Hello? Good afternoon. This is Tojo Akihiko.
What's up? Dang, it's been ages!
Please pull out of the case concerning
Kasper's Southeast Asian route.
HCLI is taking measures to destroy the SR Unit.
Mr. Hinoki called Tojo late
last night and sent me an e-mail.
The location is the Umihotaru's parking area.
Finding them will prove hard
if we miss the opportunity.
Commence the operation!
May I take a look at your proposal?
Mr. Kasper, thank you very much!
In that case, I brought some papers with me.
Kasper, why are you spacing out? She's an assassin.
The SR Unit is attacking us.
Tojo! Tojo, your guess was way off!
But they're just parrying me.
Colonel Hinoki needs to put up more of a fight.
Whatever.
Kill them. Kill them.
(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!
Hey, Tojo.
Why did you stop working for the SR Unit and Kasper?
What's up? That came out of nowhere.
So much for the unspoken rule of not asking stuff like that.
Well, I'll tell you why I don't quit this job.
Which will it be? The serious answer or the goofy answer?
The serious answer.
Because this workplace has two hot babes!
What?
Tojo, your salary for this month just went up!
Seriously? Over that?
Hey, are you serious?
Guess what, Jonah.
The ocean rests on top of this tunnel.
For real? That's awesome!
It's called an "undersea tunnel."
So Jonah still likes tunnels more than babes, huh?
Jonah!
It's like a castle on the ocean!
Okay, guys. We're here.
'Kay!
Let's park deeper in, Ugo. Deeper.
Roger.
Okay, stick to the plan. I'm counting on you, Jonah.
Got it. I'll go look for him.
Koko-san!
I can't get a hold of Hino-san.
Just keep calling him.
Jonah, have you reached the meeting place yet?
This smells fishy. Exercise caution.
Got it.
OPEN
I've reached the restaurant.
Koko, this is bad!
No one is here.
Return to the car immediately, Jonah!
Lehm, do you copy? We fell for Colonel Hinoki's trap!
Lehm! Lehm!
Get in the car, Koko-san!
That's...
Commencing the operation, Colonel!
Yeah, feel free to cut loose.
The Jakarta squad succeeded with their mission!
Sir!
We are apparitions. Nothing can stop us.
Get in the car and go! It's them!
Tojo?!
I'll follow you after I pick up Jonah!
The traitor is running your way, Kaburagi!
Tojo-san, huh?
Crap!
What's that?
Kaburagi!
You damn traitor...
Wow!
Are they making a movie?
I never betrayed you!
They even have a foreign kid!
Don't be stupid! You're the ones who went berserk!
Where are the cameras?
This is frigging realistic!
Jonah, did you get hurt?
I'm fine.
The attack has started. We're going to steal a car and catch up with Koko-san.
You got hit? Are you okay?
Yeah, but it freaking hurts!
Koko! Koko!
Jonah, are you okay?
Tojo got shot.
Wh-What?!
I'm fine! I'll be okay, Koko-san.
I just pulled out with a stolen car after hooking up with Jonah.
What's your situation?
We're sticking with the plan and heading toward Kawasaki.
As far as I can see, there are two enemy vehicles.
Where are you? The police are setting up a barricade at the tunnel entrance.
Be careful!
Where are you? Please don't shoot us!
Those bastards! They're filling my baby full of holes!
It sounds like they broke through the bulletproof plates!
We're in the clear once we exit this tunnel!
Hang in there!
Roger!
Damn, this hurts!
Sorry. I only had some rubber tape on hand.
Hey, now. This isn't your fault, Jonah.
I'm just happy we were able to stop the bleeding.
Are you all set?
We're going to slip past the SR Unit's two cars.
Nail them from the side!
Sure thing.
Pick up, Hino-san! You owe me an explanation.
Tojo's coming! Force them into one lane!
To the right!
Okay!
It's strong!
Help them!
Car #2!
There's the exit! Head toward the Bayshore Route!
It's okay! We can make it!
Crushed!
Yay!
All right!
There could be more of them. Don't drop your guard!
Did they hit you, Jonah?
Nope. Tojo, are you okay?
Yeah.
Say, I can hear a voice coming from that phone.
Hello?
Hello? Hino-san?!
Just how long were you going to make me wait after I picked up?
I was seriously about to hang up.
Where the heck are you?
If I told you, everything would be for naught.
Colonel Hinoki! What the hell do you think you're doing?!
HCLI's prowess and the SR Unit's prowess...
The outcome was obvious, but this is nonetheless what they wanted.
So I granted their wish.
Behold. This is the battle you so longed for.
Hey! Where are the Cuban agents?!
Why are we the only ones here?
Did you give them a false rendezvous point?
They'll be executed for sure if the army finds them!
Tojo, can't you see how this is going down?! Get on!
Say something, Hino-san!
Sorry for the wait! I'm the last one, aren't I?
Please get this boat going!
Kurosaka, why you...
What was that? Are you sulking?
Read the situation, Tojo-san.
What is the one thing we must not do on this mission?
We cannot leave any Japanese corpses here.
It would undermine everything.
A secret intelligence agency? The SR Unit? What a joke.
What was our operation?
To infiltrate a Communist country and assassinate their military leaders?
When did this unit turn into Omega or Gorgon?
Turning chicken?
No surprise there. He was originally in the Central System Admin.
He was a geek!
