1
00:00:08,043 --> 00:00:11,283
I'm a soldier, znatchit ya...
I'm a soldier, and that means...
2
00:00:11,283 --> 00:00:14,553
...i otvetchik i sud'ya
...that I am both defendant and judge.
3
00:00:14,553 --> 00:00:19,953
Ya stoyu na dvuh kontsah ognya
I stand at both ends of the fire.
4
00:00:21,153 --> 00:00:24,353
Ogibaya virazhi,
Leaning into the curves,
5
00:00:24,353 --> 00:00:27,693
obgonyaya smert' i zhizn',
overtaking life and death,
6
00:00:27,693 --> 00:00:33,223
ya begu srazit'sya s ten'yu lzhi
I'm running to fight the shadow of lies.
7
00:00:33,403 --> 00:00:39,833
Skol'ko b nitej ne plyol obman,
No matter how tangled the web of deception is woven,
8
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:47,343
pokazhet lik sveta istina...
truth will always illuminate the outline of the light...
9
00:00:48,213 --> 00:00:51,423
Save your tears for the day...
10
00:00:51,423 --> 00:00:54,723
...when the pain is far behind.
11
00:00:54,723 --> 00:00:57,913
On your feet, come with me.
12
00:00:57,913 --> 00:01:01,363
We are soldiers, stand or die.
13
00:01:01,363 --> 00:01:04,533
Save your fears, take your place.
14
00:01:04,533 --> 00:01:07,633
Save them for the Judgment Day.
15
00:01:07,803 --> 00:01:11,063
Fast and free, follow me.
16
00:01:11,063 --> 00:01:15,773
Time to make the sacrifice.
17
00:01:15,773 --> 00:01:22,833
We rise or fall...
18
00:01:36,893 --> 00:01:41,303
{\an8}This afternoon, Prime Minister Kayabuki
made an inspection tour of Dejima Camp,
19
00:01:41,303 --> 00:01:43,393
{\an8}Kyushu's refugee
residential district.
20
00:01:43,733 --> 00:01:46,203
{\an8}The Prime Minster's inspection
of Dejima is her first...
21
00:01:46,203 --> 00:01:49,803
{\an8}...since the announcement of the repeal
of the Refugee Special Action Policy,
22
00:01:50,303 --> 00:01:56,483
{\an8}but the current state of affairs is one in which
arise in refugee protests will be unavoidable...
23
00:01:56,483 --> 00:02:02,253
{\an8}...against this rash course of action which relies
on radical legal reforms that are not yet in place,
24
00:02:02,253 --> 00:02:05,453
{\an8}such as finding work for the refugees
who are about to lose their livelihood,
25
00:02:02,743 --> 00:02:06,703
Prime Minister Tours "Dejima Camp" Refugee District in Nagasaki
26
00:02:05,453 --> 00:02:07,053
{\an8}and whether they will be issued
Japanese passports.
27
00:02:07,563 --> 00:02:11,793
{\an8}And now for the financial news.
As was recently announced-
28
00:02:21,473 --> 00:02:24,473
Refugee Liberation Organization
29
00:02:32,483 --> 00:02:34,523
This is a copy of a letter
that was found in a bouquet...
30
00:02:34,523 --> 00:02:37,453
...that was received by the Prime Minister
during her inspection tour.
31
00:02:37,923 --> 00:02:39,593
We don't have the
crime lab report yet,
32
00:02:39,593 --> 00:02:42,353
but they say it's unlikely that they'll get
any fingerprints or anything off of it.
33
00:02:43,423 --> 00:02:47,163
A threatening letter hinting that the Prime
Minister will be assassinated, hm?
34
00:02:48,233 --> 00:02:49,963
So, what is this mark?
35
00:02:50,403 --> 00:02:54,963
We don't know. We thought that
you might know something.
36
00:02:55,303 --> 00:02:59,433
From the looks of it, I'd say that it's a proper
noun for an organization or some such.
