Please watch your step, Mr. President.
Freeze! !
Hands up and turn around! !
Shoot him! !
Hey!
Isn't this the Library?
No, it isn't...!
Blockheads.
Oh well...then I'll go on foot.
What are you?!
I-Jin.

Wake up! Up! Up! Up!
Hello...
This is Readman.
Yes, Yomiko Readman...
Yes, I am.
Yes!
Destruction - Washington DC
Yes, I'm totally free!
Yes, that's fine.
You can count on me!
Just a moment please.
Clean up! Up! Up! Up!
Yes, go ahead.
Yes...
Yes!
Yes, the twelfth, next week.
Substitute teacher for maternity leave, Bunkyou-High. OK, the week after.
Not at all, thank you! Thank you very much!
I did it!

"Our most important customer. If you see her, say hello to her!"
TOTO BOOKS
Immortal Beloved-In German.
Wait, don't take that.
Why?
I was going to buy that book.
But I'm the one who picked it up.
So, well then.
Can I get this?
3500 Yen.
Ah...I'm sorry, but could I pay at the end of the month?
Immortal Beloved...
What? What is this?!
Bugs? What is this?!
I'll take that book!
Unmistakable.
What happened?
Please give my book back!
I just started reading that!
Give it back!
Am I too late!?
Yomiko!
Joker??
Yomiko! Why are you here?
You too Joker!? Why are you here??
I see. It was you.
What in the world was that?
I'll explain later.
Yomiko...I mean, The Paper, come with me.
Let me borrow that for a moment.
I haven't read it yet!
I'll return it after it's analyzed.
What is it really? Geez!
The world is in danger.
Hi, Joker. That was fast.
Paul.
Please take a look at this immediately.
OK.
You shine brightest when surrounded by books.
Do...do I?
But, evidently you need improvement in all other areas.
Gentleman is waiting for you.
Mr. Gentleman, I've brought The Paper.
Yomiko, eh?
It's been a long time.
You grew up.
Please allow me to bring you up to speed.
Very well...
Well then.
Two days ago...
a mystery man appeared in Washington DC.
He caused tremendous damage...
eventually attacking the United States Library of Congress.
He stole six hundred manuscripts and disappeared.
Manuscripts?
Yes.
We have received a formal request from the US Library of Congress.
It's for capturing the offender and returning the manuscripts.
However, this case has bizarre elements.
Concerning this footage of the mystery man...
In other words...It's about this...
The Elekiter, made by a Japanese inventor named Gennai Hiraga.
Which is to say...
there's the possibility that the mystery man is Hiraga Gennai.
But Hiraga Gennai died years ago.
Precisely...
A year ago, stem-cell samples of I-jin were stolen...
from the Department of Dominant Gene Conservation.
Hiraga Gennai's name is on this list of stolen DNA.
Someone may have used this DNA to bring Gennai back to life...
with dreadful special abilities.
For what purpose?
Unknown.
The entry in the grasshopper guy's note book...
corresponds to Fabre's ''Book of insects''.
That man is a clone of Jean-Henri Fabre.
Why did Fabre attack me?
You were not his target, the book was.
This is the first of two books.
The second book was among the stolen manuscripts.
Gentleman, someone has concocted an evil plot utilizing I-jin DNA.
Please devise an official operation to settle this business.
All right.
Thank you very much.
Now, the British Library Special Engineer Force...
shall commence ''Operation Manuscript Retrieval.''
Excuse me, am I part of this, too?
Of course you are.
I...I have a substitute-teaching job...
as a maternity leave replacement starting next week.
Which do you think is more important? World peace or maternity leave?
But...but, even if the world was at peace, without a job, I wouldn't be happy at all!
We'll pay for your services.
It's not enough!
I've been buying so many books this month.
Oh, and I have an unpaid balance on that book, also!
You haven't changed.
You're impetuous as usual.
OK, I'll give you the second volume of that stolen book as an extra reward.
Oh, Really?
Yes.
I...I'll try my best!
Are you sure about that?
I can fake it.
What is it?
The book...
Analysis first.
Gentleman.
I would like to have a support staff and one more agent.
Very well.
Drake Anderson speaking.
Now listen here! I picked a paper fortune this morning!
It said ''Great Fortune''. You know, that's big time lucky!
But half way through the day...
stupid Joker called me and told me to support you!
If ''Great Fortune'' gives me a day like this...
what kind of disaster would it have been if I picked a bad fortune?
Ah...Drake!
It's a mission! Get down!
Yeah...yes!
Mister Anderson, over here.
Poor thing...
What's wrong?
The damage to this wall is odd.
There's no residue of any explosive or fire damage either.
Has the other agent arrived?
I don't know.
And?
Yes.
What should I do now?
Just don't bother anybody.
Go to a corner to sit and daydream or something.
What do you mean?
This room appears to have become a microwave.
Is it an Optical weapon?
Corner...corner...
Von Arnim's ''Letters to the Assembly''!
This one is Pincinelli's ''Mundus Symbolicus''!
''Gustav Flaubert'' is just sitting here.
You're...!
We meet again, The Paper.
Then, it's you!
I'm Miss Deep.
Deep?
I've been hearing rumors about you.
Though I was not expecting to see you in Tokyo.
So you're after this book, too?
It was an order from Joker. But I didn't think you were The Paper.
I'm Yomiko, Yomiko Readman.
I see.
What's your name?
I told you, I'm Miss Deep.
Your real name?
Are there any agents that give their real names at a first meeting?
Yeah...
Your awareness is insufficient.
But, won't we get along better calling each other by name?
We pair up for the mission. Codenames are enough.
I see...
Well, nice to meet you for now.
Yes!
Huh?
This is my power.
I can dive deeply into substances and pass through them.
That's why I am Deep.
You leave yourself wide open. The Paper is no big threat.
I'm sorry...I was...
My glasses are...
So you do have some skills.
Huh?
I am Otto Lilienthal!
I'll take that book!
What?!
A bullet can't kill the wind!
You can never kill the wind!
What a bad day...
Drake!
He took the book!
Huh?
I'll go after him!
The enemy was one of the I-jin, report it!
Who is this?
Oh, my partner...
Miss Deep.
What's your fortune today?
Huh?
Malone from the FBI. Connect me to the Pentagon.
Come in.
I brought the data.
I-jin have been spotted!
This one's name is ''Otto Lilienthal''.
Who is that?
He was called, ''the Aerial King of Germany''.
Mister Gentleman?!
An obscure genius during the glider generation.
That genius is heading to New York.
At phenomenal speed!
Echo 1, 2, 3. We spotted the target, an unidentified flying object.
Shoot him down!
They're flying such pedestrian crafts.
Still one left, eh?
Echo 1,2 and 3 shot down.
The US army is having a hard time.
You can't fight him conventionally.
My book...
All units converge on target.
All units, prepare for battle! Fire as soon as you have a visual.
A Samurai?!
All...destroyed!
Bail out!
What can we do? We can't catch him on foot.
I know. But there must be some way...
There is a way!
You're going after him in that? Seriously?
Unbelievable...
Hurry!
Take this.
I've never had a mission like this.
Don't blame me if you fall off!
