## Summary

Olivier meets with the higher ups that tell her that she had orders to take Hayden silently, but she explains that she wants to bring him to justice. The man tells her that her father was one of his victims in the past and he would expected she to want revenge, and suspends her from her position as he had assigned someone else to take care of the situation.

Hayden is about to kill Tokisada, but Juzo and Cronen arrive and Cronen uses his needles on Hayden, but he manages to escape. Meanwhile, Mary guesses that Juzo will soon be out of cigarettes as she couldn't give him the new package this morning. Seeing that Tetsuro calls the guards and uses his Harmony device, planing on taking the cigarettes to Juzo.

Juzo explains to Tokisada that he took a request to capture Hayden and informs him that his other comrades are dead. Juzo asks Tokisada why Hayden may want him dead, but Tokisada says that there are many who target a hero like him, but wonders why would he target his other comrades. Tokisada explains Hayden's disguise ability and that he never failed an assassination, but all that places great pressure on his sub-brain, which in the end caused his rampage. Juzo wonders why Cronen's needles didn't work on Hayden and Cronen explains that he had memorized all the trigger points on all extend parts, but irregular types often have unique trigger points. Cronen informs Juzo of his new orders that tell him to retreat and that Olivier is temporary suspended. Juzo tells him that he had not received any order to drop the request from Olivier and if he indeed captures Hayden and truth comes out, her superiors won't be able to remove her.

When Cronen leaves, Hayden reveals himself and attacks Juzo from behind. He then turns his eyes on Tokisada, but Juzo stands up and engages Hayden in combat, stating its a fight until one of the fries his sub-brain. Juzo manages to cause Hayden sub-brain to overheat and reveal its location on his throat. Hayden attempts to run and Juzo states he puts his trust on Cronen and he will do what he finds is just, no matter what his orders are. Cronen then waits for Hayden to pass by and hits his sub-brain with his needles and stop him. Tokisada realizes that Juzo fought in a damaging way in order to capture Hayden alive and believed that even if he fell, Cronen will capture Hayden, making him realizes that Juzo is dangerous.

Elsewhere, Pepper comments her Harmony device lost control of Hayden and that she fought with another Gun Slave Unit like Seven. She comments she was so close in killing Tokisada, but ended up playing too much. Meanwhile, Olivier get informed that from the three dead men, the third has different cause of death, a hit in the chest that stopped his heart and its like someone who imitated Hayden. Tetsuro arrives and beats Olivier guards, wanting she to take him to Juzo.

Juzo carries Hayden, who awakens and is immediately tranquilized again by Cronen, but before loosing consciousness, he wonders what happened to the war and his comrades. Tokisada then tells them that if the truth is revealed, it will slow the extensions progress and the country would not have prospered. He tells them they can't allow Hayden to reveal the truth and Juzo and Cronen will have to perish here and attacks and knocks out Cronen. Tokisada turns towards Juzo and they clash fists using Funke Faust.
