[02:00] ---
Argos 4, this is Merida final controller.
[02:03] ---
Your heading looks good.
On course. On glide path.
[02:06] ---
This is Argos 4. I have visual on the runway.
[02:09] ---
Argos 4, you have permission to land.

"Jungle Groove"
[02:36] ---
First Lieutenant, please sign here.
[02:38] ---
Sure.
[02:45] ---
Shall I have your luggage
sent directly to your room?
[02:48] ---
Thanks. Please do.
[02:50] ---
Yes, sir.
[03:19] ---
Yes?
[03:20] ---
Captain, Sergeant Sagara has arrived.
[03:24] ---
Please send him in.
[03:25] ---
Yes, ma'am.
[03:31] ---
Come in.
[03:33] ---
Excuse me.
[03:40] ---
Sergeant Sousuke Sagara has
returned to normal duties.
[03:44] ---
Good work. At ease.
[03:47] ---
Yes, Captain.
[03:55] ---
Did you say goodbye to Miss
Kaname before you left?
[03:58] ---
No, ma'am.
[04:00] ---
You must have something you
would like to say to me.
[04:03] ---
No, ma'am. Nothing.
[04:05] ---
Calling you back from Tokyo
[04:08] ---
was a decision made by both
Tactical Headquarters and myself.
[04:10] ---
Because preparations have
already been completed
[04:12] ---
to have an Intelligence agent permanently
stationed around Miss Kaname.
[04:16] ---
What about document file 05B-D113?
[04:19] ---
What are you talking about?
[04:21] ---
My report.
[04:23] ---
I have explained repeatedly that
Intelligence has not been guarding her sufficiently.
[04:29] ---
That is strictly your own impression.
[04:31] ---
Are you saying you question my report?
[04:34] ---
I said no such thing. It was one
of many materials used to decide...
[04:37] ---
I am suitable to guard her.
[04:39] ---
Or at least that's what I thought, Captain.
[04:42] ---
It seems you do not understand
your own place, Sergeant.
[04:47] ---
You have other duties on which
you should focus, do you not?
[04:50] ---
And what duties would those be?
[04:52] ---
The Arbalest.
[04:54] ---
You are to give your undivided
attention to operating that machine.
[04:57] ---
During that hijacking incident,
[04:59] ---
the Arbalest ended up being optimized
for the first person to get into it.
[05:01] ---
In other words, you.
[05:04] ---
The developer has died, so we are
unable to change that setting.
[05:09] ---
Through trial and error, the
only thing we discovered
[05:11] ---
was that the Arbalest's Lambda Driver
will not activate for anyone except you.
[05:16] ---
On the other hand,
[05:17] ---
Amalgam or whoever they are has utilized
the same type of machine numerous times.
[05:22] ---
It was the same in Nanking the other day.
[05:24] ---
The only ones who can counter a
machine equipped with a Lambda Driver
[05:27] ---
are you and the Arbalest.
[05:31] ---
You are to leave the guarding of
Miss Kaname up to Intelligence,
[05:34] ---
and devote yourself to mastering
the use of that machine.
[05:40] ---
Are you saying I have no choice?
[05:43] ---
Yes.
[05:44] ---
Please understand, Mr. Sagara.
[05:47] ---
Is that an order?
[05:54] ---
Yes, it is.
[05:57] ---
If that's what it takes to satisfy you,
[05:59] ---
I'll give you an order or do anything else,
[06:01] ---
even if that means taking
you away from Miss Kaname.
[06:05] ---
You have it so easy, don't you?
[06:08] ---
Because you can distract yourself
by holding a grudge against me.
[06:11] ---
But I have to consider the
safety of my subordinates!
[06:14] ---
You know how powerful
the enemy is, don't you?
[06:16] ---
Melissa might die next time!
And so might Mr. Weber!
[06:20] ---
Do you have any idea what it's like for
me to be sitting in the captain's chair?!
[06:25] ---
What are you looking at?
[06:27] ---
Is she the only thing
running through your head?
[06:30] ---
Have you thought about my
feelings even a little bit?
[06:33] ---
I...
[06:34] ---
You disgust me!
[06:35] ---
You always pretend to be obedient and kind,
[06:37] ---
but you're actually cruel and
self-centered, aren't you?!
[06:39] ---
Not only that, you're lying to yourself!
[06:42] ---
Why don't you just come right out and say it?
[06:44] ---
"I want to be with her!
Don't get in the way!"
[06:51] ---
It would have been so much easier
if you had just said that.
[07:11] ---
Yes?
[07:12] ---
Captain, First Lieutenant
Clouseau is here to see you.
[07:15] ---
Please have him wait for a moment.
[07:17] ---
I will call him in shortly.
[07:19] ---
Yes, ma'am.
[07:22] ---
I hate you, Mr. Sagara.
