Original subtitles

Actually,

he's my biological padre.

So? The plan?

The plan is to keep you safe.

I was exposed, so that three -pass I had for you went away, but even Danko's

reach doesn't extend south of the border.

Yet.

And what about everyone else?

I'll make some calls.

Put some things in motion.

All right, well, we also got to eat.

There's a cantina down the way. Can I buy you a taco?

With, uh, what money?

I'll think of something.

I think I'm just gonna go for a walk.

Now, look, it's probably best that we stick together, okay?

It's for your own safety.

I'll be careful, I promise.

All right, look, I'll meet you at the cantina, okay?

Don't be...

I think we're clear.

My very own guardian angel.

You're a good son, Peter.

That's not why I saved you. I want answers.

You think I've got them?

You always know more than you let on.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I need to find some answers for myself right

now. That's why I had you bring me here.

This is where I'm supposed to be.

So, tell me exactly what happened.

We were moving in to apprehend this guy.

Agents Whitman, Price, and Holiday went in. I watched the hallway.

Then I heard three gunshots.

I ran in as fast as I could, and I found them.

Like this.

And you didn't see anyone?

No, sir.

Nothing, huh?

I'm sorry, sir.

Back to HQ.

Get cleaned up.

What are you thinking?

No sign of a scuffle. One bullet each in the back. Who's their intended target?

James Martin, 32.

High school geometry teacher.

Amateur fly fisher.

Bio doesn't exactly read trained assassin.

What's Martin's ability?

Unknown. His DNA was in the national database. Set off a red flag.

We're doing that now.

Are you going to lecture me about civil liberties?

No.

It's about sending your men in blind.

Unknown means Martin could be anything. He could be a telepath, a teleporter, an

invisible man. Each one requires a different tactic.

My order is to take them all in.

You're so desperate to chalk up a win you're cutting corners, is that it?

Let's not forget you're Nathan Petrelli's boy.

Your last crusade was to catch this rebel, and you didn't catch him, did

You need to wait out a lot more than I do.

As I walk along, I wonder what went wrong with our

love, a love that was so strong. I love this song.

Oh, quite a bloodbath in there, isn't it? Did you get my gifts?

The taxidermied bunny and the near -dead puppeteer?

You shouldn't have. It's an overture toward collaboration, since we both want

the same thing.

And what's that again?

Killing people like me.

I think we should pull our resources.

What's in it for you?

Let's just say you fascinate me.

And you're in way over your head in there.

I can help you.

If you want.

I can find the guy who killed your agents.

I want eyes on every road, every terminal, air, buttons, roadblock. This

isn't a drill, people. Three of our own died, and they will not die in vain.

Not on my watch.

Not on yours.

Remember your training.

Remember Agents Whitman, Price, and Holiday, and their family.

And remember, we don't sleep.

Until this son of a bitch is caught.

Any questions?

Nice speech.

We need to wait.

You know, 20 years experience for these people.

And I need a plan.

And I don't want to hear one of us, one of them.

Then I won't say it.

But it got the job done.

The very same tactics that you used on all those counterinsurgency programs you

ran from a van to Kabul.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, right.

Okay. Well, if you did know what I was talking about, then you understand the

value of co -opting the native population.

Working the enemy.

A little focused manipulation goes a long way.

How could you work with these people?

You said anything about trust? They're assets.

Weapons. To be mobilized.

Motivate them.

Greed, revenge, love, hate, whatever it takes to make the collar.

Speaking of which... I have reason to believe that Styler is

here. In D .C.

This could be the win that we both need.

Or it could be another chapter in the big book of you letting him slip through

your fingers.

No, I, uh... I've got another assignment for you.

Where did you get that?

I sold my kidney.

Actually, both of them.

Twice.

I found a pawn shop down the street.

Sold the necklace my dad gave me.

My other dad.

You didn't have to do that.

I didn't want to, but he's Mr.

Survival Skills, and if he knew we were to pinch and I didn't spell it, he'd be

mad. I expect he would. It's a nice gesture, but I got everything under

This isn't exactly as simple.

Situation here.

It seems simple to me.

Government agents are out there hunting innocent people, and they're going to

keep going until you tell them to stop what you started?

Would it kill you to show me just a little bit of gratitude?

For what? For what?

For giving you a free pass?

For risking my neck to save your life in a result of a pick one?

Either one.

Just common courtesy, Claire.

Why did you give me a free pass?

I had my reasons.

Be back.

What are you going to do with it?

Turn it into more.

Gentlemen.

The mass is ended.

May you go forth in peace and love and serve the Lord.

You think sanctuary's going to stop agents from coming?

I can't sleep, Peter.

To find where we should go, what we should do, I need to dream, and to dream

need to sleep, and I can't. I haven't. Not for a long time.

Take a pill.

It doesn't work.

For the dreams to come, the ones that matter, sleep has to be natural. It has

be earned.

Earned.

