"1999 SOUTH EAST ASIA" "We have damage to legs 2, 4 and 5." "We've lost mobility." " Can we use the other legs?" " I'll try, sir." "All units." "Hold position." "There's a minefield behind you." "This is Gong 1:" "There are troops ahead advancing on us." "It looks like one squad." "No, more than that." "Be careful." "There's an IRsource to the right." "Bearing 040, moving." "Range. 1200." "Multiple targets." "It has a tank's heat signature." "It's entering RPG targeting range." "Gong to Command." "We've been surrounded by hostile troops." "Request permission to fire." "Request denied." "Canadian troops are en route." "I repeat, do not engage." "Take evasive action." "We cannot evade!" "Do you read?" "Second heat signature!" " My eject's broken!" " Another heat signature!" "I can't get out!" "Captain!" "BOOT." "Okay." "System normal." "Type XL." "Standby." "System boot:" "Complete." " Right." "Go to visual scan mode." " Roger." "It checks." "Downward scan:" "Check." "Rear scan:" "Check." "Hey, this isn't a game, Noah." "Auto-balancing:" "Nominal." "Proceeding with downward scan." "No obstacles ahead." "All right." "Good run, Noah." "Let's reset and do it again." "Roger." "Simulation complete." "Maintenance team leader, report to Booth 2." "Good work." "We've been doing this for three months." "You should be used to it." "Well, I'm not." "You should try that weird headgear." " I did." " And?" "It made me sick, looking out of my stomach." "Yeah!" "What was wrong with the old Labors?" "This is the perfect Labor interface." "It has to work underwater and in space." "Cones and rods are obsolete." "Cones and what?" "Biological sensors." "Your eyeballs." "There used to be a school that taught people how to ride bikes." "Cars were an oddity used only for racing." "But humans are very adaptable." "But it's just..." "I know." "Let's stop at the hangar." "That'll cheer you up." "Hi there." " You two, again." " Hello." "It's been a year since I last used him." "Yeah, time sure flies." "And now they're just using him for tests." "Want to take him for a spin?" " I don't think so." " Why not?" "It's hard to explain." "That part of my life is over." "Come on." "The cafeteria's opening." "Oh, yeah, I forgot." "Time for dinner." " Thanks, guys." " Sure." "You idiot!" "You're supposed to AIM at your target!" "Get down and give me five laps!" "Sakabe!" "Nishihori!" "Speed up!" "Let's see some sprinting!" "Hey, what are you slowing down for, Kiseiyama?" "Five more laps!" " Okay, next!" " Sir!" "Ogura, no throwing up!" "That'll cost you another five laps!" " I have a question." " What?" "Why bother with manual aiming?" "Fire Control is 98% accurate." "And what if your FCS goes down?" "Police Labors always act in pairs, so the other Labor..." "What if the FCS fails in both machines?" "The odds of that are 10,000 to 1..." "I have to prepare you for that 1 in 10,000 case!" "You idiot!" "Give me 20 laps!" "Go!" "He's certainly serious about his training." "I like that." "Let's hear a battle cry, then prepare to fire!" "But this isn't the marines." "Kids nowadays could care less about "battle cries" and "spirit."" "Out of my way!" "Watch how a pro does it!" "Well, here we go again." "Maybe you'll talk to him this time." "It might have more weight coming from the division chief." "Marksmanship requires split-second timing!" "Concentrate, and you'll hit your target." "Now, send it out!" "Eat this!" "I'm not done yet!" "Don't relax after hitting your target!" " Move in and finish him off!" " What is the meaning of this?" "Our budget can't afford this!" "Report to me, immediately!" "Captain!" "Excuse me!" "Have you seen Captain Goto?" "Hey, Boss!" "Have you seen Captain Goto?" "What about Goto?" "This guy's looking for him." "I think he's out back." "Thank you!" "Have you seen the captain?" "Yeah." "He had a fishing pole." "He's probably out on the wharf." "Captain!" "Captain!" "What is it?" "We got a call from Chief Nagumo." "She's been delayed." "Is it traffic or a late conference?" "She didn't say." "I see." " What's wrong?" " It's the end of our shift." "Could Division 1 take over so we can go home?" "I suppose so, but we should wait for their commander." "That's true." " Go ahead." " It's okay?" "Go on home." "I have to stay, anyway." "Division 2 standing down." "We return to duty at 1200 tomorrow." "Dismissed." "Good work." " Excuse me, sir!" " See you." "No, it's not okay." "This indicates Labor use in Tokyo and its surroundings." "Following the completion of the Babylon Project last year... you can see a clear shift in Labor distribution." "Activity dropped once the land bridge was finished." "With the Osaka Airport expansion and other construction projects..." "Labors have scattered across the country." "Labor crimes showed a similar scattering trend." "We established Labor Police teams in Osaka and Kanagawa." "We're also looking at sites... in Aichi, Miyagi and Chiba." "Chief Nagumo!" "I'm glad you made it." "It's been a while, hasn't it?" "We invited you over plenty of times." "You never came down." "Congratulations on your promotion." "It's nothing." "It was just a formality when Second Section was reorganized." "A promotion is a promotion." "It was long overdue." "All the Tsuge graduates are having a party." "We saved you a seat." "Tanaka and Watanabe will be there." "They said to bring you." "Sorry, but I'll have to pass." "Come on!" "Aren't you over Tsuge yet?" "Shut up." "I wonder how long it's been." "Mr. Tsuge got back from the UN mission about three years ago." "Did he talk to you before he disappeared?" "Will you shut up!" "I got one letter from him right after he got back to Japan." "I'm sorry, but my division is on call tonight." "Tell everyone hello." "Don't you have ANY tact?" "Our most talented graduate still has a broken heart." "Hello." "Second Section." "Shige?" "This is Nagumo." "I'm finally done." "How's it going?" "It's pretty quiet." "We haven't had any calls." "Is Goto there?" "Should I go get him?" "He's out back." "He should get a mobile