Original subtitles

Yusuke Nogi shot his biological father, Nogon Beki,

and Tent executives Batraka and Piyo

at Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Uehara's home.

He then set fire to the scene to destroy the evidence

and waited in the Beppan operations room until dawn.

Meanwhile, at that very moment...

(explosion sound)

What?

The four agents who took part in the Tent infiltration mission—

Takada, Wada, Hirose and Kumagaya—

were taken from the hospitals where they were recovering

by foreign intelligence agencies.

Kurosu, who had stayed behind in Balka,

was abducted as well.

Only Yusuke Nogi was in the Beppan operations room,

and so narrowly escaped capture.

Nozaki: Who do you think betrayed Beppan's agents?

Hayato: I've got it. Sakurai: Just as we thought.

Nogi: That's what I suspected too.

Nogi searched for his captured comrades,

while the legendary hacker who'd joined forces with him,

Blue Walker, began tracking their whereabouts.

Footage from surveillance cameras Nogi had planted in Gel

provided the decisive breakthrough.

Kurosu had been taken to Azerbaijan,

a country between Russia and Iran.

And the destinations of the four other agents,

which had been concealed,

were also uncovered

by Blue Walker.

Phone: So all four were moved

on cargo flights?

Yes. Nokol: They're all in different places? Where?

At airports within a radius of about 1,000 km

of Mount Ararat.

Mount Ararat? It's also known as Ararat.

The legendary mountain where Noah's Ark is said to have landed.

You know a lot about it. Yes, actually...

I've been interested in the story of Noah's Ark since college.

Just like Dad. Yes, back at our family home in Okuizumo...

Never mind that. Is Cyprus one of the destinations?

It is. Why?

Nokol: Ali is here.

Huh?

You forgot? The Ali you interrogated.

Well, then, I have no choice. Hey!

(Ant) Ah... Ah! Ah, Boriochi!

Ah, ah, ah!

No, Ali should be in Caracas, Venezuela.

Nokol: When my brother was brought here for the Tent mission

and locked in the dungeon with Kurosu,

Dad made a decision behind the scenes.

Ali had revealed Beki's identity under my brother's torture

and provided a way into Tent's communications network.

To inform Ali of his decision,

Dad sent Batraka to Caracas to find him.

(door opens)

Ah, ha...

(Batraka) Ali

Batraka?

Now free from the threat of being hunted by Tent,

Ali left Venezuela, where security was poor,

(types on keyboard)

and chose a country where his Muslim family could live more easily:

Cyprus, where he settled.

Could it be coincidence... or something else?

Kurosu: What happened when you got to Balka?

Yamamoto: I trained there. Ali looked after me.

What was Ali's position? A very high-ranking officer.

He was in charge of Japan.

You mean Tent's operations in Japan?

That's right, brother.

Ali was the one who recruited Shinjo as a monitor.

And Ali didn't just handle Japan.

The monitors across Russia and Asia

all communicated directly with Ali.

Piyo and I received his reports.

Could Ali, Shinjo and the other monitors

have formed a kind of alliance?

Yes. If an abducted Beppan agent is in Cyprus,

Ali might be involved

behind the scenes.

Right now, we don't know where our abducted agents are.

Wouldn't it be worth approaching Ali, who had such close ties with Shinjo?

We need to change tactics.

Let's go after Shinjo, the man who betrayed Beppan.

(chime)

Mr. Nogi Drum!

What, ah...

Ah! Ah, ah...

Ah! … Ah, ah…

Hey, wake up

Wake up

Wake up!

Stop struggling.

Do you want something to happen to them? Drum, take a picture.

You bastard! I warned you, didn't I?

Your worst nightmare is back.

Now answer my questions honestly.

This polygraph...

is a unique device developed by Beppan.

It's connected to the AI at Beppan headquarters in Japan.

You understand, don't you?

That means you can't get away with lying.

If the AI analyzes what you say

and determines that you're lying,

we'll kill them one by one. For real this time.

Sorry, but we're out of options.

