Can Hiro Save his Dad?

Can Hiro make it back to save his Dad? Somehow I doubt it. One of the things we learned in Season 1 is that somethings are just meant to happen, and there is no way to prevent it. Heroes is a little inconsistent with this idea. They allowed Future Hiro to change his present, by ensuring that the bomb went off. Why "changing" this outcome is possible but not something like the death of Charlie is not.

Hiro states, when he comes back from trying to save Charlie, that there was nothing he could do.
No matter what he tried, she died. I think the same is going to be true for Hiro's father. In fact, I'm not even 100% sure he is going to try. I believe Hiro is going to discover that Adam Monroe is indeed his father's killer but he is going to stop short of actually preventing it. Hiro is seen in the above picture on top of the Deveaux Building. This appears to be on the outside patio. But below we see a figure in the corner, watching what is happening, but yet doing nothing about it.


Why would Hiro allow the death to happen? Not certain. I can't think of any scenario where he would actually allow that to happen. The nearest thing I can come up with is that his father actually asked Hiro to let him die, so Hiro stands by silently when it does happen. If that is the case, his death must serve a purpose.
