[00:08] Funa
    Regarding the Kouki Education
    Academy student's essay,
[00:10] Funa
    it appears to have been an analysis of
    data sent by an unknown sender.
[00:15] Rin
    But that's not something you
    can analyze just like that.
[00:21] Haruka
    Huh?
[00:22] Kuro
    What's wrong? You're not on call.
[00:23] Sena
    I just remembered I only put it to sleep.
[00:27] Sena
    Someone tends to mess around
    with it without permission.
[00:29] Liko
    Want to shut down?
[00:33] Kuro
    Why do you have to put everything in folders?
[00:36] Kuro
    Well, I'm off for a run.
[00:38] Sena
    Hey, wait a minute.
[00:41] Asami
    It's rare to see them having a
    normal conversation like that.
[00:44] Haruka
    Not sure I'd call it a conversation.
    More like a lecture.
[00:47] Sena
    I said wait!
[00:50] Kuro
    What? If it's about your desktop...
[00:52] Sena
    It's about Kazari Asami.
[00:55] Kuro
    You want to shoot her down that bad?
[00:57] Sena
    Quite the opposite.
[00:57] Kuro
    Huh?
[00:58] Sena
    She's an even bigger troublemaker than you,
[01:00] Sena
    but at least she tries.
[01:03] Sena
    I'd like your help in getting her up
    to speed as soon as possible.
[01:07] Sena
    Also, she's a minor.
[01:09] Sena
    We shouldn't bring her when we drink—
[01:11] Kuro
    Don't be such a stiff.
[01:12] Kuro
    Oh! I need to repay you for the last time.
[01:17] Sena
    Jeez, you're so like her.
[01:19] Sena
    Both of you lack attention to detail.
[01:22] Sena
    Here's the change.
[01:32] Sena
    In response to an increase in heinous crimes,
[01:34] Sena
    a new movement is picking up steam in police
    and security forces around the world.
[01:40] ---
    This is the story of the services
    performed by ACTIVE in Japan.
SIGN    File 4: Holding Airspace
[03:01] Flight
    Ladies and gentlemen,
    we have begun our descent.
[03:05] Flight
    Please return your seats and trays
    to their upright positions,
[03:08] Flight
    and fasten your seatbelts.
[03:10] Secretary
    Five minutes behind schedule.
[03:12] Secretary
    Sir, we have plenty of time.
[03:14] Diet
    Yeah.
[03:15] Secretary
    Your daughter may have entered
    the ceremony hall by now.
[03:18] Diet
    She sent me this right before takeoff.
SIGN    Dad, do you think you'll make it?
[03:21] Diet
    When I was informed a train derailed today,
    of all days, I was prepared for the worst,
[03:25] Diet
    but thank God there were
    fewer than ten casualties.
[03:27] Diet
    Bigger numbers mean more time.
[03:29] Secretary
    I was just hoping we wouldn't get stuck
    in economy for our flight back.
[03:34] Pilot
    Ladies and gentlemen,
    this is Manabe, your pilot.
[03:36] Pilot
    We were about to begin our approach,
[03:39] Pilot
    but we will now enter a holding pattern
    due to a problem at the airport.
[03:45] Diet
    What? But we're almost there...
[03:48] Diet
    My daughter's getting married!
[03:54] Media
    Defense Minister! What's going on?
[03:55] Media
    Did North Korea fire a missile?
[03:56] Minister1
    Not at all.
[03:58] Minister1
    It's nothing.
[04:04] Minister1
    Prime Minister, an aerial tanker is ready to go.
[04:07] PM
    Good.
[04:08] PM
    But how to interpret this situation?
[04:10] PM
    Unlike the hijacking six months ago,
[04:12] PM
    all we have this time is a
    bomb threat on the plane.
[04:16] Min2
    The flight happens to have Dietman
    Gouhara, from Shimane District 3.
[04:20] PM
    That's beside the point.
[04:21] Min3
    Perhaps it's a malicious prank?
[04:23] Min1
    But the threat was very specific,
    which lends it credibility.
[04:27] Min1
    The bomb was allegedly set in
    Flight 206's main wheel well,
[04:31] Min1
    and they even set the holding pattern.
