Good night...

Prince.

It's at school!

In locker D12!

Target sighted!

Don't let him get away!

Five!

Forced out by the world

"Terror in Resonance"

On top of an outrageously thin needle

Trying to find my balance

The tip of my finger touches you

And I know I'm not alone

With the single bent wing we were given

From when I was born

(Until I die)

I'll ask what you want to do

Because your smile is like that of an angel

In the heat of summer

(Getting distorted)

Out of the gaps between the cluster of burning buildings

We fall down

I'll pull (I'll pull)

The last trigger (last trigger)

Winter covers everything

"Reception"

I'm the wanted Sphinx Number 1.

Who?

I've come to turn myself in.

Wh--?

Freeze!

--Hey! --Get back!

Put your hands behind your head!

You've gotta be kidding.

--We are checking to see if he's the real thing or not.

--Big news! --We are checking to see if he's the real thing or not.

Sphinx has surrendered!

What?

What is the meaning of this?

"Got it. I'll take care of it right away."

"Yeah... Things are still unclear."

Sphinx is telling us to get a detective named Shibazaki.

He says he won't tell us anything until we do.

I am Kurahashi from the First Investigation Division.

Shibazaki is currently on leave, so I will hear what you have to say instead.

Why did you turn yourself in?

Why are you committing these crimes?

Who in the world are you?

I have set the timer of the atomic bomb.

Hm?

If you want to stop the bomb, then accede to my demands.

Demands?

Hm? What is it?

Huh? Oh, I saw Haruka the other day.

Really? You should have told me.

I wanted to give her some things.

Oh, I was just thinking that kids become adults in the blink of an eye.

Did something happen?

Hm? No...

Weirdo.

Oh my, there's a suspicious-looking person out there.

Huh?

You look really suspicious, you know.

You're going to see Mamiya, aren't you?

I will go, too.

Don't blame me if anything happens.

I-I'm prepared for the worst.

Then I have an important request to make of you.

Yes, sir!

Buy me some cigarettes.

What?

It's a superstition. When I feel like I'm about to hit on something big,

there's a brand I always smoke.

Right.

A press conference?!

What in the world is he planning on talking about?

He specified that it should be held at 8 p.m.

and requested that we gather all the different news outlets.

I fear if we do not hold the conference,

then the perpetrator really will set the atomic bomb off.

You plan to negotiate with a terrorist?

We should think of the safety of the citizens first.

He said that as long as we hold the conference, he will hand over the bomb.

We can't trust him!

They have kept their promises in all the crime announcements in the past.

This is the first time they are making a demand.

But, if the worst were to happen...

I will take complete responsibility.

Yes?

This is Shibazaki from the Metropolitan Police Department.

I would like to see Shunzo Mamiya.

"Mamiya"

He is not receiving any visitors at the moment.

Please tell him that I have come in place of the 26 children who disappeared.

One moment please.

A pack of Shinsei cigarettes.

We don't have any.

This is the eighth place I've tried!

Are you resolved to hear this?

What?

Your resolve must have been very strong for you to come here.

Yes. Finally, after 15 years...

You probably don't remember, but I have a personal grudge to settle with you, too.

Leave us.

I don't know the details.

All the police said was that the suspect turned himself in.

Five!

They said they've never seen a case like yours,

and that you needed closer examination immediately.

I'm not going to let anyone else have Nine.

A youngster like you probably can't imagine it, but Tokyo used to be a burnt field.

It's been almost 70 years since that war ended.

However, this country remains a defeated country.

Even now the spirit of the country is still that of a loser, without a shred of dignity.

This country must become truly independent.

So that's why you implemented the Athena Plan.

That's right.

To artificially create humans whose intelligence and sensitivity surpass that of ordinary people,

and raise personnel more useful than any weapon.

That was the goal.

The plan failed, but they became a fine foundation for the country.

What the hell? What do you mean "for the country"?

You stole the lives of children for your own satisfaction.

Sphinx came back to commit patricide... to kill you all...

By stealing the thing you least want to be made known.

We need evidence that at the same time this country's constitutional interpretation changed,

they started producing atomic bombs behind closed doors.

In order to do so, it is imperative that we secure the target that stole the evidence.

Please do not forget that.

If you know that much...

Will you bring this matter to the authorities?

No matter what a single detective shouts,

it will be no more than a small voice in the midst of a storm.

That voice will disappear before it reaches anyone.

Even if that is the case, I will continue to shout.

I will never forgive you!

Excuse me.

It appears Sphinx has surrendered.

"Breaking News: Man claiming to be Sphinx turns himself in to Metropolitan Police Department."

We have information that someone identifying himself as "Sphinx" has turned himself in.

