The bomb is moving, huh?
Help! I can't get out!
Hold it. I'll have you do as I say.
Jump!
Sphinx...
"School ID" "Lisa Mishima"
I won't let you get away again.
Forced out by the world
"Terror in Resonance"
On top of an outrageously thin needle
Trying to find my balance
The tip of my finger touches you
And I know I'm not alone
With the single bent wing we were given
From when I was born
(Until I die)
I'll ask what you want to do
Because your smile is like that of an angel
In the heat of summer
(Getting distorted)
Out of the gaps between the cluster of burning buildings
We fall down
I'll pull (I'll pull)
The last trigger (last trigger)
Winter covers everything
Regarding the large-scale bombing incident at Haneda Airport,
"Sphinx Incident" "At Haneda Airport"
fortunately, there were no injuries
because it occurred on an uninhabited runway.
In addition, based on the suspicious text message sent before the incident,
it is suspected to be connected to the serial terrorists, Sphinx.
"Stand by at the station."
Isn't that what I ordered you to do?
In spite of that, you lot somehow got into a fight at the airport,
and even managed to interfere with the investigation.
You are all suspended for three months.
I'm also taking you off this case.
That's--
The next time you act without orders, you'll be dishonorably discharged!
Do you understand?
It's hard for police detectives to switch careers, you know.
I am the one who started this.
I will take complete responsibility.
I don't need you to tell me that.
I will have to take special measures with you.
Detective Shibazaki,
you are suspended for an indefinite period of time.
Doesn't that mean he's practically fired?
I saw Sphinx with my own eyes.
The bombing was not their doing.
Someone was trying to place the blame on them...
You seem to really want to quit being a detective, don't you?
Shibazaki.
Leave your badge.
"Metropolitan Police Department"
"First Division Office"
I know what you're trying to say.
But even with all this, you got off easy.
That woman was behind this, wasn't she?
It sounds like she actually wanted you to be fired.
You said she was a nuclear physicist or something?
What is she really?
Actually, I put out some feelers about it,
and it seems she was transferred from the ISA.
The ISA...?
The US Intelligence Support Activity special ops unit?
That's right.
Why is someone like a spy interested in stolen plutonium?
The situation may be much worse than we assumed.
"Don't take one step outside"
What's wrong? Why are you visiting out of the blue?
Hm?
Oh, you know.
What about Mom?
Dunno. She's probably at home.
What do you mean, "dunno"?
Anyway, you're probably so obsessed with work that you don't talk to her, right?
You're studying physics or something at school, right?
"Math for Physics" "Applied Physics" "Quantum Mechanics" "Theory of Relativity"
I'm in the department of science and engineering.
Then you know about nuclear power and stuff, too, right?
What? Are you worried about whether or not I'm studying properly?
Is it possible for an ordinary person to turn plutonium into a bomb?
Huh? Don't tell me this is for an investigation?
Uh, no...
This place is non-smoking.
It's a precision machine, so they'd need machine tools...
It'd probably be difficult for amateurs.
But it'd be possible in theory, right?
But before that, they'd have to deal with the problem of
the radiation they'd be exposed to from making something like that.
Hm.
I don't know what you're investigating, but is it really that bad?
No, I was just thinking about how weak this barley tea was.
The curry needs to simmer for a while!
Huh?
Ms. Lisa Mishima?
There's a package for you.
For me?
Thank you!
I wonder who it's from?
B-Bomb...?
So we're going to move out of the hideout?
They saw her face.
They might find this place eventually.
I really liked that roof and everything, though.
--Hm? --Eh?
Huh?
Even for a threat, that is going too far.
The American government's orders state that securing the object is our top priority.
If the worst were to happen...
Nine wouldn't hide it in a place like that.
I just have to produce results in the end, right?
Anyway, please show some moderation.
There is a limit to how much I can hold back the Japanese police.
This isn't funny...
This isn't funny at all...
"Game - 50 yen"
I didn't think we'd use this place.
Well, we can play all the games we want. It's pretty good, isn't it?
There are only retro games, though.
You know whose fault this is, right?
Mine...
I'm sorry...
"Terror in Resonance"
"National Archives of Japan"
The officials of the buildings where the bombs were placed
"Rising Peace Academy Regular Seminar"
were all participants of a seminar by a group called the Rising Peace Academy.
"Rising Peace Academy Seminar Participants List"
The group implemented something called the Athena Plan in the past.
"Athena Plan"
Like the Sphinx, Athena appears in Greek myths. The goddess of wisdom, huh?
Oh? Shibazaki?
Hey.
I thought you'd be out of the office for a while?
I thought I'd look something up while stopping by to visit.
Um, you can have one.
Hm?
I've got some of the ones you like, too.
If that's your idea of a farewell gift, I don't want it.
More importantly,
wasn't there an incident recently where the son of an influential member of
the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare injured someone?
Oh, I think that was settled out of court.
Sorry, can you find the paperwork from that for me?
Also...
What is it?
Save me a Pon de Ring donut.
Huh?
Are you saying you want to use that already?
We didn't take Five into consideration at all.
We should accelerate the plan.
I see.
What's wrong?
Nothing...
Hey, Nine...
Hm?
I was thinking... Maybe we should stop doing this...
