Ain't here.
Appears we just missed them.
But Suitengu-san said he knows where they headed.
How's he know that?
Who knows. He's a man full of mysteries.
''Episode 10: Suitengu Comes''
Hey! This is off-limits!
Police. Self-defense, just so you know.
Please stop!
Even if you are with the police, you still need an appointment
to see Shinsen-sama!
Do you have a search warrant?!
Hold onto these. Won't need 'em against a fellow woman.
May l help you?
Hello. l'm lnspector Ginza Hibari with the New Metro Police.
You do realize your trespassing will greatly affect your treatment?
l'm told your daughter hasn't attended school for days now.
That's her! No doubt about it!
lsn't this girl famous?!
Yes... This girl.
Kagura is simply on a little trip.
ls that so?
But the Tennozu family daughter traveling together with a man...
Wouldn't that be rather distressing?
Are you attempting to extort me?
No, this is a trade.
l'll get your daughter back.
ln return, l want back the man she's running around with.
So that's how it is...
Looks like the place in the notebook is through here.
This really the way?
Yeah...
There's something up above. lt smells bad.
Saiga-san...
Look.
There's so much underground...
lt's to protect against biohazards.
Biohazards?
Bacterial contamination.
lt's easier to protect against outside contamination during an accident
if the facility is underground.
This pool-like smell... lt's chlorine, isn't it?
They probably disinfected it when it was shut down.
Let's split up.
--You take above-ground. There could be some documents left. --Right.
l'll check out below.
Alright... Let's meet back in one hour.
Right.
Don't scare me like that...
How nice of 'em to weld it shut.
l got a bad feeling about this, but l can't just turn back now...
This-
What the hell?
They burned their test animals?
Still...
Creatures like this exist?
Not in the car. They must be inside.
Let's go!
lt's him!
Let's do it!
No, wait!
Suitengu-san is here.
Eh?!
Personally?!
Yeah...
Shit! Then let's bust in and finish him now!
lt's too late.
Oh, crap...
The two appear to be inside.
--They've proven difficult. --My apologies, sir!
You really needn't handle such a small matter personally...
l'm putting an end to this now.
Umm... We'll gladly accompany you.
l intend to confront him man-to-man.
What is Suitengu-san's power?
Not sure. l don't know either...
Everyone who's seen it is dead. So there's no one who knows...
Can't believe he managed to find us...
Saiga-san! Let's run away! l found the staff list!
Go all the way down the stairs at the end of this hallway.
You'll find an old sewer. lt should connect with the outside.
What about you?!
l got some things l gotta ask him.
Saiga-san! Please don't fight Suitengu-san!
There's no way to tell what that man is thinking!
Don't worry. We're just gonna talk.
Wait for me there!
lf l don't come, go see Dr. Ryogoku at this location.
l won't die before l can take your picture.
Go...
Go!
Come out, rat.
lt's about time for you to return Kagura-sama.
l got a bunch of things to ask you.
What did you do to my body?
What did you do to her body?!
Nothing...
Don't lie!
Kagura-sama was born with her body... With her mutation.
Mutation?
Kagura-sama's bodily substances simply triggered your virus.
Virus? Triggered?!
But for it to be triggered, you need to be a carrier.
l don't know where you were infected, but you had that factor.
That is your payment. For the photographs you took of Kagura-sama.
The photographs l took?
Yes. They were wonderfully taken.
The rest don't interest me.
But l assume they're important to you.
What is this?!
That is your power. lt grants you the greatest ecstasy.
No!
What an odd man. Why do you deny the very pleasure you desired?
Turn my body back to normal!
l'm afraid l can't.
Mutated genes cannot be returned to normal...
Then at least let her-
You know she's sick, don't you?!
You know she only has a few months left to live!
Bacterial Research Lab #152
is an offshoot of the old Japanese army's biology lab.
Dr. Odawara specialized in gene therapy.
Don't tell me she's a product of this-
Having come this far, you should have some idea of the situation.
First off, it isn't something we can do anything about as individuals.
We're simply using that technology to rejuvenate this world.
Like hell you are!
How does making monsters like me rejuvenate anything?!
Monsters?
Ah, so you had mourned the fact that you had become a monster...
What a surprisingly plebeian notion.
You don't see it as having your exceptional gift improved even more?
Don't you want a place to use that power to your heart's content?
That's what the club is for...
Hand over Kagura-sama.
l will guarantee your life and let you join.
The girl is running of her own free will!
l'm not going to barter her freedom for money!
l'm told you were a war photographer.
ln which case, you've seen it.
What lies at the root of world turmoil?
ldeas? Religions?
No. The gulf between rich and poor... Money.
What's important is the flow of money.
lt's only within that flow that man can live properly.
Money goes beyond borders as the very blood of the world.
Where circulation is poor, countries there begin to necrose.
That's just a bunch of quibble!
Then how about the people you photographed on the battlefield?
ln the shadow of justification there is always vested interest.
Don't soldiers fight for money too, when you get down to it?
And haven't you taken photographs of murders for money and fame?
Screw you!
One last time. Hand over Kagura-sama.
l have no right to take her freedom from her!
To be truly honest...
l loathe guys like you who don't know the torment of begetting money
and spout naive rubbish about love and freedom.
Now you will die.
l am not so easily defeated...
What?!
Where'd he-
So close.
You're-
l have already died once before.
This entire body is a resting place for the souls
of comrades who've died in thankless battles.
Died once before?
Begone... my accursed past...
Oh!
Ginza...
You've become a real stud since the last time l saw you...
Where's Tennozu Kagura?
We gotta hurry or they'll beat us to her.
The little shack... on the opposite mountain...
That so?
You're finally back with me.
l'm never letting go again.
l'm all jittery, like a horse's tail
Someone comes from afar
and softly chants, ''Oooooo,'' while reading a thick book
l'll try asking him
about the future you bear
even though he probably won't know either
l wish the morning sun would just burn away
but the clock that announces the start of the new day would stop too
