Tenma: These wounds...
	How did he get these wounds all over his body?

Hartmann: Don't you think you ought to be running away now, Mr. Tenma?
	I called the police, along with the ambulance.

Chapter 20 : Project

Tenma: Mr. Hartmann!  I asked you how Dieter received these injuries!!

Hartmann: What right do you have to ask me...?
	You're being chased by the authorities for murder...

Chapter 20 : Project

 - Page 83 -

Hartmann: My my, you ARE a fugitive.  Such a short temper.

Tenma: You did it, didn't you?

Hartmann: Did...?
	Did what?

Tenma: You've been physically abusing Dieter.

Hartmann: Abusing...?
	I wish you wouldn't try to hurt my reputation so.
	Right, Dieter?

Dieter: Ugh...

 - Page 84 -

Hartmann: What are you going to do?

Tenma: Take this boy to a hospital.

Hartmann: Murder, and now kidnapping?

Tenma: Don't move!!

Hartmann: This will only get you arrested sooner.

 - Page 85 -

Tenma: *hah*
	*hah*
	*hah*
	It's okay, Dieter, I'm taking you to the hospital now.

Dieter: I'm scared...  of the hospital...

Tenma: Don't be scared.  The doctors will help you.

Dieter: It hurts...  Mr. Hartmann always helps me get better.

Tenma: But he's the one who hurt you...
	Haven't you ever been to a hospital?!

 - Page 86 -

Dieter: I'm scared...
	The world today is full of bad things...
	That's why I have to get stronger.
	Stronger...

Tenma: Is that what HE told you?!

Dieter: The world...  is all darkness...
	Tomorrow...  is pitch black...

Tenma: That's not true at all!
	That's the biggest lie I've ever heard!

 - Page 87 -

Dieter: Really...?

Tenma: Yeah, really.
	Oh, I forgot.  Here's your soccer ball.

Dieter: Wowwwww!

Tenma: Tomorrow will be a great day.

 - Page 88 -

Tenma: I'm sorry for coming in at such a late hour...

Nurse: That's fine, but we're quite busy right now.  It will take a while until he is treated.

Tenma: P... please, couldn't you do something about that...?

Nurse: There was a very serious accident...

Police: The bus driver was killed instantly.  We must ask the truck driver some questions.
	He can still talk with two broken legs, right?!

Doctor: Treatment comes first!  Do your investigation afterwards!!

Police: Let us wait here, until then.

Tenma: I will be back in two hours.  Please look after the boy.

Nurse: But...

 - Page 89 -

Tenma: And DO NOT let him leave with ANYONE other than myself!!

Nurse: Huh...?

Tenma: Thank you!!

Nurse: W...  wait!!

Police: Is the crash site cleaned up, yet?
	No, not yet...  the congestion is terrible.

Tenma: {Sigh...  what am I going to do now...?
	First, find someplace to put Dieter...
	But if I send him to the police, I can't go with him...}

<<Hartmann: Johan's younger sister was given to another orphanage, so I don't know her very well.

 - Page 90 -

Tenma: That's it!!
	Ahem...  pardon me.  I heard that there was an orphanage around here...

Man: Orphanage...?

 - Page 91 -

Caretaker: You want me to take in a boy for you?
	What's the matter with you?!  Look what time it is...!

Tenma: I know it's an unreasonable request.  But the boy...

Caretaker: I realize that he is a victim of child abuse.
	But unless I know who you are...

Tenma: Well...  I can't exactly...

Caretaker: Then I can't just accept a child from a total stranger.

Tenma: Er...  but...
	Is this the orphanage that took care of a girl named Anna Liebert?

Caretaker: Anna...  Liebert?

 - Page 92 -

Caretaker: You know Anna Liebert?

Tenma: Th...
	Then Anna was here, wasn't she?!

Caretaker: Yes!!  Ah, I miss her.
	How is Anna?  Is she doing well?

