All language subtitles for Heroes - 4x04 - Acceptance

- previously on heroes...

- there's a lot of change
going on with me.

- really?

- it's like,
when i look back on my life,

It just seems like
it's not my life

I'm looking back on.

- it's a mid-life crisis.
that's all this is.

- pete, it's me again.

I have left you
three messages.

You need to call me.

Something's happening to me,

And i think
you're the only person

Who's going to understand
what it is.

- for years,
i put my job ahead of my family.

Now i'm eating
cereal for dinner,

And a strange man
is answering my wife's phone.

That's no way to live.

- so what did we win?

- a compass.

A broken compass.

- you can never change the past.
it's bad.

- if you want to change
one thing...

That's all you do.

- what if i could make it
so that danko

Wasn't interested
in you anymore?

- why do you want
to do this for me?

- maybe we're both
looking for redemption.

- i want my old life back.

I go back to my apple martinis
and overpaid lobbyists.

?seeing that
you're still here ?

?here ?

?it's not me, no ?

?it's my bad
body double ?

?i got bad
body double trouble ?

?oh no ?

?my bad body double ?

?i've got bad
body double trouble ?

?bad body double ?

?i've got bad
body double trouble ?

?oh dear ?

?my bad body double ?

?ah mm mm ?

?i've got bad
body double trouble ?

?she's trouble ?

?everywhere i go

- excuse me.

Tracy?
is that you?

- hello, governor.

I'm back.

- nathan.

- mom.

What brings you to d.c.?

You cleaning out
the garage?

- yes, as a matter of fact.

Here, come look.

Just what the doctor ordered:
a trip down memory lane.

Last we spoke,
you said something

About looking back
on your life

And it feeling
like someone else's.

Well, nathan,

This is your life.

- gee, mom, you didn't really
have to do that.

Yeah, i don't recognize
any of this stuff.

- well, of course you do.

Come on,
pick something up.

- ma, really, i got to--

- here.

Used to be
your favorite toy.

- ?midnight at the oasis ?

?send your camel to bed ?

- uncle tim
bought this for me

When we took that trip
up the coast.

I was in the back seat
of the car.

- that's when you decided

You wanted to be
a fighter pilot.

You remember?

- yeah, i remember it
like it was yesterday.

Literally.

- is there
something wrong, nathan?

- no, everything's fine.

- come on,
what happened to you?

I mean, it feels like you fell
off the face of the earth.

- it was family.
- oh.

- it was a family crisis.

It was complicated
and dramatic,

And it's behind me.

- so, you're back.

- i'm back.
and i'm looking for work.

- not anymore,
you're not.

I can use you
back in new york.

That is, if you're willing
to come work for me.

- i'd be a fool
to turn it down.

- [laughs]
terrific.

- so what's going on?

- i could use your help

To ease some legislation
through the mine fields.

You know,
cut a few corners,

Charm a few regulators.

It's right up
your alley, trace.

Right, baby?

- not a problem, governor.

- have dinner with me tonight.

We can discuss
the particulars.

- [chuckles]

- so happy to have
my tiger lady back.

[knocking]

- peter.

- hey, noah,
you got a minute?

- sure, come on in.

I thought you wanted
nothing to do with me.

- i need to show you
something.

- that's a very nice arm.

- no, it--
there was a tattoo.

Right here.
i noticed it last night.

- mystery tattoo?

- no, it was a compass.

Just like the one
that you pulled

Out of the safe deposit box.

- mystery compass tattoo.

- i know where
you're going, noah.

And i'm not seeing things.
it was there.

I thought you'd help me--

- i don't know, what are we
going to do, though, peter.

Seriously, are we going to
go on the road,

And search for
this speedy guy with the knives,

And uncover
some giant conspiracy?

- not particularly.
you want to get cut up again?

- no, i don't.

That's what i'm telling you,
i'm not up for it.

That's all.

- got it.

So what am i doing here?

Sorry to bother you, noah.

- oh, not at all.
any time.

- claire.
- what are you doing here?

- i, uh--i had to ask
your dad a question.