phone." "No, forget it." "I'm already on the freeway." "I'll be there in 15 minutes..." "Traffic jam." "Poor Captain." "Take your time." "Nothing's happening here." "Bye." "... a Labor is passing your vehicle." "Do not open your doors or exit your vehicles." "This is the Kanagawa Traffic Police." "This is Captain Nagumo of Metro Police, Second Section." "Come in." "This is Traffic Labor 201." "Motohashi speaking." "I studied under you." "Over." "I don't want to interrupt you... but what's up?" "There's an abandoned car on the bridge." "According to a tip, it's got a bomb inside." "We're on our way to dispose of it." "Understood." "Nagumo out." "Thank you." "At 5.20 this evening... there was a huge explosion on the Yokohama Bay Bridge." "There are no reports of death or injury, however  the Yokohama Bridge is now closed to all traffic  traffic is still at a standstill." "An anonymous warning was phoned in minutes earlier." "Terrorists are suspected..." "The anonymous call to Traffic Control is believed..." "Witnesses report hearing a sonic boom... just before the explosion." "Experts have now examined the mysterious home video." "Thejet is an F-16-J... used by theJapan Self Defense Force." "In 1998, theJSDF purchased... this improved version of the F-16." "The Self Defense Force initially based these fighters at Misawa." "But over 130 such planes are now in service." "TheJSDF is currently verifying the location..." "The Minister of Defense denies any military involvement." "... suspicions continue to focus on a military jet in connection..." "TheJSDF has denied... any link to the Yokohama Bridge incident  formation of a special investigation committee." "The Chairman assured the press..." "This is a special report on the Yokohama explosion..." "A witness remembered seeing your company at the bridge." "That's strange." "Sure, we were videotaping at the bridge that day... but we already handed our tape over to the police." "Are you really with the police?" "It did seem kind of strange." "It was yesterday, about 2:00 p.m." "He never told you his name or precinct?" "No, but he was a dumpy cop-type." "Just like you." "Did you get a receipt when he took the tape?" "The owners must have handled that." "All I saw was a release order from the client." "We do everything by word-of-mouth." "Do you have a copy?" "I can barely keep track of the original!" "Once we hand over the master, we recycle the working copies." "So, did you see the tape of the F-16 they broadcast on TV?" "I saw way too much of it." "Why?" "Your tape had more detail, didn't it?" "It was a High-Vision tape." "Better than your home brands." "Maybe something showed up on it." "It caught the instant of explosion?" "Not the instant, really." "Just after." "So you saw the tape?" "I saw it more times than you can imagine." "I edited it." "But I was under a deadline, and I had to edit it fast." "I didn't have time to go searching for clues." "If I had time, maybe I could have found something." "There might have been more clues on that tape." "I see." "That is something to think about." "I hate to waste your time like this, but..." "Not that again!" "I said I'd repay you in kind." "Okay." "Bye." "Detective Matsui, right?" "Yeah." "He asked me to say "hi."" " Captain Goto?" " Yes?" "I don't know what you have going with Matsui... but try to keep me informed." "Don't be too secretive, okay?" "Is that an order from my commander?" "Not an order." "Call it a request from a colleague." "Well, I can't ignore that, can I?" "Excuse me." "Someone's here to see the captain." "We have two captains." "Which one?" "I don't know." "Who is he?" "I don't know." "Ground Defense Force:" "Detached Investigations." "Mr. Arakawa." "There's no address or phone number on this card." "I'm afraid I can't reveal them." "So, what can we do for you?" "Before I get into that, there's something I'd like you to see." "This." "If you don't mind..." "Memories on the Bridge" "Lyrics" " Yoshiko Yuuka Music" " Kenji Kawai" "Arrangement" " Kenji Kawai" " Is this the right tape?" " Definitely." " I know the words." "I could sing it." " Do you feel like singing?" " I'd need a mike. - Then I'll fast-forward." "Here." ""Trembling, trembling, crying, crying"?" "Just past that. "Drenched together in pouring rain." Here." " Where?" " There, in the upper right." "Between the clouds." "Where?" "I can't see a thing." "Right here." "This bird-like shadow." "I think Captain Goto has figured it out." "It was shot right before the explosion." "Keep that in mind while you look at this next tape." "To prove it's authentic, I recorded the entire edit." "Amazing what you can do with digital enhancement." "See?" "It doesn't look like the plane they were showing on TV." "You're right." "Watch this." "Our image is on the left." "The right side is the plane shown on TV news." "Notice the wing:" "The left shows the new stealth wing." "The tail has a Vector Nozzle." "That's brand-new technology." "There isn't a plane like this... in the entire Self Defense Force." "Hold on." "Why are you showing this to us?" "Because I need your help in this investigation." "Also, if worse comes to worst..." "I'll need a police contact." "In return, I'll give you all our information." "What do you mean, "if worse comes to worst"?" "Would you come for a ride with me?" "We won't go far." "It's so easy to relax in a moving vehicle." "I do my best thinking here." "You sit in a serene stillness while the world flows past you." "Not only that, it's harder for people to eavesdrop." "Shall we get down to business?" "The night the bridge was attacked... a U.S. Fighter disappeared from the base on Miyakejima Island." "The plane on your video?" "The Americans reported it..." "Privately, of course." "We don't always agree with them, but our military forces cooperate." "They aren't in the habit... of bombing their allies." "Why would the U.S. Want to attack us?" "They weren't trying to attack anything." "The U.S. Military... and even the pilot, were both victims." "I assume you'll explain