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.
The rash of robberies everywhere...
That was you, Nai, wasn't it?
...سلسلة السّرقات في كلّ مكان
كان ذلك من صنيعك، صحيح يا ناي؟
Die Werksdiebstähle überall,
das warst du, nicht wahr, Nai?
Esa serie de robos…
Fuiste tú, ¿verdad, Nai?
Esa serie de robos…
Fuiste tú, ¿verdad, Nai?
Les vols qui se produisent partout,
c’est toi aussi, Knives ?
हर जगह डकैती की वारदातें...
 वह तुम ही थे ना, नाइ?
Tutti quei furti in giro per il pianeta...
Os incidentes de roubo em todos os lugares...
Foi você, não foi, Nai?
Кто-то по всем Пустошам крал станции!
