Mister!
Take good care of Chiko, Ken!
Mister!
Mister! He just...
Relax. He planned to do that.
That's the fifth time he's died. The boss has a bad habit of shocking people.
But he jumped from so high up.
He does this for fun, right?
Come on. If we don't hurry and get out of here, we'll die before we see him again.
Ready to go?
Yes.
It's OK this way, Boss.
I have to go to him.
Damn, how many bombs did she plant? That bitch.
This is horrible...
We don't have time to worry about them.
Come, let's get a move on.
What's going on with this thing?
Ken-niichan!
This is just like steering a boat.
Ken-niichan, that was amazing!
It looks like we may pull this off yet.
I'll keep watch from here. You go find us some parachutes.
They should be around here somewhere.
Akine-san...
What do you think I'm paying you all these consulting fees for?
My apologies.
But I did find Tome-kun and Miss Koito with my own hands.
Detective...
Isn't it inappropriate for you to downplay the importance of the heiress, the young lady Chizuko?
Ah-Ah...
But it's just as I told the police detective.
When I came to, I was just there with no idea of what was what.
God forbid if something horrible were to happen to that child...
If only she were to be killed now...
Madam!
Please trust me to handle it from here. You should go rest.
We're relying on you, Inspector Kawada.
Much obliged.
Well now, can I hear your version of the story?
I'm happy to tell you, but...
When I woke up, I couldn't move my body.
I had to rely on Mr. Akine to get me out of there.
And do you remember how you got that way?
If she keeps on eating these, she'll eventually die of poison.
And, as the Madam told you, day after day you unwittingly gave these to her.
If things go bad, you'll be considered an accomplice.
Did you recall something?
No.
Nothing.
I see.
Not here.
I'll just have to do what I can.
How's the Madam doing?
I'm more worried about the young lady Chizuko than about her.
Seriously. The police and the detective haven't been any help at all.
They're all incompetent.
Seriously.
I'm the only one who can protect her.
It's Tome.
Come in.
Pardon my intrusion.
What is it?
Those are for Chizuko's health.
No, ma'am.
They're poison.
Poison that I've been putting bit by bit into her food every day because you told me it was for her health.
My, that's terrible.
You've been serving Chizuko poison?
According to your instructions.
Here I go out of my way to special order that medicine, only to have you secretly switch it on me.
Who is it that prepares her meals, I wonder.
Ma'am!
It's quite horrible that you'd attempt to kill the heiress.
What a terrible servant.
So, will you be calling the police then?
Why would I go to that much trouble?
I'm just going to discharge you, effective immediately.
I might even add a little something to your wages up until today.
You could maybe start a business somewhere out in the countryside.
Do you think you can find a chief housekeeper who's as good as I am?
The young lady is quite delicate. She can detect even the slightest variation in taste.
Unlike you, apparently.
If you're discharging me, then I guess I'll go right to the police.
If you let me stay here, I'll whittle away your life piece by piece.
What is it you wish?
Please provide me with a house for the young lady.
And then assign me to be with her.
I'll bear the responsibility of protecting her.
I did it.
Young lady...
I hope you're safe.
Parachutes!
Damn it! The parachutes!
What?
It'll only turn to the left?!
I beg you, don't crash into the city.
Ken-niichan, I'm sorry. The parachutes...
I figured that.
I just need to think of a way to get us out of here.
Calm down! Don't panic!
Calm down! Please take shelter inside a building!
In any case, first you need to clear this away.
Hey, you there!
You can't just leave your car there; it's in the way.
Oh, excuse me. I'm Akechi.
Oh, the detective?
My apologies!
You need to evacuate quickly. We don't know when it'll crash.
C-Certainly.
Ah, what about you?!
I'm going to get things ready in case it crashes into the sea.
Oh! It's turned towards the sea somehow.
We're turning back again.
What if we crash into the city?
Don't worry. We can land safely in the water if we can hold it for two more laps.
This was definitely...
This is bad.
Hey, we're still up in the air.
Are we crashing?
They were just put to sleep!
Now we'll have to land on the water no matter what.
Failure isn't an option.
Shit!
Chiko!
I'm fine.
Ken-niichan!
Hang on tight!
What's this?
We made it!
We're going to crash right into the sea.
It's coming back again!
Oh crap.
That thing's filled with passengers!
I need all of you to help.
What should we do?
Listen up! Everyone available needs to take out their boats!
You guys gather some blankets!
Yes, sir!
Call for ambulances, too!
We're going down.
H-Hey!
If I let you go, you'll run off somewhere like the Boss.
All right. Then hold on tight so I don't go anywhere!
OK.
Come on, grab my hand.
They couldn't still be...
You all right?
Yeah.
I think we can make it out.
Let's go before she sinks.
OK!
Chizuko-kun, are you OK?
Akechi-san?
Thank goodness.
I...
Twenty Faces didn't tell me anything.
That road that he's walking down...
I'm going to walk down it without him.
Thank you so much!
I'll go to the hospital at once.
Oh? Oh dear.
I can't thank you enough.
Yes. I'll stop by early in the morning.
Thank you.
Please take care of the young lady tonight then.
Thank you so very much.
Young lady...
Wow, is that so? Mr. Akechi saved her.
That's wonderful.
I don't plan to have her return here after she leaves the hospital.
Please hurry and provide me with the mansion we spoke about.
I understand. I'll give you one.
I see.
In the city of Toran.
Something curious happened there.
A Japanese person was murdered in the outskirts of Toran.
He was a part of some secret research organization during the war.
I heard a story that Twenty Faces was connected with the same organization.
Twenty Faces was?
They found the remains of a burnt document.
Among the ashes, they were able to make out one piece of information.
A document...
Yes.
We don't know who burned it, but...
I feel that it's a clue that will bring us closer to Twenty Faces.
What was...
...written on it?
The fourth state of water.
The fourth state of water?
The truth can take on a form that no one can recognize.
Just like the water there.
If you freeze it, it turns to ice. If you heat it, it turns to steam.
People don't hold any doubts about the existence of those three common forms—liquid, solid, and gas.
But imagine if there was a fourth form that no one knew about.
Do you know something about it?
I don't know...
...what it means.
Give our best to the young lady.
Sure.
When she leaves the hospital, you'll bring her here one more time so we can see her, won't you?
Well, we'll see.
OK, I'm off.
Why did Twenty Faces go after Chizuko-san again?
Say, where's that car going?
Tell us!
We don't know anything.
Please leave now.
Hey, don't be stingy!
My, Tome did good.
She became the young lady's exclusive guardian and left the mansion.
And she's free from that big-mouthed Madam.
I'm so jealous!
I won't forgive this.
Young lady! It's me, Tome!
Tome-san!
No!
You need your rest!
Lie down now.
Geez, Tome-san.
I'm fine. Just some scratches and a sprain.
Thank heavens.
I'm so glad you're not hurt.
I'm back now.
