My name is Hana Gitelman.
How the hell did you do that?
Satellite signals.
Wi-Fi.
Radio waves.
Your computer can
download them and so can I.
So you can access the Internet
without a computer,
just pull e-mail
out of your head?
And you're radioactive.
Why come to me?
Because they got to me, too.
I can find them, Ted,
and you can nuke them.
Previously on Heroes.
Turned on the waterworks,
and they were mine.
They're getting the suitcase
as we speak.
Where's the bag?
You may fool Ando,
but you do not fool me.
Matt Parkman,
here to protect you, sir.
Sir, we've got to get
out of here right now.
This is a setup.
What? How do you know that?
I just do.
Now, you absorb all
these abilities that you find.
Now, I'm gonna teach you how
to pull them out one at a time.
I don't have
to do anything!
Except fly.
Hello, Zane Taylor?
Yes, you must be Dr.
Suresh.
Come on in.
There are others out there,
like you.
And I am going
to find them.
I could go with you.
She had an appointment
with a neurologist.
Your mother's been having
some headaches.
Yeah, she's also been having some
memory loss.
Did you tell them that?
I don't know
any Mr.
Muggles,
and I don't know you.
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Where's Dad? He's on one of
his stupid business trips.
There's something
wrong with Mom.
There's something
wrong with you.
Mom?
Do you know who this is?
Claire, leave
your brother alone.
You recognize us?
Yes, you are the daughter who is
supposed to be setting the dinner table.
I was standing right there just a
minute ago and you had no idea who I was.
Lyle, help your sister with
the table.
Honestly, Claire.
Good thing Dad's not home,
'cause he would so drug test you.
It's good you called us,
Isaac.
I didn't know
who else to trust.
That man, Peter Petrelli,
he's gonna be
responsible for all this.
I tried finding him.
I kept painting
what I thought were empty spaces.
But, now?
There, in the water.
Footprints.
So,
Peter is invisible?
That sounds so crazy.
Any more than a man
who can paint the future?
Peter absorbs
others' abilities.
Apparently, he's met someone
who we assumed was dead.
That's the roof of the
The Deveaux building.
Look, there's a chance that Peter might
come here first before we reach him.
What do you expect me
to do with this?
Save the world.
Hey.
Hey.
You know what?
Let me do that.
I am pregnant not porcelain.
I know.
I'm just trying
to be Mr.
Helpful, here.
Try Mr.
Get the hell
out of the way.
What did you do?
Do you like it?
I love it.
I do.
Yeah?
Matt, we can't afford this.
I mean, we're
No, come on.
I got a guy.
He
gave it to me wholesale, so
I'm so bloated.
You look so beautiful to me.
I'm sorry.
You've made this beautiful
gesture and I have to mess it up.
What do you mean?
A man called yesterday.
A Professor Suresh.
He was a geneticist.
He wanted to talk about DNA.
About your DNA.
Did you tell him anything? I mean,
you didn't tell him anything, did you?
Of course I didn't
tell him anything.
But he found you.
He knows.
Geneticist.
Who are these people?
Before we go in,
I just wanted to say thanks.
For what?
Well, you know, for bringing me
with you.
You didn't have to do that.
It would have been a long road
alone.
I'm glad for the company.
Well, I believe in fate,
Mohinder, and karma.
And I'm not just saying that
'cause you're Indian.
I mean, you really came to my
rescue and I won't forget that.
Well, it's not completely
altruistic on my part, Zane.
I have a feeling we're going to meet up
with a lot of skepticism from these people.
You can help.
I'm ready.
Excuse me?
Excuse me?
Oh
Rap music.
Can't stand it, but it's the only
thing I've found that cancels out the
Can I help you?
We're looking
for Dale Smither.
You found her.
Oh.
Of course.
I'm Mohinder
Suresh and this is Mr.
Taylor.
Well, it's Zane, actually.
It's just Zane.
I left you
several messages this week.
Yeah, I got them
I believe I can help with
what's happening to you.
