MOHlNDER: (NARRATlNG) The sun rises on a new dawn,

yet few us realize the debt we owe to those responsible for this,

to those who dwell among us, anonymous, seemingly ordinary,

whom destiny brought together to repair, to heal,

to save us from ourselves.

MOHlNDER: lf evolution can do this for even the smallest of creatures,

then why not these human beings?

If someone here found out about me, what would happen?

When will they stop?

I don't know.

She's a shiny new toy, and she's all mine.

MOHlNDER: (NARRATlNG) And they're still out there among us

in the shadows, in the light.

We pass them on the street without a gIance,

never suspecting, never knowing.

Do they even know yet

that they are bound together by a common purpose,

a gIaring reaIity, to be extraordinary?

MOHINDER: TeIeportation, tissue regeneration. These are no Ionger simpIy theories.

I have seen them with my own eyes.

MOHINDER: (NARRATING) And when destiny does anoint them...

My name is Hiro Nakamura. I'm from the future.

...how do they hide from it?

You may feel confined here,

but this is far freer a cage than the one they'd put you in.

MOHINDER: (NARRATING) How Iong can they dweII in the shadows before either fate

or their own fIawed humanity draws them out into the Iight again?

And how wiII they know what awaits them when it finaIIy does?

And not only are these special individuals among us,

they bear a curse,

a virus which strips them of their powers

and leads to their eventual death.

In the last few months, I have discovered what I believe to be a plague.

A plague which targets only these unique individuals.

It's a disease which threatens to eradicate them all,

and in doing so, deprives our species of its evolutionary advancement.

Without this advancement, the challenges of the modern world,

global warming, terrorism, diminishing resources,

seem almost insurmountable on our thin shoulders.

The fate of humanity itself hangs in the balance.

But with proper funding and research,

we can stop the advancement of this disease.

I urge each and every one of you to take up this cause,

spread the word and fight those who would keep the world from the truth.

Thank you all for coming.

Inspirational lecture, Dr. Suresh.

I was wondering if I could trouble you for an autograph.

Your father would have been so proud.

So would your sister.

Who the hell are you and why are you following me?

This isn't necessary. I'm nobody.

What, you think I didn't recognize you?

You've been at three of my lectures. Yeah.

The Company send you to bag and tag me? Is that it?

A year ago I would've run. But not anymore.

That's good. Because if you had, I wouldn't be able to offer you a job.

I've been down that road before. It doesn't end well.

Where will you go, Dr. Suresh?

No one even believes they exist.

I found your father's book in the parapsychology section,

in between hypnosis and alien abductions.

They don't take you seriously. They all think you're nuts.

But not me.

So if you're really interested in saving the world,

the least you could do is let me buy you a drink.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

All the electives I wanted filled up last semester.

Come on. It's your first day. You should be excited.

I am.

Well, that's easy for you to say.

You're not wading into the shark-infested waters of eleventh grade.

I don't have one friend. I'm shark bait.

You're gonna be fine.

They don't look any different from kids in Texas.

Okay. Except for her.

So maybe they're a little bit more sophisticated here.

But you're gonna fit right in.

(SIGHING) If you say so.

Just remember what we talked about.

I know. I'm Claire Butler. I won't slip up.

It's not just the name. It's everything.

Trust me, the Company is still out there, and they will find us

unless we're flawless with our plan.

From now on, you have to be entirely un-extraordinary.

Right. Don't stand out in any way.

Exactly.

Don't raise your hand in class,

and don't even think about trying out for cheerleading.

Oh come on, Dad. That's so behind me.

Just blend in. Be ordinary, all right?

Got it.

You know, we might wanna start by you not driving me to school.

It kind of draws attention to me.

Ouch.

And, you know,

don't you think it might be easier on all of us if I had my own car?

Your mother and I were gonna surprise you on your birthday next month,

but...

Oh, my gosh, the Rogue!

(GASPING) Thank you, Daddy. Thank you!

