Doctor, please duck for cover!
Counterattack! Shoot them down!
Dr. Elena Baburin has been abducted.
In Caucasus Republic J at 18:00 by their time,
an unknown armed group commenced fire. The entire guard team was annihilated.
In fact, Dr. Baburin was abducted a few years ago.
She has been confined to Republic J's military research facility.
She is a physicist and an authority on quantum optics.
(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.

Where is God? There's no way out.
where is god deguchi wa nai

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!)

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

If we're merely living from the cradle to the grave,
I will put my trust

in the only possible future, born after the apocalypse.
You ready? Brace yourself!
Kansai International Airport
Well, we're going to be a bit busy as of today!
We're taking a business trip around the world!
Jonah looks even more grumpy than usual.
It's because we got the bullet in his
butt removed at the hospital.
But don't you hate getting stopped by
the metal detectors in every gate?
C'mon, Jonah! Cheer up! Let's go, go!
East Osaka
Sir!
Kisaragi Photochemical Engineering
Sir, phone call for you!
Kisaragi Photochemical Engineering
Okay!
I'm heading out for a bit.
Hiro, are you going into town? Grab some ice cream.
Okay, President!
Hot! I'm gonna die!
Why the heck is this country so hot during September?
I've never endured heat quite like this before!
"Hekmatyar has been behaving strange lately."
"Follow her and don't get caught!"
Those were the orders. The future looks bleak.
Koko-chan's unit knows what I look like, so shadowing them is no easy task.
But yeah, I'll do it. It's my forte.
And I'm confident I won't get caught.
But dang, he's a slave driver!
The combo of sizzling hot fried octopus and juice in this heat...
...is just too good!
I'm on my third round!
If I follow Koko-chan around, I might get a gourmet tour around the world!
That bimbo! I have this gut feeling she's going to eat instead of work!
Dang, she is one rich lady!
What?
Koko Hekmatyar's assets are in the form of government bonds and stocks,
but two years ago she started trading them in for cash.
She's been taking it slow and steady.
She has made it hard to see where the exchanges were held
or follow the flow of her profits from the sale.
By route of various paper companies and private Swiss banks,
she has been wiring money under the guise of financing the German chain, Märchen.
It stops at Märchen's second factory in South Africa.
What about the bank HCLI has invested in, Hekmat-IB?
There is no indication that she has used it so much as once.
She's even keepin' this a secret from HCLI!
Will Kasper or Floyd catch on?
I sincerely doubt they have yet.
Not unless they've dug into her records and taken a look-see.
Besides, why would anyone pool all of their assets in a toy factory?
The one thing I'm sure about
is that Märchen's second factory is not manufacturing toys.
The cash inflow is comparable to cutting-edge military bases.
She truly is an arms dealer.
She's acting just like the villain she is! Gettin' all sneaky!
But she's still a full lap ahead of us.
It'll be too late by the time we find out what her game is.
Now that it's come to this, I'll resort to using Book Man if I must!
I'll catch up! I'll catch up to the suffocating smell of money!
You better not mess with the Scarecrow!
It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kisaragi.
The pleasure is mine, Miss Hekmatyar.
Thank you for coming all of the way over here despite the heat.
Your Japanese is quite impressive.
Is it? In this line of work, knowing Japanese is a must.
Hey, Chief. Hasn't the Little Lady been getting a bit aggressive lately?
Are you referring to the job with Dr. Baburin, Lutz?
I thought it looked like you had something on your mind.
Did you think we fought for justice or something like that?
The missions down the path Koko walks are going to
require us to take drastic measures more often than not.
It is our job to support Koko. We silently obey her.
Actually, you've got some nerve to complain about Koko around me, Lutz!
I'll grant your wish and—
You asked for my opinion knowing I might say that.
I imagine you want a different answer.
I will give it some careful thought, so I can find a satisfactory answer for you, Lutz.
But I believe in Koko.
I recommend that Kisaragi Photochemical Engineering Corporation
allots its stock to a third party.
Issue ten million new shares and make me your largest stockholder.
Thank ya so much, Ms. Hekmatyar!
You have saved our business so we may continue with the project.
Unfortunately, I expect our long-time shareholders
and the banks we've cut deals with to show some resistance.
The stock isn't going to improve for a company in the red.
Please accept my investment, continue your project,
and reorganize your business administration.
If you do, your current stockholders will give their approval.
If necessary, I can provide you with a pro at restructuring companies.
I am able to see the value of the future
that you and your father have made.
Quantum dot photonic crystal nano-devices...
Do whatever it takes to start manufacturing that project.
I will!
I already know where I want them delivered.
Osaka, Taipei, Shanghai, Singapore, and America, huh?
They sure are a busy lot.
