Where does it come from?

This quest, this need to solve life's mysteries with the simplest of questions

can never be answered.

Why are we here?

What is the soul?

Why do we dream?

Perhaps we'd be better off not looking at all.

Not delving, not yearning.

That's not human nature.

It's not why we are here.

How's he doing?

Sorry, did I scare you? No.

No, I just keep having these amazing dreams every time I close my eyes.

Never mind.

He likes me to read him the stock page.

Is he unconscious at all?

No.

It's been a week now.

I think he's close.

A couple more days, maybe.

You know, I don't know what he'd do without you.

You had a real gift.

Just doing my job.

Oh. You're like a son to him.

Well, that would make us like brother and sister.

It might be a little awkward if I ever wanted to ask you out.

I'm sorry.

That was inappropriate.

No, it's sweet.

I'm dating somebody.

Yeah, no, really. It's okay.

I need to change his IV.

I'm sorry.

Man is a narcissistic

species by nature.

We have colonized the four corners of our tiny planet.

But we are not the pinnacle of so -called evolution.

That honor belongs to the lowly cockroach.

They say that man uses only a tenth of his brain power.

Another percent and we might actually be worthy of God's image.

Unless, of course, that day has already arrived.

The Human Genome Project has discovered that tiny variations in man's genetic

code are taking place at increasingly rapid rates.

Teleportation, levitation, tissue regeneration.

Is this outside the realm of possibility?

Or is man entering a new gateway to evolution?

Is he finally standing at the threshold to true human potential?

I'm sorry, I'm out of time.

I know, I know, I'm beginning to sound like my father. I can't help it. You

know, they can fire me too, if they like. But there is something to it,

As crazy as it sounds.

What is it?

It's your father.

He's dead.

How? Driving a taxi in New York City is a very dangerous job.

The wrong fare, the wrong time. We may never know what really happened. No, I

spoke to him two days ago. He was convinced someone was following him,

steal his research.

He died because of his stealing. That's crazy.

Is it?

The man left his family.

discredited his career to chase vile theories halfway around the world.

Where are you going? To his apartments to get his papers, his research. He was

this close to finding the first of them. His faith in zero. He tracked him to

Queens, New York. Mohinder, listen to me. Your father was my colleague and my

friend, a respected professor, a brilliant geneticist, but he had clearly

touch with reality.

I followed in his footsteps.

My thesis is based on his research. Yes, you always wanted his approval.

And now you are telling me that it was all for nothing. I'm telling you.

To let go. I need to know why he died. I need to know that it wasn't all for

nothing.

And then I need to finish what he started.

Hello.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm in his place now.

No, no, no. He left everything behind but his computer.

Research. The map.

Yeah, let's get a team in here to bag and tag everything.

I'm going to call you right back.

Better slow your Mustang down.

Micah, don't do that to me. Do what?

You need to be careful.

All right?

And I don't want you talking to any strangers. Do you understand?

I'm just working on my computer.

The logic board was bad, so I had to build a new one.

A new one.

Did anyone ever tell you the smartest little man on the planet?

You do.

All the time.

What's this?

It's a pinhole camera.

It's for the eclipse.

The moon's going to cover up the sun today.

We're supposed to look at it at school. Speaking of which, you need to go get

ready. You can't be late.

I'm already dressed and I've packed my own lunch.

That's what I've been doing this morning.

What about you?

Don't get smart with me.

I've been working to pay our bills.

Yeah, that's why they turned off our gas again.

Go grab your stuff and wait by the back door, okay?

Why? Quick.

Mom, what's going on?

Never mind. Just keep your voice down and stay close to me.

Yeah, almost.

Hold on.

Looks like 70, 80 feet. This is so unreal.

Okay, I'm good.

Okay.

Oh, my... Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Claire?

Oh, my God.

This is Claire Bennett.

That was attempt number six.

You get out here, yeah?

Yeah. Sorry.

Thanks.

Mr. Linderman, I'm gonna have to call you back in five minutes, okay?

Thank you.

I'm late. I've got a fundraiser and a drinks meeting. It happened two more

times. Sometimes I'm falling, sometimes I'm lying, but sometimes you're in them.

