Board 8 > mcflubbin's Baccano! watchthrough topic! [anime] [for real this time]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Last topic got deleted because I can't say the name of the goddamn train. Bah, whatever. We'll try this again.

Warning! Spoilers throughout the topic!

Many people have recommended that I give Baccano! a try, so here goes. Instead of doing character rankings like I did with my Durarara!! topic, I figured that I would try a first watchthrough topic instead. So join me now, won't you, as I travel back to the early 20th century and dive right into the world of Baccano!

Don't spoil anything for me, damn you.

First episode should be up shortly.

We begin!

Episode 1: The Vice President doesn't say anything about the possibility of him being the main character
Awesome episode title.
Link:

Aw yeah, liking that jazzy music right away in the opening. Yep, you can definitely tell that it was made by the same people who made DRRR, since it's showing us all of the characters' names. Blargh! Character overload. I can't possible remember all of these peoples' names. I'll try to summarize what's going on. The side-burned man (Isaac) and the blonde chick (Miria) are wearing all sorts ridiculous costumes. Fat guy with candy bars. Baccano! flashes on the screen. Firo and Maiza seem like classy fellows. And then there's three angry guys gambling. And then a pissed off looking bearded guy. This Ennis chick doesn't even have a last name. This Lua chick looks like she's loaded. Maybe she's Ladd's trophy wife? This Chane chick is angry at the wall and decides to throw a knife at it. An explosion! This girl's name is Nice, and she's wearing an..... eyepatch. She's being led by a guy with a Mike Tyson face tattoo named Jacuzzi. Eve just closed a book. Dallas appeared out of nowhere and is drowning. Dying in the opening is pretty pathetic. Some kid with a name I'm not even gonna attempt to pronounce is playing card games. That was a nice opening.

Anyways, on with the actual episode! We're introduced to a little girl named Carol (who wasn't even in the opening?) and she's fiddling with some books, and some badass with a monocle walks in (monocle = instant awesomeness). He's the vice president of something. Well, they're talking about the strange events that started in the late 1930, so I assume that's where the bulk of the story is gonna take place. At this point, I'm not sure of the relationship between these two. We're doing some weird flash backy stuff trying to find a main character, and JESUS, THAT COLESLAW KID JUST GOT SHOT IN THE FACE! Some other dude just got shot up, but that wasn't as interesting/important.

Oh God, this hobo is doing the whole "God is watching your actions!" shtick to make people feel bad about not giving him money. Firo gave him money and oh crap now the hobo’s trying to stab him. Firo should really turn around and WHY DID HE GRAB THE KNIFE?!? Oh God, the hobo just cut his fingers clean off! Wait, what the hell? His fingers magically reattached themselves. I call witchcraft! Haha, The Vice President thinks it’s funny when hobos get punched in their poor, toothless faces.

Now some big beefy guy (possibly a gang leader?) is riling up his subordinates. Something about destroying rival gangs. He’s seems like a jackass, but I still kinda like him for whatever reason. They all run off and do their thing. I think they managed to capture a rival gang member, and big beefy guy is pissed off. Well, apparently beefy guy managed to kill this Luck guy, but now his superior (apparently he’s not the gang leader) tells him to search for a guy named Dallas. A little girl is searching for Dallas as well. Commercial time!

http://i.imgur.com/XAF2w.png

Now we’re in 1931. I’m not quite sure where we were before, so that really doesn't help me out. Dallas is a Genoard. I’m not sure about the significance of that, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out soon enough. Beefy guy likes to kill people without permission. Beefy guy’s name is Gustavo. That helps quite a bit, but I can’t help but think that Gustavo is a stereotypical fat guy name. Oh ****, Dallas knows that it was Gustavo who killed half of his family. Not good. Spectacled gang leader is displeased. Luckily for Gustavo, he can bring Dallas back dead or alive. I’m guessing by the look on his face that he’s thinking “dead”.

