Foreign. A decade after the great defeat, our nation finally emerged from the chaos and confusion of occupation rule. In an effort to rejoin the world and rebuild the war-ravaged nation, our leaders chose to pursue a policy of aggressive economic growth.
00:39
Speaker A
[Music] Although these extreme measures proved successful in many respects, they also led to serious social unrest. Massive unemployment and urban migration quickly turned large areas of the cities into slums, and violent crime began to soar. Even more ominous was the rise of armed
01:02
Speaker A
anti-government groups bent on changing society through force. These groups grew so powerful that local police authorities were overwhelmed. The government was left with few options to avoid violating the new Constitution, which placed severe restrictions on military activity by the self-defense
01:20
Speaker A
forces, and to dissuade the local police authorities from forming a national police force, the government chose an alternate path. With its activities limited to the capital, a new paramilitary force was established under the direct command of the National Security Committee. This was
01:36
Speaker A
the birth of the Capitol Police organization. Highly mobile and heavily armed, the Capitol Police quickly expanded its power and declared itself the guardian of public order. [Music] The enemy, anti-government forces facing bans and other legal restrictions, were forced underground. To strengthen their
01:57
Speaker A
movement, the surviving groups joined forces and re-emerged as an urban guerrilla organization called the Sect, and the situation changed dramatically. [Music] Violent clashes between the Sect and the core special unit of the Capitol Police turned the city streets into an urban
02:16
Speaker A
war zone. [Music] This led to a backlash of enraged public opinion. The special unit and its enemy, the Sect, became increasingly marginalized as society began to look toward the future and the economic prosperity it promised. The special unit, once known as Kerberos
02:45
Speaker A
for their armor and weaponry, fought long and hard as warriors for the nation, but they were now about to face the end of their historic mission. These guardians of public order were about to take their places in the pages of history.
03:04
Speaker A
Foreign. [Applause] [Applause] Number four. Riot situation in progress. Repeat, about three thousand demonstrators occupy. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Foreign. [Music] [Music] [Applause] Where was site security, taking a nap? [Music] A special Molotov cocktails. We've got lots. Give them hell.
05:02
Speaker A
Shibuya Brooks working its way here. Be ready for him. [Music] Foreign. [Music] Pull the line back. Move forward. Get the water cannons over here. Concentrate water. Former, keep them from getting in range of our men. We've just received an urgent report from Unit 2 on
05:57
Speaker A
route to Shibuya. Commander, about 2,000 riders that were headed for Yoyogi Park have shifted course. They're now headed here. They're coming this way. Don't let them link up. Deploy the Battalion on the double. Set up barricades at three points crossing.
06:25
Speaker A
It's an obvious diversion. Without that backup, once the protesters break through the forward line, they'll have no choice but to retreat. And what if the other 2,000 protesters link up with them here? Like oil and fire.
06:38
Speaker A
Look, watch how it's burning. That's no ordinary Molotov. There's magnesium or napalm jelly in those bottles. You think there are Sect members in that group? It's possible. Yes, but there's still no more than a mob. If we fire, they'll
06:50
Speaker A
scatter with the first assault. It would be to our advantage if we could grab a few of these guys in the dragnet, but if we take our time, we'll lose the effect of that first assault. Shall we step in? Even with our
07:01
Speaker A
co-policing arrangement with the local cops, we are not the authority here. Let's wait and see for now. Put it gently and use it well. Foreign. [Applause] Foreign. [Applause] [Applause] Foreign. [Applause] Go on up that way. Get yourself to three
09:12
Speaker A
points. Let's go. [Music] Foreign. Foreign. [Music] [Music] Foreign. [Music] [Music] Foreign. Thank you. [Music] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Haha. [Music] Foreign. [Laughter] [Music] Don't. Why? [Music] What are you doing?
14:00
Speaker A
[Music] Foreign. Foreign. It went off right in front of it. Even with luck on his side, you'd think he'd at least be seriously injured. Thanks to his protective gear, he got away with only a few bruises and a slight concussion.
15:39
Speaker A
That's what they say anyway about last night. That's what I'm here to discuss with you gentlemen. Is this another protest from the local police? Need I remind you, we had a co-policing agreement. They're saying this was a serious violation. Why
15:54
Speaker A
didn't you notify them that we were making a move and run the risk of having the information leaked to act under their very noses without any regard for their jurisdiction and have this happening? It's no surprise they're going to be
16:05
Speaker A
upset. Listen, Anya, this ludicrous co-policing arrangement isn't working at all. Let's just end it. Besides, we're like oil and water. Put the two together and we wind up floating on top like filthy grease. If we did do that, well, just think about the
16:22
Speaker A
vulnerable situation we're in right now. There are people out there who can't wait to bring us down, and they couldn't be more pleased that your special unit botched this whole thing up. You're now a perfect target for them. And maybe so, but
16:33
Speaker A
when you're in the heat of battle, you have to accept that some things can go wrong. These guys know that too. They're only out to make some noise. That's assuming the explosion was inevitable or even an accident. What do you mean by that, Moroto?
16:46
Speaker A
The problem here isn't that the special unit acted last night outside its jurisdiction. The issue here is that we weren't able to contain the situation, and we allowed that guerrilla bomb to go off. Hey Honda, tell me what was his name again?
17:02
Speaker A
Constable Kazuki Fousey. Since completing his basic training in September, he's been attached to a strike platoon. It might have been too much for a rookie to handle. The terrorist who blew herself up, she was a minor, a girl no less.
17:18
Speaker A
It's an old trick of theirs to use women and children. They get them to do the dirty work like transporting guns and explosives, the ones you in public security call Red Riding Hoods. Fact is, we're not dealing with petty criminals
17:29
Speaker A
or cheap thugs making a show of their brutality. They have an extreme commitment to their cause. They're willing to do anything, no matter how vicious and underhanded. It's all the same to these people, anything to attain their ends. Also, they completely refuse
17:43
Speaker A
to see themselves as the criminals they are. Those are the people we're dealing with. That goes without saying. Whatever happened, one of our men broke under pressure and must take responsibility. Now, the specifics of this incident and the
18:01
Speaker A
issue of punishment are a matter to be taken up now by the internal board of inquiry. Uh, we agreed. Make sure it's all done through proper channels. What do you mean? Perhaps it's nothing, but I've heard rumors that there's a
18:16
Speaker A
rogue organization within the special unit. Don't be stupid. Uh, yes, the Wolf Brigade. Well, I'm sure it's nothing more than a rumor. Can we stick to the subject, please? So, Anya? All right then, I'll leave it to you.
18:35
Speaker A
Although we failed to give the local police their advance notice, at least they'll be able to save face if we punish someone for it. But be careful. Wow, hold on. I'll send someone with you. There are terrorists now to get people like us. Hmm.
18:55
Speaker A
No, I'll pass. A special unit escort would make me all the more conspicuous. Yes, I suppose it would. Could you have my car around the back? Foreign. State your name and unit. Constable Kazuki Fousey, second company, a scientist
19:41
