We're out of whole wheat. Sorry.
Whatever. I'm starving.
Well, my mom's going to the market soon,
so hopefully she'll take Lyle.
You can come downstairs, stretch your legs a bit.
Well, that's a good thing. I'm starting to stink.
Look I've got the cash.
There's a train leaving for Albuquerque tonight.
Albuquerque?
I don't know anyone in Albuquerque.
Well, that's the point.
You could start over, become a new person...
Where no one could find you.
Yeah, but I never agreed to that.
My family's here, my friends. My life.
Do you want them to find you?
Make you disappear forever?
They're gonna find me anyways.
The government has those spy satellites.
They're probably watching us right now.
No. No, we're fine.
Yeah, but you don't know that.
You're not Harriet Tubman, Claire, all right?
And this isn't the underground railroad.
You're just a high school girl,
and you're in way over your head.
Well, if it wasn't for this high school girl,
you might already be dead.
So you want to survive, you're gonna have to do
exactly what I tell you-- got it?
Claire?
I need to speak with you. [dog growling]
[knocks on door]
Claire...
Hey, mom. What's up?
Our house money's gone.
You know, the money I keep in Mr. Muggle's rubber sneaker.
Any idea where that went?
Maybe Lyle took it.
I already grilled him.
Per usual, he has no clue.
Okay, fine, I took it.
I was was gonna pay you back.
Claire, I don't get it.
You have a nice allowance. [barking]
What do you need $300 for?
Are you in some kind of trouble?
No, I just...
[dog barking]
What is it, Muggles?
[barking]
What's under the bed, boy? What is it?
What is going on with you, Claire?
Nothing. Nothing, I swear.
[loud clatter]
I didn't hear anything.
Miss Bennet, right?
Hi.
Home sweet home.
Not anymore.
Got a one-bedroom in Dupont Circle.
You don't mind that we're keeping an eye on your daughter,
making sure she's behaving herself?
Claire's a big girl. She makes her own decisions.
If she does something wrong,
she can live with the consequences.
Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please.
Peter Petrelli has joined Matt Parkman as priority one.
Charged with kidnapping, assault,
and attempted murder of federal officers.
Both of these men are considered armed and dangerous,
and should be taken down by any means necessary.
Short of lethal force.
Actually, Senator, my men have been given the go ahead--
shoot to kill.
On whose authority, Danko?
Mine.
Back to work.
Do you really want to push my hand?
Your brother came into my house,
put a gun to my head.
I saved your life, if I remember.
You made this personal.
Now I do what I need to do.
Keep an eye on him for me, will you?
Matt and Peter kidnapped me and threatened my life.
What makes you think I won't shoot them myself?
Sir, we have a lead.
Manhattan.
Matt.
Uhh! - Matt!
Matt. - Uhh.
Matt, you need to stop.
Matt...
Matt, you need to stop!
Stop. Stop. What happened?
Look, you've been painting the same image
over and over again all night, okay.
I'm guessing you're trying to find some answers
how to stop this.
Oh, God.
Look, we need to leave, okay?
It's too dangerous here. We gotta go now.
No!
The only thing that matters right now is finding Daphne
and getting her back.
One life at a time.
Okay.
Look, Matt, when you were in Bennet's head,
could you see--could you tell where Daphne was?
Anything?
I don't know. I don't know.
I mean I didn't see much. I saw a hallway.
Okay. [machine beeps]
Did you turn that on?
No.
Who the hell is Rebel?
I have no idea.
Address... Daphne!
Someone's listening to our conversation.
No, no, no. He's just hacking in.
This could be information.
We need this information!
We don't know who this is.
How can we trust this person, huh?
What if this is a setup?
And what if he's telling the truth?
Go! Go, go, go!
They're gone.
We just missed 'em.
[snaps picture]
I think I know where they're headed.
Mom, this is Alex.
He's, uh...
He's my new boyfriend.
Okay, that doesn't explain why he's hiding in your closet.
Right.
Well...we're...
You're really gonna make me say it out loud?
Absolutely.
We're having sex. And I know it's wrong.
