back-1 Mmm! I told you that I would.
- I missed you every day.
- Missed you every minute, every second.
- What's that smaller one? - Nanosecond.
I missed you that one too.
So where were you, Mom? I went to a place that helps people like us when we're sick.
- Is it Jessica again? - No, Jessica's gone.
They all are.
- This is about something else.
- What is it? I have a virus.
You don't have to worry.
I can't make you or anybody else sick - What's gonna happen to you? - Do you remember Dr Suresh? He is working really hard to find me a cure.
And, when he does, I'll get better.
- Yeah, but what if he doesn't? - He will.
I am going to get better, Micah.
We are going to have normal life.
I promise you.
I've got something to make you stronger.
Oh, yeah? What's that? Dad's medal.
The one the mayor gave him for saving that girl from the fire.
- It's in my backpack.
- We can't waste another nanosecond.
- What's wrong, bud? - It's my backpack.
It's gone.
It's beautiful out here, Gabriel.
Thank you.
- I almost feel normal.
- After you see Dr Suresh, you will be.
And then Alejandro and I can go back home.
What if Alejandro could go home now? But I need my brother.
He's the only one who can stop me from hurting anyone else.
What if you could learn to control your own power? I've seen people's powers grow.
Do you love your brother enough to let him go? Of course.
It's It's just not possible.
Well, you'll never know unless you try.
We should get back - You put him through enough, Maya.
- Me? Gave up his life for you, even after you killed his wife.
- It was an accident.
- Really think he's forgiven you? - She was cheating on him.
- So she deserved to die? That's not what I meant.
It's just But you wanted to kill her, didn't you, Maya? - Stop it.
Let me go.
- Where? Back to your brother? - He hates you.
- Don't do this.
Please! If you can control your power, no more innocent people have to die.
- Ahh! I can't! - Help.
You're killing me.
Help me please.
You were right.
I did it.
Don't think we should go guns blazing.
Tell Victoria the truth.
- Ask her where to find the virus.
- This woman can't be trusted.
She worked for the company.
She locked me up.
One glance at me on her path is liable to affect her mood.
Fine.
I'll go alone.
No.
- You lost? - Hope not.
- I'm looking for Victoria Pratt.
- Never heard of her.
You worked for the company.
In 24 hours, the Shanti virus is released.
A year from now, 93 per cent of the world's population is dead.
How can anyone know what happens a year from now? I've been there.
I've seen it.
A time traveller.
You created a virus that kills billons of people.
I don't know how it gets out or where, only that it does.
Unless you help me.
Inside Now.
Containment breach in bio-research.
Evacuation protocol in full effect.
You have betrayed everything we stand for.
No, Kaito, I tried to save the world.
By releasing a virus that'd kill billons of innocent people? When you're around as long as I have the patterns become clear.
War.
Disregard for environment.
Famine.
And it's only getting worse.
Had to make the choice for the greater good.
Take him down to lock up, and throw away the key! Are you all right, Victoria? He was looking for strain 138.
If successful, this place would've been ground zero for a global pandemic.
Thank you for saving us.
You need to shut down the programme, Kaito.
Give it to me.
This will be taken to the Primatech facility in Odessa.
With Adam locked away, it will be safe.
Something that dangerous, there is no safe.
That virus needs to be destroyed.
The other founders would never allow that.
Doesn't that concern you? Adam had help.
Only way he'd have known what to look for.
I suggest you take a few days off before resuming your work.
I won't be a part of this.
Not anymore.
After Kaito and the others were killed, I figured that, sooner or later, someone would come after me.
- You look like your mother.
- I don't know anything about this.
Last time I saw my mother was a year from now, in a future where the world had been devastated by the Shanti virus.
Forgive my paranoia, but I don't know you.
I only knew your parents, and what they were capable of.
There was a woman.
Caitlin.
She trusted me to protect her.
Now Somehow I took us into the future, and now I can't get back So if you just tell me where to find the virus I know that I can save her.
You're looking for a mutated strain, 138.
If it were ever released, it would kill us all.
She tell you where to find the virus? Company storage facility in New Mexico.
New Mexico? Company never had a facility - You don't understand.
- You're working with him.
That's all I need to know.
I knew blowing your head off was the only way to be sure.
Better late than never.
Thanks, Peter.
Let's get her up to the house.
Alejandro! Maya No.
Maya? Did you tell your brother the good news? Is something wrong? This says you murdered your mother.
- But I know you didn't.
You couldn't.
- It's true.
I did it.
I killed her.
When my mother found out what I could do, she didn't understand.
She told me I was a monster.
My own mother tried to kill me, Maya.
And, as I defended myself, there was an accident.
I understand.
Alejandro, no! Everything's gonna be OK, Maya.
I'll take care of you.
- Why did you lie to me, Victoria? - You're with him.
- You're helping Adam release the virus.
- Release the virus? I'm trying to find the virus so I can destroy it.
Thirty years ago, Adam broke into my lab.
I stopped him from releasing the virus so he couldn't kill everyone.
And now he's trying to do it again.
I broke into the lab to prevent you and the company - from putting the world in danger.
- You killed Kaito, didn't you? And the others.
And now it's my turn.
We're trying save lives, Victoria, not take them.
Adam's a killer.
And I guess since you're helping him, you're one too.
- Like your parents.
- Adam helped me escape the company.
He saved my brother's life.
But what you did, what you were a part of, that will bring an end to the world.
Tell me where I can find the virus, so I can stop it.
- Go to hell.
- Where is it, Victoria? Primatech Paper Odessa.
Texas.
- Texas.
- No! - Thank you.
- I am not gonna let you do this! - Get away from me! - We're not hurting you.
