FlashForward 1-9: “Believe”

Two weeks before the Blackout, we see a young woman wearing a business suit in Tokyo. She’s in an office bathroom, clearly nervous. A man enters and calls her name – Keiko Arahida. Apparently, they’re ready for her. We next see her in a board room, talking about her attempts as a child to build a robotic hand. It appears to be a job interview, and she’s trying very hard to impress a group of stern men.