He was helping me
clear my head up, but...

I'm good.

I got to go.

I, uh, i got to be
at work in ten minutes.

- ten minutes?
you live in new york city.

New power?

- ask your father about it.

- just a, uh,
fishing expedition.

Doesn't amount to anything
and it's over.

Can i get you
something to eat?

A, um,
bowl of cereal?

- val,
before you put that in,

The guy didn't tell us
he was diabetic.

- pete.

I left you three messages.

- i'm so sorry, man,
i'm so sorry.

I've been slammed.
are you okay?

- yeah, i need
to talk to you.

- can it wait?
- five minutes.

- so what's up?

Whoa! when did that
start happening?

- a couple days ago.

I'm like a swiss army knife
of superpowers now.

It's a new power
every day.

- guess it runs
in the family.

- yeah, but there's
something else.

- what?

- i'm seeing things, peter.

Memories.

Images.

Memories, but they're not
my memories.

Not exactly.

I'll touch something, and...

It's freaking me out.

- uh, i've read about this.

It's called psychometrics.

It has something to do
with seeing the history

Of an object,
where it's been,

What it's experienced.

- so what i'm seeing,
it's real?

- possibly.
i don't know, why?

What are you seeing?

- you remember
kelly houston?

- kelly houston.

Before or after she ran away
and broke your heart?

- i don't think
she ran away, pete.

I just don't know.

I touched
my old baseball hat,

And i got
a flood of images

Of her and me in a pool.

I know how all of this
must sound.

But she was dead,

And there was blood
everywhere.

- you think
somebody killed her?

- i don't know.

If what i'm seeing
is real, then yeah.

What would you do?

- then you got to
find the truth.

Go by the house.

I mean, her mother
still lives there, right?

- millie?
yeah.

- okay.

You want me
to go with you?

- no, it's my mess.

I'll clean it up.

- tell me
the truth, claire.

Why are you here?

You checking up
on the old man?

- no. can't a daughter
just drop in

On her father unannounced?

I worry about you.

Since mom's gone
and the company's not around,

You just seem plan-less.

You always have a plan.

- i'm fine.

- that "fine" sounds
very unconvincing to me.

You're not fine.

You're living off of
cereal and japanese take-out.

- well, that is a good point.
tonight, i order italian.

- what about a job?

- what about it?

- well, i know
it's a down economy and all,

But i'm sure there's
something you can do.

- my particular skills aren't
really all that marketable.

- that is not true.

You were middle management
of primatech papers

For over 20 years.

- during which time,
my skills consisted of

Lying to my family,
breaking down doors,

Bagging and tagging.

- on the plus side,
you are a people person.

- [laughs]

- look.
ooh.

Lumber salesman.

Minimum five years
sales experience.

Ta-da!

- you do know
that was a cover, right?

I never actually
sold anything.

- yes, but you don't
have to admit to that.

Okay, say you're
at the interview,

And i'm the interviewer,
and you're the interviewee.

- oh, are we really--
- [clears throat]

Tell me,
mr. bennet,

What do you think
your greatest strength

As a salesman is?

- well,
if they won't buy from me,

I can always
just shoot them.

- nathan petrelli.

- millie.

- what are you doing here?

- reminiscing about kelly.

I happened to be
in the neighborhood.

Thought i'd stop by
and say hello.

- that calls for a drink.

What can i get you?

- oh, nothing.
i'm fine, thanks.

- sit down, nathan.

Nobody ever talks to me
about kelly.

Guess they figure
it's a sore subject.

Truth is,
i'm made of sturdier stuff.

So...?

- i was just going through
some old things in my office.

I started thinking
about kelly.

Got to wondering if you--

- if i'd heard from her?

Well, i wish i could say
that i have.

Wish i could say

That all this time,
she's been living

In the south of france.

That she became an artist.

That she has a daughter
named francois.

- do you ever wonder

If maybe she didn't
run away?

- to be perfectly honest,
there was a time

When i thought maybe you knew
more than you were saying.

After all,
we were away that weekend,

And you were
in town, nathan.