I always found her. Peace here.

My father and I were married in this church.

We walked down this aisle.

Your first communion.

Even Nana's funeral.

You're probably too young to remember, but you held my hand.

There used to be love in this family once.

Look at us now.

It's all my fault.

You come here to be forgiven?

I'm not sure even God has that in him.

Boys want to make this a little more interesting.

What do you have in mind?

A hundred hours ahead.

Last man standing takes it all.

Listen, I can do this.

I used to do this scraping for shore leave money in the Philippines. All

I'm good at it.

Go for it.

All right, boys.

Line them up.

Got a lot.

Jenkins.

Sir. I wanted to check in and see if there was anything else I can do.

No.

Just try to get some rest.

I wanted to tell you that what you said earlier about the guys...

It was inspirational.

I wish I had your strength.

Hello?

Special delivery.

Where the hell did you get any of that?

Well, you'd be amazed what you can do with a lifted ID badge, a $4 tie, and a

West Baltimore accent.

But you've got much bigger problems.

Done some homework about that killer of yours.

I don't need your help.

Well, I just found some evidence for the contrary.

There's another body. He's bashed it. You missed it. I found it, of course.

You're lying.

Look in the box.

And what's in the box?

Your answer?

How James Martin was able to shoot your men in the back so easily, it's because

of what he can do.

He's a shapeshifter.

Just around the northeast corner.

Hey, hey, I didn't do anything.

Take him in.

Sopping wet.

I found this one in the bins. It looked like something you'd wear.

It should. It's mine.

I made a donation last week.

It's supposed to go to someone who needs it.

You need it. Come on.

Didn't know you were still so active.

I give them things.

Not devotion.

Not myself.

Not the same.

It's like with you and your brother.

Your father and I supported you, but we didn't give you support.

I'm sure you did. Oh, Peter.

There were times when you were growing up, you were so confused.

You were so desperate for answers, and I could have told you the truth.

I could have given you comfort.

I didn't.

You must hate me.

Look, whatever's happened, you're still my mother.

I'm afraid that unconditional love isn't really love at all.

Hey, why don't we just call it a draw?

You guys don't look so good.

Nonsense. You don't have to do this, you know.

Yeah, I do.

We need the money, don't we?

That's right.

Your dad's not the only one who can... Your other dad?

He's not the only one who can do stuff, you know.

Yeah.

You better get your old man off to bed.

We need a rematch.

Huh? How about a rematch?

Oh, no, man. I beat him fair and square.

Come on. What about winning a little bit more?

What do you have in mind?

What about this watch?

It's a pretty nice watch, huh?

It's a really nice watch, but... I'm like...

22 shots deep.

And you're a little bit late for the party.

Better catch up, huh?

I can get the drop on someone.

You've been waiting here for me.

Your M .O. is predictable enough.

You desperately want to find Martin so you can get that ability, don't you?

I have plenty of powers.

But this is different.

Shapeshifting.

You're salivating.

I read your profile.

Don't you like to take on accents?

Affectations.

Like characters.

It's fun.

It's sad.

You're so desperate to be someone else.

You want out?

You have no idea what I want.

Shapeshifting.

It's your escape hatch.

Of course, I could save you the trouble.

And it all for you.

Right now.

The part of my brain that you'd need to hit to kill me.

It's microscopic.

Oh, a pretty good shot.

It's not that simple.

I also got to jam something in there, right?

To make it stick.

Yeah.

You've clearly thought all of this through, haven't you? Except for the

where you can't catch your guy without my help.

You're all the one I need, white whale.

Maybe.

I'm the goose who lays the golden egg.

I can round them all up.

Suggesting that I can't?

You chased a shapeshifter.

You don't chase a shapeshifter.

I'm just one photo on that board. Just one.

But I could help you.

Find them all.

Then you can take your shot.

I asked to be extraordinary.

And I promised I'd make the world a better place.

So when I got my chance, I lived up to my end of the bargain.

For what?

I'm running for my life.

A lot of people are running for their lives.

They're hurt and they're dying and I can't help them.

Do you even care what you put people through?

When they kneel here before you and they ask for help, do

you even listen?

And I'm tired of fighting.

And I'm angry.

I'm angry at my father, Nathan, and my mother.

At you.

We had a deal.

I think it's about time you lived up to your rent.

We just...

Show up.

Excuse me.

What do you people think you're doing?

Sit down, sir.

Sir, we have reason to believe the church is harboring fugitives.

Chain the doors. No one gets in or out. You understand?

Yes, sir.

This

is

a waste of time. Martin's halfway across the country by now.

No, he's not.

He hasn't left the city.

He had his chance and he didn't take it. He should have visited Jenkins right

under your nose.

Yeah, why would he do that?

Martin's only human.

We all crave routine. We just need to find his.

You got some special power for that?

I do.

But I don't need it.

You can tell everything about a person from their belongings.

