Previously on Hero, what the hell did you do to me? I asked you the same

All I know is that I woke up in your room somehow and you were gone. They

blackmailed me, just like they're gonna blackmail you. For a man whose campaign

is founded on sound family values, this could be really embarrassing for you,

especially considering your wife.

Two million dollars makes me a candidate in your pocket. Four million makes me a

congressman.

It's about the videotape. The tape where you're like killing yourself like 20

times. That was attempt number six.

It was in my backpack and now it's not. What?

It's gone. What do you mean it's gone? We have got to find that tape.

Dad, did you get out of jail? I walked out because I got a secret.

A secret too?

What do you think DL is going to do when he finds out what we've done? What

we've done?

We framed him.

I'm taking my gun and I'm taking the money.

You're not taking anything.

Everything we say, everything you see, by tomorrow it won't matter. What, a guy

can't cook dinner for his wife without being accused of cheating on her?

Al, you were missing for a day, and now this?

I love you.

You're like you're in my head.

There's a piece about that size. I painted it weeks ago.

Simone has it. What was it of? I don't remember. It was high. We need to get it

back. A guy from the future said you needed it.

Now, Amcor is holding steady, but Yamagato, Yamagato is down to 215 and an

eighth. I think that's a good bargain.

Really?

What do you know?

You're saying I couldn't pick a stock?

Ah, Darwinian.

Look at yourself, yes.

Barely able to make minimum wage.

Now, you look at me, living in a penthouse in Central Park West.

Correction.

Dying in a penthouse in Central Park West.

Right you are, my boy.

Right you are. Teach you to mess with me?

Take a breath.

In the end, all that matters is love.

I love you, Peter.

Love you too, Charles.

You speak your mind.

You know who you are, you know what you want.

That's your power.

That's your strength.

What if I let you in on a little secret, Charles?

You can say anything to me. You know that.

I can fly.

Really? Well, if you can fly, then show me.

All right.

Watch this.

Simone? What's wrong?

It's my dad.

I was so worried. I was just having a dream about him.

He passed away about an hour ago.

I really needed to see you.

You know, I get that you're sort of socially slow, but you know you're

to call someone before you pull over? This you're going to want to hear right

away. I found the tape.

What tape?

The tape of you trying to kill yourself 20 times. I found it.

Look, I was looking for my PSP under my bed, right? And there it was.

Look.

You're safe.

I thought this was supposed to be good news.

Well, I can't believe you had it this entire time. Why didn't you look there

before? I did. I tore the whole room apart.

I must have checked the bed like 50 times.

Morning,

Mrs. Bennett.

Morning, Doug.

How are you, Zachary?

I'm all right. Claire keeps punching me, though.

Your death plan's going to be laid. I won't be home till 8 or so. I am

you to hold down the fort.

Because Lyle never listens to me.

Well, he will listen to you today because he knows what a big day it is

Muggles. Thank you.

And he doesn't want to stress us out, does he?

Sure.

Will you two help me out to the car?

Your dad left all of that sprinklers last night, and I don't want to get his

polygons soggy.

Here we go.

Wish Mr. Muggles good luck.

Micah?

Micah?

Help me.

Things have been really good between us these last couple days, don't you think?

I don't know.

I like it.

I just feel like we've been really honest with each other.

And that's good, right?

Yeah.

There's something that we need to talk about. Something that I've discovered.

Well,

what?

What is it?

I don't... Oh, God.

What?

What did you want to say?

You can wait. Actually, I gotta... I gotta get to work.

Oh.

Matt.

Mickey.

I was knocking like forever.

What is it?

Micah.

I feel okay back.

He took it.

I tried to protect my son.

But I couldn't.

I feel him.

Landlord said Isaac. gone. He took his paintings and...

Did you know he was leaving?

No.

I can't believe you just go like that.

Not when you're just starting to make sense with his paintings.

I wanted to tell him what happened in person.

Isaac sketched it for my dad's 70th birthday.

You know, I've been trying to get him clean forever.