And i knew
that you and kelly

Had been
seeing each other.

I never told your mother,

But i hired
a private investigator.

Turns out,
you're in the clear.

Kelly, in fact,
used her credit card

To buy a one-way ticket
to london heathrow

Where she claimed
her checked baggage,

And no one has seen
or heard from her since.

- you think it's possible

Something else
might have happened, millie?

- trust me,
i've been over this ad nauseam.

Kelly was willful
and spiteful

And full of herself.

Add to that,
me not being

The most attentive
of mothers.

It's no wonder
she ran off.

I've got a hair, nail
and body sculpting thing,

And i don't
want to be late.

- i understand.

- so, you'll show
yourself out?

- of course.

Here you go.

Broke out the good stuff.

- i've already
had too much.

And my mom would kill me
if she found out.

- there's no way
she'll find out.

- you're right.

You know, my folks
won't be back until monday.

- is that an invitation?

- do you want it to be?

- i don't know.
you've been drinking.

I wouldn't want
to take advantage.

- don't be such a prude.

You want it, nathan?
come and get it.

Come on, nathan.

Come and get it.

- you better
give me that.

- come and get it.

- come here.
- no.

[gasps]

- no!

- you wanted to see me?

- millie called.

Chardonnay.

She said you came to her
asking questions about kelly.

Do you have any idea
what your trip down memory lane

Is doing
to that poor woman?

Thank you.

- kelly didn't disappear.

She died.

I was there.

What i want to know is why
i can't remember any of it.

- how would i know?

- because every time there's
a secret buried someplace,

I find you with shovel
behind your back.

- you should write
mother's day cards.

- i'm going to get
to the bottom of this,

One way or the other,
so you can tell me, or...

- fine, i took care of it.

And you don't need
to know the details.

- you made sure
i wouldn't remember anything,

Didn't you?

- you were drunk and foolish,
so, yes, i took care of it.

All of it.

I had the haitian
wipe your memory.

I disposed of her body.

I bought the plane ticket
to london.

- it was an accident.

- well, it didn't
look like one, dear.

So what would you
have me do?

Her death
would have ruined your life.

- i'm just waiting for the part
that makes any of this okay.

- i made a choice
to protect my son.

You want to vilify me
for that?

Fine, i have been vilified
for so much less.

But, please, nathan,

Don't destroy yourself
over this.

- so what, you're going to have
your old friend millie

Go on believing
that her daughter ran away

Because she was
a bad mother?

- yes, millie has made
her peace with this.

I suggest
you do the same.

I'll be in touch.

- did you forget something?

- there's something
i need to tell you, millie,

And i'm not sure
how to do it.

- you all right, nathan?

- look, i can't tell you
how i know this,

But i'm not really
sure i should.

- what are you talking about?

Say it.

- kelly didn't run away.
she died.

And i was there.
it was an accident.

And it was my fault.

- she got on a plane.

- there was no plane ticket.

She died, millie.

And the whole thing
was covered up by my...

Family.

- what kind of twisted,
pathetic game are you playing?

- i'm just trying to tell you
the truth for once.

- i think you should leave.

Please.

Go.

- i'm sorry.

- so you never
answered the question.

Greatest strength.
- greatest strength.

Well, i would have to say
that above all else,

I am a company man.

You won't find anybody

More dedicated to his job
than me.

- see, that's perfect.

What lumber company
wouldn't want to hire you?

- yup, i'm a real
people person.

- what's the matter?

- oh, i don't know.

It's just, you know,
kind of sad

When you look back
on your life

And you realize
it hasn't amounted to much.

- what are you talking about?

Your whole life has been about
trying to help people.

- has it?

'cause all i see is pain.

I shot them, cuffed them,
locked them up,

Wiped their memories,

But i don't remember
actually helping anybody.

- that's not true.

You've helped
plenty of people.

- yeah, name one.

- me.

Life changes.
we all change.

Sometimes you have to remember
who you were

To figure out
who you want to be.

- why do i suddenly feel
like you're the parent,

And i'm the kid?

