Previously on Heroes.

What was right there? There's a piece about that size that Simone has it. She

took a bunch of my paintings to sell. I need you to get me a painting, all

right? Linderman bought it.

You had a sister.

Her name was Shanti.

She was five years old when she died two years after you were born.

Who are you?

What do you want?

Mom, why don't you tell me where you are?

I'll come get you and bring you home.

Chuguma Dorema?

Here?

Charlie.

She's dead.

You.

There just happens to be a very grateful man lying in the hospital. He'd like to

thank one of you for saving his life.

It was me. I'd like to congratulate you as an honorary firefighter. You.

This girl.

The one you've painted here and here.

And there, she's my daughter. This man here, he's going to kill her tomorrow

night at her homecoming game. I need your help. I need you to paint this

painting. I've been trying. I can't. I'm not without the drugs.

We are, if anything,

Creatures of habit.

Drawn to the safety and comfort of a familiar.

Do they actually believe that pudding is a vegetable?

But what happens when the familiar becomes unsafe?

When the fear that we have been desperately trying to avoid finds us

live?

Jack,

you just killed my appetite.

Oh, look, the principal's going to post the homecoming queen announcement.

Whoopee.

Why don't you go see if you want?

What's the point?

You're a finalist, Claire, go.

Good

luck.

Kind of nervy for someone in your position to be running for homecoming

My position?

No. Mariah, you hospitalized the MVP, annihilating any hope of us actually

winning the game.

You're not deluded enough to think you're actually going to win.

No delusions. It's a popularity contest, and you've made it very clear that I am

no longer popular. It's more than a popularity contest.

Being selected homecoming season is about serving your cool. God, Claire.

I didn't think you were that shallow.

Congratulations, ladies. Make me proud.

Oh, my God.

Don't say that.

What?

I can't believe it.

I won?

You didn't tell Peter about me buying this painting, did you?

He asked me not to.

I don't care. What is it?

It's one of the theories.

The work of Isaac Mendes, the rising artist.

Peter believes Isaac can paint the future.

Is it supposed to be Peter?

I'm not sure.

But Peter thinks he needs to be there to save a cheerleader.

Union Wells High School. Yeah.

Peter thinks if he saves the cheerleader, he'll save the world.

Right.

Is that the only copy?

Yeah.

Why?

Peter's got all these ideas in his head.

Delusions of grandeur.

He thinks he's supposed to make a difference.

What are you doing?

What are you doing? No, no!

No!

Saving his life.

What?

You believe him?

Save the cheerleader, save the world?

I'm not sure what to believe anymore.

Nice!

What's the range on this?

The Concealer 320Z.

Been known to pierce body armor at 400 yards.

Military grade.

That'll work.

Don't want to see his eyes, huh?

Must really hate the guy.

No idea.

Look, my son.

Damn. You called a cop? Cops can't stop him.

But I can as long as he doesn't see it coming.

How much? Too large

We're

going hunting

You plan on keeping this up?

Don't you turn around.

I told you we can't go back. And I told you Mom needs me.

It's not safe with her.

I still love her.

No matter what she does, a part of me always will.

But your mom has changed.

Good news?

So it's going to be you and me from here on out.

Pardon?

You mean like Batman and Robin?

Yeah.

Like Batman and Robin.

Only... I ain't wearing no tights.

You can wear tights. I'm not wearing tights.

Need to hit the head?

No, I'm good.

Did you ever consider these dreams that you've been having just that?

Dreams? It's not possible. They were talking about my sister Shanti, a sister

never knew I had. As children, we absorb powerful archetypes that we bury in our

subconscious. Your parents were obviously still grieving over your

Freud would tell you the same thing. What about the boy?

The one with the poker ball?

Yes. How do you explain his picture being hidden in my father's death, huh?

He was one of them, right here in Chennai.

Sanjog Aya. My father identified the genetic marker. It says the boy can

your dreams, alter your perceptions, a kind of spirit guide.

You must have seen that file before. I have never seen this file before, and I

have had thousands of dreams in my life. These were different. They were real.

We have to find this boy.

Hey, what was so important you had me over here?

That painting you wanted.

Nathan bought it from Linderman.

Had it shipped here. It's here. Can I see it?

