When can you prepare the ransom money?
First let me see lwase.
The ransom money comes first.
The hostage isn't here.
But set your mind at rest. lwase is safe.
lf l can't confirm lwase's safety, l won't procure the ransom money.
How would you confirm it?
lwase has a daughter.
Ask him what her name is.
Prepare the light.
Northeast...
lf we get the money, we'll release lwase wherever you choose.
Where is our guarantee of that? We'll make the exchange in person.
We have it.
The daughter's name is:
M-
M-A-
M-A-Y-
M-A-Y-U-
M-A-Y-U-K-
M-A-Y-U-K-O
Mayuko...
Hey, yeah
Doko ni iru no ka wakatte iru no?
Sou kimi wa ima itsuwari to shinjitsu no hazama
Oh, toki wa michita
Nageki no kotoba wa iranai
Oh, kono mama dewa nani mo kawaru sube mo naku natte shimau
Deep inside of my small heart, into the light
Ugokihajimeta
Nothing can be sweeter than your smile
Tojikometa no wa shuumei no oto
Sometimes l think that is me choosing the way
Furueru karada
You must not say l don't care, tell me why
Uchihanasu no wa shuumei no oto
180 kilometers south of Quetta.
This is where we are now; our village.
Are there any villages or towns that we could take refuge in if we abandon this place?
What are you saying? Are you telling us to forsake our village?
Wait.
What is this about?
To procure the ransom money, l have to contact Tokyo.
But all radio transmissions are being monitored by the Army.
So if l use the radio,
the Army will figure out where the signal originated and come running.
Then all you have to do is use your radio somewhere else.
The reconnaissance helicopters are making rounds.
They'll discover this place before long.
Am l wrong?
Go on.
What troops are stationed in Sukkur?
Mostly troops from the Mountain Divisions.
ln which case,
it would take at least three hours for troops sent from Sukkur to get here.
Three hours isn't enough.
We can't escape very far with women and children along.
That's right.
ln order to have the villagers escape to a different village
and accomplish our goal at the same time...
...we have to lure the army away to Quetta.
Can you do that?
We'll pretend the ransom money is being handed over in Quetta.
Quetta's no good.
lt's our escape route into Afghanistan. lt's too important.
The army will probably think that too.
The troops in Sukkur will head for Quetta,
and their first act will be to seal off the airport and train station.
The rest of the troops will concentrate on the Afghanistan border too.
Meanwhile, we'll carry out the exchange in a different place.
Specify the place for the exchange.
Considering lwase's state of health, moving him is difficult.
We'll make the exchange at the place where lwase is being held,
one of Sindh Coal's abandoned mines.
How did you figure that out?
Considering the direction the light signal you sent was pointed,
it must be east of the Bolan Pass.
An abandoned mine is about the only place around there
that you could hide a person in.
That's fine, we'll forsake the village.
We'll move the women and children to a safe place starting now.
This is because l've placed my belief in you.
Yugo, believe in me as well.
From this point on, that's everything.
How far from the village have we come?
About ten kilometers.
Then let's wait here until morning.
l'm going to start my communications.
Wait. Why didn't you do it in the village?
The reason we abandoned the village was supposed to be
so that we could buy time using it as a decoy to draw away the army.
l left the radio in the village square.
l'm going to operate that radio remotely using this controller.
lt'll be three hours until the army arrives at the village.
Then when they first realize the village they've besieged is empty,
they'll send out reconnaissance copters right away.
lt'll take another two or three hours for them to search all the way out to this area.
That's plenty of time for us to make ourselves scarce.
Mayu, do you read me?
This is the blue bird.
Do you read me, Mayu?
This is the blue bird.
Yes, l read you loud and clear.
lt's the same frequency!
lt's that Japanese again!
Commence recording!
Report this to Lieutenant Colonel Shadle!
l'd like you to contact Kogure right away.
Mr. Kogure is here right now.
Okay, that's perfect. Ask Kogure to send this message to Rashid for me.
l will. Mr. Rashid, right?
Okay, l'm going to start dictating.
Please...
l will restore Haji's honor.
The Messenger of God will hurry to Quetta.
Between the earth and the heavens,
the Messenger will wave a flag of blood.
