New function, view jack!
These are something every boy has always dreamed of.
New items... And they're all badass, Apple!
Call me "Doctor."
Nice work, Apple!
Doctor, 'kay?
None of these look like we can use them for a damn thing, Apple Bieber.
Doctor!
So, about this weird function you put into the eye-system.
The view jack.
You could use this to see us when we're changing, right?
N-No!
You've got it all wrong!
You could use this to share information on an Overdrive target...
Hell no!
Okay. I'll make it better!
I said, "hell no," and I meant it.
Doug!
All of 'em do seem cool, but...
It's hard to say when we'd actually use them.
That's right!
Because this is just a story about detectives putting in long hours doing footwork.
There won't be anything cool like that—
Hey, Twavis says come qwuick.
He said there's been a kidnapping.
Well, sometimes there will be!
#09 Don't Think, Feel So Good!
The daughter of William Dorman,
the leading candidate in the upcoming mayoral elections,
has been kidnapped.
I get that, but what's that have to do with us?
Yes, I don't believe kidnapping is in our jurisdiction.
Allow me to explain.
Wh-Who's that?
You seriously don't know?
This is Secretary Brian Cooper with the Lisvalletta military.
That's right.
You viewers are all smart people, so I'm sure you already know,
but despite being a police organization,
SEVEN-O is also under the jurisdiction of the military!
The criminals identified themselves as Esperanza during their ransom demand.
Ransom? So this is a cash grab?
Likely correct.
But in light of the upcoming mayoral elections,
we need to be open to the idea that his political rivals are involved, too.
And in light of the fact that we're going up against Esperanza,
we need to be ready for any danger.
I see. So this is a direct case.
What's a direct case?
A case that comes directly from the military.
Yes, that's part of it, but...
What else?
Please! Save my daughter!
Save Sarah!
I don't care if they say I'm giving the kidnappers what they want!
Please! Please!
Dorman is a friend of mine.
I see.
So what's the plan?
Mr. Dorman has requested that he hand over the ransom directly.
Kirill
Doug
Max Yuri
Deana Kay
You'll be watching the scene,
and providing backup as needed.
Doug, you're the team leader.
Mr. Dorman will be wearing a radio,
but for security reasons, he won't have a receiver.
Your priority is the subject's safety.
Don't worry about arresting the criminal.
There he goes.
Do we follow, Doug?
Yeah. Be careful.
He's heading towards the river.
Shit.
What's wrong?
A fire.
Doug, no luck here either.
We'll take the long way around.
Doug
Roger.
I'll follow alone.
Shit! I can't see.
This isn't good.
They've seen the transmitter.
Oh, no. They're on to us.
I'll handle it myself!
Give back my daughter!
Are you okay?
Hey, where are they?
Got it.
I'll ask for a cordon on all the main roads leading out of the ward.
Target is confirmed to be trying to escape.
Was the fire an arson?
Deploy mobile units.
Yes. They were trying to mess up our investigation.
They knew the firefighters would gather near the river to have a source of water.
This wasn't the deal!
SEVEN-O was supposed to screw up,
and I would be the hero when I took my daughter back myself.
That was the plan!
You want to get rid of the current mayor and his anti-drug policies, right?
Am I wrong?
We have a higher priority.
Wh-Who are you?
I have a message for you.
I don't know who the hell you are,
but you weren't supposed to kidnap a cop!
Cooper's a friend!
What if something happens to the guy?
D-Did you kill him?!
It's none of your business.
But just as you promised,
you're going to do everything we tell you to.
We're both in this together now.
And my daughter?
I'll release her, as promised.
The boss decided he won't be killing any more kids.
Good news, huh?
But he shows no mercy for people who waste food.
Daddy fought bravely to rescue his daughter.
That's the story you wanted, right?
I knew it, no luck.
These are water level monitoring cameras for the river.
You can't expect too much.
Are there other cameras we can look at?
It's a stolen vehicle, anyway.
The plate won't tell us a damn thing.
If Doug...
If Doug what?
Buzz-Cut, where are you going?
We're on standby, Kirill!
It's my job to get caught, Doug!
They knew our plan?
What the hell is going on?
Were they listening in on our messages?
No way.
I used my own brand of encryption on them.
It wouldn't be easy to break.
Maybe that's just what you think, and the encryption was broken?
The output from that radio is so small it's barely even there!
The technology to amplify the receiver precision is something only I...
Deana. Kay.
Come back, Buzz-Cut.
We found Dorman's daughter.
When we secured the girl, she told us the location of the kidnappers hideout.
Dorman was found unconscious in a hotel room.
Did they find Doug?
The room was otherwise empty.
There was nobody there.
So Doug's somewhere else.
But, are we sure about this info?
Yes, we are.
Dorman told his daughter some information one of the kidnappers said.
You must've been so scared.
I'm sorry, Sarah.
You're a strong girl.
So pass along a message for me...
"Doug Billingham is alive," he said.
Thanks for your help before, Doug Billingham.
Your help is much appreciated.
But why Doug?
If the kidnapping was truly a ploy,
perhaps everything was a plot to kidnap an investigator?
They wanted revenge?
No, they aren't that stupid.
Information?
Yeah. That's the more likely guess.
I see.
So that's what they're after.
If we assume that Esperanza kidnapped one of your men to get some kind of information...
The most likely guess is that they're after information on Anti-AMS bullets.
We're already aware of the fact
that five types of drugs are used to treat Overdrive victims.
All of them are extremely potent, and fatal in the wrong doses.
And the problem is...
The appropriate dosage, and how its made, Doug Billingham.
Do you suppose you'd be willing to tell me how this device works?
That sounds like an idea they'd have.
I think I can find Doug!
The view jack?
Yes. I modified the radio program to expand its receiver range.