Ali: What do you want to know? F: Just answer my questions.

Listen, Ali. There's something I've wanted to ask you.

When I let you escape to Caracas,

back in the desert,

you described Tent as the complete opposite of what it is.

You made it sound like the world's most terrifying terrorist group.

Ali: That's because...

I had no choice.

F: No choice?

Oh, I see. You knew about the fluorite, didn't you?

I was told only Beki and his three senior executives knew:

Nokol, Batraka and Piyo.

But you were as high-ranking as any of them.

As Yamamoto put it, a 'very high-ranking officer.'

Am I right? Ali: Yes, and that's why...

If I'd told you Tent's purpose was to rescue orphans,

you'd have pressed me about how we raised so much money in just three years.

Then I'd have had to reveal the fluorite. That's why I couldn't tell you.

F: That makes even less sense.

When we parted,

you gave me the encryption table for accessing Tent's communications network.

Why did you give it to me?

You knew Beki's true intentions,

and you knew about the fluorite.

So why did you want Beppan to get close to Tent?

Did you actually want Tent to be destroyed?

Ali: I was betting on you, Mr. Nogi.

F: What?

Ali: If you could crack that encryption table,

I'd know VIVANT was a highly capable intelligence organization.

F: I didn't crack it. Blue Walker did.

Ali: But you were part of that exceptional organization,

and Beki's own flesh-and-blood son.

If you infiltrated Tent,

I knew you would uncover its true nature

and ultimately

expose Gobi.

Wanis: Please sign this one too.

Wait. What's that?

Gobi: I'm sorry, Nokol.

F: You already suspected Gobi back then?

Ali: Yes. Nokol

trusted Gobi completely

and wouldn't listen to my warnings.

In the end, Gobi did betray us.

And you exposed him, just as I'd hoped.

F: Who told you about that?

Ali: I've stayed in touch with Mata and Shichi.

Hayato: The P300 signal has been responding so far.

Ali is telling the truth.

F: So you were manipulating me all along?

Ali: Forgive me, Mr. Nogi.

That's exactly right.

You

exceeded all my expectations!

Ali: That settles the mystery.

Now let my family go.

Hey, Mr. Nogi!

F: Sorry. We're only getting started.

F: I told you. We're only getting started.

From now on, answer yes or no.

Ali: Understood. F: No, no, no...

Ali: Yes! Yes!

F: You recruited Shinjo as a Tent monitor, didn't you?

Ali: Yes. F: Did you help Shinjo

escape in order to save him?

Answer! Ali: No.

F: Do you know Shinjo's escape route?

Ali: No.

F: Do you know where Shinjo is hiding? Ali: No!

F: Hayato, how is he doing?

Hayato: His heart rate is rising,

but he doesn't seem to be lying.

F: You...

guided the abducted Beppan agents here to Cyprus!

Ali: Beppan agents in Cyprus?! What are you talking about?

Shinjo, Cyprus and Beppan?!

What do they have to do with one another?

F: Have you contacted Shinjo since going into hiding in Caracas?

Ali: No. Not once since you captured me.

F: What about any of the other monitors?

Ali: No!

Hayato: 93% of Ali's statements are truthful.

Sakurai: That's enough.

F, stop there. Ali really doesn't seem to know.

F: Fine, I get it.

You take it from here. But...

he's our only lead on Shinjo.

Mr. Drum, we're done. Please come back.

(take a deep breath)

Mr. Nogi,

I have a question too.

Nogi: Go ahead.

Ali: It was the same at the mosque in Ulaanbaatar.

You...

do you have a split personality?

It's as if a completely different person lives inside you.

How do you explain that?

Nogi: I have someone who helps me when I'm weak,

a friend who lives right here.

Ali: A friend?

Nogi: He always helps me, especially on missions.

Ali: I see.

But...

you are aware

of what that friend does, aren't you?

Nogi: Of course.

Ali: Which one is the real Mr. Nogi?

Nogi: The weak, pathetic person you see before you.

Ali: I see...

Ali: I met Shinjo about two years ago.

