Man: We did come out here in the sub on a request...
SFX: Bah bah
Man: but that's all!!

Makimura: What are you saying...?

Man: Like I said!!
Man: We came out here because we were paid the normal amount to bring out the sub just without any passengers onboard!!
Man: The only people onboard are me and my assistant.
Man: It's just us two!!

05

Makimura: Orihara Maya's...
Makimura: not onboard!??

Hagiwara: Ridiculous...!!

11

SFX: Vrrrrrr

Alexei: Peter Pan,
Alexei: can you hear me?
Peter: Yes, Arthur.

Alexei: It's time to show off your skills.
Alexei: You need to be in control of the systems of every gas company in Kantou...
Alexei: and at the same time...

12

Alexei: take control of...
Alexei: the control system for "Future".

Peter: Other than the spare sub systems, I have complete control of the gas systems.
Peter: The gas supply hasn't been reopened yet.
SFX: Caw caw

Peter: And...
Peter: I've gotten into "Future" plenty of times just to check things out there.

13

Alexei: How reliable.
Alexei: Then...
SFX: Brake
Alexei: we'll be breaking in physically.

Alexei: If this plan succeeds, this country will be one of what are the most high-risk areas in the world,
Alexei: a disputed region.

14

Kirishima: Have we received a signal from the fixed-time transmitter Section Chief Takagi left behind!?
Tsukamoto: It hasn't transmitted yet.

Tsukamoto: It should transmit in about...3 minutes.
SFX: Glance
Kirishima: I see...

Kirishima: The expected time for the dismantling of the "Third Emperor" to be complete is coming up soon too.

Kirishima: ...Have you tracked down Orihara Maya yet?
Tsukamoto: Not yet.

Kaidou: But...how was she planning on getting away?
Kaidou: If both the Key Tool and the sub were dummies...
Kaidou: it was impossible for her to escape the nuclear explosion in time.

15

Kirishima: There are only 2 things I can think of...
Kirishima: Either Orihara herself was fooled and she didn't know the Key Tool was a fake...
Kirishima: Or...

SFX in text bubble: Kshh
Man: This is the bomb squad in the underground tunnels!
Man: We've finished dismantling the "Third Emperor"!

Kaidou: Good job.
Kaidou: Bomb squad! There's one thing I want to ask y-

Man: What the hell!?
Man: This is just a normal bomb!

16

Man: This couldn't create a nuclear explosion...
Man: The crucial nuclear material is missing.

Man: The Plutonium-239...
Man: that should be inside has been taken out.

Hagiwara: The "Shooter of the Magic Bullet" wasn't after the nuclear bomb itself;
Hagiwara: They were after the plutonium inside!!?

Kirishima: I was right...!!

17

Hagiwara: What...
Hagiwara: are they planning on using the plutonium for...!?
SFX: Beeeep

Tsukamoto: Here it is!
Tsukamoto: We have the signal from Section Chief Takagi's transmitter!!
Hagiwara: Where are they!?

Tsukamoto: This is...!!!

18-19

Tsukamoto: They're at...
Tsukamoto: the nearest nuclear power plant to the capital,
Tsukamoto: the fast-breed reactor experimental power facility "Future"!!
