"What's going on?" asks Peter, sensitively attuned to the inner workings of his brother's mind. Nathan tells him that the district attorney wants him to prosecute Linderman, his dad's biggest client. If Linderman's mob ties run as deep as the DA thinks they do, when they take him down, the whole "empire" will crumble. Peter reminds him that if he takes down Linderman, their father will go down with him. Nathan points out that Peter used to accuse Papa Petrelli of being a criminal for protecting criminals and that this is their chance to set the record straight and clear their family name. "He's still our father," says Peter. "No matter what he's done. You go after him? You're never going to forgive yourself." Nathan grabs his brother around the neck and plants a kiss on his head and then Roxy Music starts playing on the stereo and they start making out as god intended. Or Heidi just enters and starts spasmodically flailing her limbs around in an effort to entice her husband to the dance floor.
Casa de Suresh. Papa Suresh is pinning a picture of Nathan to his Map of Heroes. Gabriel Gray arrives and Suresh shows him a book full of medical images. Gray asks if Suresh is going to cut him open and Suresh just laughs and laughs. "Oh, no! That's later! After we have some nag paneer!" He tells Gray that he wants to run him through an MRI, and Gray observes that this means Suresh is trying to map the brain. Suresh says that the brain controls every action, whether it's voluntary or involuntary. It also controls every breath, heartbeat, and emotion. "If the soul exists," he says, "scientifically speaking, it exists in the brain." Gray chuckles and tells Suresh that, when he was a kid, he used to wish that someone would come and tell him his family wasn't really his family. Wow. That's one nihilistic kid. I used to wish I was Princess Leia's younger sister and that I would wind up married to Han Solo's younger brother and that we'd live on one of the moons of Endor, but I never wished my family wasn't my own. Then again, I was an only child who loved Duran Duran and thought that our new Betamax player was the bomb, so what the hell did I know?
