[00:45] ---
    An unknown frontier
[00:48] ---
    On the map painted by my heart
[00:52] ---
    When I open the door, the path goes on
[00:59] ---
    I'm kicking up dust as I
    start running to your town

[01:05] ---
    Along a route where earth and sky meet
[01:11] ---
    Riding the rushing southern wind
[01:15] ---
    Slicing through the wind
    dyed blue by the sky

[01:18] ---
    I'm rushing out with my whole heart
[01:25] ---
    Shooting past the midday moon
[01:29] ---
    Towards a world different
    from what we've known before

[01:32] ---
    I will keep on running through to the end
[01:36] ---
    However far
[01:37] ---
    Just like that wind
[01:42] ---
    Just like that wind
[02:05] ---
    Balance.
[02:07] ---
    We will be arriving at the base shortly.
[02:10] ---
    What's important is balance.
    For both people and countries.
[02:13] ---
    Sir?
[02:14] ---
    Leaning too far to one side is a no-no!
[02:17] ---
    A big no-no!
[02:18] ---
    If you lose your balance...
[02:22] ---
    ...something like that happens.
[02:24] ---
    The most important thing is
    to maintain balance on both sides.
[02:27] ---
    For the sake of our business, as well.
[02:30] ---
    Are you talking about
    North and South China, sir?
[02:32] ---
    Now then, it's almost time
    for our little meeting with Yollan.
[02:36] ---
    Yollan?
[02:37] ---
    You don't know? How lame.
[02:39] ---
    I'm talkin' about Yu Lan!
[02:41] ---
    What do you intend to do with
    the corpse after you've retrieved it?
[02:45] ---
    The body of a pretty young girl, huh?
[02:47] ---
    I'm sure there are plenty
    of ways it can be put to use.
[02:51] ---
    "His Problem"
[03:10] ---
    "Hey, you want somethin'?"
[03:14] ---
    You're not a local, are you?
[03:16] ---
    Are you Korean? Japanese?
[03:20] ---
    I don't have a homeland.
[03:22] ---
    Huh?
[03:26] ---
    Well if you don't have any business here,
    get lost. I'm busy right now.
[03:32] ---
    Are you evacuating?
[03:33] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[03:37] ---
    "Hurry up, Dear!"
[03:38] ---
    "Shut up!"
[03:43] ---
    I'll have this.
[03:44] ---
    I'm in the middle of something.
[03:45] ---
    "Ready yet?"
[03:46] ---
    "I'll be right there!"
[03:47] ---
    Please let me buy this, sir.
[03:49] ---
    Who cares about that?
    Just go ahead and take it!
[03:52] ---
    You should get the hell out of here, too,
    unless you wanna die!
[04:03] ---
    Die?
[04:06] ---
    That might be a good idea.
[04:07] ---
    "Hunter Cleaning Co., Ltd."
[04:22] ---
    Uruz 9 to All.
[04:24] ---
    We are now going to investigate Point 28.
[04:26] ---
    If you do not receive any contact
    from us within 15 minutes,
[04:28] ---
    tighten the search perimeter.
[04:30] ---
    Uruz 2, roger.
[04:32] ---
    Wangfu HQ, roger. Be careful out there.
[04:37] ---
    What's wrong, Corporal Yang?
[04:39] ---
    Nothing. It's just I haven't heard any
    response from Sergeant Sagara in a while.
[04:43] ---
    Do you think there might be trouble?
[04:44] ---
    Did you hear something
    from the sergeant major?
[04:45] ---
    No, nothing.
[04:47] ---
    Well, we've got our own work
    to worry about. Let's go, Woo.
[04:50] ---
    Yes, sir.
[05:07] ---
    Nothing here.
[05:08] ---
    That leaves twelve more points.
[05:26] ---
    Must've been a worker here, huh?
[05:28] ---
    Probably. Looks like
    he's been dead maybe two days.
[05:32] ---
    This must've been their hideout, huh?
[05:34] ---
    We don't know that for sure.
[05:35] ---
    Well, even if it was, I don't think
    they'll be coming back here again.
[05:40] ---
    In any case, look at the guy's chest.
[05:48] ---
    "To the son of Bdakshon's Tiger.
    Meet Hamidra at Tsim Sha Tsui."
[05:53] ---
    Do you know what that means, Corporal?
[05:55] ---
    I don't have a clue.
[05:57] ---
    "Tactical Division Headquarters,
    Command Center"
[05:58] ---
    "Tactical Division Headquarters,
    Command Center"
[05:58] ---
    Are you still unable to report to us
[06:00] ---
    "Tactical Division Headquarters,
    Command Center"
[06:00] ---
    that the Venom has been spotted, Teletha?
[06:02] ---
    Currently, approximately 60% of
    the search points have been eliminated.
[06:07] ---
    Please wait just a little longer,