It's yours.

You're the best dad in the world!

I know, I know.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

Claire,

it's just...

I just can't help thinking about how many times

I've said goodbye to you on the first day of school.

I'm so sorry for everything I've put you through.

I hope you know how much I love you.

Come out with your hands up!

I just need to make sure everybody gets out of there safely. Okay?

Shoot her. I'm the hostage.

I'm the hostage! Shoot her! I'm the hostage! No! Shoot him!

No, no! I'm not. Shoot her. Shoot him!

Shoot him. Shoot her!

Shoot her! Shoot her!

WOMAN: No, no!

MAN: Do it. It's her. Shoot her.

Shoot her! Shoot her!

(BELL RINGING)

How did you know?

MAN ON PA: Okay guys, good job. Let's cIean this pIace up.

AII guns to the armory.

How did you know which one to shoot?

I don't know. Tone of voice. Eye contact.

The hostage looked me in the eye. The other was looking for an exit.

Well, most people notice the gun under the bad guy's shirt.

Right. Yeah. That, too. Of course.

You know, guys who get shot like you did,

they just take that workers' comp and call it a day.

MATT: I've been...

I've wanted to be a cop my whole life.

Four bullets to the chest aren't gonna change that.

Well, we were gonna drag this out, make you sweat.

But I figured, what's the point? Take that off.

I figured that you'd rather have a real one.

Well, you gonna take it?

MATT: Yeah. Yeah. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Turn on your Bunsen burners, people. And be careful.

BOY: You got a death wish?

Are you talking about that?

I was just seeing how hot it was.

Pretty sure it's hot. It's called a flame.

Yeah. I was just kidding around.

Like you were this morning?

When you stepped in front of my car?

No, it's okay. Made my morning interesting.

I'm West.

Claire.

You're new, right? Yeah.

So, what are you?

Meaning what, exactly?

Meaning, are you one of them

or one of the others?

I'm not sure I know what you're getting at.

Let me break it down for you. Are you a robot or an alien?

Because everyone in the world is one or the other.

Robots do what they're told. Stick with the herd.

Aliens, on the other hand, do their own thing.

Well, I don't know. Do I have to choose?

Most people do.

So, what are you?

PROFESSOR: Okay, everyone.

"In the struggle for survival, it is the fittest who win out

"at the expense of their rivals."

Now. Who said this?

(LAUGHING)

Guess what? What?

Max Grossman tried to kiss me today.

What? Mr. Parkman.

Yeah? Can I speak to you for a minute?

Sure. Can you give us a second?

Sure.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. I'm just a little concerned, that's all.

Molly's been falling asleep in class the last week or so.

When I asked her about it, she said she's been having some nightmares.

She's got kind of a big imagination,

and I realize that there's really nothing I can do about them,

so I'm just trying to make her feel as safe as possible.

About that. I know it's not exactly my place,

but your situation isn't the most stable.

My situation?

Your injuries, your divorce.

Look, my divorce is my business,

and all you really need to know is that Molly is loved and well cared for

and she's doing great.

She's struggling, Mr. Parkman.

Why? Why, because she's having a few nightmares?

Because of these.

She started drawing them a week or so ago.

Every day, they get a little worse.

Oh, my God.

And I have to ask you.

What is this?

It's in every single picture.

Excuse me.

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

What are you doing here, Ma?

It's time to move on, Nathan.

He's dead.

You don't know that.

Leave his stuff alone. He's gonna want it when he gets back.

(SHATTERING)

You're drunk.

Thank God your father isn't here to see you.

Or you, for that matter.

You killed your brother,

drove Heidi away, drove your kids away.

If you'd followed our plan, if you'd done what you were supposed to,

he would be alive now.

To think I almost listened to you.

You're evil, Ma.

Get out.

(EXHALES)

(SCREAMS)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(SWORD DRAWING)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Huh?

Can you excuse me?

You are late.

My daughter's first day of high school. Had to make sure she was okay.

