Heroes s04e18 Episode Script

Previously on Heroes.
Wait a second.
Is that Claire? - Hello, Claire.
- Samuel wants to surrender.
Really? Why? To protect his family.
He's willing to turn himself over as long as the rest of the carnival stays safe and under the grid.
I found him on the hill.
With this.
Peter, she's going to kill thousands of people.
It will be a bloodbath.
Tell me exactly what you saw.
You cannot save her.
But someone else can.
Don't worry.
I'm here to save you.
He's trapped, Peter.
What the hell did you do? I went inside his head and I trapped him in his worst nightmare.
He'll never hurt anyone again.
- I have to bring him back.
- No.
No, you can't do that.
You go into his head, you might not come out.
Peter! Peter, don't! Peter! No! Peter! Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Peter? Is that really you? I came to get you out of here.
It is you, isn't it? I thought I was alone here, that everyone was dead.
- What are you doing here? - I came to drag your sorry ass out of here.
Now, let's go.
There is no getting our of here, Peter.
I've tried.
For three years.
Three years? What are you talking about? It's been three hours.
Wait a minute.
You're not really here.
You're not real.
This is my mind, isn't ii? This is my mind playing tricks on me as part of my punishment, isn't it? You think I'm gonna let you taunt me? You stay away.
If you follow me, I will kill you.
Do you understand me? Sylar! I swear I'll kill you.
Get out of my head! Calm down.
I'm telling you the truth.
I came to take you out of here.
Why do you keep saying that? I went to Parkman's house to look for you.
He put you here.
- This is a dream.
- No, it's not a dream! This is real.
You really don't understand that this is all just a nightmare? Hell, yes, it's a nightmare.
Three years completely alone.
Not years, hours.
All right? Parkman trapped you here.
- Parkman? That's impossible.
- Is it? What's the last thing you remember before coming here? I remember wanting my life to change.
Thinking I was going to spend all of eternity alone.
Exactly.
And here you are.
Look, I've got Parkman's ability.
I can take you out of here.
Why would you want to do that? The brother of the man I murdered coming to my aid? Because I need you to help me.
Look, I could leave you hereto rot, but I need you to save her, my friend, Emma.
In the dream, you save her before she kills thousands of people.
No.
You got the wrong guy.
I'm not the saviour kind.
You should know that better than anybody.
It's gonna happen, and you're gonna save her.
Fine.
You really think you can get us out of here? Let me see you try.
Go ahead.
See? We're not going anywhere.
We're trapped here, forever.
- We've gotta do something with her - That we will, Eli.
If you'll excuse me.
I want to see my father.
He's safe.
Unharmed.
Which is more than he deserves after shooting into a crowd of innocent people.
My dad didn't shoot anyone.
If he had, you would be dead.
You're not that naive, are you, Claire? Your father came to this carnival with a gun, intent on using it.
Isn't that why you tried to negotiate my surrender? Because you were afraid he was gonna do something like this? No.
I want to see my father now.
Your devotion to your father is touching, but you're blinded by it.
It's time for you to open your eyes and see your father for who he really is.
I know who he is.
And nothing you say to me is going to change that.
Of course not.
That's why I'm going to show you.
- Dad.
- Claire.
Thank God, you're all right.
Untie him.
Not quite yet.
Damian? Damian has the ability to reveal a person's memories.
It's fairly painless if you don't fight it.
You think showing me my dad's memories is going to enlighten me? You deserve to know the truth.
Let her go, Samuel.
You don't need her any more.
You're afraid she'll see the real you, Bennet? Don't do this.
Take a peek, Claire.
See where it all began.
All right, now, this one has it all.
Whitewalls, wire wheel covers, wood grain.
Everything.
The kids will love it.
What's the payment look like? Hundred-and-fifty a month.
I know.
That's That's kind of steep.
Right, look You didn't hear this from me, but you guys should go to Val's Discount Motors on La Cienega.
They've got the same model, maybe a year older.
Probably half of what you'll pay here.
Thanks.
We really appreciate that.
Guess who? Let me see.
Soft, lovely hands.
Long, supple fingers.
I don't know.
Candy? - Candy? - I'm in trouble.
It's my wife.
What are you doing here? I just thought I'd come by and see how the world's most handsome salesman is doing.
Well, if I see him, I'll ask him.
Me, not so good.
I stink at this job.
I have no killer instinct.
You don't belong here.
- You should be home, writing plays.
- Well, somebody has to pay the rent.
Who needs money? We can live on love.
Wouldn't that be nice? What's going on? Something wrong? I hope not.
It's just I have some unexpected news.
And promise me you won't get mad.
Kate, what is it? I'm pregnant.
