kono taiyou wa yoru mo kageyaite yume wo miru
This sun is shining even at night, dreaming
soshite isogu kimi no me ni
And then you who was hurrying
yakitsuite hanarenai
Burned it into your eyes and it never came back
owarinaku tsuzuku uta
This song that continues without end
omoi sae koete yuku
Goes beyond even our thoughts
kimi no me ni utsuru youni
I've left open the depths of my heart
mune no oku aketa mama
So they can be reflected in your eyes
If I draw my sword, you'll be killed.
Oh, I remember now! The other trick is called Ostomy!
Remember now?
Yeah! That!
Now that we got ourselves a plan!
Let's go!
Are you sure?! You'll only get yourselves killed.
You fools!
What?!
They're smashing through the walls!
I'll get 'em one at a time!
It's pathetic really.
Kicking down the door would've been easier.
Now I'll just corner one of them in here and...
Smashed through to the next room, huh?!
And through there too.
The light haired kid's gone down the stairs.
I guess I'll go after the other one.
What, another wall?!
Where'd he go?
Maybe he's using Zetsu.
Killua!
Are you there?!
Yeah, over here!
How'd he get back there?!
Right... That last hole must've been a decoy.
He broke through the wall,
then doubled back and hid, so I'd run right past him.
Damn these brats!
It's time we take this guy down, okay?!
Their auras are gone.
They must be planning to jump me from the shadows...
Fools.
En is an advanced application of Ten and Ren.
Usually the aura that envelops the body can be expanded
to as big a space as the user wishes.
En expands that layer and lets me feel any movement around me.
A true master can detect something fifty meters away.
I can make the layer around me expand to the striking range of my sword.
But that's all I need.
If anyone enters within my range, I'll sense him...
And kill him!
I'm ready for you.
Moron! I can't believe he actually fell for that!
Have fun standing there all night by yourself, you knot head!
But you know I really would've liked to give him a beating!
Forget it, there's no way.
He would've killed both of us before we could even touch him.
You sure?
Yeah.
We only know the basics of Nen. We wouldn't stand a chance.
What's with you?
Now you're back to talking like the Killua I know.
You know, my job is to be the one who says all the crazy stuff,
and your job is to keep me cool.
That's what I need you for.
Yeah, whatever you say.
So, what's the plan?
Well, I guess that all depends on what we wanna do.
What do you wanna do?
I wanna kick their butts!
Yeah, I figured.
That's actually not so different from our original plan.
Three of 'em are worth six billion in bounty money.
But if we wanna do that, we've gotta refine our Nen first.
Their abilities are way beyond ours.
Somehow we have to figure out how to compete at their level.
The quickest and easiest way to find out would be to ask Kurapika.
Huh? Why?
Because the chain dude those guys were talking...
is Kurapika.
What?
You mean you hadn't figured that out, yet?
He's the one?
So that means he killed a member of the Phantom Troupe?
That's what it sounds like, yeah.
Although I don't know how he could've done it.
I guess we'll know for sure when we see him.
If he really did do it, we have a chance too.
After all, we learned Nen about the same time he did.
What we have to do is develop the unique abilities we were born with.
We're going to need that power...
No, we're going to need more power than they've got to go against them.
Right now, Kurapika's the only one who knows how to help us.
Yeah.
I would've never made it this far without your help.
Now let's both become Hunters, all right?
Let's go find Kurapika.
Looks like everyone's here now.
Now then, you've been hired by the Ten Don's to carry out one order...
And that is to eliminate all members of the Phantom Troupe.
They might make an appearance at the auction tonight,
which is being held in the Cemetery Building.
You will provide security, and if any of them appear, kill them.
How you do so is entirely up to you, so use whatever method you want.
There's only one thing that matters to us and that is getting the job done.
If you need anything, now's the time to ask us.
Could I get a detailed floor plan of the entire building?
A map of the area would help too.
We should probably have code names for each other.
Let's just use colors. I'll be Yellow.
All right, I'll be Blue.
Then I'll be Red.
We're not playing some child's board game here...
Huh? Do you have something to say?
Who are you?
I'm Silva.
And I'm Zeno.
Silver and Zeno?
What kind of color is Zeno?
They're not colors, they're our real names.
Call us whatever you want,
but we don't take orders from anyone.
We'll do things our way.
Silva and Zeno...
Don't tell me you're from the Zoldyck family.
We are.
What? The Zoldyck family?!
You mean the legendary assassins that no one's ever seen?!
Gee, it's not like we hide out all day and only go out in disguise.
