Kurapika: We have to assume that this is the work of a conjurer.
Killua: You’re right. No doubt about it.
These buildings weren’t here yesterday.
This has to be nen.
Leorio: Ah, man. These guys are out of their minds.
They have someone who can conjure up entire buildings.
Kurapika: We should be prepared for any traps they’ve set.
Killua: Yeah. It also pretty much proves
they’re still around here somewhere.
The problem is these buildings create way too many blind spots.
I can only see 20% of the area at one time.
Kurapika: But if you move around too much,
there’s a chance you might run into one of them.
Killua: I’d really like to avoid that.
The thing is I have no idea what i’d do
if I heard their voices behind me.
My heart is already pounding.
Kurapika: Voices, huh?
Killua: What?
Kurapika: Nothing. Never mind.
Just go back to your post for the time being.
I’ll call you back in five minutes.
Melody, how are things going on your end?
- Melody: We’re still shopping. - Neon: I wanna see that one.
Melody: This is harder than normal bodyguard work.
I think basho’s about to snap.
Neon: Let’s go back to the other store.
Melody: Mm-hmm. Okay, I understand.

Chrollo: Just to be perfectly clear,
you’ve already told me
everything uvo knew about the chain user?
Shalnark: Yeah. When we were investigating
the nostrade family using the hunter website,
uvo pointed out the three at the top
as the members he thought he recognized.
Chrollo: It was late on the night of the first
when we realized that they were the daughter’s bodyguards,
and the girl, it was just yesterday when I met her.
Phinks: That’s when you stole her ability, wasn’t it,
the first time you made contact?
Chrollo: Yes.
And here is an updated list
of all the bodyguards in question.
There are two new members.
Phinks: Oh, wow.
Shalnark: They already updated it?
That was so fast.
Franklin: So I count seven bodyguards.
There might even be more than that.
That’s an awful lot of people to guard one little girl.
Phinks: He loves his daughter.
Chrollo: More like he holds her ability
in higher regard than the girl herself.
Her father got to where he is today
by capitalizing on her power,
and of course there are many who resent his advancement.
Shizuku: But why did she come to yorknew city in the first place?
Pakunoda: My guess, she’s here for the auction.
( Thunder crashes )
Shalnark: Are you okay?
Chrollo: Shizuku, pakunoda...
Pakunoda: We’re listening.
Chrollo: Nice.
How could I have been so blind?
Damn it. What’s wrong with me?
Nostrade’s daughter comes to yorknew city. Why?
If only I had thought about it,
perhaps we could have found the chain user sooner.
It’s safe to assume that this girl came to yorknew
for the auction along with her bodyguards.
I was too focused on her fortunetelling ability
to give it much thought.
According to the website,
she’s known to collect certain body parts.
It would seem that’s her hobby.
Shalnark: Body parts?
Scarlet eyes.
Chrollo: That’s right.
Which means that the chain user
joined the nostrade family for a reason.
He knew that the Scarlet eyes would be sold at the auction
and that nostrade’s daughter
would be interested in buying them.
The chain user wants two things,
to exact revenge on us and retrieve the eyes.
Okay, shal, what about the Scarlet eyes?
Were we able to retrieve them?
Shalnark: Sorry, but i’m not sure.
I had the auctioneer running on autopilot
for pretty much the whole auction.
Chrollo: Kortopi...
Do you remember copying the Scarlet eyes?
Kortopi: Yes, I did.
Chrollo: Your copies function as your en,
so can you tell where the copy is?
Kortopi: Yes, if i’m touching the original.
♪
Shizuku: I found them!
Kortopi: Got it. There’s something of the same shape
in that direction, approximately 2,500 meters.
( Nobunaga thinking ) Is the chain user there?
Kortopi: We should hurry.
The effects of the en will fade in a few hours.
Chrollo: Do you have the map?
Phinks: Here.
Chrollo: North by northwest, 2,500 meters.
The beitacle hotel.
Nobunaga: Boss...
Let me go check it out.
I beg you.
- Chrollo: Very well... - ( Nobunaga gasps )
Chrollo: But i’m coming with you.
Nobunaga: You got it!
Chrollo: Paku, machi, shizuku,
you’re coming, too.
Shal, you’ll switch with kortopi.
Shalnark: Okay.

