1
00:01:59,911 --> 00:02:01,162
Who are you?

2
00:02:06,918 --> 00:02:11,589
IDENTITY THEFT
The Lonely Struggle

3
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:15,343
Sanji Yaguchi was sighted yesterday.

4
00:02:15,426 --> 00:02:20,807
He's 28 years old and one of the three
who have shown symptoms as a post-human.

5
00:02:20,890 --> 00:02:22,684
He was spotted in Fukuoka City.

6
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:25,228
According to Smith's report,

7
00:02:25,353 --> 00:02:28,982
post-humans calculate the movement
of surveillance cameras.

8
00:02:29,399 --> 00:02:33,653
I thought that the chances of catching him
on the surveillance network were slim.

9
00:02:36,197 --> 00:02:37,198
Film?

10
00:02:37,407 --> 00:02:41,077
A freelance journalist captured him
on camera by chance.

11
00:02:41,452 --> 00:02:45,790
That's why Yaguchi did not notice
that he was filmed?

12
00:02:46,124 --> 00:02:48,459
Thank God for analog cameras.

13
00:02:49,085 --> 00:02:53,256
This area near the face...
Did something explode?

14
00:02:53,423 --> 00:02:57,635
No. It seems his head was smashed
by Yaguchi's fist.

15
00:02:57,886 --> 00:03:00,013
So, he was beaten to death?

16
00:03:00,638 --> 00:03:05,226
I thought he was a human boxer.
Did he get a prosthetic left arm?

17
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:09,022
I wonder. It looks like junk to me.

18
00:03:09,606 --> 00:03:10,690
Who's the victim?

19
00:03:10,982 --> 00:03:16,029
Koichi Tadokoro, Secretary-General
of the Ministry of Residential Control.

20
00:03:16,112 --> 00:03:17,697
Secretary-General?

21
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:20,950
He died instantaneously
from a crushed skull.

22
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:22,535
Why was he killed?

23
00:03:22,619 --> 00:03:25,038
Right now, we have no idea.

24
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:29,918
A boxer turns into a post-human,

25
00:03:30,251 --> 00:03:34,214
and begins a sustainable war
against the government with his fist?

26
00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:40,094
If he has a prosthetic arm,
could he have killed others with his fist?

27
00:03:40,511 --> 00:03:42,931
There's a high possibility.

28
00:03:44,682 --> 00:03:50,396
For now, we were lucky to catch Yaguchi
in his acts as a post-human.

29
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,776
Search for similar cases
and find where Sanji Yaguchi is.

30
00:03:54,859 --> 00:03:56,152
Roger.

31
00:04:00,114 --> 00:04:04,869
<i>I thought there were no sustainable wars</i>
<i>happening on Japanese soil.</i>

32
00:04:05,161 --> 00:04:10,500
<i>Then, will this case be</i>
<i>the first Japanese sustainable war?</i>

33
00:04:11,626 --> 00:04:16,589
<i>What a small war it is, to kill one person</i>
<i>at a time using your fist.</i>

34
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:24,931
<i>-Batou!</i>
-Hey.

35
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:27,767
<i>Are you here to see us, Togusa?</i>

36
00:04:27,850 --> 00:04:30,228
So far, I have nothing for you guys to do.

37
00:04:30,311 --> 00:04:32,480
<i>What? Really? Bummer.</i>

38
00:04:32,563 --> 00:04:34,983
Mr. Batou, may I ask something?

39
00:04:36,025 --> 00:04:38,528
Are post-humans a new stage of evolution

40
00:04:38,611 --> 00:04:42,407
caused by human brains
being connected to the network?

41
00:04:42,490 --> 00:04:44,075
This is out of the blue.

42
00:04:44,158 --> 00:04:47,578
Where did you hear about post-humans?

43
00:04:47,912 --> 00:04:49,330
From them.

44
00:04:51,708 --> 00:04:56,713
I didn't want to be nosy,
but it was all so interesting.

45
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:59,632
What's done is done.

46
00:05:01,884 --> 00:05:05,638
Anyhow, Mr. Batou,
I was hoping you would accept this.

