Title: File 40 Prepared to Die

Someone: The target is escaping!!
Someone: It's a 5 ton truck made by the Bar Company.
Someone: They have guns, so use caution...

People: Waah...
People: It hurts...it hurts...
People: Ee
People: *sob*
People: Waah...

Fujimaru: Gah...
Fujimaru: *cough*
Fujimaru: Ow

Fujimaru: Ah...
Fujimaru: Damn...it...

148

J: Don't think we're equal.

J: See ya, Takagi Fujimaru-kun.

Fujimaru: ...Damn it...!!

149

Takahashi: It's dangerous. Stay back!!
Otoya: Let go of me!
Otoya: Didn't they just inform you over the radio that the virus was a fake!!

Otoya: So there's no problem with me going over to my friend!!
Takahashi: That's not the issue here...

Otoya: Fujimaru.
Fujimaru: ...Otoya..!!

Takahashi: Ah...!
Otoya: Fujimaru!
Otoya: Are you okay?

Takahashi: This is Takahashi.
Takahashi: Yes, I've confirmed Takagi Fujimaru's safety.
Takahashi: ...Yes.
Takahashi: ...Yes.
Otoya: Can you stand?
Fujimaru: ...Ow.
Fujimaru: Yeah...somehow...

150

Fujimaru: But wait! What about you!
Fujimaru: I heard you were shot...
Otoya: Calm down.
Fujimaru: That's right! And Kanou-san!!
Otoya: Kanou-san and I were shot with rubber bullets.

Fujimaru: Rubber...
Fujimaru: bullets...?
Fujimaru: So that's it...Thank god...

Otoya: I've survived through luck alone...
Otoya: for a second time.

Otoya: And you...While I wouldn't say you're unharmed...
Otoya: you seem fine.
Text below Fujimaru's hand: It doesn't seem to be broken.
Fujimaru: The virus was a fake...
Fujimaru: But...

Fujimaru: There were...
Fujimaru: a lot of victims.
Fujimaru: And they got away.

151

Fujimaru: Once again...
Fujimaru: ...I...

Otoya: ...Fujimaru...

Takahashi: Takagi Fujimaru-kun.
Takahashi: It's from Kirishima-san.

Fujimaru: This is Takagi.
Kirishima: It's Kirishima.
Kirishima: I'm glad you're okay.
Fujimaru: Yeah...it looks like the virus was just a bluff.
Fujimaru: The women who vomited blood were part of their group.

Kirishima: So it seems.
Kirishima: I've heard the report.
Fujimaru: Sorry...I...

Kirishima: You don't need to worry about that.
Kirishima: We're the ones at fault for this failure...Preventing terrorism is our job.
Fujimaru: But...

152

Kirishima: Your abilities...
Kirishima: have helped us...

Kirishima: And I'm sure we'll need them in the future.
Kirishima: We'll give you a bodyguard of course.

Kirishima: But you need to be prepared.
Kirishima: Fujimaru-kun, you're a part of this.
Kirishima: We can't treat you like a normal person.
Kirishima: If something happens near you from now on...

Kirishima: In order to prevent a terrorist attack...
Kirishima: I can't promise...
Kirishima: that we'll protect you.

Fujimaru: ...Okay.
Fujimaru: I understand.
Kirishima: ...Sorry.

Kirishima: By the way...Fujimaru-kun.
Kirishima: About the "Christmas Massacre" file...

153

Fujimaru: That's right...you need to hurry and...
Fujimaru: protect the chip with the original file on it!!
Fujimaru: They were after that!

Fujimaru: I...had no choice to do what they said and deleted the file that was in "Third-i"'s secret archive.
Fujimaru: But...if you have the original...
Kirishima: It's okay.

Kirishima: At that time...
Kirishima: you dared to say that in order to inform us...
Kirishima: of this as quickly as possible, right?

Kirishima: Don't worry.
Kirishima: We already have people heading to ensure its safety.

Fujimaru: ...Thank goodness...

Kirishima: For now you should go out and get treated.
Kirishima: I'll inform the emergency rescue team.
Fujimaru: No...
Fujimaru: I'm not injured that badly.

Fujimaru: The people who got...
Fujimaru: wrapped up in this should go first...

