Roger that.

Simulation complete.

Simulation complete.

Maintenance crew chief.

Please report to booth number two after
your... Nice work.

It's been three months since we were
sent from the procurement section.

Guess you're getting a handle on working
here. No way!

You should try wearing that helmet gear
contraption once.

I did!

Well then?

I got queasy from feeling like I had
eyes on my back and stomach. I know!

Just keep using the interface system
we've been using. Because the new system

is ideal when it comes to operating a
laborer. When you're dealing with

underground, underwater, or outer space,
the bulbous oculi sensors just can't

keep up. What's that?

Human vision. The eyes.

Take bicycles. When they were first
invented, people went to school to learn

how to ride them. And how many years has
it been now since car racers were the

only drivers?

People learn to adapt to almost
anything.

But, hey!

Alright, alright.

If it'll make you feel better, let's go
to our special place.

It's hard to believe it's only been a
year since we stopped using them. Yeah,

time flies by, doesn't it? Now he's
nothing more than a testbed for data

collection and whatnot.

Want to take him out for a ride?

Get real.

Why not?

I don't know how to say this, but I
don't need to.

Come on, we need to hurry to beat the
rush at the cafeteria.

Yeah, you're right.

Chow time, here we come.

Sorry to bother you. No prob.

You get another five laps for that!

Max, get up there!

Yes, sir!

Ogura, damn it! Quit soiling the track
grounds with your filthy puke! Five more

laps for you, too!

May I ask a question, sir?

Go ahead.

Well, why operate the labor in manual
mode? As I understand it, if we use the

FCS and locked on target, the hit rate
would be 98%. And what if the FCS should

malfunction?

Huh? But police labors are always
supposed to operate in pairs.

And what if your partner's labor is
down?

But the chances of that happening are
like a million to one.

May I remind you our job is to prepare
for just that, you moron!

Give me 20 bucks now!

He sure gives the students a lot of
attention and works hard for them, I'll

give you that.

The problem is he's not a high school
coach trying to get his team a national

championship. Yelling about guts and
glory just ain't going to get through to

these modern day kids.

You were nice enough to come all the way
out here. Would you mind having a word

or two with him?

Maybe you could get through to him as
chief of general affairs at

headquarters.

Listen up.

Marksmanship is about fast reflexes and
concentration.

Put some guts into firing and you'll hit
your target. Ready the target.

All right.

Unbelievable.

See that?

I'm not done yet!

See? Don't let your guard down just
because your first shot hit the target.

Always follow through with a killing
blow. What in God's name are you doing,

Mr. Oda?

Our budget is tight as is without your
senseless trashing of equipment.

Dismount from that labor at once.

see the commander anywhere?

Hey, Cap, he's asking if you've seen Mr.
Gotoh around.

Huh?

What was that about Mr. Gotoh?

Yeah, he's looking for Mr.

Gotoh. I think I saw him heading toward
the back. Thank you, sir.

Mr. Yamazaki, have you seen the
commander about?

Well, I saw him taking out a fishing rod
from the shed.

So he's probably down at the wharf.

Commander?

Commander?

What is it? We just got word from our
acting chief that she'll probably be

delayed returning back to the station
house.

Did the conference run over, or was it
because of traffic?

Um, she didn't say, sir.

Okay.

What is it?

Um... It's time for our shift to end
now, so would it be all right for the

first unit to go on watch while we go
home?

Well, I suppose so, but Miss Nagumo
hasn't returned yet.

Yeah, so perhaps that's a bad idea?

Well, sure.

Go right ahead.

It's really okay?

Guess it's okay. After all, I'll still
be here.

Second unit reporting completion of
shift. We'll resume watch duty at 1,200

hours tomorrow, sir. Right. Good work,
then. If you'll excuse me. Thank you,

sir. Bye-bye.

Of course it's a bad idea.

However, with Osaka International
Airport's second expansion project and

other construction of numerous cities,
the dissemination of labors away from

the Tokyo area has accelerated, which in
turn has led to increasing criminal

activities involving labors in other
cities.

To meet this challenge, both the Osaka
and Kanagawa Police have recently set up

a labor force within their department.

Furthermore, Aichi, Miyagi, and Chiba
Prefectural Police are all considering

adding labor units to their traffic
mobile sections. Next we have...

Excuse me, Mr. Gumo.

I thought I'd see someone from our
group, but goodness, it's been a long

time. Oh, come on. Every time we ask,
you won't come out of that strip of

reclaimed land.

Heard you made inspector, and you're the
acting chief.

Weren't you listening? The SV-2 will be
reorganized this year. I'm just a stand

-in until then.

Still, a promotion's a promotion.

It's about time you got one.

Anyway, some of us Tsuge school alumni
are planning to have a small get

-together tonight.

Watabe and Tanaka from Technical R&D
will be there, and they ordered us to

accompany you.

I'm sorry, but I do have to bow out
tonight.

Oh, come on.

If this is about you and Mr. Tsuge, it's
been long enough, hasn't it? Hey.

I've lost track of how long it's been.

Three years since Mr. Tsuge went missing
following the PKO mission.

Um... So he really didn't try to contact
you at all? Enough.

Knock it off.

He sent me a letter. One letter, right
after he came back.

I'm sorry I can't make it. I'm afraid
that my unit has watch duty tonight.

Give my best to everyone.

Couldn't you have been a bit more
considerate?

It's the one smear on the reputation of
arguably the most talented career

policewoman.

Hello, FB2.

It's Nagumo, Mr. Shige. I'm on my way
now. How is it back there?

No dispatch calls.

It's been pretty quiet here.

So, is Mr. Goto around?

Yeah, I'll get him. It'll be just a
minute.

He's somebody that really should have
his own cell phone.

Never mind. I just got on the Yokohama
Highway, so I think I should be back

there in about 15 minutes.

I'm stuck already. You have my
condolences.

But don't feel rushed. We're doing fine.

Talk to you later.

This is the Kanagawa Prefecture Traffic
Police Mobile Unit.

A neighbor is about to go by your
vehicle.

Keep clear.

Do not open your car door or step
outside your vehicle.

To Roadrunner Unit on the Yokohama
Highway.

This is Inspector Nagumo of Tokyo's
SV-2. Come in.

This is Traffic Mobile 201.

Commander Nagumo, I presume?

Motohashi here. I was your student,
ma'am. Please excuse my intrusion, but

you have the bridge closed on both
sides.

Could I get a situation report?

A call came in about a parked car on the
Bay Bridge that's supposed to be loaded

with a bomb.

We've blocked all traffic through the
bridge and are en route to assess the

situation.

Roger. Thank you very much.

Over and out.

Today, at approximately 5.20 p.m., a
large explosion rocked the Yokohama Bay

Bridge, which is a part of the Baytown
Expressway, connecting Honmoku to the

Daikoku Pier.

