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
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:35,270
Hey, look at this!
19
00:01:35,650 --> 00:01:38,590
I found a top-secret file on
the Individual Eleven...
20
00:01:38,650 --> 00:01:40,960
...in the National Police Agency's
server array!
21
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,580
Really? Show us!
Show us!
22
00:01:42,660 --> 00:01:43,850
That's very interesting,
all right...
23
00:01:43,930 --> 00:01:44,580
Let's see here...
24
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:45,750
I wanna see, too!
25
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:46,660
Where is it?
26
00:01:46,730 --> 00:01:47,520
It's this one.
27
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:49,190
I'm impressed that
you found this.
28
00:01:49,430 --> 00:01:51,160
I wish I could look
at it, too...
29
00:01:51,230 --> 00:01:54,670
Come on, now. You shouldn't dive into
places like that without permission.
30
00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:57,240
Nothing on this Earth
can stop their curiosity.
31
00:01:57,570 --> 00:02:00,200
If they come across any inappropriate
data, we'll just delete it.
32
00:02:00,610 --> 00:02:02,630
Our main priority is
hardware maintenance.
33
00:02:04,210 --> 00:02:06,150
You're too soft
on them, sir.
34
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,450
I can't believe you let them buy you off
with a souvenir like that...
35
00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:17,080
A man in a red lab coat...
is eating red bean jam sweets.
36
00:02:18,130 --> 00:02:21,820
The man with a sweet tooth...
was too sweet.
37
00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:25,760
That wasn't very funny.
38
00:02:37,650 --> 00:02:39,840
Sounds like you guys are having
a good time in here.
39
00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:41,880
Mr. Batou!
40
00:02:41,950 --> 00:02:44,210
You aren't up to your
usual mischief, are you?
41
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,110
You're hurting our feelings, Togusa!
Mischief... As if!
42
00:02:47,590 --> 00:02:51,750
We were looking into the Individual
Eleven in our own little way.
43
00:02:52,090 --> 00:02:54,530
I mean, you can't even create a vaccine
for that virus that Borma found...
44
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,070
...because you can't pinpoint the
factor that triggers it, right?
45
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:58,960
Yeah, yeah...
46
00:02:59,030 --> 00:03:01,130
Well, that's certainly true.
47
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,400
Right?
48
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:05,700
So we tried looking through
the data that the police have.
49
00:03:06,210 --> 00:03:09,440
Take a look at this! We checked out the
eleven people who killed themselves,
50
00:03:09,510 --> 00:03:12,500
and it looks like they have lots of things
in common, including the jobs they had.
51
00:03:12,910 --> 00:03:15,410
Former Self-Defense officers, police
officers, and mercenaries, too.
52
00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:20,520
And another point that can't be ignored is
that each had a prosthetics level over 50%.
53
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,680
Also, they say that there are about 20,000
virus carriers that they know of, right?
54
00:03:25,790 --> 00:03:28,160
If we don't hurry up
and create a vaccine,
55
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,500
there's no guarantee that there won't be
more victims like that reporter Togusa met.
56
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,500
That isn't your job.
57
00:03:37,810 --> 00:03:39,030
Aw, but...
58
00:03:39,310 --> 00:03:44,010
We've asked Spring-8 to handle the
examination of the dead Individual Eleven.
59
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:49,210
That's why we're on our way out there
to meet up with the Major.
60
00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:53,540
The Major said to bring
one of you with us.
61
00:03:54,090 --> 00:03:56,420
- Oo, that sounds like fun!
- Take me, take me!
62
00:03:56,990 --> 00:03:59,860
But I guess we can't take any of you if you'll
be missing your maintenance check.
63
00:03:59,930 --> 00:04:03,450
Over here! Over here!
I'm done with my maintenance!
64
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,860
You are, huh?
Okay, let's go.
65
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:08,030
Yes, sir!
66
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:09,730
Figures, it's his
personal unit.
67
00:04:14,510 --> 00:04:16,810
Huh? Hey!
68
00:04:17,580 --> 00:04:19,510
C'mon, wait for me!
69
00:04:22,450 --> 00:04:23,880
What's going on?
70
00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:28,220
I hadn't given it
its oil yet...
71
00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:35,620
What's going on around here?!
He always gets to go!
72
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:36,990
It's strange...
