Heroes s03e18 Episode Script

Exposed

Previously on Heroes.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't tear open your head right here.
Because you'll never find your dad.
We need to show progress.
These are our targets.
Hunt them, track them, and bring them home alive.
If you kill me, I'll get exactly what I want.
And what is that? They'll see what I've been telling them.
They'll know just how dangerous you people are.
Daphne's alive, Matt! They have her, alive.
You're lying to me! No, no, no, no, no.
I won't fight you.
Your mother wants me to move out of the house for a while.
She's right.
We keep too many secrets in this family.
They're just locking people up? Believe it, it's happening.
Somebody sent me to warn you.
You must be on a list or something.
I can breathe underwater.
You're in danger.
You need to get out of here immediately.
We're all 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 can start over, become a new person where no one can find you.
Yeah, but I never agreed to that.
Okay, my family's here, my friends, my life.
Look, 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.
Look, 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.
Claire? Hey, Mom.
What's up? Our house money is gone.
You know, the money I keep in Mr.
Muggles' rubber sneaker.
Any idea where that went? Maybe Lyle took it.
Already grilled him.
Per usual, he has no clue.
Okay, fine, I took it.
I was gonna pay you back.
Claire, I don't get it.
You have a nice allowance.
What do you need $300 for? Are you in some kind of trouble? No, I just What is it, Muggles? What's under the bed, boy? What is it? What is going on with you, Claire? Nothing.
Nothing, I swear.
I didn't hear anything.
Mrs.
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 and put a gun to my head.
I saved your life, if I remember.
He made this personal.
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.
Matt.
What? 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, man, what 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.
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.
No.
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 them.
I think I know where they're headed.
Mom, this is Alex.
He's He's my new boyfriend.
Okay, that doesn't explain why he's hiding in your closet.
Right.
Well, we're Are you 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 agents still there? Pretty sure you lost them when you skidded off onto the dirt road.
But just to be sure.
Yeah, we're clear.
Officially off the grid.
No communications within 50 miles.
You sound disappointed.
Well, maybe I am.
I mean, the way I see it, agents catch up with us, we just Charbroil them from the inside out.
I don't want to leave a trail of dead bodies directly to my father's house.
Why are we even 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.
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 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? What the hell.
If you're hungry, there's a burger place up the road.
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 are you gonna save Alex, Claire? You can't go out there.
Are 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.
We 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're only so many minds that I can control at any given time.
You know what? You're right.
You're right.
Hey, 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.
You 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.
It 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.
I thought 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? The 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.
To 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.
Driver's license, please.
Now.
Thank you.
That was harsh.
He's a terrible driver anyway.
To disappear, you'll need a new identity.
Trick is to remove the photo without tearing it.
There.
I cannot believe you know how to make a fake ID.
Where did you learn that? Dad? No.
Claire, believe it or not, I was a teenager once.
An enterprising one not unlike you, young lady.
There was this band once, I just had to see.
Def Leppard.
Oh, my God, Rick Savage, bass player, so cute.
What I would have given to Mom! Sorry.
Alex, you need to change your looks.
They're 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.
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 did 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? So, what are we looking for? Something happened here.
Yeah, like a million years ago.
I've been here before.
How do you know? I remember.
My father was here, too.
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 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've gone out or something.
We could've been hiding in your bedroom for entirely different reasons.
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.
This is the first place they're gonna look.
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.
Okay.
Now, close it.
Close it behind you.
Okay.
Just another day in the Bennet house.
Let's go.
That is so weird.
Let's go.
You're not supposed to be here.
I'm off-limits.
Top floor is clear.
I told you, you're wasting your time.
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 can't 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.
I think I got something.
Daphne? Millbrook, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she's not here anymore, Matt.
Transferred to a medical facility.
Damn it, of course.
Wait, hold on a second.
Okay, 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? What is it? Come here.
Come here.
That's us.
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.
It just might work.
Let's do it.
Peter, I can't focus.
We gotta get out of here.
I need more time! It's done.
I got it! Matt! What? It's off.
Come on.
Let's go.
Go! Whoa, whoa! Wait, you do not want to shoot us.
Wait, wait.
Down, down.
Good, good, good.
Don't do it.
This is only gonna end badly.
Don't do this! I'll hold them.
You go.
No, what about you? There's no time! You go.
Go.
I'll hold them.
Matt, you know me.
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? I mean, not remembering all the crap that happens to you when you were a kid.
No.
It eats away at your soul.
Mommy.
Mommy.
So you didn't find Peter? You're not helping him, are you? Don't be ridiculous.
Someone's out there calling himself Rebel.
He knows where Building 26 is, 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, you can 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 dangerous files, and there are people who 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.
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 wanna meet? Hey.
My son and I are going to a movie.
Does that threaten the federal government? You okay? Yeah, fine.
You can get off of me now.
Oh, God.
We gotta go.
That way.
Yeah.
End of the block.
I think I see them.
We all set? The town car's ready.
Ten minutes to the exchange.
Your boys know where they're headed, right? Exactly where your brother wants, Right 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 the deal.
What's he talking about? What the hell are you talking about? I have another plan.
You realize if my brother is 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 a car and get them down to the parking lot.
Or do you wanna 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 is 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.
I'm all right.
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.
Give me 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've 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.
Goodbye, 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 US 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 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 suck.
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, but 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.
Freaking Rogers.
I was just waiting for the right time Hey, I got an idea.
Why don't we drive up to Canada? Because we're close to the border and we can 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 joyride, an escape.
I got news for you, kid.
There is no escape.
There's 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.
Wait.
Where are you going? To find my father.
Because now that I've seen the truth, I want him to die.
Wait.
What are you doing? You 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.
No, I don't want to hurt anyone.
Really? To me, you look exactly like a terrorist.
What 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.
I love you just the way you are.
I wouldn't trade this life for anything.
Me neither.
So, I made popcorn.
Figured we could watch a movie, some sappy love story.
Sounds perfect.
I'll be right down.
Hey, Barbie.
You! I got a message from someone named Rebel.
I need your help, Barbie.
