Heroes s03e11 Episode Script

Previously on Heroes.
Now we know the meaning of the eclipse.
Everyone's abilities have gone away.
You have to get them back.
You have to fix Hiro.
Arthur Petrelli erased his memory.
Hiro now thinks he's 10 years old.
I can't do this, I'm sorry, I gotta get out of here.
What? You don't know me, and you don't know what I've been through.
All he has to do is teleport me to Lawrence, Kansas I just didn't want you to see me like this.
Like what? Like this.
No! Claire! Why isn't she healing? Her ability's not working.
We're both so What, powerless? We can't take what we want anymore.
Says who? Claire.
Oh, my God.
Arthur's alive? You're one of the only people who can stop him.
I'm not going anywhere until I stop Samedi.
The only way to get this guy to come back home with us is if we help him stop his brother.
We know all about you, Senator Nathan Petrelli.
Your father warned us you'd come.
Wait.
Stop.
We have to go back.
My brother won't stop until we're dead.
I have no abilities, Peter.
I'm completely Powerless? Like there's nothing you can do? There is nothing I can do.
You said all this happened for a reason, to test our resolve.
Look, maybe that's a good thing.
Samedi's abilities are gone, too.
He's not invulnerable anymore.
That does not make him powerless.
His followers think he's a god.
Then I say we make him bleed.
We show them he's not a god.
Why did you come here, Peter? To find you.
Take you back to stop my father.
Do not lie to me.
I needed to know I could be a hero without my powers.
Let's go.
GSW to the shoulder.
BP 110 over 82.
Heart rate 128.
We started an IV.
D5W.
It hurts.
What's your name, sweetheart? Claire.
Where's my dad? He's on his way.
How long ago were you shot, Claire? It just happened.
It's gonna be easier if you don't lie.
I'm not.
Her whole system's been infected.
Either she hasn't been sick in her whole life or you're lying.
You don't want to tell me the truth, you can tell the police.
Is she going to be okay? I don't know.
Do you think it's permanent? What? Our powers going away or us? Both, I guess.
I don't know anymore.
What if it is permanent? Then you get exactly what you want.
And what is it I want? A chance to re-invent ourselves.
Free of powers or parents.
Scary.
Yeah.
And unexpected.
What? Our powers going away or us? Come on! Let's go, Elle.
Come on! Who's doing this? Who do you think? That's right.
Run! I want you to be scared.
Just like Claire was.
This ends today.
There is a lot of power in a name.
You shouldn't give yours away so freely.
Some believe that if you know a man's name, you can possess him.
Others believe that names grant great strength.
Is that why you call yourself "Baron Samedi"? So people will worship you like a god? Is that why you took the title of Senator? No! What are you doing with her? She is a restavec.
She will be sold.
You mean prostituted.
It's not her choice to decide whether she's happy or sad, whether she lives or dies.
I'm not going to let you do this.
You? You are just a man, and I'm their god.
So, Dr.
Suresh, what have you found? Why aren't our abilities working? I have checked every imaginable connection to this eclipse.
The possibilities are too numerous to consider.
Gravity, electron density.
I mean, maybe, it really is just a coincidence.
You know, you keep talking, Doc, when all I hear is blah, blah, blah.
If you gave me just an inch to breathe.
You're under a lot of stress.
I understand.
You understand? You are holding me here against my will and I'm finally cured.
Being powerless makes me vulnerable.
You're paranoid.
Very much so.
I think you need proper motivation.
Stop! I'm counting on your help, Doctor.
Sandra, what is it? Where are you? And why haven't you been picking up my calls? What's happened? I took Claire to the hospital.
I know you told me not to, but Is she all right? No, she is not all right.
They've stabilized her, but they say her whole system is infected, like she's never been sick.
Noah, she is scared.
I don't know what to tell her, and I don't know what to do.
Okay.
Just stay calm.
They are asking a lot of questions.
They called the police.
What am I supposed to tell them? Tell them what I would tell them.
You mean lie.
I'll be right there.
What's going on? What are those? Leg braces.
This is me without my abilities.
I have cerebral palsy.
But you're the fastest person in the world.
Last year, I could barely move.
And then there was an eclipse.
And afterwards, I could walk.
And then I could run.
And then I could run really fast.
And now I'm back to where I started.
Read my thoughts if you don't believe me.
I can't.
I can't.
I lost my abilities.
Hiro did, too.
We tried to fight Arthur Petrelli.
He's punishing us.
We don't know if it was him.
I watched him kill your father.
It's right up his alley.
Not like I don't deserve it.
Stop saying that.
Why? I'm a villain.
A nemesis, right? You reap what you sow.
How many times do I have to tell you? You are a good person.
You don't know me.
You didn't know about this.
You can't help me, and stop pretending like you can.
Everything all right? Yeah.
Matt was just leaving.
It's gonna give me my powers back? It'll help track the changes your body's going through.
You really think I'm that kind of stupid, Doc? Honestly, yeah, I did.
Dude, this is so awesome! We need the new issue of 9th Wonders! You must help us.