47
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:11,978
I remember those!
A limited-edition Walkman.

48
00:05:12,061 --> 00:05:17,692
I know all about your musical taste.
Please use it when you work out.

49
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:21,029
I have no reason to accept gifts from you.

50
00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:24,449
But I checked Tachikoma's data
and made you a playlist.

51
00:05:24,866 --> 00:05:27,160
I appreciate your kindness,

52
00:05:27,952 --> 00:05:31,581
but stop getting information
from Tachikoma without my permission.

53
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:36,127
<i>She totally blew it.</i>

54
00:05:36,878 --> 00:05:38,087
<i>Yippee!</i>

55
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:41,591
How is it?

56
00:05:42,216 --> 00:05:46,220
Apparently, Tadokoro
was a conscientious government employee.

57
00:05:47,513 --> 00:05:50,433
He worked on developing laws
for immigrants and refugees.

58
00:05:50,516 --> 00:05:51,809
TOKYO RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT

59
00:05:54,395 --> 00:05:57,732
Dig deeper. Tell me if you find anything.

60
00:05:58,900 --> 00:05:59,901
Roger that.

61
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:07,700
Tiptoe...

62
00:06:10,703 --> 00:06:15,666
With that left straight,
he had a chance of being world champion.

63
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:20,129
He was born in Tokyo after the war
and was quite the looker.

64
00:06:20,338 --> 00:06:22,924
He gained fans from his debut match.

65
00:06:23,424 --> 00:06:26,344
He said he was determined
to become a champion

66
00:06:26,844 --> 00:06:30,390
to help support
the reconstruction of Tokyo.

67
00:06:31,432 --> 00:06:34,894
So, he was a symbol of hope in a country

68
00:06:34,977 --> 00:06:37,897
where even the Prime Minister
is a foreigner.

69
00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:41,025
And he disappeared
the day before the title match?

70
00:06:41,859 --> 00:06:44,278
I don't know if this has anything
to do with it,

71
00:06:44,946 --> 00:06:47,448
but something happened
right before he disappeared.

72
00:06:47,532 --> 00:06:52,078
Yaguchi developed a fever
during the camp before the title match.

73
00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:56,082
He was unconscious for a while.

74
00:06:57,291 --> 00:07:00,586
He overdid it with the AR sparring.

75
00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:03,673
That's why his cyberbrain overheated.

76
00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:05,091
What is AR sparring?

77
00:07:05,466 --> 00:07:08,094
Recently you can spar with data

78
00:07:08,553 --> 00:07:12,598
that is almost identical
to the real champion.

79
00:07:13,182 --> 00:07:15,476
<i>Batou, return to Section 9 immediately.</i>

80
00:07:15,726 --> 00:07:18,271
<i>We identified cases</i>
<i>that may be linked to Yaguchi.</i>

81
00:07:18,354 --> 00:07:19,355
<i>Roger.</i>

82
00:07:20,731 --> 00:07:23,609
-Thank you for your cooperation.
-Sure.

83
00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:26,946
<i>Was someone beaten to death?</i>

84
00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:32,243
<i>Yes. I went through all similar cases</i>
<i>that happened in the last three months.</i>

85
00:07:32,493 --> 00:07:33,995
What are you doing?

86
00:07:34,078 --> 00:07:38,875
I want to be of help to you, so I hacked
into the Police Department's database.

87
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:40,751
<i>But that's--</i>

88
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,337
We'll let it slide for now. And?

89
00:07:43,963 --> 00:07:46,382
I mainly looked at the forensic reports

90
00:07:46,507 --> 00:07:50,386
and searched for matches with victims
that have a similar cause of death.

91
00:07:50,553 --> 00:07:54,891
There is a 98% chance that these cases
have the same culprit.

92
00:07:55,349 --> 00:08:00,688
Of course, the attacks were not captured
by any surveillance cameras.

93
00:08:01,355 --> 00:08:03,191
Ninety-two cases?