- We're letting you go.
- What are you doing? Wait! You didn't have to kill her.
She was about to take your head off.
There's no coming back from that one.
I'm gonna get the car.
If anyone survives, I'll tell them I couldn't have done it without you.
Well? There was this kid on third street who said he can tell me how much your comics were worth.
I figured if you knew how much we'd get, maybe Where are they? Where's my backpack? It was a set-up.
I got jacked - Micah! - Damon! - My dad's medal was in that bag! - I'm sorry! I'll get you a new one! You gonna get me a new dad, too? - I'm sorry.
- I don't care! I hate you! Gonna get you cleaned up.
I'm gonna call the police, and you tell them everything that happened.
Come on.
- We need to get it back.
- Nana's calling the police.
Not talking about the police, talking about us.
We could get it back - We have talked about this.
- We need to be heroes.
Like Dad.
Being a hero is what got your father killed.
The medal's gone.
I'm sorry.
You all packed, Maya? I tried to let you go the easy way - But you had to be persistent.
- I'm taking my sister.
Oh! Gabriel.
Gabriel! Hey.
I didn't hear you with the water running.
Is everything OK? I have to talk to you.
- Yeah? - You were right.
About everything.
About me.
About Alejandro.
- I never meant to come between you two.
- He's my brother.
I have to do what I can to protect him.
- In time, he will understand.
- Of course he will.
And, without you, I would still be somewhere in Mexico.
- I just want to help you.
- You have done that.
And so much more.
Your mom said you're leaving tonight.
I've fallen 20 stories.
Been stabbed in the head.
Crashed a car at 70 miles an hour.
I've even been on fire.
But this hurts more than any of that.
And it's not getting better.
I've always gotten better, no matter what, - but this just keeps getting worse.
- Can't stand to see you hurt like this.
I won't be.
Not for long.
There's a man who used to work for my dad.
He has the ability to erase people's memories.
These are a signal so that he knows to come.
He can make me forget I ever had a father.
Are you gonna hang those in the window? How do you know he's gonna see them? I don't know, but I have to do something.
You don't want to forget your dad.
Forgetting isn't the answer.
I just wish I could tell him how sorry I am.
Micah.
Why are you dressed like that? I know what it's like to lose someone you love.
To wish that you had a piece of them, something solid to hold on to.
Anybody tried to steal my mom's piano, I'd feed 'em their teeth.
Look.
I knowwhere those kids live.
- The ones who stole your backpack.
- Gonna help me get back my dad's medal? Long as you stay out of the way.
Anything crazy happens, I need you safe.
- OK, I promise.
- Shh.
We still gotta sneak you out.
Come on.
As we'd hoped.
Claire's blood has fortified my antibodies.
They're strong enough to defeat the mutated virus.
Congratulations.
You promised Niki Sanders you'd find a cure, and you have.
And you promised me this company's viral research would end.
In working this cure, I've been pouring over records that reveal the extent of your programme.
You, of all people, should understand what it'd mean to find a safe way to remove the abilities of dangerous individuals.
Here, strain 138.
If the smallest amount were released, it'd wipe out human civilisation.
This strain is locked safely away in our facility in Texas.
And, I can assure you, doctor, this company is vigilant about security.
Really? For weeks I operated as a spy within your ranks, undetected.
God knows what someone with experience and ill intent could achieve.
What can I do for you? Help me hunt down every strain of virus within this company and destroy them.
- Hello.
- Niki? It's Mohinder Suresh.
- Are you still in New Orleans? - Yes.
I think I found the cure, Niki.
I'll bring to you on the next flight.
Your nightmare's over.
I don't know what to say.
doctor.
Thank you.
Micah.
No one's home.
You should have plenty of time.
- You know how to get up there yet? - Almost.
Got it.
I just wish it wasn't so bright.
Don't want people thinking I'm robbing the place.
OK.
How did you do that? I told the lights I need them to be off for a while.
- You told 'em? - Yeah.
- What? - You're Saint Joan! You have to stop reading those comic books.
Stay here.
I'll be right back Y'all put that gas in that van.
Figure out why they're paying us so much - to torch all these buildings? - Who cares? As long as he comes with that cash, we come with the matches.
I'm sorry, Dad.
I'm sorry I didn't listen.
I should've done everything you told me to.
If I hadn't been so selfish, you'd still be here.
I love you, Dad.
We'd better say good-bye.
We gotta be in Salt Lake by morning.
Come on.
This is all happening so fast.
I'm losing everything I care about.
Claire! Oh! - What the hell are you doing here? - I came to watch the sunset.
Liar! - Watch who you're shoving, Pompom.
- Claire, don't.
- This isn't fair.
- Welcome to life.
- Come on, Claire, we've gotta go.
- No, Mom, we don't.
We can tell the world what they did.
Kidnapped me, murdered my father.
You have no proof.
No one would believe you.
You're probably right I guess I'm just gonna have to show 'em.
I'll show everyone exactly what I can do.
Once the secret's out, you won't be able to touch me or my family.
You'll be the ones running.
- Hello? - Hello.
Mohinder.
Sylar? Where are you? I convinced the babysitter to take the night off.
Don't worry.
I'm taking good care of the little one.
- If you touch Molly - Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
We don't want to wake her.
I brought someone to see you.
She needs your help.
We both do.
See you soon, Mohinder.
Doesn't look like the place where they'd store a virus that'd destroy the world.
Paper company's just a front.
The good stuff is three floors down.
Laboratories, jail cells - Hiro? - Peter Petrelli? What are you doing here? Adam Monroe killed my father, and, for that, he must pay.
- I can't let you do that.
- Then you have chosen the wrong side.
No! I can't let you hurt him.
