He was more like an outcast. 33 00:02:21,643 --> 00:02:24,233 To tell you the truth, the man's an enigma. 34 00:02:25,043 --> 00:02:26,103 What's that? 35 00:02:26,583 --> 00:02:29,173 It's what Gohda looked like when he was in the DPB. 36 00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:31,713 He was apparently injured in some kind of accident, 37 00:02:31,713 --> 00:02:35,123 but he's keeping the wounds the way they looked back then. 38 00:02:36,023 --> 00:02:38,183 Definitely leaves less of an impression than he does now. 39 00:02:38,823 --> 00:02:39,793 Okay. 40 00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:43,623 Call off the background search for now. We're getting new instructions from the Chief. 41 00:02:43,893 --> 00:02:45,123 - Roger. - Roger. 42 00:02:50,333 --> 00:02:54,773 Oh, man... Straight from an all-nighter to a lunch meeting, huh? 43 00:03:09,353 --> 00:03:12,183 You're probably wondering why I called this emergency meeting. 44 00:03:12,453 --> 00:03:15,193 It is to lay out our policy in regards to a response... 45 00:03:15,193 --> 00:03:18,353 ...to the string of incidents that have been happening lately. 46 00:03:18,633 --> 00:03:21,533 Fine, but I'd like to belt that son of a bitch first. 47 00:03:22,363 --> 00:03:23,993 I agree with him. 48 00:03:24,403 --> 00:03:27,463 The CIS' actions are clearly meant to put pressure on us. 49 00:03:27,643 --> 00:03:30,403 I don't feel like keeping my mouth shut and letting them get away with it a second time. 50 00:03:30,713 --> 00:03:33,613 Relax. I don't like it any more than you do. 51 00:03:36,513 --> 00:03:40,113 Even so, it seems to me that you've been making a lot of trips to see the Prime Minister. 52 00:03:40,583 --> 00:03:45,183 Don't you think it's the P.M. Herself who wants to slap a leash on us? 53 00:03:45,493 --> 00:03:46,763 I find that unlikely. 54 00:03:46,763 --> 00:03:49,563 It's true that she is merely a figurehead who was set up in hopes... 55 00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:52,553 ...of distracting the populace from the previous administration's scandals, 56 00:03:52,963 --> 00:03:56,663 but while she may or may not be a friend, she most certainly is not a foe. 57 00:03:58,203 --> 00:04:03,043 I believe the Major's already conducting an investigation on her own about this, 58 00:04:03,673 --> 00:04:07,303 but there are signs of deliberate information manipulation being carried out at the CIS... 59 00:04:07,643 --> 00:04:13,013 ...regarding the runaway helicopter incident, as well as the plutonium transfer the other day. 60 00:04:13,183 --> 00:04:18,483 At this time, it's uncertain what the CIS is planning to use these incidents for, 61 00:04:18,893 --> 00:04:22,223 but I believe these repeated pressures being brought to bear against us... 62 00:04:22,223 --> 00:04:25,493 ...are actions within the government, which hopes to keep that "something" hidden. 63 00:04:26,263 --> 00:04:28,703 Is that true for the Individual Eleven case, too? 64 00:04:30,173 --> 00:04:33,503 Because they're keeping us away from the investigation... 65 00:04:33,803 --> 00:04:36,333 ...into the attempt on the Prime Minister, which is a serious act of terrorism, 66 00:04:36,413 --> 00:04:38,873 even though we were the ones most closely tied to the case. 67 00:04:41,583 --> 00:04:45,383 If the Prime Minister's a paper tiger and it's the government who's behind this, 68 00:04:45,383 --> 00:04:48,153 we're still gonna be biting the hand that feeds us. 69 00:04:48,723 --> 00:04:50,583 You're gonna do this anyway? 