Across town, Tobby's attending to Claire's restraints when his phone rings. He thinks it's his daughter, but it's Bennet. "You touch my daughter and I'll kill yours," says Bennet. "And then I'll kill you." He says that they'll be at the Imperial Beach parking lot in two hours, and he expects Tobby and his daughter to be there. He hangs up, and Tobby turns to Claire. "Looks like you and I are going to the beach," he says, pulling on surgical gloves. Claire says that she'll do whatever he wants her to as long he leaves her dad alone. Tobby's not promising anything as long as Bennet has Elle in his clutches. Claire thinks she can talk to her father, reason with him, but Tobby says that Bennet's pretty single-minded once he comes to a decision, which is why they gave Claire to him in the first place. They thought he'd be loyal until the end; which, as it turns out, he has been. Only not to them. Tobby kneels next to Claire and ties a rubber strap around her upper arm, getting ready to draw her blood. He tells her that she'd be an asset to the team, what with her regenerative abilities and her superblood and all that. She tells him to take all the damn blood he wants, and just leave her father the hell alone. He sticks a needle in her arm and fills a bag with her blood.
Tokyo. Many a moon ago. Hiro has taken his father to the site of his mother's funeral seventeen years before, so that his father will understand his pain. Kaito acknowledges that it was the saddest time of his life, but that doesn't change anything. Hiro declares that his father simply cannot die! Kaito calls him a foolish boy, and orders him to take him back to the future immediately. Hiro refuses, and runs off, bumping into himself as a little boy. Little Hiro points a fake samurai sword at Big Hiro and says that he's Takezo Kensei. Little Hiro says that his mother died, and asks why his father is painting the grave. Big Hiro says that the names of the husband and wife are carved in the stone, and that the husband paints his name red as a promise to join his wife later. The stone will stay that way until the husband dies. Little Hiro can't believe his father will die, and says that he won't allow it, because he's a superhero. Big Hiro looks over at his father and suddenly realizes that he has been childish himself, and that he has to stop acting like a god. He tells his younger self to listen to his father and learn from his lessons. Past Kaito calls out to his young son, and Little Hiro runs off. Big Hiro walks over to his current father and tells him that he was right. Hiro acknowledges that he was being childish and that he's sorry for that. He will take his father back to his death right after they pay respects to his dead mother. Thank god -- I'm already getting bored with any storyline involving Hiro.
