Episode 20 Bonjour Tristesse
Is he still here?
We shouldn't let our guard down.
I'm not letting my guard down.
Now we'll hear him if he moves.
You're indeed an experienced fighter, The Paper.
But how long will you last with that burden?
She's not a burden!
We're allies.
Fine.
Um, it's better not to run out of paper you need for defense, right?
I know.
Your ally is unreliable, isn't she?
Calm down.
Anita-san, I have a plan.
What?
There!
I see him!
Anita-san!
Hurry up!
Yes!
That's a strange woman.
He was still on the enemy's side!
But I wonder why they only left you behind.
How should I know?!
I'll rip him to pieces after I get my sisters back!
Right.
But before that...
let's hurry up and finish it.
Huh?
Finish what?!
Freeze!
Drop your papers, raise your hands, and surrender.
Oh, yes, whatever you say.
Why?
Calm down.
There are proverbs in Japan that go...
"make haste slowly" and "fortune comes at the corner you go around".
We've captured The Paper and Anita King.
Anita-san.
Have you heard the saying "the early bird catches three pieces of paper"?
Zero.
Shoot them!
You're pretty good.
Thanks.
It's frightening.
The world is progressing as smoothly as we planned. It's almost frightening.
Although there have been some irregularities.
Dokusensha and America are no longer threats.
The world will kneel down completely to the UK again...
No, not "again", but this time around.
Working hard, we all believed and awaited your resurrection.
But will you respond to our expectations in the new world?
Some have been skeptical. But to have such doubts is foolish.
The only dream we have is the unification of the world through the UK.
And it will soon come true.
Let us return. To London. To our England.
Ninety-nine percent of the publishing companies, printing shops, bookstores...
secondhand bookstores, as well as TV and radio stations in Tokyo...
are now under our control.
We'll need only two hours or so to bring it to 100%.
Good work.
Now what? Do you want to start immediately?
The prototype version is ready for operation right now.
But it still should be tested.
Wendy-kun.
Yes, sir.
We'd like to conduct a simulation experiment of the Perfect Language.
I need you to compile a list of candidate sites.
It's already done.
I've picked up Jinbo-cho in Kanda, Tokyo...
the second-hand bookstore district in Waseda...
educational facilities including a university, a high school...
a junior high school and a grade school...
as well as the local government buildings, public meeting sites...
and an academic meeting that's to be held today.
The average IQs of the test subjects are evaluated on a 5 point scale of A to E.
Very well.
Then you can conduct the simulation.
And submit a report on the results.
Certainly.
Would you like another cup?
Yes, please.
She's changed.
It's a good thing.
A human being who doesn't grow up has no right to live.
Mr. Joker.
The President is on the hotline.
Begging your pardon. I need to borrow it.
Excuse me, just for a second.
I think this is them.
Judging from the speed and track, it's probably a helicopter.
How are we going to go after them?
There is a way.
But I'm going to need your assistance.
I won't be able to produce enough velocity, alone.
I'm concerned about the fine-tuning of the left side as well.
Sorry to ask, but can you please help me.
Huh? No way!
I always handle the offense.
You'd need Ma-nee to do that kind of thing.
Don't say that, please.
I can't!
There's no way.
If you can't, everyone will be captured.
Your sisters and Sensei...
We're the only ones who can rescue them.
OK, what do I do?
Heave-ho.
Please control the left side of the plane.
I'll tell you when we circle, then you must concentrate.
Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho.
Heave-ho!
Um...
First of all, could you please calm down?
When you're mentally distracted, it affects the paper.
I can't help it!
Anita-san.
What do you think you're doing?!
But...
It has a strange calming effect on me, so...
Didn't it work?
Of course it didn't!
Forget it. Just get on with it.
Three, two, one...
Zero!
Calm down.
I can't!
Anita-san.
I did it.
Go up.
The work has already started in Paris, Bombay, Beijing, and New York.
What about the response from the locals?
Overall, it's positive. To them, not only is it a cultural activity...
but it is also being funded by someone else.
Make sure you let them know who's funding it.
And what about Dokusensha?
Dokusensha?
Oh, yes, it almost slipped my mind.
Don't worry, everything is going well concerning them.
There will be a big announcement in the near future.
I think you'll be pleased to hear it.
All right. I'll look forward to hearing it.
By the way, when will I be able to see the new Mr. Gentlemen?
Let's see.
Why don't we have dinner tomorrow?
Report your current status.
No problems so far.
We'll continue the flight and be back at the estimated time.
Copy that.
Is there someone you're worried about?
No.
Maybe you can work something out if you ask the big guys.
What do you mean?
Oh, you know...
You're a VIP. You get whatever you want.
You're different from the hired hands like us.
Lucky you.
Well, the world is an unfair place, isn't it?
Had I been born an agent like you...
I'd have earned all the money and living a rosy life...
Hey!
What do you know?
What?
What is this? Hey!
A little to the left.
OK.
I didn't know I could do something like this.
They're below us.
Let's go!
There they are.
Let's hurry!
Mi-nee!
Ma-nee!
Sensei!
Nancy-san!
Mi-nee! Ma-nee!
Mi-nee!
Ma-nee!
There are some problems in regards to the installation...
in the southern hemisphere.
We'd like to ask for your assistance especially concerning South America.
You can count on it.
But we'll need at least 48 hours notice to get the military forces ready.
Yes, of course.
As for the future plan, we'd like to have you give a speech...
after the system's completion.
That's fine.
That's a part of my job.
Thank you. Also, if I may...
I'd like to discuss the content of your speech with your staff.
Certainly. Oh yes, how about at dinner tomorrow?
I appreciate it.
Oh, however, some fine-tuning will be required...
after the regeneration. Just to be on the safe side.
So we'll contact you again at a later date to set up a formal appointment.
Get away from me!
It's your fault!
It's all your fault!
You stole the book!
You wouldn't give it back to them when they wanted it!
That's why my sisters got dragged into all this!
You said we'd be able to rescue them!
Bring back my sisters!
We should've done this from the beginning!
I hate books, and I hate you!
Get out of my sight!

Hisa-chan.
I'm sorry for scaring you.
I came back.
But I couldn't contact you because of the circumstances.
Hisa-chan, please help me.
Hisa-chan?
Who are you?
