Come on, Claire.
It's me.
Put down the gun.
I can't...
- Then it's here. - No, no. Wait, wait.
I'm going back...
To the day they all found out.
It's too late.
It isn't.
Think about it, Claire.
It wouldn't be like this if they never known about us.
Huh?
No games.
No experiments.
No hiding underground hunted like this.
All these powers.
It can destroy everything.
I made peace with that a long time ago. You never did.
What happen to you, Claire?
How did you get to this place?
I'm different, remember?
Special.
I can fix.
All of this. Everything, please.
I'm sorry, Peter.
I always loved you.
My name's Nathan Petrelli...
And I was elected to Congress in the State of New York.
Seems like... a long time ago.
Last year... Something incredible happened to me.
And it changed my life.
First, I was afraid.
But I'm not afraid anymore. I'm here to tell you the truth.
I have the ability...
Get an ambulance in here now!
Stay with him. Stay with him.
Don't leave him.
Where is he?
I lost him.
Did you get a look at him?
No.
Police currently have no lead as to the cause of the shooting.
And an investigation is underway to locate the gunman.
The building has been sealed off,
and authorities are interviewing everyone present.
The status of his condition at this time, is unknown.
Mr. Petrelli was in the middle of a public statement,
when he was hit with two bullets to the chest.
Nathan Petrelli graduated from Minneapolis...
- Hello? - Peter, it's me.
- Claire? - Is he?
Oh, it's bad.
We are gonna get him to the hospital.
I should be there. I could help.
- No. He needs to get into surgery... - But my blood...
Claire, you are in California.
He needs to be in the hospital right now.
Just... I'll call you as soon as I know anything.
Police currently have no lead as to the cause of the shooting and an...
He was down for four minutes.
Hang two units of blood, charge the paddles.
This is a restricted area.
I'm his brother.
I'm sorry.
Is he gonna make it?
Let's go!
Paddles ready. Here you go.
Clear!
Nothing.
No response?
360.
Clear!
Dr. Slade, 331.
I'm sorry.
It shouldn't ended this way.
Season 3 Episode 01: The Second Coming.
Police currently have no lead as to the cause of the shooting.
And an investigation is underway to locate the gunman.
The building has been sealed off,
and authorities are interviewing everyone present.
Hello, Claire.
I bet you been wondering where I've been since you saw me last, huh?
Let's just say I took a little...
Detour from my career path.
Spent a little time south of the border but...
it's all behind me now, like a long night after a bad taco.
No.
I saw Hiro Nakamura kill you. I was there.
And yet here I am, fully recovered.
Well, not fully.
That's actually why I've come.
What do you want from me?
Same thing I did last time I came for you.
I want what you have, Claire.
I want your power.
- Oh, my god! - It's me, Maya!
Oh, my god, I'm so sorry.
I thought it was Sylar coming back.
I saw the doorknob moving.
It's this damn key.
It's bent.
How did it go with Molly?
Harder than I had wished for.
Flight attendants said they'd look after her until she landed, but...
I just hope I did the right thing.
She'll be safe now.
No one's gonna find her there.
And now we can finally start my examination.
Yeah, about that...
I know I promised you, Maya,
but I really am in no position to help you.
What do you mean?
I mean I've hit a dead end with my research.
There's nothing left for me to do here.
I'm packing up my things and I'm going home to India.
I don't understand.
After all this time, I've found nothing
that leads me to believe I can take these powers away.
But I came all the way from South America
To find you... For a cure.
And I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
But you haven't even tried.
It's not fair.
You can't do this to me.
You have to try.
Maya.
I'm sorry.
I should go now.
No, wait.
Tell me what just happened.
When you got upset, angry-- your ability manifested.
Is it always that way?
Yes.
When I'm scared or mad, it just happens.
And to make it stop?
I just... Calm down somehow.
Like some kind of sympathetic nervous system response.
There's a mind-body connection.
The neural pathways that control...
What are you talking about?
Fight or flight.
The adrenal glands,
They control our stress levels.
My father had it all wrong.
For years he'd been working on a formula,
trying to isolate the gene for these abilities.
It's all here.
All this time I've been trying to make sense of it,
But he was looking in the wrong place.
These abilities don't originate in the blood.
