I'm sure there's plenty of apologies to go around,

in who was right or wrong anymore.
So much has changed since I saw you last.
I don't know whether those changes are good or bad,
but I really think
it has a chance to all work out.
And knowing how important you've been to all of this,
to so many people out there,
it's made me proud.
And I just wanted to call and tell you how excited I am
that we might be seeing each other.
When you look back at the things you've done,

Why did this have to happen?
It was a despicable and cowardly act--
Reduced to a wasteland-- The are the seeds of hate

This horrific attacks are a grim reminder
of the hatred and contempt--
Bigotry that says another person is less than my equal,
less than human.

Listen, I wanted to trust those evos.
I wanted the summit to work.
This kind of thing happening in our United States.
We can't just let them get away with this.
Who did this, and why?
We have got to go and attack the enemy.
We face bullies and tyrants and terrorists with strength.
And so we are newly reminded that serious threats
to our way of life remain.
Make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this...
Claire!
To bring those who committed this vicious attack
to justice.
June 13th will certainly go down in history
as one of the worst terrorist attacks--
- Will hunt down and punish... - Claire!
- Those responsible. - Will be brought to justice.
Hunt them down and kill them. Kill 'em all!

Coach Lewis?
Aw, jeez. You got to be kidding me.
Odessa, a once-thriving city
reduced to a desolate wasteland by a cowardly act...
- Password. - Of evil terrorism.
Cockroach?
Why Odessa?
It was the headquarters of Primatech,
a company steeped in secrecy.
Primatech opened its doors on June 13th
for what was to be a three-day summit.
People gathered from all around the world,
hoping to build a better future where humans and evos
could coexist in peace.
Within hours, an evil supremacist
named Mohinder Suresh claimed full responsibility
for the attacks.
Lies. All of it.
This is pathetic.
How the hell are we supposed to fight back
if we can't even organize?
We just got to get creative.
There's a guy in Los Angeles fighting back,
calls himself "El Vengador."
That dude in the Mexican wrestler costume--
that's a joke, right?
Is it? At least he's doing something.
I hear he's got a whole underground railroad out there,
fake IDs, fake blood samples--
it's a way to disappear.
One guy, so what?
Pretty soon, they'll send drones after us.
June 13th changed everything.
The public's scared to death of us.
Most of these incidents are isolated--
Tulsa, Cedar Rapids--
the vigilantes, a few bad apples--that's all.
If it was just vigilantes,
the government wouldn't be forcing us to register.
People don't get it.
It's not the government or the vigilantes
we should be worried about.
The ones really hunting us, they're in the shadows.
There's something else going on here.
And they're everywhere.
Oh, that's just great.
So what are we supposed to do with that,
chase ghosts?
My mom sleeps with a gun under her pillow,
when she sleeps at all.
And we use fake names most of the time.
I'm calling myself "Tommy" now.
No names, for God's sakes.
Now we're wanted in three states,
all because I can't control my power.

someone could give me a few tips,

On June 13th, my wife and I,
we brought our nine-year-old son Dennis to Odessa
to watch history being made.
It was a beautiful day. Sun was shining.
Summer heat was rising up off the ground.
Like everyone there, we believed in the cause.
We believed that the change
could come from that spot right then and there.
And then when I watched my--my boy die in my arms,
I realized that that just wasn't gonna happen.
You all seem like really nice folks.
You can't change who you are, what you are.
But these powers--
