Manhattan New York
4 Years in the future.
Come on Claire.
It's me.
Put down the gun.
I can't. It's here
No no
Wait wait
I'm going back
To the day they found out
It's too late
It isn't.
Think about it Claire.
It wouldn't be like this if they never known about us.
No caves.
No experiments.
No hiding underground hunting like this.
All these powers.
It can destory everything.
I made peace with that a long time ago. You never did
What happen to you Claire.
How did you get to this place.
I'm different remember.
Special.
I can fix.
All of this everything please.
Sorry Peter.
I always loved you.
Present day.
Chapter one the second coming.
Something incredible has happend to me.
It changed my life.
First i was afraid.
But i'm not afraid anymore. I'm here to tell you the truth.
I have the ability...
Get ambulance here now.
Stay with him.
Don't leave him.
Where is he.
I lost him.
Did you get a look at him.
No
Police currently have no lead that the cause of the shooting.
And the investigation is under way to locate the gunman.
Costa verde california.
The building has been sealed off.
Mr.Petrelli was in the middle of a public statement.
When he was hit with two bullets to the chest.
-hello -peter it's me.
Is he?
Oh, it's bad
We are gonna get him to the hospital
I should be there i could help
No he is getting surgery...
But my blood can...
Claire you are in california
He needs to be in hospital right now
I will call you as soon as i know he is ok
He was down for four minutes.
Hang two units of blood, charge the paddles.
This is a restricted area.
I'm his brother.
I'm sorry.
Is he gonna make it?
Let's go!
Paddles ready. Here you go.
Clear!
Nothing.
No response?
360.
Clear!
Dr. Slade, 331.
I'm sorry.
You busy,sir?
Stop calling me "sir."
Just because I'm in his office doesn't mean I'am becoming my father
I can't help it. I'm intimidated.
Intimidared?
Why?
Your power. Look at you
You own fifty-one percent of the company now...
...A fleet of corporate jets... , I can teleport, remember?
...And two hundred and fifty million in cash
A temporary setback
I have no interest in money
You can always give it to me
I'm extremely intetestd in money
Money won't show me my destiny
I saved the world twice
Now look at me, a man without a quest
All I do is sit here bored
It's not like destiny is going to come
Knocking at my door
What is it?
My family's lawyer.
He gave me this. What is it?
Seems my father recorded a DVD message to me before he died
He said it was about my destiny
Police currently have no leads
As to the cause of the shooting,
And an investigation is underway
To locate the gunman.
Hello, Claire.
I bet you been wondering where I've been
Since you saw me last, huh?
Let's just say I took a little...
Detour from my career path.
Spent a little time south of the border but...
It's all behind me now, like a long night
After a bad taco.
No.
I saw Hiro Nakamura kill you. I was there.
And yet here I am, fully recovered.
Well, not fully.
That's actually why I've come.
What do you want from me?
Same thing I did last time I came for you.
I want what you have, Claire.
I want your power.
Maya! Oh, my god!
Oh, my god, I'm so sorry.
I thought it was Sylar coming back.
I saw the doorknob moving.
It's this damn key.
It's bent.
How did it go with Molly?
Harder than I had wished for.
Flight attendants said they'd look after her
Until she landed, but...
I just hope I did the right thing.
She'll be safe now.
No one's gonna find her there.
And now we can finally start my examination.
Yeah, about that...
I know I promised you, Maya,
But I really am in no position to help you.
What do you mean?
I mean I've hit a dead end with my research.
There's nothing left for me to do here.
I'm packing up my things and I'm going home to india.
I don't understand.
After all this time, I've found nothing
That leads me to believe I can take these powers away.
But I came all the way from south america
To find you... For a cure.
And I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
But you haven't even tried.
It's not fair.
You can't do this to me.
You have to try.
Maya.
I'm sorry.
I should go now.
No, wait.
Tell me what just happened.
When you got upset--angry-- your ability manifested.
Is it always that way?
Yes.
When I'm scared or mad, it just happens.
And to make it stop?
I just...Calm down somehow.
Like some kind of sympathetic nervous system response.
There's a mind-body connection.
The neural pathways that control...
What are you talking about?
Fight or flight.
The adrenal glands,
They control our stress levels.
My father had it all wrong.
For years he'd been working on a formula,
Trying to isolate
The gene for these abilities.
It's all here.
All this time I've been trying to make sense of it,
But he was looking in the wrong place.
These abilities don't originate in the blood.
They're produced from adrenaline.
All I have to do is make you mad again.
Hiro, if you're watching this, then I am dead.
I have left you my fortune.
But more important...
I leave you with a sacred duty.
You are now to be the sentinel of a dangerous secret.
A secret...?
One that you must keep, as I and my father before me had done.
