Bloody Monday 81

Chapter 81

71

Specialist: My specialty is virus research...
Specialist: This is outside my area of expertise, so I can't say for sure...

Title: File 81 Remaining Time
Specialist: But these are most likely...
Specialist: symptoms of...
Specialist: being exposed to powerful radiation.

72

Specialist: This man's symptoms are clearly that of a virus...
Specialist: Specifically, of "Bloody-X"...

Specialist: But the other people's symptoms are from exposure to a large amount of radiation.
Specialist: It seems to be a rapid destruction of their mucous membranes and skin.

Kirishima: ...What...!?

Kirishima: Sawakita-san...
Kirishima: Contact a radiation specialist.
Sawakita: I already have.
Sawakita: This is the Public Security Intelligence Agency's First Investigative Unit...

Kirishima: Yajima-san...
Kirishima: Is there any information on an accident at a nuclear power plant in the area of Vladivostok on January 7th?
Yajima: No...there isn't.
Yajima: It used to be that we might not know about it, but, in this day and age, they would definitely announce an accident like that.

73

Minami: If it wasn't an accident...
Minami: terrorism!?

Kirishima: But...if it was terrorism, Russia would have announced it and blamed the terrorist group...
Kirishima: Because of Orihara Maya's connections to the video, we know it's related to the terrorists somehow.

Kirishima: But...why wasn't it announced?

Kirishima: Also...These people were clearly going to die from the radiation.
Kirishima: So why did they go to the effort of bringing in "Bloody-X"?
Minami: So, you're saying that the incident in this video might not have to do with the cult, they just happened to coincide?
Minami: That's too much of a coincidence...

Specialist: Could...
Specialist: this be...
Specialist: a type of camouflage?

Kirishima: ...Doctor!
Kirishima: What did you just say...?
Specialist: Eh?
Specialist: Oh...sorry.
Specialist: It was just an idea that came to me.

74

Specialist: Well...
Specialist: Keep in mind that this is just an idea.

Specialist: What if the terrorists acquired a nuclear weapon and tested it in Russia.
Specialist: In doing so, a lot of civilians were exposed to radiation.

Specialist: And, in order to hide that fact, they spread "Bloody-X" throughout the train they were on...
Specialist: camouflaging it as a virus outbreak...

Specialist: Sorry...I probably don't know what I'm talking about...
Fujimaru: W-wait a second!
Fujimaru: If they set off a nuclear bomb, the CIA and even Japan would know about it...

Kirishima: No...
Kirishima: There is a type of nuclear weapon that causes a small scale explosion that the satellites and seismographs won't be able to detect...
Kirishima: And yet it still creates a lethal dose of radiation within a radius of...
Kirishima: 100 kilometers.
Fujimaru: Eh?
Fujimaru: Wh-what's that?

75

Kirishima: A neutron bomb.

Fujimaru: A neutron...
Fujimaru: bomb?

Kirishima: Neutron bombs were developed because of the competition between Russia and America.
Kirishima: With the latest small-size ones, a small scale explosion from the standard amount of explosives will only destroy the surrounding buildings...
Kirishima: but it will send out a huge amount of neutron radiation in a radius of 100 kilometers. If this was set off in the middle of the city in Japan...
Kirishima: it could kill more than 10 million people.

76

Kanou: I see.
Kanou: Well, how about this theory?
Fujimaru: Kanou-san...

Kanou: The terrorists managed...
Kanou: to get at least 2 super small sized neutron bombs in Russia.

Kanou: They used one of them in the sea near Vladivostok to test their effectiveness.
Kanou: And...
Kanou: at that time, a boat happened to be passing by and was exposed to the radiation.

Yajima: This January...500 people from a denomination of the Russian Orthodox Church with its headquarters in Moscow had an event on a boat...
Yajima: off the coast of Vladivostok.

77

Yajima: Afterwards, the participants...
Yajima: left on the Russian Orthodox Church's Christmas, the 7th...
Yajima: to head back to Moscow on the Siberian Railroad...but...

Yajima: According to the records...
Yajima: they all died in a...
Yajima: railway accident...

Kirishima: That's it!!

Sawakita: The radiation treatment specialist has confirmed it!
Sawakita: After I showed him the video over the internet, he said those were definitely the symptoms of a large amount of neutron radiation.


78

Kirishima: If the Russian government found out about the neutron bomb test, there would be much more than a scare over a murderous virus.
Kirishima: And it would also get harder for them to get the remaining bomb out of the country.

Kirishima: The terrorists spread "Bloody-X" throughout the train heading for Moscow because its symptoms were very similar to the bleeding from the entire body that the radiation victims displayed...
Kirishima: The Russians detected the virus and mistook it for virus terrorism and the terrorists used the time they were dealing with that to get the neutron bomb out of the country...