[07:24] ---
I'm sorry.
[07:25] ---
I hate that you're always
quick to apologize, too.
[07:29] ---
I'm truly sorry.
[07:32] ---
I have nothing more to speak to you about.
[07:34] ---
Dismissed.
[07:36] ---
Yes, ma'am.
[07:47] ---
Who was that officer just now?
[07:48] ---
Sergeant Sagara, a member of
the Special Response Team.
[07:53] ---
Yes, ma'am?
[07:55] ---
Thank you for waiting. You can
go in now, First Lieutenant.
[07:58] ---
Thanks.
[08:03] ---
First Lieutenant Belfangan Clouseau,
reporting for duty as of today.
[08:07] ---
Welcome to the West Pacific
Fleet, First Lieutenant.
[08:10] ---
At ease.
[08:12] ---
Yes, ma'am.
[08:13] ---
I am familiar with your
military fame, Captain.
[08:15] ---
I am honored to meet you.
[08:17] ---
Same here.
[08:18] ---
Have you met your new subordinates?
[08:21] ---
I have not talked with them yet.
[08:23] ---
Instead of introductions, there
is something I want to test.
[08:26] ---
Something you want to test?
[08:28] ---
It may be a little rough, though.
[08:33] ---
So you made her cry, then?
[08:36] ---
Yeah.
[08:37] ---
I'm impressed!
[08:38] ---
You actually might have some
talent as a gigolo, you know?
[08:41] ---
What's a gigolo?
[08:43] ---
Don't worry about it. But anyway...
[08:47] ---
I don't know what to say, man.
[08:49] ---
You certainly seem to be enjoying yourself.
[08:50] ---
Yup, pretty much.
[08:54] ---
The captain's assertion was correct.
[08:56] ---
There's certainly no reason for me
to be compelled to guard Chidori.
[09:00] ---
If you think in terms of putting
the right person in the right post,
[09:02] ---
the measures Mithril has taken concerning
Chidori up until now probably are odd.
[09:06] ---
Well, I guess it was absurd to begin with.
[09:09] ---
Yeah, but...
[09:11] ---
But?
[09:12] ---
Logically, it makes sense, but...
[09:14] ---
But what?
[09:18] ---
No, never mind.
[09:21] ---
What's the problem? If you
got a complaint, I'll listen.
[09:24] ---
Come on, tell me.
[09:25] ---
It's okay.
[09:26] ---
Spit it out! You'll feel a lot better.
[09:33] ---
I haven't seen him before.
[09:39] ---
Water, please.
[09:41] ---
Idiot. Order some alcohol.
[09:43] ---
I don't want alcohol. I'll have water.
[09:45] ---
Whatever...
[09:52] ---
Uh, excuse me, First Lieutenant.
[09:55] ---
I really hate to come off
like a tight-ass, but...
[09:59] ---
could you move to another seat?
[10:01] ---
Why's that?
[10:02] ---
These three seats are humbly reserved for
us in the SRT, the Special Response Team.
[10:09] ---
And you're sitting in one of them.
[10:11] ---
Is that one of the regulations?
[10:13] ---
The guys at the base just
decided it on their own.
[10:16] ---
But yeah, I guess you could
call those seats reserved, kid.
[10:22] ---
I have no idea what you mean.
[10:24] ---
That's the seat our dead superior
officer used to sit at.
[10:28] ---
Sorry, but we don't want your ass sitting
there when we've never even seen you before.
[10:32] ---
I see.
[10:36] ---
What were the name and call sign
of your dead superior officer?
[10:40] ---
Uruz 1, Gail McAllen.
[10:43] ---
Then I don't need to change seats.
[10:46] ---
That man was a coward.
[10:50] ---
Umm... Coward?
[10:53] ---
Did you just say "coward"?
[10:56] ---
That's right. He was incompetent.
[10:59] ---
Wow.
[11:00] ---
You sure come on strong, don't you?
[11:02] ---
Did you hear that? He called
Lieutenant McAllen "incompetent."
[11:04] ---
But you know, he sure was...
[11:15] ---
Kurz!
[11:16] ---
Your endurance stinks, Sergeant.
[11:19] ---
Frickin' asshole...
[11:21] ---
I'm fired up now!
[11:26] ---
Kurz!
[11:27] ---
Leave him alone. It's
just a light concussion.
[11:30] ---
I'm surprised he could stand up
after taking that punch, but...
[11:33] ---
Judging from that sergeant
and the dead lieutenant,
[11:35] ---
it looks like the entire SRT
here is a bunch of dolts.
[11:38] ---
I'm disappointed.
[11:41] ---
You look like you want to say something.
[11:43] ---
First Lieutenant, I apologize
for my comrade's rudeness.
[11:46] ---
But I'd like you to take back your
insult toward Lieutenant McAllen.
[11:50] ---
And if I say no?
