Calm down!
If we panic here, it'll be no different from giving in to the terrorists.
White House
Is it true that the Ua virus was used?
Yes, Mr. Vice President.
White House Chief of Staff
We were able to confirm it from the video that was being relayed on the Internet.
Were you able to identify the terrorist organization?
Secretary of State
It's the Daedala company; they were jointly in charge of security for the event.
According to information from SWIFT,
an investment firm in the Cayman Islands that traces back to them
was involved in the macroscale wash sales on NASDAQ.
Mr. Vice President, the Daedala company is a front for Snake.
What on earth is going on?
Vice President of the United States
Are they trying to use the United States as a scapegoat?
Maria!
Canaan...
So this is synesthesia—
No, a power that greatly surpasses it.
Are you trying to spice up the sideshow yourself?
Don't tell me you're just going to sit and watch even though Canaan is here.
Canaan's elimination wasn't part of our plan.
But feel free to do as you like.
As I like?
Miscalculations are bound to happen when you have a pawn
that lacks reason working for you.
Miss Liang-qi!
Miss Liang-qi...
Miss Alphard!
We interrupt this scheduled broadcast to bring you breaking news.
The government has stated in today's press conference that...
The government responded with the following:
In Shanghai,
the People's Liberation Army has sent their final transmission
to the terrorist organization that has now apparently locked itself inside the convention center.
In the case that the PLA decides to engage in a break-in operation,
the situation will hopefully be handled in a swift manner...
What's going on?
Is she...?
Is Alphard trying to start a world war or something?
I thought you didn't want to be involved in this any more?
It's a whole different story if that was used.
You won't be able to back out of this.
The symptoms of the Ua virus manifest themselves twelve hours after contraction,
and the virus itself becomes airborne through the victim's blood and coughing.
We cannot deny the possibility that the hundreds of hostages inside the convention center
have been infected as well.
If they were to be released into public,
the infection would spread throughout the entire area of Shanghai.
Gentlemen,
is a rescue operation viable at this point?
It'll be hard.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
We need to be able to neutralize the virus,
but it'd be meaningless for us to send a vaccine from CONUS
now that he's been infected with the virus.
Japan's Okoshi Pharmaceutical Company has secretly succeeded
National Security Adviser
in manufacturing an antiviral drug for the Ua virus;
I think our only chance of rescue would be to fly this drug over from Yokota Air Base.
Will the Japanese Government acknowledge the existence of this antiviral?
We'll acquire it directly from the director of Okoshi Pharmaceutical.
And his name is...
Kenji Osawa?
I thought he already left us.
He'll come.
Once he finds out that his lovely daughter's caught right in the middle of all this, that is.
What did you say?
That Japanese reporter that you know so well...
We have yet to receive word about what's happening inside the convention center.
Osawa!
That guy...
Don't tell me she's the girl that was with him?
Let go!
Plus she's a very good friend of our Surrogate Fighter of Steel.
Osawa!
Let me go!
Osawa!
Okoshi Pharmaceutical Research Laboratory
So that's Kenji Osawa.
What's with that security detail?
They didn't tell us about this!
I see.
I understand.
It's Snake.
The vehicle carrying Kenji Osawa has been blown up.
Mr. Vice President,
I think we should raise the alert level to DEFCON 3.
Gentlemen?
We cannot proceed with the rescue operation without the antiviral.
I propose that we proceed with Plan B.
Is that our only option?
Mr. Ho is currently in charge of the People's Liberation Army, isn't he?
Yes, Sir.
Get me the Chinese Ambassador.
If you keep stalling, the Seventh Fleet will blockade the entire maritime area of Taiwan!
So that's the real face of "Love and Peace"!
I'm sure you can hear me, you dirty terrorists!
What are your demands?
We won't be able to resolve anything unless we know what each other wants!
Tell me,
why are you guys spreading the Ua virus?
Did you really forget?
So a deceitful girl like you is her "Canaan"?
Canaan...?
Are you cold yet, Mr. President?
The Vice-Minister over there should start to smell by now,
so I cranked up the air conditioning for you.
So you finally feel like talking, do you?
Who are you people?
We're just terrorists of humble origins.
Unfortunately, I don't have time for friendly chit-chat.
What did you say?
In a few hours, all of you will exhibit symptoms of the Ua virus and die.
But it seems like your ever so capable subordinates aren't liking that idea;
they apparently want their proud president to go out with a bang.
D-Don't tell me...
That's right.
The stealth bombers that your country is so proud of
left Guam about two hours ago.
Carrying two thousand pounds of guided bombs, that is.
It can't be!
It's all over.
It's all over!
I'll leave you to enjoy the terminal stage of the virus.
But wait, you've all lived such insignificant lives;
I'm sure there's more than enough time left for you to reflect.
W-Wait!
Hold on!
Once upon a time, there lived an unfortunate mercenary
who twice agreed to take this same job.
