Heroes

previously on heroes...

- there's a lot of change going on with me.

really?

- it's like, when i look back on my life,

It just seems like it's not my life

I'm looking back on.

- it's a mid-life crisis. that's all this is.

pete, it's me again.

I have left you three messages.

You need to call me.

Something's happening to me,

And i think you're the only person

Who's going to understand what it is.

- for years, i put my job ahead of my family.

Now i'm eating cereal for dinner,

And a strange man is answering my wife's phone.

That's no way to live.

so what did we win?

a compass.

A broken compass.

- you can never change the past. it's bad.

- if you want to change one thing...

That's all you do.

- what if i could make it so that danko

Wasn't interested in you anymore?

- why do you want to do this for me?

- maybe we're both looking for redemption.

i want my old life back.

I go back to my apple martinis and overpaid lobbyists.

?seeing that you're still here ?

?here ?

?it's not me, no ?

?it's my bad body double ?

hello, governor.

I'm back.

nathan.

mom.

What brings you to d.c.?

You cleaning out the garage?

yes, as a matter of fact.

Here, come look.

Just what the doctor ordered: a trip down memory lane.

Last we spoke, you said something

About looking back on your life

And it feeling like someone else's.

Well, nathan,

This is your life.

- gee, mom, you didn't really have to do that.

Yeah, i don't recognize any of this stuff.

well, of course you do.

Come on, pick something up.

ma, really, i got to--

here.

Used to be your favorite toy.

?midnight at the oasis ?

?send your camel to bed ?

- uncle tim bought this for me

When we took that trip up the coast.

I was in the back seat of the car.

that's when you decided

You wanted to be a fighter pilot.

You remember?

- yeah, i remember it like it was yesterday.

Literally.

- is there something wrong, nathan?

no, everything's fine.

- come on, what happened to you?

I mean, it feels like you fell off the face of the earth.

- it was family. - oh.

it was a family crisis.

It was complicated and dramatic,

And it's behind me.

so, you're back.

- i'm back. and i'm looking for work.

- not anymore, you're not.

I can use you back in new york.

That is, if you're willing to come work for me.

- i'd be a fool to turn it down.

- terrific.

so what's going on?

i could use your help

To ease some legislation through the mine fields.

You know, cut a few corners,

Charm a few regulators.

It's right up your alley, trace.

Right, baby?

not a problem, governor.

have dinner with me tonight.

We can discuss the particulars.

- so happy to have my tiger lady back.

peter.

- hey, noah, you got a minute?

sure, come on in.

I thought you wanted nothing to do with me.

- i need to show you something.

that's a very nice arm.

- no, it-- there was a tattoo.

Right here. i noticed it last night.

mystery tattoo?

no, it was a compass.

Just like the one that you pulled

Out of the safe deposit box.

mystery compass tattoo.

- i know where you're going, noah.

And i'm not seeing things. it was there.

I thought you'd help me--

- i don't know, what are we going to do, though, peter.

Seriously, are we going to go on the road,

And search for this speedy guy with the knives,

And uncover some giant conspiracy?

- not particularly. you want to get cut up again?

no, i don't.

That's what i'm telling you, i'm not up for it.

That's all.

got it.

So what am i doing here?

Sorry to bother you, noah.

- oh, not at all. any time.

- claire. - what are you doing here?

- i, uh--i had to ask your dad a question.

He was helping me clear my head up, but...

I'm good.

I got to go.

I, uh, i got to be at work in ten minutes.

- ten minutes? you live in new york city.

New power?

ask your father about it.

- just a, uh, fishing expedition.

Doesn't amount to anything and it's over.

Can i get you something to eat?

A, um, bowl of cereal?

- val, before you put that in,

The guy didn't tell us he was diabetic.

pete.

I left you three messages.

- i'm so sorry, man, i'm so sorry.

I've been slammed. are you okay?

- yeah, i need to talk to you.

- can it wait? - five minutes.

so what's up?

Whoa! when did that start happening?

a couple days ago.

I'm like a swiss army knife of superpowers now.

It's a new power every day.

- guess it runs in the family.

- yeah, but there's something else.

what?

i'm seeing things, peter.

Memories.

Images.

Memories, but they're not my memories.

Not exactly.

I'll touch something, and...

It's freaking me out.

uh, i've read about this.

It's called psychometrics.

It has something to do with seeing the history

Of an object, where it's been,

What it's experienced.

- so what i'm seeing, it's real?

- possibly. i don't know, why?

What are you seeing?

- you remember kelly houston?

kelly houston.

Before or after she ran away and broke your heart?

- i don't think she ran away, pete.

I just don't know.

I touched my old baseball hat,

And i got a flood of images

Of her and me in a pool.

I know how all of this must sound.

But she was dead,

And there was blood everywhere.

- you think somebody killed her?

i don't know.

If what i'm seeing is real, then yeah.

What would you do?

- then you got to find the truth.
