Little Jonah, wrong spot!
S-Sorry!
Do it again!
Oh, sorry!
R?
Do you know Book Man? He's CIA.
Yeah, I know him!
I met him in Bosnia when
I was with the Italian army.
Oh, is this about what those hitmen said?
They mentioned something
or other about the CIA.
No, Book Man just came up in some rumors.
I think they're two unrelated cases.
I don't see someone ranked as
a European branch chief playing that card.
Do you know about the agent called "Hex"?
Hex is a paramilitary operations officer, a P.O.O.
Sorry, I don't know about him.
Is it some dude with a hexagonal face?
It's a woman. Hex the "Witch."
The culprit behind that dangerous group was Hex!
Are you okay with this? She's going to obstruct Operation Undershaft.
R, if you are my "right arm," then Hex is my "left arm."
She always has been, and she always will be.
My "left arm" is an unstoppable force when it comes to destroying terrorists.
If she occasionally demands a sacrifice, then I want one as well.
Give her the life...
...of a single child.
No! That is out of the question!
Of all the people, she picked Jonah!
(Baby, you know...)
(Ready, move!)
(Stand by! Yeah!)
(Five, four, three, two, one, zero, go ahead!)
The burning hot grip and my frozen vision
hoteru gurippu kouchoku no bijon
The midnight's making me sick.
hakike ga suru no midnight
You put your gun against my forehead
hitai ni juukou mukete
putting me to sleep with anger to the world.
nemure sekai shousou
Where is God? There's no way out.
where is god deguchi wa nai
orokamono dreamlike utagau wa
I suspect it's like a fool's dream
Let's embrace the black and white
dakiau yo black and white
bokura wa nani wo yume miteite
What is this dream we're having?
(Ready!)
(3...)
(Right now!)
(2...)
(Stand by!)
(1...)
This gunshot reminds me that judgment day begins tonight!
'cause I loathe people like you.
We'll break the fake blue sky.
itsuwari no aozora wo yabutte
dareshimo umare shinu dake nara
If we're merely living from the cradle to the grave,
I will put my trust
only one shinjitai
houkai kara umareru ashita wo
in the only possible future, born after the apocalypse.
You ready? Brace yourself!
Hi! R?
I was walking around town with Jonah.
Right. We're pretty close to the hotel.
Thank you for your scheduled check-up call, R!
You sound winded. Are you okay?
I was on my morning jog.
Later.
You're going to offer her Jonah's life?
Don't give me that!
Listen, you damn saw.
If you let her kill him, you'll be flushing Operation Undershaft down the drain!
I don't follow. What's your reasoning?
Why did Koko Hekmatyar take Jonah in?
Why did Koko Hekmatyar invite a kid into her unit?
Despite being a utilitarian, she intentionally upped the risk factor.
No matter how strong this former boy soldier may be, it's unnatural!
Assuming you're right, what of it?
He's her shackle! The Little Lady made Jonah her limiter.
Wing Commander Simunek, good morning.
Right. No, the pleasure is mine.
Thank you for having me today.
Sir? Right this minute?
I'd love to!
Or so I'd like to say, but I'm dressed for walking around town.
Huh?
Are you sure?
I got invited out to tea.
You should contact everyone if we're taking a detour.
Her shackle?
Right! In other words, the Little Lady plans to snap if she ever loses Jonah.
She has some big plans down the road that only she knows about.
By inserting the life of a child who can only survive through fighting,
she has created a "path of resignation"
that allows her to abandon life as an arms dealer, her plans and everything!
Underneath her iron mask, the Little Lady is as weak a girl as any her age.
Don't share your fantasies.
That isn't information, R.
Don't let Undershaft, the arms dealer, make you dance to her tune.
I'll admit, it's just too much fun hanging out with these guys.
But really,
you're the one who most wants to dance with the Little Lady, Saw.
"I don't want her to become a monster," huh? Don't lie!
You're dying to see how her plan pans out!
Well said, kiddo.
Chief Black is laughing?
Please, Saw! Tell me Hex's location!
I suppose I must.
She is 2.5km southeast of your hotel in Praha B Market.
A unit with ten heavily armed soldiers is hiding there.
This is an irregular operation under Hex's authority.
The operation has already begun.
Koko Hekmatyar's trip to this country for a commission
from a Czech Air Force officer is all part of the trap.
I'll stop the operation.
I'm sending information to the Czech police.
Oh, R! Mornin'! Out on a morning jog?
