TRANSCRIPT:
==========================


MVO: To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose.

(Chandra is talking with Mohinder)

Chandra: The world needs to know about my findings, that's all that's important!

Mohinder: It is one thing to publish a book in the comfort of the university, it is another to leave

everything behind, chasing a theory that is pure fantasy!

MVO: The earth spins at 1,000 miles an hour as we desperately try to keep from being thrown off. Like the first blush of winter that signals a great migration.

(Hiro is at the diner with Charlie)

Charlie: You're sweet.

Hiro: I'm sweet!

MVO: Was there any warning of their arrival?

(Niki/Jessica has is practicing shooting)

Niki: She has a name: Jessica.

MVO: A sign, a single event that set this chain into motion?

(Peter sees himself jumping off the roof and then is with future Hiro)

Hiro: This is what you've been waiting for.

MVO: Was it a whisper in God's ear?

Hiro: Be the one we need.

MVO: Survive. Adapt. Escape.

(Scenes of Claire rescuing the man from the fire, Nathan flying and NY exploding flash by)

MVO: And if we could mark that single moment in time. That first hint of the prophecy of approaching danger...

(Mohinder in his father's apartment, and then in Sylar's apartment, and Jackie being killed)

Mohinder: I found a tape of a conversation my father had with a man named Sylar.

Sylar: Hello, Chandra, you made me this way.

(Parkman in the bar and Hiro and Ando in the diner)

MVO: Would we have done anything differently? Could it have been stopped?

Sylar: You helped me to discover my potential.

MVO: Or was the dye long ago cast? And if we could go back, alter its course, stop it from happening...Would we?

Hiro: I can go back.

Ando: Hiro.

(Hiro is in the diner with Charlie)

Hiro: My name is Hiro Nakamura! I'm here to save your life!

Sheriff: Hey, Charlie! Charlie, come on over here, and blow out the candles!

Charlie: Hold that thought, okay? I just gotta make a wish. Come on.

Hiro: Hi.

Waitress: Come on, honey!

Hiro: Please, listen. Very important.

Waitress: Say... "cheese."

(On Screen: Chapter Ten - Six Months Ago)

(A man, Sylar is in a clock shop working when Chandra enters)

Sylar: Can I help you?

Chandra: I hope so, Mr. Gray.

Sylar: I can fix it.

Chandra: My watch isn't broken.

Sylar: Actually, it is. Yeah, the self-winding coil is loose. Your watch is running two seconds slow.

Chandra: How did you know?

Sylar: Just a talent I have for the way things work... How the parts should go.

Chandra: That looks rather complicated.

Sylar: That...oh. The body's standard, but the parts, the insides, are German. 1917. I've been working on it for seven years.

Chandra: How much do I owe you?

Sylar: Oh, please. Don't worry about it. You didn't come here for the watch.

Chandra: I came to find you, Gabriel. My name is Chandra Suresh. I'm a geneticist. I have a theory about human evolution. And I believe you... are a part of it. Read it. If you'd like to talk more, I've written my phone number and address inside.

(Chandra leaves)

(Eden gets pulled over by a police officer, it's Matt)

Officer: License and registration.

Eden: Oh, this isn't my car, I kinda stole it.

Matt: Can you take off the glasses for me, please? (He sees a liquor bottle on the seat) I'm gonna have to ask you to step out of the car.

Eden: No, I don't feel like it.

Matt: That wasn't a suggestion.

Eden: Well, here's a suggestion. Why don't you go get back in your car, and eat a dozen donuts. That is what you cops like to do, right?

Matt: I said step out of the car. Now.

Eden: I think you really want to eat some donuts.

(Matt walks back to the cruiser and gets in. The Haitian is outside of Eden's car)

(Claire is in her room when Jackie enters)

Jackie: Major developments! Lori Trammel skanked her way through the entire football team!

Claire: Who told you that?

Jackie: The entire football team. Anyway, somehow she found shame and resigned. Turned in her pom-poms...

Claire: I'm in? Are you kidding?

Jackie: Claire, destiny is calling you. Come on, try it on. You can model, I'll take pictures.

