The lights turned off
You can die where you are,
or become an accomplice.
You can't go back now.
Forced out by the world
"Terror in Resonance"
On top of an outrageously thin needle
Trying to find my balance
The tip of my finger touches you
And I know I'm not alone
With the single bent wing we were given
From when I was born
(Until I die)
I'll ask what you want to do
Because your smile is like that of an angel
In the heat of summer
(Getting distorted)
Out of the gaps between
the cluster of burning buildings
We fall down
I'll pull (I'll pull)
The last trigger (last trigger)
Winter covers everything
We're at the scene of the bombing.
The police have concluded that this was
not an accident, but an act of terror,
and have announced that they will do
everything they can to find the truth.
Do you know how many
times I texted you, Lisa?
Why do you make me worry like that?
Sorry
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
--No
--It's true!
It is, isn't it, Lisa! Tell me the truth!
No
You're trying to run away
from me, too, aren't you?
Like your father?
That's what you're doing, isn't it?
Hey, wait just a minute! Lisa!
At that time
I was scared.
But what really scared me
You can't go back now.
were those foreboding words.
"Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office Building
Bombing Response Headquarters"
"Tokyo Metropolitan Government
Office Building Bombing"
Can those in the back hear?
--Yes, we can hear.
--Yes, it's fine.
Good work, everyone.
"Bombing Response Headquarters"
"Police Department Cybercrime Division"
I'm Kurahashi, chief of the
First Investigation Division.
I'd like to start by hearing updates
from the different departments.
First, let's hear from Director
Shimada about the casualties.
Thank you.
Before the government office building
collapsed, the fire alarm went off,
and everyone in the building evacuated,
so fortunately, there were no fatalities.
There were 27 injured,
but they were all minor injuries.
Thinking about the scale of the incident,
these are very low numbers.
Now, we'll have Division Chief Kinoshita
from the cybercrime division.
Thank you.
Here is a report on the video that the
suspects allegedly uploaded to a video site
before the incident.
They used an anonymity software
called Tor when accessing the Internet,
so it is effectively impossible
to determine their IP address.
Excuse me, my name is Hamura
from the First Investigation Division.
From watching the video,
it seems the suspects are just boys,
but there's no way to tell if the declaration
itself was real or not, is there?
We are currently further analyzing the video.
Next, we have Okano, head of
the special investigation team,
to report on the surveillance video
from the Tokyo government office.
Yes, at this point, we have not found
anyone that looks like the suspects.
Because of the large-scale blackout that
occurred about two hours before the incident,
"Blackout (Security cameras offline)"
"Attack occurs (Fire starts)"
the cameras stopped for a period of time,
and it is believed that they placed the bombs
"Blackout (Security cameras offline)"
"Attack occurs (Fire starts)"
"2 hours"
"Backup generators start up"
in the 25 minutes it took for
the backup generators to kick in.
"25 minutes"
"Backup generators start up"
Excuse me. Is it possible that the suspects
were also behind the blackout itself?
The special investigation team
is following up on that.
We are also investigating the people involved
with the crane accident that caused the blackout.
Finally, we have Section
Chief Hamada from forensics.
Please give us your professional
opinion about the bomb.
Yes, well before that,
let me talk about the structure
of the Tokyo government office.
The pillars that support the frame of the
building are four times thicker than usual,
and are called "super pillars"
for their strength.
It is impossible to destroy
these using standard bombs.
Does that mean these were not normal bombs?
An on-site investigation detected a chemical
reaction called the thermite reaction.
The thermite reaction?
Is that unusual?
No, on the contrary, it is said
to be extremely common.
It's used everywhere to weld metal.
"Thermite reaction"
To put it very simply,
if a mixture of iron oxide and
aluminum powder is ignited,
it produces a large amount of heat,
up to 3000 degrees Celsius.
That is higher than the melting point
of iron or concrete, and can melt either.
This substance is also much
easier to obtain than gunpowder.
So you're saying they used
that to melt the pillars?
Most likely.
That is what set off the fire alarms.
Then, the water from the sprinklers
started a phreatic explosion.
I believe that was when the pillars could
no longer support the weight of the building,
and the building collapsed.
