Right on target!
Damn, I'm out of things to teach you.
I can't believe you're just an 11 year old girl, Chiko!
I'm not 11.
As of today, I'm 12.
Please give me anything you need washed.
Sure. Wash this, will you?
Sure!
Chiko, did you wash my shirt?
I put it in the usual location.
Your German's gotten pretty good.
Thanks.
OK, that does it.
Please go pick up some ingredients for tonight's dinner.
OK!
Oops. Hey, Chiko. Also...
Whiskey — something cheap and strong, right?
A-Ah, you remembered.
Muta-san.
I'm on my way to go shopping. Do you need anything?
Oh, yeah...
Are you all right?
You fool!
Don't drop your guard after just one kick!
You don't know what will happen when you set foot outside here.
You need to finely hone your senses.
OK.
Also,
if you're opponent is a man, aim for his most sensitive spot.
Most sensitive?
His crotch.
You don't throw someone with your own power.
Use your opponent's power against them.
OK.
That one wasn't bad.
All right!
Keep it up, Chiko!
Go, Chiko! All the way up!
Come on! You can't lose to her, Goro!
Oh no!
Goro-san, take my hand.
I lost. You're pretty agile, Chiko.
I won.
Now pay up.
Damn it!
Goro, no dinner for you!
What?! No way!
Hey, stop goofing off. There's work to do.
Chiko, what happened to the dinner preparations?
R-Right! I'll get right on it!
You should be doing things that are a little more suitable for girls.
Right.
Thanks. It was delicious.
Oh, just leave those there.
I can't believe she won against Goro.
Thanks to her, I made quite a profit.
See, I told you!
No one's more agile than Chiko.
And I hear Muta is teaching her how to fight?
I'm teaching her German and sleight of hand.
We're teaching her knife throwing and self-defense too.
She's really passionate about learning.
It's been a year since she arrived?
Maybe it's high time we let her try her hand at a job, huh?
Yeah. She'll make a great thief.
Don't say such foolish things.
You know, don't you think she's started to look a bit like the boss?
Yeah. I've been thinking the same thing.
She sometimes even gets that same strange look in her eyes.
Yeah, and just the other day...
Damn it! It's not opening no matter what.
And I know this is the right combination.
What's wrong?
We got the treasure just fine,
but I can't open the safe!
May I try?
Sure.
There's more than one way to skin a cat.
It's open.
That sounds like something the boss would say.
You think?
It's because she's taken a special liking to him.
It's Chiko.
Come in.
Hey.
Uhm, may I borrow one again?
Sure.
Take whatever you'd like.
OK.
Do you enjoy reading?
Yes. I've only been reading detective novels.
I love to study.
Reading isn't studying.
It's just for fun.
You're a pig if you don't read books,
but you're a dog if you think you can take lessons from them.
A good book is like an old friend.
You'll find out new things about yourself each time you read it.
I learn more from his words than from any book.
Hey, bring the check!
Damn, I'm broke already?
The search for Chizuko-san is progressing quite smoothly.
Unfortunately, I've run out of funding again...
Understood. I'll prepare some more.
Please keep searching for Chizuko.
That detective is performing for you just as you expected, isn't he?
Yes, there's no way that man could possibly find her.
Which is just what you intended.
Just what we intended.
Dear, how are you feeling?
Our attorney Kurosaki and I will manage to run the company somehow, so please rest easy.
You must focus on getting well.
When did you start...
Come now, here's your soup.
When did you start poisoning my food...
You're a wretched woman.
You wanted everything for yourself all along.
Hurry and get better, dear.
This is where they'll hold the black-market auction.
What are you doing here?
Ah, well, this place is so big that I got lost.
That's doubtful. Come with us.
Hold on a second. I'm sure my companions will be looking for me.
There's no use resisting.
Hey, hey. Are they serious?
Don't be so angry. I really am just lost.
What's this?
So this is where you are.
Geez, what a careless guy.
Everyone's waiting for you.
Let's blow this popsicle stand.
You saved me, Kai.
According to Ken and Kai's report,
the black-market auction will begin tomorrow night at 7 o'clock.
Our target this time, "The Lorelei's Tear", will be brought to the hotel an hour early, at 6 o'clock.
