1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,240
I'm a soldier, znatchit ya...
I'm a soldier, and that means...
2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,510
...i otvetchik i sud'ya
...that I am both defendant and judge.
3
00:00:14,510 --> 00:00:19,910
Ya stoyu na dvuh kontsah ognya
I stand at both ends of the fire.
4
00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:24,310
Ogibaya virazhi,
Leaning into the curves,
5
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:27,650
obgonyaya smert' i zhizn',
overtaking life and death,
6
00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:33,180
ya begu srazit'sya s ten'yu lzhi
I'm running to fight the shadow of lies.
7
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,790
Skol'ko b nitej ne plyol obman,
No matter how tangled the web of deception is woven,
8
00:00:39,930 --> 00:00:47,300
pokazhet lik sveta istina...
truth will always illuminate the outline of the light...
9
00:00:48,170 --> 00:00:51,380
Save your tears for the day...
10
00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:54,680
...when the pain is far behind.
11
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,870
On your feet, come with me.
12
00:00:57,870 --> 00:01:01,320
We are soldiers, stand or die.
13
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,490
Save your fears, take your place.
14
00:01:04,490 --> 00:01:07,590
Save them for the Judgment Day.
15
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,020
Fast and free, follow me.
16
00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:15,730
Time to make the sacrifice.
17
00:01:15,730 --> 00:01:22,790
We rise or fall...
18
00:01:36,850 --> 00:01:41,260
{\an8}This afternoon, Prime Minister Kayabuki
made an inspection tour of Dejima Camp,
19
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:43,350
{\an8}Kyushu's refugee
residential district.
20
00:01:43,690 --> 00:01:46,160
{\an8}The Prime Minster's inspection
of Dejima is her first...
21
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,760
{\an8}...since the announcement of the repeal
of the Refugee Special Action Policy,
22
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:56,440
{\an8}but the current state of affairs is one in which
arise in refugee protests will be unavoidable...
23
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,210
{\an8}...against this rash course of action which relies
on radical legal reforms that are not yet in place,
24
00:02:02,210 --> 00:02:05,410
{\an8}such as finding work for the refugees
who are about to lose their livelihood,
25
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:06,660
Prime Minister Tours "Dejima Camp" Refugee District in Nagasaki
26
00:02:05,410 --> 00:02:07,010
{\an8}and whether they will be issued
Japanese passports.
27
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,750
{\an8}And now for the financial news.
As was recently announced-
28
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:24,430
Refugee Liberation Organization
29
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,480
This is a copy of a letter
that was found in a bouquet...
30
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,410
...that was received by the Prime Minister
during her inspection tour.
31
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,550
We don't have the
crime lab report yet,
32
00:02:39,550 --> 00:02:42,310
but they say it's unlikely that they'll get
any fingerprints or anything off of it.
33
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:47,120
A threatening letter hinting that the Prime
Minister will be assassinated, hm?
34
00:02:48,190 --> 00:02:49,920
So, what is this mark?
35
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,920
We don't know. We thought that
you might know something.
36
00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:59,390
From the looks of it, I'd say that it's a proper
noun for an organization or some such.
37
00:02:59,670 --> 00:03:03,540
Right. The truth is that among the various acts
of terrorism that the National Police Agency...
38
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:09,610
...have been keeping their eyes on since
that takeover of the Chinese embassy,
39
00:03:09,610 --> 00:03:13,570
we've already found seven cases of an identical
logo being used in the claims of responsibility.
40
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,840
We've also recently discovered it on a
letter threatening Nanyou Shimbun Press...
41
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:21,590
...and in that assassination warning
to the Prime Minister.
42
00:03:22,290 --> 00:03:25,260
Do the nine cases have
anything in common?
43
00:03:25,530 --> 00:03:27,860
We haven't found
anything so far.
44
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:29,960
Admittedly, there was a
miscommunication of information...
45
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,630
...between the prefectural police officers
in charge of the various cases,
46
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:37,590
but the criminal motive and ideological
background of each was slightly different.
47
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,030
And most importantly, the contents of each
letter had the air of an independent crime.
48
00:03:43,510 --> 00:03:46,850
But now that we've noticed that they
have that logo in common,
49
00:03:46,850 --> 00:03:50,750
we are rushing to designate this series
of events as a Nationwide Serious Crime.
50
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:53,950
Is there any possibility of this being
a thrill crime or a copycat crime?
51
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,390
At this point, we don't
think that's possible.
