Papa Parkman claims that they've got it all wrong, he was waving the gun around to protect himself. He points them to a picture on the desk, and sure enough, it's a picture of him with the big "S" lipsticked across his ugly mug. Matt demands to know what his father did to Molly, and that he undo whatever it is immediately. Papa Parkman says he's just protecting himself, and when Nathan asks from whom, Papa Parkman levels a look at him and asks, "Which one of her kids are you?" He guesses that Nathan is the politician. Nathan rears his head back and says that his mother's in jail for Kaito's murder and she and Kaito both had the "S" over their faces, just like Papa Parkman does, and they're all taken from the same photo and they're all connected.
Papa Parkman goes on to say that the ElderHeroes all found each other years ago, and they all thought they could save the world. Matt says his father's only interested in saving his own ass. Nathan drops the picture on the desk and says that this is a waste of time. He thinks that Matt should just read his father's mind and they can get out of there. Papa Parkman looks at his son. "You can read minds?" He starts laughing. "Go ahead." Matt tries to, but something wonky starts happening and suddenly Papa Parkman grimaces and Matt pulls back in pain. "Hurts, doesn't it?" asks his father. "How do you know?" asks Matt. "Can you read minds?" Well, DUH, Parkman. He's only been digging around in Molly's for God knows how long. Papa Parkman tells Matt to unlock his cuffs and he'll tell him everything he wants to know.
New Orleans. Micah's at the piano, playing the shit out of it. Because Noah Gray-Cabey can play the piano like a pro and it's high time everyone knew it. So he plays and plays and we're all impressed and shit, and Monica comes in and she's all impressed and shit, and this has nothing to do with the story, so let's move on to something that does, shall we? Micah says he misses his mother and Monica says she probably misses him too and as they're sitting there, Monica suddenly starts playing the piano alongside Micah. He asks her if she plays, and she just wistfully says that she never learned. And then she looks at her hands. And they're playing better than Micah. And they start playing even more aggressively and professionally until Monica is freaked the hell out and leaps up from the piano. "If you don't play, then what was that?" asks Micah. Monica runs out.
Chez M3. Mohinder's on the phone, calling Bennet. Bennet's in front of a green screen with the Haitian Sensation, with a vague European nation being projected behind them. Mohinder gabbles that he's worried about Molly because she's so unresponsive. He doesn't know what to do and he's thinking of taking her into The Company because they're the only people who can help her. Bennet thinks this is an extraordinarily stupid idea. He tells Mohinder that the moment he trusts them with something he cares about, The Company will have him in their grasp. Spoken like a man who knows what he's talking about. "Don't forget whose side you're on," he whispers into the phone. "I'm on her side," says Mohinder. God, just SLAP her already, Mohinder. She's probably just drunk. Get her a bloody Mary. That'll wake her up. At least, it always wakes ME up...
