À la suite de la mort de Ricky, Peter annonce à Caitlin qu'il va se rendre à Montréal. La femme qui a tué Ricky en avait après lui et il veut donc savoir pourquoi. Caitlin décide de venir avec lui, car elle se trouvait également sur la peinture peinte par Peter. Ce dernier est d'abord réticent, mais finit par accepter lorsqu'elle lui avoue qu'elle veut être là quand il retrouvera la femme qui a tué son frère. Elle veut se venger.

Au lycée de Costa Verde en Californie, Claire auditionne pour faire partie de l'équipe des cheerleaders. Malheureusement, Debbie, leur capitaine, refuse son admission. May, une autre cheerleader, s'indigne en affirmant que Claire était vraiment bonne, mais Debbie rétorque que ce qu'elle recherche, c'est une personne "extraordinaire" et que Claire ne l'est pas. Cette dernière prend assez mal ce reproche, car elle doit absolument faire partie de l'équipe pour couvrir son mensonge du précédent épisode.

Dans les locaux de la compagnie, Mohinder observe la démonstration du pouvoir de Monica. Celle-ci a beaucoup de questions concernant son habileté, mais Mohinder n'est pas en mesure de lui fournir beaucoup d'explications. À ce moment, Bob arrive et se présente à Monica. Il demande ensuite à parler à Mohinder. Une fois dans son bureau, il lui dit qu'ils vont maintenant devoir expérimenter le virus Shanti sur Monica. Mohinder est totalement contre l'idée, mais Bob lui affirme qu'ils doivent le faire dans l'intérêt de tous. Il lui dit également que c'est lui, Mohinder, qui devra injecter le virus à la jeune fille. Il quitte ensuite la pièce, laissant Mohinder choqué.

Mohinder décide donc de téléphoner à Noah. Celui-ci lui dit qu'il doit faire ce que la compagnie lui demande de faire, car maintenant qu'ils ont Molly, ils peuvent le faire chanter. Il lui demande également de ne pas le décevoir, car refuser de faire l'injection pourrait détruire tout ce pour quoi ils ont travaillé. Il raccroche ensuite.

En Russie, une femme avec son fils s'apprête à partir à une fête. Elle dit donc au revoir à son mari Ivan et ils quittent. Lorsque la porte se referme, Noah et l'Haïtien arrivent derrière l'homme. Ce dernier est très surpris et Noah lui dit en Russe «Ivan, mon vieil ami...» avant de l'assomer avec la crosse de son arme. Il ajoute ensuite «... il faut que l'on parle.».

Claire et West s'assoient à une table pour manger. Elle lui avoue alors qu'elle a menti à son père pour cacher le fait qu'elle sortait avec lui. Il ne comprend toujours pas trop pourquoi son père est si protecteur. Elle ajoute ensuite que sa couverture ne pourra pas marcher, car Debbie ne l'a pas prise dans l'équipe. West lui dit alors de réfléchir à un moyen de la faire tomber pour qu'elle puisse intégrer l'équipe. Claire répond que ce qu'une cheerleader craint le plus est l'humiliation publique. West lui propose donc d'échaffauder un plan avec ça.

Sur une route du Mexique, Maya qui conduit la voiture discute avec Sylar tandis qu'Alejandro dort en arrière. Sylar lui parle de ses anicens pouvoirs et lui dit qu'il veut voir le Dr.Suresh pour justement les retrouver. Maya est étonnée, elle ne comprend pas pourquoi il voudrait redevenir "différent". Il lui dit alors que ce qu'il recherche, c'est d'être "spécial". Alejandro se réveille alors et demande à sa soeur en espagnol d'arrêter à la prochaine station-service pour y trouver des gens qui leur feront traverser la frontière. Maya lui demande ce qu'ils vont faire de "Gabriel" et Alejandro répond qu'il ne lui fait pas confiance, et donc qu'il ne viendra pas avec eux. Sylar demande alors à Maya ce qui se passe et elle lui dit la vérité. Sylar demande à Alejandro pourquoi, mais Maya les interromps en assurant à son frère que "Gabriel" est quelqu'un de bien. Elle ajoute qu'il a été mis sur leur chemin par dieu et qu'il faut qu'ils aient foi en lui. Alejandro abandonne alors et Maya dit à Sylar que c'est réglé.

