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
00:01:33,253 --> 00:01:35,313
Hey, look at this!
19
00:01:35,693 --> 00:01:38,633
I found a top-secret file on
the Individual Eleven...
20
00:01:38,693 --> 00:01:41,003
...in the National Police Agency's
server array!
21
00:01:41,003 --> 00:01:42,623
Really? Show us!
Show us!
22
00:01:42,703 --> 00:01:43,893
That's very interesting,
all right...
23
00:01:43,973 --> 00:01:44,623
Let's see here...
24
00:01:44,703 --> 00:01:45,793
I wanna see, too!
25
00:01:45,873 --> 00:01:46,703
Where is it?
26
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:47,563
It's this one.
27
00:01:47,673 --> 00:01:49,233
I'm impressed that
you found this.
28
00:01:49,473 --> 00:01:51,203
I wish I could look
at it, too...
29
00:01:51,273 --> 00:01:54,713
Come on, now. You shouldn't dive into
places like that without permission.
30
00:01:54,913 --> 00:01:57,283
Nothing on this Earth
can stop their curiosity.
31
00:01:57,613 --> 00:02:00,243
If they come across any inappropriate
data, we'll just delete it.
32
00:02:00,653 --> 00:02:02,673
Our main priority is
hardware maintenance.
33
00:02:04,253 --> 00:02:06,193
You're too soft
on them, sir.
34
00:02:07,123 --> 00:02:09,493
I can't believe you let them buy you off
with a souvenir like that...
35
00:02:13,033 --> 00:02:17,123
A man in a red lab coat...
is eating red bean jam sweets.
36
00:02:18,173 --> 00:02:21,863
The man with a sweet tooth...
was too sweet.
37
00:02:23,973 --> 00:02:25,803
That wasn't very funny.
38
00:02:37,693 --> 00:02:39,883
Sounds like you guys are having
a good time in here.
39
00:02:40,693 --> 00:02:41,923
Mr. Batou!
40
00:02:41,993 --> 00:02:44,253
You aren't up to your
usual mischief, are you?
41
00:02:44,563 --> 00:02:47,153
You're hurting our feelings, Togusa!
Mischief... As if!
42
00:02:47,633 --> 00:02:51,793
We were looking into the Individual
Eleven in our own little way.
43
00:02:52,133 --> 00:02:54,573
I mean, you can't even create a vaccine
for that virus that Borma found...
44
00:02:54,643 --> 00:02:58,113
...because you can't pinpoint the
factor that triggers it, right?
45
00:02:58,113 --> 00:02:59,003
Yeah, yeah...
46
00:02:59,073 --> 00:03:01,173
Well, that's certainly true.
47
00:03:01,243 --> 00:03:02,443
Right?
48
00:03:02,513 --> 00:03:05,743
So we tried looking through
the data that the police have.
49
00:03:06,253 --> 00:03:09,483
Take a look at this! We checked out the
eleven people who killed themselves,
50
00:03:09,553 --> 00:03:12,543
and it looks like they have lots of things
in common, including the jobs they had.
51
00:03:12,953 --> 00:03:15,453
Former Self-Defense officers, police
officers, and mercenaries, too.
52
00:03:15,663 --> 00:03:20,563
And another point that can't be ignored is
that each had a prosthetics level over 50%.
53
00:03:20,763 --> 00:03:25,723
Also, they say that there are about 20,000
virus carriers that they know of, right?
54
00:03:25,833 --> 00:03:28,203
If we don't hurry up
and create a vaccine,
55
00:03:28,203 --> 00:03:33,543
there's no guarantee that there won't be
more victims like that reporter Togusa met.
56
00:03:35,283 --> 00:03:37,543
That isn't your job.
57
00:03:37,853 --> 00:03:39,073
Aw, but...
58
00:03:39,353 --> 00:03:44,053
We've asked Spring-8 to handle the
examination of the dead Individual Eleven.
59
00:03:45,153 --> 00:03:49,253
That's why we're on our way out there
to meet up with the Major.
60
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:53,583
The Major said to bring
one of you with us.
61
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:56,463
- Oo, that sounds like fun!
- Take me, take me!
62
00:03:57,033 --> 00:03:59,903
But I guess we can't take any of you if you'll
be missing your maintenance check.
63
00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:03,493
Over here! Over here!
I'm done with my maintenance!
64
00:04:04,843 --> 00:04:06,903
You are, huh?
Okay, let's go.
65
00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:08,073
Yes, sir!
66
00:04:08,143 --> 00:04:09,773
Figures, it's his
personal unit.
67
00:04:14,553 --> 00:04:16,853
Huh? Hey!