I'll blame you!
Three...
Two...
One...
Fire! !
That woman is misfortune.
Hey!? What's going on!
Sorry! I forgot the tail assembly!
Successful takeoff!
I thought it was falling.
It's about time to go back...mm?
Please give my book back!
Land slowly, now!
Don't underestimate me!
I'll show you why I was called, ''The Aerial King''!
Flying in that thing! How shameless!
This is ridiculous!
He's up to something!
Spin! Spin! !
Crash! !
Hold on!
This sucks!
I am not happy!
Ms. Deep! I'm changing tactics!
Ok, I'm going.
Please!
Fall! Fall!
Eat some dust!
You...!
Witch! !
If you're a witch you should fly with a broom.
What?!
My book. Please give it back!
Give it back to me!
You...! !
Paper...
The book...
Die! Die!
Your sky comes to a dead end here.
Die! !
The book!
You're an idiot, aren't you?
Don't you ever think about the consequences?
Is that book more important than your life?
But at least you're not a useless idiot, after all.
Thank you very much Miss Dee...
Nancy, Nancy Makuhari.
Eh? But...
It's fine now. To be honest, I hate that codename.
It's not cute at all.
I'm Yomiko, Yomiko Readman.
I heard that before.
He was a blockhead, even on the verge of death.
Oh well, let's report back.
Those are the images we received eighteen hours ago.
After that, the surveillance satellite was destroyed.
The cause is unknown.
Is he I-jin also? Who is he?
We are checking but unable to identify yet.
There're many things ''unknown''.
The stolen books have already been found on the market in India.
The Paper, Miss Deep...
contact the dealer ''Jahaal'' and search for any traces of the I-jin.
OK!
When you come into direct contact with the I-jin...
please capture them alive.
OK! OK!

Come in.
I brought results from the ''Immortal Beloved'' sheet analysis.
Thank you...
Pardon me.
What is this?
This is a piece of Lilienthal's engine we found in New York.
Is it from a manufacturer called ''Stephen''?
We're checking now.
The company doesn't exist in the UK or the USA.
I'm...I'm sorry!
It's fine.
Miss Wendy...
Yes?
I've got homework for you.
Be calm...love me... today...yesterday...
Such tearful longing for you...
You...you're my life!
Oh, continue to love me!
That's what it says...in the margin.
So what about it?
It's just a scribble, isn't it?
But I think I've heard this somewhere before.
This book looks dirty.
Yeah, it's old.
The bookmark will get dirty eventually.
It's a waste since it's a cute bookmark.
You think this bookmark...is cute?
Huh?
Yeah, I think so.
This is a present for you.
Oh, thank you.
I give these away to my close friends.
And you're a very important friend to me.
Thanks...I'll cherish it.
Just holding it brings you health.
And if you place it in a romance novel, you increase your luck in love.
I don't read that kind of novel.
I'd rather love for real than read about it.
Well, that's true.
But real romance doesn't go smoothly like a novel.
Nancy?
How about you? Which do you prefer...
a true love that doesn't go well, or a happy love that's fictitious?
Sorry I asked such a silly question.
I'm going to get some rest.
If I weren't on a mission, I could get a sari for Maggie.
We're almost there.
Good!
Let's get ready to surface.
I came up with an answer to that question.
I think real romance is wonderful.
I mean, you might suffer but..
no matter what kind of romance, you're always the main character.
Don't speak of silly fairytales. This is a mission.
Focus on the mission.
Yes...
OK, go get him.
Nancy Makuhari. Twenty-six years old.
Her birthplace is Japan.
After graduating Cambridge University, she joined Scotland Yard.
After a year she was recruited...
as a member of the British Library Special Engineer Force.
No violations or delinquency.
Well, I don't see anything suspicious about her.
Isn't this too much worry?
Squeeky clean is sometimes more dubious than soiled.
Try again.
Investigate deeper and wider, and use dirty tricks this time.
Y...Yes...
Yes, Joker speaking.
We're at Jahaal's store.
All right.
Then, please start the legwork. I'm counting on you.
Because I trust you.
Mister Jahaal...
I wonder if he's out?
We're going in.
It smells like something's burning.
Please search inside the store.
Roger.
Hello...we're looking around.
If you don't answer, we'll look around even more.
The mission comes first, The Paper.
Understood...
Mr. Jahaal...please come out.
What's this?
A bug?
What's going on?
It's an I-jin!
My name is Genjo! Saiten Genjo Sanzo Houshi!
Genjo! That name, look it up!
Did you come to get this book as well!?
Indeed.
I came here once to retrieve the Sutra.
However, now I only want the book.
I mastered Buddhism, so those tricks won't work on me.
So give up this hopeless battle!
Go on without me.
Nancy!
Quickly!
Move, woman!
Here's the result of the Genjo search.
Here is the information on the enemy.
Genjo is a high priest from the 7th century.
He traveled to India, and brought back the Buddhist scripture.
The model of the novel ''Saiyuki'' or ''The Monkey King''.
I read that when I was four.
That ''Saiyuki'' is pure fiction.
But now he has the extentable bar ''Nyoibo'' and the ability to breath fire.
For now, please retreat to the sub.
Yes, but I'm worryed about Nancy.
You should worry about yourself.
Nancy!
I'll take that book. No matter what!
It's a Kintoen!
You should be able to see them pretty soon.
I can already see them.
Stop!
This way!
Let us through!
Sorry to bother you!
Dammit!
Not enough steam?!
Huh?
Zoom in please.
That's steam as well.
Hurry!
I won't let you escape!
It won't work twice!
Nancy!
Give me that book!
Got it!
What's wrong?! You're just defending! How worthless!
The Paper!
Yes?
Lead him twenty meters forward.
We'll fire directly from the sub!
Yes!
Which tube is available for launch?
Only number four is available!
OK, time - three seconds! Distance - fifty meters!
Flood tube number four!
Seven more meters.
He's holding steady, seven meters off.
How bothersome!
I won't let you get away!
He's moving!
Five meters!
Four...
Three...
Two...
One...
Fire!
Yes!
Target on radar.
He's alive!
Unforgivable!
I'll kill you later. Just wait there.
Please run, Nancy. You can make it...
Don't say such things. It just makes it harder to run.
I'm sorry...But...
I guess we have no choice.
This may hurt a bit, but...
I'll overcome that Nyoibo staff.
So you attack while I distract him.
Yes.
Come out! The Paper!
There you are!
I've got you!
Woman!
You!
The Paper!
Yes!
Nancy!
Are you OK?
It's nothing.
But...
The book!
The book?!
The book!
Nancy!
I've got it.
I win!
The Paper!
Got it!
The book! The book!
Give back my Nyoibo! And we'll finish this showdown.
Well done.
Hurry up!
N...Nancy...I thought you might never wake up.
Two days straight...
I slept for that long?
Then you were...?
I'm...really glad!
I'm sorry.
They got the book because of me.
Don't worry.
We can look for the book again.
But you're the only one of you in the world.
I'm going to rest for a minute.
Good night...
What's the analysis of the symbols in the margin?
We're not able to get results by numbers.
We're programming the musical notes with multiple combinations.
