    To repeat:
[02:06] ---
    In a press conference just held, the
    Beijing government has announced
[02:09] ---
    that if there are no signs
    of a resolution by 6:00,
[02:12] ---
    the situation will inevitably
    develop into a serious crisis.
[02:17] ---
    In response, Secretary-General
    Chang of South China,
[02:20] ---
    also known as the Democratic
    Federation of China,
[02:22] ---
    questioned if there was some connection
[02:23] ---
    to the terrorist acts committed
    by the unidentified AS...
[02:26] ---
    Listen up.
[02:27] ---
    "Burning Hong Kong"
[02:27] ---
    We have until 6:00 AM, which
    means we have 90 minutes left.
[02:31] ---
    lf we fail, that's it.
[02:33] ---
    Hong Kong will become a sea of flames.
[02:36] ---
    And I doubt it will stop there.
[02:41] ---
    You kept her face pretty?
[02:44] ---
    Apparently you're soft on women.
[02:46] ---
    Haven't you found Yu Fang yet?
[02:49] ---
    All of the preparations
    are complete. Just watch.
[02:58] ---
    Big Sis, this is Yu Lan!
[03:01] ---
    I'm surrounded by all these scary men!
[03:04] ---
    What are you doing?
[03:06] ---
    No! Let me go!
[03:08] ---
    Oh no, I've been caught!
[03:11] ---
    Help me, Big Sis!
[03:14] ---
    Ow! Ow!
[03:15] ---
    I'm gonna die!
[03:16] ---
    No more! Not there!
[03:23] ---
    This is a situation neither the
    North nor the South should want.
[03:28] ---
    Not only that,
[03:29] ---
    there's absolutely no consistency
    to the Venom's destruction.
[03:33] ---
    So it's most likely the work of
    someone operating independently.
[03:35] ---
    But who in the world would make the
    North and South fight each other,
[03:39] ---
    and for what purpose?
[03:46] ---
    President Hunter, you have a guest.
[03:48] ---
    She has been anxious to
    see you. It seems urgent.
[03:51] ---
    Turn her away.
[03:53] ---
    Even you should understand what kind
    of crisis I'm facing right now.
[03:54] ---
    Hey! Get out of my way!
[03:57] ---
    Hey you, you shouldn't be here!
[03:58] ---
    I'm telling you to let me see him!
[04:01] ---
    A Helmajistani?
[04:03] ---
    Nope, don't know anyone like that.
[04:05] ---
    But a lot of Arabs live in
    that building over there.
[04:15] ---
    So you're Kashim, huh?
[04:17] ---
    You reek of alcohol, you worthless brat.
[04:20] ---
    Are you trying to ruin the
    reputation of "Bdakshon's Tiger"?
[04:23] ---
    As if I even care. State your business.
[04:29] ---
    A Chinese girl asked me to give this to you.
[04:32] ---
    Take it and get lost.
[05:06] ---
    Five possible sniping positions.
[05:35] ---
    Sousuke Sagara, correct?
[05:37] ---
    Correct.
[05:38] ---
    There is a taxi waiting at the
    north exit of the park. Get in it.
[05:47] ---
    Who asked you to do this?
[05:49] ---
    Does this have some connection
    to the incidents occurring here?
[06:09] ---
    State your name.
[06:10] ---
    What would you do if I told you?
[06:14] ---
    Sousuke Sagara.
[06:16] ---
    Go to the second floor of
    the building behind you.
[06:20] ---
    He is waiting for you in the back room there.
[06:25] ---
    Who is "he"?
[06:27] ---
    I suggest you try to remember
    what this place is called.
[06:39] ---
    Kowloon?
[07:33] ---
    Yo!
[07:35] ---
    What has it been, three months?
[07:37] ---
    I'm so glad to see you, Kashim.
[07:40] ---
    Ga-Gauron!
[07:43] ---
    You seem so completely shocked.
[07:45] ---
    Is it really that strange
    that I'm still alive?
[07:49] ---
    Back then... You should've...
[07:51] ---
    Died, is that it?