    Admiral Voda.
[06:10] ---
    More importantly,
[06:11] ---
    how is the plan to stall
    the heads of both governments going?
[06:14] ---
    We're already stalling them quite a bit.
[06:16] ---
    But once people suspect each other,
[06:17] ---
    they don't let go of
    those suspicions very easily.
[06:20] ---
    Not to mention, that applies
    even more in a situation like this,
[06:23] ---
    where they've already been holding
    a grudge against each other for years.
[06:26] ---
    Naturally, we will continue
    to try to negotiate with them.
[06:28] ---
    But don't expect much.
[06:29] ---
    We have only about
    three hours left at best.
[06:32] ---
    Three hours?
[06:33] ---
    I hope to hear some good news
    from you before then.
[06:37] ---
    That is all.
[06:40] ---
    Captain, Uruz 2 is on line G1.
[06:43] ---
    --Put her through.
    --Yes, ma'am.
[06:46] ---
    Uruz 2 to TDD HQ.
[06:48] ---
    I have received a report
    from Corporal Yang that he discovered
[06:51] ---
    a suspicious corpse and a message.
[06:53] ---
    Go on.
[06:54] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[06:55] ---
    The body of a middle-aged man who had
    been shot to death, as well as a message,
[06:58] ---
    were discovered at Search Point 28.
[07:01] ---
    The message states:
[07:02] ---
    "To the son of Bdakshon's Tiger.
    Meet Hamidra at Tsim Sha Tsui."
[07:08] ---
    Furthermore, according to Intelligence,
[07:09] ---
    there have been two other
    reports of the same message,
[07:13] ---
    and three reports that it is printed in the
    classified ad section of local newspapers.
[07:18] ---
    Anything else?
[07:19] ---
    No, ma'am.
[07:20] ---
    I see. Continue with the mission.
[07:22] ---
    Roger. End of communication.
[07:25] ---
    I wonder what it could possibly mean...
[07:28] ---
    Speaking of Bdakshon,
[07:29] ---
    Lieutenant Commander Kalinin has
    a strong connection to that area.
[07:33] ---
    Call the lieutenant commander.
[07:34] ---
    And then run a cryptanalysis
    on the message.
[07:37] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[07:38] ---
    I wonder what it means.
[07:40] ---
    I don't think it's meant
    as a disruption or diversion.
[07:46] ---
    Do you know anything about it?
[07:48] ---
    "Bdakshon's Tiger"
    is the nickname of Majid,
[07:51] ---
    a legendary guerilla
    commander in Helmajistan.
[07:55] ---
    Helmajistan?
[07:56] ---
    I've fought him numerous times.
[07:59] ---
    The Soviet Union sent numerous assassins
    to his land in order to eliminate him,
[08:04] ---
    but they all failed.
[08:07] ---
    One of those assassins was even
    a child less than eight years old.
[08:11] ---
    A child?
[08:13] ---
    Majid was known for his compassion.
[08:15] ---
    When that child was captured,
    he took the child in as his own,
[08:18] ---
    and gave him a new name.
[08:21] ---
    That name was...
[08:22] ---
    Kashim.
[08:24] ---
    Kashim...
[08:24] ---
    Kashim, Kashim!
[08:26] ---
    You sounded too friendly calling me that!
[08:28] ---
    You son of a bitch!
[08:30] ---
    Mr. Sagara...
[08:31] ---
    Captain, we need to
    inform Sergeant Sagara.
[08:34] ---
    Yes.
[08:34] ---
    Please connect me to Uruz 2.
[08:36] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[08:37] ---
    Go ahead.
[08:38] ---
    TDD HQ to Uruz 2.
    Please put Uruz 7 on the line.
[08:44] ---
    This is Uruz 2. Umm...
[08:48] ---
    What's the matter?
[08:49] ---
    I'm sorry, Uruz 7... isn't here.
[09:18] ---
    "Come on, have some fun
    with me for a little while!"
[09:21] ---
    "You think I have time for that?
    Just hurry up and evacuate."
[09:23] ---
    "Aww, don't be such a drag!"
[09:25] ---
    "Are you an idiot?
    If you stay here, you'll die."
[09:26] ---
    "Hey, it's time. Let's go."
[09:28] ---
    "See ya! Go to hell, you stinkin' bitch!"
[09:32] ---
    "What did you say!?"
[09:33] ---
    "Right back at you!
    Die, you frickin' bastards!"
[09:36] ---
    "Hmph!"
[09:40] ---
    "Oh!"
[09:41] ---
    "Hey, what are you doing?"
[09:45] ---
    "Ooh! Yeah, can't make it through
    without some booze, right?"
[09:49] ---
    "Hmm?"
[09:50] ---
    "Huh?"
[09:51] ---
    "You don't understand what I'm saying?"
[09:53] ---