The suspect has demanded a press conference at 8 p.m. tonight,

and said in a deposition that he will explain everything there.

Twelve!

Sphinx has surrendered!

What now?

Why would Nine go to the police?

What should we do?

Hey, you wanna go over there?

"Terror in Resonance"

Come on, let's ride that!

Kurahashi, please! Just a glimpse is fine.

Please let me see him!

That's impossible.

Even within the police, only a select few have access to the suspect.

Can't you do something?!

I know him best out of--

Shibazaki!

Leave this to me.

The guy even specified the location of the conference.

What do you think he will talk about there?

There will likely be interference from different quarters.

No matter what happens, do not let anyone else have him.

Yeah.

"8 p.m. - West Shinjuku" "Hyatt Tokyo 39F Ballroom"

What's that?

The location of today's conference.

You picked it up by accident, didn't you?

No matter how you look at it, it's a trap!

There's always an ulterior motive when they turn themselves in.

Besides, weren't there two perpetrators?

Don't tell me the other one will be bombing the conference or something?

What's with that pack of cigarettes?

The higher ups aren't idiots.

They should already be on the lookout for that.

We should still tell them.

We're suspended, you know.

It'll be too late once something happens!

Shibazaki! Why did you go off on your own?

Because you were too slow.

Did you meet Mamiya?

Yeah. I'd planned to settle this even if it meant finishing each other off,

but I wanted to see their future...

...with my own eyes.

I told you, only the Japanese police are allowed to go with him.

That's what Sphinx demanded.

I see. So you're saying you will acquiesce to the demands of a terrorist,

but you will not go along with the wishes of the American government.

That... That's not what I...

Do not disappoint us.

I look forward to your favorable response.

You're wasting your time.

You should just steal the things you want.

Ever since the incident at the airport,

we have not been on good terms with the Japanese government.

If we do any more--

An attack from an armed group of unknown affiliation...

Something like that shouldn't be a problem, right?

Look, isn't this cute?

Here.

Nine's going to hold a press conference at 8 p.m...

What'll happen to him?

Will we be able to see him again?

It doesn't matter anymore.

It has nothing to do with me anymore.

Twelve...

I don't have the right to face him.

I betrayed...

Stupid Twelve!

When you came... that time...

I was really happy!

That's why Nine will... I'm sure Nine will be, too...

"Shuto Expressway Information" "Shuto Expressway - All lanes closed"

"Shuto Expressway" "All lanes closed"

Only press designated by the police are allowed to enter.

I am the police.

Huh?

Hey, that's my badge!

Shibazaki!

Here.

We will arrive in 15 minutes at 7:20 p.m.

Don't let your guard down.

"Trace all vehicles having left the police department within three hours."

"All of them?"

"Get to it!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Speed up!

Don't let the car stop! Cut through!

Yes, sir!

"The transport's a decoy."

"Erase D-6 and E-7."

"Understood."

This, huh?

Clarence.

Got it. We'll do our best to detain it.

Five!

You'll bite your tongue...

She's here, huh?

Hey!

Five...

Hm?

You are relieved of your duties as of now.

Is this your idea of a joke?

Multiple incidences of insubordination and breaking the law.

In addition, your physical condition has deteriorated.

There's more than enough reason for your dismissal.

It's regrettable. It really is, Five...

"It's me. The situation's changed. Have another vehicle pursue the target."

No way... To make an enemy out of us...

I told you, didn't I?

I'm not going to let anyone else have Nine.

Nine.

I could never beat you.

I always wanted to beat you.

But I didn't have much time left.

I was able to survive until now because of you.

Yes. You are the one who let me live.

Five, you...

But it looks like it's time for us to part ways.

So... live for me too, Nine.

Goodbye, Nine. I'm going on ahead.

Five!

Why...?

Why aren't they coming?

Good evening. This is Sphinx Number 1.

Because of your interference, today's press conference has been cancelled.

Shibazaki!

--This is the press conference? --It's not, is it?

This was set to be broadcast automatically if the press conference got cancelled.

"Sphinx Incident - New crime announcement"

It's the last message.

That being the case, the last bomb is an atomic bomb.

The bomb will automatically detonate at 10 p.m.

No one can stop it now.

Well then, people of Japan--

Goodbye.

Will anyone sprinkle the ocean over my head?

I want to be showered by submerged fish and sun

The brilliant unknown

The magic that disappears when I stumble

As if looking at the cracked sky through a glass slide

On the roof of an abandoned building

Surrounding the murmur of down feathers

We are a song

Clad in the throbbing

Of the light decorating the ashen ground

We are a bouquet

Wings pulled out
