I think Sylar's beginning to emerge again.

I'm part of you, Matt.

Whatever you did to me, I held on.

Now I'm inside your head.

I'm in control here, not the power.

I'm not you, you son of a bitch!

Keppler! The guy's name is Keppler.

Lives in long beach.

You're supposed to be the man with the plan, remember?

I'm not sure I'm that guy anymore.

Why's that?

Because I've lost my family, Angela.

Maybe changing your name back to Bennet

wasn't such a great idea after all.

But they say college is for reinventing yourself.

Have you ever heard of the jump, push, fall test?

All we need is a dummy

the approximate size and weight of Annie.

So where do we get our hands on a dead body?

I guess she did kill herself.

I met an empath.

You talk to him?

Didn't really get a chance.

Claire?

Claire, it's Gretchen. Open up.

Claire, we need to talk!

No, darling, this batch isn't for you.

I think...

I think I found someone to fill Joseph's shoes.

I'm going out.

Wearing that?

I draw unwanted attention being myself.

Haven't worn a suit since I was a boy.

My parents forced us to be prim,

binding us to a life of... combed hair and...

shined shoes.

And then I discovered

I could control the very earth under my feet,

and I was liberated.

I could be filthy.

Tie still feels like a damn noose around my neck.

Come here.

You don't have to leave.

You know, I could... I could do whatever you want.

No. Thank you.

It's my responsibility.

Ever since joseph died, I feel like the lights...

Don't shine as bright in here.

Feel like I'm missing a part of myself.

He was my compass.

I'm afraid of where we're going without it.

- I need it back. - I'm sorry for your loss.

But you know you cannot replace your brother.

No, you don't understand.

We have a need, and I have a candidate.

I just want to see

if he deserves a place at our table.

Do you think that you might go home

while you're out there?

No. I left that life.

I don't ever want to go back again.

- How do I look? - Like everybody else.

Hey. Are you Peter Petrelli,

the paramedic who saved that cop's life last week?

- Yeah. - That was awesome, man.

- Here. - Thanks. What's this?

You been served.

Guess you need to be more careful

when you're saving people, hero.

Aw...

You expecting somebody, Parkman?

Suspect's house is over there.

How damn long does it take a judge

to issue a warrant?

We are gonna get this guy, okay?

We're gonna find the stash, both get commendations.

It's gonna be a great day.

Just relax.

Yeah.

It's not even about that. I...

My 30-day sobriety chip.

I slipped. I used.

I'm still being haunted

by the ghost of all the crappy things I've done past,

and it got the better of me.

A.d.a.

Yeah.

Mmm.

I wish I was a ghost.

It would be so much better than this hell,

being stuck in your miserable life... ehh!

I mean, have you seen yourself eat a burrito?

Why don't you just get the hell out of here?

Well, there's only one way out.

Which is you need to figure out how to undo what you did.

Give me back my body, and I will be happy...

to leave you stewing in your mediocrity.

You're a killer. I'm a cop.

If I have to keep you trapped inside this prison

for the rest of my life...

so be it.

You really think you're up to the challenge?

Yyou got no power. None.

You're annoying as hell, yes, but ultimately... harmless.

I can just ignore you until you fade away

like a bad memory.

We'll see.

- We got the warrant. - Good.

I want you on this job.

But you're not going into that house

until I know that you'll keep it together.

I'm fine. Look.

Huh?

It's the first day of the rest of my life... right?

So I put away my ghosts and put my game face on.

- Let's go. - All right.

- Police, open up! - Ppen up!

I'll check upstairs.

Parkman.

I'm not interrupting you, am I?

I'm everywhere.

Hey. Where you going? He's in the closet.

Yeah.

Your drug dealer is in that closet.

What kind of cop doesn't check a closet?

And he has a gun.

You're done. Drop it.

Now!

Ah! Oh!

Okay!

You're welcome.

Gretchen?

I told you that...

Dad. What are you doing here?

"Hey, dad. Nice to see you.

Thanks for bringing the house-warming presents."

Hey, dad. Nice to see you.

Thanks for bringing the housewarming presents.

- You okay? - Yeah. I'm fine.

Your mother told me

about your roommate Annie committing suicide.

I should have called you. I know.

- I didn't call because... - No. No, no, no, I...

I don't want to put you on the spot.

I just wanna make sure you're all right.

I'm.. .dealing with it. I'm fine.

I know that fine. It's, uh...

It's not very convincing.

You want to try again?

It's not just the whole Annie thing, it's...

It's just an adjustment, college.

I'm adjusting.

I miss my family. I miss you.

Mom. Even Lyle.

What do you say we grab some lunch?

Spend a little time, talk.

- If you're not busy. - No.

Sounds like a plan.

- Let me just go get pretty. - You look beautiful.

I'll be just a minute.

So this is your plan?

You're just gonna avoid me?

I'm not.

Wow. You're even gonna avoid admitting you're avoiding me.

No, no, no, I'm not.

I was just busy and... and studying and...

Organic chem is a bitch.

How's, uh, art history?

So we're really not gonna talk about this?

Look... whatever it is

you thought you saw the other night,

you didn't see.

I didn't see you hurl yourself out a window

and then snap your bones back into place?

No!

No!

I mean, yes, I was... I was on the ground

and I was testing your theory, you know, jump, push, fall,

and I think Annie did commit suicide,

which is awful and... and tragic.

You don't have to lie to me.

Look, you were wrong about Annie

just like you're wrong about me.

Seriously, what are you... a vampire, an alien?

Some kind of freakish government experiment?

All right. I just have to change.

Hi, Mr. Bennet.

Who's your friend?

Oh, that's, uh, Gretchen.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, um...

would you like to join us for lunch?

Oh. That's nice.

You don't... you don't have to do that.

It would be my pleasure.

I'm pretty sure that Gretchen

has an art history assignment due tomorrow.

Isn't that right, Gretchen?

Yeah, but I finished my paper already.