One time I need him.

It feels like everybody's leaving me.

I'm not going anywhere.

He was still in a coma.

And then like it was any other day, he started talking.

He said he'd been flying all over the world.

But that it was a world he didn't recognize.

There were so many people filled with pain.

Nobody looking out for each other.

He worried for them.

Until you told him everything would be okay.

What do you mean I told him? I know it doesn't make any sense, but he said that

you were flying with him. And you told him it was all going to be okay.

That there were people who cared.

Who would make a difference.

That you would save the world.

After that, he just put his head down and he was gone. Like he was falling

asleep. I never had.

That conversation with your father, I... It sounds like something you would say.

Those messages you left on my answering machine.

You said you wanted one of Isaac's paintings.

Because it would help you save the world.

It's hard to explain.

But if you had that painting...

painting you want?

I sold it to a guy named Linderman.

He lives in Las Vegas.

Linderman gave you four million dollars and you're spending it on postcards.

I take it I'm supposed to choose?

That one. Well, that isn't a red flag.

You two agreeing on something.

All right.

I'll go to the office and have this printed up.

Don't you want to hear about how the New York Journal wants to do a cover story

on you?

I've invited Oliver Dennison to come for Family Brunch and do an interview.

You're kidding.

No, I never kid about Family Brunch.

That's because we never had Family Brunch. Nathan, this could be great.

No problem.

Dennison could go anywhere for a bagel.

If he comes here, he's going to want something.

Nothing wrong with taking advantage of an opportunity.

Mandy?

Kids, why don't you go finish that train set we started this morning, all right?

Take him upstairs.

I am not going to use my family for political gain. Tell that to Peter.

Nathan, you've been trying to protect me since this happened.

It's sweet in theory, but in practice, it's insulting.

I'm not made of glass.

I know.

But we don't need this.

Four points behind says we do.

Now, I've been hiding in this house for the last six months because your polling

was afraid I'd make you look weak.

But now I can help by coming forward.

Let me.

You sure about this?

Set it up.

Chef's been cooking all morning.

Oliver will be here in an hour.

I better get ready.

You feel okay, man?

Hey, Tommy. Yeah, I'm good.

My buddy. We rode in the same car together for three years.

I can practically read your mind.

Dude, I don't know where to start.

Well, how about we go get a beer?

Dodger game at 7.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Thanks.

What's going on? What are you doing here?

Tyler. He's killed again.

We'll brief you on the way to the morgue.

Silas? Silas? I've got to talk to my watch. Come here. It's taken care of.

I'll be outside.

Put on some real person clothes.

Lyle, you better not think I'm cleaning up after you. We just got rid of all

those ants.

What are you doing?

Shut it off.

Lyle, give it to me!

Give it to me!

Claire!

It's amazing what you can do with special effects these days, huh?

That was all special effects.

Lyle! Get back here!

Lyle!

Lyle! Get back here!

Hey!

Why are we trying to kill him again?

Because he found the tape and then he stapled me.

Help! Somebody help me! My sister's a freak!

We found him in a parking lot in Brentwood.

Name's Robert Fresco, an oncologist at UCLA Medical Center.

Okay, so we figure out the M .O. Well, the M .O. is there is no M .O.

Siler's victims are random.

Eight deaths, I have no clue how to explain.

Trust me, this one's number nine. Yeah, but there's nothing out of the ordinary

here, right? Doesn't this guy look like any other burn victim?

He's putting out 1 ,800 carries of radiation.

Whoa.

The hazmat team scoured the scene but didn't find any incendiaries. No

plutonium, no uranium, nothing.

They did, however, find a fingerprint.

Seared to the bone like a brand.

Seared to the bone?

We're running it through CODIS.

Now, if we get a match and we can get close to him, I'm going to need you to

inside his head.

Pick him out of a crowd, find him in a building. Right, about that.

Lately, it's been harder for me to filter the voices.

And hearing what they're really thinking, it can be ugly.

What's going on, Matt?

Theodore Sprague, a .k .a. Siler.

