Original subtitles

The bomb is set to go off at exactly 8 p.m.

We'll just have to retrieve the bomb ourselves before that.

That's an impossible mission.

Don't tell me... she's the one...

I thought the bomb would be removed!

That's what I heard, as well.

"New message received"

Nine, is this...?

Yeah, there's no mistaking it.

It's Five.

Forced out by the world

On top of an outrageously thin needle

"Terror in Resonance"

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

♪ London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down, ♪

--I've never seen you having so much fun, Five. ♪ --London Bridge is falling down... ♪

Of course I'm having fun.

Playing a game by yourself is boring.

You need a loser to crush so badly they can't recover.

That's why...

I'm the only one who can catch you...

Nine.

Whoa.

Regarding the subway bombing incident,

although there were no casualties,

there were 72 injured total, the most of any attack so far.

My subordinates are currently analyzing surveillance footage from the Shuto Shinjuku Line

and the bomb fragments.

We are also looking into the connection between the bombings

and the interrupted cell phone service across all companies.

That's all for the meeting,

but I have one final announcement.

Kurahashi?

There was actually an offer from the American government to help with the investigation.

Henceforth, we will receive assistance from the FBI's Counterterrorism Division.

Their requests take top priority.

That is all.

The FBI?

Nine, are you okay?

Why don't you rest more?

No, she won't wait.

I wonder if she holds a grudge against us.

At that time, if she wanted to run away, she could have.

I'm sure she just wants to play a game.

She wants to continue the game from that time.

She'll be a difficult opponent.

Well, she won't let us get away easily.

--Um... --Hm?

Is there anything I can help with?

There's nothing you can do.

Th-Th-There are things I can do, too!

Like what?

I mean...

Blow things up? Kill people?

Well, that's...

Could you do it?

Probably not...

This is what we're doing.

Nine, this explosion wasn't our fault--

Just don't get in the way.

That's the best thing you can do right now.

Saying they're going to help is just a front.

Those guys plan to take over, don't they?

If that happens, we might not be able to do anything.

There's nothing I can do about this case.

Speaking of which, you were called out of the meeting yesterday, weren't you?

What was that about?

I was called to the chief cabinet secretary's office.

All the higher ups were sitting in a meeting submissively.

There, I met those two...

Let me introduce you, Kurahashi.

This is FBI Special Agent Clarence.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Kurahashi from the First Investigation Division.

They're here to help with the Sphinx investigation.

The FBI?

Of course, this has already been approved by the cabinet.

But why is the FBI sparing their esteemed personnel to work on a domestic incident in Japan?

Kurahashi.

Six months ago,

a nuclear fuel reprocessing facility in Aomori was attacked by an unknown entity.

The United States government is extremely interested in what was stolen from there.

And we conjecture that the culprits of the serial bombings and this attack are one and the same.

We have proof.

It's not a conjecture.

What kind of proof do you have?

If you would release that information, we could arrest the culprits--

On top of letting those guys do whatever they want, you don't have a single piece of evidence.

To make matters worse, you let them leak information about the case,

and then you incompetent fools talk about arresting them?

That's the best joke I've heard all year.

Apparently, the woman is a researcher dispatched from an organization called NEST,

the U.S.'s Nuclear Emergency Support Team.

A researcher? That woman?

I confirmed her official job title.

So they also believe that plutonium was stolen at Aomori?

Yeah.

Kurahashi, those guys plan to chase the culprits down and expose them.

The way they tried to yesterday.

If the culprits are completely cornered and use their "joker"...

It's a pale yellow...

Huh?

Your voice.

What?

You know, I have this thing called synesthesia.

Where I can see colors in sound.

Colors?

Yeah. But you know, I hardly ever see a voice that color.

I see.

It's rare. I mean it.

I'm in the way, aren't I?

It's better if I'm not here, isn't it?

That guy might say mean things, but he doesn't actually hate you.

But just now...

It's 'cause that guy's really sadistic.

You know him really well, don't you?

Hm?

I'm a little jealous.

Well, we've been together for a long time.

Just the two of us.

"New announcement from Sphinx"

We have some breaking news.

The serial bombers, Sphinx, have released a new crime announcement.

Oh, looks like a fake has arrived.

We've gotten pretty famous, haven't we?

She's made the first move, huh?

"Julius Caesar gone to Arab."

Did he?

He went to Egypt. But this is most likely...

The Caesar cipher.

So it means they should be changed into Arabic numerals?