Very, very wrong.
You do understand that my daughter is only 17.
I haven't touched her. Okay?
I barely even make eye contact.
Claire...
The truth.
He's like me.
He has an ability.
You can tell her.
I can breathe underwater.
He has a power?
And you brought him here?!
Dad was after him. I didn't know what else to do.
Do you have any idea how dangerous this is?
Yes, I do, but what was I supposed to do, just let him--
And on top of that you lied to me!
I am so disappointed.
The agent still there?
Pretty sure you lost him when you skidded off
onto the dirt road.
But just to be sure...
yep, we're clear, officially, off the grid.
No communications within 50 Miles.
You sound disappointed.
Maybe I am.
I mean, the way I see it, agents catch up with us,
we just pwwsshhh--
charbroil 'em from the inside out.
I don't want to leave the trail of dead bodies
directly to my father's house.
Why are you doing this?
Parents suck.
You never get what you want from them.
When I was a kid, I just wanted my dad
to take me fishing.
He used my arm as an ashtray instead.
Seriously, look. I have the scars to prove it.
Oh--oh...
You should have worn a seat belt.
Dude, you're hurting me.
Why don't you want me to see my father?
I just-- I don't get it.
You don't need to get anything.
My father's the only one with answers.
You're the most powerful dude on the planet.
I mean, what could you possibly need?
We don't need anyone. - What?
Hey, what are you doing?
[tires screech]
What the hell?!
If you're hungry, there's a burger place up the road.
[wood creaking] Whoa!
Hey!
I'm sorry I lied to you.
I should have told you about Alex.
What you're doing is extremely dangerous, Claire.
Do you understand that?
They were gonna lock him up for no reason.
And they'll do the same thing to you.
This is not a game.
Mom, I have to do this.
I know that it's hard for you.
You want a normal life, a regular family.
But that's why Dad and I have to lie.
So we can protect you.
Why?!
Because I'm some fragile creature in need of protection?
No, that's not what I meant.
I know what you meant, and I've got news for you.
I'm strong.
Much stronger than either you or your father think.
And I know more than you think I know.
For example, I know that right now,
there's a van parked outside on the street.
They're watching us. They're watching you.
You think she's hiding the Woolsley kid?
Absolutely.
I'm telling you she's helping him.
Those pool cleaners have been parked out there
for four hours.
Nobody's pool is that dirty.
This is bad.
How you gonna save Alex, Claire?
You can't go out there.
You gonna keep him up in your closet forever?
No. No, I'll come up with something.
I have a plan.
I just haven't thought of it yet.
I have an idea.
You do?
Yeah.
And you can either keep me in the dark,
and lie to protect me,
or you can let me help.
I say we definitely let her help.
All right, Mom... what's the plan?
We're not gonna have a lot of time.
Get in there, you do your mind-control magic,
and then we get Daphne and we're out.
It's impossible. I mean, look at this building.
It's gotta be jam packed full of people.
There are only so many minds I can control
at any given time.
You're right. You're right.
What are you doing? What is that?
I just borrowed your power.
Great!
That way we can watch each other's backs.
And you can't fly now.
Which basically rules out our rooftop escape plan.
See, we gotta get into the building first.
And two guys pushing thoughts is better than one.
Come on.
Top floor.
I love doing that.
Right? Makes it a lot easier.
They got cameras everywhere. Let's go.
In here. Come on.
Hey, you're not allowed in here.
You're gonna finish your lunch in the hall
and make sure no one comes in.
I'll just finish my lunch in the hall.
The plan was to find Daphne.
Gotta know where to look, huh?
Sir, take a look at this.
Okay, this is a problem.
How the hell did they get in here?
Targets are in Operations.
Shut down the computer systems, everything.
Can't. Someone's hacking in.
Damn it, just shut it down! Let's go!
Wait. Hell with that.
I wouldn't go out there if I were you.
You're not me.
Son of a bitch.
What?
How'd you do on your history exam?
C-minus.
Right. You're grounded.
Drivers license, please. Now.
Thank you.
That was harsh.
He's a terrible driver anyway.
