WHERE DOES IT COME FROM, THIS QUEST? THIS NEED TO SOLVE LIFE'S MYSTERIES, WHEN 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. NOT THE HUMAN HEART. THAT IS NOT WHY WE ARE HERE. (WOMAN) HOW'S HE DOING? (FAINT SIREN) I'M SORRY. DID I SCARE YOU? NO. NO, I JUST, UH, I KEEP HAVING THESE AMAZING DREAMS EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES, AND... NEVER MIND, UM... HE LIKES ME TO READ HIM THE STOCK PAGE. HAS HE BEEN CONSCIOUS AT ALL? NO. 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 GOT A REAL GIFT. JUST DOING MY JOB. NO. YOU'RE LIKE A SON TO HIM. WELL, THEN, THAT WOULD MAKE US LIKE BROTHER AND SISTER. MIGHT BE A LITTLE AWKWARD IF I EVER WANTED TO ASK YOU OUT. (CHUCKLES) I'M SORRY. THAT WAS, UH, THAT WAS INAPPROPRIATE. NO, IT--IT'S SWEET. IT'S-- I'M DATING SOMEBODY, AND-- YEAH, NO, REALLY. IT'S...OK. I NEED TO CHANGE HIS IV. I'M SORRY. NO. OF COURSE. MAN IS A NARCISSISTIC SPECIES BY NATURE. WE HAVE COLONISED THE FOUR CORNERS OF OUR TINY PLANET. BUT WE ARE NOT THE PINNACLE OF SO-CALLED EVOLUTION. THAT HONOUR BELONGS TO THE LOWLY COCKROACH. CAPABLE OF LIVING FOR MONTHS WITHOUT FOOD. REMAINING ALIVE HEADLESS FOR WEEKS AT A TIME. RESISTANT TO RADIATION. IF GOD HAS INDEED CREATED HIMSELF IN HIS OWN IMAGE, THEN I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT GOD IS A COCKROACH. (SCATTERED CHUCKLES) 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, NIRAD. 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, TRYING TO STEAL HIS RESEARCH. HE DIED BECAUSE OF HIS THEORIES. - THAT'S CRAZY. - IS IT? THE MAN LEFT HIS FAMILY, DISCREDITED HIS CAREER TO CHASE WILD THEORIES HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? TO HIS APARTMENT, TO GET HIS PAPERS, HIS RESEARCH. HE WAS THIS CLOSE TO FINDING THE FIRST OF "THEM." HIS PATIENT 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 LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY. I FOLLOWED IN HIS FOOTSTEPS. MY THESIS IS BASED ON HIS RESEARCH! YES, YOU ALWAYS WANTED HIS APPROVAL! AND NOW YOU'RE 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. (THUNDER) (CELL PHONE RINGS) HELLO? YEAH. YEAH, I'M AT 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 GOTTA CALL YOU RIGHT BACK.

MAYBE I OUGHT 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. BUT DO NOT PULL A ROGER CLINTON ON ME, MAN. I'M EIGHT POINTS DOWN IN THE POLLS. THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU, ALL RIGHT? SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO ME, AND I HAVE THIS FEELING THAT YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON THAT'S GONNA UNDERSTAND THIS. WHY THE HELL WOULD I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU THINK YOU CAN FLY? (CELL PHONE RINGING) BECAUSE YOU'RE MY BROTHER. (RING) MOM, I CAN'T TALK-- WHAT? I'LL BE THERE IN TEN MINUTES. WHAT'D SHE DO NOW? SHE GOT ARRESTED. ARRESTED FOR WHAT? SHOPLIFTING. I'M SO DEPRESSED. WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHY? (ON TAPE) YOU READY? (ON TAPE) YEAH, I'M GOOD. ALL RIGHT, BESIDES THE FACT THAT IT WAS SO GROSS I ALMOST FUDGED MYSELF, THIS IS THE SINGLE COOLEST THING TO HAPPEN TO THIS TOWN IN, LIKE, 100 YEARS. NOT IF NOBODY FINDS OUT, IT'S NOT. (ZACH, ON TAPE) CLAIRE! WHY'D YOU WANT ME TO TAPE YOU? I HAVE MY REASONS. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE POPULAR ANYMORE. POPULAR? WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BEING POPULAR? MY LIFE AS I KNOW IT IS OVER, OK? I'VE GOT THE BISHOP GAME NEXT WEEK, SATS IN OCTOBER, HOMECOMING'S THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY, AND I'M A FREAK SHOW! YOU'RE BEING A LITTLE DRAMATIC, DON'T YOU THINK? NO, I DON'T THINK! I HAVE 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! WH--WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT THING STICKING OUT? UGH. - GREAT. JUST GIVE ME THE TAPE, OK? SURE. (SNAPPING FINGERS) HEY, I--I CAN GIVE YOU A RIDE ON MY HANDLE BARS, IF YOU WANT.

HIS FATHER'S NOT AROUND, AND... SOMETIMES I THINK HE COULD USE A BIT OF A STRONGER HAND, YOU KNOW? (CHUCKLES) I WORK NIGHTS A LOT, BUT, UM... 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 CHEQUE FOR $25,000 TO GET HIM INTO THIS SNOB-FEST. I WAS TOLD THAT'S WHAT IT TOOK. THAT'S ON TOP OF THE TUITION. (CLEARS THROAT) ABOUT THE TUITION. UH, YOUR LAST THREE CHEQUES HAVE BOUNCED.
