[00:13] ---
    We may be in NAC territory,
    but we're guests here.
[00:17] ---
    They aren't going to harm us.
[00:19] ---
    We've been expecting you.
[00:21] ---
    Thank you for the warm welcome.
[00:23] ---
    That's him, the man who
    requested your presence here.
[00:31] ---
    You must be tired, so I apologize,
[00:33] ---
    but we'll be taking you straight to
    the conference center.
[00:36] ---
    Follow me, please.
[00:46] ---
    I'm reporting live from
    the guest house entrance.
[00:49] ---
    Today, the future of the world
    will be determined here,
SIGN    "Streaming live from the guest house entrance" "Peacemaking conference with the NAC to liberate Japan begins"
[00:52] ---
    as the NJCO, New Japan
    Cooperation Organization, and NAC
[00:54] ---
    begin their preliminary meeting.
[01:01] ---
    There's Congressman Roy Walker!
SIGN    "Streaming live from the guest house entrance" "Peacemaking conference with the NAC to liberate Japan begins"
[01:04] ---
    Chosen as a mediator for this meeting,
[01:08] ---
    his actions could drastically
    impact the future of Japan.
[01:15] ---
    Lieutenant Colonel!
[01:16] ---
    I'm fine. What about you?
[01:18] ---
    I-I'm okay, too.
[01:20] ---
    Call the ambulance!
[01:21] ---
    And the police!
[01:23] ---
    Congressman Walker's been shot!
[01:43] ---
    "AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
[03:08] ---
    They're just protecting us.
[03:12] ---
    Of course, if the situation changes,
    they'll quickly point their guns at us.
[03:17] ---
    Who'd plan an assassination...?
[03:19] ---
    Who knows? I'm sure the NAC is
    frantically trying to find the sniper.
[03:25] ---
    Amou, I updated Udou and the others
    on our situation.
[03:29] ---
    Thanks.
[03:31] ---
    Excuse me.
[03:39] ---
    Amou and Alexei are safe.
[03:41] ---
    But, as material witnesses
    and for their protection,
[03:44] ---
    they're under house arrest at a hotel.
[03:47] ---
    Amou...
[03:49] ---
    Now's no longer the time
    to be holding a meeting.
[03:52] ---
    We need to get them back
    as soon as possible.
[03:55] ---
    I doubt they'd let them go that easily.
[03:58] ---
    Who was the sniper?!
[04:00] ---
    The NAC is currently investigating.
[04:03] ---
    It could be the IEU,
    or infighting within the NAC.
[04:08] ---
    Resistance organizations in Tokyo
    are another possibility.
[04:12] ---
    It was a sniper attack
    in the NAC territory
[04:14] ---
    that started the Boundary War, too.
[04:17] ---
    To this day, it's unclear
    which army was responsible.
[04:22] ---
    Regardless, we need to do
    everything we can,
[04:26] ---
    just in case.
[04:34] ---
    So that's the gist of it.
[04:36] ---
    We don't know how
    the situation will play out.
[04:38] ---
    Finish installing Jogan's
    new equipment ASAP.
[04:41] ---
    Understood.
[04:49] ---
    You were at the hot springs...
[04:51] ---
    You remember me.
[04:56] ---
    Currently, Ghost is hiding
    in the Oki Islands.
[04:59] ---
    German Gobert arranged everything.
[05:01] ---
    He weaseled himself into
    the North American military,
[05:03] ---
    the largest in the world,
    by offering up Ghost.
[05:04] ---
    Camouflaging them as accidents,
[05:06] ---
    he then attacked Brenson Corp
    and the TRYVECTA facilities.
[05:08] ---
    According to online rumors,
    the North American military is behind it.
[05:18] ---
    Calm down.
[05:29] ---
    I'm Captain Brad Watt from
    the North American military.
[05:33] ---
    Why would a soldier conduct an interview?
[05:35] ---
    Someone else will be here to do that.
[05:38] ---
    I've been given special permission
    to speak to you two.
[05:43] ---
    We've done nothing wrong.
    There's nothing to say.