And that's somehow my problem?

That shipment of toner cartridges came in last night.

I know. I was here.

And when exactly were they going to get installed?

Because I don't see anybody else here doing it.

I'm gonna do it this morning.

Uh-huh.

And if I wasn't here watching your every move?

You know, you've been here for a few months, Butler,

I think it's time I saw some commitment to excellence from you.

When I was assistant manager,

we were fully set before the first customer walked through that door.

That is how I got this.

Paper business is dog-eat-dog.

You gotta live it and breathe it.

You gotta want it. Do you want it, Butler?

Do you?

Yes, sir.

Yeah.

Well,

we'll see.

The Company was formed 30 years ago with a group of like-minded individuals.

Ordinary men and women who were gifted with extraordinary powers.

They wanted to help their own.

To find them, and to protect them.

We find people and we make sure they don't become dangerous.

Now, sometimes that can mean making sure

they understand entirely what they're capable of

and teaching them to use their abilities for the good of mankind.

And sometimes it can mean eliminating them.

Who the hell are you to judge who lives and who dies?

If I'm not mistaken, you yourself tried to put a bullet in the brain

of a man named Sylar.

He was a monster.

Yes, and you were willing to kill him for the greater good.

You acted on a moral imperative to protect your species.

It doesn't matter one way or the other about Sylar.

He's no longer a threat. He's dead.

And now you have Molly.

You and Matt Parkman are protecting her.

Now, we're not interfering with that arrangement. Far from it.

We're offering to help you.

We have resources to offer you, Dr. Suresh.

The plague you talked about, the disease which killed your sister, Shanti.

The virus. Yes.

We have the funds you need for your research.

Now,

can you imagine what would happen

if that virus mutated and crossed over into the general population?

Look, the type of research you're talking about is extremely expensive.

Trust me, that won't be a problem.

Let's just say we have our own private Fort Knox.

So, can we count you in?

Thank you. DELIVERY BOY: You're welcome.

Dinner!

Shouldn't I be eating some vegetables every once in a while?

(LAUGHS) Well, that is why I got you a vegetable pizza, smarty pants.

Plus, I got your favorite, Rocky Road, for dessert.

You're just trying to bribe me because you never cook.

I miss Mohinder. He cooks.

Hey. I can cook.

I just thought, why not order pizza, give us time to talk?

Hmm. Talk about what? This?

Does that mean you passed your detective's exam?

With flying colors. Why, you proud of me?

Depends.

Did you cheat?

(SCOFFS)

Why would you ask me that?

Pulling the answers out of people's minds, it's unfair.

No. It is my natural talent.

You wouldn't think a baseball player is cheating

because he's athletic, would you?

It's not the same, and you know it.

No.

You know what? I want to talk to you about these drawings that you made at school.

You're changing the subject.

Miss Gerber is concerned, and so am I.

You don't wanna talk about your exams. I don't want to talk about my dreams.

Molly, I want to help you.

I don't want you to be afraid.

I said I didn't want to talk about it!

Can I finish my dinner in my room?

Sure. Go ahead.

Robot.

So I'm a robot now, huh?

Far as I can tell.

Okay. Birdie, please?

You don't even know me.

You had the answer today. In class.

But you didn't say it. You don't want people to know that you are smart.

You just have me all figured out, huh?

I know a robot when I see one.

Come on, Martha, it's just a back flip off the tower.

And you know the girls will catch you.

(ALL GIGGLING)

Just leave her alone, okay?

Okay, one, don't know you,

I think Martha here has what it takes to be a cheerleader.

(CHEERLEADERS GIGGLING)

So you can do a back tuck off the tower?

What's the big deal?

If it's so easy, why don't you try it?

In fact, if you can do a back tuck off the tower,

Martha here's off the hook.

All right, I'll do it.

This should be good.

Oh, my gosh. He can see me.

Did you see him?

Did you see what he looked like?

Okay, you tell me where he is, and I will take care of him.