37
00:02:59,713 --> 00:03:03,583
Right. The truth is that among the various acts
of terrorism that the National Police Agency...
38
00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:09,653
...have been keeping their eyes on since
that takeover of the Chinese embassy,
39
00:03:09,653 --> 00:03:13,613
we've already found seven cases of an identical
logo being used in the claims of responsibility.
40
00:03:14,363 --> 00:03:18,883
We've also recently discovered it on a
letter threatening Nanyou Shimbun Press...
41
00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:21,633
...and in that assassination warning
to the Prime Minister.
42
00:03:22,333 --> 00:03:25,303
Do the nine cases have
anything in common?
43
00:03:25,573 --> 00:03:27,903
We haven't found
anything so far.
44
00:03:27,903 --> 00:03:30,003
Admittedly, there was a
miscommunication of information...
45
00:03:30,003 --> 00:03:32,673
...between the prefectural police officers
in charge of the various cases,
46
00:03:32,673 --> 00:03:37,633
but the criminal motive and ideological
background of each was slightly different.
47
00:03:38,083 --> 00:03:43,073
And most importantly, the contents of each
letter had the air of an independent crime.
48
00:03:43,553 --> 00:03:46,893
But now that we've noticed that they
have that logo in common,
49
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:50,793
we are rushing to designate this series
of events as a Nationwide Serious Crime.
50
00:03:51,233 --> 00:03:53,993
Is there any possibility of this being
a thrill crime or a copycat crime?
51
00:03:54,203 --> 00:03:56,433
At this point, we don't
think that's possible.
52
00:03:56,433 --> 00:04:01,093
Only a handful of people know about
that logo, even inside the police force.
53
00:04:01,443 --> 00:04:04,143
It's never been mentioned
in our press releases, either.
54
00:04:04,143 --> 00:04:07,883
If what you say is true, the only other
explanation is that all nine must be...
55
00:04:07,883 --> 00:04:11,113
...multiple, simultaneous terrorist attacks by a
single group in the guise of independent crimes.
56
00:04:11,353 --> 00:04:14,723
This is the opening stages of an act
of terrorism of the"Laughing Man" type...
57
00:04:14,723 --> 00:04:17,283
...that's utilizing some sort
of information as a medium.
58
00:04:18,823 --> 00:04:21,793
At any rate, it's not in our best interests
for the Prime Minister...
59
00:04:21,793 --> 00:04:24,283
...to be prevented from performing
any more of her public duties.
60
00:04:24,493 --> 00:04:26,023
And the Prime Minister's
health?
61
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:30,163
That's just a cover story we fed
to the media to distract them.
62
00:04:30,733 --> 00:04:37,693
The Prime Minister doesn't want this death
threat to be mentioned in the media at all.
63
00:04:38,213 --> 00:04:40,783
And that is where you
and your team come in.
64
00:04:40,783 --> 00:04:44,273
You're saying that you want Section 9 to provide
personal protection for the Prime Minister?
65
00:04:44,513 --> 00:04:46,143
You catch on quickly.
66
00:04:46,653 --> 00:04:50,483
Commissioner, could you provide us with
the original copy of the death threat, as well?
67
00:04:50,693 --> 00:04:53,153
We'll handle the search
for the criminals.
68
00:04:53,153 --> 00:04:56,593
All we need you to do is to see to
the Prime Minister's security.
69
00:04:56,963 --> 00:05:02,053
And to keep the media in the dark, refrain from
doing anything that would attract attention.
70
00:05:04,133 --> 00:05:07,293
Major. Assemble everyone at
the Prime Minister's residence.
71
00:05:19,283 --> 00:05:24,013
So in other words, you're telling us
to be the Prime Minister's babysitters.
72
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:33,393
So, what's your take
on this case, Chief?
73
00:05:33,393 --> 00:05:37,463
I suppose we can't write this off
as some faddish copycat crime.