We finally get to scene where they’re torturing the captured gang member. Lol, Torturer: “Ugghh! Don’t you ugghh me!” Ooh, that’s a lot of blood. Huh, Luck isn’t actually dead. This Chick guy (lol) really scares the hell out of me. He just tortured a guy by cutting him open with scissors. That’s more ****ed up than shooting a little kid in the face. Tortured guy #1 is, unsurprisingly, now willing to talk. Flashback to earlier with Luck and Firo in the book store. Luck reads Edgar Allan Poe. There was an incident a year ago, and now Luck doesn’t fear death. Ooh, mysterious. They’re talking about gangs. Lord, there are too many gangs, and I can’t really keep track of them all. I don’t have any idea what these two are talking about, honestly. They’re just having a casual confusing conversation when all of a sudden, a bunch of gang members show up! They start shooting. Wow, that was a pretty exaggerated “person getting shot up” scene. Firo probably isn’t dead though, because of that weird thing that happened with his fingers earlier.

Cut to a crime scene along a railroad track. Bodies strewn all over the damn place. Police officers are investigating, two detectives arrived to do some investigating of their own. Police officer says that there are bodies over several kilometers. Silly police officer, we don’t use the metric system here in ‘Merica. Detectives are shady and mention something about immortals. Well, that pretty much confirms that Firo isn’t dead. Now they’re discussing the safety of some mystery woman. Now they’re talking about covering up some incident. Yeah, these guys are pretty sketchy. Oh jeez, there was a survivor. The plot thickens! Time to do some super sleuthing.

Back to the book store. This book store owner basically says what everyone is thinking. “*****, you just got shot the **** up, how the hell you not dead?” Well, that was more of a paraphrase. Luck just smiles. Some scene with Isaac and Miria involving Isaac getting his ear cut and then healing miraculously. I’m guessing this scene will make sense later. Coleslaw just woke up (from getting shot in the face? The time skips are confusing me). I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume that he’s an Immortal. Firo goes into badass mode and whoops some generic thug guys. Manages to tie one up. Luck is a swell guy and offers to pay for the damages to the book store. Ha, I really like the owner of the book store. He’s a cool dude. Some shadowy guy promises he’ll find something. OK. Glad they put that scene there.

Firo and his little ring of friends have a conversation about the train that can’t be named, as well as the people riding it. Naturally of course, I have no idea what the **** is going on. Hey, we’re back to the survivor from the railroad incident. He’s with his woman. Did he just threaten to kill her in front of all of those cops? These cops are worthless, and they’re afraid of this guy. Pansies. Since Nice and Jacuzzi stood out the most in the opening credits (face tattoo and eyepatch), I recognize them right away. Also, some shady chick gets off of the train. There’s a bunch of luggage in a river of some sort, and some other lady in a black dress is floating on a crate. Isaac and Miria get off the train greet their friends. Coleslaw gets off the train, too, and has an epic stare down with Maiza, and the episode is over.

Episode 2: Setting the Old Woman’s Qualms Aside, the Unnamable Train Departs
Link:

Watching the intro again, I’m gonna figure out which characters I don’t know yet. Haven’t seen this Keith or Berga guy yet, but I guess they’re in the same family/gang as Luck. Don’t know creepy bearded guy yet. I’m pretty sure Ennis made a very brief appearance in the last episode. Lua and Ladd were the train survivors, I believe. Haven’t seen Dallas yet, but he’s been mentioned several times. Everyone else I at least kind of know.

Onto the actual episode. We’re at the train station, and the Unnamable Train is about to depart. Some old guy is complimenting its beauty. His wife is not as impressed, however, and warns him that they shouldn’t get on because it’s cursed, and apparently she has a sixth sense about these kinds of things. She predicts that a lot of people are going to die. I tend to trust cryptic old ladies, so I’m pretty sure that we’re in for a treat. I’m also gonna take a risk and say that this is the old woman from the episode title, but don’t quote me on that.