We got you.

So you're just going to sit there all day and not say a word, huh?

I want to go home.

Like I told you, not stay there with your mother.

Is she dead?

No.

She's going to be fine.

How do you know?

Dad, we left her on the floor. We didn't have a choice.

Heroes don't run away.

Micah. Bad guys do.

Heroes help people, Dad.

You know what?

You're a bad guy.

I'm not a bad guy, all right?

Do you remember when I told you that six months ago I started having these bad

dreams? We all have bad dreams, Nikki.

I think that they were just dreams.

When I started, I thought that maybe somebody was following me or something.

And I would catch a reflection, but

it wasn't my reflection.

It was another me.

She has a name.

Jessica.

When someone tries to hurt me, it's like she comes out. There is no Jessica.

It's just you.

No, I see her in the mirror.

And she tells me that she wants to come out again.

And the part of me that needs Micah back wants to let her do it.

It's a bit complicated with your mom and me.

the bed.

You take my order.

Mate, we got to get out.

We got to get out of there.

You know I, I help.

I wish I had super power.

What happened?

I don't know.

We're usually in our pajamas around the breakfast table. You can't blame us for

cleaning up for the journal? Not when the hollandaise is made fresh.

You seem to be adjusting well.

To the wheelchair.

You could say it, Mr. Dennison. I lost my right to be sensitive when I married

Nathan.

I'm not saying I didn't have my darker moments during rehabilitation.

I was angry for a long time.

How's your husband?

Wasn't he driving?

At God.

But we seem to have made our peace.

Hello, Peter.

What's this?

It's brunch.

We always have brunch.

Since when?

Will you excuse me?

Peter.

How good to see you.

I see you to drop by, Peter.

Whatever this is about.

Now is not the time.

Charles the Boat died this morning.

Yeah. I'm sorry. Are you there? No, I wasn't.

I stopped working for him so I could figure out what was going on with us. I

told you to drop all this special crap. I can't, all right? I need your help.

That man out there, Oliver Dennison, he's working for the journal doing a

on me. Everything I've worked for is riding on our family and being able to

through a single meal together and smile together. So I'm not family enough for

you now? No, you're not.

Not when you're going to ruin an election for me.

I just... I need you to get me a painting, all right? Linderman Ball.

whoa, hold on. exactly advertising that family connection around again. All

right, Chris, we'll just get him on the phone and ask about the painting.

I'm sorry.

Hey, you know what? I'm just gonna fly off the terrace. Yeah?

No? Hey, I can fly.

Hey, then so can you.

Tell you what.

Why don't you just race around the Statue of Liberty real quick, huh? Give

Tweety guy something to write about.

He wouldn't.

Nathan gave me an earful about showing up in cords.

I told him I'm trying to stay grounded.

Good to have you back.

How'd you get this?

The issue isn't even out yet.

See?

All the same.

And even same car, Nissan Versa.

I teleported New York City.

I freeze time, too.

Stop the explosion. Save your dad.

Hey, didn't you visit my mom?

We should get them to the hospital.

Can you drive?

Don't worry.

Help is coming. I'll call the police.

Come on, Micah.

Dad, you saved her. Like a real hero.

Now we can go back and save Mom.

I wish it were that easy.

Well, it is, Dad. We just go back.

No, Micah.

It's not.

Sorry. We can't go back.

We can never go back.

Bye

-bye.

Take care.

Give me the damn tape.

I'm gonna put this thing on YouTube. Make like a million bucks.

YouTube's free, you idiot.

You're not helping.

Lyle, no one can see what's on that tape.

Are you an alien or something?

Is he an alien too?

Yeah, yeah, we're gonna... We're gonna anal probe you.

Zach! Stop scaring him.

I'm not coming out until Mom and Dad get home.

No, no, no, no, no. You cannot tell them.

Lyle, please.

They cannot...

Find out about this.

Why not? Don't you get it?

If they found out, Mom and Dad would think it was a mistake to ever adopt me.

