He was more like an outcast. 33 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,190 To tell you the truth, the man's an enigma. 34 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,060 What's that? 35 00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:29,130 It's what Gohda looked like when he was in the DPB. 36 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,670 He was apparently injured in some kind of accident, 37 00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:35,080 but he's keeping the wounds the way they looked back then. 38 00:02:35,980 --> 00:02:38,140 Definitely leaves less of an impression than he does now. 39 00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:39,750 Okay. 40 00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:43,580 Call off the background search for now. We're getting new instructions from the Chief. 41 00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:45,080 - Roger. - Roger. 42 00:02:50,290 --> 00:02:54,730 Oh, man... Straight from an all-nighter to a lunch meeting, huh? 43 00:03:09,310 --> 00:03:12,140 You're probably wondering why I called this emergency meeting. 44 00:03:12,410 --> 00:03:15,150 It is to lay out our policy in regards to a response... 45 00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:18,310 ...to the string of incidents that have been happening lately. 46 00:03:18,590 --> 00:03:21,490 Fine, but I'd like to belt that son of a bitch first. 47 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,950 I agree with him. 48 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,420 The CIS' actions are clearly meant to put pressure on us. 49 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,360 I don't feel like keeping my mouth shut and letting them get away with it a second time. 50 00:03:30,670 --> 00:03:33,570 Relax. I don't like it any more than you do. 51 00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:40,070 Even so, it seems to me that you've been making a lot of trips to see the Prime Minister. 52 00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:45,140 Don't you think it's the P.M. Herself who wants to slap a leash on us? 53 00:03:45,450 --> 00:03:46,720 I find that unlikely. 54 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,520 It's true that she is merely a figurehead who was set up in hopes... 55 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,510 ...of distracting the populace from the previous administration's scandals, 56 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,620 but while she may or may not be a friend, she most certainly is not a foe. 57 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,000 I believe the Major's already conducting an investigation on her own about this, 58 00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:07,260 but there are signs of deliberate information manipulation being carried out at the CIS... 59 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,970 ...regarding the runaway helicopter incident, as well as the plutonium transfer the other day. 60 00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:18,440 At this time, it's uncertain what the CIS is planning to use these incidents for, 61 00:04:18,850 --> 00:04:22,180 but I believe these repeated pressures being brought to bear against us... 62 00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:25,450 ...are actions within the government, which hopes to keep that "something" hidden. 63 00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:28,660 Is that true for the Individual Eleven case, too? 64 00:04:30,130 --> 00:04:33,460 Because they're keeping us away from the investigation... 65 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,290 ...into the attempt on the Prime Minister, which is a serious act of terrorism, 66 00:04:36,370 --> 00:04:38,830 even though we were the ones most closely tied to the case. 67 00:04:41,540 --> 00:04:45,340 If the Prime Minister's a paper tiger and it's the government who's behind this, 68 00:04:45,340 --> 00:04:48,110 we're still gonna be biting the hand that feeds us. 69 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,540 You're gonna do this anyway? 70 00:04:50,850 --> 00:04:52,340 Do you have a problem with it? 71 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,910 I've been waiting to hear you say that. 72 00:04:55,620 --> 00:04:58,890 Very well. Let's get on with the mission briefing. 73 00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:06,800 All of the crimes in this file were committed by various criminal groups... 74 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,360 ...that have called themselves the Individual Eleven. 75 00:05:12,370 --> 00:05:15,740 The illegal siphoning of funds contributed to JNN-TV. 76 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,030 The bombing of a refugee aid association. 77 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,550 Threats made to an NPO that had donated free prosthetic bodies to refugees. 78 00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:29,920 The drowning of a back-alley doctor who specialized in prosthetic bodies. 79 00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:33,820 The death of a net-bank president, who was killed when hit by a train. 80 00:05:35,290 --> 00:05:38,060 The stabbing death of a Democratic Party assemblyman. 81 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,690 The shooting death of Densetsu, the popular cyberbrain-rapper. 82 00:05:43,730 --> 00:05:46,100 Threats made against Nanyou Shimbun Press. 