    Are you a foreigner?
[09:55] ---
    Affirmative.
[09:58] ---
    That's a strange way of answering.
[09:59] ---
    Well, whatever.
[10:01] ---
    Hey, do you have money?
[10:04] ---
    A little.
[10:06] ---
    Then, how about it?
    Are you free right now?
[10:09] ---
    Yes.
[10:10] ---
    Then would you like to
    have a little fun with me?
[10:42] ---
    Well, how about it?!
[10:46] ---
    Right.
[10:48] ---
    Okay, let's go.
[10:51] ---
    What's with you?
[10:52] ---
    You want to do it after all,
    don't you, you letch!
[10:57] ---
    The room's close by.
[11:09] ---
    Sousuke abandoned the mission?
[11:11] ---
    Are you serious, Speck?
[11:13] ---
    Yeah. I heard he got into a traffic accident,
    then just wandered off somewhere.
[11:18] ---
    Hmm...
[11:20] ---
    Him, wandering off?
[11:22] ---
    Have you heard anything, First Lieutenant?
[11:24] ---
    Well, enough to get the general picture.
[11:26] ---
    But that's not enough to judge by.
[11:28] ---
    Lieutenant Commander Kalinin
    thinks the same way.
[11:31] ---
    In any case,
[11:33] ---
    we can't plan on having Sagara
    and the Arbalest as part of our forces.
[11:36] ---
    No matter how good a mercenary he is,
    he's still just seventeen.
[11:41] ---
    He's just a kid after all.
[11:43] ---
    That's got nothing to do with it!
[11:45] ---
    I still can't believe it.
[11:47] ---
    At the least, Sagara was never the kind
    of guy who would do something like this.
[11:50] ---
    That's what I think.
[11:52] ---
    It's her... Yeah, Kaname Chidori.
[11:56] ---
    Hasn't he seemed like
    a really different person
[11:58] ---
    ever since he started
    his mission to guard her?
[12:01] ---
    Well, now that you mention it,
    I think you're right...
[12:04] ---
    What do you think, Roger?
[12:06] ---
    I don't know what Sagara's really like.
[12:09] ---
    But I do know that a person's true nature
    doesn't change that easily.
[12:14] ---
    A hawk is a hawk right
    until the day it dies.
[12:17] ---
    A hawk stays a hawk, huh?
[12:27] ---
    Hey, do you want yours with water?
    Or on the rocks?
[12:30] ---
    Whatever you think's better.
[12:30] ---
    Oh, okay. On the rocks, then.
[12:43] ---
    You know, you're a lot
    like this guy I know.
[12:50] ---
    A guy I was going out with
    until just a little while ago.
[12:59] ---
    He was such a drag.
[13:02] ---
    He acted like such a big shot
    in front of me,
[13:04] ---
    but around other people,
    he'd be totally hopeless.
[13:07] ---
    He'd be so spineless.
[13:08] ---
    It pissed me off just watching him.
[13:11] ---
    And well, he looked
    a little bit like you.
[13:15] ---
    He didn't scowl so much though.
[13:18] ---
    Hey, smile for me a little bit.
[13:21] ---
    I'm sure you'd look a lot better than
    you do with that glum look on your face.
[13:29] ---
    I don't know how to smile.
    All I know is how to fight.
[13:39] ---
    You gotta be kidding me!
    What would a cleaning man fight?
[13:51] ---
    That was too much!
[13:54] ---
    And the way you said it with a straight face
    just made it that much more hilarious!
[13:58] ---
    Is that so?
[13:59] ---
    What? Did I hurt your feelings a little?
[14:02] ---
    By any chance, were you actually serious?
[14:04] ---
    It was a joke.
[14:22] ---
    So, fighting cleaning man,
[14:24] ---
    what were you doing in a place like that?
[14:27] ---
    Working.
[14:28] ---
    Alone?
[14:30] ---
    No. I had comrades with me.
[14:33] ---
    What are they doing now?
[14:36] ---
    Probably still working.
[14:39] ---
    So you skipped out on them, huh?
[14:42] ---
    Affirmative.
[14:46] ---
    Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
[14:48] ---
    When it comes to bad stuff and tough stuff,
[14:49] ---
    it's best to just run away
    as fast as you can.
[14:52] ---
    Is that right?
[14:53] ---
    That's right.
[14:58] ---
    In this world,
[15:00] ---
    it's the ones who take life seriously
    who end up looking the fools.
[15:05] ---
    As long as you're with me,
[15:08] ---
    I can bear anything.
[15:11] ---
    If there's someone else
    who'll do your work even if you skip out,
[15:14] ---
    why not just shove it on him?
[15:17] ---
    I'm not a burden!
[15:21] ---
