This has been lovely.

Mrs. Petrelli, you're not listening to me.

I'm listening, there's a hole in your apartment.

It... it's been there a week and a half.

What's this? Where are the workmen?

I fired the contractor.

He wanted to have sex with me.

There's only one man I know capable of this.

And he's been in an insane asylum

for 10 years.

Mrs. Petrelli, yesterday I... I found a pigeon in the apartment.

You know the rule, no pets.

Ooh. Nice drop.

Hello.

Uh, yeah, he's right here. Can you hold a minute?

Shelby Ritter.

Tell her I'm not here.

I just told her you were.

Why don't you wanna talk to her?

'Cause she's gonna ask me

to some stupid dance next Saturday.

I thought Shelby's the one you like.

She is.

Oh.

You want me to make an excuse?

Unfortunately, he contracted jungle fever,

and died not long ago.

No, I'll take it in my room.

I gotta get to my tap class.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What about the hole?

You know, a lot of tenants would have fixed it themselves.

I'm just saying.

I think you two ought to move in together.

You think so? Sure.

I can get a fortune for that small studio.

I've gotta go.

What... Where are you going?

I have a Save the River meeting tonight.

You going out again tonight?

But it's Saturday.

I'll tell the fish.

You never stay home anymore.

Oh, you're making the face. Don't make the face, just say it.

Okay, last night you were with the ozone people.

And if it's not that, you're off throwing fake blood on animal research labs, or...

you know, I... I miss you.

I don't think you realize how important all this is to me.

No, I do, I do. Look, I've done political stuff.

When I... when I was in college, a group of us took over the administration building.

Did you get laid?

Oh, for heaven's sake.

You know I'd never do a thing like that.

Yeah. But we also helped end the war.

Oh, that was you.

Tell you what, Tupper.

Tomorrow night I'll make dinner.

Just the two of us.

Yeah, I'll... I'll see you later. Much, much, much later.

Martin and Nina?

I think they make a great couple.

She's very different

uh, from me.

Which I think is probably very exciting for him.

Hey, relationships are hard.

I mean, look at me and Shelby Ritter.

In first grade, she used to bite me.

Now, speaking as a psychologist,

conflict can be a very healthy element in a relationship.

On the other hand, speaking as Martin's ex-wife,

oh, I'll bet he hates it.

I think Nina, in 705,

is very good for Martin in 502.

I myself have learned a great deal from her.

I don't eat veal anymore.

I don't use the aerosols.

I never wear my mink coat,

except if it's very, very cold.

Hey. Hi. Hi.

That smells great.

Looks healthy.

Okay, out of the kitchen.

What are these brown slippery things?

The brown slippery things are wood ear mushrooms.

Great, a food with "ear" in the title.

You know, and... and what are the floating bits there?

The floating bits are lotus root.

Lotus root,

sounds like a vegetable, looks like an animal.

Nobody knows.

Gives me the creeps just to think about it.

That's it, Tupper. You're tasting it.

Oh.

I feel funny.

What do you mean you feel funny?

Kinda weak and sick all over.

Hey, that's good.

It's like, uh... Like what?

Meatballs. Carbon monoxide.

Three lavender pygmies.

Soup.

No. No, I mean it.

God, I missed you today.

Ignore them, they'll go away.

Oh, no, I... I can't.

It's my door, Tupper. Yeah.

Yeah, but it's my neurosis.

Hold that thought.

Where's Nina?

Holding a thought.

Hello.

They lifted the injunction.

Oh, you're kidding. Tupper, watch dinner, please.

Well, uh...

I'm Martin.

I'm Little Star.

I'm sorry.

It's just that you always know whose parents were hippies in the '60s.

My parents are Native American.

Oh.

This is my father, Mighty Red Arm.

He is an Indian.

This is my mother. She is called Star Bird.

She, too, is an Indian.

Uh, do you belong to a tribe?

We're Apache.

Do... do you have a reservation?

Do I need one?

N... no. No.

It's an Indian joke.

Star Bird, one real mixed-up squaw.

I'm sorry, I have to go. What?

It's a crisis, no one else can handle it.

Fine. Fine, fine.

Wait. Why don't you stay and eat?

No. No, thanks, I just got a sudden craving for baby seal.

Nina's a challenge, and I think that's good for him right now.

A challenge?

Yeah, that's what I want to snuggle up to

on a Saturday night.

Talk about high maintenance.

I don't know what she sees in him.

Made me sad.

I wrote a poem.

I didn't like it.

I threw it out.

Jeremy, there's nothing to be scared of.

You know, it's just a dance, and dancing's fun.

Why can't we just call Shelby, and tell her I'll be sick that night or something?

Because by the time your dad and I are through with you,

you are gonna be a regular Gene Kelly.

Who's Gene Kelly?

I'm a man.

Now, the hardest part about dancing

has nothing to do with the actual dancing, okay?

It's... it's asking the girl to dance.

