“Powerless” · Season 2, Episode 11

In this episode: Sylar (6), Nathan Petrelli (6), Peter Petrelli (5), Hiro Nakamura (4), Mohinder Suresh (4), Maya (4), Adam (4), Claire Bennet (3)

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

Where's Molly?

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

What is it you want?

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

It's such an honor to meet you.

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

Really? Why's that?

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

Sit, eat. I'm starving.

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

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

Yes. He told me.

He did?

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.

So that's what this is about.

We both need your help.

Why is that?

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

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

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.)

Gabriel, what are you doing?!

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

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

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?

You lied to me?

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.)

Maya! Do not spoil this!

My brother was right not to trust you!

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

Molly!

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

Hiro?

Peter Petrelli?

What are you doing here?

Adam Monroe killed my father. And for that, he must pay.

No! I can't let you hurt him.

Why are you protecting him?

Adam is my friend.

He was my friend too. 400 years ago. He betrayed me. He will betray you.

No! He saved my brother's life!

He murdered my father.

Your father had him locked away for 30 years. I know, I was in that same prison. Hiro... I went into the future. There's a virus. It kills almost everyone. And it starts here. Today. Adam and I are gonna stop it.

You are really going through with this.

They killed Dad, they're never going to leave us alone.

You do realize what'll happen to us if you tell everyone what we can do.

Yes. No more running, no more hiding, no more secrets.

Your dad couldn't take down this company, Claire, what makes you think you can?

Do you realize how much damage you've done by provoking Claire?

I couldn't help it. She was just so... weepy, and earnest and... who knew she'd turn whistle-blower?

It's totally unprofessional, not to mention petty. And Claire is not even in your league!

She isn't working with a gunshot wound.

You and I both know you have performed well below what you can do. You're benched. No more field assignments.

How's about if I said I was sorry?

When I think about all the hard work I've put into raising you...

Daddy...

You said you knew all about my ability. Tell me what my dad did to me.

I'm stuck in this hellhole. My family thinks I'm dead. There's not a lot of incentive to share.

(creates a ball of electricity in her hand) I could make you tell me.

You could try. (Elle lets the electricity in her hand disappear)

Please. I don't have anyone else to talk to.

They wanted to see how much wattage you could discharge. Enough to power a flashlight, street lamp, an entire city block? During testing you'd pass out from the strain. We'd all want to call it a day, but Daddy said, "No, my girl's tougher than that." You were seven. You know, the hardest thing a parent ever does is to have to see their child in pain. Most parents.

Elle. What are you doing here?

Leaving.

Did you kill Hiro's father?

I did. He saw to it that the virus be safely kept here. If he didn't plan to use it, why not destroy it?

Why don't you make me believe you, Adam? Hiro said not to trust you.

The woman you love is trapped in some horrible future where nearly everyone is dead. You can change that. She needs you, Peter. We all need you. To open that door.

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

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)

Mohinder!

It'll be okay, Molly, I promise.

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

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

Why?

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

Just give me the remedy.

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

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

My father, who you murdered.

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

Listening to my mother has never led to anything good. If Peter becomes a problem, I'll handle him.

Flying Man!

Who's this guy supposed to be?

I wish Alejandro was here to help.

Who's that?

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

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

You can? How?

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

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

He's not anywhere.

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

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

Injected me? Someone did this to me?

You killed him! You killed my brother!

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

Where is the "heal anything" blood?

Please. (Mohinder takes it out of his bag.)

You had it here all along? You and I have trust issues, doctor. Give it to her, first. Let me see you save her. Then if it works... I'll let you save me.

Wars, famine, disease. 400 years later, nothing has changed. When God wasn't happy with what he created, he made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. He just washed it all away. He had the right idea, because when this virus is released, those of us who are left will be granted a second chance. And I'll be their hero.
