Our lives as we knew them are over. To survive this, we've got to go off the grid. Where did you get these? Matt. He drew them right after the crash. He has Isaac's gift. This is India? You're right. It is my destiny to go there. You're going back to Costa Verde. So I get a pass, and everyone I know just disappears. Nathan, it's me. I want my old life back. I give you Peter and my part in this gets written off. You can trust me, Tracy. You said you were alone. I know. How many times are we gonna do this? What did we ever do to you? Nothing. Wrong place, wrong time. 'You killed the one shot I had of finding my old man.' I know where he is! Your mum have a car? Not any more. MOBILE PHONE RINGS It is so nice to have everyone under the same roof again. Noah, I hope this new job'll keep you home for a while. Absolutely. What does a consultant do, exactly? Well, it's complicated. Mostly, I meet with various business and government people. They explain their overall strategies and objectives and, er, I consult. Honey, do you have to do that at the table? Sorry. So, I have yet to hear word one about your trip. Claire? Nothing much to tell. You visited five of the best colleges on the east coast and you have nothing to tell? Which ones did you like, Noah? Brown. I liked Brown. Claire? Come back here. I think all this Ivy League talk might be a little intimidating. Maybe community college would be a better fit for now. I'll go talk to her. DOOR SLAMS What the hell was that? I can't lie to her any more. Your new job, our father-daughter college tour! We can't risk her knowing anything. The last time she knew she almost got herself killed. Your mom and Lyle are safer this way. You've been telling me that since I was 15. They're not just watching you, Claire. They're watching me. You brought a plane down out of the sky, federal agents are dead and people want you to pay. If we stray from the script, I won't be able to stop them. There won't be any paper trail, no trial. One day you'll just be gone and nobody can find you. And now the part where you tell me how everything you do you do to protect me. No. Now's the part when I tell you what you're going to do next. Start classes at Costa Verde Community. You're already enrolled. History, English Lit, Spanish. And come Monday morning, you'd better be in that front row with a sharp pencil or there is going to be hell to pay. MOBILE PHONE BUZZES Wires are up. Accounts are frozen. We have traffic cam feeds from all 50 states. Patriot Act gives us a lot of leeway. What's the status on the Bennet girl? Eyes only. We look, but we don't touch. Senator Petrelli has granted Miss Bennet a probation, for now. Should the terms of that arrangement be compromised, I will certainly bring it to his attention, assuming he finishes his latte and decides to show up for work. Double express. And Claire Bennet is still off limits. Now, I know a lot of you lost friends in this crash. You want payback, I understand that. Not all of these individuals are dangerous. Some are just plain scared. Now they know they're being pursued, they're gonna be harder to catch, so I put in a request to the White House to double our funding. We need to show progress. These are our targets. Know them. Hunt them, track them and bring them home, alive. This is so cool. Road trip. My mom never took me anywhere. We should stop at some skanky diner somewhere and get some pie and some milkshakes. We're not stopping. Sure? It's a long way till we get to your dad. Where is he? I told you, just keeping heading west. TYRES SQUEAL Yeah. You told me to keep heading west. Now I want to know exactly where he is. OK. He told me that if he ever had to disappear, I could find him in Minnesota. He's got a cabin in the woods, about 28 miles west of... You're lying. It's amazing how you can do that. Tell me where he is! OK. OK. He has an ex-wife who's a flight attendant. They had a kid that was born with some sort of weird bone disease. Stop. I can tell when people are lying because I open their skulls and rip their abilities out from their brains. Wow. So you're like a serial killer. I'm not a serial killer. Well, you've got a pattern. You go after specific victims. You collect mementos. OK, technically, I'm a serial killer. Now give me one good reason not to tear open your head right here. Because you'll never find your dad. This is not a road trip, do you understand? Sir! Are you Alex? You're a girl. Yeah. I am. It's just we don't normally get a lot of girls in here, you know. Listen, I'm just here to deliver a message. You're in danger. You need to get out of here, immediately. Victor. What? Oh, come on. A hot blonde in a comic book store. Victor sent you, right? This is payback for the whole birthday thing. Is this all gonna end with you giving me a lap dance or something? No! You have to listen