1
00:00:09,043 --> 00:00:12,283
I'm a soldier, znatchit ya...
I'm a soldier, and that means...
2
00:00:12,283 --> 00:00:15,553
...i otvetchik i sud'ya
...that I am both defendant and judge.
3
00:00:15,553 --> 00:00:20,953
Ya stoyu na dvuh kontsah ognya
I stand at both ends of the fire.
4
00:00:22,153 --> 00:00:25,353
Ogibaya virazhi,
Leaning into the curves,
5
00:00:25,353 --> 00:00:28,693
obgonyaya smert' i zhizn',
overtaking life and death,
6
00:00:28,693 --> 00:00:34,223
ya begu srazit'sya s ten'yu lzhi
I'm running to fight the shadow of lies.
7
00:00:34,403 --> 00:00:40,833
Skol'ko b nitej ne plyol obman,
No matter how tangled the web of deception is woven,
8
00:00:40,973 --> 00:00:48,343
pokazhet lik sveta istina...
truth will always illuminate the outline of the light...
9
00:00:49,213 --> 00:00:52,423
Save your tears for the day...
10
00:00:52,423 --> 00:00:55,723
...when the pain is far behind.
11
00:00:55,723 --> 00:00:58,913
On your feet, come with me.
12
00:00:58,913 --> 00:01:02,363
We are soldiers, stand or die.
13
00:01:02,363 --> 00:01:05,533
Save your fears, take your place.
14
00:01:05,533 --> 00:01:08,633
Save them for the Judgment Day.
15
00:01:08,803 --> 00:01:12,063
Fast and free, follow me.
16
00:01:12,063 --> 00:01:16,773
Time to make the sacrifice.
17
00:01:16,773 --> 00:01:23,833
We rise or fall...
18
00:02:07,993 --> 00:02:12,163
Prime Minister Kayabuki has just greeted
Secretary of State Schrader with a handshake.
19
00:02:12,603 --> 00:02:15,723
Imperial America has flexed its muscle
as a powerful military state...
20
00:02:15,803 --> 00:02:17,463
...ever since the last
world war.
21
00:02:17,573 --> 00:02:20,763
But now, with the decline in national power
resulting from the collapse of their economy,
22
00:02:20,973 --> 00:02:22,503
they seem willing to
swallow their pride,
23
00:02:22,613 --> 00:02:25,073
...as is attested by their Secretary of State
suddenly coming to Japan to search for...
24
00:02:25,243 --> 00:02:29,843
...common ground on the Security Treaty
Renegotiation Bill that was proposed by Japan.
25
00:02:30,253 --> 00:02:33,083
However, if the government of Japan were
to turn their eyes inside their own borders,
26
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:36,053
they would see a huge number of issues
to address, such as economic instability,
27
00:02:36,123 --> 00:02:38,853
the delay in a refugee policy,
and the Article 9 issue.
28
00:02:39,193 --> 00:02:43,893
An intensification of protests and marches
on all fronts seems inevitable.
29
00:02:44,963 --> 00:02:47,363
Turn that crap off,
we're on our break!
30
00:02:47,603 --> 00:02:50,233
Don't take it out on those two
just 'cause you're losing.
31
00:02:50,573 --> 00:02:52,563
You're not doing
so hot yourself.
32
00:02:56,873 --> 00:02:58,703
Okay, this time I'm
gonna clean you out!
33
00:03:09,993 --> 00:03:11,513
I wouldn't be
so sure.
34
00:03:21,333 --> 00:03:26,033
So tell me, why do we have to bother with
mutual security guarantees these days?
35
00:03:26,243 --> 00:03:28,573
Japan's got a military,
too, right?
36
00:03:28,873 --> 00:03:31,603
The current administration
is ultra-hawkish,
37
00:03:31,713 --> 00:03:34,303
but with Imperial America's
economy in the toilet now,
38
00:03:34,613 --> 00:03:38,813
they want to negotiate a new Security Treaty
while we have the upper hand.