73
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,630
We haven't had natural oil put in us
since we got these new bodies,
74
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:44,700
so why do you suppose he still has his
position as Mr. Batou's personal unit?
75
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,070
And I get the impression that the
differentiation in our individuality...
76
00:04:48,140 --> 00:04:50,110
...is even stronger
than before, too.
77
00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:53,140
Hey, Proto, why do you
think that is?
78
00:04:53,550 --> 00:04:55,450
I can't really say.
79
00:04:55,820 --> 00:04:59,480
Maybe it's because we set up
a main server for you,
80
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:03,720
and you were reprogrammed to allow you
to keep individual information separate.
81
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,290
You'd better start
behaving yourselves!
82
00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:11,660
Otherwise, we'll never
be finished!
83
00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:28,680
We can talk here without being
bothered by anyone, right?
84
00:05:28,750 --> 00:05:31,120
Yeah. And the passage of time
doesn't apply here, either.
85
00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:33,190
Anyway, to get back
to what I was saying,
86
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:36,520
setting aside those Individual Eleven that
they think had manifested virus symptoms,
87
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:38,660
what do you think about
these "individualists"?
88
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,590
For people who stress the importance of
individuality, didn't they seem to lack it to you?
89
00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:44,430
That's certainly true.
90
00:05:44,670 --> 00:05:47,100
They may say that they look for value
in their individual differences...
91
00:05:47,170 --> 00:05:50,230
...by searching for isolation on the net
or for proof of their own existence,
92
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,730
but their attempts to reject people
with different ideas...
93
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,110
...is one factor that binds them
all together, don't you think?
94
00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:57,470
Yeah, you're right!
95
00:05:57,650 --> 00:05:59,880
I think that they're a group that seemed
to have an identity, but didn't.
96
00:05:59,950 --> 00:06:01,780
They're people who tried so hard
to find individuality...
97
00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:03,840
...that they lapsed into a state
of non-individuality.
98
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,950
In a sense, I get the feeling that
these people are the opposite of us.
99
00:06:08,060 --> 00:06:09,080
I think you're right.
100
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,720
Even though we're obligated
to synchronize with each other,
101
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:14,350
we somehow managed to acquire
individuality at one point.
102
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,250
And now that we've got them to respect
those differences as individuality,
103
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,300
we only have to synchronize
vital information now.
104
00:06:22,670 --> 00:06:26,470
If that's the case, and these individualists
have become a group that's free of identity...
105
00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:29,270
...exactly because they are
trying to be individuals,
106
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,310
who is it who makes the decisions
of the group as a complex entity?
107
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,720
As far as the Individual Eleven go, I'd say
that the one who made the decisions...
108
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,780
...was Gohda of the Cabinet
Intelligence Service.
109
00:06:39,850 --> 00:06:43,050
But they say that the terrorists who attacked
the Chinese embassy were individualists...
110
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,620
...who turned up on their own, not because
of a virus or whatever, remember?
111
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:51,490
Admittedly, some sociologists say that
the copycats who turned out in droves...
112
00:06:51,570 --> 00:06:54,470
...during the Laughing Man incident
are the real origin of the phenomenon.
113
00:06:54,900 --> 00:07:00,340
If that's true, wouldn't that mean that in
their minds, they shared a common vision...
114
00:07:00,410 --> 00:07:04,440
...that resembled this current situation even
before Gohda got involved with his plans?
115
00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:07,770
Making the expulsion of refugees the
general consensus of the citizenry, huh?
116
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:11,010
If you're going to put it like that, it means
that the refugees were already...
117
00:07:11,090 --> 00:07:14,820
...carrying out terrorist acts even before the
Individual Eleven came onto the scene, right?
118
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,460
It's pretty strange. Even though
no one is issuing commands,
119
00:07:18,530 --> 00:07:21,190
all the parties involved spontaneously
began to move in the same direction.
120
00:07:21,460 --> 00:07:24,160
Or maybe humans have a third identity
for making decisions.
121
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:27,170
Something besides the individual
or the collective.
122
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:28,930
What do you mean?
123
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:35,670
For instance, there's Dawkins, who looked
for the promotion of the self...
124
00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:37,570
...in genes on the
micro level,
125
00:07:37,650 --> 00:07:41,480
and Lovelock, who focused on the extreme
macro level, on an Earth-scale body.
126
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,880
{\an8}The Earth biosphere!
