Previously on Heroes. You can never change the past.

It's bad.

Always. Everything is connected.

If you want to change one thing, it's all you do.

I've come back in time to save Charlie.

And this time, I will defeat the brain man.

Something I want you to see.

So magical, so beautiful.

Just let me show you. That's all. If you're still unhappy, I'll take you

back to California. Did they really think they were going to get away with

Forever, that we would just never find out? We shouldn't have done it. I need

time to grieve without being reminded why.

Do you want to talk about it?

About what?

Life among the carnies, the death of your father. I mean, either one of those

would be enough to mess me up.

I don't think I'd know where to start.

I think it's one of those things I just have to figure out by myself.

Listen, I'm not going to pretend to know what you're going through right now,

but I want you to know that I'm here for you if you need anything.

Anything at all.

I, uh, have this.

Review lesson thing.

I moved it to Babs Hall. I have no idea where that is.

East Quad.

Clear across campus.

Of course it is.

Excuse me.

Is this seat taken?

How's it coming?

It's ready.

Now remember, it'll only work in the hands of one of us.

Luckily, you have Hiro and Ando now.

You sure I can't change your mind?

promise to a girl.

I need to make amends.

Well, then I guess this is it.

And how nice one is it ever?

Nice, my dear.

Good luck.

You too, now.

Well, gentlemen, I guess it's up to us.

Hello,

Carl. I don't want to.

But you're dead.

Am I dead?

Ask for the judge to decide.

Judge? I'll rise.

The Honorable Judge Kaito Nakamura presiding.

Tosa. Be seated.

The world versus hero Nakamura, Your Honor. The what versus

what? Nakamura Hiro.

Excuse me, is this Professor Yano's review session?

No, study group.

What the hell are you doing here?

I came to learn.

How'd you sleep?

The dress is a gift.

If you want to change into something... A gift?

You kidnapped me.

Brought me to... I don't even know where we are because you won't tell me.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I never meant to upset you. I'll take you back home.

Straight away.

What? What are you smiling about?

Your face. Just now.

It brought me back to, uh...

When I broke your record player?

You had this one song you played over and over and over.

And I was just kidding around, but I broke the arm.

Remember? Yeah.

I remember.

Good.

Because there's something I still want you to see. The only thing I'm

in seeing is my own front door.

But first, let me get you something to eat.

And then you'll be rid of me for good, I promise.

This is how it always starts.

Breakfast becomes lunch. Lunch becomes dinner.

Dinner turns into drinks and then... I fixed your record player.

I broke it and then I fixed it.

I know what I've done wrong and I know how to make it good.

Scotch tape and wire hangers and loads of good intentions.

Then you take me home.

Good, good.

She has a brain tumor in the parotid lobe.

The doctors in Japan said it's inoperable, but... You may not have a

Please, doctor, he's my best friend. I can't... Wait here.

We'll find out with Papillon.

Please, help him.

It is our intent to prove that the defendant abused his power to bend space

time selfishly and repeatedly for his own personal gain and with a blatant

disregard. For the consequences on this base, time continue.

Let

the

record show that the defendant fails to recognize the authority of this court.

This isn't a court, it's a diner.

Perhaps your honor could enter a plea for the defendant if he refuses.

Mr.

Monroe, please call your first witness.

The prosecution calls Kimiko Nakamura.

And Ando Masahashi.

Do you know how much I would love to kill you?

Listen, I know you must hate me. You killed my father.

Nathan, it seems like a lifetime ago, but I'm a little off my game.

You're going to help me get it back.

Says who?

Says this.

Your face showing up in ink wasn't my choice.

It's destiny showing me my desire.

And you actually thought that I would... Relax.

They told me I need a connection.

A friend.

I don't want to be alone.

And somehow you're supposed to help me.

I wouldn't help you if my life depended on it.

It's not your life you should be concerned about.

Gretchen. Let's get this over with.

You don't have to hurt Gretchen.

I promise that you will see her again just as soon as you help me answer my

question. Here is what I've been thinking. You and me.

We've got a lot in common. We're both adopted.

Abandoned. By parents who didn't want us and raised by parents who didn't

understand us.

My parents understand me just fine.

Stop lying to yourself.

Both of our dads were cold -blooded killers, which is ironic because you and

cannot be killed.

I get it. Okay, we have a few arbitrary things in common. What is your point?

My point is they're not arbitrary.

They're formative.

The basic building blocks of our lives.

And we have the same blocks.

Yet here we are.

Content College co -ed.

And me.

How did we end up so different?

You want to know what the difference is?

You're a psychopath.

Mystery solved.

You think this is a game?

This is my life.

You're supposed to help me.

Or don't you care how many fillets I slice your...