to me, all right? This is not a joke. There are people out there who are after you. They will come in here and take you away. Yeah! In here? Oh, come on. You've got to do a better job convincing me. Your life is in danger. BELLS JANGLE Move, now! Move, now! Do you want to tell me what the hell is going on? There's a man in here. He's looking for you. He's very, very dangerous. Do you have your car here? Yeah, yeah, but it's out back. Alex working today? Alex Woolsey. I'm from the County Clerks Office. Afraid we have a situation with some outstanding parking violations. Would you rather just go and talk outside? PHONE RINGS Erm... Sorry. This isn't a good time. Is it important? Look, Dad, I was thinking about what happened this morning and I just... Er, sweetheart, I'm gonna have to call you back. That one. We're gonna need a team down here. Come on, come on! Hello. Hi. My name is Ando. I'm sorry. I'm Annapurna. Annapurna. Your name is familiar. Are you a guest of the groom? No. Not exactly. Are you OK? Just a little sad, that's all. On your wedding day? But this is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, isn't it? Yes, that's what they say. Then you must call off the wedding. This is incredible. I've been feeling so lost and confused. I've asked the heavens for a sign, telling me whether I should marry or not. A sign? Yes. A sign. You are the sign! You're the one I've been waiting for. Sign? No, no, no, no, no. It's not him. It's me. I'm the sign. That's it. The wedding is off. Do we have any response from the White House? Nothing yet. So these are the bad guys? Abby Collins. Homeland Security. Nathan Petrelli. Nice to meet you. The White House has transferred oversight of your operations to DHS. I'm here to find out what it is we bought. Just what we need. Another bureaucrat. Can I give you a tour? I don't know how fully briefed you are, but the last few days have shown that Eagle Rock prison is woefully inadequate. I've asked for such a large funding increase to reinforce the facility, so I can deal with these prisoners. Right, because they're all...magic. You don't believe any of this, do you? Who put you on this assignment? People close to the president are concerned about his exposure on this. Time travellers? Mind readers? We are dealing with a threat which this country has never seen before. We need better containment. I can barely handle the one detainee I... You're keeping a prisoner here? without warrant or Miranda rights? I'm gonna need to speak with the president directly. Well, that's not gonna happen. I'm your new boss and I want to see your prisoner. Now. This is what I'm talking about. Place like this. Worse food the better. Luke... You've got to stop trying to be my friend or I'll have to kill you. Do you like birds. What? I'm just wondering if it's genetic, because your dad, he's way into birding. I went with him, sometimes. He'd come and get me up about 4am and we'd be out walking the trail by dawn. We'd see goldfinch, cormorants, woodcocks. He would be pulling this old rusty wagon behind him, carrying all his bird box. Red wagon. Yeah. It had these big rubber wheels. He used to pull me in that wagon. I remember laying in a red wagon... All wrapped up in blankets and it was still dark. The silhouettes of the tree branches. I remember thinking they looked like... Snake fingers. He sold you for money, you know. He told me once he had a little boy a long time ago, but he needed cash, so he sold him. What kind of man sells his own son? Why would he tell you that? Maybe I reminded him of you. Oh, my God. I know. It looks harsh. We tried insulated gloves, but she shattered right through them. The constant heat is to ensure... Abby. This is Tracy Strauss? You know her? She used to lobby for a defence contractor. Abby, they won't let me out. You have to do something. What is this insanity? This woman is extremely dangerous. He's lying. You know me. This woman is Tracy Strauss and you have her shackled to a chair! That's why we need better funding. Funding?! I'm shutting this operation down. Today. Then I'm going to the AG's office and filing human rights violations against you, Senator. This is torture. You're through. Abby... Abby! I can't believe it. They're just locking people up? Believe it. It's happening. Somebody sent me to warn you. You must be on a list. List? Why is he after me? Do you have a power? Like a special ability or something? I can breathe under water. You mean like a...? Like a fish, yeah. I was in the swim team in high school. One day, I noticed I just didn't have to come up for air any more. Never told anyone. I didn't know there were others. You'd think I'd be proud of it or something, but instead I just... ..feel like a... Like a freak? Look, don't go home. Don't use your credit cards or your cell phone. He can find you