70 00:04:50,893 --> 00:04:52,383 Do you have a problem with it? 71 00:04:52,963 --> 00:04:54,953 I've been waiting to hear you say that. 72 00:04:55,663 --> 00:04:58,933 Very well. Let's get on with the mission briefing. 73 00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:06,843 All of the crimes in this file were committed by various criminal groups... 74 00:05:06,843 --> 00:05:10,403 ...that have called themselves the Individual Eleven. 75 00:05:12,413 --> 00:05:15,783 The illegal siphoning of funds contributed to JNN-TV. 76 00:05:16,483 --> 00:05:19,073 The bombing of a refugee aid association. 77 00:05:19,683 --> 00:05:24,593 Threats made to an NPO that had donated free prosthetic bodies to refugees. 78 00:05:27,063 --> 00:05:29,963 The drowning of a back-alley doctor who specialized in prosthetic bodies. 79 00:05:30,593 --> 00:05:33,863 The death of a net-bank president, who was killed when hit by a train. 80 00:05:35,333 --> 00:05:38,103 The stabbing death of a Democratic Party assemblyman. 81 00:05:39,403 --> 00:05:42,733 The shooting death of Densetsu, the popular cyberbrain-rapper. 82 00:05:43,773 --> 00:05:46,143 Threats made against Nanyou Shimbun Press. 83 00:05:46,943 --> 00:05:50,943 And now, the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Kayabuki. 84 00:05:51,613 --> 00:05:55,653 Of these nine cases, it had been believed that the only one... 85 00:05:55,653 --> 00:05:58,983 ...in which a suspect was spotted was the attempted assassination. 86 00:05:59,293 --> 00:06:04,093 However, one other case has been found in which a possible suspect was spotted. 87 00:06:05,333 --> 00:06:09,993 That's news to me. I thought the National Police Agency refused to disclose any information. 88 00:06:10,373 --> 00:06:15,633 They did. Unlike during the Laughing Man case, they are taking this one quite seriously. 89 00:06:15,943 --> 00:06:19,143 Admittedly, this is creating unnecessary barriers. 90 00:06:19,743 --> 00:06:21,643 This footage didn't come from the police, 91 00:06:21,643 --> 00:06:25,313 but is rather something I obtained personally from an involved party. 92 00:06:25,583 --> 00:06:27,343 From a Nanyou reporter, huh? 93 00:06:27,783 --> 00:06:33,653 That's right. Because of the Nanyou Shimbun's critical stance against the refugee policy, 94 00:06:34,123 --> 00:06:38,463 they've had shots fired into their building by the Individual Eleven on three separate occasions. 95 00:06:38,863 --> 00:06:45,603 And this man showed up on their security cameras on every one of those occasions. 96 00:06:46,403 --> 00:06:48,343 His name is Sho Kawashima. 97 00:06:48,673 --> 00:06:51,913 He started working as a Taiwanese vegetarian cook... 98 00:06:51,913 --> 00:06:55,343 ...at a restaurant near the Nanyou building about a month ago. 99 00:06:55,913 --> 00:06:58,943 I turned up the fact that he used to be an officer in the SDA. 100 00:06:59,453 --> 00:07:00,883 Where'd this intel come from? 101 00:07:00,883 --> 00:07:05,013 I sent Military Intelligence his face's structural data and got their assistance. 102 00:07:05,723 --> 00:07:10,283 So in other words, we're on better terms with the military than the police now. Huh? 103 00:07:11,163 --> 00:07:14,063 So, what do you want us to do with this guy? 104 00:07:14,933 --> 00:07:16,573 For starters, take him into custody. 105 00:07:16,573 --> 00:07:19,803 Look for anything of significance hidden in his ideology and background. 106 00:07:20,403 --> 00:07:24,433 At present, we can't prove any connection between the CIS and the Individual Eleven, 107 00:07:24,743 --> 00:07:27,243 but if we unravel the thread of what vector was used... 108 00:07:27,243 --> 00:07:29,953 ...to cause these standalone terrorist groups to appear, 109 00:07:29,953 --> 00:07:32,243 we should also find out what they hope to accomplish. 