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
00:01:35,123 --> 00:01:36,863
Manage to dig up
anything on him?
19
00:01:36,863 --> 00:01:38,163
I'm not making
much progress.
20
00:01:39,063 --> 00:01:41,333
Their protection's
tougher than I thought.
21
00:01:41,803 --> 00:01:45,233
The Intelligence Agency is the newest
administrative organization, after all.
22
00:01:45,303 --> 00:01:47,973
It was created by uniting various
prewar intelligence agencies...
23
00:01:47,973 --> 00:01:49,913
...and the old Defense
Policy Bureau.
24
00:01:49,913 --> 00:01:53,863
But I found evidence of multiple instances of
illegal information manipulation relating to...
25
00:01:54,043 --> 00:01:57,313
...the gathering and analysis of foreign and
domestic information, as well as SDA activity,
26
00:01:57,313 --> 00:02:03,743
inside that Strategic Influence Investigatory
Committee that Gohda's assigned to.
27
00:02:04,623 --> 00:02:07,383
And the plutonium incident
was among them, huh?
28
00:02:07,823 --> 00:02:09,233
That's right.
29
00:02:09,233 --> 00:02:10,593
What about his
personal history?
30
00:02:10,933 --> 00:02:13,363
He was part of the group that was headhunted
from the Defense Policy Bureau,
31
00:02:13,363 --> 00:02:15,923
...and he quickly rose
to his current position.
32
00:02:16,403 --> 00:02:21,343
But his record at the time wasn't anything
special. 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. Any luck?
136
00:09:27,903 --> 00:09:30,893
Nothing. He hasn't gone home
to his apartment in over four days.
137
00:09:31,333 --> 00:09:33,563
I'll try staking out the
newspaper building.
138
00:09:33,803 --> 00:09:34,863
Right.
139
00:09:36,443 --> 00:09:40,843
Looks like we got a late start. Even hot tips are
useless when they go past their best-by date.
140
00:09:42,043 --> 00:09:45,543
What now, Major?
Want us to maintain our stakeout?
141
00:09:45,583 --> 00:09:50,253
Taking him into custody is our top priority,
so all we can do is play the odds.
142
00:09:50,853 --> 00:09:53,653
The Nanyou Shimbun Press
is still receiving threats,
143
00:09:53,893 --> 00:09:56,653
and he'd been showing up to work
at the restaurant until yesterday.
144
00:09:56,863 --> 00:09:58,833
We're not exactly taking
an active role here, though.
145
00:09:58,893 --> 00:10:01,693
I've sent out reinforcements
to cover our bets.
146
00:10:02,063 --> 00:10:05,303
Our stakeout isn't gonna get any more
efficient with just three Tachikomas.
147
00:10:05,733 --> 00:10:07,533
Don't be like that,
Togusa buddy!
148
00:10:07,873 --> 00:10:11,273
We can maintain our individuality
even while we're synchronized now,
149
00:10:11,443 --> 00:10:14,143
and we've even had agent
functions installed!
150
00:10:14,313 --> 00:10:15,573
Boo-yah!
151
00:10:18,253 --> 00:10:21,553
It's kinda like we're able to do that
"astral projection" thing now.
152
00:10:21,623 --> 00:10:23,683
This way, we can go off and
constantly absorb data...
153
00:10:23,753 --> 00:10:26,553
... while our bodies stay
in place at the scene!
154
00:10:26,693 --> 00:10:29,753
We call it a
"data smörgåsbord"!
155
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:31,393
That's enough chatter!
156
00:10:31,393 --> 00:10:34,693
Batou, increase the IR-System's
search functions...
157
00:10:35,133 --> 00:10:37,623
... and actively track down Kawashima
and take him into custody.
158
00:10:37,933 --> 00:10:38,903
Roger.
159
00:10:39,133 --> 00:10:40,833
Smörgåsbord! Smörgåsbord!
160
00:10:41,103 --> 00:10:44,563
When the heck did the Major
upgrade those guys?
161
00:10:45,043 --> 00:10:48,603
You have to admit, we have
been shorthanded lately.