So Zoldyck isn't an code name, but your real name?
That's right. I'll give you our business card if you want.
It has our home address and phone number.
If you want someone killed, just give us a call.
We'll even give you a 30% discount.
So, they're Killua's family...
I see. They're definitely scarier than the others.
It's not that the rest of them aren't capable assassins...
But they're clearly intimidated by the superiority of the Zoldycks.
The only ones who can compare to them...
are these two.
Who cares about code names?
It's not like we're really gonna use them. Most of us work on our own anyway.
I agree. We all have different styles, different ways of doing things.
And I'm gonna do what I want.
But our target is the Phantom Troupe.
It's too dangerous to go against them alone!
There's only one sure way to deal with them, and that's to rely on teamwork.
Teamwork, huh.
Hey, what do you think about that?
Well...
Forcing people into a team isn't going to do any good.
If anyone needs help, they can use the Community.
I think there will be fewer conflicts if we work on our own.
I know I'll be fine by myself.
Five against four. That settles it.
If you guys want to form a team, go ahead.
Exactly.
The auction starts at nine o'clock, right?
That's right. We'll escort you to the building.
Hey, Nostrade.
How are things going?
Not too bad. I can't complain.
"Not too bad," he says!
You're a big shot now, huh?
Seems like only yesterday he was leading a gang of two-bit hoodlums.
And now here he is, rubbing shoulders with Capos like us.
By the way, who are your hands, Nostrade?
Mind if I take a look at 'em?
My hands?
Well, I heard you rubbed them together so hard you got burns.
I heard you don't even have fingerprints anymore!
Guess it's not easy hiding behind your daughter's predictions.
But just be careful though...
Rub too hard and your hands will burst into flames!
It's hard watching a man get so jealous.
Zenji!
Stop!
Zenji!
Just what the hell do you think you're doing?!
Do you know who I am?! How dare you touch me!
Take it easy, Zenji.
He's not worth it.
I think you made your point.
Yeah, that's enough.
Nobody actually accepts you!
You're bleeding.
I'm fine.
Too many men resent my success
because they're unaware of their own incompetence.
They have no clue what they're up against.
The most valuable asset in this day and age is information.
And do you know what information people want the most?
No.
Information... of the future.
I'm talking about precognition.
If you can predict the future with 100% accuracy,
you can rule the world.
Becoming one of the Ten Dons is no longer an unattainable dream.
I'm going to keep climbing all the way to the top.
And I'll probably make more enemies along the way.
Kurapika.
Yes?
I'm prepared to reward your loyalty.
I want you to know that I expect great things from you.
Doubt... doubt... doubt.
Doubt. You're a liar, Daddy.
Whenever you say the words,"I promise,"
I know you're lying to me.
Well, fine! If you're not gonna take me, I'll go by myself!
But who knew I would need a pass to get in.
I won't make it in time for the auction!
Geez...
What am I to do?!
All right then, you are clear to enter.
So, even the police are cooperating?
Because it's the Phantom Troupe.
They've established a one kilometer perimeter around the building.
Anybody who tries to breach it will be pumped full of lead.
Hello.
Ah, Kurapika! We have a problem!
The Boss ran away!
Give me the details.
It looked like she was having fun shopping,
so when she went to the restroom, we thought nothing of it.
But she must've had it all planned
because she changed her clothes and everything.
Okay... I think I know where she's headed.
Really?
Yes. Go back to the hotel and wait for us.
Will do.
Basho, Kurapika says he knows where she went
and he wants us back at the hotel.
Yeah, all right.
By the way, do you think Kurapika's gonna be okay?
Well, I think at least my flute calmed him down a little bit.
And how do you think he feels about being an assassin?
From the sound of his heartbeat when he was asked to join their group,
I could tell he had some reservations about it.
Then why agree to it?
He's driven by an all-consuming goal that no one could understand.
A goal that he would be willing to sacrifice even his own life.
I think all of the decisions he's making right now are being determined by it.
What a way to live. I couldn't do it.
I mean is there really anything worth giving your life for?
It's a sin not to enjoy your life.
But whatever. To each his own, right?
We got an idea where the Boss is at, so we'll head back to the hotel.
Okay.
He could be right.
What is it?
It appears your daughter has run away.
Don't worry, I think she's headed to the same place we are.
The auction!
Most likely. She has had her mind set on acquiring the mummy.
She never makes things easy.
We're sorry, the number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable.
Please hang up and try again later.
Damn it, she disconnected her phone.
She won't be able to go. You can't enter without a valid pass.
Yes, hello, this is Light Nostrade.