I don't have time for this now. They're not just dreams, Nathan.

Hold this.

I thought they'd go away, but they're not. Jim, I need this back by six,

This morning, when I got out of bed, my foot hovered before it hit the ground.

It hovered for a split second, like I was floating.

I'm telling you, I think I can fly.

You've only decided?

Tell you what, you think you can fly? Why don't you jump off the Brooklyn

Bridge? See what happens. Maybe I had to start with something a little lower

first. It's like learning to walk. You're serious.

Oh, I'm serious.

You need to snap out of it, Peter.

See a doctor.

Get some drugs.

Do not pull a Roger Clinton on me, man. I'm eight points down in the poll. This

isn't about you, all right?

Something is happening to me, and I have this feeling that you're the only

person who's going to understand. Why the hell would I understand that you

you can fly?

Because you're my brother.

Mom, look, I can't talk right now. I've got to... What?

I'll be there in ten minutes.

What's she doing now?

She got arrested.

Arrested for what?

Shoplifting.

I'm so depressed.

What? What are you talking about? Why?

Besides the fact that it was so gross, I almost fudged myself.

This isn't the single coolest thing to happen to this town in like a hundred

years.

Not if nobody finds out.

Why'd you want me to take you?

I have my reasons.

I still can't believe you asked me.

You stopped talking to me in like sixth grade.

Say for this way.

Why? Because I'm not popular, so no one will believe me even if I did tell,

which I won't.

Something like that.

It's not like you're not going to be popular anymore.

Popular?

Who said anything about being popular?

My life as I know it is over, okay?

I've got the Bishop game next week, SATs in October, homecoming three weeks from

today, and I'm a freak show. You're being a little dramatic, don't you

No, I don't think.

I busted like every bone in my body.

Stabbed myself in the chest. I've shoved a two -foot steel rod through my neck,

and I don't have a scratch on me.

What do you call that thing sticking out?

Great.

Just give me the tape, okay?

I can give you a ride on my handlebars.

If you want.

That's okay, I'll walk.

Look, thanks, okay?

I'll talk to you in front of people at school tomorrow.

Promise.

Surat Al

-Fatihah

What do we have?

Give me a count.

Clear.

How the hell did they know we were coming?

Railroad schedule from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Not for transporting nuclear material.

Right.

Not much, Al. A couple of notes here.

Mostly Arabic.

Odessa. What the hell is this, the name?

It's a town.

What?

Odessa.

What's that?

He asked me about that town in Russia, I think.

What are you talking about?

What

do

you think, CIA or FBI?

That's just too nice for FBI.

Saw the test scores got posted this morning.

Don't worry about it, man. Not everybody is a test taker.

Who wants to be on SWAT anyway?

Too dangerous.

You all

right,

man?

You come here, son?

You're not authorized to be in here. Wait a minute.

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Now the train is registered to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and there

been no official statement yet as to what was in the car.

But judging by the amount of security around here, it's pretty clear it was

something very valuable.

Death to Texas, I'm Laura Lancaster.

I want a lawyer.

You leave me the rest of your cell, I'll think about it.

Until then, no one knows you're here, which means no one will know if you're

not.

You found him, didn't you?

You found the engineer.

He's here in LA.

Where is he?

Who are they?

This is LAPD jurisdiction.

We need to take him into custody. He stays here till I tell you. He leaves.

Who's the engineer?

Amid Halibi.

Saudi national with a PhD in nuclear physics.

He's the 20th terrorist on 9 -11 until he did show up for the main event.

Turns out he fell for an American girl he met a few months earlier. September

10th, 2001, he went off the grid.

They tracked him here?

He brought the girl back to bury her. She died of cancer. Funeral was

He's back on the grid.

He's the amazing Karnak you're asking me to answer. Who is he?

Matthew Parkman.

He's eight years on the force. No commendations, no disciplinary actions.

Son distinguished so far.

You, come with me.

Help me understand.

How did you know he was in there?

Uh, I don't know. I don't. I just did.

If you know where the engineer is, I think you better tell me.

The what?

You recognize these?

Switching codes for rail transport.

Top secret nuclear regulatory routes.

