Maya quotes from Heroes

Maya

I'd rather see you dead than married to my brother!

Maya

Are they really gone?

Alejandro

For now. We've got to keep going.

Maya

We've been running for eight hundred miles. I can't run anymore.

Alejandro

We have no choice.

Maya

So, you are from California?

California?

Maya

Mm-hmm, on the license on the car, it says California.

Oh, that. No, I just picked the car up there. I'm actually from Jersey.

Maya

This is very, very close to New York. We are going to New York, my brother and I-

Look, I can take you guys pretty far, but when we get to the border, chances are they're gonna be looking for all of us.

Alejandro

(in Spanish) What's he saying?

Maya

(in Spanish) He says they'll be looking for us at the bord- (Derek stops the car because there's someone lying in the middle of the road. They all get out of the car to look.) Oh my god!

Alejandro

(in Spanish) What happened to him?

Dude looks dead. (The three of them turn him over.)

Sylar

(voice hoarse) Help me.

Maya

(in Spanish) It's a miracle! A sign from God, we're on the right path. (in English to Sylar) Thank you! I don't know what to say, I don't even know your name!

Sylar

It's Gabriel. (looks down at broken watch and his eyes fix on the word "Sylar" at the top.) Gabriel Gray.

Maya

Gabriel. Oh! Like the angel.

Sylar

Yeah. (turns away from Maya.) Just like the angel.

Maya

(in Spanish) Derek is calling the police! (Maya and Sylar's eyes go black.)

Sylar

What are you doing to me?! (Alejandro grabs Maya's hands.)

Alejandro

(in Spanish) Calm down, calm down, calm down... (their eyes return to normal.)

Sylar

You both... have powers?

Maya

This is not our fault! We don't know what is happening to us.

Sylar

That's why you need to find Dr. Suresh.

Maya

Yes.

Sylar

Believe me, I understand what you're going through. To be held responsible for things you didn't mean to do. Being hunted. I've helped Suresh with so many people like you, he'll know what to do.

Maya

But the police!

Sylar

(holds up car keys) They'll have to catch us first.

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?

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. (Sylar reaches over and strokes Maya's hair.) It can be wonderful. (Alejandro wakes up and Sylar moves away from Maya.)

Alejandro

(in Spanish) Stop at the next gas station. I need to find a coyote to take us across.

Maya

(in Spanish) What? What about Gabriel?

Alejandro

(in Spanish) 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

(in Spanish) God delivered Gabriel to us, Alejandro. We should put our faith in him. (in English) It's okay. We will cross the border together. I'm glad to have found you, Gabriel.

Maya

What is that?

Sylar

A border fence, not finished yet. That is America right there.

Maya

(in Spanish) Alejandro, we made it! That's the United States. (Maya drives through the fence, and police cars surround them.)

Attention, you're in violation of US immigration. We have notified border patrol. All right boys, andale, andale. Come out with your hands up.

Maya

Who are they?

Sylar

They're locals. Not border patrol. They're fake police, just drive around them. (Policeman cocks his gun.)

Maya

(in Spanish) God help us.

Alright boys, this is your last warning. Vamanos!

Sylar

We have to go.

Maya

They will shoot us!

Alejandro

(in Spanish) We never should have listened to him--

Maya

(in Spanish) Alejandro, stop!

Sylar

(yelling) Just drive, now!

Maya

(in Spanish) It's happening.

Alejandro

(in Spanish) Give me your hand! (Alejandro reaches for Maya's hand as Sylar smacks it away and grabs Maya's wrist.)

Sylar

No, no, no, no, no. Let her alone.

Alejandro

(in Spanish) What are you doing?! You'll die!

Sylar

We need to get past these men, these guns. You can use your gift. (Policemen still banging around the car and yelling at them.)

Alejandro

(in Spanish) Maya take my hand, hurry.

Maya

No. (Maya's eyes turn black.)

Alejandro

(in Spanish) Maya, what are you doing!? (men collapse around the car and Sylar's eyes go black.)

Sylar

(faintly) Drive.

Maya

(in Spanish) Alejandro! Stop! I did what I had to do, for all of us!

Alejandro

(in Spanish) Listen to what you're saying! You're a killer, because of him. I won't do this. You have to choose. Either he goes, or I do.

Maya

(in Spanish) Don't, Alejandro. We need Gabriel. He can take us to Dr. Suresh. To salvation!

Alejandro

(in Spanish) Fine. He can stay. But the next time your eyes blacken, don't look for my hand. It won't be there. I will let him die. (Alejandro moves away.)

Maya

(to Sylar) I will get something for your lip. (Maya walks away.)

Sylar

I know you don't understand me, but I want to tell you why I'm helping you. It's that delicious power. You see, when I get my abilities back, I'm gonna kill you... and your sister. And I'm gonna take it all. And if I don't get my ability back, it's not a total loss. Maya's learning quickly. She's a shiny new toy, and she's all mine. (Sylar smiles.)

Maya

It's beautiful here, Gabriel. Thank you. I almost feel normal.

Sylar

After you see Dr. Suresh you will be.

Maya

And then Alejandro and I can go back home.

Sylar

What if Alejandro could go home now?

Maya

But I need my brother. He's the only one who can stop me from hurting anyone else.

Sylar

What if you could learn to control your own power? I've seen people's power grow. Do you love your brother enough to let him go?