Au Japon, Ando retourne voir le spécialiste qui déchiffre les parchemins envoyés par Hiro et ils pousuivent la lecture de ses aventures.

Yaeko et Hiro se tiennent proches du camp de Barbe-Blanche et ce dernier craint pour la vie de la princesse. Celle-ci le rassure en lui disant qu'ils doivent mettre la priorité sur le sauvetage de son père. Elle lui demande alors dans quel tente il peut bien se trouver prisonnier. Hiro tente de se souvenir de l'histoire de Kensei et il lui affirme alors que c'est la tente d'où s'échappe de la fumée. Cette dernière n'est pas satisfaite, il s'agit de la vie de son père et il ne devrait pas y aller au gré d'hypothèses. Kensei arrive alors et affirme également que c'est la tente qui fume, Yaeko est très étonnée de voir qu'Hiro avait raison. Ils décident ensuite de passer à l'action.

De retour en Russie, Ivan est attaché sur une chaise et Noah l'interroge sur les toiles peintes par Isaac Mendez. Ivan nie totalement connaître où elles se trouvent. Noah le menace alors, il lui dit que le Haïtien peut lui enlever des souvenirs très chers à ses yeux. Ivan continue cependant de nier en bloc. L'Haïtien s'exécute donc et Ivan ne se rappelle ensuite plus de sa rencontre avec sa femme. Noah lui demande une nouvelle fois l'emplacement des peintures, mais Ivan refuse de nouveau. Au moment où Noah s'apprête à le frapper, son téléphone sonne. Il répond, c'est Claire. Elle lui demande la permission d'emprunter la voiture. Il accepte, mais ajoute qu'elle devrait vérifier qu'elle a bien barré la portière cette fois. Elle lui assure qu'elle le fera, puis lui demande ce qu'il fait exactement. Il lui ment en affirmant qu'il se trouve à une formation. Elle semble toujours un peu incertaine, mais finit par accepter son explication. Elle raccroche alors. West arrive ensuite et lui montre une cagoule. Elle lui répond alors qu'elle est partante...

De son côté, Ivan tente de convaincre Noah de revenir à la compagnie. Celui-ci refuse catégoriquement bien sûr. Puis, il lui dit que s'il reviendrait, ils pourraient lui dire où se trouve les toiles. Noah semble alors réfléchir à la question.

Maya, Sylar et Alejandro arrivent devant une barrière de la frontière des États-Unis. Il en manque un bout et donc, ils croient qu'ils peuvent passer sans problèmes. Toutefois, des voitures de patrouille arrivent et les encerclent.

À New York, Mohinder dit à Monica qu'il a encore besoin d'elle pour une injection, il lui cache néanmoins qu'il s'agit d'un virus. Elle est un peu réticente, mais finit par accepter. Toutefois, au moment où l'aiguille s'apprête à entrer dans son bras, Mohinder décide de ne pas le faire. Il part donc et se rend dans le bureau de Bob. Il lui annonce qu'il ne le fera pas et lance l'aiguile par terre. Bob rétorque que s'il ne le fait pas, quelqu'un d'autre s'en chargera. Mohinder prend donc une chaise et brise l'armoire où se trouve les autres seringues. Il annonce ensuite à Bob qu'il s'en va et qu'il emmène Molly avec lui.

À la frontière, les gardes tentent de faire descendre les occupants de la voiture. Maya, à bout de nerfs, commence alors à perdre le controle et son pouvoir se manifeste. Alejandro s'apprête alors à l'aider à arrêter, mais Sylar l'en empêche. Il dit à Maya qu'elle peut se servir de son pouvoir. Maya se laisse donc aller et tous les gardes tombent à l'extérieur. Sylar est également touché, mais il dit à Maya de rouler. Elle se calmera plus loin, quand ils auront passé les gardes.

