"Officer Parkman, we're enforcing a six-month suspension." "We're gonna need your gun and your badge." "Nothing in my Iife has been real." "My dad obviously doesn't work in a paper factory." "He's gone now." "You're okay." "MR. BENNET:" "This is my friend." "He's gonna make everything okay." "Mom?" "claire?" "I was hoping you could tell me about my father." "Now, that's complicated." "He's kind of a big shot." "(PHONE RINGING)" "Hello?" "MEREDITH:" "You might not remember me." "We haven't spoken in a long time, but I just had..." "Our daughter just found me." "Did you hear what I just said?" "She's alive." "Meredith?" "We need to talk." "Nathan, are you still there?" "It's been 14 years." "I went to your funeral." "Look, that fire, it wasn't an accident." "Someone was out to get me, and the police, they just assumed I was dead, so I ran." "And our daughter?" "Well, she's got an angel on her shoulder, that one." "She was adopted by a nice family here in Texas." "She's 16 now." "She's beautiful." "She's got blonde hair like me, and she is smart just like you." "Maybe one day she'II run for Congress." "The timing of your call two weeks before my election, that's not a coincidence, is it?" "A child born out of wedlock, that's big news." "You wouldn't want that to come out." "Ruin things for you." "How much do you want?" "Oh..." "A hundred thousand?" "Yeah." "That ought to cover it." "I'll let you know where to send it." "Nice and easy." "Mom, are you okay?" "I've been better." "Oh, she'II be fine." "She needs a Iittle rest, little time to recover." "Recover from what?" "She had an appointment with a neurologist, who ran some tests." "What kind of tests?" "Your mother's been having some headaches." "Yeah, she's also been having some memory loss." "Did you tell them that?" "Of course, claire." "I'm handling it." "(DOOR CLOSES)" "Don't worry, honey." "I'II be fine." "Mr. Muggles isn't worried, is he?" "No, he's not." "NIKI:" "D.L. won't be fooled." "Sure, he will."

"(WHISTLES)" "Don't you look all secret service." "Is this standard issue for bodyguards?" "Bodyguards?" "We're not called bodyguards anymore, honey, it's private security." "Whatever you want to call it, it's paying the bills." "MICAH:" "Are we ever gonna talk about it?" "Talk about what?" "What we can do." "Our powers." "I just feel like we're supposed to be fighting crime or something." "That's true." "But for now, can you just have fun at school, my young genius?" "Yep." "AII right, baby, there's a package for you over on the table." "Thanks." "(DOOR CLOSES)" "Are you taking your gun?" "It's the difference between 500 and 350 a day, my carry permit."

"What's your name again?" "Parkman, Matt Parkman." "Listen, Parkman, the job is simple." "You drive me downtown." "We meet a man." "I make a deal." "Then you drive me back to the airport." "You just make sure no one bothers me." "That includes you." "MALSKY:" "Hope this loser knows how to use his gun." "Otherwise we're both dead." "My name's Dr. Mohinder Suresh." "It's very important that I speak with him." "(PHONE DISCONNECTS)" "I assure you my interest is legitimate." "My name is Dr. Mohinder Suresh." "It's really rather complicated to explain over the phone." "This is Dr. Mohinder Suresh." "There's a certain genetic trait." "(DISCONNECTS) Hello?"