52
00:03:56,390 --> 00:04:01,050
Only a handful of people know about
that logo, even inside the police force.
53
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,100
It's never been mentioned
in our press releases, either.
54
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:07,840
If what you say is true, the only other
explanation is that all nine must be...
55
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,070
...multiple, simultaneous terrorist attacks by a
single group in the guise of independent crimes.
56
00:04:11,310 --> 00:04:14,680
This is the opening stages of an act
of terrorism of the"Laughing Man" type...
57
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,240
...that's utilizing some sort
of information as a medium.
58
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:21,750
At any rate, it's not in our best interests
for the Prime Minister...
59
00:04:21,750 --> 00:04:24,240
...to be prevented from performing
any more of her public duties.
60
00:04:24,450 --> 00:04:25,980
And the Prime Minister's
health?
61
00:04:26,290 --> 00:04:30,120
That's just a cover story we fed
to the media to distract them.
62
00:04:30,690 --> 00:04:37,650
The Prime Minister doesn't want this death
threat to be mentioned in the media at all.
63
00:04:38,170 --> 00:04:40,740
And that is where you
and your team come in.
64
00:04:40,740 --> 00:04:44,230
You're saying that you want Section 9 to provide
personal protection for the Prime Minister?
65
00:04:44,470 --> 00:04:46,100
You catch on quickly.
66
00:04:46,610 --> 00:04:50,440
Commissioner, could you provide us with
the original copy of the death threat, as well?
67
00:04:50,650 --> 00:04:53,110
We'll handle the search
for the criminals.
68
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:56,550
All we need you to do is to see to
the Prime Minister's security.
69
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,010
And to keep the media in the dark, refrain from
doing anything that would attract attention.
70
00:05:04,090 --> 00:05:07,250
Major. Assemble everyone at
the Prime Minister's residence.
71
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,970
So in other words, you're telling us
to be the Prime Minister's babysitters.
72
00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:33,350
So, what's your take
on this case, Chief?
73
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:37,420
I suppose we can't write this off
as some faddish copycat crime.
74
00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:43,100
The threat is a warning to the Prime Minister for
repealing the Refugee Special Action Policy,
75
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:46,160
which the previous administration
enacted as a temporary legislation.
76
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,340
And with there being no progress
on the refugee issue...
77
00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:51,410
...after all the protests and their chants of,
"End the discrimination! Set the refugees free!"
78
00:05:51,410 --> 00:05:55,740
They're calling it an act of treason
against the people,
79
00:05:55,740 --> 00:05:57,900
and that they're going
to execute her for it, right?
80
00:05:58,450 --> 00:06:00,710
What they're saying is
completely inconsistent!
81
00:06:01,150 --> 00:06:04,910
The police may say that all these crimes
were committed by the same organization,
82
00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:07,620
but at this point, I don't see
how they could be.
83
00:06:08,590 --> 00:06:12,490
If it weren't for the fact that they
have this logo in common, I'd agree.
84
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:17,090
Although I can't completely trust what
the Commissioner General said,
85
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:21,870
considering that a series of criminal notices
bearing this logo were issued,
86
00:06:21,870 --> 00:06:24,600
we have no choice but to operate
on that assumption.
87
00:06:24,910 --> 00:06:27,310
A stand alone complex...
88
00:06:29,980 --> 00:06:33,570
I have to admit, this does resemble
the Laughing Man incident.
89
00:06:37,950 --> 00:06:41,650
At the moment, our objective isn't to
determine the truth behind the crimes.
90
00:06:42,190 --> 00:06:44,660
Focus all your efforts on guarding
the Prime Minister.
91
00:06:45,130 --> 00:06:48,200
But at the same time, I also want you
to investigate the death threat and the logo...
92
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,360
...to identify the criminal or
criminal group that is behind this.
93
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:56,660
Batou, Saito, and Paz, you're with me
on the Prime Minister's security.
94
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,060
Togusa, you work the logo and death threat
angles with Ishikawa and Borma.
95
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,570
Roger.
96
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:12,440
As for Prime Minister Kayabuki,
who took a sick day yesterday,
97
00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:15,880
she was back in high spirits again today
as she held an extraordinary Cabinet session.
98
00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:20,060
However, with a budget committee meeting
looming just a few days away...
99
00:07:20,290 --> 00:07:22,300
...and no sign of developments in the
still-unsettled refugee policy in sight,
100
00:07:22,530 --> 00:07:26,860
Japan's first female Prime Minister has lost the
luster she had when she formed her Cabinet,
101
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:28,800
and her expression has seemed
to have clouded over, as well.
