Angels and Monsters
Adam takes Hiro and Ando to a "specials for hire" bar and says that this is the place where persons with special abilities can be hired. The bartender, Milosh, is angry at Adam for having an affair with his wife. He throws a punch at Adam and knocks out Hiro by mistake, then chases Adam out of the bar. Ando tries to revive Hiro without success, letting Adam get away.
Hiro and Ando are drinking at the bar and Hiro insists they can't lose heart; the world is depending on them. Ando comments that it can't get any worse. Just then, Daphne and Knox enter the bar. They want to offer Hiro a job. Hiro says they're bad asses and wants to sign up. Daphne says that it isn't that easy and that he has to prove himself. Knox takes a sword from the wall, gives it to Hiro, and says he has to kill Ando. Hiro takes the sword, apologizes to Ando (noting some sacrifices have to be made), and thrusts the sword into his friend's chest.
Dying of the Light
However, Hiro stops time, and teleports to a Japanese novelty store.He teleports back to the Angry Skunk Bar two hours earlier, and tells Ando that he will fake stab him a few hours later without much further explanation. Ando hides the packages of fake blood in his shirt, and Hiro teleports back to the current time. Hiro stabs Ando, and he falls to the floor, seemingly dead. Knox says that Hiro is "in," and walks out. Daphne, shocked and enraged that Hiro would do something like that, says that he is supposed to be a hero. Hiro, however, says that he is now a villain like her. Daphne hands Hiro a folder with an assignment in it. Opening it up, Hiro sees a picture of Usutu. Daphne explains that he's a "precog" that lives in Africa. Daphne uses her supersonic speed to run away, and Ando sits up. Hiro tells Ando that he now knows what it feels like to be killed by his best friend, and they teleport away.

Notes
- In Libertad, the bar is shown advertised by a sign that just reads "Angry Skunk". However, in Dying of the Light, the bar's name is shown in screentext as "The Angry Skunk Bar".
Trivia
- According to the commentary for Angels and Monsters, the set for the "specials for hire" bar is the same as the one used for the Wandering Rocks pub in Season Two. This is the same set used to film scenes at the Burnt Toast Diner, which was built on the Universal backlot.
