Man, it had to come to this.
Indiscriminate bombings.
A global terrorist network.
Those bastards!
Lockon! Lockon!
You're angry! You're angry!
Sorry, Haro.
Leave me alone for a little while.
I'll target them...
Target and fire...

INDISCRIMINATE RETALIATION
Indiscriminate terrorism.
Sure I knew it was a possibility...
...but this is gonna turn people against us even more.
It's nothing new, being hated.
Either way, as we're always up in space, there's nothing we can do.
We'll leave it to the guys on the surface.
Welcome home, Mistress.
Please leave us alone for now. We have business to take care of.
Excuse us.
Why are you dressed like that?
It's camouflage! Camouflage!
And this is my favorite style!
Do you understand our situation?
I know...
...but right now all we can do is wait for information from Wang Liu Mei's agents.
But it sure is hot.
Don't you have any cold beer?
She sure's got a lot of nerve.
She's just acting tough.
If only we could contact those agents ourselves.
There's no need for us, the combat team...
...to know everything about the organization.
I guess I can trust in Veda's directions...
Long time no see, Feldt! Long time no see!
Haro.
I've finished contacting all our agents...
...using an encrypted message on a special wavelength.
What's the situation in the various nations?
It appears the intelligence agencies of the major nations are already at work...
...searching for the stronghold of this international terrorist network.
Another bombing!
It's in the Human Reform League.
With this, the Union, AEU and Human Reform League...
...have all become targets of these terrorist attacks.
The probability is high that it's the work of an international terrorist network.
We can't deny the possibility that some country is supporting it.
It's terrible, having to just sit and wait like this.
We can surmise...
...that the terrorist network has several bases of operation.
To make sure we attack them before they have a chance to switch bases...
...we'll have all Gundam units stand by at arranged locations.
Sorry. It's time to say goodbye.
See you, Feldt! See you, Feldt!
Haro.

A terrorist attack against us too?
Twenty-four dead, sixty-seven injured.
Intelligence has begun an investigation.
All right.
Report to me if something turns up.
Roger that, Lieutenant Colonel!
What's wrong?
I don't believe this is something...
...you should be involved with, Lieutenant Colonel.
The reason for these multiple terrorist acts is Celestial Being.
Which means there's a possibility they'll step in at some point.
Then it's our business.
First Lieutenant, we're not gonna find the enemy doing this.
I know.
I am a restless, impatient man...
...and furthermore, I can't stand those who commit such cowardly acts.
I know it's nonsense, but I just can't sit still.
We'll accompany you, First Lieutenant.
I appreciate your loyalty, guys!
AEU SCOTLAND
A war in Moralia and multiple terrorist attacks.
There certainly are a lot of distractions on your diplomatic tour, Princess.
Because of the terrorism, my meeting with the British Foreign Secretary is postponed.
This is all Celestial Being's fault.
Think of it as a holiday and enjoy yourself.
How could you suggest such a thing to me?
There were complications at the National Assembly the other day.
The leader of the Conservatives was attacked and injured by Reformists.
That's terrible.
It's only a matter of time before this develops into a clash between citizens.
This trip may be your first and last.
UNION SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE TOKYO
Hey, Louise?
It's me. Are you all right?
Terrorist attacks continue worldwide
I'm fine.
But Mom's insisting that I return to Spain.
Terrorist attacks continue worldwide
Go back for a visit and make her feel better.
No way. She was against me coming abroad to study to begin with.
She'll come up with all kinds of reasons to keep me there.
I'm home.
My sister's home.
See you later, Louise. Let me know if anything happens.
Sure. See you.
Welcome home. You look exhausted.
Of course I am.
A large-scale war in Moralia and simultaneous terrorist attacks.
Leaders of different nations making official statements.
Worldwide demonstrations denouncing Celestial Being.
We can't cover it all, even if we had every staff member out there reporting.
Honestly...I used to feel it was all someone else's problem...
What was?
How do I put it? Everything that's going on in the world...
Here.
Thanks.
Even after Celestial Being showed up, there was no conflict over here.
So I never really thought it mattered to me.
But then...
...that bus was bombed, and a lot of people were affected.
When I saw that, I realized it did matter a lot to me.
I just didn't know it.
I didn't know anything.
That's the same with me.
I just came back from interviewing the families of the victims...
...and honestly, it was hard.
They didn't do anything.
They just happened to be there...
...and their entire lives disappeared.
I understand why those families hate Celestial Being.
It's impossible to rid the world of war.
They're probably thinking the exact same thing.
What do you mean?
There's something else behind that impossible goal of eradicating war.
I bet there's an ulterior motive that Celestial Being wants to accomplish.
Though that's just speculation.
But people died. A lot of people died...
...and there are a lot of people grieving.
You're right. I totally agree.
I wonder what Dad and Mom would think if they were alive.
They would be saddened, just as you are, Saji.