The Caesar cipher is a simple substitution cipher that shifts each letter

a fixed number of places down the alphabet.

If there is no assigned shift, the default is three letters.

Since it doesn't look like there's an assigned shift,

we should be able to solve this using a 3-letter shift.

It's not a number sequence.

Coordinates, maybe?

Maybe.

"Related tools" "Show: Traffic . Transit Map . Satellite"

Haneda Airport, International Terminal.

Yeah, one of our targets.

All right, let's contact Haneda immediately.

Yes, sir!

What does the last "20" mean?

It's probably the time the bomb is set to go off.

"VON voyage"?

"Have a good trip"?

They're just messing around!

It's spelled wrong.

No, it's correct.

A "VON" in Haneda. That makes it seem like it's really us.

It's probably a message.

She's telling us that she's seen through everything.

"Terror in Resonance"

Yes, I have been briefed of the situation by the MLIT.

Even within the police, only a small group are participating in this top secret operation,

so please direct any communications from either police or terrorists here.

I understand. I will make the arrangements.

Were those instructions acceptable?

Even though the culprits know it's a trap...

They'll come.

They'll come to see me.

Is there a possibility that the bomb's a fake?

If it's Five, she'll blow things up for real.

Because she can just let it blow up and let the police say it was us.

What if we make a statement saying it wasn't us?

A mysterious terrorist group or a police announcement.

Which do you think the world will believe?

I see. If we go stop the bomb, we'll be caught.

If we ignore it, we'll be made out to be indiscriminate murderers.

It's a pretty neat trap.

The airport is overflowing with people on summer vacation.

Depending on where the bomb is set and how powerful it is,

hundreds of people could die.

She can't be sane.

There was never any sanity to begin with.

For her,

or for us.

What's wrong?

Is this really them?

Huh? Why do you say that?

It's too practical.

It doesn't feel like there's an underlying message.

We don't have time to think about that right now!

We only have four hours before the bomb goes off.

Let's go, Shibazaki!

Everyone, gather round please.

We have orders from the top.

The bomb disposal team will take care of removing the bomb.

You all should stand by here.

W-Wait a minute, Director!

This is a challenge to us!

Please let us go!

--That's right! --I can't accept this.

Yeah, why do we have to stay here?

--What's going on? --Everyone, calm down!

Director, what do you mean by "orders from the top"?

It's an order from the superintendent general.

I shouldn't have to say this, but don't do anything on your own.

Is that clear?

Shibazaki, where are you going?

To get some food.

It doesn't look like we'll be ordered to move out any time soon, anyway.

But you know, the international terminal is really big.

Yeah.

How will we find the bomb?

Once we get to the airport, the next riddle will probably appear.

There are about 1500 surveillance cameras in the international terminal.

She'll definitely be monitoring them, huh?

We just have to move on the assumption that we'll be caught.

But then we need another person whose face isn't known, right?

Um, I thought... I'd cook...

...some noodles...

That's out of the question.

No noodles...?

Where are you going?

It's a violation of the rules to use official vehicles to go out and eat.

Or are you planning on committing an even greater violation?

These days, it's not cool to act like a lone wolf, you know.

That goes for you too, Hamura.

Shibazaki, we'll be joining you for your meal.

Impossible.

But don't you think someone amateurish would be better in this case?

"Amateurish"?

Let's go.

Um, Kokonoe...

I mean, Nine!

I want to be... one of you.

So even though I can't handle the bombs and stuff yet,

I'll try hard!

We'll move separately.

Huh?

To avoid the surveillance cameras.

You take the train.

But we're the terrorists.

Isn't it weird for us to go and stop the bomb?

"Everything's in place."

"Employee Parking"

"Guard room"

"Pull up the 'Runpass' activity log."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Filter down to users active in the last 15 minutes."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Check with all airport personnel lists."

"Just a moment..."

"Move!"

"My apologies."

You're being careless, Nine.

"Show the camera C-15 from 10 minutes ago."

"It'll take 3 minutes to transfer the data."

"You're kidding!"

"Bring up F-12 to G-6 on the main monitors."

"Done."

Is it about time, you think?

Yeah, we're going out.

"Target confirmed."

Chess, huh?

That Five... She wants to continue the game from before?

Yeah. She's planning on playing a game using this airport as the chessboard.

If we win the game, the position of the last piece will tell us where the bomb is, huh?

Yeah.

--Knight to F6! --I'll leave it to you!

Now, let the game begin, Nine...

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
