Ghost In The Shell
Season 02
S02E09 - DU: The Hope Named Despair – AMBIVALENCE
After the failed attempt to bring the ex-GSDA officer in for questioning, Kusanagi decides to hack into the Cabinet Intelligence Agency database to directly determine what Goda is up to. With the help of Tachikomas, who mount an assault on the building’s defense barriers, Kusanagi hacks into the Cabinet Intelligence Agency Server Decatonchire to uncover Goda’s motives. During her subsequent meeting with Goda, she learns that he once had ambitions to be counted among the powerful, but has since resigned himself to never having that position. He aims to create a new hero for the masses, someone whom they can identify with beyond simply knowing that person’s face or name. Goda expects this person to take command of the situation he is currently creating and bring about some type of conflict which he believes will benefit Japan in the long run by returning the country to its former glory. Elsewhere, Batou, Borma, and Togusa are out to stop a [[Suicide attack|suicide bomber]], but so far have only been playing catchup, until Batou trusts a hunch and has the Chief check out the local surveillance systems for people thought to be the bombers. His hunch pays off, as the images of the bombers reveal all of them to be refugees, prompting Aramaki to issue warnings to all police districts in the city to watch for refugees acting suspiciously. One such refugee turns up at a subway station claiming she has a bomb. Batou and Togusa arrive to find the woman surrounded by SAT officers. [[Togusa]] has nearly convinced her to surrender when Batou arrives and forcefully subdues the woman by shooting her. It is revealed that the bomb is in her stomach, linked to a trigger inside an artificial tooth, and she is taken to a medical center to have the bomb surgically removed.