There have not been many terrorist attacks
that used this method in the past.
If they were able to plan for even
the phreatic explosion in advance,
the bombers must be extremely intelligent.
Hm
However
There's just one thing I can't figure out.
What is it?
There was one TNT bomb that was used.
It couldn't have been necessary
to collapse the building,
so I tried reconstructing the TNT bomb, but
Is that even possible?
It is with TNT.
And on the TNT, I found letters that looked
like they had been written by the bombers.
Letters?
Yes, these.
The letters, V-O-N.
I can't believe the Public Safety
Bureau is letting the First Division
spearhead a terrorist investigation.
That's because in the worst-case scenario,
both the media and the police department
want to be able to cover it up.
V-O-N.
Yes.
If it's connected to that incident
The citizens will panic.
In addition, we must consider the fact that they
are probably not an existing terrorist group.
There's that, too.
The Public Safety Bureau thinks the First
Investigation Division should cooperate indirectly.
And depending on what happens,
they want to lay the responsibility on us?
Hey Nine, did you see the news?
The one about the appearance
of the Japanese Unabomber?
Yeah, that one! I wanted to be
compared to Kenji Sawada, though.
What about that girl?
You mean Lisa Mishima?
Yeah.
You worried about her?
Well, I don't think she
has the guts to report us.
But Nine, why did you use the word
"accomplice" when you were talking to her?
I was just trying to keep her from talking.
That's all?
Who's going this time?
Hm rock, paper--
Scissors!
"Roppongi Police Station"
Hello. I'm making a delivery
from the Choujyuan noodle shop.
Oh, just bring it in.
Thank you.
I really wanna try that ramen shop.
You're doing a crossword at
a time like this, Shibazaki?
The First Division looks like
they're in trouble, you know.
Well, it doesn't have anything to do
with us here in the archives, though.
You're just messing around
on the Internet, aren't you?
Hey, what's "the instant pork ramen
from 1987 that was reissued recently"?
Man, you shouldn't assume all
fat people are experts on carbs.
It's the Toppa Chikara Kusa Yantsuki Ramen.
Let's see T-O-P
And I'm not messing around.
I'm secretly trying to
figure out Sphinx's next move.
Huh?!
I-It's here! A new video!
It's here! It's them!
"Sphinx Riddle Time"
I'm Sphinx Number 1.
I'm Number 2, and I love explosions.
Did you enjoy the fireworks at
the Tokyo government office?
Those were from our handmade bombs.
Kururin worked hard, too!
But this is only the beginning.
We plan to set the second
bomb in the near future.
So, everyone--especially
those of you from the police--
Here's a riddle for you.
What?
What first walks on two legs, then on
four legs, and finally on three legs?
If you solve the riddle,
then the next bomb is yours!
Good luck!
This is terrible.
The First Division guys won't
be able to go home for a while.
"Terror in Resonance"
"Tokyo Government Building Incident"
"Only 27 with minor injuries - Miraculous"
"In order to solve the riddle,
the police department is"
What are they playing at with this riddle?
These kids need to stop
underestimating adults!
They might just be using
kids as their mouthpieces.
Besides, even if they are the masterminds
It'll be trouble if we let those
kids use bombs as playthings.
Director Kurahashi.
The suspects call themselves "Sphinx,"
pronouncing it with a "P" sound,
not an "F" sound.
This is the Greek pronunciation,
not the Egyptian pronunciation.
Sphinx
It is a monster that appears in the
well-known Greek myth of Oedipus Rex.
Oedipus's father, Laius, was told by an
oracle that he would be killed by his son,
so he abandoned Oedipus in
the forest right after he was born.
However, Oedipus survived
and grew into an adult,
and in a series of strange events, ended up
killing his father according to the prophecy.
Of course, he did not know that
he had killed his real father.
And then, Oedipus married the king's wife,
"The Tragedy of Oedipus Rex"
but she was Oedipus's mother.
When Oedipus learned the truth--
That he had killed his own father
and married his own mother--
"Woah!"
"pant" "pant"
"I love you, Jocasta."
He could not bear the guilt,
and in order to punish himself,
he gouged out his own eyes and became blind.
