Zzzzzzzzz. Snork! Oh, sorry. Nodded off there. Man, if I ever have trouble sleeping, I'm just going to play the Matt and Mrs. Matt scenes over and over again. They're better than sleeping pills. Matt's explaining the whole abduction scenario to his wife, and she's all, so, he kidnapped you and thenâ¦gave you this ability? And Matt's all, TOTALLY! And I'm gonna git him for it! Onlyâ¦Matt had his ability before Bennett ever showed up, so, really, he shouldn't be attempting to get revenge on him for that. Kidnapping? Yeah. Rampant experimentation? You bet. Being snotty at the botched raid? Of course. But for his actual ability to read minds? Not so much, dude.
Mrs. Matt thinks this is all crazy, and Matt says again that Bennett and the Haitian Sensation "did this" to him, even though they really didn't, and that he has to find them in order to figure out what this is all about. Mrs. Matt thinks at him about going to the F.B.I. Matt hears this and says he can't go to the F.B.I. because they'll think he's crazy. He cuts their boring-ass conversation short by saying that he has to go get his ass handed to him by three captains at a review hearing. He heads into the house. Mrs. Matt follows. Inside, he turns on the faucet in the bathroom and water barely gurgles out, and Matt tells his wife he'll call the plumber, and she's like, are you always going to be in my head? And he's like, whatever, I'm bored. And she's like, you and me both, brother. And he's like, well, why don't I leave, then? And she's like, that'd be great. Then we can get on to the next scene and stop boring people with our boring story and our boring lives.
Parking Lot Prison. Hiro and Ando are hiding beneath a car, wondering if the bad men were trying to steal the painting Simone gave them. If they don't deliver it to Linderman, though, they won't get the sword. Ando wants to know why everyone's always chasing them. Hiro says it's because he's special. "Well, I'm not special," says Ando. "And I'm tired of getting chased." Hiro says that Ando's free to surrender, but he won't, because heroes never give up. Someone gets into the car above them, starts it up and drives off. The boys stand up and see a black van coming toward them. They run, but it catches up with them and one of the guys gets out and grabs Ando. They drag him back to the van as Ando calls out for Hiro, who's managed to escape over a fence. Hiro stands there for a second, unsure of what to do. Then he jumps over the fence and offers his special self in trade for Ando. "Release un-special Ando and I go with you!" says Hiro. One of the guys just grabs Hiro, and both boys are flung into the van. "You came back for me," says Ando in surprise. "This is how we roll," says Hiro. Hee. And aw.