Nuclear material, nuclear devices. Meaning, anyone with these codes could

a lot of havoc if they decided to send two trains down the same rail line.

But you don't know anything about that, do you?

No, ma 'am.

I've seen your file here that you've taken the exam to advance to the SWAT

three times. Yes, sir.

You realize that there are physical requirements.

I can... I can lose the weight. How's that make you feel, son, flunking that

test that many times?

Embarrassed, I guess.

Angry?

Angry enough to do something about it? Take revenge in some kind of way? You

think I have something to do with this guy? Do you? I'm telling you the truth.

I... I heard his voice.

Are you someplace you gotta be? It's my wife, yes. I have a meeting.

At a what?

At a therapy session.

Just couples counseling. We're... We're having some trouble at home.

Yeah, I was real sorry to hear about your father.

He seemed like a good guy.

Man, I thought I was a slob.

They were here too.

What?

Nothing. I got a guy who can clean this up for a hundred bucks. No, it's all

right. I'll take it as it is.

We rent by the week.

I'm going to need to know he can afford it.

I have a job.

Doing what?

Driving a taxi.

I'll get you an application.

What is it this time?

I won the space -time rental!

That's great.

No, no, really, really. I was able to go back in time for a second just by

thinking about it.

That's great.

If it was a time -lapse, it would have been better.

I'm serious.

That's why.

Now I know why I went to the subway this morning.

I was 14 seconds late.

That's a lot.

I've never been late once.

You used your psychic powers to make it happen.

That's right.

I discovered a power that transcends human common sense.

Yes, yes.

You and Spock. Yes, Spock. That's right.

Hey! Hey,

Spock! Use the test clip!

Test clip!

Your son is a very intelligent boy.

Gifted, actually.

That's not the issue.

His father's not around, and sometimes I think he could use a bit of a stronger

hand, you know?

I work nights a lot, but we can both work harder.

It's not about the work.

The truth is, I just don't know if this school is the right fit for him. But

he's made friends.

I'm sorry.

He's on the soccer team.

I'm sorry.

I wrote a check for $25 ,000 to get him into the snob fest.

I was told that that's what it took.

That's on top of the tuition.

About the tuition, your last three checks have bounced.

Fine, take it out of the $25 ,000 that I gave you. That was a donation, and it

was very appreciated.

Well, I want my money back.

I want my money back now. That money went to the capital campaign for the new

wing. It's already been spent.

Then unspend it. I'm sorry.

We can maybe discuss an extension of the money that you owe, but I don't... I

want my money back.

That's not possible.

Come on, baby, let's get out of here.

You're good for this, lovely.

Mom?

Leave me alone.

Drop the charges.

I have to fill out a form. No big deal. No big deal? I'm running for Congress.

Do you have any idea what this is going to do to me if it gets out with our

family's past?

What could you possibly need so bad that you had to steal it?

Never mind. I don't want to... Socks.

Socks.

Dad left you a fortune. What are you thinking? You know, it's been one

ridiculous stunt after another with you for the last six months.

Dad's gone. Just get over it. You know what? Leave her alone.

She's okay. That's all that matters. Thank God Mom's fine. She's a criminal,

thank God she's okay.

Next thing you know, she's going to be telling us she's a crack whore. I've got

to keep this out of the press.

You know what? Let's get out of here. Go worry about your image. I'll handle

this. Yeah.

Good. I've got to make sure this stays buried.

Thanks a lot, Mom.

What were you thinking?

I just wanted to feel alive again.

Who cares about himself?

Father was the same way.

Alpha dogs, both of them.

You, in the meantime, for all your selflessness and sitting with dying

What? You gonna retire on what you make?

Maybe I'll shop with my socks.

Don't get smart.

When you put everyone else first, you end up last.

You always put Nathan first. He took advantage.

It wasn't you that was just pushing him right out in front of me?

He takes up more space than you.

Demanded more attention.

And besides, it's not my fault you allowed it. He's my brother. I love him.

Oh, love is overrated.

And he loves me, too.

You know it.

You've always been close.

Those colored glasses.

That's cruel, Mom.

