Doctor Amada Minami, also known as Doctor Miami.
You can be sure that the military will want whatever she's making.
She's a robotics expert.
I represent the Daxinghai company from Hong Kong. My name is Chang.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Our mission is to secure the target, Doctor Miami.
If we see someone threatening her,
we have to eliminate them.
The life of Doctor Amada...
I'll kill her guards and and let her life be the offering that avenges my men that Kaspar Hekmatyar hunted down.
Valmet?
Where do you think you're going?
Guys, cover Valmet!
Wolves aren't welcome.

So good!
These egg rolls are just too good!
I am delighted to see you like it.
The core of it is shrimp taken in the Saint Francis sea, arranged like a salad.
This raw one is crisp and soft at the same time!
There will be more.
You will be full with the hors d'oeuvre!
Let's bring the others along next time, Ugo!
Um, yeah...
Please, do help yourself.
Thank you. I'm not hungry.
I can't even swallow my own spit.
I'd love to see Jonah's reaction to this.
Oh, Ms Hekmatyar won't have any alcohol tonight.
The princess is a bad drunk.
I see, I see. Very well.
The fuck? What are they doing?
All they're talking about is booze.
Chocolade! I'm trying to record proof of black market deals here.
It's impossible to predict what people will talk about. Everyone knows that!
And the only photo I could take barely even shows her.
It's doesn't take much to know that Chang and Hekmatyar will head straight to the VIP room!
Why are my underlings always useless?
Like retarded glutton bitches who-
I'm not a retard!
Try finding someone else who could bug that room for you!
But at least you live up to your reputation.
You get mad as hell over nothing.
You're not eating? The food here's great!
Koko is right about that!
She's beyond me... How long is she gonna keep this farce up?
Pleasure to meet you.
I am Major Sophia Velmer. Ex-Major.
Those are some exotic combat techniques.
I'd like to hear more about it.
Silence is golden.
Not to worry.
Even the dead start singing when the blades dig into their flesh.
Damn, I can't sleep...
Who's playing with fireworks so late?
The noodles are done.
They will help you sleep, Doctor.
Thanks, Moko.
The fighting is getting closer, but the echos make it impossible to tell where it's coming from.
Perhaps it's the sound of Koko coming after me.
Wherever she walks, the guns start singing.
Thinking about it, it's quite funny.
She's travelling around the world picking fights with people.
There are huge sums of money involved in her line of work.
Yeah, she always says the shooting is just fallout.
Nothing good comes of it if you get involved with weapons.
If guns enter your life, regardless of whether you had a choice or not,
you are cursed and turn into one tooth of a giant cog.
That's how I imagine it.
I steel myself and say that the robots I want to make are the ones that make children happy,
but no one gives a shit.
The cogs simply crush me into dust and keep turning.
I experienced that first-hand when my AI robot doll,
Hi-Hi Pluto, aimed at 3-year-olds, was turned into a missile warhead.
That's terrible.
But then why do you keep doing business with arms dealers like the HCLI or the Daxinghai Company?
Among other reasons because I can't outrun them.
Mr Chang treats me to rice bowls.
And Koko... Her dream is-
Hey, Moko! Isn't it over-boiled?
Whoah! I'm sorry, Doctor!
Ouch! Hot!
Come on, there's no way these are still al dente...
Ms Hekmatyar, is that all right?
Yeah, the wine's great.
Your happiness lightens my spirits as well.
Please don't drink anymore...
I would most certainly like to share a few cups with your brother as well.
It's better you don't.
He eats like an American. No table manners.
Loves junk food. Not that I don't.
I had no opportunity until now to make the acquaintance of Caspar Hekmatyar.
He has taken good care of my men though. It was in Central Asia. Tajikistan.
Good, good. The booze finally makes them talk.
Doesn't what you hear worry you?
Mr Scarecrow?
Chang was supposed to be in import and export, but now he admitted to being an arms dealer!
It even sounds like he has troops he commands too.
No worries there. We're listening in for this kinda shit.
Don't wet yourself just yet.
This is small-time, you know.
We gotta stick with this crap until they get to business and gun talks.
Your way of doing business is completely different from your brother.
I realized this when I heard that you, just like me,
are trying to keep in touch with Dr Amada Minami.
Ms Hekmatyar, please do tell me about your business plans.
I can't tell you.
It would seem that our goal is the same.
Would you like to collaborate with me?
I refuse.
If something is holding you back, let me help set you free.
Your movements are a lot like those of the man who annihilated my entire squad.
I couldn't find any clues for years, and now...
Can you even imagine how it feels?
Look like I care?
Wow. Sis' real strong.
I couldn't fight like that no matter how many years I trained.
Shit! I got a bullet in my ass!
The hell are you doing, Lutz!
That's your punishment for doing nothing but watching.
But it looks like you got away with a graze.
Sis'll beat us up if we don't do our job properly.
Lehm, that's srets!
The sound of gunshots messes with their heads. That's why they're not staying behind cover.
You mean stress?
Neurosis from the gunshots makes ignore cover?
Yeah.
Only the woman leading them is used to mountain fighting.
It looks to me like they brought city guards or something.
What if we stop shooting and pretend we're dead?
I think they'd all stand up.
Then you could take them all down at once.
The guns went quiet.
Weakness means death.
Might be cruel, but that's combat.
Would it hurt to treat people like people?
She left to go to the restroom.
She might be talking with her men on the phone.
Go and find out!
Well, now that I'm here anyway...
Hey, who, what?! It's occupied!
Chocolade, huh?
Koko!
Wait, why do you know my codename?
Because I looked into the people Scarecrow works with.
Come on, why are you in here?!
We have to talk.
A warning. Pass it on verbatim if you value your life.
