It's time to settle things, partner.
Traces of Crime
It smells good, but... I'll just stick with milk.
So, he really did run away from the EMS interrogation.
Yeah, well, that's fine.
Sorry, but can you leave this to me?
I owe you one, Olivier.
Where is Mary?
I haven't seen her today. Lefty, too.
Oh. She's at the doctor.
She doesn't know how to fix flesh wounds, after all.
By the way, that voice of yours...
Spitzbergen did the procedure.
They must have really wanted to talk with me directly.
It surprised me.
They hate extension technology, but they have engineers as good as Mary.
Now I don't have to carry around the head of an Extended, anymore.
I see.
Oh, about Chris.
She was in a pretty weak state, so they're hospitalizing her for two or three days.
But it seems like she's doing great otherwise.
I see. That's good.
Juzo, what are you doing?!
Well, you know.
My actions put you guys in danger.
Sorry about that.
I have no idea what happened to you guys, but you saved Chris, didn't you?
You did what I had to do in my place.
Thanks, Tetsuro.
Juzo, I...
Um, excuse me...
Am I at the right place?
I am looking for Mr. Inui's consulting office...
My name is Emma Kurtz.
Sorry.
It's breezy because of a small problem we had with the wall.
No, the coffee is keeping me warm.
Even so...
You aren't surprised seeing my face?
Oh, yes.
It's surprising, of course.
But I had heard the rumors and I'm close to someone similar to you.
Does it bother you?
I'm actually quite the tomboy and have a lot of scars.
Oh, no, that's not...
So, what business do you have with me?
Yes. I'd like you to find my husband, Edmund.
In truth, while this isn't uncommon in this day and age,
I lost my fiancé during the great war.
I had loved my fiancé, Theodore, dearly.
We weren't together very long.
Even so, the time I spent with him brought me great happiness.
But when I received news of his death, my grief made me attempt suicide.
The one who saved me... is my current husband, Edmund.
He looks like you.
He doesn't!
Ed was severely injured and most of his body was replaced with extensions.
He happened to be in the same unit as my fiancé, Theodore.
They were both part of the bomb disposal unit after the war,
but there was an accident...
They were both caught in an explosion.
My fiancé, Theodore, died, but Ed managed to survive.
When I heard about their relationship,
I felt like Theodore had sent Edmund to save me from myself.
I may sound like a cold-hearted woman,
but I was past the age of naïvety.
Once we confirmed our feelings for one another,
it did not take long for us to marry.
What is it, Juzo? The bathroom?
No. These types of stories just make me a bit uncomfortable.
A month ago, I noticed that Ed was acting strange.
He would be gone for days without a single word.
Then, three days ago...
...my husband came home with a new arm extension.
He kissed me gently on the forehead and told me,
"Emma, there's something I gotta do.
I promise I'll come back to you once I'm done."
Over extensions...
In other words, your husband may have a reason to hurt someone somewhere.
You think so, too. As I thought.
Mr. Inui, do the habits an Extended had while still flesh and blood usually remain?
Who knows?
Unfortunately, I don't have any memories from when I was flesh and blood.
What about it?
The only body of an Extended that I've touched is my husband's,
but I feel nostalgia when he holds me.
What are you doing?!
Mr. Inui, please!
Please bring my husband, Ed, back to me before it's too late!
Is it all right for me to come?
It can't be helped.
The EMS stopped guarding us and I can't just leave you alone here.
We would like you to use Harmony to pull out his true form, Master Tetsuro.
What's wrong?
I don't plan on babysitting a kid.
Y-Yeah. I know!
But Juzo. Do you have an idea on Edmund's whereabouts?
Nope. That's why we're going to look into him first.
Please use the third window for any issues regarding bereavement pay.
"Roster Division Reception Counter" "Meeting Room 3"
Please use the fifth window for questions regarding work rehabilitation.
What? You can't show me the register?
Please use the seventh window for questions on extension technology.
Front Desk (Large)
I'm not talking about the register!
The person you're looking for. Um...
Edmund Baker is a restricted record.
I didn't know there were records like this.
By the way, you're an Over-Extended, aren't you?
I have my license if you need it.
That means that you're a military veteran.
How strange...
I have a lot of confidence in my memory.
Yet, I've never seen you on the military register!
Sorry, I should have showed you my paperwork sooner.
Oh, my.
You really do have exemption.
What in the world?
My memory is never wrong...
Sorry for the trouble.
Oh, wait.
Juzo?
About the support fund for helping disabled war veterans...!
Juzo, are you stopping?
Yeah. We got something out of it.
We found out that she didn't know about Edmund.
How is that useful?
That civil servant said she's never seen me on the register, right?
That's because my records are restricted, just like Edmund's.
That means...
We're both people that the higher-ups want to hide.
In other words, Edmund and I are birds of a feather.
He's like you, Juzo?
Don't worry.
It doesn't hurt anymore as long as I don't push myself.
More importantly, I'm completely broke this month.
I wish there was a rich customer lying around nearby...
I know.
There's no way I'd be that lucky...
Huh?
Oh?
We looked for so long and we couldn't find a single clue.
Guess we'll have to check the sedative routes...
Or, I don't want to, but I can ask some retired veterans I know.