Look, since Dad died, I know you've been feeling free to speak your mind, but it

wouldn't hurt to edit yourself every once in a while.

I'm sorry if the truth hurts.

I'm just saying you hero -worshipped him.

And those feelings were never returned.

You're wrong.

It's biological, and I can't help it. We're... We're connected.

I never told you this, but when Nathan had his accident, I knew it.

We all got the same call. No, I'm saying before the call.

Like he was telling me, 300 miles away.

I woke up, and I knew that he'd been hurt.

She doesn't even have any book to read.

Baby, I'll be right back. I'm just going to go and pack up a few things. You

should really go see Dad.

Go with that, too.

He could help. He should know that someone's trying to hurt us. Your dad's

in any position to help us right now.

Look, I made some mistakes.

I admit it. Mom, what'd you do?

Hey, I need you to know that I would never let anything happen to you.

Why do you look at yourself like that in the fish tank?

How long?

Just a couple hours, Pop.

There's some ice cream in the fridge.

Oh, God.

What happened? I went to see Linderman.

How much? Thirty.

You gambling again?

No, it's just bills.

I used the rest to get Mike into private school.

I don't know what to do with him in public and... Just that Nathan would

that we had money.

From the mob?

Hell, Nikki.

You weren't born yesterday.

Two weeks overdue.

I mean, I thought that I could handle it, okay?

Just that I'm under a lot of stress right now, okay? Gee, I wonder why.

I feel like I'm kind of losing it a little bit.

Like? Like I keep feeling like someone's watching me. Yeah.

Linderman wants his money back, so he sent some mouth breather that's going to

put you in the hospital. It's someone else.

It's someone that I can't see.

Does this make any sense to you?

No.

I'm sorry. You know what?

But I'll tell you what does. I shouldn't be telling you. No, no, let me tell you

what does make sense.

You need to come up with that 30 grand plus interest now, or you gotta run.

One,

two, three.

Cool, huh?

How hot do you think it is in there?

Turn on the camera

I'm okay. I'm fine.

Snow burns.

I missed

you, Amid.

Our bond is too strong to be broken by a woman.

We are bound by our beliefs.

I don't believe in anything anymore.

We trained together, prayed together, went on hajj together.

We're still brothers.

Flatter yourself.

Everything you planned is coming to pass.

The computer virus got us the NRC switching codes.

It's all happening right now.

We derailed a train in West Texas two hours ago.

We have the device.

When we get the plutonium, we'll meet up in Idaho next month.

We just need you to assemble it.

What makes you think I would do that?

We started this together.

We need to finish it together.

Allah forgives you.

So do I.

We can't do this without you.

Because of her, isn't it?

I killed someone I love.

I killed my own wife.

I will not kill anyone else.

talking about.

She died of cancer.

I read the obituary.

When they bombed our camp in Pakistan, you and I buried 20 children that day.

We dug their graves with our own hands, put flowers on them, cried, said

prayers.

Just because you found love doesn't make the rest of the world stop suffering.

People don't respond to love. They respond to action.

I'm sorry.

There was a big bust this morning. Can we still make it?

Sure. Six minutes ought to be plenty of time to fix our marital problem.

And you're the one that wanted to do this, remember? No, I wanted it for us.

Okay, you're unhappy.

That's a problem.

Oh, right. It's my fault. No.

I didn't mean that.

I didn't pass.

Again.

If you think that makes a difference to me, then I'd never put any pressure on

you to move up. I don't care.

I just want you to be happy for a while. I want to be where the action is. I've

told you this.

I am not going to retire a beat cop.

People get their dreams. Why can't I?

We've been together 11 years, Matt.

I've made my dreams come true. How long are we supposed to wait for yours?

Why don't you just tell them the truth?

Yeah, that's a great idea.

I'll just walk in there and tell them I can barely read.

I mean, half the words I see backwards, the other half I can't even see. People

have dyslexia, Matt. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I know there's so much

stress right now, honey. You have no idea.

Yeah, well, so am I.

I actually think there's something wrong with my ears, my hearing.

Well, then go to a doctor. No.

Honey, listen to me.

I'm hearing, like, voices in my head.