I'm sure you have
lots of questions.
Yeah, only one.
How'd you find me?
You gave blood 11 years ago, signed
a consent form to have a sample
used in a program called
the Human Genome Project.
You dialed the wrong number.
Look, I know what you're thinking right
now, that you've got nobody to talk to,
nobody that understands
what you're going through.
But that's not true.
I understand.
Yeah?
Damn.
That was my best wrench.
So, there
really are others, huh?
Yes.
I'm proof of that.
That's why we're here.
I thought the headaches
at first were gonna kill me.
I'd lie awake at night thinking
that my head was gonna explode.
A cockroach crawling across
my neighbor's floor was
like a marching band
parading through my house.
I'm sorry.
It must be quite a burden.
A burden?
Hell, no.
This is the best damn thing
that ever happened to me.
Well, now that I've learned
to control it,
I'm like Superman
or something.
I can hear rain coming
from 40 miles away.
I can even hear
someone's moods.
The tiniest changes
in a heartbeat.
Yours, for instance.
It's racing kind of fast.
You nervous about something?
No.
I'm just excited
to meet somebody like me.
Well, if you've come to try
to take it away from me,
you're gonna have a hell
of a fight on your hands.
I can assure you,
we only want to help.
I'd like to perform a few tests,
some questions, really, that's all.
Shouldn't take more
than a couple hours.
I'm kind of backed up today.
We can come back
in the morning.
Okay.
You're not Ando.
S.
R.
Gustafson,
State Gaming Commission.
I come in peace.
What's an Ando?
Ando is my friend.
I bring him from Japan
on my mission.
Where's the girl?
Where's the suitcase?
She say her name Hope.
Tell me where they are!
Take me with you.
I must save Ando.
Not a chance.
I work alone, pal.
You take me with you,
or she gets away, pal.
I so miss you, Karen.
I miss your laugh.
But they're gonna pay
for what they did to me.
What they did to us.
I know you're not gonna
like what I got to do.
So I came to say goodbye.
Enough!
I say when it's enough!
You've got the power to stop
me.
What are you waiting for?
I'm trying!
And when you've left New York
a smoking wasteland,
we'll put that
on your tombstone.
"Here lies Peter Petrelli.
He tried.
"
Dig into that file cabinet of
yours and pull something out.
Fly, stop time,
paint me a pretty picture.
Do something unexpected!
You pushed that away with your mind.
Which
one of your sorry friends has telekinesis?
None of them do.
Oh, wait, that guy who was
chasing Claire in Texas.
He sent some
lockers flying at me.
Texas? And you pulled that little
trick out in the here and now.
Well, we might just have a chance
at stopping you from going nuclear.
I tried.
Every street I
painted, every building empty.
I think Peter's
left New York.
Why does this seem so
familiar? Oh, now I remember.
You'd get that same look on your
face when you'd lie to me about using.
You think I'm Iying?
You're right.
I can't willingly
throw you into another man's arms.
Because you're jealous.
Because he's dangerous.
Oh, God.
I don't think I should
have this, anymore.
Keep it, please.
I would do anything for you,
Simone.
Anything.
Find Peter.
Look, you're nothing but
a Japanese MapQuest for me,
so, until we find that girl,
just sit there and shut up.
I bring Ando from Japan
on my mission.
I am responsible for him.
All a partner ever does is either
drag you under or screw you over.
A partner helps by believing
in you.
He keeps you honest.
Uh-huh? Well,
who wanted to help the girl?
Grab the suitcase?
Take your car?
Ando.
You take on a partner,
all you get is
their blood on your hands.
Why are we stopping here? I thought
we were going to your mother's house.
The less questions you ask, Ando,
the better off you'll be in life.
Why is that?
That'd be another question.
Here, I will help you with
your bag.
No, I've got it.
It's okay.
Let me help
you.
No, I've got it!
What is this?
What did I say
about asking questions?
Now, I have to admit, Zane, when you
first offered to help, I was cautious.
