Ziggurat Capture Part 2
Episode Description:
Ignatov and the SAD use a MFA helicopter to attack the drone sniper turret and manage to destroy it, but also set off a series of explosions. Ignatov and Kogami gain entry via the roof where they link up with Kisaragi and Irie, and Shindo updates him on the current situation. Shindo leads Karanomori and Komiya towards the server room and are intercepted by Jackdaw, but they manage to escape with the intervention Ignatov and other detectives including Shinya Kogami. This enables Shindo to escort Komiya and Karanomori to the server room to restore internal communications. Azusawa calls Ignatov and offers a deal to exchange the governor for his wife, but he refuses the deal. Komiya and Karanomori reach the server room, but it is booby trapped with poisonous gas. Karanomori relishes the challenge of beating Azusawa and manages to restore a third of the system, but is knocked out by the gas. Ignatov, along with Irie and Kisaragi arrive and rescue them. Meanwhile, Shindo rescues En Owanee from a fighting robot and deduces that the gas filling the building's lower floors is harmless so he calls Azusawa's bluff. Public Security decides to use Karina's AI doppelganger Ma-Karina to fake her death, though Ignatov secretly sends Ma-Karina's data to Homura at his request. Meanwhile, Shindo "traces" Azusawa and learns that there is a connection with his father.
