How does it look?
There's nobody there.
Are we in danger?
I don't know.
Let's come back some other time. We can never be too careful.
Let's go somewhere and think of a plan.
Yes.
You think everyone's OK?
Probably.
I hope we'll be able to join them without a problem.
No need to worry.
I know we'll meet them. The world is made to be like that.
What is it?
Nothing.
You...
Oh, good!
We're the only ones who've made it here so far.
The others are coming?
Aren't they?
We were supposed to meet here, right?
That's what he told me.
Yeah, that's right.
We had a map, so we talked about it just in case something happened.
Well, I guess I'll take over.
Are you hungry?
Oh, we have a field ration. Junior-kun had it.
Hey.
I'll take over.
Hey.
Let me have the gun. I'm unarmed.
Thanks.
She said she was hungry.
Right.
Oh no, what should I do? That was the last one.
That's OK.
Here.
That's OK.
That's OK. Here.
That's OK, I said!
I wanted you to have it.
When is Yomiko-chan coming?
I don't know.
She knows we're meeting here, doesn't she?
She should.
Well, um... Where were you when you came round?
In a mountain.
Drake-san was lying down next to me, so I kicked him to wake him up.
Hey, where's Yomiko-chan?
She should be all right. We are, aren't we?
Then why isn't she coming?
Um, please calm down.
Why are these things happening?
I want to go home.
Yomiko-chan and I were happy there. Why?
Why did you take us out of there?
If you people hadn't come, I'd have been able to stay with Yomiko-chan.
Why?
How can you be so selfish?
It's all your fault.
Junior-kun?
Because you gave birth to me, because you fell in love with a man...
who was trying to destroy the world.
Because you alone have forgotten everything and keep grumbling like that.
What? What are you talking about?
Why don't you understand?
Why do I alone have to know things that I didn't want to?
Why do I have to suffer for your share as well?
What are you suffering from? What do you know?
Explain, you stupid boy!
Do you think you'd understand if I explained?
You keep running away, imposing all the responsibilities on me.
Why did you give birth to me? So I can clean up your mess?
I don't want such a life!
You're not my mother!
No... no...
Help me, Yomiko-chan.
Marianne, get hold of the President and convince him to give us...
control over the US military.
No, not to Joker. To me. Yeah, thanks.
What happened?
Yomiko has taken Joker hostage.
They're rushing towards a mountain in Saitama...
where Nancy and others are hiding.
You've located Nancy Makuhari?
Along with Drake, Junior, and Michelle Chang.
A US troop is on its way to capture them.
Chief! Ms. Marianne is on the line.
OK! Connect me.
Headquarters, this is Razorback. We've found the targets.
Capture them immediately. You're allowed to open fire, but...
try to catch them without killing them.
Be especially careful with Junior. Keep him unhurt.
Copy that.
We've made it in time.
Now we can work things out.
Enemy!
Run!
Hurry!
No!
Hurry!
Be careful, Yomiko Readman will be there shortly.
Roger.
Go around to the back.
Hurry!
Run, now!
Nancy-san!
Junior-kun!
Come on!
There should be two others.
We made it!
They've got flamethrowers!
Please don't move. We have a hostage.
This is not good.
This is Razorback. We need instructions.
- We'll think of a course of action.
- Wendy-san.
- Hold your positions.
- What is it?
- Hold your positions.
Copy that.
Get me Alex.
Frankie-san.
Please buy us two hours. Don't let them raise the siege under...
any circumstances, and pay attention to the sky as well.
What are you going to do?
I'll explain later.
Tell the spin team what I'm about to tell you.
Long time no see.
Not a joyous reunion, I'm afraid.
That's your fault.
I'm sorry.
That's OK.
Where's Mi-nee?
Ran away with Junior.
Why? She was with him?
He's the one who separated us all!
You're controlling him, aren't you?
Not at all. His actions were wholly unexpected.
To be honest, we're the victims as well.
It seems betrayal is in his genes.
Joker-san!
So, now what?
We have to think of a way to get out of here.
The plane!
It's too dangerous now. Besides, with that many people...
Surrender is the best way for you.
Shut up!
Mi-nee's with him. We have to rescue her.
I'll go get some supplies.
Be careful.
I came to negotiate.
Anita King is in our hands.
If you want her back, give us Sumiregawa Nenene.
I can't do that.
If you can't, the girl will die.
If I don't return, her fate will be the same.
I'll give you 20 minutes.
Feed her whatever story and bring her down to the lobby.
I can't.
Yes, you can. She trusts you.
She's not your family. It won't be a betrayal.
Besides, it's to save your sister.
You're the only one who can save her now.
Twenty minutes.
Oh, what happened?
I'm sorry. I didn't have money.
Oh, sorry.
What were you writing?
Oh, just something that popped into my head.
I know it's not the time to be doing this.
But I feel antsy until I get it down on paper once.
Are you feeling sick or something?
No.
I'll go wash my face.
What would Nee-san do at a time like this?
You're the only one who can save her now.
I put some money over there.
Why don't you get some medicine, too? I'm also feeling a little...
What is it?
Someone from the British Library is in the lobby.
I'm going to hand you over to them.
Wha...
Are you serious?
Yes. Please come with me.
Who do they have? Anita or Michelle-san?
How do you know?
I'm a writer. It's not hard to guess.
There's no other reason you'd do such a thing.
This is the only way.
Otherwise, I won't be able to save Anita...
Don't worry. I feel the same. If she's captured, I want to rescue her.
We're family.
Sensei...!
Did you think I was the person who'd escape or blame you...
at a time like this?
What were you reading in my books?
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
Thanks for waiting.
Did you think this girl was capable of plotting anything?
Unlike you people, she's an honest person.
Things will move more quickly this way.
Nice to meet you, Sumiregawa-sensei. I have a car outside.
Take care of the checkout, will you?
I'll come with you until I see Anita.
No matter what.
Very well.
Frankie-san, I've got Sumiregawa Nenene and Maggie Mui.
What?
How are things there?
All of them have locked themselves in the house.
Copy that.
I'll take over the negotiation as soon as I get back.
All right, thanks.
Some woman.
Whom have you captured besides Anita?
Yomiko Readman, Nancy Makuhari, and one other.
What about Michelle-san and Junior-kun?
We haven't captured them yet.
You're going to release them all in exchange for me alone?
Of course.
None of them are necessary human resources.
But you need me?
Yes.
Your talent is vital to smoothly build the new era.
You mean the only part of me you need is my talent.
OK. Can I have a pen and paper?
What for?
To write.
Let's go back, Junior-kun.
We don't stand a chance if we go back now.
But Drake-san, and your mother...
She's not my mother!
I'm sorry. But she's no mother of mine.
Are you sure you won't regret it?
The only person she's waiting for is Yomiko-san.
How do you know that?
Because I do.
That book showed me everything when I went into it.
Everything. About her. About the British Library.
About the three of you!
About us?
What about us?