It was in Balka, at the...

Gioloni Solgur Training School.

Yes, that's where we met.

Did Shinjo enroll there later? Ali: Yes.

Nozaki suspected Ali had ties to Tent and sent Shinjo undercover to investigate.

Isn't that right, Drum?

But during the investigation, Shinjo learned Tent was helping orphans, and his feelings changed.

Yes. But he told Mr. Nozaki:

Ali's a tough nut to crack. He's not giving anything away.

So Shinjo claimed he'd dropped out of flight school partway through.

Ali: He never quit. He kept attending.

Drum, when was this?

December 10, 2021.

By then, he'd told me he worked for Public Security

and had become one of our monitors.

Did Mr. Nozaki give up investigating Ali?

A new lead emerged: Zaire, the man who blew himself up.

We all shifted our investigation to Zaire.

Zaire was another one of my monitors.

A monitor?!

Yes. Like Shinjo, he was a top-ranking monitor.

Top-ranking?

There are only three ranks.

What about Yamamoto?

You need to ask? Most were bottom-tier.

Most of the lower-ranking monitors were motivated by...

Ata Holsol Gomdorin Seindrom Toy.

A resentment complex. Exactly.

They supported Tent to punish those in power

or the governments of their own countries.

The middle tier knew Tent's real purpose.

Top-tier monitors such as Shinjo and Zaire

also knew about Beki himself. There were about seven.

Of course, we never told them about the fluorite.

What's wrong, Mr. Nogi?

When did Shinjo first enroll at that school?

Around August 2021.

He told us he'd dropped out in December 2021,

but in fact he kept going in secret? Ali: Yes.

That's odd. Isn't that a long time to get a license?

Not at all. That license requires 200 hours of training.

Two hundred hours? What kind of license?

Don't tell me... a jet?!

Was it a flight school for airplanes?

Yes.

That bastard! He kept going after I told him to quit?

That's right, Mr. Nozaki.

Shinjo secretly kept training,

and eventually got a multi-engine rating too.

That bastard... Tojo: With that kind of license...

He could escape in a private jet?

Mr. Nozaki, please clear the room.

Sorry, everyone. Please step outside.

Hurry up!

Several voices: Yes!

(Suzuki) Hurry up

Sorry

I'll close the door.

(types on keyboard)

Tojo: I've blocked the signal.

Nogi, we're ready.

Mr. Nozaki, Shinjo probably forged his passport and pilot's license,

then tried to fly himself out of the country.

Tojo: No, no. Within five minutes of identifying Shinjo as a monitor,

we activated facial recognition nationwide.

Private jet crews go through a special gate.

He wasn't picked up there, either. That's strange.

Maybe he got through wearing elaborate disguise makeup.

Oh, come on...

I've asked Ota to investigate.

Ota? You mean that Ota?

Blue... Shut up!

Nogi, are you in contact with Ota?

Yes, and we can link her to the cybercrime unit...

Wait. Audio only, if you're going to connect us.

And disguise her voice.

Ota: Huh? Tojo: Why?

We don't know who might be watching or where.

Just to be safe.

yes (types on keyboard)

Huh? What's this? Kokontei Shinsei?

Ota [disguised voice]: Mr. Tojo, I'm Ota. Hello.

Never mind the introductions. Let's begin.

Yes...

From May 6, when Shinjo helped Nogon Beki escape,

until today, how many international private jets

departed from airports across Japan?

Ota: Thirteen flights in total.

If he was avoiding the N-System cameras,

he couldn't have traveled too far overland.

Let's limit it to Kanto and Tokai.

Show us each crew gate from 30 minutes before departure.

Ota [disguised voice]: I hacked the gate cameras at those airports. Here's the footage.

First, Hamamatsu to Shanghai.

Next, Ibaraki to Vladivostok.

Chubu to Seoul.

Shin-Fuji to Bangkok.

He's not there.

Were any of these flights rescheduled at the last minute?

Rescheduled? Tojo: Actually...

Shinjo couldn't have known when he could free Beki

until the very last moment.