154

Fujimaru: This is...horrible...

Fujimaru: How...
Fujimaru: How can they do this...?

Fujimaru: These people had nothing to do with any of this...!!!

155

Otoya: You won't be able to understand what they're thinking.
Otoya: It's how terrorists think.

Fujimaru: Otoya!!
Fujimaru: What about Houshou-san? What happened to her!?

Fujimaru: If I'd...
Fujimaru: shot her then...
Fujimaru: none of this...none of this would've...

Minami: She's dead.

Minami: She took your sister, Takagi Haruka, hostage and tried to run.
Minami: And she was shot by the snipers.

156

Minami: I'm Minami of "Third-i".
Minami: I'll be your guard from here on.

Maria: Nice to meet you, Takagi Fujimaru.
Fujimaru: Nice to...meet you...

SFX: Vvvv
SFX: Vvvv

Otoya: It's from Asada...
SFX: Vvvv
On phone: Asada Aoi [Incoming Call]
SFX: Vvvv
Fujimaru: It couldn't be...did something happen to my dad...!?

K: You left Falcon there?

157

J: Yeah.
J: Aren't our odds better that way?
J: If we let him go free, it'll help us with the "Shikimura File" as well...right?

J: You don't want to act until there are no risks to our plan left, right? So...

J: Huh?
J: Should I not have done that?
K: Understood.

K: I said I'd leave it to you...
K: so I'll trust your judgment.

158

J: Trust...
J: huh?
J: Heh...

J: Maya.
Maya: Yes?

J: So you can do it after all.
J: The judgment to yell, "It's a virus!!" to incite a panic...
J: That was quite good.
Text right of J: Hee
Text left of J: Hee hee

Maya: It looks like I've lost a lot of trust...
Maya: I guess it can't be helped since I keep failing....

159

Maya: The others knew about this plan...
Maya: But I'm the only one who didn't know the details...

Maya: So I was...
Maya: being tested.

Maya: So...how'd I do?
Maya: Did I pass?
Maya: Or...

J: So...
J: about what...

J: we'll do next.

160

Maya: Yes...

Kirishima: Kanou-san, this is Kirishima!
Kirishima: Can you hear me? You can hear me, right!?

Kirishima: What are you trying to do!?
Kirishima: Please respond!!

161

Kanou: Ah...
Kanou: I can hear you, but I'm a bit busy so I'll get back to you later.
Kirishima: This is crazy. Pursuing them like that, and alone!?
Kirishima: What are you thinking!? And when did you get there!?

Kanou: When the truck came to a sudden stop in front of the restaurant.
Kanou: It only took a moment.

Kanou: And I was right, wasn't I?
Kanou: Being two steps ahead is the sign of a pro.

Kirishima: Don't be ridiculous!!
Kirishima: This the exact opposite of what a pro would do!!

Kirishima: Kanou-san...I know what you're trying to do.

Kirishima: You plan on taking revenge, don't you?
Kirishima: I...still think of her as a comrade, too...
Kirishima: But no matter the reason, the truth is...

162

Kirishima: She...
Kanou: Huh?
Kanou: It's really loud here, so I can't hear you.

Kirishima: I'm telling you not to say that a pro would act out on a personal grudge!!!

Kirishima: The terrorists will likely change vehicles soon.
Kirishima: Don't be hasty, okay?
Kirishima: It's foolish to think you can finish things there.

Kirishima: Wait for proper support.
Kanou: Ah...I really can't hear a thing.
Kanou: The battery's dying, so I'm cutting it off.

Kirishima: What are you saying...?

163

Kirishima: Damn it!!
Kirishima: He really...
Kirishima: turned it off....!!!

Kirishima: Our priority is to stop the terrorists...
Kirishima: But...

Kirishima: I don't want to...
Kirishima: sacrifice any more of my comrades...!!!

Kirishima: Don't do anything unreasonable.
Kirishima: Kanou-san...!!

164-165

Kanou: Sorry...Kirishima...!!

166

Houshou: ...I can't.

Houshou: At this point there's nowhere for me...
Houshou: to go back to.
Kanou: What were you...
Kanou: talking about...?

Kanou: That wasn't true!
Kanou: That wasn't true at all...
Kanou: Damn it.
