I know who the killer is!

I know who the killer is!

I just don't have proof yet.

What was that?

What the hell was that?!

What's this?

Are they...

Are they dead?

Are they all dead?

What was that?

Calm down, we got fired upon.

Are they dead?

Are they actually dead?

I'm afraid so.

No, we have to go get help!

Go where? There's no one left.

To the VIP car! It's armored, someone must have survived!

I don't have access.

Here, take my key! I'll wait here.

Are they dead?

Are they actually dead?

I talked to Major Sargas.

You may go to the VIP car. There isn't a single bullet hole there. I guess it really is armored.

Huh? What?

Major Sargas said you may move to the VIP car.

Oh? He said so?

Yes, you can spend the rest of your journey there.

Hello, may I see your ticket, please?

My ticket? My good man, don't you recognize the Honored Artist of the Great State?

THE Francis Kentaro?

I've played the Leader himself, the whole country knows me, and you're asking me for my ticket?!

Did you hear that, folks? My ticket!

Here's what we'll do: you leave me alone right now, and I'll pretend that nothing happened.

Got it? Splendid.

Wow! Are you THE Francis Kentaro?

I don't recall our being introduced, my dear, but we must fix that right away!

Care for a drink?

I'd love to!

Oh my, you were absolutely incredible as the Leader!

A devoted fan like you will be pleased to know that I will soon be adding another jewel to my collection of roles!

Don't keep me in suspense, who is it?

All in good time, my dear, all in good time!

At least give me a hint!

I will only say that he too is an uncompromising, tough person.

A real war hero! And you won't get another word out of me on the matter!

Yeah?

Do you need something?

Yes, I guess... Listen, my good man. After those events... You know what I mean. I haven't been able to go back for my belongings.

Do you want me to bring you something?

Yes. I left a record in my compartment. Bring it to me.

Did you mean this record?

Yes... Thanks.

I never knew you listened to this kind of music.

I used to... When I was young.

And I dreamed that I too would sing about freedom, happiness and the bright future ahead...

Isn't that what your songs are about?

Oh, come off it. You know what my songs are about.

Party! Leader! War!

Sounds like you don't really like all that stuff.

I don't understand how ANYONE could like all that stuff.

If it weren't for my mom's illness, I would sing completely different songs.

But we all have to do some things that we don't like, right?

I guess.

How are you?

What?

I mean, after all this. How are you holding up?

Holding up? Yes, that was... bizarre.

One second they're alive, the next — gone.

Nothing like the movies.

Nothing remotely like...

I'm not sure I can keep playing heroes now...

You'll get over it.

Have you seen the ambassador?

The ambassador?

Yes, the person you dedicated your song to, I think.

That's right. He even applauded. But they say he hasn't left his compartment since the raid.

Do you think he got hurt?

No, he just won't come out.

It seems that this raid left its mark even here.

If only they could have seen what WE had to go through!

I think they're already depressed enough.

Well, yes. I guess.

Was that a HEROIC song you were singing?

I was in a different car at the time and could only hear it faintly.

Yes, it's dedicated to the exploits of Airel Johnson.

Do you think it might lift the spirits of our passengers?

I'm not sure I can sing it THAT well.

But you're an actor. You don't have to be a hero. You just have to PLAY one.

I'm sure the ambassador would be grateful to you.

You think so?

I think you should at least try.

If he comes after you start singing, then it will have worked.

True... I AM an actor, after all!

And you've played the Leader himself!

That's right! The Leader himself!

It's settled!

And now I'm going to go on stage and sing this song even better than the first time!

That's the spirit!