Well done, Apple!
Okay, got it!
Zabel...
Why?
I get it, Zabel.
You've decided to tell me?
It's the other way around. You're the boss.
That ranking from A to Z.
It was the other way around.
What if it was?
If I take you down, Esperanza is finished.
Boss, we're ready.
But we won't be able to ID the building from just this footage.
If only Doug could tell we're jacking him.
Don't worry, he knows.
I modified it to stop people from being peeping toms.
If you don't talk, you'll die.
That's all.
I won't die that easy.
I've finally found a way forward.
That's...
A parking lot map?
I'll look up parking lots with that layout.
Yuri.
We need to hurry.
Yeah. Doug will never break.
I know that.
That's why it's dangerous!
Looks like he won't be talking.
But what if something strange happens to his own body?
Maybe he'll change his mind.
They're going to use the Anthem on Doug!
That's very possible.
I wish we could tell Doug what we're doing...
There is a way to pass a message to Doug!
The choice is yours.
What do we do?
I don't want to have to deal with a monster...
Morse code.
Doug will notice the flashing on/off message.
SEVEN-O...
What are you sending?
I'm starting with a short message to help him realize what we're doing.
I found him.
The parking structure on Simpson Drive.
Let's ask a military special forces unit for help.
We'll use a heli to come in from above.
The heli's too risky.
But it's the best way...
Doug answered!
How?
By blinking.
He's badly injured from the electric shocks, but...
Doug...
Tell us.
"I'm waiting."
I have an idea!
Okay. You've got my permission.
I'm authorizing extralegal measures.
The Lisvalletta military will take full responsibility!
All officers are to do everything they can to rescue Doug Billingham!
Roger!
Sophie will continue to monitor Doug and Buzz-Cut's field of vision.
Buzz-cut will lead us to the area.
Pink and Rookie will provide support from the rear.
Boxer and Robot will secure an exit route for after he's rescued.
Buzz-Cut will head into the enemy's hideout and distract the enemy from within.
Head to the 7th floor to rescue Doug Billingham.
We'll call this... Operation Beehive!
The team leader is...
Buzz-Cut!
I'll save Doug!
The Double-Decker system.
All officers are required to work with a partner at all times,
and have the responsibility to keep their partner alive.
I'm counting on you!
Yeah...
Leave it to me!
Failure is not an option. Are you ready?
Don't think. Feel so good!
Just a little good luck charm.
Is he going to die?
Fine...
Hey!
If he won't talk, we don't have a choice.
Yeah. We just kill him once he turns into a monster.
Wait.
What, you've decided to talk?
Give me ten seconds.
Huh?
Countdown started.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
Leave it to me.
Four.
Time to stir up the beehive.
Three.
Two.
Dance, little bees!
One...
Go!
What was that?
What?
A car exploded?
Shit!
You come, too.
What about the Anthem?
Just come with us!
Sophie, where's Doug?
Kirill, they're taking him to the top floor!
Confirmed hit!
Okay, Kay. Next!
Right! 18 o' clock.
Distance 180!
Good job. I'll give you headpats later.
As planned, the target is heading to the roof.
Max and Yuri, enter the area.
Roger!
Kirill, hurry!
I can't go much faster...
But the enemy's going to figure out—
They're pointing a gun at him.
Oh, but he took the gun!
Oh! Behind you! Oh!
"Oh!" doesn't tell me a thing!
Oh! Um...
He jumped!
We're about to rendezvous!
"Rendezvous"?
Why am I riding on your shoulders?
Just stay put!
What do we do?
We do this!
Hang on tight, Doug!
Go!
Hey—
Damn it!
A little more...
It seems to have worked.
Probably.
That's not very decisive.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I think...
I can't move, though.
You really are Double Deckers.
Though it's actually a triple decker right now.
I can't breathe, Doug.
We're almost there! Hang in there!
I'm going to die! Really!
Mr. Dorman confessed.
He wanted to be a hero to help win his election,
and came up with this fake kidnapping.
Well, I figured it was something like that.
Hey, we caused a lot of property damage.
Are we in trouble?
Of course not.
I'm always there to help when it matters.
You're so cool, Travis!
The Lisvalletta military will take full responsibility!
Well, I guess it's okay this time.
Um, I helped a lot this time.
Yeah. Great work, Doctor Apple.
Call me Doctor!
But, take off that view jack!
That just happened to work this time...
Okay, fine.
Huh? Where's Kirill today?
He's off today. He went to visit Doug.
"You don't need to thank me, Doug.
I just did what any partner would do."
Yeah, that's the orthodox way to do it.
Oh, you?
I came to apologize to Sergeant Billingham.
I put his life in danger.
Doug wouldn't let that bother him.
You people are very brave...
No, I'm not...
Goodbye.
By the way, that little "good luck charm" of yours, where did you learn it?
"Don't think. Feel so good." Was that it?
Oh, my grandpa taught me that before he died.
I guess I remembered it wrong, though.
But I forget it.
I see. It's a good phrase.
My grandpa would love to have heard that.
Bye!
Thank you, Constable Vrubel.
You don't need to thank me, Doug.
I just did what any—
You're my hero.
In your place, I wouldn't have come to save you.
I'm really grateful.
That's right! Back then...
Why didn't you come save me, Doug?
What?
That's why I thanked you.
That's not it—
"Prometheus's fire is there when you don't think, feel so.
Good gift and blessing shall be given to you then."
Why did he know Nikai's prayer?
The team succeeds in rescuing Doug.
But next time, something unexpected happens! Or maybe it doesn't!
That's right! With love, lottery tickets, and Double Decker,
you never know what you're going to get!
Next time on Episode #10:
"Failed Detective, but Pure!"
Failed Detective, but Pure!
Who cares if I fail? I'm pure!