Oh, if it isn't Mr. Hinoki! Long time no see.
Yeah, I see you are doing well, Miss Hekmatyar.
I apologize for not making an appointment, but I needed to see you.
Do you have a moment?
Okay, sure thing! Let's go inside one of the restaurants.
Hey, Miss Hekmatyar!
You like fast food, don't you? I was confident you'd pick this place.
Everyone, lunch is on this big shot right here!
Yay!
Huh? For real?
That's going to cost around $2,000...
Oh, well. Take a seat! You too, former Colonel Hinoki.
Jonah, order anything you like. The hamburgers here are super-good!
And get a shake, too.
Your table's a mess!
How is it, Jonah?
It's good.
I see the NSA calls on you rather frequently, ex-Colonel Hinoki.
Is it about the incident with Kasper?
I won't hold it against you, so go back to the Bahamas.
You'll get burned if you only half-heartedly hang out with this crowd.
So this is George Black, Chief of the NCS's European branch.
That was a crude greeting for an official!
I merely came to offer advice on how to respond to the Hekmatyar Global GRID.
I'm already done. I had already planned on going home.
And how will they respond to it?
Beats me.
I'm relieved to hear you say you were here for regarding Hek-GG.
It's just like the NSA to be so far behind, as well as focusing on an irrelevant topic.
Right now, what needs our attention the most is that Little Lady.
No, it's a real pain so don't keep your eyes on me.
Don't be that way!
Lately, HCLI has been doing things to upset the military.
The NSA won't do anything about it, but it has me worried.
My operation is meant to protect you.
Really, does everyone in your field see everything as a conspiracy?
I can't believe you'd call that an operation!
Yeah, it does. This world is made of conspiracies.
I don't even have time for sleep because people like you with power and money
sneak around the underworld.
As a result, I never miss out on a meal.
You've been making some bold moves lately.
Like in Caucasus or with your assets.
Osaka, Taipei, Shanghai, and Singapore...
I imagine you're in transit from Washington to Miami.
We stepped over the first line a long time ago. Both of us did.
If we cross the second line, you'd lose some of your support.
The second line is, "The destruction of order."
Stay away from the enclave.
Jeez! Everything this guy says is in code. Isn't he hard to follow, Jonah?
Uh-huh.
Was checking out that boring info like a peeping Tom
related to your "protecting order"?
What are you protecting, Book Man?
In a world where everything may be on a downward slope, what is "order"?
This is just hypothetical.
If a new world came, you could not participate in the happy celebration.
You see this world order as just and must protect it.
Anyone who threatens it is an enemy.
Otherwise you will become a monstrous criminal
who has threatened and deceived his family, neighbors, countrymen, and the world.
Fascinating...
Go ahead and show me this new world.
Like I said, that was just hypothetically speaking.
Has ex-Colonel Hinoki returned to the Bahamas?
No, he has postponed his trip by two days and has just left the Dulles Airport.
It looks like he took the bait.
Don't lose sight of the Little Lady.
Despite having said that,
if my guess is right, we will definitely lose track of her and her men
after they arrive in the Miami International Airport.
I lost track of... Koko-chan and the others!
They vanished while I was buying the local speciality, stone crab salsa tacos!
I need to report in!
Okay, got it. Stay on standby.
Huh? Aren't you gonna chew me out?
If my guess is right, it'd be impossible to track them after they hit Miami.
They're probably going out to sea. She's a pro on the ocean.
Yeah...
Forget it! Go stare at the ocean and eat some tacos until I issue your next orders!
You wanna go to Cuba, don't you?
The US navy base in Guantanamo Bay.
It's a piece of America inside of Cuba. It's an enclave.
The extreme actions Koko Hekmatyar has been taking of late
make it look like she's gathering parts.
She has offered funds to Asia's four specialty firms.
And when you combine that with Dr. Baburin's incident,
I can only think of one thing: A quantum computer.
That's science fiction.
Indeed. But, Chief, putting space travel and flying cars aside,
wouldn't you agree that our current world sounds like a sci-fi story?
But, Hopkins, there are some scholars who doubt that we will see
a next-generation computer within 20 years!
I think someone will make them soon.
Dr. Amada is a specialist in robotics engineering,
but it's not uncommon for her ideas in other fields to go into overdrive.
They met at age 18, so I don't know when this idea hit them,
but they have kept this plan a perfect secret up until now.
They are doing things that make even me suspect that they are making a quantum computer.
Wouldn't that indicate they have reached the stage
where it no longer matters if we catch on?
This is all just a theory. It's my theory.
Could you give us a better idea what would happen if she made such a computer?
Theoretically speaking, it could calculate something in a few seconds
that would take the latest supercomputer a thousand years.
All of the information on how to control our electronic devices...
It could crack that secret information and our encrypted security like an egg.
As for weapons control...