Tenma: Y-yes.
	S...  she's attending Heidelberg University right now...

Caretaker: Really!!  She must be very happy!!
	Anna was such a good girl...
	I knew her until that trade advisor Liebert fostered her...  and her twin brother too...
	Hmmm...  what was his name...

Tenma: Johan...

Caretaker: Yes, Johan, Johan!!
	They got along so well...  It was so sad when they were separated into different orphanages.

 - Page 93 -

Caretaker: Those children were truly alone until they came here.
	Before they came to me, they were found walking along the Czechoslovakian border, holding hands... shivering in the chill...
	Mr. Liebert only wanted Johan, at first...
	But Johan wouldn't let his sister stay alone...  so Anna was able to live happily with him...

Tenma: I've heard some horrible things about orphanages in East Germany at that time...

 - Page 94 -

Caretaker: Don't associate us with Kinderheim 511.

Tenma: Uh...

Caretaker: The bathroom's that way, Inge.

Inge: Mama.

Caretaker: It's okay, there's nothing to be afraid of.
	Now, you can go potty by yourself.

Inge: Okayyyyyyy.

 - Page 95 -

Caretaker: Those children have never known a parent's true love.
	Only affection can cause a person to grow...
	As you said, the East German orphanages were terrible.
	All called by numbers. We were Orphanage 47...
	But I tried my best under those circumstances.
	So that it wouldn't turn out like the government said it should.
	So that it wouldn't turn into Kinderheim 511.
	That one was joint-run by the Ministries of Health and Internal Affairs.  Do you understand what that means?
	The internal conditions were controlled entirely by Internal Affairs.
	Because it was actually an East German...

 - Page 96 -

Caretaker: EXPERIMENT...!!

Tenma: What...?

Caretaker: A project to transform children into perfect warriors...
	Psychological modeling...  Human programming...  put them together and observe how they hate and fight each other...
	An experiment to give birth to a completely emotionless human being, with no compassion or feeling...

 - Page 97 -

Caretaker: Can you imagine what they would be like if they grew to be adults?
	Now, there's no way to prove what happened there.
	Right before the Wall fell, all the secret papers and theories there were burned.
	Everyone in Internal Affairs related to the project fled the country...
	But I heard.
	Only one person was able to hide his career and stay here...
	He was the demon who watched over the Kinderheim 511 Project...
	He was actually a child psychologist in the Internal Affairs Dept...
	However, he calls himself a Minister of Health to the public...

 - Page 98 -

Tenma: {A minister...
	of health...!!}

Caretaker: Are you done, Inge?!
	Sweet dreams, honey.

Inge: Good night.

Caretaker: Sleep tight.
	But all of that belongs in the darkness of the incident.

Tenma: The...  incident...!!

 - Page 99 -

Tenma: What incident?!  What happened at Kinderheim 511?!

Caretaker: I've said too much...  brought up some bad memories.

Tenma: Please!!  Please tell me what happened there.

Dieter: Soccer ball...?

Nurse: What...?

Dieter: Where's my soccer ball...?

Nurse: Oh...

 - Page 100 -

Nurse: Here it is, dear.
	But don't play any soccer until you get better.
	That man said he'd come back and get you soon, so you rest quietly until then.

Caretaker: Even I don't know the entire truth.

 - Page 101 -

Caretaker: The East German government issued a complete gag order.
	It started with the unusual death of the director of Kinderheim 511...
	Then a battle between the instructors began over who would succeed the director.
	The entire operation fell into anarchy.  The individual squabbles between children could not be controlled...
	I'm surprised Johan managed to survive.

Tenma: What...  what happened at Kinderheim 511?!

Caretaker: Everyone died.

Tenma: WHA-!!

 - Page 102 -

Caretaker: The instructors and members of the orphanage all murdered each other.

 - Page 103 -

<<Tenma: That's the biggest lie I've ever heard!
	Tomorrow will be a great day.

Nurse: Dieter,
	someone is here for you.