It resides in my personal safe...
In the wrong hands, this secret will destroy the world...
So it is your task now, your sacred duty...
To never open the safe.
I don't want to be a sentinel!
I want to be a hero!
But you're protecting a dangerous secret...
That would destroy the world.
I'm doing nothing!
What are you looking for?
A way into the safe.
There must be a button.
Kaito Nakamura was like a father to me.
You will do his name a great dishonor.
I was nobody in my father's eyes until I proved I was my own man.
I can't go back to being nobody.
My destiny...Your destiny, Ando...
Is inside that safe.
Why would your thumb print work?
He doesn't want you to open it.
Or maybe he does.
"Press play."
I asked you not to open the safe.
But now that you have, beware, there are those...
Who will stop at nothing to get this half of the formula.
Formula?
Should it fall into the wrong hands,
There is only one hope;
A chosen one among you who carries the purity of blood,
The "light" to safeguard against the darkness.
Do you understand?
No. Not really.
So guard this half of the formula with your life...
The fate of the world depends on it..
Godspeed, my son.
Are you sure you should...
I knew I should've paid more attention in Chemistry class.
How are you doing this?
Are you a speedster too?
Speedster?
No, I'm Hiro Nakamura.
I stop time.
I got news.
You don't stop it completely,
Or we're not having this conversation.
So you move fast?
Not fast.
I move really fast.
Well, you stole something from me.
You mean this? Get--
This whole time-stopping thing, how does it work exactly?
I mean, if you chase me to bangkok,
Will time stay frozen here in tokyo?
I don't know.
Well...
Something to think about when you get back on your feet.
But I am on my feet.
Gotta go.
Peter.
You lookin' for this?
Hey, yeah, I was just...
Just, uh...
What?
It's pretty incredible, huh?
Nathan's recovery?
Said the bullets...
Went straight through him.
Barely any damage, like his body had
Already healed inside.
How'd you know where to find the gun, Peter?
I just...
Figured there weren't many places for him to stash it.
And what makes you think he stashed it?
You had to go and be the detective,
Didn't you, Matt?
How did--how did you--
I came from the future.
To stop Nathan from tellin' the world about us.
I had to.
It's where it all begins.
The future?
Now that you know, you can't be here.
Petrelli's miraculous recovery has this hospital staff
Completely baffled.
His condition has been upgraded to stable,
And he is resting comfortably.
The shocking footage that has been played
Over and over on news outlets and youtube
Has created a--
That's him.
I was dead, and he gave me another chance.
But now I know...
The reason I'm here.
To do great things.
To do his bidding.
Mr. Petrelli,
Earlier today, you were about to make a statement.
You had a message to deliver.
Are you ready to do that now?
God is the only one with a message.
It's a message of hope and urgency
Because he's not gonna wait much longer.
His message is a simple one.
We're all connected.
Our hopes and our dreams,
Our children's future reflecting back in each other's eyes.
We fight our own personal battles.
But we know we're not alone.
Because only together can we make our short time
On this planet mean something.
Only together can we be the stewards of our own destiny.
And we hold in our... Collective hearts
One noble goal.
To save ourselves...
Save the world.
I've separated the tyrosine
And combined that with the dopamines produced
By your adrenals.
And what now?
We wait a few seconds and see if the enzymes
Attach to the cortisol.
You're very brave to have found me the way you did.
There was no other choice.
I imagine...
That it must be very unsettling to have these abilities.
But I have also imagined, many times,
The exhilaration one must feel to know such power.
To feel so special.
It worked.
What have you done?
What my father never could.
I've isolated the genetic building blocks
Of these abilities.
I've found its source.
I have to get to the loft, to my lab.
There's a centrifuge there.
I have to verify and duplicate these results.
This is incredible.
I don't understand.
What have you found?
The contents of this single syringe
Could give powers to anyone.
Give powers?
And with the added component of adrenaline,
The effects would be instantaneous.
I know you're scared.
I would be too...
All alone in this house with someone like me.
A man you barely know.
It isn't exactly a fair fight, I admit.
But I don't want to fight you, Claire.
I just want what you have.
You see, I lost everything that made me special.
Lost...
But now found.
There's a whole shopping list of abilities right here.
But I'm going to start with the best.
And once I have yours--
No!
What are you doing to me?
I'm looking for answers before I bleed to death.
Funny...
I'm looking for answers too.
Why don't I feel anything?
No nerve endings.
An amazing bit of machinery, this...
And how much of it do we actually use?
10%, maybe 20%.
Imagine the answers we'd have with 100%.
Why is there evil?
How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
How do we make love stay?
All these answers, they're all...
They're all right here.
Are you going to eat it?
Eat your brain?
Claire, that's disgusting.
There it is.