Like a crazy person?

Telling you what to do? No, no, no.

It's more like thought.

I'm hearing people's thoughts.

You know what, Matt? I have to go, okay?

I'll see you at home.

No. Please, listen to me.

I can't stand it anymore. You suffocate me.

What are you doing?

Hello? It's 2 .30 in the morning. Who is this?

You've been looking for me.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you for returning my call, Mr. Siler.

How did you find me?

Mr. Siler?

Anyone there?

Using the Human Genome Project, I created an algorithm that mapped and

chromosome changes in...

It's very complex to describe in layman's terms.

I'm sure you have lots of questions.

Oh, I have questions.

Lots of questions.

Am I good or evil?

Are we cowards or heroes?

Does God even know the difference?

St. John of the Cross said there are two sides to a man's soul.

These two are at war within all of us.

Has God abandoned me, Professor?

I know how confusing this must be, but you need to know that you are not alone.

There are others.

How is it manifesting itself for you?

Manifesting itself?

That's good.

I have so many questions for you.

Can I meet you somewhere, someplace safe?

There's someone following me, so...

What time does that one leave?

And it takes, like, what, a couple hours?

Well, can I just buy it there at the station?

Who are you talking to?

Nobody.

Great. I'm going down to the corner for a pack of smoke.

You want to come?

I'll be right back.

Easy, Nathan, but consider it gone.

I know. I owe you big on this one, Tom. I'm not going to forget it. I won't let

you forget it.

Thanks. Sure thing.

Mom's wrapped. She's now officially buried.

Only took half my political capital to pull it off.

Why can't she get herself a hobby like a normal person?

They were married 41 years.

It's a plea for attention. She's lonely.

Give her some time, will you? I don't have time.

I've got eight days to make up ten points.

I need all the help I can get, which is what I want to talk to you about.

I want to offer you a job.

A job? Yeah.

I trust you.

You're good with people.

I need a coordinator to help organize the volunteers, and you got nice guy

instincts, I could use that.

I'm a shark, Pete.

Everybody knows it.

I've been starting to show up in the polls.

I bring you on, it kind of reflects well on me, you know what I mean?

Yeah, all right, so I make you look good.

That's a new one. That makes me look like I put family first.

I mean, I know that sounds self -serving, but this is for you too,

You got to think of your future.

Why do you do that?

Do what?

You can try to make it look like this has something to do with me. I mean, you

didn't hear anything that I said earlier today, did you?

About how you can fly? Yeah, I did. I'm going to pretend for both our sakes you

didn't say anything like that. I'm trying to do the right thing here.

Looks like I already have a job.

Yeah, watching old people die, now there's a career.

It's not cute anymore, man.

The dreamy kid sitting in the back of the classroom staring out the window.

It's time for you to grow up.

Look, I cast a big shadow, Pete. I get it.

Life isn't fair.

But there's nothing I can do about that.

I'm trying to do the right thing by you, okay?

I want your pity.

Make a corner of a center and canal, please.

Wow.

Solar eclipse?

Yeah.

Yeah, I wonder if it's going to be total.

Not here, no.

Some other part of the world, yes.

A global event.

Makes one appreciate just how small our planet really is.

And we're all quite small, really, aren't we?

What's your name?

Mohinder.

I'm Peter.

Let me ask you something, Mohinder. Do you ever get the feeling like you were

meant to do something extraordinary?

I'm driving a cab, you may have noticed. No, I'm not talking about what you do.

I'm talking about who you are.

I'm talking about being special.

Yes, we are all special.

That's not what I meant.

Some individuals, it is true, are more special.

This is natural selection.

It begins as a single individual, born or hatched like every other member of

their species, synonymous, seemingly ordinary, except they're not.

They carry inside them the genetic code that will take their species to the next

evolutionary rung.

It's destiny.

The last train home.

Birds pass by to tell me that I'm not alone.

We'll put you and myself, finish this part, handle a lot. One

thing I miss.

Welcome home.

Get over there.

Fifty grand is a lot of money. Fifty?

It was thirty, even with interest. Linda Min wants to be nice about this.

You should have read the fine print.

Look, I have a son.

