Dale's Body Shop. Dale's working on a car when suddenly she stops because she hears something. She rolls out from beneath it and looks around frantically. Sylar appears in the shadows, and Dale says that she didn't hear his footsteps. "That's because there weren't any," he creeps out at her. "Also, BRAAAAAINS." "That sound," she says. "In your heart. What is it?" "Murder," he sneers. Heh.
Mama B's Hospital Room. Claire's sitting with her mom. The doctor shows up, and Claire asks if her mom's going to be okay. The doctor tells her that her mother has a subdural hemorrhage on the area of her brain that controls memory. The doctor asks if her mother's condition might be the result of domestic abuse. Claire then spills the beans about the Haitian Sensation's special power, and the doctor totally doesn't believe her and says she's going to tell Bennet what Claire said. Claire says she's telling the truth, but the doctor just walks off and ignores her.
Cemetery. Matt and Ted meet up, and Ted tells him that he found out what the hash marks on their necks are. "They're tracking us," he says. "Like animals!" "What the hell's that supposed to mean?" says Matt. "The truth!" says Hana, appearing from behind him. Matt pulls his gun on her and asks Ted what's going on, and Ted says that Hana's a friend and that she's like them and that she turned him onto the hash marks. She says the marks come from a pneumatic needle that contains a radioactive isotope that's used for tracking viruses in Africa. "That's what we are to them," says Ted. "A virus. A plague." Well, which is it? A virus or a plague? Or totally awesome? They really need to make up their minds on what the powers are. In Ted's case, they really are kind of a virus, because who the hell wants to be radioactive? Matt lowers his gun and asks who "them" is. Hana says a shipment of these needles went to Primatech Paper and that the tracking slip went to Bennet. Matt says he's already been down this road and it led nowhere. Ted says that he had his blood tested and the isotope is in him. "Ted, you're radioactive BY NATURE," snaps Matt. Hee.
Matt wants nothing to do with this and says that he and his wife are starting a family, and he wants to put all this crap behind him. Ted says he can't do that because they have to find out what Bennet did to them and fix it. Matt points out that if they really are being tracked, then Bennet will know they're coming. Ted doesn't care; he can get them through any wall there is. But he needs Matt to get inside Bennet's head. "He can't lie to us if you're there," Ted says. He goes on to say that he can't do this without Matt and that if they can save themselves, they could possibly help others. "We could be heroes!" he says. Say it with me: Just for one day! You know you said it out loud. You know you did.
