Heroes s03e06 Episode Script

Dying of the Light

Previously on Heroes.
You have to tell me where Mr.
Canfield went.
He's not a killer.
I'm not gonna send anybody to Level 5 who doesn't belong there.
You want me to kill your partner? Do it, and I will let you go.
I won't be a monster.
What's going on? Claire lied.
There was no cheerleading retreat.
She's obviously gone after one of them.
- Who is he? - His name's Eric Doyle.
It's okay, I know him.
I'll go get Claire.
This must be my future future.
The future has changed.
Her name's Daphne.
I've got to find her.
Are you okay? - Your brother tried to kill me.
He took Sylar's ability, and now he's suffering the consequences.
We're in a lot of trouble, Nathan.
How do you feel about recruiting? Recruiting for what? An organization for a new world order.
Your father was disappointed that you weren't born with the genetic code.
You did experiments on me and God knows who else.
I know a scientist.
Anybody can help you, he can.
Can he be trusted? Suresh? Yeah, he's harmless.
You would actually inject yourself with that? You're a monster.
I wish you hadn't said that.
Hello, Angela.
You can see the future.
I can't have that.
The team is coming together nicely.
We're building an army just like you Whatever you say goes, Mr.
Petrelli.
In every journey, the traveler must ask, "Was the right path taken?" Many roads are long and winding, filled with those who have lost their way.
Some forge their own course, guided by faith, seeking not a location, but a kindred soul.
Others step together, finding safety in the arms of another.
A few remove themselves from the trail to avoid the path of temptation.
But those who watch the track too closely fail to see where it led them, and they're often all too surprised by their destination.
Kill the other one.
Kill Ando? Yeah, he has no powers.
What good is he to us? You kill him, you are badass.
That's good.
He'll never do it.
Hiro.
Hello, Milosh.
Hiro.
I'm sorry, my friend.
I must make sacrifices to save the world.
Hiro.
Okay.
You're in.
You handle the rest.
I'm taking Adam Monroe to see the boss.
Oh, my God! You actually killed him.
That guy told me to.
Badass! That was to prove you wouldn't.
You're supposed to be a good guy.
Now, I'm a villain like you.
Me? I'm not a killer.
No, but you are a thief.
But I just do it for money.
It's not like anybody gets hurt.
Well, I want my payday, too.
Ando was useless to me.
He had no powers.
Now, take me to your boss.
I'm not taking you anywhere.
You get an assignment like everyone else.
Here.
You're going to Africa.
He's a precog.
A what? He can see the future.
Whatever he paints comes true.
Like Mr.
Isaac? Whatever.
My boss can't have someone like that out there.
Bring him to this address.
Alive.
Just so you know, it's not easy catching a precog.
Why is that? They see you coming.
Hi.
Where are you going? Meredith went after this creep, and it's my fault.
Mom, have you looked at his file? He's a psycho.
She's in danger.
Okay, I get it.
You wanna fight bad guys, save the world, be a hero.
I don't need special abilities like your mother, your other mother, to understand that.
Thank you.
I really have to go.
I'm ready.
Your father always said, "One of us, one of them.
" I'm the "one of us.
" Meredith Gordon.
As God is my witness I'm going to make you love me again.
It's like I told you all night long, Eric, I never loved you.
You disgust me.
You know, even when they stuck me on Level 5, I knew someday we'd be together again.
I'd like a destination wedding, like Fiji.
Let me go or I'll kill you.
You know how this works, Meredith.
You can't make a move unless I make you move.
So I don't take orders from you.
Stop it, Eric.
Eric, please.
Please.
You will love me, Meredith.
I promise you that.
You've heard of me, right? Adam Monroe? Guessing you have some sort of special ability.
What is it? I get strong off other people's fear.
I'm not afraid.
Seriously, you're wasting your time.
Arthur? I heard you were dead.
Wait.
No.
No! Please let me go.
You scared now? Arthur, no, please! I can be of use to you! Feels good to breathe again.
That would be a mistake, my dear.
Are we not paying you enough money? No, it's not that.
Hiro Nakamura was a good guy, but we turned him into a murderer.
I mean, I'm in way over my head.
Daphne, you and I have discussed this before.
I can't do this any more.
Oh, dear.
Well, that's a shame.
You've done so much for us.
We've done so much for you.
So much that we couldn't do for you anymore if you were to leave.
Let's keep this little lapse of judgment to ourselves, shall we? Look! There's your next assignment.
Okay, turtle, you got me home.
So now we just need to find Daphne, save her life, get her to fall in love with me.
So you just give me a sign.
I can't believe I'm talking to a turtle.
High five, turtle.
Daphne? How do you know who I am? It's actually kind of complicated.
Lucky guess.
Can we go somewhere and talk? Yeah.
Yeah.
Mohinder, can we come in? I'm relieved to see you're okay, Niki, but, really, you should have called.
I'm in the middle of some sensitive trials here.
She's not Niki.
We're sorry to interrupt you, Dr.
Suresh, but we need your help.