[sighs]
To disappear, you need a new identity.
Trick is to remove the photo
without tearing it.
[blows] There.
[chuckles] I cannot believe you know how to make a fake I.D.
Where did you learn that?
Dad? - No.
Claire, believe it or not, I was a teenager once.
And an enterprising one, not unlike you, young lady.
Oh, there was this band once I just had to see.
Def Leopard. Oh, my God, Rick Savage.
Bass player. So cute!
Oh, what I would have given to--
Mom! - Sorry.
Alex, you need to change your looks.
probably using facial recognition algorithms.
That I learned from your father.
You can find a change of clothes upstairs.
I appreciate everything that you're doing.
Wow. [chuckles]
You know I didn't mean to drag you into all of this.
You were gonna do it one way or another, Claire.
Just thought I might help.
I'm sorry for being the way I am.
Making everything so much harder.
Sometimes I just wish I was normal.
Why on earth would you want that?
It would just make everything easier.
Maybe you and Dad would still be together.
Honey, your father and I had issues
long before you came around.
Why'd you marry him?
'Cause I fell in love with him, warts and all.
He was dangerous, handsome.
I accepted everything that went with that.
But now...
I'm tired of being lied to.
I can't see my marriage anymore.
So it's...over.
You guys are gonna get a divorce.
I don't know.
Maybe.
But whatever happens between your father and I
has nothing to do with you.
Okay?
[whispering] So what are we looking for?
Something happened here.
[coughing]
Yeah, like a million years ago.
I've been here before.
How do you know?
I remember.
My father was here too.
[Fleetwood Mac's The Chain]
# listen to the wind blow #
# watch the sun rise #
# #
# run in the shadows #
# damn your love, damn your lies #
# #
# and if you don't love me now #
# you will never love me again #
# I can still hear you saying #
# you would never break the chain #
# and if you don't love me now #

Hello?
Where did you just go?
I can remember my father.
Are you sure?
Positive.
Sorry. - It's okay.
I still don't know why you're doing all this for me.
Well, we're an endangered species.
I'm just...doing my best to try to save us.
Hell, I didn't even know there were others like me.
I remember that feeling.
So...how do I look?
Like an exceptionally cute boy
who can breathe underwater.
You're special, Claire.
And not just because of the whole
immortal healing thing.
I don't know.
Maybe if things were different,
we could have gone out or something.
We could have been hiding in your bedroom
for entirely different reasons.
[both chuckle]
Uh, even if things were different,
I'm not really into the whole relationship thing right now.
Hmm.
It just seems like everyone who gets married
gets a divorce.
Okay, I think it's more like half of all marriages
get a divorce or something.
Yeah, but who knows how happy that other half is.
I don't know.
I still think it's worth it.
Why?
For moments like this.
When someone gets you
the way that no one else does.
It's definitely worth it.
Those agents are coming toward the house.
Alex, come with me. Come with me!
Go.
Come on, in here.
That's the first place they're gonna look.
No, you have to whack it.
Watch.
Now get down here and push it with your foot.
Your dad used to store guns, files,
god knows what else in there.
He doesn't think I know about it--careful.
That's right, now close it. Close it behind you.
Okay.
Just another day in the Bennet house.
Let's go. Let's go! That is so weird.
You're not supposed to be here.
I'm off limits.
Top floor is clear.
I told you, you're wasting your time.
Oh, come on, Claire, we both know what's going on.
Hot guy, just your type.
Where is he?
He's here. I know it.
Well, that would be wrong, wouldn't it?
If you two are finished here,
I need you to get the hell out of my house.
Wow, that was close.
I cannot believe the way you stood up to that bitch.
Let's not celebrate yet.
They're not gonna give up so easily.
The train's leaving soon.
We need to find a way to get you to the station.
You have both done enough.
Maybe I can slip out back. Make a run for it.
No, they'll catch you.
Maybe not.
We're gonna give him a head start.
[computer beeping rapidly]
I think I got something.
Daphne? Millbrook, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's not here anymore, Matt.
transferred to a medical facility.
Damn it. Of course.
wait, hold on a second. Look.