[07:54] ---
    I sure hope you haven't forgotten, now.
[07:56] ---
    My Codarl was equipped with
    a Lambda Driver, you know.
[08:01] ---
    It can even protect the operator
    when the unit self-destructs.
[08:05] ---
    Well, I still ended up like this anyway.
[08:09] ---
    Hey, now. Just look at the
    kind of condition I'm in.
[08:13] ---
    I think it's pointless to be hasty.
[08:17] ---
    What is it you're after?
[08:19] ---
    Come on, now. I just wanted to chat with you.
[08:22] ---
    Stop playing with me!
[08:24] ---
    But I'm serious.
[08:28] ---
    As you can see, my time is running out.
[08:32] ---
    So I had the Codarl go berserk through the
    city, to lure you and that white AS here.
[08:38] ---
    And I scattered messages
    to you all over the city.
[08:43] ---
    Majid was a tactician who
    once made a name for himself
[08:45] ---
    as a guerilla leader in Helmajistan.
[08:48] ---
    His nickname was "Bdakshon's Tiger."
[08:51] ---
    And then there's the assassin
    he gave a name to: Kashim.
[08:54] ---
    In other words, "The son of
    Bdakshon's Tiger" is you.
[08:59] ---
    Hamidra is a former electrician
    and a comrade of yours.
[09:03] ---
    I knew that if I sent out a message
    to "Meet Hamidra at Tsim Sha Tsui,"
[09:06] ---
    you'd track down a Helmajistani electrician.
[09:10] ---
    It was a message that would get through
    to no one else in the world but you.
[09:16] ---
    But I thought you would bring a
    bunch of your friends with you.
[09:20] ---
    Why did you come by yourself?
[09:22] ---
    Did something happen?
[09:24] ---
    That's none of your business!
[09:27] ---
    So you've finally started
    to feel uncomfortable, huh?
[09:31] ---
    What?
[09:32] ---
    In Mithril, I mean.
[09:34] ---
    Being in a military unit that has
    pretensions of being an ally of Justice
[09:37] ---
    is enough to frustrate anybody.
[09:40] ---
    Especially a man like you.
[09:48] ---
    Are you through with your speech?
[09:50] ---
    Then tell me about the
    organization behind you.
[09:55] ---
    I'm amazed.
[09:57] ---
    Your work is still that important to you?
[10:01] ---
    Fine then. I'll tell you.
[10:04] ---
    Amalgam.
[10:06] ---
    That's the name of the
    organization I was working for.
[10:09] ---
    Its goals are the research and
    development of the latest weapons,
[10:13] ---
    and the testing of them in actual combat.
[10:15] ---
    They would even create
    regional conflicts to do so.
[10:18] ---
    A large number of Amalgam sympathizers
[10:20] ---
    have permeated the hard-line
    factions of every nation.
[10:23] ---
    There are a lot of guys in both the East
    and West who want to create a Cold War,
[10:26] ---
    and maintain a demand for munitions.
[10:30] ---
    Is that organization involved
    in the turmoil here, too?
[10:33] ---
    No, this is my own handiwork.
[10:36] ---
    I'll bet those Amalgam guys are going
    crazy trying to find us right about now.
[10:45] ---
    Venom!
[10:46] ---
    Yu Fang?
[10:47] ---
    It is time for me to go.
[10:49] ---
    I see. Take care.
[10:52] ---
    Farewell, Sensei.
[10:59] ---
    A long time ago, I raised a set
    of twins named Yu Fang and Yu Lan.
[11:05] ---
    They were a lot like you.
[11:07] ---
    Even now they're still as loyal as dogs.
[11:10] ---
    The turmoil here happened because
    I ordered them to cause it.
[11:15] ---
    But tonight, Yu Fang is probably
    going to die fighting Mithril.
[11:20] ---
    And if they don't get her, she'll just
    get killed by Amalgam's Task Force.
[11:24] ---
    Task Force?
[11:25] ---
    They're a terrifying bunch.
[11:28] ---
    The commander of that task
    force is incredibly skilled,
[11:30] ---
    but one hell of a nutcase.