162
00:10:51,913 --> 00:10:53,853
Gosh, there's no sign
of this guy anywhere.
163
00:10:54,353 --> 00:10:57,393
You'd think that you'd be able to
track somebody down for sure...
164
00:10:57,393 --> 00:10:59,853
... if they tried to swap into
a PKF-use prosthetic body.
165
00:11:00,223 --> 00:11:02,383
Maybe he's not
in the country anymore.
166
00:11:02,793 --> 00:11:05,853
Almost makes you doubt the CIS'
information manipulation, doesn't it?
167
00:11:06,433 --> 00:11:10,333
Major, I found something interesting
on a local net.
168
00:11:10,903 --> 00:11:13,203
It's Gohda's senior thesis
from when he was a student.
169
00:11:13,903 --> 00:11:15,973
"Given that Cyberbrains
Govern Socialization,"
170
00:11:15,973 --> 00:11:19,243
"Which do they Favor?
Individuality or Collectivity?"
171
00:11:19,613 --> 00:11:22,373
"A Theory of Heroism from
the Standpoint of a Producer."
172
00:11:23,413 --> 00:11:25,913
What he writes in it
is surprisingly interesting.
173
00:11:25,913 --> 00:11:28,853
Like he writes in the title, he suggests
that in our current social structure,
174
00:11:28,853 --> 00:11:32,123
there's a tendency for cyberbrains to instill
a subconscious desire for collectivity...
175
00:11:32,123 --> 00:11:35,423
...at the same time that they
eliminate individuality.
176
00:11:35,693 --> 00:11:39,833
But in response to this, they create
a leader as part of the system...
177
00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:43,263
...who consciously controls the
subconscious of the masses.
178
00:11:44,403 --> 00:11:48,003
Almost sounds like he'd analyzed the
Laughing Man incident, doesn't it?
179
00:11:48,003 --> 00:11:50,973
Yeah. 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.
Why?
194
00:12:42,493 --> 00:12:45,933
Oh, really? In that case,
how about that one restaurant?
195
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:49,023
We shouldn't meet anywhere
too public, after all.
196
00:12:49,333 --> 00:12:50,593
That's all right
with me.
197
00:12:50,673 --> 00:12:53,233
Okay. I'll meet
you there, then.
198
00:13:03,713 --> 00:13:06,113
Man, that looks good...
199
00:13:06,923 --> 00:13:09,713
I've hardly been home
at all lately.
200
00:13:09,993 --> 00:13:12,953
Do you even know
what that is?
201
00:13:13,053 --> 00:13:16,353
Eel, yeah? 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?
228
00:14:56,863 --> 00:15:00,033
{\an8}Our theme tonight is
"The Refugee Issue and Terrorism."
229
00:15:00,033 --> 00:15:03,193
{\an8}I'd like to review your argument again
and see if I have it straight.
230
00:15:03,833 --> 00:15:06,403
{\an8}Are you saying that you believe
the government's carelessness...
231
00:15:06,403 --> 00:15:08,773
{\an8}... in losing sight of its policy objectives
has given rise to individualists,
232
00:15:08,843 --> 00:15:13,583
{\an8}and that extremist elements have appeared who
are looking to a restoration as the answer?
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. Run a match
on that van's plates.
267
00:17:05,293 --> 00:17:06,553
Roger that!
268
00:17:09,023 --> 00:17:11,993
{\an8}Now that we've gone over the
particulars of the various terrorist acts,
269
00:17:10,403 --> 00:17:12,983
Fumiya Dobashi
270
00:17:11,993 --> 00:17:14,193
{\an8}why don't we begin discussing
concrete examples?
271
00:17:11,993 --> 00:17:13,033
Wait a minute...
272
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:17,403
{\an8}Mr. Dobashi, what's this
terrorist incident that you say...
273
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:15,633
His name was on that...
274
00:17:17,403 --> 00:17:19,173
{\an8}... the National Police Agency
is trying to cover up?
275
00:17:19,173 --> 00:17:22,473
{\an8}I believe that everyone here
knows of the incident itself.
