Heroes s03e12 Episode Script

Our Father

Previously on Heroes.
Find Claire Bennet.
Bring her back to me.
You think you can do that? Yes, sir, of course, I can.
I'm coming, too.
Isaac Mendez is dead.
This is the last posthumous issue.
But it's not the last story.
The day that he died, Isaac Mendez bequeathed his sketchbook to a humble bike messenger.
You find that messenger, you find your story.
It's got nothing to do with Dad.
I'm going to Pinehearst.
His idea, giving people abilities, the right people Is wrong.
It's not wrong.
It's so right.
We're taking Claire with us.
That's what we came for in the first place.
I've read your files, Gabriel.
You're not their son.
They're just leveraging your mommy issues to turn you into their weapon.
And I understand now that I'm never gonna change.
Theoretically, this formula is sound, but something is missing.
Some kind of catalyst.
The key component of this catalyst would live in a human host.
I think I'm the catalyst.
That's Claire and that's Hiro, hiding behind the ferns.
I think Hiro has to take Claire here to get his memory back.
Hiro! What did you do? What the hell is going on? Dad? That baby is me.
You're Hiro Nakamura, aren't you? Peter told me about you.
You're a time traveler, so you brought me back in time.
Why did you bring me here? You don't speak English? Look.
Is that you? Am I here for you? Where is train station? I must use toilet.
More waffles, please.
Hey.
Where are you going? Should I stay with me or should I go with you? Hey.
Hey.
What am I supposed to do? Our son can hear us.
Speak English.
Are you feeling better? We must face the inevitable.
I am dying.
I think it will happen tonight.
We must make arrangements for the catalyst before it is lost forever.
The catalyst.
Are you sure? Nothing will ever be the same.
You must think of the future, Kaito.
I will have Noah return with the baby.
She is the perfect candidate.
I wanted to keep it in the family.
Absolutely not.
Our son couldn't possibly This conversation isn't over yet.
I know what I have to do.
I think I can stop the catalyst before they put it in me.
I can be a hero.
I don't understand what you're saying.
I have to follow my dad, protect that baby so they don't inject the catalyst into me.
I'll meet you here tonight.
Stay out of trouble, okay? Okay.
What? You were supposed to be here by now.
Where's Claire? Gone into thin air.
What happened? Don't know.
Don't care.
I'm not helping you anymore, Arthur.
I'm not helping anyone.
I talked to Bennet.
He told me everything.
He told me you're not my father.
I want the truth.
And I know exactly where I'm gonna find it.
I've got a whole new list of people with abilities.
It's gonna be very useful.
Don't do this.
Come see me.
Don't worry.
I will.
Very soon.
Goodbye, Elle.
One shot to the back of his head and it's done.
You want me to kill him? Why do you think I sent you and your brother to find the Haitian? He makes Arthur vulnerable.
And now that Nathan has switched his allegiance, it's all up to you.
Your father is far too powerful.
He won't be contained.
If the tables were turned, he would not hesitate to put a bullet in your brain.
Or Nathan's.
Why do you think I poisoned him, the man I loved, father of my children? He tried to kill your brother.
And if you get in his way, he will destroy you.
You don't know that.
I know that he will stop at nothing to get what he wants, by any means necessary, no matter who gets hurt.
There's no other way.
So, DOD's on board.
We're all set.
Well done, Tracy.
Nathan.
Nice to see you.
What are you doing here? It's my job, Senator.
Finding opportunities for you.
Have you reconsidered my offer, son? I agree with what you're trying to do.
The world's a dangerous place, and it's not getting any better.
We need a leader, somebody with vision.
And that somebody isn't you.
Is it you? I'm taking over Pinehearst, the complete program.
I'll work out of my office.
We can use my resources.
Who do you think you're talking to? I made you.
You wouldn't have gone to all this trouble to make me if you didn't need me.
You wanted a legitimate face for Pinehearst, a person with authority.
Senator Nathan Petrelli.
All right, Nathan.
You win.
Brief him on what we've done.
You're angry.
What do you expect? You went behind my back.
You're supposed to be working for me.
That's exactly what I was doing.
I'm on your side, Nathan.
Your father sees the problems in this world, war, terrorism.
He wants to make it a better place.
You have no idea who my father is.
I know he's crossed some lines, but he's a vision for the future, and you're in it as President of the United States.
That is where you belong, Nathan.
And I belong there with you.
We'd like to call it intelligent design.
Until now, abilities have been random, given to good people and bad, whether they deserve them or not.
When we perfect the formula, we get to choose who gets what power.
And we have chosen the best.
Meet the future.
I want ten-hut! Okay.
Almost there.
Hang in there.
Oh, God.
Come on.
One more minute.
Here we go.
You're doing so good.
Oh, my gosh, let me help you.
Thanks.
My husband bailed on me.