Please let me know when you get the results.
Yes.
Ah, and, is Elias there?
Just a moment please.
So that's it!
What's up, Joker?
Sorry, I'll call you right back.
'' Today! Yesterday! What tearful longing for you!''
This is Beethoven.
This is the letter to his ''Immortal Beloved''...
which was discovered among correspondences left by the departed.
It correlates to the book's scribbles.
I see.
When the handwriting is identified...
we'll be able to conclude it was a book from Beethoven.
But why do they want Beethoven's book?
I don't know yet.
But I'll plan a new operation as soon as The Paper and her crew get back.
Drake, did you see a new case in here?
I don't know.
It was outside.
Oh...Sorry.
Are you OK now?
Of course. Who do you think I am?
Thank you very much.
And the ninth inning is about to begin.
The number of runs they need is one.
The leadoff batter is...
Hey!
This is...Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
''Ode to Joy''...
Who is doing this?
There's a mysterious radio disturbance...
on all domestic military installations in the US.
The source of dispatch is in the Pacific Ocean.
Off the coast of Hawaii...
Hey, can you hear me?
I am Ikkyuu.
I am the leader of this group.
So many people died in our generation... Record this!
So many people died in our generation... Yes we are!
because of starvation, wars and things, but...
now, there are so many people here. I-jin corps.
now, there are so many people here.
Well done.
My book!
But you know, there's just a few too many now.
This world around us...
can actually be taken care of with only a few people.
Did you reach The Paper?
If the people are as great as we are...
We can't, the signal is too strong.
We can make a more complete world than this one.
Let me through, please! It's urgent!
This is parroting someone's idea, though.
Now, it's time for intellect.
How can you eliminate the useless people effectively?
Biochemical weapons are hard to clean up after.
Atomic weapons blow everything away.
And so, I found a good plan.
Would you like to know?
Well, no need to feel rushed.
You'll know soon enough, even if you don't want to.
Joker!
You'll know soon enough, even if you don't want to.
But by the time you realize, you'll be in the afterlife. Joker! Nancy Makuhari was pronounced dead back in college!
But don't worry. Joker! Nancy Makuhari was pronounced dead back in college!
We'll stay behind to make a much better world. Joker! Nancy Makuhari was pronounced dead back in college!
We'll stay behind to make a much better world.
Yes, we, the ones who are left.
It's about time you came back too, Nancy.
I mean...
Mata Hari.
Capture her!
Please, wait!
Nancy...
You're too trusting, The Paper
I said capture her, Drake.
Surrender! You can't to escape!
Who do you think I am?
Good bye, The Paper.
Nancy!
Well done.
It's not true...it can't be...
Joker.
Right here.
We are suspending ''Operation Manuscript Retrieval.''
All of you will now commence, ''Operation Exterminate I-Jin Corps.''
You'll have unlimited access to Land Service, Navy and Air Force.
In case of foreign interference, I give you permission to use my name.
Can you do it?
Of course.
British Library Special Engineer Force...
suspend ''Operation Manuscript Retrieval,'' immediatly.
As of now, we begin ''Operation Exterminate I-Jin Corps''!
I want all department heads to meet in five minutes.
Put the system on standby, Level-B.
Request emergency assembly of all off-duty agents, as well.
And one more thing...
Get me a cup of hot tea.
Yes! Please leave it to me!
Fort detected, at 2 o'clock.
Distance 3,000.
That's the I-jin Fortress.
I-Jin Fortress is heading for the south pacific at ten knots.
The US Navy's Seventh fleet is maintaining distance of 7,000...
in executive state, stand down.
We have the United Nations' approval.
Operation satellites are calibrated accurately.
Please reconfirm System G!
No reply from North Korea yet. Ah, It's coming now.
For the meantime, I'll hold off the USA.
But don't do anything embarrassing.
For the sake of the British Empire
Due to steam interference...
investigation of the I-jin Fortress has been proceeding with difficulty.
At present, the model of the fortress is only 4% complete.
Fine weather for fifty square kilometers.
This is Mother Goose.
We'll reach our destination in one minute.
Roger.
Keep a safe distance and transfer image data of the outside wall.
Rear support force, at standby Level A.
I could hold off aggression from major nations.
System G, Synchronization100%. Communication system is secure.
Communication, meteorology, public relations, analysis...
medical attention, and prospect.
All sections are prepared.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Well then, from this moment...
we commence ''Operation Exterminate I-Jin Corps.''

The Paper, Drake.
As soon as the model of the I-Jin fortress is complete...
the two of you will commence infiltration.
Yes, I am prepared.
Very well, please standby.
You're not your usual self, are you?
I...I want to see Nancy as soon as possible.
See her and ask why...?
Take my advice, don't hesitate.
Completing the mission is the only priority.
There's movement inside the fortress!
It's a trap.
The I-jin have opened the gate for us...
why don't we allow our agents to enter.
Such overconfidence can only aid in our attack.
Alex, how long until map completion?
Seven minutes.
After inputting the heat source...
I'll be able to send you version Alpha One.
Joker, the analysis department reports they've finished checking...
the handwriting in the margin.
They say they'll send you the compiled data of the musical notes.
Understood.
Mother Goose, please determine invasion points.
Nancy!
We're under attack! Right airfoil damaged!
Retreat to a safe distance!
The controls are...!
Beetles?
It's beetles! We're being attacked by beetles!
Mother Goose has been shot down.
They've won the first round.
It's just begun. Please don't worry.
Are you two all right?
Yeah, but I feel sorry for the pilot.
So, what do we do now?
We'll create the model using satellite photos.
Please standby for mapping of inner structure.
Please be careful.
Understood.
Hey! Didn't you listen?
I know, but I have to hurry. Otherwise Nancy will...
She's a spy!
I don't think so!
Calm down! I don't care if you get yourself killed.
But I really don't want to get involved!
Look, I have to get Maggie a gift with this money...
before I go back home.
Besides, if you lose your concentration like that...
in the middle of an enemy compound...
you'll never know what kind of traps are waiting for you...!
Drake!
I owe you one...
The Paper! Drake! What happened?!
That Good-for-nothing is dead, and The Paper woman is sleeping.
What about Drake?
His ID signal went dead.
Joker, is this too much for you?
Not at all, Sir.
There are other options. We can always leave this to America.
Please give me a little more time.
I will resolve this situation no matter what.
The whole world is watching. A blunder would be fatal.
We need to finish up that map of the fortress interior.
And make sure this incident never leaks to any foreign countries.
I'll consider the countermeasures.
Now you're awake?
You must be cold. But forgive me. Your power troubles us.
You used to be a great man who philosophized about love.
Why are you doing this?
That was fine for my previous life...
but I found the inspiration to rule when I realized...
what I could do with my mind in today's world.
You can't put others in jeopardy for that reason!
You're going to reduce the human race? How?
Excuse me, I'm here to get the musical note data.
Joker! !
Suicide Symphony?
That's right.
Language, Race, IQ... none of this matters.
It's possible to screen all mankind instantly...
with the symphony called ''Paradise''.
And only one person can write this song.
He is the only one.
This is the greatest intellectual achievement of my life...
