Heroes Season 5 Episode 8
Hiro: Previously on Heroes...
Hiro(in japanese): I had that dream about her again. Hours ago though. (he hangs his head down)
Ando(in japanese): I know. It's ok, moving on takes time. You might find someone else.
Hiro(in japanese): How can I? She was my Gwen Stacy.
(Cut to a classroom at Arlington University. A young woman dressed in an outfit like a private school uniform is diligently taking notes(played by Annie Clark). The bell rings, and she walks alone to her next class. She is interrupted by Claire and Gretchen)
Gretchen: Hi, new student?
The woman: Yep, that's me(she smiles shyly)
Claire: I'm Claire(she hold out her hand) and this is Gretchen(the woman shakes hands with Claire and Gretchen)
The woman: My name is Syn Anders.
Gretchen: Welcome to college life.
(Cut to Last episode)
Hiro: What? (Mohinder pushes him down hard on the ground with his arms using his enhanced strength, Hiro tries to use his time-freezing ability but Mohinder ties him up and puts gray tape on his mouth as he grabs a brown wooden chair and ties him up with rope he has put aside.)
Lionel: Don't expect your ''friend'' to help you out. He now works for me.
Hiro(thinking): Oh, no! Mohinder must be under some kind of mind control!
Lionel(steps closer to Hiro): Ok, now Hiro, you're going to listen to me very carefully. You're going to help me find a very important woman that Peter Petrelli was involved with. You're also going to bring her here and help her get revenge, rescue her when her so-called boyfriend couldn't.
Hiro(face goes blank as he stares at Lionel and he removes the tape from Hiro's mouth): Yes, sir.
(Close in on Hiro and Saki at a Japanese restaurant on a cold New York afternoon. They're sitting on a small black table. Saki is wearing a little black strapped dress with a white line on top and a faux cherry blossom on the left side of her forehead. Hiro is wearing a nice black suit with a red tie. Their food, sashimi for Hiro and tempura for Saki has been served. It's November 28 2010, one week after the last episode. Script form is in English although imagine Hiro and Saki speaking Japanese with English subtitles)
Saki: Hiro-kun, it's not your fault, you were under mind control.( She and him start eating)
Hiro(looking like he's about to cry): Yes it is. I must be a true great hero. A true hero doesn't betray his friends the way I betrayed Peter, I brought back the woman he once loved so she could avenge herself.
(Saki reaches her hand out to hold his, and he's hesitant at first but then holds her hand. They smile sweetly at one another, but after a minute he pulls his hand away from her quickly, with a guilty look on his face. Saki looks at him sadly, knowing Charlie's on his mind again and that she is not his girlfriend, Charlie's ghost is.)
Saki: You wouldn't have done what you did if not for Lionel. Everyone knows that, nobody hates you.
(Shortly after finishing their meals, Hiro calls for a check and as soon as they pay for the check, they leave the restaurant and teleport back to Hiro's apartment, holding hands as Hiro avoids looking at her with a guilty look on his face)

(Cut to Gabriel and Adrian talking intensely, Adrian staring daggers at him in Gabriel's apartment still wearing his black leather jacket, while Gabriel wears a black cap and a long black coat.)
Gabriel: Look, Adrian, please listen to me. I don't hate you and if you hate me, I understand but I want you to know that you mean a lot to me and I want the three of us, you, me, and Eli to have a good relationship.
Adrian: Eli and I don't need you. We were fine without you, you really think just because we share 25% of our DNA that we're supposed to bond and you're going to take me on fishing trips and ball games to teach us about the meaning of life? I'd rather you rot in Hell for all the horrible things you've done.
Gabriel: I understand that but-(he's interrupted by the door bell)
(He goes to answer it, and finds Eli, out of breath and looking very anxious and practically sweating, despite the cold and his light brown and white cotton jacket, Gabriel gently touches his shoulder while Adrian looks on in fury)
Eli: Mr. Bennett just called me! He said that his daughter Claire, and her girlfriend Gretchen have been kidnapped! His son Lyle is missing too!
Adrian: Do you have any idea where they could be?
(A soft female voice): I do.
(All three men turn around to see Syn Anders standing before them smiling shyly and nervously wearing a white blouse with a dark blue top and short light blue skirt and wearing a dark blue beret)
Adrian: Really? It looks like you just went on vacation to France, so how would you know? You can't just appear out of nowhere claiming you know where two girls are that you've never met before!
Eli: Adrian, she does, trust me. I had a dream about her going to college with Claire and Gretchen, and my dreams are never wrong.
Syn: I'd listen to your brother if I were you. Also I've got an ability too. It's emphathetic manipulation, and it'll be pretty useful to you guys, don't worry, I have no need to use it on my allies.
Gabriel: Of course, now tell us what you know.
(There's a sudden flash of light, and Hiro shows up along with Mirei and they're both smiling, although she tries to hide her blush when she sees Gabriel.)
Hiro: Wait for us, Syn. We are coming along this rescue mission!
Mirei: Save the cheerleader, save the world.
