Now that Danko's thrown Nathan off a building and watched him fly away, it all comes down to you, Noah. Danko doesn't trust me. Tell me you didn't know about this? Then make him trust you. They lost Angela Petrelli. Someone tipped her. Or she saw them coming. She does that, you know. I'm walking a fine line here, Claire, I have given you a free pass. I just dance away to college, pretend everything is hunky dory? Claire! Actually, he's my biological "padre". So, what's the plan? Plan is to keep you safe. I was exposed, so that free pass I had for you went away, but even Danko's reach doesn't extend south of the border...yet. What about everyone else? I'll make some calls. Put some things in motion. All right, well... ..we've also got to eat. There's the cantina down on the way, can I buy you a taco? With what money? I'll think of something. I think I'm just going to go for a walk. Look, it's probably best we stick together, OK? It's for your own safety. I'll be careful, I promise. All right, look, I'll meet you at the cantina. OK? Don't be... I think we're clear. My very own guardian angel. You're a good son, Peter. That's not why I saved you, I want answers. You think I've got them? You always know more than you let on. I'm sorry to disappoint you... but I need to find some answers for myself right now. What? That's why I had you bring me here. This is where I'm supposed to be. So, tell me exactly what happened. We were moving in to apprehend this guy. Agents Whitman, Price and Holiday went in, I watched the hallway. Then I heard three gunshots. I ran in as fast as I could and I found them like this. And you didn't see anyone? No, sir. Nothing. HE VOMITS AND GRUNTS Sorry, sir. Go back to HQ, get cleaned up. What are you thinking? No sign of a scuffle, one bullet each in the back. Who's their intended target? James Martin, 32, high school geometry teacher. Amateur fly fisherman. Bio doesn't read trained assassin. What is Martin's ability? Unknown. His DNA was in the National Database set up for red flag. We're doing that now? Are you going to lecture me about civil liberties? No. About sending your men in blind. Unknown means Martin could be anything, a telepath, a teleporter an invisible man. Each one requires a different tactic. Our order is to take them all in. You're so desperate to chalk up a win you're cutting corners? Let's not forget you're Nathan Petrelli's boy. Your last crusade was to catch this rebel and you didn't catch him, did you? You need a win a hell of a lot more than I do. MUSIC PLAYS # As I walk along I wonder # What went wrong # Without her love, a love that was so strong... # I love this song. Quite a bloodbath in there, isn't it? Did you get my gifts? That taxidermy bunny and the near dead puppeteer? You shouldn't have. It's an overture to a collaboration, since we both want the same thing. And what's that again? Killing people like me. I think... we should pull our resources. What's in it for you? Let's just say you fascinate me. And you are in wa-a-ay over your head in there. I can help you... ..if you want. I can find the guy who killed your agents.

Three of our own died and they will not die in vain! Not on my watch...and not on yours. Remember your training. Remember Agents Whitman, Price and Holiday, and their families. Remember we don't sleep... ..until this son of a bitch is caught. Any questions? Nice speech. We need a win. You've got 20 years' experience with these people... and I need a plan. And I don't want to hear one of us - one of them. Then I won't say it, but it got the job done. The very same tactics that you used on all those counter-insurgency programmes you ran from a van. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, right, OK. If you did know what I was talking about,' you would understand the value co-opting the native population. Working the enemy. A little focused manipulation goes a long way. How could you work with these people? Trust them? Who said anything about trust? They're assets, weapons to be mobilised. Motivate them. Greed, revenge, love, hate, whatever it takes to make the collar. Speaking of which... ..I have reason to believe that Sylar is here, in DC. This could be the win we both need. Or it could be another chapter in the big book of you letting him slip through your fingers. No, I've got another assignment for you. Voila. Where did you get that? I sold my kidney. Actually both of them...twice. I found a pawn shop down the street and sold the necklace my dad gave me, my other dad. You didn't have to do that. I didn't want to, but he's Mr Survival Skills. If he knew we were at a pinch and I didn't sell it, he would be mad. I expect he would. It's a nice gesture, but I've got everything under control. This isn't exactly a simple situation here. It seems simple to me. Government agents are out there hunting innocent people. They'll keep going and until you tell them to stop what you started. Would it kill you to show me just a little bit of gratitude? For what? For what? For giving you a free pass, for risking my neck to save your life when it was over, pick one, either one. Just common courtesy, Claire. Why did you give me a free pass? I had my reasons. I'll be back. What are you going to do with it? Turn it into more. Gentlemen, tequila? The mass is ended. May you go forth in peace, and love and serve the Lord. They're gonna stop the agents from coming. I can't sleep, Peter. To find where we should go, what we need to do I need to dream and to dream I need to sleep and I can't. I haven't, not for a long time. Take a pill. Doesn't work. For the dreams to come, the ones that matter, sleep has to be natural. It has to be earned. Earned? I always found peace here. Your father and I were married in this church. We walked down this aisle. Your first communion. Even Nana's funeral. You are probably too young to remember, but you held my hand. There used to be love