It's a different man killing these thugs, different from the man who helped them clean out the rest of the mafia's tech.

When he feels his resolve wavering, he mentally queues up an image of what he saw in those tapes. His brother, head being thrust down and forward to -
They deserve it. They completely deserve it.
And now they've hit a hitch: a group of men, not all of them guilty. Hiro refuses to kill anyone who didn't touch his brother. That's his line and he won't cross it. Quietly, over their comm: ]