--I'm hungry. --Okay, okay. Didn't you just eat?
"Ichiro Fujikawa" "Democratic Liberal Party"
Let's get straight to the point.
About ten years ago,
there was a project called the Athena Plan whose goal was to educate gifted children.
However, details of the project cannot be found anywhere on the public record.
Members of the Rising Peace Academy spearheaded the project.
Since you were one of those members, you must know about this plan.
I am terribly sorry, but I am not aware of the plan you are talking about.
And even if I did know, I wouldn't be able to divulge classified information.
I'm sure, as a detective, you understand.
Is your son well?
If you are speaking of that incident, it has already been resolved.
That may not be the case...
It appears he is still fooling around.
You bastard...
You're a detective! You dare use extortion?
Don't you know your place? How can you say this?
Actually, I am probably about to be fired.
I don't care about keeping up appearances.
Stop doing this?
If we continue on like this, we'll probably...
Are you scared?
Huh...?
Is it because of Lisa?
Huh?
Twelve, think back.
Where did we come from?
There's something we have to do.
Do you plan on forgetting that place?
One wrong step, and Lisa would've been killed by that bomb.
We shouldn't involve her in this any more.
That might be true...
That might be true, but even so...
If you're doing some investigating, I'll help.
How did you find me?
Someone told me after I treated him to ramen.
You'll be fired if you act on your own again, remember?
Do you have a job lined up if you lose this one?
My parents own a grocery store, so I'll never have to worry about finding a job.
Orphanages?
Yeah.
According to that politician,
they tested all the orphans in the country and gathered the gifted children.
So now you're going to investigate them one by one?
Yeah. I have to act like a detective sometimes.
Yes, I believe there was such a test.
There was no one who passed from our institution, though.
"Japan Newspaper"
Well, I was only five...
So I don't remember what was on the test...
I do remember being interviewed, though.
Oh, that's...
Yeah, I like Sphinx.
Then, that boy was taken by a government official?
Yes. We never heard from him again.
Do you remember anything about that official?
I believe he gave me his business card.
It's strange, isn't it?
We went to so many different places, and not a single person knows where those kids went.
Yeah.
It's as if they were hosts or something and disappeared from this world.
But at least this guy exists for sure.
"Souta Aoki, Director" "Ministry of Health and Welfare - Information Bureau"
The Athena Plan?
Yeah.
Find me some information about this project
from the servers of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
If you look in the registry of past employees,
you should be able to find this Aoki guy's address, too.
If I get caught, I won't get away with just being fired.
Isn't the cybercrime division's specialty hacking?
To prevent hacking.
At this rate, many people will die.
Okay, okay.
Oh, it's moving!
I'll call you back later.
"Sorry for always causing trouble. Goodbye." "Lisa"

Hey, Hamura,
there was a young man who said he liked Sphinx, wasn't there?
Yeah, there have been young people recently who treat them like heroes.
Even though they're just a couple of criminals.
I see...
A long time ago, when I was young,
there were teenagers who threw rocks at the riot police and fought against the government.
Even though Sphinx are called terrorists now, in a different time...
...they might've been called something else.
That's what I think, anyway
Yes, I've found Aoki's address.
Also, regarding the Athena Plan...
Pharmaceutical companies, neuroscience research institutions,
and state-of-the-art medical organizations were involved as well.
What?
The plan itself was terminated seven years ago.
I see.
There's one more important detail...
Don't tell me...!
You poor thing...
You haven't been taking care of your nails, so they look like they're about to break.
Lisa Mishima. Currently living with her caring mother, just the two of them.
I researched everything about you.
You left by yourself thinking it would be better for the guys that way.
So that you wouldn't get in their way.
Right?
You're so considerate.
Don't misunderstand me. I want to help them.
They still have a chance to atone for their crimes right now.
But if they do what they're planning on doing next,
they will be beyond redemption.
That's why you should tell me what you know.
Why were you with Nine and Twelve?
I... happened to see them at the Tokyo government office...
They told me to choose between becoming an accomplice and dying...
So I...
You should have just died.
How stupid. Really stupid.
To have that idiot woman following them around.
It must have been so annoying for those two.
I... I don't care what happens to me.
But please, let those two...
Let them go?
Your life means nothing to me.
It's not even worth as much as an ant's.
Anyway, do you really think those guys have a future?
What?
Twelve!
I'm going to look for Lisa.
She could have run scared to the police.
She wouldn't do that!
Isn't that just what you want to think?
It's from Lisa's cell phone.
"Message" "Lisa Mishima" "Contact"
"Lisa Mishima"
Lisa!
It's Five. There's no doubt about it.
Twelve, wait!
This is a trap.
I know.
Then why?!
It won't work like it has in the past. We don't have any more time--!
I know that!
I think...
I'm going because I don't have time!
Twelve...
Please don't go.
I'm sorry, Nine.
Will anyone sprinkle the ocean over my head?
I want to be showered by submerged fish and sun
The brilliant unknown
The magic that disappears when I stumble
As if looking at the cracked sky through a glass slide
On the roof of an abandoned building
Surrounding the murmur of down feathers
We are a song
Clad in the throbbing
Of the light decorating the ashen ground
We are a bouquet
Wings pulled out