39
00:03:39,223 --> 00:03:41,913
I guess they wanna make up for the humiliation
they went through in the 20th Century.
40
00:03:42,353 --> 00:03:44,323
What humiliation
in the 20th Century?
41
00:03:44,523 --> 00:03:48,363
Well, to put it simply, I guess it's
the memories of losing the war.
42
00:03:48,733 --> 00:03:53,563
And because the Article 9 wild card
of our constitution is still in effect,
43
00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:56,663
the Self-Defense Army can't operate
outside the country officially.
44
00:03:56,733 --> 00:03:58,833
We can't possess
nuclear weapons, either.
45
00:03:59,443 --> 00:04:03,003
And even though the 20th Century's Security
Treaty was signed at the expense of our pride,
46
00:04:03,073 --> 00:04:05,633
the two worked pretty well as an
implicitly indivisible team,
47
00:04:05,713 --> 00:04:08,443
with America being the spear
and Japan being the shield.
48
00:04:09,053 --> 00:04:13,353
But now that we're at the point where
the new enemy is economic issues,
49
00:04:13,623 --> 00:04:18,423
I bet this new agreement is out of wanting
to protect each other's vulnerable spots.
50
00:04:18,893 --> 00:04:23,483
Gosh, you know so much!
Synchronize that last data with me, okay?
51
00:04:23,833 --> 00:04:25,323
Sure, if you want.
52
00:04:25,833 --> 00:04:27,593
Would you two
pipe down?!
53
00:04:27,733 --> 00:04:30,433
He's right! This is a life or death
struggle here.
54
00:04:30,503 --> 00:04:31,633
Shut your traps
for a while.
55
00:04:31,703 --> 00:04:36,333
Geez, not you, too, Azuma! For a rookie,
you're being awfully pushy, don't ya think?
56
00:04:37,273 --> 00:04:40,243
Don't blame others just
because you're losing.
57
00:04:41,383 --> 00:04:43,813
Let's see you laugh
when I turn the tables on you.
58
00:04:44,513 --> 00:04:45,503
I raise.
59
00:04:50,423 --> 00:04:51,483
Raise.
60
00:04:51,863 --> 00:04:53,693
Now we've got ourselves
a poker game.
61
00:04:57,863 --> 00:05:02,733
This "poker" game is all about probabilities,
so how come Mr. Saito is winning all the time?
62
00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:06,503
That's been
bugging me, too.
63
00:05:07,303 --> 00:05:09,103
Especially with the rules
they're playing under now,
64
00:05:09,173 --> 00:05:11,233
where everybody memories
the other players' cards.
65
00:05:11,373 --> 00:05:15,113
You're supposed to predict your opponent's
hand based on the first and last cards.
66
00:05:15,413 --> 00:05:18,543
Mr. Saito shouldn't be
winning every hand,
67
00:05:18,753 --> 00:05:21,723
but for some reason, he's the one who
ends up with all the chips in the end.
68
00:05:22,423 --> 00:05:24,113
He's damn good
at bluffing, that's all.
69
00:05:24,523 --> 00:05:26,723
I'll see through that mask of yours
soon enough.
70
00:05:27,223 --> 00:05:31,593
He's right. That's called a "poker face."
Remember it.
71
00:05:32,433 --> 00:05:34,193
You're out of
your league.
72
00:05:34,603 --> 00:05:40,433
Compared to the life-or-death stakes
I'm used to, poker is a kid's game.
73
00:05:40,743 --> 00:05:42,533
Aw, what do you know
about it?
74
00:05:42,613 --> 00:05:45,843
I'll be the first to admit that
you're a first-class sniper.
75
00:05:45,913 --> 00:05:49,143
But comparing that to poker?
I don't buy it.
76
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:54,543
There was this one time when I was in
a one-on-one sniping duel...
77
00:05:54,953 --> 00:05:58,183
...against somebody who
scared me down to my boots.
