Honey Trap (Honungsfällan)

Eric Paroissien Translation

The South Korean steel company…

is seeking $800 million in damages.

The people involved are being questioned… .

Miyama-San.

Wow, it came out beautifully!

Shall I do your job?

Amazing!

You have the regular meeting at the head office.

Thank you very much.

Good morning. -Good morning.

You went to the lab first? -Sure… there.

A document for Mishima? -Yeah.

The Graphene issue is very sensitive.

And you come from the lab. -(Yukari) Miyahara-San.

I have booked the dinner with Mishima automotive, tonight.

Great… about that other thing…

I'll match it with this article.

They took it from Nichiei server computers' hard disk.

Persons suspected of illegal activity.

Nichiei is in a mess.

This is a blow they won't recover from.

Miyama?

Hi. -(Yukari) Miyama-San.

Director Ando wants to see you.

I'm sorry.

Would you be free today?

We'll have to decide soon. -Okay.

You know who you'll invite? -Yes.

Let's decide today. -Yeah.

Natsumi… Today at 8:00, the usual restaurant.

Sure.

Please come in.

Sorry.

This is Pr. Onodera from Meio University.

I entrust this presentation to your enthusiasm.

Large scale synthesis of high quality Graphene.

Graphene is a carbon atom processed into transparent sheets.

Amazing resilience and electric conductivity.

Touch screens were until now…

silicon-Based, but now…

changing them to Graphene…

information will be processed 100 times faster.

Since Graphene is a transparent circuit.

If you stick it to a window it becomes a tablet…

then a newspaper or a foldable mobile phone.

Wear it as a watch.

Graphene is so strong we could build elevators to satellite stations.

The world is already planning mass production of this miracle material.

A market of about $1,3 billion…

only for Europe in the next 10 years.

South Korea is 350 millions. China 200 millions.

But Japan, only 20 millions.

What can we do if Japan doesn't move forward?

Sowa Chemical has to move forward.

If we could succeed, Sowa Chemical would become a world leader.

For this we thought about teaming you up with Pr. Onodera.

Pr. Onodera will be the advisor of the research team.

We launch a Sowa subsidiary company.

You'll be the development director, you'll start the operations.

No one knew the right ratio of methane vs. Argon…

a groundbreaking discovery.

I'm glad you're doing fine.

Miwako's funeral was 20 years ago, right?

30 years ago.

All that time you devoted to research, was not in vain.

This great achievement honors you.

I'm sorry for the heartache.

Yuichi.

I'm rejoicing in our future cooperation.

Same here.

I can't believe you'll be development director.

Careful! Look… Next, up on your right.

Congratulations… Ah!?

He was the guy leading the research, right? -Right.

If this project succeeds, our lives will be totally transformed.

We'll have our computer in a contact lens…

to watch the news on TV.

Amazing. -Yeah.

But you don't seem to rejoice?!

I met my father today.

I don't know!

Good morning. Mr. Miyama from Sowa.

What we spoke about last time… -Please, excuse me.

I won't defect to Mire-Pacific.

You could at least hear me?

It's not a matter of money. Excuse me.

Hm.

It's always about money.

This is Graphene?

Natsumi-San, have a look here.

This is expanded Graphene.

When processed into a membrane it becomes a sophisticated filter.

It can filter seawater into fresh water.

No way!

This is your access key to our Graphene data.

Without it you can't have access to reports.

The encryption random seed changes every minute.

Graphene is invisible to the naked eye.

Yet it is very material.

There are infinite possibilities.

Just like family ties.

You met again after so many years.

For years I wasn't sure…