We'll totally commiserate the event.

Claire: I think you mean "commemorate." And... I'll try it on later.

Jackie: Kay, most girls can't wait to get their uniforms on. I mean, except Lori Trammel. She couldn't wait to take it off.

Claire: Why do you have to be like that?

Jackie: Okay, first of all, I've earned that. And if you don't want it or this, Kristy Chan is salivating for your position.

Claire: No! I want it, I do.

Jackie: Then show it! Show me some SPIRIT!

Claire: I'm not gonna drool!

Jackie: Then prove it, Claire! Prove it!

(Claire and Jackie are fighting over the uniform when Claire falls put her hand through the glass window)

Jackie: Oh, my God.

(They are down in the kitchen with HRG examining the cut)

HRG: What were you girls doing?

Sandra: Ugh, this is gonna need stitches. I'm gonna take her to the emergency room. Jackie, honey, grab my purse. Let's go. Come on, come on, honey.

(HRG answers the ringing phone)

HRG: Hello.

Chandra: Mr. Bennett?

HRG: Yes.

Chandra: My name is Chandra Suresh. I need to speak to you about your daughter Claire.

(Hiro is in the diner with Charlie)

Hiro: No, no. I... I teleport from future. Do not go to work tomorrow.

Charlie: Hmm?

Hiro: Very, very... It wasn't raining yesterday.

Charlie: Hmm? Mm, April showers. It's been storming all week.

Hiro: April? No, no, October.

Charlie: No, April 24th. It's my birthday.

Hiro: Six months? I've got to get back. If I teleport again I could end up anywhere. Lunch for a T-Rex! I'M STUCK!

Charlie: Birthday cake?

Hiro: Happy Birthday.

(Niki is at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting)

Niki: Hi my name is Niki. And I'm an alcoholic.

Group: Hi, Niki.

Niki: I'm one year sober today.

(Tina is in the group)

Tina: Happy anniversary!

Niki: I work 60 hours a week. I stink of cigarettes. I got a kid so smart that he is flunking out of school. My husband can't find a job because no one wants to hire an ex-con. There's a leak in the roof. And I'm feeling thirsty. Feels like too much for one person.

(She sees a man sitting in the back of the room. They are outside together)

Niki: So why are you here?

Hal: I don't want another year to go by without you in my life, Nicole.

Niki: Not being in your life was never my choice. You kinda made that happen.

Hal: Look, I know how you feel about me. And Lord knows I deserve it, I was awful to you and everyone I ever met.

Niki: You weren't awful, you just weren't there. You can't be awful if you're not present. You know, I'm married now.

Hal: I heard. Look, Nicole... I would love to meet him some time. I really want to get to know

my grandson and my son-in-law. And you.

Niki: Yeah, well, I don't know if I'm ready to get to know you.

(Niki walks off)

(Peter answers the door to let Nathan and his family in)

Peter: Hey. What's going...?

Nathan: Ladies, 10 1/2.

Peter: Oh, you know, the reason I became a nurse was to wear shoes like this, thank you very much.

Nathan: Of course. Get a drink?

Peter: Yeah, it's right inside.

Heidi: I told him it wasn't funny.

Peter: I know. Hey, Mom.

Angela: Hello, sweetheart.

Peter: How are you? Come on in.

Angela: I'm good. Your father is very proud of you.

Peter: And still couldn't make it.

Angela: Well, he had a meeting. Mr. Linderman's in Atlantic City...

Peter: Listen, I did this without his blessing, and without his money. Okay? So I think it's only right that we celebrate without him.

Angela: I have always wanted a nurse in the family. We have enough lawyers.

Peter: Thanks, Mom.

Heidi: So, Peter, have you chosen a specialty?

Peter: Uh, I'm thinking of hospice care.

Heidi: Oh!

Peter: Yeah.

Nathan: Taking care of dead people?

Heidi: They're not dead. They're dying. And I think it's noble.

Peter: Thank you.

Nathan: What's the pay?

Heidi: Ugh. Honey. You know, I'm gonna go call the sitter, and when I come back... you are gonna dance with me.

