Ando gets a weird look on his face and runs back to the sword on display. He points out the symbol on the hilt, which looks remarkably like the infamous "S" symbol from this show. Ando says that he recognizes the characters that make up the symbol and that they stand for "great talent" and "godsend". Hiro decides that he's just like Kensei and that he needs the sword to control his powers. "It's my sacred object," he says. "With it, I can control my powers and fulfill my destiny." Ando's all, uh, and what might you mean by this? Hiro's all, why, I mean we take it, my incredulous friend! Ando's all, what's this WE shit, Kemosabe?
Brooklyn. Home of Indian Quest-Seekers Who Wear Hideous Scarves. The Scarf of Fugly Colors isn't in this scene, but that doesn't mean it isn't lurking, just waiting to pounce on Mohinder's innocent, unsuspecting neck. I think it'd be a smart idea for him to carry around some sort of weapon in order to thwart its wooly attack. Mohinder's entertaining a man who may or may not be an actual F.B.I. agent. They're discussing The List and how grateful Mohinder is that the F.B.I. has finally decided to take it seriously. Due to the multiple deaths associated with The List, the F.B.I. almost decided to focus on Mohinder as a possible suspect, but he has proof that he was in India at the time of some of the murders.
Mohinder tells the agent that all the people on The List share a unique genetic marker that his father was able to map and track using the Human Genome Project. The F.B.I. agent is all, yeah-huh. Seriously. He's not even listening. That's why I thought he was either just giving lip service to Mohinder (dirty!) or wasn't F.B.I. at all. Mohinder says that he's been trying to track these people down in order to warn them about Sylar. The agent scoffs openly at Mohinder's declarations and says that they ran Sylar's name through their system and didn't get any hits. But they did follow up on another name that was on The List: Sara Ellis. He holds up a picture of her and, lo and behold, it's actually Eden, only with long hair.
Mohinder's mildly shocked and tells the agent that he knows Sarah as Eden McCain and that she lives across the hall. The agent informs him that, seeing as they just fished Eden McCain's body out of a Canadian lake, she's not living anywhere but the morgue at the present moment. She had a bullet to the brain and was classified as a suicide, which, really, she kind of was. Now Mohinder's full-on shocked. He sits on the desk and, when the agent asks if Eden was his friend, he responds that he doesn't know what she was.