[05:47] ---
    You can exercise your right to
    remain silent during the interview.
[05:50] ---
    You guys were awfully quick to take us
    into custody after Roy Walker's shooting.
[05:54] ---
    You're either very good, or you knew
    something was going to happen.
[06:01] ---
    I wonder...
[06:03] ---
    Our security level was raised
    in order to handle any contingencies.
[06:09] ---
    Who was the shooter?
[06:11] ---
    It's under investigation.
[06:13] ---
    Why are we under house arrest?
[06:15] ---
    You're not. This is
    for your own protection.
[06:18] ---
    You're free to do as you please
    in this room, even use your cell phones.
[06:24] ---
    Unfortunately, we do have some
    communication restrictions in place.
[06:28] ---
    He's right.
[06:30] ---
    Physically, I'm still in Hokuriku.
[06:32] ---
    All I can do is communicate with you,
    so watch your back.
[06:36] ---
    We'll cooperate for a peaceful resolution,
[06:40] ---
    but we don't know anything.
[06:42] ---
    Which is why you two could be targeted.
[06:47] ---
    Hence the protective custody.
[06:52] ---
    Captain.
[06:53] ---
    Looks like my time's up.
    I'll see you later.
[07:03] ---
    Yesterday, Congressman Walker
    was shot by a sniper.
[07:08] ---
    Fortunately, he survived the attack.
[07:11] ---
    To bring peace to Japan, he continued
    his efforts to end the war quickly.
[07:17] ---
    He accepted the position as a mediator,
    taking the NJCO very seriously.
[07:24] ---
    However, his hopes were all but crushed
    by an act of cowardice.
[07:29] ---
    We cannot imagine
    the depth of his disappointment,
[07:32] ---
    but the meeting with
    the NJCO will be canceled.
[07:39] ---
    That's all. Any questions?
[07:45] ---
    Do you have a lead on the sniper?
[07:47] ---
    The investigation is underway,
    with all hands on deck.
[07:51] ---
    Will the meeting be rescheduled?
[07:54] ---
    We're not at that point yet.
    Apprehending the shooter takes priority.
[08:00] ---
    Last question.
[08:02] ---
    Our sources state that
    the three blocs' Special Forces
[08:06] ---
    have infiltrated Tokyo.
[08:10] ---
    I can't disclose our source,
    but surely the NAC knows about this?
[08:16] ---
    Well played. Even with baseless rumors,
    conversations can be steered.
[08:22] ---
    That's how you manipulate public opinion.
[08:26] ---
    Our investigations are
    related to sensitive information,
[08:28] ---
    so we cannot answer.
[08:30] ---
    So you do know about it?
[08:33] ---
    Wouldn't that mean the NJCO's
    behind this shooting incident?
[08:40] ---
    No comment.
[08:42] ---
    However, seeing that we're at war
    with them, that's entirely possible.
[08:51] ---
    We don't know who the shooter is,
[08:53] ---
    but this is an assault and
    a violation of world peace.
[08:59] ---
    We're prepared to retaliate
    against this atrocity.
[09:03] ---
    For all intents and purposes,
    we've got the declaration of war.
[09:10] ---
    I'm glad you're all right.
[09:12] ---
    Perfect, an unwelcome visitor.
[09:15] ---
    I heard you were wearing
    a bulletproof vest.
[09:17] ---
    Thanks to the special police's advice.
[09:20] ---
    You were lucky.
[09:24] ---
    Is this all part of your plan?
[09:28] ---
    You're well protected in this
    military hospital. No need to worry.
[09:41] ---
    A-All right, I did my part!
    Where's my money?
[09:46] ---
    I just paid. Please confirm the transfer.
[09:50] ---
    Ah... Let me know if you need me again!
[09:56] ---
    Now to make arrangements
    to take care of him...
[10:01] ---
    You can start a war
    with just a few people...
[10:05] ---
    ...and a little seed money.
[10:17] ---
    Are you worried about the captain?
[10:21] ---
    You're right, he hasn't been
    acting like himself lately.
[10:25] ---
    He's always been a daredevil,
    but he was more jovial.