Le soir, au lycée de Costa Verde, Debbie est en train d'humilier certaines de ses cheerleaders en écrivant leur poids sur leur front. À ce moment, Claire arrive et demande à lui parler. Debbie accepte seulement car Claire lui dit qu'elle va faire ses devoirs pendant une semaine. Elles vont donc un peu plus loin et Claire lui demande une deuxième chance pour l'audition. Debbie refuse une nouvelle fois. Soudain, un homme masqué arrive en volant derrière Claire et l'attrape. Il l'emmène haut dans les airs devant le regard subjugué de Debbie, puis la laisse tomber. Cette dernière traumatisée, part alors en courant tandis que l'homme la poursuit dans les airs.
Un peu plus tard, Debbie est en train de raconter son histoire aux policiers. L'endroit où Claire se trouvait est vide et donc son histoire ne tient pas la route. À ce moment, cette dernière arrive et fait comme si elle n'était au courant de rien. Elle nie tout ce que Debbie à raconter aux policiers. Puis, l'un d'eux retrouve une bouteille d'alcool vide dans les environs. Ils en déduisent donc qu'elle a trop bu et, ainsi, le plan de Claire et West fonctionne.

La nuit, dans le camp de Barbe Blanche, Hiro, Yaeko et Takezo se déplacent discrètement. Avant de partir sauver le forgeron, Kensei remercie Hiro de lui avoir donné un but. Il va ensuite voir le garde qui surveille la tente du forgeron et celui-ci lui enfonce son épée dans le torse. Kensei ne fléchit même pas et, sous les yeux ébahis du garde, retire l'arme et l'assome avec. Ils peuvent donc ainsi sauver le père de Yaeko. Toutefois, celui-ci leur révèle qu'il ne peut pas s'en aller, car Barbe Blanche a construit un arsenal et Hiro comprend que si l'arsenal n'est pas détruit, une guerre explosera. Il dit donc à Kensei qu'il devrra détruire l'arsenal et celui-ci est d'accord. Ils délivrent donc le forgeron.

Mohinder se rend compte qu'il ne peut emmener la petite Molly, car elle ne se porte pas mieux. À ce moment, Bob vient lui parler et lui présente ses excuses. Il admet qu'il a dépassé les limites car il ne pense qu'à détruire un homme qu'il juge mauvais. Mohinder comprend qu'il s'agit d'Adam Monroe, car il a vu son dossier sur le bureau de Bob. Ce dernier lui annonce alors qu'il a à sa disposition quelqu'un qui va se charger de vérifier qu'il n'y ait plus de mal-entendus entre eux.

De retour au camp, Kensei, Yaeko, Hiro et le forgeron s'enfuient. Ils sont néanmoins repérés par les gardes et ils commencent à les attaquer. Au moment où une balle de fusil va atteindre Yaeko et Hiro, ce dernier les téléporte. Ils se retrouvent alors dans un pré des environs et Yaeko est totalement confuse. Hiro s'abstient de toutes explications, mais elle comprend par elle-même. Elle réalise que c'était lui tout ce temps l'homme qui l'a sauvé et dont elle est tombée amoureuse. Ce n'était pas Kensei comme elle l'avait toujours cru. Elle lui demande alors si il l'aime et il lui répond que oui. Au moment où ils vont s'embrasser, Hiro stoppe toutefois le temps. Il considère le fait que le continuum espace-temps pourrait en être changé, puis il se résout finalement à l'embrasser. Le temps reprend donc son cours et on s'aperçoit que Kensei les observait depuis le début. Voyant leur baiser, il se sent trahi.

Alejandro est en train de frapper violemment Sylar lorsque Maya l'arrête. Il lui dit alors qu'elle doit choisir: c'est Sylar ou lui qui part. Maya réussit néanmoins à le convaincre de rester, mais il lui dit que la prochaine fois qu'elle perdra le contrôle, il ne sera pas là pour l'aider. Il laissera Sylar mourir. Maya rassure ensuite Sylar, puis va chercher de quoi le soigner. Ce dernier commence alors à parler à Alejandro en anglais, alors que Maya ne peut l'entendre et que son frère ne peut le comprendre. Il lui explique qu'il va prendre le pouvoir de sa soeur et les tuer tous les deux. Il ajoute que Maya est comme un nouveau jouet pour lui.

Claire est paniquée et dit à West que quelqu'un aurait pu les voir. Celui-ci tente de la calmer en lui affirmant que tout s'est bien passé et que Debbie n'a eu que ce qu'elle méritait: une bonne leçon d'humilité. À ce moment, May arrive et annonce à Claire que Debbie a été viré de l'équipe pour consommation d'alcool dans l'enceinte de l'école. Il y a donc une place de libre et c'est Claire qui l'obtient.