Details including possible deaths are...
...I've been closed to all traffic

following the explosion on the Yokohama.
Traffic on the bridge was suspended due

to a bomb threat that was phoned in. The
police are investigating who the caller

was. And considering how this case might
relate to the latest theory... The

bombing suggests a deliberate and
large-scale terrorist attack. And even

now, the Metropolitan Expressway... This
is a well-coordinated, large-scale

terrorist attack.

Numerous eyewitnesses have claimed the
sound of a jet aircraft could be heard

when the explosion took place.

The police are trying to confirm this
testimony.

Was it a bomb or an aerial assault?

It's now 11 o'clock p.m., six hours
since the explosion, and the scene is

still dominated by confusion and
bewilderment.

We'll now show you some shocking footage
that was just brought to our SSN Tokyo

Bureau offices just moments ago.

Experts agree the aircraft captured on
video was most likely a modified variant

of the USS-16, the F-16J support
fighter, which has been serving the

JASDF since 1998.

Beginning with the two squadrons of the
3rd Air Wing Station in Musawa in Aomori

Prefecture, over 130 F-16Js are
operational within various JASDF units

in Japan.

The JASDF is currently rushing to verify
the exact location of every F-16J.

Regarding the JASDF and the Yokohama Bay
Bridge bombing, the Defense Agency has

issued a statement that the JASDF does
not have any aircraft that match the

aircraft in question.

Speculations circulate regarding the Bay
Bridge bombing incident.

Much attention has been focused on
whether or not the Self-Defense Force...

He has made it clear that it
categorically rejects any suggestion

that the Self-Defense Force was involved
in the Yokohama Bay Bridge bombardment.

It will create a special investigation
committee regarding the Yokohama Bay

Bridge incident and... Our regular
program has been changed as a result of

our continual news coverage regarding
this developing story.

So, an eyewitness at the scene
remembered the name of your company

written on the equipment you had at the
bridge.

That's strange.

We did have our crew shooting by the Bay
Bridge at the time of the bombing.

But we've already submitted that tape as
evidence to the authorities.

Are you really someone from the police
department?

I think it was something like 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, but this is

strange. So he didn't tell you which
police station he was from?

No. He looked just as authentic as you
do.

Did he leave any paperwork when he got
the evidence from you? Seems they did

the paperwork at my client's office.

All I got was a note from my client
telling me what to do.

Truth is, we're subcontractors at the
mercy of our clients.

Any copies lying around?

We can't even keep a decent inventory of
our masters.

Once we send the masters out to our
clients, we tape over what we have left.

So did you see any of the raw footage of
the F-16 jet plane for yourself? The

clip that's been broadcast?

More times than I'd care to, yes.

And the tape that was confiscated had
better resolution, didn't it? Of course.

We shot in high vision. It's nothing
like home video.

Was there anything on it you noticed?

It captured the moment the bridge was
hit, right?

Well, actually, more like the moment
just after impact.

Listen, didn't you go through the
footage yourself?

Of course I did, over and over again. I
did the editing myself.

But we were on deadline, and I was just
looking for images we could use.

So it wasn't like I was scanning the
screen looking for something that might

be there.

If I knew what I was looking for, it'd
be a different story.

Maybe there was something there in that
footage.

I see your point.

Yeah, that would make me concerned, too.

If you could, I'd appreciate it. Sorry
to trouble you.

Huh? Oh, come on. Like I told you, I'll
repay psychologically.

I'll talk to you later.

That was Mr. Matsui, wasn't it?

Uh, yeah.

He said to give you his best regards.
Mr. Goto?

Yes? I have no idea what you've started
up with Mr. Matsui this time. But please

let me know if you decide to make a
move.

No going around my back now, do you
understand?

Should I consider that an order from the
acting chief?

I don't like giving orders.

I'm asking you a favor, as a co-worker.

Well, if you're asking me for a favor,
then I can't turn you down. Excuse me?

Yeah? Um, sorry to interrupt.

There's someone here for the commander.

Well, there are two commanders here.
Which one?

I don't know.

Who's out there?

I don't know.

JGSDF Chief of Staff Independent Intel
Investigations? No address or phone

number listed on your card, Mr.

Arakawa. Certain inconveniences
prevented.

So, what can I do for you? Well, I have
something here that I'd like you to see

first.

I have it here.

Would you be kind enough?

Are you sure this is the right tape?
Yes, it is the right one. Hey, I think I

can sing this song. The important part
comes later on in the tape, but you can

sing along.

But we have no mics here.

Then let's skip ahead.

This is the part.

I went head over heels for you and cried
an ocean? No, the part after that. Oh,

as the rain drenched me. It's right
there.

Right where?

There in the upper right, just at the
edge of those clouds. Huh? Hmm?

I can't see anything either. Where is
it? Right here, this small shadow that

looks like a blackbird.

Mr. Gotoh, you probably know what this
is about.

The bomb hit the Bay Bridge immediately
after this.

Now, with that in mind, I'd like you to
watch another piece of footage that I've

brought.

This tape shows all the enhancements,
proving that nothing was doctored in the

process.

All this made possible by the power of
digital technology.

Can you tell?

I'm not an expert, but this shape looks
different from the footage they've been

showing on TV.

Yes, now that you mention it. How's
this?

On the left is the one you just saw.

On the right is the one the media has
been showing.

Take a closer look. The left one has the
latest stealth technology wing design.

And right here... That is a recently
developed vector nozzle.

And here is the most important part.

The Self-Defense Force doesn't have any
F-16s like this one in their inventory.

Now wait a minute. Before you go on,
tell us why you brought this to our

attention. To enlist your cooperation in
revealing the truth, of course. I wanted

to secure relationships on the ground
level with the police, just in case the

worst-case scenario becomes reality.

On our end, we'll provide you with the
intelligence that we've gathered. Could

you explain what you mean by the
worst-case scenario?

How about if we go out for a little
drive, just around this area?

I'm someone who finds comfort in a
moving car.

I seem to think clearer this way.

As I drive, I become motionless while
the world around me goes into motion.

And you don't have to worry about
eavesdropping when you're inside of a

moving car.

So, let's get down to business, shall
we? On the night the Bay Bridge was

bombed, a U.S. fighter undergoing
nighttime training at Miyake Island went

missing. And that was the aircraft
captured on tape? The U.S. military

admitted it and reported it to us.

Unofficially, of course.

As it so happens...

We have a direct channel with them, as
one military to another.

This might surprise you, but it's hardly
in their best interest to leave Japan's

defense in disarray by hiding the facts
from us.

Why would the U.S. military bomb the Bay
Bridge?

They didn't intend to bomb the bridge.

Frankly, both the U.S. military and most
likely the pilot that launched the

missile himself are both victims in this
incident.

Do you care to explain that to us?

We've been secretly tracking a certain
group of people for the last year or so.