I'm Tracy.
Niki was my sister.
You're telling me you're not Niki? No.
Tracy has an ability, too.
That's why we're here.
A doctor did it.
Zimmerman? He altered our genes somehow.
A doctor did this to you? How? I don't know, I was just a baby.
This is exactly what I've been researching.
How to give people abilities.
I was told the same thing was done to me.
You're saying that it is possible.
I know it is.
Tell me, have you had any side effects? She didn't even know about it until four days ago.
Let me guess.
It first happened when you were in a state of heightened agitation.
You were frightened, angry.
It came over you like a wave you couldn't control.
Yes.
Can you remove it? I have a feeling we can be of great assistance to each other.
These people know things.
Pinehearst? They know how you struggled as a cop in LA to protect and serve, but that wasn't enough for you, was it? No.
No, it wasn't.
They know how you've been waiting your whole life just to be somebody.
Sounds to me like you're not buying your own pitch.
No, I am.
I just got a lot of appointments today.
So are you in or out? So this isn't about us? Us? Yeah.
No.
Sorry.
Who told you my name? No one.
I had this dream about the future.
But it wasn't a dream, it was real.
And you and I were We were married.
And I know about your speed ability.
And we had this beautiful baby girl and this pet turtle, and we're so happy.
We're soul mates.
I came here looking for you and what did I find? You are waiting for me.
I mean, that's got to mean something, right? This is getting kind of stalky.
So I gotta go.
No, no, no.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Look, the address is on the card if you're interested.
We named our baby Daniella After your grandmother.
How did you know Because I'm telling you the truth.
Look, I have a bunch of stuff to do today, but can you wait here? Here? Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll be back.
Don't go anywhere.
Okay.
Huh? This is going to work? And you're sure there's no side effects? It's just a marker.
Tags any unusual DNA.
You won't feel a thing.
Gonna make my job much easier.
You know, I always thought my ability was a gift from God, but after what my mother told me, I just I need to know the truth.
I understand.
I once put all my faith in my father's research.
Followed it blindly.
I never got anywhere until I thought for myself.
Let's do it.
Inside your blood there's the solution to many problems.
And with it, I can help everyone.
Something's wrong.
What's happening to her? She'll be all right.
What have you done to us? Who are you? What are you doing? My job.
I'm springing you out.
You're Sylar, right? You have places to be.
The guards are here in a few seconds.
Let's get going.
No.
No? Who do you work for? Someone who wants to work with you.
Why? Because you're a killer.
For some reason, you're important to him.
I don't ask questions like that.
Now, come on.
I'm not a killer any more.
And you're not going anywhere.
Look, I'm on your side! Can't you see they're trying to change you in here? Make you into something that you're not.
You don't know anything about me! But the man I work for does.
He likes you the way you are.
So you know where to find us.
We're going.
It's about time.
Peter.
Peter, you need to come with me.
Peter.
No, no, no.
What are you doing? I need your help.
Get away from me! No, no, no, no! I'm not going to hurt you.
You already did.
You gave me this hunger.
You made me a monster.
Now I can't control it.
I'm just like you.
I don't want to be that any more.
I'm trying to be different.
And I think I can control it, and if I can, then so can you.
When I saw you in the future, you You changed.
You found a way to suppress it.
How? I don't know.
But just knowing that I figured it out, just believing it's a possibility, gives me hope.
I don't want hope, I want it gone.
This is not about you and me.
I woke you because your mother's in trouble.
Our mother.
Hello, Mr.
African Isaac.
She said she knew him, maybe we just ought to give her a little more time.
She's still not answering her phone.
She's in trouble.
Oh, my God, Claire, where did you get that thing? Dad's closet.
Stay here, I'm going in.
Claire, we should call your father.
No, I don't want him here.
Claire, wait.
Claire, if we're going in there, we need a plan.
I've always had two left feet.
I But you were always graceful, and light as a feather.
Did you tell anyone you were here? No.
I swear.
Good.
Welcome, nice to see you.
Welcome, nice to see you.
What do you want? Hi.
Hi, I was wondering if I could book a birthday party for my son, Lyle.
He's six and he just loves puppets.
Yeah, I don't do parties any more.
Well, I would be willing to pay cash upfront.
Okay, fill this out.
Bring it back.
Well, I'll just fill it out here, if you don't mind.
I think I have a pen.
Fine.
On second thought, I will just take this little form and fill it out at home.
Who are you? Meredith, come on.
Come on, we got to get out of here.
Let them go.
I said, let them go.
No.
Those things have just one shot, right? That's much better.
Dr.
Suresh? Maybe.
Who are you? How did you just You know exactly how I just did that.
You know a lot about people like me.
That's why they sent me to you.
And what do they want with me? Access to your research, your database, contacts Why on earth would I give them that? That's not part of my job description.
All I know is that they've already figured out how to do the thing that you're trying to do.
To give people abilities.
They need your help, you need theirs.
Help to do what? Save the world.
Look, if you have questions, you can ask them, I'm just the messenger.