There.

I don't understand.

He said it was to protect you. That you're going to get yourself killed.

You saw this painting.

You can describe it to me. You really believe this, don't you? Save the

cheerleader. Save the world. For reasons I can't begin to understand.

There are people that are counting on me to do this.

I don't know if I can, but I have to try.

This doesn't make any sense.

I probably shouldn't be showing you this.

It's a digital image that came to the painting.

Is that you, Peter?

I don't know.

Maybe.

If it's you, then you're gonna die.

At 8 .12 tonight.

Don't go, Peter. I have to.

Union Wells High School is in Odessa, Texas. I took the liberty and made a

call. I'm coming in tonight.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Look, I don't know if this is going to happen.

Just come back, okay?

I will.

Hi,

this is Peter Petrelli. Is this Hiro Nakamura?

No. She will be right back.

Who is this?

I'm his friend, Ando.

Ando, right.

Okay. This is very important.

You and Hiro need to get to Odessa, Texas as soon as you can. Union Wells

School. Okay, that's where the cheerleader is.

We're in Texas already.

Midland at the Bun Toast Cafe.

It's outside the airport.

You are? That's great.

Listen, I'm going to get on a flight.

Tell Hiro that I'll be there before he knows it.

Yes, okay.

I will tell him.

Goodbye, Peter Petrelli.

It's useless.

How is that supposed to help me find Siler?

He's not a vending machine. You can't just put the jugs in and pull a lever

expect a clear response.

He's a person.

I think your emotions are impairing your judgment.

Maybe, but I'm not the only one.

When he wakes up, have him paint another.

No.

You think I'm being emotional?

Do you have any idea what we're up against?

Come here.

Oh, my God.

Tyler wants to do that to my Claire.

I will do whatever I have to do to stop him.

Isaac can't help us.

It was a mistake to do that to him.

Go to the high school.

Use the paintings as a guide. Wait for Siler. He'll have help.

When the time is right, neutralize him.

I'll keep Claire safe at home.

No, it's homecoming.

Find Siler.

Take him out.

And let me worry about Claire.

Congratulations, Claire.

Thanks so much.

I don't know that girl.

Follow to the queen.

Follow back.

Everybody who wasn't my friend is now my friend, and everybody who was my friend

isn't. Well, it's not a popularity contest. It's an unpopularity contest.

You got the freak vote.

I was?

Look, everybody who's like Jackie voted for Jackie, and everybody who isn't

voted for you. And in this school, the unpopular vastly outnumber the popular.

Made for a good campaign strategy.

You campaigned for me?

Why?

Do you think all this school spirit stuff is stupid?

I never said it was stupid.

I said it's beneath you.

But obviously it's important, so whatever.

Now you have a little piece of your old life back, okay?

Just don't start acting like a bitch again.

Look, I got this off of the internet.

It supposedly has this really big chapter on spontaneous regeneration,

I thought it might enlighten you on the whole Miracle Grove doll.

What's with you?

You're being so nice.

I've never been this nice to you. I mean, I've been nice, but I couldn't be

nicer.

Well, why don't you?

Congratulations, Claire.

Is the gay boy your date?

You should tell him. I only want to be able to wear the tiara.

What?

That is so unfair!

Hon? I've already made up my mind. You are being completely unreasonable.

Do you have any idea what it means for me to miss this game?

He'll survive.

No, listen, and you listen good. As long as you live under my roof, you will do

as I say. You may not agree, but don't think for a moment that that matters.

You are not leaving this house tonight. Is that clear?

Chris.

She's going to hate you for a long time on this one.

Let's hope so.

Micah! Micah!

What are you thinking?

Do you know how scared I was?

Now you know how it felt when you left us.

Micah, what am I supposed to do here?

Go back. She needs us.

We've discussed this.

Your mom... Dad, I know she's different, okay? I see it, too.

Something happened to her when you left. It got really bad.

Then, sometimes, she'd show up and says, Mom... She?

Jessica.

Jessica.

Dad, Mom's sick.

She can't help herself. She can't control it.

Mom, know about Jessica.

No, I don't think so.

Dad, we can't just leave her.

You still love her.

You'll help her.

I know this boy.

