お花はんさんの おぼえた日記 - 2023年8月4日(金)

As my father said:

"He who would live, must fight."

Ah.

Well, indeed.

Sir? Something's not right.

Put a watch on him.

From what
Stellen-bitch has said,

our chances of getting down
the mountain on foot

are less than zero.

Which means we're gonna need
to borrow a snowmobile.

Now, the keys
aren't locked away,

but if we wanna grab a set
without being seen,

then we're gonna need
a distraction. A big one.

I'll handle that. We maximize
our chances that way.

Get out, get to a phone,
tell people.

Alex?

I'll stay and help Kyra.

She said it herself,
she can handle it.

I just...

I think I should stay. Why?

Maybe we should ask
Ian Rider? Whoever that is?

Right, well, it's now or never.

Let's do this.

I got that...

Go. Hey.

Shut that noise off.

Well, hello, James?

And where are you going?

There's a...
There's a fire alarm.

You're supposed to go outside.

Hmm.

Well, you can't get out here.

And it's a false alarm anyway.

But I'm really glad
I caught you.

I wanted a quick word.

It won't take long.

Come with me.

Sure.

You seem to have a habit

of trying to get in places
you're not supposed to.

No one escapes from this school.

I was hoping
you'd have learned that by now.

Although to be quite honest,
James,

I struggle to see
you've learned anything

since you first arrived.

Here at Point Blanc,

we are dedicated to making you
all better people.

I think it's time I showed you
exactly what that means.

Hello?

Miss Stellenbosch,
sorry to bother you...

"He who would live,
must fight."

It's Mein Kampf.

Why would Parker pass it off
as something his father said?

Michael Roscoe
would never quote Hitler.

I also mentioned Point Blanc.

His friend shut me down
immediately.

So who is he?

His name is Langham.

He joined Roscorp Media

as Parker's personal assistant

immediately after
Michael Roscoe's death.

Before that, someone's worked
very hard to cover his tracks.

But he turns up in Cape Town,

armed forces originally,

then a dishonorable discharge,

then private security
after that.

His last contract
before he drops off the radar

is at the same
research institute

where Eva Stellenbosch worked.

Why would a school
provide a minder

for one of its graduates?

Whatever this program is,

maybe it doesn't stop
at the school gates.

So they just vanished
into thin air?

Yeah, I know it sounds stupid.

No, not stupid.
Scary and strange.

What are you doing? I wanna find out

what happened to James,
don't you?

Is your plan to dismantle
the whole building

one piece at a time?

What's this?

Put your coin in the slot
and you get to play, right?

I'm betting there's another way
out of Stellenbosch's office,

and it either leads
down to the basement

or up to the second floor.

Either way,
it'll lead us to James.

You're like a ninja.

A really, really bad one.

So this is the second floor?

Shh.

Alex, I don't like this.

This is my photo.

What is this?

Alex.

Look at this.

This isn't my
room. That's my room.

Who's in your bed?

I put pillows.

They're watching us.

Not watching. Studying.

Everything we do.

They've copied his graffiti.

Let's get out of here.

So, what do you think of Kyra?

I think we've got
as much out of that one

as we're ever going to.

I agree.

So we can start tidying up
our loose ends,

starting now.

Ah, Doctor.

As I said, a lifetime's work.

These are my completed notes
on the process.

Good.

And this is the only copy?

Of course, as you insisted.

Doctor,
I just wanna tell you that your work here

has been astonishing.

I can honestly say

that I couldn't have done this
without you.

What you've accomplished here
at Point Blanc

will help to shape
a better world.

Well, that's very kind of you...

Be proud of yourself.

You have achieved miracles.

Tomorrow will be brighter
because of you.

Hmm.

It's a shame.

But change is never easy.

Have this taken away
and disposed of.

Of course, doctor.

And take care of Kyra tomorrow.
