Angel Heart 15
When Ryo and Xiang Ying go check the message board, it seems as if there is no new assignment for Ryo, but then Xiang Ying discovers a small strap of paper with a message for XYZ. She decides to take on the mission herself and goes to look for the person who wrote it. It’s a little girl called Tanya, who wants City Hunter to look for her father. The description she gives of her father seems a lot like Ryo, and when he comes in she really thinks he’s her father. Xiang Ying isn’t very happy, so Ryo tells her he isn’t really Tanya’s father, but he can’t possibly tell the girl. He does have an idea about who her mother is: she looks a lot like a hostess from a club he knows. Later Tanya, Ryo and Xiang Ying go to talk to the girls mother. On their way their, Xiang Ying remembers a scene from her past: she had drawn her mother and father, because she was starting to forget their faces. The guys in her organisation then made her shoot the drawing. When they arrive at the club, Tanya’s mother, Irina, is very surprised to see Ryo, then she tells him she used his description because Tanya kept asking about her father. Tanya’s real father is Kurahashi Katsumi. Ryo recognizes that name: six years ago Katsumi is sais to have taken money from the Luzen Republic. But Irina says it wasn’t Katsumi, but his boss, Kishimoto. Xiang Ying decides to help Kurahashi, because she wants to see Tanya’s genuine smile. The next day, Ryo discovers one of his guns is missing, and Xiang Ying is looking for a good spot to shoot Kishimoto. She thinks that if he’s gone, Kurahashi won’t have any more reason to hide.
This is a double episode, so I can’t wait to see what will happen next: will Ryo stop Xiang Ying, will she shoot Kishimoto and then realize it doesn’t help? And will Tanya realize that Ryo isn’t her real father?