For instance, with missiles we "keep humans in the loop."
We make sure to keep a phase that requires human involvement,
but things could get sticky after it's been launched.
This really is science fiction!
Koko Hekmatyar came to the Dulles Airport, so I went to see her.
How was she?
She was just like a vixen!
Well, let's prepare for the worst so we don't get duped.
She confronted me as if to say, "I'm serious," before landing in Miami.
And then, she vanished.
Her next target is in Guantanamo.
It couldn't be! Is she after "Chatty" Rabbit's Foot?
That is the only thing that comes to mind.
But isn't he being held in Camp No, which is even tighter than Camp Delta?
That's right. I threw him in there myself.
You wouldn't like a second Julian Assange, would you?
"Chatty" Rabbit's Foot, a.k.a. Ibrahim Faiza, is an Egyptian male. Age 39.
He is a doctor of quantum physics and a political activist.
He is the organizer for an online denunciation organization.
Born to a wealthy family, he attended Cambridge University's graduate program,
where he specialized in applied mathematics and theoretical physics.
While attending school, he was socially active.
His graduation thesis was called "Social Revolution Through Information."
After that, he became a researcher for the Western Theoretical Physics Laboratory.
At the same time,
he was secretly launching an "information revolution network."
He threw the world of the net in the Middle East into chaos.
Through hacking, he would find and disclose secret deals and internal records
before vanishing without a trace, thus leading to his name Rabbit's Foot—
He's a she.
Leila Ibrahim Faiza. Rabbit's Foot is a woman. She's 28.
Care to see live footage from Camp No?
Camp No!
This is a top-secret facility where if you ask about it,
the only answer you will receive is, "No, there is no such place."
What?!
I'm bored of my Segway. Let's go play a game.
That is Rabbit's Foot.
She is being held under abnormal circumstances for a different incident.
This is top secret.
Global Hawk is passing above Märchen's second factory.
Let's take a look at that as well.
Oh, this is one of those open-air baths!
You're using the latest UAV to peep?!
The bodyguard, Karen Lo.
Dr. Minami Amada.
Who is that blond?
Maybe it's Dr. Elena Baburin... Think she might look up?
Don't these women seem like a fox, a raccoon and a rabbit in human skin?
What?! Koko did what?
I can't hear you! Talk louder!
Koko went to America and vanished before dropping by the main branch?
So what?
Was that really worth a phone call from the main branch?
I'm busy, so can I hang up now?
Of course Koko wouldn't drop by the main branch!
What makes you say that, Kasper?
It's obvious! She hates Floyd-san and doesn't want to be anywhere near him.
You might think that's immature of her, but I think that's perfectly appropriate.
That phone call wasn't really about why she didn't drop by the main office.
They were probably just nervous about having her in America.
I can't say anything when it comes to Floyd.
He's the man who threw his own children into the battlefield as arms dealers.
I guarded that man for a few years after he picked me up,
but I never could understand him.
But honestly, I agree with Koko.
I really hate the direction HCLI has been going of late.
You do?
You bet! What is that Hek-GG all about?
If they package the main branch with a satellite and merchandise,
aren't they saying, "We don't need any arms dealers"?
I love my job.
And I truly enjoy traveling around the world with you, Chequita-san, and the guys.
I don't know what Koko thinks of arms dealers.
And just like my father, I don't care.
But the profession "arms dealer" will never leave the face of our world.
We start wars when it is convenient and if it isn't, we protect the peace.
Man, I'm so glad we sold a bunch of SAMs today!
Seriously. Let's have a BBQ for dinner tonight.
But of course! In fact, let's throw a party instead! A party!
Yay!
Okay, guys! That's a wrap. Let's have dinner.
'Kay!
Little Lady.
Lutz?
We're training for another abduction, aren't we?
Are we going to kidnap someone again?
Sure are. There is someone I want you to get for me.
Unhappy? Then you don't have to go on this mission.
I won't drop it.
I'm nothing great, but I am a pro. I will carry out the mission.
But I've noticed that these missions
have suffered a change in quality lately, Little Lady.
Isn't worrying about that supposed to be my job?
It would be beneficial for me to get that person they've got locked up.
In other words, the content of the job is the same as always.
But you being a former cop, I can see how this "change in quality" nags at you, Lutz.
I was expecting you to bring this up sometime soon.
For now, "Trust me!" is about all I can say.
Yeah, I trust you, Little Lady.
How about everyone else? Will you carry out this operation? Anyone oppose it?
I'll do it. It sounds interesting enough.
You know you don't have to ask me that question, Koko!
I swear I will deliver the results you desire.
Really, Lutz! Did you lose your balls when you got shot in the ass?
Naturally, I'm in!
No objections!
I am in.
As you wish.
I'm in.
Great!
Great, great, great! Now let's fill our bellies!
'Kay!
As your lamentation grows faint and disappears,
nageku koe wa kasumi okizari ni
kimi no kimi dake no kuni wo tsukutteru
I will create a nation that will be yours alone.