78
00:05:58,963 --> 00:06:02,763
I've never been as afraid of a battle of wits
as I was against that person.
79
00:06:06,863 --> 00:06:13,863
After that duel, I've been able to guess what
most people are thinking with a single look.
80
00:06:14,573 --> 00:06:16,703
Aw, you're full
of crap.
81
00:06:17,113 --> 00:06:19,543
So tell us, what was
this person like?
82
00:06:20,313 --> 00:06:21,373
Wanna hear the story?
83
00:06:21,483 --> 00:06:23,383
Tell us the story!
Tell us the story!
84
00:06:28,223 --> 00:06:31,093
If the rest of you call my raise,
I'll tell you the story.
85
00:06:35,663 --> 00:06:38,723
I ain't dying to hear your
tall tale or anything.
86
00:06:39,633 --> 00:06:41,063
Don't get the
wrong idea.
87
00:06:45,443 --> 00:06:47,633
It was back in the summer
of 2020.
88
00:06:47,973 --> 00:06:51,203
Eurasia was bogged down in
a pointless war of attrition,
89
00:06:51,443 --> 00:06:55,813
and I had gotten fed up with the vindictive
isolationist policy that Japan enjoyed,
90
00:06:55,883 --> 00:06:58,853
sitting there in the middle of
the delicate political balance.
91
00:06:59,153 --> 00:07:02,383
So I hired on as a mercenary
with the "Crimson Bianco,"
92
00:07:02,453 --> 00:07:06,583
a volunteer army that supported
Mexico's provisional government.
93
00:07:07,293 --> 00:07:12,253
And back then, my left eye was still
in its socket, safe and sound.
94
00:07:21,643 --> 00:07:24,133
Middle Eastern oil and
Central American drugs.
95
00:07:24,343 --> 00:07:27,833
There's always conflict in places
where there's profit to be made.
96
00:07:28,653 --> 00:07:32,843
Imperial America, which was divided and
exhausted from the recent nuclear world war,
97
00:07:32,923 --> 00:07:37,383
was beginning to seriously entertain the notion
of wiping out the New World's drug markets...
98
00:07:37,453 --> 00:07:40,723
...to stem the drain it caused
on their national budget.
99
00:07:42,063 --> 00:07:44,933
Using the pretext of overthrowing
Mexico's corrupt government,
100
00:07:44,993 --> 00:07:47,693
Imperial America whipped up the U.N.,
which sent in forces...
101
00:07:47,763 --> 00:07:50,733
...comprised of British and Japanese
troops into South America.
102
00:07:51,103 --> 00:07:53,903
They began with relentless
carpet bombing attacks,
103
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:56,003
citing "speedy capture of
the capital" as a reason.
104
00:07:56,213 --> 00:08:00,343
Afterwards, they resorted to strong-arm tactics
like sending mechanized divisions...
105
00:08:00,413 --> 00:08:02,903
...into Monterrey to mop up
any armed resistance.
106
00:08:03,813 --> 00:08:08,313
With my squad wiped out by the U.N.'s
armored units after the bombing,
107
00:08:08,453 --> 00:08:11,583
I was biding my time, waiting
for a chance to surrender.
108
00:08:12,063 --> 00:08:13,613
That's when it happened.
109
00:08:15,063 --> 00:08:17,423
The terminal I was using to monitor
enemy communications...
110
00:08:17,493 --> 00:08:20,863
...reported that it had made contact with a
special forces unit that had a tactical nuke.
111
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:26,233
I hadn't been able to rack up
many kills up until that point,
112
00:08:26,603 --> 00:08:31,343
so I figured that I'd earn my pay
in exchange for some thrills.
113
00:08:32,543 --> 00:08:36,213
These bastards had the nerve to
bring in a damn tactical nuke,
114
00:08:36,413 --> 00:08:41,413
so I was determined to put the fear of God
into 'em from on high.
115
00:09:04,743 --> 00:09:05,513
What is it?
