00:00:03,093 --> 00:00:08,123
Angely i demony kruzhili nado mnoj,
Angels and demons circle above me,

00:00:08,833 --> 00:00:13,663
rassykhali ternii i vechnye puti.
through the thorns to the stars.
3
00:00:14,203 --> 00:00:19,403
Ne znaet shast'je tol'ko tot,
Only those unable to perceive its call...
4
00:00:20,043 --> 00:00:26,183
kto jevo zova ponjat' ne smog.
...do not know happiness.

00:00:26,183 --> 00:00:31,953
Naljubuites', naljubuites'.
Watch in awe, watch in awe.
6
00:00:31,953 --> 00:00:37,323
Aeria gloris, aeria gloris.
7
00:00:37,663 --> 00:00:43,033
Naljubuites', naljubuites'.
Watch in awe, watch in awe.
8
00:00:43,433 --> 00:00:48,103
Aeria gloris, aeria gloris.
9
00:00:48,103 --> 00:00:54,373
I am calling, calling now,
10
00:00:54,713 --> 00:01:00,343
spirits rise and falling.
11
00:01:01,283 --> 00:01:06,083
Soboj ostat'sja dol'she.
To remain myself longer.
12
00:01:06,423 --> 00:01:17,993
Calling, calling, in the depths of longing.
13
00:01:18,503 --> 00:01:23,673
Soboj ostat'sja dol'she.
To remain myself longer.
14
00:01:23,673 --> 00:01:26,013
Naljubuites',
Watch in awe,
15
00:01:26,013 --> 00:01:29,873
aeria gloris.
16
00:01:30,833 --> 00:01:34,163
The static in the regular check-ins
was a modular, delayed-action virus!
17
00:01:38,873 --> 00:01:41,393
I was never there
in the first place!
18
00:01:41,703 --> 00:01:43,833
He's out there somewhere,
peeking through the SIU's eyes!
19
00:01:43,943 --> 00:01:45,813
I'll trace the
point of origin!
20
00:01:45,833 --> 00:01:46,243
Send
21
00:01:46,243 --> 00:01:46,743
Send
22
00:02:00,793 --> 00:02:03,193
All right, the job's done...
23
00:02:03,593 --> 00:02:08,503
Now, how to pass the time until
the SIU detectives find this place?
24
00:02:15,943 --> 00:02:17,963
Radio signal in violation of
Cyberbrain Code of Ethics detected!
25
00:02:18,513 --> 00:02:20,673
There is a possibility
of cyberbrain contamination.
26
00:02:21,383 --> 00:02:25,643
All personnel, check cyberbrain activity.
Keep a close eye on the people around you.
27
00:02:26,223 --> 00:02:28,883
Chief, I have confirmation
of a modular virus.
28
00:02:29,393 --> 00:02:32,153
It probably won't be possible to
specify its type until it manifests.
29
00:02:32,993 --> 00:02:36,223
Considering the static in their
regular check-in signal,
30
00:02:36,293 --> 00:02:38,233
the target of the infection must be
somebody in the security detail.
31
00:02:38,663 --> 00:02:42,393
There's no remote signal.
It's probably an autonomous program.
32
00:02:44,773 --> 00:02:46,763
Who's going to
manifest symptoms?
33
00:02:46,843 --> 00:02:49,603
This is good,
even for a farce...
34
00:03:04,853 --> 00:03:06,153
He's close!
35
00:03:06,593 --> 00:03:07,563
H-Hey, what are
you people...
36
00:03:08,363 --> 00:03:09,563
Hey!
37
00:03:12,933 --> 00:03:15,233
It went down
just like you said.
38
00:03:16,373 --> 00:03:18,393
If I'd sent out the virus
from my own place,
39
00:03:18,473 --> 00:03:22,463
I would've been arrested by those impetuous
detectives before the virus could assemble itself.
40
00:03:23,313 --> 00:03:26,503
If that had happened, I would've been a
failure as the Laughing Man, wouldn't I?
41
00:03:27,383 --> 00:03:31,213
But didn't you come here
a bit too soon?