No. He's too dangerous.

If I tell you where he is, he'll kill you, too.

No. No, no, no. Nobody's gonna kill anyone. I promise.

(HIRO SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Oh, now there's a surprise.

(LAUGHING) You know, there's very few locals here with whom I can speak plain.

Thank God for you, young man.

(EXCLAIMS IN JAPANESE)

Sorry. Sorry.

So, I came over on one of the few trade vessels your emperor let pass.

The boat left full of tea, I kept on to find my fortune.

You should see what I get paid to fend off those bandits.

Kensei Takezo does not fight for money, he fights for honor.

Really? Well, as long as it's honor I can spend.

It's not a bad lot. I mean, I find a stout brute,

put him on a horse, put him on a field and tell him to shout on

about how he's fearsome old Kensei.

Then I repair to the branch of a tree

and start to pick off the blackguards, one by one.

That's fighting dirty.

That's fighting smart, sir.

I give him a fair wage.

If he lives.

No. This can't be.

No. I come from the future.

Many years from now.

Your noble deeds become part of our history.

(LAUGHS) The future? Yes.

That's a good one.

No, it is true. I know what happens to you.

As a boy I read the book, The TriaIs of Takezo Kensei.

How you killed the Black Bear of Sakashita,

your love of the swordsmith's daughter,

and you defeat the terrible white-bearded warlord

and saved the village of Otsu.

Otsu?

Do you smell smoke?

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

KAITO: I do not take death threats idly.

Someone is playing a trick.

Are they?

Charles Deveaux, Linderman, your husband,

all of them dead.

Now there are nine.

So you think one of us sent these?

Yes.

For the pain we caused. The people we have killed.

There is no end to our suffering.

I sought redemption by helping Hiro

fulfill his destiny to save the world.

How did you help your son?

Angela,

I am leaving for Japan tonight.

I suggest you disappear as well.

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Oh, no, I broke history!

Villages burn.

Those things happen.

But not like this!

The future may not exist as I know it.

No future, no cars, no Andos. No me!

Great Scot!

You mustn't fret everything, my very strange little friend.

Here, have some sake, it'll brighten your day.

No. Forget sake.

You are supposed to be a hero.

Being a hero never filled anyone's sack with salt and saffron.

It's a waste of time.

In the stories you are rewarded with more gold than the Emperor.

And you took the swordsmith's daughter, the most beautiful woman in all Japan,

for your princess.

(EXCLAIMS IN PAIN)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

She is the swordsmith's daughter?

And I don't think she wants to be my princess.

Wait! Don't leave!

No? No.

You have to rescue the swordsmith,

and make the daughter fall in love with you.

You have to become the legendary Japanese hero that you are destined to be.

You have to fight Black Bear!

You have to fight the 1 1 swords...

The only thing I have to do is find me a drink.

Come on.

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Eighty-six straight days of sunshine, you just can't beat that.

Right, Lyle?

I don't know. I guess.

So, Claire,

Lyle was saying that his first day at school was uneventful.

How about you, anything special happen?

No.

No. Nothing. I skated by unnoticed.

It was like I wasn't even there.

That's good, honey.

And how about you, sweetheart?

Me?

Anything interesting happen today at Copy Kingdom?

I made a calendar for

some grandparents, and a co-worker brought in donuts.

That's great.

I just think it's amazing how well we have all adjusted to our new lives here.

It's inspirational. Really.

The Bennets were given lemons and what did we make?

Lemonade? Exactly.

I'll second that.

We're all flourishing. Really. All except Mr. Muggles.

No one has any idea you won two regional championships,

five All-Breed rallies.

Poor little guy. I mean, how do you go back to the farm after you have seen

gay Paris?

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

I get it. I miss him, too.

I just...

I need someone to talk to. I don't know if I can do this anymore.

Do what?

Not be who I really am. And I know that I can't be who they want me to be,

and I just feel like I'm gonna burst.