Hey, tell me...

And what smell does it have?

I'll take my brushes to an invisible palette

and I'll even repaint your words as we laugh.

Why can't I make out the tone of your heart,

Even if you long for us, it will not be the same.

So please, find someone else quickly.
Maryland, USA NSA Headquarters, Fort Meade Military Base
Mr. Hinoki, it is a pleasure to meet you.
I just came from Beltsville.
I am Special Chief of the Special Collections Unit GZ, Plame.
I am a naval commander.
It is a pleasure. I am Hinoki. I am merely an information consultant.
Now, now! I've heard great rumors about you.
You are Japan's one and only spymaster. It is an honor to meet you.
For you to offer Lt. Webster your counsel, you must still be active.
Lt. Webster has placed me in charge of this case, so I have come to give you my report.
This "case" is in regards to an unidentified group's planned attack
on a private facility in Guantanamo,
during which time they intend to abduct an individual that is kept top secret.
This highly reliable information came down from a certain source.
That man is behind this. Book Man!
He said that it "came down," didn't he?
Does his intelligence network reach the
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs?
Amazing! He's thrown me out of the loop in one fell swoop!
I can't touch him. The major general has created an issue I want no part of.
He gave me the bait and reeled me in! He's such a weasel!
That must be troubling. How will you deal with them?
Not that I actually expect you to tell me.
No, I am not allowed to share this information with other, but I can tell you.
Considering the parallel circumstance,
we believe that Koko Hekmatyar is closely linked to this "case."
She is targeting the quantum physicist, Rabbit's Foot,
who is being held in Camp No.
Oh, Camp No is the private facility and Rabbit's Foot is the top-secret individual.
We are going to remove Rabbit's Foot from Camp No.
This way, we can prevent any trouble from occurring around the private facility.
She will have a tight escort
and we are considering eliminating the attackers while we're at it.
As such, we have called them back from Afghanistan.
They are part of the Naval Special Warfare Command.
The SEALS, Team 9, Platoon Alpha.
Night Nine.