What is this? Some kind of practical joke? What? You think I hired these guys? I'm Ando Masahashi.
This is Hiro Nakamura.
Look.
How did you know what I was going to say? How did you put this in a comic book? I didn't.
Dude, this is Dude.
You must help us understand why Hiro's lost his power and how to get his memory back.
The world is at stake! The answers are in these books! Hey! Hey! This is not a library! You want it, you buy it.
It's okay.
It's okay.
May I help you? No.
We're fine.
Here.
He's going to call the cops.
It doesn't matter.
You'll be long gone.
What are you talking about? You've bled a trail of bread crumbs for Bennet to follow.
He's going to be here any minute.
We have to split up, or else he's going to kill us both.
No.
We have to do this together.
That's the point.
With our abilities gone, Bennet is the powerful one.
He's better trained and he will kill you.
Maybe I deserve it.
Maybe No, you've changed.
Don't give up.
Do you have a plan? We let him follow, then set a trap.
Numbers are our biggest advantage.
Okay.
We do this together.
Come on.
Go, go, go.
Matt.
Hey, I thought you said you were gonna figure out why our powers aren't working.
We are.
In here? Yeah.
Have you found anything? Actually, I have a theory.
Who are these bozos? In Hiro's origin story, there's an eclipse.
And there's an eclipse right now.
Coincidence? There was an eclipse, on the Yamagato roof, the day everything changed.
Yeah.
But what does that mean to us? I think that your powers will come back when the eclipse ends.
Guys.
You might actually be onto something.
Look at this.
This a picture of Daphne at her house, and she's running.
I gotta get back there before she leaves.
Thanks, guys.
That was Matt Parkman.
Yeah, I'm Matt Parkman.
Hiro.
I know you can't understand a word I'm saying, but there's something I need to confess.
You know, somebody's supposed to be looking out for you.
Somebody's supposed to be protecting you, standing up for you.
Somebody like me.
I had power, I had influence, and I didn't.
And I'm sorry.
Pete! You ready to go home? Yeah.
They found him.
They found Samedi.
We don't have much time.
We can make a run for it.
No, it will never work.
Look, you I'll hold them off.
You guys escape.
Go.
Give me that.
No, Peter Stop.
You're a senator.
You're important.
You need the Haitian.
I'm expendable.
Have a little faith in me, okay? Go.
Go.
Mom.
Hey.
My mouth is dry.
It's the antibiotics.
You're fighting off an infection.
It hurts.
Here, take this.
Here.
If the pain is too much, press that button.
Where's Dad? He's on his way.
Just try and relax.
You're lying.
You're not very good at it.
He will be here.
I'm so stupid.
All I wanted was for this ability to go away, and now it's gone.
Mrs.
Butler.
We need to talk to you.
You have got to be brave.
I'm not brave.
I'm just a stupid teenager.
I didn't want to be.
I thought I could be more.
I'm sorry I ruined everything.
Claire, don't talk like that.
It hurts.
Why does it hurt so much? Claire.
Claire.
Help! Help! Help! We need help! Now! Oh, God.
He's here.
This isn't good.
It's too open.
Okay, come on.
We'll take this down.
It'll buy us some time.
Wait.
What are you doing? Goodbye, Elle.
Gabriel, no.
Gabriel! No! Gabriel! No! She's gone into septic shock.
Crack the chest.
I get it.
You're in control.
The agent.
The killer.
And I'm defenseless.
What if Claire could see you now? Shut up! We're losing her.
Paddles.
Paddles ready.
Charged.
Clear.
Clear.
Clear.
No.
Poor Gabriel.
You always wanted to be special.
Look at you now.
No.
You're nobody.
Mom? We gotta get you out of here.
Daphne? Mr.
Millbrook! What happened? She's gone.
Gone where? I don't know.
No note.
No goodbye.
MR.
MILLBROOK: Just gone.
Again.
You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
It's all my fault.
He's been so good to me.
When she started walking, I thought it was just a fluke.
MR.
MILLBROOK: Maybe if I'd have done more, she would've stayed.
Don't think that.
I gotta go.
I never should have stolen the formula for Arthur.
I was so stupid.
Now, everything is screwed up.
Matt's dad is dead, and I brought them all together.
I'm as bad as they are.
Horrible person.
Hey.
Hey.
You got your ability back.
You could be anywhere in the world right now.
What are you still doing here? I came to talk to Ray.
Does Ray talk back? I made him when I was 13.
This crop is my dad's livelihood, and one fall, the birds were feasting on it.
We were losing the crop.
And then along came Ray.
He saved the field.
No.
You did.
Life just took a lot from you.
You were trying to take something back.
I get that.
We're all flawed.
Powers or no powers.
But when it counts, you're a good person.
I know it and you know that I know it.
So, you forgive me? I'm not the one you need to ask forgiveness from.
You came here for a reason, to set something right.
Go do it, speedy.
Stop firing.
Thanks for coming back.
You got it.
This isn't your fight.
You made it my fight.
Use your ability.
Turn his off.
I have a shot.
This is my responsibility.
Maya, it's me.