So it's unlikely his original flight plan

would have worked unchanged, right?

No, but... Ota: Found one!

The plane had already arrived in Japan,

but Nikolai, the Russian investor who chartered it,

changed the flight schedule three times.

Nikolai? Bring up his background and photo.

Here he is.

Play the Ibaraki Airport footage again.

yes (types on keyboard)

Again, but start a little earlier!

Ota: Okay. Starting one minute earlier.

There! Did you see something?

There! Did you see something?

Slow it down. Sure.

(types on keyboard)

Those could be traces of altered video footage.

Then...

Ota: There's another one here.

Looks like Shinjo has a very skilled hacker too.

The footage showing him passing through

must have been completely replaced.

If we can trace where the original footage was sent,

we may discover who we're up against.

Okay. How long will that take?

Ota: Probably less than two hours.

Right. We can't stay here all day.

Let's move to Tojo's place. Okay.

(breathing heavily)

How did it go?

I checked every monitor under my supervision and their families.

No one matches Nikolai's name or face.

I see. And this?

A list of every monitor I managed. Thank you.

Ali: Could he be with an intelligence agency or an information broker?

We checked with headquarters. No matches.

Mr. Nogi, Mr. Nozaki and Mr. Tojo have arrived.

All right, I'll come get them.

Hey, any news?

Did you find anything?

Hey, Ota! Ota: Just a moment.

I found where the security system was interrupted at that exact time.

Wow, impressive!

Ota: But when I traced where the original video went,

I found nothing but more altered footage.

I kept digging,

tracking it through servers in 35 countries

until it circled back here to Japan.

It must have taken a long time to set that up.

It was incredibly meticulous.

Going to all that trouble means Shinjo went to Vladivostok.

There's no doubt, right? Right.

All right. I'm going to Vladivostok.

Mr. Nozaki,

could you ask Mr. Tojo to leave?

What? This is my house!

Tojo! Yes?

Nogi, we'll need his help from now on, too.

I'll fill him in later. Go ahead.

If you say so, Mr. Nozaki.

What is it?

Even if Public Security captures Shinjo,

we'll get nowhere if he refuses to talk.

So you're saying Beppan can make him talk, even by illegal means?

Yes. My comrades' lives are at stake.

Hold on. What exactly did Shinjo do,

apart from helping Beki escape prison?

Shut up. Okay.

Once we've found out everything, I promise we'll hand him over.

Your commander is listening to this conversation.

What does she say?

Well?

You already know the answer.

You must also hand over all recordings and video evidence.

That's our condition.

Understood.

Don't you think something's odd?

We've met hackers from all over the world on missions,

and we've arrested plenty of them.

We've dealt with all kinds of people.

Right. Who was the best hacker of them all?

Ota, of course.

Right? She has a brain like a supercomputer.

She cracked Ali's code when even Hayato couldn't.

Exactly. Maybe it's animal instinct.

Ota's a natural.

But even Ota didn't spot the tampered airport footage.

Someone better than Ota is helping Shinjo? That doesn't add up.

And Nikolai doesn't seem to belong to any intelligence organization either.

[Phone vibrates]

Kaoru! Wasn't I supposed to call about Jameen's school?

Oh no, I forgot!

Alpha to all teams. General broadcast.

International call detected between the protected subject's fiancée and Yusuke Nogi.

Begin intercepting their conversation.

(with headphones listening to the call)

Nogi: Kaoru, sorry to keep you waiting. Go ahead.

Kaoru: Have you got the shortlist and brochures ready?

Yes. I think the best school for Jameen is

Bayal Academy. Really?

Really? I thought so too!

I think it's the best choice. I see...

I'm glad we agree, Mr. Nogi.

I've visited the school several times myself.

A lot of the children are from Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China.

The brochure mentions Professor Densuma. She's wonderful.

She's very attentive to children who are anxious about moving to Japan.

She really cares about them.

I see. And at this school,

they can provide dinner as well as lunch if you ask.

Then it won't matter if you and I get home late from work.