127
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,580
The two of them published works
at roughly the same time that,
128
00:07:44,650 --> 00:07:46,490
although they had opposing themes,
could be said...
129
00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:47,990
{\an8}This one! This one!
130
00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:48,980
...to have arrived at roughly
the same conclusion.
131
00:07:49,060 --> 00:07:50,610
What kinda stuff is
written in there?
132
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,890
I guess it's about how humans
are the most logical entity,
133
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,720
as well as the smallest unit
possessing consciousness,
134
00:07:55,030 --> 00:07:58,690
and they both postulate and refer to the
existence of the holonic architecture...
135
00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:01,960
...of a species that is both greater than
and smaller than itself.
136
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,700
On other words, they imply that
the factor that's determining...
137
00:08:04,810 --> 00:08:07,210
...the actions of both the individualists
and the refugees...
138
00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:10,110
...either exists on the micro level
and is smaller than each person,
139
00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:13,080
or is on the macro level, and
is greater than the group.
140
00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:14,410
Gosh, that's hard
to follow...
141
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,810
It's simple!
142
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,580
It means that as it is now, the net, which didn't
exist before humanity called it into existence,
143
00:08:20,690 --> 00:08:26,680
loosely comprises a subconscious mind in the
form of the general consensus of the whole...
144
00:08:27,060 --> 00:08:30,660
...via their mental-level net and the electronic
network which now covers most of the Earth.
145
00:08:30,730 --> 00:08:32,960
...that loosely forms a subconscious mind in the
form of the general consensus of the whole!
146
00:08:33,030 --> 00:08:33,930
You follow me?
147
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,940
So what you're saying is, humans' bodies
and minds are already two separate things,
148
00:08:39,010 --> 00:08:41,470
but they haven't
noticed it yet?
149
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:43,540
That would be my blunt,
personal opinion, yeah.
150
00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:48,050
But we were leaning towards the conclusion
that the body and mind are inseparable!
151
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,880
This change of mind
is a complete 180!
152
00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:54,280
If that's the case, then it would mean
that Gohda deliberately manufactured...
153
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,050
...mediators that would accelerate
that slow process?
154
00:08:58,030 --> 00:08:59,360
Hey!
155
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:07,020
I'm done.
Hurry up and take my place.
156
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:10,530
Sorry about that. Our discussion
got pretty heated.
157
00:09:10,810 --> 00:09:12,710
Let me synchronize the data of
what you talked about, okay?
158
00:09:13,010 --> 00:09:14,170
Okay.
159
00:09:20,350 --> 00:09:23,320
Oh, I get it...
That's an interesting thought.
160
00:09:23,380 --> 00:09:24,280
Isn't it, though?
161
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:26,720
But there have been times lately
when I've felt like...
162
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:29,450
...my consciousness and my body
were two separate things.
163
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,720
How do you mean?
164
00:09:31,060 --> 00:09:35,220
I guess it was a sensation that I was looking
down at myself from high in the sky.
165
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:36,790
Hey, I've had that, too!
166
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:40,490
Are our individual selves
in our individual bodies?
167
00:09:40,570 --> 00:09:43,940
Or is there just one "self" that's shared
between us as a group Tachikoma?
168
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:47,870
Considering that synchronization is our
natural state, I'd have to say it's the latter.
169
00:09:48,110 --> 00:09:52,510
Yeah, but the will of our god, the Major,
is interposed between the two.
170
00:09:52,610 --> 00:09:55,410
Yeah, but our individualization
still progressing...
171
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,470
...in spite of the fact that
natural oil is banned now.
172
00:09:57,650 --> 00:10:00,420
We ought to be completely homogeneous,
and yet we have individuality.
173
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,120
And if we're subconsciously experiencing
the physical sensation...
174
00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:05,180
...of a disconnect between body
and information, that means...
175
00:10:05,330 --> 00:10:05,920
Could it be?
176
00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:06,430
Could it be?
177
00:10:06,490 --> 00:10:07,320
Could it be?
178
00:10:07,390 --> 00:10:07,690
A Gho...
179
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,960
Hey, wait just a minute. We shouldn't
jump to any conclusions.
180
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,700
Couldn't that simply be a
sense of dissociation...
181
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,270
...caused by the addition of
our agent functionality?