94
00:08:04,358 --> 00:08:09,739
It's not much as a sustainable war,
but a lot more than we anticipated.

95
00:08:11,532 --> 00:08:14,827
He became post-human three months ago.

96
00:08:15,244 --> 00:08:19,332
That means he's killing
at least one a day.

97
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:22,210
But they're not random killings?

98
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:25,379
At first glance the attacks seem random,

99
00:08:25,463 --> 00:08:28,883
but there is a commonality
in the victims' data.

100
00:08:29,383 --> 00:08:34,680
<i>Firstly, these victims</i>
<i>were immigrants or refugees.</i>

101
00:08:35,389 --> 00:08:37,350
But their nationality is Japanese.

102
00:08:37,433 --> 00:08:42,063
<i>I found evidence that they had illegally</i>
<i>obtained their nationality.</i>

103
00:08:42,146 --> 00:08:46,275
So his sustainable war
is against fake refugees?

104
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:50,696
So you'd think!
But I found data that proves otherwise.

105
00:08:52,573 --> 00:08:57,119
This is probably the first Japanese
to be beaten to death by Sanji Yaguchi.

106
00:08:57,787 --> 00:08:59,914
This is Mr. Ishiwata.

107
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:04,502
He gives refugees other people's
identities to gain Japanese nationality,

108
00:09:04,585 --> 00:09:09,423
then sends them as part of the workforce
for the Tokyo Reconstruction Project.

109
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:12,176
He was paid a restoration allowance
from the government.

110
00:09:13,594 --> 00:09:16,514
How did you know he was the first victim?

111
00:09:16,764 --> 00:09:21,394
<i>There were traces of flesh that were not</i>
<i>from the victim found at the scene,</i>

112
00:09:21,602 --> 00:09:23,896
<i>so I ran the DNA.</i>

113
00:09:24,438 --> 00:09:30,069
I believe Yaguchi lost his left hand
from smashing Ishiwata's skull.

114
00:09:30,319 --> 00:09:35,366
His body could not keep up
with his updated physical abilities?

115
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:39,745
Yes. I stole a list of people
with stolen identities

116
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:41,956
from Ishiwata Construction's database.

117
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:45,960
All these people illegally obtained
Japanese nationalities

118
00:09:46,043 --> 00:09:50,798
but did not work in the reconstruction,
and illegally received welfare.

119
00:09:51,173 --> 00:09:54,510
He only goes after the fraudsters?

120
00:09:54,635 --> 00:09:55,636
<i>I think so.</i>

121
00:09:56,178 --> 00:09:58,264
It may be illegal, but I'm impressed.

122
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:03,227
Wasn't Tadokoro in charge
of making laws for refugees?

123
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:04,854
Yeah.

124
00:10:05,187 --> 00:10:10,776
If Yaguchi is going after those
who are committing fraud,

125
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,947
we should assume that Tadokoro
was a part of some fraud, too.

126
00:10:15,031 --> 00:10:19,327
So far, I haven't seen anything suspicious
in Tadokoro's record.

127
00:10:20,244 --> 00:10:24,915
Cheap labor is a necessity
for the Tokyo Reconstruction Project.

128
00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:27,627
The law was changed to accommodate that.

129
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:33,049
If so, who will gain the most profit
when the new law passes?

130
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:39,138
Companies which have official contracts
with the Tokyo Reconstruction Committee?

131
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:45,227
Let me look into matters in that area.

132
00:10:46,270 --> 00:10:51,400
Yes, Tadokoro was the mediator
with the Tokyo Reconstruction Committee.

133
00:10:51,942 --> 00:10:54,195
There was nothing suspicious about him.

134
00:10:54,278 --> 00:10:56,989
We are aware of that, too.

135
00:10:57,073 --> 00:11:00,785
Perhaps after Yaguchi became a post-human,
he did not agree with

136
00:11:00,868 --> 00:11:07,041
using refugees as cheap labor
for the Tokyo Reconstruction Project.

137
00:11:07,124 --> 00:11:10,002
What if he thought that was fraudulent?

138
00:11:10,544 --> 00:11:11,796
What are you trying to say?