Exactly. Although Jameen is from Balka,

she shares a language with the Mongolian children,

so I think she'll fit right in.

Of course, since she'll be living in Japan,

I want her to learn Japanese too. Me too.

Once she understands Japanese, she could use sign language or a phone like Drum.

Then she might even be able to attend a Japanese school.

She might be able to speak again someday.

That's right.

Shall I go ahead with the enrollment?

Please do. Oh, one more thing.

Could you put Jameen on the phone?

Mr. Nogi...

Of course. Here you go.

Jameen!

[Door opens] Ali: Mr. Nogi, sorry to keep you waiting...

Kaoru: Jameen looks so happy! That's wonderful.

Sorry, I have another meeting now.

All right, then.

Okay, Jameen...

Ali: Is that Jameen, Adiel's daughter?

Yes. It seems you already know

that she's staying at my house.

Yes. Mata told me.

How is Jameen doing?

She had a difficult time getting to Japan,

but her surgery went well. She's healthy now.

I see. She's safe in Japan.

I'm truly glad

Jameen made it there.

I think she could live safely in Balka now, too.

Well... no.

Japan is still safer.

I agree.

All right, I'll pass that on.

Drum: The taxi is here, Mr. Nogi.

Thank you, Drum.

(locking sound)

What?

Mr. Ali,

Beki's funeral is in ten days.

Could you help us prepare for it?

Then I'd like you to stay in Balka

and support Nokol.

Ali: Why are you suddenly asking me this?

I don't understand.

Tent has disbanded, and Beki is dead.

Nokol is struggling to carry on Beki's wishes.

With Piyo and Batraka gone, he has no one beside him

he can truly confide in and rely on.

Ali: Do you really think I could fill that role?

Nogi: You saw through Gobi long before anyone else.

And you used the encryption table to steer me. You have a strategist's instincts.

You'd be a great help to Nokol.

Ali: Mr. Nogi, I betrayed Tent once.

I can't imagine Nokol accepting me.

Nogi: I just spoke with Nokol. He wants this too.

He wants your help.

Nokol...?

Nokol really said that?

Yes.

(thunder)

Ali: So it finally happened.

What did?

They warned about it on the news.

Sherit Yaush Hatti.

They said it might occur.

It's something that often happens in Japan.

A stationary linear rainband?

Yes, exactly.

A linear rainband...?

(Electronic sound)

News: The night before last, in eastern Shizuoka,

a stationary rainband developed.

News: Another update on the storm from the night before last.

A massive linear rainband formed,

bringing heavy rain to eastern Shizuoka throughout the afternoon.

The storm caused extensive damage.

This rainband... Wait!

The day before yesterday was May 6.

And eastern Shizuoka is

exactly where Shin-Fuji Airport is!

Was it raining in that footage?

I can't remember!

Excuse me. The key, please.

Shin-Fuji Airport. Got it.

Play it.

Ota, are you all right?

Ota: Yes. I'll play it now.

I'll zoom in on the view outside the window.

If it's only light rain, it may be hard to tell.

Ota: It doesn't seem to be raining.

What about footage from near the airport at the same time? Coming up.

Ota: Here's the area around the control tower.

Ah. This is...

Cancel Ali's flight to Vladivostok.

Book two seats on the earliest flight to Bangkok.

Yes.

So Shinjo went to Bangkok, not Vladivostok?

Yes. The footage from the Shin-Fuji crew exit

was replaced.

Ota: The image on the right is from November 8, about six months earlier.

The left is supposedly from May 6.

They're identical!

Someone simply changed the date and reused the older footage.

Then what about the strange artifacts in the Ibaraki Airport footage?

It was a trap.

The enemy wanted to focus our attention on the flight to Vladivostok.

They deliberately rescheduled it repeatedly,

then planted glitches in the video to draw us to it.

Exactly. Do we have footage of Shinjo at Shin-Fuji?

I'm looking, but I'm working alone and it's taking time.

Hey, Drum! Is Tojo still asleep?

That idiot!

He probably hasn't slept since Shinjo escaped.