[10:31] ---
    Can I trust you, Warrant Officer Hardy?
[10:36] ---
    If Captain Watt is
    walking a dangerous path,
[10:41] ---
    will you be able to stop him?
[10:44] ---
    Of course.
[10:52] ---
    Do you know this man?
[10:55] ---
    Pike Davis, 32 years old.
[10:57] ---
    Ex-soldier, former candidate
    for a world shooting championship.
[11:01] ---
    Two years ago, he shot and killed
    two fellow soldiers.
[11:05] ---
    He was never caught, and he even
    briefly worked with the mafia.
[11:10] ---
    What about him?
[11:12] ---
    The other day, I saw the captain
    make contact with this man.
[11:17] ---
    Maybe the captain ordered him
    to shoot Roy Walker...!
[11:22] ---
    Impossible. He'd never do that.
[11:25] ---
    I wish I could believe that, but...
[11:31] ---
    If you're going to
    look into this, I'll help.
[11:36] ---
    Just don't do anything rash on your own.
[11:39] ---
    Yes, sir.
[11:55] ---
    We heard back from
    Temporary Captain Guang.
[11:59] ---
    The North American military's started
    their advance on the Asian borders.
[12:04] ---
    There have been
    minor conflicts in the past,
[12:06] ---
    but it seems they've rescinded
    the temporary arbitration they had.
[12:10] ---
    The fact that they're advancing now
    could be an act of retaliation.
[12:15] ---
    "AFTE territory" "NAC territory"
[12:15] ---
    If they breach the border
    and continue their advancement,
[12:19] ---
    the NAC will control the west side
    of the main island.
[12:22] ---
    In other words, the AFTE's only territory
    will be the northern area of Kyushu.
[12:26] ---
    If the AFTE decides that Japan
    isn't worth controlling...
[12:32] ---
    They could potentially
    withdraw from Japan.
[12:35] ---
    If that happens,
    the NJCO will cease to exist,
[12:38] ---
    making it more difficult to realize
    our vision of New Japan.
[12:43] ---
    Kumai.
[12:44] ---
    Sir.
[12:47] ---
    The AFTE's sending reinforcements
    from all over, but it'll take time.
[12:52] ---
    You guys are closer to the border.
[12:54] ---
    Get there immediately and help them out!
[12:56] ---
    Roger that.
[12:58] ---
    Just in time, huh?
[13:00] ---
    Yeah.
[13:31] ---
    Dammit, quit dancing around!
[13:33] ---
    Your attacks are too predictable!
[13:45] ---
    This is bad. They'll breach
    the front line at this rate.
[13:50] ---
    To the west of the front line is a lake.
[13:52] ---
    Our communication
    base station is on an island there.
[13:56] ---
    If they destroy that base station...
[13:58] ---
    Kei, gather intel on the area.
[14:01] ---
    You got it!
[14:04] ---
    First and second platoons are destroyed!
[14:07] ---
    The enemy forces are still advancing!
[14:10] ---
    Dammit! We can't hold them off.
    The front line's gonna collapse!
[14:15] ---
    All units, fall back to
    the secondary defense line!
[14:24] ---
    Good, we're almost there!
[14:28] ---
    Now! Fall back!
[14:40] ---
    You can't get to us now!
[14:45] ---
    What?!
[14:51] ---
    Your sniper missed.
[14:54] ---
    He's only human, he's bound to
    make mistakes from time to time.
[14:58] ---
    Have you taken care of him?
[15:01] ---
    Don't worry, we'll take care of him,
    along with that journalist.
[15:07] ---
    Never betray my trust again.
[15:11] ---
    Of course not.
[15:15] ---
    I-I did everything like y-you told me to!
[15:19] ---
    Give me my passport!
[15:23] ---
    Good, this won't leave a trail.
[15:35] ---
    They've got amazing mobility...!
[15:37] ---
    Major Kaku, have you
    received orders from HQ?
[15:41] ---
    Yes, we're ready for it.
[15:43] ---
    All right. Here's the proposed strategy.
[15:47] ---
    While the unmanned units
    are drawing enemy fire,
[15:49] ---
    you're to retreat back to
    the communication base station.