Your friend is back. Rebel?
Tell him he screwed us. Daphne's gone.
He's opening up a file. I think there's something
he wants us to see. - What is it?
Come here. - That's us. Huh.
That's us-- that's the entire operation.
They got the whole thing on tape.
What are you doing? - Copying the files.
What for? - To expose them.
Look, American citizens rounded up like this.
No warrants, no trials.
This is gonna look great on the evening news.
Nathan's not gonna know what hit him.
We'll use this as leverage.
Daphne's not here, Matt.
There's no guarantee
that we're gonna find her, but if we have this--
we can make a deal.
Everything we've got in exchange for Daphne.
One life at a time.
Parkman's a telepath.
Incredibly powerful.
But when he uses his ability,
his senses become raw nerves,
and he becomes susceptible.
We exploit that... we can disrupt his thoughts.
That just might work. Let's do it.
[alarm sounding]
Unh! Peter, I can't focus. We gotta get outta here.
I need more time! [computer beeping]
It's done! I got it!
Matt! - What?
30 seconds for what?
[alarm stops] It's off. Come on, let's go! Go!
Whoa, whoa, wait.
You do not want to shoot us.
Hey, wait. Down. Down. Good, good, good.
Don't do it!
This is only gonna end badly.
Don't do this.
I'll hold 'em, you go. - No, what about you?
There's no time. Go. Go. I'll hold 'em.
Bennet, you know me.
[alarm blaring]
Nice and easy.
Something terrible happened here.
What are you talking about?
It's a toy car. What's the big deal?
No...
My father did something to me.
Something I forgot.
Well, that's a good thing, right?
Not remembering all the crap
that happens to you when you're a kid.
No.
It eats away at your soul.

[mouthing "mommy"]
Mommy.
So you didn't find Peter?
You're not helping him, are you?
Don't be ridiculous.
Someone's out there calling themself "Rebel."
Knows we're building 26s.
How it runs.
So I see.
You have all that information too.
Tell me this isn't you.
Of course not.
First of all, I don't know the first thing about computers.
Yeah, but you could hire someone for that, Mom.
And beyond that, I know who's keeping me safe, Nathan.
I can live my life in peace, thanks to your generosity.
I would never betray you.
Look, Peter... he stole a dangerous file.
And there are people that want him dead
because of that.
You're in charge. You can protect him.
I'm doing everything I can to contain and control
these people with abilities,
but there are other people
that want to see them all dead.
Yes, dear.
I've had a bit of experience with all this.
[cell phone rings]
Hello?
It's me.
Pete, where are you? - Is he okay?
I'm only gonna say this once. You know what I took.
I've got evidence against you and your entire organization.
What you've been doing to us.
What do you want?
A trade.
Matt Parkman and Daphne Millbrook
for everything that I've got.
That's it?
Two people? I don't understand.
Look, if anything happens to them or me,
all the information I've got goes directly
to the nightly news-- do you want that?
So do we have a deal?
Fine. Where do you want to meet?
Hey.
[tires screech]
My son and I are going to a movie.
Does that threaten the Federal Government?
[dog barking]
Unh!
Uhh! - You okay?
Yeah. Fine.
You can get off of me now.
Oh, God.
[both grunting and panting]
[dog barking]
We gotta go. That way.
End of the block. Think I see 'em.
We all set? - Town car's ready.
Ten minutes to the exchange.
Your boys know where they're headed, right?
It's exactly where your brother wants.
4001 North Nebraska Avenue. - Next to the network news.
I don't suppose that's a coincidence.
Peter's no dummy.
Daphne and Matt ready for transport?
No, Senator, they're not.
We're not making a deal.
What's he talking about?
What the hell are you talking about?
I have another plan.
You realize if my brother's harmed in any way,
copies of those files are gonna make their way
to every news organization in this country.
Our entire operation will be compromised.
I'm aware of the situation.
Then get Millbrook and Parkman released right now,
put them in the car,
and get them down to the parking lot.
Or do you want to disobey a direct order?
I'm following orders, Senator, just not yours.
