History:
University professor Mohinder Suresh is speaking to his class. After Nirand brings him news of his father's death in New York, Mohinder suspects that his father was murdered to silence the findings of his genetics research. He goes to his father's local apartment to look for clues and to finish his research. However, before Mohinder can thoroughly analyse his father's findings, he realizes someone is still in the apartment when the intruder's phone rings. As the mysterious stranger talks to the caller about Mohinder's father and the research, Mohinder narrowly escapes.
Later, in Brooklyn, Mohinder has gotten a license and taken a job as a taxi driver. He rents his father's other apartment and although it is in disarray, much of the material is still there and Mohinder begins to reorganize it.
Later Mohinder picks up Peter Petrelli, who asks him about "being special". Although Mohinder initially patronizes Peter, he eventually realizes Peter's question is more substantial and talks to him about genetics and evolution. Afterward, Mohinder gets another fare. This other man seems ordinary enough at first, requesting a ride to JFK Airport and talking about heading home after business. However, he begins to ask Mohinder about his last name "Suresh" and commenting suspiciously that he knew a Professor Suresh in India. Getting spooked, Mohinder abandons the cab and runs away. The mysterious man then gets out and is revealed to be the same man who was at Mohinder's father's apartment in India.
Mohinder finds a man in his father's apartment. The man claims he is an exterminator, but Mohinder quickly realizes that the man was planting an eavesdropping device. The man pulls a gun, after a struggle that leads out into the apartment hallway, a girl picks up the gun ("If you're the exterminator, why do you have a gun holster?"), and the man quickly leaves. The girl introduces herself as a friend of Mohinder's father and enthusiastic about his theories on genetics, her name is Eden McCain.
Mohinder and Eden discover a portable hard drive in his father's pet's cage. Mohinder discovers that the hard drive appears to have all the genetic research that his father had done on tracking those with special abilities.
Along the way, Mohinder learns that his father seems to have had a falling out with one "Sylar". Chandra thought Sylar was "Patient Zero", but on a recorded telephone message Chandra seems to want nothing more to do with the strange man.
Mohinder, jumping at every noise, fears for his life and has a pistol cocked and ready. Fortunately, no bad guys are breaking in, only Eden. She brings him macaroni and cheese, and they discuss his father's work. Mohinder recalls that his father never answered a question directly, but answered with another question. Frustrated, he throws his father's laptop, but by throwing it, he accidentally reveals a small journal hidden in a compartment. As they thumb through the leather notebook, they discover pages detailing specific people Chandra studies whom he presumed to possess special powers. Also listed is an address for "Sylar" in Queens. They also find a key in the book.
They make their way to his flat. They knock, but there's no answer. Mohinder produces the key that they found, but it doesn't fit. "It would have been too easy," Mohinder says. So he pulls out a screwdriver and pries the door open. They enter a very neat kitchen, with a teacup resting on the table. Mohinder takes pictures. As they go further into the apartment, the walls are covered with book shelves packed with books—all impeccably orderly. Eden notices an anatomy book laying open to a page were the face is dissected. "A little light reading before bed?" she comments. Mohinder bumps a closet door, and he inspects. He finds a room lit by a string of light bulbs, and a map identical to his fathers, but with more pins and yarn links. Going further in, he is astounding by what he sees. Painted up in red letters are the phrases "Forgive me" and "I have sinned", written over and over the rough cement wall. Mohinder muses, "My God, what was my father involved with?"
Mohinder tracks down Nathan Petrelli who does not listen to him, but tells Peter about him. Peter assumes the man is Chandra Suresh and visits his apartment looking for him, only to find that he has passed away and that it was Mohinder that spoke to Nathan. Mohinder is skeptical that Peter has any real power because he's unable to actually demonstrate it. Peter comes to realize that he can assume other people's powers when around them. Unfortunately Nathan is in Las Vegas, so he can't demonstrate his flight. Mohinder and Peter set out to see Isaac who, strung out on heroin, pays no attention to the knock on his door. On the subway back, time freezes (including Mohinder) leaving Peter to talk with Future Hiro.
When time unfreezes, Peter tries to persuade Mohinder to come back with him to Isaac's studio, but Mohinder refuses, telling Peter to just go home and that there are no answers.
Back in his apartment, Mohinder begins to pack to return to India so he can scatter his father's ashes. Eden refuses to say goodbye, claiming that he'll be back to solve the mystery of his father's research. They kiss, and he leaves for India.
Mohinder returns to India to scatter his father's ashes. At the ceremony in Kanyakumari, his mother, his colleague Nirand, and his former lover Mira Shenoy are all present. He tells Nirand he plans to remain in India. Nirand tells him that he has not cancelled Mohinder's classes for the next semester yet, that he's welcome back at Chennai University, and that he's welcome to use his father's office. He also mentions Mira, and tells Mohinder there may be more for him to remain in India for than just a job.