I thought you'd be better at this.

Why's that?

Because you're a shapeshifter, too.

I've been to your apartment. You got no books, no art, no keepsakes, no

correspondence, nothing to define you.

This is the part where you get under my skin.

That's in your file. It must be very hollow and boring.

Not like Martin's closet.

I've never seen so many costumes.

It's not like you called for a geometry teacher to wear an Armani suit.

Or scrubs.

Or this.

It's fractured.

Disjointed.

He's trying on personalities like clothes.

Has he made a choice? Not yet.

Like all of us, he's still looking.

What's the common denominator here?

Lawyer, doctor, priest?

Power.

These roles give Martin something he could never find in real life.

Why? Why does anybody want power?

To screw with people?

Or to simply screw people?

Tell me what you notice about all those pictures.

Martin isn't in any of them.

Boy, these are all Martin.

Different men of power with different women of allure.

It's a cliche for a reason, and it's Martin's routine.

Where is he?

Where he goes every night, looking to fall in love.

Hey.

What are you, like a buck pen?

That's none of your business.

I'm saying, man, don't even look drunk.

I think that you are just jealous that I caught up.

Yeah, after I put your little band to sleep.

Oh, please, that's not her.

He tends to bite off more than he can chew.

He's pretty slick, but he seems like a good guy.

He wants to be.

Pretty tough.

Swooping in and taking me off to Mexico thinking that's all he has to do. I get

it. My parents are divorced, too.

No, not like that.

I just wish he would take off his armor, shining or otherwise, and just act like

a normal human being.

If anything is okay, just listen to me.

I was just like you.

My head in the clouds, full of hope.

I was going to be a teacher.

And then my power manifested and the dreams came.

Visions of a bloody future, of deceit and death, the apocalypse.

And when I awoke, I tried to warn everyone, but no one would listen. Why

they? Why should they? I would...

And I

did it with

lies and with manipulation and betrayal.

All clear.

I suppose that fits the pattern, a position of power, authority,

I think you'll recognize him.

Remember what happened last time you chased him.

What's he up to?

Why me?

He's after power.

You think that's something you have?

Trying to convert the power into love.

He's doing a pretty good job of it, too.

He's a better you than you.

There you go.

You should never, ever fly in that condition.

How are you not... The whole tissue regeneration thing, I think it includes

liver tissue.

What?

I know.

I'm so sorry, Claire.

Me? Yeah.

Oh, man.

Whoa. Okay.

I really must stop doing this. All right. It's fine.

All right.

You know what I did when I found out about you?

I did what I always do.

He denied there was a problem, just like I'm doing right now.

You know, we should probably have this conversation in the morning. The truth

is, Claire, I get a pit in my stomach every time I think of you.

It was just so stupid the way I handled it.

You know, I thought if I kept my distance, when the time was right, we

catch up.

But look at you.

I missed my chance. You're all grown up.

Hardly.

I don't know why I gave you a free pass.

Because I thought in one move, I could win you over.

Look at me. Look at me right now. I'm using you as an excuse to hide behind

mess that I... You know what?

I know everybody's counting on me to fix it.

And I want to try.

I'm going to do it for everybody.

Peter, my mom.

awesome.

Me too.

It's gone.

For goodness' sake.

Let's go.

Can you do it without leaving?

You really bailed me out with those kids last night. I appreciate it.

That's what family's for, right?

So what's the plan? Are we going straight to Washington?

No.

Look, I didn't make any calls to anybody.

I don't really have any friends on the Hill at the moment.

But last night you said that you would fix everything.

I was drunk.

I'm sorry if I got your hopes up.

There's got to be something that you can do. I'm wide open if you got any ideas.

Claire, I overreached.

I screwed up.

And now it's just way beyond my control.

Some things are bigger than one man.

You know what?

Over the years, I couldn't help but think about my real

dad.

Who you were.

What you looked like.

Your job.

And then I met you.

And you were more amazing than anything I could have ever imagined.

I mean, it's just a fantasy.

No.

No, it doesn't have to be.

You can do anything you want.

You feeling better?

I slept.

And I had a dream.

What about?

That.

Or should I say, her.

I know what we have to do now.

First, we need to go find Nathan and Claire. We need to bring this family

together.

And then we need to go visit my sister.

Sister.

Sister.

It's where you're headed anyway.

There's a quarter path there to the San Diego.

What time is it?

I got nothing.

What happened to your watch?

I'm heading back up, you know.

Good.

Coming? In this pretty old heart of the city Where the sun refused

to shine People tell me it ain't no use in trying

My little girl, you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true.

You're going to die before your time is due.

Be my daddy in bed and die.

See his hair turning gray.

He's been working and saving his life away.

I know.

Things will

kill

you. How did that feel?

Zipping up that body bag.

lot easier for us to operate.

Everybody thinks I'm dead.

If we do this, we succeed.

You'd be the only one there.

It's funny how that works.