102
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,670
So, there has been no reaction
to my death threat.
103
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,940
I see that living up to your ideals
has been a heavy burden for you,
104
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:39,680
paying lip service for a brief time
to the liberation of the refugees...
105
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440
...while at the same time
doing nothing about it.
106
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,620
I will spur you on by meting out a
punishment you so richly deserve.
107
00:07:49,420 --> 00:07:50,690
However...
108
00:07:51,630 --> 00:07:55,320
I must see to it that my rendezvous with her will
be a special one, for it will never come again.
109
00:07:58,270 --> 00:07:59,890
Once an action
is undertaken,
110
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:03,770
withdrawing without completing one's
objective cannot be tolerated.
111
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:10,170
But an ideal that acted upon with no
objective in mind is doomed to failure,
112
00:08:11,050 --> 00:08:12,670
and you will be foiled.
113
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,040
I am a man
with a motive.
114
00:08:16,980 --> 00:08:20,610
The Individual Eleven.
115
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,540
This makes eight cases...
116
00:08:35,540 --> 00:08:38,100
You could have someone else
do that for you, sir.
117
00:08:39,170 --> 00:08:41,510
You caught me with my hand
in the cookie jar.
118
00:08:42,180 --> 00:08:44,800
This is something that I do
because I enjoy it.
119
00:08:45,810 --> 00:08:48,720
I'm reinforcing my memory by
acquiring printed information...
120
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:55,350
...so that I'll be able to rattle off effective
ideas on the spur of the moment.
121
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,720
Yes?
122
00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:00,380
Intel sent to us
from the Secretariat, sir.
123
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:08,800
Well, well. Some strange
elements have sprung up.
124
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:10,340
Threatening to assassinate
the Prime Minister...
125
00:09:10,340 --> 00:09:12,400
...means that we've got another
audacious one on our hands.
126
00:09:12,940 --> 00:09:15,310
Don't they know anything
about him?
127
00:09:15,510 --> 00:09:18,570
The police haven't managed
to identify the culprit yet.
128
00:09:18,750 --> 00:09:20,810
Why am I not surprised?
129
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,010
What are they doing
about her security?
130
00:09:23,250 --> 00:09:25,180
Public Security Section 9
has been put on it, apparently.
131
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,010
Section 9?
132
00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:29,320
With them on the case, I suppose
we don't have anything to worry about.
133
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,790
We can't have her actually
getting assassinated, now can we?
134
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:35,620
All right, I'll assign someone
to tail the Prime Minister, too.
135
00:09:36,330 --> 00:09:39,270
Find out who issued
this death threat.
136
00:09:39,570 --> 00:09:44,400
If it looks like he's going to fall into Section 9's
hands, we'll step in and reel him in here.
137
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:45,900
Understood, sir.
138
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,350
Major? You don't seem
very gung-ho about this.
139
00:10:00,590 --> 00:10:03,110
Really? Must be because
I'm on my period.
140
00:10:04,430 --> 00:10:06,050
Quit joking around.
141
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,590
What do you think
of our missions lately?
142
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,760
As I recall, we were supposed to be
an anti-crime offensive organization.
143
00:10:13,270 --> 00:10:16,200
Even if there has been a death threat
against the Prime Minister,
144
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,410
having our hands tied like this
ain't my idea of a good time.
145
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:20,910
Are you fed up?
146
00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:23,710
What I'm getting at is,
are you feeling that way?
147
00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:26,340
I'm not sure.
Maybe.
148
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,130
Doesn't look like there's ever
been a group that's part of...
149
00:10:43,130 --> 00:10:46,460
...the Refugee Liberation Organization
that's used a logo identical to this one.
150
00:10:46,970 --> 00:10:50,990
We don't even know how you're
supposed to read this thing.
151
00:10:51,310 --> 00:10:54,430
Come on, people, use something that
outsiders could at least read your name off of.
152
00:10:55,010 --> 00:10:57,880
"Vengeance," "infinity,"
and "samurai"...
153
00:10:58,610 --> 00:11:02,140
It does sorta hint at an
ideological background, but still...
154
00:11:02,820 --> 00:11:06,340
Maybe they're just using
an existing motif.
155
00:11:07,090 --> 00:11:08,250
As in?
156
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:09,610
Lemme think...