Roommate in two.

If you're not going to contribute, I'll just have to take the answers from your

head.

You're going to slice my head open again?

I've evolved way beyond that. A friend, Lydia, gave me a much more precise

instrument.

She could read someone just by touching them.

See into the very depths of their soul.

Of course.

Her methods were a little hyper -erotic, but... Now what the hell?

It is college, isn't it?

The dress suits you.

I love your milkshake.

Your favorite.

Well, that was a long time ago.

How about this one?

The last time I crashed in your dorm room, we talked all night.

Among other things.

You talked about your dream home.

That was the tequila talking.

A peaceful cottage surrounded by nature and happiness.

You're such a romantic.

Actually, that's something I've admired about you.

But there comes a time when you have to realize that you're never going to have

that cottage.

Says who?

Can you honestly tell me you don't look back at our time together with a hint of

fondness?

What's your pregnancy?

Not good. I wouldn't normally do this to people.

The witness has identified Hiro Nakamura, who's clearly and selfishly

with the timeline.

On your personal scale of temporal justice, it's okay so long as no one

hurt.

Yes. That is my definition.

That's good to know.

Because I believe my next witness is here.

The tumblers.

What are you talking about?

Why I was supposed to find you. You and I are the same.

I am nothing like you.

You do exactly what I do.

You use this gift, this curse, whatever it is, to build walls.

Make it impossible to actually connect with another person.

Like Gretchen.

God, all those memory hits I got from your stuff while I was tying her up.

I have such a different context now. Everything in that room is so full of...

pauses.

What did you say?

Pauses, all these moments so ripe with subtext.

Can I borrow your book?

Cut my hand with these scissors.

All these interactions, and you still...

Can't say the one thing you really want to say to this girl.

Heck, if you keep this up, you might end up alone forever, too.

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

I think I do.

The indestructible girl who can't put herself out there to get hurt.

What? No angry retort?

You're right, you are off your game.

You just told me exactly where she is.

How many people have I killed?

Hundreds, I suppose.

And all of this because of an agreement you made with the defendant?

Yep. He told me if I saved the waitress, I could have the cheerleader and

anybody else I wanted to kill. And as long as you saved his girlfriend, you

could... Kill some more. Willy nilly. Willy nilly. Seems to me that a lot of

people were hurt as a result of Mr.

Nakamura's time tampering.

Really?

Does this look right to you?

Tell me again. Who else met their death by your hand after Hiro made this deal?

Well, there was her.

And Eden -ish.

Two primatech guards.

The melty guy.

The mechanic.

Isaac Mendez. My mother.

Some guy named Ted.

Something Ted. And so on and so on. If Hiro was acting out of nobility, perhaps

he should have stopped this vicious killer.

Before these countless murders... Sprague.

Ted Sprague. See, saving Charlie wasn't for the heroic good.

It was for the good of Hero.

No.

Romantic or not, Charlie was a good person.

He's wider.

Fair enough.

And the prosecution would like to call its final witness.

Charlie Andrews.

Oh, that's right. I forgot we can't bring Charlie in. Because this world

-improving person is lost in time.

Now tell me, how did that happen again?

I made a deal with her.

Oh, sorry.

You have to speak out.

I made a deal with the villain.

And he double -crossed me.

Prosecution rests, Your Honor.

A shake roof, wrap -around porch, a stone path leading to a lake, and

the sun glistens over the water.

How'd you remember all of that?

I have no idea.

I know all the details.

By heart, it would seem.

Hard to forget.

holding you close to me and the way you painted it made it so real

like it came from your soul like like it was you you always know the right thing

to say it's a perfect scrap of poetry in your pocket to what

And a couple of rocking chairs on the deck to watch the sunset.

A fireplace to keep us warm.

A summer breeze to keep us cool.

How do you do it?

Every single...

This is so beautiful.

How did you do this? My friends and I could do the most amazing thing.

Look, there's your dream cottage.

No more traveling now. We're making a home, a real home. For me, for you.

If you'll have me.

Damn.

You said you couldn't join a carnival.

Well, now you don't have to.

No more carriage homes. No more main homes. Just... Just that.

Away from everything. It's what you talked about.

It could be our life.

I can't live here.

But you said... I know, I know, I know. It's just that I didn't think you'd

actually... Actually do it? Yeah.

But I... I mean... This dress and the milkshake and...

All of it. This is...

A fantasy.

And I made it come true.

For you.

No, Sam.

For you.

This is your fantasy.

And it's beautiful.

And I'm happy for you.

But... My life isn't here.

But I changed everything.

Oh, darling, you did all of this for me.

Please, don't tell me this was all for me.

No, of course not.

Listen, I should get you back home.

Thank you for indulging me.