In what way?
I don't know you.
You don't know me.
It could have been a disaster.
But you made a difference
today.
Thank you.
Here's your key.
When you told that woman
Dale you could help her,
is that really possible?
It's only theoretical at this point,
but I am working on an inhibitor.
A chemical that will isolate the genetic
mutation that causes these abnormalities.
I mean, we can offer these
people understanding, control,
or, if needed,
elimination of their ability.
Elimination? You make it
sound like a virus or plague.
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to imply.
It's just
Well, not all of you exhibit
the same sets of skills you do.
I mean,
they could be dangerous.
My father had to
learn that firsthand.
How's that?
He was murdered
by a man named Sylar.
Well, what happened
to this Sylar?
I'm not sure.
He just got away
with killing your dad?
I only know he's gone,
locked away.
I mean,
what does it matter?
Even if I could come face to face with
him, what difference would it make?
Justice can never
really be served.
What a shame.
They're out there.
I can feel them.
So innocent, so unaware
of what's happening to them.
We'll find them, Mohinder,
all of them, together,
the two of us.
It's our destiny.
I'm gonna call it a night.
Yeah.
I'll catch you
in the morning.
Claire, do we need to talk?
No.
Yes.
Mom, you know how you
sometimes forget things?
Honey, is this about my trip to the
neurologist? It's just some headaches.
I don't want you to worry.
But they don't know
what's causing it, right?
We are still waiting on
the results from the tests.
What if it's not something that's
responsible for it, but someone?
What on Earth
are you talking about?
What if you knew a secret and
they had a way to brainwash you?
You have been
studying long enough.
Let's curl up in my bed,
piece of pie, glass of milk,
and watch an old
Cary Grant movie.
Mom, I'm serious.
I know this is
a little scary,
but Dad's in charge
of talking to the doctors
and they will come up
with the answers.
Maybe you shouldn't
trust Dad so much.
Now, why would you say that?
What if it gets worse
and the next time you
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Mom, please wake up.
What's this all about,
anyway?
What's what?
The birds.
I mean, you sort of
hate everything, everyone,
except you treat these
pigeons like they're family.
Charles Darwin bred pigeons when he
was working out his theory of evolution.
Married up various permutations
to get maximum potential.
What do you mean by that,
maximum potential?
I think he meant you, friend.
Well, you used to care,
about all this.
Didn't you?
All right, sharing time's
over.
Time to get
What are you doing?
Something unexpected.
Claire, this isn't
a great time.
Dad, you have to come home.
Mom fell and she blacked out.
I called 911.
What happened to her?
I came home and she didn't
even know who I was.
She didn't even
remember Mr.
Muggles.
I'm coming home right away.
Claude will have to wait.
Matt, where are you?
Hey, what's up?
The ring.
I took it to get resized, and the
jeweler told me it was worth $40,000.
Well, that's ridiculous.
Then he accused me
of stealing it.
I had to tell him my husband was a cop and
there has to be some kind of an explanation.
There is an explanation,
right?
The guy that I was
protecting, Malsky,
those were his.
You have to give them back.
I can't.
I can't.
He's dead.
I need to sit down.
See Honey, this is why I didn't
want to tell you about this, okay?
You were gonna get upset, and with
the You let me keep the ring!
It was stolen property.
What were you thinking?
I don't know what I was
thinking.
I have no idea.
You know, Matt,
for a guy that can
read other people's thoughts, you should
spend a little bit of time on your own.
You know what?
I'm just trying to figure out
how to take care of our family.
I don't have a job, Jan!
And I'm worried that
the baby You know
Ever since you told me about this
thing, this thing that you do,
I have tried to act like
everything's okay, but it's not.
Stealing and Iying?
Matt, you're better
than this.
All right.
Fine, I'll take
them down to the precinct.
Call them right now.
What?
Call them right now!
Hello?
What?
Where are you right now?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know the place.
I'll be right there.
Who was that?
