Avalanche (Abaranchi / アバランチ)

ONE YEAR AGO

Thanks for waiting.

Mr Kirishima.

Habu. long time no see.

Right? Since Mr Fujita's birthday. Isn't it?

Yeah.

Kirishima is going to help us.

Behind the scenes.

There's no turning back.

I know.

Kirishima's work will be slightly different from our other members.

He's Avalanche's trump card.

He'll use his position at CIRO to the fullest. right?

Yes. he is like Oyama's right-hand man now.

He's going to make full use of that.

We're dealing with Mr Oyama.

But I have no idea how much I can do yet.

Indeed. To perfectly deceive him.

We won't be in touch at all in the future.

We won't tell the other members. either.

Habu. only you and I know this.

That means he's Avalanche's joker.

I don't like what you call me.

Why not? We're counting on you.

- Habu. - Yes?

Think of me as the safety line when something happens to you.

I'll prepare an escape route for this operation. just in case.

I won't let another person die.

We must all survive.

That's why I'm here.

Okay.

When everything is over.

let's go out for a drink to celebrate Fujita.

Okay.

"3rd December"

Episode 8. "Collapse"

Takashi, why?

Fujita. what is this about?

Sorry for not telling you.

Why didn't you get in touch if you were alive?

This is going to be a very long story.

You've known the whale time?

Yes.

Since I was recruited by Mr Oyama.

I've been watching your every move.

Why?

Do you mean you're still working for Oyama?

I'm now a member of Kyokuto Research.

I know everything Michiyo and Avalanche have done.

Not telling Kirishima about the operation

after the PMS kidnapping...

was my decision.

Because you two might be working together.

Since when?

Since when have you been on Oyama's side?

You sided with him after the incident?

Under what condition...

could you get over your teammates' death to side with him?

Answer me!

You should know why Yamamori has been doing this till now.

It's for you.

She did everything for you!

I know.

But Avalanche failed.

You two understand as well. don't you?

Takashi

What is your goal?

I will achieve the goal Mr Oyama lays out.

Kirishima. sorry.

let me talk to her alone new.

I expected you to hate me.

But Avalanche did a good job.

Mr Oyama was driven to a corner.

He had to be pretty determined to summon me back.

Takashi...

What on earth happened?

I believe you'll understand if I tell you the truth.

"29th November (4 days ago). 20:00"

Mr Daidoji.

Mr Daidoji.

I've been expecting you.

I'm glad you're okay.

We're completely defeated.

Mr Kirishima is making another plan.

When we all gather together. we'll strike back.

Habu.

Sometimes you need to be brave. and withdraw.

What?

I have prepared your escape route.

You must escape.

Wait a minute.

The plan failed.

We should halt it before there's another victim.

You're telling me to back out of the plan to stop Oyama?

That's right.

An avalanche is surely happening.

For the sake of my dead teammates and Mr Uchi too.

It's totally over if we back out now.

They're else freaking out. we should have a chance to win.

If you admit defeat. there will be another new path.

You're still young.

I want you to live.

Mr Daidoji. what do you want to do?

I'm going to watch Japan's future from here.

I'll fight. even in my own way.

Yes?

You okay?

Yes. I talked to Mr Daidoji.

He told me to abort the operation. but I won't back out.

I see.

Are Makihara and Rina okay?

Yes. don't worry.

But it's possible that

both you and they've been traced from when you left the venue.

- Don't meet them yet. - Okay.

Please call me at once if you get any new information.

Okay.

Wow. he prepared everything.

Yeah. that means we were going to come here. either way.

Yeah.

I'm hungry. Let's eat something.

Yeah.

Today at 2 pm.

An explosion happened on the roof of a shopping centre in Tokyo.

And one man died.

Mr Uchi...

The police concludes that Avalanche committed the bombing.

And put Seiichi Habu

on the nationwide wanted list as the attacks terrorist suspect.

Seiichi Habu is also the suspect of the murder of

the head of the CID of the MPD Kazuhiko Tokura. on 26th November.

Habu is in trouble.

They're blaming him for Tokura's murder. too.

It's a matter of time before they come after us.

- Yeah. - 180 centimetres tall. slim...

"A bomb geek who worked at a ward office?"

"Die. old bomber. Oh. he's dead"

"Spread this old man's face more. The moron will stay in history”

"Uchimoto has no family? I would've killed myself out of embarrassment"

"Yumi Fukumoto: I found a good curry restaurant. let's have lunch"

The atmosphere has been tense since the incident four days ago.

But information is scary.

Why?

I mean. various information from speculation to defamation

have been flying about in the series of events.

I can't get correct information even at the official residence.

Yeah. that's true.

Oh top of that. I even thought Avalanche was cool.

In the end. they're just terrorists.

How can they be?

Sorry.

Saijo. you must be related to Avalanche.

Tell me. if you don't mind.

Sorry.

I can't tell you yet.

When it's all over. I'll tell you properly.

You're probably very confused.

But I want you to think calmly.

You aren't going to change your mind. are you?

No.

Okay.

I expect a favourable answer.

Sorry about just now. I got heated up.

It's okay.

What did Fujita say?

He wants me to disband Avalanche and came back.

I see.

Kirishima.

Did I do the wrong thing?

No. you didn't.

I got Habu and many other people involved.

I lest a teammate...

You don't need to shoulder all the blame.

You brought it up. but we all think of it as our own matter now.

From new on. let each of us make our own decision.

For new. you'd better report Fujita's matter to Mr Daidoji.

Oh...

I have one thing to report.

Fujita. who we thought had died in the bomb attack three years ago.

Is alive.

What?

He's been working for Oyama. secretly.

He probably was trained overseas for the start of his new organisation.

I see.

That means we've been playing into Oyama's hands.

Have you talked to Habu?

Yes.

He believed in his own path. and left.

It's destructive.

But he might change something. I sensed the possibility as well.

Yamamori.

Seems we must say goodbye.

What?

- You'll hold him there. - Mr Daidoji?

Mr Daidoji. are you okay?
