Samuel tells him not to worry about it and they talk about families and saving lives. Peter suggests that in order for Samuel to move on from Joseph's death, he should visit his old home.

Nine weeks earlier, Joseph Sullivan, who sends a drunk Samuel away confirms to Mohinder that Samuel's powers are amplified in the presence of other specials. He insists he has the problem under control, and sends Mohinder away to destroy the film. Samuel has overheard them, and confronts Mohinder in his motel room. When he sees that the film has been destroyed (although Hiro had just swapped it over), he crushes a rock with his hand and hurls the fragments into Mohinder's chest.
