Part Six - Influence - Part Two

DECEMBER 2, 2007

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

Wide-Pan shot of a busy diner at around 9 in the morning. Two men sit down at a booth. One is more visibly nervous than the other.

Glenn Slidell - "Why are we out in the open?"

Donovan Huntsman - "We're hiding in plain sight. Besides, Building 26 is just a shredded file somewhere in Washington DC, now."

[Volume 4]

Rhonda - "What'll it be, boys?"

Huntsman - "Scrambled eggs. Overeasy. With coffee. Decaf."

Slidell - "French toast. Oh and a orange juice."

Rhonda nods and walks away.

Slidell - "But don't you ever get the feeling like you're being watched?"

Rhonda walks over to the cook's area and lays down the duo's order.

Rhonda - "Order Up!"

A hand reaches over to grab it off the rack. The camera follows the hand to its owner. It's Trevor, dressed in a white cook's outfit. He’s watching Slidell and Huntsman.

EARTH SPINNING, MUSIC, HEROES

Slidell - "What are we going to do about John. He's not around and he's not calling us back."

[iStory: Purpose and HSG Event Urgent Requests]

Huntsman - "Forget it. We still have to deal with that Watcher nutjob."

[iStory: Purpose and HSG Event Urgent Requests]

Slidell - "We could ask them for help."

Huntsman - "Good luck with that. No one's seen any of them since that stunt Keegan pulled last month. They don’t want to be found."

[The Beginning of the End]

Slidell - "Once the Watcher finds them, things will be different."

Huntsman - "Maybe. I'm going to go take a leak."

Restroom. The camera is blocked off on the back of Huntsman, the top half of his body at a urinal. It appears he is done and is about to walk away. The camera zooms onto the back of his head then zooms out. A gun is now rested on it.

Trevor - "You forgot to flush."

[Sin City - The Big Fat Kill]

Huntsman - "I don't have any money, man."

Trevor - "I'm looking for your boss. Have seen him? American, 200 pounds, light complexion, medium build, big overcoat and hat, rewinds time. "

[iStory Purpose: Too Many Options - John Mulligan's Assignment Tracker file]

Huntsman - "Mulligan? He ditched us. I have no idea where he is."

Trevor - "I'll settle for a phone number."

Huntsman - "No problem. Take my phone. His number is saved on it."

Trevor - "You're too kind."

Huntsman - "While you're here, mind if I pick your brain?"

Trevor - "Not particularly, but go ahead."

Huntsman - "Our co-op is after the Watcher, freaky guy who overquotes Shakespeare and blackmails factions in his spare time."

Trevor - "Went after at least one of our own. A Level 3 threat at most."

[Assignment Tracker topic]

Huntsman - "He can manipulate nerves; make himself invisible or give you the worst form of acupuncture. His game is to disrupt communications between us. That's the problem."

Trevor - "Get a telepath. Or a couple of techno's."

Huntsman - "We want to end him. But we don’t know how."

Trevor - "You've done some recon, obviously. Coordinate a surprise attack. Since you have no leader, use calculated guerilla tactics to catch the Watcher offguard."

[HSG Event Urgent Requests - January 2010]

Huntsman - "I like that."

Trevor - "Since there's no bad blood between us, I'll send four of Undaunted's best to help your little outfit. "

[HSG Event Urgent Request - January 2010]

Huntsman - "Really? That's grea…"

Trevor knocks him out with the butt of his gun. He drags Huntsman into a stall then flushes the urinal.

Exterior - Alleyway - Trevor is taking out the trash and walks over to a dumpster. He pulls out a bag from the dumpster and reveals a clean set of clothes. The camera wanders to the street and looks at pedestrians walking and going about their day. The camera returns to Trevor. He is dressed in a double breasted trench coat, black slim cut dress shirt, black slack pants, black dress shoes shined, a black wool fedora, aviator frame sunglasses, a holster hidden by the trench, and a briefcase. Trevor pops the collar of the trench out and walks out into Seventh Street. He disappears into the crowd. An ambulance soars by.

UNDAUNTED - in Heroes title font - graces across the panel.

INFLUENCE - PART TWO: JAMAIS VU- in Heroes title font - pasted on the ambulance

An upscale building. Trevor goes into a crowded elevator and stands in the middle. Typical elevator music plays. A six year old girl drinking a juice box looks up at Trevor.

Stephanie - "You're wearing a black hat."

[Volume 5 "Once Upon A Time In Texas" - Pistol Petey]

Trevor - "I like black."

Stephanie's mother puts one of her arms around her. The elevator dings and the door opens. Trevor steps out. He rounds the corner and enters a room. It is a waiting room. He walks up to the front desk.