[04:33] PM
    That's the problem.
[04:35] PM
    Orochi's "ro" unit is smack in the middle
    of that designated airspace.
[04:40] Min3
    There's a chance that the flight may crash.
[04:43] Min3
    We should evacuate residents.
[04:44] PM
    But if we don't exercise caution
    in our public statements,
[04:47] PM
    they'll find out about Orochi...
SIGN    There's a plane circling above Kichijouji... A hijacking? Anyone in Kichijouji know what's going on? Nothing on TV so far
[04:54] ---
    Now...
[04:56] Mutos
    What will the government's next move be?
[04:59] Customer
    Wow, I'm so excited.
[05:01] Customer
    I want to eat a fruit sandwich.
[05:05] Sena
    Yes?
[05:06] Rin
    Sena-kun, are you free right now?
[05:08] Sena
    Yes.
[05:09] Sena
    I successfully purchased a clubhouse sandwich.
    Only thirty are made per day.
[05:12] Sena
    I'm heading to Hakkeijima now to try out
[05:14] Sena
    a restaurant famous for soufflé pancakes—
[05:16] Rin
    Sorry! We have an emergency.
[05:17] Sena
    Huh?
[05:18] Rin
    The brass has ordered us to do an EOD.
[05:21] Sena
    But...
[05:23] Rin
    You're about to say they should just
    dispatch an EOD squad, right?
[05:26] Rin
    But it's not a dud.
[05:27] Rin
    There was a tip that a plane's
    been rigged with a bomb.
[05:31] Rin
    You're the only one specialized in EOD.
[05:35] Rin
    Also, the flight's in a holding
    pattern above Kichijouji.
[05:38] Sena
    So it's in our own backyard... Roger.
[05:41] Sena
    How's the fuel holding up?
[05:43] Rin
    For now, the United SDF will
    be doing aerial resupply.
[06:00] Rin
    Mobile assault vehicle, linking.
[06:02] Amano
    Linking.
[06:04] Hoshi
    Linking.
[06:12] Diet
    Hey, what's going on?
[06:14] Diet
    When are we going to land?
[06:16] Flight
    I'm so sorry for the delay.
[06:18] Flight
    We'll land as soon as the
    airport clears us for—
[06:20] Diet
    If Haneda won't clear us,
    why not another airport?
[06:22] Flight
    I'm very sorry. We're exploring
    all available options,
[06:25] Flight
    including landing at a different airport.
[06:28] Sena
    I'm back.
[06:29] Rin
    Sorry again.
[06:30] Rin
    We'll brief you while you suit up.
[06:32] Sena
    Got it.
[06:33] Kuro
    I'll go, too.
[06:35] Sena
    Why?
[06:35] Kuro
    Well, two's better than one, and all that.
[06:37] Sena
    It'd only distract me, so don't.
[06:41] Rin
    According to the perp's statement,
    the bomb was planted
[06:45] Rin
    in Flight 206's main wheel well.
[06:47] Rin
    The bomb will detonate if the
    flight crosses the borders of
[06:51] Rin
    the five wards around Musashino City.
[06:52] Rin
    It will also detonate if the flight's
    altitude falls below 15,000 feet.
[06:57] Sena
    So it can't leave this designated area?
[06:59] Rin
    Seems like it.
[07:00] Sena
    What are they after?
[07:02] Rin
    At the moment, there don't
    seem to be any demands.
[07:04] Rin
    For now, the mobile assault
    vehicle will depart Kichijouji
[07:08] Rin
    and rendezvous with the USDF at Haijima.
[07:10] Sena
    Understood.
[07:19] Benou
    There has been movement.
[07:27] Mutos
    Found them.
[07:29] Mutos
    They panicked.
[07:31] Mutos
    Fools cannot help but let their tongues wag.
[07:34] Mutos
    For now, I just want to find the entrance today.
[07:38] Mutos
    Will we need Bird's help, as well?
SIGN    Haijima
[07:45] Train
    We apologize for the disruption.