I'm all you've got.

Please,

I can get you the money.

I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

I'm going to make you a little business proposition.

You make, what, 40 bucks for every 20 minutes you take off your clothes?

Well, I'm going to give you a chance to lower your debt a little and see where

it goes from there.

Come on.

Come on, show me what you got.

Look up your shirt, baby.

Look at that belly.

It's a mile.

What's the matter, baby? We just gotta get good here.

What's the problem, baby?

I said, what's the matter?

Screw you. Screw me?

. .

.

Toh!

Hey!

Oh,

God. What, asylum treatment?

Oh.

I just... What the hell is wrong with you?

Isaac!

Okay, stop.

What? What, are you crazy?

Clearly.

I don't even remember painting these.

I was high, okay? I liked it.

I've been chasing for months. Well, then get yourself back into a program and

make it thick this time.

These are fantastic.

They're evil.

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about?

You know what I'm talking about?

You see this?

Suicide bombing in Israel.

I painted it three weeks ago. Yeah, so?

So?

That's this morning's paper.

Look at the number on the bus.

This happened yesterday.

Yesterday.

That's a coincidence. You were high.

For all you know, you could have painted it this morning.

No.

This is what I painted this morning.

Something's...

wrong with me.

Okay, we'll get you some help, okay, Isaac? I've tried that twice.

There's only one way left.

You can't go cold turkey. Not alone. I mean, let me help you, please.

No!

I'll drag you down with me, I swear to God I will.

Just leave me alone.

I don't

know. Is this okay?

Superheroes don't use their power for themselves. Then what do you want?

To teleport to the women's toilet?

I'm sure you don't know where you're going, but you can learn it in the

I got it.

If you don't mind, I'll teleport you to the women's toilet.

Okay, see you.

I'll go get some beer.

Tim said nothing's done.

Church is very plain, so I... Not like I don't love it.

That's all.

Love isn't a pie. It's just something to go around.

I'm incredible.

The rest of me is incredible.

Quiet. The smallest moments.

God is within me always.

Captain!

Captain!

Captain, I've got to talk to you.

I can find out where they are.

Where who are? The rest of the cell. What are you talking about? How? The

way I found him. I just... I have to ask him.

And I'll need a translator. It's going to be in Arabic.

Arabic? Yeah.

If he knows, I'll find out. But, uh...

There's a condition attached.

Thanks.

Where to, my friend?

JFK, please.

Long home to my family.

Business trips wearing me out.

Suresh, huh?

I'm sorry?

Your name.

And your license there.

That's Indian, yes?

I was a professor, Suresh, at the University of Honduras.

Geneticist. Interesting theories.

I don't think he's teaching anymore.

But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

Probably lots of Suresh's where you're from.

Like Smith.

Or Anderson.

And Carla had the nerve to tell me he's not breed worthy.

Like he didn't win five all -breed rallies, two regionals. She says he

look sexy enough to breed. Can you believe it?

It's just not true, Mr. Muggles. It's not true. He's a lady's den muffin.

what he is.

Still humps my leg when I watch TV.

All right.

Enough about Mr. Muggles.

What did everybody else do today?

Doug and I saw this Mexican guy.

A homeless dude on the way to school.

We thought he was dead, but he wasn't.

I thought Dad was coming home today.

Well, I was going to surprise you. He finished up early. He's coming home

tonight. Isn't that great?

Just in time to read my report card.

So what about you, Claire?

Do you have anything special today?

I walked through fire and I didn't get burned.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? God, you're so crazy sometimes.

Lyle.

I think I know exactly what you mean.

Here I am talking dogs again, and you go and say something really profound.

We come up against all kinds of fires in our lives, and when we test ourselves

and face our fears, we usually don't get burned.

You are very wise, sweetheart.

Whatever it is you did, I'm proud of you.

And so is Mr. Muggles.

He's just so proud of Claire.

Aren't we? We're proud of Claire.

Yes.

I went to the women's toilet.

Hey, you're a pervert.

I teleported.

Stop it.

It's impossible to get rid of the space cancer.

Then you can die.

Okay. Our population is 12 .5 million, but no one can beat the space cancer.