[11:32] ---
    Your friends probably don't
    stand a chance against him.
[11:35] ---
    The moment they run into
    him, they'll all be killed.
[11:39] ---
    She's appeared! She's in Jordan!
[11:41] ---
    All right! Time to hunt
    the little kitty down!
[11:46] ---
    You said "Amalgam," right?
[11:48] ---
    Are there any Whispered in that organization?
[11:51] ---
    Yes. He is becoming one of the key members.
[11:55] ---
    If they have a Whispered, then
    why are they targeting Chidori?
[11:58] ---
    They shouldn't need her anymore, right?
[12:00] ---
    Because it's not complete.
[12:03] ---
    Apparently there are
    differences in the knowledge
[12:05] ---
    that each individual Whispered has.
[12:08] ---
    If there's someone who
    has extensive knowledge
[12:10] ---
    of the theory behind
    Lambda Driver technology,
[12:12] ---
    there's also someone who only has
    knowledge of submarine technology.
[12:16] ---
    That's why every time a
    new Whispered is found,
[12:19] ---
    it's necessary to determine which
    field that one is strong in.
[12:24] ---
    That's what those tests that we ran
[12:25] ---
    on that girl in the Khanka
    Autonomous Region were for.
[12:27] ---
    And the results showed that
    Kaname Chidori is a Whispered.
[12:33] ---
    That's all I've heard, though.
[12:36] ---
    Where is Amalgam's base?!
[12:38] ---
    Who are their key figures?
[12:40] ---
    Gimme a break already. I'm
    getting sick of this subject.
[12:44] ---
    It's boring, and it's not
    even the main issue here.
[12:48] ---
    Hey now, does it look like I care if I die?
[12:56] ---
    Tell me. Please.
[12:59] ---
    "Please," huh? Are you really
    the same Kashim I knew?
[13:04] ---
    What?
[13:06] ---
    Remember!
[13:08] ---
    What were you doing when I
    first met you five years ago?
[13:13] ---
    Back then, I was an instructor
    at a mercenary camp.
[13:16] ---
    You were a guerilla fighting
    against the Soviets.
[13:19] ---
    We weren't allies, but we
    weren't really enemies either.
[13:23] ---
    I still remember it very well.
[13:26] ---
    You had a really good look
    in your eyes back then.
[13:30] ---
    Eyes that didn't either
    reject or affirm life.
[13:32] ---
    Eyes without any worries,
    doubts, or suffering.
[13:36] ---
    Yes, eyes like those of a saint.
[13:40] ---
    Anyone would probably
    say they were beautiful.
[13:45] ---
    Do you understand?
[13:46] ---
    In other words, there was
    consistency, no contradiction.
[13:50] ---
    When we met again in Khanka, your eyes
    were still as beautiful as I remembered.
[13:55] ---
    The eyes of someone who
    has no human weakness.
[13:59] ---
    I thought it would've been pretty nice
[14:01] ---
    if I could've killed you
    the way you were then.
[14:05] ---
    But that...
[14:07] ---
    What's with that face?
[14:12] ---
    Venom spotted! It's in the Jordan area.
[14:15] ---
    Equip the ARX-7 with a
    rapid-deployment booster.
[14:20] ---
    Supply it with a Boxer shot cannon,
[14:22] ---
    and put it on standby in the elevator.
[14:24] ---
    Captain, the use of the Arbalest
    is supposed to be prohibited.
[14:28] ---
    We can use it as a decoy.
[14:30] ---
    I want to reduce the danger
    they are in as much as I can.
[14:33] ---
    And besides, Sagara still hasn't...
[14:36] ---
    I am sorry to say this, Captain,
[14:38] ---
    but the only conclusion I can come to is
    that Sagara has abandoned his mission.
[14:42] ---
    Relying on that AS and that
    man is an obvious mistake.
[14:46] ---
    You cannot say that for certain.
[14:49] ---
    This is not some school club activity!
[14:51] ---
    I am well aware of that!