83 00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:50,900 And now, the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Kayabuki. 84 00:05:51,570 --> 00:05:55,610 Of these nine cases, it had been believed that the only one... 85 00:05:55,610 --> 00:05:58,940 ...in which a suspect was spotted was the attempted assassination. 86 00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:04,050 However, one other case has been found in which a possible suspect was spotted. 87 00:06:05,290 --> 00:06:09,950 That's news to me. I thought the National Police Agency refused to disclose any information. 88 00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:15,590 They did. Unlike during the Laughing Man case, they are taking this one quite seriously. 89 00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:19,100 Admittedly, this is creating unnecessary barriers. 90 00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:21,600 This footage didn't come from the police, 91 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,270 but is rather something I obtained personally from an involved party. 92 00:06:25,540 --> 00:06:27,300 From a Nanyou reporter, huh? 93 00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:33,610 That's right. Because of the Nanyou Shimbun's critical stance against the refugee policy, 94 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,420 they've had shots fired into their building by the Individual Eleven on three separate occasions. 95 00:06:38,820 --> 00:06:45,560 And this man showed up on their security cameras on every one of those occasions. 96 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,300 His name is Sho Kawashima. 97 00:06:48,630 --> 00:06:51,870 He started working as a Taiwanese vegetarian cook... 98 00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:55,300 ...at a restaurant near the Nanyou building about a month ago. 99 00:06:55,870 --> 00:06:58,900 I turned up the fact that he used to be an officer in the SDA. 100 00:06:59,410 --> 00:07:00,840 Where'd this intel come from? 101 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:04,970 I sent Military Intelligence his face's structural data and got their assistance. 102 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,240 So in other words, we're on better terms with the military than the police now. Huh? 103 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,020 So, what do you want us to do with this guy? 104 00:07:14,890 --> 00:07:16,530 For starters, take him into custody. 105 00:07:16,530 --> 00:07:19,760 Look for anything of significance hidden in his ideology and background. 106 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,390 At present, we can't prove any connection between the CIS and the Individual Eleven, 107 00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:27,200 but if we unravel the thread of what vector was used... 108 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,910 ...to cause these standalone terrorist groups to appear, 109 00:07:29,910 --> 00:07:32,200 we should also find out what they hope to accomplish. 110 00:07:33,010 --> 00:07:34,500 You might be right. 111 00:07:35,540 --> 00:07:39,740 Batou, Togusa, Saito and Paz, you take Sho Kawashima into custody. 112 00:07:40,350 --> 00:07:43,680 Ishikawa and Borma, you keep digging into Gohda's background... 113 00:07:44,050 --> 00:07:47,320 ...while at the same time investigating the person who attempted to kill the Prime Minister. 114 00:07:47,790 --> 00:07:48,980 Roger. 115 00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:11,340 We're finally acting like ourselves again, 116 00:08:11,850 --> 00:08:14,250 but I can't say that I understand these guys at all. 117 00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:16,880 The Individual Eleven... 118 00:08:17,450 --> 00:08:21,790 The complaints in the other seven cases were all the same old "free the refugees" stuff, 119 00:08:21,790 --> 00:08:23,660 but I don't see anything linking 'em. 120 00:08:24,290 --> 00:08:28,660 Aside from that logo written the letters claiming responsibility, there's no common factor, either. 121 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,500 If this is following the same pattern as the Laughing Man case, 122 00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:35,870 that would make the copycats' original that bunch... 123 00:08:35,870 --> 00:08:38,270 ...that holed themselves up in the Chinese Embassy, wouldn't it? 124 00:08:39,340 --> 00:08:43,070 Well, they were the first ones to call themselves the Individual Eleven... 125 00:08:43,650 --> 00:08:46,510 Yeah, but none of the others have called themselves that. 126 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,610 Even with us, the only reason we know how to read that logo... 127 00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:53,620 ...is that we stumbled across a thinker's essays in the course of investigating the damn thing. 128 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,290 In a standalone-type crime, 129 00:08:56,290 --> 00:09:00,690 the intermediary who provides the motivation isn't necessarily the original, remember? 130 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,600 Yeah, you're right. 131 00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:08,270 I get more of a sense of originality from the bunch that's using this logo, though. 132 00:09:11,310 --> 00:09:15,070 Nasty! What the hell? This is food for cyborgs! 133 00:09:15,210 --> 00:09:17,770 Relax, it won't kill ya. 134 00:09:18,010 --> 00:09:22,950 It's made of 90% gluten, plus a dash of amino acid based micromachines. 135 00:09:25,220 --> 00:09:26,980 Hey.

