Monster Ep 65 - Yohan no Ashiato (Johan's footsteps)

Capek is horrified to find Johan at his mansion when he goes there to hide himself. Johan assures Capek that he has not added poison into the red wine. He then asks Capek about the whereabouts of Franz Bonaparta as he knows that the latter is still alive...

Capek's bodyguards go to the hotel where Nina is staying so as to capture her. However, she is well-prepared for their sudden appearance. She is shocked to know that The Baby has been murdered and that it was Capek who gave orders to come after her. She then asks the bodyguards to bring her to Capek.

The police comes to Milan's place for investigations on the motive of his assassination attempt. The residents there are looking on silently as they recall how Tenma left some time ago and told them to take care of themselves. Tenma reminded them not to think of revenge for Milan where they should concentrate on achieving their dream of touring one another's hometowns together. The police manage to find lots of information on Capek in Milan's room and decide to look for him with regards to this case. Just then, they receive news about The Baby's murder and proceed to handle this matter first.

Tenma tails the man who has been seen with Capek frequently to an apartment. The man calls out for Johan in the apartment but the latter is not around. As such, he settles down comfortably to read a book while waiting for Johan to turn up. When the man hears footsteps, he assumes that it is Johan but it turns out that Eva has entered the apartment with a gun.

Capek's bodyguards bring Nina to his mansion and they see him sitting in a daze. Nina remembers Capek from her scary memories and rushes up to him with her gun. Capek is not concerned about this since Johan said that Nina will finish him off. Nina can't stop herself from panting due to fear as Capek tells her to kill him quickly. She finally calms down and makes Capek bring her to where Johan is.

Eva laments that Martin would not have died if she didn't point out Johan to Capek and the man. She forces him to tell her where Johan is and says that he did not appear for the past 2 weeks. When the man claims that he doesn't know, Eva shoots his ear and states that she's serious about this matter. Eva reveals that she knows about his identity i.e. Christof Sievernich who is the heir of Germany's most influential conglomerate and wants to find out what Capek is up to by introducting Christof to Johan. Christof says that he has known Johan for a long time since they were in 511 Kinderheim before he was adopted by the Sievernichs. This was unknown to Capek who thought he had brought them together. Johan had saved Christof at that time when the massacre among the children and adults happened so they are long-time buddies and he's going to help Johan achieve his aim. When Eva asks Christof what they are planning to do, he takes the chance to divert her attention and snatches her gun. He rants about Eva spoiling his looks by shooting his ear and gets hysterical. Just then, Tenma barges into the apartment to save Eva as gunshots are heard...

On the way to meet Johan, Capek asks Nina why she doesn't kill him even though she has regained her memory. He then drops a bombshell by saying that he knows how the twins were born...

It was mentioned all along that Johan is the sole survivor from 511 Kinderheim's massacre but now, we know there's another guy who was saved by him. I wonder how Johan would know that this guy would be of use to him in future because it seems strange that he will save anyone without an agenda. Given Christof's influence as a heir of the Sievernichs, he should be able to provide monetary support to Johan.

As for Nina, just what exactly did she remember from the past which is making her behave like this? And Capek seems to know something about Johan and Nina's background which suggests that their births were premediated.