74
00:05:38,033 --> 00:05:43,143
The threat is a warning to the Prime Minister for
repealing the Refugee Special Action Policy,
75
00:05:43,143 --> 00:05:46,203
which the previous administration
enacted as a temporary legislation.
76
00:05:46,443 --> 00:05:48,383
And with there being no progress
on the refugee issue...
77
00:05:48,383 --> 00:05:51,453
...after all the protests and their chants of,
"End the discrimination! Set the refugees free!"
78
00:05:51,453 --> 00:05:55,783
They're calling it an act of treason
against the people,
79
00:05:55,783 --> 00:05:57,943
and that they're going
to execute her for it, right?
80
00:05:58,493 --> 00:06:00,753
What they're saying is
completely inconsistent!
81
00:06:01,193 --> 00:06:04,953
The police may say that all these crimes
were committed by the same organization,
82
00:06:05,263 --> 00:06:07,663
but at this point, I don't see
how they could be.
83
00:06:08,633 --> 00:06:12,533
If it weren't for the fact that they
have this logo in common, I'd agree.
84
00:06:12,833 --> 00:06:17,133
Although I can't completely trust what
the Commissioner General said,
85
00:06:17,473 --> 00:06:21,913
considering that a series of criminal notices
bearing this logo were issued,
86
00:06:21,913 --> 00:06:24,643
we have no choice but to operate
on that assumption.
87
00:06:24,953 --> 00:06:27,353
A stand alone complex...
88
00:06:30,023 --> 00:06:33,613
I have to admit, this does resemble
the Laughing Man incident.
89
00:06:37,993 --> 00:06:41,693
At the moment, our objective isn't to
determine the truth behind the crimes.
90
00:06:42,233 --> 00:06:44,703
Focus all your efforts on guarding
the Prime Minister.
91
00:06:45,173 --> 00:06:48,243
But at the same time, I also want you
to investigate the death threat and the logo...
92
00:06:48,243 --> 00:06:51,403
...to identify the criminal or
criminal group that is behind this.
93
00:06:53,143 --> 00:06:56,703
Batou, Saito, and Paz, you're with me
on the Prime Minister's security.
94
00:06:57,083 --> 00:07:01,103
Togusa, you work the logo and death threat
angles with Ishikawa and Borma.
95
00:07:01,483 --> 00:07:02,613
Roger.
96
00:07:08,993 --> 00:07:12,483
As for Prime Minister Kayabuki,
who took a sick day yesterday,
97
00:07:12,793 --> 00:07:15,923
she was back in high spirits again today
as she held an extraordinary Cabinet session.
98
00:07:16,303 --> 00:07:20,103
However, with a budget committee meeting
looming just a few days away...
99
00:07:20,333 --> 00:07:22,343
...and no sign of developments in the
still-unsettled refugee policy in sight,
100
00:07:22,573 --> 00:07:26,903
Japan's first female Prime Minister has lost the
luster she had when she formed her Cabinet,
101
00:07:27,143 --> 00:07:28,843
and her expression has seemed
to have clouded over, as well.
102
00:07:28,843 --> 00:07:31,713
So, there has been no reaction
to my death threat.
103
00:07:32,883 --> 00:07:35,983
I see that living up to your ideals
has been a heavy burden for you,
104
00:07:35,983 --> 00:07:39,723
paying lip service for a brief time
to the liberation of the refugees...
105
00:07:39,723 --> 00:07:42,483
...while at the same time
doing nothing about it.
106
00:07:43,763 --> 00:07:47,663
I will spur you on by meting out a
punishment you so richly deserve.
107
00:07:49,463 --> 00:07:50,733
However...
108
00:07:51,673 --> 00:07:55,363
I must see to it that my rendezvous with her will
be a special one, for it will never come again.
109
00:07:58,313 --> 00:07:59,933
Once an action
is undertaken,
110
00:08:00,543 --> 00:08:03,813
withdrawing without completing one's
objective cannot be tolerated.
