[voiceover] To survive in this world, we hold close to us those on whom we depend. We trust in them our hopes, our fears... But what happens when trust is lost? Where do we run, when things we believe in vanish before our eyes? When all seems lost, the future unknowable, our very existence in peril... All we can do is run.
“Run!” · Season 1, Episode 15
In this episode: Mohinder Suresh (3), Sylar (2)
(rings doorbell) 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'll be fine. (Sylar moves to other room and begins to make tea.) You um, sounded rather alarmed on the phone. You semeed 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, um.. 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. All 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 have brown eyes.
Right. So um, I guess that you- you want to see my ability.
Yes! I mean, I'm quite anxious to document it.
(pulls out toaster.) You might want to step back, that looks like a nice jacket. (He places his hand over the appliance and melts the toaster)
My god.
You want to see it again?
(chuckles and smiles nervously)
I'm very interested in how you control this ability.
Well it's like... riding a bike for the first time. It's a little wobbly, and then I discovered something. A kind of peace. A sense of purpose that can only be described as destiny.
I'd like to take a DNA sample.
From me, okay. Uh, sure.
(takes out a cotton swab and hands it to Sylar) Just swab it on the inside of your mouth. (tea starts whistling.)
The tea. If you'll excuse me for a second?
Of course. (Sylar walks to the other room, where Zane Taylor is on the floor.)
I just swab it on the inside of my cheek?
Yes, that's right. (Sylar swabs Zane's cheek as Mohinder walks toward the room they're in.)
Here you go. The DNA sample. (hands Mohinder the swab.)
Thank you. You know.. you should be careful who you talk to about this ability, Zane. There's some people who might not undestand. Who might 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 like 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, uh... 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?