That's all.
Mr. Yugo...
ls my father...
Don't worry. He's safe.
About the arrangements for the ransom money, then...
lf you tell this to Rashid,
the preparations to negotiate with the company have already been made.
Mr. Yugo...
l'll negotiate with the company for the ransom money.
We've identified the point the radio transmission was sent from.
lt's 180 kilometers south of Quetta.
We've currently got people rushing a translation of the content.
What's there?
Sir?
What's in the place where it was transmitted from?
Yes, Sir, apparently there's a village, Sir.
So the negotiator has already made contact with the dacoits.
Then l'll contact the Special Forces right away!
Wait.
Going by land will take too much time.
This is what Cobras are for.
lt won't even take an hour to wipe them out.
But Lieutenant Colonel Shadle,
wouldn't that mean that even the hostage and the villagers will get mixed up in this?
So what?
That just means we'll have destroyed a dacoit stronghold.
And if the hostage is to unfortunately die,
no one will have to pay a recovery fee.
Hostages end up not returning home alive all the time.
Hey! Kogure!
Rashid...
Where's Mr. lwase's daughter?
She hasn't gotten back from the company yet.
Yugo's being targeted by the army.
So you're saying the radio waves are being monitored by the army,
and that's why he contacted us in code?
That's got to be it.
So? Could you decipher his message?
l don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
But ''Haji'' probably means Haji Rahmani, the man l told Yugo about.
lf l ask that old man about it, l might be able to understand better.
Then...
Yeah, when Mayuko comes back, l'm going to fly to Karachi.
l'll go too!
l'll go to Pakistan too!
Mayu, your hair...
l've arranged things so that we can get the $500,000 ransom
from the Karachi branch office.
Please take me to Karachi with you.
Even if Karachi is comparatively safe, things are still dangerous right now.
l can't take you with me.
Wait here for us to contact you, and don't worry.
l'm the only one who can get the $500,000 ransom money!
Mayuko...
You've got nothing to worry about with her.
Go on, take her with you.
Mr. Kogure...
Although l can't go with you.
As long as Yugo doesn't tell me to come, l don't budge.
Also, l don't like hot weather.
Attention all airborne Cobras.
We predict the use of antiaircraft weapons.
Exercise caution.
Begin attacking your assigned target at a distance of 2000.
Kill them all!
Target in sight: distance, 2000.
Seekers, lock on!
lt's so tiresome.
Armies of ants... They live and die, and it just repeats, over and over.
Fire!
You people can't change anything. Nothing will change.
Learn that lesson when it's pounded into your bodies!
l can't believe it!
lf they know there might be a hostage there, their strategy should be containment!
To them, the hostage's life is worth shit.
The international community won't take this quietly.
They can think about that after they dispose of us.
Unit 1 reporting to command center.
All missiles fired. Missiles have hit target.
No enemy counterattack.
None?
What do you mean? Where are the dacoits?
Cannot confirm presence of armed soldiers or civilians
with either radar or the naked eye.
What?!
Unit 3 reporting to command center.
This village is uninhabited.
l repeat, this village uninhabited.
Your orders, Sir?
Please respond.
Lieutenant Colonel, perhaps we should temporarily...
DAMMlT! Those filthy little worms!
Fan out immediately and start canvassing the surrounding areas.
They should still be close by.
Find the dacoits, no matter what!
The helicopters have spread out!
Hide behind the rocks! They're coming!
Yugo, the sheik!
What are you doing?
You can't compete with a Cobra.
You'll just be an easy target!
lt's here!
Do want to die here?
lf that's God's will.
Person sighted thirteen kilometers northeast of the village.
A dacoit?
l'm still a ways off; l can't make out details.
He's a dacoit! Kill him!
Hey! Do you have a flare gun?
Yeah, but...
Shoot on my signal.
lt's no use! lt won't reach the helicopter.
Not at the helicopter;
in front of Ali's feet.
lt's a dacoit!
Shoot him down!
Fire!
Smoke?
Consider this the beginning of a jihad!
Cobra 1 has disappeared from the radar!
All remaining copters, proceed to the site immediately!
Wipe out the dacoits!
lt's impossible to get any closer! We don't have enough fuel!