"But now he's just horrible." "He even hit me once." "Your boyfriend did this to you?" "I'm sorry." "I Ieft this morning while he was sleeping, and then I forgot my bag." "It's pink and it has rhinestones on it, and it's got all my money and my credit cards." "It even has my family photos in it." "That I can't replace." "I should go up there and talk to him." "Maybe he won't be so mad." "No." "We will do it." "Eh?" "Excuse us, please." "(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)" "Hang on." "Did you two say something about Mr. Linderman?" "Yes." "You know him?" "No, not personally, but everybody knows who he is." "I know people who do." "That's great." "If we get your bag, can you introduce us?" "Yeah, I can do that." "We still have a problem." "How do we get past security?" "I have an idea." "GUSTAVSON:" "Who's there?" "ANDO:" "Room service." "I didn't order room service." "Complimentary, for high roller." "Ah, very nice room." "How are you today?" "You're done." "(SHOWER RUNNING)" "(IN JAPANESE)" "ZANE:" "Oh, God, hurry." "please hurry." "Oh God, hurry." "Hurry." "please hurry." "please hurry." "(DOORBELL RINGS)" "Dr. Suresh?" "Yes." "Yes." "Thank God." "Come in." "Come in." "I was starting to think you weren't gonna show." "I didn't know what I was gonna do." "I mean, look at what I'm living with." "Yes, I see what you mean." "I'm just a regular guy." "I mean, I've never been different, or special." "I mean, no one would even look at me twice walking down the street." "I guess I should show you." "Right?" "What I do, you need to see it, right?" "Yes, of course." "I haven't left the apartment for three weeks," "I'm going a Iittle crazy." "Maybe you should step back." "It can get a Iittle messy." "(SURGING)" "ANGELA:" "We reap what we sow, Nathan." "You have no one to blame but yourself." "I'II go down to Texas and handle it." "So close to the election?" "Don't be ridiculous." "If the press gets wind of this, especially on the heels of the Linderman scandal..." "I cared about Meredith once." "I owe her more than a phone call." "I owe them both." "Besides, I'm this girl's father, Mom." "You're a glorified sperm donor." "Don't get emotionally attached." "How can you be so cold?" "Because I know you, Nathan." "Beneath the gruff exterior, you're a sap." "And the moment that young girl looks at you with those sad, little weepy eyes, you're lost, you're finished." "You'II start giving, she'II start taking, until there's nothing left." "So prioritize, Nathan." "Wire the money to Texas." "Focus on the people who really matter." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "How's Mom?" "Your mother's resting." "So I understand you and Zach cut school yesterday." "Mom said we could." "It was for a report." "We went to the aquarium." "With these tickets?" "Printed from your computer?" "These fake tickets, claire?" "You're spying on me?" "I don't know where you were, and I don't want to know." "You're a teenager." "You need to assert your independence, but this behavior is unacceptable." "You're grounded, young lady." "You're to be home everyday at 5:00 sharp, until further notice." "What?" "You can't do that!" "You have no right!" "I'm your father!" "You're not my real father." "No, I'm not." "But I'm as close as you've got." "So you'II stay home at night until you earn our trust back." "(DOOR CLOSES)" "(PHONE RINGING)" "MEREDITH:" "Hello?" "Hi." "It's me, claire." "Do you have a second to talk about my father?" "Oh, hey, claire, I'm glad you called." "Talk about coincidence." "I found your father." "(GASPS)" "You're kidding." "What did he say?" "Well, after he got over the shock that we were both alive, he was actually kind of sweet." "Said he'd be happy to help us out, sounded real generous, too." "Says he's gonna fly right down from New York." "Well, I want to meet him." "Oh, right, well, I don't know about that." "But he's my father." "Right, well, why don't I talk to him, and we'II see what he says?" "You know what, Claire, I actually have to go, but I'll call you later, all right?" "I Iove you." "MALSKY:" "I've got the money." "Let's see the diamonds." "Stones range from two to nine carats." "My offer is more than generous." "DEALER:" "Not that it matters." "Linderman's guy will be here soon." "You won't get out alive." "Sir, sir, please." "We've got to get out of here right now." "This is a setup." "What?" "How do you know that?" "I just do." "You have to trust me." "You've got a deal." "I gotta run." "Who's Linderman?" "My