68
00:04:17,623 --> 00:04:19,553
C'mon, wait for me!
69
00:04:22,493 --> 00:04:23,923
What's going on?
70
00:04:26,393 --> 00:04:28,263
I hadn't given it
its oil yet...
71
00:04:32,103 --> 00:04:35,663
What's going on around here?!
He always gets to go!
72
00:04:35,743 --> 00:04:37,033
It's strange...
73
00:04:37,243 --> 00:04:40,673
We haven't had natural oil put in us
since we got these new bodies,
74
00:04:40,943 --> 00:04:44,743
so why do you suppose he still has his
position as Mr. Batou's personal unit?
75
00:04:45,483 --> 00:04:48,113
And I get the impression that the
differentiation in our individuality...
76
00:04:48,183 --> 00:04:50,153
...is even stronger
than before, too.
77
00:04:50,423 --> 00:04:53,183
Hey, Proto, why do you
think that is?
78
00:04:53,593 --> 00:04:55,493
I can't really say.
79
00:04:55,863 --> 00:04:59,523
Maybe it's because we set up
a main server for you,
80
00:04:59,593 --> 00:05:03,763
and you were reprogrammed to allow you
to keep individual information separate.
81
00:05:07,003 --> 00:05:09,333
You'd better start
behaving yourselves!
82
00:05:09,703 --> 00:05:11,703
Otherwise, we'll never
be finished!
83
00:05:25,893 --> 00:05:28,723
We can talk here without being
bothered by anyone, right?
84
00:05:28,793 --> 00:05:31,163
Yeah. And the passage of time
doesn't apply here, either.
85
00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:33,233
Anyway, to get back
to what I was saying,
86
00:05:33,293 --> 00:05:36,563
setting aside those Individual Eleven that
they think had manifested virus symptoms,
87
00:05:36,863 --> 00:05:38,703
what do you think about
these "individualists"?
88
00:05:39,003 --> 00:05:42,633
For people who stress the importance of
individuality, didn't they seem to lack it to you?
89
00:05:43,273 --> 00:05:44,473
That's certainly true.
90
00:05:44,713 --> 00:05:47,143
They may say that they look for value
in their individual differences...
91
00:05:47,213 --> 00:05:50,273
...by searching for isolation on the net
or for proof of their own existence,
92
00:05:50,683 --> 00:05:53,773
but their attempts to reject people
with different ideas...
93
00:05:53,883 --> 00:05:56,153
...is one factor that binds them
all together, don't you think?
94
00:05:56,253 --> 00:05:57,513
Yeah, you're right!
95
00:05:57,693 --> 00:05:59,923
I think that they're a group that seemed
to have an identity, but didn't.
96
00:05:59,993 --> 00:06:01,823
They're people who tried so hard
to find individuality...
97
00:06:01,893 --> 00:06:03,883
...that they lapsed into a state
of non-individuality.
98
00:06:03,963 --> 00:06:07,993
In a sense, I get the feeling that
these people are the opposite of us.
99
00:06:08,103 --> 00:06:09,123
I think you're right.
100
00:06:09,403 --> 00:06:11,763
Even though we're obligated
to synchronize with each other,
101
00:06:11,873 --> 00:06:14,393
we somehow managed to acquire
individuality at one point.
102
00:06:14,803 --> 00:06:18,293
And now that we've got them to respect
those differences as individuality,
103
00:06:18,443 --> 00:06:21,343
we only have to synchronize
vital information now.
104
00:06:22,713 --> 00:06:26,513
If that's the case, and these individualists
have become a group that's free of identity...
105
00:06:26,613 --> 00:06:29,313
...exactly because they are
trying to be individuals,
106
00:06:29,683 --> 00:06:34,353
who is it who makes the decisions
of the group as a complex entity?
107
00:06:34,563 --> 00:06:37,763
As far as the Individual Eleven go, I'd say
that the one who made the decisions...
108
00:06:37,763 --> 00:06:39,823
...was Gohda of the Cabinet
Intelligence Service.
109
00:06:39,893 --> 00:06:43,093
But they say that the terrorists who attacked
the Chinese embassy were individualists...
110
00:06:43,163 --> 00:06:47,663
...who turned up on their own, not because
of a virus or whatever, remember?
111
00:06:47,943 --> 00:06:51,533
Admittedly, some sociologists say that
the copycats who turned out in droves...
112
00:06:51,613 --> 00:06:54,513
...during the Laughing Man incident
are the real origin of the phenomenon.
113
00:06:54,943 --> 00:07:00,383
If that's true, wouldn't that mean that in
their minds, they shared a common vision...