The plan to eliminate all mankind at once.
That's not intellect! That's slaughter! It's wrong!
I know, but I can't stop myself.
It's human psychology, you know?
It's a waste of time. Give up.
Oh, let me introduce you to some one before we begin.
Nancy!
Nancy?
You didn't betray us. It's all lies, right?
That's just your tactic to deceive these people, right?
You're such a good-natured person. She still believes in you.
She's been my woman all along.
But she seems to have grown fond of you.
Yomiko...I'm sorry, but...
If this...
is the ''real love'' that you mentioned...
I can understand how you feel.
But he's wrong! Nancy, if you really love him...
then you should make him realize that!
What a nice speech.
It's best to speak up while you're alive.
What!?
You promised me that you would spare her!
I will spare her.
But she's inconvenient as she is now.
I'll simply take her DNA and produce a clone.
Like I did with you.
Nancy!
Hi.
Allowing yourself to get emotionally attached only makes you vulnerable.
It's about time to renew you, too.
Don't put me on the same level as this traitor.
From beginning to end, I'm always an I-jin woman.
So you're...!
I'm fed up with being one of two.
Please, stop it!
She's dead, eh?
She's sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
How boring.
I should have cut her heart out.
I...I...
I'll never forgive you!
So, they are planning to force humanity to listen to...
Beethoven's ''Suicide Symphony''?
I have no doubt.
The most effective place to broadcast...
is from the outer edge of the stratosphere.
If it converges to a particular wave length...
the sound will reach the entire planet.
They need a rocket for that.
The equator!
Close to the equator, what better place to launch a rocket?
That's why they're moving south.
They must have a launching facility near the equator!
Please check the projected course via satellite!
Roger.
If we actually find them, what will we do then, Joker?
Request America's assistance...
and destroy the whole fortress, rocket included.
That's the most efficient way.
Then, what will happen to Yomiko?
Her signal is still on!
A transmitting derelict.
But, that doesn't mean...
This affects the fate of the entire human race.
Joker! This is Drake!
Drake!
You're still alive!
Is that bad news?!
What happened to The Paper?
She was captured by the target. Dead or alive, unknown.
I see.
Let's put her aside for now.
You must destroy the power reactor of that fortress.
Deter the launch of that rocket.
Then give me the location map!
Alex, send the map.
That woman, where is she? What the heck is she doing?!
Joker, the Pentagon is requesting permission to attack.
What an honor, Mr. President...
No, please give us a little more time.
Our mission is still in progress.
So please excuse me.
The fortress' thermal energy is rising.
Are the American forces attacking?
Please zoom in on the object in the middle.
Roger.
It's a rocket.
Hey, can you see this?
This is your guiding milestone to death.
All ships, attack!
You can't destroy this fortress with junk like that.
This fortress has fantastic power, doesn't it?
Number 3 and 4 are badly damaged! This fortress has fantastic power, doesn't it?
Combat strength down 40%.
Mr. President, please give the evacuation order!
But I don't like brute force.
Nukes! We still have nuclear weapons! But I don't like brute force.
Our fleet will be destroyed, too!
Well, I think I should stop that now. Our fleet will be destroyed, too!
Shut up! Well, I think I should stop that now.
There's more fun coming up after this, too.
He's insane! There's more fun coming up after this, too.
Restrain him!
This fortress will be fully open in about an hour.
The time will come when this device makes one full turn.
We will shoot off huge fireworks.
Look forward to it.
Drake, the I-Jin are trying to make an acoustic attack from orbit...
using that rocket.
Before the fortress fully opens, you must cut the power source.
I'll be requesting additional payment for this!
Maggie, your Papa's having bad luck today.
Very well...
Ok then, we'll have a swordfight. Actually, I am a Samurai.
The Paper!
The Paper! The Paper!
Yomiko!
Drake, please leave The Paper! Go finish your mission alone!
Interesting.
It's from Joker.
Paper, are you all right?
Drake, please let me borrow this.
Don't forget to give it back later!
Give it back no matter what!
So, this is the end.
Not yet!
Damn you! !
This is the end!
Hello, is this the British Library?
This is The Paper. I've defeated Gennai Hiraga.
Please forward next instructions.
Yes!
There's no time before the rocket launches.
Please finish off the other I-Jin.
We must stop the launch, no matter what.
Understood.
Wasn't that a big enough explosion?
What are you doing?
Mischief isn't good!
Why is a kid here?
This woman amazes me, you know.
Oh, scary. I'm leaving this to you, Nancy.
It doesn't work on me.
Die!
Nancy?!
Hi.
You!
You are always roused to violence. Well, thanks to that, I was saved.
Get going, The Paper!
But...
That's the reason you came here, isn't it?
Carry out your mission!
Yes!
I'm your opponent!
Joker! The rocket is launching!
Block it! Stop it completely, The Paper!
You monster!
Four minutes.
Make up your mind, Joker.
If we move now, we can take it out with a military satellite.
That would place the Pacific Fleet in harm's way, as well.
Please, trust our agents.
Very well, then.
2 left.
Silence at the fortress.
Sorry...
This shows my intellect, as well.
That's cheating!
Where's The Paper?
Communication is down.
How blissful he is...
You!
Please abort the launch and surrender...
and give me my book back!
Are you insane?
My book...
I'll ask you!
What is the book to you?!
Huh?!
Tiger King, furious attack!
The book is your doom.
You're a good woman, but it's time to say goodbye.
Nancy.
Nancy!
Yomiko...
To deceive your enemy, you must first deceive your friend.
Don't scare me like that, silly.
If I hadn't noticed your dexterous hand...
I could've blown myself up, you know.
You...?!
I told you...
To deceive your enemy, you must first deceive your friend.
Nancy...?!
You...traitor!
Such a good match with you.
Only one more step and this world would...!
I didn't care about the world.
Just having you by my side would have made me happy.
The Paper, I leave the rest to you.
Yes.
Why...did you?
This is my love, after all.
I wanted to see this to the end myself...I think.
But in any case, we'd better escape quickly.
What should we do?!
We've only one option. Use the book as a parachute.
But I haven't read this yet.
Well, do you have a better idea?
If we don't hurry, this will take us into space.
When it opens, we jump at the same time!
Don't let go of my hand. No matter what!
I understand.
Here we go.
One...
Two...
Three!
You were such an evil, cold and brutal man.
But it would be impossible to face an eternity of loneliness.
The Paper! Please answer!
Yes.
What's the status of the operation? And the I-Jin?
Exterminated. Mission completed.
Well done, The Paper. I'll send rescue, right away.
Understood.
Thank you.
Please take care of my younger sister.
Nancy...
This is Joker.
This is Yomiko.
Hi.
It's been quite a while.
How's the maternity leave substitute teaching?
Good. I'm finished.
And I want to ask you something.
Where is Nancy?
Prison medical facility.
The lack of oxygen to her brain has caused some memory loss.
Can she recover?
She's had some high-intensive, short term rehabilitation.
I'm not sure.
But I think she's happier now.
If she recovers, she'll only have a trial waiting for her.
Let me meet with her.
Hello.
Can I borrow this a moment?
Great!
Who are you?
Yomiko Readman.
