"No, you have to go to college with the plan." "How are you gonna find your future without a map?" "(LAUGHS) You have a map of your future?" "Yeah." "See, I call this my trajectory." "This is me in three years, graduating magna cum laude in poli-sci pre-law." "This is me in eight years, Massachusetts Attorney General." "And this is me in 12 years, being sworn in as the youngest governor in US history." "Wow, you really thought that through." "Don't you think it's time you put childish things behind you and thought this through yourself, Claire?" "I mean, don't let GED be a lifestyle choice." "I'll tell you what."

"Must be keeping you busy." "Your mother says she hasn't seen you in weeks." "Wow." "This is amazing." "Ls this all you?" "Mmm-hmm." "You using powers?" "In my line of work, it helps to be strong, agile." "Thank you, Dr. Suresh." "It's a pretty convenient power." "Good for you." "I figure one of us has got to make up for all we've done." "Meaning?" "You, me, my family, the Company." "Come on, we haven't exactly been model citizens, Noah." "That's a pretty heavy burden for one guy." "You said you wanted to talk?" "Yeah." "Danko's dead." "Killed because of this." "A key." "I did some research." "This key opens a safe deposit box in a downtown bank." "Now, the way I figure it, the guy that killed Danko is probably just waiting for whoever shows up with this key." "I need a partner on this, somebody I can trust." "He could jump me just about anywhere, and I'd never know what hit me 'cause he's super fast and he has a thing for knives." "How fast?" "Thanks for letting me stay with you." "Of course." "I would never leave you here, not after what happened." "Annie's parents came by last night." "I thought they should know about the supposed suicide letter." "You didn't say anything, did you?" "No." "But I think they have the right to know." "Don't you?" "I mean, if it were me, you would want to know." "It's not your business to tell the parents about the note." "Let the police handle it." "It's the truth." "Welcome back." "Hey." "Gretchen, this is my mom." "Mom, Gretchen." "Hi." "Hi." "Pleasure." "Bizarre, huh?" "GRETCHEN:" "I heard you told the cops that you didn't see a suicide note." "So, what do you think?" "Murder or horrific accident?" "Claire may have been mistaken about the note." "May have been?" "Did you see one or not?" "Well, I didn't at first." "But it was dark." "Maybe I missed it." "Suicide makes no sense." "I mean, the girl had a trajectory." "Who maps out their life for the next 50 years and then throws themselves out a window?" "I should go." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Thanks for everything." "You're welcome." "Remember, new life, new beginning." "Bye." "Nice to meet you." "Likewise." "(DOOR CLOSING)" "So, it's murder, right?" "How do we prove it?" "So you think your knife guy is gonna show?" "MR. BENNET:" "I don't know, but it sure makes me feel better having you around." "Yeah, I'll bet." "Do you mind if I make an observation?" "I think you should seriously consider how you're living your life." "Where did that come from?" "I saw your apartment, the police scanner, all those newspaper articles." "You're saving lives and you're keeping track." "I'll bet you know every one of their names." "And?" "Do any of them know yours?" "It's not healthy to live alone, Peter." "No connections to anybody, it's a dead end." "Trust me." "I'm Exhibit "A."" "For years, I put my job ahead of my family, and now my kids are off at school and I'm eating cereal for dinner and a strange man is answering my wife's phone." "My point is, I'm alone." "That's no way to live." "(KNOCK AT DOOR)" "Here you are, Mr. Danko." "And I'll be right outside when you're finished." "So, what'd we win?" "A compass?" "Danko got killed for a compass?" "A broken compass." "(KNOCK AT DOOR)" "Yeah, we need just another minute." "That doesn't belong to you." "(EDGAR GROANS)" "You got his power?" "I got it." "I got it." "Bloody hell." "What happened?" "I don't know." "He took off." "He's still breathing." "(PANTING)" "Thanks a lot, Doc." "How's he doing?" "He's recovering." "I hope it was worth it." "No, not really." "Can't figure out why Danko thought this was worth dying for." "Can