114
00:07:00,453 --> 00:07:04,483
...that resembled this current situation even
before Gohda got involved with his plans?
115
00:07:04,793 --> 00:07:07,813
Making the expulsion of refugees the
general consensus of the citizenry, huh?
116
00:07:08,023 --> 00:07:11,053
If you're going to put it like that, it means
that the refugees were already...
117
00:07:11,133 --> 00:07:14,863
...carrying out terrorist acts even before the
Individual Eleven came onto the scene, right?
118
00:07:15,163 --> 00:07:18,503
It's pretty strange. Even though
no one is issuing commands,
119
00:07:18,573 --> 00:07:21,233
all the parties involved spontaneously
began to move in the same direction.
120
00:07:21,503 --> 00:07:24,203
Or maybe humans have a third identity
for making decisions.
121
00:07:24,273 --> 00:07:27,213
Something besides the individual
or the collective.
122
00:07:27,543 --> 00:07:28,973
What do you mean?
123
00:07:32,383 --> 00:07:35,713
For instance, there's Dawkins, who looked
for the promotion of the self...
124
00:07:35,783 --> 00:07:37,613
...in genes on the
micro level,
125
00:07:37,693 --> 00:07:41,523
and Lovelock, who focused on the extreme
macro level, on an Earth-scale body.
126
00:07:40,323 --> 00:07:41,923
{\an8}The Earth biosphere!
127
00:07:41,523 --> 00:07:44,623
The two of them published works
at roughly the same time that,
128
00:07:44,693 --> 00:07:46,533
although they had opposing themes,
could be said...
129
00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:48,033
{\an8}This one! This one!
130
00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:49,023
...to have arrived at roughly
the same conclusion.
131
00:07:49,103 --> 00:07:50,653
What kinda stuff is
written in there?
132
00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:52,933
I guess it's about how humans
are the most logical entity,
133
00:07:53,003 --> 00:07:54,763
as well as the smallest unit
possessing consciousness,
134
00:07:55,073 --> 00:07:58,733
and they both postulate and refer to the
existence of the holonic architecture...
135
00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:02,003
...of a species that is both greater than
and smaller than itself.
136
00:08:02,083 --> 00:08:04,743
On other words, they imply that
the factor that's determining...
137
00:08:04,853 --> 00:08:07,253
...the actions of both the individualists
and the refugees...
138
00:08:07,313 --> 00:08:10,153
...either exists on the micro level
and is smaller than each person,
139
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:13,123
or is on the macro level, and
is greater than the group.
140
00:08:13,223 --> 00:08:14,453
Gosh, that's hard
to follow...
141
00:08:14,523 --> 00:08:15,853
It's simple!
142
00:08:15,963 --> 00:08:20,623
It means that as it is now, the net, which didn't
exist before humanity called it into existence,
143
00:08:20,733 --> 00:08:26,723
loosely comprises a subconscious mind in the
form of the general consensus of the whole...
144
00:08:27,103 --> 00:08:30,703
...via their mental-level net and the electronic
network which now covers most of the Earth.
145
00:08:30,773 --> 00:08:33,003
...that loosely forms a subconscious mind in the
form of the general consensus of the whole!
146
00:08:33,073 --> 00:08:33,973
You follow me?
147
00:08:34,043 --> 00:08:38,983
So what you're saying is, humans' bodies
and minds are already two separate things,
148
00:08:39,053 --> 00:08:41,513
but they haven't
noticed it yet?
149
00:08:41,723 --> 00:08:43,583
That would be my blunt,
personal opinion, yeah.
150
00:08:44,693 --> 00:08:48,093
But we were leaning towards the conclusion
that the body and mind are inseparable!
151
00:08:48,163 --> 00:08:49,923
This change of mind
is a complete 180!
152
00:08:49,993 --> 00:08:54,323
If that's the case, then it would mean
that Gohda deliberately manufactured...
153
00:08:54,363 --> 00:08:57,093
...mediators that would accelerate
that slow process?
154
00:08:58,073 --> 00:08:59,403
Hey!
155
00:09:04,543 --> 00:09:07,063
I'm done.
Hurry up and take my place.
156
00:09:07,543 --> 00:09:10,573
Sorry about that. Our discussion
got pretty heated.
157
00:09:10,853 --> 00:09:12,753
Let me synchronize the data of
what you talked about, okay?
158
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:14,213
Okay.
159
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:23,363
Oh, I get it...
That's an interesting thought.
160
00:09:23,423 --> 00:09:24,323
Isn't it, though?