116
00:09:05,513 --> 00:09:07,203
Forget it.
It's nothing.
117
00:09:17,693 --> 00:09:19,213
That must be them.
118
00:09:20,793 --> 00:09:25,193
They're too worried about being criticized for
attacking medical institutions and churches.
119
00:09:25,863 --> 00:09:28,563
They left too many places
for guerrillas to hide out in.
120
00:09:28,903 --> 00:09:29,893
True enough.
121
00:09:29,973 --> 00:09:33,533
But we've got two platoons
working on wiping out the holdouts.
122
00:09:33,903 --> 00:09:38,003
I sure hope so. You Yanks
are fundamentally sloppy.
123
00:09:38,443 --> 00:09:43,213
And I think you Brits put too much faith
in that legendary SAS of yours.
124
00:09:44,413 --> 00:09:46,213
Bloke thinks he's
John Rambo...
125
00:09:51,353 --> 00:09:52,843
Bit start...
126
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:04,093
Three...
127
00:10:04,973 --> 00:10:05,963
Four...
128
00:10:06,873 --> 00:10:07,673
Five.
129
00:10:15,383 --> 00:10:16,813
Sniper! Take cover!
130
00:10:19,223 --> 00:10:21,683
Ishikawa, assume the sniper's
using a satellite downlink.
131
00:10:22,023 --> 00:10:24,183
Hack the satellite and
pinpoint his location.
132
00:10:24,253 --> 00:10:25,193
Understood!
133
00:10:26,093 --> 00:10:28,493
Why me?
Son of a bitch...
134
00:10:28,833 --> 00:10:30,693
Corporal Mother!
Hold still!
135
00:10:31,093 --> 00:10:32,563
He isn't using
a satellite.
136
00:10:32,763 --> 00:10:35,423
There's a wide-area jammer running
that's got a radius of one kilometer.
137
00:10:35,533 --> 00:10:38,763
Can you use the source of the jamming
signal to determine his position?
138
00:10:38,943 --> 00:10:39,993
Already on it.
139
00:10:40,243 --> 00:10:43,403
Damn, you two are good at this.
You been at this a long time?
140
00:10:43,773 --> 00:10:46,263
If you have time for chit-chat,
you've got time to do some recon!
141
00:10:46,343 --> 00:10:47,673
You stupid rookie!
142
00:10:48,243 --> 00:10:50,873
Which way did the fire come from?
Were you able to get a fix?!
143
00:10:51,783 --> 00:10:54,513
The sniper's gonna listen in on us!
Switch to cybercomms!
144
00:10:54,983 --> 00:10:58,083
Just you try, tough guy.
The static's gonna give you a nasty surprise.
145
00:10:58,153 --> 00:10:59,163
Crap!
146
00:10:59,163 --> 00:11:02,323
Sorry, we slipped up. We didn't get
a fix on the enemy's location at all.
147
00:11:03,493 --> 00:11:05,093
We've gotta help
him soon, or...
148
00:11:05,233 --> 00:11:06,753
Hey, Sergeant!
What's the plan?
149
00:11:10,473 --> 00:11:12,873
Ginger!
We'll all cover you!
150
00:11:12,943 --> 00:11:16,743
Go rescue Mother!
Snow, you help Ginger!
151
00:11:17,673 --> 00:11:19,203
Racist bastard...
152
00:11:19,543 --> 00:11:20,843
Hey, Japs!
153
00:11:20,913 --> 00:11:24,743
You guys target the buildings to the west!
The rest, take the buildings to the east!
154
00:11:24,953 --> 00:11:25,913
Let's do it!
155
00:11:31,793 --> 00:11:33,593
You'll be okay.
We're gonna help you.
156
00:11:33,893 --> 00:11:34,823
You got him?
157
00:11:35,093 --> 00:11:36,023
Okay.
158
00:11:41,263 --> 00:11:43,293
Bloody hell! It's the buildings
to the west!