The United States Government will not make deals
with terrorists.
Those were the President's exact words.
Despite your endless protestations,
your brother's a terrorist.
Terrorist? My brother's not a terrorist.
Target spotted approaching parking lot.
I'm en route. Hold your stations.
Just stay out of my way. Let's go.
Noah, just remember, Peter can hear your thoughts.
Where are they, Bennet?
Peter...
Matt, Daphne.
Listen to me. are you in there?
Come with me. Matt?
And nobody has to get hurt.
Peter...listen to me!
They're not here. You're being set up.
Time to die, Petrelli.
Just a little further. Gimme the kill shot.
I'm trying to save your life.
Get out of here, he's gonna--
Are you all right?
It's just a scratch. He'll be fine.
What do you want, a thank you?
Why...are you doing this, Nathan?
Doing what, saving your life or trying to save the world?
Perhaps there's a better way of doing it.
Ma-- - This hasn't turned out
exactly the way I wanted it to.
Okay? - I'm aware of that.
There's a lot of different agendas going on.
Yeah, all leading to killing us.
You realize you're responsible for that.
Yeah, I do.
It's out of control, and it's my fault.
But I can fix it.
In fact, I'm the only one who can fix it.
Why is that? - Because you're one of us?!
Because I'm the only one who really cares
if you're alive or not, Pete.
Come with me, okay,
and I promise you'll be treated well.
Don't do this, Nathan. - It's okay.
Ma, please.
You have my word.
I know you'll take care of me. - I will.
Because you love me.
Pete, I'm just trying to help.
Yeah.
Bye, Nathan.
Pete!
No, Nathan, don't.
You give me one good reason
why I shouldn't go after him right now.
Because the game has changed.
I've seen it, and you need to be ready.
And we have some breaking news for you now.
Rumors have surfaced that the U.S. Government
has recently broadened the reach of the Patriot Act.
Thanks, Brian.
Well, tonight sources have provided our news bureau
some startling footage taken directly
from an unnamed government agency
right here in Washington.
Now, this video shows American citizens
in hoods and restraints
in what appears to be a clear violation
of their constitutional rights.
Is the government running a secret military organization
with the authority to disregard civil liberty?
So what, we're just gonna stay here all day?
Look, the guy's an ass, plain and simple.
All right, I told you parents su--
He killed my mother.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
I mean, I've been trying to tell you that he's a jerk.
You've been trying to tell me, really?
When did that happen?
'Cause all I can remember is the cute little stories
of you two bird watching around the neighborhood.
You made him sound like Mr. freakin' Rogers.
I was just waiting for the right time.
Unh!
[breathing unsteadily]
Hey, I got an idea.
Why don't we drive up to Canada,
because we're close to the border.
We could rob some old ladies. - That's not gonna happen.
Why are you doing this to me?
Because you're here,
and I need to express my feelings.
You used me for some joy ride, an escape.
I got news for you, kid. There is no escape.
There is only pain.
And you can never outrun it no matter what you do,
no matter where you go.
Go home to your mother, Luke.
You're not gonna kill me?
Seems a little on the nose.
Where you going?
To find my father.
'Cause now that I've seen the truth...
I want him to die.
What the hell are you doing?
Must've realized there'd be consequences
for your actions.
Yeah, when that story breaks, you're exposed.
and the world will see what you're doing.
You're hunting innocent people.
You're not innocent.
The world just doesn't realize how dangerous you are.
Now they will, and they'll beg me
to hunt you down and kill you.
The enemy has a face, Parkman. It's you.
No, I don't want to hurt anyone.
Really?
To me...you look exactly like a terrorist.
[Parkman groans]
Why did you...
You gonna miss having a cute guy in your closet?
A little.
You were incredible.
Nice to know I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.
I love you.
Just the way you are.
I wouldn't trade this life for anything.
Me either.
So I made popcorn.
Figure we could watch a movie. Some sappy love story.
Ah, sounds perfect. [microwave time dings]
I'll be right down.
Hey, Barbie.
You!
I got a message from someone named Rebel.
I need your help, Barbie.
