Plot[]
At the Roanapur Public Cemetery, Bunny the Undertaker and her assistant watch a tomb's cover open, and slowly emerging from the coffin is Sawyer the Cleaner draped in a large, black reaper cloak. Complimenting her outfit as splendid, Bunny claps her hands and urges Sawyer to wear a frilled dress with a bow. Surprised at the outfit, Sawyer runs away and makes a push gesture to reject the outfit as Bunny happily chases her to force her to wear it. Awkwardly standing still, The Undertaker No. 2 sees old clothes scattered around several graves, asking Sawyer where she got the outfit from. Meanwhile at the Lagoon Company office, Benny greets Rock as the latter enters the door, asking him if he cleaned up the old pile of clothes. Rock says that Sawyer took care of it and Benny asks him about the details. Elaborating, Rock replies that there was an unfamiliar box in the Black Lagoon's hold which meant that someone broke into the boat to place it there, but it was only full of clothes and not explosives like he expected. Sweating a bit, Rock remarks that he feels sick.
Back at the cemetery, Sawyer has finally donned the frilled dress, and Bunny and her assistant both find her appearance cute. Grabbing Sawyer's shoulders, Bunny urges Sawyer to put on one of her ribbons, and No. 2 agrees. When Sawyer glares at No. 2, she gets scared and recommends that they should also change Bunny's clothes. Bunny happily reacts to her idea, and so No. 2 tries to fit different outfits on her. As she does so, No. 2 turns her head and slyly winks at Sawyer, who continues to sit in boredom on a nearby gravestone. Beneath the tombstone, something wriggles in the clothes, getting Sawyer's attention, but her curiosity is interrupted by No. 2 proudly presenting Bunny in her frilled dress with a ribbon.
Bunny asks the surprised Sawyer if she looks cute, and the former smiles and stands up, playing around with her dress. Watching the two women, No. 2 kneels on her feet and thinks to herself about her current fate since she was saved by Bunny. Remembering her confusion upon being given the job of a gravedigger, No. 2 proudly tells herself that such work is better than being a prostitute or mistress. Secretly complimenting Bunny's kindness and beauty, No. 2 proudly remarks that she will follow Bunny for the rest of her life. Going to Bunny, No. 2 brings another dress and tells Bunny to wear it, taking off Bunny's bunny mask in the process. Realizing what she has done, No. 2 covers her eyes as Bunny immediately glares at her, angrily asking if No. 2 saw her face.
No. 2 distressingly denies that she saw anything, but Bunny holds up her shovel and says that the former cannot live now that she has seen her face. Trying to dissuade Bunny's fury, No. 2 cries that they are family, but Bunny asks who she is. Terrified, No. 2 covers her head as Bunny swings her shovel, but Bunny charges past her and instead swings at a dress, asking the being who they are. The confused No. 2 turns around to see blood spill out from the dress as it falls to the ground. As Sawyer watches the whole affair several feet away, No. 2 fearfully asks if it was a ghost, but the being yelps and dashes out of the clothing, making Bunny comment that the being got away. To calm Bunny's tension, No. 2 politely puts Bunny's smiling mask back on her head.
At the Lagoon Company office, Revy smokes a cigarette and asks Rock about the pile of old clothes, which Rock confirms has been cleared up. When Revy tells him that some guy spotted a similar looking box, the surprised Rock asks where, also asking if it is related to the mansion massacre across the street the other day. Remembering it, Revy clarifies that it was a drug house where hitmen killed everyone there since they were business rivals. She then adds that one guy left the mansion before the murders and said that he saw a crate full of old clothes. Deducing the story, Rock thinks about a killer who is rumored to sneak in under old clothes and could have possibly been inside the Black Lagoon, but he remembers that he only saw clothes inside the crate. Crushing her cigarette pack, Revy angrily asks him where he was since she declares that it is dangerous to go inside the PT boat without permission, throwing her pack at Rock and telling him to look more carefully.