Whatcha readin'?
Oh, uh um
Oh?
U-Um, Hisami, why are you here?
Are you keeping tabs on me?
--Let me teach you a trick.
--Huh?
First, make a blend of
half cola and half green tea.
Then, when you put this guy in, it's the best!
Mentos green tea cola!
H-Hey, wait!
Oedipus went to visit the country
of his father, whom he had killed.
There, he was confronted by the monster,
the Sphinx, who was blocking his way.
The Sphinx gave riddles to
the people who came by,
and ate them if they didn't
give the correct answer.
What kind of riddle did the Sphinx give?
What walks on four legs in the morning,
on two legs in the afternoon,
and on three legs in the evening?
That's right. lt's similar to the riddle given
by the two calling themselves the bombers.
Wh-What's the answer?
Man.
Man?!
I see, babies crawl on four legs, but walk
on two legs once they become adults,
and then the elderly use canes,
which makes three legs!
Right. Morning, afternoon, and night
represent stages in a man's life.
How is that related to the
next bomb that has been set?
Man Humans
A busy shopping district
where a lot of people gather?
Do you think those numbers
correspond to an address?
Like 4th Street, building 2-3 or something?
A place that corresponds
with that address would be
Oh, there's a DNA research facility in Minato!
"Wangan DNA Research Facility"
Humans and DNA That has to be it!
All right, let's prepare a search warrant.
I'll go, too.
What?
--All right, we're counting on you.
--Yes, sir!
Here we are at the scene--
The DNA research facility where police have
been arriving one after another for some time.
Is the bomb set by the Bomb Devils
really in this building?
Hm?
Shibazaki?
Oh good, you haven't changed your number.
I've been thinking about the bombers' riddle.
Will you hear me out?
Of course. You haven't changed a bit.
Right
It refers to the story of Oedipus.
Yeah, the answer is "man."
No, that's the answer to one
of two riddles that existed.
Two riddles?
There's another version of the Oedipus story
In that version, it was two legs in the morning,
four in the afternoon, and three in the evening--
In other words, a 2-4-3 progression.
2-4-3?! Then the answer isn't "man" anymore!
What's the answer to that riddle?
The answer is Oedipus himself.
Oedipus himself?
He started off as a man with two legs,
but after killing his father and
having intercourse with his mother,
he fell to the level of a beast,
so to speak, and had four legs.
In the end, he gouges out his own eyes,
becoming blind and needing a cane to walk.
That gives him three legs.
Watch out!
E-Excuse me!
"No entry" "Road closed"
You're an accomplice,
but you're not one of us.
This is what those guys said:
"So, everyone, especially those of you
from the police, here's a riddle for you."
So in other words,
they probably mean the bomb is
where the police themselves are.
The police?!
"Metropolitan area police station 2-4-3"
And if that number sequence is an address,
then the corresponding police
station within the city is
"Call"
Roppongi Police Station.
So, you know
If you make one false move, I'll kill you.
"Police Station"
What?!
An explosion in Roppongi?!
What is the meaning of this?
Shibazaki, Roppongi was--!
I was too late
Director Kurahashi!
There was an explosion at Roppongi Station!
This is a direct challenge to the police force!
Hamura! You are to head
to Roppongi immediately!
Yes, sir!
Shibazaki, what I'm going to tell
you next is highly confidential.
Six months ago, plutonium was stolen from
a nuclear fuel reprocessing facility in Aomori.
The two criminals vanished into thin air,
but left a message at the scene of the crime.
It had the same letters as
what was written on the bomb
from the bombing of the
Tokyo government office.
Don't tell me
That's right.
I think these guys are serious about
picking a fight with this country.
Come back, Shibazaki!
Hurry. I'm waiting.
Will anyone sprinkle the ocean over my head?
I want to be showered by
submerged fish and sun
The brilliant unknown
The magic that disappears when I stumble
As if looking at the cracked
sky through a glass slide
On the roof of an abandoned building
Surrounding the murmur of down feathers
We are a song
Clad in the throbbing
Of the light decorating the ashen ground
We are a bouquet
Wings pulled out