- we'll take turns.
- yeah.

- so, you don't really
want to sell lumber, huh?

- nope, not at all.

- [laughs]

[phone rings]

- hiro.

- fancy meeting you here.

Am i that predictable?

- you live upstairs.

How are you?

- okay.

So what brings you
to my neighborhood?

- i got my old job back,
with governor malden.

- well, that was quick.

Good for you.

Let's celebrate.
i'll buy you a tuna roll.

- yeah, i'm not
really hungry.

- so why are you here?

- i don't know.

- you got
your life back, tracy.

And that's
what you wanted.

Isn't it?

- it just feels
like something's missing.

Something needs to change.

- well, you got
a job in government.

That's a good start.

- please, malden isn't
about helping people.

- then quit.
- i can't.

Do you know
how many people

Would kill
for my position?

- life changes, tracy.

We have to change with it.

Maybe you just
can't go home again.

Maybe you have to remember
who you were

To figure out
who you want to be.

- oh, i got to go.

I have a dinner with malden,
and i can't be late.

Thanks for the advice,
though.

- any time.

[classical music]

??

- oh, i can't tell you
how great it is

To have you back, trace.
- [laughs]

- i missed you.

- it's nice to be missed.
- yeah.

Uh, cosmo still
your drink?

One cosmo, please.

Look at us, huh?

Just like old times.

- kind of.
[chuckles]

This job...

I want it to be more.

I want to set agendas,

Help people
who can't help themselves.

- so much for small talk.

- i want a job
where i'm making

A real difference
in people's lives.

- trace, you don't have to work
so hard to impress me.

We both know
what you bring to the table.

Tell you what.

Why don't we skip dinner?

Let's go upstairs.

Make each other happy.

Just like old times.

- will you excuse me
for a moment?

- sure, yeah.
don't be long.

[water dripping]

- [whimpers]

Dear god.

- there you go.

Everything okay, baby?

- no.

No, everything's not okay.

- i don't understand.

- i wouldn't expect you to.

- hello, yes.

I'd like to speak with someone
in the homicide division.

Yeah, i'll hold.

- i've been looking for you.
what's the matter?

You are thinking
about something.

Is it the new people

That samuel's bringing
into the family?

- you think
he'd be bringing in more

If joseph was alive?

- i don't know.

It was his brother,

And he has a right
to his revenge.

- no matter what it means
for the rest of us?

- i'll tell you
what it means.

I'm the one who's left
to make all the decisions

For this family.

I'm the one that decides
which direction we travel.

- we were just
talking is all.

- come with me.

Time to find another.

- [screams]

- you know you can
tell me anything, don't you?

- of course.

- if anyone tells you
they're dissatisfied with me,

If you're dissatisfied.

- i'm not dissatisfied.

- good.

What are you doing?

Why are you
showing him to me?

- i show you
what you need to see.

- why would i need
to see bennet?

He retired.

He's no longer
interested in us.

- he may have
changed his mind.

- nathan seemed
very confused.

Wanted to make sure i heard
his side of the story.

It was upsetting

To say the least.

- well, nathan has always been
overly theatrical.

You know, i'm sure
that's why

He's drawn to
the spotlight of politics.

What exactly did he say?

- i feel so silly
telling you this.

- no, please.
he's my son.

I want to know.

- he said
that kelly was dead.

That he was with her
when she died.

I told him, "no,
she bought a ticket,

Got on a plane,
never looked back."

- millie,
i am so sorry

That he bothered you
with this.

Nathan--nathan just hasn't
been himself lately.

- you know how much
i've always cared for nathan.

- i apologize
for his behavior.

No one should have to
go through that pain twice.

- i can honestly say
i don't care anymore.

I just hope kelly's happy.

I think that's

About as close to closure
as i'm ever going to get.

[cell phone rings]
mm.

Would you excuse me
just one second?

Hello?

- the package is delivered.

- wonderful.

Thank you so much.

- something important?

- not at all.
- good.

- where were we?

- closure.

- of course.

To closure.

- to closure.