You're the same.

No, the question is why do you want to be the same as everyone?

That's why I want to be the same as everyone.

Yes, that's right. I want to be the same as everyone.

Yogurt. What?

Yogurt?

But I want to be special.

We're not special.

We're Japanese.

That's fine. Stay here.

You can stay here with everyone else.

I want to go to a world where humans are not special.

Hiro. Hey!

That's right!

You're special!

What are you looking for?

Morphine. What for?

I need you to come with me someplace.

Where? You'll see.

Look, there's something I need to tell you. That is going to have to wait.

No. Look, I need to tell you about that.

I need to stop living for other people. My whole life, I've no idea what I'm

supposed to do, what I'm supposed to be.

I'm going to have a destiny of my own. I promise you we will talk about this

later, okay? But right now, I really need you to come with me.

You're a nurse.

You can give out a shot.

You can help.

Help who?

I thought we could go to the movies this Saturday.

Maybe try on some shoes at the new mall in Gardendale.

Sure.

I love you, Mom.

But?

No buts. I just wanted to tell you.

No, you think I'm trying to be your best friend again. Admit it. No.

It's all right. We can go to the movies together.

It's no big deal.

I just miss you.

That's all.

I want to be your mom.

I want to...

Give you advice, but I don't want to push you away.

I want advice, I do.

I won't push you away, I promise.

I just don't think you should be so worried about fitting in all the time.

About being so popular.

I don't want to see you make mistakes like I did. I wanted to be someone more

interesting than I am.

You are interesting.

You breed show dogs. Whose mom does that?

No, I wanted to hitchhike across Europe, study art, fall in love with some

poetry quote in Frenchman.

Not that your dad isn't wonderful, but my point is, you should know who you are

and know that it's enough.

Because who you are is special.

About that.

There's something I need to say.

Something I never talked about because I thought it would upset you and Dad.

Sweetheart, you can say anything to us. You know that.

I think I'm old enough for you to tell me who my real parents are.

I'm glad you're home.

Me too.

Such a headache. I slammed my head getting out of a taxi cab.

Hi, Daddy.

Hey, baby.

I'll ask you one more time.

And only one more time.

Are you in?

You found me seconds before I died.

How is that possible?

Fate.

Fate.

Maybe I was not meant to die.

And maybe she was.

Allah is merciful.

He always has a plan.

He has a plan for you, Amid.

You'll help us.

It's your purpose.

Bring me a glass of water.

The device you stole.

You will need more plutonium.

How do you know that? Not just plutonium.

You'll need enough P -235, enough beryllium mixture.

And you'll need a lot more to take out your target.

A lot more. Where do we get it from?

Untie my hands.

Six months ago, I woke to something extraordinary.

An ability.

A curse.

Where it came from?

I don't know.

But now, I think it might be my purpose.

I can emit 45 ,000 curies of radiation from the palm of my hand.

Enough to give cancer to those I love.

Enough to detonate a 5 megaton thermonuclear device.

You sure your ride's coming?

Yeah, I'm sure.

You be careful, son.

I'm just saying it's impossible, okay? Nobody can predict the future. Isaac!

I brought someone here to help. He's a nurse.

Isaac!

Isaac!

Isaac!

Maybe he went out. I don't know.

Isaac!

Simone!

Oh, my God.

Isaac? He's alive.

Call 911.

Turn again.

Yeah,

I'm at 215 Reed Street, number 7. I need an ambulance here immediately.

Somebody's cut off his hand.

No, no, he's conscious.

Did you find something? I think there's some towels in the sink.

Okay, baby, it's okay.

They're sending an ambulance right now, okay? You just hang in there, okay?

This need to solve life's mysteries.

In the end, what does it matter when the human heart can only find meaning in

the smallest of moments?

They're here.

Among us.

The shadows.

The light.

Everywhere.

Do they even know yet?

All right, I'm here.

Now what do you want?

Peter?

I've been up here all night, thinking about this, thinking about my destiny.

What you doing, Pete?

It's my turn to be somebody now, Nathan.

Come on, Peter, quit screwing around.

How did you?

Why?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Oh, God.

Peter. Nathan.
