Heroes s04e19 Episode Script
Brave New World
Previously on Heroes.
Get out of my head! - This is a dream.
- No, it's not a dream! I came to take you out of here.
In the dream, Emma, my friend, you save her before she kills thousands of people.
You really think you can get us out of here? Let me see you try.
Charlie was my heart, my world, my happily ever after.
I did everything I could to try and save her life.
Where is Charlie? I'm the only one who knows exactly where your sweet Charlie is.
Please help him.
It is our intent to prove that the defendant abused his power to bend space and time selfishly and repeatedly.
One more outburst -- Or what? I've come to heal you.
You think showing me my dad's memories is going to enlighten me? Don't do this.
You're afraid she'll see the real you, Bennet? - You brought a gun.
- I was scared.
That's the first time you killed anyone.
You actually thought that I would turn on him? Claire Bennet needs some time to think about my offer.
It's time to gather the family.
We're moving on to bigger and better things.
It's gonna be the greatest show we've ever done.
Dad? Dad? I'm here.
There's no signal.
Claire, you okay? - Yeah.
You? - Yeah.
Here, help me get these ropes off.
Lantern over there? - We're buried.
- How far down do you think we are? I don't know.
Felt like we dropped about 40 or 50 feet.
Hello? Can anyone hear us? Anybody hear us? Help! Hello! Can anybody hear us? Hello! Anybody up there? Somebody help us! Help! Can anybody hear us? Hello! Can you hear us up there? How long has it been, really? Half a day, maybe.
Feels like we were in there for years.
Is your buddy Samuel here with you? Came alone this time.
So to speak.
And what do you want? Samuel asked me to come here and make sure your friends downstairs aren't a problem for us.
Guess that means you, too.
Sorry to break up the love fest.
Come on.
You're having doubts about this.
Look at you.
Come on, I can tell.
You don't really want to do this.
What I want doesn't matter.
I don't have another choice.
Don't bother.
We got you outnumbered.
You wanna leave right now.
Are you trying to push a thought? All but one of us are pretty thoughtless.
Tonight will be a night unlike any other.
Tonight, we change everything.
For too many years, we've been shamed into believing we're second-class citizens, when the truth is, we're king of the hill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They should aspire to be like us, not the other way around.
So I make this pledge to you.
Tonight, once and for all, we pull back the curtain and reveal ourselves for who we truly are.
After tonight, we will be respected.
Come on.
Don't.
Think about what you're doing.
Don't do this.
Don't Matt? Matt, are you okay? No.
Here.
Sit down.
Okay, okay, okay.
It's just dislocated.
Awesome.
What the hell is he doing here? You wanted to see me? There you are.
Yes.
It's time for your solo.
My what? How do you think all the people are gonna find us? You're gonna bring them here.
I told you, you had a unique gift.
Now it's time to put it to use.
The dream.
What dream? The one Peter told me about.
I played the cello.
Thousands of people will die.
He was right about you.
You disappoint me, Emma.
You can't force me to do anything.
I would have preferred you were a willing participant, but these things happen.
She's all yours, Mr Doyle.
I've always had a thing for blondes.
I was having the most wonderful dream.
You, and me, and Kimiko we were all back working at Yamagata.
Life was simple once, wasn't it? It can be, again.
I'd like that.
I'd like that very much.
What are you doing out of bed? If we want our simple, happy life back we have to fight for it.
Are you sure you're well enough? And what of your brain surgery? Are you healed? Do you have full command of your powers back? Are you sure you're well enough? And what of your brain surgery? Are you healed? Do you have full command of your powers back? Yes.
At least wait to see the doctor.
I've had enough doctors.
There is much work to be done.
We must stop the evil Butterfly Man.
- Excuse me.
Hiro Nakamura? - Yes.
The woman in Room 1106 asked me to give this to you.
Great Scott! I trapped him in a nightmare.
What the hell is he doing out? You did this.
- It's a long story.
- It's a long story.
But right now, we need to know what Samuel is planning.
- When and where.
- Thousands of people are in danger, Matt.
Get in his head, Matt.
Tell us what you see.
Why? So you guys can run off and be superheroes together? This is ridiculous.