    Or, what, do you regret
    skipping out on them?
[15:25] ---
    I don't really know.
[15:27] ---
    Either way, I can no longer
    return to my comrades.
[15:31] ---
    All you did was run out on work.
    You're making too big a deal of it.
[15:34] ---
    Just apologize to them later
    and it'll be fine.
[15:37] ---
    No, I can't.
[15:39] ---
    I've already lost everyone's trust.
[15:40] ---
    What's so bad about that?
[15:42] ---
    They might say they're your comrades,
[15:44] ---
    but you never know when
    they'll stab you in the back.
[15:46] ---
    There's no point in putting
    your trust in people so easily.
[15:51] ---
    Even if I can't trust anyone else,
    I do trust you.
[15:55] ---
    Well, when it comes
    to human relationships,
[15:58] ---
    you should just lean on others
    as much as you can,
[16:00] ---
    and get as much as you can out of them.
[16:02] ---
    And, once the relationship's not
    useful anymore, just toss it.
[16:05] ---
    That's what it's all about.
[16:11] ---
    Hey, you haven't touched
    your drink one bit.
[16:17] ---
    I've never had alcohol before.
[16:19] ---
    Really?
[16:22] ---
    I thought it would distract me.
[16:25] ---
    Well, whatever.
[16:27] ---
    Then let's save the drinking
    for later and do it, okay?
[16:30] ---
    Forget all the bad stuff.
[16:33] ---
    And when you start remembering again,
[16:35] ---
    we'll do it again, and have some drinks.
[16:45] ---
    --I'll give you a good time.
    --Sousuke!
[16:48] ---
    --I'll make you feel good.
    --Sousuke!
[16:50] ---
    --This isn't your first time, is it?
    --Sousuke.
[16:53] ---
    --I'll be gentle with you.
    --Sousuke.
[16:56] ---
    --Hey... Hey...
    --Sousuke! Sousuke!
[17:04] ---
    What was that for?
[17:05] ---
    I changed my mind.
[17:07] ---
    Huh?
[17:07] ---
    I'm not doing it.
[17:12] ---
    What's with you? You drag!
[17:15] ---
    You've been a big help.
[17:18] ---
    Hold it right there.
[17:21] ---
    You forgot something!
[17:24] ---
    Now get out of my sight,
    you piece of trash.
[17:44] ---
    It's time.
[17:46] ---
    Are you ready, Teletha? Launch all M9s.
[17:50] ---
    Wherever the Venom shows up next,
[17:52] ---
    swoop in with all you've got
    and take it down.
[17:54] ---
    However, you are forbidden
    to use the Arbalest.
[17:57] ---
    We do not want to expose
    that machine to any danger.
[18:00] ---
    Wait a moment, Admiral.
[18:02] ---
    My subordinates have not yet finalized
    their countermeasures against the Venom.
[18:04] ---
    If I deploy them now,
[18:06] ---
    I have no idea what kind
    of casualties there will be.
[18:08] ---
    Please give me at least two more hours...
[18:10] ---
    No. Lord Mallory agrees as well.
[18:13] ---
    But...
[18:14] ---
    Tensions in both the Northern and
    Southern Armies are at the breaking point.
[18:17] ---
    Not only that,
    every time the Venom appears,
[18:18] ---
    it causes large numbers
    of dead and wounded.
[18:21] ---
    We cannot permit any more casualties.
[18:24] ---
    How many more people are you going
    to allow to die while you wait?
[18:28] ---
    Well, I...
[18:29] ---
    I've heard that the Venom's weakness
    is its short maximum operation time.
[18:33] ---
    We will have to strike
    using that to our advantage.
[18:35] ---
    Have faith in your subordinates.
[18:38] ---
    This is what they have been
    made into a top elite troop for.
[18:42] ---
    Is this hard for you, Teletha?
[18:44] ---
    But I told you. This is what
    the path you are on is like.
[18:48] ---
    Yet you chose not to step off of it.
    Am I wrong?
[18:53] ---
    It is just as you say.
[18:55] ---
    Then execute your mission quickly,
    Captain Testarossa.
[19:00] ---
    Understood.
[19:08] ---
    Rise to periscope depth.
[19:11] ---
    Flood the underwater launch hatches.
[19:13] ---
    Aye, ma'am.
[19:14] ---
    Forward one third. Uptrim five degrees.
    Rise to periscope depth.
[19:23] ---
    The search has been called off?
[19:26] ---
    Correct.
[19:27] ---
    Return to the helicopter immediately,
    and board your M9.
[19:29] ---
    Rendezvous with Clouseau and his team
    at point Echo at 0430 hours.
[19:34] ---
    You will receive your next orders there.

