The truth is that among the various acts of terrorism that the National Police Agency... 38 00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:09,653 ...have been keeping their eyes on since that takeover of the Chinese embassy, 39 00:03:09,653 --> 00:03:13,613 we've already found seven cases of an identical logo being used in the claims of responsibility. 40 00:03:14,363 --> 00:03:18,883 We've also recently discovered it on a letter threatening Nanyou Shimbun Press... 41 00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:21,633 ...and in that assassination warning to the Prime Minister. 42 00:03:22,333 --> 00:03:25,303 Do the nine cases have anything in common? 43 00:03:25,573 --> 00:03:27,903 We haven't found anything so far. 44 00:03:27,903 --> 00:03:30,003 Admittedly, there was a miscommunication of information... 45 00:03:30,003 --> 00:03:32,673 ...between the prefectural police officers in charge of the various cases, 46 00:03:32,673 --> 00:03:37,633 but the criminal motive and ideological background of each was slightly different. 47 00:03:38,083 --> 00:03:43,073 And most importantly, the contents of each letter had the air of an independent crime. 48 00:03:43,553 --> 00:03:46,893 But now that we've noticed that they have that logo in common, 49 00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:50,793 we are rushing to designate this series of events as a Nationwide Serious Crime. 50 00:03:51,233 --> 00:03:53,993 Is there any possibility of this being a thrill crime or a copycat crime? 51 00:03:54,203 --> 00:03:56,433 At this point, we don't think that's possible. 52 00:03:56,433 --> 00:04:01,093 Only a handful of people know about that logo, even inside the police force. 53 00:04:01,443 --> 00:04:04,143 It's never been mentioned in our press releases, either. 54 00:04:04,143 --> 00:04:07,883 If what you say is true, the only other explanation is that all nine must be... 55 00:04:07,883 --> 00:04:11,113 ...multiple, simultaneous terrorist attacks by a single group in the guise of independent crimes. 56 00:04:11,353 --> 00:04:14,723 This is the opening stages of an act of terrorism of the"Laughing Man" type... 57 00:04:14,723 --> 00:04:17,283 ...that's utilizing some sort of information as a medium. 58 00:04:18,823 --> 00:04:21,793 At any rate, it's not in our best interests for the Prime Minister... 59 00:04:21,793 --> 00:04:24,283 ...to be prevented from performing any more of her public duties. 60 00:04:24,493 --> 00:04:26,023 And the Prime Minister's health? 61 00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:30,163 That's just a cover story we fed to the media to distract them. 62 00:04:30,733 --> 00:04:37,693 The Prime Minister doesn't want this death threat to be mentioned in the media at all. 63 00:04:38,213 --> 00:04:40,783 And that is where you and your team come in. 64 00:04:40,783 --> 00:04:44,273 You're saying that you want Section 9 to provide personal protection for the Prime Minister? 65 00:04:44,513 --> 00:04:46,143 You catch on quickly. 66 00:04:46,653 --> 00:04:50,483 Commissioner, could you provide us with the original copy of the death threat, as well? 67 00:04:50,693 --> 00:04:53,153 We'll handle the search for the criminals. 68 00:04:53,153 --> 00:04:56,593 All we need you to do is to see to the Prime Minister's security. 69 00:04:56,963 --> 00:05:02,053 And to keep the media in the dark, refrain from doing anything that would attract attention. 70 00:05:04,133 --> 00:05:07,293 Major.

201 00:14:09,013 --> 00:14:12,543 It is the way the author discussed the true nature of the May 15th Incident... 202 00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:15,473 ...by comparing it to Japanese Noh drama. 203 00:14:16,753 --> 00:14:21,353 Even as they scorned all other forms of artistic expression, Noh theater was the sole art form... 204 00:14:21,623 --> 00:14:23,853 ...that was recognized by the warriors of Japan's feudal period. 205 00:14:24,463 --> 00:14:28,133 This is because, as opposed to many forms of art, which were nothing more than pretenses... 206 00:14:28,133 --> 00:14:32,393 ...whose true nature was to repeat a predetermined set of actions again and again, 207 00:14:33,473 --> 00:14:37,203 in Noh theater, each performance is meant to be unique, 208 00:14:37,803 --> 00:14:43,743 so the mental energy put into them is thought to be exceedingly close to that put into real events. 209 00:14:45,713 --> 00:14:49,013 If a one were to give one's life as a revolutionary leader, 210 00:14:49,423 --> 00:14:52,513 that life would be sublimated into something transcendent. 211 00:14:53,123 --> 00:14:57,653 In death, a hero meets his end, but he gains eternity. 212 00:14:58,793 --> 00:15:05,323 That is what Sylvestre's "Individual Eleven" tells us. 213 00:15:10,003 --> 00:15:11,343 I'll proceed with this, then. 214 00:15:11,343 --> 00:15:12,643 Very well. 215 00:15:12,773 --> 00:15:14,173 Chief Aramaki. 216 00:15:15,813 --> 00:15:17,873 About tomorrow's schedule... 217 00:15:18,853 --> 00:15:20,953 You needn't worry. 218 00:15:20,953 --> 00:15:24,853 We will make every effort to be unobtrusive while we accompany you, Prime Minister. 219 00:15:25,523 --> 00:15:26,993 Thank you. 220 00:15:28,023 --> 00:15:31,083 I'm sorry to involve you in a personal matter. 221 00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:35,763 Come in. 222 00:15:38,533 --> 00:15:39,503 Chief. 223 00:15:39,833 --> 00:15:41,133 What is it?