Our first day with an adopted baby and he had to go back to work.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.
No worries.
I'm Bonnie, by the way.
I'm staying next door at the Monacos.
I'm their niece.
Hi, Bonnie.
I'm Sandra.
Thank you so much.
Put them anywhere.
Thank you.
Okay.
Come on, baby girl.
Here we go.
Nice place.
What are you saying? She's probably just wet and doesn't know how to tell you.
Here.
Let's see.
Up we go.
There we go.
There you go.
Yeah.
She's definitely wet.
Hi.
You want me to change her? Sure.
Hi.
There we go.
There we go, little one.
Wow.
There we go.
I'm so glad I ran into you.
To be honest, I'm a little overwhelmed.
She's so little.
I'm completely unprepared.
I don't have a clue about how to take care of a baby.
Well, I have a feeling you'll do just fine.
Besides, I have major babysitting skills.
I could teach you a thing or two if you want.
That would be great.
What about your husband? Is he good with kids? Not really.
Noah is very busy at work.
He just got a promotion.
Apparently, he is He's very good at what he does.
I'll bet he is.
All done.
There we go.
Thank you.
There you go.
It's so strange.
I've only known Claire a few hours and I'm so in love with her.
I think she knows that.
Yeah.
Don't let her out of your sight, okay? What do you mean? Oh, I just mean that she's gonna grow up really fast.
Believe me.
I am gonna watch her like a hawk.
Hi, baby girl.
Hey, Sue.
Is it really your birthday? Hey, birthday girl.
Sue Landers? Special delivery.
You're lying.
You're not here to make a delivery.
Impressive.
How did you do that? What do you want? To understand what you do.
A human lie detector.
How does that work when someone tells a lie? Does it tingle? How did you know about me? Who are you? Someone who covets your ability.
I have to find out the truth about something.
No, you don't.
Trust me.
I'm sure it's hard, seeing the ugly truth at every turn.
Must make it hard to trust anyone.
It's not gonna hurt a bit.
Got me.
That's a lie.
I almost forgot how good this feels.
Happy birthday! Cake.
Tell me what you know about this program.
It's gonna make us better Marines, sir.
Yeah, but how? Not exactly sure.
Some kind of drug.
I'm told it's safe.
Sergeant, I want you to know exactly what it is you've signed up for.
The drug that we're developing, it'll change your life in ways you can't possibly imagine.
Forever.
I get it, sir, but I have my reasons.
I did two tours in Iraq.
My last mission, last tour, RPG took our Humvee three klicks south of Kirkuk.
Boatload of hajjis has us pinned down.
I mean, we fought as best we could.
End of the day, though, That's tough.
On the trip back stateside, I couldn't help thinking, why couldn't I have been better? You're being too hard on yourself, Marine.
Everybody says that.
"You're only human.
" If only I was more than that, maybe they'd still be alive, you know? Yeah.
I think I do.
I like teleporting better.
Less windy.
I don't care where you are.
Hey! You should have been there an hour ago.
They're waiting.
Get it to them.
Excuse me.
We're looking for a messenger.
Sure, pal.
What do you need delivered? We need to find something.
Someone.
Yeah.
A messenger picked up a package from an artist in a downtown loft, Isaac Mendez.
We need that package.
Sorry.
Can't help you out.
Johnson.
57th and Lex.
The messenger picked up this package last year.
If you just Wait.
Last year? You're kidding me.
I can barely keep track of what we delivered last week.
You have records, right? Receipts? Just look it up.
His name was Isaac Mendez.
M-E-N-D-E - Look, I'd like to help, but city regulations prevent me from talking about deliveries.
There's no city regulation about that.
What are you, a cop? He knows something, Matt.
Right.
Sorry to do this to you, buddy.
He does know about the sketches.
Wait.
How do you know that I know? I also know that you're skimming off the top.
What, $5,200 already this year.
Whoa! Give us the sketches now.
Okay.
Fine.
I got it in the back.
It's in the safe.
I'll go get it.
That's a great idea.
We found them.
Hey, you've been a good friend to Hiro, nemesis.
How come? Well, it's kind of my fault.
I mean, I started this whole mess, stealing the formula No, no, no.
It's more than that.
You're doing it 'cause that's the right thing to do and that's who you are.
Guys.
He's getting away.
He's got the sketchbook.
We have to stop him.
Allow me.
What the Fine.
I give.
Remember, fifth grade, a boy named Danny.
He's cute, but he'll break your heart, so whatever you do, do not share your juice with him.
Don't do it.
Don't do it, okay? Who are you? I'm I'm Bonnie.
I was just watching the baby while Sandra set up the nursery.
Hi, hon.
I thought I heard you come in.
How's work? You left the baby alone with some strange girl? She's not strange.
Bonnie, this is Mr.
Bennet.
She's a potential new babysitter for us.
Is there a problem? You can't let a stranger into our home under any circumstances.
