Hiro teleports Adam away, but Adam drops the vial, releasing the Shanti Virus. Matt, Nathan and the Boy Blunder Peter find the shattered vial and jump into action, after Peter whines about it being all his fault for listening to Adam (Well, duh.) but Nathan slaps him out of it. People start falling victim to the virus in the paper factory so the trio decide to go to the cops and warn them. The cops ignore them at first, but Matt puts the whammy on all of them so all of them follow Nathans instructions without question. There is a storyboard cutaway showing a scene with Peter causing a landslide to block ways out of town to isolate the virus, and then it jumps to a press conference similar to the actual ending, but with Nathan warning the world of the virus instead of the existence of superpeople. At the end of the conference, Nathan collapses, as he succumbs to the virus.