I see it?" "Whoa!" "(LAUGHS) Hello." "What did you do?" "I didn't do anything." "Well, apparently it only works for you." "Here." "No." "No, no, no." "Peter, this is a lead." "You saw that guy." "There could be others out there like him." "Look, my life finally makes sense to me." "In the last six weeks, I've saved 53 people." "I'm with you for, what, an hour, and some innocent guy almost gets killed?" "The further I stay away from you and whatever it is that you're doing, the happier I'm gonna be." "He murdered Danko." "He almost killed you and me for this." "So, why don't you just let him have it?" "Look." "My life is simple, okay?" "I understand it." "I don't need for things to get complicated." "So, why did you come with me?" "The ability." "It'll help me do my job better, the one where I actually save people." "I guess this is goodbye." "I wish you all the luck in the world, Peter." "Thank you, Noah." "Hey!" "Call your mother." "Forensic Pathology:" "Principles and Practice," "Spitz and Fisher's Medicolegal Investigation of Death," "Knight's Forensic Pathology with all relevant addenda." "Where did you get those?" "The homicide bookstore?" "Is there such a place?" "Don't you think you're going a little overboard?" "Don't you want to prove your roommate was defenestrated?" "Of course." "And, yes, I know what "defenestrated" means." "Well, don't get mad at me for using it in a sentence." "Have you ever heard of the "Jump, Push, Fall" test?" "The what?" "It's when cops get a dummy the approximate size and weight of the victim and they throw it out of the window to see how it lands." "What page is that on?" "Oh. it's not in there." "I saw it on an episode of Crossing Jordan." "Look, if you fall, you go straight down." "If you jump, go a little further." "But if you're pushed..." "Sorry." "(MEOWS)" "Cranky." "All we need is a dummy the approximate size and weight of Annie." "You're not serious." "Maybe we could swipe a cadaver from the medical school." "What?" "It's a victimless crime." "Let's not get carried away." "Why not?" "This is murder!" "Maybe." "But I'm not trying to be a social pariah before midterms." "Ship's already sailed, Claire." "So, where do we get our hands on a dead body?" "Hi." "My name's Matt." "ALL:" "Hi, Matt." "It's been six weeks since I last used, and I'm feeling confused." "When I used, I was totally selfish." "I didn't think about what I did to others and how I may have hurt them." "(CHAIR CLATTERS)" "Sorry." "You mean like what you did to me?" "Hi." "My name is Sylar." "It's been about six weeks or so since I've seen my body, and I want it back." "Recently, there have been these ghosts, these things have been popping up from my old life and haunting me." "Do you really think you're gonna stop using your powers?" "Are you crazy?" "(LAUGHS) I mean, I bet you couldn't even make it through a day." "I can't seem to get these images out of my head." "You're weak." "You're simple-minded." "I bet I can make you use your powers." "Go away!" "SYLAR:" "I could make you use your powers." "I'm sorry." "Hey, buddy, you okay?" "Does this guy look okay?" "Seriously?" "(LAUGHS) I mean, he's, like, 20 pounds overweight, blood pressure's through the roof." "He's like a heart attack waiting to happen!" "Stop it." "Stop it!" "Um..." "Let's get things moving along a bit." "(LAUGHS) Who's next?" "(SPEAKING JAPANESE)" "(SPEAKING JAPANESE)" "(CHUCKLES)" "Let me take a crack at this guy, see if I can get him to talk." "You seemed a little off today at the meeting." "No, no, no, no." "I'm good." "You sure?" "I'm good." "I'm under control." "It's good." "Double shot of mocha." "You look like you could use a little pick-me-up." "It's okay." "No strings attached." "Not interested." "Come on." "Let's do this easy, right?" "Just two guys talking." "Come on." "I get it." "You are the good cop." "How ironic." "(SIGHS) So, we need a name, your supplier." "All right?" "You give us that name, you keep a clean record." "He's a liar, totally lying." "Why are you looking at my forehead?" "(CHUCKLES) Does it say "schmuck" or something?" "I wasn't staring at your forehead." "You're not getting a name, coffee boy." "Ls that all you need, Matt?" "A name?" "Seriously?" "What the hell are