Previously on Heroes...
You're no longer Sylar, no longer Gabriel Gray.
We had no other choice. Matt Parkman had to turn Sylar into Nathan,
I can barely look him in the eye knowing who's under that skin.
So, where are you from?
Texas, originally.
Murder-at-Union-Wells-in-Odessa Claire Bennet.
What if I could make it so that Danko wasn't interested in you any more?
Who the hell are you?
You wanted to see me, Samuel?
I need you to go to him, get the compass back
and kill the son of a bitch. It's what Joseph would have wanted.
Fourteen years ago.
The night of the slushy incident.
That's the moment she started hating me.
You can go back.
Maybe you can undo what happened to you.
I think we've found someone who can help us fix the past.
I need you to send me back.
You and Bennet strong-armed me into playing God.
I've started seeing things, and I've stopped.
Cold Turkey. I'm out.
I want my body back.
You put him down. Please.
Oh, poor Daddy. He looks pretty scared, huh?
Can you say "freaking out"?
I don't... I don't understand. How are you even here?
I'm part of you, Matt.
Whatever you did to me, I held on. Now I'm inside your head.
So, you're not real.
Then how could I be holding your little boy?
Just put him down.
Not until you give me what I want.
You did something to me, to my mind. That's why I'm here.
Tell me what you did. Where did you put my body?
Okay. Just put him down and then we'll talk about this.
- Tell me. - Matt?
Here comes Mommy.
- Catch. - No...
- Matt, are you okay? - Yeah.
Thought I heard him crying, that's all.
Matty's fast asleep.
What's going on with you?
I'm just tired, I guess.
Come back to bed.
Hello?
I must've dialled the wrong number.
Who are you looking for?
Sandra Bennet.
Yeah, she's here. Hang on. Sandra.
Hello? Hello?
- Sandra? - No. No, this is Tracy.
I didn't do it.
Oh, no!
I must have time travelled. I need to go back!
Excuse me, sir. Can you take our picture?
Sure.
- Thanks! - You're welcome.
Do I know you? You look familiar.
Guess I just have one of those faces.
Did your roommate express any suicidal thoughts, feelings of being overwhelmed?
- Low self-esteem? - No.
No. If anything, she had too much self-esteem.
She was an overachiever. She loved herself.
That's not the impression she left in her suicide note.
- What suicide note? - This was on her pillow.
- No, it wasn't. - May have been something you overlooked.
No. I distinctly remember being impressed with how crisp her pillowcase was
and that there wasn't a suicide note. This wasn't there.
Would you get them out of here?
You said she was an overachiever?
Look, even an overachiever can't write a suicide note after she's dead.
She wouldn't do this.
She was just beating the entire floors butt at Guitar Hero.
This was not a suicide.
What then? Murder?
Why would someone want to murder your roommate?
I don't know. Isn't that your job?
Yep. It sure is. Thanks for your help, Miss Bennet.
Dispatch, this is Unit 5-9. We are 12 blocks out. We're on it.
- On it? - We're on it.
Look at this parking lot. I'm not going anywhere in this mess.
You're right.
- What are you doing? - I'm gonna hoof it.
You're crazy. We're 12 blocks away. You'll never make it on foot.
Hesam, I grew up out here. There's always a shortcut.
Hi. I'm here to save you.
Danko and I, we were just talking in the hall.
The next thing I know, he's dead and this guy is on me.
I got lucky. This whole water thing, it just... It kicked in on instinct.
What are you doing here, Tracy?
- I wanted you to leave Danko to me. - I couldn't just let it go.
I didn't know if I could trust you to deal with him.
This is my life. I needed to know.
When I got here, I saw that you did what you promised.
He didn't know me.
So, I figured, just live and let live.
- And as I was leaving, this guy... - The guy with the knives?
He was fast. Scary fast. Definitely one of us.
One of me.
You have no idea why he'd want to kill Danko?
I think I heard him say he was looking for something.
I don't know. Maybe it was revenge.
- Danko made a lot of enemies. - This wasn't revenge.
Look at the wounds.
They're all to the stomach.
If it were me and I was looking for revenge I'd go for the jugular
or the carotid artery or the heart.
No. I think you heard right.
I think the killer was looking for something.
