Meryl and Roberto are taken to JuLai, the Third City, by Zazie. There, they learn why and how the human race ended up on this planet, No Man's Land. They also see Conrad, the former leader of the Sinners research group, who explains his goals. Meanwhile, Vash and Wolfwood reach the top floor of the JuLai Tower, where Knives awaits.
Long time no see, 
Count Lebnant Vasques. Or should I say...
لم أرك منذ مدّة أيّها الكونت ليبنانت 
...فاسكس. أو ربّما عليّ قول
Lang nicht gesehen.
Cuánto tiempo, conde Lebnant Vasques.
Cuánto tiempo, conde Lebnant Vasques.
Ça faisait longtemps,
comte Revnunt Buskus…
बहुत समय से नहीं मिले, 
काउंट लेबनेंट वास्क। या मुझे कहना चाहिए...
Da quanto tempo, conte Revenant Vasquez.
Há quanto tempo, Conde Lebnant Vasques.
Ou devo dizer...
Давно не виделись,
граф Левнант Васкез.
