Bloody Monday Season 2 - Pandora's Box 8

Chapter 08

01

Maya: It's been a while, Takagi-kun.

Fujimaru: What did you want with me,
Fujimaru: Orihara Maya!?
Maya: Oh?

Maya: How very cold of you.
Maya: We haven't talked in 2 years.

Fujimaru: You went out of your way to get Otoya's email address in order to contact me.
Fujimaru: What are you planning!?

Maya: My, you really are cold.

02

Small text in the sides of Maya's bubble: Hee hee hee
Maya: Don't you know that unkind guys aren't popular?
Fujimaru: I'm gonna hang up.

Small text in the side of Maya's bubble: Hee hee
Maya: And people grow to hate impatient boys.
Maya: Well, whatever.
Maya: I'll get to the point.

Maya: I...
Maya: just watched the fireworks from in front of the National Diet Building.
Fujimaru: Fireworks?
People: Over there!?
People: Over here! It's the Metropolitan Police Department!
People: There's smoke...

TV: Sorry to interrupt the program, but we have a special report.
TV: There have been a series of explosions in the Metropolitan Police Department.

03

TV: I repeat, there have been a series of explosions in the Metropolitan Police Department.
TV: It is unknown if this was an attack or an accident.
Text in the middle: The rising smoke is the terrorists' signal fire!!
Title: File 8 A New Influence

Kujou: What have you done...?

04

Alexei: Now, Prime Minister Kujou.
Alexei: What do you want me blow to hell next?

Alexei: Or...
Alexei: would you rather we send in the poisonous gas...
Alexei: we've set up to replace the town's gas supply?

Kujou: Hino Alexei...
Kujou: Stop this!! No more disasters.
Alexei: If you want us to stop...
Alexei: you need only give in to our demand, Prime Minister Kujou.

Alexei: It's isn't much of a demand.
Alexei: Compared to tens of thousands of lives, it's quite a simple thing.
Kujou: Name your demand.

Alexei: I want you to release criminals...
Alexei: who are currently imprisoned.
Ryuunosuke: Here he goes!!

05

Ryuunosuke: This is what I've been waiting for.
Ryuunosuke: Hino really doesn't know the location of the "Third Emperor"...!!

Ryuunosuke: All he knows...
Ryuunosuke: is "someone" who holds the key!!

Kujou: So...
Kujou: you want some of your comrades released.
Alexei: Hm?
Alexei: Oh, they're not my comrades.

Kujou: Tell me.
Kujou: Who do you want released?
Alexei: You're jumping to conclusions, Prime Minister.
Alexei: I don't want you to release a few particular people.

06

Alexei: I want you to release all of the about 250 prisoners in the Sodegaura prison.
Alexei: The people there are only first time offender sneak-thieves or, at most, robbers.

Alexei: That's...
Alexei: not a problem, right?

Ryuunosuke: All...of them!?
Ryuunosuke: Damn....!!
Ryuunosuke: He's not letting us figure out who his target is!!

Ryuunosuke: If only Hino knows who this person is, is he planning on making contact personally...? Should I try to catch him doing that!?
Ryuunosuke: Or should I let him guide me all the way to the "Third Emperor"...?

07

Kujou: Don't be ridiculous.
Kujou: There's no way I can release 250 criminals.
Alexei: You should already know that you don't have a choice about this.

Alexei: Next I'll blow up the Diet building.

Alexei: The next victims will be a great number of politicians.

Kujou: Stop this, Hino!!
Alexei: Perhaps it's because you already made me wait 8 years...
Alexei: but I'm sick of waiting.

Alexei: You have...
Alexei: 10 seconds to decide.
Alexei: You need to release all 250 of them and give them enough money to survive.

08

Alexei: 1
Alexei: 2
Alexei: 3

Alexei: 4
Alexei: 5
Alexei: 6
Guy: Prime Minister...

Alexei: 7
Alexei: 8...9
Kujou: Wait!!

Alexei: Fine.
Alexei: I accept your demands.
Guy: Prime Minister...
Alexei: You're a sensible person, Prime Minister Kujou.
Alexei: A big difference from 8 years ago.

Alexei: 5 minutes.
Alexei: If their release hasn't begun in 5 minutes, there'll be a gas explosion in the city area.

09

Alexei: And just so you know, don't try to trick us.
Alexei: We have an "observer" in place.

Kujou: 5 minutes?

Alexei: Yes.
Alexei: Have fun.

SFX: *click*
SFX: Doo...
SFX: Doo...
SFX: Doo...

Kujou: Tajiri.
Kujou: Get everyone out of the Diet building as calmly and quickly as possible!
Tajiri: Y-yes, sir.

10

Kujou: And contact the Ministry of Justice immediately.
Kujou: Have them give money to and release all the prisoners in Sodegaura prison within 4 minutes.

Guy: Eh!?
Guy: That's crazy!!
Guy2: What do we do about getting approval...?
Kujou: Just do it!!

Kujou: I officially declare this a state of emergency!!

11

TV: Matsura!
TV: Are you set up?
TV: Yes! I'm in front of the Diet building.
TV: I can see the black smoke rising even from here...