En Russie, Noah remarque sur une photo de famille dans la maison d'Ivan, une fille dont celui-ci n'avait jamais parlé. Ivan lui aprend qu'elle est morte d'une leucémie. Noah le fait alors chanter en lui disant que se serait bien dommage que tout ce qu'il lui reste d'elle disparaisse, c'est-à-dire ses souvenirs. Ivan réagit alors et donne l'emplacement des tableaux à Noah. Celui-ci est satisfait, mais il ne peut laisser la compagnie découvrir qu'il est passé par là. Il met donc en scène un cambriolage qui a mal tourné et, malgré les paroles d'Ivan, tue ce dernier.

Hiro retrouve finalement Kensei après des heures de recherche, mais celui-ci n'est pas aussi heureux de revoir Hiro. Il lui avoue qu'il l'a vu embrasser Yaeko. Hiro lui assure que c'était un accident, qu'ils sont accidentellement tombés amoureux et qu'il en est désolé. Cela ne suffit toutefois pas à Kensei. Hiro lui assure donc qu'il lui laissera Yaeko pour le besoin de leur mission. Que ce baiser serait leur dernier. Kensei finit alors par accepter et ils s'apprêtent à se mettre en route pour détruire l'arsenal, lorsque Kensei assome Hiro par derrière. Arrive alors les gardes de Barbe-Blanche qui détiennent Yaeko et son père. Ils remercient Kensei pour sa trahison et lui promettent tout ce qu'il voudra.

En Louisianne, Bob raccompagne Monica chez elle. Il lui donne également un ipod contenant des vidéos d'une multitude d'aptitudes qu'elle pourra ainsi apprendre à reproduire. Celle-ci le remercie grandement, puis rentre chez elle.

Du côté de Mohinder, il rencontre sa nouvelle partenaire, la personne dont Bob lui parlait précédemment. Il s'agit en fait de Niki! Mohinder est surpris de la retrouver là. Elle lui explique qu'elle doit beaucoup à la compagnie, car elle a règlé certains de ses problèmes.

Noah et le Haïtien arrive au hangard où se trouve les toiles. Ils les étendent toutes par terre. Une représente Niki qui frappe dans une porte, une autre Peter qui semble désemparé, il y en a également une de Mohinder tenant un fusil et juste après, celle de la mort de Noah. Celui-ci se demande ce que ça peut bien vouloir dire.

À Montréal, au Canada, Peter et Caitlin arrivent devant l'immeuble que ce dernier a peint. Ils entrent donc à l'intérieur et y découvrent un mot rédigé par un certain Adam. Peter ne se rapelle malheureusement pas d'aucun Adam. Il prend alors Caitlin dans ses bras et dit à voix haute qu'il aimerait savoir ce que l'avenir leur réserve. Soudain, ils se retrouvent alors dans une grande ville déserte. Ils ne comprennent pas comment ils sont arrivés là ni où ils sont. Peter trouve alors par terre un avis d'évacuation en date du 14 juin 2008. Ils s'apercoivent donc qu'ils sont dans le futur.

MOHINDER: Soon, I promise. Let's take a break.

(He gives her a water bottle.)

MONICA: Are you ever gonna tell me what's going on here? Where are we? I mean, you just grabbed me off the street --

MOHINDER: You're in Hartsdale, New York, at a privately funded company whose sole purpose is to help you and others like you.

MONICA: Others like me?

MOHINDER: Not exactly like you. Others have different gifts, but you're the first we've met with adoptive muscle memory.

MONICA: So that's what it's called. Why is this happening to me?

MOHINDER: We're not really sure. There are certain genetic markers, but where they come from is still a mystery. You have been given an extraordinary gift.

BOB: (o.s.) I agree.

(Monica turns around and finds Bob there. He is carrying a file folder.)

BOB: Now, we could determine if this stops all of that.

(Bob takes out a vial.)

MOHINDER: What is that?

BOB: A variant of the Shanti virus.

MOHINDER: You're experimenting with the virus?