111
00:08:05,653 --> 00:08:10,213
But an ideal that acted upon with no
objective in mind is doomed to failure,
112
00:08:11,093 --> 00:08:12,713
and you will be foiled.
113
00:08:13,923 --> 00:08:16,083
I am a man
with a motive.
114
00:08:17,023 --> 00:08:20,653
The Individual Eleven.
115
00:08:33,643 --> 00:08:35,583
This makes eight cases...
116
00:08:35,583 --> 00:08:38,143
You could have someone else
do that for you, sir.
117
00:08:39,213 --> 00:08:41,553
You caught me with my hand
in the cookie jar.
118
00:08:42,223 --> 00:08:44,843
This is something that I do
because I enjoy it.
119
00:08:45,853 --> 00:08:48,763
I'm reinforcing my memory by
acquiring printed information...
120
00:08:48,763 --> 00:08:55,393
...so that I'll be able to rattle off effective
ideas on the spur of the moment.
121
00:08:56,563 --> 00:08:57,763
Yes?
122
00:08:58,373 --> 00:09:00,423
Intel sent to us
from the Secretariat, sir.
123
00:09:04,513 --> 00:09:08,843
Well, well. Some strange
elements have sprung up.
124
00:09:08,913 --> 00:09:10,383
Threatening to assassinate
the Prime Minister...
125
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:12,443
...means that we've got another
audacious one on our hands.
126
00:09:12,983 --> 00:09:15,353
Don't they know anything
about him?
127
00:09:15,553 --> 00:09:18,613
The police haven't managed
to identify the culprit yet.
128
00:09:18,793 --> 00:09:20,853
Why am I not surprised?
129
00:09:21,563 --> 00:09:23,053
What are they doing
about her security?
130
00:09:23,293 --> 00:09:25,223
Public Security Section 9
has been put on it, apparently.
131
00:09:25,363 --> 00:09:27,053
Section 9?
132
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:29,363
With them on the case, I suppose
we don't have anything to worry about.
133
00:09:29,363 --> 00:09:31,833
We can't have her actually
getting assassinated, now can we?
134
00:09:32,603 --> 00:09:35,663
All right, I'll assign someone
to tail the Prime Minister, too.
135
00:09:36,373 --> 00:09:39,313
Find out who issued
this death threat.
136
00:09:39,613 --> 00:09:44,443
If it looks like he's going to fall into Section 9's
hands, we'll step in and reel him in here.
137
00:09:44,753 --> 00:09:45,943
Understood, sir.
138
00:09:56,963 --> 00:10:00,393
Major? You don't seem
very gung-ho about this.
139
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:03,153
Really? Must be because
I'm on my period.
140
00:10:04,473 --> 00:10:06,093
Quit joking around.
141
00:10:06,403 --> 00:10:08,633
What do you think
of our missions lately?
142
00:10:09,043 --> 00:10:12,803
As I recall, we were supposed to be
an anti-crime offensive organization.
143
00:10:13,313 --> 00:10:16,243
Even if there has been a death threat
against the Prime Minister,
144
00:10:16,243 --> 00:10:19,453
having our hands tied like this
ain't my idea of a good time.
145
00:10:19,453 --> 00:10:20,953
Are you fed up?
146
00:10:20,953 --> 00:10:23,753
What I'm getting at is,
are you feeling that way?
147
00:10:24,823 --> 00:10:26,383
I'm not sure.
Maybe.
148
00:10:39,803 --> 00:10:43,173
Doesn't look like there's ever
been a group that's part of...
149
00:10:43,173 --> 00:10:46,503
...the Refugee Liberation Organization
that's used a logo identical to this one.
150
00:10:47,013 --> 00:10:51,033
We don't even know how you're
supposed to read this thing.
151
00:10:51,353 --> 00:10:54,473
Come on, people, use something that
outsiders could at least read your name off of.
152
00:10:55,053 --> 00:10:57,923
"Vengeance," "infinity,"
and "samurai"...