Wasting my afternoon because of a ridiculous dream. No one said you had to

And who's going to keep you from getting killed? This is a dangerous

neighborhood. One look at your fancy shoes and we'll both be running for our

lives. Have you seen this boy?

Come now, Mohinder.

Let's stop this nonsense.

Go back to the university. Talk about this like rational people. I am not

leaving until I find him. I know this boy.

For 500 rupees I can tell you where he is. This man is a crook. Give him

nothing.

What are you doing?

Where?

You came to me in my dream last night.

I don't come to anyone.

They come to me.

Why?

Why do they come to you?

They have questions that need answers.

I'm not sure that I have a question.

Yes, you do.

I have two parts in front of me.

You need to know which one to take.

Which one is my destiny?

You already have the answer, you see.

What is it?

When was this picture taken?

Oh, it was Charlie's birthday.

About six months ago.

Do you know him?

Hero? Sure.

He and Charlie were tight.

Please, where is he now?

I have no idea, darling.

He popped out of her life weeks ago.

I'm here to rescue you.

Let's go.

I'm grounded.

No one grounds a queen. Come on.

Yeah, tell that to my dad.

You only get to be homecoming queen once.

You know what? You've already cemented your victory in the eyes of the student

body by punching Jackie.

Plus, if you back out now, she becomes queen.

My dad would patch a fit.

It's no big deal. What? He grounds you more. He double grounds you.

Come on.

You deserve this.

I do deserve this.

And tonight, you could be my date to the dance.

Me? Sure, why not?

For a million different reasons.

Is it about what Jackie said? Because I don't care. I don't care about that. You

think I care about that?

She can call me whatever she wants. I'm not going to be embarrassed by it.

I know who I am.

I like who I am.

I like who you are. I just... I just wish that you liked who you are.

I'm finally realizing who my friends really are.

That maybe being different isn't the end of the world.

That's just who I am.

Exactly.

You gotta embrace your inner freak.

Because the only thing that you'll regret is...

denying who you really are.

Lando?

Hey, Peter Petrelli.

How are you?

I'm so sorry it took forever. I couldn't get a flight and the taxi's in this

town. We still have time. Where's Hero?

Hiro traveled back in time to rescue Charlie.

I told him it wasn't a good idea. Peter put Trelli in my car, but he insisted.

What happened to her?

She was killed.

We were sitting right here.

It happened so fast.

Next thing we know, she was dead and the killer was gone in a flash, like

Hokage.

Bogeyman.

Hiro said maybe it's the same man that is going to attack the cheerleader.

I told Hiro, too over is too risky.

But Hiro says a man who is too afraid to use power does not deserve to have

power.

I know when and I know where the cheerleader gets attacked. I have to

Is this you?

Maybe.

You have a power, right? Sort of.

Super strength?

You bend time and space like Hiro.

No, I kind of absorb.

The abilities of others.

But only when they're close.

Hmm?

Truthfully, I... When I'm by myself, I don't... I'm not really anything.

I've got less than an hour.

If it happens at 8 .12, I'll have to go.

Coming?

No.

I will wait for Hiro.

Without him, I am not really anything either.

Maybe you should wait, too. There's no time.

I have to save the cheerleader. But, Peter!

You die.

Where is she?

She's gone.

Oh, right.

I saw her and Zach skip out across the lawn ten minutes ago.

She must have climbed out her window.

Why didn't you try to stop her?

Because she's a good girl and she deserves this, you are being way too

You don't know what you've done.

If you hear from her, call me. Immediately.

You're wasting your time.

Freud would tell you the boy is merely a manifestation of your subconscious.

Haven't we already had this conversation?

No, wait.

You're wasting your time.

Freud would tell you that the boy is merely a manifestation of your

subconscious. It was more than a dream. It was real. This boy can give me the

answers I seek.

I'm your friend, Chandra, but you sound like a madman.

Well, all great thinkers were said to be madmen in their time. Darwin, Einstein,

Gandhi. Darwin was not ridiculed by his university's biology roundtable. They

weren't even listening.

You're the one who's not listening.

You think you're actually going to find these people?

Levitation, spontaneous regeneration?

Chandra, I know that Shanti's death drove you to find answers, but it is

to let go.