I'm a friend of your older sister.
Do I have an older sister?
Yes, you did.
She was strong, yet gentle.
And she was a great hero who saved the world.
Please watch your step, Mr. President.
Freeze! !
Hands up and turn around! !
Shoot him! !
Hey!
Isn't this the Library?
No, it isn't...!
Blockheads.
Oh well...then I'll go on foot.
What are you?!
I-Jin.

Yes, that's fine.
You can count on me!
Just a moment please.
Clean up! Up! Up! Up!
Yes, go ahead.
Yes...
Yes!
Yes, the twelfth, next week.
OK, the week after.
Not at all, thank you! Thank you very much!
I did it!

TOTO BOOKS
Immortal Beloved-In German.
Wait, don't take that.
Why?
I was going to buy that book.
But I'm the one who picked it up.
So, well then.
Can I get this?
3500 Yen.
Ah...I'm sorry, but could I pay at the end of the month?
Immortal Beloved...
What? What is this?!
Bugs? What is this?!
I'll take that book!
Unmistakable.
What happened?
Please give my book back!
I just started reading that!
Give it back!
Am I too late!?
Yomiko!
Joker??
Yomiko! Why are you here?
You too Joker!? Why are you here??
I see. It was you.
What in the world was that?
I'll explain later.
Yomiko...I mean, The Paper, come with me.
Let me borrow that for a moment.
I haven't read it yet!
I'll return it after it's analyzed.
What is it really? Geez!
The world is in danger.
Hi, Joker. That was fast.
Paul.
Please take a look at this immediately.
OK.
You shine brightest when surrounded by books.
Do...do I?
But, evidently you need improvement in all other areas.
Gentleman is waiting for you.
Mr. Gentleman, I've brought The Paper.
Yomiko, eh?
It's been a long time.
You grew up.
Please allow me to bring you up to speed.
Very well...
Well then.
Two days ago...
a mystery man appeared in Washington DC.
He caused tremendous damage...
eventually attacking the United States Library of Congress.
He stole six hundred manuscripts and disappeared.
Manuscripts?
Yes.
We have received a formal request from the US Library of Congress.
It's for capturing the offender and returning the manuscripts.
However, this case has bizarre elements.
Concerning this footage of the mystery man...
In other words...It's about this...
The Elekiter, made by a Japanese inventor named Gennai Hiraga.
Which is to say...
there's the possibility that the mystery man is Hiraga Gennai.
But Hiraga Gennai died years ago.
Precisely...
A year ago, stem-cell samples of I-jin were stolen...
from the Department of Dominant Gene Conservation.
Hiraga Gennai's name is on this list of stolen DNA.
Someone may have used this DNA to bring Gennai back to life...
with dreadful special abilities.
For what purpose?
Unknown.
The entry in the grasshopper guy's note book...
corresponds to Fabre's ''Book of insects''.
That man is a clone of Jean-Henri Fabre.
Why did Fabre attack me?
You were not his target, the book was.
This is the first of two books.
The second book was among the stolen manuscripts.
Gentleman, someone has concocted an evil plot utilizing I-jin DNA.
Please devise an official operation to settle this business.
All right.
Thank you very much.
Now, the British Library Special Engineer Force...
shall commence ''Operation Manuscript Retrieval.''
Excuse me, am I part of this, too?
Of course you are.
I...I have a substitute-teaching job...
as a maternity leave replacement starting next week.
Which do you think is more important? World peace or maternity leave?
But...but, even if the world was at peace, without a job, I wouldn't be happy at all!
We'll pay for your services.
It's not enough!
I've been buying so many books this month.
Oh, and I have an unpaid balance on that book, also!
You haven't changed.
You're impetuous as usual.
OK, I'll give you the second volume of that stolen book as an extra reward.
Oh, Really?
Yes.
I...I'll try my best!
Are you sure about that?
I can fake it.
What is it?
The book...
Analysis first.
Gentleman.
I would like to have a support staff and one more agent.
Very well.
Drake Anderson speaking.
Now listen here! I picked a paper fortune this morning!
It said ''Great Fortune''. You know, that's big time lucky!
But half way through the day...
stupid Joker called me and told me to support you!
If ''Great Fortune'' gives me a day like this...
what kind of disaster would it have been if I picked a bad fortune?
Ah...Drake!
It's a mission! Get down!
Yeah...yes!
Mister Anderson, over here.
Poor thing...
What's wrong?
The damage to this wall is odd.
There's no residue of any explosive or fire damage either.
Has the other agent arrived?
I don't know.
And?
Yes.
What should I do now?
Just don't bother anybody.
Go to a corner to sit and daydream or something.
What do you mean?
This room appears to have become a microwave.
Is it an Optical weapon?
Corner...corner...
Von Arnim's ''Letters to the Assembly''!
This one is Pincinelli's ''Mundus Symbolicus''!
''Gustav Flaubert'' is just sitting here.
You're...!
We meet again, The Paper.
Then, it's you!
I'm Miss Deep.
Deep?
I've been hearing rumors about you.
Though I was not expecting to see you in Tokyo.
So you're after this book, too?
It was an order from Joker. But I didn't think you were The Paper.
I'm Yomiko, Yomiko Readman.
I see.
What's your name?
I told you, I'm Miss Deep.
Your real name?
Are there any agents that give their real names at a first meeting?
Yeah...
Your awareness is insufficient.
But, won't we get along better calling each other by name?
We pair up for the mission. Codenames are enough.
I see...
Well, nice to meet you for now.
Yes!
Huh?
This is my power.
I can dive deeply into substances and pass through them.
That's why I am Deep.
You leave yourself wide open. The Paper is no big threat.
I'm sorry...I was...
My glasses are...
So you do have some skills.
Huh?
I am Otto Lilienthal!
I'll take that book!
What?!
A bullet can't kill the wind!
You can never kill the wind!
What a bad day...
Drake!
He took the book!
Huh?
I'll go after him!
The enemy was one of the I-jin, report it!
Who is this?
Oh, my partner...
Miss Deep.
What's your fortune today?
Huh?
Malone from the FBI. Connect me to the Pentagon.
Come in.
I brought the data.
I-jin have been spotted!
This one's name is ''Otto Lilienthal''.
Who is that?
He was called, ''the Aerial King of Germany''.
Mister Gentleman?!
An obscure genius during the glider generation.
That genius is heading to New York.
At phenomenal speed!
Echo 1, 2, 3. We spotted the target, an unidentified flying object.
Shoot him down!
They're flying such pedestrian crafts.
Still one left, eh?
Echo 1,2 and 3 shot down.
The US army is having a hard time.
You can't fight him conventionally.
My book...
All units converge on target.
All units, prepare for battle! Fire as soon as you have a visual.
A Samurai?!
All...destroyed!
Bail out!
What can we do? We can't catch him on foot.
I know. But there must be some way...
There is a way!
You're going after him in that? Seriously?
Unbelievable...
Hurry!
Take this.
I've never had a mission like this.
Don't blame me if you fall off!
I'll blame you!
Three...
Two...
One...
Fire! !
That woman is misfortune.
Hey!? What's going on!
Sorry! I forgot the tail assembly!