153
00:10:58,653 --> 00:11:02,183
It does sorta hint at an
ideological background, but still...
154
00:11:02,863 --> 00:11:06,383
Maybe they're just using
an existing motif.
155
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:08,293
As in?
156
00:11:08,603 --> 00:11:09,653
Lemme think...
157
00:11:10,963 --> 00:11:15,643
Literature handed down by great historical
figures. The title of a play or movie.
158
00:11:15,643 --> 00:11:19,833
Or a trademark that represents a person or
organization that figured in historical events...
159
00:11:20,313 --> 00:11:21,873
I see where
you're going.
160
00:11:30,383 --> 00:11:31,613
Hey, I found it.
161
00:11:31,923 --> 00:11:35,013
Says here that it's supposed to
be read "The Individual Eleven."
162
00:11:35,263 --> 00:11:39,063
It's the title of a collection of essays on
revolutions written half a century ago.
163
00:11:39,193 --> 00:11:40,393
Put it up
over here.
164
00:11:41,603 --> 00:11:43,733
"Reflections on Nations
and Revolutions:"
165
00:11:43,733 --> 00:11:47,743
"Collected Preliminary Essays on Revolution,"
by Patrick Sylvestre.
166
00:11:47,743 --> 00:11:49,793
Oh, I've read
this before.
167
00:11:50,143 --> 00:11:51,943
"Collected Essays
on Revolution"?
168
00:11:51,943 --> 00:11:56,003
At the time the collection came out, the essays
didn't make much of a splash, though.
169
00:11:56,583 --> 00:12:01,013
"The Rise of the Third Estate,"
"Breaking Free from Domination,"
170
00:12:01,253 --> 00:12:04,483
"A Farewell to Kings,"
"Aspiring Towards Socialism,"
171
00:12:04,653 --> 00:12:07,523
"Eve of the Rapture,"
"Parting Ways With the Gods,"
172
00:12:07,763 --> 00:12:10,883
"Castro and Guevara,"
"Twelve Years of Nihilism,"
173
00:12:11,093 --> 00:12:13,533
and "A Return to Principles."
174
00:12:13,533 --> 00:12:18,533
It's a collection of preliminary essays with those
nine, plus a tenth one on the May Revolution...
175
00:12:18,533 --> 00:12:23,443
...which he saw firsthand and which kindled
his own dreams of being a revolutionary leader.
176
00:12:23,773 --> 00:12:28,213
But there are theories that there's an elusive
eleventh essay that the author himself...
177
00:12:28,213 --> 00:12:32,143
...locked away because he didn't consider that
incident that happened in Japan as a revolution.
178
00:12:32,613 --> 00:12:37,053
It's an essay with a story behind it.
"The Individual Eleven."
179
00:12:37,853 --> 00:12:41,083
But there's no records of it
ever being published.
180
00:12:41,523 --> 00:12:47,623
Yeah, and even this data is just information
that was uploaded to the net by hardcore fans.
181
00:12:48,003 --> 00:12:54,173
But the thing that we can't overlook is that those
hardcore fans are all fanatical individualists.
182
00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:57,373
A bible for individualists, huh?
183
00:12:59,243 --> 00:13:00,433
Hey, I just remembered!
184
00:13:00,673 --> 00:13:01,613
This logo...
185
00:13:01,613 --> 00:13:03,413
During that case with the
runaway GSDA helicopters,
186
00:13:03,613 --> 00:13:05,543
we searched the dead pilot's
apartment, right?
187
00:13:05,853 --> 00:13:06,653
Yeah.
188
00:13:06,653 --> 00:13:10,453
I saw a note with this logo
written on it at his place.
189
00:13:12,193 --> 00:13:16,153
And those people who took over
the Chinese embassy...
190
00:13:16,523 --> 00:13:19,893
Didn't they also call themselves
The Individual Eleven?
191
00:13:22,933 --> 00:13:23,833
Major!
