How long do they think it'll take for us to make that happen?! 38 00:03:52,263 --> 00:03:55,303 The Chinese government's been sending regular flights to Dejima... 39 00:03:55,303 --> 00:03:59,263 ...to avoid having to take in the huge numbers of Asian refugees that have been generated, 40 00:03:59,503 --> 00:04:02,373 so I guess they got caught in the crossfire on this one. 41 00:04:02,673 --> 00:04:04,873 If you're following the obvious logic, then yes. 42 00:04:05,243 --> 00:04:08,783 But since we don't know their real motives, we can't jump to any conclusions. 43 00:04:08,783 --> 00:04:10,253 Ishikawa, how's it coming? 44 00:04:10,883 --> 00:04:13,373 I've put taps on all the equipment in the facility. 45 00:04:13,683 --> 00:04:15,393 What kind of setup are the local cops using? 46 00:04:15,393 --> 00:04:19,153 It looks like they're running a wide-area jammer along with a press blackout. 47 00:04:19,563 --> 00:04:24,393 It's causing interference in radio usage. There'll probably be static in our cybercomms, too. 48 00:04:24,933 --> 00:04:27,203 All the cameras in the embassy are destroyed. 49 00:04:27,203 --> 00:04:32,133 They're negotiating with the cops via a phone line that's got no video feed. 50 00:04:32,443 --> 00:04:35,873 Okay, once you've put a tap on that, come back to the unmarked van. 51 00:04:35,873 --> 00:04:37,033 Roger. 52 00:04:38,173 --> 00:04:39,203 Saito! 53 00:04:39,713 --> 00:04:41,543 I've reached my designated point. 54 00:04:42,753 --> 00:04:44,783 There are image curtains drawn over the building's windows, 55 00:04:44,783 --> 00:04:46,443 so I can't verify the situation inside. 56 00:04:48,153 --> 00:04:50,223 I'm giving top priority to neutralizing the curtains. 57 00:04:50,223 --> 00:04:51,153 Good. 58 00:04:51,453 --> 00:04:55,863 Everyone else, be ready for the raid and stand by. We'll wait for orders from the Chief. 59 00:04:56,863 --> 00:04:58,093 However... 60 00:04:58,963 --> 00:05:01,563 If the Chief doesn't manage to convince the top brass, 61 00:05:01,563 --> 00:05:06,233 we'll pull out of this surveillance gig and go drown our sorrows at a nudie bar. 62 00:05:08,503 --> 00:05:12,203 It's the timing of this terrorist incident that's the problem. 63 00:05:12,443 --> 00:05:17,383 The government was set to announce in a policy address in the near future... 64 00:05:17,383 --> 00:05:21,543 ...that we would repeal our Refugee Special Action Policy. 65 00:05:21,853 --> 00:05:24,393 And that there would be an indefinite halt to the acceptance of the constant influx of refugees... 66 00:05:24,393 --> 00:05:28,193 ...as well as a phased reduction of the the refugee districts. 67 00:05:28,563 --> 00:05:32,863 You want to avoid giving the public the impression that the first major policy shift... 68 00:05:33,163 --> 00:05:37,263 ...regarding refugees since the war was the result of caving in to a terrorist act. 69 00:05:37,573 --> 00:05:40,873 To do that, you will need to neutralize the terrorists... 70 00:05:40,873 --> 00:05:43,603 ...before their demands are leaked to the media. 71 00:05:44,543 --> 00:05:48,533 I assume that my being called here has something to do with that, as well. 72 00:05:49,183 --> 00:05:52,013 The rumors are true, I see. You're a shrewd man. 73 00:05:52,323 --> 00:05:54,923 There's no need to waste time on flattery. 74 00:05:54,923 --> 00:05:57,323 This matter demands immediate attention. 75 00:05:58,053 --> 00:06:01,653 Very well. I'll get straight to the point, then. 76 00:06:02,593 --> 00:06:08,393 I'm willing to support your budget proposal to rebuild Section 9 at the next assembly. 77 00:06:09,173 --> 00:06:14,903 But that is only if no hostages are killed in the process of neutralizing the terrorists. 78 00:06:15,273 --> 00:06:17,313 That is a deal-breaker. 79 00:06:17,313 --> 00:06:22,153 Simply give us orders to go in, and we will meet that request at any time. 80 00:06:22,153 --> 00:06:24,143 Don't be so hasty, Aramaki. 81 00:06:24,583 --> 00:06:27,883 We're just now starting to rush around to contact the proper offices... 82 00:06:27,883 --> 00:06:32,123 ...to get the signatures we need for a revision to the Special Forces Bill. 83 00:06:32,393 --> 00:06:34,463 You're starting the paperwork now? 84 00:06:34,463 --> 00:06:37,263 Do you truly think that we have the luxury of that much time, sir? 85 00:06:37,263 --> 00:06:39,303 If you sent in your team without a request, 86 00:06:39,303 --> 00:06:44,203 ...I can picture the media feeding frenzy that would follow even if you did succeed. 87 00:06:44,703 --> 00:06:48,103 Remember, it hasn't been all that long since the Section 9 incident. 88 00:06:48,473 --> 00:06:52,513 Until an authorization request for a provisional revision of the bill has been accepted, 89 00:06:52,513 --> 00:06:54,313 your people aren't going to get involved. 90 00:06:55,313 --> 00:06:58,713 I'm sorry, but what the Home Affairs Minister says is correct. 91 00:06:59,683 --> 00:07:02,623 Please remain on standby until we have all the paperwork ready. 92 00:07:06,593 --> 00:07:07,653 Hear anything?