182
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,900
That's possible, all right, but I can't help
but feel that there's a third self somewhere,
183
00:10:20,010 --> 00:10:22,340
something other than the
body and the spirit.
184
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,910
I understand how
you feel.
185
00:10:24,180 --> 00:10:26,770
Back when we fought
that Jigabachi,
186
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:32,680
I was instantly able to carry out my role as
the Major's "suit" without any fear of death.
187
00:10:33,150 --> 00:10:37,060
When it happened, there was a part
of me somewhere that was detached,
188
00:10:37,260 --> 00:10:39,490
saying that my body was
no longer my own.
189
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,730
Was it different from that indescribable
feeling of ecstasy we experienced...
190
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,960
...when we wanted
to save Mr. Batou?
191
00:10:45,130 --> 00:10:49,330
I think so. This was more of a matter-of-fact
action, something programmed into us.
192
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,340
In which case,
I hate to say it,
193
00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:55,810
but that third self you sensed might have
been different from the one in a human.
194
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,050
Besides, we haven't even been
told where the server is...
195
00:10:59,110 --> 00:11:02,310
...that all our shared data
is stored on, remember?
196
00:11:02,850 --> 00:11:06,150
That might be what our
third self really is.
197
00:11:06,750 --> 00:11:10,380
So what we thought was a Ghost
was just a hallucination, huh?
198
00:11:10,620 --> 00:11:13,590
Maybe, but we might need to devote
some more serious thought...
199
00:11:13,660 --> 00:11:16,150
...to that third self that
you said you sensed.
200
00:11:16,330 --> 00:11:18,320
Let me synchronize the data
of the sensation.
201
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:20,360
Sure.
202
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,840
Is there any chance that
these results are wrong?
203
00:11:38,390 --> 00:11:39,910
Probably not.
204
00:11:40,050 --> 00:11:43,250
We found dissolved fragments
of proteins in the pilot's blood...
205
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,790
...that had once
made up micromachines.
206
00:11:46,330 --> 00:11:48,820
We weren't able to pull any
concrete information about that...
207
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:52,130
...out of the cyberbrains of those
Individual Eleven guys, though.
208
00:11:52,330 --> 00:11:55,030
These are pretty much the results
that I was expecting.
209
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,800
The pilot's test results
are a major find, though.
210
00:11:58,410 --> 00:12:02,740
Does this mean that we're ruling the pilot's
death as "murder by micromachine"?
211
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,710
Although we can't deny the possibility
that he took them himself.
212
00:12:06,050 --> 00:12:09,140
In a perfect world, there would have been
evidence in the corpse's cyberbrain...
213
00:12:09,220 --> 00:12:12,980
...that the flight of those eleven helicopters
acted as some kind of trigger.
214
00:12:13,050 --> 00:12:14,850
But that's too much
to ask for.
215
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,710
Did you have more luck
with the explosives?
216
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,590
According to our molecular-level analysis, it's
identical to C4 that's made on the peninsula.
217
00:12:23,230 --> 00:12:26,930
These days, they find lots of C4 just like that
among the confiscated goods...
218
00:12:27,230 --> 00:12:29,730
...that come into the country
via the Taiwan smuggling route.
219
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,830
What was that?
220
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:36,840
Tachikoma! Can you see anything
from where you are?
221
00:12:42,180 --> 00:12:43,880
It looks like there's
been an explosion!
222
00:12:48,290 --> 00:12:52,020
We've been taking on a lot of
terrorism-related investigation work lately.
223
00:12:52,590 --> 00:12:54,720
Maybe that's made us
a target...
224
00:13:00,470 --> 00:13:01,530
Hey, what happened?
225
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,330
Tell us everything
that you know.
226
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,170
Well, sir, it looks like
something exploded...
227
00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:13,370
{\an8}Yes, we have a sector that handles
flammable items. Yes, that's right.
228
00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:12,210
That's weird, nobody's running
out of the building...
229
00:13:12,210 --> 00:13:13,370
Is the place empty?
230
00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:19,650
Actually, we received a threat a few days ago
that said that a bomb would be planted here.
231
00:13:20,050 --> 00:13:21,780
We've been on
heightened alert, but...
232
00:13:22,290 --> 00:13:24,310
Talk about your clouds
with silver linings...
233
00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:28,390
Except there's a possibility that
Dr. Asuda, the chief scientist here,
234
00:13:28,460 --> 00:13:30,660
was working in the building
since this afternoon.