192
00:13:24,103 --> 00:13:26,123
I see. That's some
interesting information.
193
00:13:26,673 --> 00:13:29,933
But that won't get us any closer
to identifying our perp.
194
00:13:30,443 --> 00:13:33,343
Besides, the police have probably
uncovered that much, too.
195
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:37,803
Dive deeper and turn up something
that'll identify our man.
196
00:13:38,113 --> 00:13:40,673
I don't care how small
the clue is.
197
00:13:40,983 --> 00:13:42,213
Understood.
198
00:13:43,553 --> 00:13:45,253
Please check the contents.
199
00:13:54,863 --> 00:13:59,533
Think over the meaning of the message
from my newly-awoken comrades.
200
00:14:03,243 --> 00:14:08,003
What is it that makes the bible of my struggle,
"The Individual Eleven," so magnificent?
201
00:14:09,013 --> 00:14:12,543
It is the way the author discussed
the true nature of the May 15th Incident...
202
00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:15,473
...by comparing it
to Japanese Noh drama.
203
00:14:16,753 --> 00:14:21,353
Even as they scorned all other forms of artistic
expression, Noh theater was the sole art form...
204
00:14:21,623 --> 00:14:23,853
...that was recognized by the warriors
of Japan's feudal period.
205
00:14:24,463 --> 00:14:28,133
This is because, as opposed to many forms of
art, which were nothing more than pretenses...
206
00:14:28,133 --> 00:14:32,393
...whose true nature was to repeat a
predetermined set of actions again and again,
207
00:14:33,473 --> 00:14:37,203
in Noh theater, each performance
is meant to be unique,
208
00:14:37,803 --> 00:14:43,743
so the mental energy put into them is thought to
be exceedingly close to that put into real events.
209
00:14:45,713 --> 00:14:49,013
If a one were to give one's life
as a revolutionary leader,
210
00:14:49,423 --> 00:14:52,513
that life would be sublimated
into something transcendent.
211
00:14:53,123 --> 00:14:57,653
In death, a hero meets his end,
but he gains eternity.
212
00:14:58,793 --> 00:15:05,323
That is what Sylvestre's
"Individual Eleven" tells us.
213
00:15:10,003 --> 00:15:11,343
I'll proceed
with this, then.
214
00:15:11,343 --> 00:15:12,643
Very well.
215
00:15:12,773 --> 00:15:14,173
Chief Aramaki.
216
00:15:15,813 --> 00:15:17,873
About tomorrow's schedule...
217
00:15:18,853 --> 00:15:20,953
You needn't worry.
218
00:15:20,953 --> 00:15:24,853
We will make every effort to be unobtrusive
while we accompany you, Prime Minister.
219
00:15:25,523 --> 00:15:26,993
Thank you.
220
00:15:28,023 --> 00:15:31,083
I'm sorry to involve you
in a personal matter.
221
00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:35,763
Come in.
222
00:15:38,533 --> 00:15:39,503
Chief.
223
00:15:39,833 --> 00:15:41,133
What is it?
224
00:15:44,473 --> 00:15:48,613
This was among the letters and parcels
that came addressed to the Prime Minister.
225
00:15:48,613 --> 00:15:50,013
What is it?
226
00:15:50,113 --> 00:15:52,643
Perhaps it might be best
if you didn't see this.
227
00:15:53,413 --> 00:15:56,613
Undue concern for women is what
leads to contempt for them.
228
00:16:01,993 --> 00:16:06,863
It's no use...I can't find anything on
the content of the essay itself.
229
00:16:07,093 --> 00:16:09,893
What was the incident that
was the topic of the essay?
230
00:16:10,333 --> 00:16:13,633
It was on
May 15th, 1932.
231
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:19,573
That's when some young naval officers,
army cadets, and farmer sympathizers...
232
00:16:19,573 --> 00:16:23,703
...took radical action while caught up in
a whirlwind of nation-building fervor.