Politicians with a close affinity to
military and defense issues, former

members of the Chiefs of Staff, elements
of the U.S. Armed Forces and arms

industry. It's a pretty loose coalition.

The group felt alarmed over how Japan
was unwilling to keep up with the arms

race in Asia that followed the Cold War.

So they came up with a staged military
spectacle to jolt Japan's political

status quo from its peace-loving stupor.

Remember the incident 26 years ago with
the defecting MiG-25?

It upset Japan's confidence in her air
defense system and made national defense

a major issue. This was to be a replay
of that.

A low-altitude approach aimed right at
the capital's front door, branding a

lock-on signal on its bright white door.

The mission turned out to be a
resounding success.

Except for the part about a real missile
actually being launched.

An accident?

Possibly. But until we can prove
otherwise, it's best to assume that

someone purposely made it happen.

As of yet, the F-16 in question still
hasn't returned to base.

So someone used this farce concocted by
some crackpots for their own purposes?

But what for?

Wait a minute. If you already know all
this, then why not go public to clear up

the allegations against the self-defense
force?

Doesn't the defense agency... Of course
the agency knows. The chiefs of staff

are pressing the government to go
public, but the cabinet's wavering. The

case for criminal involvement on the
part of a third party rests entirely on

speculation. There is no hard evidence.

If they go public on the line that this
was accidental, it could develop into a

huge scandal they won't be able to
handle. For now, they're following

standard operations procedure.

Press ahead with the investigation and
keep an eye on the situation. You know

the drill. They're complete idiots.

This is exactly what the perpetrator
wants.

If the brass keeps ignoring those on the
ground... They might just be making the

situation worse than it has to be. I
want to get the perpetrators before it

comes to that.

I trust you're willing to cooperate.

Mr. Arakawa, wasn't it? That was quite
an interesting story.

But everything you've just touched upon
is based on conjecture and speculation,

even with the footage you showed us.

You already proved yourself how anything
on videotape is unreliable as evidence.

Sorry, I don't think I can go along with
this gig.

Well, you certainly live up to your
reputation, Mr. Gotoh.

I was right in coming to you.

So... Let's assume that both of the
videotapes were falsified.

That doesn't change the fact that the
bay bridge was blown up.

Am I right?

There's a file under the passenger seat.

Yukihito Tsuge.

One of the founding members of the group
I just mentioned.

His current whereabouts are unknown.

We're doing everything we can to find
him. He's our prime suspect.

Since you work with labors, I imagine
that you've heard his name before.

Tracking people down like this isn't our
first line of expertise. And since it's

a delicate affair, we can't bring the
police in. In case you hadn't noticed,

we're cops too, you know. They say
you're armed with powerful connections

to numerous people.

Plus there's SV2's extra legal
operations.

Or perhaps I should say accomplishments.

Word's gotten around.

Those are baseless rumors.

We're ordinary public servants, no
different from you.

Excuse me.

Yes?

What?

Hey! You do realize you have two
active-duty police officers here?

Our man made his move sooner than we
thought.

Three F-16Js with bomb munitions took
off from Busawa and are headed south.

They'll enter Tokyo airspace in about 20
minutes.

Verification complete.

Three F-16Js from Northern Air Defense
Force.

Third air wing, eighth squadron. Call
sign, Wyvern. No response to our hails.

Location, Hotel 2, Kilo 1, heading 190.

Altitude 32,000. Speed 720, not
continuing south.

Any word from Misawa? Have you gotten
through to them? No response from any

wing units, including the Northern SOC.

Call the base commander on the direct
line, and keep trying until you get

through.

Could it be that Misawa is ridiculous?

It can't be. That's impossible.

Interceptors inbound for rendezvous.
Wizard 03 from Hyakuri's 204th and

Priest 21 from Kamatsu's 303rd.
Estimated intercept Wizard next 04,

Priest next 10.

Trevor, this is Wizard 03.

Now maintaining Angel 32.

Wizard 03, this is Trevor. You are now
under my control.

Steer 0-4-0 and maintain present angel.

Roger.

Wyvern is still heading south.

No response to our hail.

Shifting pursuit watch from SS-37 to
SS-27.

Wizards adjusted ETI next 0-5.

Wizard 0-3, target position 0-3-0. Range
9-0.

Altitude 3-2.

Director. What if Wyvern doesn't respond
to our hail after intercept?

Northern SOC is now online.

This is Central SOC. What exactly is
going on here? Call back the FS heading

south immediately.

Your planes aren't airborne?

Misawa Control hasn't overseen any FS
taking off.

We're trying to reach the A Squadron to
verify all their aircraft, but we can't

get through. All our phone lines have
gone haywire.

Verify the location of all Northern Air
Defense aircraft.

This is priority one.

Roger. Director.

The SIF codes are changing just as
scheduled. That rules out data

manipulation from outside.

System error? The self-diagnostic
programs are continuously running. The

alarms would go off if any errors came
up.

Wizard, come in. Have you made contact
yet?

Target dead ahead 25, Wizard 03.

Verify contact.

Negative contact.

Request target altitude.

What's their ETA into metropolitan
airspace?

About ten more minutes, sir.

Alert first air defense missile group at
Iruma and ready the system for

intercept. And then, get me the defense
chief on the hotline.

Trevor, Wizard 0-3. Negative contact.

Okey-doke.

Target dead ahead 1-5, heading 1-9-0,
altitude 3-2, speed Mach 1.2. Wizard,

reduce speed.

No joy.

Negative contact.

I say again, no joy.

Request target position.

It's too dangerous. They should
disengage and make another approach.

There's not enough time. If the bogeys
were to change heading, then Priest may

not be able to intercept them in time.

Caution. Almost same position.

Same altitude.

Use caution. Wizard, caution.

Wizard, break.

Wizard.

They held out.

Wizard's been downed?

Impossible. Target changing heading.

New heading is 210.

Reducing altitude while increasing
speed.

Freaks intercept imminent.

Range 20 miles.

They're headed right for us.

They must be the ones who called in.
These guys are nuts.

This isn't the Bay Bridge all over
again.

Give me a break.

Put everyone in a holding pattern except
for any aircraft on final approach. Keep

an eye on their altitudes.

Redirect all international flights to
Osaka.

Due to unstable weather conditions
currently in the skies above, all

flights have been temporarily placed on
hold. We apologize for any

inconvenience.

Have them cleared to open fire. But,
sir... Take them down before they enter

a densely populated area.

Three, two, one.

This is Trevor. You are cleared to fire.
Kill Wyvern. Trevor, say again?

I say again.

Kill Wyvern.

Delay last order. Priest.

Wizard. Wizard 03, this is Trevor.
Report status.

Trevor, this is Wizard.

We had heavy jamming. Lost current
position.

Request further instruction.

I say again, request orders.

Wizard 03 verified.

No bogey aircraft surrounding airspace.