Yay! We’re in California in 1930! The Gold Rush, obviously, and of course, Isaac and Miria are there to try and make it big. Haha, these guys are funny. I’m actually surprised that I don’t find them annoying, but I just don’t for some reason. Apparently, centipedes are the gods of gold mining. Huh, I guess you learn something new every day. Damn, Miria is quite excited about that. I’m surprised that after 9 months these guys are still so upbeat. They get a letter from that Ennis lady. She invites them to come back to New York. Jeez Ennis, way to kill the mood. Here we learn that Ennis mustn’t be human, because she says that she was created. Yeah, sure, whatever. I'm not even in the mood to wonder about that right now. Isaac must be pretty sharp in order to come up with some BS so quickly in order to cheer Miria up. Lol, they’re bouncing up and down on their hammock. They agree to go back to New York! Miria asks where they’re going to get the money, and Isaac casually tells her that they’ll just commit a train robbery. Sounds fun.

Haha, what the hell? Isaac and Miria dressed up like baseball players and smashed some members of the Mafia over their heads with baseball bats and stole their money. Now they’re at the train station in some new threads, and some shady orchestra requests to ride in the freight hold. Some lady wearing green gives Isaac and Miria a dirty look before boarding the train. Three conductors are talking. The old guy says that he’ll be retiring after this train ride. Clearly, that means that this guy is going to die, because life is unfair. Oh wait, maybe not. He just got jumped, so he probably won’t even board the train. I shouldn’t say that I’m relieved that he got jumped, but I am.

Man, this Jacuzzi kid needs to slow his roll. He’s freaking out over something. His group is also pretty mysterious. Coleslaw is also here, and the man with him tells him that they have a secret room “in case of an explosion”. It was a pretty believable thing to say. Man, I don’t even know who Senator Beriam is, but his wife and daughter are definitely not safe, these shady people wearing white have pretty much confirmed that. I’m not sure what this Ladd guy is blabbing about. He’s deranged, and it looks like Lua doesn’t really care for him that much. Oh well. Commercials and stuff.

Oh snap!

And we’re back! Everyone is now aboard the train! And then there’s like a 3 second scene where we see an old man floating through the sewer. Neat. Anyways, back to the plot. Oh hey, it’s the man himself, Senator Beriam. He’s talking about some sort of mysterious item. Whatever it is, it must be pretty damn important, since he’s willing to sacrifice his wife and daughter for it. What a nice guy.

Oh ****, there’s a bomb on the train (is that the mystery item?). Hey, maybe now we’ll actually get to sit down with Jacuzzi and Nice and actually learn about them. It’s obvious that Jacuzzi is a serious worrywart and that Nice is the opposite. Jacuzzi doesn’t really seem like the type who would want to draw attention to himself, so I wonder what the deal is with the face tattoo. I’m assuming it’s a mark with some sort of meaning. Anyways, Jacuzzi is having a mini meltdown while Isaac and Miria are having a grand ‘ol time eating Chinese food on the other side of the room. Ha, Nice just recommends that Jacuzzi goes and talks to them because she thinks that there’s no way two people could be so over the top without being actors.

Strangely, Jacuzzi actually does. Awkwardness ensues. They’re asking him about his face tattoo, and poor Jacuzzi looks like he’s about ready to burst into tears. He’s so flustered that he starts apologizing for no reason. Isaac is as confused as I am, so he has a mini conference with Miria. They conclude that they’ve won (lol?) and then formally invite Jacuzzi to come and eat with them. They’re actually having a good time when Coleslaw and the senator’s daughter (whose name is Mary) bump into Jacuzzi, causing him to nearly choke. At this point, it’s pretty obvious that Mary and Coleslaw are bumping uglies. The senator’s wife follows them, and joins the party after apologizing to Jacuzzi, who apologizes to her for no reason. Oh, her name is Natalie. Everyone introduces themselves. Oh God, Isaac and Miria just made the best serious face ever:

They’re trying to scare Jacuzzi by telling him about the mythical Rail Tracer, which I’m totally sure doesn’t exist and will never be mentioned again. Huh, the conductors are talking about the Rail Tracer, too. Unsurprisingly, Jacuzzi flips the **** out, and Isaac and Miria have a very satisfied look on their faces after a very successful trolling. There is a way to stop the Rail Tracer, but they’re not gonna tell us what it is yet. Oh ho, this mustachioed conductor is doing something sketchy with the lights. The orchestra people are up to something. Oh no, mustachioed conductor has a crazed look on his face. The orchestra leader guy is giving a fanatical speech about some dude named Huey, which is another thing that I assume I am going to find out about later. Apparently, these guys are ghosts or something. Ahaha, best dialogue of the episode:

Jacuzzi: “So, in order to be spared…”
Isaac: “What are you supposed to do again, Miria?”
Miria: “I don’t know this is the first time I’m hearing about this, too.”

Haha, these guys are great. Anyways, the bartender saves the day and says that the young conductor on the train knows the tale quite well, so Jacuzzi runs to find him right away. Coleslaw wonders why he gave out his real name earlier, because he has a secret or something. Mustachioed conductor just turned the creepiness to the max. Jacuzzi bumps into Ladd on his way to the conductor, and Ladd yells at him because Ladd sucks. MUSTACHIOED CONDUCTOR JUST PULLED A GUN! **** just got real. We end the episode with the younger conductor presumably getting shot in his face.

Wow, it only really took 2 episodes for this show to get interesting, even though I still haven’t the slightest clue what is going on.

Episode 3: Randy and Pecho Are Busy Getting Ready for the Party
Link:

Hrm, I just realized that I could have been watching the dubbed version instead of the subbed version this whole time. I’ll see how much I like it. Anyways, we begin in 1932 at a hazy harbor. A girl is watching the boats do something. Dragging something out of the water, it looks like. Her butler comes and gives her a jacket and asks if she wants to leave, but she insists on staying just a while longer. She says “Dallas.” I have no idea who Randy and Pecho are.

Back to 1931 we go. A crowded office building. Two gang members walk in. A man named Nicholas (omg, he has the same name as me!) introduces himself at the door. Apparently, this is a newspaper office and he’s an information broker. I learned a lot from Durarara!!, but the most important thing is that you should never trust information brokers. The gang members are asking about Dallas Genoard, and Nick says that it’ll cost 500 dollars, plus a piece of information about themselves, and then explains that this is how information brokers stay in business. This doesn’t please the gang members, who start to raise their voices, and oh crap, everybody in the damn office now has a gun pointed at them! It’s apparent that things like this must happen all the time. Nick asks for the information again, but before we get an answer (I’m gonna assume they spilled the beans), we’re back in 1930!

A bunch of gang members walking down an alley looking like punks. Another man walks past them and drops a cigarette on the gang guy’s shirt. The other man then starts running his mouth about how he’s a member of the Runorada family, but the gang guy obviously doesn’t give a ****, because he punches him in the face. The gang guy then starts beating the hell out of the other guy until the beating is stopped by a mysterious third party, who claims that they're on Gandor turf. The beaten guy gets up and limps away, and the gang members walk the other direction. The third party wonders who those people even were. I don’t understand this scene, but whatever. I would like to mention that in English, I really like all of these guys’ mobster accents.

Back to 1931! We’re on the Unnamable Train. Ladd and Lua are dancing, and Ladd is talking about…. killing people. What the hell is the deal with these two? He keeps saying that he’s gonna kill her, but he’s gonna save her for last, because we wants to kill everyone else first. What. Well, some guy walks in and says that some Vicki person is missing. Ladd has a meltdown, but Lua mentions that Ladd could just go and look for Vicki. And so that’s what he’s gonna go do. He walks out the door, and he bumps into Jacuzzi. We’ve already seen that scene, but now we know that Jacuzzi’s is wanted for a crime of some sort, and that’s how Ladd recognized him. I’m surprised he hasn’t been captured yet, honestly. People with face tattoos generally stick out in crowds. And oh my, Jacuzzi’s English voice is……no. I like everyone else’s (because I can actually hear the accents), but Jacuzzi’s is pretty annoying. Also, Ladd tells Lua and some random guy to go to the conductor’s compartment and snatch Jacuzzi while he’s out doing his thing. Ladd comments that things are getting interesting, but he’s quite late to the party because things actually started getting interesting last episode.