110 00:07:33,053 --> 00:07:34,543 You might be right. 111 00:07:35,583 --> 00:07:39,783 Batou, Togusa, Saito and Paz, you take Sho Kawashima into custody. 112 00:07:40,393 --> 00:07:43,723 Ishikawa and Borma, you keep digging into Gohda's background... 113 00:07:44,093 --> 00:07:47,363 ...while at the same time investigating the person who attempted to kill the Prime Minister. 114 00:07:47,833 --> 00:07:49,023 Roger. 115 00:08:08,823 --> 00:08:11,383 We're finally acting like ourselves again, 116 00:08:11,893 --> 00:08:14,293 but I can't say that I understand these guys at all. 117 00:08:14,593 --> 00:08:16,923 The Individual Eleven... 118 00:08:17,493 --> 00:08:21,833 The complaints in the other seven cases were all the same old "free the refugees" stuff, 119 00:08:21,833 --> 00:08:23,703 but I don't see anything linking 'em. 120 00:08:24,333 --> 00:08:28,703 Aside from that logo written the letters claiming responsibility, there's no common factor, either. 121 00:08:28,803 --> 00:08:32,543 If this is following the same pattern as the Laughing Man case, 122 00:08:33,343 --> 00:08:35,913 that would make the copycats' original that bunch... 123 00:08:35,913 --> 00:08:38,313 ...that holed themselves up in the Chinese Embassy, wouldn't it? 124 00:08:39,383 --> 00:08:43,113 Well, they were the first ones to call themselves the Individual Eleven... 125 00:08:43,693 --> 00:08:46,553 Yeah, but none of the others have called themselves that. 126 00:08:46,963 --> 00:08:49,653 Even with us, the only reason we know how to read that logo... 127 00:08:49,993 --> 00:08:53,663 ...is that we stumbled across a thinker's essays in the course of investigating the damn thing. 128 00:08:54,203 --> 00:08:56,333 In a standalone-type crime, 129 00:08:56,333 --> 00:09:00,733 the intermediary who provides the motivation isn't necessarily the original, remember? 130 00:09:01,243 --> 00:09:02,643 Yeah, you're right. 131 00:09:02,943 --> 00:09:08,313 I get more of a sense of originality from the bunch that's using this logo, though. 132 00:09:11,353 --> 00:09:15,113 Nasty! What the hell? This is food for cyborgs! 133 00:09:15,253 --> 00:09:17,813 Relax, it won't kill ya. 134 00:09:18,053 --> 00:09:22,993 It's made of 90% gluten, plus a dash of amino acid based micromachines. 135 00:09:25,263 --> 00:09:27,023 Hey.

But judging from the date on it, 180 00:11:50,973 --> 00:11:54,943 this thing was written a long time before the Laughing Man incident. 181 00:11:55,813 --> 00:12:01,013 After that, he studied Information Science, Information Ethics, and Applied Informatics, 182 00:12:01,483 --> 00:12:03,683 and then got a job at a private company for a while. 183 00:12:03,993 --> 00:12:04,923 Private company? 184 00:12:06,623 --> 00:12:09,323 A mega-multinational that's known to everybody now... 185 00:12:09,323 --> 00:12:12,863 ...for their prosthetic body technology and micromachine fabrication. 186 00:12:12,863 --> 00:12:14,893 Poseidon Industrial. 187 00:12:15,403 --> 00:12:17,873 Back then, they were Greater Japan Technical Research. 188 00:12:25,073 --> 00:12:27,743 Take the superhighway and head for Hakata. 189 00:12:28,213 --> 00:12:29,613 Understood, sir. 190 00:12:33,223 --> 00:12:34,383 It's me. 191 00:12:34,723 --> 00:12:38,353 Sorry, Aramaki, but I won't be able to get away for long. 192 00:12:38,853 --> 00:12:40,343 When will you get here? 193 00:12:40,763 --> 00:12:42,193 Right on time.