Peter, come on.
He's a monster.
I can't believe you'd actually trust him.
If you want something done Samuel's gonna show the world his powers.
New York City.
Central Park.
Tonight.
What does he mean "show his power"? He's gonna open up the ground.
Kill them all.
Bury them.
That sounds like a plan I'd come up with back in the day.
You say that like it wasn't yesterday.
I'm not that person any more, Matt.
I know it's hard to understand.
We got what we need.
Let's go.
You're not going anywhere.
If you leave with Sylar, people are gonna end up dead and that'll be on you.
I can't let that happen.
Let's go.
- Come on.
Let's go.
- I'm not going anywhere.
- What are you talking about? - That would be me.
See.
I can still push a thought.
I told you, Peter, I'm not letting him out of here.
We're too deep.
No, we're not.
We could dig our way out.
Might take a while, but We'll run out of oxygen way before that.
The more we dig, the faster we'll run out of air.
Or more precisely, the faster I'll run out of air.
Your lungs will keep regenerating.
What are you saying? It's futile.
What do you mean "futile"? We have to find some way out of here.
I think I know why Samuel put you down here with me.
So you could watch me die.
Lure them in.
Charlie? Really? How is that possible? Who else would send an origami crane? Excuse me.
My God.
When I saw the nurse's chart said "Hiro Nakamura," I couldn't believe it.
It's been an awful long time, Hiro.
Ever since the Burnt Toast Diner.
Sixty-five years ago.
Charlie? We have to focus.
We have to think of something.
- Claire - Dad, you have a plan.
I know you have a plan.
What is it? There is no plan.
Now, I need to talk to you about what you saw up there in the House of Mirrors.
- Why? - Because you're gonna survive this.
If it takes a month, you will get out of here.
- I'm not going to.
- That's not true.
- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.
And there are things that I need to say to you.
What you saw up there, all of it, it's all true.
But it's not the whole truth.
Dad, you don't have to do this No.
We are all products of our own experiences, good and bad.
Everything that's happened to me has made me who I am, but it can't explain what I've become.
You're my dad, for better or for worse.
Don't protect me, Claire! That's my job.
To protect me from the rest of the world? Yes, exactly.
And that's why you believe that people like me can't live out in the open? It doesn't matter what I believe any more because the whole world is about to find out about you.
We can thank Samuel for that.
Maybe it won't be so bad.
Maybe the world is more ready than you think it is.
Things change.
Sure.
There might be curiosity for a while, but all it takes is one Sylar and then the pitchforks come out and all hell breaks loose.
I've seen it.
They will turn on you, Claire.
It's human nature.
You're right.
Things change.
But people don't.
Sylar killed your brother, Peter.
He killed Nathan.
I've repented.
Yeah.
During the nightmare.
Right.
'Cause that lasted all of, what, a couple hours? Not to us, Matt.
That was five years.
Look, you heard what Samuel's planning.
We can stop him.
I don't expect you to understand what happened in the nightmare.
And I don't expect you to forgive me.
Good.
'Cause that'll never happen.
I've done so much wrong to so many people.
Just give me a chance to redeem myself.
Matt, I've been inside of your head, so I have a pretty good idea of what it takes to be a good person.
Go inside mine, and you make the call.
You see it.
Right here.
No.
What I saw was inside your twisted mind.
That wasn't your heart.
I can prove it.
Just give me a chance.
You need to trust us, Matt.
Fine.
Just get Get the hell out of my home.
Let's go.
Now you are gonna do exactly what I tell you to do.
Emma's doing an incredible job.
It's quite a crowd.
They've all come out to see us.
See us do what? Our acts? What else would I be referring to? Those news cameras did you invite them, too? The world needs to meet us, Edgar.
It's the biggest show we've ever done.
You seem nervous.
You aren't nervous, are you? Excited.
Tonight changes everything.
For all of us.
He was there waiting as I left the Burnt Toast that day.
Some old man, said he was a friend of Samuel Sullivan.
Put his hand on my shoulder.
Next thing I knew, I was on a street corner in Milwaukee.
It was January 26th, 1944.
Oh, no.
It was cold.
I was scared.
I didn't know a soul.
