Eiji gets abducted and threatened with a fate similar to Ash's. Which is, according to Arthur and Shorter, a fate worse than death. Always good to know that both your enemy and your best friend think your life is hell. Not that they're wrong, just, ouch.  

We also learn a little bit more about the Government's involvement with Banana Fish and Ash comforts a crying child who's seen way too much.  

I won't let you go alone, Eiji: [email protected]
