Claire, your mother and I need to talk to you. About boys.
Oh please, not the sex talk again, it was painful enough the first time.

Dad, believe it or not, there are people in the world who aren't out to get us.
It's getting worse. Two a night now. I'm trying to listen in, get in her head. I keep getting thrown back.
So what are we supposed to do?
I don't know. You're the scientist!
That doesn't exactly make me an expert on nightmares.
That makes two of us.
I know I haven't been around, and I'm sorry about that. But I'm coming home. I promise. And what do Petrelli's do when they make promises?
NSNathan's children
Keep them!
So, you are from California?
DDerek
California?
Mm-hmm, on the license on the car, it says California.
DDerek
Oh, that. No, I just picked the car up there. I'm actually from Jersey.
This is very, very close to New York. We are going to New York, my brother and I-
DDerek
Look, I can take you guys pretty far, but when we get to the border, chances are they're gonna be looking for all of us.
(in Spanish) What's he saying?
(in Spanish) He says they'll be looking for us at the bord- (Derek stops the car because there's someone lying in the middle of the road. They all get out of the car to look.) Oh my god!
(in Spanish) What happened to him?
DDerek
Dude looks dead. (The three of them turn him over.)
(voice hoarse) Help me.
Hi.
Hi.
I can't stop thinking about yesterday. It was amazing! I finally found someone I can be myself with.
Uh... about that. I-I'm not sure we should hang out anymore. It's just my parents are really overprotective.
Is this because we flew together? It weirded you out, didn't it?
I can read your mind. Just like I read your mother's, but I can't tell my partner what I know or how I know it.
Are you reading my mind right now?
No-yes, sorry.
(to Nathan) Don't let your children hate you. Not if you can help it.
(in Spanish) It's a miracle! A sign from God, we're on the right path. (in English to Sylar) Thank you! I don't know what to say, I don't even know your name!
It's Gabriel. (looks down at broken watch and his eyes fix on the word "Sylar" at the top.) Gabriel Gray.
Gabriel. Oh! Like the angel.
Yeah. (turns away from Maya.) Just like the angel.
MMonica
I don't know. Maybe God's punishing me.
CCamille
Now why would he do that?
MMonica
For being selfish. I pray for it every Sunday in church, for God to find me a way out of here. Everybody else is praying for the community, to put things back together, to give them strength. Not me. I'm just praying for a way out.
(West catches Claire after jumping from HOLLYWOOD sign)
You caught me.
Of course I did.
But I would have been fine.
I know you can heal, Claire, but I never want to see you hurt.
(Derek buys newspaper with Alejandro and Maya's pictures on the front.)
DDerek
Gabriel. Come here, check this out. There are killers. In the car with us.
What?
DDerek
Homocidio. Right there.
Well, golly, they seem so...
DDerek
Dude, I have been riding with them for two days! We gotta ditch 'em.
Okay. Um. Alright, I'll distract them. And you- you go call the police. There's a pay phone right inside. (Derek goes to find the pay phone, and Sylar picks up brick and walks after him.)
(in Spanish) Derek is calling the police! (Maya and Sylar's eyes go black.)
What are you doing to me?! (Alejandro grabs Maya's hands.)
(in Spanish) Calm down, calm down, calm down... (their eyes return to normal.)
You both... have powers?
This is not our fault! We don't know what is happening to us.
That's why you need to find Dr. Suresh.
Yes.
Believe me, I understand what you're going through. To be held responsible for things you didn't mean to do. Being hunted. I've helped Suresh with so many people like you, he'll know what to do.
But the police!
(holds up car keys) They'll have to catch us first.
Molly's finally settling down.
I'm sorry.
Did you know?
No, I'm sorry. The thing is, Molly has to find my father.
That is out of the question.
A lot of people in this photo are dead. This guy, dead. This guy, dead! Kaito Nakamura, murdered. Angela Petrelli, attacked. This is my dad. He may already be dead, he may be the next victim. He may be the killer! I have to find that out.
Okay, this man here, this is the man I work for. His name is Bob, I'll take you to him.
Fine. After we find my dad.
You leave Molly out of this! You are asking a little girl to confront her worst nightmare!
Maybe confronting it is exactly what she needs!
Oh, so this is all about helping Molly? Because to me it sounds like a thirteen-year-old boy trying to make his daddy pay for leaving him!
And you know everything about daddy issues?
Yeah, I do.