42
00:03:32,253 --> 00:03:35,343
Wasn't the plan for the detectives to
deduce my location from the forwarding...
43
00:03:35,583 --> 00:03:41,083
...records left on the terminals at my place
and arrest me as I try to escape?
44
00:03:44,693 --> 00:03:47,863
No, everything is proceeding
according to plan.
45
00:03:48,133 --> 00:03:50,333
Hey, you're kidding, right?
46
00:03:50,933 --> 00:03:55,343
If you kill me, who will they
arrest as the Laughing Man?
47
00:03:55,543 --> 00:03:59,443
It's all right. Whether you're alive
or dead isn't a major issue.
48
00:04:00,083 --> 00:04:03,913
It's enough that they think that you
were "most likely" the Laughing Man.
49
00:04:04,783 --> 00:04:06,253
Don't worry, though.
50
00:04:06,583 --> 00:04:09,053
This way, your name will be sure
to go down in the history books.
51
00:04:31,213 --> 00:04:32,543
So, it's started...
52
00:04:38,453 --> 00:04:42,113
Superintendent-General, there's a
possibility of cyberbrain contamination.
53
00:04:42,993 --> 00:04:47,423
We'll check the cyberbrain activity of everyone
in the hall, even the security detail.
54
00:04:48,163 --> 00:04:50,093
Please postpone
your speech.
55
00:04:51,893 --> 00:04:55,853
Until we can identify those infected by the
virus, all personnel stand by on F2 alert.
56
00:04:56,003 --> 00:04:57,023
Hey!
57
00:04:57,103 --> 00:05:00,033
Who are you people?! Hold it!
State your unit and commander's name!
58
00:05:00,303 --> 00:05:01,333
Be quiet.
59
00:05:01,403 --> 00:05:05,773
You people on the security detail are the ones
most likely to manifest symptoms.
60
00:05:06,713 --> 00:05:09,513
Considering that it's a delayed-action
virus in your regular check-in signal,
61
00:05:09,583 --> 00:05:11,013
there are two possibilities.
62
00:05:12,183 --> 00:05:16,553
It's either a command-class with an encryption
conversion key, or everyone else.
63
00:05:25,333 --> 00:05:26,523
- Go!
- Yes sir!
64
00:05:28,803 --> 00:05:29,893
He's the one?
65
00:05:34,873 --> 00:05:37,503
Stop them! Don't let them near
the Superintendent-General!
66
00:05:37,713 --> 00:05:38,833
Everyone else, form a...
67
00:05:43,153 --> 00:05:46,173
The purge begins!
68
00:06:03,103 --> 00:06:05,273
This is pretty good training
for your men!
69
00:06:05,273 --> 00:06:09,733
If you don't want to spend your golden years
in an intensive care unit, stay put!
70
00:06:10,213 --> 00:06:11,703
Son of a...
71
00:06:28,893 --> 00:06:30,653
Talk about your
true-to-life performances...
72
00:06:45,513 --> 00:06:48,033
Somebody's copying
the virus online!
73
00:06:50,253 --> 00:06:51,413
An attack barrier?!
74
00:06:52,783 --> 00:06:53,653
Major!
75
00:06:54,023 --> 00:06:57,653
That was close... Going in through
a dummy barrier was a good idea.
76
00:06:58,523 --> 00:06:59,993
A boobytrapped virus?
77
00:07:00,463 --> 00:07:01,483
I'm not sure.
78
00:07:02,493 --> 00:07:06,663
Who the hell was peeking
around inside this guy's brain?
79
00:07:23,053 --> 00:07:24,443
- It's open!
- He got away?
80
00:07:47,973 --> 00:07:49,943
One shot,
pointblank range.
81
00:07:51,173 --> 00:07:53,143
Our boy uses
a silencer, too...
82
00:07:54,213 --> 00:07:55,373
What the hell
is going on?
83
00:07:55,713 --> 00:07:57,613
Wasn't the idea to have
the SIU land this guy...
84
00:07:57,683 --> 00:08:00,983
...and close the curtain
on the Laughing Man case?