And before that, wasn't he in the Northern Army's Electric Warfare Unit?
Who's saying that? Cut it out.
I'm sick of this.
Even now, I think I gave up on them too quickly.
I left the SR Unit the same day we reached Jakarta.
I was surprised by how readily Hino-san accepted my resignation.
They didn't ry to stop me like you'd expect from a secret agency.
What should I do? I might as well grab a bite to eat.
I was a former JSDF officer that had supposedly "died in an accident"
only to quit my undercover job. I had become truly unemployed.
Hey!
Twenty minutes later, I had a new job.
I was afraid people would assume we had some secret deal.
This is what it means when someone "can't read the situation."
You damn traitor...
Unlike people, organizations change easily.
People change easily enough, Kasper.
They're flimsy.
That's what I've begun to think of late.
He was called Japan's top spy. He had worked hard to develop his agency.
This man was as solid as a rock.
But Colonel Yousuke Hinoki abandoned everyone in that agency
and fled to save himself.
The Bahamas!
Blue skies! White sand!
To think he ran to the tax haven of the Bahamas!
This is just like a spy movie.
Koko-san?
Did he end up not making it to the Bahamas after all?
Ouch! I just got that patched up from getting shot! That hurt!
You're the only one here with a sour expression, Tojo.
We actually managed to pinpoint where Japan's one and only spymaster fled!
Look alive! Feel proud!
I won't get in your way when we catch up to him,
but you will have to bear the consequences of your own actions.
You know, Koko-san,
we may have been dancing on the palm of Hino-san's hand this whole time.
Oh, you didn't cry! Good girl!
I'm not going to cry!
Awesome! Look at that, Tojo.
Jonah instantly made friends with a girl he's never seen before!
Jonah, go play with that girl.
Okay...
I'm impressed you were able to find me here, Tojo.
How many years has it been since I saw you in person?
Not since our operation in Cuba?
Like you'd ever forget the hour, day, month, and year we held that operation.
It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Koko Hekmatyar.
I am the former SR Unit's director, Hinoki.
I'm sorry to hear that my subordinates deviated from my orders and attacked you.
Did you suffer any damages?
It's a pleasure, ex-Colonel Yousuke Hinoki.
The damages were light. To be specific,
he took two bullets to the shoulder and one car got demolished.
That's about it.
I'm sure you have some catching up to do. I'll take my leave.
Jonah, let me play with you!
That's it? After you attacked her?
It's simple. Profitability took precedence.
I can't complain. I had my men attack Japan and Jakarta simultaneously.
Did you receive a "thank you" call from Kasper?
Report what happened after the attacks, Tojo.
I was busy fleeing Japan, so I only know what hit the world news.
They completely downplayed our firefight.
Junkies fired some guns and went on a joy ride.
They got in a wreck and went up in flames. There were zero civilian casualties.
Corpses for a bunch of supposedly dead JSDF officers suddenly turned up.
The squad in Jakarta received similar treatment.
Even a monkey would know better than to let this go public.
The SR Unit is no more.
I've never seen Kasper in such high spirits before.
I'm sure.
I misjudged you.
Everything proceeded the exact opposite of what I had anticipated.
Why did you desert the SR Unit?
It was opposite of what you expected
because I anticipated what you would think and did the opposite.
I never deserted them.
"I want to fight with weapons in hand." I made their dream become reality.
At the same time, you made Kasper and Koko-san's come true as well... Correct?
As well as my own.
If I were to confess my one regret...
It's that I couldn't keep the organization from changing.
The SR Unit supported itself through buying and selling weapons,
but they brought about change.
Is your unit holding up okay?
To change subjects, "the bird makes a clean break as it flies away."
It means to leave without creating problems when you quit.
Not that it works that way.
The bird that flies away remains in the hearts of the others and confuses them.
Those who can't comprehend why he left will view that bird as a traitor.
And those that want to fly away with him but can't
will envy the bird with all their being.
I expected you to come crying back to me 20 minutes after you quit, but I was wrong.
Out of everyone in our unit,
you have the most experience traversing the world of violence.
Isn't it ironic?
Have you caught on? In the end, everyone in the SR Unit...
...was jealous of you, Tojo.
Well, then. It's about time I went home.
Thank you for your report.
You discovered my location.
I had considered skipping town again, but that doesn't seem necessary.
Come back again.
I'm never coming back.
Mana, we're going home.
Okay, Dad!
Thank you very much for playing with me.
He has a sham marriage with a Thai woman.
He's shrouded in lies!
Bye-bye!
Darling! Mana! Lunch is ready.
Okay!
Oh, my. Do we have guests?
Hey, Tojo!
You will definitely come back.
When you do, I will teach you everything I know and make you a first-rate spy!
Like I said, I'm not coming back. I'm not gifted in stuff like that.
No, you are!
Aren't you the only surviving member of the SR Unit?
A first-rate spy thinks five years in advance when devising his plans.
See you around!
What's wrong, Koko-san?
Tojo, you'll be working for me for years to come.
Did you take that conversation this afternoon seriously?
You're working for me!
Ouch! It hurts when you hit me there! I'll work for you! I will!
You mean it?!
Ouch! That hurts! I said that hurts! Really! I really mean it!
You mean it?!
Honest! For real! I mean it!
I'm holding you to that!
Okay, okay! I got it! I'll be sure...