Maya

Of course. It's... it's just not possible.

Sylar

Well, you'll never know unless you try.

Maya

We should get back. (Maya stands up.)

Sylar

You put him through enough, Maya.

Maya

Me?

Sylar

He gave up his entire life for you, even after you killed his wife.

Maya

It was an accident.

Sylar

You really think he's forgiven you?

Maya

She was cheating on him!

Sylar

So you think she deserved to die?

Maya

That is not what I meant.

Sylar

But you wanted to kill her, didn't you Maya?

Maya

Stop it. Let me go.

Sylar

Where? Back to your brother? He hates you.

Maya

Don't do this. Please! (Maya and Sylar's eyes go black.)

Sylar

If you can control your power, no more innocent people have to die.

Maya

I can't!

Sylar

(voice hoarse) Help. You're killing me. Help... please. (their eyes return to normal.)

Maya

You were right. I did it! (hugs Sylar.)

Sylar

Welcome home, Dr. Suresh. - What happened to your nose?

Mohinder

Where's Molly?

Sylar

Asleep. Keep your voice down, we don't want to wake her.

Mohinder

What is it you want?

Sylar

Breakfast? I hope you don't mind. Maya cooked. She makes the most amazing chilaquiles.

Maya

It's such an honor to meet you.

Sylar

He's the one that should be honored. Maya came all the way from South America just to be here, Mohinder.

Mohinder

Really? Why's that?

Maya

I read your father's book. He has so many answers, but I have so many more questions.

Sylar

Sit, eat. I'm starving.

Maya

When Gabriel told me you two knew each other, I knew fate brought us together.

Mohinder

Gabriel. You mean Sylar, don't you? You do know this man is a killer?

Maya

Yes. He told me.

Mohinder

He did?

Maya

And I am ashamed to admit that I have taken lives as well. I have this sickness that comes out of me. It poisons everyone around. I need your help, Dr. Suresh.

Mohinder

So that's what this is about.

Sylar

We both need your help.

Mohinder

Why is that?

Sylar

I was reading about your lab work on the laptop. The Shanti virus. Does it really take away a person's abilities?

Mohinder

It also has the unfortunate side effect of killing the person affected.

Maya

Is that why your powers are gone? That you have this virus? (Mohinder and Sylar stand at the same time, Mohinder with a knife and Sylar holding a gun. Mohinder drops his knife.)

Maya

Gabriel, what are you doing?!

Sylar

Maya, I need you to stay calm. Apparently, Mohinder, your blood is the answer to my ills.

Mohinder

No, no, not always. Trust me, there are many different strains of the virus.

Sylar

But when you mix it with a certain cheerleader's blood, it changes, doesn't it? And it heals anything. Isn't that right, doctor?

Maya

You lied to me?

Mohinder

I don't know what he told you, but he is not my friend. He's a monster. (Maya's eyes go black, as do Mohinder's and Sylar's.)

Sylar

Maya! Do not spoil this!

Maya

My brother was right not to trust you!

Sylar

Do you really want to kill Dr. Suresh, the one man who can save you? (Molly screams in pain and walks in.)

Mohinder

Molly!

Sylar

And she dies... a sweet, innocent little girl. Stop it, Maya! Now!

Maya

You're nothing like you said you were. Alejandro was right about you all along.

Sylar

You wanna get rid of your powers, I want mine back. After Suresh fixes me, I'll gladly take yours off your hands. There's a bed over there. Stay put, stay calm, and remember... (holds up gun)

Molly

Mohinder!

Mohinder

It'll be okay, Molly, I promise.

Sylar

So this is your... laboratory, huh? I killed that artist, Isaac Mendez, right on this very spot.

Mohinder

I'm going to have to take a sample of your blood.

Sylar

Why?

Mohinder

You self-diagnosed. I need to know what strain of the virus you have, or if you even have it at all.

Sylar

Just give me the remedy.

Mohinder

It doesn't work like that. The wrong dosage will kill you. (allows Mohinder to take his blood.)

Sylar

Your father helped me find my gift, now here you are restoring it. Life has its poetry, doesn't it?

Mohinder

My father, who you murdered.

Sylar

Your father, who betrayed me. Don't make that same mistake, Mohinder. (Mohinder roughly inserts needle to take his blood.) Ouch!

Maya

I wish Alejandro was here to help.

Molly

Who's that?

Maya

He's my brother. I sent him away. Gabriel said...

Molly

I can find him for you. Even if he's far away. So you know he's safe.

Maya

You can? How?

Molly

I just know where people are. I need a picture or something to think about.

Maya

This is Alejandro. (pulls out a picture.) Here. (Molly concentrates.)

Molly

He's not anywhere.

Maya

But... If he's not anywhere... (Maya stands.)

Mohinder

How--? You have the same strain of the virus Niki has. The company injected you as well.

Sylar

Injected me? Someone did this to me?

Maya

You killed him! You killed my brother!

Sylar

(with an aggravated look on his face, Sylar turns around and shoots Maya.) Now look what you made me do.

Maya

I thought... I was dead.

Mohinder

You very nearly were.

Elle

Sylar's gone. My dad's gonna kill me.

Mohinder

I doubt that very much. If you hadn't arrived, Sylar would have slaughtered us all. We owe you our lives.

Elle

Really? Cool.