139
00:11:12,088 --> 00:11:16,801
Your father is involved in running
Otomo Industries.

140
00:11:16,884 --> 00:11:21,305
I believe they have many contracts

141
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:25,685
with the Tokyo Reconstruction Committee
for various sectors.

142
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:31,607
That's true. But Otomo Industries
is not the only one making profit.

143
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:38,739
Did they bribe Secretary-General Tadokoro
or offer him a position after resignation?

144
00:11:40,825 --> 00:11:43,994
Are you telling me
that you have suspicions

145
00:11:44,328 --> 00:11:48,207
against my father-in-law,
not Mr. Tadokoro?

146
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:53,713
As long as Sachio Otomo is the chairman
of the Tokyo Reconstruction Project,

147
00:11:53,796 --> 00:11:57,007
we cannot dismiss the possibility.

148
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:00,177
I'm offended.

149
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:02,680
My father-in-law--

150
00:12:02,763 --> 00:12:05,099
Prime Minister, please remember

151
00:12:05,307 --> 00:12:09,353
that we are not investigating
the possible bribery of Mr. Otomo.

152
00:12:09,937 --> 00:12:15,443
Our interest lies solely
in capturing the post-humans.

153
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:20,781
If there was fraudulent behavior
in Otomo Industries,

154
00:12:21,115 --> 00:12:27,329
there is a chance that the post-human
will target your father-in-law next.

155
00:12:29,373 --> 00:12:30,416
I understand.

156
00:12:30,958 --> 00:12:34,962
I will ask my father-in-law
regarding this matter.

157
00:12:35,087 --> 00:12:37,923
You must give me some time.

158
00:12:38,841 --> 00:12:40,009
Understood.

159
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:54,148
Screw you.

160
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:08,996
Were you aware

161
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:13,667
that Prime Minister Tate's father-in-law
is Congressman Sachio Otomo?

162
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:17,379
There were some shady stories

163
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:19,924
behind the election
of an American Prime Minister.

164
00:13:20,216 --> 00:13:25,179
Wasn't Tate just an entrepreneur
until he married Otomo's daughter?

165
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:29,892
But before that, he was working
at the American State Department.

166
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:33,354
He grew to love Japan
while working at the Embassy

167
00:13:33,562 --> 00:13:35,523
and started a business
after leaving his job.

168
00:13:35,856 --> 00:13:40,861
He patented a few micromachines
and made himself a fortune.

169
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:45,199
Then he sold that company
to Otomo Industries.

170
00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:49,578
It became Otomo Micron of the Otomo Group.

171
00:13:50,538 --> 00:13:56,043
Soon after, Tate married Otomo's daughter
and got Japanese nationality.

172
00:13:56,710 --> 00:14:01,799
Otomo is dubbed the "Kingmaker."
Tate inherited that electoral powerbase.

173
00:14:01,882 --> 00:14:06,262
Just six years after his first election,
Tate became Prime Minister.

174
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:10,850
<i>Batou, take Tachikoma</i>
<i>to guard Congressman Otomo immediately.</i>

175
00:14:11,225 --> 00:14:15,437
<i>There was a revolving door arrangement</i>
<i>between Tadokoro and Otomo Industries.</i>

176
00:14:15,646 --> 00:14:18,399
<i>Otomo arranged it himself.</i>

177
00:14:34,248 --> 00:14:35,249
Good evening.

178
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,721
Congressman Otomo?

179
00:14:49,597 --> 00:14:51,599
Sir, are you ill?

180
00:14:51,682 --> 00:14:54,268
This is an emergency.
It's Congressman Otomo!

181
00:15:01,775 --> 00:15:05,154
We can't identify his face?

182
00:15:05,696 --> 00:15:06,572
<i>No.</i>

183
00:15:07,531 --> 00:15:10,826
But it happened in an instant.

184
00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:15,372
They say he wouldn't have felt any pain.

185
00:15:20,461 --> 00:15:26,592
It seems post-humans are far mightier
than we imagined.

186
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,805
Even with your abilities...