But judging from the date on it, 180 00:11:50,930 --> 00:11:54,900 this thing was written a long time before the Laughing Man incident. 181 00:11:55,770 --> 00:12:00,970 After that, he studied Information Science, Information Ethics, and Applied Informatics, 182 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,640 and then got a job at a private company for a while. 183 00:12:03,950 --> 00:12:04,880 Private company? 184 00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:09,280 A mega-multinational that's known to everybody now... 185 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,820 ...for their prosthetic body technology and micromachine fabrication. 186 00:12:12,820 --> 00:12:14,850 Poseidon Industrial. 187 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,830 Back then, they were Greater Japan Technical Research. 188 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:27,700 Take the superhighway and head for Hakata. 189 00:12:28,170 --> 00:12:29,570 Understood, sir. 190 00:12:33,180 --> 00:12:34,340 It's me. 191 00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:38,310 Sorry, Aramaki, but I won't be able to get away for long. 192 00:12:38,810 --> 00:12:40,300 When will you get here? 193 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,150 Right on time.

Even I know that much. 202 00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:22,250 Guess again. That's a mock eel dish that's made out of gluten and shiitake mushrooms. 203 00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:25,190 Taiwanese vegetarian cooking. 204 00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:28,660 What they call Su Shi is a special, time-honored cooking style... 205 00:13:28,660 --> 00:13:31,150 ...that was independently developed by Buddhist priests. 206 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,990 It's like Buddhist vegan cooking? 207 00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:35,600 Yeah, sorta. 208 00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:40,100 Unlike Japanese Buddhist vegan cuisine, though, it doesn't cook its ingredients as-is. 209 00:13:40,610 --> 00:13:45,140 It plays around with beans and mushrooms to duplicate meat and fish. 210 00:13:45,810 --> 00:13:49,580 It's pretty much the same as that sandwich that you didn't finish eating. 211 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:53,350 Are you serious? 212 00:13:54,820 --> 00:14:00,280 But why would those Taiwanese priests have come up with such an elaborate cooking style? 213 00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:04,730 If they never knew what meat tasted like, there wouldn't be any need for it, right? 214 00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:06,540 True enough. 215 00:14:06,540 --> 00:14:10,730 But before people join the priesthood, they can eat whatever they want. 216 00:14:11,510 --> 00:14:15,440 You can meditate all you want, but you're never gonna be able to erase those memories. 217 00:14:15,980 --> 00:14:17,500 I guess that makes sense. 218 00:14:17,780 --> 00:14:19,680 Still, you sure seem to know a lot about this. 219 00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:23,280 Don't tell me that you get nostalgic for the taste of the real thing, too, Big Man. 220 00:14:25,090 --> 00:14:28,420 The brain has cravings for food, even when you're a cyborg. 221 00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:32,490 That's exactly why they make novelty food for cyborgs. 222 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,960 Taste as a playback device for past memories, huh? 223 00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:42,230 Where would this Kawashima guy have learned how to make this stuff? 224 00:14:42,670 --> 00:14:46,330 He probably picked it up while he was stationed in Taiwan. 225 00:14:46,910 --> 00:14:48,710 Keep your eyes peeled, you guys. 226 00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:51,810 Yes sir! 227 00:14:51,810 --> 00:14:53,040 What's up?