At his father's office, Mohinder finds another version of the map, but this one has had all of the pins and strings removed. He accidentally nudges his father's computer and the algorithm appears. He begins to exit the program, but hesitates.
Mira comes to see him at the university. She apologizes for being so critical of his father's theories in the past. She tells Mohinder she's been promoted and offers him a job with her company—but only provided he's willing to forget all about his father's research. He tells her he'll have to think about it.
Later, Mohinder has an unusual dream. In it, he watches unobserved as he argues with his father about his plans to travel to America in pursuit of Patient Zero. The vision fades and is replaced by one of his mother and father. Again, Mohinder seems present but unobserved. His father believes he should stay in India for Mohinder's sake, but his mother convinces him to go to New York in pursuit of his theories, telling him that Mohinder will never replace "her" in his father's eyes. As he looks on, a soccer ball rolls to his feet. Looking around, Mohinder spots a a young boy in the dream—a boy who is aware of his presence. He asks the boy who he is, but he just points ... possibly at Mohinder, possibly at the ball.
Mohinder visits his mother and asks her about the dream. She confirms that what he dreamed really happened. When he asks what she meant about him never taking "her" place in his father's eyes, she confesses that Mohinder had an older sister, Shanti, who died when she was five years old and Mohinder was two. She says they never told Mohinder about Shanti because they were afraid Mohinder would compare himself unfavorably to her. Chandra loved Shanti very much and believed she was "special".
Mohinder arrives back at his father's office to find the same boy from his dream trying to force a drawer on the desk. Again, he asks the boy who he is, but the boy runs out down the stairs. Mohinder follows, but as he exits the building he's suddenly in New York, standing outside his father's cab as he is murdered. As the killer smashes his father's head over and over again into the side window of the cab, his watch smashes against the glass. The face cracks, and Mohinder sees that the hands are frozen at seven minutes to midnight. Suddenly, the cab has vanished but the boy appears, and he once again stretches out his hand towards Mohinder. This time, however, he's holding the key Mohinder found in his father's journal.
Waking with a start back in the office, Mohinder realizes the entire vision was another dream. He takes the key and uses it to open the drawer he saw the boy trying to force in the dream. At first, it seems empty, but he finds a file tucked up inside the drawer opening. Pulling it out, he reads the name "Sanjog, Iyer". Inside are various articles about sleep and dreaming, a few dream-like drawings, and a photograph of the boy from his dreams.
Mohinder and Nirand attempt to locate Sanjog Iyer. Eventually, a man directs them to Sanjog, who is playing with a soccer ball with a group of other kids. Mohinder approaches Sanjog and asks about the dreams, hoping the boy can tell him what to do, but Sanjog merely tells him he already knows the answer.
Back in Chandra's office, Mohinder has another dream, in which he sees his father trying to persuade Nirand about Sanjog's abilities. The setting of the dream shifts and Mohinder watches a conversation he had with his father where he tried to offer his assistance with the research but was rebuffed by his father. Sanjog appears before Mohinder and tells him that he has his answer.
Mohinder wakes up in the office. He looks at the computer program still running with the prompt asking if he would like to quit. He presses a key and selects No. A password prompt pops up and he tries to guess the password. After a few attempts he inputs "Shanti" and it lets him in. He's presented with a list of the evolved humans that Chandra discovered along with their location.
Later, his mother tells him that she heard from Mira that he turned down the job offer and is returning to New York City. She tells him that Chandra didn't tell him that he succeeded in finding the evolved humans because he wanted Mohinder to live his own life. Mohinder tells his mother that he's going to find them and tell them who they are and warm them of the dangers. His mother worries about who will protect him.
Mohinder returns to his father's apartment in Brooklyn to find a note from Eden welcoming him home and telling him to get back to work. He speaks to someone on the phone and tells him that he faxed the list to their Quantico office yesterday and asks why they haven't been warned since six of them have already been killed by Sylar.
Later, Mohinder receives a call from Eden, who tells him that she lied to him about who she really is and will explain soon. She tells him she needs to make things right, starting by killing the man who murdered his father. Eden abruptly hangs up.
Upon returning to his apartment, Mohinder is startled by Mr. Bennet who has entered into his apartment without him noticing. Mr. Bennet probes Mohinder for information about the list, saying that who is on the list is of grave importance, at which Mohinder becomes very angry. Mr. Bennet even goes so far as to ask if Mohinder himself is on the list. When asked what he intends to do with it, Mohinder says he intends to contact the people on the list, inform them who they are, and warn them about the dangers they face—starting with the danger Mr. Bennet poses.