that." "We've been watching a certain syndicate for about a year now." "They're called the National Defense Family." "It's a group of U.S. Military advisers... and defense contractors." "After the Cold War, they helped fuel the arms race in Asia." "But they felt threatened by Japan's lack of interest." "We're a nation of peace lovers." "So they decided to stir us up." "Remember 26 years ago... when that Russian Mig pilot defected?" "He panicked the entire nation when he flew into our airspace." "Same thing." "A plane sneaks in and paints a huge message on our front door." "It worked perfectly, too." "Except that the missile was armed." "An accident?" "Maybe, but without proof... we have to assume it was deliberate." "And the F-16 never returned to its base." "Someone's gone to a lot of work to stage this little melodrama." " Why?" " Wait." "If you know so much, why don't you go public?" " The Ministry of Defense..." " They already know." "The bureaucrats can't decide what to say about it." "They suspect several groups... but there isn't a shred of evidence." "Whatever they say... there's bound to be a massive scandal." "They'll form an investigative committee... to cover their rears." "Get the picture?" "The idiots!" "This is just what the Defense Family wants." "And if the government covers it all up..." "We'll have another attack." "Before that happens, I want to solve this." "Will you help me?" "Mr..." "Arakawa?" "Interesting story... but it's all circumstantial evidence." "And you demonstrated... how unreliable videotape can be." "Sorry, I just don't buy it." "Captain Goto, you're as sharp as they say you are." "I picked the right man." "Even if both tapes were faked... you can't deny the explosion." "Can you?" "There's a file behind the passenger seat." "Yukihito Tsuge." "He's one of the group's founding members." "He's also our top suspect... but we can't track him down." "Anybody who's worked with Labors should recognize him." "We aren't set up to find missing people." "And we can't officially bring this to the police." "We ARE police officers." "They say that Captain Goto has quite a few connections." "And Second Section can circumvent regulations." "Or perhaps Second Section just ignores regulations." "That's a misconception." "We're just public servants, like you." "Excuse me." "It's me." "What?" "Don't forget that you have two cops in the car!" "They started sooner than I expected." "Three F-16-J fighters have taken off from Misawa heading south." "They'll hit Tokyo airspace in 20 minutes." "SIF confirms." "The F-16-J fighters belong to 3rd Flight... under Northern Sector Air Command's 8th Wing." "Call sign." "Wyvern." "They don't respond." "Area." "H-2, K-1." "Bearing. 190." "Altitude.32,000. Air speed.270 knots." "Heading south." "Do you have Misawa on the line?" "No response from any base, not even Northern Air SOC." "Call them on the direct line!" "Keep trying until you get them!" "Could they be...?" "Don't be stupid." "Interceptors have been launched." "Wizard 3 and 4 from Hyakuri and Priest 21 and 22 from Komatsu." "Wizard intercepts at 2204 hours." "Priest intercepts at 2210 hours." "Toreboh, this is Wizard 03." "Maintaining an angel of 32." "Wizard 03, this is Toreboh." "You are under my control." "Steer 040." "Maintain present angel." "Roger!" "Wyvern continues south." "No deviation." "Station SS-37." "Hand over to SS-27." "Interception at 2205 hours." "Wizard 03, target position 030." "Range. 90." "Altitude.32." "Sir, what if they intercept and there's still no response?" "We have a connection to Northern SOC." "Northern SOC, this is Central SOC." "Recall your fighters!" "Nothing in the air?" "Misawa tower reports no takeoffs." "We're trying to get direct confirmation... but their radio and phones are both down." "Check the location of your entire force!" " Top priority!" " Roger!" "Sir!" "The SIF codes just changed." "Could it be a system error?" "The diagnostics would trigger a shutdown in case of error." "Has Wizard made contact?" "Target dead ahead 25." "Wizard 03, how about contact?" "Negative contact." "Request target altitude." "When will the target reach Tokyo airspace?" "In about ten minutes." "Prepare the antiaircraft guns at Iruma." "And alert the director." "Toreboh, Wizard 03." "Negative contact." "Bogey dope." "Target dead ahead 15." "Heading: 190." "Altitude: 32." "Mach 1.2." "Reduce speed!" "No joy." "Negative contact." "I say again." "No joy." "Request target position." "Stop them!" "It's a collision course!" "There's no time." "It's too late for a second pass." "Caution!" "Almost same position." "Same altitude!" "Caution!" "Wizard, caution!" "Wizard!" "Break!" "Wizard!" " Did they eject?" "Were they hit?" " Impossible!" "Target course change." "New heading 210." "Diving and gaining speed." "They're closing with Priest!" "Range.20 knots!" "What's going on?" " They're headed this way!" " Is it an attack run?" "It's just like the Bay Bridge!" "Damn it!" "Cancel approaches." "All flights:" "Gain altitude and await orders!" "Watch your altitudes!" "Reroute international flights to Osaka!" "Weather conditions have delayed all arrivals and departures." "All passengers and crew please stand by." "Targets bypassing Narita." "They'll hit Tokyo airspace in 60 seconds!" "Priest, we have radar contact." "We have a lock on Wyvern!" " You have permission to fire." " But..." "Don't let them reach the city!" "Priest 21, this is Toreboh." "Clear fire." "Kill Wyvern." "Toreboh, say again." "I say again." "Kill Wyvern." "Roger." "Kill Wyvern." "This is Wizard 03." "Request order." "This is Wizard 03." "Priest 21, wait." "Wizard 03, this is Toreboh." "Are you normal?" "Toreboh, this is Wizard." "We have heavy jamming and have lost position." "Request further instructions." "I say again." "Request orders." "Position confirmed on Wizard 03." "No contact with bogeys." "Priest!" "Cancel attack!" " Priest is breaking off." " Wyvern's disappeared!" "F.I. Is awaiting instructions." "Stand down from alert." "Order Priest and Wizard