ex-employer." "How do you know his name?" "Never mind." "Why has he sent someone here to kill you?" "Because I stole his two million." "I should have been out of the country by now." "Oh, great." "You stole the money." "How do you know?" "please, you've gotta get me out of here." "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." "JESSICA:" "Two in the bodyguard." "Then Malsky gets one in the gut." "Two in the bodyguard, then Malsky gets one in the gut." "She's in there." "This should be fun." "HOPE:" "I do all the work." "He takes half the profit." "I'm sick of it." "No, I got these two Chinese guys to help me out." "Turned on the waterworks, and they were mine." "Yep." "They're getting the suitcase as we speak." "AII right, I'II catch the bus from Primm and meet you in Barstow." "I Iove you, too, Leo." "Oh, hi." "I didn't see you come in." "You were on telephone." "Uh, with my mom." "So, where's the bag?" "We are not Chinese." "We are Japanese." "Whatever." "Where's the bag?" "You are bad person." "You may fool Ando, but you do not fool me." "Thanks for the help, Sulu." "(GRUNTS)" "(MALSKY PANTING)" "(WHEEZING)" "What are you doing?" "We can't stop here." "(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)" "Back up." "This way!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Go to the elevator." "You can't do this." "You have to stop!" "Don't worry, Niki." "I don't plan on being Little Miss Homemaker forever." "Just gotta lay low for a while." "You're chasing two men with a gun in broad daylight." "You call that laying low?" "This is my Iife, my child." "NIKI:" "You can't do this." "JESSICA:" "I have to." "Somebody's gotta repay Linderman." "You made the deal to get me out of jail?" "I couldn't leave it up to you, now could I?" "The elevator's not coming!" "Come on!" "Who are you calling?" "Back up." "You can't bring the cops into this!" "Terry, hey, it's Parkman." "I'm working security." "Diamond District, Sixth and Broadway." "I've got a shooter, possibly two." "Send everyone you've got." "(GUN FIRING)" "(GROANING)" "Come on!" "AII right, you go to the other side of the building." "Cops will be here soon." "I'II buy us some time." "Drop your weapon." "Over the side, right now." "Okay, where's your partner?" "Partner?" "Come on, your partner." "I heard you arguing with her." "Niki, right?" "Where is she?" "You heard Niki?" "Where is she?" "She's probably killing Malsky." "Right now." "MALSKY:" "Fourth one over, third one back." "Fourth one over, third one back." "Fourth one over, third one back." "Hey." "There you are." "Come on, Iet's go!" "Me again." "What?"

"I'II wait here all night if I have to." "Why don't we take a walk?" "It's my mom, she's sick, and I think it's bad." "Oh, I'm so sorry." "How can I help?" "You said my father had money." "You said he had power, and that he wanted to help us." "I thought maybe he would give me..." "Oh, honey, I didn't mean that kind of help." "I meant just money." "I don't understand." "Your daddy, he's..." "How do I explain this?" "When your daddy found out that I was pregnant with you..." "What I'm trying to say is that you can't count on him." "He'II give us cash, because that's easy, but anything else, he'II just disappoint you." "He doesn't even want to meet me?" "Oh, claire, please." "Why'd you even tell me about him?" "Because he wants to give us some money," "$50,000, and you're entitled to half of that." "I don't want his money." "I'm heading back to Mexico for a while, so we're probably not going to see each other." "I want you to take real good care of yourself, okay?" "Hang on." "So I can remember that sweet face." "Police!" "Get your hands up!" "I'm on the job." "I'm on the job." "(DOORBELL RINGING)" "Hello, Zane Taylor?" "Yes, you must be Dr. Suresh." "Come on in." "Can I get you some tea?" "Sorry it took me so long to get here." "No, it's no problem." "Is Earl Grey okay?" "Yes, that'II be fine." "You sounded rather alarmed on the phone." "You seemed to have calmed down some." "I had a kind of epiphany about it this morning." "Are you familiar with Abraham Maslow, the peak experience?" "No, I'm afraid not." "It's a single moment that takes you out of yourself." "Makes you feel very tiny, or very large, to some extent, one with life." "Or nature, or God." "I see." "Like, seeing all the pieces of a puzzle fit together." "AII this time, I was trying to fight it, deny it." "But there is no shame in having this ability, is there?" "None whatsoever." "It would