233
00:16:24,543 --> 00:16:28,953
The core figures of the plot assassinated
the Prime Minister at the time,
234
00:16:28,953 --> 00:16:33,853
the result of which was Japan plunging headlong
into an era of dominance by militarists.
235
00:16:34,863 --> 00:16:38,793
Anyway, you can't consider the officers' actions
anything other than heinous acts of terrorism,
236
00:16:39,033 --> 00:16:43,993
but it's what happened afterwards that
symbolically shows the incident's significance.
237
00:16:44,733 --> 00:16:49,293
After the assassination of the Prime Minister, the
eleven young army officers who took part in it...
238
00:16:49,543 --> 00:16:52,033
...were put before
a military tribunal,
239
00:16:52,343 --> 00:16:55,473
but the trial began to
take a strange turn.
240
00:16:56,413 --> 00:17:00,713
Based on their conviction in their beliefs, the
defendants, who were barely in their twenties,
241
00:17:00,713 --> 00:17:03,823
began to make their statements with tears
in their eyes, declining any defense...
242
00:17:03,823 --> 00:17:05,883
...and saying that they
were prepared to die.
243
00:17:06,293 --> 00:17:09,923
Apparently, when they did this, the judges,
the soldiers of the prosecution,
244
00:17:10,023 --> 00:17:12,123
the press, and the people
in the gallery...
245
00:17:12,363 --> 00:17:16,693
...all found themselves sympathizing with them,
and started crying, too.
246
00:17:17,503 --> 00:17:21,093
What's more, the leniency movement, which had
been unable to see much of the public trial,
247
00:17:21,403 --> 00:17:24,933
turned into a mass movement after the
prosecution delivered its closing arguments.
248
00:17:25,373 --> 00:17:28,743
By the time the verdict was handed
down on September 19th,
249
00:17:28,743 --> 00:17:31,113
350,000 petitions
had been sent in,
250
00:17:31,583 --> 00:17:36,883
and public opinion, which had been
displaying ultranationalist tendencies,
251
00:17:36,883 --> 00:17:40,653
reached a fever pitch when eleven fingers,
the same as the number of defendants,
252
00:17:40,953 --> 00:17:42,893
were mysteriously delivered
to the courthouse.
253
00:17:43,993 --> 00:17:47,863
After the assassination of the Prime Minister
by those eleven young officers,
254
00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:51,393
a type of nationalism that viewed them
as heroes began to spread.
255
00:17:52,533 --> 00:17:55,933
It's an essay written by an author who
was fascinated by the details of the event.
256
00:17:57,173 --> 00:18:02,613
I bet he strongly identified with the people
involved in the case as he wrote it.
257
00:18:07,913 --> 00:18:09,753
They aren't real.
258
00:18:10,583 --> 00:18:14,183
They were probably cut off of
discarded prosthetic bodies.
259
00:18:16,223 --> 00:18:20,163
Togusa. Eleven severed fingers were just
delivered to the Prime Minister's residence.
260
00:18:20,163 --> 00:18:21,633
Track down where
they came from.
261
00:18:21,633 --> 00:18:24,063
Did she just say
eleven fingers?!
262
00:18:24,803 --> 00:18:28,743
Major, we've been working
that essay angle,
263
00:18:28,743 --> 00:18:32,603
and just turned up an episode involving eleven
fingers that has to do with the May 15th Incident.
264
00:18:33,843 --> 00:18:35,573
There has to be
something to this.
265
00:18:50,393 --> 00:18:52,293
Thank goodness you
arrived in time.
266
00:18:52,293 --> 00:18:57,363
Many of those who come to us to meditate
have a great affection for that picture.
267
00:18:58,873 --> 00:19:00,393
I'm glad to be
of help.
268
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:20,253
Hey, Zen is not so much
a religion,
269
00:19:20,253 --> 00:19:24,313
but rather a means of freeing human karma
from worldly thoughts, right?
270
00:19:24,793 --> 00:19:29,693
For us, maybe it's something like deleting
data from our cache when it's full.
