Heroes

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.

What makes some walk a path of darkness,

While others choose the light?

Is it will?

Is it destiny?

Can we ever hope to understand the force

That shapes the soul?

For thousands of years,

My people have taken spirit walks,

Following destiny's path

Into the realms of the unconsciousness.

Okay.

I'm ready to begin my journey.

Hiro?

Hiro?

To fight evil, one must know evil.

One must journey back through time

And find that fork in the road Hiro?!

Where heroes turn one way Hiro?!

And villains turn another.

I'd like to thank all our dear friends

For coming tonight

And for helping us to celebrate.

Nathan-- the finest assistant d.A.

New york has ever known.

Peter,

Whose compassionate heart is a gift to us all.

Told you he couldn't say "nurse" out loud. All right.

But most of all,

To angela...

The love of my life.

Happy anniversary.

Cheers.

That was lovely.

Let me have a--

All right, get a room. After 41 years of marriage,

You take it where you can get it.

My king.

My queen.

Congratulations.

Thank you, daniel.

Thank you. Congratulations.

So, nathan, are the rumors true?

Excuse me?

I heard your office

Is about to launch a full-scale investigation

Into all things linderman.

Care to comment?

I'd shave my wrists.

Handcuffs chafe.

Come on. Let's get a drink. Oh.

Good one.

What do see in there, arthur?

Trouble.

Well, I'm sure I can handle the heat.

It's not you I'm worried about.

If he starts investigating, he's gonna see your hand

Behind every enterprise I've been working on

For the past 25 years.

We can't have the d.A.

Digging up skeletons.

If you fall, I fall.

Maybe you could talk to him one last time.

Convince him to back off.

When nathan digs his teeth in, he doesn't let go.

So what do we do?

Read your shakespeare.

When the son challenges the father,

Only one is left standing.

I should have one last talk with him.

I owe him that.

What happens if that doesn't take?

Well, then I'll...

Memphis, Tennessee

One year ago

And now, who's the man, yo? I'm the man.

I'm sorry, who'd you say? Who's the man?

I'm the man!

Look at this here.

Back door-- book it!

Yeah, you got it. You-- flint.

Hey! Hey, buddy!

Hey, kiss the floor!

Flint, let it go!

Hey, buddy!

I'm talking to you.

You should listen to your sister.

Run!

Flint, let's go!

Run!

Brooklyn, New York

One Year ago

My name is brian davis.

Incredible.

Can you make it go away?

Don't worry, brian.

I can fix it.

Don't worry, brian.

I can fix it.

Hello?

Make it go away, make it go away.

Are you all right?

Say something.

Forgive me.

It's okay.

Everything is gonna be okay.

No, it isn't.

One Year ago

I've done something unforgivable.

Everybody does bad things.

You think I haven't felt exactly how you're feeling right now?

Maybe if you talk about it.

Sometimes when you talk about it--

I can't.

A man had something that I wanted,

But I took it at a terrible price.

I know it seems hard to imagine,

But you're gonna get through this,

Because you're not a bad person.

You don't even know anything about me.

I know what I see--

A man who deserves a second chance.

The rope broke.

You can't tell me that's not a sign.

I don't even know your name.

Elle.

Elle.

Well, look at you, elle, just showing up out of nowhere,

Like an angel.

An angel with a broken watch.

Cute meet.

I still don't understand

Why we don't just bag and tag this guy

Like the rest of them.

For years, scientists were stumped

By the mystery of whale migration.

Such a big ocean--

How do they find each other?

And then one night in the frozen pacific,

Some enterprising biologist recorded their song

In the wild.

They don't sing in captivity.

So we've got to get the whale to sing.

What mr. Gray can do is extraordinary.

The ability to transfer power from one vessel to another

Is extremely rare.

Yeah, but how do I get him to do it?

Pie.

Nine group homes in seven years.

Four of them burned to the ground.

There's a shocker.

What's the deal?

I mean, isn't that why we're here,

So you can offer me a deal?

You have a gift, meredith,

And with gift comes opportunity.

The company would like to train you to become an agent.

It won't be easy.

It'll demand a lot of hard work.

Me, an agent?

I don't think so.

Why do you hate the company so much?

I have my reasons.

And I would ask you...

To put those reasons aside

And make the sensible decision.

That...

Or spend the rest of your life in an asbestos-lined cell.

One condition...

Promise me the company won't go after my brother.

You're not in a strong negotiating position here,

So what will it be--

Agent or prisoner?

When do I start?

Arthur?

You look spectacular.

I wish you would reconsider.

He can barely fit a dozen people in that shoe box anyway.

Arthur, it's his graduation party.

Yeah, from nursing school.

Be patient with him.

When his powers manifest, peter will become a great man.

Tell him I'm sorry I couldn't get there.

Hey, there.

Just thought I'd stop by to see if-- I tried. He won't.

Nathan, while you're here...

I really wish

You'd reconsider handing off

The linderman case to another a.D.A.

Come on, dad, we've talked about this.

I'm not asking as a lawyer. I'm asking as a father.

I'm concerned about the pressure

That your prosecuting my client will put on this family.

Don't be.

Linderman's toxic

To this family, dad.

Nothing would make me happier than to bury him

In a very deep hole for a very long time.