anywhere. What am I gonna do? I don't know. We'll figure something out. What? The car that drove past, second time it went by. Is this car registered under your name? Get out. Believe me now? Let's go. The house specialities, ras mallai, kheer, halwa and jamun. So, this is your place? With Shila, yes. We opened two years ago, against my grandfather's wishes. Your grandfather? He believes in tradition. Thinks women should be at home raising the children. That's why he arranged my marriage to Deepak. But you don't love Deepak. He is a powerful and dangerous man. Above the law. My grandfather was too frightened to deny his request to marry. You must be hungry, my hero. Let me bring you more. HE SPEAKS ANGRILY Deepak, the groom. SHOUTING HE SHOUTS Excuse me! Is everything OK here? Who the hell is this? Ando. He is my friend. I see. You cancel the wedding because of him? No, no, sir, you are mistaken. I am just a guest. Sir! Calm down, sir. Sir! CRASH Ando! Deepak hit him with this. Ando collapsed. And then? Deepak carried him off. Ando. Found his car. He abandoned it about half a mile away. For a local kid, he's pretty good at this. If you're telling me it doesn't smell right, I've noticed. Did you know your daughter's car is parked a half block south of your location? Yeah. I saw that. She mentioned she had some errands to run. It's a small town. We'll talk. BUBBLING At least tell me how long this is going to last. Are we driving for another hour, a week? Check out ZZ Top. Oh! GLASS SMASHES Stop it. I'm just messing with him. Not here. We don't need the attention. Our power's are not for amusement, Luke. You understand that? I've never really talked to anyone about it before. My mum thinks I'm enough of a freak as it is. So, what, you only use your powers for a reason? Usually. Sometimes I disappoint myself. Always have an objective. Know your end game before you lift a hand. What else? Keep a clear head. Emotions make you sloppy. The most important thing is you understand your motivation. Always know what it is you want. What is it that you want? For me... it's mostly been about acquiring abilities, but lately... ..lately, all I want to find is my father. I want to meet the man who made me. Look him in the eyes. What are you hoping to see in there? Where I came from, I guess. Why I turned out the way I did. I'm just thinking he'll have some answers, that's all. HE SIGHS This is the address. It's a two-day drive. You shouldn't have done that. Now there's nothing to keep me from killing you, is there? Well, I guess I'm just hoping that you won't. BELL RINGS Emergency exit. Walk. Don't run. Move. There's only two. We could take them. They're the scouts. WOMEN SCREAM Gotcha. Right on the sweet spot. Everyone on the floor. Now! Please don't let him hurt me any more. Please don't let them hurt me any more. I want to go back to my mum. Please. I want to go... Stand back. That was awesome! Hey! Sylar! Thanks for the address. What? TYRES SQUEAL Wait, Sylar! Sylar... MEN SHOUT Let's follow him. Grab the kid. Deepak will let Ando go if I honour my commitment to marry. And if you don't? I must prepare for the wedding. PRAYERS ARE SAID Stop! This wedding cannot go on. Annapurna can not get married to this man. She's being forced into this against her will. You're making a mistake. You have kidnapped my friend. I want him back. He's being held hostage. It's not I who broke our agreement. She does not want to marry you. All my life I've tried to please you, grandfather... but if I marry Deepak, I will be giving up everything that matters most to me. Perhaps a traditional marriage is not my destiny. We had a deal. The woman and the bakery belong to me. You leave her alone. Give me back my friend. That's it. The wedding is off. You're too much trouble. I don't want to marry you. And you can have your lousy friend back. This is it. The moment in the drawing. This is me... being the hero. Yatta! CAR ALARM BEEPS So how was your day? Dad. Do you want to tell me what the hell you're doing here? I was just applying for a job at the coffee house. Stop it, Claire. What, they posted a help wanted online. I know you're lying. Well, I did learn from the master. You think you're invincible, but you're not. Just because you can't be injured doesn't mean you can't be caught. Do you have any idea what happens if they think I can't control you any more? That's the thing, Dad. You can't. HE SIGHS Reports are in from the diner. They've brought down the kid, Luke Campbell. Sylar? DHS is trying to take us down. All we have is a 17-year-old boy. From the Office of the Secretary. You're hereby notified to cease and desist this operation in its entirety. Abby, don't do this. Give me five minutes. Let me change your mind. Just suspend your disbelief for a second and imagine that these people exist. People who possess