I gotta go out.
Where?
Matt.
How are you feeling?
You knew they were after you.
Who? I don't
know who they were.
You wanted to know why I was
invisible all these years?
It was because of them,
and you've brought the
*** right to my door.
I just saved your ***!
You have no idea
what you've done.
Your mate, the painter, he
took your girl up to the roof.
He must have known
we were up there.
Isaac? He's a comic book artist.
Let's call a spade a shovel, mate.
It had to be Isaac.
They've got to him.
You said yourself he
disappeared for a bit, right?
Yeah, so?
Well, that's how it works.
At least,
that's how it did in my day.
You drop off the face of
the Earth for a few days,
wake up with a memory hole,
a killer headache,
and a souvenir.
Did he have a set of these?
No, what is that?
Those are for the lucky ones.
So, what do we do now? Hey!
We?
You watch your own back, I do
what I always do, disappear.
Hey, I'm not letting you run again.
We're getting somewhere with all this.
Well, you should have thought of that
before you brought your baggage to my roof.
Hey, I can't
do this on my own.
Then I guess you go boom.
Have you heard from Peter?
Last time I saw my brother, he flew
out of a window to get away from me.
I doubt he's going to come
knocking on my door.
He flew out a window?
So to speak.
Simone, I've got people looking
for him, people I can trust,
around the clock.
We'll find him.
But what if you don't?
You need to go public.
Call a press conference.
Tell
everyone about Peter's condition.
Nobody's gonna believe somebody can
explode and destroy a city, Simone.
I can't believe
I believe it.
Let's tell them everything.
Isaac painting the future,
Hiro stopping time, even you.
What you all can do
is incredible.
It's time people know
what's happening, the truth.
Simone, look, I know your
heart is in the right place.
You want to help Peter
and I want to help him, too.
But if people knew
what we were capable of,
they would drop
a collective brick.
You think they'll burn
you at the stake? Yeah.
Pretty much.
Because that's what I would
do.
I'd round us all up,
stick us in a lab on some island
in the middle of the ocean.
Where Peter saw hope,
you see disaster.
I guess I'm voting
for the other guy.
Simone.
Do not take this public.
But, you kissed me.
I thought you liked me.
Don't remind me.
What will happen to me, now?
Damn it!
Hope! I want my share.
Andokun!
Hiro!
Andokun!
Andokun!
Gustavson, you can't
stake it if you're dead!
Neither can you!
Come out!
Got you!
Get your hands in the air.
Come here!
Get off of me!
Funny, I didn't
hear your footsteps.
That's because
there weren't any.
That sound,
in your heart,
what is it?
***.
Is my mom gonna be okay?
She's stable.
When your dad gets here,
we can discuss options.
Options?
Claire, why don't you
come sit down?
Your mother has
a subdural hemorrhage.
I got a C minus
in biology.
Oh, it's
It's like a bruise
on her brain.
Specifically the area
that controls memory.
Has your mother had any recent
exposure to radiation?
A history of epilepsy?
Claire, if this is a result
of domestic violence
No.
No, it's not like that.
Not really.
Then what's it like?
You won't believe me.
Anything you say will be held
in the strictest confidence.
There's a man
who works for my dad.
He can make you
forget things.
Anything.
Just by touching you
with his hands.
I'll talk to your father.
Wait!
I'm telling you the truth!
Hey.
I only came here because you said
it was a matter of life and death.
You can't go blowing
anything else up.
I found out what these are.
They're tracking us
like animals.
What the hell's
that supposed to mean?
The truth.
Hey! What's going on? Ted?
She's a friend, okay?
Like us.
She's the one who put me
on to the scratches.
It comes from
a pneumatic needle.
It injects a radioisotope for
tracking viruses in Africa.
That's what we are to them.
A virus.
Plague.
Who's them?
A shipment of needles went to
Primatech Paper in Odessa, Texas.
The tracking slip went to a man
named Bennet.
Sound familiar?
I've already been down this
road.
