(The police officer picks up the intercom speaker.)

Officer: Calling all units; I need back-up on Shirigawa Blvd in downtown Kyoto, near a rundown warehouse. It seems the suspect has hostages in his possession. Again, I need back-up on Shirigawa Blvd, located in downtown Kyoto. All units, be advised. The suspect may not be alone. Over and out.

(Police officer puts the intercom back in its holder.)

Kiara: Are you sure this is safe? Will Hiyoshi and Miyuki be safe? Please…I want my baby to be safe and back in my arms as quickly as possible.

Officer: Don’t worry, ma’am. Everything will be fine. We won’t let anything bad happen to them.

Kiara: Oh…okay…

Officer: Ok, Ms…?

Kiara: Okonè. Kiara Okonè.

Officer: Ms. Okonè…I need for you to stay in the -----

Kiara: (interrupting) ---oh, HELL NO! I am NOT STAYING IN ANOTHER CAR AGAIN! YOU CAN JUST FORGET IT!

Officer: Look, we cannot risk your safety. I will need for you to stay here. Final answer, no buts.

Kiara: Fine. But you had better bring Hiyo and Miyuki back in one piece, you hear me?

Officer: Yes, ma’am. Now stay here and stay put.

Kiara: (sighing) Be careful.

(Kiara stays in the car.)

(After a few minutes, the reinforcements arrive near the headquarters.)

(The reinforcements get into two group, by the officer’s commands: One to infiltrate the warehouse from the back, and the other for standby.)

[Scene where Ashley and Hiyoshi are in the storage room.]

Ashley: That’s enough. Turn off transmission.

(One of the other girls goes over to the camera. But just as she is about to do so, the door in the corner is kicked open. Immediately, a smoke grenade is thrown into the room. It goes off, with a smokescreen filling the room.)

[At the street where Kiara is stationed]

Officer: Steady, men. Wait for the signal…

(The officer sees smoke coming from the back of the building.)

Officer: …NOW!

[At the scene of the break-in at the back of the warehouse]

Ashley: What the hell?!

One of the girls: Gah! Wha-?!

Ashley: What the hell is going on here? I can’t see a thing! DAMMIT!

(One of the reinforcements charge in and tackle Ashley)

Ashley: God! How the hell—

Reinforcement: -- SHUT UP!

Ashley: Gah! Get off me!

Reinforcement: SILENCE! BY LAW OF THE KYOTO POLICE, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT! ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN OR WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN THE COURT OF LAW! DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS?

Ashley: Y-yessir.

[Back at the entrance of the Warehouse]

Tatsuya: What the hell?! Why are there police out there? Dammit, Hatsumo! Why did you have to take the patrol car?!

Hatsumo: I’m sorry, boss! I just thought of something to keep the hostages in and KEEP them in. I didn’t think that it would make a difference.

Tatsuya: …Well…did you happen to think that it would look even a tad bit suspicious?! WHATEVER!

(Tatsuya picks up his walkie-talkie)

Tatsuya: ASHLEY! WE HAVE A BREACH IN OUR PLANS! DO AWAY WITH THE HOSTAGE!

(Tatsuya waits for a few seconds)

Tatsuya: ASHLEY! ARE YOU THERE?!?!..........Dammit…what is going on here?!

(The police officer runs toward the scene)

Tatsuya: Well, don’t just stand there! SHOOT THEM!

(The Nazis pull out their glocks and start firing)

Officer: SHIELDS UP!

(The officer’s team holds up their shields as they continue to run towards the headquarters.)

(Tatsuya looks frantically around for cover.)

Tatsuya: (looking at Miyuki) Well, babe. Looks like you will come in use after all!

(Tatsuya grabs a hold of Miyuki and pulls her over to him and puts a gun against her head.)

Tatsuya: DON’T SHOOT! I HAVE A HOSTAGE!

(Officer stops and orders a halt to his approach.)

Officer: Guns down, men.

(Tatsuya laughs hysterically)

Tatsuya: Haha…HAHAHAHAHAHA! NOW WHAT? I GOT YOU GUYS RIGHT WHERE I WANT YOU! YOU WOULDN’T DARE SHOOT ME WHEN I HAVE A HOSTAGE!

(A familiar voice appears from behind Tatsuya.)

Familiar voice: No…but I would!

(Hiyoshi pulls out a gun that he picked up from the warehouse storage room. He points the gun at Tatsuya’s back and shoots.)

Tatsuya: What th--?! AGH!

(Tatsuya loses grip of Miyuki and stumbles, and falls to his knees, then to the ground.)

(Tatsuya’s last words)

Tatsuya: I-I never thought that (coughs up blood) I’d be taken down by such a weakling…

(Tatsuya dies)