Lieutenant!
She dodged them all?
Your left arm is first.
You piss me off.
If you can whine, then talk!
I don't even know your name yet!
Is the pain too much for you?
I don't remember cutting your throat!
You're weak! You're too weak! You're w-
And are you strong, then?
When weaklings like you take command, their squad...
The squad...
We're pulling out of here, Valmet.
We still have a mission.
I took out their whole squad.
Jonah's plan.
Wait, Lehm!
This woman knows about my past!
And what? Are you gonna abduct and interrogate her?
We're not alley thugs.
There's no point at all.
You are exactly how I was back then.
Think it through.
Major Velmer!
Karen Low, lieutenant of the People's Liberation Army!
Remember it as the name of the one who will kill you.
I'm looking forward to that, Karen.
Man, this took long. The sun will rise soon.
You really have shit for brains, don't you?
What did Hekmatyar the bitch tell you?
My job is to take all the money of the bad guys with my iron arms of justice!
I'm not ponying up a single cent for them.
I know perfectly well that Chang is a dangerous man.
We'll get out of the Chinese district using our insurance.
He's a man who rose to power killing everyone in his way.
If you were as good as I am you'd know that just by looking.
We don't have to face that pile of explosives alone.
Shouldn't we team up with Koko?
If Koko gets killed, you won't see a single cent either!
We've got no time!
Excuse me. May I answer this?
Hello!
You have my deepest apologies.
Well then, I should like to take my leave.
Thank you for the meal!
It was entertaining.
Forgive me for imposing on you, Ms Hekmatyar.
I beg your pardon, but I cannot see you off.
Please don't worry, Mr Chang.
It was delicious. Farewell.
Two people?
There will be two American rats with them, so four critters.
Make it seem like robbers got them in the parking lot.
Roger.
Major!
Oh please, you should have tried holding it in for while longer.
Princess?
Don't worry, Ugo. Lehm and the guys won.
Koko!
Hurry, bitch!
And so we leave unhurt.
Amazing!
The Super Hind Mk5 can fly already?
It's a prototype! Just get your asses in!
They got away.
HCLI's Koko Hekmatyar...
Count me surprised, Doctor!
This basin is warm and there are lots of butterflies!
Similar, but not the right one.
I'm looking for a rumored butterfly matching my information.
But there are so many here.
Dr James can't be wrong.
Maybe false information misled him?
These are beautiful anyway.
I guess.
The whole basin is so nice!
I might even find some new races!
I found Dr Miami.
A child soldier?
Are you Koko's people?
You're a new face.
What's your name?
Seriously, Minami!
We missed each other completely!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm terribly sorry!
I told you, it's none of your fault.
I lost to the booze yesterday anyway.
You tried to stop her however you could.
But she went and vanished regardless.
I know without having been there.
So you understand?
So what is she looking for this time?
She said she's going to the beach to collect shells.
Shells.
She puts shells above me.
The basic theory was finished.
I'll kick her ass if she stands me up in half a year as well.
I'm very sorry! I'm very sorry!
You really don't have to apologize!
To the airport, Ugo.
Roger.
Seriously, Africa is beyond me.
I know just how you feel, Koko!
Valmet!
This gigantic continent is torn apart and the people live in chaos.
All of it is beyond your grasp.
Hey, Lehm! Don't smoke in the car!
Okay, okay. Sorry.
Next up is England.
Wow, there are so many! Moko!
You're right, Doctor!
So many people!
Well, not that it matters. It still hurts.
Hurts? What does, Koko?
We left our car at Chang's Chinese restaurant in South Africa.
It was a bulletproof luxury car!
I miss that car.
I see.
But with no death and only two wounded, we still got out really well.
Think of it as a sacrifice for our sake.
Wonderful!
That's a nice way of thinking, Mao!
Tell that to our famous driver too. He's been blue all morning.
He really liked that car...
Cheering him up is way harder.
Failure. The plan failed, Mao!
Hey, kid! Are you carrying anything made of metal?
If you don't show us, we can't let you on the plane. That's how it works.
I can tell you. I have a bullet in my buttocks.
It's just as he says! He's got a bullet in his ass!
Yeah! Yeah!
He's right!
He got a bullet in his buttocks from a long time ago.
Ah, I see! I understand. I thought it was a joke!
It took three explanations of your ass for them to get it!
Right, Jonah?
You're keeping us up! It's your fault because he belongs to you!
Huh? Whadyasay?!
Excuse us!
I think I just heard Koko apologizing.
If you're in such a hurry in life,
then I know of a bullet train right to the end.
Valmet, be civil with civilians!
Lehm! Why are you just watching?
Coz it's funny!
Oh, seriously...
We're just transferring planes. Can you please behave in an orderly way?
But he was impolite to you, Koko!
That's the end of the happy holidays for him. He's got bad luck.
Nice job blowing the bullet in Jonah's ass out of proportion.
You don't get it. A bullet in the ass is a serious wound!
You should just have it removed. It's a simple operation.
It doesn't hurt or anything.
I'm not afraid of the operation.
But the injections...
Afraid of injections? Are you a kid or what?
Well, guess he is.
hikari yo kotaeru mata tsumi
Light shines on my newest sin
sougon no ma ni yurameku ayamachi
and I tremble in the solemn shine
fujou shite iki wo tsuki
I resurface and draw a breath
tokasare majiru dake no tsugunai wo te ni shita
But my salvation faded all too soon
mujun haramu kono sekai no tou
This world, filled with contradictions
omoi tsukashiteru zakuro no me ni
reminds me of a bead of garnet
wataru kumo ne fushi wa mou nai
There is no rhythm in the passing of the clouds
suiheiki no tsuranuku kodou
just a chaotic ripple on the water