- That's personal. - And I think
- I found it. - What is that?
- A key. - To what?
That's a good question.
There he is!
So, that pregnant woman?
Heard she delivered twins. Named them both Peter.
That pregnant woman's name is Kristie, and she had twin girls.
- Thank you. Named them Haley and Katie. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, they're still up in Neonatal. You know, you should stop by.
- They'd like to thank you in person. - I'm good.
- What? - You single-handedly saved three lives.
If it was me, I'd be ﬂoating on cloud nine right now.
- I am. - You could have fooled me.
What's going on with you?
If I had showed up 30 seconds later, that woman, her babies, they'd be dead.
It's too close, man. I gotta be faster.
Dude, you got there faster than humanly possible.
If I was a religious man, I'd think it was a miracle.
A miracle.
- Catch you tomorrow. - Well, hang on. Where you going?
- Took another shift. - We just got off a double!
Yeah, I know, but James is sick, I figured I'd cover for him.
Too late. Jackson's already covering.
Dude, there's a life outside this place.
Now, me and some of the guys are going out.
Houlihan's is still open. Come with us.
I'm good, man. I'll see you tomorrow. Have fun.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Pete, it's me again.
Look, I've left you three messages. You need to call me back.
Something's happening to me,
and I think you're the only person who's going to understand what it is.
It's... Just call me.
Please.
Hello, Peter. Can we talk for a minute?
This is it. The moment I got my fortune.
It must be some kind of a test.
I cannot change my destiny. I won't.
Back home! Now!
My time! Now!
Care to take a chance, sir?
What? No, thank you.
What have you got to lose, Hiro?
Do I know you?
The name's Samuel,
and I think we're gonna be great friends.
- Can I get you something to drink? - Yeah, thanks.
- Love what you've done with the place. - Thank you.
So, I have water or mustard.
Water's good.
- So what've you been up to? - Got my old job back. Paramedic.
Must be keeping you busy. Your mother says she hasn't seen you in weeks.
Wow. This is amazing. Is this all you?
You using powers?
In my line of work, it helps to be strong, agile.
Thank you, Dr Suresh.
- It's a pretty convenient power. - Good for you.
I figure one of us has got to make up for all we've done.
- Meaning? - You, me, my family, the Company.
Come on, we haven't exactly been model citizens, Noah.
That's a pretty heavy burden for one guy.
- You said you wanted to talk? - Yeah.
Danko's dead. Killed because of this.
A key.
I did some research. This key opens a safe deposit box in a downtown bank.
Now, the way I figure it,
the guy that killed Danko is probably just waiting for whoever shows up with this key.
I need a partner on this, somebody I can trust.
He could jump me just about anywhere and I'd never know what hit me
'cause he's super fast and he has a thing for knives.
How fast?
Ando. Where is he?
He who?
My brother. You two are always together.
Oh! Him. He left.
I didn't see him leave.
Maybe he's hiding.
Hiro! Where are you?!
Tell me where my brother is.
The truth?
He slipped out of space and time...
and is now most likely at a carnival fourteen years ago.
Why do I even bother?
- So, you're a time traveller. - Yes! How did you know that?
I have a gift, Hiro. Just like you.
What are you doing here?
I'm thinking it has something to do with that young man.
Is he you?
- Yes. But I cannot interfere. - Why not?
Because this is where it starts, how I become the master of time and space.
If I interfere, I will never become a hero.
I won't save the cheerleader, and New York will explode!
It's the butterﬂy effect!
That would be bad.
I did ii!
But I bet there are some butterflies that you could change.
I mean, why not make this trip worthwhile?
No. You can never change the past. It's bad. Always.
Everything is connected! - Not everything.
Sometimes, if you wanna change one thing,
that's all you do. Change one thing.
You have a rare gift, Hiro, to right the wrongs of your life.
Isn't there anything else you'd care to fix?
The slushy incident! That was all my fault.
I bumped into Ando and made him spill his drink all over Kimiko's favourite dress!
That is the reason why she started to hate him.
Now's your chance to make them happy. You have the power.
No. I have a code. To never change the...
There are things in this world that are wrong, Hiro.
You can make them right.
If you master these skills, you and I will have a bright future together.