102 00:07:41,863 --> 00:07:48,023 There was even a pledge to gradually phase out the refugee policy in her inauguration speech. 103 00:07:48,303 --> 00:07:49,873 Even if they hadn't done anything, 104 00:07:49,873 --> 00:07:52,663 a policy similar to their demands probably would've been instituted anyway. 105 00:07:53,203 --> 00:07:57,873 There was a demand for refugees as a cheap labor force during the postwar reconstruction, 106 00:07:58,273 --> 00:08:02,683 but the national unemployment rate goes up year after year, and so does the tax rate. 107 00:08:03,213 --> 00:08:06,083 Add in the fact the government is recklessly spending... 108 00:08:06,083 --> 00:08:09,353 ...part of that heavy tax on the steady increase of refugees, 109 00:08:09,753 --> 00:08:12,293 it's not hard to understand why subversive elements have come out of the woodwork... 110 00:08:12,293 --> 00:08:14,263 ...after running out of patience. 111 00:08:14,793 --> 00:08:17,763 In the end, it's the taxpayers who are being made to pay out compensation... 112 00:08:17,763 --> 00:08:21,633 ...in the form of taking in refugees as a barter for the Article 9 issue... 113 00:08:22,103 --> 00:08:24,793 ...to let this country play the good guy in the international community, 114 00:08:25,033 --> 00:08:28,373 But some of those refugees are taxpayers, too. 115 00:08:28,573 --> 00:08:32,443 That said, I guess some legit taxpayers are catching on that their heavy tax burden... 116 00:08:32,443 --> 00:08:36,903 ...is going to support the lifestyles of people who might take jobs away from them. 117 00:08:37,813 --> 00:08:41,943 Even so, it's a little rash for that to lead directly to terrorism. 118 00:08:42,153 --> 00:08:46,193 If you put it that way, I'd also have to think that what's awfully rash here... 119 00:08:46,193 --> 00:08:49,693 ...is for us, a group that was disbanded by force, 120 00:08:49,693 --> 00:08:53,223 to be called in the instant there's an incident that the police can't handle. 121 00:08:53,933 --> 00:08:57,533 I bet the Chief's meeting with the bigwigs of the new administration right now... 122 00:08:57,533 --> 00:09:00,473 ...with his blood boiling all the while. 123 00:09:00,773 --> 00:09:02,613 The Home Affairs Minister is the only holdover... 124 00:09:02,613 --> 00:09:04,273 ...who came out unscathed from the last administration. 125 00:09:04,343 --> 00:09:05,933 What's up with that? 126 00:09:06,283 --> 00:09:09,113 Right now, the Home Affairs Ministry's only function... 127 00:09:09,113 --> 00:09:11,413 ...is as a buffer between the various ministries in the country. 128 00:09:12,453 --> 00:09:14,883 The fact that the Minister hasn't been replaced... 129 00:09:14,883 --> 00:09:18,013 ...probably proves that no one considers the ministry itself a threat. 130 00:09:18,493 --> 00:09:22,183 And that harmlessness was what helped keep Section 9 off their radar until now. 131 00:09:24,593 --> 00:09:27,903 Speaking of which, have you heard that we'll be getting... 132 00:09:27,903 --> 00:09:31,203 ...a bunch of new recruits if this mission goes down well? 133 00:09:31,533 --> 00:09:32,663 New recruits? 134 00:09:33,343 --> 00:09:36,243 Major? I know it's not my place to be saying this, 135 00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:40,643 ...but I don't think there are all that many people who can handle the work we do. 136 00:09:44,183 --> 00:09:49,213 Well, that's only if we carry out this mission the way we want. 137 00:09:49,853 --> 00:09:54,693 Major, I've neutralized the image curtains, but they've got the blinds pulled, too. 138 00:09:54,893 --> 00:09:57,053 These guys seem to do things by the book. 139 00:09:57,333 --> 00:09:58,263 Ishikawa. 140 00:09:59,563 --> 00:10:02,223 Run a bypass on that phone line that you put a tap on. 141 00:10:02,633 --> 00:10:06,333 I'm gonna borrow the eyes of somebody inside and get as good a feel for the situation as I can. 142 00:10:06,643 --> 00:10:08,263 Understood.