Even I know that much. 202 00:13:16,423 --> 00:13:22,293 Guess again. That's a mock eel dish that's made out of gluten and shiitake mushrooms. 203 00:13:23,633 --> 00:13:25,233 Taiwanese vegetarian cooking. 204 00:13:25,233 --> 00:13:28,703 What they call Su Shi is a special, time-honored cooking style... 205 00:13:28,703 --> 00:13:31,193 ...that was independently developed by Buddhist priests. 206 00:13:32,043 --> 00:13:34,033 It's like Buddhist vegan cooking? 207 00:13:34,543 --> 00:13:35,643 Yeah, sorta. 208 00:13:35,943 --> 00:13:40,143 Unlike Japanese Buddhist vegan cuisine, though, it doesn't cook its ingredients as-is. 209 00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:45,183 It plays around with beans and mushrooms to duplicate meat and fish. 210 00:13:45,853 --> 00:13:49,623 It's pretty much the same as that sandwich that you didn't finish eating. 211 00:13:51,793 --> 00:13:53,393 Are you serious? 212 00:13:54,863 --> 00:14:00,323 But why would those Taiwanese priests have come up with such an elaborate cooking style? 213 00:14:01,143 --> 00:14:04,773 If they never knew what meat tasted like, there wouldn't be any need for it, right? 214 00:14:05,073 --> 00:14:06,583 True enough. 215 00:14:06,583 --> 00:14:10,773 But before people join the priesthood, they can eat whatever they want. 216 00:14:11,553 --> 00:14:15,483 You can meditate all you want, but you're never gonna be able to erase those memories. 217 00:14:16,023 --> 00:14:17,543 I guess that makes sense. 218 00:14:17,823 --> 00:14:19,723 Still, you sure seem to know a lot about this. 219 00:14:20,193 --> 00:14:23,323 Don't tell me that you get nostalgic for the taste of the real thing, too, Big Man. 220 00:14:25,133 --> 00:14:28,463 The brain has cravings for food, even when you're a cyborg. 221 00:14:28,703 --> 00:14:32,533 That's exactly why they make novelty food for cyborgs. 222 00:14:34,003 --> 00:14:39,003 Taste as a playback device for past memories, huh? 223 00:14:39,943 --> 00:14:42,273 Where would this Kawashima guy have learned how to make this stuff? 224 00:14:42,713 --> 00:14:46,373 He probably picked it up while he was stationed in Taiwan. 225 00:14:46,953 --> 00:14:48,753 Keep your eyes peeled, you guys. 226 00:14:50,593 --> 00:14:51,853 Yes sir! 227 00:14:51,853 --> 00:14:53,083 What's up?

233 00:15:13,583 --> 00:15:14,683 {\an8}You've got it all wrong. 234 00:15:14,683 --> 00:15:17,373 {\an8}They haven't come forward because this administration is weak. 235 00:15:18,013 --> 00:15:20,983 {\an8}Defense-minded assemblymen were mulling over the New U.S.-Japan Security Treaty... 236 00:15:20,983 --> 00:15:23,353 {\an8}...long before the present administration took office. 237 00:15:23,853 --> 00:15:26,693 {\an8}They were thinking that they could take the initiative from America. 238 00:15:27,493 --> 00:15:31,023 {\an8}That means that the individualists were already present while that was going on. 239 00:15:31,593 --> 00:15:34,193 {\an8}On the contrary, the thing that provoked the individualists... 240 00:15:34,263 --> 00:15:37,163 {\an8}... is the three million refugees that are eating up our tax money! 241 00:15:38,273 --> 00:15:40,973 {\an8}They were thinking, "It's time for this country to finally stand up... 242 00:15:39,813 --> 00:15:41,313 Dobashi 243 00:15:41,343 --> 00:15:43,273 {\an8}"...and do something about those people!" 244 00:15:44,943 --> 00:15:46,413 Now this is interesting. 245 00:15:46,473 --> 00:15:49,913 {\an8}If that's true, we never should have taken them in in the first place. 246 00:15:50,453 --> 00:15:52,413 {\an8}Talk like that will ruin your career. 247 00:15:52,413 --> 00:15:55,053 {\an8}But do you have any idea how big an increase in our tax rate... 248 00:15:55,053 --> 00:15:58,453 {\an8}... the Refugee Action Policy caused after that? 249 00:15:58,453 --> 00:16:02,993 {\an8}And that tax money is vanishing into the darkness under the pretext of the Refugee Action Policy. 250 00:16:02,393 --> 00:16:03,633 Is anyone there? 251 00:16:02,993 --> 00:16:06,493 {\an8}I have no idea why the ruling party doesn't abandon... 252 00:16:03,933 --> 00:16:09,433 Bring me a disk with the recording of the debate show that's on channel 3-3 right now. 253 00:16:06,493 --> 00:16:10,403 {\an8}... that action policy that's nothing more than a facilitator for criminal activity. 254 00:16:09,433 --> 00:16:10,403 Understood. 255 00:16:10,633 --> 00:16:12,733 And keep on recording it, of course. 256 00:16:11,273 --> 00:16:12,733 {\an8}It's no surprise. 257 00:16:12,733 --> 00:16:16,043 {\an8}Listen, if the refugees are ever suddenly provoked by something, 258 00:16:16,043 --> 00:16:18,513 {\an8}that is when they will truly go out of control. 259 00:16:19,473 --> 00:16:22,613 {\an8}What's commonly referred to as suicide bombings... 260 00:16:22,613 --> 00:16:26,553 {\an8}... is a weapon of last resort used when people lose the last shred of hope for their future. 261 00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:31,483 {\an8}That's why it's vital that we encourage them to support themselves economically. 262 00:16:31,853 --> 00:16:34,363 {\an8}Give them freedom under the guise of liberation. 263 00:16:34,363 --> 00:16:36,323 {\an8}What in the world are you saying? 264 00:16:36,323 --> 00:16:39,933 {\an8}The refugees won't be able to solve their own problems... 265 00:16:39,933 --> 00:16:42,533 {\an8}... just by granting them freedom, and you know it! 266 00:17:01,923 --> 00:17:05,043 Tachikoma.