What about you, Lutz? You'll get sluggish if you slack off.
I do my exercises!
I'm going back out in a minute. I'm off duty.
Roger that!
The dog...
Isn't this weather nice?
Target is in sight.
Roger. In that case, let's get the ball rolling.
Don't let your guard down just because he's a kid.
Like the police could stop the paramilitary!
Should I call the Little Lady? Tell her, "Don't go over there!"
She'd find out that I'm a spy.
If you are my "right arm," then Hex is my "left arm."
But she's a left arm that doesn't listen to you!
This is my chance to eliminate a threat.
If I'm going to blow my cover, I'll do it after I kill Hex!
It'll mean having to leave everyone, but it can't be helped!
Koko.
This is bad.
Contact everyone. There are some freaks in the crowd.
We're surrounded!
Got it, Jonah. Until Lehm and the others arrive, we'll hide in—
Just because you're in a crowd doesn't mean you're safe.
Who the hell are you?!
Take this!
Jonah!
What was that?!
Didn't I tell you? Don't let your guard down.
Jonah! Jonah!
Get down, Koko!
Brat, you're pretty good to have taken down Botts!
Beat it!
Hey, don't move! You're—
You're in my way.
R!
Little Lady, hide behind a car!
Damn it! Gimme my guns!
Jonah, here are your guns.
So soon? Another one has already shown up.
I hadn't quite anticipated that.
Little Lady!
I'm Book Man's agent. I'm a spy.
Sorry, Little Lady.
After I kill Hex, I'll leave your unit.
I'll be out of your sight, Little Lady.
No... R!
Battle has broken out in the city!
Renato...
Hex... Hex!
This way!
Jonah!
Don't let them escape! Cut around them.
Did you see that man? Think he's "R the Hottie"?
Yes. I have no doubt that was R.
Let's sink him. Then they won't be able to pull back.
Snipers A: Powell and Styles. Snipers B: Godunov and Rickman.
Your target is R. Sni—
Die, ya moron!
He's tough! To think there are eight more just like him.
But knowing them, they can win!
Little Lady, please use this.
Koko! Koko!
Jonah!
I-I can't move... It mushta been dat shot.
Ferget 'bout me. Run fer it...
Jonah!
Saw, help us!
Abort that operation immediately!
Hex, that's an order.
I'm terribly sorry, but we can't stop now!
I must say, Chief Black,
this operation was never meant to be aborted to begin with.
Operation Undershaft? A plan to make her your puppet?
While hunting Koko down, I came to realize something.
She will become a monster.
Do you want to dance with a monster, Chief Black?
I assure you: Operation Undershaft will fail.
All because you misunderstand Koko.
You think so?
I don't care what you think. That gunfire is aimed at "me."
Watch yourself.
Saw, please move this silver sedan.
Hack that car's smart key!
One more thing. Please lead Lehm and the others here.
I have already taken care of that with an anonymous call.
R-R, it's okay if you're a spy. I won't tell the others, so...
Silly! What's gotten into you, Little Lady? Get a grip!
Hurry and take Jonah to a hospital. You got that?
Are we shooting him or not? Which is it, Hex?
Jonah, let's go!
Bastard!
H-He got Ico!
The car's moving?! What's going on here, Hex?!
We're up against ten. There are bound to be snipers.
Hit them with all you've got!
R, what about you?
I'll take advantage of the chaos when the others arrive and hightail it.
Later, Koko Hekmatyar. Let's meet again!
Just kidding.
Go, Little Lady!
I see. So that's the deal, R.
R!
Oh, you're quite the babe!
Bring it on, Hex! I'll put your skills to the test!
Guys...
It's their car! Fire—
Snipers A: Clear.
Snipers B: Clear.
Y-You gave them the snipers' locations?
You'd do that — you'd go that far — to crush my determination, Chief Black?
This wasn't about vengeance in the least.
I merely did what I thought was best for our nation.
Koko Hekmatyar will most certainly become a monster that threatens our land.
When she chomps down on you, I hope you remember these words!
Hex, we're down to three survivors. It's just us.
Your orders, Hex!
We're retreating.
You did a good job protecting Koko and Jonah,
but it hurts to lose you, R.
Koko, R is dead.
I see. For now, group up, guys...
Jonah is okay. Later.
R...
This is HCLI Headquarters.
You're tracking her, aren't you?
Yes, ma'am. It is proceeding smoothly, Koko-san.
