Assassin's Game


The third episode of Noir begins with Mirielle holding a bundle of white flower visiting someone in the cemetry. Soon, she notices a long white-haired lady also standing out in the rain, overlooking a tombstone. The lady is without an umbrella in the soft rain. The music in the background is a soft ballad, reflecting the sadness of losing someone. As the lady turns to go, Mirielle watches her.

Wondering what grave the lady visited, Mirielle went to look at the same tombstone and notices that the same type of flower that she is holding laying across the grave.

The scene changes and we now see Mirielle on her computer, looking at a guy while talking to Kirika. The new target's name is "Albert Dux," a crooked businessman who reputedly killed a young president of Venier and gained his position. The person who wants to hire Noir is the young president's wife, who by coincidence perhaps, is the lady that Mirielle saw in the graveyard.

At the flower shop with Kirika, Mirielle buys the same bundle of flower that she carried in the graveyard, "Belladonna lily." (Very pretty in my opinion)


Back in the graveyard, we see the young president's wife, standing over the grave again. As she turns to go, she meets face to face with Mirielle carrying a bundle of the flower. (The president's wife is very pretty too! ^_-) They got to talking and we find out that Mirielle was visiting the grave because of a friend. Visited rarely because Mirielle was never closed to her, but really liked her. Started talking of the flower, belladonna lilies, that the people they know also loved them.

They found a place to sit, infront of a big waterfountain, talking about the lilies. We find out that the belladonna is poisonous, but that belladonna lilies are totally different and even if poisonous, he (assuming the husband) loved them.

At home, we find Kirika cleaning her gun with care! (Ever cleaned a gun? It smells!) And slowly, she points the gun toward Mirielle and we find her cleaning her gun too. All of the sudden, they are pointing their guns at one another. Kirika asks "Are we doing it?" And Mirielle answers with "We are doing it." And bang, they shot one another and they both died. End of Episode 3.

Just kidding, they meant the mission =) So, we are overlooking a big mansion on a cliff near the ocean. As Mirielle talks in the background, we see Dux talking with his associates. We find out that Dux recently bought a hotel (the mansion) and that he is staying at the stateroom to discuss the renovation before the grand opening. With this, is the chance for noir to smack him silly. We then see the girls running across the walkway towards the mansion in the black cover of night.

The really cool soundtrack starts to play and they infiltrates into the building silently, looking from rooms to room. As this goes on, Mirielle talks in the background of the plan of getting in. Kirika is to take the emergency stairway with Mirielle seemingly going in from the front!

Upon entering a large door, Mirielle spies a man sitting alone in a big chair. She slowly points at gun at the man, and all of the sudden...

My computer broke and I can't type no more!
AHHHHH!!!

All of the sudden, bright light shines at Mirielle, ambush! Three other men points guns with flashlight at Mirielle and she had no choice but to surrender her gun. The man turns with his chair with a wine glass in his hand and says, "I didn't expect the famous noir to be such a beautiful lady." We now know that noir had been setup to be taken down. After Mirielle surrenders her gun, we see the lady of graveyard walking next to the man in the chair, and now, we definitely know it's a setup. However the lady was surprised at seeing Mirielle's face, but quickly recovers.

We now see three men guarding the door, and slowly doorknob turns. Kirika enters and points her gun at the men. Back in the room where Mirielle is being held, we hear gunshots and the men with flashlights point toward the door.

Both the man and the lady gasp their surprise as the three men guarding the doors falls through the open door and more gunshot heard. Kirika had busted Mirielle free as they ran down a corridor toward some door.

Immediately, we are in the AV room where men are turning on the monitor with green display (nightvision) and the man watching the bright green screen and yells "Lock down the building" Now we know, it's a trap to kill Noir. However, it seems as if the lady didn't really want the plan to go on due to the fact that she talked with Mirielle in the graveyard before.

As noir ran, Mirielle shots at the camera spying at them and ended up on a dark room. Walking around, Mirielle declares that it was all a trap, and that Dux and client were all fake. A monitor lights up infront of them where it now says "Target: ... NOIR" Mirielle and Kirika discusses about the target, and decides that the target had been them all along, and that they are professional assassins just like them. The hunter and the hunted had just switched place. Kirika further decides that it is their true enemy that initiated this, the ones that erased her memories.

[Commercial break, coffee break]

Back at the scene, two men runs down a corridor while noir waits in one of the room. We see Kirika with her eyes closed and gun in her hand, listening at the sound of the footsteps. All of the sudden, Kirika points her gun at the door and fires two shots. Killing both men through the door. (She is dang good, ain't she?) When the men are dead, the girls ran out the room and down the corridor where the men were coming from. Back at the base of operation, Team C is declared dead. The man decides it is time for plan C after losing several men.

Soon, Kirika and Mirielle came upon the casino parts of the hotel with slot machines and tables for cards. At base, noir's entry into casino hall is heard over the radio and the man gives out more instructions.

In the casino hall, Mirielle believes they are trapped and promptly sits down and asks if Kirika wants some drinks or popcorn. Soon after, the power was cut and blackness shadowed the casino hall.

Popcorn, Kirika asks Mirielle that she'd like some. And Mirielle looks at Kirika with such an expression that it is just hilarious =)

Now equipped with nightvision goggles, the ultra-cool soundtrack starts to play. The team of bad boys starts to storm the casino hall to search and destroy. What follows, go look at the screen shots =)

After the firefight, Kirika turns the power back on and we see pieces of glass and popcorn on the ground. The lady is still alive and sees Mirielle standing over her. They started to talk again, that the meeting in the graveyard is but a coincidence. Mirielle says that people like them shouldn't be going to graveyards, that they may just fall into a grave themselves.

We find out that the grave IS really her husband and that he did like the lilies. Mirielle then questioned her about who asked them to take out noir, but she refuses to answer by asking Mirielle if she would if she was in her position. Then when asked what her name is, she replies back what is the point of asking... there isn't a grave to carve their names in.

Back in their home, Mirielle wonders about the enemy and Dux. That Dux did not know that they were girls. That the true enemy is using them like a pawn and probably watching them at this very moment. All they could do is keep winning the game.

At the graveyard, Mirielle is there once again, holding a bundle of belladonna lilies. She thought to herself, that it is not so bad... not having a grave. Because it is the path that she wants to takes in life. Mirielle stands over a grave and knows it isn't the lady's, but she tosses the lilies out into the air and asks, "what would a gravestone mean anyway?"