They're produced from adrenaline.
All I have to do is make you mad again.
How are you doing this?
Are you a speedster too?
Speedster?
No, I'm Hiro Nakamura.
I stop time.
I got news.
You don't stop it completely,
Or we're not having this conversation.
So you move fast?
Not fast.
I move really fast.
Well, you stole something from me.
You mean this? Get--
This whole time-stopping thing, how does it work exactly?
I mean, if you chase me to Bangkok,
Will time stay frozen here in Tokyo?
I don't know.
Well...
Something to think about when you get back on your feet.
But I am on my feet.
Gotta go.
Peter.
You lookin' for this?
Hey, yeah, I was just...
Just, uh...
What?
It's pretty incredible, huh?
Nathan's recovery?
Said the bullets...
Went straight through him.
Barely any damage, like his body had already healed inside.
How'd you know where to find the gun, Peter?
I just...
Figured there weren't many places for him to stash it.
And what makes you think he stashed it?
You had to go and be the detective,
Didn't you, Matt?
How did-- how did you--
I came from the future.
To stop Nathan from tellin' the world about us.
I had to.
It's where it all begins.
The future?
Now that you know, you can't be here.
Petrelli's miraculous recovery has this hospital staff completely baffled.
His condition has been upgraded to stable,
And he is resting comfortably.
The shocking footage that has been played
Over and over on news outlets and youtube
Has created a--
That's him.
I was dead, and he gave me another chance.
But now I know...
The reason I'm here.
To do great things.
To do his bidding.
Mr. Petrelli,
Earlier today, you were about to make a statement.
You had a message to deliver.
Are you ready to do that now?
God is the only one with a message.
It's a message of hope and urgency
Because he's not gonna wait much longer.
His message is a simple one.
We're all connected.
Our hopes and our dreams,
Our children's future reflecting back in each other's eyes.
We fight our own personal battles.
But we know we're not alone.
Because only together can we make our short time
On this planet mean something.
Only together can we be the stewards of our own destiny.
And we hold in our... Collective hearts
One noble goal.
To save ourselves...
Save the world.
I've separated the tyrosine
and combined that with the dopamines produced by your adrenals.
And what now?
We wait a few seconds and see if the enzymes
attach to the cortisol.
You're very brave to have found me the way you did.
There was no other choice.
I imagine...
That it must be very unsettling to have these abilities.
But I have also imagined, many times,
The exhilaration one must feel to know such power.
To feel so special.
It worked.
What have you done?
What my father never could.
I've isolated the genetic building blocks of these abilities.
I've found its source.
I have to get to the loft, to my lab.
There's a centrifuge there.
I have to verify and duplicate these results.
This is incredible.
I don't understand.
What have you found?
The contents of this single syringe could give powers to anyone.
Give powers?
And with the added component of adrenaline,
the effects would be instantaneous.
I know you're scared. I would be too...
All alone in this house with someone like me.
A man you barely know.
It isn't exactly a fair fight, I admit.
But I don't want to fight you, Claire.
I just want what you have.
You see, I lost everything that made me special.
Lost...
But now found.
There's a whole shopping list of abilities right here.
But I'm going to start with the best.
And once I have yours--
No!
What are you doing to me?
I'm looking for answers before I bleed to death.
Funny...
I'm looking for answers too.
Why don't I feel anything?
No nerve endings.
An amazing bit of machinery, this...
And how much of it do we actually use?
10%, maybe 20%.
Imagine the answers we'd have with 100%.
Why is there evil?
How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
How do we make love stay?
All these answers, they're all...
They're all right here.
Are you going to eat it?
Eat your brain?
Claire, that's disgusting.
There it is.
Wait.
What about me? Aren't you going to kill me?
Poor girl...
There's so much about yourself you don't even understand.
Your brain is not like the others, Claire.
You are not like the others.
You're different.
You're special.
And I couldn't kill you, even if I wanted to.
You can never die.
And now, I guess, neither can I.
I ran two samples in the centrifuge.
The enzymes held both times.
You need to destroy that, Dr. Suresh.
What?
What are you talking about?
It's like you said.
It's against the laws of nature.
No, Maya.
This is a discovery of world-changing proportions.
The possibilities for the advancement of science
For our entire species...