I know.
I know.
We didn't plan this.
And you always want to be the man with the plan.
Noah? You're happy? Of course I'm happy.
I'm gonna be a father.
You had another wife and family? I'm sorry I never told you.
No.
It doesn't matter.
Let him go.
You're not the least bit curious about what happened to your father's first wife? No.
No, it's his business.
If he wanted me to know There are reasons he kept it secret from you, Claire.
Isn't that right? You let her go.
You got what you wanted, someone to blame.
Me.
Look at the fear in his eyes.
He knows what's coming.
I'll leave you with Damian.
I think you'll find it very informative, Claire.
Don't do this, you son of a bitch.
Did you order poi stickers? Double order.
You're eating for two now.
Can you believe this? You and me, parents.
What's it gonna be like? I have no idea.
But I can't wait to find out.
The mu shu has arrived.
Go, Go.
- Delivery.
- Yep.
What happened to Mr Yin? He usually delivers.
Yeah.
He He couldn't make it.
So, how much do I owe you? All of it.
- Noah! - I can't move.
- What did you do? - Where's the rest of the money? How did you do that? Kate, give him your purse.
- This is it? - That's all we've got.
Take it and go.
What are you? No.
Kate.
Oh, my God.
Kate.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Kate.
Give it up, man.
Can't go forever without talking to me.
I mean, you've gone a month.
That's impressive.
There isn't anybody out there.
There never will be.
I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life here, alone with you.
It isn't exactly heaven for me' either.
Here.
I know you like comics.
Couldn't find Doc Savage or Flash What the hell is wrong with you? You need to stop messing around and focus.
Focus.
right.
'Cause we gotta get out of here, so we can go rescue What's her name, again? Emma.
Her name's Emma.
It's time to face reality, Peter.
That girl is gone, and if she was meant to kill thousands, they're dead, too.
Everybody's dead except us.
The only thing that's real is us.
You think you've been here for years, but this is all just a dream.
If this is all a dream, how are there books, huh? - How did Parkman make books? - Because it's your dream.
How could I possibly know all the words to Pillars of the Earth or Catch-22? I don't know.
Maybe you read it somewhere and it's in your subconscious.
Yeah, well, I didn't read 9th Wonders! I did.
- So now we're in your head? - I don't know! I don't know how this all works.
- Don't you wanna get out of here? - Yeah.
Of course.
You don't, do you? - You don't want to get out of here.
- Maybe I deserve all this aloneness.
This nothing.
Maybe I earned it.
Yeah, maybe you have.
But I can't do this on my own.
I need you to help me.
Okay? All right, Peter.
You want me to help you? I want to help.
Where did that come from? That's the wall from Parkman's basement.
What's it doing here? - This is our way out.
- What? Don't you get it? We have to break through.
Can I help you? I was just leaving.
You're hurt.
Let me see.
I'm a doctor.
Please.
You don't have to do this.
I don't want you to get in trouble.
I have a hearing loss.
Say that again.
My name is Lauren.
I came here to stop Samuel Sullivan.
You're with the man who shot everybody.
Bennet Bennet never fired his gun.
Your leader, Samuel, is not what he appears to be.
He's the one responsible.
He wouldn't shoot his own people.
You're wrong.
He's done terrible things, and now he's trying to galvanise his people around a common enemy.
I gotta check in with the doc.
Samuel is coming.
Don't tell him I'm here.
Everything all right? We are not alone, are we? We don't keep secrets here.
She said that you're a bad man.
You did all this.
Shot your own people -- No.
She's misinformed.
Let me talk to her.
You can leave.
It's all right.
I just want to talk.
Well, look what we have here.
Your first wife was murdered by a special? Yeah.
It was a long time ago.
And the person I was then died that night with Kate.
I'm sorry I never told you, Claire.
That's okay.
Some things you just can't say out loud.
But that's the reason why you joined the Company.
That's how you became Mr Bag-and-Tag.
No.
I don't need to see any more.
Don't move.
- What, you want my wallet? Take it.
- I said don't move.
I'm not after your money.
What, then? Information.
I know what you are.
I know what you can do.
- How? - It doesn't matter.
I'm looking for somebody.
One of you.
One of me? What? What are you talking about? You mean, there's someone else like me? Don't give me that.
What you do isn't normal.
You have to know each other.
The guy I'm looking for is named Richard.
He's about six feet tall, got dark hair, maybe 23 years old.
He can move things with his mind.
He killed my wife.
I don't know anyone else like me.
I swear.
I don't believe you.
It was an accident.
- You brought a gun.
- I didn't know what I would find.
I was scared.
That's the first time you killed anyone, huh? What happens next? One owner, low miles.
