Mohinder kind of shuts up after that and Nate points out that Mindbender Maury isn't likely to just offer up his veins for the injection. Niki just dryly says, "I can be persuasive." Heh. She sure can. Tobby appreciates the offer, but it's Matt who has to take Mindbender Maury down. Matt's like, "Whuh? All I can do is read minds!" Tobby's like, "Dude. You have the same power as your dad. You can bend minds. Now I want you to bend his." Matt totally disagrees with this because he's a wimp with confidence issues. "I can't do any of that!" he says. "Well then you'd better learn fast," says Tobby. "Because you're the only one who can stop your father." Matt looks like he just ate about nine rotten hot dogs with moldy mayo on them.
Japan. Again. Some more. Lord. The guard outside listens in as Yaeko's father bitches about how he's responsible for all this due to the fact that he made the guns that White Beard's about to use to take over the emperor. The downfall of Japan will be his fault. Yaeko waits until the guard walks away to say that they're not finished yet. She makes quick work of the lock holding her chains together as she says that women are always underestimated. Once she's out, she rushes right over to Hiro and pulls the opium away from his face. "Why is everything so purple?" he asks with a smile. Because you're high, dude. Live it up. Everything's gingham in my world right now because I just snorted champagne off the back of a Time Out New York. Rock on.
Yaeko peeks outside and sees their guard being berated for walking away from his post. He starts heading back as she hurriedly tells Hiro that he'd better wake up and do his time-traveling thing or they are DEAD. Hiro tries and tries and tries and nothing happens...until the guard walks in and all three of them are gone. Even though, you know, Hiro was lying on a board, Yaeko was with him and her father was way back over in the corner nowhere NEAR either of them. Never mind that. They got away. Can we move on now?