And I missed you.
And you lived all this lime.
I got a job in a munitions factory.
All the girls did back then.
Did you realise ii takes 108 pounds of rivets to hold the wing of a P-51 Mustang in place? Unless, of course, you use the 14-gauge, instead of the 16-gauge Charlie, I'm so sorry.
This was all my fault.
I led the evil Butterï¬y Man right to you.
It is because I loved you that he sent you away.
When I said I was the product of my experiences, I left out the most important part.
You.
You came into my life, and you changed everything.
The man you saw up there in those memories could never have died a happy man, but I can.
- Because of you.
- No, no, no.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
Try to find a way to forgive me, Claire.
No.
I don't need to forgive you.
I need to thank you.
I am who I am because of you.
I love you.
I love you, too, Claire-bear.
That's why I want you to promise me something.
- That you'll hide.
- What? The world doesn't have to know about you.
You can stay in.
You can blend in.
You can pass, Claire.
You know how to do it.
Dad, we don't have to do this We could find a way out.
I want you to promise me you'll stay hidden, Claire.
Please.
It's my dying wish, Claire.
- Please.
- No.
- Promise me.
- No.
Dad? No.
No! Dad? Dad, no! No! Tracy? I don't know what to do.
He's dying.
Not if I can help it.
- Dad.
- Noah.
- Tracy.
- We have to get you through 30 feet of dirt.
- You ready? - Yeah.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
- You're gonna owe me one.
- He will, as soon as we get out of here.
I hope you can swim.
Noah! Noah! Dad, are you okay? Yeah.
Tracy saved us.
I know.
I called her.
The carnival's gone? They're in New York.
Central Park.
I lined up a chopper.
It'll take us right into Manhattan.
It'll be here any second.
- Where is she? - She said you owe her one.
We've gotta go.
Don't beat yourself up, Hiro.
I would have waited for you, but by the time you were born, I was middle-aged.
I'm just so happy I got to see you before You're not well.
The good news is, that brain aneurysm never bothered me again after your weird doctor friend cured me.
Unfortunately, pretty much everything else is about to give out.
I can fix this, Charlie.
Fix this? How do you mean? I can fix everything.
I'm sorry.
Will you excuse us for one minute? What do you mean, "fix it"? I will go back to 1944 and take her right back to the Burnt Toast Diner.
There is no such thing as stepping on a "small butterfly.
" All I am doing is righting a terrible wrong.
So that she can lead a normal life.
Exactly.
Ah, so you are doing this for her, not for you.
Absolutely.
He's done it.
He's brought in thousands of people.
This is gonna be a massacre.
We gotta find the backstage area.
You know where it is? Yeah.
It's back that way.
All right.
Let's split up.
You go that way and I'll head off this way.
- Okay.
- Claire, be careful.
You, too.
This way.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- The dream.
- What? All these people were all here.
Like lambs to the slaughter.
It's not gonna happen, Peter.
Go find Samuel.
I'll save Emma.
Peter, your dream said I save her.
Trust me.
It's an emergency.
Tell Hiro he needs to get here as fast as he can.
Where do you think you're going? Don't worry.
I've come to save you.
What brings you to The Big Apple? Everybody.
Everybody, listen to me.
Please.
Please.
Okay? We need to get you as far away from Samuel as possible.
You don't belong here, Claire.
Look, I know what he told you about tonight.
That you're coming out, and that you're gonna be able to live out in the open.
And trust me, there is nobody who wants that more than me, but this is not your coming-out party.
This is his.
Well, look who finally came up for air.
What are you doing here, Claire? You're not part of this family.
You're right.
I'm not.
But let me ask you something.
Does your family know what you're planning to do here tonight? Why don't you tell them? He's gonna kill all of those people out there.
That's how he's gonna introduce you to the world.
Why would he do that, Claire? He's given us all new life.
If he hadn't found me, I'd still be living out in that park.
Homeless.
They know the truth, Claire.
Tonight is our night.
I never wanted to hurt your family, Edgar.
Ask yourself if that's true of Samuel.
He killed his own brother.
I'm only here to stop him from murdering a lot of other people.
Then you and I have the same goal.