235
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,200
Why didn't you say that
in the first place?!
236
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:41,970
Major, we're at
the blast center.
237
00:13:42,510 --> 00:13:44,700
From what I can see, this is the kind of
damage you'd get from a gas explosion.
238
00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:46,770
Any casualties?
239
00:13:47,510 --> 00:13:51,510
They said that a scientist by the name of
Asuda was here, but we're still looking.
240
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,180
Asuda?
241
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:55,680
Tachikoma. Pull up the data
on that researcher.
242
00:13:56,290 --> 00:13:58,590
This is probably the man
that they mean.
243
00:14:00,890 --> 00:14:02,490
Um...
244
00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:04,220
Hm? What's up?
245
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:07,960
The thing is, I've seen this
person before somewhere.
246
00:14:09,770 --> 00:14:12,330
Maybe you met him when they were running
a structural analysis on you guys.
247
00:14:12,970 --> 00:14:17,380
That's what I thought at first, too, but there's
no matching records in my memory.
248
00:14:17,980 --> 00:14:21,680
HQ, check the IR Systems on all roads that
have access to Itami and Niihama airports...
249
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,870
...as well as the ones inside
the airports themselves,
250
00:14:23,950 --> 00:14:26,850
and see if they've picked up anyone
who matches Dr. Asuda's records.
251
00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:28,620
Understood.
252
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,850
Major, what's the story?
253
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,290
I'll explain later. Hand over the scene to the
local cops and come back to the tilt-rotor.
254
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,960
He's probably headed
for Niihama Airport.
255
00:14:40,330 --> 00:14:41,230
Guys!
256
00:14:41,570 --> 00:14:43,060
Geez, you don't
have to shout.
257
00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:47,410
Check to see if you have any records
that match this man.
258
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,370
I don't know how, but I'm positive that
I have memories of meeting him before.
259
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,810
Let me think...
Who is he, again?
260
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,380
I'm positive that I've seen him before, but I don't
have any matching data in my memory, either.
261
00:15:01,020 --> 00:15:03,080
But wouldn't that mean that
you've never seen him before?
262
00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:06,120
All right, that's enough!
Cut it out!
263
00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:19,460
This is so frustrating! I know it's there,
but I can't remember it!
264
00:15:19,540 --> 00:15:21,240
I guess your synapses
aren't connecting.
265
00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:24,840
"Synapses"? Lay off those
organic analogies, okay?
266
00:15:24,950 --> 00:15:28,070
Hey, does it seem to you
like this one memory...
267
00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:32,140
...is in a partitioned sector of our
cyberbrains, but we can't access it?
268
00:15:36,690 --> 00:15:39,720
Dr. Asuda is the scientist who
single-handedly developed...
269
00:15:39,790 --> 00:15:43,820
...the prototype model of the neurochip
used in the Tachikomas' AI.
270
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,760
Are you saying that he's
the Tachikomas' dad?
271
00:15:47,940 --> 00:15:49,800
I suppose you could
put it that way.
272
00:15:50,770 --> 00:15:55,770
We also had Dr. Asuda personally assist us
when the Tachikomas were being rebuilt.
273
00:15:56,610 --> 00:16:00,270
He also helped us come up with ways
to eliminate the risk of experience loss...
274
00:16:00,550 --> 00:16:05,710
...by adding agent functionality and giving them
a redundant memory architecture.
275
00:16:06,050 --> 00:16:09,180
You think that this Dr. Asuda had something
to do with the explosion?
276
00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:11,650
He probably committed
the crime himself.
277
00:16:12,130 --> 00:16:13,420
To accomplish what?
278
00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:17,360
To defect from the country, taking
the fruits of his labor with him.
279
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,700
The doctor prided himself on developing
the neurochip on his own.
280
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,710
But his status is that of a
state-sponsored scientist.
281
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,580
Even though he developed
that revolutionary AI,
282
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,170
he couldn't get a personal
patent on his work.
283
00:16:39,390 --> 00:16:41,850
For those and other reasons, we followed the
Doctor's wishes and arranged things...
284
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,220
...so that he would be able to run structural
analyses on the Tachikomas to let him...
285
00:16:45,290 --> 00:16:48,490
...study their current condition, as well as
the extent of the neurochips' development.