Neither have I. Sorry.

What?

You've got it already? Yes.

That was quick. You surprised me.

Show me! Okay, okay!

Here it is.

Could this be Shinjo?

Those eyes and ears...

It's Shinjo.

Ota: Let's compare them side by side.

That's an impressive disguise. Ota,

Nikolai and whoever chartered the Bangkok flight

must be connected. Investigate it.

Already on it. I've found something interesting.

Ota: Here it is.

The Bangkok flight was chartered by Seasook.

Seasook's parent company's parent, Siam Aira,

is 77% owned by

CTP, headed by Chokky Tapanit.

Chokky Tapanit is a famous businessman.

Chokky—the name on that list?

Yes, on Ali's list.

It only said 'Chokky'.

I'm sorry. His address was on there too.

I should have investigated more closely.

Drum, tell Ali to cancel our flight to Bangkok.

Book us seats for Phnom Penh in Cambodia.

Nogi, don't go too far.

I won't.

Ali: Mr. Nogi! Oh, hello.

I managed to get seats from the waiting list. Thank you!

Here are your tickets and passport.

And your credit card. Sorry for the trouble.

I've also pulled up Chokky's file.

Thank you.

These are three places he's used as hideouts.

His history of activities is in there too.

Thank you.

I could contact him and ask where he is.

If you suddenly contact him, Shinjo, as a Public Security officer,

will catch on to our movements. You're right.

Ali, does Chokky have ties to any intelligence agency?

Not that I know of. But lately he's apparently been dealing with foreign brokers.

Brokers?

He's been selling classified information from different countries.

Direct deals with intelligence agencies are risky, so he uses intermediaries.

But isn't Chokky wealthy? Why would he need to?

He invested heavily in Chinese real estate.

When the bubble burst, he lost a fortune.

So he may have sold information about Beppan.

(Airport announcement)

Announcement: The plane is about to depart.

Mr. Nogi, I'm leaving for Balka tomorrow.

Are you prepared? I came here with my family and nothing else.

Do you have enough money?

I still have some of the money you gave me in Ulaanbaatar.

I see. Then I'll see you in Balka.

Mr. Nogi, I have a question.

Why are we going to Cambodia

instead of Thailand?

I understand that Chokky

is a powerful, wealthy businessman in Thailand.

He's likely working with the police to keep watch for us.

If we go through immigration at Bangkok Airport,

they'll alert Shinjo immediately.

Exactly.

So we'll enter neighboring Cambodia first

and cross from the port of Sihanoukville into Thailand by boat, right?

Yes. We'll land at Makham Harbor.

Ah I've arrived

Yo uh...

Ugh ah ah

But then we'll still... Sorry.

We'll still have to clear immigration at the port, won't we?

Yes. That's what I'm asking.

How do we get past the checks?

We'll use our secret weapon.

(door opens)

Ah

Huh!

(locking sound)

(ring the bell)

Here you go.

We'll disguise ourselves as fishermen.

So that's the secret weapon.

You came to Sihanoukville to get Thai passports?

Yes.

But won't facial recognition flag us when we enter Thailand?

Drum, you grew up in landlocked Balka, so you might not know this,

but Japanese fishermen returning to Japanese ports

don't have to go through immigration.

It's the same in Thailand.

But when we leave Cambodia,

we still have to pass immigration.

I doubt Cambodia uses facial recognition at its border checkpoints.

Let's get changed.

I'll explain the route our local team arranged.

First, we'll go on foot to Sihanoukville Harbor.

There, we'll find the Thai-flagged fishing boat Khwam Wan

and a sailor named Rudi.

The boat's called Khwam Wan.

It's moored on the left, facing out to sea.

Mr. Nogi, isn't that it?

Ah

Excuse me, can I ask you something?

Is Rudi here?

Who the hell are you?

When the water rises, the fish eat the ants.

And when the water recedes?

The ants eat the fish.

100,000 baht up front.

We'll travel north across the Gulf of Thailand on Rudi's boat to enter Thailand.