[07:48] Train
    Although the express train bound
    for Tokyo is scheduled to depart,
[07:52] Train
    it will leave after the mobile
    assault vehicle passes through.
[08:02] Rin
    Sena-kun, it appears they're ready to refuel.
[08:05] Rin
    Can you go on ahead?
[08:07] Sena
    Got it.
[08:13] Kuro
    All right...
[08:15] Asami
    Kuroki-san?
[08:16] Kuro
    I'm gonna get ready anyway.
[08:17] Asami
    I think it should be me,
    or at least Haruka-san.
[08:20] Asami
    Why do you harass him so much?
[08:22] Kuro
    Harass?
[08:23] Asami
    That's right! You're not
    letting Sena-san focus—
[08:26] Rin
    That's enough!
[08:27] Rin
    Kuroki-kun, please go.
[08:29] Kuro
    Roger!
[08:29] Asami
    Boss? Please explain!
[08:32] Rin
    He's our best at dealing with critical
    situations in emergencies.
[08:39] Staff
    That's Unit 8...
[08:44] Sena
    I'm here from Special Public
    Security Fifth Division,
[08:47] Sena
    Third Mobile Assault Unit 8.
[08:51] Miho
    It's been a while, Garbage Man Sena-kun.
[08:55] Miho
    I'm Ooshikouchi Miho, from the USDF.
[08:58] Miho
    Glad to work with you.
[08:59] Sena
    Er, right...
[09:02] Miho
    Since you're not that surprised,
    I suppose some intel's gone your way.
[09:06] Miho
    Anyway, that's how it is.
[09:07] Sena
    Um, so...
[09:09] Miho
    You want to say, "Why don't you handle it, then?"
[09:13] Miho
    I'd be happy to,
[09:14] Miho
    but the brass ordered us to help with
    refueling and do nothing else.
[09:18] Stuff
    Vitals, all green.
[09:21] Stuff
    All green.
[09:21] Stuff
    All green.
[09:23] Stuff
    Lock.
[09:28] Stuff
    Inner unit, begin output.
[09:32] Stuff
    Oscar II, set strike interceptor unit.
[09:51] Funa
    Oops, we were a second too late...
[09:55] Kuro
    I'll go after them. Just launch me!
[09:58] Funa
    Take care.
[09:59] Rin
    We're counting on you.
[10:09] Kuro
    All right, time to get to work.
[10:13] Diet
    Cut the crap!
[10:14] Diet
    Why do we keep going around and around?
[10:16] Diet
    What the hell's going on?!
[10:17] Flight
    Sir, please calm down.
[10:19] Flight
    We'll soon be—
[10:20] Diet
    I'm sick of hearing that from you!
[10:21] Diet
    I'm a member of the National Diet.
[10:23] Diet
    I want a proper explanation!
[10:25] Pilot
    This is Manabe, your pilot.
[10:26] Pilot
    I will now explain our situation.
[10:29] Pilot
    Our navigation systems have
    developed a malfunction,
[10:32] Pilot
    preventing us from landing safely.
[10:35] Pilot
    The USDF is sending a tanker
    to refuel us in mid-air,
[10:41] Pilot
    then specialists will repair the system.
[10:45] Pilot
    We apologize for the inconvenience,
[10:47] Pilot
    but please bear with us for a while longer.
[10:52] Diet
    Oh, the USDF!
[10:54] Kids
    Oh, a plane! A plane!
[11:00] Miho
    We'll get ready on our end, then.
[11:02] Sena
    All right.
[11:03] Rin
    Oscar I, this is just for your information.
[11:06] Sena
    What is it?
[11:07] Rin
    The government has decided not to disclose
[11:09] Rin
    the bomb's existence to the public.
[11:11] Sena
    Huh?
[11:12] Sena
    That's ridiculous.
[11:13] Sena
    If we don't disarm the bomb in time...
[11:17] Asami
    Why would they do that?
[11:19] Asami
    If they don't order an evacuation and
    the worst happens, it'll be a disaster!
[11:23] Funa
    My guess would be...
[11:24] Rin
    Orochi's "ro"?
[11:27] Sena
    The National Public Unified
    Intelligence Matrix?