233 00:15:13,540 --> 00:15:14,640 {\an8}You've got it all wrong. 234 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,330 {\an8}They haven't come forward because this administration is weak. 235 00:15:17,970 --> 00:15:20,940 {\an8}Defense-minded assemblymen were mulling over the New U.S.-Japan Security Treaty... 236 00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:23,310 {\an8}...long before the present administration took office. 237 00:15:23,810 --> 00:15:26,650 {\an8}They were thinking that they could take the initiative from America. 238 00:15:27,450 --> 00:15:30,980 {\an8}That means that the individualists were already present while that was going on. 239 00:15:31,550 --> 00:15:34,150 {\an8}On the contrary, the thing that provoked the individualists... 240 00:15:34,220 --> 00:15:37,120 {\an8}... is the three million refugees that are eating up our tax money! 241 00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:40,930 {\an8}They were thinking, "It's time for this country to finally stand up... 242 00:15:39,770 --> 00:15:41,270 Dobashi 243 00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:43,230 {\an8}"...and do something about those people!" 244 00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:46,370 Now this is interesting. 245 00:15:46,430 --> 00:15:49,870 {\an8}If that's true, we never should have taken them in in the first place. 246 00:15:50,410 --> 00:15:52,370 {\an8}Talk like that will ruin your career. 247 00:15:52,370 --> 00:15:55,010 {\an8}But do you have any idea how big an increase in our tax rate... 248 00:15:55,010 --> 00:15:58,410 {\an8}... the Refugee Action Policy caused after that? 249 00:15:58,410 --> 00:16:02,950 {\an8}And that tax money is vanishing into the darkness under the pretext of the Refugee Action Policy. 250 00:16:02,350 --> 00:16:03,590 Is anyone there? 251 00:16:02,950 --> 00:16:06,450 {\an8}I have no idea why the ruling party doesn't abandon... 252 00:16:03,890 --> 00:16:09,390 Bring me a disk with the recording of the debate show that's on channel 3-3 right now. 253 00:16:06,450 --> 00:16:10,360 {\an8}... that action policy that's nothing more than a facilitator for criminal activity. 254 00:16:09,390 --> 00:16:10,360 Understood. 255 00:16:10,590 --> 00:16:12,690 And keep on recording it, of course. 256 00:16:11,230 --> 00:16:12,690 {\an8}It's no surprise. 257 00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:16,000 {\an8}Listen, if the refugees are ever suddenly provoked by something, 258 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,470 {\an8}that is when they will truly go out of control. 259 00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:22,570 {\an8}What's commonly referred to as suicide bombings... 260 00:16:22,570 --> 00:16:26,510 {\an8}... is a weapon of last resort used when people lose the last shred of hope for their future. 261 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:31,440 {\an8}That's why it's vital that we encourage them to support themselves economically. 262 00:16:31,810 --> 00:16:34,320 {\an8}Give them freedom under the guise of liberation. 263 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,280 {\an8}What in the world are you saying? 264 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,890 {\an8}The refugees won't be able to solve their own problems... 265 00:16:39,890 --> 00:16:42,490 {\an8}... just by granting them freedom, and you know it! 266 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,000 Tachikoma.

