Here in the rain

What an illusion...

You really are okay with this, right?

Yes.

Two Separated

I'm begging you, please tell me.

Vanessa Rene isn't the kind of person that would

do something as outrageous as assassinating someone!

There's just no way she could be part of a royal assassination!

Oh? That's nice.

Please! Give me some clue how I can get a hold of her.

Ask the police about stuff like that.

Please tell me.

I don't know.

I'll take any scrap of information, no matter now tiny.

I don't know anything. And even if I do, I don't intend to tell you.

That woman's given us enough trouble to put us into early graves!

We don't want to get involved.

Don't give us any more problems than we already have!

Hey...

You're...

Why are you scared of me?

Shoot two at a time.

Your shoulders are too stiff.

What should I do?

Keep shooting until all these bullets are gone.

This many of them?!

This is the kind of thing where you just have to do it over and over.

If you do, your body will learn the right way to relax on its own.

All right.

I'm going to go investigate those letters.

Don't slack off, okay?

Yes, Teacher.

I see. So you came to look for Miss Vanessa, Mr. Winston?

But I can't get hold of a single clue.

Well, I guess that stands to reason, though.

After all, right now she's basically being hunted by this entire country.

I didn't think she'd be easy to find, but...

What about the place where Miss Vanessa was staying?

I've been told she was registered at her hotel,

but only slept there for one night and never came back.

Miss...

If we try asking the people who are hunting Vanessa,

maybe they'd know where she is.

What are you talking about, Miss?

The people who are after Vanessa are from a criminal organization!

But...

"Criminal organization"? What do you mean by that?

The truth is, a friend of Miss Vanessa's came to visit us, and...

Is it all right to leave them be?

It's fine. We've already finished our investigation of them.

There was the news report as well. I was shocked.

Even if we leave them be, they're no threat.

The History of Gazth-Sonika...

Lady Quanzitta...

Nakhl, the wind is about to blow.

It will be quite a pleasant wind.

And then I have only to entrust myself to it.

The time has come to do our duty, hasn't it?

Yes. Very soon.

Very soon...

Very well, my lady.

You still can't find them?

Then expand the search to cover a wider area.

Give the police orders to put more people on their search team too.

Limelda?

What is it? Don't you have special orders to...

I have something I'd like you to see, Captain.

What kind of joke is this supposed to be?

Furnishing weapons not just to us but to Galza too?

That's impossible.

So you did know, then.

And what if I said that I did?

I'd shoot you.

What would that accomplish?

Probably nothing would change.

That's right. It would be a wasted action.

Certainly...

All of my actions up until now have been a waste.

That's not necessarily true.

If you just accept this fact,

you won't lose your rank or honor as a member of the elite guard.

All you have to do is be faithful to the mission given to you.

My orders from the Army are just orders from Enfant now, that's all.

Exactly. That's all.

Nothing will change from the way it's always been.

I'm not shrewd enough to live my life in a false war.

Oh? Now that you know the truth, what are you going to do?

You're a stupid woman.

I know.

I wonder why it is...

That girl's face is the only thing that's coming to mind.

Just that girl...

This is...

It's the same. Why?

You know.

You know where another book is.

You know where Secondari is.

Elies...

The Elies script.

A writing system made by a different civilization

to any of the world's four great ancient civilizations.

Why?

Why are you after that book, Madlax?

Before you ask me questions, how about at least introducing yourself?

Nakhl.

My name is Nakhl.

Why are you after that book?

Answer me.

I'm just searching. That's all.

What's your purpose?

I'd prefer to stay alive.

Are you with Enfant?

No.

Then will you please leave me be?

I know instinctively that if we fought, one of us would die.

You, probably.

I won't die. I made a promise.

You're someone who seeks a Book.

Yes.

In that case, I will test you.

So that's how it is.

You were looking for someone who could read Elies back then as well.

I'm looking for my own sake this time.

So that I can go on being myself.

Different.

You are different.

I'm...

You are different.

I'm...

You're different!

Dad, what is this?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I'm...

You're different.