(Gabriel and Mirei smile and briefly lock eyes when they see each other, then quickly pull away, a black and white image of their brief, soft kiss in his bedroom as they said good night to each other before they reluctantly stopped themselves and Mirei rushed out of the room. An image of a kiss that they dare not repeat flashing and ending speedily in their minds.
Gabriel: That's right.
(Adrian looks at them suspiciously before Syn starts to speak)
Syn: Now here's what you guys need to know...
(Cut to Next Scene. Lyle is in Lionel's dimly-lit living room, stuck to the ground and paralyzed on the cold wooden floor, thanks to Vincent McCormack, smiling maliciously in his dark blue suit with a light blue tie as he and Lionel look down on him as they stand beside two bright red velvet chairs)
Lionel(turns to look at Vincent smiling): Thank you Vincent for bringing him to me. You know, I never understood that expression: ''You'll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.'' After all, history has shown that the nicest, sweetest, people historically speaking are usually the ones that end up getting assassinated, whereas people like you and I, usually get what we want and stay in power because we use hostility and fear.
Vincent(smiles back): Yep, and who better to use for fear than us evolved humans? (He switches on the TV)
(A brunette anchorwoman(Charisma Carpenter) announces the news: ''Hello everyone, my name is Sandra Kane and today's top story is that a 26 year old man, Aaron Fletcher (photo of him is displayed frowning, he's played by Ben Foster) recently set fire to his ex-girlfriend's home a week after they ended their relationship. He is currently being held at Bayview Correctional Facility where he will await his trial for one week.)
(Vincent turns off the TV and looks at Lyle again, his eyes wide.)
Lionel: I think it's time we let him talk, wouldn't you say?
Vincent: Of course. (he unparalyzes Lyle, he immediately gets up and starts panting heavily)
Lyle: What have you done with my sister and Gretchen?
Lionel: Don't worry about them. They're in good company, Kat is your sister's cousin, after all.
Lyle: You better let us go! (Lionel uses his telekinesis to push Lyle back to the ground)
Lionel: Now, now, there's no reason we can't talk first. Why don't we talk about you, you must get tired of hearing about Claire so much, am I right?
Lyle: I don't know what kind of sick game you're playing, but I don't want any part of it!
Lionel: No games, let's talk about the truth instead.
Lyle: What truth?
Lionel: The truth is that you're jealous of Claire. She's always been different, special. Not only has she been the apple of your father's eye, she was one of the most popular girls in school, and I'm sure the fact that she had a power made you even more jealous didn't it?
Lyle: That's not true!
Lionel: Come on, Lyle. You can't tell me you've never wondered what's it like to have an ability like your sister has. It's only natural to want to have power, to want to have it all? I can give you that kind of power, if you let me. I can give you everything you've ever wanted, and as a journalist, I can make you famous, you'll achieve immortality.
(Lyle stares at Lionel angrily, but then looks down on the ground, thinking about what he's saying. Before he can say another word, the door has broken down on the floor)
Vincent: Who the hell was that?
(Noah, Gabriel, Syn, Sandra, Peter, Adrian, Eli, Angela, The Haitian, Ray, Laura, and Matt enter the living room)
Noah: That was me and a group of very powerful and angry people, coming to make you pay for what you've done to my family!
(Cut to next scene. Parvati, Mirei, Saki, Raj, Lucia, Micah, and Monica are wandering around a dark corridor unseen by anyone as Mirei has made them all invisible)
Mirei: Ok guys, remember the rules. No talking, so no one hears us.
Raj: Please, like anyone can hear us. Anyway, why do I have to be with all you girls? I can paralyze people, that's what I should be doing out there, kicking arse with the blokes, not girl bonding.
Micah: I'm a guy, and I'm not complaining. I love being around great heroes like you guys.
Saki: Oh thanks sweetie, you're so cute!
Micah: Ummm, thanks! (He doesn't mine being called cute in a childish way, despite his age)
Raj: Although, I do get to spend some time with Mohinder's sexiest cousin, the lovely Parvati.
Parvati: If you don't shut up, I swear I will levitate you and throw you down on the ground! (She's actually smiling though she's glad he can't see it)
Raj: Oh feisty, aren't we? You know I had a girlfriend once who like you resisted my-(he stops himself, and looks down on the floor glad she can't see him try to hold back his tears)
Parvati: What is it? What's wrong?
Raj: Nothing, I don't want to talk about someone I love who's dead, ok!?
Parvati: Wait, what-(She's cut off by a familiar voice)
(A young, sneaky female voice): Well, well, look who's here.
(They all stop, breathless with fear as they find themselves in a dimly lit room that looks mostly abandoned except for Kat, Claire and Gretchen. The other two women who are on a glass wall, tied by ivy and roses from Kat, and both of them are unconscious.)
Micah: You better let them go!
Kat: I'd rather not. ( She sprouts out an ivy stem that heads for Micah's neck, but Monica uses her adoptive muscle memory to sprout a stem from her own hand, and has it grab Kat's stomach as she cries out in anger)
Kat: Oh, so you can think you can use my ability against me, you stupid bitch?
Monica: Either you let them go, or I make you.
