Trivia
- Au Co is named after a mythological fairy who, in Vietnamese legend, married a dragon and gave birth to the Bach Viet, the first Vietnamese people.
- The fate of the village at the hands of Linderman and Petrelli seems to reference the Bến Tre incident, where those responsible claimed that something positive was accomplished by a violent and destructive act. Though at first disgusted by the whole affair, Mr. Linderman will eventually embrace this philosophy, leading to his plans involving the explosion.