[11:53] ---
What's the matter?
[11:54] ---
Are you going to get into a fist fight with
a superior officer like this dolt here?
[11:57] ---
You can't, can you?
[11:59] ---
You appear to be a serious man.
[12:01] ---
But you can't do anything without an order.
[12:04] ---
In a way, you're a kind of coward.
[12:06] ---
Do you need an excuse to vindicate yourself?
[12:09] ---
Then how about this, Sergeant?
Do you want to try a little game?
[12:12] ---
You want to defend McAllen's
honor, don't you?
[12:16] ---
I was just feeling bored, myself.
[12:18] ---
Come with me. And that's an order.
[12:29] ---
Hmm?
[12:31] ---
What do you want? Did
you come to laugh at me?
[12:34] ---
I came to deliver replacement machines.
[12:36] ---
M types.
[12:38] ---
You came all the way here just for that?
[12:40] ---
Actually, there's something
I'd like to discuss with you.
[12:44] ---
It's about those sisters.
[12:46] ---
I have an idea of what
those girls intend to do.
[12:50] ---
I'd like you to stop them, if possible.
[12:52] ---
Just shut up and watch.
[12:55] ---
Understood.
[12:56] ---
So that's how it is.
[12:58] ---
I will go along with your style.
[13:02] ---
Splendid.
[13:04] ---
I'm going to have to punish
those mischievous kittens good.
[13:26] ---
Yes?
[13:27] ---
It's me.
[13:28] ---
You've seen her?
[13:30] ---
Yeah.
[13:31] ---
Well?
[13:32] ---
We can kill her. Any time.
[13:35] ---
Then wait for the order.
[13:37] ---
Yeah.
[13:38] ---
Is Sensei okay?
[13:40] ---
Yes. For a little while.
[13:43] ---
See you.
[13:48] ---
Sensei.
[13:50] ---
We are about to begin.
[13:58] ---
A game?
[13:59] ---
He calls this a game?
[14:07] ---
That machine is the same one as then...
[14:10] ---
A unit identical to the M9 type.
[14:12] ---
It's a D series experimental machine.
[14:14] ---
The specs are not significantly different
from those of the current E series.
[14:17] ---
Now that I think about it, I haven't
properly introduced myself yet, have I?
[14:21] ---
I've just transferred from
the Mediterranean Sea Fleet.
[14:23] ---
First Lieutenant Belfangan Clouseau.
[14:25] ---
As of today, I've been assigned to
the West Pacific Ocean Fleet's SRT.
[14:31] ---
My call sign is Uruz 1.
[14:33] ---
In other words, I'm your team leader.
[14:37] ---
But there's no need to hold back.
[14:38] ---
Use that AS to prove to me that
my predecessor wasn't incompetent.
[14:43] ---
Here we go.
[14:47] ---
Bastard...
[14:50] ---
Your power is the same as mine. And...
[15:02] ---
...your techniques aren't bad, either.
[15:04] ---
But...
[15:07] ---
What?!
[15:16] ---
He's strong.
[15:17] ---
Just like I thought, you're
a second-rate operator.
[15:20] ---
Your fighting method has skill,
[15:22] ---
but it isn't art.
[15:25] ---
Do you understand the difference?
[15:28] ---
I guess playing around like
this won't show me anything.
[15:31] ---
We've got the opportunity. Why
don't we have a serious fight?
[15:34] ---
Warning.
[15:35] ---
Alpha 1 has started its monomolecular cutter.
[15:38] ---
Is he serious?
[15:39] ---
Let's go!
[15:42] ---
That's it!
[15:54] ---
I don't admire this kind of method.
[15:58] ---
His name is First Lieutenant
Clouseau, correct?
[16:00] ---
He makes strange propositions.
[16:02] ---
I am the one who gave permission.
[16:03] ---
Because if we don't do this,
[16:04] ---
he probably won't be able to draw out
the Arbalest's fundamental power.
[16:08] ---
Then it is not of any use in battle.
[16:10] ---
Being able to depend on it to
activate reliably when needed:
[16:14] ---
that is the very life of a weapon system.
[16:17] ---
Are you saying the Arbalest is defective?
[16:19] ---
Yes, ma'am. I do not like
that machine at all.
[16:23] ---
Sergeant Sagara probably feels the same way.
[16:25] ---
That's the problem.
[16:43] ---
Dammit.
[16:44] ---
Ugly. Butt-ugly.
[16:47] ---
You're awkward and overbearing and
don't have one shred of flexibility.
[16:50] ---
Get up, Sergeant.
[16:52] ---
Try drawing out every bit
of power that machine has.
[16:54] ---
Understood? Every last bit of it!
[16:56] ---
Every bit of it?
[17:02] ---
The Lambda Driver?
[17:03] ---
Let's go, Sergeant!
[17:06] ---
But it...