[15:51] ---
    Roger that. I'm partially
    transferring my command!
[15:55] ---
    Transfer of command confirmed.
    Executing the mission!
[16:12] ---
    What...? Their movements
    are completely different!
[16:27] ---
    Apologies for the wait!
[16:28] ---
    Thanks for coming.
    Deploy to the left flank.
[16:32] ---
    Roger that! They've got the rest...
[16:40] ---
    Three hundred meters remaining!
[16:45] ---
    Two hundred!
[16:49] ---
    One hundred!
[16:53] ---
    I'm gonna destroy the base station
    and everything with it!
[16:57] ---
    Zero!
[17:13] ---
    Targets acquired! We're locked on
    to all enemy units!
[17:16] ---
    Engage!
[17:25] ---
    What?!
[17:47] ---
    Its power and range are unparalleled!
[17:51] ---
    Even though we've lost some mobility...
[17:53] ---
    ...no ammo or laser
    can penetrate this shield!
[18:07] ---
    Such firepower...
[18:16] ---
    We've destroyed half of the enemy force.
[18:19] ---
    That's plenty. Let's move on
    to search and destroy!
[18:30] ---
    Let's go!
[18:47] ---
    What is that thing...?
    It isn't just a long-range sniper?!
[19:04] ---
    All right! Follow the
    original AMAIM's lead!
[19:36] ---
    The North American military has retreated.
[19:39] ---
    We owe our victory to you all.
[19:43] ---
    Thank you for helping.
[19:44] ---
    We were able to do a lot more
    damage than anticipated.
[19:48] ---
    Hopefully, they'll stay quiet for a while.
[19:58] ---
    Damn terrorists...!
[20:05] ---
    How rude of you to not knock.
[20:07] ---
    I apologize, but there's been
    a change in our situation.
[20:12] ---
    There was a battle on the Asian border
    on the west side of the main island.
[20:17] ---
    The original AMAIM sniper's arrival
    resulted in our catastrophic defeat.
[20:23] ---
    You two will never be
    released from here now.
[20:28] ---
    Why not?!
[20:29] ---
    We've put a blot on the all-mighty
    North American military's record.
[20:34] ---
    It shows that the NJCO's force
[20:36] ---
    is more than capable
    of taking on the NAC.
[20:41] ---
    No longer over-optimistic,
    perhaps we're hostages against the NJCO.
[20:47] ---
    Maybe even to use us as scapegoats
    for the shooting incident?
[20:50] ---
    You're free to speculate.
[20:54] ---
    What's this?
[20:56] ---
    It's a fake security card for the hotel.
[20:59] ---
    Isn't this a terrorist's go-to trick?
[21:02] ---
    Unfortunately, it's only good for an hour.
[21:05] ---
    You want us to escape?
[21:08] ---
    I gave the same cards
    to your assistants as well.
[21:12] ---
    I don't know what your end game is,
    but I won't be played with.
[21:16] ---
    Just so you know,
    the AI we have is quite smart.
[21:20] ---
    It can delete any evidence
    that could work against us.
[21:24] ---
    Like the fact that I'm here.
[21:27] ---
    Whether you escape or not is up to you.
    Now, if you'll excuse me.
[21:37] ---
    If it's only good for an hour,
[21:39] ---
    we'll likely be detained
    if we wait around.
[21:44] ---
    I'm going. I don't plan on being
    imprisoned for a crime I didn't commit.
[21:49] ---
    I can clear my name later.
[21:52] ---
    Exactly! As long as you're alive,
    you can do anything!
[21:57] ---
    Are you ready to do the same?
[22:02] ---
    Yes!
[22:10] ---
    I see... So they've escaped. Understood.

[23:52] ---
    Jeez, we're in deep trouble now.
[23:55] ---
    We're back to being fugitives again...
[23:56] ---
    --"Again"?
    --U-Uh, never mind!
[23:59] ---
    The North American military
    are hunting you down.
[24:01] ---
    We're sending reinforcements, but...
[24:04] ---
    They won't let us escape that easily.