Why did you face it?
An attack copter's range is small.
He would've run out of fuel and pulled out.
God does not forgive those who turn their backs on the enemy and run away.
People like that are bound for Hell.
But now there are casualties!
lf you were the commander of the government army,
would you just leave us alone as we continued on our way to Quetta?
The proud soldiers of lslam return bloodshed for bloodshed.
''l will restore Haji's honor.''
''The Messenger of God will hurry to Quetta.''
''Between the earth and the heavens, the Messenger will wave a flag of blood.''
We can feel confident in taking ''between the earth and the heavens''
to mean they'll be using an airport, in other words, Quetta Airport.
We'll now immediately deploy the Sukkur troops to Quetta,
and seal off the airport and train station...
Since the transmission was a lure to bring us to the village,
it's dangerous to take its contents on faith.
But the possibility of them entering Quetta can't be eliminated.
l'm not going to let them escape.
We'll seal off the area below this line!
Dye the yellow sands red with their blood.
Haji lives in the basement.
This is Mr. lwase's daughter, Miss Mayuko.
Did something happen to Yugo?
We were sent a radio message.
l think it's designating a site for the ransom delivery,
but l don't understand it.
This is bad.
What is it?
This says he's hurrying to Quetta.
lf he were heading for Quetta, that would be dangerous.
This is secondhand info from a colleague,
but apparently yesterday afternoon the army sealed off Quetta Airport.
The army listened in on this too, didn't they?
They must have read ''between the earth and the heavens'' to mean ''the airport.''
Then Yugo's in danger!
Calm down.
l can't imagine this message is pointing to the airport.
But Haji!
Now is the time to think calmly.
Why did Yugo include the line ''l will restore Haji's honor''?
Because he was trying to get me to meet with you.
Yes.
Yugo put that line in expecting that you would come see me,
in order to have me read it.
The ''Messenger of God'' in the message seems like Yugo himself,
but the original Messenger of God is the Prophet Mohammed.
Long ago, Mohammed stood between the earth and the heavens
and received the revelation of God.
Between the earth and the heavens?
Where is that?
The pass!
There are two national roads connecting Karachi and Quetta.
lf he's ''hurrying'' to Quetta...
...it's probably the pass close to Quetta.
The Bolan Pass, eh? Damn, that's just as bad.
Just as bad?
They say the Bolan Pass has been sealed off too.
Delivering money there in a situation like that
is like marching off to get killed.
Can't you contact Yugo telling him to change the location?
lf that transmission were intercepted too, that would be the end!
Then what should we do?
lt seems as if it's my role to close the curtain on this play.
You can't carry $500,000 and get past all those checkpoints without being noticed! lmpossible!
Even on the off chance that you were able to make contact with Yugo,
the army wouldn't overlook it!
No matter what you did or said, you'd get killed!
Please reconsider, Haji!
Dad!
lf l don't go, then what?
Even that young lady has come all the way here to do battle.
Dad...
May the peace and mercy of God be upon you.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. May the peace and mercy of God be upon you.
May the peace of God be upon you as well.
Walaikum assalam. May the peace of God be upon you as well.
Shukria.
Thank you.
Was there an accident or something?
The army's put up a checkpoint in the pass up ahead.
This is Route 25.
Currently nothing out of the ordinary to report.
Don't let down your guard.
When you find them, you kill them, you got that?!
So they've even cordoned off the Bolan Pass?
But it's exactly what l thought they'd do.
Cars coming from Quetta have free passage.
That's the commanding officer, is it?
lt's Lieutenant Colonel Shadle.
Do you know him?
He's a desert shark with a nose for the scent of blood.
Sheik!
Lall, how did it go?
lt looks like the Army is concentrating on the area from the Bolan Pass to Quetta.
They've gotten to a village nearby without being discovered.
Now what's left is the ransom money.
l'll go down to the pass.
Go down to it?
Do you know what you're saying? That's going right into the thick of the enemy!
lf l stay in hiding up here, l can't get the $500,000.
Let's meet in the abandoned mine.
l'll fulfill my promise before evening.
You'll draw too many eyes taking a woman with you.
There will be no place for you to hide.
Believe in me.
From this point on, that's everything, isn't it?