85
00:08:01,753 --> 00:08:03,313
Hey, don't ask me.
86
00:08:04,653 --> 00:08:07,453
Maybe this is
another cover-up.
87
00:08:08,963 --> 00:08:11,933
Maybe, but look
at his face.
88
00:08:12,493 --> 00:08:13,463
Yeah.
89
00:08:14,833 --> 00:08:17,363
The son of a bitch
is smiling.
90
00:08:18,003 --> 00:08:19,473
Nanao's been killed?!
91
00:08:21,243 --> 00:08:22,803
They got the drop
on us...
92
00:08:23,143 --> 00:08:25,303
Once you get as many images as you can
of the state of the crime scene,
93
00:08:25,373 --> 00:08:27,573
clear out before the
SIU runs over there.
94
00:08:27,943 --> 00:08:29,603
Dead men
tell no tales.
95
00:08:30,113 --> 00:08:31,083
Roger that.
96
00:08:31,383 --> 00:08:35,653
Chief, I'm sending a copy of the virus
that we think Nanao planted.
97
00:08:36,223 --> 00:08:39,653
It only manifested in a commander
with an encryption conversion key,
98
00:08:40,163 --> 00:08:44,523
so I don't think anyone else will manifest,
but make a vaccine just to be safe.
99
00:08:45,293 --> 00:08:47,693
Understood. I'll have
one made up at once.
100
00:08:52,503 --> 00:08:54,063
Nanao's been killed.
101
00:08:54,543 --> 00:08:55,473
I heard.
102
00:08:55,843 --> 00:08:57,813
This script is
awfully complicated.
103
00:08:58,213 --> 00:08:59,173
True.
104
00:08:59,543 --> 00:09:02,513
And as farces go, the performance
was pretty impressive, too.
105
00:09:02,783 --> 00:09:04,843
There's one thing that
bothers me, though.
106
00:09:05,453 --> 00:09:08,013
When I tried to copy
Nanao's virus, somebody...
107
00:09:09,953 --> 00:09:10,923
What's wrong?
108
00:09:11,123 --> 00:09:12,453
Just a second.
109
00:09:12,723 --> 00:09:15,213
Stand back!
Please, clear the way!
110
00:09:17,633 --> 00:09:18,393
Stand back!
111
00:09:20,303 --> 00:09:23,333
Get that vaccine made ASAP.
I'm getting a funny vibe here.
112
00:09:23,333 --> 00:09:26,973
Paz, tail the Superintendent-General again.
Saito, you watch the perimeter.
113
00:09:26,973 --> 00:09:27,773
Roger!
114
00:09:28,103 --> 00:09:30,233
Stand back!
Clear the way!
115
00:09:30,773 --> 00:09:34,643
I am the Laughing Man!
I will take the Superintendent-General's life!
116
00:09:41,853 --> 00:09:43,783
The virus is manifesting?!
117
00:09:56,003 --> 00:09:56,973
Stand back!
118
00:09:58,903 --> 00:10:01,063
Daido!
Tell them the truth!
119
00:10:01,373 --> 00:10:02,673
- Tell them or die!
- W-What are you doing?!
120
00:10:05,973 --> 00:10:06,943
Daido!
121
00:10:08,983 --> 00:10:10,343
Requesting immediate backup!
122
00:10:10,753 --> 00:10:12,953
A mob of what seems
to be accomplices...
123
00:10:12,953 --> 00:10:14,983
- ... of the Laughing Man has infiltrated the hall!
- Looks like he missed anything vital.
124
00:10:15,053 --> 00:10:17,593
- Some are even disguised as policemen!
- More might be infected.
125
00:10:17,593 --> 00:10:18,283
Be careful.
126
00:10:18,693 --> 00:10:22,713
I repeat, multiple accomplices of the
Laughing Man have infiltrated the hall!
127
00:10:23,233 --> 00:10:24,493
Requesting backup!
128
00:10:26,303 --> 00:10:27,963
What the hell
is going on?
129
00:10:28,163 --> 00:10:30,033
Have an ambulance standing by
in the underground parking lot.