- You and me? I don't understand. - You just need to take a chance.
My balloon!
Oh, no.
- Thanks for letting me stay with you. - Of course. I would never leave you here
not after what happened.
Annie's parents came by last night.
I thought they should know about the supposed suicide letter.
You didn't say anything, did you?
No. But I think they have the right to know. Don't you?
I mean, if it were me' you would want to know.
It's not your business to tell the parents about the note.
- Let the police handle it. - It's the truth.
- Welcome back. - Hey.
Gretchen, this is my mom. Mom, Gretchen.
- Hi. Hi. - Pleasure.
Bizarre, huh?
I heard you told the cops that you didn't see a suicide note.
So, what do you think? Murder or horrific accident?
Claire may have been mistaken about the note.
May have been? Did you see one or not?
Well, I didn't at first. But it was dark. Maybe I missed it.
Suicide makes no sense. I mean, the girl had a trajectory.
Who maps out their life for the next 50 years and then throws themselves out a window?
I should go.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- Thanks for everything. - You're welcome.
Remember, new life, new beginning.
- Bye. Nice to meet you. - Likewise.
So, it's murder, right?
How do we prove it?
- So you think your knife guy is gonna show? - I don't know,
but it sure makes me feel better having you around.
Yeah, I'll bet.
Do you mind if I make an observation?
I think you should seriously consider how you're living your life.
- Where did that come from? - I saw your apartment,
the police scanner, all those newspaper articles.
You're saving lives and you're keeping track.
I'll bet you know every one of their names.
- And? - Do any of them know yours?
It's not healthy to live alone, Peter.
No connections to anybody it's a dead end. Trust me.
I'm Exhibit "A."
For years, I put my job ahead of my family, and now my kids are off at school
and I'm eating cereal for dinner and a strange man is answering my wife's phone.
My point is, I'm alone. That's no way to live.
Here you are, Mr Danko.
And I'll be right outside when you're finished.
So, what'd we win?
A compass? Danko got killed for a compass?
A broken compass.
Yeah, we need just another minute.
That doesn't belong to you.
- You got his power? - I got it. I got it.
Bloody hell.
- What happened? - I don't know. He took off.
He's still breathing.
Come on, Matty-man. You can do it. Show me you're a big boy.
- Look at you! All right! - Did you see that?
Good job. I got him. I got him.
Good job, dude. God, he usually takes so much longer to warm up to strangers.
Roy's not a stranger. He's been delivering water to us since Matty was born.
I can't believe it's been that long.
- Time flies, huh, Janice? - Yeah.
Yeah, it sure does.
Listen, the heating unit on your cooler is busted. I'll swing by later and fix it.
- Thanks, Roy. - Yeah, thanks, Roy.
- No problem. Bye. - Bye.
- What? - "Janice"?
- That's my name. - No. Your name is Mrs Parkman.
Look, when I delivered water, we were professional.
- You never delivered water. - Pizza, water. Whatever.
That's not the point. The point is...
He was here, I wasn't and I'm just a little pissed.
I thought we were past that.
Yeah. Yeah, we are. I'm sorry.
Hey. You're tired. You haven't been sleeping properly.
- Well, I've been snoring a lot less. So... - I'm worried about you.
It's just work.
I... I got a lead on this huge drug ring, and it...
All I need is the name of the supplier.
And if you could read a few minds, it would be a lot easier,
and you'd get some answers, right?
Yeah. But I told you I'm not doing that any more, right?
- I kicked that for good. - I know.
And I'm proud of you.
I'm just worried that it's taking a toll.
Don't worry. I got this under control.
- Hi. My name's Matt. - Hi, Matt.
It's been six weeks since I last used, and I'm feeling confused.
When I used' I was totally selfish.
I didn't think about what I did to others and howl may have hurt them.
Sorry. You mean like what you did to me?
Hi.
My name is Sylar.
It's been about six weeks or so since I've seen my body, and I want it back.
Recently, there have been these ghosts,
these things have been popping up from my old life and haunting me.
Do you really think you're gonna stop using your powers?
Are you crazy?
I mean, I bet you couldn't even make it through a day.
I can't seem to get these images out of my head.
You're weak. You're simple-minded.
- I bet I can make you use your powers. - Go away!
