Japan. Hiro looks down over White Beard's camp. Yaeko tells him that there's nothing more he can do; White Beard has won and they have to get out of there. Hiro says that something has to be done to stop White Beard. Yaeko says that, even with Hiro's ability, what can he do? Hiro says he can destroy their guns. "Without them, White Beard is nothing." "And what about Kensi?" asks Yaeko. "You cannot stop him. Nothing can." Hiro observes that Kensei's heart has been broken and that pain has made him cruel; but he's good inside. Once again, Hiro's need to feel that all people are basically good is going to kick him in the motherfucking ass. Yaeko basically agrees with me when she asks Hiro if he's really going to risk his life for his faith in Kensei. Hiro just deeply nods at her in assertion. "It won't be safe for you here," he says. "Meet me under the cherry blossoms. Wait for me." He turns away and closes his eyes and disappears.
Company Compound. Mohinder is removing vials of the virus from a cabinet. Niki's commenting that it's amazing that they're going to all this trouble over one drop of liquid. Mohinder comments that the virus could kill an entire species. "Or it could stop Maury and save our lives," says Niki. Mindbender Maury is in the distance, glowering at them from behind a window. He mind-shoots a whole slew of psycho-babble at poor Niki's brain, asking her to show him her nightmares, to show him her soul. "How do I turn you into a killer?" he asks. And Niki, being the accommodating girl she is, gives him the answer.
D.L. shows up in the doorway and tells Niki that she's basically fucking up royally by hitching up with The Company. He tells her that she's not making up for her sins; she's actually dragging poor Micah down with her. Niki starts talking to D.L., saying that he's wrong and that The Company said they'd help her. Mohinder, of course, is like, "Uh, Niki? Who you talkin' to?" But Niki's in her own little world now, so she's not listening to Mohinder. Niki continues to talk to no one and Mindbender Maury makes his D.L ghost tell Niki that The Company is lying to her, just like Linderman and just like Jessica. "But you can still do the right thing," says D.L.