Two guys are sitting in an alley. Guy #1 lights his hand on fire, and Guy #2 is amazed. Guy #2 is so impressed that he tries the trick for himself. His hand is on fire, but since he’s wearing cotton gloves, it hurts like a *****. Guy #1 now fills us in that the trick only worked because he was wearing leather gloves. Of course, in his panic, he knocks over the gasoline, which causes a huge fire when he finally manages to remove his flaming glove. I’m sure that this scene isn’t important.

A white mouse is tied up. Oh no, there’s a menacing shadow over the mouse! AGGHHHHHHH! The mouse just got smashed with a hammer! NO NO NO!! NOOOO! =’(
Time for a moment of silence for Sir-Gnaws-a-Lot.
…
….
…..
Oh wait, false alarm, he’s alive. Now I feel dumb. The weird phenomenon that happened to this mouse is the same thing that happened to Firo. This creepy old guy just perfected his formula for something! Hip hip hooray! Hey, what do you know, his shack is on fire. That was some good timing. Now he has to gather all of his most important materials and bolt. That really sucks. NOOOOO! He left the mouse! What a bastard! The shack collapses, and we cut to commercial as I sob silently for Sir-Gnaws-A-Lot.

Wow, that was a long commercial break. Well, we’re back, and this time, I have a box of tissues by my computer just in case. Yay, a black woman! And not just any black woman, a large black woman. Damn, dem lips are huge. It’s like this show knows what I want. She’s with Dallas’s sister and her butler, and they’re about to go into the newspaper office. As they’re walking in, the two gang members from before are walking out with disgruntled looks on their faces. So yeah, Nick greets them and stuff.

Firo is out shopping for hats and stuff. He finds one, and Maiza welcomes him into the Martello (sp?) family. As they walk out, they bump into Isaac and Miria, who are acting like rich snobs. Firo and Maiza see smoke from the fire from that one guy’s shack. Firo goes to check it out, and Maiza calls him a rubbernecker. Upon arriving at the scene, Firo bumps into Ennis (I think). She apologizes, and then says she’s looking for someone before leaving. Firo realizes she dropped her ring, so he goes to find her.

Back to the train! Jacuzzi bumps into Donny and Nick (there’s another one named Nick -_-) and tells them that he needs to find the conductor, and then scurries off. Nice is right behind him, and tells Nick to watch the dining car while her and Donny go and check on the freight hold. Nick is unclear about his instructions, and since he thinks that Nice wants him to keep the people on the dining car quiet, he pulls out a knife and walks in.

Hey look, more black people! He’s an information broker. Eve hands him a picture of Dallas and asks if he knows him. Black guy is offended, and says, “*****, don’t you know who I am?” He goes on to tell her that Dallas is known as the biggest scumbag around. Eve mentions that Dallas was always nice to her, and then black guy feels bad and apologizes. Some guy (he’s Asian; this is a crucial detail) brings in some papers for the black guy. He skims through the papers and sadly announces that they have no information about Dallas’s whereabouts.

Firo’s walking through the streets now. Some gang members are harassing the old guy with the super special formula and Firo is watching on. The head gang dude calls Firo “Nancy” and then tells him to scram. Both parties do some trash talking. Firo goes into BAMF mode and messes those nameless thugs up. He goes to help the old man. The old man also tells Firo to scram. Poor Firo can never win. The old man is kind of being a dick here, but I can understand why. He discovered how to cheat death, dammit. Firo asks him if he saw a lady in a thin black suit, and he says no. Firo departs. The old man limps through the streets clinging on to the box with a crazed, determined look. Oh, old guy just got jumped by some dude in red. He’s looking pretty dead. Guy in red says “Firo”, and now has the box.