161
00:09:24,393 --> 00:09:26,763
But there have been times lately
when I've felt like...
162
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:29,493
...my consciousness and my body
were two separate things.
163
00:09:29,803 --> 00:09:30,763
How do you mean?
164
00:09:31,103 --> 00:09:35,263
I guess it was a sensation that I was looking
down at myself from high in the sky.
165
00:09:35,473 --> 00:09:36,833
Hey, I've had that, too!
166
00:09:37,073 --> 00:09:40,533
Are our individual selves
in our individual bodies?
167
00:09:40,613 --> 00:09:43,983
Or is there just one "self" that's shared
between us as a group Tachikoma?
168
00:09:44,113 --> 00:09:47,913
Considering that synchronization is our
natural state, I'd have to say it's the latter.
169
00:09:48,153 --> 00:09:52,553
Yeah, but the will of our god, the Major,
is interposed between the two.
170
00:09:52,653 --> 00:09:55,453
Yeah, but our individualization
still progressing...
171
00:09:55,523 --> 00:09:57,513
...in spite of the fact that
natural oil is banned now.
172
00:09:57,693 --> 00:10:00,463
We ought to be completely homogeneous,
and yet we have individuality.
173
00:10:00,763 --> 00:10:03,163
And if we're subconsciously experiencing
the physical sensation...
174
00:10:03,233 --> 00:10:05,223
...of a disconnect between body
and information, that means...
175
00:10:05,373 --> 00:10:05,963
Could it be?
176
00:10:06,033 --> 00:10:06,473
Could it be?
177
00:10:06,533 --> 00:10:07,363
Could it be?
178
00:10:07,433 --> 00:10:07,733
A Gho...
179
00:10:07,803 --> 00:10:11,003
Hey, wait just a minute. We shouldn't
jump to any conclusions.
180
00:10:11,443 --> 00:10:13,743
Couldn't that simply be a
sense of dissociation...
181
00:10:13,843 --> 00:10:16,313
...caused by the addition of
our agent functionality?
182
00:10:16,483 --> 00:10:19,943
That's possible, all right, but I can't help
but feel that there's a third self somewhere,
183
00:10:20,053 --> 00:10:22,383
something other than the
body and the spirit.
184
00:10:22,483 --> 00:10:23,953
I understand how
you feel.
185
00:10:24,223 --> 00:10:26,813
Back when we fought
that Jigabachi,
186
00:10:27,123 --> 00:10:32,723
I was instantly able to carry out my role as
the Major's "suit" without any fear of death.
187
00:10:33,193 --> 00:10:37,103
When it happened, there was a part
of me somewhere that was detached,
188
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:39,533
saying that my body was
no longer my own.
189
00:10:39,803 --> 00:10:42,773
Was it different from that indescribable
feeling of ecstasy we experienced...
190
00:10:42,803 --> 00:10:45,003
...when we wanted
to save Mr. Batou?
191
00:10:45,173 --> 00:10:49,373
I think so. This was more of a matter-of-fact
action, something programmed into us.
192
00:10:49,443 --> 00:10:51,383
In which case,
I hate to say it,
193
00:10:51,453 --> 00:10:55,853
but that third self you sensed might have
been different from the one in a human.
194
00:10:56,123 --> 00:10:59,093
Besides, we haven't even been
told where the server is...
195
00:10:59,153 --> 00:11:02,353
...that all our shared data
is stored on, remember?
196
00:11:02,893 --> 00:11:06,193
That might be what our
third self really is.
197
00:11:06,793 --> 00:11:10,423
So what we thought was a Ghost
was just a hallucination, huh?
198
00:11:10,663 --> 00:11:13,633
Maybe, but we might need to devote
some more serious thought...
199
00:11:13,703 --> 00:11:16,193
...to that third self that
you said you sensed.
200
00:11:16,373 --> 00:11:18,363
Let me synchronize the data
of the sensation.
201
00:11:19,513 --> 00:11:20,403
Sure.
202
00:11:36,323 --> 00:11:37,883
Is there any chance that
these results are wrong?
203
00:11:38,433 --> 00:11:39,953
Probably not.
204
00:11:40,093 --> 00:11:43,293
We found dissolved fragments
of proteins in the pilot's blood...
205
00:11:43,403 --> 00:11:45,833
...that had once
made up micromachines.
206
00:11:46,373 --> 00:11:48,863
We weren't able to pull any
concrete information about that...
207
00:11:48,943 --> 00:11:52,173
...out of the cyberbrains of those
Individual Eleven guys, though.
208
00:11:52,373 --> 00:11:55,073
These are pretty much the results
that I was expecting.