We wouldn't be a family anymore.

Whatever.

Ah!

Wait a minute.

Wait a second. We're going in here without backup?

No one even knows we're here, do they?

What is this all about with you?

You in my head, Parkman?

No, I'm just... I'm asking a question.

Vote, Tyler.

I'm not letting him get away this time.

I'm taking him down.

Something's burning.

Radiation? Carry levels are safe.

Hang on, I'm getting some spikes.

Hey.

Check this out.

What the hell happened in here?

1 ,800 theories of radiation.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Of course I'm going to vote for Nathan.

Yep.

Nathan takes care of the people. Half as much as he takes care of his brother.

It's going to be an interesting city.

Pretty special family.

You have no idea.

This is all very inspiring.

I was surprised to learn the Lindemann Group recently invested in your

I don't know why you'd be surprised. Mr. Lindemann was a good friend of my

father. So you don't deny going to Las Vegas to meet with a reputed mobster.

And why are you here? I spoke with a former member of your security detail.

seems there was a bit of a scare that you disappeared from the casino for

several hours and there was a blonde involved.

It's all right, Nathan.

You can tell him.

All right.

I'm sure you've recently heard about my mental health issues.

I quit my job because of it.

My brother basically saved my life, and he's convinced me to get the help that I

needed.

There's a private clinic outside Vegas.

Nathan went, spoke to a doctor, a woman doctor.

I made him promise that no one would know, not even the family.

But I just don't care who knows anymore.

I didn't want to say anything until I cleared it with you.

That's Nathan.

Now, right in the middle of an election, he still has time to help out his

messed up little brother.

What's this? They counteract radiation poisoning.

Oh, thanks.

One second.

Who keeps calling you?

Uh, nobody. It's my wife.

Since one is your wife, nobody.

Listen, I don't think this guy's silent.

Yeah?

Well, we'll see.

Look what I found in the bedroom. Look at this.

Methotrexate. This is chemotherapy in a pill.

It's prescribed to Karen's rag, and it's current.

She has cancer? Check out the doctor on the label.

Dr. Robert Fresco. Right. The oncologist.

Karen Sprague's room.

Take

it

easy, Ted.

I just want to ask you some questions.

I didn't mean to kill him.

Dr. Fresco said there was nothing he could do to save her.

But I tried to convince him, you know, there must be something else that he

could do.

Anything.

And we argued.

And we can talk about this downtown.

Hey, let her go. If you let me stay with my wife. No, you let her go or I shoot.

Do you have any idea what would happen if you did that? Because I don't.

Maybe I'll explode. Maybe I'll take out this whole hospital. Maybe I'll wipe out

this city like an atomic bomb.

Leave me alone.

You can't do that.

Stop, Ted.

Karen wants you to stop.

She says you need to listen. Ted, you never listen. You're too damn stubborn.

But you're still her teddy bear.

He's telling the truth, Ted.

Listen to him.

She doesn't blame you for all the pain, the worry.

She's saying it's not your fault, Ted.

She shouldn't be here.

It's not fair.

She's saying it never is.

She said that was the best day, the picnic on the beach, and it poured

and sheets of rain.

We sat in my car and listened to the whole American Beauty album.

She remembers it all.

She always will.

This is Nikki Sanders from Las Vegas.

I need your help.

I know that I'm probably the last person that you want to talk to.

You should not have called me here.

I know that I have no right to.

But I need your help.

My husband took my son.

I have nowhere else to go.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

You have the wrong number.

Hey, hon.

Where are the boys?

In the playroom.

Do you still love me, Nathan?

Of course I do.

I know what this chair means to us.

As a couple.

But I need you to know that I'm going to walk again.

The doctor said it's a long shot.

But I can do it.

If I have a reason.

We just need some hope, Nathan.

That our life can be like it was.

What Peter said about you checking out a clinic for him with a doctor.

Tell me that's what happened.

If you say it is, I'll believe you.

Just give me some help.

You should just go.

Nikki, what's going on here? Are you okay?

