Section 9 follows their lead and heads to Etorofu where Kuze is to make a deal with the Russians for nuclear materiel.  Motoko pays a visit to an old acquaintance who, she finds out, has fallen victim to an attack barrier.  She gets information from his computers stored on floppy discs that contain records of plutonium transactions.  The last buyer listed was a group of Asian refugees.  Trying to head off the deal, Section 9 head to the exchange point.  They arrive just after the exchange and find armored suits have pinned Kuze and his men down.  The Tachikomas join the fray and are eventually able to disable the suits.  Batou heads out after Kuze and finally gets him in his sights.