I can't just kill him in front of the others, and you strike me as the kind of man with a plan.
So what do we do? It's simple.
I'll be waiting for you in 1944.
When you pop in on that snowy street corner, I'll take you back to Burnt Toast Diner, right where I left you.
And I'd be young again.
And we can finally build a life together.
That sounds nice.
But, Hiro, I already had a life.
I had a wonderful life.
Sixty-five years is a long time.
Grandma! Hey, there, honeysuckle.
Where's Mommy and Daddy? They're talking to the nurse.
Sally, this is an old friend of mine.
His name is Hiro.
That's a funny name.
- Hello, Sally.
- Hi.
Sally, go find Mommy and Daddy so they can meet Hiro, okay? Okay.
Hiro After the war, I married a wonderful man.
We had four children.
I now have seven beautiful grandchildren.
We had a home' friends, cherished memories.
A life.
If I were to go back now and lead a different life, what would happen with all of that? What would happen to Sally? Hiro I just heard from Noah Bennet.
He needs us.
Now.
It is over.
The damsel has found her happy ending.
My herds journey has come to an end.
I have no more quests.
Really? Because Noah Bennet just found Samuel Sullivan.
The carnival is in New York.
Central Park.
Destiny calls Destiny calls.
Doyle, I don't want to hurt you.
Just let her go, please.
Since when do you ask politely? A lot of people are gonna die if we don't stop this.
Are you a shape-shifter? Is that Dudley Do-Right in there? You can't hold us here forever.
I don't plan on it.
Just long enough for Samuel to finish the show.
Isn't that right, Em? I don't think she heard me.
Are you okay? Sylar, please.
Listen to me.
- Please.
Samuel made me do it.
- Really? Because I thought you were the puppet master.
Come on.
What do you care about this girl, anyway? I am here to save her.
That's not you.
You're like me.
No.
I'm a hero.
You think you're here to save them, Claire, but they don't need saving.
They know what I've done for them.
Do they know that you gain your strength from them? You are the source of his power.
Without you, he is nothing.
That's why Joseph was keeping this family small for all those years, because he knew.
He knew how powerful Samuel could be.
That he would lose control, just like he did when he buried that town.
But you all walk away now, and he will be weak.
He will be ordinary.
He will be nothing.
I think we've all heard enough.
Am I right? He's using you, and that's what Joseph was trying to keep from happening.
But why don't you tell them what you did to stop him? - That's enough.
- He killed him.
He killed his own brother.
You think they're going to believe you over me? They'd be lost without me.
There's not one person here who thinks I'm capable of murdering my own brother.
There's one, actually.
Make that two.
Lydia told me everything.
Well, she's not here to confirm that now, is she? - Because he killed her.
- That's a lie.
Isn't it? Tell the truth, Samuel.
You had me kill Lydia.
I did no such thing.
You blamed it on me to justify what you're gonna do tonight.
What? You're gonna believe him after all I've done for you? I know I can't stay in this family after killing one of our own.
But he has to be stopped.
It's up to all of you.
Claire's right.
You walk away and he's powerless.
It's over, Samuel.
Come on.
Let's get out of here.
Wait, wait, wait.
Where're you going? Don't you see? You're victims.
All of you.
Like Joseph.
Run as fast as you can.
You'll never get far enough! Ladies and gentlemen! You want a show? - Yeah! - Yeah! Well, this is the greatest show on Earth! We're too close to him.
Go! We need to get as far away as possible.
You seem to have found my power.
It's funny how that works, huh? I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone now.
Peter, you of all people should know they have to fear us.
That's the only way they'll respect us.
All you've ever wanted is respect.
We both know what it's like to live in the shadow of a brother.
Joseph destroyed my potential, kept me down.
Just like your brother.
My brother didn't let me down.
He built me up.
Hiro.
You need to teleport everyone out of here.
All of you? We need to try.
Everyone.
There are so many.
They all have to be touching.
You heard him.
Everybody join hands.
There are too many.
I can supercharge you.
Supercharge? I'll stay, take care of Samuel.
One, two, three! So, how does it feel to be ordinary? Where'd they all go? They can't have all left.
They're here somewhere.