I wanna dance.

Well, I don't want to dance.

A girl told me that once.

I didn't like it.

I hit her.

It doesn't matter, they're gonna want to dance with him.

Don't make him crazy.

Now, there's, uh... There's two kinds of dancing.

There's fast dancing and slow dancing.

Why don't we just start with the fast dancing?

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, so, you just... You just go with the music.

What? What?

It looks fine with a room full of people, okay?

I'm sorry. Yeah.

Now, the great thing about fast dancing is,

if you get lost, you just, uh...

You just do what the girl's doing.

I'm... I'm sorry, man.

But it's just that sometimes you are the whitest person I know.

Fine, why don't we move on to the slow dancing?

Okay, it's fun, isn't it? Huh? Come on, Eddie.

No! I'm...

enjoying the breeze.

Come on. Come on. I just want to show him.

Now, the boy's supposed to lead.

What happens if you don't?

Three broken ribs, check.

A broken clavicle and a broken patella.

Uh, well, nothing.

It's... it's just better if you do.

So, uh, which one of you is the boy?

Uh...

Why don't we let Uncle Eddie be the boy.

Okay.

So...

Yeah.

You move with the music.

You're very good.

Thank you.

Maybe, uh, you whisper in her ear.

You're so hot.

Maybe you pull her close. Oh!

Maybe, uh, she puts her head on your shoulder.

Maybe not.

But it's easy, see?

Oh.

We're... we're just showing Jeremy.

Yeah, a little demonstration is all.

Come on, Eddie,

let's go put up some of that drywall.

Nina!

Hey, Tupper. Hi.

So... Well? No well.

I'm all yours tonight.

No surprise rallies? No midnight cabals?

Nope, the planet can save itself for one evening.

Thanks.

So, what's the topic?

Nuns with guns? Narcoleptic hookers?

Nah, it's some big industrialist who's come out

with an exercise video for executives.

Armchair aerobics.

Swivel, swivel, swivel, squeeze. Swivel, swivel, swivel, squeeze.

Swivel, swivel, swivel, squeeze.

Hi, Bob, how you doing?

How's the market? Squeeze.

I can't fucking believe it. What? What? You're...

you're politically opposed to aerobics now?

That is the bastard whose factory we've been trying to close down.

No, no, no, no, Nina, please. Don't start anything, okay?

Let's just have a nice evening,

and tomorrow you can dump some dead fish on his lawn, okay?

Swivel, swivel, squeeze, swivel, swivel...

Oh, don't worry, darling.

I'll behave.

You know damn well your factories have been

dumping toxic sludge into the Hudson for years.

There's never been any proof to those allegations.

You guys think you're so clever getting away with this.

This is water our children are drinking.

New York City water is filled with chemicals.

That's why it's safe to drink.

The woman is making this up.

I am not making it up, this is something...

I hate to cut you off, but that's all the time we have left.

Whew! Talk about a workout.

The name of the video is Harry Loefler's Armchair Aerobics.

I'm Eddie Charles. Take care, everybody.

And we're out.

Eddie, I... I don't know what to tell you, man.

I'm really sorry. Hey, no problem, man.

That was great television. I'll see you in a bit.

Nina... Shut up.

I'm not talking to you.

Excuse me? You're not talking to me?

Don't you ever apologize for me again.

You are not responsible for me.

You're not my husband, you're not my father.

Okay, I just don't understand why we can't have one evening

that doesn't end in a speech or a protest.

Look, Tupper, I'm sorry if it embarrasses you, but this is who I am.

This is what I believe in.

What do you believe in? What is important to you?

Come on.

Baseball, is that right?

Global warming.

Baseball.

The... the rain forests.

Baseball.

Nuclear stuff.

Nuclear stuff? Very enlightened.

It's moments like this I don't know what the hell I'm doing with you.

Look, I'm sorry. I've never staged a rally.

I don't have a police record. I've never even had a beard.

So if that's a problem for you, I don't know what you're doing with me, either.

Okay, everybody ready for dinner?

Check, please.

It's never gonna work.

I mean, she is this politically committed environmental activist,

and he's a regular person.

But let's be perfectly honest,

nothing lasts forever.

Except Styrofoam cups.

And I learned that from Nina too.

So, how are you and Nina doing? Great.

You're a liar!

Yeah, we're... we're terrific.

Liar! Liar!

Actually, not so terrific.

Oh, no. Why?

I... we're just so different.

You know, I mean, there's her political stuff,

and she's got all these opinions.

About what? Everything.

That Americans are slaves and afraid.

That democracy is a big joke.

A dream of foolish people in Europe.

I don't know, we've been really weird lately.

You know, we've been fighting all the time.

Yeah, but you and Nina always fight all the time.

No, no, only half the time.

And the rest of the time...

We're making up.

Oh.

Yeah, but now, it's...

Do you remember what we were like?

Do me a favor, will you, please?

Call me Toots or Butch or anything,

but please don't call me "my love."