Trust me, it's a dead end.
Really?
Yeah.
Why would a paper company need
pneumatic needles with a radioisotope?
I had my blood tested.
It's in me, that isotope.
Ted, you're radioactive
by nature.
How much you want to bet
it's in you, too?
No, that's insane.
No!
I want to put this whole
thing behind me.
My wife and I have
a baby coming.
My family needs me!
Wait, you've got a family,
that means you've got
something to protect.
There is no putting
this whole thing behind you.
We've got to find out what
they did and make them fix it.
If they can track us, like you say
they can, he'll know we're coming!
Good.
I can get us through any wall they
got.
I need you to get inside his head.
He can't lie to us
if you're there.
We'll find out the truth.
Look, I cannot
do this without you.
If we can save ourselves,
we could help others.
We could be heroes.
Dad.
It's all right.
I've convinced the doctor to let
us take her home in the morning.
She'll be okay.
No thanks to you.
Shut up, Claire.
Claire, could I
talk to you outside?
Please?
Doctor told me you had an interesting
theory about your mom's condition.
It's not a theory.
You did this to her.
You erased her mind.
Claire, that's ridiculous.
You tried to erase mine.
I don't know where
you're getting these ideas.
Stop.
Stop it!
Stop Iying! After what you
did to Mom, isn't that enough?
What you know
is dangerous.
If the wrong people find out
about what you can do
Like the man who
killed Jackie? Exactly.
Why?
Why did you do this to Mom?
A few days ago, that man broke
into our house, looking for you.
He found
your mother instead,
so I made her forget.
Your mother is
a gentle soul,
and people like her shouldn't
have to know about people like him.
And, maybe, people like you.
I never meant
for her to get sick.
I only wanted
to protect my family.
Claire Bear.
I promise,
I promise this will
never happen again.
No!
You don't just get to say you're
sorry and make everything go away.
Zane, are you all right?
Yeah, it's just
It's just a headache.
Okay.
Sit tight.
I'll be back.
Hello?
Anybody here?
Maybe we should
just come back, Mohinder.
Dale!
Mohinder,
what's the matter?
What are you doing?
I'm dialing 911.
Do you think
that's a good idea?
What are you talking about?
She was murdered.
And what were we doing here?
What do you mean?
We found her.
How?
Why? I mean, look at us.
Where did
we come from? How did we get here?
Can we explain any of this
without looking completely insane?
The top of her head was
removed.
It was Sylar.
I don't
I mean, how?
Sylar?
Okay.
Okay, we have to warn them,
everyone on the list.
He's after them.
We'II leave now and we'll call the
police anonymously from the road.
Come on.
Zane, are you okay?
Hiro.
Hiro!
Hey, young fellow.
All by yourself?
Yes.
Just me.
Lyle.
Claire,
we'll get through this.
Your mom needs us.
Lyle, too.
I don't even know if I'll
remember any of this tomorrow.
AII I wanna do is run away,
but I can't.
Somebody has to protect
this family from you.
Lyle, take your mother, get
out of the house, right now.
Dad?
I'm sure you have
a lot of questions.
We all do.
Why'd you do it, Isaac?
How'd you get in here?
What'd they give you?
Money? Drugs?
What's a Judas get these days?
I was trying to stop you.
You're dangerous,
you said it yourself.
Without them to help,
you'll become that.
I had help.
I was learning to control it.
You scared
my only chance of hope!
We can stop it.
What are these marks, huh?
What do they mean?
They're nothing.
They mean nothing.
Don't lie to me!
This is why you sent
them after me? Jealousy?
With me out of the way, you'd
have Simone all to yourself.
You stole her away from me!
But I did it to save New
York, to stop the bomb.
I can do it right now.
With just one bullet,
I can be a hero.
You're not a hero, Isaac.
You're a junkie.
You couldn't even
save yourself.
That's why she left you,
Isaac.
It had nothing
to do with me!
Show yourself!
Simone!
No.
No.