Stuff is finally happening on the train! The orchestra just pulled out guns, as well as some creepy guy in white. Nick also walks in with a knife. After a brief moment of confusion, Nick inexplicably apologizes and leaves (lol?). Isaac and Miria put on their serious faces under a table, because being held hostage is serious business. The old man comes back to life in the alley (his eyes do this weird rolly thing, too), and Ennis is standing over him, but the box is missing. Meanwhile, Jacuzzi finally made his way to the conductor’s department, and sees that the young conductor is dead, confirming his belief that the Rail Tracer exists and is out for blood. Aw man, **** is going down.

Episode 4: Ladd Russo Enjoys Talking A Lot and Slaughtering A Lot
Link:

Anyways, here we are in1931. Ladd hears gunshots as he’s skipping down the hallway. He informs us that he loves guns. Nick runs past him screaming for Nice. Ladd ignores him and keeps talking about killing and stuff.

Now we’re in Chicago 10 hours ago. A fat bald guy is angry and is throwing things at his lackeys. The lackeys are explaining the incident from before when they were attacked by Isaac and Miria in baseball outfits. Fat bald guy isn’t amused. “MY FAT ASS!” he yells. The goons then tell him that the body of one of their men was found, but it was barely recognizable. Bald guy slams a picture of Jacuzzi on the table and yells. He then says that they need to put a lock on all of the couples in the city, but Ladd Russo walks in and says that’s unnecessary. Apparently, fat guy is Ladd’s uncle. Uncle Bald Fat Guy isn’t happy that Ladd is here.

They’re talking and then Ladd starts choking one of the lackeys. No one is helping him. Jeez, his eyeballs look like they’re gonna pop out of his head. Lackey 1 is dead now. Why did no one do anything? Doesn’t lackey 2 know that Ladd’s probably gonna- oh, now Ladd killed him, too. All fat guy has to say is “Ladd, you’re a freak.” The fat guy is barely even bothered by the blood on his face. Ladd says that he’s disappointed his uncle doesn’t approve of his work as an assassin, but his uncle says being an assassin is the only thing Ladd’s good at.

Ladd starts talking about how awesome it would be if he hijacked a train. His uncle tells him to leave, but then Ladd’s posse walks in. Ladd introduces Lua to his uncle. She’s his fiancé, apparently. The look on fat guy’s face is priceless. He's shocked that such a twisted **** like Ladd could get such a hot piece of ass. Uncle starts yelling at Ladd, but Ladd pulls out a shotgun (I have no idea where he got the shotgun from). Ladd says he loves to kill people who don’t expect it, and Uncle looks like he’s about to piss himself. Uncle begs for his life, Ladd pulls the trigger, but it isn’t loaded. He laughs and says that he would never kill his dear sweet uncle. Uncle begs him to leave, and they do. Before they go, uncle asks Ladd why they’re decked out in white, and Ladd simply says that blood stains make their white clothes look pretty. Huh, never thought about it like that, didja?

Back on the train, the two factions started shooting at each other. The girl in green from before who gave Isaac a dirty look climbs out the window. It appears that the black side has secured the dining cart, but then Ladd walks in. The two guys in black point their guns at him. He puts his hands up and walks slowly towards them. He does some badass thing where he kicked one of the guy’s gun hand, causing him to point the gun behind him, and then pulled the trigger to shoot the guy’s partner, who was standing behind him. The guy who got shot is still kicking, and since he can’t get a clear shot at Ladd, he bails. This leaves Ladd and the other guy. Ladd could just shoot him, but he tosses the gun away. The other guy tries to pull a fast one and stab Ladd, but nope. Not gonna happen. Ladd spends a solid 1 minute 40 seconds beating the guy to death. To say that the passengers are horrified would be a ridiculous understatement.

Ladd’s reinforcements arrive, but they’re late to the party. Ladd recognizes Senator Beriam’s wife and daughter, and casually tells them that he’ll come back for them after he dispatches of the blacksuits. As Ladd and friends walk away, Coleslaw says to himself that he can use these guys. Commercial time!