Instruct Priest to abort the attack.

Aborting attack.

FI requesting instructions.

Stand down alert. Recall Preet. Recall
Wizard back to base as well.

The JASDF's badge system was originally
designed to be a closed system in lieu

of its nature, but with politics and the
Japan-U.S. security treaty and whatnot,

as it stands now, it's been linked to
the United States bases here in Japan.

Are you even listening to me? And the
price for this setup resulted in the

mess they had with the Scramble mission,
right? Someone accessed a German firm's

gateway, then went through a U.S.
college computer network to get into U

.S. forces' Japan servers, then gained
access to Fuchu CoC's mainframe to stage

the illusionary aerial attack on Tokyo.

That's how they pulled it off.

Sure, that's theoretically plausible,
but could anybody actually pull it off?

The current badge system was revamped in
1991.

But they just rewrote the software last
year to improve processing speed.

It's possible they had a mole working on
the inside when they developed the new

software. Yet again, the truth is
withheld from the public, huh?

Neither the government nor the defense
agency wants to admit publicly that the

badge system was hacked from outside, so
the people in the field are left holding

the bag. And if new developments were to
arise before the truth is revealed...

That's exactly what happened.

So is there anything else on Tsuge?

Familiar with the Tsuge School?

I have a general idea.

The Multipurpose Ambulatory Mechanism
Application Research Committee, right?

They were the first to notice the
military potential for labors, and they

conducted various simulations to prove
their worth.

They made major contributions toward
bridging the Self-Defense Force's

Technical R&D Institute and the private
sector together.

The group came to be known by the name
of its top member.

The Tsuge school.

When word came that a labor unit was to
be dispatched on a PKO mission, he

volunteered.

Maybe he wanted to put his theories to
the test.

Of all people, he knew exactly what it
would mean to send a mechanized unit

without sufficient backup into the
terrain of a hot and humid tropical

rainforest.

The worst environment possible for a
labor.

But he went along nonetheless.

I wonder why.

But before that...

Prior to establishing a Tokyo Metro
police labor force, an officer was sent

from your HQ to the Tsuge school for
training and briefing.

She became one of the brightest stars of
the Tsuge school,

and the greatest partner for Tsuge
himself.

But there was a slight mishap. None of
it got recorded, of course.

Despite rank or position, he was a man
and she was a woman.

Stuff happens.

If it hadn't been for the fact that
Tsuge was married, none of that would

have mattered.

You did some investigating?

Everyone at HQ back then heard about it.
Even a guy like me.

I don't go digging up skeletons in my
colleague's closet.

Right.

Colleague. I'll just leave it at that.

The police force tends to be touchy
about things like that.

She was on the career fast track rising
up the ranks of the Security Bureau, but

instead got exiled to a strip of
reclaimed land.

Could that be why?

Who knows?

Commander!

I have to say, your unit's uniforms
stick out like a sore thumb.

Not the best for us middle-aged guys.

You're lucky you get to wear street
clothes.

Actually, this outfit has its own set of
challenges.

Just plain clothes alone aren't enough.

We have to dress down, but also be
careful not to be mistaken for the

enemy, and yet at the same time blend
in. It's a quality that's especially

important in my line of work.

I see.

Catch you later.

Say, do you have any ideas to what
Tsuge's ultimate goal is in all of this?

What do you think he's trying to do,
start a war or something?

Start a war?

The war has already been going on.

The important thing is how to bring it
to an end.

That's the problem.

Mr. Gotoh.

As police officers, as self-defense
force officers, have you ever thought

about what it is exactly that we are
supposed to be safeguarding?

It's been 50 years since the last war.

And both of us have lived our lives
without being touched by war.

Peace.

This peace that we're supposed to be
protecting.

What do we actually mean by peace in
this country and in this city?

The total war we fought and loss we
suffered at its hands.

The U.S. military's occupation and their
policies.

And until recently, the Cold War
involving nuclear deterrence and proxy

wars around the globe.

Even today, half the world is engaged in
civil war, ethnic clashes, armed

conflicts.

These countless wars are what made up
and sustained our economic prosperity.

It's bloodstained.

That's the true nature of our peace.

It's an unscrupulous peace based on fear
of war.

An unjust peace where we look away from
foreign wars, in which others pay the

price for our peace.

It may be a peace that reeks of
gunpowder, but it's still our job to

protect it.

I'd much more settle for an unjust peace
over a just war.

I can understand that you would loathe
just wars.

Proponents of just wars have mostly been
scoundrels.

History is filled to the brim with
people who were taken in by them and

then taken advantage of.

But you also know this.

The line that separates a just war from
an unjust peace isn't a very clear one.

Ever since hypocrites have made peace
their just cause, we have lost faith in

that peace.

Just as war brings about peace, peace
brings about war.

A peace that is empty and lacks
substance will eventually be filled in

by an actual state of war.

Has that thought ever crossed your mind?

We reap the benefits of war, but
distance ourselves from it with a

television screen, forgetting that we're
still in the same battleground.

No.

We only pretend to forget.

Such denial invites great punishment in
the end.

Punishment?

Who's going to punish us?

God?

In this city?

Everyone is like a god.

You don't have to move an inch to see
images far removed, or to touch things

that aren't there and access other
realities that are there.

It's just that these gods don't do
anything.

If the gods won't do it, then the people
will.

Sooner or later we'll find out.

That is, if we can't catch up to him in
time.

I'm well aware of that, sir.

Yes.

But it does not have to mean that.

But, Director!

And that is exactly why we must prepare
all we can should a worst-case scenario

become real.

The Superintendent General is strongly
urging this as well.

I repeat my orders again.

Tomorrow at 0700 hours, SV-2 is to
conduct security detail at Camp Narema,

along with the 4th Mobile Unit and other
local forces. That is all.

Are you planning on going?

Miss Shinobu? You already know that all
Misawa Air Base squadrons have been

grounded, right?

Well, about 30 minutes ago, the base
commander there was taken into custody

by the Aomori police for questioning. He
was on his way to Tokyo to protest the

grounding. They took him in at the gates
of their base.

That prefectural police chief was famous
for brown-nosing the superintendent

general since his security bureau days.

But man, they're really pushing it now.

Those flyboys aren't going to keep quiet
with something like that at their front

door. Misawa Air Base just cut off all
contact with the outside and closed

themselves in.

And where were you loitering about when
all this was coming down?

You may have only been on standby duty,
but that's no excuse for going AWOL,

then asking for a pickup by the
speedboat.

I suppose your promise to never go
behind my back meant nothing to you

whatsoever, did it?

I'm sorry.

Very sorry.

But would you have given me permission
to meet with Arakawa had I asked you?

No, of course not.

Meeting with a man like him. If word got
out that a police officer from the

security bureau was having secret
meetings with an SDF intelligence

officer at times like this...

