"Confirmed." "To our new relationship, and our new friendship." "And, to prosperity." "The view from here makes me sad that I must leave so soon." "It's an amazing sight." "Next time, we should have dinner together." "The Cantonese cuisine that our head chef makes is just about as superb as this scenery." "That's a wonderful invitation, however..." "To think that the day that I'd dine with an executive from the Red Dragon..." "Rest assured, the food will not be poisoned." "I can finally take a breather." "Thank God." "Doing things like this won't do you any good!" "Times have changed!" "The syndicate cannot survive just by fighting alone!" "O-Only if S-Spike returned someone like you would..." "BALLAD OF FALLEN ANGELS" "I don't feel up for this." "Wha?" "I said, I don't feel like doing this." "Then there's no choice." "Wait, Spike." "I can't burden you." "Don't say stuff like that." "You know who that is, don't you?" "Superficial stuff, yeah." "Then..." "Good money." "Easy to get info on him." "We also have a lead." "What makes you scared?" "Spike, you're deliberately avoiding the subject." "Are you hiding something from me?" "So... what happened to that arm of yours?" "What does that have to do with anything?" "Nothing." "So, you have no intention of telling me?" "I could ask you the same." "Why is this door so damn narrow?" "Oh?" "Am I interrupting something?" "None of your business." "We're supposed to be comrades!" "That's awfully cold of you!" "What do you mean, comrades?" "Troublemakers should keep themselves outta this." "Well, I don't care." "So, who is this?" "What's he up to?" "Don't look without asking us." "What do you mean?" "He's just there on the screen!" "Spike!" "Hey, wait, Spike!" "I'm taking off." "Spike!" "Shit, I won't be responsible for you!" "Roger that." "Dammit!" "He's such a..." "Mao Yenrai." "A bounty of 28 million for the alleged murder of an executive from an opposing syndicate." "Amazing!" "And you guys are after him?" "What, did you have a fight?" "Shut up." "You're being obnoxious." "—You're such a kid." "—I said, you're being obnoxious!" "He can do whatever the hell he pleases." "Oh, God..." "He's throwing such a huge fit." "You there, Jet?" "I got something big for ya!" "Something big?" "Excuse me, madam, but I need to see your ticket." "Oh, I don't have anything like that." "Well, then, I am afraid that you cannot enter the hall..." "But, they told me I didn't need one." "You know." "The guy in the box seat..." "Him." "Mao Yenr..." "Can you park my vehicle for me?" "If it's not one, it's the other..." "Why do they all do everything as they please?" "!" "There's a protective encryption on this thing." "You worried?" "Just watch." "These are decrypted like this..." "See?" "And then, I input "Mao Yenrai"..." "The bounty part sure seems to be true, but..." "Is this Sir Mao's seat?" "I looked all over for it." "Actually, I..." "We were waiting for you." "U-Um..." "They are performing, so please stay quiet." "Hold it right there!" "I'm not letting you get away!" "Whatcha doin'?" "!" "Give it back!" "Shit." "Give it back, you dumbass!" "Really, kids these days!" "I'll hand you over to the cops!" "Y-You!" "Yo." "Hey, isn't it bad for you to drink it in one shot, Annie?" "You coming back to life is worse on me than this glass." "What terrible treatment!" "The words of the dead are meaningless." "But I'm alive." "No, you died three years ago!" "That's how things work here." "I know." "The fact that you came here... means you have something you want to know, right?" "If it's not much, I can be of help." "Anastasia..." "Stop it!" "There are only two people that can call me by that name..." "So, what do you want to know?" "Mao Yenrai." "What happened to him?" "Mao-taijin?" "There's a reason for this..." "No need to talk, Miss Valentine." "We have done a background check already." "Rest assured, it will be held in a safe location." "Please, to your seat." "You're trembling..." "Who... are you?" "Vicious." "You know..." "I won't say anything bad to ya." "Don't get yourself involved with Vicious anymore." "But I know saying that is useless." "Sorry." "You've never listened to what others say." "On top of it, you're a stubborn showoff!" "It can't hurt you to listen to your elders once in a while..." "About Mao..." "He had a lot of people looking for you after you were gone." "He said that you still had to be alive..." "You're finally back, but Mao is..." "Stop it already." "This is for Mao!" "I'll take that one for Mao." "What are you up to now..." "to need something like that?" "Where's the broad?" "She lost sanity looking at the bounty figure and took off." "Right now she's probably somewhere, screwing up." "I see." "I'll tell you something." "You won't get the bounty for Mao." "He's already dead." "He was killed." "Internal discord." "Do you understand?" "This is a trap!" "I'm sure of it!" "Yeah." "I know all that." "You know?" "!" "Then what, you're Mao's?" "I owe him one from before..." "I'll tell you something, Spike." "This arm." "It's the price I paid for being over-spirited and running ahead of the game." "You understand?" "I don't wanna go, either." "Then..." "Let's just say, duties of the life I live." "Tee hee." "I've been caught." "You..." "Come to the place we specify," "Otherwise, my life is over." "So they say," "Lesse... the time to meet is..." "It's because you did as you please." "You're being cold." "We're comrades, remember?" "You reap what you sow." "Take care of it all yourself." "Hey, wait!" "Where is it?" "You're really gonna come?" "Don't worry." "I'm not going there to save you." "Spike!" "Angels that are forced from heaven have to become demons." "Isn't that right, Spike?" "I'm only watching a dream that I never awakened from." "I'll wake you up right now." "Don't be so anxious, Vicious." "It's our first meeting in a while, right?" "A plea for your life?" "Hardly." "Something like that doesn't work on you, remember?" "After all, you even kill those who've saved your life." "He was a beast who lost his fangs." "That's why he's dead." "The same goes for you." "Now, we want you to drop your gun." "What's wrong?" "If you don't hurry..." "Are ya tryin' to kill me?" "Oh man, what the hell've I done..." "Yeah?" "Thank God!" "Jet?" "Spike is..." "Not my problem!" "God dammit!" "Spike." "Do you know what your face looks like right now?" "What?" "The same blood runs in you and me." "The blood of a beast who wanders, desiring the blood of others." "I've bled all of that blood away." "Then why are you still alive?" "!" "Just like that sing for me." "Oh, you're finally up." "You've slept too much." "It's been three days." "What?" "I was worried about you." "You have to be thankful to me!" "Tone-deaf." "Oh, well..." "Aishiteta to nageku niwa..." "Too much time has passed by amarinimo toki wa sugite shimatta ...to lament that we were deeply in love."

"Yeah." "Can we let things go on like that?" "I'm asking you, what are you talking about?" "World affairs, man!" "World affairs!" "With all these lids about, the world'll be buried in lids!" "I don't really get it..." "With stuff like that, you can't see the truth!" "Truth, huh?" "So lids like that..." "I'll crush them all away!" "Next Episode: "Sympathy for the Devil"."
