I'm Malsky.
Matt Parkman. Here to protect you, sir.
If saving the world wasn't hard enough,
we now have two Heroes going head to head
and it's going to get ugly.
Get your hands up!
We got two people, two Heroes,
that are trying to kill each other.
We got the guns, we got the gun action, she throws me out of a window.
There's a big struggle there
You can't do this!
Against this maintaining of order, and this embrace, you know, energy.
You have to stop!
It was exciting to see this two characters that you kind of appoint for,
one you're a little bit confused about, but love,
and this other guy was just trying to figure out what's going on.
Who's gonna win?
Nobody knows.
It's pretty exciting.

Jessica really has emerged as
the more dominant personality of the two.
What are you so mad about, Niki?
You're the one who wanted to be locked up.
No.
She is going about break and income into the home in the only way she knows out, which is
killing people.
Baby, there's a package for you over on the table.
Thanks.
She's become Linderman's hired assassin,
and goes on jobs for him... whenever it cost.
I understand. The guy stole his money, he wants him dead.
Mr. Linderman wants, Mr. Linderman gets.
At this point you realize that Linderman is kind of like the puppy master,
and he has is hands in everyone's lives.
You're going home.
- It's not possible. - Oh, it's more than possible.
The charges against you have been dropped, Ms. Sanders.
Ok, how deep is this guy go?
The D.A. dropped the entire case.
To where he can influence someone's life like that.
Get dressed, Ms. Sanders. You're going home.
Like that, she's released.
No.
Now they all realize that...
it's gonna take a lot more than just returning the money here,
and meeting to a crime to escape the rich of Linderman.
Matt Parkman is incredibly frustrated.
He's been kicked off the Force.
Officer Parkman, is this really the statement you want entered into your public record?
That a paper salesman from Odessa, Texas, is currently harboring a...
super-powered serial killer, and that you raided his warehouse on a hunch?
He goes in front of the review board, that story is not gonna hold up in court.
At this time, I'd like to recant my previous written statement.
I made the whole thing up.
The fact that he can read minds is just ludicrous.
We're enforcing a six-month suspension of your active duties.
We're gonna need your gun and your badge.
And they have to suspend him, so he takes a job.
Is this standard issue for bodyguards?
Bodyguards? We're not called "bodyguards" anymore, honey. It's "private security."
He doesn't realize that he's just being pulled into this web, with Linderman.
I'm basically a glorified babysitter, nothing's gonna happen.
I hope not.
He's escorting this guy across the street, and you see: there she is.
She is just waiting.
And she wants to kill the guy that he's guarding.
As Jessica hunts down her prey,
she is dressed to kill, with a look to die for.
In the assassin look I was very influenced by that Mrs. Smith idea
having been in a really tight fitting suit, or a vest,
or something that just has a real edge to it, but
from a little bit of a corporate vibe to it,
and I think it worked really well for her, she wears them so beautifully.
It's a very intense character, so the colors reflect that.
And I kept the palette very harsh, so it's
there's a lot of black and white.
In a world always aiming for the male audience
what beautiful female is in television that's just the nature of the beast,
and she is so extraordinarily beautiful.
She makes anything sexy.
So with this beauty on the prow,
Parkman has a beast of a juvenile's hands.
He cannot catch a break.
Let's see the diamonds.
Stones range from two to nine carats. My offer is more than generous.
Not that it matters. Linderman's guy will be here soon. You won't get out alive.
Sir, this is a setup.
- What, how do you know that? - I just do. You have to trust me.
Just when he thinks he's making a little bit of money, and he is escorting this guy,
the guy has stolen money from Linderman.
Take this. There's another one for you when you get me out.
- No, no, you can't bribe me! - I don't want to die.
I hear what I think are two people.
Two in the bodyguard, two in the bodyguard, then Malsky gets one in the guts.
That scene and it's off is just genius.
This is the first time that you see Niki and Jessica...
in habit the physical plane, at the same time.
This should be fun.
And the first person that's ever been able to hear her talk to her alter ego
You're chasing two men with a gun in broad daylight.
You call that laying low?
Which is a great thing, that's a great twist.
- You can't do this! - I have to.
Somebody is gotta repay Linderman.
Matt thinks that Jessica is working with Niki.
You made the deal to get me out of jail?
I couldn't leave it up to you now, could I?
He senses both of their name at the same time, but
doesn't really know... the extent to which it goes.
I love that I'm like...
Where's your partner?
And... she has no partner, she's actually been talking to herself.
Partner?
Come on! Your partner! I heard you arguing with her... Niki, right? Where is she?
You really haven't seen two of the main characters kind of interact.
Not since episode six, where D.L. and Jessica go at it.
Fourth one over, third one back. Fourth one over, third one back.
Now Matt is taking the brunt of Jessica's savagery.
Me again.
She makes quick work of him.
I get thrown out of a ten-story window.
At that moment people didn't know: "Am I dead?"
My stuntman is incredible and he did such an amazing job.
They built a platform attached to the building,
two stories down, so he took a two-story fall, blind fall.
That was through a real window, 30 feet above the street in downtown L.A.
We created a large platform outside the window
to catch him and we had our stuntman hit an "air ram",
which gave him the power to go quite a bit the distance through a candy-glass window.
