From this building, you can look out over the entire school.
Yeah. So...
That AS...
How long can it keep jamming?
About 120 seconds, but the mech also won't be able to move.
But it can cover the entire school.
It will keep the bombs from going off?
"Study hall, on account of an emergency staff meeting!"
Yeah. How about evacuating everyone and saving Kyoko within that time?
How will we determine the enemy's frequency?
I'll write an algorithm.
In the Arbalest's programming? You can do that?
It's written in BAda, right?
I can do it.
How long will it take?
One hour.
I'll buy some time.
Starting the trace.
"Episode 4 On My Own"
Have you decided?
I can't agree to your terms.
Oh?
You don't mind if your friends die?
It's none of my concern how many people at that school die.
Why don't we let some of them die, then?
Suit yourself.
I've been ordered to murder her, should it become necessary.
What are your demands?
That I won't be harmed.
You don't get it. How about I set off one of the bombs?
Our negotiations have broken down, then.
--Hey! --Don't worry.
But...!
What matters to me is that I can secure the girl you've got.
I bet.
The AS is a threat, though.
First, I need your assurance that you'll neutralize it.
Then at 1100 hours,
I'll have the Arbalest move to the abandoned factory in Sengawa's 2nd district.
It will stand by with its hatch open.
We'll be watching.
Of course.
I'll send Kaname Chidori by herself to Sengawa Station.
Once she's been handed over, I'll disappear.
"That Serina and Miki can be friends forever."
Okay, fine. But if things don't go exactly according to plan,
I'm setting off all the bombs.
As I keep telling you, that doesn't amount to a threat.
Al, cancel ECS.
Roger.
Wait!
What's the big idea?!
We're moving. It's dangerous here.
No, not that!
Why'd you offer that impossible arrangement?
I made it all up, of course.
But it bought us time.
"Options | E-mail"
He's got some nerve.
Sempai, I have a favor to ask.
I'm done!
Let's get started, then.
Wait, what about me?
You stay hidden. I'll come get you afterwards.
But there must still be something I can do.
You've done plenty.
If I don't return, read this.
It contains info about a hideout and how to contact it.
"If you don't return"?
You know what I mean.
Sousuke...
I'll be back.
Good luck...
Al, remain on alert in mode 4.
Roger.
Sergeant.
What?
Please do not leave me here like this.
Why would you say that?
Because I have a premonition.
Premonition?
That you and I are going to part ways.
Remain on alert, like I ordered.
Thirty minutes to go. Shall we send men to the designated location?
There's no need. He was just bluffing.
Then...
If anything happens, boom. No mercy.
Don't butt in.
Just stay here and keep quiet.
What was that?
"Fire alarm"
This is the student council. A short time ago,
a serious disaster occurred on the fourth floor of the north building.
"Study hall"
As I'm sure you've guessed, it's Sagara.
Due to an unfortunate accident, his poison gas has leaked.
Please evacuate outside immediately.
Poison gas?
No way...
The end.
They're not exploding!
What's going on?!
It's extremely powerful electronic jamming!
I'll find the source!
Run!
Sagara's gone and done it again!
We're gonna die!
As rapidly as I expected.
We're still being jammed!
It's coming from...
That's...
When did it...
All units, attack the AS at Point Delta! ASAP!
What about our Codarls?
Call them back!
All three of them!
Warning: 12 enemy infantrymen detected. Range, one.
I am under attack.
What's the jamming time?
Ninety seconds remaining.
Tokiwa!
Sagara!
I'm here to save you.
Th-These strangers, they...
What about Kana-chan?! Is she safe?!
Yes, she's in a safe place.
Wh-What?
Don't worry about it.
But...
I'll bypass the detonator.
Don't move.
Twenty seconds until jamming ends.
Only one of four cables is the correct one...
Which is it?
Ten seconds left.
Eight. Seven. Six.
Jamming suspended. Abandoning position.
Sagara...
Don't move yet.
Hey, explain all this.
I don't want to die not knowing anything.
Who exactly are you?
He's a hitman.
We meet at last, Sousuke Sagara.
Young lady, it's an outright lie that he's a high school student.
Stop it!
He forged his paperwork so he could infiltrate this school,
all for Kaname Chidori.
For Kana-chan?
I'm...
Miss Tokiwa!
Where are you?!
Answer me!
Everyone's evacuated! Hurry and get over here!
Must be a teacher.
Wh-What's going on here?! You're not authorized to be--
Where is Kaname Chidori?
I-It's all right, Miss Tokiwa. I'll talk some sense into these people!
Who're you?
What?
Keep your eyes closed, Tokiwa!
Damn!
Wraith. So, you're a woman?
What have you been doing?
I've been looking for you guys.
Three enemy ASes approaching. Preparing to intercept.
Come here.
Roger.
What do you intend to do?
Fight.
Tokiwa!
They were fun times.
Thanks.
Targeting waves detected. 2. 1.
Crap!
