"into data yet..." "The device to inject sleeping gas into the air conditioning system is now installed between the outer wall and the roof." "and wait for the sign..." "Are you guys cops!" "?" "There is no such thing as justice in ths world... change yourself first!" "close your eyes and ears and live in solitude!" "If you don't like that either..." "Major... tell them to equip with A-2..." "I am 8-2-D3..." "Batou?" "I'm listening..." "Section-9" "I can't hand over command without a good reason!" "This case is under Police jurisdiction!" "I don't have to explain anything to you... just hand over command to our army..." "You two!" "Is this the time to be selfishly quarrelling?" "Aramaki!" "right? the chairman of the minister's supporters organization and two visitors from the North American Industry Support Association..." "It's been 17 minutes since the geisha robots captured them." "said that two of them might have been killed." "inside the restaurant... or demand?" "Not at this point..." "Communication blockade?" "We're on..." "News Censorship?" "it won't last long... will be taking on this case now." "Stanby until then." "Kubota..." "Tell me why the army wants to be involved..." "One of our men is inside." "I can't tell you more than that for now." "tell me about it later." "Leave it to me." "Major!" "Not yet!" "The army wants to be involved..." "Watch your back!" "Thanks for the advice..." "Batou!" "Not yet!" "So that was the wiretap I heard when I was listening in on the Sniping Group's communications..." "Togusa!" "Ishikawa!" "there are too many lines." "It'll take me at least 2 hours to find it." "and be ready to strike!" "Roger!" "Saitou! so I can only do limited sniping..." "Pazu!" "Bouma!" "Anytime." "Don't shoot the transmitter though." "Send the virus out before the guy erases the evidence!" "Major!" "What if the robot geishas ask to entertain us?" "You..." "Everyone stay put!" "Stand-by OK!" "strike!" "GO!" "Pazu!" "Bouma!" "Follow the hunting virus!" "Batou support them!" "Sounds great!" "Don't space out Togusa!" "Chief!" "We have the scene under control." "One of the hostages needs emergency treatment..." "There's a severe external wound... is confirmed dead..." "Batou and the others are pursuing the culprit." "guide the minister and the rest out of the restaurant..." "But be alert!" "I have the passage lighted and 4 wagons ready at the main entrance..." "Move to alert level B-6." "Roger." "can you walk?" "Yeah..." "Thanks for helping me..." "Major!" "The target is a cyborg..." "Gathering detailed information." "I can't find any others right now." "Don't kill him until we know what he was waiting for..." "Bouma!" "I'm going to catch up with you soon!" "Don't jump out in front of the car!" "Do I look like a child?" "Tachikoma!" "Are you following me?" "Tachikoma!" "Give up yet...?" "Shit..." "I might've screwed up..." "Come in." "now?" "the one shot in the head... was my man." "and I ordered her to make secret inquiries..." "Inquiries about the minister?" "There seems to be some interest around him lately regarding the Ichinose Report... right?" "of course the army won't refuse if the minister wants us to release it..." "But it wasn't the minister himself who ordered it..." "And we have been doing this safely... just normal business." "Then why was she shot?" "She might have been erased because she knew something..." "Anything related to the Minister?" "but nothing..." "He wasn't being threatened and there was no unusual activity in his account either." "There's only you." "Now I'm screwed..." "I was thinking about taking on this case..." "How about it?" "Great..." "But don't do anything that will leave a scar on your career." "I'm going to take full responsibility if you should fail." "So?" "and find out exactly what was going on inside the restaurant..." "I will look into the relationship between the army and the Ichinose Report." "Oh?" "Isn't he your friend?" "that's why I'm the one who's investigating it!" "Erasing his own memory..." "He sure has guts..." "There might have been side-effects on his brain..." "And I'm being laughed at by everyone... isn't it?" "If you're going to bother with shooting practice..." "I recommend that you get an artificial body..." "Are you saying I should become a cyborg?" "I'm not stupid enough to mix orders for work-related and private matters." "but you should have dealt with it according to the situation." "right?" "Why do you think I pulled you out of the central office?" "Don't you think it's better to try and contribute by doing what you're good at instead of being depressed?" "We're going to closely examine what was going on for the 10 minutes before our strike!" "How's your grandson?" "What do you think?" "Boy you're impatient..." "The Ichinose Report won't affect the army in any financial way..." "There's nothing you would be interested in either." "who's idea was it?" "Soldiers who would loose out because of it aren't in a position to know about it... it's safer..." your words..." "You haven't changed..." "There's a new restaurant with good shrimp..." "How about it?" "Maybe next time..." "The major is waiting." "What did you find out? and the video from the camera inside the restaurant both bug me." "This man was supposed to have a spinal unit mode for him by the North American Neutron Company... it didn't add up to the original one." "The next image is the foreign minister and a geisha in front of the restroom." "With a geisha?" "it seems that he was drunk and having fun swiching bodies with a geisha." "That's the visitor from the North American Industry." "Does he "play" too?" "I have no idea." "I didn't find any images of what was going on inside the restroom." "all worried about the minister." "That's where the secretary was attacked..." "This is different than what the other visito told us." "He siad the visitor was attacked before the secretary. but he told us he thought he heard the secretary's scream first." "What did the secretary see...?" "What did she see...?" "can you walk?" "thanks for saving me." "Major!" "right?" "so?" "What if the minister had his brain core switched? his looks..." "The secretary must have witnessed the minister's brain being switched..." "Ishikawa!" "Kubota!" "This is Aramaki!" "About the minister of Foreign Affairs..." "The minister was here with the visitors from the North American Industry Support Association..." "They took the Ichinose Report with them!" "but..." "Where is the minister now?" "He's on his way to the airport." "He's going to give a speech at the party for the North American Industry Support Association." "I heard he's flying to America." "Batou!" "Equip with L-2 it's an emergency!" "we'll head to the airport!" "Minister!" "your private plane has been delayed 15 minutes late due to bad weather..." "Is that so...?" "We're moving out!" "Minister!" "your jet is ready... hold it right there Minister!" "it's you!" "Thank you for the other day..." "Is something wrong?" "I was sent here to give you this." "What is this?" "I will resign from office... an official resignation!" "?" "you are no longer a minister." "What!" "?" "What authority do you have!" "?" "this is an official matter." "go ahead and confirm it yourself. and of being a political exile from various countries." "Please come with us to the station..." "You!" "Who do you think you are?" "Stop!" "He is not the minister you should be guarding!" "We have the brain core secured..." "You have a lot of explaining to do about who you are..." "Take him away... to have her brain supported by Cyberbrain technology and micro-machines... but nothing that would be a difficulty in everyday life." "That's good." "but thanks for everything... and thought matters were settled... the media would be in panic about the Minister of Foreign Affairs spying and in exile..." "I still can't believe you got the papers needed to persuade a politician in such a short time... always be prepared... and the plane came late..." "Section 9... are you looking?" "Hey..." "Hey." "Gentlemen!" "Communication is conversation." "did you?" "We always just use cables to communicate." "It's time that we learn to use spoken language for a change!" "What's he talking about?" "Who knows?" "is we use a cable we get and understand the images immediately." "the more profitable it is." "I think humans should abandon their primitive protocol." "I agree!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "What are you talking about?" "and don't leave out the voice box that lets us input and output sound." "both spoken and written languages are full of weaknesses." "I think it's very dangerous to rely on language as a tool of information transmission." "right?" "wouldn't the Major say we're babbling?" "Help!"
