Come on, don't rush me so much.
This program is a work of fiction. The characters, organizations, locations, cases, etc. being portrayed are unrelated to actual events.
Even I'm not that shameless, you know.
Stop being silly and get undressed already!
S-Sorry for the racket.
Um...
Here's what you asked for. Bandages, antiseptic, antibiotics, maps...
You can have painkillers, too.
For a little more.
I'll pass.
U-Um...
Thank you.
Listen...
I'm sleeping in the tent next to yours.
You two can have at it all you like, but try to keep it down, yeah?
Enjoy your stay.
What a nice guy.
She's so dense.
They hopped into a taxi as soon as they escaped the mansion.
Seems she'd arranged it ahead of time.
Their whereabouts since then are unclear.
We weren't even able to give our guests a proper welcome.
Such a pity.
Let's hear your excuse.
Nikka, why did you let Ryang-Ha Song get away?
Come on, Donny.
That's going too far.
It's not like I was trying to help him escape.
I'll admit I took my shenanigans too far.
I regret that. Believe me.
Otherwise, I would have bailed long ago.
So let me make it up to you.
I'll take out Ryang-Ha Song.
Bah...
This was supposed to be a fancy date on the battlefield.
Who would've thought we'd be imposing on a homeless guy?
You were the one who said it wouldn't be safe to stay at proper lodgings.
Yeah, but y'know...
Are you in pain? Where does it hurt?
I'm fine.
Why...
Why did you come?
What about you?
Why did you do what you did?
I was the one being threatened.
You had no reason to follow their orders, and I never asked you to.
The things you do for me are far too extreme.
I see.
In other words, you just had to find some reason to complain to me.
Charging in on a dump truck, though? That's hilarious.
Well, come to think of it now, knowing you,
you would've easily found a way to escape.
My unnecessary actions led to you having to save me yet again.
I'm very sorry.
What's wrong?
It does hurt, doesn't it?
Turn over and tell me where—
H-Hey, let go!
What do you think you're doing?
It's punishment.
Huh?! For what?!
Remember? I told you...
I'd prefer thanks to an apology.
Have you forgotten?
Thank you... very... much....
Good. Well done.
Do you really have to resist with every fiber of your being?
Truth be told...
I should be the one thanking you.
I would have given up if you hadn't come.
I'd probably be dead by now, and it would've been a stupid way to go.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
There's no reason to capture Ryang-Ha Song going forward.
He would have been a good asset,
but I would have no choice but to make him pay for yesterday with his life.
Now, about the other target, Chateau Dankworth...
She's who I really want.
She's the spark that I allowed to slip through my fingers seventeen years ago.
Her real name is Chateau Noble.
Don't move.
All right?
Coming in, old man!
Who are you two?
Sorry about that!
I got some good booze, so I dropped by.
I didn't think he'd have company.
This is my drinking buddy, George.
He has a bad habit of barging in uninvited.
Heya.
I haven't seen you two around here.
You look young, too.
Who are they?
How do you know them?
Shoot.
We shouldn't let them pry too much.
It'll be fine.
We already went over our story. Don't worry.
Allow me to introduce you, George.
This is my son and his wife.
Thanks for being friends with my dad!
Does that work for you?
It was the easiest way to keep him from asking questions, right?
Ow.
You're opening my wound. Stop.
I never knew you had a son, old man.
We were separated when I was young.
My wife and I have been traveling the world looking for him.
I'm so blessed to be able to see him again.
Now, if I could just make him a grandfather, I wouldn't have any regrets...
Ow, ow, ow.
Wow...
You guys have been through so much.
Well, this calls for a celebration.
Drink up!
Come on, boy!
This is going to become a pain in the ass.
Thank you.
Just one drink, then.
You're young. Don't be so modest.
Here you go.
You too, missy.
Lightweight
I-I, uh... I'll pass.
Hey now, missy!
You really gonna turn this old fart down?
You gotta join the fun!
J-Just a little, then.
Oh, dear.
We can't have that, now, can we?
She already said no.
Please try to take the hint.
I... I'll be fine.
And you.
You have to take care.
It's not just your body right now.
Seriously...
I see!
Well, ain't that great?!
Good for you, old man!
What's going on?
Why is he so happy?
She didn't pick up on that?
All you need to know is that I've taken care of it.
Man...