Shatters through the window and tumbles two stories,
and lands on a platform, and there's a guy down below, with padded...
pad up suit and a big sort of mattress thing, and waiting to catch him.
He almost went off the platform.
And through a combination of CGI and a head for heights,
this death defying effect is brought to life.
The overhead shot shows them ten stories down, the cars pull up...
that was shot on a soundstage over the one next door here.
They built the side of the building and they built a sign and I went out there.
The guys who do post-production, they just really know their stuff.
They're green floor, and then they put in what they had shot outside the building,
previously, and so it really, it matched up perfectly and it was seamless.
As a stunt coordinator, and being here on a week-to-week basis,
sometimes working with visiting directors,
helping them to understand what the action is,
or what the look is that we have, making sure that we display the powers
of our actors consistently from one episode to the other.
Adrian, you're ready? I'm ready.
Thank you. April, you're good? Ok. Quite and roll camera, please.
Because we have different writers and different directors from episode to episode
so my challenge and what I've been asked to do is to
try and help have a cohesiveness through from episode to episode.
I don't have to do anything!
Except fly.
On their journey so far, our Heroes have had more than their fair share of cuts and bruises.
With every crash, bash and bump overseen by an expert team of stunt men and women.
Who said that saving the world was ever gonna be easy?
You make a big mistake!
Some of the most notable stunts I think that we've done and some that came to mind right now,
one would be the ratchet,
which is a nomadic device in a wire, that propels people at pretty high speed.
We've done that with the Sylar double into a refrigerator.
Find him. He dies!
Jessica, who's pretty strong, she enact D.L. all the way across the room.
Mom? Is everything ok?
Everything's fine.
Your dad and I are just moving forniture.
I've a very good stunt double... Vernon Lewis, who is fantastic.
And he's rigged up with a vest, and a harness, and there's a cable, and...
guys were outside the set, and when they give the call,
they just pull on this thing and he goes flying.
I'm glad he's there on those days because I'm getting a little long in the tooth
to slamming myself into walls.
I'll let the professionals deal with that. I'll just take the lines, thank you.
After Matt Parkman also suffered on the hands of Jessica,
Greg Grunberg had to endure some hardship of his own.
I gotta tell you, it's exciting and scary to see it played out at ten stories up.
It was just as nerve wrecking for me at 12 feet off the ground.
You know, if you fall from 12-15 feet, you can still break your neck, ok?
Especially a guy my size, if I land wrong.
But that was me up there, I didn't have my stuntman that day,
but I did have Ian Quinn, our stunt coordinator, he was great.
One of the things that is always a challenge is so many of our actors
they're great, they wanna do a lot of their own stuff
and they're quite capable of doing all of their, a lot of their stuff, should we say.
But I have a responsibility as to when to say yes and when to say no.
And all that they have to do is even twist an ankle,
and that wouldn't be a terrible injury,
but it certainly would be terrible to production, because we weren't be able to continue.
Some of our cast members throughout the series have done some of their own stunts:
Milo has done a lot of the flying, he really is good in the harness,
so is Adrian, both of them have been
really championing at getting in the harnesses and doing a lot of their wire work.
You're flying, Nathan.
And Hayden, of course. It's almost impossible to get her allow me to use a stunt double,
she wants to do it all.
In the pilot, she actualy went into the burning boxcar,
and stood there for quite a period of time.
So, we have a very, very brave cast.
Scottie! Scottie! Come on!
I enjoy performing myself, and occasionally I have the opportunity to do some of the stunts myself.
I was the firefighter, in the pilot,
who actually put Claire out after she came out of the burning boxcar.
There's no burns.
I've been Sylar, when you didn't really know who Sylar was,
killing Suresh's father in the cab.
You know, as I'm a little bit older than most of the stunt guys
I gotta get in front of the camera, once in a while, to show them some of the old guys can still do it too.
But for poor old Parkman,
pulling a stunt of his own is going to change his destiny forever.
When Parkman's standing there and he hears his superior,
this fellow officer who's writing up a report about this crime scene and what happened,
when he hears the thoughts...
What a joke, Parkman. What a joke. Can't even do a decent job as a rent-a-cop.
He'll never wear a police badge again in his life.
It's the last straw. That's it. I'm on my own,
and I'm gotta take care of myself 'cause no-one is gonna help me.
They kick me off the force. The superior detective thinks I'm nuts.
I've got nowhere else to go, but in here.
And he takes the diamonds, he says: "Ok, I'm rogue".
I don't think I was doing a bad thing by taking the diamonds, I think just...
I've got nothing else but myself and I've gotta look after myself,
unless I solve this crime, I'll never be free, I'll never be able to have the family that I want.
You know, he needs to take care of himself, so...
no-one needs to know that he's got a bag full of diamonds.
Parkman! You okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.
That moment, in that episode, is really where...
some people say that you see the dark side of Matt Parkman...
but all of these characters are gonna be taken to a crossroads.
Yeah, I remember him.
Consider it done.
And, to get what they want may not mean following the rules all of the time.
So the next time we see Jessica, it looks like her killing spree is set to continue.
Mr. Linderman sends his regards. So much easier, working with professionals.
I think it takes it up a notch and you start to
wonder how many people is she gonna really interact with.
Is she going to take out everybody?
Everybody she interacts with? Or they've just a gun, or... I don't know.