[11:29] Funa
    Correct.
[11:31] Funa
    The specifics are classified,
[11:32] Funa
    but one of the three split data-modules
    is said to be in Kichijouji.
[11:36] Haruka
    Huh? That actually exists?
[11:39] Rin
    The government fears
    the data will be targeted
[11:41] Rin
    if there were a large-scale evacuation?
[11:43] Asami
    Nonsense!
[11:44] Asami
    So as long as the data is safe, they don't
    care what might happen to civilians?
[11:50] Rin
    That's not it.
[11:52] Rin
    There is no "might."
[11:54] Rin
    Failure is not an option in this mission.
[12:02] Kuro
    Crap.
[12:15] Miho
    Hey, I'm free after the refueling.
[12:17] Miho
    Can I come watch you work?
[12:19] Sena
    When did you get so malicious?
[12:21] Miho
    What do you mean?
[12:22] Sena
    We can't let anyone else get our data.
[12:26] Miho
    You're pretty loyal for a Unit 8 agent.
[12:29] Sena
    Thanks for noticing.
[12:30] Miho
    You used to be on our side.
[12:32] Miho
    Well, never mind. I'm going ahead.
[12:44] Miho
    HQ, this is Senbu. Starting refuel.
[12:46] Comm
    Start confirmed.
[12:47] Comm
    Start confirmed.
[12:51] Sena
    Kyoukai-san, I've never seen the
    Wears the USDF is using.
[12:56] Kyou
    Neither have I. Based on their form,
[12:58] Kyou
    I'd say they resemble Iwasaki's
    next-generation prototypes.
[13:02] Kyou
    Their stabilizers look pretty damn good.
[13:05] Miho
    Go ahead, garbage man.
[13:08] Sena
    Thank you for the courtesy.
[13:20] Sena
    Command, this is Oscar I.
[13:22] Sena
    I'm going to check if there are any other
    bombs outside the main wheel well.
[13:30] Miho
    Still tiresomely meticulous, I see.
[13:33] Miho
    I'm glad we broke up.
[13:34] Sena
    Stop twisting words around.
[13:38] Miho
    Later, officer!
[13:40] Sena
    Good work.
[13:43] Kuro
    Hey.
[13:44] Kuro
    This side's more stable.
[13:46] Sena
    I knew you'd follow me,
    you crude scatterbrain!
[13:50] Kuro
    They say two's better than one.
[13:54] Kuro
    If anything goes wrong, I'll figure it
    out with my big love and courage.
[13:58] Sena
    You're mixing up some song and the Bible.
[14:02] Sena
    Why can't you keep the two separate?
[14:04] Kuro
    No one asked you to. You should
    really stop being so nitpicky.
[14:08] Sena
    Whatever. Just stay out of my way.
[14:11] Kuro
    Fine, sure.
[14:12] Asami
    Why? I thought he'd tell him to go back.
[14:15] Haruka
    Once he shows up, you have no
    choice but to put him to use.
[14:18] Asami
    That's how it is?
[14:22] Sena
    Nothing here?
[14:23] Sena
    Maybe there.
[14:25] Secretary
    Sir, I've made arrangements for reaching
    the ceremony hall once we've landed.
[14:28] Diet
    Great!
[14:29] Diet
    I should text my daughter that I'll be there soon!
[14:32] Flight
    Sir, please keep your phone in airplane mode.
[14:37] Sena
    From here on out, can you keep yourself
    out of my field of vision?
[14:41] Kuro
    Yeah, yeah.
[14:51] Sena
    Here it is.
[14:53] Kyou
    At first glance, it looks pretty orthodox.
[14:55] Kyou
    If it had a remote detonator,
    it would've been trickier.
[14:59] Sena
    Talk about a silver lining.
[15:00] Sena
    Maybe it's safe to gear down.
[15:02] Kyou
    The change in mass due to refueling
    didn't cause an issue,
[15:06] Kyou
    so I'd say you're 98% safe.
[15:09] Control
    206, do you copy?
[15:11] Pilot
    This is 206, copy.
[15:12] Control
    A police squad will enter the
    right main wheel well.
