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 ten years old.
I can't do this. I'm sorry.
I gotta get outta 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--
Powerless?
We can't take what we want anymore.
Says who?
Claire.
Oh, my god.
Arthur is alive?
You're one of the only people
In the world that 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. D-5-w.
It hurts!
What's your name, sweetheart?
Claire.
Where's my dad?
He's on his way. How long ago were you shot?
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 it to the police.
Is she gonna 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 reinvent ourselves.
Free of powers or perils.
Scary.
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.
Hello
My name is Mathan
I am your friend
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 senator?
No!
What are you doing with her?
She's a restavec. She will be sold.
You mean prostitute.
It's not her choice
To decide whether she's happy or sad.
Whether she lives or dies.
I'm not gonna let you do this!
You?
You are just a man.
And I am the 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.
Uh, gravity, electron density.
I mean, maybe it really is just a coincidence.
Yeah, you keep talking, doc,
But 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.
Ow. Stop!
I'm counting on your help, doctor.
Sandra, what is it?
Where are you?
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.
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.
You know she is scared.
I don't know what to tell her
And I don't know what to do.
Okay, just...Stay calm.
There 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.
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 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?
Matt was just leaving.
This 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!
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 gonna 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.
Let's open up some back issue and find out what's going on
This is not a library.
You want if you buy it
Then we buy it!
This one too,please
Best.Day.Ever.
It's okay.
May I help you?
No, we're fine. Here.
He's gonna 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 gonna be here any minute.
We have to split up or else he's gonna 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?
Let him follow and set a trap.
Numbers are our biggest advantage.
Okay, we do this together.
Come on.
You're very pretty
You want to make me happy? Right?
Go, go, go, go, go.
My sister...
We will save her
Run and do not look back
You made me bleed
I'm going to do more than that
Are you going to kill me,brother?
It is the only way to stop me
And then I fought a dinasour,but it really wasn't a dinasour...
And then I...
I know.I was there.
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.
Uh, guys.
You might actually be on to something.
Look at this.
This is 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.
Great news.You're going to get your powers back.
Hen we'll figure out how to get your brain back
No.I don't want to grow up
Not now!Not ever!
I know you can't understand a word I'm saying,
But there's something, um,
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.
Ready to go home?
They found him. They found him.
We don't have much time.
We need to make a run for it.
No, no, it'll never work.
Look, you-- I'll hold 'em off.
You guys escape. Go.
Give me that.
No, pete--
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.
My mouth is dry.
It's the antibiotics.
You're fighting off an infection.
It hurts.
Here, take this.
Here.
If the pain's 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.
It hurts so much.
Claire?
Claire!
Help!
Help! Help!
We need help now!
She's coding. Get me a crash cart.
Bring another liter.
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?
Good-bye, 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. Charge.
Clear!
No.
Poor gabriel.
You always wanted to be special.
Look at you now.
No.
You're nobody.
Mom.
We gotta get you outta here.
Daphne?
Mr. Millbrook?
What happened?
She's gone.
Gone where?
I don't know.
No note. No good-bye.
Just gone...Again.
Uh, 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.
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.
So stupid.
Now everything's screwed up.
Matt's dad is dead. I brought them all together.
I'm as bad as they are.
Horrible person.
You got your ability back.
Well, 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 corn is my dad's livelihood.
And one fall, the birds were feasting on it.
We were losing the crop.
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.
You defeated my men
But,they are just men...
And I'm a God
You should've stopped me when you had the chance
Now...
They will all suffer!
You're not going to hurt anyone else
This isn't your fight.
You made it my fight.
Use your ability.
Turn his off. I have a shot!
This is my responsibility.
Don't do this
You still love me
I'm still your brother
That has no power over me
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!
You must grow up
You guys didn't grow up
He says you guys didn't grow up.
You read comic books and eat junk food
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.
Look what happens when I try
He says, "look what happens when I try."
My father dead
"my father's dead."
Why bother being a hero
"why bother being a hero?"
Because you give people hope.
Anybody.
Even 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, uh, thought you didn't believe in any of this.
I don't.
Thank you.
This is really weird.
Did you find something?
Issue one of 9th wonders.
Yeah, this is the issue where, uh, 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.
What's he saying
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 he is now.
I think hiro has to take claire here
To get his memory back.
You have to take Claire here to get your memory back
How do I find claire
How does he find claire?
I must go there
Right now
Wait!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.
On 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! Ahh!
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.
And you can't undo that.
Not ever.
You really think you two
Could have a normal life?
He killed your father, elle.
No!
Bad man
What the hell?
Save the cheerleader...
Hey.
We got our abilities back.
Where's hiro?
He's gone. Gone where?
No one knows.
Okay, uh,
Let's look in one of your comic books.
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 sketch book
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? Yeah.
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 about--
Just...
Thank you.
It means a lot.
I'm going to pinehurst.
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 powers
Nearly did to this country.
Yeah, but we stopped him.
We didn't do anything.
He did because he still had power.
And 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?
Pinehurst 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
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.
And 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."
"once again, not a request."
"don't get too close."
Holy sh--
