Heroes

This is just wrong... digging up these graves.

Why is she making us do this?

Mom has her reasons,pete.

She'll share when she's ready. Give her time.

Come on,give him a chance.

Why?

Look what he's turning us into.

He knows what he's done,and he's carrying enough guilt for all of us.

But he's here,isn't he?

He needs our support.

Boy,he charmed you.

Don't worry.

It happens to all of us.

I'm gonna go talk to her.

What're we doing here,mom?

You said we came here to find your sister.

We didn't know you had a sister.

Look,we need some answers.

Mom,what happened out here?

Angela... angela and alice shaw.

Good. That's everybody.

Welcome to coyote sands.

My name is dr. Chandra suresh.

Please follow me.

Take a snack.

Playground.

The dining room. Game room.

We show movies every night.

And the best popcorn you've ever had.

You have a funny accent.

So do you.

So where are you from?

Bombay, India.

I've come a long way to meet you,to help you.

These are your quarters,and your parents are just across the quad.

DrZimmerman will show you the way.

Why do they have guns?

It's alarming,I know.

But this isn't a prison.

The guards are here for your protection.

We want to keep you safe.

Come on,let's get you settled.

I see you got the milk and cookies.

We wanted to give you the official welcome.

Welcome to crapola sands.

I'm charles deveaux.

The guy with the funny accent is daniel linderman.

And the guy with the glasses is bobby bishop.

I didn't think boys were allowed in the girls bunk.

Uh,yeah, yes, well,um,bobby here...

he...he wanted to tell you how beautiful he thought you were.

I...I did not. - What?

What,you don't think she's beautiful?

Anyway,we just wanted to say hi.

I don't like this.

I want to be with mom and dad.

We already talked about this.

It's gonna be fun.

Just like camp.

Let's get you unpacked.

There's only toys and books in here.

You said pack what I need.

You need clothes,alice.

Pants,shirts,socks.

And how many times have you read alice in wonderland?

I want to go home,banana.

And so do you.

Prom is coming.

The doctor told mom and dad that this place is going to make my nightmares go away.

No more screaming?

But what I have is genetic.

So we all need to deal with it.

The entire family.

Who snuck you out to see sleeping beauty?

And who gave jackie jacobs an indian burn when she stole your barrette?

I will always be there for you.

I promise.

But I need you to be there for me,too.

See?

Everything is going to be fine.

Mom?

My sister,my parents... they all died here.

And if we don't come together, if we don't settle our differences...

I'm afraid history's going to repeat itself.

1961...it was a different time.

Kennedy was president, and we were all patriots.

And when the government found out about us,

they told us they could cure us.

And we believed them.

And they rounded us all up, and they put us here.

What happened here?

I don't know. I was lucky I survived.

But alice,my entire family...didn't.

So why are we here,mom?

You could've told us this in a restaurant.

Why here? Why are we digging up those bodies?

I've been dreaming about my sister.

Alive.

That doesn't make sense.

But my dreams often don't. They're open to interpretation.

They...they're confusing,but I think...I think...

I have to see her for myself.

I have to find her body,find a piece of clothing,something

anything to give her a proper burial.

You should've told us about this place.

That-that you had a sister.

I didn't want you to know the pain.

Mothers are allowed to do that, I'm allowed to protect you.

You're absolutely allowed to do that,ma.

It's my nightmare,peter.

I never wanted you to know what I suffered.

I tried to forget.

We made everyone forget.

Who's "we"?

How do you think the company was formed?

It started here with a vow to never let this happen again.

We destroyed files.

Erased memories.

We blackmailed,we killed.

Anything to keep our existence secret.

And it worked... for 50 years.

Now noah and I have tried to fix this current situation,

but mr. Danko has proved resourceful.

So that's what you were trying to do.

Yes.

But you blew it.

Yeah.

The important thing is to put our secret back...

so we can all stop running,return to our lives.

It's time to go back to the old methods.

You mean erasing people's memories and killing?

It's a necessary evil.

I'm sorry what happened here,mom.

But it didn't give you the right to do the things

that you've done,and it still doesn'T.

We need you,peter.

- I need you. - Your company tore this family apart,

I'm not going to be a part of it again.

Peter!

I'll get him.

You had a nightmare.

What's it to you?

I think I heard you talking to your sister about how your nightmares come true.

Look,you're not the only one who's realized that something strange is happening to them.

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

Linderman.

How'd a pretty skirt like you get a scar like that?

A bicycle accident.

This place is one big science experiment.

And we're the rats.

You're wrong.

They're going to help us.

She's right.

We're freaks.

They're going to make us normal.

And you're blind.

Why do you think they have armed guards?

We've done nothing wrong.

It's not like we're communists.

My dad said we can trust them.

This has happened before.

Nazis with the jews.

America did it too... with the japs.

This is different. We're different.

What was your nightmare?

My dreams are confusing.

They're not always right.

You have to stop being afraid... and start believing.

That doctor... suresh.

Don't trust him.

What're you talking about?

Nothing.

We're all going back to sleep.

My feet are cold,banana.

That's what you get for not bringing any socks.

I'll find you some.

Say good night,alice.

Good night,alice.

I heard what you were saying to the boys.

About doctor suresh.

Those boys just have an overactive imagination.

Remember when I got an F in history?

Dad took away the tv and dessert.

I was so mad that I-

that night,a hail storm smashed his car.

So?

I think I can control the weather.

Is doctor suresh going to come for me?

Why didn't you tell nathan and peter about your sister?

Where's your father?

I asked for some alone time...with you.

I wanna help you.

I was almost your age when I came here.

I was 16.

Every other thought was about boys and the prom.

I was so naive.

I wish I had had half of your strength.

You have courage and self confidence.

You...you've overcome all those nagging self-doubts.

Maybe sometimes.