130
00:10:31,303 --> 00:10:32,673
Chief, how's that
vaccine coming along?
131
00:10:33,073 --> 00:10:36,043
It'll be a little longer.
What on earth is happening over there?
132
00:10:36,873 --> 00:10:40,543
I can't spare the time to send a visual.
Anyway, just hurry up with that vaccine!
133
00:10:41,413 --> 00:10:43,983
- Saito, anything fishy along the perimeter?
- Ishikawa!
134
00:10:43,983 --> 00:10:44,813
Scanning!
135
00:10:44,813 --> 00:10:46,583
What about the Tachikomas
the Major brought with her?
136
00:10:46,853 --> 00:10:48,823
Aside from Saito's,
two are free.
137
00:10:48,883 --> 00:10:51,823
Okay, we'll back up
the Major with those!
138
00:10:52,553 --> 00:10:53,923
Borma, we need
that vaccine ASAP!
139
00:10:53,923 --> 00:10:54,793
Roger!
140
00:11:00,033 --> 00:11:01,433
- Stand back!
- Move back!
141
00:11:01,433 --> 00:11:04,563
The shooter is a policeman!
A policeman has fired on Mr. Daido!
142
00:11:04,803 --> 00:11:06,773
Okay, this is a little much
for a farce...
143
00:11:18,113 --> 00:11:22,073
Major, I took care
of one out here.
144
00:11:22,583 --> 00:11:26,283
There may be more!
Don't let your guard down!
145
00:11:27,393 --> 00:11:28,053
Roger.
146
00:11:30,463 --> 00:11:31,023
Major.
147
00:11:31,593 --> 00:11:34,393
I finished the vaccine,
but just like you thought,
148
00:11:35,033 --> 00:11:39,233
it looks like it only infects the security
detail's encryption conversion key.
149
00:11:39,473 --> 00:11:43,003
It doesn't look like this virus
is what's causing this situation.
150
00:11:44,543 --> 00:11:46,513
What is, then?!
151
00:11:58,893 --> 00:12:00,483
Eliminate!
152
00:12:12,873 --> 00:12:14,893
Major, the cavalry's here!
153
00:12:15,373 --> 00:12:18,113
What took you so long?!
Keep that guy pinned!
154
00:12:18,113 --> 00:12:19,103
Yes, ma'am!
155
00:12:34,223 --> 00:12:36,253
Daido!
Say your prayers!
156
00:12:45,873 --> 00:12:47,893
Shit! How many of these
guys are there?!
157
00:13:02,723 --> 00:13:05,553
Laughing Man, you're under arrest
for attempted assassination!
158
00:13:05,923 --> 00:13:08,453
Major, I caught
the Laughing Man!
159
00:13:09,593 --> 00:13:10,563
Excuse me...
160
00:13:11,533 --> 00:13:12,393
Hello?
161
00:13:13,603 --> 00:13:16,533
How do I get to the hotel that
the Superintendent-General...
162
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,363
...will be assassinated at?
163
00:13:31,213 --> 00:13:32,873
Major, are you okay?
164
00:13:33,753 --> 00:13:35,423
I'm fine,
165
00:13:35,423 --> 00:13:38,683
so start gathering data to find out
what the hell just happened!
166
00:13:39,123 --> 00:13:40,283
- Yes, ma'am!
- Yes, ma'am!
167
00:13:50,033 --> 00:13:52,003
Oh, come on now,
officer.
168
00:13:52,433 --> 00:13:55,673
You already know who I am.
You don't need to ask that.
169
00:13:56,273 --> 00:14:00,143
I'm the Laughing Man.
The Laugh-ing-Man!
170
00:14:00,513 --> 00:14:02,673
All those others
are imposters!
171
00:14:03,353 --> 00:14:05,183
I'm the one and only!
172
00:14:06,583 --> 00:14:10,453
It was a message addressed
to me from the Laughing Man.
173
00:14:11,423 --> 00:14:16,623
That death threat told me
to become the Laughing Man.