157
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,600
Literature handed down by great historical
figures. The title of a play or movie.
158
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,790
Or a trademark that represents a person or
organization that figured in historical events...
159
00:11:20,270 --> 00:11:21,830
I see where
you're going.
160
00:11:30,340 --> 00:11:31,570
Hey, I found it.
161
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,970
Says here that it's supposed to
be read "The Individual Eleven."
162
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:39,020
It's the title of a collection of essays on
revolutions written half a century ago.
163
00:11:39,150 --> 00:11:40,350
Put it up
over here.
164
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:43,690
"Reflections on Nations
and Revolutions:"
165
00:11:43,690 --> 00:11:47,700
"Collected Preliminary Essays on Revolution,"
by Patrick Sylvestre.
166
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:49,750
Oh, I've read
this before.
167
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:51,900
"Collected Essays
on Revolution"?
168
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:55,960
At the time the collection came out, the essays
didn't make much of a splash, though.
169
00:11:56,540 --> 00:12:00,970
"The Rise of the Third Estate,"
"Breaking Free from Domination,"
170
00:12:01,210 --> 00:12:04,440
"A Farewell to Kings,"
"Aspiring Towards Socialism,"
171
00:12:04,610 --> 00:12:07,480
"Eve of the Rapture,"
"Parting Ways With the Gods,"
172
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,840
"Castro and Guevara,"
"Twelve Years of Nihilism,"
173
00:12:11,050 --> 00:12:13,490
and "A Return to Principles."
174
00:12:13,490 --> 00:12:18,490
It's a collection of preliminary essays with those
nine, plus a tenth one on the May Revolution...
175
00:12:18,490 --> 00:12:23,400
...which he saw firsthand and which kindled
his own dreams of being a revolutionary leader.
176
00:12:23,730 --> 00:12:28,170
But there are theories that there's an elusive
eleventh essay that the author himself...
177
00:12:28,170 --> 00:12:32,100
...locked away because he didn't consider that
incident that happened in Japan as a revolution.
178
00:12:32,570 --> 00:12:37,010
It's an essay with a story behind it.
"The Individual Eleven."
179
00:12:37,810 --> 00:12:41,040
But there's no records of it
ever being published.
180
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,580
Yeah, and even this data is just information
that was uploaded to the net by hardcore fans.
181
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:54,130
But the thing that we can't overlook is that those
hardcore fans are all fanatical individualists.
182
00:12:54,130 --> 00:12:57,330
A bible for individualists, huh?
183
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,390
Hey, I just remembered!
184
00:13:00,630 --> 00:13:01,570
This logo...
185
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:03,370
During that case with the
runaway GSDA helicopters,
186
00:13:03,570 --> 00:13:05,500
we searched the dead pilot's
apartment, right?
187
00:13:05,810 --> 00:13:06,610
Yeah.
188
00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:10,410
I saw a note with this logo
written on it at his place.
189
00:13:12,150 --> 00:13:16,110
And those people who took over
the Chinese embassy...
190
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,850
Didn't they also call themselves
The Individual Eleven?
191
00:13:22,890 --> 00:13:23,790
Major!
192
00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:26,080
I see. That's some
interesting information.
193
00:13:26,630 --> 00:13:29,890
But that won't get us any closer
to identifying our perp.
194
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,300
Besides, the police have probably
uncovered that much, too.
195
00:13:33,770 --> 00:13:37,760
Dive deeper and turn up something
that'll identify our man.
196
00:13:38,070 --> 00:13:40,630
I don't care how small
the clue is.
197
00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:42,170
Understood.
198
00:13:43,510 --> 00:13:45,210
Please check the contents.
199
00:13:54,820 --> 00:13:59,490
Think over the meaning of the message
from my newly-awoken comrades.
200
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,960
What is it that makes the bible of my struggle,
"The Individual Eleven," so magnificent?
201
00:14:08,970 --> 00:14:12,500
It is the way the author discussed
the true nature of the May 15th Incident...
202
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:15,430
...by comparing it
to Japanese Noh drama.
203
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:21,310
Even as they scorned all other forms of artistic
expression, Noh theater was the sole art form...
204
00:14:21,580 --> 00:14:23,810
...that was recognized by the warriors
of Japan's feudal period.
205
00:14:24,420 --> 00:14:28,090
This is because, as opposed to many forms of
art, which were nothing more than pretenses...