Successful takeoff!
I thought it was falling.
It's about time to go back...mm?
Please give my book back!
Land slowly, now!
Don't underestimate me!
I'll show you why I was called, ''The Aerial King''!
Flying in that thing! How shameless!
This is ridiculous!
He's up to something!
Spin! Spin! !
Crash! !
Hold on!
This sucks!
I am not happy!
Ms. Deep! I'm changing tactics!
Ok, I'm going.
Please!
Fall! Fall!
Eat some dust!
You...!
Witch! !
If you're a witch you should fly with a broom.
What?!
My book. Please give it back!
Give it back to me!
You...! !
Paper...
The book...
Die! Die!
Your sky comes to a dead end here.
Die! !
The book!
You're an idiot, aren't you?
Don't you ever think about the consequences?
Is that book more important than your life?
But at least you're not a useless idiot, after all.
Thank you very much Miss Dee...
Nancy, Nancy Makuhari.
Eh? But...
It's fine now. To be honest, I hate that codename.
It's not cute at all.
I'm Yomiko, Yomiko Readman.
I heard that before.
He was a blockhead, even on the verge of death.
Oh well, let's report back.
Those are the images we received eighteen hours ago.
After that, the surveillance satellite was destroyed.
The cause is unknown.
Is he I-jin also? Who is he?
We are checking but unable to identify yet.
There're many things ''unknown''.
The stolen books have already been found on the market in India.
The Paper, Miss Deep...
contact the dealer ''Jahaal'' and search for any traces of the I-jin.
OK!
When you come into direct contact with the I-jin...
please capture them alive.
OK! OK!

Come in.
I brought results from the ''Immortal Beloved'' sheet analysis.
Thank you...
Pardon me.
What is this?
This is a piece of Lilienthal's engine we found in New York.
Is it from a manufacturer called ''Stephen''?
We're checking now.
The company doesn't exist in the UK or the USA.
I'm...I'm sorry!
It's fine.
Miss Wendy...
Yes?
I've got homework for you.
Be calm...love me... today...yesterday...
Such tearful longing for you...
You...you're my life!
Oh, continue to love me!
That's what it says...in the margin.
So what about it?
It's just a scribble, isn't it?
But I think I've heard this somewhere before.
This book looks dirty.
Yeah, it's old.
The bookmark will get dirty eventually.
It's a waste since it's a cute bookmark.
You think this bookmark...is cute?
Huh?
Yeah, I think so.
This is a present for you.
Oh, thank you.
I give these away to my close friends.
And you're a very important friend to me.
Thanks...I'll cherish it.
Just holding it brings you health.
And if you place it in a romance novel, you increase your luck in love.
I don't read that kind of novel.
I'd rather love for real than read about it.
Well, that's true.
But real romance doesn't go smoothly like a novel.
Nancy?
How about you? Which do you prefer...
a true love that doesn't go well, or a happy love that's fictitious?
Sorry I asked such a silly question.
I'm going to get some rest.
If I weren't on a mission, I could get a sari for Maggie.
We're almost there.
Good!
Let's get ready to surface.
I came up with an answer to that question.
I think real romance is wonderful.
I mean, you might suffer but..
no matter what kind of romance, you're always the main character.
Don't speak of silly fairytales. This is a mission.
Focus on the mission.
Yes...
OK, go get him.
Nancy Makuhari. Twenty-six years old.
Her birthplace is Japan.
After graduating Cambridge University, she joined Scotland Yard.
After a year she was recruited...
as a member of the British Library Special Engineer Force.
No violations or delinquency.
Well, I don't see anything suspicious about her.
Isn't this too much worry?
Squeeky clean is sometimes more dubious than soiled.
Try again.
Investigate deeper and wider, and use dirty tricks this time.
Y...Yes...
Yes, Joker speaking.
We're at Jahaal's store.
All right.
Then, please start the legwork. I'm counting on you.
Because I trust you.
Mister Jahaal...
I wonder if he's out?
We're going in.
It smells like something's burning.
Please search inside the store.
Roger.
Hello...we're looking around.
If you don't answer, we'll look around even more.
The mission comes first, The Paper.
Understood...
Mr. Jahaal...please come out.
What's this?
A bug?
What's going on?
It's an I-jin!
My name is Genjo! Saiten Genjo Sanzo Houshi!
Genjo! That name, look it up!
Did you come to get this book as well!?
Indeed.
I came here once to retrieve the Sutra.
However, now I only want the book.
I mastered Buddhism, so those tricks won't work on me.
So give up this hopeless battle!
Go on without me.
Nancy!
Quickly!
Move, woman!
Here's the result of the Genjo search.
Here is the information on the enemy.
Genjo is a high priest from the 7th century.
He traveled to India, and brought back the Buddhist scripture.
The model of the novel ''Saiyuki'' or ''The Monkey King''.
I read that when I was four.
That ''Saiyuki'' is pure fiction.
But now he has the extentable bar ''Nyoibo'' and the ability to breath fire.
For now, please retreat to the sub.
Yes, but I'm worryed about Nancy.
You should worry about yourself.
Nancy!
I'll take that book. No matter what!
It's a Kintoen!
You should be able to see them pretty soon.
I can already see them.
Stop!
This way!
Let us through!
Sorry to bother you!
Dammit!
Not enough steam?!
Huh?
Zoom in please.
That's steam as well.
Hurry!
I won't let you escape!
It won't work twice!
Nancy!
Give me that book!
Got it!
What's wrong?! You're just defending! How worthless!
The Paper!
Yes?
Lead him twenty meters forward.
We'll fire directly from the sub!
Yes!
Which tube is available for launch?
Only number four is available!
OK, time - three seconds! Distance - fifty meters!
Flood tube number four!
Seven more meters.
He's holding steady, seven meters off.
How bothersome!
I won't let you get away!
He's moving!
Five meters!
Four...
Three...
Two...
One...
Fire!
Yes!
Target on radar.
He's alive!
Unforgivable!
I'll kill you later. Just wait there.
Please run, Nancy. You can make it...
Don't say such things. It just makes it harder to run.
I'm sorry...But...
I guess we have no choice.
This may hurt a bit, but...
I'll overcome that Nyoibo staff.
So you attack while I distract him.
Yes.
Come out! The Paper!
There you are!
I've got you!
Woman!
You!
The Paper!
Yes!
Nancy!
Are you OK?
It's nothing.
But...
The book!
The book?!
The book!
Nancy!
I've got it.
I win!
The Paper!
Got it!
The book! The book!
Give back my Nyoibo! And we'll finish this showdown.
Well done.
Hurry up!
N...Nancy...I thought you might never wake up.
Two days straight...
I slept for that long?
Then you were...?
I'm...really glad!
I'm sorry.
They got the book because of me.
Don't worry.
We can look for the book again.
But you're the only one of you in the world.
I'm going to rest for a minute.
Good night...
What's the analysis of the symbols in the margin?
We're not able to get results by numbers.
We're programming the musical notes with multiple combinations.
Please let me know when you get the results.
Yes.
Ah, and, is Elias there?
Just a moment please.
So that's it!
What's up, Joker?