Kirishima: Once the Russian government realized that a nuclear weapon was taken from their country...they knew the rest of the world would blame them...
Kirishima: and attempted to put an end to it in secret.
Kirishima: But the intelligence agent with the video was killed here in Japan...

79

Fujimaru: ...I won't forgive them.
Fujimaru: This...isn't something a human would do.

Kanou: It's..
Kanou: more like something a demon would do.

Kirishima: Well, the situation is now about something much more serious than "Bloody-X", Fujimaru-kun.

Kirishima: With a virus, we could save people if we healed them within the time limit, like with your friend.
Kirishima: Before there were things like the antivirus or the vaccine that could help.

Kanou: But...
Kanou: with a neutron bomb...
Kanou: it's in an instant.

80

Kanou: It'll...
Kanou: all be over...
Kanou: in an instant.

Fujimaru: ...Damn it.
Fujimaru: Where is it?
Fujimaru: Have they already brought it to Tokyo?

Otoya: I'm...sure they have.

81

Otoya: But...
Otoya: as terrorists, they wouldn't just kill people at random like this.
Otoya: If they have an objective or something they believe is a just cause...
Otoya: we have until "that day'.

Otoya: I won't forgive...
Otoya: those terrorists.

Fujimaru: "Bloody Monday"...

82

Kirishima: What did you say?
Fujimaru: Before my dad disappeared because he was suspected of murder...

Fujimaru: he told me to remember those words.

Fujimaru: I had thought that it referred to the plan to rescue Kamishima Simon using "Bloody-X"...
Fujimaru: but what if it refers to the terror attack using the neutron bomb...?
J: You should be able to find...
J: the "true meaning" of "Bloody Monday".

Kanou: Hey.
Kanou: Why didn't you mention that until now!?
Fujimaru: I didn't know who could be a spy...
Fujimaru: so I ended up not telling anyone...Sorry.

Kirishima: If we're to take those words literally...
Kirishima: it'll happen on a Monday.
Yajima: It's too soon to assume that.

Yajima: There might be some other meaning in those words.

83

Kirishima: Even so, there's a good chance it refers to the plan to use the neutron bomb.
Kirishima: Just in case, we need to get all of the important people of the government out of the capital before next Monday.

Sonoma: No.
Sonoma: We can't do that.

Kirishima: Minister of Justice Kujou and...
Kanou: Chief Sonoma!
Kanou: You're finally back from Russia?

84

Sonoma: I wanted to finish up with my plans and get back here, but the weather was bad...
Sonoma: Sorry for being so late.

Sonoma: From how this conversation has gone, the enemy doesn't know that we've...
Sonoma: discovered the existence of the neutron bomb, correct?

Kirishima: Correct.
Kirishima: They most likely don't.

Sonoma: Then...
Sonoma: right now, that is our only...
Sonoma: advantage over them.

85

Kirishima: And that's why we can't evacuate...

Sonoma: Yes.
Kirishima: But...

Kujou: I agree with him.
Kujou: If we evacuate the important people, the terrorists are sure to notice.
Kirishima: Minister Kujou...

Kujou: If the terrorists are after those important people, we may be safe temporarily...
Kujou: but they would still have the neutron bomb.
Kujou: We would constantly be exposed to the fear of nuclear attack.

Kirishima: But...
Kirishima: if the attack actually occurs...
Kirishima: and we don't evacuate them, our country's entire system will be destroyed.

Kujou: It's the same thing, Kirishima-kun.

86-87

Kujou: Even if the important people survive, the sacrifice of 10 million people will destroy the country...
Kujou: And if we try to evacuate everyone in 5 days, a great panic will destroy Japan's society even if the attack does not occur.

Kujou: And even if we do that, it will just change the target.
Kujou: It won't lower the danger of nuclear terrorism.

Kujou: If they plan on carrying out their plan next Monday...
Kujou: our remaining time is 5 days.

Kujou: In that time, we have no choice but to...
Kujou: find the neutron bomb and capture all the terrorists.

Kujou: During the next 5 days, we will be fighting a battle with our country's life on the line.

88

Kujou: Make sure...
Kujou: you bring about results.

"Third-i": Yes, sir!!

Otoya: Grandfather...
Otoya: No, Minister of Justice Kujou.

Otoya: When Monday comes...
Otoya: are you planning on staying in Tokyo, too?

Fujimaru: O...
Fujimaru: Otoya...?

89

Kujou: Of course.

Announcement: The flight from Moscow, Russia has...

Sasha: I just arrived.
Someone: Okay.
Someone: Then we'll come get you.

90

Sasha: That won't be necessary.
Someone: Why? We're willing to-

Sasha: Because I can't trust you.