159
00:11:50,643 --> 00:11:54,743
I'd better make you guys wonder
where I am for a little longer.
160
00:11:59,723 --> 00:12:01,413
Now, let's see you sweat.
161
00:12:09,533 --> 00:12:10,693
A 20 millimeter?!
162
00:12:13,163 --> 00:12:16,033
Wait a minute! Stop shooting!
Hold your fire!
163
00:12:17,903 --> 00:12:19,493
Which direction was Ginger
shot from?
164
00:12:19,773 --> 00:12:20,743
From the west.
165
00:12:20,803 --> 00:12:24,363
What're you talking about? Didn't you see
that car get blown to hell just now?!
166
00:12:24,713 --> 00:12:28,113
The enemy's to the east! No, there's a
good chance that we're surrounded!
167
00:12:28,513 --> 00:12:30,573
Ishikawa, where's the jamming
signal coming from?
168
00:12:30,713 --> 00:12:32,313
It's a rough guess, but I'd say
there are three possible places.
169
00:12:32,583 --> 00:12:36,683
One's the building to the east, and the other
two are probably that church and hospital.
170
00:12:37,253 --> 00:12:38,983
You think the one to the east
is a decoy?
171
00:12:39,063 --> 00:12:40,113
Yeah, probably.
172
00:12:40,423 --> 00:12:43,693
Just before the 20mm fire, the jamming
signal cut out for a split second.
173
00:12:43,933 --> 00:12:46,423
Besides, warfare 101 says
to keep the sun at your back.
174
00:12:46,863 --> 00:12:49,593
Sergeant! The one to the east is
a decoy and probably unmanned.
175
00:12:50,533 --> 00:12:52,523
If we were surrounded, we'd be
taking more fire than this!
176
00:12:52,803 --> 00:12:55,433
It's possible that we're only
up against a single sniper!
177
00:12:55,673 --> 00:12:57,203
How the hell can you
be so sure?!
178
00:12:57,673 --> 00:12:59,613
That's what the situation
tells me!
179
00:12:59,983 --> 00:13:04,443
I have a suggestion! I'll circle around the
buildings to the east and get over to you.
180
00:13:05,083 --> 00:13:07,383
If it turns out to be unmanned,
I'll give you a signal.
181
00:13:07,553 --> 00:13:10,823
If I do, have everyone cut loose and
open fire on the church and hospital.
182
00:13:11,253 --> 00:13:13,553
Use that cover to recover the corporal
and the tactical nuke.
183
00:13:14,693 --> 00:13:17,123
Without that,
we're stuck here.
184
00:13:17,863 --> 00:13:19,923
Okay, take Snow
with you!
185
00:13:23,173 --> 00:13:25,003
Taking a detour
to regroup, huh?
186
00:13:25,173 --> 00:13:27,763
I guess they'll find out that the building
to the east is deserted soon.
187
00:13:28,203 --> 00:13:31,233
Before they do, I guess I'll pick off
another one of them.
188
00:13:35,143 --> 00:13:36,543
Just as I thought.
189
00:13:53,633 --> 00:13:55,363
Stay where you are,
Mother!
190
00:13:58,103 --> 00:13:59,693
It was deserted,
just like I thought.
191
00:14:01,073 --> 00:14:03,333
He was smart enough to only
have one round in it.
192
00:14:03,543 --> 00:14:04,813
This guy is really good.
193
00:14:04,813 --> 00:14:07,903
But we're probably only up against one man.
We should use our numbers to pin him.
194
00:14:08,113 --> 00:14:11,143
Okay, the sniper's in the church.
We'll bring the whole damn thing down.
195
00:14:11,483 --> 00:14:13,113
No, it might be
the hospital.
196
00:14:13,783 --> 00:14:15,613
That jamming signal cut out
for a second,
197
00:14:15,723 --> 00:14:20,183
so even if we exclude the ruins we can't find
a transmitter in, we can't rule out the hospital.