back to base." "This is Wizard." "Lost position." "Request orders." "I say again." "This is Wizard 03." "Request orders." "Our Air Force computers... were designed to be a closed system." "But our security was crippled by politics." "We linked our mainframes to the U.S. Bases." "Are you listening?" "And the price was this fake invasion." "The culprits started in Germany and used the American Internet." "That got them into the American bases in Japan." "They then managed to get into our mainframe at Central COC." "It may be possible in theory, but can someone actually do that?" "The current radar system was installed in 1991." "But last year we added new software to improve efficiency." "One of the programmers probably worked for the Family." "And once again the truth will be hidden from the public." "Neither the government nor the JSDF can afford to admit this." "News about a hole in our defenses would attract imitators." "More incidents would only muddy this investigation." "Another invasion scare." "What do you have on Tsuge?" " You know about the Tsuge School?" " Just the basics." "It was a research group for the development of walking machines." "They focused largely on the military use of Labors." "Simulations proved that Labors could be decisive in combat." "The JSDF issued grants to start a new defense industry." "The project was named after its central figure:" "Tsuge." "He volunteered for a UN mission." "He probably wanted to test his theories." "How well do you think Labors stand up in the jungle?" "All that heat and humidity and no support or backup." "He knew the danger." "But he still volunteered." "Why?" "Did you know a police officer attended the Tsuge School... shortly before the creation of the Mobile Police?" "Shinobu Nagumo." "She was Tsuge's finest student." "He considered her his partner." "There was some sort of scandal, but the details were covered up." "These things happen between men and women." "It would have been fine if he hadn't been married." " Did you investigate?" " Everyone knew about it." "I didn't want to pry into the personal life of a colleague." "Colleague?" "If you say so." "But the department never forgives a moral lapse." "Her career should have been on a fast track." "Instead, she's been exiled to a landfill in the bay." "All because of Tsuge?" "I couldn't say." "Captain!" "You certainly have showy uniforms." "Yeah, it looks terrible on me." "At least you get normal clothes." "I wish I did." "I can't just wear plain clothes." "I have to blend in but still look different from my targets." "We have to put up with that in my line of work." "I see." "See you later." "What's he after?" "Is he trying to start his own little war?" "Trying?" "He's already succeeded." "The only question left is:" "Who will win?" "Captain Goto... we're both officers serving our country." "What exactly are we trying to protect?" "Japan hasn't seen warfare since World War II." "You and I have lived our entire lives in a time of peace." "Peace." "That's what we're fighting to protect." "But what does peace really mean to Japan?" "Once, our obsession with war ended in defeat." "Then we had the American occupation." "America continued with the arms race, Cold War and proxy wars." "Today, the globe is engulfed... in racial violence and civil wars." "Japan's prosperity is built on... the corpses from those wars." "Our peace comes from ignoring... the misery in this world." "Other nations have been paying the price for world stability." "But Japan has closed its eyes to the suffering out there." "We may scorn the terms of peace... but we must protect it." "And unjust peace is far better than a just war." "I can understand your hatred of"just" wars." "The despots of the world love to launch their crusades forjustice." "People have fallen for that line... throughout history." "But there's a fuzzy line... between an unjust peace... and a just war." "When liars use "peace"as a tool... peace can no longer be trusted." "As war is followed by peace... peace inevitably leads to war." "Someday we'll realize that peace... is more than an absence of war." "Have you considered that?" "We profit from war... while the battle rages behind us." "We should remember how close we are to the front lines." "Or maybe we're trying to forget." "But sooner or later, our punishment will be handed down." "Punishment?" "And who's going to punish us?" "God?" "These days anyone can be a god." "Omnipresent and omniscient." "Creating strange new realities." "But God is impotent." "And if God doesn't act, then man will." "It will happen." "Unless we can stop them first." "I'm aware of that." "Yes..." "That's why I don't think..." "But, sir!" "We have to be prepared for that eventuality!" "These orders come directly from the Inspector General!" "Tomorrow at 7.00 a.m., you will activate all units." "You will report to Precinct Command." "And you will surround Nerima Army Base." "This is an order!" "Are we mobilizing?" "Shinobu?" "The police ordered all planes at Misawa to remain grounded." "The base commander was driving to Tokyo... to protest." "But as soon as his car left the base... he was arrested." "Aomori's police chief was always a toady... but this is absurd!" "Does he think he'll get away... with an insult like that?" "The base has cut communications and is preparing for a siege." "How can you go wandering off at a time like this?" "Even if you were off duty, you were still AWOL!" "And you commandeered a speedboat to go pick you up!" "What about your promise to keep me informed?" "I'm sorry!" "Really!" "But would you have given me permission to go see Arakawa?" "That man?" "Hardly." "And considering the circumstances... a police officer shouldn't be meeting with JSDF intelligence!" "This is exactly why I have to keep seeing him." " What was that?" " Calm down and think about it." "Everybody sees a crisis and feels they have to do something!" "They rush into action without considering the consequences." "Isn't that the problem?" "When an emergency comes up, it's