But it's important to have contacts at
times like this. Excuse me? Look, just

think about it. What are we supposed to
do?

Everybody is compelled to act in times
like this and try to do something

constructive in relation to their
position.

That's exactly the kind of thinking that
made this situation worse.

Wouldn't you agree with that?

But we still need to be prepared for an
improbable but possible worst-case

scenario.

And just what exactly is that scenario?

Something no one takes seriously, yet
the possibility can't be denied,

starting with the Bay Bridge incident.

The recent scramble is another good
example.

I hear the Air Defense Command at Fuchu
even ordered those planes to be shot

down. That sly old fox of ours wants to
score some points in this mess and

expand the Security Bureau's powers.

Imagine what would happen if the police
were to direct their guard against the

SDF at a time like this.

If Tuga is behind all of this...

Then he's one hell of a strategist.

He's brought all of this about with the
launch of just one missile.

And the situation hasn't stabilized yet.

Come on, let's call off the security
detail tomorrow.

I know, I don't want to go either.

But this was a direct order from the
security bureau director.

Well, I can tell you my unit isn't going
to be there. You realize, as acting

chief, I could order you to go. Well,
why don't you try it then?

Fine. From here on out, the first unit
will operate independently.

I'll move into the chief's office as of
now.

But, um, Ms. Shinobu... I'll collect the
rest of my belongings later.

Excuse me. Come on. I don't care what
you do. I'm not going. And that's that.

You hear me?

Um, Ms. Shinobu?

I've, uh, changed my mind.

Yeah, just now.

We're in the skies above JGSTF's camp in
Narema Ward.

The Misawa Air Base has begun a sit-in
protest, and numerous Self-Defense Force

installations are joining too.

Even the 1st Division in our nation's
capital are engaged in a standoff with

the Tokyo PD's 4th Mobile Unit on the
Special Vehicles Section 2. Both units

assigned to the base for security.

Characterizing this action is
grandstanding on the part of the TMPD

Security Bureau.

Some even within the government are
questioning the legality of this action.

Hey.

I hear you're unwilling to activate your
unit's labors. What's that about?

Sir? Your labors. Why are they lying
down on their backs? Explain yourself.

Oh, that?

They're inoperable, sir.

Inoperable? You mean the SV-2 drags out
inoperable labors when called out?

Don't lie to me.

It's the truth, sir. Fine. Then at least
raise the carrier decks so they can

stand upright.

Sorry to interject, sir, but in the off
chance they should fall due to

mechanical breakdown, we would embarrass
the good name of the Security Bureau for

the entire nation to see on the news. Do
you still insist, sir? This is a blatant

act of insubordination against field
command orders. The Bureau Director's

gonna hear about this.

Goto speaking.

It's me. I'm watching you on TV.

Tough being a servant to the whims of
your masters.

The top dog got excited and won't back
down after his underling jumped the gun.

It's tough being subordinate to an idiot
boss.

It's the same with me.

Like they say, there's no such thing as
a bad military.

Only bad commanders.

The chiefs of staff are resigning to
take responsibility for the sit-in

protests taking place all over the
country.

Are you sure?

Just came down 30 minutes ago. It'll be
broadcast any minute now.

With this behind him, the brass wants to
go public with the Bay Bridge incident.

But it's too late, now that relations
have gotten so sour.

If the U.S. military denies it, that's
it.

Not only have they missed the
opportunity to go public, but now

they've lost the means to bring this
under control.

Another level of self-restraint broken.

Hey, are you listening to this?

Yeah, sure, I'm listening, though I'd
rather not.

Oh, but you will.

I'm just about to get to business here.

Ignoring their responsibility in the
mess, the government is blaming the

police for making the situation worse.

Apparently, they've lost faith in them.

So, they've decided to replace the lead
in the play, but keep the script intact.

No, they're not about to... Yes, they
are.

Now the stage will be full of miscast
actors and no one wants to play the

parts they've been given.

Doesn't that sound wonderful?

That's what we get for civilian control.

I wonder, maybe Tsuge wants to test us
to find out how we'd fight a war in

circumstances similar to the one three
years ago, where he lost all his men.

This is an emergency broadcast bulletin
for the citizens of Tokyo and for all of

the neighboring prefectures. We ask
those of you watching at this time to

please contact as many people as
possible so they too will be able to

hear this emergency broadcast.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Ishikawa has
announced that mobilization orders have

been issued to JGFDF units considered
highly trustworthy to take on the role

of maintaining the peace.

The units will guard against the
unlikely but possible worst-case

scenario currently foreseeable.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Ishikawa has
released the following official

statement regarding this deployment.

After careful consideration of recent
events involving the Self-Defense Force,

It has been deemed that the local police
force alone would not be sufficient

should a worst-case scenario become a
reality.

As part of the decision, the following
units have been mobilized. J.G.S.D.S.

Eastern Army.

Sit down.

But Chief, how can one... I said sit
down.

32nd Infantry Regiment.

1st Artillery Regiment. And 1st Armored
Battalion.

Fuji School Brigade's Artillery Training
Group.

Armored Training Group.

Hello? This is the shopping unit. It's
me. Listen carefully.

You guys are now the official hoarding
unit. Your mission is to buy as much

food from that store as possible.

Reinforcements are on the way.

Yes, sir. We will now commence hoarding
the food, sir.

Go!

Mr. Buchiyama. You absolute moron. What
the hell are you doing wasting time out

here? We're not going to a damn picnic.
Put some thought into getting some food

that'll keep.

Go back to the storage rooms. Buy ramen
by the boxes. Got it?

You lady. The SV2 maintenance crew just
bought up all of your extra food stock,

okay?

the Type 90s and the Komatsu Type 2s as
well.

We've maneuvered Segoro 202 complete.

Segoro 4 and 5, 2-2-0, 8-0, come in.
Over.

Hello, Mr. Gotoh?

Oh, Mr. Matsui. How are you?

Ah, you know, things could be better, I
suppose, but I guess I'm doing all

right. How's everything on your end?

It's pretty quiet right now, but if
Tsuge's people got mixed in with the

units stationed inside Tokyo, then
pretty much anything could happen at any

time. Where are you?

Out in the suburbs of Fusa.

I'm staking out a blimp company called
Shinteito Air.

Blimps? What's that about?

It came up...

When I was going through Toa Security
Services, the company in the dossier

Arakawa listed as one of their fronts.

They bought out Shinteito when it was on
the verge of bankruptcy. They

camouflaged the purchase, but they sent
in their own managers.

Six months ago, they bought three
American blimps.

Haven't you seen them flying around
Tokyo?

It got me wondering.

Ah, those blimps. How'd you find all
this out?

Like any crime, there's always a trail
of money or women. I'm not very good

with women, so I followed the money
instead.

The big boys at the top got scared with
Tsuge going all out, so they shut down

shop. But you can't erase bank records
and tax files that easily.