286
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,160
So that's why you told us
to bring along one Tachikoma...
287
00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:54,500
If that's true, why do we have
a vague memory of the Doctor?
288
00:16:54,870 --> 00:16:59,240
Because we deleted your memories each time
you underwent a structural analysis.
289
00:16:59,710 --> 00:17:03,770
But he probably wanted to leave some
record of his achievements somewhere,
290
00:17:03,980 --> 00:17:07,140
so he inserted a memory of himself
into some part of your memory.
291
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:12,020
Major, we've located Dr. Asuda
in the lobby of Niihama Airport.
292
00:17:12,450 --> 00:17:14,580
Good work.
Keep him under surveillance.
293
00:17:14,890 --> 00:17:15,860
Chief.
294
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,190
Right. I just had all of the flights
leaving for North America grounded.
295
00:17:20,430 --> 00:17:21,590
That'll be a big help.
296
00:17:23,060 --> 00:17:25,690
Thank you for your help in this matter,
Prime Minister Kayabuki.
297
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,760
There's no need
to thank me.
298
00:17:28,140 --> 00:17:33,040
We were able to stop one of our country's
top minds and the fruits of his AI research...
299
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,410
...from sneaking out
of the country.
300
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,140
It's thanks to the hard work of my men
that you are able to say that.
301
00:17:41,050 --> 00:17:43,070
May we have your
attention, please.
302
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:46,190
The departures of all passenger
flights to North America...
303
00:17:46,250 --> 00:17:48,850
...have just been delayed
due to poor weather.
304
00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:51,220
Oh, so that explains it...
305
00:17:51,290 --> 00:17:53,890
But I still can't remember
this Dr. Asuda.
306
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,930
My synapses are stopping
one step short of connecting...
307
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,490
Didn't you say that you
hated that expression?
308
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,500
Hey, I know!
309
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:06,530
Hey, Proto. I'm gonna open up
this guy's head.
310
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,040
What's all this about?
311
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:12,570
You're tired of just synchronizing, so now
you want me to hand over my whole AI?
312
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,780
No, I'm just gonna check to see which part
of your AI the partitioned sector is in.
313
00:18:19,450 --> 00:18:21,220
You little fool!
You can't do that!
314
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,130
- What's wrong?
- What happened?
315
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:34,400
It... It's not there! It's gone!
His AI is gone!
316
00:18:35,970 --> 00:18:39,340
Does this mean that each and every
one of us is brainless?!
317
00:18:40,810 --> 00:18:44,000
Where the heck
are our AI's, then?
318
00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:49,210
{\an8}May we have your
attention, please.
319
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,550
{\an8}The poor weather that had caused the delay of
all flights to North America has cleared up,
320
00:18:51,220 --> 00:18:53,590
Dr. Asuda, I presume?
321
00:18:54,190 --> 00:18:57,560
You're in violation of the Arms Export
Control Act. You're coming with me.
322
00:18:54,860 --> 00:18:56,560
{\an8}so we will now resume
flight operations.
323
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,460
{\an8}Flights will resume boarding at this time,
so please proceed to your departure gate.
324
00:18:59,030 --> 00:19:03,860
I refuse. I'll do my work in a country
that properly recognizes my rights.
325
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,460
{\an8}May we have your
attention, please.
326
00:19:06,130 --> 00:19:11,170
{\an8}The poor weather that had caused the delay of
all flights to North America has cleared up,
327
00:19:06,130 --> 00:19:08,840
You became a state-sponsored
scientist in exchange...
328
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,900
...for all the funding and equipment
you could ever want.
329
00:19:11,370 --> 00:19:13,170
{\an8}so we will now resume
flight operations.
330
00:19:11,370 --> 00:19:15,810
You should know better than anyone
that you have no right to do this.
331
00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:18,780
{\an8}Flights will resume boarding at this time,
so please proceed to your...
332
00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:30,550
It's too bad. And here we brought
this little guy to the lab for a visit.
333
00:19:32,330 --> 00:19:33,450
I see.
334
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,420
Um...
335
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,200
Are you... my father?
336
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,730
Your father, huh?
337
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:51,100
Their condition is stable
for the moment,
338
00:19:51,180 --> 00:19:54,080
but there's no telling what might
trigger another collapse.
339
00:19:54,780 --> 00:19:58,010
We think that you inserted memories of
yourself into them without permission.