Peter: What's going on?

Nathan: The DA wants me to prosecute Linderman.

Peter: Dad's biggest client.

Nathan: Mm-hmm, yeah. Well, the DA thinks Linderman's mob ties run so deep, if I can take him down, the empire crumbles.

Peter: You do that, though, Dad'll go down too.

Nathan: You used to tell him he was a criminal for protecting criminals. Here's a chance to set things straight. Take the stink off the family name...

Peter: He's still our father. No matter what he's done. You go after him, you're never going to forgive yourself. Ever.

(Heidi comes back)

Heidi: Come on, handsome.

Nathan: Hold this for me, will you?

Peter: Yep.

Nathan: May I?

(Sylar enters Chandra's apartment)

Sylar: So...what? You're gonna cut me open?

Chandra: I'd like to run some tests. EEG, EKG, nothing invasive. A friend at Columbia has access to an MRI.

Sylar: Mapping the brain.

Chandra: Measuring alpha waves, resting rates, neuron clusters. The brain controls every human action, voluntary or involuntary. Every breath, every heartbeat, every emotion. If the...soul exists, scientifically speaking, it exists in the brain.

Sylar: When I was a kid... I used to wish some stranger would come and tell me my family wasn't really my family. They weren't bad people, they were just... insignificant. And I wanted to be different. Special. I wanted to change. A new name, a new life. The watchmaker's son... became a watchmaker. It is so futile. And I wanted to be... important.

Chandra: You are important, Gabriel.

Sylar: What do you think my abilities might be?

(Eden is at the paper factory with HRG. She is tied up. The Haitian is standing in the background.)

HRG: Grand theft auto, larceny, robbery, arson, and suspected of murder in Oklahoma.

That's no way for a young lady to behave, now is it? You need a goal, Hayden. A purpose.

Eden: Let me go. Now!

HRG: You know... with your ability, you can get anything you want. Created your own morality.

There's no person in the world that could say no to you. Now there is.

(Ando is at his desk in Japan when the phone rings)

Secretary: Yamagato Industries.

Hiro: (In United States) Ando Masahashi, please. Ando I need your help...

Hiro: (In Japan) Sorry, Ando is sick. This is Hiro Nakamura. May I help you?

Hiro: (In United States) Great Scott.

(Matt is stopped on the side of the road eating donuts)

Officer: Matt. What are you doing?

Matt: What?

Officer: What are you doing sitting here? Detective test is in an hour.

Matt: Right.

Officer: Oh, you're not chickening out, are you?

Matt: No! No, man, of course not.

Officer: All right, good, 'cause second time's the charm for you, I can feel it. Just don't go being a nervous wreck this time, okay? What's up with the donut?

Matt: Uh...

Officer: Dude, you're like a walking cliché.

Matt: Yeah, well, you know what? After today, I am gonna be a different man.

Officer: Confidence! I like that.

Matt: Right? Let's go crush it.

(Hiro is at the diner busing tables with Charlie)

Hiro: Hello, what's up?

Charlie: Hey. Oh, I don't know what we'd do without you, Hiro. You have such an amazing attitude.

Hiro: I have gift for you. Happy Birthday.

Charlie: Oh... Mmm. A Japanese phrasebook. I love it. Oh, now we can understand each other better.

Hiro: Maybe you visit Japan. Very soon. Get out of Midland, far away.

Charlie: You are a kind and generous man.

Hiro: You speak Japanese very quickly.

Charlie: Lately, I've just been able to remember everything.

Hiro: You have power, big memory. It will only get stronger in the future.

Hiro: The future. Right.

Charlie: I keep forgetting that's where you come from.

Hiro: You don't believe me? I bend time and space.

Charlie: Oh, yeah, of course you do.

Waitress: Charlie, honey. Your order's up.

Charlie: Hey! Where'd these come from?

Hiro: Flower store, two blocks from here.

Charlie: Ha ha, funny. Oh. Oh, hang on, I have an order up.

Hiro: Already finished.

Charlie: Lynette! You have got to see this! Hiro's a magician!