powers. It still wouldn't justify torture. SHE YELLS I'm talking about people who could slash your head open with their finger. Make you think what they want you to think. Get inside your head. This is your argument? That these people are so dangerous that they have no constitutional rights? There's no justification for treating people this way. American citizens, no less. You can't pull the plug on a war when you haven't even been to the front lines. ALARM BLARES Guard, over here! Excuse me. Tracey. Fire. I'm really sorry you had to witness that today. I know how upsetting that must have been. It's definitely something I won't soon forget. I wouldn't be doing any of this unless I believed in the bottom of my heart, these people are just too dangerous to be among us. Don't worry. You'll have all the funding you need. Don't fill up. Dad's bringing home take-out from that new Indian place. Sounds good. I didn't mean to pry this morning. It sounds like your trip was a little... I don't know what, disappointing? Did you guys have any fun at all? Take in a Broadway show? Dad was a little busy... ..abducting innocent people. He's not been honest with you, Mum. He's not a consultant. He's working for a secret programme imprisoning people with powers. With the company? No. The company's gone. This is something else. Honey, are you sure? Maybe he was... I was there. I saw it. They were loading prisoners onto a transport plane and they had them all hooded. They were drugged. It was horrible. Oh, my God. It's starting all over again. No. This is worse. They're taking everyone, not just dangerous people, anyone with an ability. That apartment. Dr Suresh. Peter. I'm sorry. I just can't lie to you any more. DOOR OPENS Indian food? Go on upstairs, honey. What's going on? Noah, I can't take it any more. I just can't. What are you talking about? I know what you're doing. Hunting people down. You don't know what I have been doing. Don't lie to me, Noah. You have no idea. I really wanted to believe that you could change, that you could be someone different from who you really are. Do you have any idea how difficult this is? Maybe I don't have a choice. There is always a choice. The government has a list of people they are rounding up and they have made it very clear that if I am not on board then Claire will be on that list. Don't make this about Claire. Tracey, I don't know how you did it, but you'd better get used to the heat because you're never getting out of here again. We both know what you did. What are you talking about? Broken chain. Unlocked door. You wanted me to escape. You know what... next time I will. TRUCK BEEPS MEN SCREAM SCREAMS AUDIBLE ON HEADPHONES Hey, something's wrong. Team leader, this is... Team leader, this is Central. 'Please respond. 'Team leader, this is Central. Do you copy? Repeat. Do you copy? 'This is Central Command. Go to Channel B. Please respond. Do you copy?' 'Team leader, this is Central. Please respond.' I finally figured out why your names are so familiar. A fax came in addressed to Hiro and Ando. See. It's from someone named Rebel. Who? Just an address in Los Angeles. And the words, "Save Matt Parkman". It's a message from Destiny. So you straightened it all out with mum and now you're off to a new assignment. No. No. Your mother wants me to move out of the house for a while. She's right. We keep too many secrets in this family. So I'm going to try to be a better person. Better husband, better father. And not tell lies. And if we all work really hard to be honest with each other, then maybe we can... heal these wounds. But I'll be around. We'll get through this. I love you, Claire. I'll see you. Thanks for coming back for me. I didn't come back for you. I came back for this. You just happened to be there. Hmm-mm. Tracked me twice in less than a week. I knew if I kept driving it was only a matter of time before they caught up to me again. I needed to understand how they work. Still, you could have just left me. HE TURNS ON RADIO # Oh-oh, psycho killer... # HE LAUGHS # F-f-far better... # Mark Leggett. Excuse me. The analyst who died in the hall today. That was his name. Mark Leggett. Thought you'd want to know. He left a wife and two kids. You let her out, didn't you? You murdered an innocent man. There are times in a war when someone has to fall on a grenade. He didn't fall. You threw him. I saved your ass. Our project was about to be flushed and I helped us both out. Petrelli, it needed to be done. I'm sorry that a man had to die. Why don't you apologise to his bloodstain? It's still warm. Staying here at the hotel? Just for a little while. I'm actually looking for an apartment in town, if you know of anything. Mm-mm. Welcome to Costa Verde. HE SCOFFS Well, it looks like our friend here had about three to many. Don't worry, we'll get him home safe.