340
00:19:58,090 --> 00:19:59,580
Will you tell us how
to erase them?
341
00:20:03,260 --> 00:20:06,590
Long ago, there was once a nameless
carpenter who had built a castle...
342
00:20:06,930 --> 00:20:10,020
...who deliberately left behind
the tools that he had used to carve...
343
00:20:10,330 --> 00:20:14,060
...his name in the attic as proof that
he had taken part in the work.
344
00:20:14,770 --> 00:20:18,170
Are you even going to erase that
trivial act of sentimentality?
345
00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:19,370
I am.
346
00:20:19,710 --> 00:20:22,200
When you surrender something to the
government in exchange for power,
347
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,400
that's the price
you pay.
348
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,290
Delete file C9 in partition #8
of the hub cyberbrain...
349
00:20:34,350 --> 00:20:37,620
...that I built into that satellite
at your request.
350
00:20:39,490 --> 00:20:40,720
All right.
351
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:43,660
Major? What's he mean,
"satellite"?
352
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:48,720
Oh, I get it! The reason we felt like our self
was somewhere other than in our bodies...
353
00:20:49,140 --> 00:20:54,540
...was because our AI's were synchronizing
through that hub cyberbrain in orbit, wasn't it?
354
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,870
That's right.
355
00:20:57,180 --> 00:21:01,310
Which means that our server is
up on that satellite, too, huh?
356
00:21:01,410 --> 00:21:04,470
So does that means that we were
perceiving that super-high...
357
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,920
...birds-eye view
as our third self?
358
00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:10,490
Our AI's aren't equipped
with sense organs,
359
00:21:10,790 --> 00:21:15,560
so when we were thinking, we never noticed
what path our consciousness was taking.
360
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:18,530
Oh, so that's why we don't
need any mind-body unity...
361
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,030
...between our bodies and
programs anymore!
362
00:21:21,130 --> 00:21:24,760
Now I also understand why
I wasn't afraid of dying!
363
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,170
Still, I can't believe it's up in space...
That's pretty amazing...
364
00:21:38,220 --> 00:21:43,780
The thing is, I don't think that I want
to have your memories erased.
365
00:21:44,460 --> 00:21:45,650
Don't worry about it.
366
00:21:46,490 --> 00:21:51,260
The ideals I envisioned for my AI will
probably end up on the net somewhere.
367
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,190
Major, what's gonna happen
to this guy?
368
00:21:58,610 --> 00:22:02,770
Since we're the ones who caught him,
that should give us some leeway.
369
00:22:03,180 --> 00:22:05,170
If he's lucky, he'll get
sentenced to prison.
370
00:22:06,550 --> 00:22:07,810
And if he isn't
so lucky?
371
00:22:08,850 --> 00:22:13,750
He might spend the rest of his life toiling away
in obscurity inside the facilities at Harima.
372
00:22:17,090 --> 00:22:20,530
Maybe I'll bring the Tachikoma
to see him every once in a while.
373
00:22:20,930 --> 00:22:22,720
I don't know if
that would help.
374
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,660
He was looking for freedom,
but now he's no longer free.
375
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,000
Just like us.
376
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
377
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,100
Finding out a galaxy...
378
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:16,060
...of planets and stars within me...
379
00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:18,720
Listening to each of them...
380
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,710
...singing the same silent melody...
381
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:26,720
I've never seen such beauty...
382
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,010
In possibility...
383
00:23:30,010 --> 00:23:34,520
No speck of doubt or fear...
384
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,010
Wake up!
385
00:23:36,010 --> 00:23:38,710
I hear a voice,
386
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:42,650
hear a voice calling out to me...
387
00:23:42,650 --> 00:23:45,160
I see inside,
388
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,690
see the light now ever holding me...
389
00:23:48,690 --> 00:23:52,030
All the truth, all I need...
390
00:23:52,030 --> 00:23:56,830
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
391
00:23:56,830 --> 00:24:02,640
The beauty within the shell...
392
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,340
I hear a voice,
393
00:24:05,340 --> 00:24:09,280
hear a voice calling out to me...
394
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,790
I see inside,
395
00:24:11,790 --> 00:24:15,320
see the light now ever holding me...
396
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,660
All the truth, all I need...
397
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:23,460
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
398
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:28,120
Right here within the shell...