You can't leave me.
You cowards! Where are you? Come back here! You're nothing without me! L gotta say, I never liked carnivals.
Yup.
Are you okay? There was a man named Doyle.
He made me play.
Doyle? Your friend took care of him.
What do you think? I like it.
- Is everyone safe? - Yeah.
Hiro's taking care of them.
They'll be fine.
Who's taking Samuel? Is it a new company? Old one.
Lauren called in some favours.
What's she telling them? - There was a gas main rupture.
- Of course there was.
And all the other stuff, the ï¬ying, the rumbling, all just special effects put on by a very gifted showman.
You still can't see it, can you? - See what? - The future.
One where we all get to live out in the open.
Claire, you know how I feel about this.
How long can we keep this under wraps? Excuse me.
You were witnesses.
What happened? I have no comment.
Can you tell us what you saw here tonight? Come on.
You must have seen something.
What he said.
Miss, please.
You have to have seen something.
Are you sure, Miss? You look like you wanna say something.
Actually, I do have something to say.
Claire.
You're right.
People don't change.
You wanna know what really happened here tonight? Keep the cameras on me.
- Stay with her.
Don't lose her.
- Claire.
Claire.
You getting this? What is she doing? Breaking my heart.
You ready to go home? Yes.
Finally.
What is she doing? It's amazing, Peter.
- What is? - When I saved her, I didn't have a thought for myself.
I could have killed Doyle, but I didn't.
It felt good.
It felt right.
What the hell does she think she's doing? She's gonna change everything.
That's right.
It's a brave new world.
My name is Claire Bennet.
And this is attempt number I guess I've kind of lost count.
Get out of my head! - This is a dream.
- No, it's not a dream! I came to take you out of here.
In the dream, Emma, my friend, you save her before she kills thousands of people.
You really think you can get us out of here? Let me see you try.
Charlie was my heart, my world, my happily ever after.
I did everything I could to try and save her life.
Where is Charlie? I'm the only one who knows exactly where your sweet Charlie is.
Please help him.
It is our intent to prove that the defendant abused his power to bend space and time selfishly and repeatedly.
One more outburst -- Or what? I've come to heal you.
You think showing me my dad's memories is going to enlighten me? Don't do this.
You're afraid she'll see the real you, Bennet? - You brought a gun.
- I was scared.
That's the first time you killed anyone.
You actually thought that I would turn on him? Claire Bennet needs some time to think about my offer.
It's time to gather the family.
We're moving on to bigger and better things.
It's gonna be the greatest show we've ever done.
Dad? Dad? I'm here.
There's no signal.
Claire, you okay? - Yeah.
You? - Yeah.
Here, help me get these ropes off.
Lantern over there? - We're buried.
- How far down do you think we are? I don't know.
Felt like we dropped about 40 or 50 feet.
Hello? Can anyone hear us? Anybody hear us? Help! Hello! Can anybody hear us? Hello! Anybody up there? Somebody help us! Help! Can anybody hear us? Hello! Can you hear us up there? How long has it been, really? Half a day, maybe.
Feels like we were in there for years.
Is your buddy Samuel here with you? Came alone this time.
So to speak.
And what do you want? Samuel asked me to come here and make sure your friends downstairs aren't a problem for us.
Guess that means you, too.
Sorry to break up the love fest.
Come on.
You're having doubts about this.
Look at you.
Come on, I can tell.
You don't really want to do this.
What I want doesn't matter.
I don't have another choice.
Don't bother.
We got you outnumbered.
You wanna leave right now.
Are you trying to push a thought? All but one of us are pretty thoughtless.
Tonight will be a night unlike any other.
Tonight, we change everything.
For too many years, we've been shamed into believing we're second-class citizens, when the truth is, we're king of the hill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They should aspire to be like us, not the other way around.
So I make this pledge to you.
Tonight, once and for all, we pull back the curtain and reveal ourselves for who we truly are.

Don't.
Think about what you're doing.
Don't do this.
Don't Matt? Matt, are you okay? No.

It's just dislocated.
Awesome.

- Claire - Dad, you have a plan.
I know you have a plan.
What is it? There is no plan.