No,

it was really...

It was really nice to see you again.

Gretchen?

Gretchen?

Are you okay?

I'm fine. All things considered, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault.

You never should have gotten caught up in it.

I'm just... I'm happier here.

Then that is over.

It is over, isn't it?

No.

He's not...

Somewhere

out in the open? No, he'll be expecting that. He's trying to flush us out. How

do you know?

Because apparently I get the way he thinks.

Someone's coming!

In here.

So, Siler, huh?

These things?

Yes. Well, no. Kind of the emo apologist version.

He's had me trying to figure out what his issues are.

Seriously? How'd that go?

Pencil in the eye.

Listen, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Getting used to being all perils with Pauline.

No, not about that. Well, yeah, about that, but...

About breakfast.

About sometimes keeping you at arm's length.

That's cool.

Are you kidding?

If you don't want to... I do want to.

I just... I'm scared.

And I get afraid.

And I'm gonna get... And so I use my specialness to build these walls instead

of jumping off bridges.

I suck at metaphors, but what I'm trying to say is that... It's okay.

Really? No.

No, it's not.

This guy, Siler, he sat there and told me that we're...

Very much alike, and he's not wrong.

And I'm afraid that I'm going to end up alone for the rest of my life like him.

And I don't know how to fix it.

Do you want to talk about it?

I like to think of myself as just a girl who happens to have powers.

And it's just one thing in a list of attributes.

Loyal, friendly, regenerative.

Good skin, you know? You do have good skin.

But when you put the chips down and life gets tough,

I find that one label, that one attribute,

and I close myself off.

And no wonder Tyler's so messed up.

I can only imagine what having a bunch of...

Excuses could do to someone's humanity.

Maybe that's his answer.

In order to become human again, he has to get rid of all of his powers.

Yeah, maybe.

What the hell was that so hard?

You son of a bitch.

Where is she?

It's dinner time.

I imagine she's right where you left her.

You never took her.

Like I said, I've been having a little trouble being myself.

Gretchen?

You okay?

Yeah.

Of course I'm okay.

Well, some guy stole my backpack, but what's with you?

Nothing. I'm fine, and you're here, and you're right. Claire, you're acting

really weird.

I'm sorry. I'm really lucky to have you, and I'm sorry about this morning.

Forget it.

You know me.

Impulsive Gretchen wants to hold hands, so she does it. I know, and I love that

about you, and I want to be more like that and not be beholden to any label or

definition or who I'm supposed to be. I just... I want to hold your hand.

People are going to start to talk.

Let them talk.

Talking is good.

In fact, I could use some talking if you still have a sympathetic ear.

I, in fact, have two ears.

Masahashi -kun, call the first witness.

Masahashi -kun.

Yes.

The defense calls Hiro Nakamura as the witness.

Nakamura -san, how old do you think you are?

Really?

Ever since I was born.

Then, what do you want the most in your life?

No. No.

No.

Injection, Your Honor.

He's reciting the opening to Quantum Leap.

Please put it all together, Nakamura -kun.

I'm sorry for my decision.

Sometimes, I've had tragic consequences.

But I did everything in order to make this world a better place.

For my family.

For our friendship.

We need to shock him. Give him 200 joules.

Charging. Use Idle.

Clear.

No response.

240. Bring it up.

Charging. Clear.

Still nothing.

Not compression.

We're losing him.

Still no pulse. We're losing him.

Let's shock him again.

Charging. Clear.

I apologize for the changes I have made.

I am guilty.

If this is the end, I will break my oath of

justice.

And as a hero, I will face a proud end.

My son, you must fight.

For the sake of my honor.

Not so fast, cop.

Fight. You can do it.

Hiro will never give up.

You can do anything.

I saw you choose space.

You're a superhero, aren't you?

Me too.

Me too. I'm proud of what you've learned so much.

I thought I could beat science by fighting this fire.

No, Hiro.

There are more certain things

in the world than science.

Fate is one of them.

Didn't your mother come to pick me up?

No. She came to save you.

We gotta pause.

He's coming back.

He's rising.

Yul.

Yul!

Something wrong, sir?

Something is wrong.

Am I scaring you?

Do I look scary?

Sir, I just wanted to know. I can see how you're looking at me right now.

And I'm different?

Looking down your nose at me like I'm not good enough?

Change myself for you.

Trying to fit into your world.

Play by your rules.

From now on, you're all gonna play by mine.

Can I help you?

Hey. Hey, buddy. How are you?

I'm Gabriel, a friend of Matt's, 12th Precinct.

Oh, I'm sorry. He's not here right now.

Oh, um... Is there any way that you could tell me where he is? It's really

important that I speak with him.

Sure.

I'm sorry. We met...