our duty to help out." "But what's the best way to help?" "There's been nothing but panic ever since the bridge explosion." "They're desperate... the fighter scare was a perfect example." "Central Air Command actually ordered an attack!" "Now our boss smells opportunity:" "Why not show off the troops?" "But will it really help, having the police infuriate the army?" "If Tsuge is really behind this... he's quite a strategist." "He only needed a single missile... to set his plan in motion." "Let's boycott the mobilization tomorrow." "I don't want to mobilize either." "But my orders come from the Chief of Police." "My division won't do it." "I could order you to do it." "Go ahead." "Order me." "Fine!" "From now on, our divisions are completely independent!" "I'll move to the station chief's office since it's available." "Wait!" "That's not what I..." "Shinobu?" "I'll collect my things later." "Excuse me." "But..." "Moving out won't make me do it!" "Shinobu?" "I've changed my mind." "Yes, just now." "This is the scene above Nerima Army Base." "Yesterday, Misawa Air Base sent a call for help... and their comrades in theJSDF have answered that call." "Even Tokyo's elite 1 st Division has joined the alliance." "Hey!" "Why haven't you mobilized your Labors?" "Your Labors are still on their trailers!" "Explain yourself!" "Oh, these?" "They're malfunctioning." "Malfunctioning?" "Second Section wouldn't send out broken Labors." " Don't lie to me!" " It's true." "Well, you can still stand them up." "Do it." "They are malfunctioning." "If one of them fell... it would embarrass us on national TV." "Is this an order?" "You're trying to undermine my authority!" "I'll report this to the chief!" "Consider yourself warned!" " Goto here." " It's me." "I'm watching it all on TV." "Having problems?" "The Inspector General panicked once his toady went too far." "Our idiotic boss is only making it worse." "It's the same for us." "The military is fine." "It's just the top commanders that are bad." "The head of each division just quit." "They resigned en masse." "Really?" "That was about 30 minutes ago." "It'll hit the news soon." "They'll finally tell the truth about the Bay Bridge... but no one will believe them after this disaster." "The Americans will deny it." "So now we can't reveal the truth... and our best way to control the crisis is gone." "Another support beam has just been knocked away." "Are you still listening?" "Yeah, though I'd rather not be." "Well, keep listening because here's the best part." "The bureaucrats need a scapegoat." "Guess who?" "They're blaming the police." "It doesn't solve anything, but it lets them avoid responsibility." "Are you serious?" "Completely." "This drama is miscast." "No one's willing to play the lead." "And now our national security is under civilian control." "Tsuge saw his troops killed under civilian control." "So now he's placed Japan under the same conditions." "Onaga 2 to Command." "Sighting confirmed on Komagado 1 and 2." "EMERGENCY BROADCAST" "This is an emergency broadcast... to all viewers in Tokyo." "Please alert everyone... who is not near a radio or TV." "The Chief Cabinet Secretary has an emergency announcement." "In order to maintain public order during these disturbing events... units of theJSDF army have been ordered to mobilize." "The Diet will respond... to the Secretary's statements." "The recent military incidents indicate a national emergency." "So far, the police have been unable... to contain the crisis." "These divisions are known to be turning out." "Eastern Army..." " Sit down!" " But, sir!" "Just sit down!" "Fuji Research Division, Special Forces, Mobile Research Unit..." "Procurement Section." "It's me." "Listen carefully." "We need emergency provisions!" "Buy anything edible in the store!" "I'm sending reinforcements!" "The shopping attack will commence immediately!" "Good evening." "Officer Buchiyama!" "You idiots!" "What do you think you're doing?" "This isn't a picnic!" "We're fighting for survival here!" "Go to the back room and get ramen by the box!" "BY THE BO X!" "We're purchasing all edibles in the store." "By order of Second Section!" "Check the fuel supplies!" "Make sure all batteries are charged!" " We are now on 24-hour alert!" " Shige?" "Prepare for war!" "Toilet paper is now rationed to 15 centimeters per man!" "Hey, Shige." "Here they come!" "Geez!" "They've got Nineties and Komatsu Type 2's!" "This is Onaga." "Ohtori 1 and 2 have landed at Defense Headquarters." "Over." "Your signal is fading." "Switch to frequency 105." "There is another train one minute behind the train just pulling into the platform" "Please stay well back and allow the passengers off the train before attempting to board it." "It's important to remember that no regulations are enforced that prejudice your civil rights under the constitution." "Of course some self-sacrifice for the public good may be..." " Second Section." " Goto?" "Matsui!" "How are you?" "Rotten, although my health is fine." " How is it on your end?" " It's still quiet here." "But if any of the occupation troops are in Tsuge's group... we'll probably see some action." " Where are you?" " In Fussa." "I'm watching the Shinteito Airship Company." "Airships?" "What for?" "Arakawa's information listed a nonprofit corporation..." ""East Asia Peace."" "That went bankrupt last year." "But they bought this company first and transferred staff over." "They bought three blimps six months ago." "You might have seen them flying over the city." "I got a hunch." "Nice piece of investigation." "Follow the money or the women." "I'm no good with women, so I followed the cash flow." "Tsuge's backers were afraid he's run wild, so they closed shop." "But they couldn't hide his bank records." "How'd you get those?" "Trade secret." "Anyway, it wouldn't work for a military man." "There they are." "And honest citizens don't carry rifles." "Showing rifles outside?" "That's pretty arrogant." "A week before the bridge blew up... the company made a huge purchase." "They