174
00:14:16,693 --> 00:14:21,193
But I don't recall there being any mention
of assassinating the Superintendent-General.
175
00:14:29,373 --> 00:14:32,043
Would you open
your damn mouth?!
176
00:14:32,043 --> 00:14:35,343
Geez, what is it
with all these people?
177
00:14:36,513 --> 00:14:39,313
Beats me. They aren't
your typical fans, though.
178
00:14:41,083 --> 00:14:43,923
This has clouded the issue,
that's for sure.
179
00:14:44,393 --> 00:14:48,023
The cops say that other than that security detail
guy who was first hit by Nanao's virus,
180
00:14:48,623 --> 00:14:53,583
everybody's saying that they each voluntarily
tried to kill the Superintendent-General...
181
00:14:54,203 --> 00:14:55,803
...when they were set off
by that threat on TV.
182
00:14:55,803 --> 00:14:59,393
And some of them say that they're
the Laughing Man himself.
183
00:14:59,843 --> 00:15:02,433
All things considered,
they're all pretty much the same.
184
00:15:02,503 --> 00:15:03,603
True.
185
00:15:07,913 --> 00:15:09,883
As we suspected,
we didn't find any traces...
186
00:15:10,253 --> 00:15:13,743
...of brainwashing or possible
viral cyberbrain contamination.
187
00:15:14,423 --> 00:15:17,283
We won't be able to say for sure unless
we do a more detailed examination,
188
00:15:17,893 --> 00:15:21,823
but I doubt we'll find
any sort of external cause.
189
00:15:21,893 --> 00:15:23,363
I see.
Thanks.
190
00:15:25,533 --> 00:15:27,503
I'll let you take it
from here. Have fun.
191
00:15:28,103 --> 00:15:29,033
Where are you going?
192
00:15:29,033 --> 00:15:30,503
I've got an errand
to run with the Chief.
193
00:15:31,003 --> 00:15:32,063
A date?
194
00:15:35,103 --> 00:15:36,333
It's all a lie...
195
00:15:38,613 --> 00:15:41,243
How's the coffee
here at HQ?
196
00:15:42,483 --> 00:15:44,743
I don't care
much for it.
197
00:15:47,983 --> 00:15:49,583
You're going to
the hospital, right?
198
00:15:50,053 --> 00:15:51,353
You figured it out?
199
00:15:54,593 --> 00:15:57,853
It looks like Superintendent-General Daido
is probably going to resign over this...
200
00:15:57,933 --> 00:16:01,923
...while still in the hospital instead
of serving out his term in office.
201
00:16:02,763 --> 00:16:05,323
What will the police's official
announcement on the incident be?
202
00:16:06,543 --> 00:16:09,643
Multiple simultaneous cyberbrain
contamination due to a virus...
203
00:16:09,643 --> 00:16:12,903
...assembled by Nanao=A, the man
considered to be the Laughing Man.
204
00:16:13,413 --> 00:16:16,173
The media will probably
accept that.
205
00:16:16,753 --> 00:16:18,513
What about
Nanao's death?
206
00:16:19,153 --> 00:16:22,123
The Laughing Man case was carried
out by multiple individuals,
207
00:16:22,183 --> 00:16:26,423
and Nanao was killed over some sort
of trouble within the group.
208
00:16:26,863 --> 00:16:29,923
Although the goal of this
recent threat is unclear,
209
00:16:30,393 --> 00:16:36,303
I hear Special Investigations HQ is
determined to continue their investigation...
210
00:16:36,363 --> 00:16:40,273
...due to these new developments
uncovered in the Laughing Man case.
211
00:16:41,073 --> 00:16:44,233
That's certainly a terrific ending.
Far better than your usual farce.
212
00:16:44,773 --> 00:16:46,503
Spare me the irony.
213
00:16:46,913 --> 00:16:49,213
I meant it as a
compliment, actually.
214
00:16:56,423 --> 00:16:59,083
Anyway, setting aside
the police statement,
215
00:16:59,493 --> 00:17:01,963
what about those... copycats,
I guess you should call them?
216
00:17:02,663 --> 00:17:04,963
What do you
think they were?