Now, I need to talk to you about what you saw up there in the House of Mirrors.
- Why? - Because you're gonna survive this.
If it takes a month, you will get out of here.
- I'm not going to.
- That's not true.
- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.
And there are things that I need to say to you.
What you saw up there, all of it, it's all true.
But it's not the whole truth.
Dad, you don't have to do this No.
We are all products of our own experiences, good and bad.
Everything that's happened to me has made me who I am, but it can't explain what I've become.
You're my dad, for better or for worse.
Don't protect me, Claire! That's my job.
To protect me from the rest of the world? Yes, exactly.
And that's why you believe that people like me can't live out in the open? It doesn't matter what I believe any more because the whole world is about to find out about you.
We can thank Samuel for that.
Maybe it won't be so bad.
Maybe the world is more ready than you think it is.
Things change.
Sure.
There might be curiosity for a while, but all it takes is one Sylar and then the pitchforks come out and all hell breaks loose.
I've seen it.
They will turn on you, Claire.
It's human nature.
You're right.
Things change.
But people don't.
Sylar killed your brother, Peter.
He killed Nathan.
I've repented.
Yeah.
During the nightmare.
Right.
'Cause that lasted all of, what, a couple hours? Not to us, Matt.
That was five years.
Look, you heard what Samuel's planning.
We can stop him.
I don't expect you to understand what happened in the nightmare.
And I don't expect you to forgive me.
Good.
'Cause that'll never happen.
I've done so much wrong to so many people.
Just give me a chance to redeem myself.
Matt, I've been inside of your head, so I have a pretty good idea of what it takes to be a good person.
Go inside mine, and you make the call.
You see it.
Right here.
No.
What I saw was inside your twisted mind.
That wasn't your heart.
I can prove it.
Just give me a chance.
You need to trust us, Matt.
Fine.
Just get Get the hell out of my home.
Let's go.
Now you are gonna do exactly what I tell you to do.
Emma's doing an incredible job.
It's quite a crowd.
They've all come out to see us.
See us do what? Our acts? What else would I be referring to? Those news cameras did you invite them, too? The world needs to meet us, Edgar.
It's the biggest show we've ever done.
You seem nervous.
You aren't nervous, are you? Excited.
Tonight changes everything.
For all of us.
He was there waiting as I left the Burnt Toast that day.
Some old man, said he was a friend of Samuel Sullivan.
Put his hand on my shoulder.
Next thing I knew, I was on a street corner in Milwaukee.
It was January 26th, 1944.
Oh, no.
It was cold.
I was scared.
I didn't know a soul.
And I missed you.
And you lived all this lime.
I got a job in a munitions factory.
All the girls did back then.
Did you realise ii takes 108 pounds of rivets to hold the wing of a P-51 Mustang in place? Unless, of course, you use the 14-gauge, instead of the 16-gauge Charlie, I'm so sorry.
This was all my fault.
I led the evil Butterï¬y Man right to you.
It is because I loved you that he sent you away.
When I said I was the product of my experiences, I left out the most important part.
You.
You came into my life, and you changed everything.
The man you saw up there in those memories could never have died a happy man, but I can.
- Because of you.
- No, no, no.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
Try to find a way to forgive me, Claire.
No.
I don't need to forgive you.
I need to thank you.
I am who I am because of you.
I love you.
I love you, too, Claire-bear.
That's why I want you to promise me something.
- That you'll hide.
- What? The world doesn't have to know about you.
You can stay in.
You can blend in.
You can pass, Claire.
You know how to do it.
Dad, we don't have to do this We could find a way out.
I want you to promise me you'll stay hidden, Claire.
Please.
It's my dying wish, Claire.
- Please.
- No.
- Promise me.
- No.
Dad? No.
No! Dad? Dad, no! No! Tracy? I don't know what to do.
He's dying.
Not if I can help it.
- Dad.
- Noah.
- Tracy.
- We have to get you through 30 feet of dirt.
- You ready? - Yeah.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
- You're gonna owe me one.
- He will, as soon as we get out of here.
I hope you can swim.
Noah! Noah! Dad, are you okay? Yeah.
Tracy saved us.
I know.
I called her.
