#3. A Black Lure

47)
1: All this sunlight has made the grass too hard. There's nothing we can do.
2: I'll say.
3: Judging from the looks of the weather, though, there won't be any rain for a while.
4: Okay,
5: time for a short break.

48)
1: Gather up with your group and rest for 10 minutes.
2: Tch... I've heard that so many times already that I could get a callous on my ear!
3: They keep making us pull up grass day after day... What could they be trying to plant here?
4: Hah... I hope I never get old. They're planting chrysanthemums. Can't you tell?
5: Oh yeah, I think I did hear them mention that.
6: Dalmatian chrysanthemums, to be precise. (*T/L Note: Flowers that can be used as natural insect repellent.)
7: No matter what sort of work we do, it's always connected to those goddamned mosquito coils.
8: Yeah...

49)
SFX: klak x7
1: Masaki and Matsushima, from Cell #2.

50)
1: What is it? Don't tell me there's someone here to see one of us.
2: You need to learn to come when you're called...
3: You two are being moved to Cell #4.
4: Cell #4?
5: Hmph. I figured that was the case.
6: Tch! It's all thanks to you.
7: Those fights we had are just gonna keep haunting us. I knew that one-eyed bastard would do something like this.
8: In Cells #4 and #5, they use work to tire us out.
9: Doesn't matter where I go, though. I know this entire place like the back of my hand.

51)
1: Geez...
2: Now this place has gotten even lonelier. We've lost all our fighters...
3: Don't worry. I bet we'll get some more newbies soon.
4: The... old cell leader...
5: Oh, so this is where they put you, boss?
6: I was wondering where you'd been...
7: Don't call me that. They bumped me down to 4th rank.
8: Looks like you lost a little weight, too...
9: You bet I did. They have us working with dirt and grass every day, you know.

52)
1: Ahh!
2: Wh-what are you doing?!
3: Urgh!
4: Matsu... Go on, try to scream. Heheheh... I'll twist that slender neck of yours right off...

53)
1: Matsu... Unless you want to get lynched, you need to tell us the truth. You're the one who did this to me, aren't you? That's the rumor that's been flying around.
2: You put some weird map into my pocket... The warden was going to pardon me next year, you know!
3: It was obviously her. She's the only one in that cell who could have done it. The rest of them are all pussies...
4: Then let's hear you say it!
5: I didn't find a single pencil in her things.
6: Tell us the truth!
SFX: smack x2
SFX: haa x2
7: Stop wasting time, and just strip her already.
8: Auuggh...
9: Gag her.
10: Auugh...
11: Matsu, you need to tell us the truth now!

54)
1: If you're ready to tell us the truth, then nod yes.
SFX: Aiieeeee
SFX: wham
2: Out with it!
SFX: thud
3: Haa,
4: haa...
5: Toda, if you want to find that pencil... There's still one place you haven't checked, isn't there?
6: Haa, haa...
7: OK. Hold her legs for me.

55)
1: Auggh!
SFX: thud
1: Matsu! Tell me the truth!
2: Say it!
3: Tch... It isn't in here... And that knocked her out.

56)
1: OK... Stop working!

57)
1: Ten days in a row... Twenty days in a row... The work never ended.
2: Tch!
3: Goddamned sun. Did you forget how to make it rain, you asshole?!
4: My old body feels like it's on its last legs...
5: Hey... Guards... I-I can't bear to do this anymore. The nerve pain in my lower back is acting up...

58)
1: Please let me do some other ind of work. I beg you...
2: Please, Mr. Guard, I beg you...
3: Keep working... You women from Cell #4 always take the longest.
4: Heheh... See? It's futile!
5: Because of the delay in the planting period, the work went on and on...

59)
SFX: bwooosh
1: Wh-what was that?!
2: It-it was...
3: l-lightning...
SFX: fzzz
4: Ahh...
5: It's raining...
6: Rain!
SFX: rumble
SFX: fssssh
7: It's raining!

60)
1: Stay still! St-stay in your groups!
SFX: crackle
2: Aiiee!
SFX: rumble x2
3: Stay in your groups and get into the cars!
SFX: fsssh x3
4: Wait, everyone.
5: Now's our chance to escape.
6: What?!
7: Escape?!
8: If we miss this chance, we may never get another one. Or would you rather spend a few more years... or perhaps your entire life inside here?

61)
1: We know the lay of the land here. This is a perfect opportunity. Those who are scared are welcome to stay behind!
SFX: fsssh x2
2: I-I'm going!
3: M-me too...
4: Hurry up and get over here, Cell #4!
5: Hey!
6: Stop!
7: Stop! They're escaping! They're escaping!
8: Get the rifles! The rifles in the car!
9: Call the warden!
10: OK! The rest of you need to go chase after them!
SFX: rumble x2
SFX: fssssh

62)
SFX: dash
1: Hurry! Hurry!!
SFX: haa x2
2: OK, this is the spot!
3: Let's spend the night in that hut.
SFX: flash
SFX: rumble

63)
SFX: fsssh x2
1: It's getting even worse now.
2: There's no way the guards will make it out this far.
3: The police dogs won't be able to help them either.
4: I'm just glad I made it this far... Now I'll finally be able to see my son again...
5: Once the night comes, we'll be safe.
6: We can just steal some clothes from a house nearby... Heheheh! Then we'll be home free!
7: Where's Matsu?
8: She said she was going to go watch for the guards...
SFX: rattle
9: Is that you, Matsu?! Did you see any of them?
10: Aaaaaahh!

64)
1: We captured the escapees from Cell #4 and put each of them into a solitary cell.
2: Mmm...
3: Now, I know the weather created an unexpected situation, but you need to manage things better so that these sort of accidents don't happen again.
4: Now, I want you to add prison escape to their list of crimes and then return all their files to me.
5: Does this mean... there's only one person left in Cell #4?
6: That's right, sir...