    Uruz 2, roger.

    That is all. End of communication.
[20:01] ---
    Begin flooding underwater launch hatches.
[20:04] ---
    Begin flooding underwater
    launch hatches. Aye.
[20:11] ---
    In other words, we are out of time?
[20:13] ---
    Right. Leave the rest up
    to the Tactical Division.
[20:17] ---
    Understood.
[20:18] ---
    Well then, goodbye.
[20:25] ---
    Dammit!
[20:29] ---
    We have reached periscope depth.
    Trim is level.
[20:31] ---
    Stop engines.
[20:32] ---
    Stop engines, aye.
[20:34] ---
    Hatch flooding complete.
[20:35] ---
    Open the hatches.
[20:36] ---
    Open hatches, aye.
[20:45] ---
    Launch preparations complete, Captain.
[20:58] ---
    Launch all units.
[21:00] ---
    Aye, ma'am. Launch all units.
[21:02] ---

[21:44] ---
    How can people actually drink this?
[22:03] ---
    "To the son of Bdakshon's Tiger.
    Meet Hamidra at Tsim Sha Tsui."
[22:27] ---
    I'm sure you're still looking
[22:29] ---
    Straight ahead to tomorrow
[22:33] ---
    Just like you always have
[22:39] ---
    Just like the sunflowers
[22:44] ---
    That bloomed on that windy hill
[22:53] ---
    No matter how far apart we are
[22:59] ---
    I pray that my singing will reach you
[23:05] ---
    On nights when the tears never seem to stop
[23:11] ---
    I want to be the moon
[23:14] ---
    That shines through your window
[23:17] ---
    Because I believe we will meet again
[23:28] ---
    No matter what
[23:45] ---
    "Next Episode"
[23:46] ---
    Time is almost up.
[23:48] ---
    A voice from the underworld echoes
    in the heart of the deserted city.

[23:51] ---
    A flawless obituary prepared
    by a mastermind behind the scenes.

[23:54] ---
    Who is calling me?
[23:56] ---
    Next time: "Burning Hong Kong."
[23:58] ---
    A dead man laughs at me
    from the darkness,

[24:00] ---
    beckoning me to my desolate past.