Hiro: Oh, no, it's not a trick. You don't understand. I'm trying to save your life. A very, very bad man is going to come here and...Tomorrow, the swallow will slay the dragon.

(Niki is at a gravestone for Jessica Sanders when DL comes and sits down beside her)

DL: Having a drink with your sister?

Niki: Thinking about it. Used to be, couldn't go an hour without missing Jessica. It's important not to forget. Hal is back. He came to one of my meetings. He wants to meet you and Micah.

DL: He won't meet anybody unless you want him to.

Niki: He's got money. He could...he could help with tuition. We can get Micah into that private school.

DL: Now, you wanna have Hal over, let's have him over for dinner. We can all say a prayer for Jessica.

(Nathan and Heidi are in the car)

Nathan: My brother Peter, the hospice nurse. Can you believe it? It's just...

Heidi: Oh, it's a perfect fit. He's selfless and empathic...

Nathan: He's self-centered and righteous. Self-righteous.

Heidi: He's a hell of a lot nicer than you.

Nathan: He can afford to be. He hasn't been under as much scrutiny. My dad did what he had to do to take care of his family, and that's something that Peter is never gonna understand.

Heidi: And you do.

Nathan: It's my responsibility. It's my inherited... birthright. I didn't ask to be Dad's favorite. I never asked to be loved more than Peter, but that's just...the reality.

(A car is tailgating them)

Nathan: What does this guy want?

(The car behind them hits them. Nathan tries to get away. Heidi suddenly looks over to see that Nathan's seat is empty.)

Heidi: Nathan!

(Nathan is in the air and the car is going without him)

Nathan: Heidi!

Heidi: Nathan!

(The car crashes)

Heidi: Aah!

Nathan: Heidi!

(Peter suddenly wakes up to the phone ringing)

Peter: Hello.

(Peter runs into the hospital and finds Nathan in the waiting room)

Peter: Hey. How is she?

Nathan: She's been in surgery for ten hours. It's something with her back, her spine. I should probably call Mom. She's got the kids. It's what Heidi would do. You have your phone?

Peter: Yeah. You're not hurt?

Nathan: No. Landed 300 feet away from the wreck. Couldn't tell you how I got there. Couldn't tell you much of anything at this point.

Peter: Let me see that, let me see. Yeah, that's a bad cut. You need to lie down.

Nathan: No, not until Heidi's all right. Won't get a signal.

Peter: Do you remember the other car?

(Nathan suddenly stops)

Nathan: What?

Peter: In the accident.

Nathan: Who told you that? Who told you that?

Peter: I had a dream right before you called.

Nathan: My wife's in surgery, and you're dreaming. That's great.

Peter: There was another car, wasn't there? Nathan. Wasn't there?

Nathan: Yeah. It was Linderman's guys. Must've found out about the DA's plans. It's my fault for

even considering it.

Peter: Hey! Look at me.

Nathan: ... taking them on.

Peter: This is... this is not your fault. This is Dad's fault, okay? And you know, you know that this is not gonna end.

Nathan: If...If I agree to take the DA's case, will you give a deposition?

Peter: Hmm? Yeah.

Nathan: Against your father?

(The surgeon enters)

Surgeon: Mr. Petrelli?

Nathan: Yes?

Surgeon: Please.

(Nathan walks away with the surgeon)

(Hiro enters the diner where Charlie is waiting)T

Hiro: They did it! (He has a newspaper) See, the Swallows slay the Dragons!

Charlie: "The Tokyo Swallows defeated the Chunichi Dragons yesterday with a surprising rally

with two out in the ninth." What, what is this? Baseball?

Hiro: You read Japanese flawless. In one day. You have power. I have power too.

Charlie: Okay. So because you knew this baseball team was gonna win, I'm supposed to believe

you're from the future.

Hiro: There is an ancient Japanese tradition, origami. Folding paper.

Charlie: I read about that. Yeah, it says if a person can fold 1000 cranes, you'll be granted one wish.

Hiro: Yes.

(Hiro concentrates while Charlie looks at him likes he's insane. When he opens his eyes there are origami cranes hanging all around them)

Charlie: How did you...(Hiro hands her something)A trip to Japan?

