Volume 4 Fugitives began in Heroes Season 3 Episode 14. HRG rounded up all the heroes and put them on a plane. Claire broke on to that plane and freed them, which was going so well until a big hole got torn in the side of the plane.
The pilot managed an emergency landing, but the plane broke apart when it hit the ground. Some of the prisoners have escaped.
Hiro, Parkman, and Suresh are together and hiding from the search party.
Claire and Peter are also together and running, until HRG pulls a gun on them. He doesn’t pull the trigger, though, and Peter runs away. HRG doesn’t believe anybody will know anything, and the evidence will be destroyed to make sure of it.
They no longer consider those onboard prisoners. Rather, they’re terrorists who must be wiped out.
As Peter’s running, he comes across Tracy, who he convinces to go with him and fight.
Parkman’s under a trance and begins drawing. Hiro and Suresh want to see if they can blend in… by first ditching the bright orange jumpsuits.
Ando’s in Tokyo trying to get a flight to Arkansas (the place Clinton’s from) because that’s where he thinks Hiro has been taken. Daphne shows up to find him and has a faster way to get to Arkansas.
Suresh suggests that Hiro should turn himself in because he’s no use without his powers. Hiro refuses and still wants to be a hero.
Parkman’s drawing leads him to believe that Daphne is in trouble.
In New Jersey, a kid named Luke is being yelled at by his mother Mary Campbell for getting into a fight. When he arrives back home, there’s a strange guy in his living room, a guy who apparently made Sylar angry judging by his hands being staked to a chair. Not getting anywhere with Special Agent Simmons, Sylar’s decided that now he has to torture them in front of him.
Ando and Daphne arrive and see the soldiers and the cheerleader. Daphne dashes off because Hiro must be alive since Ando kills him in the future, and she wants to make sure that he stays alive.
Peter’s only got one power. He doesn’t know why, but he can only hold on to one power at a time, losing the old one as he picks up a new one. Tracy knows how Nathan thinks because she thinks the same way (yet she didn’t see this kidnapping bit coming).
Claire’s not happy with her father (either of them), as usual. They want her to just go off to college and pretend like none of this has happened. Daphne speeds in and grabs Claire. Nathan warns HRG that Claire’s running out of favors. HRG responds with blackmail, asking what the hunter would do if he knew he was one of them, too.
Parkman and Suresh arrive to find Ando, and Claire and Daphne arrive at the same spot, the place from Matt’s drawing. Then Hiro joins them. As she’s planning how to get the people out of there, Daphne’s shot. Then Claire gets shot. Parkman uses his powers to get the shooter to turn on his own men.
Sylar’s captives want to know what they ever did to him. Nothing. Wrong place, wrong time. Really no difference between him and a flood or tornado. He decides to turn his attention toward Mary first, and he doesn’t think Luke will really mind. This is enough to draw Luke into using his powers.
Claire’s been captured again and is freed again. HRG tells her to go home and live a normal life, and he’ll do what he can about Peter and the others.
Nathan gets a call from Tracy. He promises she won’t be hurt if she gives herself up now. She’s got something he wants: Peter. This gives her some room to negotiate.
Sylar wants to see Luke’s ability, the ability to melt, burn, or boil things, kind of like a microwave. Sylar accuses Luke of lying a lot, but he’s telling the truth when he says that Mary hates her son. As they’re talking, Simmons escapes and grabs a gun, which is the last thing he’ll ever do considering he’s melted and all. Mary thinks Luke is a freak, and Sylar is none too pleased because he just killed the one shot he had at finding his old man. Sylar will do Luke a favor and let him live. As Sylar’s walking away, Luke says he knows where his father is.
Tracy and Nathan arrive at the rendezvous point. If she delivers Peter, she gets to go free. Peter comes out of the woods with a gun, but Nathan’s got some people with guns behind him to back him up. So Peter grabs Nathan. With his new flying power, Peter goes free, but Nathan wants Tracy captured. Nathan thanks HRG for not shooting Peter when he had the chance.
Based on Parkman’s drawing, the heroes are planning to head to India. Hiro wants to get his powers back. Parkman wants revenge. Peter warns that they have to leave everything behind because everything’s been compromised anyway.
Sitting at home pondering getting a part time job and sticking around for a while, Claire gets an anonymous text message from “a friend” saying there’s still hope and a chance to fight back.
Angela won’t give Nathan reassurance this won’t all end badly.
Nathan returns to see Tracy. He tells her he won’t help her. As they’re shoving tubes into her, she yells “You’re one of us” repeatedly.