God, we made each other miserable.

Well, yeah.

And... and toward the end there,

we couldn't even look at each other.

I loathed you, I couldn't even be

in the same room as you.

Okay. Okay.

You know, and neither of us

had the guts to just walk away.

You know, but let me tell you something.

I'm never gonna let that ever happen again.

Thank you.

Why don't you get out of it? Forget her!

Back and front.

Side, together, back, side, together,

front, side, together.

You're doing really well. This is really good.

Thanks, you're... you're a good teacher.

Front, side, together...

What if we are two different types?

Don't opposites attract? Well...

Together, front, side, together,

back, side, together, back...

Hi. Hi. Looks good.

Hey, your mom's waiting downstairs.

Thanks. See you later, Dad. See you.

You're gonna be wonderful.

Bye. Bye.

May I, uh...

I love you, Nina.

Police.

There's no escape. We've got you trapped.

Throw your gun through the door, and walk out with your hands up.

Hello? Anybody home?

It's the police.

Open the door, Martin.

But I'm not afraid of the police.

Well, I am.

Well...

I'm Detective Tamborini. This is Officer Shaw.

Are you Martin Tupper?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, what has this man done?

It's possible he might be the strangler.

He hit me.

He hit me hard. He was eating my spaghetti.

What... what do you guys want? We'd just like to ask you a few questions.

Do you own a black sedan, license 2D7876?

After the ice cream soda, what did you do?

Is this your purse?

Do you know a Nina Ferrara?

Uh, maybe, uh, why?

Do you know where we might find her?

Hmm. Nina.

Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina.

I'm right here.

Nina Ferrara? Yes.

Oh, handcuffs. Look, he... he's got handcuffs.

Nina Ferrara, you're under arrest.

You're under arrest. Why?

Why? Why are you under arrest?

We have good reason to believe that Miss Ferrara here

is one of several people who blocked off a waste pipe

at the Loeflercorp factory.

You what?

My Nina?

The waste backed up.

The pipe exploded under the main manufacturing floor.

They're looking at close to $15 million worth of damage.

You idiot!

But you didn't do it, right?

I mean, tell him, tell him you didn't do it.

We did it. Don't tell him that!

We're prepared to take responsibility for it.

We want people to know.

Well, they did it.

And kinda clever how too. Using bricks like that.

My bricks? You had to use my bricks?

Excuse me, folks, I've got some rights to read here.

Hang on. When did you do this?

Thursday night. Thursday night?

This is why you couldn't go see Lady and the Tramp?

Nina Ferrara, you have the right to remain silent.

Hold it, why... why didn't you tell me?

I knew you wouldn't be supportive.

Of course I wouldn't be supportive!

"Have a nice evening, I hope you don't go to prison"?

Anything you say can and will be used...

Wait a minute. Tupper, somebody had to do it.

But why did it have to be you?

They were dumping toxic sludge.

I'm not talking about toxic sludge!

I'm talking about us!

I gotta admit

I haven't known the couple in question a long time.

But my personal instinct tells me it's not gonna work.

Now, don't get me wrong. They seem like very nice kids.

But with her previous record,

she's looking at three to five years, minimum.

That can have a very negative impact on a relationship.

"The EPA has finally confirmed that toxic amounts of cyanide,

lead and trichloroethylene were found in the waste at the damaged plant.

As a result, they're shutting down all Loeflercorp facilities

until a full investigation can be completed."

Front page, New York Times.

That's great.

I'm proud of you, you know.

I still can't believe I have to talk to you through a fucking screen though.

I mean, I can't believe you would do this to us...

Sir. Could you hold it down there?

I'm... I'm okay. I'm okay.

I am proud of you.

And I... I'm gonna wait for you.

No, Tupper. No. No. No.

I am... I'm gonna bake cakes...

with files in them and everything.

No.

I love you, Tupper.

But I'm not gonna change.

Even if I get out of here in three years for good behavior,

I can't promise I'm not gonna get involved in something else

that'll land me right back in here.

We could work around your schedule.

Or, uh,

I could become a warden. You know, I mean... What...

It... it could work.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay.

I'll visit you.

See you, Tupper.

Oh, you're making the face.

Don't make the face.

Front, side, together, back.

You're doing really well. This is really good.

Thanks. You're a good teacher.

I love you, Tupper.

But I'm not gonna change.

Forget her! I wish I could. But it's impossible.

Who are you?

We're the Hummels.

Oh.

We're just moving in.

Uh, how...

how did you know this was available?

We read about that lady going to jail and said, "Hey, there's an apartment."

Aha.

Oh, here.

It's a spare.

Hey, look, uh,

don't throw out those newspapers, okay?

You know, they're... they're recyclable.

Sure. Okay.

Better change the locks.

Now promise me you will be obedient,

and you'll say your prayers,

and you'll be a good boy.

And I'll promise you one more thing.

I promise I won't ever forget you.