The carnival's gone? They're in New York.
Central Park.
I lined up a chopper.
It'll take us right into Manhattan.
It'll be here any second.
- Where is she? - She said you owe her one.
We've gotta go.
Don't beat yourself up, Hiro.
I would have waited for you, but by the time you were born, I was middle-aged.
I'm just so happy I got to see you before You're not well.
The good news is, that brain aneurysm never bothered me again after your weird doctor friend cured me.
Unfortunately, pretty much everything else is about to give out.
I can fix this, Charlie.
Fix this? How do you mean? I can fix everything.
I'm sorry.
Will you excuse us for one minute? What do you mean, "fix it"? I will go back to 1944 and take her right back to the Burnt Toast Diner.
There is no such thing as stepping on a "small butterfly.
" All I am doing is righting a terrible wrong.
So that she can lead a normal life.
Exactly.
Ah, so you are doing this for her, not for you.
Absolutely.
He's done it.
He's brought in thousands of people.
This is gonna be a massacre.
We gotta find the backstage area.
You know where it is? Yeah.
It's back that way.
All right.
Let's split up.
You go that way and I'll head off this way.
- Okay.
- Claire, be careful.
You, too.
This way.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- The dream.
- What? All these people were all here.
Like lambs to the slaughter.
It's not gonna happen, Peter.
Go find Samuel.
I'll save Emma.
Peter, your dream said I save her.
Trust me.
It's an emergency.
Tell Hiro he needs to get here as fast as he can.
Where do you think you're going? Don't worry.
I've come to save you.
What brings you to The Big Apple? Everybody.
Everybody, listen to me.
Please.
Please.
Okay? We need to get you as far away from Samuel as possible.
You don't belong here, Claire.
Look, I know what he told you about tonight.
That you're coming out, and that you're gonna be able to live out in the open.
And trust me, there is nobody who wants that more than me, but this is not your coming-out party.
This is his.
Well, look who finally came up for air.
What are you doing here, Claire? You're not part of this family.
You're right.
I'm not.
But let me ask you something.
Does your family know what you're planning to do here tonight? Why don't you tell them? He's gonna kill all of those people out there.
That's how he's gonna introduce you to the world.
Why would he do that, Claire? He's given us all new life.
If he hadn't found me, I'd still be living out in that park.
Homeless.
They know the truth, Claire.
Tonight is our night.
I never wanted to hurt your family, Edgar.
Ask yourself if that's true of Samuel.
He killed his own brother.
I'm only here to stop him from murdering a lot of other people.
Then you and I have the same goal.
I can't just kill him in front of the others, and you strike me as the kind of man with a plan.
So what do we do? It's simple.
I'll be waiting for you in 1944.
When you pop in on that snowy street corner, I'll take you back to Burnt Toast Diner, right where I left you.
And I'd be young again.
And we can finally build a life together.
That sounds nice.
But, Hiro, I already had a life.
I had a wonderful life.
Sixty-five years is a long time.
Grandma! Hey, there, honeysuckle.
Where's Mommy and Daddy? They're talking to the nurse.
Sally, this is an old friend of mine.
His name is Hiro.
That's a funny name.
- Hello, Sally.
- Hi.
Sally, go find Mommy and Daddy so they can meet Hiro, okay? Okay.
Hiro After the war, I married a wonderful man.
We had four children.
I now have seven beautiful grandchildren.
We had a home' friends, cherished memories.
A life.
If I were to go back now and lead a different life, what would happen with all of that? What would happen to Sally? Hiro I just heard from Noah Bennet.
He needs us.
Now.
It is over.
The damsel has found her happy ending.
My herds journey has come to an end.
I have no more quests.
Really? Because Noah Bennet just found Samuel Sullivan.
The carnival is in New York.
Central Park.
Destiny calls Destiny calls.
Doyle, I don't want to hurt you.
Just let her go, please.
Since when do you ask politely? A lot of people are gonna die if we don't stop this.
Are you a shape-shifter? Is that Dudley Do-Right in there? You can't hold us here forever.
I don't plan on it.
Just long enough for Samuel to finish the show.
Isn't that right, Em? I don't think she heard me.
Are you okay? Sylar, please.
