Our Daily Bread

The second episode starts off with an officer of the National Police's Anti-Terrorism team going home to his family of wife and two children. Moments after a heart-warming home welcome of the officer and entering into their residence, the house was blown to bits. The scene then changes.

We now see Kirika and Mireille out on the street, shopping. As would any couple of girls on their day off from assassinating people. Upon going home, she got an email about another job that they would do. Later on in a restaurant outside, Kirika notices the TV talking about the officer being killed.

The scene then changes to the funeral of the officer where the priest's prayer sounds very similar to that of the introduction speech about Noir. A man walks up to another attending the funeral and wanting to talk to him, evidently, about the dead officer. Going back to the car to talk, we now find out who the officer is and that this is the third person of the GIGN [France's counter-terrorism Special Ops Force] officers who has been killed. What more, they feel that someone in the department is leaking information to the outside, letting the terrorist know who the officers are and where they live.

Mireille and Kirika do some girly things like watering plants and cooking. When Kirika is pealing a potato, Mireille asks her to pass the knife, Kirika picks up the knife, flips it over and gives it to a surprised Mireille. Mireille contemplates how dangerous Kirika really is.

After dinner, Mireille waters a plant that she keeps in her apartment. Perfectly normal girls like I said! Just have jobs as assassin. She then sees the pocket watch beside the plant and the soft melody begins and flashback starts. Of the time that she and Kirika sits together on the small table in Kirika's house and talk of what Kirika knows of herself and of Mireille. Now, layer two of flashback starts, of when Mireille is but a little girl, watching something horrible as she holds on to her teddy bear.

In a restaurant across town, we see two men discussing the death of the three GIGN officers. The man behind him just asked about the money. Upon looking at the guy who wants money, we know that it's the man in the funeral this morning that was entrusted with the responsibility of investigating the murders of the GIGN officer.

He is actually the head of France's National Security Bureau, Jean-Jacques LeGrand. Along with him is the man that he was meeting with, Pierre Cressoit, leader of the right-wing terrorist group, National Armed Alliance. Both of them are now targets of Noir because LeGrand sold Cressoit the roster of GIGN. In this scene, Mireille is telling Kirika who they are and why they should die.

Scenes of where LeGrand and Cressoit are located are played. We see the Noir team spying on LeGrand and Cressoit in a fast food restaurant across from the fancy one. Scene changes again and we see Cressoit's house as Noir team walks across the front gate. Back in Mireille's apartment, she lays down a blueprint of Cressoit's mansion and determines how they are to enter the place. And an email is sent back to the assassination request that noir will take the case.

In preparation for their hit Mireille and Kirika head down in to the sewers to check their shooting skills. Meanwhile, LeGrand goes to visit Cressoit in his house. Cressoit tell LeGrand that he captured a member of the group and that he admits that to eliminate them, they've hired assassins. And that he confesses that the group has hired Noir. LeGrand freaks out at hearing the name and talks of how they have previously used Noir for special assignments.

Noir infiltrates the mansion and complete the mission, afterwards, as Mireille and Kirika walks down the river back home, Mireille comments on how good the weather will be. Kirika looks as downcast as ever and said "Our daily bread... Murder is my provision... but, why am I not sad?" as tears falls down her cheeks.
