Alejandro quotes from Heroes

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) 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.)