He was to train a girl, who couldn't even hold a gun, into a fine soldier.
And what a useless job that was.
This is where the "unfortunate" part kicks in:
he decided to call both of his students by the same name.
What are you to Canaan?
That's a funny question to ask.
My name is also Canaan.
Though I've long abandoned that name.
"No matter what happens in this world,
we cannot bow to the face of terror."
That was the will of our proud president.
Then there is only one path for us to take.
I'm sure their names will forevermore be engraved in the gravepost of anti-terrorism.
I hereby authorize the bombing.
I wonder what will happen.
Will she hit rock bottom after failing to rescue you or stop the bomb?
Or will she be able to overcome all obstacles
and stand in my way again?
I'd say the latter's looking more likely at the moment.
Miss Alphard, it's time.
Yeah.
Wait!
Both of you need to struggle together until the very end.
Both of us?
The Chinese government has dispatched the Special Ops division of the MPS...
Kenji Osawa has been killed.
Looks like White House has depleted all of its options
and is going for its last resort strategy.
That's impossible!
This is going to start a war!
The Chinese government isn't a monolith either.
I bet this is the chance that the Shanghai clique has been dying for.
Damn it.
The entire world has gone mad, I tell you.
Hey!
Can I still use that room?
Shanghai Pudong International Airport
You really haven't been using it, huh?
I haven't touched it since the NSA installed it here without asking
when we were working with them.
I can't exactly throw it away as trash either.
This model's from a generation ago,
but I think I can manage with this.
Are you okay, Maria?
Canaan, listen...
We should be able to contact the people on the outside now.
Let's go.
Wait!
There are people underground that have been infected with the Ua virus!
With the Ua?
And apparently bomber planes are headed this way.
I don't really know what's going on, but...
I finally got a hold of you.
Please tell me you have a good idea.
I see you're caught up with the status quo.
Now please tell me your current location.
There's a lot of monitors here.
That's the main control room.
Perfect.
I'm going to connect to the network over there, so please hold on.
What are you planning to do?
I'm going to hack in to the US Army's NAVSTAR satellite.
Let me go!
You guys are persistent, aren't you?
Yes, the suspicious man is now—
Roger that.
Fall back; I repeat, fall back.
What's going on?
There's still people inside the convention center...
Maybe they're being abandoned.
Come on, let go!
Why are you grabbing me? Let go!
Come on, we're going to do it in "high tension"!
I'll have you know...
that I was born to go "high tension"!
Let's go.
Miss Alphard,
what about Miss Liang-qi?
We don't have time for her.
Are you just going to leave her be?
No.
I'm throwing her to the wolves.
This is truly interesting.
I've connected to the remote network.
I'm now sending you the information that I'm hacking from NAVSTAR.
Um...
What should I load from here?
It's something you've been effectively using from your cellphone just a while ago.
GPS?
Correct.
I'll try to remove as much of the barrier as I can from here.
But we won't be able to squeeze out the final numbers until after this.
Nothing you've told me so far has made sense, by the way.
Basically, even if we cause an interference and disable their GPS,
the bombs still have their ILS guidance system,
which will only offset their course by up to thirty meters.
We have to completely change the target of the missiles.
So what am I supposed to—
I thought this was a no-fly zone.
Mr. Vice President,
it's Kenji Osawa!
That's impossible!
He's supposed to be dead!
Canaan?
They're here.
God...
Stop the bombing!
What's going on?!
They dropped it.
They dropped the bomb!
There should still be approximately forty-five seconds until impact.
Please concentrate.
Canaan...
I can make it!
Osawa...
Osawa!
Canaan?
Canaan!
Are you all right?
Pull yourself together!
Maria...
What happened to the bomb?
Well, since we're alive...
Canaan!
Canaan, Canaan, Canaan!
You're amazing; you really are!
What did you do?
All I did was find the trigger.
I admit it was a crude way of doing it though.
Um, I don't understand what that means,
but you're still amazing!
It missed?
The GPS guidance system was disrupted by something right before impact,
so it didn't score a direct hit.
It blew up fifty meters away from the impact point instead.
I don't know if I should be happy that we missed.
That's right, failure is unacceptable.
We should have finished it in one shot because it's unacceptable.
Call back the bombers.
It's over.
You're quite a woman, aren't you?
But what merit is there to this kind of volunteer work?
It's to face my past.
Let me ask you a question:
If you just run away from your past and keep running,
do you think there will be true forgiveness waiting for you ahead?
"Do as I like"?
I can't do that, Nee-sama.
I can't just stop at simply "liking" you anymore.
Love...
Love cannot be stopped.
The sun, wind, and oxygen!
I'm alive!
Canaan?
The colors...
I can't see the colors.
No, these are the real... colors?

It's not broken.
It's not here.
It doesn't exist.
Sorry.