206
00:14:28,090 --> 00:14:32,350
...whose true nature was to repeat a
predetermined set of actions again and again,
207
00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:37,160
in Noh theater, each performance
is meant to be unique,
208
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,700
so the mental energy put into them is thought to
be exceedingly close to that put into real events.
209
00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:48,970
If a one were to give one's life
as a revolutionary leader,
210
00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:52,470
that life would be sublimated
into something transcendent.
211
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,610
In death, a hero meets his end,
but he gains eternity.
212
00:14:58,750 --> 00:15:05,280
That is what Sylvestre's
"Individual Eleven" tells us.
213
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,300
I'll proceed
with this, then.
214
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:12,600
Very well.
215
00:15:12,730 --> 00:15:14,130
Chief Aramaki.
216
00:15:15,770 --> 00:15:17,830
About tomorrow's schedule...
217
00:15:18,810 --> 00:15:20,910
You needn't worry.
218
00:15:20,910 --> 00:15:24,810
We will make every effort to be unobtrusive
while we accompany you, Prime Minister.
219
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:26,950
Thank you.
220
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:31,040
I'm sorry to involve you
in a personal matter.
221
00:15:34,490 --> 00:15:35,720
Come in.
222
00:15:38,490 --> 00:15:39,460
Chief.
223
00:15:39,790 --> 00:15:41,090
What is it?
224
00:15:44,430 --> 00:15:48,570
This was among the letters and parcels
that came addressed to the Prime Minister.
225
00:15:48,570 --> 00:15:49,970
What is it?
226
00:15:50,070 --> 00:15:52,600
Perhaps it might be best
if you didn't see this.
227
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:56,570
Undue concern for women is what
leads to contempt for them.
228
00:16:01,950 --> 00:16:06,820
It's no use...I can't find anything on
the content of the essay itself.
229
00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:09,850
What was the incident that
was the topic of the essay?
230
00:16:10,290 --> 00:16:13,590
It was on
May 15th, 1932.
231
00:16:13,830 --> 00:16:19,530
That's when some young naval officers,
army cadets, and farmer sympathizers...
232
00:16:19,530 --> 00:16:23,660
...took radical action while caught up in
a whirlwind of nation-building fervor.
233
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:28,910
The core figures of the plot assassinated
the Prime Minister at the time,
234
00:16:28,910 --> 00:16:33,810
the result of which was Japan plunging headlong
into an era of dominance by militarists.
235
00:16:34,820 --> 00:16:38,750
Anyway, you can't consider the officers' actions
anything other than heinous acts of terrorism,
236
00:16:38,990 --> 00:16:43,950
but it's what happened afterwards that
symbolically shows the incident's significance.
237
00:16:44,690 --> 00:16:49,250
After the assassination of the Prime Minister, the
eleven young army officers who took part in it...
238
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:51,990
...were put before
a military tribunal,
239
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:55,430
but the trial began to
take a strange turn.
240
00:16:56,370 --> 00:17:00,670
Based on their conviction in their beliefs, the
defendants, who were barely in their twenties,
241
00:17:00,670 --> 00:17:03,780
began to make their statements with tears
in their eyes, declining any defense...
242
00:17:03,780 --> 00:17:05,840
...and saying that they
were prepared to die.
243
00:17:06,250 --> 00:17:09,880
Apparently, when they did this, the judges,
the soldiers of the prosecution,
244
00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:12,080
the press, and the people
in the gallery...
245
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,650
...all found themselves sympathizing with them,
and started crying, too.
246
00:17:17,460 --> 00:17:21,050
What's more, the leniency movement, which had
been unable to see much of the public trial,
247
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:24,890
turned into a mass movement after the
prosecution delivered its closing arguments.
248
00:17:25,330 --> 00:17:28,700
By the time the verdict was handed
down on September 19th,
249
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:31,070
350,000 petitions
had been sent in,
250
00:17:31,540 --> 00:17:36,840
and public opinion, which had been
displaying ultranationalist tendencies,
251
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,610
reached a fever pitch when eleven fingers,
the same as the number of defendants,
252
00:17:40,910 --> 00:17:42,850
were mysteriously delivered
to the courthouse.
253
00:17:43,950 --> 00:17:47,820
After the assassination of the Prime Minister
by those eleven young officers,
254
00:17:48,190 --> 00:17:51,350
a type of nationalism that viewed them
as heroes began to spread.
255
00:17:52,490 --> 00:17:55,890
It's an essay written by an author who
was fascinated by the details of the event.