209
00:11:55,643 --> 00:11:57,843
The pilot's test results
are a major find, though.
210
00:11:58,453 --> 00:12:02,783
Does this mean that we're ruling the pilot's
death as "murder by micromachine"?
211
00:12:03,083 --> 00:12:05,753
Although we can't deny the possibility
that he took them himself.
212
00:12:06,093 --> 00:12:09,183
In a perfect world, there would have been
evidence in the corpse's cyberbrain...
213
00:12:09,263 --> 00:12:13,023
...that the flight of those eleven helicopters
acted as some kind of trigger.
214
00:12:13,093 --> 00:12:14,893
But that's too much
to ask for.
215
00:12:15,203 --> 00:12:16,753
Did you have more luck
with the explosives?
216
00:12:17,003 --> 00:12:22,633
According to our molecular-level analysis, it's
identical to C4 that's made on the peninsula.
217
00:12:23,273 --> 00:12:26,973
These days, they find lots of C4 just like that
among the confiscated goods...
218
00:12:27,273 --> 00:12:29,773
...that come into the country
via the Taiwan smuggling route.
219
00:12:32,883 --> 00:12:33,873
What was that?
220
00:12:34,623 --> 00:12:36,883
Tachikoma! Can you see anything
from where you are?
221
00:12:42,223 --> 00:12:43,923
It looks like there's
been an explosion!
222
00:12:48,333 --> 00:12:52,063
We've been taking on a lot of
terrorism-related investigation work lately.
223
00:12:52,633 --> 00:12:54,763
Maybe that's made us
a target...
224
00:13:00,513 --> 00:13:01,573
Hey, what happened?
225
00:13:01,683 --> 00:13:03,373
Tell us everything
that you know.
226
00:13:03,443 --> 00:13:06,213
Well, sir, it looks like
something exploded...
227
00:13:06,353 --> 00:13:13,413
{\an8}Yes, we have a sector that handles
flammable items. Yes, that's right.
228
00:13:10,023 --> 00:13:12,253
That's weird, nobody's running
out of the building...
229
00:13:12,253 --> 00:13:13,413
Is the place empty?
230
00:13:13,893 --> 00:13:19,693
Actually, we received a threat a few days ago
that said that a bomb would be planted here.
231
00:13:20,093 --> 00:13:21,823
We've been on
heightened alert, but...
232
00:13:22,333 --> 00:13:24,353
Talk about your clouds
with silver linings...
233
00:13:24,633 --> 00:13:28,433
Except there's a possibility that
Dr. Asuda, the chief scientist here,
234
00:13:28,503 --> 00:13:30,703
was working in the building
since this afternoon.
235
00:13:30,803 --> 00:13:32,243
Why didn't you say that
in the first place?!
236
00:13:39,653 --> 00:13:42,013
Major, we're at
the blast center.
237
00:13:42,553 --> 00:13:44,743
From what I can see, this is the kind of
damage you'd get from a gas explosion.
238
00:13:45,793 --> 00:13:46,813
Any casualties?
239
00:13:47,553 --> 00:13:51,553
They said that a scientist by the name of
Asuda was here, but we're still looking.
240
00:13:52,163 --> 00:13:53,223
Asuda?
241
00:13:53,633 --> 00:13:55,723
Tachikoma. Pull up the data
on that researcher.
242
00:13:56,333 --> 00:13:58,633
This is probably the man
that they mean.
243
00:14:00,933 --> 00:14:02,533
Um...
244
00:14:03,073 --> 00:14:04,263
Hm? What's up?
245
00:14:04,343 --> 00:14:08,003
The thing is, I've seen this
person before somewhere.
246
00:14:09,813 --> 00:14:12,373
Maybe you met him when they were running
a structural analysis on you guys.
247
00:14:13,013 --> 00:14:17,423
That's what I thought at first, too, but there's
no matching records in my memory.
248
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:21,723
HQ, check the IR Systems on all roads that
have access to Itami and Niihama airports...
249
00:14:21,923 --> 00:14:23,913
...as well as the ones inside
the airports themselves,
250
00:14:23,993 --> 00:14:26,893
and see if they've picked up anyone
who matches Dr. Asuda's records.
251
00:14:27,263 --> 00:14:28,663
Understood.
252
00:14:29,163 --> 00:14:30,893
Major, what's the story?
253
00:14:30,963 --> 00:14:34,333
I'll explain later. Hand over the scene to the
local cops and come back to the tilt-rotor.
254
00:14:35,043 --> 00:14:37,003
He's probably headed
for Niihama Airport.
255
00:14:40,373 --> 00:14:41,273
Guys!
