Witch...
You don't suppose it was Amon who hunted Kate, do you?
Amon...
In the end, are you, too, nothing but an offspring of Saturn?
I don't think we will meet again.
I feel like it'll disappear...
...the instant I look away.
I just kept counting...
...all the many traces of loneliness...
...that I'd vomited up.
In this time that seems so dry,
...my heart is thrashing around and drowning.
It takes those lies that make my head spin...
...and tears them to pieces.
And the place I lose my way in...
...is a dim, hazy world.
I'm sorry.
What the hell has that guy been looking at all morning?!
If you've got no business here, get lost!
I'll call the cops if you don't beat it!
What was that all about?
Yes, I've heard.
For the love of... You people never do what you're told.
This office isn't some flophouse, you understand me?
But Robin was attacked!
I'm aware of that. But she doesn't have to stay HERE.
The last thing I need is you people getting the rest of us involved.
You must be joking!
In any case, this is something you people did on your own.
Leave me out of it.
Way to dodge that responsibility, boss.
Hey, do you know what happened to the food that I left sitting here?
Speaking of food, we need to get Robin some breakfast!
Right, I totally forgot about that.
Looks like she's doing okay fending for herself.
Maybe we're worrying ourselves over nothing.
Yeah...
Attack the STN-J?!
Wait a minute, I wasn't informed of any such decision!
Very well. In any case, just give me a little more time.
Right.
Using that bullet as a starting point, I was able to narrow it down to these three.
But this is as far as I can go.
Why?
These three are classified as the top class of all hunters.
Their files have some nasty protection on them, so I can't dig down any further.
But all you need now is more data?
It's nothing that major.
If I could just figure out if any of these three had entered Japan recently...
Oh, is that all you need?
How far back would you like me to go?
Well, two or three years should do it...
But not even headquarters could get you any information on hunters...
Oh, it's me, Kosaka.
I hate to bother you, but could I speak to Takahashi...
...over in criminal investigations #2?
You people might not give much credit to the Japanese police, but I...
Oh, is that you, Takahashi?
Yeah, it's me.
Sorry to call you out of the blue,
...but I was wondering if you could do some digging for me.
Yeah, something like that.
Intensive Care Ward
This morning?
Yes, sir. It wasn't during normal visiting hours, but he insisted.
Right this way.
He didn't mention his name, did he?
No, sir...
But he was very tall, and a bit dangerous looking.
Should I not have let him in, sir?
No, it's fine. Thank you.
Of course.
Amon...
You must hate me.
I can't do a single thing for you as a father.
Oh, right... That letter.
I guess there's no way to get it right now.
It's me.
Fine. I'll look the other way this one time.
But whatever happens, the STN-J isn't to be...
Is this the one?
His name and face are different, but yeah, the DNA is a match.
Evgeny Kitaenko. Born in St. Petersburg, Republic of Russia.
Entered Japan two years ago, and that's all they know.
Two years... I wonder if he's still around.
There are no records of him leaving the country, so it's pretty safe to assume that.
But can we trace his movements?
I thought I told you never to underestimate the power of the police.
Just leave it to me.
I know all the guys who handle illegal immigrants like this.
Can you track those guys down right away?
Well, I suppose so...
Then please get to it.
We have to track him down before he makes his next move.
Karasuma and Sakaki, you should stay here. We have to keep watch over Robin, too.
- S-Sure. - Okay...
C'mon, now.
Chief, I'm gonna need that sharp tongue of yours.
Virgo for today..."Watch out for guests wearing black," huh?
Miss Robin, you're safe here. Your guest is waiting for you.
I heard what happened from Amon, so I thought I'd drop by and check on you.
You talked to Amon?
Touko is apparently still in a coma.
But he said to tell you not to worry, and that she's sure to make a full recovery.
I'm sorry...
But I just can't understand Amon.
That's no good.
When you lose faith in people, you can't do your best.
Listen to me. Mr. Amon is a man you can trust.
He would never betray anyone.
So have faith in him.
And now, here is a special lunch that I made to cheer you up. I outdid myself this time.
Go eat up while it's still warm.
Hey, Michael? It's me.
It's from Miss Dojima.
Yeah...
I knew it!
And?
What? He was killed?
Wait, are you saying he was killed two years ago, right after he entered the country?
Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
I looked at the postmortem reports, too, but it matched the forensic DNA data.
But if he's dead, what the hell...
Michael, there was one other person who could use that bullet, right?
One other?
Amon.
Yeah, but...
No way, that's just not possible.
Why would Amon do that?
I'm not really sure. I've been thinking about it since it happened.
Maybe we've been averting our eyes from the truth.
It's an undeniable fact that Kate was hunted by someone close to us.
Who was it, then?
No!
That can't be true!
Why not?
How can you be so sure?
I understand why you'd want to believe that.
But then, where has Amon gone?
At a time like this, nobody's so much as seen him since yesterday.
But...
But that doesn't mean...
Um, Chief, about this receipt...
Worm to Intruder.
Target nerves secured.
Security system completely offline.
Intruder here, roger that. Will now commence operation.
Good luck. Meet you topside.
Who is it?
You sons of...!
Aw, man...
Do you have his known associates?
Give me a minute!
I'll give you another three seconds.
That's not the car's fault...
Oh, are you saying that I'm just a bad driver?
I didn't say that.
Yes, you did.
Look, getting back to the matter at hand...
Want some coffee?
What happened just before Kitaenko was killed?
It's right here, see it?
- Do you want some fresh coffee? - So it's just a matter of efficiency.
- Y- Yeah, sure... - You use too much energy to do the job.
Robin! Get out of here!
Dammit!
Michael!
Come with me.
No good. Secure the exit!
Hurry!
What the hell?!
Amon...
They're here to hunt you.
They've decided that your powers are dangerous.
Dangerous?
But why are you helping me, Amon?
Come with me!
Amon, are you the one who hunted the person I replaced?
That's right. I hunted Kate.
She tried to smuggle out the secrets of the STN-J.
Solely to satisfy her own greed.
No, that's not right.
She betrayed us to escape from herself.
Kate had known, even while she was losing her mental balance.
She knew that she had lost control of her power, the power of her Craft,
...which meant that she herself would be hunted as a Witch some day.
At some point, she developed a death wish when she could no longer cope with that fear.
But hunting your own partner...
There was no trust as partners between the two of us.
There was only...
They've broken through?
Come on, hurry!
Robin, can you blast a hole through that wall?
I can do it, but...
Do it.
All right.
Amon, you believed in me...
I was ordered by Zaizen to not interfere with your hunt.
But I couldn't do it.
Amon, I...
Let's go!
This way!
Robin, I don't think you're a Witch.
Get moving.
What about the others?
Don't worry about them.
Hurry!
Listen, if anything happens to me, go to this man for help.
A-Amon!
Go!
Why?
Robin, go down those stairs and take the underground passage!
No way! If you stay here, Amon, you'll...
Stop that! Just go!
Robin, the next time I see you...
Is this the last of them?
Looks like one got away.
We'll look for the girl later.
Contact Squad 2 and tell them the building is completely secured.
Amon...
We'll secure the server's hard drive right away.
Hurry up and get switched over to backup power.
We've already seized the samples.
The database probably has a protection program...
...that will automatically destroy its contents.
All external links have been severed.
Please don't touch it until we get there.
The building's system is now running in a standalone state.
I'd like to continue with the operation.
Please override the security system password.
I'll ask. But for now, good work.
I'm just glad none of your team got hurt.
Thank you, sir.
This wasn't a hunt...?