Listen to me.
- Please.
Samuel made me do it.
- Really? Because I thought you were the puppet master.
Come on.
What do you care about this girl, anyway? I am here to save her.
That's not you.
You're like me.
No.
I'm a hero.
You think you're here to save them, Claire, but they don't need saving.
They know what I've done for them.
Do they know that you gain your strength from them? You are the source of his power.
Without you, he is nothing.
That's why Joseph was keeping this family small for all those years, because he knew.
He knew how powerful Samuel could be.
That he would lose control, just like he did when he buried that town.
But you all walk away now, and he will be weak.
He will be ordinary.
He will be nothing.
I think we've all heard enough.
Am I right? He's using you, and that's what Joseph was trying to keep from happening.
But why don't you tell them what you did to stop him? - That's enough.
- He killed him.
He killed his own brother.
You think they're going to believe you over me? They'd be lost without me.
There's not one person here who thinks I'm capable of murdering my own brother.
There's one, actually.
Make that two.
Lydia told me everything.
Well, she's not here to confirm that now, is she? - Because he killed her.
- That's a lie.
Isn't it? Tell the truth, Samuel.
You had me kill Lydia.
I did no such thing.
You blamed it on me to justify what you're gonna do tonight.
What? You're gonna believe him after all I've done for you? I know I can't stay in this family after killing one of our own.
But he has to be stopped.
It's up to all of you.
Claire's right.
You walk away and he's powerless.
It's over, Samuel.
Come on.
Let's get out of here.
Wait, wait, wait.
Where're you going? Don't you see? You're victims.
All of you.
Like Joseph.
Run as fast as you can.
You'll never get far enough! Ladies and gentlemen! You want a show? - Yeah! - Yeah! Well, this is the greatest show on Earth! We're too close to him.
Go! We need to get as far away as possible.
You seem to have found my power.
It's funny how that works, huh? I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone now.
Peter, you of all people should know they have to fear us.
That's the only way they'll respect us.
All you've ever wanted is respect.
We both know what it's like to live in the shadow of a brother.
Joseph destroyed my potential, kept me down.
Just like your brother.
My brother didn't let me down.
He built me up.
Hiro.
You need to teleport everyone out of here.
All of you? We need to try.
Everyone.
There are so many.
They all have to be touching.
You heard him.
Everybody join hands.
There are too many.
I can supercharge you.
Supercharge? I'll stay, take care of Samuel.
One, two, three! So, how does it feel to be ordinary? Where'd they all go? They can't have all left.
They're here somewhere.
You can't leave me.
You cowards! Where are you? Come back here! You're nothing without me! L gotta say, I never liked carnivals.
Yup.
Are you okay? There was a man named Doyle.
He made me play.
Doyle? Your friend took care of him.
What do you think? I like it.
- Is everyone safe? - Yeah.
Hiro's taking care of them.
They'll be fine.
Who's taking Samuel? Is it a new company? Old one.
Lauren called in some favours.
What's she telling them? - There was a gas main rupture.
- Of course there was.
And all the other stuff, the ï¬ying, the rumbling, all just special effects put on by a very gifted showman.
You still can't see it, can you? - See what? - The future.
One where we all get to live out in the open.
Claire, you know how I feel about this.
How long can we keep this under wraps? Excuse me.
You were witnesses.
What happened? I have no comment.
Can you tell us what you saw here tonight? Come on.
You must have seen something.
What he said.
Miss, please.
You have to have seen something.
Are you sure, Miss? You look like you wanna say something.
Actually, I do have something to say.
Claire.
You're right.
People don't change.
You wanna know what really happened here tonight? Keep the cameras on me.
- Stay with her.
Don't lose her.
- Claire.
Claire.
You getting this? What is she doing? Breaking my heart.
You ready to go home? Yes.
Finally.
What is she doing? It's amazing, Peter.
- What is? - When I saved her, I didn't have a thought for myself.
I could have killed Doyle, but I didn't.
It felt good.
It felt right.
What the hell does she think she's doing? She's gonna change everything.
That's right.
It's a brave new world.
My name is Claire Bennet.
And this is attempt number I guess I've kind of lost count.