in this family once. Look at us now. It's all my fault. You come here to be forgiven? I'm not sure even God has that in him. Do you boys want to make this a little more interesting? What did you have in mind? Listen. Come on. $100 a hit, last man standing takes it all. Listen, I can do this. I used to do this scraping for shore leave money in the Philippines, all right? I'm good at it. Fine. All right. Go for it. All right, boys, line them up. KNOCK AT DOOR Jenkins? Sir, I wanted to check in, see if there was anything else I can do. No, just try to get some rest. I wanted to tell you that what you said earlier about the guys... ..it was inspirational. I wish I had your strength. PHONE RINGS Hello? Special delivery. How the hell did you get in here? Well, you'd be amazed what you can do with a lifted ID badge, a $4-dollar tie and a West Baltimore accent. But you've got much bigger problems. Done some homework about that killer of yours. I don't need your help. Well, I just found some evidence to the contrary. There's another body. He stashed it, you missed it, I found it of course. You're lying. Look in the box. And what's in the box? Your answer. How James Martin was able to shoot your men in the back so easily, it's because of what he can do. He's a shape shifter. Where is he? Just around the north-east corner. Excuse me. Hey, hey, I didn't do anything. Take him in. Your coat's sopping wet. I found this one in the bins, it looked like something you'd wear. It should, it's mine, I made a donation last week. It's supposed to go to someone who needs it. You need it, come on. Didn't know you were still so active. I give them things. Not devotion, not myself, not the same. If it's like with you and your brother. Your father and I supported you but we did not give you support. Sure you did. Oh, Peter. There were times, when you were growing up, you were so confused. You were so desperate for answers and I could have told you the truth. I could have given you a comfort. I didn't. You must hate me. I'll find you a cup of tea. It'll help you sleep. I don't hate you. Look, whatever's happened, you're still my mother. I'm afraid that unconditional love isn't really love at all. MUSIC PLAYS Hey, why don't we just call it a draw? You guys don't look so good. Nonsense. You don't have to do this, you know. Yeah, I do. We need the money, don't we? Besides, your dad's not the only one who can... He's not the anyone that can do stuff, you know. You better get your old man off to bed. No, we need a re-match. How about a rematch? No, I beat him fair and square. Come on, what about winning a little bit more? What do you have in mind? What about this watch? It's a pretty nice watch, huh? Is a really nice watch. But I'm like 22 shots deep, you're a little bit late for the party. Well... better catch up, huh? You're not the only one who can get the drop on someone. You've been waiting here for me. Your MO's predictable enough. You desperately want to find Martin so you can get that ability, don't you? I have plenty of powers. But this is different. Shape-shifting. You're salivating. I read your profile. How you like to take on accents, affectations, play characters. It's fun. It's sad. You are so desperate to be someone else. You want out. You have no idea what I want. Shape-shifting, it's your escape hatch. Of course I could save you the trouble. End it all for you. Right now. The part of my brain that you would need to hit to kill me is microscopic. I'm a pretty good shot. It's not that simple. I've also got to jam something in there, right? To make it stick. Yeah. You've clearly thought all of this through, haven't you? Except for the part where you can't catch your guy without my help. You're all the win I need. A white whale. Maybe. I'm the goose who lays the golden egg. I can round them all up. Are you suggesting that I can't? You chased a shape shifter. You don't chase a shape shifter. I'm just one photo on that board. Just one. But I could help you... find them all. Then you can take your shot. I asked to be extraordinary. I promised I'd make the world a better place. So when I got my chance... I lived up to my end of the bargain. For what? I'm running for my life. A lot of people are running for their lives. They're hurt, and they're dying, and I can't help them. Do you even care... what you put people through? I mean, they kneel here... ..before you and they ask for help. Do you even listen? And I'm tired of fighting. And I'm angry. I'm angry at my father, Nathan, and my mother. At you. We had a deal. I think it's about time you lived up to your end. Please, just... ..show up. I want the perimeter locked down. Excuse me! What do you people think you're doing? Sit down, sir. We have reason to believe the church is harbouring fugitives. Chain the doors. No-one gets in or out. You understand? Yes, sir. This is a waste of time. Martin's halfway across the country by now. No, he's not. He hasn't left the city. He had his chance and he didn't take it. He showed up as Agent Jenkins right under your nose. Why? Martin's only human. We all crave routine, we just need to find his. You got some special power for that? I do. But I don't need it. You can tell everything about a person from their belongings. I thought you'd be better at this. Why's that? Cos you're a shape shifter too. I've been to your apartment. You've got no books, no art, no keepsakes, no correspondence, nothing to define you. This is the part where you get under my skin. That's in your file, too. It must be very hollow. Boring. Not like Martin's closet. Never seen so many costumes. Not much call for a geometry teacher wearing to wear an Armani suit. Or scrubs. Or this...this. It's fractured, disjointed... He's trying on personalities like clothes. Has he made a choice? Not yet. Like all of us, he's still looking. What's the common denominator here? Lawyer, doctor? Priest? Power. These