Monster (MONSTER)

"June 19."

"My first meeting with Franz Bonaparta."

"RF179. A very quiet man."

"Refined manner. Wears a suit."

"Children assemble for book readings in the afternoon."

Where do you want to go?

-To the border. -Which one?

The Czech border.

Get in.

Thank you.

Children assemble for book readings in the afternoon.

A very eerie mansion. Red Rose Mansion.

P. Břevnov W.

Steeple to the left.

Weather vane to the right.

Human dignity. Experiments.

Magnificent experiments.

Depravation of dignity.

Where are you from?

I mean, what country are you from?

I'm Japanese.

I don't know if Japanese people like this,

but have it.

It's left over from my lunch.

-Thank you, but-- -Eat!

You look like you're about to collapse.

My wife keeps nagging me to go on a diet.

Thank you for this.

Go on. Eat up.

You'll never make it through a long journey if you don't eat.

I've got to bring this journey to an end.

You're kidding!

You let him go? You let Tenma leave?

-Yes. -Why didn't you stop him?

I think you know he's not someone who can be stopped.

Yes, but--

What's more, with Eva Heinemann missing, we're in a dire situation.

Tenma escaped to save her.

That lawyer who called himself Baul,

I'm pretty sure he's the same man who tried to take my life at my office.

He got close to me to get his hands on my father's notebook.

That notebook must be pretty darn important.

I'll be going now.

Where to?

To where Tenma's going.

Do you mean the Red Rose Mansion?

Where is it?

My father's notebook was filled with perplexing notes.

But I don't think this was in code.

"Red rose mansion. P. Břevnov W."

"P" stands for "Prague."

"W" stands for "west."

To the west of the Prague suburb Břevnov.

From there, you can see a steeple to the left and a weather vane to the right.

I see.

Hopefully, we'll find someone

at that mansion who can tell us something that solves all of this.

But it's doubtful.

Wait.

"Children assemble for book readings in the afternoon."

That was also in the notebook.

Children from that time could tell us something!

Mr. Verdemann.

I criticized you earlier for not stopping Tenma.

But if I'd been in your shoes, I probably would've done the same.

Come on. Let's go.

THREE FROGS

I was here.

I lived in this neighborhood.

And…

Welcome back.

Are you okay, Nina?

I'm okay.

I think you should give it up.

Every time we look, you get lost.

No, I'm sure I'll remember.

My brother told me what happened back then

when he was taken from the Three Frogs,

what he passed along the way, and where he was taken.

After passing the station, he saw the city on the left

and they traveled alongside the riverside trolley.

Turn right here--

Don't try it.

Keeping secrets from him is a no-no.

Right, is it?

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

What do you think? Do you see anything familiar?

I'm not sure.

We'll never find it.

It happened so long ago, you'll never remember it!

Nina!

A weather vane on the right.

A church steeple on the left.

Nina!

The Red Rose Mansion.

Is this the place?

I'm not sure.

But… I know this place.

I'm scared.

What's that?

It's like a door emerged from inside the wall.

There's nothing here.

Nina?

Nina!

Nina!

You demon!

You demon!

The demon is dead.

How are you feeling?

Welcome back, Mr. Lipský.

Did you get an audience?

No. Nobody watched, as usual.

But they're such lovely puppets.

What I'm making now is even lovelier.

I can hardly wait to see it.

I'll bring it to you as soon as it's finished.

It's time for me to go to work.

At the restaurant?

Yeah. I can't make a living off of these puppets.

I'm so sorry that I've been a burden to you for so long.

No, I don't mind. Don't let it bother you.

Mr. Lipský, there's something I'd like to ask you.

What is it?

Three months ago

when you found me passed out and took me to the hospital…

Yes?

What were you doing at that mansion?

Nina?

Nina!