[14:52] ---
    Are you going to lecture me now of all times?
[14:55] ---
    Ma'am, this time I simply
    refuse to stand by and watch!
[14:58] ---
    You are allowing your personal
    feelings to interfere,
[14:59] ---
    and are even trying to twist an
    order from the highest level!
[15:02] ---
    What will become of the organization
    and its regulations?
[15:05] ---
    Not only that,
[15:06] ---
    you are giving preferential treatment to
    an officer who has abandoned his duty.
[15:09] ---
    This is outrageous!
[15:10] ---
    Very well.
[15:11] ---
    Then tell me,
[15:13] ---
    who was it who forced a ridiculous amount
    of heavy responsibility upon that officer?
[15:18] ---
    Well, uh...
[15:19] ---
    It was us! If you think
    otherwise, then tell me!
[15:23] ---
    Six months ago at that airport,
[15:25] ---
    who was it who risked his own life in order
    to provide us with valuable information?
[15:29] ---
    Four months ago, who was it who faced
    an absurdly powerful enemy machine
[15:34] ---
    without any preparation and defeated it?
[15:36] ---
    Deep in the mountains of Helmajistan,
[15:38] ---
    who was it who recaptured a nuclear
    warhead that was being smuggled
[15:40] ---
    even while his comrades were
    being killed one by one?
[15:44] ---
    Three months ago, who was it who
    gave his all to protect this ship?
[15:49] ---
    Tell me, who was it?
[15:52] ---
    It was Sergeant Sagara.
[15:54] ---
    Correct.
[15:55] ---
    And yet you're still going to blame him?
[15:57] ---
    You're going to just brand him a coward?
[16:01] ---
    No.
[16:03] ---
    If you really want me to, I'll admit it.
[16:06] ---
    I love him.
[16:08] ---
    But those personal feelings
    are irrelevant right now.
[16:11] ---
    I am positive he will return and do his job.
[16:13] ---
    He will not abandon us.
[16:15] ---
    No matter how hopeless he may seem right now,
[16:17] ---
    I am sure he will pull himself
    together again and come back to us.
[16:21] ---
    You can't change a person's basic nature.
[16:23] ---
    So he will come back, because
    he is strong and kind!
[16:26] ---
    Strong and kind?
[16:29] ---
    Captain, do you think that
    is enough to convince me?
[16:32] ---
    It's not about that, is it?
[16:35] ---
    What you doubt is my judgment.
[16:39] ---
    Commander Richard Mardukas.
[16:42] ---
    Do you believe in me? Or do you not?
[16:46] ---
    Are you going to believe
    in me, Teletha Testarossa,
[16:47] ---
    who has protected this ship to this day?
[16:51] ---
    Go on, make your decision.
[17:05] ---
    You've grown strong, haven't you?
[17:10] ---
    Aye, ma'am!
[17:11] ---
    Equip the ARX-7 with a
    rapid deployment booster
[17:15] ---
    and Boxer shot cannon,
[17:18] ---
    and have it stand by in the elevator!
[17:20] ---
    Equip the ARX-7 with a
    rapid deployment booster
[17:23] ---
    and Boxer shot cannon,
[17:25] ---
    and have it stand by in the elevator. Aye.
[17:28] ---
    Thank you.
[17:30] ---
    I want everyone to make it back safely!
[17:34] ---
    She says...
[17:36] ---
    The communication line
    just opened on its own.
[17:38] ---
    Did someone let us hear that on purpose?
[17:41] ---
    Who knows.
[17:42] ---
    But I never would've expected Tessa to
    argue so forcefully with the XO like that.
[17:47] ---
    She wants everyone to
    make it back safely, huh?
[17:49] ---
    What do you think, guys?
[17:51] ---
    That's what I intend to do, of course.
[17:53] ---
    We can't make our princess sad, now can we?
[17:57] ---
    To think she'd be so worried about us...
[18:00] ---
    I'm honestly moved!
[18:02] ---
    It's just like her.
[18:03] ---
    She's a good officer.
[18:05] ---
    We have until 0600 hours.