BOB: Manipulating a live virus is essential for creating a vaccine, Doctor. We hope to use this virus to take away Monica's ability without harming her.

MOHINDER: You could create an incurable strain. It could cross over to the general population.

BOB: Think how many people were killed by Gabriel Gray. There are some abilities in this world that must be stopped at any cost.

MOHINDER: Monica is a sweet girl who loves her abilities. We can't just take them away from her.

BOB: It's for the greater good.

MOHINDER: So she's a lab rat. You're just going to inject her without her consent.

MOHINDER: (to phone) I never agreed to experiment on people.

MR. BENNET: (to phone) You brought them Molly, didn't you?

MOHINDER: (to phone) I didn't know what else to do.

MR. BENNET: (to phone) All right, look. If you refuse to do this, they're gonna get rid of you, and then we're gonna lose everything that we've been trying to do. And worse yet, you're gonna lose Molly. Now you've got principles, and that's fine. But to bring down this company, sometimes we have to do bad things. Don't disappoint me, Suresh.

[EXT. (COSTA VERDE) LUNCH TABLES -- DAY]

(Claire sits alone at a table and watches the cheerleaders gathered around another table. A non-cheerleader sits with them. West sits down next to her with his lunch tray.)

WEST: Something wrong?

(Claire looks at him and sighs.)

CLAIRE: I lied to my dad. The other night when I went home, I told him I'd joined cheerleading.

WEST: Cheerleading? That is bad.

CLAIRE: You don't understand. Cheerleading tryouts were last period. I didn't make it. What am I supposed to tell him?

WEST: You met this awesome guy, and you need some free time to make out.

CLAIRE: I told you my dad's really overprotective about the whole dating thing. He told me I couldn't date until I was 21.

WEST: So?

CLAIRE: So I have to listen to my parents. Don't you?

WEST: Claire, I can fly. That kind of makes the whole parental guidance thing a non-issue. But if it's that important to you, we'll figure out a way to get you on the team.

CLAIRE: It's impossible. Debbie Marshall does not deem me extra-ordinary enough.

WEST: Oh, that's ridiculous. You're a total babe, and you have a power. By definition, you're better than she is.

CLAIRE: Oh, you're sweet. But it's not just her. She's got that whole squad wrapped around her evil little pinky. I knew girls just like her at my old school.

(Over at the cheerleader’s table, Debbie Marshall tries to get the non-cheerleader to eat a chocolate cupcake.)

CLAIRE: All it would take is one person to stand up to her.

WEST: Well, be that person. Take her down a notch.

CLAIRE: How?

WEST: You were a cheerleader. What do they fear most?

(Claire turns to look at the cheerleader’s table. Debbie shoves the chocolate cupcake in the non-cheerleader’s face. The other girls laugh, then make sympathetic sounds.)

CLAIRE: Public humiliation?

WEST: We could give her a taste of her own medicine.

SYLAR: Your ability is fascinating. A gift.

MAYA: What I do is terrible. I have taken many lives, and I can't control it.

SYLAR: I was like you. I could do things, amazing things.

MAYA: You? Like what?

(Alejandro is sleeping in the backseat.)

SYLAR: I could move objects with my mind. I could hear a pin drop from miles away. But then it all just ... went away. That's why I need to see Dr. Suresh, to get them back.

MAYA: You want to be different?

SYLAR: I want to be special, unique. An ability doesn't have to be a burden, Maya. It can be wonderful.

(He reaches over and brushes her hair away from her face. She smiles at him.)

(Alejandro stirs and clears his throat. Sylar puts his hand down.)

ALEJANDRO: (subtitled) Stop at the next gas station. I need to find a coyote to take us across.

MAYA: (subtitled) What? What about Gabriel?

ALEJANDRO: (subtitled) I don’t trust him, Maya. I see the way he looks at you. Why is he still here?

SYLAR: Is there a problem?

MAYA: My brother wants to hire a coyote, to cross the border without you.

SYLAR: Why? You can't trust them.

MAYA: (subtitled) God delivered Gabriel to us. Alejandro. We should put our faith in him.

(Alejandro doesn’t like it one bit. He looks at Sylar, then leans back in his seat.)

MAYA: It's okay. We'll cross the border together. I'm glad to have found you, Gabriel.