sent a payment to America and received three mysterious items." "Three blimps, three items." "Could they have nuclear bombs?" "Maybe." "Yokota Air Base is nearby." "Customs doesn't check the U.S. Air Force." "Time to try the direct approach." "You don't expect me to break in?" "Vandalism." "Unlawful entry." "Robbery maybe." "Maybe even reckless endangerment." "Why am I doing this?" "Looks like he's an amateur." "A burglar?" "No, he looks familiar." "I know." "He's a detective." "He works with Goto sometimes." "Should I kill him?" "Our orders are to use nonlethal means." "Put him to sleep." "We don't have time for anything else." "Get him." "For me?" "Whoever he was, he really wanted to talk to you." "He called the station, but..." "I see." "Thank you." "What about dinner?" "I just came to pick up some papers." "I have to go right back." "Hello?" "This is Nagumo." "You sound well." "Stop!" "Don't." "It's too dark." "You'll miss." "Contact the ground crew." "They might have a chance." "A woman." "I knew it." "How'd you find out?" "A good informant acts with the best of intentions." "A parent will do anything to protect her child." "She told you?" "No, I'm no good with that type of woman." "But some people have surprising connections." "I need a phone!" "We aren't deploying attack helicopters." "State your regiment and base of origin." "This is Gong Zero." "Commence the operation." "Roger." "Commencing operation." "Hey, what was that?" "What operations?" "I realize it's early, but we must consider this an emergency." "What constitutes an appropriate police response in this case?" "To underscore this, Inspector General Kaiho has joined us." "Thank you for coming, Inspector." "Our first order of business:" "Kanagawa's Mobile Police were ordered to mobilize this morning." "The order was given by the Deputy Section Chief." "Ms. Nagumo, I hope you can explain this." "First, there's something I'd like to say to everyone present." "We don't want your opinions." "You never sought MY advice." "Instead, you exceeded your authority." "You rashly threw the police hierarchy into disarray... and added to the confusion and panic throughout Tokyo." "Wasn't it also rash to arrest a JSDF air base commander?" "What about the decision to surround Nerima Army Base?" "There was no justification or proof of any wrongdoing." "My actions are merely a reaction to this emergency." "And we all know what triggered the crisis." "Certain elite parties decided to exploit the public's fear!" " How dare you!" " Ms. Nagumo... we'll return to your political accusations in a moment." "But who exactly are these "elite parties" you spoke of?" "Why not answer that yourself?" "Excuse me a moment." " Hey, wait!" " Let him go." "Goto?" "Yeah, I blew it." "But, listen, 15 minutes ago all three blimps took off." "Okay, I'll do it." "Who's responsible for triggering this disaster?" "Who surrounded the air base and inflamed the military's paranoia?" "I'd like to hear answers to that before arguing procedure." "There are former police officers at the Ministry of Defense." "They say this is now a political situation." "Our efforts are intended to help them, not provoke them." "We need to restore normality." "Then certain parties should step forward." "They should admit their failure and accept responsibility." "Japan is no longer the only nation involved in this affair." "The outside world may view these troubles as a civil war." "The U.S. Military may intervene." "The police can't afford to admit fault." "That might panic the public and endanger national security." "You're hiding behind a lunatic fantasy." "How can you call yourself police?" "I've given you free rein... since you helped create the Mobile Police." "But I will not tolerate this!" "Officer Nagumo, you are hereby removed from your post." "You are on restricted duty until further notice." "Don't touch me!" "Mr. Goto?" "Do you have anything to say?" "You get too optimistic when you're far from the battle." "You lose contact with reality and become indecisive." "Particularly when you're losing the war." "What are you talking about?" "There's no war going on." "There certainly is." "We're just too late in realizing it." "Tsuge started a war once he got back." "Maybe he started it long before that." "Please excuse me, but I've lost patience with you." "I accept restricted duty with Officer Nagumo." "Goto, I thought you were smarter than that." "Take them both away." "A helicopter is blowing up bridges in Tokyo Bay!" "I told you we were too late!" "We're starting to lose communications signals!" "Switch the international lines to the backup cables." "What's the damage?" "Something's happening to the main lines!" "The harbor, Chuo, Shinjuku, Bunkyo, Setagaya!" "They're all dropping off the net!" "What the hell are you doing?" "You were about to quit, weren't you?" "You can't give up." "We couldn't stop him, but we aren't finished yet." "We can't go back to Second Section." "I think it's been destroyed, but we still have a chance." "We still have a way to fight him." "Come in!" "This is Okini-220606." "Over." "Tank Squadron 2 to Central Command." "Come in!" "Tank 2, do you hear me?" "Tank 3, come in!" "This is Defense Group 201." "Come in." "Headquarters, do you read me?" "This is Onaga-3." "One civilian airship flying over Tokyo." "This is Onaga-3." "Hawkwind, this is Fuzzyball." "We detect jamming on all frequencies in the Tokyo area." "The chickens can eat bugs, and the greenhouse should be okay." "They'll be all right." "Everything at Second Section is built to look after itself." "Shige, why are the mechanics taking all this junk away?" "Captain Goto made arrangements for just such an event." "Sorry I couldn't tell you." "Well, this mess needs to be cleaned up." "But I'll leave that to you guys." "Turn it off." "We won't hear anything useful." "I'm surprised to hear anything." "I thought it was all destroyed." "That's the way it is with jamming." "A word or two, then static." "It just gives you ear strain." "Well, what about