Hottest car I got in the lot.
It's the best I can do.
So take it or leave it.
- Well, I thought you said - If you don't want it, I got another buyer over here just chomping at the bit.
What's it going to be? I guess we'll take it.
Excellent choice.
I'll have my manager draw up the papers.
Excuse me.
Hey, there.
Can I interest you in a car? Not really.
I'm hereto offer you a job.
- Do I know you? - We've been watching you.
The way you killed that special, the repairman.
We'd been tracking him, too, only you got there first.
Relax.
Your secret is safe with us.
We're impressed.
So impressed, in fact, we'd like you to come work for us.
Who are you? My name is Thompson.
My associates and I can help you find the man who killed your wife.
And then you can help us find the rest.
How's it working out for you, the "one of us, one of them"? To tell you the truth, it's been quite an adjustment.
I mean, Claude can go invisible any time he wants.
- It gives him a distinct advantage.
- Advantage? You're supposed to be partners.
What is it? Trust issues? I mean, how could it not be? He's abnormal.
I mean, sometimes, when I'm alone, I get this feeling in my gut that he's watching me, you know what I mean? Yeah.
I do.
You know, your case is highly unusual, Bennet.
How you came to our attention what happened to your wife.
It would be only natural that you would harbour a grudge.
What are you getting at? Seventeen cases, three deaths.
All attributed to you.
They were all accidents.
That's been verified.
Two corned beefs.
You boys need anything else? No, we're all set.
Thanks.
At this point, the Company has too much invested in you to cut ties, but we do need you to make a change.
Take a wife.
Start a family.
Is that a joke? No.
it'll put your life in balance, calm you down, so there will be fewer incidents.
A wife? - I can't do that again.
- Sure you can.
That cute number who brought the sandwiches will do fine.
And if I refuse? You won't.
It's like the Company arranged your marriage.
They encouraged me, but I chose your mother because I loved her.
You know that.
The Company seems to make a lot of decisions for you.
Made.
They made a lot of decisions, and that's all over with.
Everything you're seeing now, all of it all of the memories, that's all they are.
It's just the past.
Hello, Gretchen.
Hey, Mr Bennet, what are you doing here? I came to see Claire.
You wouldn't happen to know where she is, would you? No idea.
You don't have to lie for her.
I know that Claire stole the compass, and I would bet good money the two of you drove out to the carnival together.
My question is, why didn't she come back with you? She wanted to stay.
She said she'd be back on Monday.
You left her there? Do you not see what's happening? That she is getting involved in something that she clearly doesn't understand? Maybe she wants to understand it.
This isn't a game.
These carnival people are killers.
You don't think I know that? She needs to be with people like her.
If they're not good for her, you have to trust her to know the difference.
You have to stop encouraging her.
You need to work with me on this, Gretchen.
I want her to be happy.
She is happy with you, here, in college, living a normal life.
What if that's not enough for her? It has to be.
What's he doing here? Are you gonna erase my memory? No.
Not if you do what I ask.
You were missing.
I didn't know how to find you, if I would find you.
- You don't trust me.
- I don't trust Samuel.
- And Gretchen is fine.
- You threatened her.
And this was not some distant past.
This was now' Claire! Claire! Hey! You should eat.
Don't need to eat.
Don't need to sleep.
Don't need anything.
AW progress today? No.
It's just like yesterday, and the day before that.
And the day before that.
Now, it's been I don't even know how long it's been.
Don't tell me how long it's been.
Can't even dent it, Peter.
I don't know how much longer you can keep this up.
As long as it takes.
I know that look.
You have it all the time.
What look? Like when Howie Kaplan beat you at the 50-yard dash, and you and I ran to school every morning and kept training, and kept it up, right? That's Nathan's memory.
That's not yours.
I told you to stop doing that.
You're not him.
You're nothing like him.
So you've told me.
Look, Peter, I know that I've said it before, but I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I killed him.
I'm sorry that I took him from you.
I'm Sorry! You keep saying that.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" It's not gonna bring my brother back! - It doesn't change anything.
- You're right! Nothing changes! We're stuck here forever.
You and me.
I can't take it any more.
You're with that Company.
Cut from the same cloth as Bennet.
This doesn't have to end badly for you.
You can turn yourself in.
Release Bennet and his daughter.
- Why would I want to do that? - Because you love your family and you don't want them to get hurt.
And they will get hurt.
You people are always so sure of yourselves.
Don't you think I would know what's best for my own family? And what is that? Change.
We're strong enough to show ourselves, take what's rightfully ours.
You don't have the right to take anything.
Of course we do.
We deserve admiration, respect.