Hiro: I don't care if you don't believe me. Just... Please tell me you'll go.

Charlie: Only one ticket?

Hiro: Just in case you said yes.

Charlie: Hai!

(Chandra and Sylar are talking. Sylar is hooked up to an EEG machine)

Chandra: Why do you repair watches, Gabriel?

Sylar: My father didn't really give me a choice.

Chandra: Yes, but why not do what you want to do? Why not change?

Sylar: You use a phrase in your book...Evolutionary imperative.

Chandra: That which we are destined to do.

Sylar: Sea turtles die on the same exact beach where they were born, lions slaughter gazelles,

spiders eat their young. They don't want to. They have to.

Chandra: Well...The good news is you're healthy.

Sylar: You mean normal? What, there's still no signs?

Chandra: No.

Sylar: Well, maybe tomorrow. We're still going to the CT scan, right?

Chandra: I think we should prepare for the possibility that I may have been wrong. You may not have a special ability.

Sylar: I am so close. I can feel it. You came to me! I am on your list!

Chandra: These tests aren't 100%.

Sylar: Don't give up on me.

Chandra: There are other opportunities I need to focus on.

(Sylar grabs some papers from a nearby table)

Sylar: What... what, these people, huh? They're important? This guy? Brian Davis,

you think he's... telekinetic? Moves things with his mind, or are you just gonna toss him aside too?

Chandra: You better leave now, Mr. Gray.

(Sylar grabs his coat and storms out)

(Outside of the building he looks at the paper in his hand then walks away. HRG is outside and gets out of his car to look at Chandra's building)

(Niki, DL and Micah are at their house with Hal)

Micah: Wow!

Niki: That's a very generous gift, Hal.

Hal: Oh, it's amortized over 10 birthdays.

DL: Hell, then, you skimped.

Micah: Thanks, Grandpa.

Hal: It's my pleasure, young man. Now, go break the internet in half, or something. (Micah walks out) If I could buy stock in that kid right now...

Niki: God, I wish his teachers saw it that way. We want to move him into a private school, it's just, you know, we're trying to figure out the details.

Hal: Details? If you're trying to ask me for something, it's already yours. It's a man's God-give right to dote on his grandson.

Niki: Thank you.

DL: It'd make a really big difference for us.

Hal: Well, you know, I feel lucky that you even let me through the door, after all the things I've done.

Niki: Stop saying that. You didn't do anything.

Hal: Why do you keep doing that?

Niki: Doing what?

Hal: You... you're only as sick as your secrets, Nicole.

Niki: I know the mantras, Hal. I've been reciting them for over a year.

Hal: Well, I guess I'll go see what the boy's up to now.

(Hal leaves the room)

DL: You are doing great.

(Hal enters the living room where Micah has taken the computer apart)

Hal: What the hell is this? You've torn the whole damned computer apart! That computer cost $2,000.

(Niki and DL enter)

Niki: Hey!

DL: What the hell you think you're doing?

Niki: You okay?

(Hal storms out)

Hal: I have no business being here.

Niki: Then why did you bother?

Hal: I owe you more than an apology could ever do.

(He hands her a check)

Niki: What am I supposed to do with this?

Hal: I don't know. Make your life easier, I don't care how, okay?

Niki: hat did you do that was so bad I can't have my father back?

Hal: You really don't remember, do you?

(Hal leaves. Niki looks in the mirror and sees two of herself)

(HRG is in Chandra's apartment)

HRG: So what's going to happen to my Claire? How is this...this genetic abnormality going to effect her?

Chandra: I don't know. It's possible nothing might ever happen. It's possible. I might be wrong.

HRG: Where did you find this picture?

Chandra: Union Wells High School website.

HRG: She's growing up so quickly now. I couldn't do anything to stop it.

Chandra: You cannot, try as you might.

HRG: You have a daughter? (Chandra nods) How old is she?

Chandra: She... was five.

HRG: I'm so sorry.

Chandra: Mutations are much like cancers or diseases, meant to eliminate a species. Shanti had a genetic anomaly, and that was the portal into my research. My hope is that no one will suffer as she did.

