Hiro and Ando blah blah blah about the sword some more, pondering how swords must be used respectfully, but they're also for killing, so that's why they're sharp, etc. Hiro wonders if he's going to kill the Bomb Man; maybe THAT'S his destiny. Hm. Maybe that IS his destiny. And maybe it's MY destiny to order some dumplings with hoisin sauce because my mind is seriously wandering right now, this scene is so boring. Wait. It's about to get a bit more exciting. There's a guy leaning against their product-placed car. The guy sees them and Hiro comments that he doesn't look very friendly. No, he doesn't. And neither does that gun he's pulling out from his holster. Hiro and Ando run off, only to be stopped by a car that screeches to a halt in front of them. They yell for help, but the guy who gets out of the car looks just about as unfriendly as the guy with the gun, so it's clear that our Bouken boys are under siege.
Hey, Heroes Eclipse! Can you tell me what your significance is to the whole show? Because you've been around since the beginning, but you've never really been explained. I dig that you're the whole Earth/Shadow/Light credit sequence and everything, but really, I'd like to know what the hell you're here for, buddy, and just what the hell you had to do with the creation of the Heroes. You can email me your response any old time, dude. Muchas gracias.
We catch up with Mohinder at his Brooklyn palace as he's staring into a microscope one might find in, say, a high school science lab. Wow, he must be a scientist or something! There's a knock at the door and it's Nathan, sheepishly introducing himself as the guy Mohinder yelled at awhile ago. "I believe I came off as a deranged lunatic," Mohinder calmly says with a smile. Yes, but you're a pretty deranged lunatic, so it's okay. Nathan asks if he can come in, and Mohinder and his pink sweater of girliness invite him inside. Seriously, what is he wearing? That sweater's so pink it's practically neon. Oddly, it's a very good color on him, but it's still a whacked-out sweater for a guy to wear. Also? It's a v-neck, which is a little too leisure-suit for me. Like, Paul Newman wore cashmere v-necks under suit jackets in The Color of Money, and that was okay because, hi, he's Fast Eddie Felson, but the v-neck without a t-shirt under it look is so very wrong for Mohinder.
Wait -- what was I talking about? Oh. Right.
Nathan says that he's looking for his brother, and Mohinder says, "That makes two of us." Nathan's all, huh? Mohinder's all, been calling him for two days, dude. Boy's not picking up his messages! Nathan says that Peter's run off, and he's afraid that his brother's going to somehow hurt people. He asks Mohinder if he can explain what the hell's happening to his brother. Mohinder brings up The List and says that it contains the names of 36 individuals who carry a genetic marker that Papa Suresh believed gives them their special abilities. "And you think Peter is one of them?" asks Nathan. "As are you," says Mohinder. Nathan sidesteps the discussion of his superpower and says that he wants to talk about Peter.