256
00:14:41,613 --> 00:14:43,103
Geez, you don't
have to shout.
257
00:14:44,013 --> 00:14:47,453
Check to see if you have any records
that match this man.
258
00:14:47,683 --> 00:14:51,413
I don't know how, but I'm positive that
I have memories of meeting him before.
259
00:14:54,123 --> 00:14:55,853
Let me think...
Who is he, again?
260
00:14:55,963 --> 00:15:00,423
I'm positive that I've seen him before, but I don't
have any matching data in my memory, either.
261
00:15:01,063 --> 00:15:03,123
But wouldn't that mean that
you've never seen him before?
262
00:15:04,303 --> 00:15:06,163
All right, that's enough!
Cut it out!
263
00:15:15,543 --> 00:15:19,503
This is so frustrating! I know it's there,
but I can't remember it!
264
00:15:19,583 --> 00:15:21,283
I guess your synapses
aren't connecting.
265
00:15:21,353 --> 00:15:24,883
"Synapses"? Lay off those
organic analogies, okay?
266
00:15:24,993 --> 00:15:28,113
Hey, does it seem to you
like this one memory...
267
00:15:28,193 --> 00:15:32,183
...is in a partitioned sector of our
cyberbrains, but we can't access it?
268
00:15:36,733 --> 00:15:39,763
Dr. Asuda is the scientist who
single-handedly developed...
269
00:15:39,833 --> 00:15:43,863
...the prototype model of the neurochip
used in the Tachikomas' AI.
270
00:15:44,203 --> 00:15:46,803
Are you saying that he's
the Tachikomas' dad?
271
00:15:47,983 --> 00:15:49,843
I suppose you could
put it that way.
272
00:15:50,813 --> 00:15:55,813
We also had Dr. Asuda personally assist us
when the Tachikomas were being rebuilt.
273
00:15:56,653 --> 00:16:00,313
He also helped us come up with ways
to eliminate the risk of experience loss...
274
00:16:00,593 --> 00:16:05,753
...by adding agent functionality and giving them
a redundant memory architecture.
275
00:16:06,093 --> 00:16:09,223
You think that this Dr. Asuda had something
to do with the explosion?
276
00:16:09,633 --> 00:16:11,693
He probably committed
the crime himself.
277
00:16:12,173 --> 00:16:13,463
To accomplish what?
278
00:16:14,533 --> 00:16:17,403
To defect from the country, taking
the fruits of his labor with him.
279
00:16:23,643 --> 00:16:27,743
The doctor prided himself on developing
the neurochip on his own.
280
00:16:28,283 --> 00:16:30,753
But his status is that of a
state-sponsored scientist.
281
00:16:31,323 --> 00:16:33,623
Even though he developed
that revolutionary AI,
282
00:16:33,723 --> 00:16:36,213
he couldn't get a personal
patent on his work.
283
00:16:39,433 --> 00:16:41,893
For those and other reasons, we followed the
Doctor's wishes and arranged things...
284
00:16:42,003 --> 00:16:45,263
...so that he would be able to run structural
analyses on the Tachikomas to let him...
285
00:16:45,333 --> 00:16:48,533
...study their current condition, as well as
the extent of the neurochips' development.
286
00:16:48,843 --> 00:16:51,203
So that's why you told us
to bring along one Tachikoma...
287
00:16:51,713 --> 00:16:54,543
If that's true, why do we have
a vague memory of the Doctor?
288
00:16:54,913 --> 00:16:59,283
Because we deleted your memories each time
you underwent a structural analysis.
289
00:16:59,753 --> 00:17:03,813
But he probably wanted to leave some
record of his achievements somewhere,
290
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:07,183
so he inserted a memory of himself
into some part of your memory.
291
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:12,063
Major, we've located Dr. Asuda
in the lobby of Niihama Airport.
292
00:17:12,493 --> 00:17:14,623
Good work.
Keep him under surveillance.
293
00:17:14,933 --> 00:17:15,903
Chief.
294
00:17:15,963 --> 00:17:20,233
Right. I just had all of the flights
leaving for North America grounded.
295
00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:21,633
That'll be a big help.
296
00:17:23,103 --> 00:17:25,733
Thank you for your help in this matter,
Prime Minister Kayabuki.
297
00:17:26,043 --> 00:17:27,803
There's no need
to thank me.
298
00:17:28,183 --> 00:17:33,083
We were able to stop one of our country's
top minds and the fruits of his AI research...
299
00:17:33,483 --> 00:17:35,453
...from sneaking out
of the country.
