108: Sum Quod Sum, Part 1


[Introduction: Elle Bishop was fired from the Company after her father's untimely death at the hands of Sylar...]

(Setting: London, England.)

Elle Narrating: (Big Ben in the distance) When you grow up inside the Company you kinda don't get a chance to be a normal kid, meet boys, go to college, see the world.

Elle Narrating: (London Bridge in the distance) Sylar killed my dad. Angela fired me form the Company. So here I am. Consider this my study abroad.

Elle Narrating: (red van explodes in the background) I can tell when I'm being watched. I don't know what he wanted. And I don't care to know. I've got my own problems to deal with.

Elle Narrating: I just lost control of my ability. (accidentally zaps a Buckingham palace guard's rifle, causing it to come out of his hand.)

(Later in a bathroom, after getting out of the shower that caused her power to go crazy.)

Elle Narrating: Pain, I can deal with. (later in line for the subway, her power arcing through the electronics nearby). It's the attention I don't want.

Daphne: (Joins Elle in the subway car) Consider the problem we took care of on the bridge a freebie. If you want to stop feeling like you just stuck a knife in a toaster, give us a call.

(Daphne hands Elle a Pinehearst business card that states:
www.pinehearst.com
PineHearst Company
26877 Century Drive
Fort Lee, NJ 87024
877.309.7463
then Daphne whizzes out of the subway car and out of sight.)

Elle Narrating: The last thing I need in my life is another company.

Elle Narrating: (At a soccer match) Finding him wasn't as hard as I thought. As much as I hate to admit it, being an agent is who I am.

Elle Narrating: (Later in a bus, unknowingly sitting in front of Lee and Abigail) Going to HRG was way out of the question, so this was my next best option.

Elle Narrating: (As night falls, Elle finds herself inside a London Eye capsule.) I knew he could provide me with answers. The hard part was figuring out how to approach him...which is when he approached me.

Claude: (Coming out of invisibility, grabbing Elle by the throat) Why are you following me?!

Elle: I need...help.

Claude: Well you asked the wrong bloke. Tell your mates at the Company to stay the hell away from me.

Elle: Claude wait! I left the Company.

Elle Narrating: Chasing an invisible man, this should go well...

(Claude brushes against pedestrians as he runs away.)

Elle Narrating: The rain will help me track him. (Claude's footsteps are noticeable) Water and my ability don't exactly mix, but I have to stop Claude before I loose him for good.

(ZAP...both fall unconscious to the ground)
