The Indian chick most likely had some sort of deal with the Syndicate Hei works for. Do research on the Meteor Shard and you can work there. For some reason, people are after these "items". That diamond plant thing, now the shard...hmmm

Jeez, Hei can be such an ass sometimes. To Mina especially, in these last few eps.

Anyway. So I'm confused. O.o Blaggkjsf.
Also: YES! We are finally going to get some backgroung on Yin. -happy dance- I have been dying to know what her story is for ages! :D

Come on. Every hetero female in the series is hot for Hei. If he got involved with half of them, he would rapidly pick up something considerably worse than mono. Give the guy a break. He burns up a lot of energy fighting for the Syndicate, then cooking up enough food to feed himself, and now you want him to be a lover, too?

Mina: Hei, I'm falling in love with you.
Hei: Look, lady, everybody falls in love with me, you're going to have to take a number and wait in line like everybody else...
Mina: No, really, I want to impress you by drawing public attention to every phase of our secret spy mission.
Hei: You know what would really impress me? If you could keep your mouth shut and let me take care of business for once...

Lol, the episode wasn't bad, but the ending was the most ambiguous thing I have ever seen.

It's clear Yin did something, but between the explosion, Nick flying off in a spaceship, the researcher's remuneration and the girl in the tower, I'm quite lost.

tho re watching it and commenting, i can't believe people never comments on the more important parts about this episode besides the confusion with Yin doing something, she obviously snapped him out of that trance, and was possible because only contractors can see or seance them. and no one noticed Hei's sister Bai helping him during the shot or at least doing something.

remuneration: the act of paying for goods or services or to recompense for losses

researcher that was talking to nick hei (tsk, they just have so much in common):
"she found what she had lost and completed her remuneration"

seeing as how she didn't show any contractor powers I'm guessing it relates more with the formal definition.
so the translators probably used that word to confuse us even more.

Wasn't the girl his sister? o.O I'm pretty sure that's her who he lost (and then 'found again withing the gate')
And the other one, at the end of the episode, that's the one from the OP...
Haha, the Indian girl seems to have hots for Hei. I'm with her on that one xP Although he kinda looks like a junkie.

...he's not a regular contractor, he seems to be way more emotional than most of the other ones...Especially when it comes to his sister. I felt bad for him when he said that in the end, contractors can't dream...

Sandgolem said:

I think...if it wasn't for her, Hei would keep sitting there in shock, and in the end - be captured by the people who came to see the commotion. She kind of snapped him back into reality. That's just my interpretation though.
- If you believe this place holds you, it is a prison.
If you do not wish to leave, it will become a fortress.

Yeah, I guess they probably said something like she payed her debt or fulfilled her contract/agreement with the Syndicate. The sudo translation didn't make sense. Guess someone was sleeping there. Still, this is the first time I've noticed something like this, so I still think they've done a nice job.

I loved this episode! Hei snapping is great, we get to see his motivations a little better!

Resaw it

Still makes lolwut sense wise when Nick and Hei "share" that vision. Nick is seeing what he lost. His innocence? His dreams? His sister is there too maybe he lost her as well?

The Indian girl is not a contractor. The dub says she regained what she lost, which is what several people say is possible within the Gate (which they acknowledge as an urban myth as well)

Maybe it was her ability to love? Maybe she closed herself off to it she did say she was focused on research only. And we all know how much attention that demands and how it would whittle away at other aspects of life especially when you plunge yourself into it. She was clearly falling in love with Hei. (Or maybe fascinated by him. You know like a sorta scientific love :P)

Yin's spectre somehow wakes Hei up and the head guy Sergei was a mole for the Syndicate as well.

I forgot how interesting this show was...

And maybe I'm going in too deep with this, but somehow I think Hei's dark, dull blue eyes sort of represent a night sky without stars. Stars seem to play an important role so perhaps this isn't totally off ^^.

I wonder who is thes green haired girl at the ending. She is holding Hei's head in openings so i'm curious what will be her role.

And also what Yin have done that Hei thanked her?
Great but quite weird episode; starless sky and Hei's sister for sure will be mentioned in next episodes.

SO who killed Corinna? Actually im pretty sure the person who killed the her was Nick. She was the one who had the meteor fragment in the first place and Nick killed her to retrieve it. But since Nick killed all those men outside the gate I'm guessing it's because the fragment was indeed out there...so maybe he might have killed Corinna thinking she had it then, but realized she didn't. Still, it's unclear although it may be the producer's error.

I wonder who/what Nick shot at though when he was attempting to shoot Hei. Of course, it appears to be Hei's sister but what/who was ACTUALLY there?

And who's that green haired girl?! Looks like C.C kid version :o

i think Hei thanked Yin because she was the one who was observing him and his location so that he could be helped. It appears that Old man when Hei was in the alley was the person that was to escort him out of that situation (which again was thanks to Yin).

speaking of Yin, I can't wait for next episode because i will finally get to hear/see the story behind her. YES!!

most say that was interesting, in any case, something i dont understand is. They put on suits when they take a walk inside the gate, because of poisonous fumes or something like that. BUT what i don't get is where it was that nick hid the meteor shard? and it must have been within the gate, because of the singatron radiation field which only happens within the gate.. and if even more so, yeah maybe the contractors can survive within the gate, but the guard didn't die, and in the end all the scientists are standing without suits around the hole Hei was sitting in after the explosion thingy which the singatron radiation field made. I DONT GET IT!! is this place dangerous or is it safe enough?????

I dont understand... what happened to nick at the end O_O... he.. blasted off in a nick rocket?? O_O um. so his dreams came true (in an illogical sense) so what actually.. happened to him, cuz im totally not buying that fact he blasted off into space with his sister -.- or even the fact he became a little boy.... anybody have any theories to what happened to him O_O..

lol all the girls fall in love with hei. must be that mysterious darkness he emits that lures girls into his grasp.

and as for the mina girl.. as far as interpretations go. i'll never figure this one out. found love? or finished research? could be anything -_-

i actually think at first nick hid the meteor shard inside the telescope, which is how they saw stars when there weren't any (it allowed them to see what wasn't there which is what happens when you are in the gate) sicne they were looking through the lens. then corinna tried to steal it (no idea what happened to her though!) causing nick to hide it elsewhere (pretty sure nick killed her as shown by obeisance).

the only thing that is slightly frustrating is feeling a lot of things are unexplained like where did nick go.. does it mean he fulfilled his dream but really he just died? same with previous episodes like the one about perfume.. what is it for/what's with the petunias!

I didn't really get what happened, so I hope we'll get some better solid explanation of the Gate's works. It was surprising and yet interesting to find that Nick and Hei share their ability, combined with how Nick was seeing Hei as a person.
One of the less-good arcs out there. Still the piano theme in both the parts of this arc were really touching and good.

Can anyone clarify the significance of the reversed lettering Mina pointed out? The group of Pandora scientists were examining the footage where the expedition crew were being attacked; the footage briefly showed street signs that had its letters backwards in which Mina mentioned, but then that was it. I can't figure out why that happened.

Great episode, although I have so many questions.
I want more of the outside/near the gate stuff, it looks so awesome and so many strange things happen.
I think we'll never get an answer to these questions, the next arc is already starting.
I would've loved if this show had more than 2 episodes per arc, with more explanation and stuff.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Heh. I'm assuming you've watched season 2 by now, wonder what you'd think about Hei there.

But back to this episode, is the Indian doctor a contractor? And it's funny how Hei has all the girls hot for him even when he's in clumsy Clark Kent mode.