it?" "Well, I'm sure the soldiers had their complaints... but I can't believe the JSDF wanted to stage a coup d'état." "They haven't taken any government buildings... and they haven't made any political demands." "That's what a real coup would do." "They don't have any demands, because this isn't a coup." "They hit communications to start a panic." "Disaster isn't a byproduct." "It's the final goal." "This is just terrorism, disguised as a coup." "It's a master criminal's perfect crime." "He's giving us a taste of war." "Maybe this is just a war drama... using the city as his stage." "The only way to end this is to find the criminal and arrest him." "I don't know." "Why would he do such a thing?" "I have an idea, but the only way to find out is to ask him." "Well, I have to go." "Take care of things for me." "That's the kitchen door." "I'm a fugitive now." "I just want to make sure you know." "Yeah, I know. "Don't force any of the youngsters into this."" "Thanks." "Ms. Nagumo, you shouldn't brood over what you couldn't do." "Instead, think about what you can do next." "Mr. Sakaki!" "They're here." " It's him!" " Mr. Sakaki!" " You all know what we have to do!" " Yes, sir!" "They destroyed Second Section, but they haven't beaten us!" "Now we'll make them pay for their crimes." "Bring everyone to Hachioji!" "If there's anyone who won't join us... tie a rope around their neck and drag them there if you have to!" "Honey!" "Don't leave me!" "You were just promoted!" "Why do you have to leave me now?" "Forgive me, but I can't ignore my duty." "This is too important." "Everyone is depending on me." "I'm pregnant." "I'm carrying our second child." "How long is this going to take?" "We can't wait any longer!" "We're just borrowing him." "We'll bring him back later." "Thieves!" "Villains!" "Kidnappers!" "Mikiyasu, come back to me!" "I'm glad you're taking him off our hands." "He wanted his students to stage a counterattack on the city!" "Subduing him was hard work." "How many students joined him?" "The kids today are too smart to follow fanatic enthusiasm." " Ota, you've got company." " Long time, no see!" " Hey, Ota!" "How are you?" " You're late!" "What's wrong?" "You could still pull out." "This isn't an official mission." "You could be thrown off the force or lose your Labor license." "Still want to do it?" "I think you're more confused about this than I am." "I usually am." "I'm more than just a girl who likes Labors." "Maybe it's time for me to move on." "Please, start the car." "It's unmanned." "It's just flying around the city on autopilot." "Let's bag it before the army beats us to it." " Don't miss it." " How can I miss a target that big?" " The birds are in the way." " Who cares?" "Shoot them too!" "It's going down!" "What did you hit?" "I only hit the pod!" "I barely scratched it!" "Look out!" "It's gas!" "Get everyone without protective gear to the top of the buildings." "What are you doing?" "Get those people to a shelter!" "It was harmless?" "It was just colored gas." "It couldn't hurt a fly." "But it had an enormous effect." "If it had been the real thing..." "It was a bluff?" "No, there really was poison gas on board." "This was either a threat or a malfunction." "But the authorities don't want to provoke him." "I knew he had something big in mind for those huge blimps." "He has a million hostages." "It's two birds with one stone." "We have a stalemate." "Maybe not." "Look at this." "An aerial photo of the bay." "Landfill lot 18." "The second photo is a magnification." "It's a helicopter that was shot down." "Our analysts say that dish... is a mobile communications unit." "That's his main base." " That's how he controls the blimps?" " It has to be." "It's too small for jamming." "He probably uses a narrowband... encrypted burst signal." "That might cut through the static and ECM." "It's pointless to have a weapon you can't control." "What's the frequency and encryption?" "Ask Tsuge." "He's right there on Lot 18." "Why don't we drop a missile on him?" "He's sending regular pulses to the blimps." "If they stop, the blimps switch to a doomsday program." "That's what I would have done." "Know where we got that picture?" "The U.S. Military?" "The U.S. Has been monitoring this since day one." "One hour ago, the U.S. Ambassador gave us notice." "If we can't solve this by 7:00 a.m., the U.S. Will intervene." "The Seventh Fleet is heading this way at top speed." "Every American air base in Japan is already on alert." "That would be stupid." "They'll do it." "There's no friendship between nations." "This is the chance they've been waiting for." "Japan will have to start over again like after World War II." "Double-check the electronics and the transmission." "They'll be out of reach once the armor goes on." "They're a good crew." "They grew up on these machines." "We can pick up the pace now." "We're planning a surprise attack on the enemy's base at Lot 18." "Both land and sea approaches are out." "Instead, we'll use a leftover from the Babylon Project." "It's a Labor access tunnel." " Take the next part." " Yes, ma'am." "It's nearly 1,200 meters... from the entrance across to the target." "The problem is in this final passage:" "An underwater tunnel with caisson construction." "This tunnel is 250 meters long." "An inclined elevator drops 50 meters down." "The final tunnel is 200 meters long and 9 meters tall." "At the end of that, an elevator shaft rises up to Lot 18." "A perfect spot for an ambush!" "We have to assume that our enemy is aware of the tunnel." "How will we get to the entrance?" "Any sympathizer in the city could give us away." "Captain Goto is working on that right now." "Captain Goto?" "It's a real antitank gun." "Give me a Vulcan cannon or something!" "Don't you have anything GOOD?" "A riot gun loaded with slugs... can stop a military Labor." "You can do it." "Just close one eye and aim carefully." "Well, I'm pretty busy." "But what if we come up against tanks?" "Then I guess you close both eyes." "Yeah, that's good!" "Stop!" "What