If I can break that machine...
This is what you wanted to do, wasn't it?
However, no one can stop it now.
I've started us on a brand new course of history.
Get out of here, Chiko!
Mister!
The oscillation waves will not stop until the tower is destroyed.
The light will swallow all of Tokyo just like he announced.
Get as far away as you can.
There's still some time until the light reaches here.
What about you?
I'm going with you.
Memories of me will remain with you forever.
Even if this body is no more.
The secret of the fourth state will be buried in the light.
The tragedy that is about to unfold will etch itself into the memory of mankind, as an indelible darkness in their hearts.
Just like that abomination of a war did.
Our war will finally end here as well.
Everyone has a darkness within their hearts.
Chiko...
Even if they know nothing of war...
But,
we cannot look away.
If we look firmly ahead and go forward one step at a time...
Someday, for certain,
the door will open.
Well now, I've just about reached my goal.
All that's left is to clean up the discarded remnants.
The two of you are destined to die right here.
Shall I kill the girl in front of you, or shall I kill you first and instill the fear of death in her?
Choose one.
I'll go first!
I expected as much.
Mister!
Trust in yourself, Chiko!
OK.
Going to the roof?
What are you planning to do?
Ask Chiko.
She's already flown away from me.
You fool! What can a single child do?
For those of us who have lost our wings, what the birds see from up in the sky is an eternal mystery.
Damn you!
Fine.
I'll take your only hope
and rip it out along with the girl's feathers.
They're saying it's a new type of weapon.
Another war?
No, it's Twenty Faces.
They say it's dangerous here too.
Follow orders and evacuate!
There's nowhere to escape to!
You think this is funny?!
It's about time.
Gotcha.
It's just as she said.
Now you can't use your right arms.
No matter how much your muscles have been strengthened, in the end they're based on the human body.
The damage will accumulate with each blow you take.
Looks like losing the ability to feel pain has backfired on you, eh?
Well then, it's about time.
Could it be our turn now?
What are you climbing up there for?
Are you gonna knock over the tower with those skinny arms of yours?
So foolish.
Mister!
Why won't you die already?!
I can pull this off.
Hurry! Run for it!
Damn it, we'll never make it in time.
Akechi-san!
You're going to that tower too?
Yes.
It would be useless to try and stop you.
Let's go.
If I can change the direction of the oscillation waves...
You're thinking about using your body to stop the oscillation waves, aren't you?
That's just suicide!
You'll be sucked into the turbulent oscillation waves and carried down to the convergence point.
Your body will be torn to shreds.
I'll give you a different option.
Come with me.
Live with me from today on as the daughter of the real Twenty Faces.
Twenty Faces doesn't really exist.
It's time for this to end,
both you and him.
I am tearing Twenty Faces' announcement to shreds.
In that case, die!
Chiko...
You're trying to change the direction of the oscillation waves by bending the support beam?
What a wasted effort.
Please.
Bend.
For those of us who have lost our wings, what the birds see from up in the sky is an eternal mystery.
Lost our wings...
Someday, I'd like to gather talented scientists together and build a research team.
We will create a wonderful future with our own hands.
We can use water to create a brand new form of energy.
I'm very blessed.
I'm proud that I met you all.
No good...
I'm going to pass out...
Mister...
This is where we part ways.
What?
The light of the ruby is disturbing the oscillation waves.
It stopped.
Impossible...
Get down!
Get back!
Damn it... Ending up here...
I am to be the chosen one.
I will seize the future with my own hands!
You...
It's fine.
Thank you.
My experiment was a success. I'm satisfied.
Just as he said...
Go and ensure the future for us.
Boss!
No, it's not him.
It's an artificial face.
This is probably the professor.
But why does he have the Boss's face?
No, never mind. Where's Chiko?
Look.
The pillar of light is gone.
I see.
You did it, Chiko.
Mister...
Chiko, will you come with me?
People will keep calling you the Daughter of Twenty Faces.
They're going to think even worse things about you than they do now.
I wish I could be with you forever.
But...
I know that you will always be a part of me.
I can feel each and every thing you said, like seeds that have sprouted and are beginning to grow within me.
I'm not going with you.
I will live on as the Daughter of Twenty Faces.
And that is one step closer to the ideal you all dreamt of.
I'll have children someday,
and both you and I will be part of them.
That way, slowly but surely, in a few hundred years,
I promise our ideal future will arrive.
It'll be a great age for mankind.
It has to be, because you're such a wonderful person.
You were all in too much of a rush.
The age I was in has come to an end.
It's already become your age.
No.
You can live a new life. With a new name.
C'est la chaude loi des hommes
It is the warm law of men
New?
Shall I tell you your name?
It's...
Du raisin ils font du vin
From grapes, they make the wine
Du charbon ils font du feu
From coals, they make the fire
What do you think? It just came to me.
It's a great name.
Des baisers ils font des hommes
From kisses, they make the men
Thank you, Chiko.
It was a long night.
Are you happy we let them die?
They were important research subjects, weren't they?
I just wanted to see them with my own eyes.
Weapons of death that lived all their lives on a diet of chemicals.
The fact that it all ended here makes me happier than anyone else on Earth.
Chiko...
Ken-niichan!
It looks like it's all over.
Yeah.
Where's the Boss?
He went back home,
to his true self.
I see.
This all started because of one genius scientist.
A man who possesses twenty different faces, huh?
I said to let me inside!
No means no!
Why not?!
I told you that it's dangerous.
We don't know when it might collapse.
I beg you! The young lady is in there!
Yeah! Are you telling me to just abandon my good friend?!
Koito-san...
Tome-san...
Go on, Chiko.
This is farewell.
Ken-niichan...
I'll walk my own path.
I'm sure I'll find something that keeps me excited.
Take care too, OK?
Sure.
You too!
Who do you think I am?
I'm the leader of the Detective Girls, Koito Shunka!
Ah! Mikamo-san!
Young lady!
Ah-ah-ah?
You had me a little worried there!
Young lady!
I'm so glad you're safe.
Thank you, Tome-san, Koito-san.
I'm glad you're safe.
What happened to Twenty Faces?
He died. Up there on the rooftop.
I see.
The case is closed!
Please go recover Twenty Faces' body.
Yes, sir!
Well then.
I guess this means I'm my own boss from now on.
Care to join me?
Huh?
I bet we can have a lot of fun together.
That's true.
For a while afterwards, not a day went by where the newspapers and radio didn't report on Twenty Faces.
People made up all sorts of rumors about Twenty Faces' true identity,
but no one ever found out the truth about what happened.
Another story has come to a close.
But, your children will appear some day.
They'll scatter throughout the world and make their way here again.
For you've got a lot more than just one face, Twenty Faces.
And then...
Don't cry, Koito-san.
It's not like we'll never see each other again.
But I feel like you're saying "good riddance" to me.
I can't do anything about it. After all that fuss, I can't go back to school.
And I've been to England before.
Miss Shunka, I'll be right beside the young lady.
Well, it's just so she can go somewhere where the newspaper reporters won't bother her.
We'll be friends no matter where we are, right?
And the Detective Girls haven't broken up either!
We'll meet again someday. I know it.