Mohinder.
Just a minute.
Mohinder? You gotta get him out of my bathroom, man.
What is his problem? He doesn't want to grow up.
Everyone has to grow up.
Dude.
He says, "You guys didn't grow up.
" "You read comic books and eat junk food.
" If you were Hiro, you're not, but if you were, you would know that saving the world comes before everything else.
He says, "Look what happens when I try.
" "My father's dead.
" "Why bother being a hero?" Because you give people hope.
That anybody, even a lowly office drone, can make a difference.
You don't have to be a billionaire like Batman, or an alien like Superman.
You just have to believe.
I thought you didn't believe in any of this? I don't.
Thank you.
This is really weird.
Did you find something? Issue 1 of 9th Wonders! Yeah.
This is the issue where Hiro's dad gives the baby Claire to her father, makes him swear to protect her.
You were there.
That's the first and only time that Claire Bennet and Hiro Nakamura met.
That's not the only time.
No, no.
Kirby Plaza doesn't count.
They never actually even talked.
Maybe they did.
Look at this.
In the greenhouse.
That's Claire and that's Hiro, hiding behind the ferns.
And Hiro's wearing the same clothes as he is now.
I think Hiro has to take Claire here to get his memory back.
How does he find Claire? Hiro! Best day ever.
Claire-bear.
You okay? I needed you, and you weren't there, again.
I'm sorry.
There was something I had to do.
There's always something you have to do.
Work's just more important.
No.
Listen.
The day I was assigned to protect you That's right.
I'm just an assignment.
Claire, you know that's not true.
I died! But I guess that's just old news to you, isn't it? You died? When? Why does it matter? It matters.
What is it? What's wrong? Where's your mother? She's with us.
Stay back.
We're taking Claire with us.
That's what we came for in the first place.
You following Daddy's orders now? You trying to be a good boy? Not a good boy.
Not exactly.
Something else.
Something more like Like you.
Home.
Family.
But not afraid to do the job I have to do.
Stop! Look.
I will go with you, okay? Just, please, leave him alone.
I think this game of cat and mouse is over.
They're not your parents.
What are you talking about? They're manipulating you.
Arthur and Angela.
I've read your files, Gabriel.
You're not their son.
They're just leveraging your mommy issues to turn you into their weapon.
He's lying.
Don't let him get inside your head.
You know exactly who he is because you helped create him.
You can't undo that.
Not ever.
You really think you two can have a normal life? He killed your father, Elle.
No! What the hell? Hey.
We got our abilities back.
Where's Hiro? He's gone.
Gone where? No one knows.
Okay.
Let's look in one of your comic books.
No, no, that well is dry.
Isaac Mendez is dead.
This is the last posthumous issue.
But it's not the last story.
What do you mean? There's a legend I heard from a guy at a convention, who heard it from a dude, who heard it from another dude, that one more 9th Wonders! Story exists.
Where? The day that he died, Isaac Mendez bequeathed his sketchbook to a humble bike messenger.
You find that messenger, you find your story.
I'll bring the girls back to their parents.
Thank you for what you did.
Nobody should ever have to make the sacrifice you made today.
You okay? Pete, you've always made your own decisions.
I haven't agreed with all of them, but they've always come from your heart.
I respect that.
And I'm sorry Thank you.
It means a lot.
I'm going to Pinehearst.
To Dad? It's got nothing to do with Dad.
Look, I'm never gonna forgive him for what he did to us, but his idea, giving people abilities, the right people Is wrong.
It's not wrong, Pete.
It's so right.
You saw what one man with unstoppable power nearly did to this country.
Yeah, but we stopped him.
We didn't do anything.
He did.
Because he still had power.
That was just one village.
What about the whole world? Somalia, Darfur, Bosnia, the Middle East.
Murder.
Genocide.
Don't we have an obligation to try and stop it? Yes, we do, but not like this.
Then how? Pinehearst has a way, Pete.
It's not perfect, not yet, but if we don't try and stop what's happening in the world, then we're just as guilty as the people who are committing the crime.
Nathan.
Pete, I can't live with that.
Nathan, you Call TK at the embassy.
He'll help you get home.
Nathan, you can't do this.
I'm sorry, Pete.
I think this eclipse showed us all exactly who we are.
Desperate, angry, and weak.
Are you ready to get back to work? Look at me.
Where else could I go? We'll find a cure.
But that monster inside of you, that's something you're gonna have to take care of all by yourself.
What was that? Hiro Nakamura.
Strange day.
Was Bennet lying about my parents? Of course he was.
He's Bennet.
He seemed to think you knew something about it.
He's just trying to mess with you.
Sit down.
I've been thinking.
About what? What you said about finding ourselves, free of parents, our powers.
What about it? You were wrong.
Nobody ever really changes.
You did.
I saw you.
That was temporary, and then I got my powers back.
And I understand now that I'm never gonna change.
Neither are you, because we're both just damaged goods.
You're hurting me.
I know.
What did you do? What the hell is going on? Dad? "I don't think I'd be a very good father.
" "Don't get too close.
" Holy