To avoid being recognized by security cameras,

we'll wear masks.

Got it.

(elephant cries)

Rudi: Don't look behind you!

Rudi: Those are police! If they spot you, we're in trouble!

Rudi: I told you not to look!

Officer: Rudi! Back from Cambodia today?

Rudi: Yeah.

Officer: Are these guys new?

Rudi: Yeah.

Officer: Take your masks off.

Officer: What country are you from?

Nogi: Thailand.

Officer: Show me your ID.

Nogi: Sorry, just a moment.

Officer: All right. You can go.

Rudi: Take this van.

Nogi: There's a 100,000-baht completion bonus in the bag.

Thank you for your help.

We'll take Route 3 north for 400 km to Bangkok.

Along the way, there are more than twenty cameras,

like Japan's N-System. Keep your heads down.

[Humming]

Shinjo: Did you find him?

Chokky: Apparently he's gone back to Balka.

Shinjo: Balka?

Chokky: Yeah.

Chokky: I tracked down his new company's number and his home number in Cyprus.

Chokky: I called them over and over,

but nobody answered. I was furious!

When I investigated further, he'd already returned to Balka.

Shinjo: Why Balka?

Chokky: I have no idea.

Chokky: Also, we got a report from Makham Port police.

A Japanese-looking guy and someone built like a sumo wrestler came from Cambodia.

Shinjo: A sumo wrestler?

Shinjo: How tall was the other guy?

Chokky: Not particularly tall.

They said his face had fairly subtle features.

But that's not Mr. Nozaki...

So who could that sumo wrestler be?

Shinjo: Can you get a photo?

Chokky: Give me a second.

Chokky: Tam-Tam?

It's Chokky.

The fishing boat Khwam Wan left Cambodia yesterday.

Get me the passports of the two people aboard.

By hacking, obviously!

What else are you even good for?

[Clears throat]

[Clears throat]

It's urgent. Please hurry!

Bye!

Oh...

Sorry if I startled you.

Go on, eat!

[Warning tone]

A new one just came in.

Yasu, come up on-screen.

AI Yasu: Understood.

Looks a little different from that photo.

Completely different.

Camera ahead in 200 meters.

Three, two, one... Heads down!

[Camera shutter]

Okay.

[Phone rings]

Any movement? Yes. Earlier, when they left Cambodia,

Nogi and Drum's passport data was hacked at Sihanoukville.

So the police are connected to them after all. Ota: Yes.

Can you trace the hacker? I'm working on it.

What should I do with their passport photos?

It's safe now. You can put them back.

Understood.

Hey, Shin-chan, don't worry.

Nobody thinks you escaped by private jet.

They're combing all over Japan for you right now.

Hmm

We've settled on a temporary base.

Room 307 at the Siam Hotel.

I'm starving. I want some mochi.

There should be some in your room. I ordered it ahead.

[Door unlocks]

Hayato, have you identified whom Chokky is selling information about Beppan to?

Hayato: Blue Walker cracked the password

to Chokky's cloud email account.

After April 22, when Shinjo sent Nokol confirmation that Takada, Wada,

Hirose and Kumagaya were still alive,

Chokky began contacting several parties frequently.

All of them are information brokers based in Iran, China,

Russia, North Korea and Syria.

They buy and sell intelligence.

Blue Walker, continue.

None of the messages explicitly mention 'Japan' or 'Beppan agents'.

They use coded language to arrange

face-to-face negotiations.

Very cautious.

Yes. I also examined the accounts of Chokky's CTP company.

As Ali said, they're carrying an enormous debt.

Information about Beppan is worth a fortune.

A sale could wipe out those losses at once.

After helping Beki and the others escape prison,

Shinjo hired Chokky to get him out of Japan.

Chokky saw the value of Shinjo's information about the Beppan agents

and realized it could recover his huge losses from his investments in China.

That's why he agreed to shelter Shinjo.

That theory is almost certainly right.

We'll have to ask Shinjo and Chokky directly whom they sold the information to.