HIRO: (v.o., subtitled) And for Yaeko ... the woman I love, but cannot have.

(Hiro goes to her to try to convince her to stay behind. Yaeko is painting White Beard’s camp.)

HIRO: (subtitled) You should reconsider. Rescuing your father will be dangerous.

YAEKO: (subtitled) So long as Kensei fights at my side, I fear nothing. But I’m concerned. How will we find my father among all these tents?

HIRO: Ah! (subtitled) The story. "Kensei trailed smoke to flame and found White Beard’s treasure."

(Hiro looks at Yaeko’s painting and finds the large red tent trailing white smoke.)

HIRO: (subtitled) (points) The tent that smolders.

YAEKO: (subtitled) Did you find my father?

IVAN: Sorry, I'm retired. I work in the textile factory now. Regional manager of sales, like you in the paper company.

MR. BENNET: Cut the crap. Where are the paintings?

IVAN: You think you intimidate me? I trained you, you and your invisible partner Claude. I taught you everything!

(Mr. Bennet leans in close.)

MR. BENNET: Then you know what I'm capable of. Don't make me do this.

(Ivan remains quiet. Mr. Bennet turns and nods to the Haitian. The Haitian steps forward.)

IVAN: What is this? You want information? The Haitian can't help you.

MR. BENNET: My friend has a new trick. He can reach inside that company-loving head of yours and one by one, blot out all the memories you hold most dear. Think about it, a man of your advanced years. Treasured memories give your life meaning. Your wedding in Capri. The births of Andre and Mikhail. It'd be a shame if they disappeared, lost forever.

IVAN: (subtitled) You won’t do this. I am your friend.

MR. BENNET: (subtitled) You were my friend. (to the Haitian, in English) Start with the day he met his wife. A boat ride on the Danube, wasn't it?

IVAN: You can't hide forever.

MR. BENNET: (to the Haitian) Take all his memories of me, my family, Claire, everything I ever told him. He remembers nothing!

(The Haitian steps forward.)

IVAN: Wait! (Bennet holds the Haitian back.) I'm like you. Family comes first. Maybe we can make a deal.

MR. BENNET: What kind of deal?

IVAN: You were my protege, so dedicated to the company, you made me proud. I miss that. I want you back.

MR. BENNET: Forget it.

IVAN: The company has changed. We have new directives. Come back to us and you'll be safe, all of you. You have my word.

SWORDSMITH: (subtitled) They are here ... because of me. I told White Beard how to make them. White Beard said ... if I did not help him, he’d kill you, my daughter. He plans to overthrow the emperor.

HIRO: (subtitled) If White Beard uses guns, it would end the way of the sword and the samurai.

We've been through a lot of turmoil and made a lot of difficult choices, some I regret to this day. But right now I'm dealing with someone who is a real danger to us, to everyone, and I'm afraid that in my haste to deal with him, I overstepped my bounds.

MOHINDER: The file you were holding, Adam Monroe.

BOB: Yes. You're valuable to us, Dr. Suresh, not just for your blood or your knowledge, but to keep us in line.

MOHINDER: Molly still isn't well, so I can't take her away from here. But you've given me no reason to trust you.

HIRO: It happened ... by accident.

KENSEI: You accidentally kissed her?

HIRO: I accidentally fell in love with her, and she with me. I'm so sorry.

KENSEI: So you've been lying to me all along. First you show me that I can be harmed by no weapon, and then you cut me deeper than any blade possibly could.

HIRO: She's your princess, Kensei. I know that. And I swear I will not give in to love. That kiss will be our last. But the fate of the world still rests in our hands. We must stop White Beard.

KENSEI: All right, carp.

(He picks up his things.)

KENSEI: Let's go.

(Hiro nods his head and turns toward the road. Kensei knocks Hiro out from behind.)

(Hiro falls onto the road, out cold.)

(White Beard and his warriors step out from behind the bushes. They have Yaeko and the swordsmith.)

WHITE BEARD: (subtitled) Nicely done. For this, Takezo Kensei, whatever you desire shall be yours.

(Kensei turns and steps over Hiro’s body as he walks away.)

FADE TO WHITE



[INT. (NEW ORLEANS) DAWSON HOUSE -- NIGHT]

(Monica returns home. Bob is with her.)

