Welcome, Captain Gauron. I await your orders.
Thank you, AI-kun.
Shall we start with an evacuation drill?
Give them a fire alarm and a reactor accident.
Gather all of them in the hangar.
Aye, Sir.
The sound of an alarm?
Yes, direction 1-5-8, under the thermal layer.
Let me hear it.
I'm not detecting any propulsion noise, but it is moving.
And at very high speed.
You can't hear the screws and it's high speed.
It must be the Toy Box.
Why are you so...
Never mind. Anyway, this means it has shown its true colors.
All right!
We will ambush the Toy Box. Forward one-third. Surface to depth 180.
Aye, Sir.
Forward one-third. Surfacing to depth 180.
Jack in the Box
What do you think?
We don't have enough information to judge the situation.
Is it Gauron?
We need to get some weapons.
Did you hear about the drill?
No, what's going on? It happened so suddenly.
Don't you think it's strange?
The hangar where everyone is, the torpedo launchers,
the missile launch system, and the weapons and ammunition chamber
are located in the front half of the submarine.
On the other hand, the rear half has the engine room, reactor,
living quarters, cafeteria and this central command center.
My sweetheart, Dana,
has locked all the bulkheads in the middle by my order.
Opening them from the hangar side is...
Impossible, which means...
Nobody will be able to come to the rescue.
Don't you think it's a good idea?
I don't think so.
There are AS's in the hangar.
If they make a hole in a bulkhead with the monomolecular cutter...
That's why I'm thinking about doing this.
AI-kun.
Yes, Captain.
Change the setting of the aft air supply system.
Set the oxygen concentration to the maximum.
If you do such a thing...
A spark will lead to an explosion. They'll be in pieces.
Of course, the oxygen will make them become high.
They won't be able to get such an idea.
Stop it!
Don't order me around. I'm the captain.
A high-ranking officer from the Pentagon
and a military person from somewhere...
I wonder what they're talking about?
Leave them alone. We're just letting them use our place.
I don't want to get caught up in any trouble.
Captain, we've found one of our nuclear submarines. Direction: 2-3-0.
Distance: 500. It's the Pasadena. Shall we contact it?
The Pasadena? It's Sailor's.
I don't like him. Leave him alone.
That's all you can say?
This is the trick to retiring from the Navy without any trouble.
It'll take twenty minutes to reach that point.
All right. Initiate masker.
Aye, Sir. Initiate masker.
What's the matter?
Nothing, I must be getting old.
No you're not.
It's strange.
You too?
I have a ringing in my ears.
Commander! The compartment is being filled with highly concentrated oxygen.
I can't open the doors.
What's wrong? Contact the Command Center!
We can't! All communications in the submarine are blacked out.
I need to do something. Something...
Kaname-san...
Please listen carefully to what I'm going to tell you.
Resonance?
Dana recognizes Gauron as the captain.
We can't cancel the registration with the usual procedures.
In that case, we need to get Dana back directly.
That is a key to my safe.
In there, there is another key.
The Universal Key.
The Universal Key?
Take it and look for Lady Chapel, which is Dana's heart,
in the central computer room of the third deck.
Then give me a resonance one more time.
Wait! What is Lady Chapel?
I'm not a good athlete at all. You're the only chance.
It's...
Impossible!
That bothers me.
What's with the sudden outburst?
Hey, what do you have behind you?
Show it to me.
Help me!
Kaname-san, go!
Run!
Wait!
Stop!
Little bitch! I'll kill you!
Did you hear that?
Gunshots, right?
From the direction of the Command Center.
You did pretty well, Miss.
That's all the items to confirm.
By the way, where is the Toy Box right now?
I don't understand the meaning of your question.
We know you have a submarine with frightening potential.
I'm sorry, but I don't know any of the details.
Very well, but remember who the police of the world are.
The logic of globalism is said to be a desk theory.
Once your home country collapses,
the theory will suddenly become more realistic.
Shall we go up to the bridge?
I don't feel well in such a small room.
I agree with you.
Former Captain,
I'm really angry.
But I won't kill you yet.
Instead, I thought of a penalty like this.
AI! Surface to periscope depth. Speed to five knots.
Use ESM and look for surface ships nearby.
Aye, Sir.
What are you going to do?
You'll find out soon, very soon.
What's wrong?
Our nuclear submarine seems to be chasing something,
but we can't locate it.
Something?
We can't confirm the target.
You cannot confirm it?
Who is the captain of the nuclear submarine?
Commander Sailor.
Monopoly Sailor? What target would he pursue so frantically?
Show me the CIC data as needed from now on.
Aye, Sir.
Our nuclear submarine seems to be chasing the tail of the Toy Box.
I hope nothing happens though.