217
00:17:05,693 --> 00:17:08,323
Three called themselves
the Laughing Man.
218
00:17:08,863 --> 00:17:11,923
Two said they committed the crime
out of admiration for the Laughing Man.
219
00:17:12,403 --> 00:17:17,173
Three said that the death threat
was a revelation directed at them.
220
00:17:17,843 --> 00:17:22,673
And besides them, we've rounded up
39 Laughing Man copycats,
221
00:17:23,013 --> 00:17:27,683
if you include the people arrested for
suspicious behavior along the perimeter.
222
00:17:29,153 --> 00:17:34,523
Plus, none of them acted together,
and there's no religious connection, either.
223
00:17:35,763 --> 00:17:40,523
These people that couldn't possibly
be behind the Laughing Man Incident...
224
00:17:41,233 --> 00:17:45,603
...and had no trace of external manipulation
by a virus or a brainwashing device...
225
00:17:46,173 --> 00:17:50,233
...all committed an act of terrorism simply
because they saw that warning on TV...
226
00:17:50,743 --> 00:17:52,973
...that hinted at the assassination
of the Superintendent-General.
227
00:17:53,883 --> 00:17:56,213
How would you even
begin to explain that?
228
00:17:59,753 --> 00:18:04,653
In a play, even the audience is simply
a part of the performance.
229
00:18:06,493 --> 00:18:08,923
Sorry, but I don't think
that's much of an answer.
230
00:18:09,933 --> 00:18:11,983
Like you said, Chief,
I do think...
231
00:18:12,333 --> 00:18:17,393
...that there was an internal police cover-up
using Nanao=A as a decoy,
232
00:18:17,973 --> 00:18:21,543
but something tells me that the incident
caused by the copycats...
233
00:18:21,543 --> 00:18:23,443
...was part of another
story entirely.
234
00:18:24,373 --> 00:18:28,143
That set a totally different
reality into motion.
235
00:18:33,983 --> 00:18:37,253
Yes, I was surprised,
as well.
236
00:18:37,893 --> 00:18:41,153
Well, we have to be
prepared for such things.
237
00:18:41,343 --> 00:18:45,803
N
o
238
00:18:41,963 --> 00:18:45,893
Well, we were ready for the worst,
but I didn't expect...
239
00:18:46,663 --> 00:18:49,223
Yes. Yes, you're right.
240
00:18:50,203 --> 00:18:55,503
I'll come to regret having to retire
without being able to serve out my term,
241
00:18:56,073 --> 00:19:01,603
but it's best for all related parties
to distance themselves from this.
242
00:19:01,843 --> 00:19:04,903
Yes, well, about the arrangements
after my retirement...
243
00:19:05,313 --> 00:19:07,843
Yes... Thank you.
244
00:19:08,683 --> 00:19:13,383
Right. No, I look forward
to working with you.
245
00:19:18,333 --> 00:19:19,493
Pardon us.
246
00:19:20,303 --> 00:19:25,863
I'm glad to see that you're in such high spirits
in spite of the bad luck you've had.
247
00:19:26,643 --> 00:19:30,203
What do you want?
I'm recuperating.
248
00:19:30,843 --> 00:19:32,903
Didn't you see
the sign on the door?
249
00:19:33,643 --> 00:19:38,743
I thought you might want to say a few words
of thanks to my men, but that's all right.
250
00:19:39,853 --> 00:19:44,083
You know, I'm told that the summers in
Amsterdam are much more pleasant than ours.
251
00:19:50,193 --> 00:19:53,963
Thanks to this incident, I'm now
finally able to reach a decision.
252
00:19:56,163 --> 00:19:58,393
Are you retiring, too?
253
00:19:59,033 --> 00:20:02,243
Public Security Section 9 will hereby begin
an independent investigation...
254
00:20:02,243 --> 00:20:05,233
...to get at the truth behind
the Laughing Man case.
255
00:20:05,743 --> 00:20:08,943
I came here today to inform you
of this, Superintendent-General.