198
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:24,793
How many meters do you think it is between
here and there?! It's the church!
199
00:14:25,033 --> 00:14:31,163
How can you be so sure? This guy is sniping us
while making sure we can't use GPS.
200
00:14:31,673 --> 00:14:35,503
If he's a pro who knows how to compensate
for the Coriolis effect, we'll all be picked off!
201
00:14:37,313 --> 00:14:39,973
What a pain in the ass...
Who cares which one it is?
202
00:14:40,043 --> 00:14:44,913
Don't be in such a hurry. The key to survival
on the battlefield isn't bravery, it's caution.
203
00:14:45,183 --> 00:14:47,173
Take a look at Queen Kong
over there.
204
00:14:47,653 --> 00:14:50,783
When they talk about real pros,
they're talking about people like her.
205
00:14:51,323 --> 00:14:52,753
"Queen Kong"?
206
00:14:57,033 --> 00:14:58,393
A woman, huh?
207
00:15:03,073 --> 00:15:03,833
Pickles!
208
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:04,923
Got him!
209
00:15:07,043 --> 00:15:09,203
The sniper's in the hospital!
Ishikawa!
210
00:15:10,943 --> 00:15:12,573
Shithead!
211
00:15:22,693 --> 00:15:26,553
We retrieved the pod, at least.
It was too late for the Corporal.
212
00:15:30,833 --> 00:15:34,993
All right, let's return to base for now.
We can't stay here and all get wiped out.
213
00:15:35,433 --> 00:15:37,963
Don't be stupid!
He killed Pickles!
214
00:15:38,273 --> 00:15:40,263
We have to avenge him.
That guy's dead!
215
00:15:40,403 --> 00:15:43,603
That's an order! We're returning
to base to regroup!
216
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:47,843
You can go back if you want, but we'll need
to take out that sniper whatever we do.
217
00:15:48,313 --> 00:15:50,543
As long as our comm gear doesn't work,
we can't call for reinforcements.
218
00:15:50,913 --> 00:15:54,213
She's right. We still have
numerical superiority.
219
00:15:54,653 --> 00:15:57,243
What's it gonna be?
Your own mates got killed, too!
220
00:16:00,493 --> 00:16:01,963
All right. We'll do it
your way.
221
00:16:08,403 --> 00:16:11,803
That's strange... They should be in a panic,
but they're regrouping.
222
00:16:12,233 --> 00:16:14,293
Looks like they've got a good
commanding officer.
223
00:16:17,043 --> 00:16:20,533
I realized that the final showdown
was fast approaching.
224
00:16:21,383 --> 00:16:26,373
The tension shot up, and I felt the rush of
adrenaline right down to the cellular level.
225
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:31,683
When people kill each other on the battlefield,
you don't know who killed who.
226
00:16:32,253 --> 00:16:36,283
But there's one exception to that rule.
And that's with snipers.
227
00:16:38,863 --> 00:16:43,033
With sharpshooting, the act itself
leaves a calling card attached.
228
00:16:43,333 --> 00:16:46,133
That's why snipers are never
taken prisoner.
229
00:16:46,703 --> 00:16:49,693
It's their fate to be always
killed on the spot...
230
00:16:50,043 --> 00:16:52,443
...as the guy who killed somebody's
buddies or commanding officer.
231
00:16:57,013 --> 00:17:00,413
Once you've pound the building with the
recoilless rifle, cut loose with smoke grenades!
232
00:17:00,753 --> 00:17:02,623
We'll use the smoke
to cover our advance!
233
00:17:03,153 --> 00:17:04,083
Okay, let's...
234
00:17:04,693 --> 00:17:05,593
Wha...?
235
00:17:07,023 --> 00:17:08,353
You shithead!
236
00:17:16,733 --> 00:17:19,833
Okay, cover me!
Snow and I will storm the building!
237
00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:21,963
What am I,
your backup?
238
00:17:22,513 --> 00:17:25,303
Look on the bright side.