BOB: You're covered at work and at home, an impromptu Burger Bonanza Training Seminar at Corporate. Here.

(He gives her a folder.)

MONICA: What's this?

BOB: Information. Phone numbers. If you have any questions or concerns, I want you to call us anytime, day or night. Also, here. (He takes out a video iPod.) It's fully loaded. Anything from martial arts to plumbing, any skill you want is now at your fingertips.

(He gives it to her.)

MONICA: Wow. Support, advice, and now gifts. You're like my own personal Oprah.

BOB: You have an amazing gift. So look around. Seems to me like this town could use a little amazing.

MONICA: Thanks.

BOB: Right.

(Bob leaves. Monica closes the door behind him.)

CUT TO:



[INT. (NEW YORK) THE COMPANY – HALLWAY -- NIGHT]

(Mohinder is out in the hallway. He hears a door open and someone approaching. He turns and sees it’s Niki.)

NIKI: Hello, Dr. Suresh.

MOHINDER: Niki? How are you?

NIKI: I'm feeling better now. Back to my old self, thanks to the company. In fact, I'm gonna be working with them for a while.

MOHINDER: So you're --

NIKI: Your new partner. I know. It's the last place that I expected to be, but ... I owe these people so much. Bob told me that you two were having some trust issues. He just wants me to make sure that there's no more misunderstandings. That's okay, isn't it?

CUT TO:



[INT. (ODESSA) WAREHOUSE -- NIGHT]

CAPTION:
      WAREHOUSE
      ODESSA, UKRAINE

(Inside the warehouse, the Haitian and Mr. Bennet are taking out the paintings and laying them out so they can see them all.)

(One painting is of a hand holding a vial. Another is of a yellow-haired woman pounding on the door.)

(Mr. Bennet kneels and looks at the paintings.)

(Painting 6 of 8 is of Hiro engaging in a sword fight with Kensei. Painting 7 of 8 is of Mohinder holding a smoking gun. Painting 8 of 8 is of Mr. Bennet dead – shot through the eye while Claire is in the background in the arms of an unknown person.)

MR. BENNET: What does it mean?

CUT TO:



[EXT. (CANADA) STREET -- NIGHT]

CAPTION:
      MONTREAL, CANADA

(Peter unrolls his painting as he and Caitlin are in Montreal, standing outside the door with the SYMBOL over it.)

CAITLIN: Are you ready?

PETER: Yeah.

(Peter opens the door and they walk inside.)



[INT. BUILDING – NIGHT]

(It’s dark inside. Peter turns the overhead lights on. It’s a cluttered, old shop with various items.)

CAITLIN: What is this place?

PETER: I don't know.

(Peter goes to the mirror where he finds a tag with his name on it.)

PETER: Someone knew I was coming.

(He flips the tag over and reads the note.)

PETER: (reads) "We were right about the company. The world is in danger. It's up to us. Adam."

CAITLIN: The name Adam doesn't ring a bell?

PETER: No, and I don't know about any company. I don't know about any of this.

(He shakes his head and chuckles.)

PETER: "The world is in danger." What am I supposed to do?

CAITLIN: We'll figure it out.

(She hugs him. Peter closes his eyes and lets himself be hugged.)

PETER: Please tell me who I am, what the future holds.

SWOOSH TO:



[EXT. (NEW YORK) TIMES SQUARE – DAY – THE FUTURE]

(Peter opens his eyes and finds him and CAITLIN out on the street--a devastated street ravaged and empty, painfully empty. The wind howls.)

(PULL BACK to REVEAL just how empty the street is. Peter and Caitlin are the only two on the street. They look around.)

CAITLIN: Peter, how did we --

PETER: I don't know.

(Peter looks around.)

PETER: We're in New York.

CAITLIN: Where is everyone?

(Peter picks up a stray piece of paper. He reads:
      EVACUATION NOTICE
      JUNE 14TH, 2008
      MANDATED EVACUATION ORDER
      PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING EVACUATION ROUTES
      TO LEAVE THE CITY IMMEDIATELY

CAITLIN: It's an evacuation order.

PETER: June 14, 2008. This is next year.

FADE TO BLACK.