[18:07] ---
    If you call yourselves pros,
    you'd better live up to that.
[18:09] ---
    I don't make mistakes. You
    don't make mistakes, either.
[18:13] ---
    And that's going to get everything
    wrapped up nice and tight.
[18:14] ---
    Got that?
[18:15] ---
    Roger!
[18:48] ---
    What a horrible look you've got on your face.
[18:50] ---
    Are you worried? Or maybe torn?
[18:53] ---
    What happened to the "saint" I knew?
[18:56] ---
    I'm disappointed.
[18:58] ---
    You're full of internal conflict now.
[19:00] ---
    You're not even worth killing.
[19:01] ---
    Shut up!
[19:03] ---
    You're the same as me. So why are
    you trying to be a normal guy now?
[19:08] ---
    You make me want to puke.
[19:09] ---
    I'm telling you to shut up!
[19:10] ---
    No, I'm telling you.
[19:12] ---
    Ever since you met those guys
    at Mithril and at that school,
[19:15] ---
    you've become worthless.
[19:17] ---
    You've gotten pulled in by those
    worthless scum and become a bore.
[19:22] ---
    I just told you a little while ago
    that you were frustrated, right?
[19:25] ---
    That's their fault. Their
    so-called "humanism."
[19:30] ---
    The assassin-saint Kashim I
    knew would never fit in there.
[19:33] ---
    You're being suckered by them.
[19:36] ---
    Listen. The weak are parasites of the strong.
[19:40] ---
    They dazzle you with words like
    "kind friend" and "trust,"
[19:43] ---
    and then they suck your strength
    until there's nothing left.
[19:48] ---
    Tell me your true feelings.
[19:50] ---
    Do you really enjoy being
    with a bunch of weaklings?
[19:53] ---
    Come on, answer me.
[19:55] ---
    I'm asking you if you really enjoy
    being with a bunch of weaklings.
[19:58] ---
    Well?
[19:59] ---
    I'm telling you to shut the hell up!
[20:04] ---
    So you don't even have the drive to kill me?
[20:10] ---
    I'm going to die soon.
[20:12] ---
    And I plan on bringing others down with me.
[20:16] ---
    I ordered Yu Fang to go berserk in Hong Kong
[20:19] ---
    until the whole city is a sea of flames.
[20:22] ---
    And I ordered Yu Lan to get rid
    of the biggest cancer of all...
[20:27] ---
    the one that caused your downfall.
[20:30] ---
    Cancer?
[20:31] ---
    The woman, Kashim.
[20:33] ---
    Haven't you heard yet?
[20:36] ---
    I've heard every single word of it.
[20:38] ---
    Her body was mangled, still
    wearing her cute school uniform.
[20:42] ---
    I heard she was pretty tough though,
    and she didn't beg for her life.
[20:45] ---
    Her last words were "I'm sorry."
[20:48] ---
    I wonder who they were meant for?
[20:50] ---
    It brings tears to my eyes!
[20:52] ---
    Y-You're lying!
[20:54] ---
    It's true!
[20:56] ---
    I wanted to show you a picture of her body
    so I could see the despair on your face,
[21:01] ---
    but I think I'm going to resist.
[21:03] ---
    'Cause you know what,
[21:05] ---
    the damage is written all
    over your face, Kashim!
[21:10] ---
    My woman in Tokyo!
[21:13] ---
    I'm already too late!
[21:16] ---
    Aww, poor Kaname-chan!
[21:19] ---
    She was such a nice girl, too!
[21:21] ---
    Gauron!
[21:23] ---
    That's right, I killed her.
[21:25] ---
    Now hate me. Go on, hate me, Kashim!

    "Next Episode"
[23:45] ---
    Gauron.
[23:46] ---
    My old enemy was the only one
    who saw completely through me.

[23:50] ---
    The devil beckons, and the final
    calculated curse surfaces.

[23:54] ---
    Next time, the final episode:
    "The Continuing Day by Day"

[23:58] ---
    Only one thing can crush despair:
[24:00] ---
    That single fierce blow.