What was that? Help us.
Great, you're just as bad as the rest of them.
It's show time, ladies.
The gun has just one bullet.
What is it that you want, you sick What I want, Barbie, is not to be interrupted but since you're so eager, why don't you spin the gun? All right, time to choose.
Who you gonna shoot? No.
No, I can't.
You're not scared, are you? I mean, 'cause you're the hero with the big old gun.
Stop it.
Leave her alone.
What are you? Her mother? Oh, this is too good.
You are her mother? So what does that make you Meredith? I mean, 'cause, you know, you're too old to be her daughter, too.
So let's see, sexy, free-spirit Oh, you're the fun aunt, right? The one that Barbie really looks up to.
Go to hell! So what's it gonna be, huh? PTA mom who tucks you in every night, or cool aunt with flame throwing action.
I mean, come on, there's only one in six chances it will even go off.
Please, don't make me do this.
Fine, I'll choose for you.
Stop it! Stop! I promise you I will love you for ever and ever.
I don't believe you.
Pull the trigger.
No! If you don't do it, I will.
Okay, mom, your turn to spin.
Listen to me, leave them alone.
I Oh, you gotta love the irony.
I mean, it's like a Greek tragedy or something, right? Okay, mom, do it.
I won't.
Yes, you will.
Okay, look, these could be your final words, Barbie, so make them count.
Mom Mom, it's okay.
It's me.
You can't fight him.
Do what you have to do.
Pull the trigger.
Okay.
That was fun, huh? Show's over.
I found her like this.
She's in some kind of a coma.
You're worried.
You actually care about her.
She's my mother, too, Peter.
She's the only person who ever accepted me for what I am.
I should have protected her.
You've got to look inside of her head.
You've got to find out what's wrong.
What was it? What did you see? Just this.
I've seen this before.
So have I.
That ought to keep him down for a little while.
It's a good thing you called me.
Claire, you were amazing.
No, I wasn't.
I got us caught.
No, you saved us.
You may have got your genes from me, but you got your heart from your mom.
You did this, Claire? That's very impressive, sweetheart.
Claire! I'll talk to her.
She just has the wrong idea about me in her head.
She's a young woman now, Noah.
She just wants to be on her own.
She doesn't need you or me to protect her.
Well, maybe not, but there are a lot more people like Eric Doyle out there.
I could use some help.
What, from Claire? No.
From you.
Peter, don't.
You're in no condition to go to Pinehearst.
They spread abilities, causing the end of the world.
They did this to her.
I want revenge for what they did to Mom, too.
Stop calling her that! You are not my family.
Look, you took from me my ability.
I've lived with it.
The need for power will consume you, it will control you.
Get out of my way.
No.
I'm your brother.
You gotta listen to me, Peter.
You need help.
I don't need anything from you! I'm not gonna let you leave, Peter.
I've been down that path.
It's too dangerous.
You're too weak to stop me.
I know what it feels like now, all this power.
I'm the most special.
I know what you're thinking.
You didn't mean for any of this to happen.
You try to fix it, but everything you do just makes it worse.
It all got out of control.
But that girl that was here gave you a way out.
Some answers.
This was all so unnecessary.
Maya was right.
I am a monster.
Maybe we all are.
I understand.
Nathan, are you okay? Come here.
Okay.
We're not finished here.
What, you're not hungry? Yeah, me neither.
You came back? Yeah.
I'm supposed to recruit you to Pinehearst, but you wouldn't fit in.
It's not you.
It's I mean, it is you, but It's these people and the things that they do They're not good people, and you seem like a really sweet guy, so Great.
Okay Well, that's That's great.
I mean, that means that you and I should That means that you need to stay away from them.
Actually, you have to stay away from them, too.
In the future, Pinehearst is gonna get you killed.
That's why I wanted to find you, to save you, to keep that from happening.
You read minds, not the future.
I know, I know, but I met a guy in Africa, and everything that he paints Comes true.
Yes! So you've gotta stay with me.
No, you don't get it.
I have to go back.
I don't have a choice.
But you don't trust these people.
If you can read my thoughts, then you know that I don't know if I can trust you, either.
Forget your thoughts.
What is your heart telling you to do? Same as it always does.
Keep moving too fast to get caught.
What do they have over you? I can protect you.
No.
You can't.
Bye, Parkman.
Congratulations.
You were relying too much on your powers.
You forgot how to use your head.
But when you started to think, that's when you found me.
This was a test? Yes.
And now you are ready.
These are the villains you seek.
You can take me to them or you can follow your own path.
Mr.
Petrelli? I know, the bad guys are here.
That's what they call you, isn't it? Criminals, villains It's okay.
He's my son.
Dad.
Peter.
How is this possible? You're dead.
It's a long story.
So you're behind all this.
You You hurt Mom? Like I say, we need to talk.
Come give your father a hug.
It's all right, Peter.
It's all right.
I'm sorry it had to come to this.
You don't have your powers any more, Peter.
Because I have them now.