Don't let her escape.
If you do, I'll send all of your heads flying.
Echo said, "You should always have a smile on."
"It's hard to tell what you're thinking, Little Lady."
"Are you hiding your thoughts behind a smile?"
R said, "That isn't necessary."
Then, what should I do?
Whatever you do, you're always wonderful.
I'm an arms dealer! How the hell am I wonderful?!
I'm sorry, Valmet.
You are wonderful, Koko.
You will realize some big dream. That's the feeling I get from you.
That's why... That is why R risked his life to protect you.
Don't you feel that way as well?
Come on, Koko. Let's get to work.
Valmet, welcome back from the hospital!
Thank you very much.
But, uh, Koko? Why have you been groping me non-stop?
I'm totally okay with it if it's you, Koko, but...
I'm imitating R!
Why? I am justice, so why must I hide in this cellar
and tremble in pain? Why?!
I am justice...
We're back, Hex. We brought food and fresh bandages for—
That sound!
It's a B-52! It's a bomber from our country!
I truly pissed you off, didn't I, Koko Hekmatyar?
Very well.
Let's fight again in Hell.
It's over.
Jonah, even you bought some flowers!
R protected both of us. That's amazing.
Sure is.
Thank you, R.
Koko-san!
A pleasure to meet you, Miss Hekmatyar.
I didn't bring any flowers or the like. I hate getting mushy. Sorry.
My, my. If it isn't Chief Black of the NCS's European Department.
Are you alone? Are you unarmed?
I'm unarmed. Do I look like I'm capable of any gun action?
You may call me "Book Man." Other names include "Adeeb" and "Burattinaio."
I have a wide variety of nicknames, but I will not let you call me "Saw."
You have my gratitude for blanketing the firefight in Praha.
Forget it; that was nothing. You don't feel that way anyway.
Still, I'm amazed you found this place.
This is a nice spot, isn't it?
Right, Renato?
Shackle, huh?
Excuse me?
It is impossible to find a P.O.O. who is hiding in earnest.
Hide in fear of Hex's shadow as you carry on with your work like before.
You're right. I'll do just that.
I shall be taking my leave now.
Koko Hekmatyar, how many rockets have you shot up?
Beats me. Farewell, Book Man.
So that's Book Man. He looks like he's a bother.
It was more fun hanging out with me, wasn't it?
Especially when we'd hold drinking parties.
Thank you and goodbye, R. Let's meet again.
massara no tsubasa wo hitokakera te ni totte
I pick up a fragment of those brand new wings,
giniro no uwazara he
and put it on a silver scale.
henka shiteiku toruku
The torque is changing.
sashidasu no wa shinzou utsurigi de
It presents us with an unstable heart
dochira ni mo somari kirenakatta
As if smiles and tears were mixed
emi to namida ga mazatta you na
but couldn't be dyed together.
maiagaru saigo no hane
The last feathers whirl up into the sky,
shizuka ni ochiru
and silently drop off of it,
kage wo nokoshita mama
leaving nothing but a shadow.
soushite tenbin wa nido to katamuku koto wa naku
And thus, the scale will never balance again.
tabi no hate ni aru darou ka
I wonder if at the end of the trip,
shoutei ni nita shinjitsu no basho ga
there's a small garden-like place holding the truth.
Hello. What is it?
Book Man, are you alone right now? Keep calm and listen to this.
You should calm down.
There was an air raid!
Koko Hekmatyar bombed the mountains in northern Iraq!
We haven't verified anything yet, but an identified heavy bomber hit the area.
It hit hard enough to flatten the mountains!
According to someone from the area, there were three casualties.
Hex and the others are dead!
I wound up losing both of my arms.
That damn embodiment of violence!
She has created a "path of resignation"
that allows her to abandon life as an arms dealer, her plans and everything!
Is the lady we've targeted really the type to do that?
Operation Undershaft will fail.
All because you misunderstand Koko.
Now, now. Just you sit back and watch.
I swear I'll make the Little Lady dance until she's gasping for breath!
Really, I had wanted to become a soldier and fight along side you guys.
My, is that right? But I think you were right not to do that.
I'm starting to think that the method I use to fight
in my current post isn't all that different.
Well, my dream of being a soldier went down the drain
after I took a serious injury to the back after graduating
from Annapolis Naval Academy and joining the marines.
No surprise there! You aren't suited for that kind of stuff.
Shut up!
Kasper and Jonah