are you two doing?" "We got a data disk from Matsui." "We're trying to decode it." " Decode it?" " Hey, here it comes." "Shimbashi" "I never even heard of this place." "They built it during the industrial revolution." "It was closed in 1943, and it's waited here more than 50 years." "It's the "Phantom Station" that links the new city to the old." "They never did use it." "There are probably a lot of places like this in the city." "And no one ever knew." "Here they come." "All troops, fall in!" "It's good to see you." "Shinohara..." "Izumi..." "Shinshi..." "Ota... and Yamazaki." "Your mission is to escort Captain Nagumo and infiltrate Lot 18... and arrest the man behind this crisis." "Captain Nagumo will be in command." "Eliminate all obstacles in your path." "This will be the final mission of Division 2." "Good luck." "Let's move out!" "All troops:" "On board." "Shinobu?" "Don't let him take you down with him." "Just arrest him and come back." "I'll be waiting for you." "Move out!" "Why aren't you going with them?" "I have too much to do here." "Now, although you've been very helpful, you're under arrest." "Everyone freeze!" "Shigeki Arakawa... you're charged with obstruction of justice and other crimes." "Please explain yourself." "Your recent information... has been too fast and too accurate." "It's true, isn't it?" "You've been his accomplice all along." "All you wanted was a political demonstration... but Tsuge betrayed you." "He wanted a real war, so he went underground." "You were trapped." "You couldn't ask for police help, but you could use Second Section." "And you could watch Nagumo." "Two birds with one stone." "That's just guesswork." "The night before the revolt, you let Tsuge get away." "One shot, and the Defense Force would have swarmed over him." "It was a narrow canal." "He would have been caught." "But you let him get away." "Why?" "Because you had to get Tsuge yourself." "He had to be stopped... without spilling your role in this." "The clincher is that you turned... to a gang of losers like us." "No real official would do that." "I could say the same about you." "Two types of people work outside the system:" "Villains and allies of justice." "Mr. Arakawa, your story was very entertaining." "A false peace and a real war." "But if our peace is just a sham..." "Tsuge's war is more of a sham." "Tokyo is too small for a real war." "A real war?" "Wars are always unreal." "There's never been a single war that made sense." "I'm here because I'm a cop." "Why aren't you at Tsuge's side?" "Let's go." "I expected those." "Ecstors:" "A battle robot from the U.S. Army." "They're cable-controlled mobile cannons." "They'll be trouble." "You draw their fire." "Shinshi and I will go around back." "We'll cut the cables, then Labor 3 can send out ECM." "Let's plan on that, and then play it by ear." "Okay?" "It's the only way." "Ota, you're point." "Noah, hang back and protect the captain." "Hiromi, stay here and provide cover." "Wait for my flare." "Come and get me, demons!" " Ota, you are such an idiot!" " Shut up!" "Ota, what are you doing?" "Damn it!" "While I'm trying to get off one shot, I take a hundred." "You can't beat it at close range!" "Hiromi, where was my cover fire?" "Everything went white." "I couldn't see." "It was so bright, I was afraid I was going to fall." "This isn't going to work." "The robots are as dumb as Ota, but they're controlled by humans." "What did you say?" "What'll we do?" "Stop bitching and get moving!" " Hey, wait!" " I'm going too!" "Izumi!" "Damn it!" "Hiromi!" "Start shooting!" "Ota!" "Eat this!" "Ota!" "Asuma!" "I can't hold on!" "Asuma!" "Ota!" "Ota!" "Are you all right, Ota?" "Answer me!" "What beautiful flowers!" "The white flowers smell so pretty!" "They're moving." "Nagumo!" "Captain Nagumo!" "This is Nagumo." "Stand by on the ECM." "Shinohara, where are you?" "Once I cut the cables... they'll fire at anything that doesn't show a proper ID." "Hit them with everything you've got!" "Ota, have you finally woken up?" "Get ready for your favorite." "Close combat!" "Captain!" "All troops:" "Prepare for a maximum-band jamming signal." "Deactivate all sensors and get ready." "Here we go!" "Eat this, you Martian bastard!" "Then I'll fight you this way!" "Izumi!" "Help me kill this thing!" " They broke the ceiling!" " We'll drown!" "Captain!" "Go!" " But..." " Hurry!" "Hiromi!" "Run!" "Out of my way!" "The city almost looks like a mirage from here." "Perhaps, but there are real people living there." "Do you think they're just mirages too?" "Three years ago, I returned and lived inside that mirage." "That's when I realized that I had to expose the illusion." "No one figured it out until the first gunshot rang out." "I suppose they still don't realize." "I'm standing right here." "I'm not a mirage." "Go ahead." "Send the signal." "Full power." "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth?" "I tell you, Nay, but rather division." "For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided... three against two and two against three." "The father shall be divided against the son... and the son against the father... mother against the daughter and the daughter against the mother." "You remembered that?" "When you returned to Japan, that was all you wrote in your letter." "I thought you were trying to put your experience into words." "People are always too slow in gaining their realizations." "I suppose I'll have to pay for that." "Yukihito Tsuge, you're under arrest." "Do you read me?" "Shinohara?" "This is Shinohara!" "Captain!" "Hey, we can hear the captain over the radio!" "They've stopped the jamming!" "All right!" "Captain!" "Captain!" "I guess they're all I've got." "The men you sent out by boat just surrendered." "We don't know how many people died in the panic you caused." "We can't even guess how extensive the damage is." "Can you tell me one thing?" "After setting all this off, why didn't you just kill yourself?" "I think I wanted to see just a bit more." "More of what?" "This city's future."