276
00:17:22,773 --> 00:17:25,373
{\an8}You're aware that since the takeover
of the Chinese Embassy,
277
00:17:25,373 --> 00:17:28,173
{\an8}there have been roughly eight
terrorist incidents, I take it?
278
00:17:28,843 --> 00:17:31,453
{\an8}You mean the stabbings
of that cyberbrain musician...
279
00:17:31,453 --> 00:17:34,853
{\an8}... and the politician who supported a policy
of reconciliation towards the refugees?
280
00:17:35,083 --> 00:17:36,053
{\an8}Yes, that's right.
281
00:17:36,323 --> 00:17:39,323
{\an8}There is one fact regarding those incidents
that the National Police Agency...
282
00:17:39,323 --> 00:17:41,793
{\an8}... has made no mention of
in their press releases.
283
00:17:41,793 --> 00:17:44,223
{\an8}Stop stringing us along!
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. By the way, what's
being done about the carriers...
318
00:18:58,703 --> 00:19:01,533
...in the Nanyou case and the attempted
assassination of the Prime Minister?
319
00:19:02,073 --> 00:19:05,813
Sir. Regarding the Nanyou carrier, we're already
manipulating Public Security Section 1,
320
00:19:05,813 --> 00:19:08,903
so I believe we'll be able
to affect a purge soon.
321
00:19:09,443 --> 00:19:12,213
As for the carrier who tried
to kill the Prime Minister,
322
00:19:12,213 --> 00:19:14,843
we believe he may be someone who went
to the peninsula as part of a PKF.
323
00:19:15,453 --> 00:19:17,053
His name is
Hideo Kuze.
324
00:19:17,053 --> 00:19:20,093
We arrived at this answer by working
backwards through the infection agents,
325
00:19:20,093 --> 00:19:21,953
so he is probably
our man.
326
00:19:22,523 --> 00:19:24,753
So, it's you, Kuze?
327
00:19:27,933 --> 00:19:30,303
About that man, Gohda...
328
00:19:30,303 --> 00:19:32,473
I've asked people who worked with him
at the Defense Policy Bureau,
329
00:19:32,473 --> 00:19:34,993
but there weren't many people
who remembered him.
330
00:19:35,043 --> 00:19:39,943
Even those who did could only remember
that he wasn't very memorable.
331
00:19:46,513 --> 00:19:50,353
But I did find the records of his psychoanalysis
testing from when he was employed there.
332
00:19:50,753 --> 00:19:54,053
Introverted, but has a strong sense of self
and desire to court publicity.
333
00:19:54,523 --> 00:19:58,393
On the contrary, has tendency
to use others to express himself.
334
00:19:59,033 --> 00:20:02,023
That presents a somewhat different picture
from the man he is now.
335
00:20:02,803 --> 00:20:04,793
What's the matter?
Aren't you going to eat?
336
00:20:05,203 --> 00:20:07,693
It tastes the same
as it did in the old days.
337
00:20:07,973 --> 00:20:10,063
The same as the old
days, huh?
338
00:20:12,373 --> 00:20:16,783
And about that SDA officer named Kawashima
that you asked me about a while ago...
339
00:20:17,253 --> 00:20:19,843
I also had some inquiries about him
from Public Security Section 1.
340
00:20:20,153 --> 00:20:23,993
They came to us and asked for his facial data
because a hitman named Wong Chu Ren...
341
00:20:23,993 --> 00:20:27,853
...had taken Kawashima's face
and was hiding out in Chinatown.
342
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:30,023
Why didn't you tell
me that earlier?!
343
00:20:31,163 --> 00:20:33,563
I just assumed that they'd already
contacted you about it.
344
00:20:33,933 --> 00:20:34,993
Major!
345
00:20:35,463 --> 00:20:39,233
It's strange that Section 1 would also be
involved in this in addition to the Nanyou case.
346
00:20:39,303 --> 00:20:41,133
Hurry up and get word
to Batou and the others.
347
00:20:41,203 --> 00:20:42,673
I'm already on it.
348
00:20:43,813 --> 00:20:45,543
Wong Chu Ren?
349
00:20:45,543 --> 00:20:48,173
The guy's an international
terrorist from Taiwan.
