Buddy picks up the phone (I love the Japanese "mush-mush" greeting -- it kills me; it's such a cute way to say hello!), and Hiro tries to explain what's going on. Buddy's all, dude? Where the hell you been? Hiro's all, New York-uh! Teleportosan! Heeeee. The Japanese detective grabs the phone from him and starts asking Buddy questions. Hiro says he was with Buddy yesterday and Buddy surprisingly says that he hasn't seen Hiro for five weeks. There's a "missing" poster on the wall to prove it. The detective tells Hiro what Buddy said and Hiro's sweet little smile disappears. He looks at his watch and it still says October 2nd. He tells the detectives this. The detective shows him today's paper, and not only is it November 8th, but Nathan's picture is on the front page, and he's won the election by a landslide. Hiro's trying to make sense of this when there's a huge explosion heard behind them. Everyone runs to the window and we see that a nuclear bomb seems to have landed in the middle of New York. Hiro squeezes his eyes shut and... winds up back on the train in Tokyo.
"For all his bluster," says Suresh's voice-over, "it is the assigned province of man that he cannot choose his triumph. He can only choose how he will stand when the call of destiny comes. Hoping that he will have the courage to answer."
Next on Heroes: The Heroes realize they must band together to save the world. Or Claire. Or something like that.