256
00:20:09,613 --> 00:20:14,253
Once the investigation begins, there will be
many matters we'll want to ask you about,
257
00:20:14,253 --> 00:20:17,343
such as the flow of money
between you and Serano,
258
00:20:18,023 --> 00:20:22,053
so perhaps you should get
plenty of rest while you can.
259
00:20:35,843 --> 00:20:39,003
Yeah, yeah. The lines
were seriously crowded.
260
00:20:39,343 --> 00:20:42,003
The lag was way too bad
to play any games.
261
00:21:01,603 --> 00:21:05,193
Darn it, I was so worried when they said you'd
been in an accident that I rushed over here!
262
00:21:05,273 --> 00:21:08,203
Great news, huh, Daddy?
It wasn't serious!
263
00:21:09,273 --> 00:21:11,243
I'm sorry for getting you worried
over nothing.
264
00:21:11,773 --> 00:21:14,113
I was on my way to my client's,
and I got caught in that ruckus...
265
00:21:16,713 --> 00:21:17,873
What's the matter?
266
00:21:21,823 --> 00:21:24,183
Everything's stained
the same color...
267
00:21:27,463 --> 00:21:29,423
About your question
a while ago...
268
00:21:30,393 --> 00:21:32,793
I think that there may
never have been...
269
00:21:33,063 --> 00:21:37,433
...an actual criminal at work
in the Laughing Man Incident.
270
00:21:38,973 --> 00:21:42,633
I think that what happened today may have
been caused by a seed of some sort...
271
00:21:43,203 --> 00:21:47,233
...that was planted six years ago and sprouted
when triggered by the death threat.
272
00:21:47,713 --> 00:21:53,313
And the copycats are a standalone complex
brought about by this phenomenon.
273
00:21:53,683 --> 00:21:57,053
Nothing but copies
without an original.
274
00:21:57,653 --> 00:22:00,493
You think that the original
Laughing Man never existed?
275
00:22:03,933 --> 00:22:08,693
Then what was it that was watching us
when I dove into that security cop's brain?
276
00:22:10,273 --> 00:22:11,063
Major.
277
00:22:12,833 --> 00:22:16,673
For now, let's not worry about
the pieces that don't fit.
278
00:22:17,073 --> 00:22:20,703
Starting tomorrow, we'll piece together
an even bigger puzzle from scratch.
279
00:22:22,143 --> 00:22:23,203
I guess you're right.
280
00:22:25,153 --> 00:22:28,583
Oh, right. Can you pass something
along to Togusa for me?
281
00:22:30,423 --> 00:22:33,723
Ask him to put some flowers
on Yamaguchi's grave for me.
282
00:22:35,093 --> 00:22:40,053
He was the one who
first uncovered this case.
283
00:22:41,803 --> 00:22:43,163
Roger.
284
00:22:43,163 --> 00:22:45,163
285
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:20,703
She's so cold and human
286
00:23:20,703 --> 00:23:23,603
It's something humans do
287
00:23:23,603 --> 00:23:25,913
She stays so golden solo
288
00:23:25,913 --> 00:23:28,973
She's so number nine
289
00:23:28,973 --> 00:23:31,723
She's incredible math
290
00:23:32,983 --> 00:23:36,003
Just incredible math
291
00:23:36,273 --> 00:23:40,463
And is she really human?
292
00:23:40,463 --> 00:23:43,753
She's just so something new
293
00:23:43,753 --> 00:23:46,003
A waking lithium flower
294
00:23:46,003 --> 00:23:48,863
Just about to bloom
295
00:23:48,953 --> 00:23:51,663
I smell lithium now
296
00:23:52,703 --> 00:23:55,783
Smelling lithium now
297
00:23:56,953 --> 00:24:00,993
How is she when she doesn't surf?
298
00:24:00,993 --> 00:24:04,823
How is she when she doesn't surf?
299
00:24:04,823 --> 00:24:07,723
How is she when she doesn't surf?
300
00:24:07,723 --> 00:24:11,923
I wonder what she does when she wakes up?
301
00:24:13,203 --> 00:24:16,493
When she wakes up?