Sorry, I'll call you right back.
'' Today! Yesterday! What tearful longing for you!''
This is Beethoven.
This is the letter to his ''Immortal Beloved''...
which was discovered among correspondences left by the departed.
It correlates to the book's scribbles.
I see.
When the handwriting is identified...
we'll be able to conclude it was a book from Beethoven.
But why do they want Beethoven's book?
I don't know yet.
But I'll plan a new operation as soon as The Paper and her crew get back.
Drake, did you see a new case in here?
I don't know.
It was outside.
Oh...Sorry.
Are you OK now?
Of course. Who do you think I am?
Thank you very much.
And the ninth inning is about to begin.
The number of runs they need is one.
The leadoff batter is...
Hey!
This is...Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
''Ode to Joy''...
Who is doing this?
There's a mysterious radio disturbance...
on all domestic military installations in the US.
The source of dispatch is in the Pacific Ocean.
Off the coast of Hawaii...
Hey, can you hear me?
I am Ikkyuu.
I am the leader of this group.
So many people died in our generation... Record this!
So many people died in our generation... Yes we are!
because of starvation, wars and things, but...
now, there are so many people here. I-jin corps.
now, there are so many people here.
Well done.
My book!
But you know, there's just a few too many now.
This world around us...
can actually be taken care of with only a few people.
Did you reach The Paper?
If the people are as great as we are...
We can't, the signal is too strong.
We can make a more complete world than this one.
Let me through, please! It's urgent!
This is parroting someone's idea, though.
Now, it's time for intellect.
How can you eliminate the useless people effectively?
Biochemical weapons are hard to clean up after.
Atomic weapons blow everything away.
And so, I found a good plan.
Would you like to know?
Well, no need to feel rushed.
You'll know soon enough, even if you don't want to.
Joker!
You'll know soon enough, even if you don't want to.
But by the time you realize, you'll be in the afterlife. Joker! Nancy Makuhari was pronounced dead back in college!
But don't worry. Joker! Nancy Makuhari was pronounced dead back in college!
We'll stay behind to make a much better world. Joker! Nancy Makuhari was pronounced dead back in college!
We'll stay behind to make a much better world.
Yes, we, the ones who are left.
It's about time you came back too, Nancy.
I mean...
Mata Hari.
Capture her!
Please, wait!
Nancy...
You're too trusting, The Paper
I said capture her, Drake.
Surrender! You can't to escape!
Who do you think I am?
Good bye, The Paper.
Nancy!
Well done.
It's not true...it can't be...
Joker.
Right here.
We are suspending ''Operation Manuscript Retrieval.''
All of you will now commence, ''Operation Exterminate I-Jin Corps.''
You'll have unlimited access to Land Service, Navy and Air Force.
In case of foreign interference, I give you permission to use my name.
Can you do it?
Of course.
British Library Special Engineer Force...
suspend ''Operation Manuscript Retrieval,'' immediatly.
As of now, we begin ''Operation Exterminate I-Jin Corps''!
I want all department heads to meet in five minutes.
Put the system on standby, Level-B.
Request emergency assembly of all off-duty agents, as well.
And one more thing...
Get me a cup of hot tea.
Yes! Please leave it to me!
Fort detected, at 2 o'clock.
Distance 3,000.
That's the I-jin Fortress.
I-Jin Fortress is heading for the south pacific at ten knots.
The US Navy's Seventh fleet is maintaining distance of 7,000...
in executive state, stand down.
We have the United Nations' approval.
Operation satellites are calibrated accurately.
Please reconfirm System G!
No reply from North Korea yet. Ah, It's coming now.
For the meantime, I'll hold off the USA.
But don't do anything embarrassing.
For the sake of the British Empire
Due to steam interference...
investigation of the I-jin Fortress has been proceeding with difficulty.
At present, the model of the fortress is only 4% complete.
Fine weather for fifty square kilometers.
This is Mother Goose.
We'll reach our destination in one minute.
Roger.
Keep a safe distance and transfer image data of the outside wall.
Rear support force, at standby Level A.
I could hold off aggression from major nations.
System G, Synchronization100%. Communication system is secure.
Communication, meteorology, public relations, analysis...
medical attention, and prospect.
All sections are prepared.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Well then, from this moment...
we commence ''Operation Exterminate I-Jin Corps.''

The Paper, Drake.
As soon as the model of the I-Jin fortress is complete...
the two of you will commence infiltration.
Yes, I am prepared.
Very well, please standby.
You're not your usual self, are you?
I...I want to see Nancy as soon as possible.
See her and ask why...?
Take my advice, don't hesitate.
Completing the mission is the only priority.
There's movement inside the fortress!
It's a trap.
The I-jin have opened the gate for us...
why don't we allow our agents to enter.
Such overconfidence can only aid in our attack.
Alex, how long until map completion?
Seven minutes.
After inputting the heat source...
I'll be able to send you version Alpha One.
Joker, the analysis department reports they've finished checking...
the handwriting in the margin.
They say they'll send you the compiled data of the musical notes.
Understood.
Mother Goose, please determine invasion points.
Nancy!
We're under attack! Right airfoil damaged!
Retreat to a safe distance!
The controls are...!
Beetles?
It's beetles! We're being attacked by beetles!
Mother Goose has been shot down.
They've won the first round.
It's just begun. Please don't worry.
Are you two all right?
Yeah, but I feel sorry for the pilot.
So, what do we do now?
We'll create the model using satellite photos.
Please standby for mapping of inner structure.
Please be careful.
Understood.
Hey! Didn't you listen?
I know, but I have to hurry. Otherwise Nancy will...
She's a spy!
I don't think so!
Calm down! I don't care if you get yourself killed.
But I really don't want to get involved!
Look, I have to get Maggie a gift with this money...
before I go back home.
Besides, if you lose your concentration like that...
in the middle of an enemy compound...
you'll never know what kind of traps are waiting for you...!
Drake!
I owe you one...
The Paper! Drake! What happened?!
That Good-for-nothing is dead, and The Paper woman is sleeping.
What about Drake?
His ID signal went dead.
Joker, is this too much for you?
Not at all, Sir.
There are other options. We can always leave this to America.
Please give me a little more time.
I will resolve this situation no matter what.
The whole world is watching. A blunder would be fatal.
We need to finish up that map of the fortress interior.
And make sure this incident never leaks to any foreign countries.
I'll consider the countermeasures.
Now you're awake?
You must be cold. But forgive me. Your power troubles us.
You used to be a great man who philosophized about love.
Why are you doing this?
That was fine for my previous life...
but I found the inspiration to rule when I realized...
what I could do with my mind in today's world.
You can't put others in jeopardy for that reason!
You're going to reduce the human race? How?
Excuse me, I'm here to get the musical note data.
Joker! !
Suicide Symphony?
That's right.
Language, Race, IQ... none of this matters.
It's possible to screen all mankind instantly...
with the symphony called ''Paradise''.
And only one person can write this song.
He is the only one.
This is the greatest intellectual achievement of my life...
The plan to eliminate all mankind at once.
That's not intellect! That's slaughter! It's wrong!
I know, but I can't stop myself.
It's human psychology, you know?