I...

You are not worthy of having the Book.

Don't...

Don't deny it.

But you're different.

Don't deny...

Don't deny my existence!

I missed?

This power...

So you'd returned, Carrossea Doon.

Or rather, Enfant agent.

Limelda...

I found out the truth about this country.

From Madlax?

To me, her words are infinitely close to the truth.

Why are you making this civil war continue?

What is Enfant thinking?

Even if you knew that, there'd be nothing you could do.

I wonder.

I'm surprised. I thought you were more intelligent than this.

You've overestimated me.

A pity.

I wanted to touch your skin a little while longer.

Me too, Carrossea.

But I don't want to be manipulated more than I already have.

Not by this country, and not by you.

I hit it!

To think she still had feelings for me...

Miss, it's gotten late.

Let's go back to the hotel for the night.

Even if this is a demilitarized zone, this country is dangerous at night.

But we have to find someone from the criminal organization...

No.

Why not?

Everything looks fake to me.

The city, the people...

SHE is the only thing that's real.

So I'm...

going to kill her.

I can't even sense her presence.

Because it would put our lives in danger.

Yeah, that's true.

"That's true"?

But if we have to in order to see Vanessa, then I...

What's the matter, Miss?

Let me hear you talk about the soul

Look at me without averting your eyes

You think I'm nowhere to be found

If you're going to run to somewhere you can't see

Shake off all your unnecessary adornments

Even if you lay your heart bare, the baggage is too heavy

You really were the one to die. Even if you lay your heart bare, the baggage is too heavy

Even if you lay your heart bare, the baggage is too heavy

No, not yet. Even if you lay your heart bare, the baggage is too heavy

Even if you lay your heart bare, the baggage is too heavy

I'm not dead yet.

The time is approaching.

But you're someone on the outside.

The outside?

Those without the Gift must not become involved with the books.

You have a little of it in you.

But that's all.

You're...

Margaret Burton. Why are you here?

She ran away.

No, she let me go.

Excuse me...

Are you all right?

Miss, this is dangerous.

This is the woman on the Wanted Criminals list.

Miss?

Madlax...

Who are you?

Please wait! We're acquaintances of Miss Vanessa Rene.

I'm Margaret. Margaret Burton.

You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always

Margaret... You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always

You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always

Yes, Margaret Burton. You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always

You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always

A friend of mine. You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always

You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always

Margaret Burton. You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always

Margaret Burton. There's only one wish I remember on rainy days

There's only one wish I remember on rainy days

Yes. There's only one wish I remember on rainy days

There's only one wish I remember on rainy days

The shard of me that I left forgotten in your heart

Madlax. The shard of me that I left forgotten in your heart

The shard of me that I left forgotten in your heart

Margaret Burton. The shard of me that I left forgotten in your heart

The shard of me that I left forgotten in your heart

Madlax. The shard of me that I left forgotten in your heart

Madlax. Is it still there?

Is it still there?

Margaret Burton. Is it still there?

Margaret Burton. Sleeping inside a closed book

Sleeping inside a closed book

I'm Madlax. Sleeping inside a closed book

I'm Madlax. Pandora's jewels called "memories"

Pandora's jewels called "memories"

In a hesitation hiding a sigh

You are one who does not know the truth. In a hesitation hiding a sigh

In a hesitation hiding a sigh

I was always watching

You are one who knows only a false truth. I was always watching

You are one who knows only a false truth. My eyes cracked and fell to the ground I was always watching

You are one who knows only a false truth. My eyes cracked and fell to the ground

My eyes cracked and fell to the ground

They are quartz fractured into crescents

The truth is me. They are quartz fractured into crescents

They are quartz fractured into crescents

So please... They are quartz fractured into crescents

So please... You're the only one who satisfies my heart

You're the only one who satisfies my heart

Hurry here, okay? You're the only one who satisfies my heart

Hurry here, okay? I'll always be waiting

I'll always be waiting

Hurry... I'll always be waiting

I'll always be waiting

Here in the rain

So you can touch the truth in this false land.