Wait.
What about me?
Aren't you going to kill me?
Poor girl...
There's so much about yourself
You don't even understand.
Your brain is not like the others, Claire.
You are not like the others.
You're different.
You're special.
And I couldn't kill you, even if I wanted to.
You can never die.
And now, I guess, neither can i.
I ran two samples in the centrifuge.
The enzymes held both times.
You need to destroy that, dr. Suresh.
What?
What are you talking about?
It's like you said.
It's against the laws of nature.
No, Maya.
This is a discovery of world-changing proportions.
The possibilities for the advancement of science
For our entire species...
Ordinary people--
Will have my ability.
No, no.
Each individual's blood chemistry is unique,
Like fingerprints.
These abilities could manifest in an infinite number of ways.
But they can still end up terrible...
Like mine.
Or they could be wonderful.
Flight, telepathy, super-strength...
Of course it would have to be perfected.
There'll be research and development,
Clinical trials...
But in the wrong hands--
It's in the wrong hands now, Maya.
An entire clandestine company dedicated
To hiding it from the rest of the world.
Yes... Because of people like me.
People like Sylar.
Exactly.
Sylar killed my father.
If I had had a legitimate chance
To inject myself with this,
To give myself the power,
Then perhaps I could've stopped that.
That's my point.
You would actually inject yourself with that?
There are quantum leaps in science
That one dreams of being a part of.
This is one of them.
I don't see why you don't understand that.
I don't see why anyone would want
These abilities.
It's a curse!
Can what's in that syringe cure me
Or not?
Then it's evil.
And you should destroy it
For the sake of all of us.
Am I still here?
Yeah.
Touched by god.
That's what you said in the chapel.
I thought I dreamed that.
It's true, nate.
He saved me.
He came for me.
He brought me back.
We've seen what people like us can do.
Nathan...
Things no one in the world can.
I came back from the dead.
You had third-degree burns over half your body.
And who's to say this isn't the hand of god?
All of us with these powers...
Did you ever stop and think about it, pete?
We can be angels.
All here to do god's bidding.
What happened to telling the world about us?
Well, we couldn't be angels
If everyone knew, now could we?
I don't expect you to understand
What I did to you,
But I hope someday you'll forgive me.
Life is funny...
Isn't it Nathan?
Linderman...
You're the one who healed me.
"there's a divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough-hew them how we will."
It seems you and I are meant for great things, Nathan.
Great things, indeed.
The extraordinary claim of divine intervention
Has captured the imagination of the entire country.
And nowhere is it being greeted
With greater interest than by the leaders
Of the religious community.
In short, the elected congressman
From new york has become a cause celebre.
The poster child for political redemption.
Tracy, baby.
I think we've found our guy.
Isn't that my job, governor?
It's a message of hope and urgency...
'cause he's not going to wait much longer now.
What's his name?
Petrelli.
Nathan Petrelli.
Our hopes, our dreams, our children's futures
Reflecting back in each other's eyes.
I like him.
No!
Is there anybody here?!
It was like she was moving at the speed of sound.
She must known that I was going to open that safe.
What was so important on that paper?
I told you not to open it.
And what was my father talking about.
The ¡°light¡±
Nevermind that.
What about the world being destroyed
If that formula falls into the wrong hands?
You have to go back to the past
And ask your father
I can't
I¡¯m never going to the past again.
You saw what happened last time.
I¡¯ll go to the future
The future
To see for myself.
If the world is going to be destroyed...
I need to see how...
So we can stop it.
But...
What if you get stuck or...
Hiro. Give me back the formula.
No. You betrayed me.
You¡¯re wrong
Well...?
We¡¯ve gotta find that formula.
What have you done with Peter?
Who do you think
You inherited your first ability from?
Your dreams... I dreamed you'd come.
I saw what you'd do.
Shooting your own brother, for god's sake.
I had to.
It was Nathan who set everything in motion.
The powers, the greed,
The war.
Who are you to play god?
You can see the future?
Then you know that that formula
That you and your friends tried to bury...
It gets out, and it destroys everything.
The only future I've ever seen is the one caused by you.
Nathan didn't die.
And now he doesn't have to.
It doesn't Matter.
Because by shooting him, you screwed up everything.
Something different happens now.
And it's all because of you.
So why don't you go back to where you came from?
You understand?
Now...
What did you do with my son?
Don't worry.
I put him some place safe.
This is a mistake!
I'm not supposed to be here!
I'm not who you think I am.
I'm Peter Petrelli!
You've gotta help me!
I'm Peter Petrelli!!
"turning and turning in the widening gyre...

Dude's got some money here somewhere.
Give me your money.
I said, give me your money!
Man, waste him.
Aw, man, you all right?
Get up man, come on!