Where the hell did you go, Mr. Edmund?
Amazing!
Colt?!
I'm so moved to find such a young extension engineer!
I-I got it. Please let go!
Doc, you're amazing!
Oh! My bad. My bad.
Goodness.
Why did you use a month's worth of sedatives all at once?!
There are limits, you know!
Well... I'm the type that likes to go wild!
"Love"
I was trying to get myself pumped up.
I'm surprised you're still alive.
Don't fall for me, Doc.
Where'd you get that idea?!
Oh, Juzo.
Why are you here?
Huh?
Well, well. What an utterly unexpected turn of events!
I found him lying on the side of the road.
I couldn't just leave him there, so I brought him here to patch him up.
I can't destroy the house of someone who saved my life.
No, this isn't my house--
Wait, destroy?
Come with me.
You got business with me, right?
Thanks for the help, Doc!
I'll definitely return the favor someday!
S-Someone you know?
A ghost?
Yeah, that's why that basement is off limits.
Let's go check it out.
But...
Hey, kids.
Take this and go get some candy for yourselves.
Seriously?
Whoa!
All right!
Thanks, old man.
Yeah. Hurry up and go.
Okay!
Don't come over this way for a while.
Kids are so quick to adapt.
They don't even get surprised when they see us.
Edmund Baker, right?
You're pretty different from how she described you.
She made you seem like a prince on a white horse.
Emma, was it?
Your other half was pretty worried about you.
That so.
My suspicions were right on the mark.
Then, let's hurry up and end this!
What the hell?! So suddenly!
Stop! What the hell are you doing?!
Now I've got you.
This guy. His movements are wild, but he's experienced at fighting.
Bastard... Don't lay your hands on my Emma!
Huh? I think you've got the wrong idea?
Don't play dumb!
You messed with the wrong guy, partner!
Partner...?
Juzo is late.
Juzo said he and Edmund were two birds of a feather...
Huh? You mean...?
Speak of the devil.
Miss Emma!
A client?
Perfect timing! We found your husband.
He's with Juzo1
That's what I thought.
Huh?
I'm sorry. Please forgive me!
How many years has it been now?
I really thought I had gotten away.
But I was wrong. That day...
After seeing that attack that destroyed everything...
I was chilled to the bone.
That was a message from you.
Even if I change my name or my form,
you'd find me to get revenge.
No. Hey, that's...
But I can't let myself die by your hands!
That's why I got myself good and ready!
I'm gonna finish you off with my own hands!
Listen to me!
Enough talk!
Don't just say what you want!
You're so hard-headed!
You Gun Slave Units are covered in an skin of insulation.
Gun Slave Unit?!
Just like I thought!
But the special electric needles I just punched into you can bypass that!
What?!
Now, let's test it out with a bang!
I wonder what'll happen to that head filled with gunpowder...
...with a crazy burst electricity!
Juzo!
Here's some candy.
Split with that old man.
One of the kids!
Lightning and Thunder! Unstoppable Strike!
Over there!
I told you not to come back for a while.
Go on.
Okay... See ya.
Why?
Why didn't you strike me down?
I'd like to ask you, too.
Why'd you throw that kid my way?
Thought you'd protect yourself with insulation extensions
if you planned to use that kind of attack.
I see. You protected an unrelated kid before protecting yourself.
You aren't my partner, Five, are you?
I told you already!
You should confirm things before trying to kill a person!
My bad. My bad.
I mean, frankly, all of you guys look exactly alike.
Juzo! Are you all right?!
Tetsuro...
Emma?
What's wrong with you two?
This person knew that Edmund was looking for you when she asked for you.
She wanted you to appear before Edmund.
I see.
So, you came looking for me in your husband's place.
Why, Emma? Why'd you do such a thing?
I'm sorry.
After you went missing...
...I realized you were looking for a man with a gun for a head as soon as I looked
through the pictures and news articles you left behind.
Come to think of it, I left everything all over the place.
Considering your wild personality, I had no idea when you'd finish.
I didn't know when you'd come home...
I don't want to be alone anymore.
I'm sorry.
Ed... you're Theodore, aren't you?
Wh-What are you talking about, Emma?
I'm...
You always kiss my scar when you make love to me.
Why?
Hey! Don't say such embarrassing things in front of other people!
I-I don't do anything like that!
Like that?
N-No, it's just that you always worry about that scar.
I wanted to show you I love you along with that scar of yours...
Theodore told me the exact same thing.
That's the reason I no longer try to hide this scar from others.
Haven't you noticed?
I've never worried about my scar around you before.
Ed.
I can't win against you, Emma.
I'm sorry for deceiving you.
It's okay. I was never deceived.
Don't praise me like that!
I wasn't praising you, silly.
What the hell is this?
But why did you have to pretend like you were someone else?
That's...
You created a fake identity to keep your partner, Five, from finding you.
You didn't want Five to get revenge on you and the people around you.
Five?
You know him?
I remember him well.
Then, will you tell me?
Where is he now?!
Once I know that, I can...
There's no need.
I already took care of that guy with my own hands six years ago.
Juzo, you always fight for someone else.
You're a Hands.
Why did you eliminate my partner?
Does Juzo regret it?