How the hell did you access that stuff?

Secrets of the trade, I guess you could
say. I'm pretty sure the military folks

couldn't pull it off.

Ah, here we go. Couple of strange folks
brandishing some nasty looking stuff.

Right out in the open?

That's pretty bold.

Oh, I also found out about a week before
the Bay Bridge bombing, this company did

some serious shopping.

I don't know what, but they bought three
of something and wired a huge wad of

money for it.

The magic number three again.

Maybe they bought some nuclear missiles.

Maybe. It's close to Yokota, so they
could bypass customs and come in through

the U.S. military base.

Sounds like this calls for some close-up
investigating.

You're not suggesting I go in?

Destruction of property, trespassing on
private property, and most likely theft,

and possibly even inflicting injury.

Cops are not supposed to be doing crap
like this.

This guy looks like a complete amateur.

Petty thief?

No, wait.

I think I've seen him before.

Yeah? Yeah.

It's that detective from the CIB who's
close to Gotoh.

That SV-2 commander.

She would take him out.

Orders are to avoid taking lives unless
absolutely necessary.

Just knock him over and lock him up.

He's not going to do much at this point
anyway.

Do it.

Is that for me?

Yes, dear.

Something to do with needing to speak to
you tonight.

When your office was contacted, you'd
already... I understand.

Thank you.

What about dinner, dear?

I'm only here to pick up some papers and
some clean clothes. I need to head back

right away.

Hello, this is Nagumo you sound well

Hold your fire. We won't hit anything in
the dark.

Contact the group above and tell them to
start the chase. And turn off these

lights.

The trail of the women.

So how did you find out?

People inform the police.

Not out of malice, but out of goodwill.
Parents will do almost anything for the

sake of their children.

She got in contact with you?

Frankly, I'm not good with respectable
ladies like her.

You'd be surprised how well some people
are regarded by others.

Where is the telephone?

Hailing helicopter formation ahead.

No request for deployment of the
mission.

State your name and unit. Do you copy?

Gong Zero call units.

It's H-hour. Commence situation.

Roger that.

Commencing situation.

Hey, what was that?

What situation?

Trust I needn't explain why I've called
the senior department heads for an

emergency meeting at this hour.

We need to discuss how to carry out our
security bureau duties, given the

current circumstances.

Due to the gravity of the present
situation, I have asked Superintendent

General Kaiho to join us.

But first... Early this morning, the
Kanagawa Police Department's Traffic

Police Labor Unit was deployed by orders
issued by the acting chief of the SV-2.

Inspector Nagumo, care to explain?

Before answering your question, sir,
there's something I'd like to say.

We are not asking for your opinion. Let
me remind you that this deployment order

was issued without my authorization.

It's a clear case of insubordination
against my authority.

Your thoughtless actions caused a
disruption within the force that could

have led to needless public confusion.

Then wasn't it also equally thoughtless
to mobilize against SDF installations

without credible rationale?

Not to mention unjustly taking custody
of the base commander, which in essence

was a preventative arrest.

These circumstances are directly tied to
a faction of police leadership that

haphazardly attempted to forward their
agenda by taking advantage of social

unrest brought about by recent events.

Everyone present in this room must be
well aware of this.

How dare you! Naonagumo.

I am not about to ignore an accusation
of a political conspiracy at work within

the police force. Tell me who exactly
comprised this faction within the police

you refer to.

I trust that you already know the answer
yourself.

Please excuse me. Come back! Just let
him go.

Mr. Goto!

Yeah, I got nailed.

But more importantly, all three of them
took off about 15 minutes ago.

Yeah. All right.

I've got it.

Under the guise of maintaining order,
the police mobilize needlessly, thereby

fanning their fears.

Now, who will take responsibility for
the situation deteriorating so severely?

You can preach about order within the
ranks, but this must be resolved first.

I trust you're aware that the ranks of
the Defense Agency is full of former

police force members.

This matter has already moved into the
political arena.

We should do our best not to provoke
them any further, but instead cooperate

with them to enable a withdrawal of
their forces as soon as possible.

the situation worsen, or in the unlikely
but remote chance a state of civil war

should break out, the U.S. military
could become involved.

We must remember that the police are
entrusted to maintain the peace, and

that any admission involved on our
behalf could bring about more social

unrest. You still insist on clinging to
such excuses at a time like this? And

you call yourselves police officers?

I've been lenient with you, as you were
instrumental in making our labor force

what it is today, but I cannot allow
such defiance.

Inspector Nagumo, you are hereby
relieved of your duty as chief and as

the commander of the first unit. You
will be held in custody until further

notice.

Get your hands off me!

Well, Goto, what do you think?

The farther away from the slaughter, the
more optimism replaces reality.

And the so-called reality is often
non-existent at the very highest levels

of decision-making. This is especially
true when you're losing a war.

What are you talking about?

No wars have broken out yet.

No, it broke out long ago. We're too
late in figuring it out.

Even long before Tsuge came back.

Now far before that, the war's been
raging on for many years already.

Please excuse me.

But I am completely fed up with all of
you. I, too, will be accompanying

Inspector Nagumo.

Now, Goto, I was under the impression
that you were a smarter man than that.

Take both of them away, now!

Sir, SDF attack helicopters are bombing
the Tokyo Bay crossing bridge!

I told you, it's already too damn late!

Transmission circuits all over Tokyo are
going down.

Reroute all international calls and
patch them through to Makuhari.

Watch the damage assessment. The cables
within the city are going down one after

another. Minato, Chuo, Shinjuku, Bunkyo,
Setagaya. All these lines are dead.

on resigning, weren't you?

You can't back down now, even though we
weren't able to stop him before he took

action. This match isn't over yet.

What are we going to do now? We can't go
back to the SV2. The SV2 has probably

been decimated, but we still have our
forces.

Forces that we can depend on.

Kigitsu to Ojiro.

22606. Over.

Second platoon to headquarters.

Come in. Unit 2, come in. Unit 2, can
you read me? Unit 3, please respond.

Calling headquarters of the 201st. Guard
unit here. Headquarters, do you read me?

Onaga to Komome.

Verifying airship over Tokyo.

Most likely civilian.

Over. Onaga to Komome.

If they dig down, they'll find bugs to
eat. They can ride out the cold inside

the greenhouses, right?

Yeah. I'm sure they'll be fine. Being
raised at the SV-2 makes you pretty

tough.

Um, Mr. Shigek, where are all of the
maintenance people headed out to with

that thing loaded up on the carrier?

Huh? Mr. Gotoh and I had a little plan
just in case something like this were to

happen. Sorry we had to keep you in the
dark.

I need you to take care of the bills for
the food and propane gas deliveries.

Take care of this place while we're
gone.

Go ahead and turn it off.

Listening to it won't do any good
anyway.

I didn't think anyone would even be
trying at this point.