271
00:19:30,033 --> 00:19:32,523
Maybe that's like that,
plus synchronizing our data.
272
00:19:32,873 --> 00:19:37,363
If that's true, maybe we can link up to someone
who's meditating and download enlightenment!
273
00:19:37,503 --> 00:19:38,533
- Yeah!
- Yeah
274
00:19:59,693 --> 00:20:01,493
The perimeter's clear.
275
00:20:01,863 --> 00:20:04,363
Still, our PM's being
awfully self-centered.
276
00:20:04,363 --> 00:20:07,893
Who in their right mind would go off for some
meditation when somebody's trying to kill them?
277
00:20:08,573 --> 00:20:13,163
And with us not being allowed into the
main temple, this ain't gonna be on my head.
278
00:20:13,873 --> 00:20:17,103
I'd say that in her own way, she's fully
aware of the situation she's in.
279
00:20:17,613 --> 00:20:20,713
She wanted to meditate precisely
because it's a time like this.
280
00:20:20,953 --> 00:20:24,583
That's why she also agreed to the
unofficial use of Interceptors, right?
281
00:20:24,923 --> 00:20:30,123
Look, I admire her courage and all, but if she's
only gonna let you link with the data...
282
00:21:12,803 --> 00:21:14,773
Righteousness is
on my side.
283
00:21:16,303 --> 00:21:17,503
You will be eliminated!
284
00:21:32,453 --> 00:21:34,923
It's no use.
We have you surrounded.
285
00:21:53,673 --> 00:21:54,773
Tachikoma!
286
00:22:15,733 --> 00:22:17,203
I'm all right.
287
00:22:23,903 --> 00:22:26,203
That was one seriously
reinforced cyborg.
288
00:22:26,873 --> 00:22:29,473
Start with a search of people
affiliated with the military.
289
00:22:29,983 --> 00:22:31,943
I'm sorry about
all this trouble.
290
00:22:32,153 --> 00:22:34,943
If you and your team hadn't been here,
I would probably be...
291
00:22:35,423 --> 00:22:36,713
I'm not so sure.
292
00:22:37,123 --> 00:22:40,353
It's possible that he simply had
no intention of killing you.
293
00:22:40,353 --> 00:22:42,353
294
00:23:09,643 --> 00:23:12,143
Finding out a galaxy...
295
00:23:12,143 --> 00:23:16,103
...of planets and stars within me...
296
00:23:16,293 --> 00:23:18,763
Listening to each of them...
297
00:23:18,763 --> 00:23:22,753
...singing the same silent melody...
298
00:23:22,753 --> 00:23:26,763
I've never seen such beauty...
299
00:23:26,763 --> 00:23:30,053
In possibility...
300
00:23:30,053 --> 00:23:34,563
No speck of doubt or fear...
301
00:23:34,563 --> 00:23:36,053
Wake up!
302
00:23:36,053 --> 00:23:38,753
I hear a voice,
303
00:23:38,753 --> 00:23:42,693
hear a voice calling out to me...
304
00:23:42,693 --> 00:23:45,203
I see inside,
305
00:23:45,203 --> 00:23:48,733
see the light now ever holding me...
306
00:23:48,733 --> 00:23:52,073
All the truth, all I need...
307
00:23:52,073 --> 00:23:56,873
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
308
00:23:56,873 --> 00:24:02,683
The beauty within the shell...
309
00:24:02,683 --> 00:24:05,383
I hear a voice,
310
00:24:05,383 --> 00:24:09,323
hear a voice calling out to me...
311
00:24:09,323 --> 00:24:11,833
I see inside,
312
00:24:11,833 --> 00:24:15,363
see the light now ever holding me...
313
00:24:15,363 --> 00:24:18,703
All the truth, all I need...
314
00:24:18,703 --> 00:24:23,503
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
315
00:24:23,503 --> 00:24:28,163
Right here within the shell...