I could make you use your powers.
I'm sorry.
HEY, buddy, you okay?
Does this guy look okay? Seriously?
I mean, he's, like, 20 pounds overweight blood pressures through the roof.
He's like a heart attack waiting to happen!
Stop it. Stop it!
Let's get things moving along a bit.
Who's next?
Hiro! Are you okay?
What happened?
I went back to the carnival!
Fourteen years ago! Where it all started!
Did you save your life?
No. I could not change that.
If I didn't have my power, many people would have died.
So you went back and did nothing?
Not exactly.
Has anything changed for you, Ando?
No. Everything's the same.
- Anything at all? - No.
What about Kimiko?
One million yen per month. Your new rent, Hiro.
You want to use the conference room, you have to pay.
First, last, and security deposit... on my desk by tomorrow morning.
Kimmy. You're too hard on him.
No, you're too soft on him.
I did ii!
Thanks a lot, Doc.
- How's he doing? - He's recovering.
- I hope it was worth it. - No, not really.
Can't figure out why Danko thought this was worth dying for.
Can I see it?
- Hello. - What did you do?
I didn't do anything.
Well, apparently it only works for you.
- Here. - No. No, no, no.
Peter, this is a lead.
You saw that guy. There could be others out there like him.
Look, my life finally makes sense to me.
In the last six weeks, I've saved 53 people.
I'm with you for, what, an hour, and some innocent guy almost gets killed?
The further I stay away from you and whatever it is that you're doing,
the happier I'm gonna be.
He murdered Danko. He almost killed you and me for this.
So, why don't you just let him have it?
Look.
My life is simple, okay? I understand it. I don't need for things to get complicated.
So, why did you come with me?
The ability. It'll help me do my job better, the one where I actually save people.
I guess this is goodbye.
- I wish you all the luck in the world, Peter. - Thank you, Noah.
Hey!
Call your mother.
Forensic Pathology: Principles and Practise,
Spitz and Fishers Medicolegal Investigation of Death,
Knight's Forensic Pathology with all relevant addenda.
Where did you get those? The homicide bookstore?
Is there such a place?
Don't you think you're going a little overboard?
Don't you want to prove your roommate was defenestrated?
Of course. And, yes, I know what "defenestrated" means.
Well, don't get mad at me for using it in a sentence.
Have you ever heard of the "Jump, Push, Fall" test?
- The what? - It's when cops get a dummy
the approximate size and weight of the victim
and they throw it out of the window to see how it lands.
What page is that on?
It's not in there.
I saw it on an episode of Crossing Jordan.
Look, if you fall, you go straight down.
If you jump, go a little further.
But if you're pushed...
Sorry.
Cranky.
All we need is a dummy the approximate size and weight of Annie.
You're not serious.
Maybe we could swipe a cadaver from the medical school.
What? It's a victimless crime.
Let's not get carried away.
Why not? This is murder!
Maybe. But I'm not trying to be a social pariah before midterms.
Ship's already sailed, Claire.
So, where do we get our hands on a dead body?
Let me take a crack at this guy, see if I can get him to talk.
You seemed a little off today at the meeting.
No, no, no' no. I'm good.
- You sure? - I'm good. I'm under control. It's good.
Double shot of mocha. You look like you could use a little pick-me-up.
- It's okay. No strings attached. - Not interested.
Come on. Let's do this easy, right? Just two guys talking. Come on.
I get it. You are the good cop. How ironic.
So, we need a name, your supplier. All right?
You give us that name, you keep a clean record.
He's a liar, totally lying.
Why are you looking at my forehead? Does it say "schmuck" or something?
I wasn't staring at your forehead.
You're not getting a name, coffee boy.
Is that all you need, Matt? A name?
Seriously? What the hell are you waiting for?
It's gotta be ﬂoating around in his comical little brain somewhere, right?
- I don't do that any more. - You don't do what any more?
Why is that? Because you're addicted?
- Leave me alone. - Who are you talking to?
Just read his mind, Matt. You know you want to.
I could help you. I could take a nice little chunk out of his skull in the process.
- Stop it. - What's the matter with you?
Just give me a name, okay?
- Take it from him. - No!
- "No" what? - Why the hell not?