300
00:17:35,923 --> 00:17:39,183
It's thanks to the hard work of my men
that you are able to say that.
301
00:17:41,093 --> 00:17:43,113
May we have your
attention, please.
302
00:17:43,293 --> 00:17:46,233
The departures of all passenger
flights to North America...
303
00:17:46,293 --> 00:17:48,893
...have just been delayed
due to poor weather.
304
00:17:49,633 --> 00:17:51,263
Oh, so that explains it...
305
00:17:51,333 --> 00:17:53,933
But I still can't remember
this Dr. Asuda.
306
00:17:54,003 --> 00:17:56,973
My synapses are stopping
one step short of connecting...
307
00:17:57,043 --> 00:17:59,533
Didn't you say that you
hated that expression?
308
00:17:59,643 --> 00:18:00,543
Hey, I know!
309
00:18:03,343 --> 00:18:06,573
Hey, Proto. I'm gonna open up
this guy's head.
310
00:18:07,683 --> 00:18:09,083
What's all this about?
311
00:18:09,383 --> 00:18:12,613
You're tired of just synchronizing, so now
you want me to hand over my whole AI?
312
00:18:12,723 --> 00:18:17,823
No, I'm just gonna check to see which part
of your AI the partitioned sector is in.
313
00:18:19,493 --> 00:18:21,263
You little fool!
You can't do that!
314
00:18:26,203 --> 00:18:28,173
- What's wrong?
- What happened?
315
00:18:29,143 --> 00:18:34,443
It... It's not there! It's gone!
His AI is gone!
316
00:18:36,013 --> 00:18:39,383
Does this mean that each and every
one of us is brainless?!
317
00:18:40,853 --> 00:18:44,043
Where the heck
are our AI's, then?
318
00:18:47,423 --> 00:18:49,253
{\an8}May we have your
attention, please.
319
00:18:49,563 --> 00:18:54,593
{\an8}The poor weather that had caused the delay of
all flights to North America has cleared up,
320
00:18:51,263 --> 00:18:53,633
Dr. Asuda, I presume?
321
00:18:54,233 --> 00:18:57,603
You're in violation of the Arms Export
Control Act. You're coming with me.
322
00:18:54,903 --> 00:18:56,603
{\an8}so we will now resume
flight operations.
323
00:18:57,003 --> 00:19:02,503
{\an8}Flights will resume boarding at this time,
so please proceed to your departure gate.
324
00:18:59,073 --> 00:19:03,903
I refuse. I'll do my work in a country
that properly recognizes my rights.
325
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:05,503
{\an8}May we have your
attention, please.
326
00:19:06,173 --> 00:19:11,213
{\an8}The poor weather that had caused the delay of
all flights to North America has cleared up,
327
00:19:06,173 --> 00:19:08,883
You became a state-sponsored
scientist in exchange...
328
00:19:08,883 --> 00:19:10,943
...for all the funding and equipment
you could ever want.
329
00:19:11,413 --> 00:19:13,213
{\an8}so we will now resume
flight operations.
330
00:19:11,413 --> 00:19:15,853
You should know better than anyone
that you have no right to do this.
331
00:19:13,513 --> 00:19:18,823
{\an8}Flights will resume boarding at this time,
so please proceed to your...
332
00:19:25,393 --> 00:19:30,593
It's too bad. And here we brought
this little guy to the lab for a visit.
333
00:19:32,373 --> 00:19:33,493
I see.
334
00:19:35,243 --> 00:19:36,463
Um...
335
00:19:38,003 --> 00:19:41,243
Are you... my father?
336
00:19:44,083 --> 00:19:45,773
Your father, huh?
337
00:19:47,983 --> 00:19:51,143
Their condition is stable
for the moment,
338
00:19:51,223 --> 00:19:54,123
but there's no telling what might
trigger another collapse.
339
00:19:54,823 --> 00:19:58,053
We think that you inserted memories of
yourself into them without permission.
340
00:19:58,133 --> 00:19:59,623
Will you tell us how
to erase them?
341
00:20:03,303 --> 00:20:06,633
Long ago, there was once a nameless
carpenter who had built a castle...
342
00:20:06,973 --> 00:20:10,063
...who deliberately left behind
the tools that he had used to carve...
343
00:20:10,373 --> 00:20:14,103
...his name in the attic as proof that
he had taken part in the work.
344
00:20:14,813 --> 00:20:18,213
Are you even going to erase that
trivial act of sentimentality?
345
00:20:18,513 --> 00:20:19,413
I am.
346
00:20:19,753 --> 00:20:22,243
When you surrender something to the
government in exchange for power,
347
00:20:22,323 --> 00:20:24,443
that's the price
you pay.