Sergeant! Sergeant Sagara!
I'll look after her! You hurry and go!
Sergeant, what are you doing?!
The enemy's coming!
What do you want?
Looks like you're having a hard time.
Nice of you to notice. We haven't found the girl, either.
I'm about to give up.
No need for that.
We just have to take Sousuke Sagara hostage.
Oh?
That's crazy.
He's still in the middle of his rampage!
I want you to keep him a little more stationary.
I'll be there soon.
Is it necessary for you to go?
Every now and then. I have to get my exercise.
Please don't get hurt.
Thank you, Sabina.
I'll be right back.
That makes... three.
Transport plane of unknown affiliation detected.
Did something... drop?!
Six o'clock, range zero.
Output and mobility surpass that of the Eligor type.
It is extremely dangerous.
I recommend immediate withdrawal.
Well then, Sagara.
It's him!
This is your last warning.
Can I convince you to give up and hand her over?
I think you know the answer!
Yes, I suppose I do.
But that lack of understanding you display.
Do you think it's cool or something?
What're you talking about?
Well, it's just that I...
...hate that kind of thing!
Kyoko...
What are you doing here?!
Kyoko!
Kyoko, no!
Stay back! I'm giving her first aid!
Will she make it?!
I don't know yet.
I'm... sorry...
I'm sorry!
I'm sor--
You can see it, can't you?
Stop it!
You get it, don't you?
Don't kill him!
I'm in a bad mood.
I'm begging you!
No one but you can stop this.
I'll even love you!
That heroism, that strength...
I'll try hard!
Why are they for him?!
Generator, stopped. All condensers, damaged.
I recommend you abandon mech... and esc--
Thanks for everything, Al...
Your discharge... is approved!
Stop it!
Chidori!
I'll go, all right?!
With whom, pray tell?
With you...
I'll go with you!
Chidori, stop!
Chidori!
You heard her, Sagara!
Chidori... Stop!
Chidori!
Enough already!
Goodbye...
I swear...
I swear I'll bring you back!
No matter what!
I'll bring you back to this place no matter what!
Chidori!
Go! Protect the captain!
Mr. Kalinin!
No, ma'am! Hurry!
Mr. Yang!
Captain... Run!
Mr. Yang!
This is Alpha 6. We have the enemy commander!
Stand up!
Move it!
Stop!
Man!
These creeps show up all over the place.
Melissa!
What's our situation?
This base is going to fall.
I ordered a withdrawal to the Danaan,
but I don't know how many got there...
Mr. Kalinin remained behind, too.
Okay.
I haven't heard from Mr. Clouseau or Mr. Weber.
Perhaps they're already...
Damn it, I swear I'll make them pay for this!
I intend to as well.
That's the spirit.
I love you, Tessa.
And I, you!
We've been waiting for you, Captain.
The Tuatha de Danaan, ruler of the seven seas
and mightiest ship in human history, is ready to depart at any time.
By your command!
Mr. Mardukas...
I am astounded.
You still adhere to discipline at a time like this?
It's at times like this that discipline is most important.
All hands, board ship!
Performing final inspection.
Group A, complete. Group B, complete.
Group C, conditionally complete. Awaiting acknowledgement from XO.
I have confirmed, Captain.
Very well. Ahead, one third!
Aye, ma'am. Ahead, one third!
Ahead, one third.
Open all torpedo tubes!
Aye, ma'am. Open all torpedo tubes!
Opening all torpedo tubes!
Contact!
There's a huge one, dead ahead!
That's just fine.
Launch all torpedoes as we go to full combat speed!
Aye aye, ma'am.
Launch all torpedoes, and at the same time, reach full combat speed!
All hands, brace for impact!
Don't falter!
Keep pushing ahead!
Who fired those shots?!
We figured you'd come!
That was cutting it close.
Mr. Weber! Mr. Clouseau!
Those guys really are tenacious.
That's our strong point.
Open hatch 13.
After recovering the two mechs, we'll break through the enemy's net.
Prepare to dive!
Aye aye, ma'am! Prepare to dive!
I know this is a terrible situation, but I need all of you to be strong.
It seems it's going to take a while to repair our school facilities.
Things won't seem very normal during this time,
but I'm going to try my best, and so I encourage all of you to--
Sagara!
I imagine you've already been told a number of things.
I'm the one who was inside that white AS.
I was an agent for a certain mercenary force...
...and an AS operator on active duty.
I'm sorry... that I kept this from you!
You're sorry?!
You should tell that to Tokiwa!
She's still in the hospital!
Ono-D, stop!
It's cruel, what happened to her! Don't you feel anything over it?!
Cut the crap! Weren't we friends?!
Say something!
Say something...
Say something!
What...
What did you come here to do?!
I just wanted to tell you.
What?
I'll be sure to bring Chidori back.
I'll be sure to bring her back here!
No matter what. No matter what happens!
So when that time comes, welcome her back!
That's all I want to say.