350
00:20:48,613 --> 00:20:50,683
The top brass have issued
a termination order on him,
351
00:20:50,683 --> 00:20:52,743
but I've never heard anything
about him changing faces.
352
00:20:52,953 --> 00:20:56,683
So, are we being played,
or is Section 1?
353
00:20:56,883 --> 00:20:59,113
Either way, the timing of this
is awfully fishy.
354
00:20:59,353 --> 00:21:02,553
Tachikoma! Just to be safe, secure the guys
in that truck from earlier.
355
00:21:03,193 --> 00:21:06,683
Mr. Batou! The subject just appeared
in alley behind the restaurant!
356
00:21:06,933 --> 00:21:07,833
Wha...?
357
00:21:18,343 --> 00:21:21,743
This country is too luxurious
for refugees to live in.
358
00:21:22,343 --> 00:21:25,713
But it's not affluent enough to
be able to take in any refugees.
359
00:21:30,393 --> 00:21:32,183
Wong Chu Ren, I presume?
360
00:21:36,823 --> 00:21:37,893
Keep 'em pinned down!
361
00:21:37,893 --> 00:21:38,883
Roger!
362
00:21:44,203 --> 00:21:45,673
Put down your guns!
363
00:21:47,073 --> 00:21:48,133
Kawashima!
364
00:21:52,743 --> 00:21:53,943
Who the hell
are you people?
365
00:21:53,943 --> 00:21:55,173
On the ground!
366
00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:02,483
I'm sorry...
367
00:22:03,023 --> 00:22:05,953
The alley was too narrow for me
to act as a shield for him.
368
00:22:06,293 --> 00:22:07,853
You guys must be
Section 1.
369
00:22:07,963 --> 00:22:09,153
Who are you?
370
00:22:09,263 --> 00:22:10,923
We're in the same
line of work.
371
00:22:11,233 --> 00:22:12,723
Take a good look
at his face.
372
00:22:13,033 --> 00:22:15,693
He's got prosthetics,
but his face ain't one of 'em.
373
00:22:16,203 --> 00:22:18,763
In other words,
this guy ain't Wong Chu Ren.
374
00:22:19,733 --> 00:22:23,973
What's going on here? The intel
we had at Section 1 was solid.
375
00:22:25,813 --> 00:22:27,273
You guys work
with Motoko...
376
00:22:27,683 --> 00:22:32,483
This means you guys just got played.
Just like we did.
377
00:22:32,483 --> 00:22:34,483
378
00:23:09,643 --> 00:23:12,143
Finding out a galaxy...
379
00:23:12,143 --> 00:23:16,103
...of planets and stars within me...
380
00:23:16,293 --> 00:23:18,763
Listening to each of them...
381
00:23:18,763 --> 00:23:22,753
...singing the same silent melody...
382
00:23:22,753 --> 00:23:26,763
I've never seen such beauty...
383
00:23:26,763 --> 00:23:30,053
In possibility...
384
00:23:30,053 --> 00:23:34,563
No speck of doubt or fear...
385
00:23:34,563 --> 00:23:36,053
Wake up!
386
00:23:36,053 --> 00:23:38,753
I hear a voice,
387
00:23:38,753 --> 00:23:42,693
hear a voice calling out to me...
388
00:23:42,693 --> 00:23:45,203
I see inside,
389
00:23:45,203 --> 00:23:48,733
see the light now ever holding me...
390
00:23:48,733 --> 00:23:52,073
All the truth, all I need...
391
00:23:52,073 --> 00:23:56,873
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
392
00:23:56,873 --> 00:24:02,683
The beauty within the shell...
393
00:24:02,683 --> 00:24:05,383
I hear a voice,
394
00:24:05,383 --> 00:24:09,323
hear a voice calling out to me...
395
00:24:09,323 --> 00:24:11,833
I see inside,
396
00:24:11,833 --> 00:24:15,363
see the light now ever holding me...
397
00:24:15,363 --> 00:24:18,703
All the truth, all I need...
398
00:24:18,703 --> 00:24:23,503
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
399
00:24:23,503 --> 00:24:28,163
Right here within the shell...
