When you watch television, brighten up the room and watch it from a distance.
This city is constantly surrounded by white smoke.
Steam flows out from everywhere, hiding the city within a thick cloud.
No other energy source, other than coal, could be emracted from this land.
For this reason, in this world,
the advancement of steam powered engine technology took a quantum leap.
Taking cover in the white web, numerous thieves
and phantoms have come out of the woodwork.
The people, who live in the darkness and the white smoke,
have branded them disturbers of the peace.
We address this city surrounded by the smoke as... Steam City.

The Approaching Demon's Shadow
Come in.
Narutaki!
How do you feel?
Thank you!
I’m feeling much better.
The dazed feeling in my head is gone, and the doctor said I should be released soon.
I see. Sounds good.
Enough about me. How's Goriki?
Other than his head and a section of his body,
most of him has been blown to pieces.
What?
But it'll be all right.
Ever since Goriki was incapacitated after his battle with Shadowbolt Mark II
Kawakubo has prepared a number of spare parts, just in case.
I see.
I think it'll take some time, but Goriki will definitely be up and running again.
I’ll be back soon myself.
No, you should think more about your health than anything else.
Got it?
Coffee...
I’ll brew an exceptional blend and be waiting for you.
Yeah!
it was as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
The people who were around here and there,
the steam pumping out from all over the place,
the gentle breeze blowing through the tree leaves...
What's the matter?
But there was definitely something different.
You're dazed since you haven't seen your girlfriend in a while?
But there was definitely something different.
We just didn't know what it was yet, though.
I wonder what it is?
is it the noise in the city?
There's something different.
Something?
What's so different?
If I knew that, I wouldn't be having a problem!
Something about the view of this city is different from normal.
What's with this uneasy feeling?
There's something out of the ordinary.
What is it?
Are you all right?
Yeah...
Looks like the northern winds are strong today.
At this time of the year, these winds aren't anything unusual.
Excuse me.
Oh, hi, Narutaki.
The lady from the coffee shop...
Don't stare! I’ve just had it treated.
What happened?
I was walking the other day, and suddenly a steel beam fell.
A steel beam?
As you can see, I’m quick on my feet, so I got out of the way.
But it was close.
But the foreman at the construction site wouldn't admit to being at fault.
Oh, it was horrible.
I see.
Oh. I cooked up a new blend, so come in and try it sometime.
Oh, of course.
it’s me.
Sir, there was a call from the owner of the model shop earlier.
So, the parts I asked for have arrived.
See you.
There's no need to report that to me in a hurry, though.
Well, there seems to be something strange going on.
What do you mean by that?
During the phone conversation,
this big noise came out of nowhere and the line's been dead ever since.
This is...
Mister! Excuse me! Please wait!
Oh, Narutaki. It was horrible...
Why did this...
Some truck with no one inside rushed in.
Sorry... The parts I ordered for you were...
Never mind them.
instead...
Why...
is this...
Well, at any rate. Doesn't seem like there's anyone here.
Huh?
Search over there!
Lend me a hand over here!
Detective Onigawara! Where's Inspector Yagami?
He's been rescued, but he's unconscious.
No...
The inspector was summoned by someone, and this is what happened.
After piecing together the stories of eyewitnesses,
it took less than a minute for everything to turn to rubble.
But if that's the case...
So, that place is gone.
I should have at least given her a Steam Detectives badge.
Hello?
Kawakubo! How much longer will it take?
What's the matter, Kawakubo?
Sir, in the worst case scenario...
Mr. Goriki will be impossible to repair.
What did you say?
Mr. Goriki has an old-style PD diode known as the Nagaoka SR2 built into his core.
This is the only part that cannot be substituted with new parts.
is it such an extremely rare item?
it’s a part used experimentally in a select group of first generation megamatons,
so it is difficult to say if there are even any left in museums...
Then what are we going to do?
If we completely replace the core, we can at the vey least restore movement.