This is so frustrating.
AEU SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS
Are you going?
Of course I am.
I'm going to carry out my duty in the name of God.
No! You'll die!
What? Are you afraid of dying?
That's a blasphemy against God!
He lived for God and died for God.
Now his spirit will be guided to God.
There is no God in death.
A heat source detected.
It's close to the predicted terrorist attack location.
Terrorists, as predicted.
Setsuna here.
We saw a suspicious person leaving the bombing site on the security cameras.
You are the closest one to the scene. Can I have you look into it?
Roger. I'll head to the site.
You can't use Exia right now.
I know.
Is it true that there was a terrorist attack?
It is confirmed information.
We've made arrangements for a hotel in the outskirts of the city.
The suspect is escaping in a car. It's a brown coupe.
I will apprehend the target.
Hey! What are you doing?!
What were you trying to do?
Nothing.
Show me your identification!
What's wrong? Hurry and hand over your identification!
Excuse me. That boy is with us.
Who are you?
This is who we are.
E-Excuse me!
Did I overstep my bounds?
No.
I didn't think I'd meet someone else from my homeland here.
You're from Azadistan, aren't you?
No. I'm from Krugis.
Krugis?
I-I see.
I don't know what to say.
I haven't introduced myself. I'm Marina Ismail.
Kamal Mazirif.
Are you here on a sight-seeing trip?
W-Wait!
Let me talk to you just a little longer, please.
We've taken one of the culprits into custody.
Yes, I will transmit the biometrics.
Miss, I have confirmed information.
It has been determined that the international terrorist network...
...is the European Nature Revival Group "La Edenra".
Have our agents locate their active bases quickly.
Diplomacy?
That's right.
As I'm sure you know, Kamal...
...Azadistan has been split into the Reformists and Conservatives.
The country is in chaos.
To rebuild the economy of Azadistan under the current restrictions on oil exports...
...we need a solar power generation system.
But life has become difficult in our nation...
...because of the solar power generation system.
So the Conservatives aren't too pleased with that idea.
Unless we stop the two sides from confrontation...
...that group will step in.
Celestial Being.
They're a group of fanatics, thinking they can stop war with force.
Sure, war isn't right...
...but the reality is that people are losing their lives...
...in these unilateral interventions.
Countries have had their economies ruined.
I wonder, do those people believe that they're God?
People die in wars, too.
I'm only saying that their interventions are too arbitrary.
Without any attempt to hold talks, without looking into peaceful solutions...
...they're restraining people with the pressure of violence.
That's not right.
While talks are held, people die.
Still!
It was Azadistan that destroyed Krugis!
You're right.
But right until the end, the two countries always sought a peaceful solution!
And meanwhile, people died!
Kamal, were you...involved?
The fighting ended six years ago.
But you're still a boy.
Were you fighting?
I am still fighting.
I'm fighting now.
Are you a member of the Conservatives? Are you here to kill me?
Killing you won't change anything.
The world won't change.
Kamal...
No.
My codename is Setsuna F. Seiei.
I'm a Gundam Meister of Celestial Being!
Celestial Being?
If the conflict doesn't end, we will eventually go to Azadistan.
- N-No way... - Princess!
That wasn't a very funny joke he made...
We're getting reports from the agents now.
La Edenra's main operating bases have already been abandoned.
They're careful. That brings us back to square one.
Wait.
The biometric data of a suspected terrorist has been released on the network.
A coded message from the NRO?
And the BND and DGSE, too.
Well, Mistress?
The world is telling us to take action.
AEU INTELLIGENCE HEADQUARTERS
Are you sure it was right to release that information, Mr. Secretary?
With our limited jurisdiction...
...we cannot easily take action against terrorist organizations in other countries.
However, that group is a little different.
For this one time, we share common interests.
La Edenra has three active bases.
We will attack simultaneously at 1400 Greenwich Mean Time.
Roger.
Virtue will commence attack on terrorist organization's operating base.

Enemy strength is unknown. There's a chance they may have mobile suits.
Then I'll just shoot them down.

Are you sure?
You should know that after this mission we're going back to space...
I'm going! I'm going! Let's go, Feldt!
- But... - It's okay.
Look out! Over here, Feldt!
Who would've thought so many nations' intelligence agencies would help?
That was so nice of them.
We're just being used.
But it's a giant step forward.
It certainly is.

What?!
A mobile armor?
It's old, but I'm surprised they even have one.
Did that get it?
Exia. Target destroyed.
All Gundam units have destroyed their targets.
Please advise our agents to continue monitoring La Edenra's activities...
...and to look for the country that supported them.
Very well.
