What's happening with it, Gomez?
Shyamalan is currently searching for it.
However, it seems we overestimated him somewhat.
You mean in leaving the Ryunka to him?
Yes. I believe it was too much for him.
He has nothing within him but a deep darkness.
Interesting. Why not go with it?
Let's have a look at this "darkness" of his, Gomez.
You were having a nightmare.
You're intelligent for an Earthling, yet I see you let dreams bother you.
Aliens don't dream?
I don't.
This world is everything, and I enjoy it.
So give me some entertainment...
With the Ryunka.

The American luxury cruise ship the Lost Bird docked in Tokyo today.
At 243 meters long and weighing in at 64,000 tons,
it surpasses Japan's largest cruise ship, the Asuka II.
Many people have gathered here at Harumi Wharf
to catch a glimpse of its massive shape.
The Lost Bird belongs to PMI, or Playmaker Industrial Company,
and CEO Satyajit Shyamalan will soon invite group representatives to...
A profile of Satyajit Shyamalan?
I want to do a feature article on him for the club's next newsletter.
I'd like to ask for your help as a former club member.
But you could easily find what you need on the internet...
She's saying she doesn't want that perfunctory stuff.
She wants "just between us"-type stuff
that only this TV station that's in bed with Shyamalan would know.
You're being awfully supportive of your junior.
It's not like you, Senior Muroto.
Hey, now. I've always been attached to my juniors!
You think Shyamalan has something to do with the Sawajiri incident?
Wow! How did you know?
Rumor has it some freelance journalist won't quit snooping around about Sawajiri.
What? Everyone knows about you?
But you know, even in our company there are a lot of people
who think the landslide story is bogus.
But reporting is being restricted.
We can't even fly copters into that area now.
Now hold on! That's not just sketchy, that's a blatant cover-up!
Sure, but as things stand we can't do anything about it.
But if you've got no affiliation to the station, the restrictions don't affect you, right?
I guess not. Then you'll...
I'll find out what you want.
She's exactly how she seems on TV!
Don't you think so?
Ugh.
These press restrictions have to be because of Shyamalan's pressure.
I mean, he was there!
Yeah, but I just don't think a human being caused that disaster.
It was like an alien's...
That again?!
Please, try to think more like a journalist!
We almost got murdered, you know!
Hey, I told you not to talk about that in public.
And this story is seriously dangerous.
If a high school girl delves too deep just out of curiosity...
It's not just curiosity!
A lot of villagers died! The truth behind that has to be reported!
You're talking too loud.
It's hereditary.
I'm just saying I want to be very careful here.
Huh?
"Inbox" "Tsutomu Senkawa" "Where are you right now? I need your advice on something." Huh?
"Inbox" "Tsutomu Senkawa" "Where are you right now? I need your advice on something." Senkawa?
"Inbox" "Tsutomu Senkawa" "Where are you right now? I need your advice on something."
A date with Nakasugi?!
N-No, it's not like that...
I just thought maybe we could get together on the last day of break.
Dude, that's what "date" means.
You, of all people...
Huh?
I knew it all along.
Kn-Knew what?!
Your face is like an open book.
Huh?
You and Nakasugi, eh? Glad I lived to see the day.
Hmm? What's wrong?
Senkawa?
I'm sorry to call you here out of the blue like this.
The whole week we've been back from Sawajiri Village,
she's been brooding like that.
We were so happy she'd become stronger and could finally lead a good life,
but she just sits like that, and hardly speaks anymore.
But sometimes, she mumbles deliriously, saying she wants to see you.
Seeing her like that, I couldn't just do nothing.
And her grandpa said he wanted me to cheer her up.
Oh, I see.
So now you're all worried because you don't know where to take her?
She says she wants to see the ocean, but I'm no good at this stuff...
But getting a chance to date her makes you happy too, right?
I'm telling you, it's not a date!
Fine, fine, you don't have to flip out about it.
Let me think... How about Odaiba?
Huh?
It's a cliché, but for a girl it's actually pretty fun.
O-Odaiba, huh? That could be good.
Give me that.
Your taste can't be trusted. I'll make you the perfect plan!
Oh, Miss Natsumi, I beg you will favor me with your guidance.
Good boy.
Yeah.
I was wondering, how about Odaiba? I know it's the standard, but...
Oh, wow! I've never been there. I bet it'll be so much fun!
Really?
Yeah!
I made us a perfect plan, so look forward to it.
Okay.
So, I'll meet you at 11:00 this Sunday at the Yurikamome Shimbashi Station.
Senkawa?
Thank you.
Um, sure!
Goodnight.
Yes!
Tsutomu.
I know, the Ryunka, right? I'll help you look.
It'd be no joke if something like that happened again.
But this Sunday...
I want to be with her.
Tsutomu, are you awake?
You've spotted the Ryunka?
From the interference of the mystery Altan and the battle marionette,
I think we can assume the Ryunka was involved in the incident.
I'm having Irma look into the Altan's real identity, but he said...
As your compatriot, I'll give you one hint:
The Ryunka possesses people. It matures with people.
A parasite, eh?
That jibes with the new information from our investigation.
There were seven survivors at Sawajiri, not counting Tsutomu Senkawa.
One of the seven has partial amnesia.
She was emotionally unstable and wandering like a sleepwalker.
And...
She displayed physical abilities impossible in an Earthling.
I think... that Sayaka Nakasugi must be the Ryunka's host!
As of now it's merely a high probability.
You mustn't rush your conclusions, Birdy.
But Sir!
Based on your report, a group of pontiffs will be heading to Earth.
The way they do things, they'll erase the host along with the Ryunka!
You'd let them kill an innocent Earthling?!
For that very reason, we need to get proof as soon as possible
and secure the Ryunka ourselves.