It was just an innocent lie to get us out of a bind.
Although, I would have gotten a lot more than a slap before.
She's really softened up.
Thanks for waiting.
Well, should we get going?
Oh.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
There you go.
"Thank you" is definitely a lot better.
She sure is cold, isn't she?
Good luck, I guess.
Damn it, watch where you're going!
Sorry...
Let's go.
It's best to come across strong in these situations.
Is that so?
Now, let's see what we got...
Huh?
My wallet... H-Huh?!
This is it from three wallets?
People don't carry enough cash these days.
Don't look at me like that.
I didn't do it because I wanted to.
My pockets are empty thanks to those homeless guys.
Whether we want to eat or get around, we need money.
No, it's just that...
You're frighteningly masterful at it.
I'm a little surprised.
I see.
I had to do it to keep myself fed for a while as a kid.
I picked up a lot of nasty skills before I even learned to read and write.
I'm sorry.
You're taking on even more of a burden being with me.
I can hardly call this a mutual partnership.
If there's anything I can d—
Thank you for the meal.
That was delicious, huh?
Wait a minute! I'm not done talki—
Now, now. Don't talk with your mouth full.
And like I told you, I'm not interested in apologies.
Do you want to be punished again?
Anyway, my hideout is just up ahead.
We can stay there until things settle down.
I've been meaning to ask...
Who are those people?
Donny, Trigger...
They're clearly not just any organization.
That mansion where you were held was ostensibly just a private residence.
The organization isn't registered anywhere.
They seem to be powerful individuals.
Whatever the case, we shouldn't get involved with them.
But they're a danger to the people around me.
I can't just turn a blind eye.
I don't want anyone caught up in my problems.
I need more information.
Please tell me what you know.
Nope.
I can't have you involved in this further.
Absolutely not.
I'll help you with anything else, and I'll do anything for you.
So please let that one go. Okay?
Hmm?
Hey, where are you going?
Come on.
Wait.
It seems I let my guard down a little.
I apologize.
I'll deal with this myself.
Let me go, please.
It's about time that I let you know...
I could have my way by force.
Regardless of your wishes.
Do I have to teach you the hard way?
I'll start by snapping your right wrist.
Just what do you want from me?
Do you want me to be your pet dog or something?
I can't fulfill your wishes.
I knew the two of us could never...
Try shooting me, then.
This is how things started between us, right?
You have no reason not to.
Go on.
I'm sorry.
What?
I'm sorry I couldn't just leave you be.
I just couldn't walk away...
after I'd found you again.
Chateau?
You're there, aren't you?
It's me.
It's okay.
There aren't any bad guys here.
Come out.
Please.
I want you to believe me.
I'm...
on your side.
Could you do me a favor?
There's a man who will be arriving here through the Port of Riwata in five days.
His name is Liszt Noble.
Officially, he's long dead,
but he's been on the run for the past five years.
I want you to escort him to Barosela.
This town has been undergoing large-scale transportation infrastructure upgrades.
The maps aren't up to date.
That makes both escape and pursuit difficult here.
And that's why I'll be counting on you.
Will you do this for me, Ryang-Ha Song?
Y-Yes, I'll do my best!
I expect great things from you.
Hold on to this.
You're bound to need it someday.
He's not over here.
Then he's gotta be over there.
There he is! After him!
I can finally be of use to Mr. Donny.
I want to be like him so I can help other people.
Are you okay?
What's this?
I didn't know you brought a friend.
What's going on here?
How would he have a friend?
That one came to us alone.
So you're just some passerby, then?
Go home already.
Freaking waste of time.
Hurry up and get on your feet.
Hey, don't harm his head or organs.
We can't sell damaged goods.
L-Let him go. Please.
Oh? What's that, a water gun?
Let me see it.
I just need to stop him.
I don't need to hit him.
They might go away if they know I'm the real deal.
Mr. Donny would help this boy.
He would...
You little brat!
What the hell are you doing?!
You piece of shit!
What was that sound?
Someone report them!
What do I do?
I need to get away from here, quick!
Wh-What?! Why are you following me?
Help me...
Anyone...
Here, you forgot this.
It'll keep you from getting lonely.
Let's play a longer game of hide-and-seek this time.
Can you stay hidden really well?
That's a good girl.
Just a little longer...
Just for a little longer.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
I love you, Chateau.