be like denying you had brown eyes." "Right." "So, I guess that you want to see my ability." "Yes, I mean, I'm quite anxious to document it." "You might want to step back." "That looks like a nice jacket." "My God." "You want to see it again?" "(CHUCKLES)" "Look, for what it's worth, I'm sorry for the way things turned out." "You know, I could have been... (CLEARS THROAT) ...a much better person back then." "You politicians, you sure know your way around an apology." "You and me, we were never gonna work out." "In two different worlds." "In two different worlds." "(SIGHS)" "I hope this goes a Iong way toward making up for the fact that I wasn't there for both of you." "So..." "Where is she?" "MEREDITH:" "claire?" "Mmm-hmm." "You just missed her." "Did she want to see me?" "Yeah." "I snapped a photo of her." "Look how beautiful she is." "I'm sure she is." "Take a look, Nathan." "She came here with her bags all packed." "She thought you were going to rescue her from her tragic life." "That sound familiar?" "I told her you were just here to pay your money and go." "Did I speak out of turn?" "I could call her." "I could get her to come back." "No." "You did fine." "You did just fine." "I should probably be heading back to my family." "(SNIFFLES) Just the kids." "I'm very interested in how you control this ability." "Well, it's like riding a bike." "For the first time, it's a Iittle wobbly, and then I discovered something." "A kind of peace, a sense of purpose that can only be described as destiny." "I'd Iike to take a DNA sample." "From me?" "Okay, sure." "Just swab it on the inside of your mouth." "(KETTLE WHISTLING)" "The tea." "If you'II excuse me for a second." "Of course." "I just swab it on the inside of my cheek?" "Yes, that's right." "Here you go." "DNA sample." "Thank you." "You know, you should be careful who you talk to about this ability, Zane." "There are some people who might not understand, who would want to hurt you." "Why would anybody want to hurt me?" "I don't know yet, but I do know this." "There are others out there, Iike you." "Really?" "How many others?" "Dozens, and those are just the ones I know about." "With more time and research, I could find hundreds, thousands." "But you're the first one who's returned my phone calls." "But I am going to find them, all of them." "I could go with you." "I could help you, think about it." "These people could need convincing." "Who better to do that?" "Ando, over here." "Hope." "You got it." "My hero." "I was trapped under a bed." "Your boyfriend is very large." "You mean ex-boyfriend." "Come on, I need a ride to Primm, my mom's house." "I'm sure she would love to meet you." "Where is Hiro?" "Oh, I took him to meet the guy who could introduce him to Mr. Linderman." "He didn't wait for me?" "Well, he said he didn't really need you anymore." "But I didn't even give you your bag yet." "Why didn't you wait for me?" "Three's a crowd, baby." "We gotta go." "(HIRO SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)" "(GRUNTS)" "(RATTLING)" "You are not Ando." "S.R. Gustavson, State Gaming Commission." "I come in peace." "I only saw the blonde, yes, but I heard them talking." "I know there were two of them." "I'm telling you, she was incredibly strong." "She broke my handcuffs." "Any idea where the diamonds are?" "You didn't find the case?" "Nope." "I guess the incredibly strong killer and her partner must have taken it." "Fourth one over, third one back." "Fourth one over, third one..." "DETECTIVE:" "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." "Parkman?" "You okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm good." "Mom, I'm home." "MOHINDER:" "To survive in this world, we hold close to us those people on whom we depend." "We trust in them our hopes, our fears." "(MR. MUGGLES BARKING)" "Go away, you." "Mom, what's going on?" "This mangy thing came at me out of nowhere." "I think it has rabies." "Go away." "Scat!" "(WHIMPERING)" "Mom, this is your dog, Mr. Muggles." "You love him." "I don't have a dog." "I don't know any Mr. Muggles, and I don't know you." "MOHINDER:" "But what happens when trust is lost?" "Where do we run when things we believe in vanish before our eyes?" "It's done." "Micah, did I get another package?" "Yeah, it's in your bedroom." "Thanks." "Opening it now." "MOHINDER:" "When all seems lost, the future unknowable, our very existence in peril..." "Yeah, I remember him." "Not a problem." "Consider it done." "MOHINDER:" "...all we can do is run."
