Chapter 4 - Agent .1

The scene shifts and we see a room where a TV is on, broadcasting the news. We see on the news channel that 40 helicopters are over the city. Suddenly, the scene shifts and we see the Captain of the commandos sitting in a helicopter. One commando says to his Captain, "Sir, no one has ever called the 'Shadow Commandos' before. Who is this person?" The Captain replies, "I don't know either."

Just then, the helicopter lands and the doors open. We see Agent 1. The Captain's eyes fall on his clothes and he immediately realises who he is. As Agent 1 and the Captain stand face-to-face, the commandos take their positions. Agent 1 extends his hand and the Captain shakes it. Agent 1 asks, "You remember the plan, don't you?" The Captain says, "But if we remove the entire company at once..." Agent 1 interrupts, "It won't make a difference; I've already made the arrangements." The Captain is about to speak, but Agent 1 says, "Just watch the show."

We then see reporters covering the entire news story, though they only catch a glimpse of the Captain and Agent 1. We see the commandos carrying out raids in four locations. First, they pump knockout gas into the ventilation of a hotel and other sites. Next, we see the commandos heading into the hotel's underground pipes while the Captain and Agent 1 sit drinking tea. The Captain says, "We should have gone down with them," but Agent 1 replies, "Don't worry, just drink your tea." The Captain wonders to himself what kind of man this is, who has forced the country's ground army into submission. Agent 1 asks, "How do you think I reached this position?" The Captain replies, "I don't know."

Agent 1 says, "Let's check the news." On the channel, they report that the owner of the Skyline Hotel has been captured and is being led out of his building. The Captain notes, "But we haven't found anything on him yet." Agent 1 tells him to check for himself what they found. Soldiers then bring out containers of gold bricks, and they also find 263 kidnapped girls.

The news continues, reporting that Skyline's shares have crashed; they used to be worth millions. They report that enough gold was found to feed the entire country once over.

Finally, we see Agent 1 leaving while the Captain watches him go. As the Agent gets into his car, a woman in the back says, "You did a great job today, we're going to party!" The man driving the car—the "Uncle"—says, "Tell me, friend, three of the most powerful and dangerous people in the country are sitting in one car." A girl named Celeste adds, "I'm here too!" and Leo says, "The party wouldn't be complete without you." Uncle mentions that Dante has been sent to prison. The woman concludes, "And only a few people know about this: the Prime Minister, the President, and the four of us."

Next day

Then the scene shifts, and we see Celeste and Nex sitting opposite each other. Just then, Celeste stands up and says, "I have to leave now." Leo speaks up, saying, "Alright," and Celeste thinks to herself, He agreed so quickly. Nex then tells her, "Come, I'll walk you to the gate." He takes her things from the drawer, and as they walk towards the gate, Celeste hands Nex the plate she was carrying to wash. Just then, the scene shifts and we see Leo, who is back at the table eating a sandwich.

Celeste tells him, "I have to leave now," and Leo replies, "There's some stuff in the drawer over there, take it." He then says, "I have to go first, and now that Leo is watching, I'll walk Celeste to the gate." He returns and says, "Come on, I've got some work to do." He thinks to himself, I've already forgotten that girl's name, and then the scene shifts again to show us a young Leo.