HRG: If you do figure this out, what happens then?

Chandra: We can change the world. Give people hope for the future. That is your daughter's destiny. I'd, um, very much like to meet her.

HRG: You can see how that might be a problem. For my family?

Chandra: Yes, of course.

HRG: Let me think on this and the best way to proceed.

Chandra: Well, I appreciate your coming, Mr. Bennett.

HRG: It was educational.

(Jessica walks into Hal's hotel room)

Hal: You do remember.

Jessica: Oh, how could I forget?

Hal: Nicole!

Jessica: Not Niki. It's me, Daddy, Jessica. (She lifts him up) The daughter that you threw beer bottles at. The daughter that you choked. The daughter that you killed.

Hal: I didn't kill anyone!

Jessica: No... It was an accident. And they left Niki with you to be your punching bag.

Hal: I came to apologize, Nicole.

Jessica: Apologize? You don't apologize to Nicole. You apologize to me. Niki doesn't remember. But I do. Someone had to be there to protect her. I remember the stink of alcohol on your breath. I took every punch, so that she wouldn't have to.

Hal: You are not Jessica.

Jessica: You have no idea who I am.

Hal: Nicole...You need help.

Jessica: You're right, she does. I thought she had learned to protect herself, but no such luck. You're going to go away, and never come back.

(Jessica takes the blank check, shoves it in his mouth and then leaves the room)

(HRG enters Claire's room where she is practicing her cheerleading moves in front of the mirror)

HRG: Cheerleading, huh?

Claire: What do you think?

HRG: I think I can't wait to go to my first game. (He giver her a teddy bear)Oh, well, you might be getting a little bit old for the bears from around the world, but...

Claire: No, I'm not.

HRG: No?

Claire: I love my bears.

HRG: Aww.

Claire: Am I a terrible person?

HRG: What are you talking about?

Claire: I wanna be a cheerleader. I mean, I've worked hard to be a cheerleader, but...Sometimes Jackie can just be a...

HRG: A bitch.

Claire: Yeah, a bitch.

HRG: No, it's your actions that make you good or bad, cheerleader or not. Let's take a look at that hand.

Claire: The pain went away, but I think it's still kinda...

(He unwraps her hand to find it completely healed)

HRG: That's healed really nicely.

(Matt enters the bedroom where Janice is waking up)

Janice: Hey, baby. You hungry? Thought I'd make some eggs...carbonara style. Does that sound good?

Matt: I didn't pass again

Janice: You studied so hard.

Matt: It's not about the answers, Jan. I know all the answers.

Janice: I don't know why you don't just tell them the truth.

Matt: Yeah, I'll just waltz in and tell them I can barely read, half the words I see backwards.

There's a good career move.

Janice: My baby.

Matt: Don't.

Janice: Come on. A little morning sex, some eggs...Everything's gonna seem so much better.

Matt: How can you wanna kiss me?

(Matt hears her thinking)

Janice: You're my hero. Don't you know that?

Janice: Hey. You are everything that I want.

Matt: Yeah, I'm your hero. I'm a hero. Look at me. 11 years, and I am still directing traffic.

(Peter is in his apartment. Nathan knocks on the door)

Peter: Hey. I'm ready to give the deposition.

Nathan: There isn't going to be one.

Peter: What are you talking about? Can't back out now, we gotta tell the DA everything. About Linderman, about Dad, all of it.

Nathan: Dad's dead. He had a heart attack this morning. Take comfort in the fact that he didn't know his sons were about to stab him in the back.

(Hiro rushes out of the diner to where Charlie is)

Hiro: Charlie! Charlie! 24-hour Samurai Film Festival at the Drafthouse in Austin!

Charlie: Austin? That's over 300 miles away.

Hiro: We can make it in time to see Yujimbo, Seven Samurai and Hidden Fortress. It'd be perfect for our trip to Japan! You still do want to go?

Charlie: Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, it's not that. It's just, um, ever since I met you... I don't know, you just, you've made me so happy.

Hiro: You make me happy too.