This means you've earned her trust.
239
00:17:34,323 --> 00:17:37,383
That's enough.
Leave it to the Major.
240
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:39,153
She'll improvise
from here.
241
00:17:39,663 --> 00:17:43,153
"The Major"? What's up with that
and that Queen Kong crap?
242
00:17:43,433 --> 00:17:44,893
Who the hell
is that lady?
243
00:17:45,033 --> 00:17:48,993
Hell if I know.
I just know that she's a wiz at combat.
244
00:17:49,073 --> 00:17:52,473
And that all of us
call her the Major.
245
00:18:30,243 --> 00:18:34,113
In that span of less than a second when
I was facing off against the Major,
246
00:18:34,413 --> 00:18:37,853
I pictured the outcome of the exchange
of fire, and the hairs on my neck stood up.
247
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:41,183
After taking into account
all the factors,
248
00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:45,323
this was the conclusion that my experience
as a sniper arrived at.
249
00:18:45,823 --> 00:18:47,383
I was going to
be killed.
250
00:18:47,763 --> 00:18:52,353
From her stance, and the way she was holding
that rifle on her hip without so much as blinking,
251
00:18:52,833 --> 00:18:56,293
I knew instantly that she
was a full-body cyborg.
252
00:18:56,873 --> 00:19:00,503
And that rifle was a full-sensing
semiautomatic.
253
00:19:01,273 --> 00:19:05,733
Naturally, she also had full installs of long-,
mid-, and short-range firing control software.
254
00:19:06,583 --> 00:19:10,943
Just as a test, I visualized what would happen
if I fired a single round at the Major.
255
00:19:21,863 --> 00:19:25,293
She would shoot down my first shot,
and I, with my bolt-action rifle,
256
00:19:25,363 --> 00:19:28,463
would get hit with a second round as
I tried to get back behind the pillar.
257
00:19:29,103 --> 00:19:32,233
I simulated it again and again
and got the same conclusion.
258
00:19:32,673 --> 00:19:34,573
But if you just sat there
and did nothing, you'd...
259
00:19:34,843 --> 00:19:37,833
Yeah. If I stayed put, I'd get
taken out sooner or later.
260
00:19:38,413 --> 00:19:40,433
I thought desperately, trying
to come up with some way...
261
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:43,073
...that I could turn the tables
in a situation like that.
262
00:19:44,413 --> 00:19:46,713
And that's when something
occurred to me.
263
00:19:47,023 --> 00:19:50,653
I noticed the jamming gear, which was
the first thing that the Major shot.
264
00:19:51,053 --> 00:19:54,963
Why did she use three whole rounds
to destroy it?
265
00:19:56,263 --> 00:20:01,133
Wait a minute... Could it be that she doesn't
have mid-range fire control software installed?
266
00:20:01,433 --> 00:20:03,023
Yes, that's the only
explanation...
267
00:20:03,233 --> 00:20:07,643
She knew the sniper's position, but she used
her full-sensing rifle as a short-barrel.
268
00:20:08,143 --> 00:20:10,503
That's because she's falling back on
the premise that it can be used...
269
00:20:10,573 --> 00:20:12,973
...as a substitute submachinegun
while at medium ranges.
270
00:20:13,413 --> 00:20:17,853
In which case, she needs control software
to snipe against me at this range.
271
00:20:19,153 --> 00:20:23,783
She must be in the middle of downloading
the control software via satellite!
272
00:20:25,253 --> 00:20:26,243
Get there first!
273
00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:43,743
You're pretty good with that rifle,
you bastard.
274
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:46,073
From now on, I want you
working for me!
275
00:20:47,083 --> 00:20:49,913
The software...
You had it all along!
276
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:59,123
That's right. The Major's poker face
had me fooled from the very beginning.
277
00:20:59,693 --> 00:21:03,823
And I didn't have any right
to refuse.
278
00:21:04,363 --> 00:21:08,323
Because that was the first order
that the Major ever gave me.
