So the cop too?
Yeah. It'll be perfect, since you're not known around here.
But don't be careless.
Take pictures afterward to keep the police on their toes.
Roger.
Lauro-san. This is Elsa.
How does it look?
The same as yesterday.
There's one officer in front of the door.
Okay. Take a rifle and go all out on them.
Yes, sir.
Don't forget the pictures.
"Cluster Amaryllis"
You know, Police Chief...
You should consider what's wiser-
working with the government or working with terrorists.
If I hear any complaints, you'll be next.
We have a lot to do too, you see...
Lauro-san!
--All done? --Yes! It was very easy--
Did you get the pictures?
Yes.
There's still some film left. You should've used it all.
There.
Have it developed when we get back to the agency.
Yes, sir.
Alright, let's get going.
Zweihundert, zwanzig, drei...
Euro?
'Oiro'.
You read the German 'eu' as 'oi'.
Okay...
And you read 23 from the first digit, so it's 'drei und zwanzig'.
You should really study the numbers.
5.56 is 'fuenf komma fuenf sechs'.
7.62 is 'sieben komma sechs zwei'.
Elsa.
Is there any part you don't understand?
No.
I see.
Adults and children are the same-
when there are 10 people together, not all 10 get along.
The same is true for we conditioned girls.
Elsa lives in her room alone, and rarely talks to us.
I've never tried talking to her myself...
You talk to Elsa, don't you?
Not really. Just whatever topic is at hand.
I'm... not really good at starting conversations...
I hate her too- all she does is stick to Lauro.
If only she were as adorable as you...
You talk to her, even though you hate her?
Yeah. How do I put it?
It would be easy to avoid people I hate, but maybe it's in my nature?
Oh, while we're on the subject,
both you and Claes used to be scary like that.
So you helped us change?
I'm not that conceited.
It all depends on the Handler and the conditioning...
The Handler...?
You're fine with Claes but not with Elsa?
Claes is pretty unsociable too.
I don't really know how, but she's just different...
You used to be afraid of me, Triela?
Here's today's cake- Ricotta Tarts.
They came out good.
Thank you as always, Claes-sama!
That sounds creepy.
Marco.
Oh, Giuse. You're training too?
Yeah.
How's Angelica coming along?
I'm mostly back to normal!
That's good. But don't overexert yourself.
I won't.
I'm still a better shot than you.
How can I get better?
There aren't any special secrets to it.
You get better with constant practice.
Yes, sir.
--Yo, Giuse. --Lauro...!
I thought you were chasing the R.F. in Tuscany?
Already took care of it.
But the local police are hiding 'em, so there's a bit left to do.
I see.
Oh, yeah. You're free this week, right?
I'd like your help, if that's okay.
--I'll give you the details tonight. --Alright.
Well, see you later!
I'm going to work with Elsa?
Possibly.
--Let's go. --Right.
Who's there?
What do you want?
I thought we might talk...
So the police were sheltering the terrorists there.
I killed a cop a couple days ago as an example,
but the police chief refused to yield.
In fact, he threatened to announce the existence of the agency.
The section chief finally authorized his assassination.
The police chief, huh? Do you have a plan?
Yeah. I got things ready before coming here.
The area around the police HQ is perfect for sniping.
With two shooters, it should be a cinch.
A sniping attack, huh?
What? Is Henrietta a bad sharpshooter?
No, she's decent enough.
But she might try to show off in front of me or the others.
I guess we'll do it.
I do want to make Henrietta more confident.
Say, Giuse.
Do you always worry about the cyborgs like that?
Yeah...
So the rumors are true?
--What rumors? --All kinds.
I don't know. Half of them are probably true.
I've seen how you treat her--
I really can't stand messed-up guys like you.
Then don't invite them drinking.
Idiot.
I invite 'em because I hate 'em.
By approaching them and having heart-to-heart talks like this,
I can learn what makes 'em tick.
That way I can tell what I like and don't like about them.
From what I can tell, you seem like a pretty good guy, Giuse.
Thank you.
As Kennedy once said, "Let us not be blind to our differences."
There's nothing to talk about.
But we might be working together soon...
Fine, I'll warn you now.
If you get in Lauro-san's way... I'll make you pay!
Why...?
Why won't you get along with everyone?
Who's more important to you? Your Handler or the other cyborgs?
Lauro-san is the most important to me.
Nothing else matters.
I'm going to use all of my time for Lauro-san's sake.
I polish his rifle while I think about him...
...despite not knowing how long we have to live.
None of you have love!
That's not--
That's not true!
I... I like Giuse-san a lot too, you know!
I see.
Then there's nothing left to talk about. Leave.
Say, Lauro.
What?
I realize you put importance on being sociable.
Why, thank you. I'm glad I invited you drinking after all.
But don't you think you're a little cold toward Elsa?
Don't confuse cyborgs for colleagues.
You'll never see me infatuated with those things like you are.
I try not to think about it too hard.
Cyborgs are definitely great.
They even hold your guns for you.
Give them the order and they'll even buy you a panini.
But there's no need to go that far.
At the very least, if it weren't for the kids of Section 2,
I wouldn't have a job.
Oh, don't mind my rambling;
just keep doing things your own way.
Tell me, Lauro.
Why did you join the agency?
The pay is good. I'm gonna need a tidy sum soon.
Cyborgs have it tough, but so do we...
And we don't have Handlers to take care of us.
Ain't that the truth?
--You ready, Giuse? --Yeah.
I sent the bulky equipment ahead.
--You're smarter than I thought. --Yeah, well...
--Henrietta. --Yes?
--Is this your first time in Siena? --Yes.
When our job is over tomorrow,
Iet's take a look around town on our way back.
A little excursion should be all right.
Okay!
Lauro-san.
I'm going to try my best on this next job!
Yeah. You do that.
If we kill the police chief directly in front of his office...
...it'd send a big message to the rest of the provincial police.
How did you manage to get such a good location?
I have all sorts of connections,
plus museums and the like are basically under government control.
Lauro-san.
What should I do with the Hecate?
Set it up next to your SIG for now.
I'd prefer not to use it if possible.
Right!
Lauro.
How is Elsa acting today?
What do you mean?
She just seems a little eager.
They often miss when they're like that.
Elsa has never failed before. That's what "conditioning" is for.
Your good nature is disturbing, you know that?
I see...
Here come the chief's cars.
The target should be in the second one.
Shoot after he exits the car and climbs the steps.
Time it carefully.
--Elsa! Pay attention! --Right...!
Hey! The safety is still on!
I'm sorry...!
Giuse. Switch with Elsa.
She seems likely to miss today.
--No, I'm fine! --Alright.
Lauro-san!
Sorry, Elsa.
Hurry! He's stepping out of the car!
Perfect.
Alright. Good work.
Let's get out of here.
Elsa! Get moving!
Useless.
--Henrietta. --Coming.
"Fever"