There's a statue of a maiden that has brought mankind rest and tranquility since the Middle Ages.
"The Lorelei's Tear" refers to its eye — the world's largest sapphire.
Though it's the property of the people, someone slipped in during the war and carried it away.
Now they're going to turn it into feed for the pigs swarming to this auction.
Before that happens...
...we'll snatch it.
That's a pretty dangerous assignment.
The hotel will be crawling with armed guards.
One of them almost pulled a gun on me!
It'll be no easier than if they were police officers.
So how will we steal it?
The auction hall is on the third floor.
The number of guards will be limited by the size of the elevator.
I see!
We'll cause a blackout and grab the treasure. Then we can escape through the ceiling hatch.
I wonder if that'll be so easy.
So, who's gonna do it?
We can't send Ken or Kai. They know their faces.
You're out too, Skipper. You aren't getting through any small hatches with that body.
I'll do it.
Hold on. There's someone here that's even more suitable.
Who do you mean?
It's Chiko!
Those guys won't be expecting a young girl.
She's agile enough. She won't have any problem escaping through the hatch.
No good. She's not ready for a job yet.
And what's more, it's dangerous.
She'll only need us to help when they chase her.
Chiko can handle it well enough.
It's not your place to decide whether she goes or not.
You're right. Chiko should decide.
But if she's one of us, she needs to get some work experience.
Or she won't survive down the road.
Chiko's already prepared herself for it.
Right?
I...
I'll...
...do it!
Chiko...
You understand, don't you?
We're thieves!
What I understand is that the thing no one else in the world would give me...
...is what everyone here has given me.
It's not that I want to become a thief.
I want all of us to be a true family.
Chiko...
I'll help with your work.
Because I'm the boss's...
I'm Twenty Faces's daughter.
We'll cause the hotel to blackout at 6:05.
Meet us on the roof.
Skipper, you look like you're giving away your own daughter.
Shut up.
They're coming.
Take it from here.
OK.
Three of them.
It's fine; I can do this.
It stopped.
I hope this car doesn't fall.
What's with this kid? She grabbed onto me all of a sudden.
She's probably scared of the dark.
Give that back!
What's wrong?
The briefcase!
The kid's gone!
What's going on?
Up there!
Shit! Where did she go?
It's moving.
Looks like the backup generator kicked in already.
That's sooner than we expected.
This is bad.
You're not getting away, kid!
Shit! She's going down! On the next car!
It's stopped on the next floor down.
Take the emergency staircase.
We'll meet you down there.
We'll catch her in a pincer.
Oops. You're not getting away.
We've got you surrounded.
The jig's up,
young lady.
Listen.
You won't be able to strike at them with that body of yours.
You need to slam into them as hard as you can and run like hell.
Crap! Hold it!
You don't throw someone with your own power.
Use your opponent's power against them.
You're a real pain in the ass.
It was negligent of me thinking you were just a kid.
What?!
The jewel was stolen.
The thief is some kid. She's on her way up using the elevator.
Why up?
I don't know.
In any case, let's follow her up in the other elevator.
What's with you, you asshole?!
Say it again, I dare you!
I'll say it as many times as I want to!
You god damned pig!
Hey, you're in our way. Move.
What's your problem?!
These idiots...
Don't be stupid! Don't pull that out here.
Let's head for the stairs.
Hey, you two. Are you having a pleasant day?
Who the hell are you?
Move!
Oh, you don't like flowers?
In that case...
All right. Don't move now.
This is fun!
Hey, hey. Better head down or you'll catch a cold!
Want to try and pull your gun?
Then this world will become just a memory.
Now I just need to make it to the roof.
There! There she is!
Don't let her escape!
Think.
What would he do?
What would he...?
All right. That's as far as you get.
Give that back to us.
Hey! What did you do with the jewel?!
It's leaving in a car by now.
What?! You little brat!
How dare you do something like that!
Go after it immediately.
Hurry!
I'll dispose of this damn brat.
She's all yours.
Mister.
You did good, Chiko.
Come, let's head back.
Back to our house.
OK.
Just make sure we're not forgetting anything, OK?
Chiko! Boss!
Mister, what song is that?
Was I humming?
Yes, a very nice song.
It's an old song. Everyone knows it.
I don't know that one.