Female voice(off-camera): We'll see about that.
(They all turn around to see Lane in a black leather skirt, jacket, and shirt)
Lucia(face has a look of horror): No, please Lane, don't be like this!
Lane(walks up to her): It must be so hard to look in the mirror and see my face, knowing that I'm the stronger one, the one that actually puts her powers to good use, instead of using them to protect people who want us dead! You and Mirei are weak! You've always been weak!
(Mirei becomes angry and moves to attack her but Lucia holds her hand tightly and stops her before she raises out her hand and uses telekinesis to slam her against the wall)
Lane: Oww! That hurt, but don't worry. This'll hurt even more(She gets up and reaches out to attack her, but Parvati uses her speeding ability to run behind her without her noticing, and pulls her quickly and Raj paralyzes Lane before she can escape)
Raj: You can let go of her, my work here is done. (Parvati lets go of her, Kat and Lane begin to walk away, they turn to look at her before going)
Lane: Don't think this is the last you've seen of us. We'll be back, Lionel's got big plans for one of your own.
Kat: That's right, you're going to lose another person you love, to something that'll be worse than death to you all.
(A man shouts from a distance: Claire! It's revealed to be Noah, who comes running in with Sandra and the others)
Sandra: Oh, my baby! You're all right! (she runs to her hugging her tightly and crying)
Claire: Oh Mom, I'm so glad you're here.
Sandra(lets her go to look at her closely and notices all the cuts and injuries on her body): You're hurt!
Claire: Don't worry about it. (she uses her cellular regeneration power to heal herself while Sandra looks on, still amazed by her daughter's ability)
Claire: I can do that remember?(she smiles)
Sandra(smilee back): Come on, you're coming home with me for the weekend. I've got Lyle and your father thinks that it's best you spend time with me for now.
Claire: Can Gretchen come with me?
Sandra(looks at Gretchen and pauses for a minute before answering): Of course. (Gretchen smiles)
Claire: Hold on a minute, I want to talk to Mirei.
(Mirei and Gabriel are standing together and she's laughing at something he said while he smiles at her)
Claire: Um, excuse me?
(They turn around to look at Claire awkwardly)
Claire: I need to talk to Mirei alone.
Gabriel: Oh, sure. I'll see you tomorrow(he and Mirei hug quickly and smile at each other before he walks away with Peter and the others, with Ray talking about whether they should have Chinese food or pizza.)
Mirei: What is it? (she looks concerned)
Claire: Mirei, in the past five months, you've been one of the best friends I'ever had. I've been able to share my power with you, and you've been so understanding and supportive. (she smiles)
Mirei(smiles back): You've been a great friend to me too. I hope we can continue to be friends and fight alongside each other.
Claire: We can but,(smile turns into frown) you have to promise me something.
Mirei: What is it? I'll do anything for you.
Claire: You have to promise you won't fall in love with Sylar.
Mirei: I don't understand. I mean, I don't feel that way about him, but he's a good man now. He wants to redeem himself.
Claire: He says that now, but it won't last. It never does. People like him don't change, and if you do fall in love with him, then you're my enemy too. So do you promise?
Mirei: I promise. (she tries to smile and hold back tears)
Claire: Good. I knew I could count on you. Bye.(they hug before Claire heads to her mother's car, smiling at and waving Mirei as she and Gretchen drive away with Sandra)
(Mirei begins to walk away, and turns invisible to find a place where she can teleport herself to Ray's apartment without anyone noticing. ( Her cover version of Be Be Your Love by Rachael Yamagata plays in the background)
(She sighs and stands at a quiet street with few cars around and starts to teleport to join her friends for a celebratory dinner at Ray's apartment, but gets a call from Angela before she does, the song at this point is over)
Mirei: Hello, who's this?
Angela: It's Angela Petrelli. I believe you know why I'm calling.
Mirei: Look, I already promised Claire I wouldn't fall in love with Gabriel. I don't need to talk to you about it.
Angela: I have to disagree. I don't think you fully understand my granddaughter's animosity towards Gabriel. She has thought of killing him in the past, and might still be considering it. I know from my dreams that you won't be able to keep that promise, so I'm warning you that your life may be in danger.
Mirei: She wouldn't hurt me.
Angela: How can you assume you know my granddaughter better than I do? There will come a time where you have to choose between Claire's friendship or Gabriel's love, and trust me when I say this, you can't have both.
Mirei: I'm going to have dinner and have fun with everybody, living my life my way, not according to your dreams.
Angela: So be it. Just don't say I didn't warn you. (she hangs up)
(Mirei closes her eyes and teleports herself to Ray's apartment, forcing herself not to cry)
(Lane and her boyfriend Cho(Daniel Henney) look on with amused smirks on their faces)
Cho: Seems as though she's like you, she's got a thing for the bad boys.
Lane: She wishes. There might be a way to reducate her, and Sylar's a powerful asset. Lyle Bennett could be useful to us as well. What do you say?
Cho: Sounds good to me. (They walk off into the dark together, evil smiles on their faces)
Cut to black. Credits roll.