Don't worry, Claire.
I'm here to protect both of us.
Something wrong? Tell me who you are again.
I'm the Monacos' niece.
The Monacos don't have a niece.
So, I'm gonna ask you one last time.
Who are you and what the hell do you want? You don't understand.
I'm here to protect her and this family.
Who sent you? What's going on, Noah? Nothing.
Just go on back in the bedroom.
Does this have something to do with how we got the baby? No questions.
That was the arrangement.
Please just go sit in the bedroom and wait.
I'll take the baby.
No.
Everything is fine, Sandra.
Please, just go.
I know you're scared.
You're a Company man, and this little baby is your assignment.
You're thinking, how can she possibly be your daughter when they could take her away from you at any moment? You're trying so hard, but you can't let yourself love her.
What is this? Are you one of them? You a mind reader? Something like that.
Believe me.
This little baby will be in your life for at least 16 more years, and many more, hopefully, after that.
She's gonna need you to protect her from so many things, terrible things.
But you're gonna love each other so much.
How do you know all this? No, don't answer that.
Why not? It's the Company, okay? They want to take her back, just for a minute, but they're going to do something to her and it's gonna change everything.
This little baby, your Claire-bear, she's fine just the way she is.
Trust me.
Claire-bear, huh? Thank you.
Hiro? Hiro! Your silence betrays you.
What? No, I'm fine.
You know, I was just thinking, it's too bad the eclipse had to end.
The world would be a lot simpler without powers.
To kill one's own father is a horrible thing.
He tried to kill my brother.
He took away my powers.
He'd kill me if he had to.
But he didn't.
You and I both know the world isn't safe with my father in it.
But I also know you, Peter.
You want to save the world.
You always have.
It's that part of you that wants to save your father.
Give the gun to me.
I'll do it.
No.
Just like your brother was your responsibility, this one's mine.
Is something wrong? No.
No.
Hmm.
It does kind of tingle.
I found it in some guy's locker after he got canned.
I had no idea how much it was worth.
Every fanboy in the city's been trying to grab it.
My life's been a living hell.
I don't understand.
This is how it ends? What's happened to Hiro? Maybe it's not so bad.
Right.
Maybe this is just the cover to get people to buy it.
Hiro will come back.
He has to.
Cheerleader, it's over.
We can go home now.
Hey, you speak English.
I thought that It's a long story.
Just know that I have taken the catalyst.
The light is in me now.
We have saved the future.
Wait.
You put the catalyst in you? Guess I showed up just in time.
Keep away, Arthur Petrelli.
I will save the cheerleader again.
I don't think so.
I'll take the catalyst and your powers, too, Hiro.
You're a dead man.
No! Hiro.
As for you, I need you to deliver a message for me.
Tell Angela it's over.
I won.
Hello? Cheerleader? Hello! Anybody there? Help! Help.
Please.
I can't believe it.
Hiro is stuck back in time Maybe it isn't all bad news.
Arthur Petrelli has the catalyst.
He can perfect the formula.
Yeah, wait, he can give people powers, so that means that there can be another time traveler.
Someone to save Hiro.
Maybe it could be me.
I can go back in time and save Hiro.
We got to find the formula.
How do we find the formula? Doctor.
Ready to change the world? ID, please.
We'll need 50 doses to begin, one for every Marine.
We'll just try it on one first.
Let's make sure this thing works.
No offense.
What is it? Nothing.
Just a minor inconvenience.
Call your first Marine.
I'll be back.
Peter, I'm glad you're here.
Nathan and I have just been Don't be ridiculous.
So, you're here to kill me.
I'm here to stop you.
Creating abilities like this, giving them out, you'll destroy the world.
In your opinion.
I've seen it.
This ends now.
I don't think you have the nerve to kill me, Peter.
I like your choice.
Very all-American.
We could put him on a poster.
Where's my father? We don't need him.
You're in charge, remember? All right.
Let's do this.
What the hell happened to you? - Mistake.
Hopefully, this formula will fix all that.
Wait.
What's in there? It's all right, Scott.
Who is this guy? What's happening? I'm not sure.
He's too strong.
I cannot hold his powers back.
Listen to me, son.
There is another way.
The formula is ready.
Nathan is here.
I can give you your abilities back.
We can start over.
No.
Wait! Peter! Just wait.
Shoot him now.
That's your problem, son.
Too much thought, not enough action.
How could you be my son? Hello, Arthur.
Gabriel.
You're here.
I am.
No place I'd rather be than with family.
Are you really my family? Of course.
I'm your father.
No, you're not.
Now I know the truth.
You're not a killer, Peter.
I am.
There'll be no need for that.
I'm not gonna kill you.
You don't have anything I need anymore.
I'm sorry, Peter.
Your father was the one who had to die.
Go after Sylar.
It's over.
How do you feel? I feel good.
