(Claire walks into the room while Nathan and Angela mourn Peter)
Nathan: (voice breaking) Claire?
Claire: I know you don't want me here. I just want to see him. I came all this way.
(short pause)
Angela: Let the girl have her moment.
(Nathan and Angela leave the room)
***
(Nathan is uncovering a painting of him, Claire knocks on door)
Claire: Your mom said you wanted to talk to me?
Nathan: I did, I do. Come in. Please. This should've happened a long time ago, under better circumstances. It shouldn't take someone nearly dying for the two of us to finally meet.
Claire: You know, you don't have to this. Pretend to be nice to me.
Nathan: I'm not pretending. Claire, most people think the worst of me and I've probably given them a good reason to, but I want to do better. I want to be there for you. (pauses) But I can't. Not now.
Claire: Of course.
Nathan: I'm sorry, but there are things happening now that I don't expect you to understand. I barely understand them myself. I went into politics for the chance to do something good, to have a chance to help. To be a part of something big. And in order to do that, I have to-
Claire: The election. Can't have some illegitimate daughter popping up in front of the cameras.
Nathan: I need to win.
Claire: You need me to leave. Paris with my grandmother.
Nathan: She warms up. Sort of. It's just one week.
Claire: And then what?
Nathan: And then you come home to your family. Okay? (Claire and Nathan hug)
***
Peter: Talk to her, Nathan. She wants to know her father.
Nathan: I can't deal with that right now.
Peter: She's not just some girl, she's your daughter. You know that Mom wants to send her to Paris? You can't let her go. Don't you get it? Claire's the girl I saved in Texas, save the cheerleader-
Nathan: Save the world, I get it.
Peter: And she turns out to be your daughter. YOUR daughter. Look around. Everything I said is happening is happening now. And maybe if Claire's here, I don't blow up. Maybe she's here to save us. Talk to her, Nathan. We need her.
The Hard Part
Claire: My father sacrificed himself so I could have a life, not a destiny. You can't save me, Peter, not this time.
Peter: And Nathan can?
Claire: Nathan can keep me safe.
***
Nathan: So this Ted Sprague guy blew up your house? (Claire looks at Peter, who nods, behind Nathan)
Claire: Yeah. Pretty much.
Peter: See, maybe I'm not the bomb. Maybe this Ted Sprague guy is.
Nathan: But in your dream, you blew up New York.
Peter: I also had a dream I could fly, and we both know how that turned out for you.
Claire: You can fly? (Quietly) That's cool.
How to Stop an Exploding Man
Claire: Nathan doesn't care about you. He doesn't care about anyone. He doesn't care about me, and I'm his own daughter. We do not need him!
Peter: Yes, we do!
Claire: Why?
Peter: Because I'm afraid! Okay? And I need my brother to help us.
***
(Peter and Claire meet up with Nathan in a parking garage.)
Nathan: Look, if what you're saying's real, then there's no reason to involve Claire in this. It's just too dangerous.
Peter: No, she has to stay with me.
Nathan: She's just a kid, Pete.
Peter: If I find Sylar, and I'm able to stop him, then she's the only one who can stop me if something goes wrong.
Nathan: You're going to be fine.
Peter: How do you know?
Nathan: You told me that you could regenerate, that you could survive.
(Peter overhears Nathan's thoughts) There's nothing you can do to stop it, Peter. They're all going to die.
Nathan: What is it?
Peter: Claire was right about you.
(Claire slips out of the car and runs away while Nathan and Peter are distracted)
***
Nathan: I have to get some paperwork. I won't be coming back to the office.
Angela: Helicopter's picking us up from the roof in ten minutes. When the jet lands tomorrow morning, you'll be safe.
Claire: But everyone else'll be dead. How can you do nothing to stop this?
Angela: It's inevitable, dear. There's nothing anyone can do about it.
Claire: That's insane! Nothing is inevitable. The future is not written in stone!
Nathan: I'm afraid this one is.
Claire: If everything is so inevitable, then why has she been trying to keep us apart all these years?
Angela: There are things you simply aren't mature enough to understand yet.
Claire: Yeah, like how you can let your own son die like this. Your own brother!
Nathan: He's not gonna die.
Angela: Thanks to you, Peter has the ability to survive.
Claire: So he lives, and kills millions of people. How can you let him be responsible for something like that? And how can you live with yourself if he is?
Nathan: Claire, I know that it's hard for you to trust me right now, but this is all going to make sense very soon. I promise.
Angela: We are offering you everything you've ever wanted, Claire, a place to belong, a family.
(Nathan and Claire hug)
Claire: I already have a family.
(Claire pushes Nathan away, runs to the window, and jumps out)
Nathan: No!
(Claire get up and walks away, as Angela and Nathan look on)
Angela: I know what you're thinking, Nathan. Let her go. You understand.
***
(Claire aims a gun at Peter, readying herself to shoot him.)
Claire: crying Tell me there's another way, please!
Peter: Shoot me. There is no other way.
(Nathan suddenly swoops down from the sky and lands between Peter and Claire.)
Nathan: Yes, there is, Claire. The future isn't written in stone.
Four Months Later
(Claire phones Nathan)
Nathan: Why are you calling me?
Claire: I don't know. I'm not sure.
Nathan: Well, don't do it again. I gotta go.
Claire: No, wait. Listen, I know why you're doing this. I get it. I miss him too. I just...I need someone to talk to. I don't know if I can do this anymore.
Nathan: Do what?
Claire: Not be who I really am, and I know that I-I can't be who they want me to be, and I just feel like I'm gonna burst.
Nathan: Look, I know you're looking for answers. We all are. But trust me, I am not the guy...to give 'em to you. I'm sorry.
(Nathan hangs up)
Song Lyrics
Confessions of a Broken Heart
I wait for the postman to bring me a letter.
And I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better.
And I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders.
Family in crisis that only grows older.
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
Daughter to father, daughter to father!
I am broken, but I am hoping.
Daughter to father, daughter to father!
I am crying, a part of me's dying.
And these are, these are, the
confessions of a broken heart!
And I wear all your old clothes you polo sweater.
I dream of another you, one who would never.
Never, leave me alone to pick up the pieces. Daddy to hold me, that's what I needed.
So,why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
Daughter to father, daughter to father!
I don't know you, but I still want to.
Daughter to father, daughter to father!
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me?
Cause these are, these are,
the confessions....!!! of a broken heart!
Of a broken heart!
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I ... I ... I ...
I love you!
Daughter to father, daughter to father!
I don't know you, but I still want to.
Daughter to father, daughter to father!
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me?
Did you ever love me?
These are the confessions of a broken heart!
Ohh ... yeah
And I wait for the postman to bring me a letter.