I said that you can go now.

It's me.

I'm just trying to help you out, girl, okay?

She doesn't need your help anymore.

Understand?

So they're going to run Sprague through decontamination and then put him in a

special holding tank downtown.

How did he cause all that damage with his bare hands?

How do you hear what people are thinking?

You did a great job in there.

Well, look, the guy was losing his wife. He just wanted to talk to her, say

goodbye.

You talked to your own wife yet?

You've been dodging her call all day.

Well, I'm going to head downtown, cover Sprague's processing.

Right.

Hey,

it's me. I actually thought you might be home by now.

I'm calling just to talk.

Look, I have this stupid idea in my head that I'm losing you.

And I...

I just, I can't help but have the feeling that there's something you're

telling me.

And I don't want us to live with any regret or blame.

I don't know. I guess I'm just afraid of things going unsaid.

I love you.

And I just wanted to tell you that.

You don't have to call me back. I'll see you later tonight.

Yes, Mr. Linderman.

It seems my brother's developed some sort of emotional attachment to this

painting.

I don't know what'll happen to him if he doesn't get it, but I'd rather not find

out.

Directly to the gallery.

Mr. Linderman, I appreciate it.

Good night.

You need to tell Heidi the truth.

No.

She doesn't need the truth. She needs hope.

Is that some kind of excuse?

I'm not saying what I did was right.

That girl in Vegas, I just needed to be with someone who... didn't make me feel

guilty every time I looked at her.

Did you... did you talk to Letterman?

Yeah. Sit down.

And?

He's not going to let it go.

Hey, come on. Just let it go.

It's just a painting. It's more than that, Nathan. This is about what's going

with us.

All right?

Painting is the key.

All right? We can make a difference.

I'm trying to make a difference, Peter, the best way I know how. Flying around,

how is that going to help anybody?

What am I going to do when I get there? I don't have a gun. I don't have a

badge. I don't know karate.

I guess I could put on a costume and fly around and pull cats out of trees.

That's not going to make a difference.

You're not going to know until you try.

I'm sorry about the painting.

Listen, something else happened in Vegas that I... What?

These two guys, they tried to pull me out of my hotel room. They did.

It was like a kidnapping attempt or something.

How'd she get away?

I flew.

So who were they? When he did all the talking, he had these warm -room

The other guy was a spooky Euro dude. He didn't say a word.

You really expect me to believe that?

Yeah.

I'm not lying to you.

No? No. Think about it. What would people do if they knew what we were

of?

They'd lock us up and they'd throw away the key.

Sounds crazy.

Be careful.

Someone had a good day.

It's all over the station. FBI bus, Homeland Security collar. Congrats,

Thanks, man.

It really wasn't anything, though. It must have been something.

Your FBI girlfriend just put in a request for you to retake the

as a series of interviews.

Can't blame it on the dyslexia this time. Wait a second.

Interviews? I didn't even know that was an option.

She's FBI. She pulls some strings.

And you are going to pass it. No problem.

Thanks, man.

Wow. Loser, loser.

I'm nailing your wife and she is so fine. So fine.

Hey, still want to grab that drink?

Do not choose your destiny.

It chooses you.

And those who knew you before fate took you by the hand cannot understand the

depth of the changes inside.

Yeah? Mom.

Micah.

Hey, baby, I've been worried.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you?

I'm good.

Are you with your dad right now?

Uh, yeah, I just got out for one minute.

Mom, is this really you?

Tell me where you are, baby.

Just put my mom on the phone.

Your mom's not here right now.

She's not coming back until I take care of a few things.

So why don't you tell me where you are.

I'll come get you and bring you home.

Your mom needs you.

I'm in a little motel.

It's right off the Interstate 14.

It's called the Littlefield Motel.

You talking to your mom?

No.

No, I'm just goofing around.

Get some driving to do. They cannot fathom how much you stand to lose and

failure. Micah?

That you are the instrument of a flawless design.

And all of life may hang in the balance.

A hero learns quickly who can comprehend.