Otoya: ...Kirishima-san.
Otoya: Orihara Maya says she's at the Diet building.
Kirishima: At the Diet building!?

12

Announcement: Emergency report.
Announcement: There have been a series of explosions in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Kirishima: Prime Minister Kujou and his cabinet minister choices are supposed to all be there.
Kirishima: Could that woman be...!?
Announcement: The number of casualties is unknown and it's possible it was a terrorist attack.
Announcement: Everyone to your posts immediately...
Otoya: Yes.
Otoya: You need to immediately gather the police and SPs to increase the guard and to search for her.
Otoya: When you find her, capture her!!

Fujimaru: What they're showing on TV.
Fujimaru: Did you do that...?
SFX: *type*
SFX: *type*
Maya: No.
Maya: Don't worry, my goal isn't terrorism.

Maya: In fact, I'm trying to defend against it.
Fujimaru: Like I can believe that!!

13

Maya: After what happened 2 years ago...
Maya: I can't blame you.
Maya: Okay...I'll give you a freebie.

Maya: The international terrorist organization that caused the explosion is called the "Shooter of the Magic Bullet".
Maya: According to my source of information, they hacked into the gas company's system to control the pressure...
Maya: and they're somehow making the gas spew out in specific locations to cause the explosions.

Fujimaru: No way...
Fujimaru: They couldn't do that.
Fujimaru: Maybe they could hack into the system...
Fujimaru: but to make the gas come out where they wanted?
Maya: You couldn't do it?

Fujimaru: Wait a second.
Fujimaru: I heard that they had begun experimentally installing completely controllable gas meters into their network of public facilities...
Fujimaru: so the gas could be turned off remotely.

14

Maya: That's probably what it is.
Maya: Have you heard about the string of poison gas killings in the area?

Maya: What if...
Maya: those were experiments of theirs...?

Fujimaru: I'm hacking into the gas company...
Fujimaru: Where were the experimental systems put in...?

Fujimaru: Here it is...

15

Fujimaru: The three incidents all occurred at newly constructed apartment buildings...
Fujimaru: Those three incidents...
Fujimaru: and this explosion were all the "Shooter of the Magic Bullet"...!!

Maya: One more thing...
Maya: They managed to cause a huge gas explosion in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Maya: Even though with that many people...
Maya: someone would normally have noticed the smell of the gas leaking out.

Maya: And in the test cases, a poison gas was mixed with the city's gas.

Maya: Do you understand...
Maya: what that means, Takagi-kun?
Fujimaru: N-no.
Fujimaru: It seems strange, but...

16

Maya: Too bad.
Maya: So...
Maya: What about Kujou-kun?

Maya: He's listening in, right?

Otoya: It didn't have...
Otoya: the odorant in it.
Maya: That's the rich boy at Toudai U for you.
Maya: That's right.

Maya: The city's gas doesn't naturally have an odor.
Maya: So they put in two bad smelling yet harmless components...
Maya: tertiary butylmercaptan and cyclohexene to make a gas leak easily noticeable.

Maya: They used that...
Maya: to mix in poison gas from a compressed gas cylinder they put somewhere.

17

Maya: When a place is filled with odorless gas, the odds of a huge gas explosion occurring...
Maya: are very high.

Otoya: The odorless city gas is like an invisible bomb.
Otoya: If they can use it at will...

Fujimaru: Shit!!

18

Fujimaru: This is bad!
Fujimaru: It isn't just the police department...they've been installed in the majority of the public facilities in Kantou.
Fujimaru: The police stations, the city halls, the government administration offices, the hospitals... They're tons of them.
Fujimaru: If they went after all of them...

Maya: There would be tens of thousands of victims.
Fujimaru: ...Damn it!!

Otoya: Kirishima-san.
Otoya: It seems the enemy has hacked into the gas supply.
Otoya: You need to cut off the supply and shut down the system!
Kirishima: I'll make an administrative order.

Kirishima: It may be too late...
Kirishima: but it's better than not trying.

Maya: Well? Are you ready to trust me a little?
Fujimaru: Don't screw with me!

Fujimaru: Why should I trust you because of that!?
Fujimaru: Have you forgotten what you did 2 years ago!?

19

Maya: Heh heh heh.
Maya: Of course I remember.
Maya: But it was my job.
Maya: I didn't have a choice.

Maya: Didn't your cute little sister tell you?

Maya: I didn't do that because it was my idea.
Maya: I'm a freelance spy. Everything I do is for money.

Fujimaru: Why did you give me that information?
Fujimaru: what do you want from me!?
Maya: It was at the request of my current client.
Maya: This client happens to be opposed to the "Shooter of the Magic Bullet".
Maya: Do you understand now?

Fujimaru: For now, I guess...
Fujimaru: But that doesn't mean I trust you.
Text right of Maya's bubble: Hee hee
Maya: Well, that's good enough for now.
Maya: Takagi Fujimaru-kun.

20

Fujimaru: Damn it. What are you planning, Orihara Maya!!
Fujimaru: There's no way she gave us that beneficial information without it benefiting her in some way...!!

Maya: Do you best,
Maya: "Falcon".