It's a waste of time. Give up.
Oh, let me introduce you to some one before we begin.
Nancy!
Nancy?
You didn't betray us. It's all lies, right?
That's just your tactic to deceive these people, right?
You're such a good-natured person. She still believes in you.
She's been my woman all along.
But she seems to have grown fond of you.
Yomiko...I'm sorry, but...
If this...
is the ''real love'' that you mentioned...
I can understand how you feel.
But he's wrong! Nancy, if you really love him...
then you should make him realize that!
What a nice speech.
It's best to speak up while you're alive.
What!?
You promised me that you would spare her!
I will spare her.
But she's inconvenient as she is now.
I'll simply take her DNA and produce a clone.
Like I did with you.
Nancy!
Hi.
Allowing yourself to get emotionally attached only makes you vulnerable.
It's about time to renew you, too.
Don't put me on the same level as this traitor.
From beginning to end, I'm always an I-jin woman.
So you're...!
I'm fed up with being one of two.
Please, stop it!
She's dead, eh?
She's sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
How boring.
I should have cut her heart out.
I...I...
I'll never forgive you!
So, they are planning to force humanity to listen to...
Beethoven's ''Suicide Symphony''?
I have no doubt.
The most effective place to broadcast...
is from the outer edge of the stratosphere.
If it converges to a particular wave length...
the sound will reach the entire planet.
They need a rocket for that.
The equator!
Close to the equator, what better place to launch a rocket?
That's why they're moving south.
They must have a launching facility near the equator!
Please check the projected course via satellite!
Roger.
If we actually find them, what will we do then, Joker?
Request America's assistance...
and destroy the whole fortress, rocket included.
That's the most efficient way.
Then, what will happen to Yomiko?
Her signal is still on!
A transmitting derelict.
But, that doesn't mean...
This affects the fate of the entire human race.
Joker! This is Drake!
Drake!
You're still alive!
Is that bad news?!
What happened to The Paper?
She was captured by the target. Dead or alive, unknown.
I see.
Let's put her aside for now.
You must destroy the power reactor of that fortress.
Deter the launch of that rocket.
Then give me the location map!
Alex, send the map.
That woman, where is she? What the heck is she doing?!
Joker, the Pentagon is requesting permission to attack.
What an honor, Mr. President...
No, please give us a little more time.
Our mission is still in progress.
So please excuse me.
The fortress' thermal energy is rising.
Are the American forces attacking?
Please zoom in on the object in the middle.
Roger.
It's a rocket.
Hey, can you see this?
This is your guiding milestone to death.
All ships, attack!
You can't destroy this fortress with junk like that.
This fortress has fantastic power, doesn't it?
Number 3 and 4 are badly damaged! This fortress has fantastic power, doesn't it?
Combat strength down 40%.
Mr. President, please give the evacuation order!
But I don't like brute force.
Nukes! We still have nuclear weapons! But I don't like brute force.
Our fleet will be destroyed, too!
Well, I think I should stop that now. Our fleet will be destroyed, too!
Shut up! Well, I think I should stop that now.
There's more fun coming up after this, too.
He's insane! There's more fun coming up after this, too.
Restrain him!
This fortress will be fully open in about an hour.
The time will come when this device makes one full turn.
We will shoot off huge fireworks.
Look forward to it.
Drake, the I-Jin are trying to make an acoustic attack from orbit...
using that rocket.
Before the fortress fully opens, you must cut the power source.
I'll be requesting additional payment for this!
Maggie, your Papa's having bad luck today.
Very well...
Ok then, we'll have a swordfight. Actually, I am a Samurai.
The Paper!
The Paper! The Paper!
Yomiko!
Drake, please leave The Paper! Go finish your mission alone!
Interesting.
It's from Joker.
Paper, are you all right?
Drake, please let me borrow this.
Don't forget to give it back later!
Give it back no matter what!
So, this is the end.
Not yet!
Damn you! !
This is the end!
Hello, is this the British Library?
This is The Paper. I've defeated Gennai Hiraga.
Please forward next instructions.
Yes!
There's no time before the rocket launches.
Please finish off the other I-Jin.
We must stop the launch, no matter what.
Understood.
Wasn't that a big enough explosion?
What are you doing?
Mischief isn't good!
Why is a kid here?
This woman amazes me, you know.
Oh, scary. I'm leaving this to you, Nancy.
It doesn't work on me.
Die!
Nancy?!
Hi.
You!
You are always roused to violence. Well, thanks to that, I was saved.
Get going, The Paper!
But...
That's the reason you came here, isn't it?
Carry out your mission!
Yes!
I'm your opponent!
Joker! The rocket is launching!
Block it! Stop it completely, The Paper!
You monster!
Four minutes.
Make up your mind, Joker.
If we move now, we can take it out with a military satellite.
That would place the Pacific Fleet in harm's way, as well.
Please, trust our agents.
Very well, then.
2 left.
Silence at the fortress.
Sorry...
This shows my intellect, as well.
That's cheating!
Where's The Paper?
Communication is down.
How blissful he is...
You!
Please abort the launch and surrender...
and give me my book back!
Are you insane?
My book...
I'll ask you!
What is the book to you?!
Huh?!
Tiger King, furious attack!
The book is your doom.
You're a good woman, but it's time to say goodbye.
Nancy.
Nancy!
Yomiko...
To deceive your enemy, you must first deceive your friend.
Don't scare me like that, silly.
If I hadn't noticed your dexterous hand...
I could've blown myself up, you know.
You...?!
I told you...
To deceive your enemy, you must first deceive your friend.
Nancy...?!
You...traitor!
Such a good match with you.
Only one more step and this world would...!
I didn't care about the world.
Just having you by my side would have made me happy.
The Paper, I leave the rest to you.
Yes.
Why...did you?
This is my love, after all.
I wanted to see this to the end myself...I think.
But in any case, we'd better escape quickly.
What should we do?!
We've only one option. Use the book as a parachute.
But I haven't read this yet.
Well, do you have a better idea?
If we don't hurry, this will take us into space.
When it opens, we jump at the same time!
Don't let go of my hand. No matter what!
I understand.
Here we go.
One...
Two...
Three!
You were such an evil, cold and brutal man.
But it would be impossible to face an eternity of loneliness.
The Paper! Please answer!
Yes.
What's the status of the operation? And the I-Jin?
Exterminated. Mission completed.
Well done, The Paper. I'll send rescue, right away.
Understood.
Thank you.
Please take care of my younger sister.
Nancy...
This is Joker.
This is Yomiko.
Hi.
It's been quite a while.
How's the maternity leave substitute teaching?
Good. I'm finished.
And I want to ask you something.
Where is Nancy?
Prison medical facility.
The lack of oxygen to her brain has caused some memory loss.
Can she recover?
She's had some high-intensive, short term rehabilitation.
I'm not sure.
But I think she's happier now.
If she recovers, she'll only have a trial waiting for her.
Let me meet with her.
Hello.
Can I borrow this a moment?
Great!
Who are you?
Yomiko Readman.
I'm a friend of your older sister.
Do I have an older sister?
Yes, you did.
She was strong, yet gentle.
And she was a great hero who saved the world.