If you persist, on espousing this insanity in your writing and in your

classroom, they will strip you of your tenure.

It's fantastic, Father, to think that today, all around us, the evolutionary

process continues so dramatically.

Who told you to read this?

No one. I saw it on your desk, so I picked it up. You invaded my privacy,

Minder.

This was not for you to read.

I'm sorry, but I think it's extraordinary, and I want to help.

By using the Human Genome Project, we can locate these people. Not we.

You can't be part of this.

Why not? Because I don't want you to be.

I don't understand.

Darwin said, a scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, a heart

stone.

That's me, Mahinda.

It's not you.

Go home.

You have your answer.

Sorry. Sorry.

That was my fault. I wasn't looking where I was going.

Hey, do you know this girl?

Jackie Wilcox?

Uh, yeah.

Halftime show starts in about five minutes. She'll be out in the field.

She's a cheerleader.

Are you a reporter or something?

Alumni.

I'm just curious.

You know, between you and me, she's nothing special.

Just your average teenage girl.

She rushed into a fire and saved a man's life. Sounds kind of special to me.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm jealous.

She's our town hero.

Me?

I don't want too many popularity content.

Hey, it gets better.

What? Life after high school.

It's a lot better.

Will the nerviness never cease?

I thought you were grounded.

It didn't take.

As your eye.

Nothing I can't cover up.

There's something I want to say to you.

Co -captain to co -captain.

Say it.

I think you're a menace.

And I'm not just talking about you punching me over your boyfriend, the

girlfriend. I'm talking about you in general.

We used to be BFF.

What happened?

Maybe I've gained some perspective.

I'm tired of trying to be someone I'm not.

Well, you've been trying to be me since second grade. And now you're trying to

be me.

How do you figure?

Your little heroic act of pulling the guy out of the burning train car.

Wasn't your heroic act. It was mine.

No, it wasn't.

I have it on tape.

You know, a good friend of mine once said it's more important to be honest

yourself and happy than popular.

I think he got it right.

Really?

Sounds like a loser to me.

Oh, stop.

Did you hear that? Hear what?

Hello?

Stop it. You're freaking me out.

I thought I heard something. You're imagining it. Let's go.

Something's not right. No, duh. We're missing the coronation. Believe me, if

don't want to go out there and get that homecoming crown, I'm more than...

Are you okay?

Find people, find lights. He doesn't want to be seen.

What about you?

Don't worry about me. Go!

How did you do it?

Where is he?

I don't know. He ran away before he got here.

Please, go get some help, okay?

Okay. I'll be back.

Hey.

What's your name?

Peter.

I'm Claire.

Are you the one?

Saving you, did I save the world?

I don't know.

I'm just a cheerleader.

You're okay.

That was terrible, Jackie.

I know. I know.

We have to go back.

We have to go back, Peter. He saved my life. No, no, no. He'll be fine.

No, we can't leave him. We can't leave him. He almost died, but then he... We

have to go back. We have to go back. The police will take care of everything.

Look at you.

You're lucky to be alive.

It's not luck.

I still think I have to tell you.

You don't want to hurt me.

We just need to talk.

You can tell me all about yourself.

But first, go to sleep.

You need to sleep.

Put your hands on your head! What the hell?

Look at all that blood.

It's not what you think, guys.

All right, hands up.

What are you doing?

It's not me. He's getting away.

Let's go.

Stand up.

She said you turned down her job offer.

You're going back to New York?

He did it, you know.

He discovered them. His theory was right.

And that is good news, yes?

Why didn't he tell me?

He wanted you to live your own life.

So, now that you know about them, what will you do?

Find them.

Tell them who they are if they don't already know. Warn them of the dangers

face.

And who will protect you?

Next stop, Vegas.

Dad, we don't need to go back to Vegas.

Why not?

I called Mom.

I told her where we are. She's on her way.

I can get in the car.

Now, come on.

Dad, what's wrong?

We are all at our cause.

The sum of our fears.

To embrace destiny, we must inevitably face those fears and conquer them.

Whether they come from the familiar or the unknown.

My name is Hiro Nakamura.

I'm here to save your life.

Hey, Charlie.

Charlie. Oh,

that's hot. Okay, I gotta go make a wish.