And you intend to hurt people to get it? What would you have me do? Continue with this life? Live in a carnival? Why not? You've lived here happily for years.
Wasted years, unfulfilled years.
I could have been so much more.
You know about me? About the film? Do you know how powerful I can really be if I brought them all here? My brother said I could move mountains, cities.
I wonder, is it true? Can I change the world? I hope to God we never find out.
What did the world ever do to you? Should've treated me better.
Don't do this, please.
Samuel? The Bennet girl left the House of Mirrors.
Well, we'll just have to have a word with her.
It's time to gather the family.
Tell them to pack up.
We're moving on to bigger and better things.
Tell them it's gonna be the greatest show we've ever done.
You've been quite helpful, Lauren.
Eli, you and your friends take care of her, would you? Thanks.
What are you gonna do? I'm gonna end this.
I can't bring Nathan back, Peter, but I can sure as hell swing a sledgehammer.
I'm sorry to put you through that, Claire.
But I hope through this painful experience, you can finally see the truth.
Yeah.
You were right, Samuel.
My dad is a bad guy.
I belong with you.
You're my hero.
That's what you want to hear, right? That's what this is all about? Why didn't you show me the memory my dad has of shooting Lydia, huh? Or was that just not on the program? Maybe he didn't pull the trigger last night, but does that negate all the times that he has? Your father, to this day, lies to you, deceives even you, his darling daughter, because he can't trust any of us.
You actually thought that I would turn on him? You just don't understand, do you, huh? Maybe it was 'cause no one ever really loved you.
You call these people your family, but they're not.
They fear you.
Give me my dad, and we're leaving.
No.
Sorry.
You're too important to me, Claire.
Especially now, when everything's ready to change.
What's going on? Where's everyone going? I was talking to a new friend about who I am, what I can be.
And the way she looked at me, she was so afraid.
I want to see that look again, a thousand times over.
Meaning what? It's time for our biggest show ever.
No more hiding in the shadows.
It's time to show ourselves, be strong.
We're going to New York City.
Bring the whole place to Central Park.
Then we'll show them how powerful we are.
You can't do that.
Some lives will unfortunately be lost, but they will learn lo fear us, respect us.
- It's what we've always wanted.
- I have never wanted that.
Claire, you will inherit this new world.
It's your legacy.
And you will remind them of what I've done long after I've gone.
That's why it's so important for you to be a part of our family.
You are desperate.
And you're small.
I will never be a part of your family.
You sound just like your father.
I had so hoped to convince you.
Maybe in time you'll change your mind.
Don't hold your breath.
Right.
Your fathers back in the souvenir trailer.
I had a little trouble with the government lady.
We were playing some cat and mouse, but the mouse got away.
- So you want me to go find her? - Not worth it.
- Everything okay? - It will be.
Claire Bennet needs some time to think about my offer.
I'm going to give her that opportunity.
Claire, I want to explain what you saw.
We'll talk about it later.
What is that? Now, I'm ready to go.
New York City.
Sounds fun.
It will be.
I'm afraid you have to join us later.
There's some loose ends to attend to.
Before Lydia died, she spoke of people who want to interfere with our plans.
I'll need you to slop them.
Permanently.
Happy Birthday.
It's not my birthday.
Yeah.
I know.
You just wore out your other copy, and I saw that one digging around.
I appreciate you being patient with me.
Keeping me sane.
It's very kind of you, Peter.
Thank you.
You want to know something weird? Every time you pick that thing up, I think you're going to hit me with it, really hard.
That is weird.
Because every time I pick it up, I feel like I'm gonna hit you with it, too, really hard.
Why? Because you are who you are.
I wish I could accept your apologies.
But if I forgive you, then I'm not doing right by him.
Nathan.
If you let go of your anger, you're afraid you'll lose him forever? So you've held on to it this entire time? I feel it slipping away, but when I look at you and I see you killing him.
You took my brother away from me.
We've been here for I don't know how many years, together.
I've changed.
I've repented.
I'm never going to hurt anyone ever again.
And all this time, you were afraid to let me out.
Peter.
I'm not that guy any more, Peter.
You know that.
I know.
I know you're not.
How long has it been, really? Half a day, maybe.
Feels like we were in there for years.
Yeah.
Does that make it any less real? Let's go save Emma.
Yeah.
Sorry to break up the love fest, but I'm hereto make sure that that doesn't happen.
There's no signal.
Claire.
- You're all right? - Yeah.
You? Yeah.
Here, help me get these ropes off.
Is that a lantern over there? - We're buried.
- How far down do you think we are? I don't know.
Felt like we dropped 40 or 50 feet.
Hello? Anybody hear us? Help! Can anybody hear us? Somebody get us out!
