Julia!
Professor.
You did not act
like a scientist.
I'm glad you're well.
What?
What do you mean?
The information is coming in in pieces.
Connor's condition worsened,
and he was attacked during transit.
I'm working through the details now.
I'll call back once I know more.
Try to get us something concrete.
I'm thankful.
I would've died.
Yes, that would've been bad for the both of us.
However, there is still more to do.
Of course.
I only have one purpose.
However...
fulfilling it won't be easy.
Tina, are you up?
Where am I?
You're at ECOHES.
This is my room.
You could've slept longer.
Are you okay?
Yes.
There's still time before William arrives.
Are you interested in some old photos from when we worked at the lab?
I know, you'll be investigating this on your own anyway.
Alan.
You came to monitor me?
This isn't right.
There are restrictions placed on data accessible to the SSC.
I've been locked out of all surveillance camera servers.
What's going on?
I'll have to...
This is my ID.
Give it a try.
It should give you access.
What?
If the top brass finds out you're helping...
I can't overlook your blatant misconduct.
I just want to know the truth.
And I'll use any means to get it.
Okay, I'll play it back.
Shots.
And then they crashed into the wall.
Is this the attacker?
Who is he?
Gary Evans.
The man who built the foundation for the Masks.
I see.
And is he proving to be an obstacle?
Yes, the professor changed.
He is...
disavowing the Masks.
Perhaps the accident took a toll on him.
Why now, though?
Well,
if you wish to see him,
I can take you to him any time.
Unfortunately,
the two of us...
don't really get along.
There were only police and ambulance staff inside the vehicle.
Why were there gunshots?
Connor probably attacked them, right?
He was on the brink of death.
I can't imagine he could've done that.
We don't know where Connor is.
Five crew members died.
The mysterious man.
The crew...
Doubt everything, huh?
Perhaps,
my perspective has been too narrow all this time.
What?
Edmond Chandler!
Find this man right here.
We have to ask him questions before anyone else can get to him.
My dad is laughing.
He had a really loud laugh.
Fred kept his headphones on because he couldn't stand it.
I've never seen my father like this before.
Really?
I guess he's gotten quiet over the years.
Mom.
Julia was probably our most passionate member.
She poured everything into the Mask research.
The Mask.
Everyone wanted to complete the Masks.
Yes.
Was that...
to help people?
Why did you want to help people?
That's...
Unlike my mom,
I've had people help me all my life.
I never really had such beliefs.
Actually, I just never realized I felt that way.
Not at the start.
I spent a lot of time wondering what I wanted to do.
But I suddenly realized it when I talked to Julia one day.
She said
she simply wanted to save people.
And that was enough.
That idea has helped me a lot in life.
The thought of wanting to help people is incredibly simple.
No matter how you dress it up,
there's nothing more to it.
Anna.
Tina.
I have no doubt that you are one of the people Julia wants to save.
My mom's wish.
I...
- So? - Calm down, it's analyzing now.
Hurry it up.
I'm increasing the accuracy.
It's done!
That's...
Gary Evans.
Why is he...?
Just find him!
There!
We're going to arrest him.
Is my daughter okay?
Please calm down.
Tina is safe.
Where is Tina?
Thank you.
For what?
For Tina...
Never mind.
There are many sides to everything.
Opposites can co-exist at times.
Yes,
just like a Mask.
I just didn't want to give her one-sided information.
I wanted her to know everything.
I know the beliefs we had then were real.
Tina?
What's wrong?
He's being attacked!
Damn it.
Get in!
Hurry!
Who are you?
Get down!
We can talk later!
Damn it.
How do we get out of this?
- You have an idea? - Yes.
But it's not exactly legal.
I told you I just want the truth.
What?
What do you mean?
Just do it!
Okay!
Mom.
Take a right next, then a left!
This should be far enough.
How do they know where we are?
Keep going!
Are you serious?
Just go!
Hold on!
What are they thinking?
Damn it!
William.
Tina's...
Anna.
Is there a garden nearby?
Tina! Tina!
Dad?
How did you know I was here?
Because you're my daughter.
You always go to gardens when you want to think.
Tina. I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry for everything I've put you through.
I'm glad you're okay.
Tina.
Dad.
I knew I would have to tell you one day.
About Julia.
About your mother...
and the Masks.
I hated myself for so long.
Hated how I was different from the other kids.
Hated how you didn't tell me anything.
Tina, I'm sorry.
I'm okay now.
I feel like I know you and mom better now.
I'm sorry.
I just wanted some time alone...
with my mother.
Come back inside.
It's cold out here.
We're investigating the Masks.
You're suspected of aiding Geffrey Connor's escape.
Is it true?
Could you give an explanation?
I never intended to aid in his escape.
Actually, you could say I'm in opposition of him.
I was only tracking the Mask that went missing.
How were you tracking the Mask?
Don't worry, it's regular paper.
Have you ever wondered...
if our creation of the Masks
is a natural product of human evolution?
Evolution led us to create and use tools.
However,
are we worthy of wielding the Masks?
A forced evolution by a conscious will.
Is this something built into human potential?
Is this evolution necessary?
Or unnecessary?
Who could determine this?
At the very least, history will change.
However...
humanity is not ready to accept it yet.
What?
Eddy has made contact with Gary Evans.
With the professor?
But how did Eddy...?
He thought he was connected to Connor's escape.
Why would the professor help Connor?
What is my father after?
They're asking him now.
However, during his escape Connor...
took a Mask.
Too much has happened.
Let's take a breath.
Connor used a Mask to escape,
and we haven't resolved any of the basic issues.
Now there's a third party involved.
We know what we need to do.
We arrest those seeking the Masks and protect Tina.
That's all.
Yes, and I intend to do that.
However,
our priority is to secure her safety.
Especially if Connor is using a Mask.
It's hard to say we're safe here if he has a Mask.
The sooner we act, the better.
It's currently dangerous to ask the metropolitan police for protection.
I'll arrange for a new safe house.
In the meantime, we'll look for Connor so we can strike first.
Connor's abilities and actions can't be predicted.
Do you have some idea?
Even so...
However, the Masks have their limits.
Right?
Yes, theoretically,
Masks cannot surpass the limits of human evolution.
While he may use a special ability in some way we can't imagine,
at the very least, he'll be limited to the human brain and genetics.
What do you mean?
We have to hide somewhere the Masks can't find us for now.
Jasper, get the helicopter ready.
Yes, ma'am.
I want to take responsibility for creating the Masks.
I'm going to erase...
all traces of the Masks.