Hurry up and tell us! 284 00:17:47,420 --> 00:17:49,550 {\an8}Have you ever seen this logo? 285 00:17:50,930 --> 00:17:54,220 {\an8}Looks like it's regular van that's registered to a retail chain. 286 00:17:54,930 --> 00:17:55,560 {\an8}Oh, it is? 287 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,130 {\an8}This logo is the one thing in common on all of the letters... 288 00:17:58,130 --> 00:18:00,970 {\an8}... sent in as claims of responsibility for the crimes. 289 00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:03,440 {\an8}I haven't heard anything about that. 290 00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:03,940 How the hell does he know that? 291 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,410 {\an8}Neither have I. Who's your source? 292 00:18:03,940 --> 00:18:07,410 How's it going? You leaving all the lookout work to the Tachikoma? 293 00:18:07,410 --> 00:18:10,050 {\an8}Well, that's a trade secret. 294 00:18:07,540 --> 00:18:09,210 No, I... 295 00:18:10,050 --> 00:18:12,040 {\an8}That's not very convincing, then. 296 00:18:11,150 --> 00:18:12,040 Here. 297 00:18:12,650 --> 00:18:17,950 {\an8}In that case, you might be a little surprised when you learn how this logo is read. 298 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:15,020 Is this any time for us to be eating that stuff? 299 00:18:15,780 --> 00:18:17,950 Now what's your problem? This is the real thing. 300 00:18:17,950 --> 00:18:18,980 That's not what I meant! 301 00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:24,090 This guy here... I think he's a member of a reporter group that I met with earlier, 302 00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:22,590 {\an8}The proper reading for this logo is "The Individual Eleven." 303 00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:28,130 {\an8}While that name is taken from the title of an essay written some fifty years ago, 304 00:18:24,430 --> 00:18:28,060 and he knows top-secret information about the Individual Eleven case. 305 00:18:28,130 --> 00:18:30,700 {\an8}The groups behind these incidents who use this name... 306 00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:33,600 {\an8}... are individual groups that have appeared without any ties with one another, 307 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,060 {\an8}and are all motivated by the goal of refugee liberation. 308 00:18:37,370 --> 00:18:41,210 {\an8}Individualists whose first appearance coincided with... 309 00:18:37,370 --> 00:18:39,440 What the hell is this guy saying? 310 00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:43,910 {\an8}... the GSDA helicopters circling in the skies above the refugee town. 311 00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:49,080 {\an8}These groups are motivated agents who are genuinely trying to liberate the refugees. 312 00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:49,080 I hadn't thought of this method of infection... 313 00:18:49,620 --> 00:18:50,550 Yes, sir. 314 00:18:49,980 --> 00:18:54,720 {\an8}I hate to interrupt, but we have to take a commercial break. 315 00:18:50,550 --> 00:18:53,460 We can't tarnish the good name of the police, so I thought... 316 00:18:53,460 --> 00:18:55,020 ...this would make a good incendiary device. 317 00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:58,660 I suppose it is. By the way, what's being done about the carriers... 318 00:18:58,660 --> 00:19:01,490 ...in the Nanyou case and the attempted assassination of the Prime Minister? 319 00:19:02,030 --> 00:19:05,770 Sir. Regarding the Nanyou carrier, we're already manipulating Public Security Section 1, 320 00:19:05,770 --> 00:19:08,860 so I believe we'll be able to affect a purge soon. 321 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,170 As for the carrier who tried to kill the Prime Minister, 322 00:19:12,170 --> 00:19:14,800 we believe he may be someone who went to the peninsula as part of a PKF. 323 00:19:15,410 --> 00:19:17,010 His name is Hideo Kuze. 324 00:19:17,010 --> 00:19:20,050 We arrived at this answer by working backwards through the infection agents, 325 00:19:20,050 --> 00:19:21,910 so he is probably our man. 326 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,710 So, it's you, Kuze? 327 00:19:27,890 --> 00:19:30,260 About that man, Gohda... 328 00:19:30,260 --> 00:19:32,430 I've asked people who worked with him at the Defense Policy Bureau, 329 00:19:32,430 --> 00:19:34,950 but there weren't many people who remembered him. 330 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,900 Even those who did could only remember that he wasn't very memorable. 331 00:19:46,470 --> 00:19:50,310 But I did find the records of his psychoanalysis testing from when he was employed there. 332 00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:54,010 Introverted, but has a strong sense of self and desire to court publicity. 333 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,350 On the contrary, has tendency to use others to express himself. 334 00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:01,980 That presents a somewhat different picture from the man he is now. 335 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,750 What's the matter?