[15:16] Control
    Gear down.
[15:17] Pilot
    Roger. Gearing down main wheels.
[15:32] Sena
    This looks really old-school.
[15:37] Sena
    I told you to stay out of my field of vision.
[15:39] Kuro
    I thought that was for outside.
[15:41] Sena
    I'm saying to give me some space.
[15:43] Kuro
    Don't treat me like a stalker!
    The world doesn't revolve around you!
[15:48] Sena
    Kyoukai-san, send over data for S—
[15:50] Sena
    no, PB03 bombs.
[15:53] Kyou
    All of it?
[15:54] Sena
    Yeah. I'll sort out the exact type on my end.
[16:01] Sena
    Got one. I think I can handle this.
[16:08] Sena
    What?
[16:10] Sena
    Wh-What is this?!
[16:12] Haruka
    Is that Tenten-kun, the guardian mascot
    for warding off fire disasters?
[16:15] Asami
    I'm surprised you knew that.
[16:17] Funa
    Don't worry, that doesn't pose any threat.
[16:20] Sena
    B-But...
[16:22] Kuro
    See?
[16:23] Kuro
    You can never tell what might happen!
[16:28] Diet
    I see...
[16:30] Diet
    They delayed the start by two hours.
[16:32] Diet
    That should be enough time.
[16:33] Secretary
    Well, sir...
[16:35] Diet
    What?
[16:35] Secretary
    Due to all the issues,
[16:37] Secretary
    the flight's heading to either Second
    Tokorozawa or Yurigaoka Airport.
[16:41] Secretary
    So even if they finish the repair right now,
[16:43] Secretary
    we'd only arrive at the ceremony hall at—
[16:45] Diet
    What?!
[16:46] Kuro
    Damned weasel bastard!
[16:48] Funa
    I wonder what the perp's thinking...
[16:50] Haruka
    Maybe he has no intention
    of blowing up the plane,
[16:53] Haruka
    given that he put a
    fire guardian mascot there.
[16:56] Kyou
    What do you think?
[16:57] Kuro
    Who the hell knows?!
[16:58] Kuro
    Meteor shower mode, type Jacobini 13!
[17:10] Sena
    All right.
[17:11] Sena
    Just need the password now.
[17:14] Sena
    Whoa!
[17:16] Sena
    You've got to be kidding.
[17:22] Rin
    Oscar I!
[17:23] Funa
    I really wonder what the perp's trying to do.
[17:41] Diet
    Hey, that's Unit 8!
[17:43] Diet
    That's why we're running late!
[17:46] Kuro
    See, two's better than one.
[17:48] Sena
    I haven't contested that fact.
[17:50] Sena
    I just don't like you.
[17:52] Kuro
    Huh?
[17:53] Kuro
    Now isn't the time to turn on me,
    you defense ministry flunky!
[17:57] Sena
    What did you say?
[17:58] Sena
    It's because of people like you that our
    division gets a bad public rap!
[18:01] Kuro
    Don't act so high and mighty.
[18:03] Kuro
    Even if it's a step down for you,
    for me, it's a way up the ladder.
[18:06] Kuro
    You should be happy for me!
[18:08] Sena
    Like hell I can be now!
[18:11] Kuro
    Huh?
[18:12] Sena
    Boss, did something happen?
[18:13] Rin
    Hurry, both of you!
[18:15] Rin
    Their second engine's down!
[18:17] Funa
    We may be headed for an emergency landing.
[18:21] Sena
    An emergency landing? But...
[18:22] Funa
    Right. It'll blow if it loses altitude.
[18:25] Kyou
    Hurry!
[18:26] Kyou
    You just need to enter the
    password to defuse the bomb!
[18:29] Kuro
    Fine!
[18:31] Sena
    Wait a minute...
[18:32] Sena
    Stop winging it, seriously!
[18:41] Kuro
    Details are the only thing you're
    good with. Keep it together!
[18:49] Haruka
    Oscar I, the flight's only 200
    feet from minimum altitude.
[18:52] Haruka
    170...
[18:53] Sena
    You scatterbrain, scatterbrain, scatterbrain!