Charlie: Well, it's more than that. I don't let people get very close. (They both pause) There's a blood clot in my brain... inches away from an aneurysm. I'm dying.

Hiro: But... I'm supposed to save you.

Charlie: Oh, you did. You did. Before you got here, I'd decided to give up. But you have made

me feel more alive, and more full of joy than I could have ever imagined. Hiro, I love you.

(They lean in to kiss and Hiro closes his eyes. Suddenly Hiro is in Japan)

Hiro: Charlie? No... Charlie? Charlie! Charlie!

(Hiro is on the rooftop of a building where other employees are doing stretching)

Employee: Aren't you and Ando supposed to be... on vacation in America?

Hiro: I jumped. Dammit. I have to get back to her. I have to get back to Charlie.

(Hiro closes his eyes and tries to teleport but when he opens his eyes he is still in Japan)

(Sylar is in the watch shop working on a watch when the door opens)

Sylar: Can I help you?

Brian: Yeah, um, somebody called me? My name is Brian Davis.

Sylar: Yes, I called you. My name is...My name is Sylar. Gabriel Sylar.

(Sylar watches Brian use his power of telekinesis)

Sylar: It's incredible.

Brian: Can you make it go away?

Sylar: Why would you wanna do that?

Brian: I don't know what this is. Or who I might hurt. I don't want it.

Sylar: You're broken.

Brian: What?

Sylar: Suresh was right. It's so clear now. How it all works, pieces fitting together. It is in the brain.

Brian: So you can help.

Sylar: Don't worry, Brian, I can fix it. It's an evolutionary imperative.

(Sylar attacks Brian)

(HRG is talking with Eden)

HRG: Whatever bad you've done in the past, it's over. You have a rare opportunity to start again,

to rewrite the past, to do better. But if you're not interested, we could just put you back in your old life. Odds are you'd be dead in a week.

Eden: What do you want me to do?

HRG: There's a professor. Dr. Suresh. He has a list of names. You're going to get Claire Bennet's name off that list.

(Sylar is in Chandra's apartment. He moves a glass across the counter and it breaks)

Sylar: I'm sorry about the glass.

Chandra: It's just glass.

Sylar: About the other day...I should've behaved myself. I was uncalled for, I'm sorry.

Chandra: You were angry. A man can say and do the most awful things when he's angry.

Sylar: Well, I'm different now. I feel I've been given a chance to start over. A new life, new identity. New purpose.

Chandra: I came halfway around the world looking for proof, threw him out the door. No one returns my phone calls anymore. They all think I'm insane.

Sylar: I don't. These people are all out there waiting to be told that they are important. Waiting to unlock their true potential. I know it. I can feel them. We'll find them together. We are the future.

(Ando is still at the diner waiting. Suddenly Hiro enters)

Ando: Hiro. Hiro! You're okay!

Hiro: No, I'm not okay.

Ando: What are you talking about? You teleported back!

Hiro: I took the bus.

Ando: Eh?

Hiro: I teleported. Forward. Backward. But I couldn't save her. I couldn't save Charlie.

Ando: So, try again.

Hiro: It won't work. This power...it's bigger than me. I can't change the past. No matter how hard I wish. I failed.

(Mohinder is in Chandra's old office in India)

MVO: This list...

Mohinder: You found them.

(Sylar is sitting at the diner, blood is running down Charlie's face)

MVO: These people... Their future is written on their DNA.

MVO: Just as the past, it seems, is written in stone.

(Claire is bloody and looks at her dad)

Claire: I have something I have to tell you.

(Police are at the school)

MVO: Was the die cast from the very beginning?

(Peter is handcuffed by the police)

MVO: Or is it in our own hands to alter the course of destiny?

(Eden and the Haitian capture Sylar)

MVO: Of all our abilities, it is free will that truly makes us unique.

(DL runs to the car)

MVO: With it, we have a tiny, but potent, chance to deny fate.

(Jessica is looking through the rifle scope at him)

MVO: And only with it can we find our way back to being human.

(Jessica pulls the trigger)

(Hiro puts an origami crane on the shrine to Charlie)

Hiro: I loved her.