I'm amazed.

That's the work of electronic jamming.
The way we only hear fragments at a time

is the kicker. Even though you know it's
pointless, you can't help but listen to

it.

So, what's the story?

Well, there are certain qualms within
the ranks of the SDF.

But seriously, do you think any group
within the SDF would really contemplate

committing mutiny in this country at
this time? I mean, even after all this

action, major installations haven't been
occupied and no political demands have

been made. What kind of a coup d'etat is
that supposed to be?

The reason no political demands have
been made is because there were none to

begin with.

Interrupting the flow of information and
creating confusion isn't their M.O. That

was their entire goal in a nutshell.

This is nothing more than a terrorist
act disguised as a coup d'etat, an act

of conviction guided by a specific
philosophy.

Creating conditions like that in
wartime, or staging a warlike situation

with the Capitol as its backdrop, that's
the Predator's one and only aim. The

best way to bring this situation to a
complete end is to go out there and

arrest the perpetrator.

I can't understand for the life of me is
why.

I have my suspicions, but it would be
best to catch him and ask him directly.

Well, I gotta go.

Please take care of things for me.

Wrong way. That's the back door.

Don't forget, I'm a wanted man.

Sir, I know I don't have to say this,
but please remember... I know. There are

to be no orders of coercing the young
kids, right?

I got it.

Bye now.

Ms. Nagumo, there's no sense in mulling
over what you could have done.

Instead of that, let's think about what
it is we can do next.

Old Cap!

And there's my man now.

Old man.

Sir. Old Cap.

Sir.

All right!

You men know what you have to do! Yes,
sir!

Apparently the SV-2's been decimated,
but we're still standing strong.

It's time we got some payback from those
bastards.

Get as many people as you can over to
Hachioji. If any of them start whining,

then rope them up and drag them out if
you have to.

Darling, go!

It'll be all over if you go!

You finally made it to Section Chief!

Why do you have to go?

I'm sorry, but it's what I have to do,
or I'll lose something more important

than work.

Well, everyone's waiting for me, so...
But there's another!

Huh? It's true.

There's another baby inside of me.

Oh, come on! How long are you going to
drag this out already? We don't have

much time.

Well, then...

I can't wait to get rid of that bastard.
He tried to rally the cadets and march

on Tokyo.

Seriously, I don't know what to do with
this guy when he's like this.

So, how many joined up with him? Do you
think any of the kids these days could

be rallied to a cause that oath brings
up?

All right, Ota, time to go.

Hey there, Ota-chan.

Hey, man, how you doing?

What's wrong?

We can still go back, you know. This
isn't an official mission.

If we go, you'll probably get thrown out
of the force.

They may even strip you of your labor
operator license.

You still want to go?

Sounds like you're the one who's unsure
about this.

Come on, who wouldn't be?

I don't want to be some young girl
wrapped up with operating labors and

only that.

I love labors, but I don't want to rely
on just that.

Please, let's go.

I knew it. It's unmanned.

It's just flying around in circles on
autopilot.

Let's take care of this before the JGSDF
choppers get here. Don't miss.

How can I miss with a target like that?

The birds are in the way. Who cares
about the birds?

Just shoot it.

It's losing altitude fast.

Where the hell did you shoot that thing?

Give me a break.

I didn't hit anything but the pod!

Don't evacuate units that aren't
equipped with masks.

Move them up as high as possible.

Don't just stand there, damn it. Those
with masks are to direct a public

evacuation.

The gas was colored, but completely
innocuous. It couldn't have hurt a fly,

but it was effective.

Had it been lethal, God only knows.

Then maybe they're bluffing. They found
canisters full of the real thing inside

of the blimp. I don't know if they
really intended to use it or not, but...

The higher-ups certainly don't have the
balls to find out if they mean business.

There had to be a reason why they had
such huge things floating around. But I

guess now we know. The blimp's double as
a way to take thousands of people

hostage. That's some smart thinking.

That puts us at a standstill.

Unfortunately, we can't leave it that
way. Take a look at these images.

Aerial photos of the reclaimed areas?

Reclaimed Island 18. The second photo is
a close-up.

Hmm? That wreckage is the remains of a
chopper that was blown up.

And next to that is a parabolic antenna.

The experts say it's a powerful field
communication system.

Appears to be enemy headquarters.

This thing controlled the blimp? Sure,
why else would they have it? They

couldn't blanket an area as big as this
with just a jamming signal. We might be

able to disengage that powerful ECM
signal if we can somehow send out a

compressed encrypted code sequence
through specific preset frequencies.

Nothing more ridiculous than a weapon
system that can't be controlled

remotely.

But what about the frequency and the
code? We'll get Tsuge to tell us.

There's no doubt that he's there.

I don't see why we don't just hit the
place with a missile. What if there's a

continuous communication link between
that thing and the blimps, and the

disruption sets off some kind of program
within the airships? That's how I'd set

it up. Can you get who took that
photograph?

U.S. military?

The U.S. military's been scrutinizing
this thing from the very beginning.

An hour ago, a communique came in from
the U.S. embassy.

The U.S. military will directly
intervene unless this situation can be

resolved by 700 hours tomorrow morning.

The U.S.'s 7th Fleet is heading west at
full speed, and all the U.S. bases

across Japan have begun to mobilize.

They're not that reckless.

Oh, yes, they are.

Nations have no real friends.

You can see how this provides for a very
tempting opportunity, right?

This country is going to start all over
again from the end of World War II.

Once you're done with swapping out the
electrical systems, we need to start

installing the OS.

We can't redo this once you add the
armor. Got it?

Labor three, roll it out.

I'm impressed with how it's going.

Well, most of these guys learn their
trade by working out these babies.

At this pace, we might make it in time.

The operation calls for a surprise
attack on their command center at island

number 18, so we can't approach them
from the air or sea.

Instead, we'll use the underground
passageways that were used to transport

labors during the second phase of the
Babylon Project.

Next step, please. Yes, ma'am.

The distance between Shiodome and our
destination via an artificial island is

1,200 meters.

The problem is this last stretch here.

It's a typical caisson-constructed
undersea tunnel with a total length of

250 meters.

From the island, it descends to a depth
of 50 meters below the ocean via an

incline elevator.

It then passes through a tunnel 9 meters
tall and about 200 meters long.

Finally, it takes you to the elevator
that goes up to the surface of the

reclaimed area.

That's the perfect spot for an ambush.

Well, we do have to assume that the
enemy is also aware of this tunnel.

Question, how are we going to get to the
entrance of the tunnel?

Tokyo is full of units, none of which we
can be sure whose side they're on.

Commander Gotoh's working on the
details.

Huh? Commander Gotoh?

Damn it, I want something with real
firepower, like a

machine gun or a Gatling gun!

Look, a slug shot from a rifle can be
just as effective against softer targets

like military labors and armored cars.
The point is, you gotta hit them.