you waiting for?" "It's gotta be floating around in his comical little brain somewhere, right?" "I don't do that anymore." "You don't do what anymore?" "Why is that?" "Because you're addicted?" "Leave me alone." "Who are you talking to?" "Just read his mind, Matt." "You know you want to." "I could help you." "I could take a nice little chunk out of his skull in the process." "Stop it." "What's the matter with you?" "Just give me a name, okay?" "Take it from him." "No!" ""No" what?" "Why the hell not?" "Leave me alone." "You are a loser." "Total loser." "No wonder your wife is having sex with the water guy." "Shut the hell up!" "I didn't say anything." "I'm not talking to you right now." "Come on, Matt." "She's cheated on you once already, and we both know what Janice needs is a real man." "Someone who's not afraid of power, someone who knows what to do with it." "I'm in control here, not the power." "And not you, you son of a bitch!" "Keppler!" "The guy's name is Keppler." "Lives in Long Beach." "Okay?" "(PANTING) Just leave me alone." "Hey." "Hey, man." "Have a nice day off?" "It was good." "Very productive." "I got a lot done." "You okay?" "Oh." "Yeah." "I'm fine." "Is that clam chowder?" "It is." "Smells good." "Where'd you get it?" "A place called Legal Sea Food." "Got one for you." "Never heard of it." "It's up in Boston." "Boston?" "Yeah." "How'd you get it down here?" "I know a guy." "(LAUGHS) That's the partner I know and love." "DISPATCHER ON RADIO:" "All available units." "Code 3, 5th and Lexington." "Never mind that." "We still got five minutes till we're on duty." "Peter?" "Noah." "Noah?" "Just hang on." "Just hang on, okay?" "(PANTS)" "What?" "What?" "What?" "What?" "(WEAKLY) They took the compass." "(WOMAN CHATTERING ON PA)" "Hi." "Hey." "How are you?" "You know, looks worse than it feels." "You called." "I figured I owed it to you." "Hey, you know that key inside of Danko?" "Turns out it led me to a broken old compass." "Your friend with the knives just came and took it back, anyway." "You gonna go after him?" "I don't know." "I prefer the old way of doing business." "One of me, one of you." "This new way just feels too dangerous to try to stop them alone." "Maybe this guy with the knives is like me, just trying to get their life back, keeping what's his." "Maybe the idea isn't to stop them but to figure out a way to help them." "Yeah, maybe." "(LAUGHS) So, be honest." "Why did you call?" "You know, I can't call my wife, my..." "Ex-wife." "I didn't want to worry Claire." "So, I just..." "I'm not sure..." "I get it." "You don't want to be alone." "Yeah, I guess not." "So, what's in the bag?" "I have no idea." "What is it?" "Is that clam chowder?" "It's still warm." "Looks like you have someone looking out for you." "You want some?" "There's plenty." "You got an extra spoon?" "(LAUGHS) Hey, dude." "Hey." "You don't need to jam it or else you'll just bust the coil again." "Guess you don't know your own strength." "Hi, honey." "Hey." "Roy fixed the hot water." "Awesome, Roy." "Hey." "Hey." "Everything okay at work?" "Yeah, yeah." "It's another banner day." "Hey, Roy." "Yeah." "Let me walk you out, buddy." "Oh." "Sure thing." "See you Tuesday, Janice." "Thanks, Roy." "Bye, Matty-man." "You be a good boy." "Hey, man." "Yeah." "You got a family of your own, Roy?" "(LAUGHS) No." "No." "Maybe some day." "Yeah." "Look, thanks for fixing the hot water and all, but..." "My pleasure." "Must be tough out there for a single mom, right?" "Yeah, yeah." "Look, she's not single anymore." "(EXHALES)" "Tomorrow you're gonna ask for a new route and you're never gonna stop by this house again." "So, I'm starting a new route." "Guess this is goodbye," "Yeah, it is." "Bye, Roy." "Gotcha." "(LAUGHS)" "Jump, push, fall." "(PANTS)" "I guess she did kill herself." "You had me worried." "Sorry." "Getting the compass back was a lot harder than I thought." "I met an empath." "You talk to him?" "(LAUGHS)" "Didn't really get a chance." "Lydia says you found another time traveler, someone to replace Arnold." "I don't like that word." "You can't replace family." "But the Chinese guy..." "Japanese." "I put him on a righteous path." "But he'll come back to us." "So, what's next?" "We gather the rest."