But then... He will no longer be Goriki.
I’ll search through some places I have in mind first thing in the morning.
The possibility is not zero, after all.
I’ll be counting on you.
What about you, sir?
I’m headed towards the hospital!
I’m concerned about Ling Ling.
Ling Ling... You probably know about the fuss over the explosion.
But please... Just for today, don't go back to being my talented assistant just yet!
Naru... taki...
Say what? Ling Ling was kidnapped? Who the hell-
it may be the same criminal who summoned Inspector Yagami.
What's the meaning of that?!
Once we have the results from the analysis of the explosion,
the answer should be clear.
in that case, you come along too!
Come to Dr. Kitmer's research lab.
Ling Ling... Be all right...
What the hell?
Doctor...
This may get out of hand.
So, it's...
The liquid picked up as evidence from the crime scene is definitely the Demon's Water.
So, it's... Phantom.
in addition, it's been refined to an incredible degree.
in other words, the enemy can use the Demon's Water at will.
At will...
This city... It may be time to abandon this city.
Papa? What's the matter?
Oh, Gina, it's nothing...
Nothing at all.
Papa...I can't breathe... Papa...
Doctor!
I’m all right!
Damn you, Phantom.
Narutaki Detective Agency
What?!
Even Dr. Kitmer was...
You're in danger too, Kawakubo!
Stay there with Dr. Meyard!
I’ll ask the police to assign guards to you!
Sir, I appreciate the thought, but I must decline.
Kawakubo!
If we do that, then what of Mr. Goriki?
If we're being targeted by Phantom,
it's all the same, no matter where we are or who we're with.
Kawakubo.. .
I feel the same, Narutaki.
As a scientist, I’ll decide which path to take myself!
Sir, please just once in this lifetime, listen to my selfishness.
Then promise me one thing.
Yes.
When Ling Ling's back, you're to drink the coffee I made with us.
Understood!
Knight Phantom...
What are you planning to do?!
You aren't planning on doing something like that again here...
Stop it!
If you're looking for a target, just make it be me!
Ling Ling!
Detective Onigawara!
Ling Ling! Ling Ling!
Ling Ling!
Stand back!
Ling Ling! Ling Ling!
They're both still alive.
But by the look of the needle mark on her neck,
it may be a coma induced by a Large quantity of insulin,
causing her to have low blood sugar.
Can she be saved?
I’d say her chances are 50-50.
If she'll wake up from the coma with some glucose and a blood transfusion...
But her leg wound from being shot is severe.
At the vey least, she didn't suffer massive bleeding
thanks to the bullet being lodged in the wound.
She needs to go to surgery immediately.
it won't do any good!
Knight Phantom!
This city will disappear! Everyone will die anyway!
Why? Why are you doing this?
That's a stupid question.
If you're going for a target, just make it me!
Don't involve Ling Ling or the people of this city!
So, you don't understand yet.
What is it? What am I supposed to understand?
Until you understand, I’ll keep on going!
And in the end, this city will disappear!
I won't let anyone else be claimed as a victim!
Kawakubo's next.
Lang Lang!
Please look after these two!
Kawakubo.. .
I’ll...
Definitely...
protect you!
If we don't find it here... Then...
I won't let Phantom have his way!
Please! That is... Look more thoroughly in the back!
Please give me an answer after a thorough search.
Ouch! You're hurting me, old man!
I need that part! Without it, I...
Mr. Kawakubo!
So, it's finally come for us.
Get down!
Sir...
All right!
Kawakubo! Doctor!
Sir!
Kawakubo!
No... There has to be one... Nagaoka... SR...
Goriki!
This can't be! Why?!

Preview of the next episode
What's the meaning of this, Kawakubo?
I’m asking you if this is the truth!
I want to know the truth!
If I die, will you spare the people of this city?
Narutaki has been troubled and suffering all by himself.
And Then, There Were None