- Leave me alone. - You are a loser. Total loser.
No wonder your wife is having sex with the water guy.
- Shut the hell up! - I didn't say anything.
I'm not talking to you right now.
Come on, Matt. She's cheated on you once already,
and we both know what Janice needs is a real man.
Someone who's not afraid of power, someone who knows what to do with it.
I'm in control here, not the power. And not you, you son of a bitch!
Keppler! The guy's name is Keppler. Lives in Long Beach. Okay?
Just leave me alone.
- Hey - Hey, man.
Have a nice day off?
It was good. Very productive. I got a lot done.
- You okay? - Yeah. I'm fine.
- Is that clam chowder? - It is.
Smells good. Where'd you get it?
A place called Legal Sea Food. Got one for you.
- Never heard of it. - It's up in Boston.
- Boston? - Yeah.
- How'd you get it down here? - I know a guy.
That's the partner I know and love.
All available units. Code 3, 5th and Lexington.
Never mind that. We still got five minutes till we're on duty.
Peter?
Noah. Noah?
Just hang on. Just hang on, okay?
What? What? What? What?
They took the compass.
Hey, dude. Hey.
You don't need lo jam it or else you'll just bust the coil again.
Guess you don't know your own strength.
- Hi, honey. - Hey
- Roy fixed the hot water. - Awesome, Roy.
- Hey. - Hey.
Everything okay at work?
Yeah, yeah. It's another banner day.
- Hey, Roy. - Yeah.
- Let me walk you out, buddy. - Sure thing.
- See you Tuesday, Janice. - Thanks, Roy.
Bye, Matty-man. You be a good boy.
- Hey, man. - Yeah.
You got a family of your own, Roy?
- No. No. Maybe some day. - Yeah.
Look, thanks for fixing the hot water and all, but...
My pleasure. Must be tough out there for a single mom, right?
Yeah, yeah. Look, she's not single any more.
Tomorrow you're gonna ask for a new route
and you're never gonna stop by this house again.
So, I'm starting a new route. Guess this is goodbye.
Yeah, it is. Bye, Roy.
Gotcha.
- Hi. - Hey.
How are you?
You know, looks worse than it feels.
You called. I figured I owed it to you.
Hey, you know that key inside of Danko?
Turns out it led me to a broken old compass.
Your friend with the knives just came and took it back, anyway.
- You gonna go after him? - I don't know.
I prefer the old way of doing business. One of me, one of you.
This new way just feels too dangerous
to try to stop them alone.
Maybe this guy with the knives is like me,
just trying to get their life back, keeping what's his.
Maybe the idea isn't to stop them but to figure out a way to help them.
Yeah, maybe.
So, be honest. Why did you call?
You know. I can't call my wife, my...
Ex-wife. I didn't want to worry Claire. So, I just...
- I'm not sure... - I get it.
- You don't want to be alone. - Yeah, I guess not.
So, what's in the bag?
I have no idea. What is it? Clam chowder?
It's still warm. Looks like you have someone looking out for you.
You want some? There's plenty.
You got an extra spoon?
So you and Kimiko. Do I hear wedding bells soon?
Maybe someday.
What is so amusing?
Kimiko and I have been together for years.
No, you haven't.
She used to hate you.
I made it happen.
I am the reason...
you fell in love.
What are you talking about?
We fell in love at that carnival.
Remember, we had our first kiss on the Ferris Wheel?
That kiss never happened because...
you spilled slushy on her favourite dress!
Because of me.
But I fixed ii!
I un-did what I did wrong!
Now, you're happy.
That is my mission.
I must go back and un-do the wrongs...
I have committed in my life.
But Hiro, you're dying.
And you still can't control your power.
All the more reason to get moving!
No time like the present, don't you see?
Ando, every day is a gift.
Let's go!
Jump, push, fall.
I guess she did kill herself.
You had me worried.
Sorry. Getting the compass back was a lot harder than I thought.
I met an empath.
You talk to him?
Didn't really get a chance.
Lydia says you found another time traveller, someone to replace Arnold.
I don't like that word.
You can't replace family.
- But the Chinese guy... - Japanese.
I put him on a righteous path.
But he'll come back to us.
So, what's next?
We gather the rest.