256
00:17:57,130 --> 00:18:02,570
I bet he strongly identified with the people
involved in the case as he wrote it.
257
00:18:07,870 --> 00:18:09,710
They aren't real.
258
00:18:10,540 --> 00:18:14,140
They were probably cut off of
discarded prosthetic bodies.
259
00:18:16,180 --> 00:18:20,120
Togusa. Eleven severed fingers were just
delivered to the Prime Minister's residence.
260
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:21,590
Track down where
they came from.
261
00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:24,020
Did she just say
eleven fingers?!
262
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,700
Major, we've been working
that essay angle,
263
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:32,560
and just turned up an episode involving eleven
fingers that has to do with the May 15th Incident.
264
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,530
There has to be
something to this.
265
00:18:50,350 --> 00:18:52,250
Thank goodness you
arrived in time.
266
00:18:52,250 --> 00:18:57,320
Many of those who come to us to meditate
have a great affection for that picture.
267
00:18:58,830 --> 00:19:00,350
I'm glad to be
of help.
268
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:20,210
Hey, Zen is not so much
a religion,
269
00:19:20,210 --> 00:19:24,270
but rather a means of freeing human karma
from worldly thoughts, right?
270
00:19:24,750 --> 00:19:29,650
For us, maybe it's something like deleting
data from our cache when it's full.
271
00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:32,480
Maybe that's like that,
plus synchronizing our data.
272
00:19:32,830 --> 00:19:37,320
If that's true, maybe we can link up to someone
who's meditating and download enlightenment!
273
00:19:37,460 --> 00:19:38,490
- Yeah!
- Yeah
274
00:19:59,650 --> 00:20:01,450
The perimeter's clear.
275
00:20:01,820 --> 00:20:04,320
Still, our PM's being
awfully self-centered.
276
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,850
Who in their right mind would go off for some
meditation when somebody's trying to kill them?
277
00:20:08,530 --> 00:20:13,120
And with us not being allowed into the
main temple, this ain't gonna be on my head.
278
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:17,060
I'd say that in her own way, she's fully
aware of the situation she's in.
279
00:20:17,570 --> 00:20:20,670
She wanted to meditate precisely
because it's a time like this.
280
00:20:20,910 --> 00:20:24,540
That's why she also agreed to the
unofficial use of Interceptors, right?
281
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:30,080
Look, I admire her courage and all, but if she's
only gonna let you link with the data...
282
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,730
Righteousness is
on my side.
283
00:21:16,260 --> 00:21:17,460
You will be eliminated!
284
00:21:32,410 --> 00:21:34,880
It's no use.
We have you surrounded.
285
00:21:53,630 --> 00:21:54,730
Tachikoma!
286
00:22:15,690 --> 00:22:17,160
I'm all right.
287
00:22:23,860 --> 00:22:26,160
That was one seriously
reinforced cyborg.
288
00:22:26,830 --> 00:22:29,430
Start with a search of people
affiliated with the military.
289
00:22:29,940 --> 00:22:31,900
I'm sorry about
all this trouble.
290
00:22:32,110 --> 00:22:34,900
If you and your team hadn't been here,
I would probably be...
291
00:22:35,380 --> 00:22:36,670
I'm not so sure.
292
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,310
It's possible that he simply had
no intention of killing you.
293
00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:42,310
294
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,100
Finding out a galaxy...
295
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:16,060
...of planets and stars within me...
296
00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:18,720
Listening to each of them...
297
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,710
...singing the same silent melody...
298
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:26,720
I've never seen such beauty...
299
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,010
In possibility...
300
00:23:30,010 --> 00:23:34,520
No speck of doubt or fear...
301
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,010
Wake up!
302
00:23:36,010 --> 00:23:38,710
I hear a voice,
303
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:42,650
hear a voice calling out to me...
304
00:23:42,650 --> 00:23:45,160
I see inside,
305
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,690
see the light now ever holding me...
306
00:23:48,690 --> 00:23:52,030
All the truth, all I need...
307
00:23:52,030 --> 00:23:56,830
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
308
00:23:56,830 --> 00:24:02,640
The beauty within the shell...
309
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,340
I hear a voice,
310
00:24:05,340 --> 00:24:09,280
hear a voice calling out to me...
311
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,790
I see inside,
312
00:24:11,790 --> 00:24:15,320
see the light now ever holding me...
313
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,660
All the truth, all I need...
314
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:23,460
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
315
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:28,120
Right here within the shell...