roles give Martin something he could never find in real life. Why? Why does anybody want power? To screw with people? Or to simply screw people. Tell me what you notice about all those pictures. Martin isn't in any of them. Or these are all Martin. Different men of power with different women of allure. It's a cliche for a reason and it's Martin's routine. But where is he? Where he goes every night. Looking to fall in love. What do you weigh? Like a buck ten? That's none of your business. I'm just saying, man. You don't even look drunk. I think that you're just jealous that I caught up. Yeah, after I pushed your old man to sleep. Oh, please, that's not hard. He tends to bite off more than he can chew. He's pretty slick, but he seems like a good guy. He wants to be. Swooping in and taking me off to Mexico, thinking that's all he has to do... I get it. My parents are divorced, too. No, it's not like that. Maybe it is. I just wish he would take off his armour, shining or otherwise, and just act like a normal human being. Thank you! We need to go. Hey! Come on, we gotta go. I won the money! Got it? Checking every one. I'm sorry, Peter. Mum, be quiet! No. This may be our last chance together and there are things I have to say. You don't have to say anything. Listen to me! I was just like you. My head in the clouds, full of hope. I was gonna be a teacher, and then my power manifested and the dreams came. Visions of a bloody future, of deceit and death, the apocalypse. When I woke, I tried to warn everyone, but no-one would listen. Why would they? Why should they? I was Cassandra screaming that the sky was falling but when they looked up, there wasn't a cloud in sight. And I did it with lies... and with manipulation and betrayal. And it cost me everything. My friends, my husband, my boys. But, Peter... ..it's the price I chose to pay to save the world. All clear. Guess who's here! Where? Which one? I suppose that fits the pattern. A position of power, authority, significance. I think you'll recognise him. Remember what happened last time you chased him. What's he up to? Why me? He's after power. He thinks that's something you have. Trying to convert the power into love. Doing a pretty good job of it, too. He's a better you than you! Where did he go? OK. You should never, ever fly in that condition. But you're not... The whole tissue regeneration thing, I think it includes my liver tissue. Fine. I didn't know that. I'm so sorry, Claire. No, no. It's fine. It's not fine. You know what I did when I found out about you? I did what I always do. I denied there was a problem, just like I'm doing right now. We should probably have this conversation in the morning. Truth is, Claire, I get a pit in my stomach every time I think of you. It was just so stupid the way I handled it. If I'd kept my distance, when the time was right, we would... ..catch up. But look at you. I missed my chance. You're all grown up. Hardly. You wanna know why I gave you a free pass? Cos I thought in one move, I could win you over. I'm using you as an excuse to hide behind this mess that I... You know what? I know everybody's counting on me to fix it. And I wanna try. I'm gonna do it for everybody. Peter, my mom. For you. I'll fix it all. I'll make it all... I lost him. Me too. I guess he's gone. For good, this time. Let's go. You killed him! No. He's still alive. Wait. Can you do it without leaving...? No! Look at him! No! Arrrgh! Good morning. Morning. You really bailed me out with those kids last night. I appreciate it. That's what family's for, right? So what's the plan? Are we going straight to Washington? No. Look, I didn't make any calls to anybody. I don't really have any friends on the Hill at the moment. But last night you said that you would fix everything. I was drunk. Sorry if I got your hopes up. There's gotta be something that you can do. I'm wide open if you've got any ideas. Claire, I over-reached. I screwed up. And now it's just way beyond my control. Some things are bigger than one man. You know what? Over the years... ..I couldn't help but... ..think about my real dad. Who you were, what you looked like, your job. And then I met you. And you were more amazing than anything I could have ever imagined. It's just a fantasy. No! No, it doesn't have to be. You could do anything you want! You could fly! Claire. You're supposed to be Superman! Feeling better? Hm. I slept, and I had a dream. What about? That. Or should I say, her. I know what we have to do now. First, we need to go find Nathan and Claire. We need to bring this family together, and then we need to go visit my sister. Sister? So where are you headed, anyway? San Diego. What time is it? I got nothing. What happened to your watch? I'm heading back up, you know. Good. Are you coming? # In this dirty old part of the city # Where the sun refused to shine # People tell me it ain't no use in trying # My little girl you're so young and pretty # And one thing I know is true # You're gonna die before your time is due # See my daddy in bed a-dying # See his hair turning grey... # Are you OK, sir? # He's been working and slaving his life away # I know # He's been working, yeah # every day # Slaving his life away # He's been working, baby # He's been working, working # Work, work # We gotta get out of this place # If it's the last thing we ever do # We gotta get out of this place # Girl, there's a better... # Those things'll kill you. How did that feel? Zipping up that body bag? Argh. Urgh. Uh. Argh. Uh-h... Argh! Cathartic. Poetic. And tactically fortunate. It'll be a lot easier for us to operate. Everybody thinks I'm dead. If we do this, if we succeed... ..you'd be the only one left. # We gotta get out of this place... # Funny how that works. # We gotta get out of this place # Girl, there's a better life for me and you. # Subtitles by Red Bee Media Ltd Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.
