The flooded sub base reveal had my head spinning. I did not expect an illegal gold reserve buried under an old submarine site

Episode Context

Following Episode 4, 'Robot Rondo,' which examined crimes tied to personal-service androids, this episode shifts the focus to a broader geopolitical and military-security case, expanding the scope of what Section 9 is asked to handle. It functions as a self-contained escalation, demonstrating the team's reach beyond domestic cybercrime. The season then continues forward into the next standalone case, 'Dumb Barter,' keeping the anthology rhythm intact.
