Stone Ocean - Chapter 47
Summary
After defeating Lang Rangler, Weather asks Jolyne how they will get into the courtyard from the laundry room. He states that there is a revolving door and asks if they will simply go through it, or break it down with their Stands. Jolyne tells him they'll fool a guard into opening it by using Lang Rangler's entry pass. Jolyne approaches the door leading out and hears someone on the other side, Weather hiding behind a barrel as Jolyne knocks on the door. She scans the entry pass and shows the camera Lang Ranglers's helmet. A voice comes from the scanner and asks if this is Lang knocking.
The door opens slightly, Father Pucci on the other side. Believing he is talking to Lang Rangler, Pucci requests Jolyne to return to the chapel with him. When no reply is offered, Pucci turns around to see not Lang Rangler, but Jolyne. Jolyne recognizes his clothes as a priest's garb as he tries to set off the alarm. Jolyne convinces him not to, but Pucci asks why Jolyne used Lang Rangler's pass. Jolyne, unaware that Pucci is Whitesnake, responds that Lang Rangler had assaulted her, and she fought him out of self-defense. She requests he let her go to the courtyard for a minute before alerting the authorities. Pucci asks if Jolyne is alone, and she lies stating that she is. Believing that performing acts of kindness while expecting nothing in return can form a pathway to heaven, Pucci allows her to go.
In truth, Pucci realizes that someone is hiding behind the barrel, and had decided to let her pass so that her ally would not suspect him of being Whitesnake. Jolyne enters the courtyard, where she sees a lone man standing in the center. The man turns around, revealing himself to be a guard, and asks Jolyne if she is permitted to be in the courtyard. Before she can answer, the guard shoots Jolyne in the abdomen. It is revealed that there is a DISC inserted inside the back of his head.