[18:54] ---
    110... 60... 20...
[18:56] Kuro
    Good luck, blockhead!
[18:57] Asami
    They won't make it in time!
[18:58] Asami
    Ten.
[18:59] Funa
    Oscar I!
[19:00] Haruka
    Five. Four.
[19:01] Haruka
    Three. Two. One.
[19:01] Sena
    Final analysis!
[19:06] Kuro
    What happened?
[19:09] Kuro
    Good job, blockhead!
[19:11] Sena
    Shut up, scatterbrain.
[19:14] CoPilot
    Malfunction in right main wheel!
[19:16] KS
    Huh?
[19:19] Pilot
    We'll make a belly landing!
[19:20] Flight
    Lower your heads! Tighten your stomach!
[19:23] Flight
    Brace your legs! Tighten your stomach!
[19:24] Diet
    I'm going to die!
[19:25] Diet
    Who called Unit 8?!
[19:31] Haruka
    Paramedic and firefighting backup
    support units in position!
[19:33] Asami
    Start landing mission.
[19:35] Kyou
    Please don't! Stop!
[19:37] Rin
    Just do it! I give you full permission!
[19:39] Funa
    Just do it!
[19:45] Pilot
    We're maintaining balance?
[20:02] Kyou
    How could you sacrifice the units?
[20:09] Control
    Control tower to firefighting command.
[20:10] Control
    Report on aircraft's condition.
[20:12] Kuro
    Well, it all worked out... With our help.
[20:15] Sena
    But Kyoukai-san's furious.
[20:18] Kuro
    Then let's go celebrate without saying hi.
[20:20] Kuro
    Let's drink the night away.
[20:22] Diet
    Hey, was it you two?
[20:23] Diet
    Dumbass! Scum!
[20:25] Diet
    I missed a once-in-a-lifetime
    moment because of you two!
[20:28] Sena
    Huh?
[20:29] Diet
    Why was it Unit 8?
[20:31] Diet
    They should've left it to the professionals,
    but you just had to butt in!
[20:36] Kuro
    We're professionals, too.
[20:38] Diet
    Y-You bastard...
[20:41] Sena
    So we can't possibly partake in
    the celebratory drinks here.
[20:45] Sena
    We appreciate the thought, though.
[20:48] Secretary
    Sir, we can still make it in time.
[20:50] Secretary
    Let's hurry.
[20:51] Diet
    Mark my words!
[20:53] Diet
    I had no intention of
    letting the police have that!
[20:56] Sena
    Huh?
[20:57] Diet
    Unbelievable! I will pursue this as an issue!
[21:00] Diet
    A major one!
[21:01] Sena
    Was he talking about Willwears?
[21:06] Kids
    Hey!
[21:08] Kids
    You're the ones who saved us, right?
[21:11] Kids
    This is to thank you.
[21:15] Kuro
    Oh, thanks.
[21:16] Sena
    Wait.
[21:17] Sena
    They may construe this as taking a bribe.
[21:22] Sena
    We appreciate the thought.
[21:27] Kuro
    Man, you're a real piece of work.
[21:30] Rin
    In the end, we still don't know
    what the perp was after.
[21:34] Funa
    If we only had more freedom,
[21:36] Funa
    we could snoop around more...
[21:39] Funa
    But doing any more would move into politics.
[21:43] PM
    So we managed to safeguard it?
[21:45] Min3
    Yes, Orochi's "ro" is safe.
[21:47] Min1
    There was no suspicious movement,
[21:49] Min1
    so it must've been a coincidence.
[21:53] Mutos
    "To be human
[21:55] Mutos
    is to have the freedom to control one's fate."
[22:00] Mutos
    Who said those words?
[22:02] Bird
    Marcus Aurelius Antonius?
[22:05] Mutos
    Yes, that is correct, Bird.
[22:07] Bird
    Congratulations, Mythos.
[22:09] Bird
    Thanks to the government's bumbling,
    we now know where "O" and "chi" are, as well.
[22:13] Mutos
    I must say,
[22:15] Mutos
    you are my best partner.
[22:18] Mutos
    Thank you.