348
00:20:30,923 --> 00:20:34,333
Delete file C9 in partition #8
of the hub cyberbrain...
349
00:20:34,393 --> 00:20:37,663
...that I built into that satellite
at your request.
350
00:20:39,533 --> 00:20:40,763
All right.
351
00:20:41,873 --> 00:20:43,703
Major? What's he mean,
"satellite"?
352
00:20:43,773 --> 00:20:48,763
Oh, I get it! The reason we felt like our self
was somewhere other than in our bodies...
353
00:20:49,183 --> 00:20:54,583
...was because our AI's were synchronizing
through that hub cyberbrain in orbit, wasn't it?
354
00:20:55,523 --> 00:20:56,913
That's right.
355
00:20:57,223 --> 00:21:01,353
Which means that our server is
up on that satellite, too, huh?
356
00:21:01,453 --> 00:21:04,513
So does that means that we were
perceiving that super-high...
357
00:21:04,563 --> 00:21:06,963
...birds-eye view
as our third self?
358
00:21:07,233 --> 00:21:10,533
Our AI's aren't equipped
with sense organs,
359
00:21:10,833 --> 00:21:15,603
so when we were thinking, we never noticed
what path our consciousness was taking.
360
00:21:15,743 --> 00:21:18,573
Oh, so that's why we don't
need any mind-body unity...
361
00:21:18,643 --> 00:21:21,073
...between our bodies and
programs anymore!
362
00:21:21,173 --> 00:21:24,803
Now I also understand why
I wasn't afraid of dying!
363
00:21:26,883 --> 00:21:31,213
Still, I can't believe it's up in space...
That's pretty amazing...
364
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:43,823
The thing is, I don't think that I want
to have your memories erased.
365
00:21:44,503 --> 00:21:45,693
Don't worry about it.
366
00:21:46,533 --> 00:21:51,303
The ideals I envisioned for my AI will
probably end up on the net somewhere.
367
00:21:55,243 --> 00:21:58,233
Major, what's gonna happen
to this guy?
368
00:21:58,653 --> 00:22:02,813
Since we're the ones who caught him,
that should give us some leeway.
369
00:22:03,223 --> 00:22:05,213
If he's lucky, he'll get
sentenced to prison.
370
00:22:06,593 --> 00:22:07,853
And if he isn't
so lucky?
371
00:22:08,893 --> 00:22:13,793
He might spend the rest of his life toiling away
in obscurity inside the facilities at Harima.
372
00:22:17,133 --> 00:22:20,573
Maybe I'll bring the Tachikoma
to see him every once in a while.
373
00:22:20,973 --> 00:22:22,763
I don't know if
that would help.
374
00:22:23,603 --> 00:22:27,703
He was looking for freedom,
but now he's no longer free.
375
00:22:28,283 --> 00:22:30,043
Just like us.
376
00:22:30,043 --> 00:22:32,043
377
00:23:09,643 --> 00:23:12,143
Finding out a galaxy...
378
00:23:12,143 --> 00:23:16,103
...of planets and stars within me...
379
00:23:16,293 --> 00:23:18,763
Listening to each of them...
380
00:23:18,763 --> 00:23:22,753
...singing the same silent melody...
381
00:23:22,753 --> 00:23:26,763
I've never seen such beauty...
382
00:23:26,763 --> 00:23:30,053
In possibility...
383
00:23:30,053 --> 00:23:34,563
No speck of doubt or fear...
384
00:23:34,563 --> 00:23:36,053
Wake up!
385
00:23:36,053 --> 00:23:38,753
I hear a voice,
386
00:23:38,753 --> 00:23:42,693
hear a voice calling out to me...
387
00:23:42,693 --> 00:23:45,203
I see inside,
388
00:23:45,203 --> 00:23:48,733
see the light now ever holding me...
389
00:23:48,733 --> 00:23:52,073
All the truth, all I need...
390
00:23:52,073 --> 00:23:56,873
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
391
00:23:56,873 --> 00:24:02,683
The beauty within the shell...
392
00:24:02,683 --> 00:24:05,383
I hear a voice,
393
00:24:05,383 --> 00:24:09,323
hear a voice calling out to me...
394
00:24:09,323 --> 00:24:11,833
I see inside,
395
00:24:11,833 --> 00:24:15,363
see the light now ever holding me...
396
00:24:15,363 --> 00:24:18,703
All the truth, all I need...
397
00:24:18,703 --> 00:24:23,503
...to make of this reality, it's inside...
398
00:24:23,503 --> 00:24:28,163
Right here within the shell...