I want you to put the cops at every checkpoint on high alert.
If a girl in her late teens tries to enter without a pass,
please hold her until I get there.
She's my daughter.
Oh wow!
This is where they hold the auction!
Thank you, I was at my wits end when I couldn't enter.
You're welcome.
It is the least I could do, after all, your father's always been good to me.
But don't tell him you got me in.
Yes, of course.
Looks like we still have a little time before the auction gets underway.
Would you like to have a drink while we wait?
Sure!
Cheers!
That tastes so good!
I was really thirsty from all that running around.
It was that hard, huh?
Yeah! The bodyguards my dad hired never give me any room to breathe!
But I escaped right before they were gonna put me on an airship back home!
Really? How did you manage to slip away from your bodyguards?
Well, first I got them to take me shopping before we left,
and I bought all this stuff I could use to make a disguise.
Then I went to the bathroom, changed really fast,
and then snuck away in a crowd of other girls.
You're lucky you didn't get caught.
I know! I was so nervous!
So, I hear you're good at fortune telling.
I can't quite remember who told me that though.
Yeah, I'm good at that. Lots of important people ask me to do it.
How accurate are your prophecies?
They say I'm right 100% of the time!
Huh? What do you mean? Aren't you the one who tells them?
Yeah, but it's automatic, my hand writes the fortunes by itself.
Really... that sounds interesting.
Think you could tell me my fortune too?
Sure!
Name: Chrollo Lucilfer. Oh wow, twenty six years old.
You're a lot older than I thought.
Do I look it?
Not at all. And you're pretty handsome too!
But your name's kinda weird.
My friends always call me the "Leader."
What?! That's even weirder!
Okay, here it goes...
What?! You let her go?!
Yes, but this was before I got your orders.
She was alone in a taxi, and she didn't have a pass, so I turned her back.
She was mad at first, but eventually she left.
We were just a little bit too late. All right, then...
Print out my daughter's picture and give it to every cop in the city!
And do it now!
I can find her.
Do you have map of the city?
All right, there you go.
Can I read it?
Go ahead.
My fortunes are usually made up of four or five poems.
Each one talks about what will happen every week of whatever month it is,
so in this case, the stuff in the first one might've already happened.
Okay.
"A precious moon is lost."
A precious moon is lost
The others mourn him, with ceremony grand
Up to Heaven, the mighty moon of frost rises
With a melody of the mourning band

Beside the bloody Scarlet Eyes
Though cut in half, shall be your number

Amuse yourself with the entr'acte

Seek out new friends once in a bind.

The one most needed, you're sure to find.
Your fortune telling is amazing. It's very accurate.
Take this first poem...
No, don't, don't, don't!
I never read my own prophecies.
I get the feeling they'll be more accurate if I don't get involved.
Fair enough.
E-Excuse me, I'll be right back.
That's the first time I've ever seen a man cry.
Whoa! Why is my heart beating so fast?
It appears as though your daughter is already inside the Cemetery Building.
What the hell?! Driver, step on it!
It's almost time, shall we go?
Yeah.
I'm glad it was you who helped me.
Why?
Because unlike my dad,
you don't seem like the kinda guy who'd lie to me.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
A part of my fortune has to do with a requiem for the dead.
Do you believe in an afterlife?
Hmm... I don't really believe in that stuff.
I believe predictions for the future are meant for people who are alive.
Even if you fortune said something like that,
I think it's meant to provide some sort of comfort to you, Chrollo,
and not the deceased.
Yes, you're probably right.
Well anyway...
I'm just repeating something I once heard.
When I was a little kid, I saw this fortune teller on television.
She said that the purpose of fortunes was ultimately to make people happy.
She said that hers often held ominous warnings about what was going to happen...
To give people the chance to pray and become better people to avoid those bad things.
I was so impressed by how true that sounded
that I've wanted to be a fortune teller ever since.
You're not talking about the Galactic Matron?
Yeah, that's her!
If I remember correctly, she doesn't believe in an afterlife.
No, she doesn't.
That's kinda why I don't either.
I believe in spirits.
Which is why I want to fulfill my dead friend's wish.
Your dead friend's wish? What was it?
You wanna know?
Yeah, tell me.
What he wanted...
was to wreak havoc.
Miss! Are you okay?!
Miss! Miss!
Miss?!
It's time...
The requiem begins.
Bullets are flying everywhere!
Yorknew has turned into a war zone!
Next time on Hunter X Hunter:
Spider Rendezvous x Zoldyck Family x Final Battle!
Kurapika! Kurapika?!