279
00:21:15,043 --> 00:21:16,563
Deal the last cards.
280
00:21:21,713 --> 00:21:25,113
That was an interesting story, but it's
got nothing to do with this game here.
281
00:21:25,353 --> 00:21:27,323
I raise you.
All in.
282
00:21:29,653 --> 00:21:31,283
I'm all in, too, then.
283
00:21:31,793 --> 00:21:32,983
Stop trying to
play it cool.
284
00:21:33,493 --> 00:21:36,693
This is one match that you're
not gonna bluff your way out of.
285
00:21:37,333 --> 00:21:40,193
You're trying for a royal flush
in spades, right?
286
00:21:41,363 --> 00:21:43,093
But you've got squat.
287
00:21:45,203 --> 00:21:48,733
I know that because I've
got the ace of spades.
288
00:21:50,313 --> 00:21:54,573
You can't possibly win.
And that story was a load of bull, am I right?
289
00:21:54,643 --> 00:21:56,343
It was interesting
and all,
290
00:21:56,413 --> 00:21:59,783
but I seem to recall an old movie with
a plot that was awfully similar to that.
291
00:22:01,583 --> 00:22:04,883
Yeah, you're right.
I made the whole thing up.
292
00:22:05,323 --> 00:22:07,413
Really? You did?
293
00:22:15,133 --> 00:22:19,263
I'm gonna let you guys off easy today.
Azuma, cash me out.
294
00:22:20,473 --> 00:22:22,133
Feeling a bit ashamed
of yourself, huh?
295
00:22:22,273 --> 00:22:24,443
Hey, rookie! Pay up
what he owes!
296
00:22:24,443 --> 00:22:27,103
Geez, talk about self-centered.
Some role model he is...
297
00:22:27,443 --> 00:22:30,613
I wonder if Mr. Saito
really didn't have anything...
298
00:22:33,923 --> 00:22:35,113
Look, everybody!
Look! Look!
299
00:22:35,223 --> 00:22:39,383
His last card was the 9 of spades!
He's got a straight flush!
300
00:22:39,823 --> 00:22:41,123
He's got a what?
301
00:22:46,363 --> 00:22:50,703
So does this mean... that maybe
that story just now was also true?
302
00:22:51,873 --> 00:22:53,363
Could be...
303
00:22:53,363 --> 00:22:55,363
304
00:23:10,643 --> 00:23:13,143
Finding out a galaxy...
305
00:23:13,143 --> 00:23:17,103
...of planets and stars within me...
306
00:23:17,293 --> 00:23:19,763
Listening to each of them...
307
00:23:19,763 --> 00:23:23,753
...singing the same silent melody...
308
00:23:23,753 --> 00:23:27,763
I've never seen such beauty...
309
00:23:27,763 --> 00:23:31,053
In possibility...
310
00:23:31,053 --> 00:23:35,563
No speck of doubt or fear...
311
00:23:35,563 --> 00:23:37,053
Wake up!
312
00:23:37,053 --> 00:23:39,753
I hear a voice,
313
00:23:39,753 --> 00:23:43,693
hear a voice calling out to me...
314
00:23:43,693 --> 00:23:46,203
I see inside,
315
00:23:46,203 --> 00:23:49,733
see the light now ever holding me...
316
00:23:49,733 --> 00:23:53,073
All the truth, all I need...
317
00:23:53,073 --> 00:23:57,873
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
318
00:23:57,873 --> 00:24:03,683
The beauty within the shell...
319
00:24:03,683 --> 00:24:06,383
I hear a voice,
320
00:24:06,383 --> 00:24:10,323
hear a voice calling out to me...
321
00:24:10,323 --> 00:24:12,833
I see inside,
322
00:24:12,833 --> 00:24:16,363
see the light now ever holding me...
323
00:24:16,363 --> 00:24:19,703
All the truth, all I need...
324
00:24:19,703 --> 00:24:24,503