Close one eye and aim carefully. That's
all. Then you'll nail it. Well, I gotta

get going.

But what if a big tank's coming at me?
Then what?

Then close your other eye as well.

Whoa! Okay!

Hold it right there!

What are you doing here? What are you
working on?

We figured the disc Mr. Matsui got might
contain some kind of encrypted code book

within it. A code book? Here we go!

I never realized there was a place like
this under Tokyo.

It's a leftover dream from the boom days
of shoreline development.

It was shut down in 1943.

Ginza's Phantom Shinbashi Station was
dormant for over 50 years, then

reconnected to the Bayside Construction
Zone, the junction between the old and

new. But I hear they never used it.

I'd be willing to bet there are a lot of
places just like this all over the city.

Places abandoned and forgotten by all,
huh?

Here they come.

D-Train and fall in.

I'm happy to see you all came.

Shinohara.

Izumi.

Shinji.

Ota, and Yamazaki.

Your mission is as follows. Together
with Commander Nagumo, you are to arrest

the central figure in this affair who
was holed up on Reclaimed Island 18.

From now on, you'll be taking orders
from Commander Nagumo.

Meet any and all resistance with force
and neutralize them. This will be the

final mission of the SV-2 second unit.
Now go give them hell.

We will proceed immediately.

All aboard.

Shinobu, I won't accept you going down
with him, understood?

Just make the arrest and then come back
to us.

I will be waiting for you.

Proceed.

Why aren't you going along with them? I
would, but there's still a lot of things

that I need to take care of. I know it's
awkward considering the help you've

provided, but I'm gonna have to arrest
you.

Everyone freeze!

Shigeki Arakawa, you're under arrest for
violating the Subversive Activities Law

and others.

You better have an explanation.

The information you provided regarding
what happened with all the recent

incidents was astonishingly timely and
accurate. Of course it was.

You yourself were a member of the
organization that you were

investigating. You were one of Tsuge's
comrades, but you were betrayed.

When Tsuge revamped the plans from a
demonstrative political appeal to an all

-out plan to start a war, and then
disappeared, you were left hanging out

in the cold.

Because of the nature of the conspiracy,
you couldn't start a public

investigation. That's why the SV-2
caught your attention. You used us while

keeping an eye on Inspector Nagumo.

But that's all pure conjecture.

On the night before the final attack,
you let Tsuge go.

Even if it didn't hit Tsuge, one shot
would have the place crawling with the

peacekeeping units. The waterway was
narrow.

The chances of arresting him were pretty
high.

But you didn't go for it. Why?

Because you were the one that needed to
get custody of him. You had to stop

Tsuge from going ahead with his plans.

But if your entire organization's scope
was divulged by Tsuge, you'd be at a

loss. And another thing... Even now, you
still haven't called in the regulars.

Your motive for relying on a black sheep
unit like us is obvious.

That's not something an upright public
servant would do.

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle
black?

Public servants that aren't upright fall
into two categories.

Those that are evildoers, and those that
are superheroes.

Arakawa, I must say I enjoyed the
conversations we had.

The part about a fraudulent peace versus
a truthful war. But even if the peace

that we enjoy right here in this city is
a false one, then the war that Tsuge

created itself is just an illusion as
well. This city, it's just too small for

a real war.

War is always a surreal experience.

There has never been a time in history
when a war wasn't surreal.

Hey, the reason that I'm here is because
I am a police officer, but why aren't

you by Tsuge's side?

Let's go.

I knew they'd be here.

Those are tactical robots developed by
the US Army called the Ixtel. They're

wire-guided and act like mobile gun
platforms.

Dealing with them in this situation
won't be easy.

How about if we have the Labors act as a
distraction, while Mr. Shinshi and I go

around to the back and sever the control
cables?

Then we'll have Labor 3 hit them with a
blast VCM. That's the basic plan, plus

we'll improvise as the situation
changes.

That may be our only option.

Ota, take point. Noah, follow him while
guarding Commander Nagumo.

Hiromi, you stay here and cover us. Move
out when the flare goes off.

Come on, you scumbags! I'm right here!

Ota! Are you out of your mind?

Set up!

Mr. Ota, what are you doing?

Dammit, Buchiyama, what kind of advice
was that? By the time I aim to shoot,

they shoot a hundred rounds back at me!

Well, duh.

At this range, you cannot shoot them.

Hiromi, how about some cover fire?

All I can see right now are white spots.

Either case, this plant host, those
things may act more like Ota, but

there's still a thinking human
controlling them.

I heard that.

What should we do?

We'll do anything. Let's go.

Hey, get back here.

There's no choice.

What a pretty flower bed.

Bright white flowers that smell so
beautiful.

They're on the moon.

Commander! Commander Nagumo!

Yes, Nagumo here.

Please ready your ECM system.

Officer Shinohara, where are you right
now?

and shoot at anything that doesn't give
off an ID signal.

That's your chance to crush him.

Ota, are you awake yet?

Yeah. Time for your favorite close
quarters combat. Get ready.

All units, now prepping jamming at
maximum range.

Once I begin, shut down all sensors and
operate with the naked eye.

Let's go!

Come on! Hurry up and finish this thing
off!

It shot through the roof! The tunnel's
flooding!

Bye.

Looking out from up here, the city looks
like it's only a mirage. Don't you think

so as well?

Even if it is an illusion, there are
those who accept it as reality and that

live in it.

Or do even those people appear like an
illusion to you?

Three years ago, I lived in that
illusion after I came back.

I tried to get people to realize what it
was, but no one noticed until the first

shot rang out.

And... maybe even now.

Right now, I am here, standing right in
front of you, and I am no illusion.

Please go ahead.

Begin broadcast.

Maximum power.

Do you suppose that I come to bring
peace to the world?

No, not peace, but division.

From now on, a family of five will be
divided. Three against two, and two

against three.

Fathers will be against their sons and
sons against their fathers.

Mothers will be against their daughters
and daughters against their mothers.

So, you remembered that passage.

That was all you wrote in the last
letter you sent to me after you got

back.

I thought you were describing your
experiences out in the field back then.

People seem to never notice things till
it's too late.

However, they must be punished for their
sins.

Don't you agree?

Yukihito Tsuge, you are under arrest.

Shinohara, can you hear me?

Shinohara here, Commander.

Yes, I can hear you. If we can hear the
Commander's voice above ground, then

that means... The jamming signal's gone!

Finally! We did it!

Commander!

Commander!

In the end, I guess they're all I really
have.

I just got word that your people that
escaped by boat have all surrendered to

the peacekeeping units.

Nobody knows how many were injured or
killed or what the final costs will be.

So just tell me one thing.

You're the one who brought about all
this misery, so why didn't you just kill

yourself?

Perhaps there is a part of me that wants
to see more.

See more of what?

This city's future.