Is he gone?
This jacket was expensive though.
Surface ship located, direction 3-2-3. Confirmed as Echo 1.
American Navy Aegis destroyer. Estimated distance is seven miles.
All right, prepare to launch Harpoon missiles one and two.
The target is Echo 1. Launch mode BOL.
Aye, Sir.
Stop it! They have nothing to do with us.
Target is Echo 1. Data input, complete.
Opening launch tube doors.
Stop, Dana!
Launch tubes open.
Now, numbers one and two.
Please stop!
Launch!
Which one?
This must be it.
What am I doing?
I need to go!
Go to Lady Chapel!
But where is it?
I found you.
Captain, heat sources approaching! Two Harpoon missiles.
They appear to be locked on.
Direction is 1-3-2.
Distance is 8000!
What?! Emergency evasion! Dispense chaff! Helm to port!
We won't make it in time!
Captain! Impact noise of a Harpoon is confirmed.
What?!
To port side, 2-5-2. Distance is 2000.
Our Aegis destroyer appears to have been hit.
Damn Toy Box! Go to a depth of 250!
Ready the MK48 torpedoes. Ready numbers three and four for launch!
Did you say it didn't sink?
The target is unable to move,
but appears to be able to float.
You kept the warheads off.
It was an inevitable decision as the captain.
You mean former captain!
It failed to explode? Damage report!
Port side deck and hangar have been damaged.
All helicopters on board have been destroyed.
Teams are currently working to control the fires.
The helicopters are thought to have caused the explosion.
What does it mean?
I need an explanation.
If the submarine named Toy Box exists,
it's hard to believe
that it would attack an American naval vessel for no reason.
But we were apparently attacked.
It failed to explode. I think that means a lot.
What?
If they were serious, the ship would've exploded into pieces.
And they haven't attacked a second time yet.
Don't you think it's strange?
I don't think so.
Captain, a severe storm is approaching.
Why now?
Damn! Who did this?
Near the cafeteria!
Good job.
Sagara, your girlfriend is in the cafeteria,
but I won't let you go there.
What's wrong? Why don't you try to run away?
Damn it! Damn, Guen!
It's hard to believe McAllen betrayed us.
Does that mean that the newcomer, Danigan, is in the cafeteria?
Sousuke!
I'll take care of this bastard!
I'll give you a chance to run through.
But...
No arguments, Kaname is in danger. Why don't you go?
You need to apologize to her properly.
Go!
What's the matter? Run away!
Don't get any closer!
Chidori!
Damn!
Sousuke!
Chidori!
Sagara!
Go to hell, Sagara!
Chidori!
Are you all right?
Do you hurt anywhere?
All over...
I...
I'm not a burden.
I'm all right on my own.
Even just seconds ago, I wasn't scared at all.
Chidori, I'm sorry.
You're not a burden.
Did you forget? You've helped me many times.
If I didn't have you, I would have been dead by now.
I am here, because you were there for me.
So, please don't tell me you're all right on your own.
All right, for now.
Sousuke, you're injured!
I'm all right. No problem.
Really?
Really.
Can you stand up?
That's the sound of an attacker's sonar!

I won't let him do whatever he wants to do.
The nuclear reactor is my heart.
Two pairs of senders are my wings.

Sousuke! The rest is up to you!