If we do that, can we eliminate the Ryunka without killing the host?
There's no guarantee of that yet.
Captain Megius!
Sayaka Nakasugi is Tsutomu Senkawa's classmate, isn't she?
Yes.
Be the one to secure the Ryunka.
You promised, got it? Be good, just for today.
Okay.
Hey, you're acting funny.
No, I'm not.
You seem kind of down in the mouth.
Well yeah, being forced to facilitate Earthling hormone rushes does turn me off.
There you go, that's my Birdy.
Hey, wait!
Senkawa!
Thanks for waiting.
This is Nakasugi.
Shyamalan! Right now? Sorry, but there's no one home at the moment.
Don't worry about that.
I have something I want your advice on. I'd like to speak with you alone.
Yes. I'll see you in a bit, then.
Here you go, two ice cream cones.
Thanks.
Well, aren't you the little lovebirds!
This is good!
I had no idea there was someplace like this right here in the city.
That's right, I guess you were too sick to come before.
Oh, no!
So then I had to go in my sister's place.
Poor thing.
I know, right?
- I'd like to meet her sometime. - Thank goodness.
Looks like she's having fun.
It's getting hot, huh?
Yeah.
Thanks.
E-Er, I didn't... I-I'm sorry!
What's gotten into you?! You startled me!
Etiquette? Oh, I see...
Hey, Senkawa!
Hmm?
I want to ride that!
The Ferris wheel?
"Operation: Tsutomu & Nakasugi's Lovey-Dovey Date"
Why isn't the Ferris wheel on here?!
If we're in Odaiba...
I nixed the behind-closed-doors stuff.
Can't have you going all animalistic on her.
I won't!
The goals of this plan are Nakasugi's safety and spiritual refreshment.
Keep that firmly in mind as you do your duty!
I'd like to go to the aquarium, too. And then the Rainbow Bridge!
I want to go to all the places I've never been!
Yeah. Good idea!
Let's go.
Sorry, Hayamiya!
I see, so your granddaughter's with her friend...
She's at that age, after all.
I assumed she'd be staying in bed, unable to keep up with the changes in her.
What are you talking about?
I told you, I want to speak with you... Candidly.
Whatever, Muroto, but can't we at least get an air conditioner?!
I'm more of an environmentalist than you might think.
More importantly, look.
This is supposed to be a training video for PMI's young execs.
Not everyone gets to see this.
Sanada got it for us through unofficial channels.
Oh, here we go.
You're lucky. The fact that you're watching this
means you're not like the average expendable employee.
In other words, you were chosen by me, the man at the top.
I guess we've been chosen.
Lucky us.
There are only two types of people in this world:
The chosen ones, and everyone else.
I achieved my current status after the will of the Universe chose me.
Chosen ones eventually become the choosers,
and take on the job of sifting through the riffraff.
This guy's got it bad.
Wait, look!
That's apparently back when he was called a child prodigy.
I've seen him somewhere before...
In other words, your daughter has been chosen as well.
Even though she was near-fatally injured in a car accident,
she was discharged from the hospital the next day in perfect condition.
How do you know that?
But since then, there have been strange physical and mental changes.
I'm sure you must have been worried.
Do you understand the suffering of the chosen?
The pain and Ioneliness...
"Why was I chosen?"
"Why am I the only one who has to go through this?"
No matter how you try to forget, you can't escape those feelings.
You want someone to understand. Someone to reach out to you.
But no one will ever come.
Because that Ioneliness is the very proof of being chosen.
Sayaka is a truly beautiful girl.
To think that behind that gentle smile she's fighting such pain...
But I can...
Stop pretending to be concerned!
Who are you? What do you want with her?!
She's beginning to change again. From the chosen to the chooser...
I'll take her in hand.
Don't worry, I won't treat her badly.
I'll make sure she develops.
It's my responsibility as a fellow chosen.
Watch it!
You're insane. I won't let you lay a finger on Sayaka!
Is that any way to talk to the business partner who's helping you develop marionettes?
You tricked me! I thought perhaps you were here to apologize, but...
Never show your face around me again!
I thought you'd say that.
No need to worry...
You won't be seeing my face anymore.
Because you're not one of the chosen.
I know it's here... Look!
Hmm?
"The site of the terrorist bombing in Taranfa.
Various antigovernment leaders held a gathering in the square,
and over 4,000 civilian attendees died.
Only this boy alone miraculously survived."
This is...
For real?
A choice has to be made about mankind.
By me.
School starts tomorrow, huh?
Yeah.
Did you finish your homework?
Not even close. More like, I never wanted to do it in the first place.
This feels so good.
I wonder where that boat is going?
Hmm... Maybe the end of the world?
Where's that?
Beats me.
Sheesh, you just make stuff up!
What?!
You're always like that, Senkawa.
Like what?
You never say things people won't like, like "No" or "I don't know."
I don't think that's true.
If something has to be said, I don't care who it is, I'll lay...
That's not it.
I... like that about you.
Huh?
Grandfather! Grandfather!
Isn't anyone here? Yoshie?
Grandfather?
G-Grandfather!
Sir...
Sir! Sir!
You're...
You're not Miss Sayaka!
Yoshie...
You're not her! She would never do something like this!
No! I didn't! It wasn't me!
Who are you?
I...
Why did you kill him?!
Lay off.
Tuto.
Let's go! Have a good time!

Shion Arita here, yessiree!
We're finally getting to the climactic point, yessiree!
I don't really know what that means, but I'll try doing it with gusto!
Woo-hoo!
Nakasugi is in trouble, and Tsutomu is too, Sirs!
And Mr. Shyamalan is seriously eviler than evil!
What will you do, Birdy? This calls for some careful thought, yessiree!