Of the three hideouts Ali identified,

we believe Shinjo is in Villa Complex C.

Why? Three reasons.

First, Blue Walker managed to hack

the CCTV in a hangar at Bangkok Airport.

Wait, wasn't the footage cut this time?

Yes, which helped us identify the car that picked Shinjo up.

But the car headed toward Phuket, where Villa Complex C is located.

About 20 km after it joined Route 4,

almost all the surveillance cameras went dark.

Hayato: But local Beppan agents made inquiries,

and someone saw a tall Japanese-looking man in a pilot's uniform

entering Villa Complex C.

That's the second reason.

Third, remember the hack on Nogi's passport when he left Cambodia?

It was carried out by the IT department

of Siamlin, a telecom company owned by Chokky.

Right afterward, data was transmitted

to a location near the villa complex.

Blue Walker traced the transfer.

That should settle it.

Yes. Villa Complex C

contains roughly twenty houses,

and there's a heavy police presence.

But which house is Shinjo hiding in?

Blue Walker hacked some military satellites to obtain images,

but the walls are made of special material,

so even infrared detection can't locate Shinjo.

To evade the Thai police and capture an armed Shinjo,

we'll need enough people on our side.

Commander [disguised voice]: Understood. I'll look into it.

Thank you. But how do we pinpoint the house?

Even if we watch the whole complex, we can't identify it if Shinjo stays inside.

We need to get him out somehow...

Drum: Mr. Nogi, let me try. What?

Give me 100,000 baht.

All right, but how will you do it?

ah!

There! Isn't that him?

He's over here!

Oh!

Thanks for signing up, everyone!

I've sent you the car plates to look for.

Check your phones carefully.

You're really paying us 3,000 baht, right?

If you send me a clear photo,

I'll pay you through TrueMoney Wallet.

Does anyone here not use it?

Number 28!

That's mine!

Number eight!

That's mine!

[Exhales]

I'll say it again.

Send me clear photos of what you bought.

[Speaking a foreign language]

[Camera shutters clicking]

[Button pressed twice]

Drum, did you find it?

ah!

Everyone misses some food from home when they're abroad.

I do. Mine is sekihan, red-bean rice.

Shinjo loved the sekihan Mr. Nozaki made, too.

And even when he was in Balka,

he ate that smelly natto constantly.

House number five bought those foods.

Shinjo has to be in that house!

Great work!

Commander: We've confirmed our first support agent.

He's well connected with the local police

and oversees Beppan operations in Southeast Asia. Thank you.

Today at 1:00 p.m., at the Mandarin Hotel,

at the Sala Rim Naam restaurant. Wear the fifth tie.

He'll approach you. Understood.

Ouch!

Maybe we've arrived a little too early.

F: It's fine for now, but take it off when the time comes.

I know, but I'm excited. I wonder what he'll be like.

F: Seriously, just be careful.

You're worrying too much. I'll be fine.

[Sighs]

Oh? Huh?

That guy...

No, that can't be him, can it?

For a second, he had the eyes of an intelligence operative.

Maybe.

You think an intelligence agent would be covered in tattoos like that?

He looks like a gangster!

Tattoos are fashionable here.

You can't judge him by appearances.

Is that so? What about...

Hey, Yusuke!

There!

Managing Director Nagano...!

You're on a long assignment in Southeast Asia. Have you come to Bangkok too?

Are we leaving? Of course!

I'm supposed to be in Balka. If he finds me in Thailand, I'll be in serious trouble.

But what about our meeting?

We'll have to change the location. Nagano didn't notice me, did he?

He's too busy talking. You're fine.

Someone you know?

Yes. It could cause problems later,

so I stepped away for the moment.

Commander: I see. I'll call back in 15 minutes.

All right.

We've made contact with the other person.

He'll come to your room at 1:55 p.m.

My room? Sakurai: Yes. Is there a problem?

No, Commander. He's coming in five minutes. May Drum be present?

Commander: Of course. He's part of this mission.

I'll let our contact know as well.

The recognition code is 3-2-1-1-8.

Drum.