Trevor - "Checking in. I have a 10:30 appointment with Dr. Harvey."

Betty - "Yes, thank you, Mr. Suzuki. I will let Dr. Harvey know right away. Please have a seat, she'll be with you in 5 minutes."

[Trevor Tanaka's Assignment Tracker file - Sam Suzuki is a previous alias]

FIVE MINUTES, THREE SECONDS LATER

Dr. Morgan Harvey walks out into the waiting room with a client. She says something inaudible and puts her hand on the man's shoulder. He suddenly smiles, nods, and leaves the room. Harvey turns to Trevor with caution.

[HSG - Morgan Harvey is a member of Undaunted]

Morgan Harvey - "This way, Mr. Suzuki."

Trevor - "Please, you know you can call me, Sam, Doctor."

Morgan - "Of course, it's just been so long, Sam."

Trevor sits down on Harvey's chair. Morgan closes the door and locks it. She sits straight and upright on the client's chair. There is silence for awhile.

Morgan - "How is everyone? I haven't kept in touch since I started practice here…"

Trevor - "Everyone is safe. In the shadows, in the light. Finding their way back home."

[Volume 5 - Pieces of Samuel Sullivan's speech in "Orientation"]

Morgan - "You're not here for clinical depression, Trevor, so tell me why you came all this way to visit me?"

Trevor - "I've been investigating this event that happened recently. And interestingly enough, it began from a chain of urgent requests that we never got around to answering. Then all of sudden, they stopped right around the time we found out they were indirectly connected to you, Morgan. Now, he's back causing a lot of trouble here in New York."

Morgan - "The Watcher."

Trevor - "Yes."

Morgan - "I told you everything. He was blackmailing me, wanted me to find out about a Gabriel Gray and to use me for my ability."

[iStory Slow Burn Chapter 8]
Trevor - "I know. I need you to tell me what it felt like."

Morgan - "What?"

Trevor - "You worked for Primatech. Went through the human resources training. Swam around in morally gray for awhile and hunted people like you and I. Yet, this one insignificant posthuman scared you. Why?"

Morgan - "He's a megalomaniac with an ineffable sense of destiny and is obsessed with taking power and destroying those who have what he never can."

Trevor - "Or he is a severely narcissistically wounded individual with major paranoid tendencies and holds onto an illusion of omnipotence. He spends his days fighting the reality of his insignificance desperately and seeks to re-establish a sense of self-esteem through grandiose fantasies and self-reinforcement."

Morgan - "A fanatic."

Trevor - "Only 2% have a lifelong prevalent condition like this. Primatech hasn't run into much of those, have they?"

Morgan - "No."

Trevor stands up, picks up his briefcase, and is about to leave the room. Morgan walks to her desk. Both have their backs turned to each other.

Morgan - "There are no more Level 5's to hold the Watcher."

[Volume 3]

Trevor - "Who said anything about letting him live?"

Morgan turns around. Trevor is gone.

Muted montage begins.

Trevor - Whose woods these are I think I know.

Trevor walking forward to the camera amidst a busy mid-day crowd of people.

Trevor - His house is in the village though.

Morgan sitting at her desk with her fist over her mouth, staring out into nothingness.

Trevor - He will not see me stopping here.

Seal kneeling down in the graveyard in the second Garden of the Gods.

[The Beginning of the End Part Three]

Trevor - To watch his woods fill up with snow.

Azuteor crashes a faction's building down to the ground.

[The Beginning of the End Part Two]

Trevor - The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.

Sparkplug turns into pure electricity and rips through Keegan's clones.

[The Beginning of the End Part One]

Trevor - But I have promises to keep.

Leona Mills stands before Trevor and Seal.

[The Beginning of the End Part One]

Trevor - And miles to go before I sleep.

Trevor stares out into the bamboo forest.

[Undaunted Chapter One]

Trevor - And miles to go before I sleep.

[Stopped By Woods On A Snowy Evening - Robert Frost]

Trevor stops at Times Square at a crowd watching the screen. News footage of Senator Nathan Petrelli's death plays with pundits in squares talking inaudibly. Everyone leaves but five, including Trevor. The camera winds around and reveals Kurt Hasian, Kupe Nukarmoi, Athena Leuce, and Samuel Whitman. Trevor is explaining something to them. They all agree. Kupe holds out his hand and a key appears. He unlocks a nearby car and the four get in and leave. Trevor stays and looks up at the screen. It now displays a large photo of Nathan Petrelli with with two lines of caption. The top reads "In Loving Memory" and the second reads "1967-2007."