Annnnnnnd we're back! Eve, Samantha (oh yeah, I forgot to mention, that’s the black lady’s name), and the butler all get into a car. Sam and butler try to reassure Eve that they’ll find Dallas soon. The two information brokers are having a conversation. Apparently, they know something about Dallas, but they couldn’t tell Eve. They say some stuff that’s probably pretty important, but I zoned out so I don’t know what they said exactly. I could go back and rewatch it, but I don’t feel like it. The black guy says something he shouldn’t, but then hushes up right away. Nicholas inquires about it, but black guy says that he’s already said too much. Nick concludes that it’s something about Immortals, and black guy tells him that he’s under orders from the president to keep his mouth shut.

Now we’re getting the scene of Firo and Maiza bumping into Isaac and Miria from Isaac and Miria’s perspective. They go into the hat shop and Isaac tells Miria that they shouldn’t draw attention to themselves, even though they’re the only ones in the shop. They then proceed to try on a ridiculous amount of hats in the most boisterous way possible. They can’t decide on one, so they decide to purchase them all. They give a wad of cash to the old shopkeeper, and they tell him to forget about what he just saw, or lights out. They then grab the hats and run out. The old man startles them by giving them their change, and then goes back to reading his paper. Things like that must happen all the time for the old man to not even be surprised by Isaac and Miria’s behavior. Isaac and Miria are walking through the streets, and oh God, they just had the best dialogue exchange ever.

Isaac: “From the time we started our little robbery tour, we’ve done 87 jobs from San Francisco to New Jersey. All of them have been interesting challenges. But have I ever once come close to putting your life in any kind of danger?”
Miria: “Only 87 times.”
*long awkward pause*
Isaac: “My point exactly, love! It’s still less than 100!”
Miria: “Oh yeah! I guess you’re right!”

These two are a riot. Isaac describes his aspirations of becoming rich and moving to Miami with Miria. They’re whirling in the middle of the street and blabbing about their futures, when all of a sudden, they’re hit by a car. Their hats go flying everywhere, and they comically fall to the ground.

We back on the train! The guy in black who got shot by Ladd but bailed is getting stitched up now. The guys in black are talking about the guys in white. Some guy has epic sideburns. This Chane chick gets up to leave. Sideburn guy asks where she’s going, and she just shoots him a dirty look and leaves anyways. Sideburn guy asks main blacksuit guy why he let her go, and he says she can do what she wants. Besides, she’ll be dead by tomorrow anyways. >.>

Apparently, Ennis is the one who ran over Isaac and Miria. I believe that the man in the passenger’s seat is the creepy bearded man from the opening. She’s taking orders from him. Isaac and Miria get up and start yelling at them, but Ennis just drives away. Ladd is giving a little pep talk to his crazy whitesuit friends. I’m confused. They all love killing people. How did Ladd manage to assemble a team of people who love to kill people? He must have put out flyers saying “ATTENTION ALL SERIAL KILLERS! We’re starting a serial killing club. Meeting at 8 p.m. at the city hall. Cookies and juice will be provided.” Too bad the Internet didn’t exist back then, or that would’ve been much easier.

Ennis and bearded guy walk into a building. Bearded guy taps his foot thrice (I could have just said “three times”, but thrice is such a cool word) and opens a secret passageway. That was pretty cool. It’s a secret meeting of old people. Yay, bearded guy figured out the formula for immortality! He says Mr. Barnes has it, so he orders Ennis to go and find Mr. Barnes. He tells her that she can kill him if she wants. Oh, Mr. Barnes is the old guy from before (mouse murderer ;_;). He’s being mugged in an alley by guy in red shirt (Dallas) and friends. Ennis now discovers that Barnes’s shack is on fire, and goes to find him. She bumps into Firo and stuff. Nice and Donny are running on the train and what the hell is that in the window? It just left a bloody handprint. It has red eyes, so I’m gonna assume that it’s the Slasher.

The words “What’s next on Baccano?” appear on the screen, and I find myself asking the same question.