[17:08] ---
It...
[17:27] ---
So you're just a pet dog after all, huh?
[17:32] ---
Looks like it's over.
[17:34] ---
The Lambda Driver did not activate.
[17:36] ---
I can see that.
[17:41] ---
Idiot.
[17:52] ---
So you were going to get revenge on this guy
and he beat you easy, huh? How pathetic.
[18:05] ---
Neither one of you got punished.
[18:07] ---
Looks like the whole thing was just a farce.
[18:10] ---
So that's what it was, huh?
[18:14] ---
You're finally awake, huh?
[18:17] ---
Sergeant Sagara.
[18:19] ---
Do you understand why you were beaten?
[18:22] ---
The difference in our skill.
[18:23] ---
Wrong.
[18:24] ---
It's a more basic reason.
[18:26] ---
Something fatal that you can't bury
no matter how much skill you have.
[18:29] ---
I don't understand what you mean.
[18:31] ---
You detest the Arbalest.
[18:35] ---
I could tell as soon as we fought.
[18:37] ---
Your step, your arm movement,
every one of your attacks...
[18:41] ---
They all had doubt in them.
[18:43] ---
They had impatience.
[18:45] ---
They didn't have any heart.
[18:47] ---
Never mind about the Lambda Driver,
[18:49] ---
this problem runs even deeper.
[18:52] ---
First Lieutenant. The attack
you used to bring me down...
[18:55] ---
You think I used a Lambda
Driver to pull it off?
[18:59] ---
Sorry to say this, but it doesn't take a
Lambda Driver to beat you and the Arbalest.
[19:05] ---
It was a technique that combines what the
Japanese would call "toshi" and "sunkei."
[19:09] ---
The M9 is capable of that much
potential, depending on the operator.
[19:16] ---
Listen up, Sergeant.
[19:17] ---
The weapon we use, the
AS, isn't just a machine.
[19:22] ---
It's an extension of the
trained soldier's body!
[19:26] ---
The heart of the operator
is reflected in the machine.
[19:29] ---
In a high-level battle, that small
difference determines whether you win or lose.
[19:34] ---
Realize that a man who can't
even trust his own body
[19:37] ---
has no hope of beating the enemies
we'll be up against from now on.
[19:40] ---
That is all.
[19:43] ---
How long do you plan on just sitting there?
[19:45] ---
Go to the hangar and give your signature.
[19:47] ---
I expect a report too.
[19:48] ---
Starting tomorrow, I'm going
to thoroughly re-train you.
[19:50] ---
Weber, you too.
[19:53] ---
Yeah, yeah.
[19:57] ---
The new guy's one nasty bastard.
[20:00] ---
But he's strong.
[20:03] ---
He completely defeated me.
[20:17] ---
It was you, wasn't it?
[20:19] ---
That's right.
[20:21] ---
It's been, what, a year and a half?
[20:24] ---
Actually, it's been 5 days.
We saw each other in Sicily.
[20:28] ---
Was this his room?
[20:29] ---
Yeah. It was Lieutenant McAllen's room.
[20:34] ---
Did he suffer?
[20:37] ---
They said it was instantaneous.
[20:39] ---
I see.
[20:41] ---
About that Sagara guy...
[20:43] ---
He's exactly like I used to be.
[20:46] ---
He's trying to act tough,
[20:48] ---
blindly trying to force himself
to fit into a certain frame.
[20:51] ---
Even though if he wanted to, he
could make that frame bigger.
[20:55] ---
Can he learn to do that?
[20:57] ---
I don't know.
[20:58] ---
But if he stays like
this, he'll probably die.
[21:02] ---
Or, he could turn into a real loser.
[21:04] ---
Loser?
[21:06] ---
I'm talking about the guys
we're fighting all the time.
[21:10] ---
Malice builds up slowly.
[21:12] ---
First, you lie to yourself.
[21:14] ---
Then, you resent the people around you.
[21:16] ---
And last, you begin to
scorn the entire world.
[21:19] ---
It all happens gradually.
[21:21] ---
It's a very slow change, like
the hour hand on a clock.
[21:24] ---
That's what makes it so frightening.
[21:27] ---
I'm beat. I'm going to bed.
[21:33] ---
Melissa.
[21:35] ---
What?
[21:36] ---
Don't tell anyone that the
lieutenant and I were war buddies.
[21:40] ---
I don't want them to think they
have to tip-toe around me.
[21:43] ---
As you wish.
[21:45] ---
Goodnight, Ben.
[21:50] ---
Captain. May I have a word?
[21:53] ---
What is it?
[21:54] ---
A D Standby order from Tactical Headquarters.
[21:57] ---
An AS unit is causing
large-scale destruction.
[21:59] ---
They are currently carrying
out the response procedure.
[22:02] ---
What's the location?
[22:03] ---
It's Hong Kong.