Hurry up and tell us! 284 00:17:47,463 --> 00:17:49,593 {\an8}Have you ever seen this logo? 285 00:17:50,973 --> 00:17:54,263 {\an8}Looks like it's regular van that's registered to a retail chain. 286 00:17:54,973 --> 00:17:55,603 {\an8}Oh, it is? 287 00:17:55,603 --> 00:17:58,173 {\an8}This logo is the one thing in common on all of the letters... 288 00:17:58,173 --> 00:18:01,013 {\an8}... sent in as claims of responsibility for the crimes. 289 00:18:01,183 --> 00:18:03,483 {\an8}I haven't heard anything about that. 290 00:18:01,183 --> 00:18:03,983 How the hell does he know that? 291 00:18:03,483 --> 00:18:07,453 {\an8}Neither have I. Who's your source? 292 00:18:03,983 --> 00:18:07,453 How's it going? You leaving all the lookout work to the Tachikoma? 293 00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:10,093 {\an8}Well, that's a trade secret. 294 00:18:07,583 --> 00:18:09,253 No, I... 295 00:18:10,093 --> 00:18:12,083 {\an8}That's not very convincing, then. 296 00:18:11,193 --> 00:18:12,083 Here. 297 00:18:12,693 --> 00:18:17,993 {\an8}In that case, you might be a little surprised when you learn how this logo is read. 298 00:18:13,393 --> 00:18:15,063 Is this any time for us to be eating that stuff? 299 00:18:15,823 --> 00:18:17,993 Now what's your problem? This is the real thing. 300 00:18:17,993 --> 00:18:19,023 That's not what I meant! 301 00:18:19,433 --> 00:18:24,133 This guy here... I think he's a member of a reporter group that I met with earlier, 302 00:18:19,633 --> 00:18:22,633 {\an8}The proper reading for this logo is "The Individual Eleven." 303 00:18:23,233 --> 00:18:28,173 {\an8}While that name is taken from the title of an essay written some fifty years ago, 304 00:18:24,473 --> 00:18:28,103 and he knows top-secret information about the Individual Eleven case. 305 00:18:28,173 --> 00:18:30,743 {\an8}The groups behind these incidents who use this name... 306 00:18:30,743 --> 00:18:33,643 {\an8}... are individual groups that have appeared without any ties with one another, 307 00:18:33,643 --> 00:18:37,103 {\an8}and are all motivated by the goal of refugee liberation. 308 00:18:37,413 --> 00:18:41,253 {\an8}Individualists whose first appearance coincided with... 309 00:18:37,413 --> 00:18:39,483 What the hell is this guy saying? 310 00:18:41,253 --> 00:18:43,953 {\an8}... the GSDA helicopters circling in the skies above the refugee town. 311 00:18:44,293 --> 00:18:49,123 {\an8}These groups are motivated agents who are genuinely trying to liberate the refugees. 312 00:18:46,423 --> 00:18:49,123 I hadn't thought of this method of infection... 313 00:18:49,663 --> 00:18:50,593 Yes, sir. 314 00:18:50,023 --> 00:18:54,763 {\an8}I hate to interrupt, but we have to take a commercial break. 315 00:18:50,593 --> 00:18:53,503 We can't tarnish the good name of the police, so I thought... 316 00:18:53,503 --> 00:18:55,063 ...this would make a good incendiary device. 317 00:18:55,163 --> 00:18:58,703 I suppose it is.