Killua: Hello.
Melody: Is this killua?
Killua: Yeah. Who are you?
Melody: One of kurapika’s colleagues.
Could you look to your left?
Hang up, and whisper a command to me,
anything at all.
Killua: Raise your right hand.
( Thinking ) That’s a hell of an ear.
That’s gonna come in handy.
( Water splashing )
Nobunaga: Really? Didn’t we already go there before?
I thought the beitacle hotel--
isn’t that one of the places the nostrade family was staying?
Machi: It was, but by the time
shal thought to look at the hunter website,
they had already checked out of their rooms.
Chrollo: They probably checked back in to the same hotel
under a different name. They’re being cautious.
Melody: The rain makes it difficult
to make out what they’re saying,
but there’s a group of people talking over there.
There are five or six of them, including some women,
and they’re all headed away from those abandoned buildings.
Killua: That’s amazing.
Gon and I have done a lot of training,
but I can’t hear that.
Melody: Because it’s my ability.
For kurapika to ask me for my help,
i’m guessing he must be getting really desperate.
Killua: Think so?
Melody: He wants to do everything by himself,
doesn’t he?
Killua: Oh, you’re right. He sure does.
♪
Melody: Would you happen to be an assassin?
Killua: Well, I used to be. How did you know?
Melody: Your footsteps.
You’re right beside me, but they’re estinto.
Killua: Esti-what?
Melody: Estinto. It’s a musical term
that means they’re just barely audible.
Killua: Oh. I guess i’m in the habit of moving silently.
Melody: Yours are the quietest i’ve ever heard.
Your technique is very impressive.
It’s easy to see why kurapika would rely on you.
Killua: Maybe,
but i’m not too thrilled about this.
Melody: Oh, is that so? ( Gasps )
Wait. Stop.
They’re 100 meters away,
just around the next corner.
Killua: You can pick out their footsteps?
Melody: Each person’s has their own unique sound.
Killua: Oh. I’ll check it out.

Killua: She’s with her buddies.
There are six of them.
The guy with the topknot’s here, too.
( Gon gasps )
Killua: There’s one more thing.
There’s a guy we didn’t see yesterday.
I’m willing to bet he’s the leader.
Gon: What’s he look like?
Killua: He’s wearing a black coat
with a inverted cross on the back.
He has black, slicked-back hair. I can’t see his face.
Damn it! They’re really alert.
I’m too scared to circle around front.
Kurapika: Give it to me. Where are you now?
Killua: In front of the motoba building.
They’re heading west on continental.
Kurapika: There’s a station nearby.
Can you board their train?
Killua: Depends. If it’s crowded, I can manage.
Kurapika: Hurry. Head to the south.
Leorio: Okay.
( Tires squeal )
Killua: Melody’s in the same car as them.
We’re headed toward castor.
I’m in the last car on the train.
Kurapika: Heading to castor?
Gon: The auction site’s in that direction.
Kurapika: For that matter, so is our hotel.
Squala: Yeah. Yeah.
I know, Eliza. I know.
Honestly, i’m starting to get pretty sick of this job.
I should be happy i’m spending time with the dogs?
Heh. It sure beats taking care of that spoiled brat, I guess.

( Growls ) This isn’t funny.
We need to get out of here now!
I’d better take these with me.
Leorio: Station’s over there.
Should we get a little closer?
Kurapika: No. Any closer than this,
and the troupe might sense my hostility.
Hey, gon, this is as far as it’s safe to go.
I need to be this far from the station,
or else they’ll notice me before I want them to.
It’ll take approximately .5 seconds to land an attack,
and that’s more than enough time
for them to engage an evasive maneuver,
unless they’re distracted, of course.

Kurapika: The spiders!
Kortopi: It’s moving, descending slowly.
Chrollo: So on an elevator. Are they leaving?
Nobunaga: Let’s hurry up and get in there, then.

Try to stay close enough to provide assistance.
Pakunoda, once we have him, get the information on uvo.
Pakunoda: Got it.

Go.

Gon: Hey, can I ask you something?
How can you kill people who have nothing to do with you?

Chrollo: You have a lot of hostility
for someone who’s just surrendered.
Perhaps because they’ve nothing to do with us.
No. On second thought, it’s not that simple.
My motives are unimportant now.
I don’t like speaking of them.
But surprisingly enough, or as I expected,
the reason’s the key to understanding myself.