- Ordinary people-- - Will have my ability.
No, no.
Each individual's blood chemistry is unique,
Like fingerprints.
These abilities could manifest in an infinite number of ways.
But they can still end up terrible...
Like mine.
Or they could be wonderful.
Flight, telepathy, super-strength...
Of course it would have to be perfected.
There'll be research and development,
Clinical trials...
But in the wrong hands--
It's in the wrong hands now, Maya.
An entire clandestine company dedicated
To hiding it from the rest of the world.
Yes... Because of people like me.
People like Sylar.
Exactly.
Sylar killed my father.
If I had had a legitimate chance to inject myself with this,
to give myself the power,
then perhaps I could've stopped that.
That's my point.
You would actually inject yourself with that?
There are quantum leaps in science that one dreams of being a part of.
This is one of them.
I don't see why you don't understand that.
I don't see why anyone would want these abilities.
It's a curse!
Can what's in that syringe cure me or not?
Then it's evil.
And you should destroy it...
For the sake of all of us.
Am I still here?
Yeah.
Touched by god.
That's what you said in the chapel.
I thought I dreamed that.
It's true, Pete.
He saved me.
He came for me.
He brought me back.
We've seen what people like us can do.
Nathan...
Things no one in the world can.
I came back from the dead.
You had third-degree burns over half your body.
And who's to say this isn't the hand of god?
All of us with these powers...
Did you ever stop and think about it, Pete?
We can be angels.
All here to do god's bidding.
What happened to telling the world about us?
Well, we couldn't be angels
If everyone knew, now could we?
I don't expect you to understand
What I did to you,
But I hope someday you'll forgive me.
Life is funny...
Isn't it Nathan?
Linderman...
You're the one who healed me.
"There's a divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough-hew them how we will."
It seems you and I are meant for great things, Nathan.
Great things, indeed.
The extraordinary claim of divine intervention
Has captured the imagination of the entire country.
And nowhere is it being greeted
With greater interest than by the leaders
Of the religious community.
In short, the elected congressman
From new york has become a cause celebre.
The poster child for political redemption.
Tracy, baby.
I think we've found our guy.
Isn't that my job, governor?
It's a message of hope and urgency...
'cause he's not going to wait much longer now.
What's his name?
Petrelli.
Nathan Petrelli.
Our hopes, our dreams, our children's futures
Reflecting back in each other's eyes.
I like him.
No!
Is there anybody here?!
What have you done with Peter?
Who do you think you inherited your first ability from?
Your dreams... I dreamed you'd come.
I saw what you'd do.
Shooting your own brother, for god's sake.
I had to.
It was Nathan who set everything in motion.
The powers, the greed, the war.
Who are you to play god?
You can see the future?
Then you know that that formula
That you and your friends tried to bury...
It gets out, and it destroys everything.
The only future I've ever seen is the one caused by you.
But Nathan didn't die.
And now he doesn't have to.
It doesn't matter.
Because by shooting him, you screwed up everything.
Something different happens now.
And it's all because of you.
So why don't you go back to where you came from?
You understand?
Now...
What did you do with my son?
Don't worry.
I put him some place safe.
This is a mistake!
I'm not supposed to be here!
I'm not who you think I am.
I'm Peter Petrelli!
You've gotta help me!
I'm Peter Petrelli!
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre...
the falcon cannot hear the falconer.
things fall apart,
the center cannot hold.
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world."
I'm Peter Petrelli!
Please get me out of here!
"The blood-dimmed tide is loosed,
and everywhere,
the ceremony of innocence is drowned.
the best lack all conviction,
while the worst
are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand.
Surely the second coming is at hand.
The second coming...
Hardly are those words out
when a vast image out of spiritus mundi
troubles my sight.
Somewhere in sands of the desert,
a shape with lion body and the head of a man,
a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
is moving its slow thighs,
while all about it reel shadows
of the indignant desert birds.
the darkness drops again.
But now I know
that twenty centuries of stony sleep
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle.
and what rough beast,
its hour come round at last,
slouches towards bethlehem
to be born?"
Dude's got some money here somewhere.
Give me your money.
I said, give me your money!
Man, waste him.
Aw, man, you all right?
Get up, man, come on!