187
00:15:33,140 --> 00:15:38,062
we are unable
to even catch a glimpse of them!

188
00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:43,901
I don't know what to say.

189
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:47,029
What are you waiting for?

190
00:15:47,154 --> 00:15:50,908
Release some fake news
and hide the existence of post-humans!

191
00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:53,577
That's a part of your job.

192
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:05,130
<i>If only we could use the civilians' eyes</i>
<i>like they do in America.</i>

193
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,927
<i>If we did that, we'd be the same as Smith.</i>

194
00:16:15,391 --> 00:16:16,308
Damn it.

195
00:16:16,850 --> 00:16:19,269
A stupid post-human revealed himself

196
00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:24,650
by coming after a bribery case,
but you let him slip by?

197
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:29,488
Did you bug this room?

198
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:34,159
I can't have you hiding anything from me
regarding this case.

199
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:36,870
I can have you restrained for espionage.

200
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:43,043
Oh, really? I thought you were one of us.

201
00:16:46,797 --> 00:16:50,300
Mr. Aramaki,
regarding my father-in-law's death...

202
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:56,140
please cover it up
as a death from sickness.

203
00:16:59,852 --> 00:17:01,103
Prime Minister...

204
00:17:02,896 --> 00:17:04,398
There's something else.

205
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:07,276
I want to lure the post-human out.

206
00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:11,447
You must release some real news.

207
00:17:14,074 --> 00:17:16,618
<i>Following his father-in-law's death,</i>

208
00:17:16,744 --> 00:17:20,998
<i>Prime Minister Tate will be the chairman</i>
<i>of the Tokyo Reconstruction Committee.</i>

209
00:17:21,248 --> 00:17:23,834
<i>Prime Minister Tate holds stocks</i>
<i>in Otomo Micron.</i>

210
00:17:23,959 --> 00:17:27,129
<i>The company is suspected of engaging in</i>
<i>sweetheart deals with the committee</i>

211
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:31,759
<i>and monopolizing deals for micromachines</i>
<i>that remove soil contamination.</i>

212
00:17:33,427 --> 00:17:34,428
Honey!

213
00:17:39,475 --> 00:17:41,060
He has some guts.

214
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:47,357
<i>If he takes command</i>
<i>of the reconstruction himself,</i>

215
00:17:47,566 --> 00:17:51,820
<i>he will be targeted by post-humans</i>
<i>and those who do not appreciate him.</i>

216
00:17:51,987 --> 00:17:55,324
<i>He won't be able to make excuses</i>
<i>when accused of sweetheart deals.</i>

217
00:17:55,449 --> 00:18:00,788
<i>It seems there is a good reason</i>
<i>why he is going to become the chairman,</i>

218
00:18:00,996 --> 00:18:04,750
<i>and it's not just</i>
<i>out of his loyalty to Mr. Otomo.</i>

219
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:09,880
<i>He's no old-school politician,</i>
<i>nor a puppet for the Americans.</i>

220
00:18:42,162 --> 00:18:43,455
Let us through.

221
00:18:43,539 --> 00:18:45,541
POLICE HOSPITAL

222
00:18:45,624 --> 00:18:47,000
Step back.

223
00:18:48,418 --> 00:18:51,213
-Isn't that him?
-It is!

224
00:18:59,471 --> 00:19:01,473
<i>He's appeared!</i>

225
00:19:02,724 --> 00:19:03,642
I'm late.

226
00:19:13,527 --> 00:19:15,028
The back entrance, too!

227
00:19:27,416 --> 00:19:29,835
What is your purpose?

228
00:19:32,963 --> 00:19:36,592
My love for this country is pure.

229
00:19:38,051 --> 00:19:43,765
I would do anything
to reconstruct this country.

230
00:20:15,172 --> 00:20:16,006
No!

231
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:33,690
You're boxing him? That won't work!

232
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:57,923
You're crazy.

233
00:20:58,006 --> 00:21:03,136
I was taking a chance that his
original personality was left in him.

234
00:21:03,553 --> 00:21:07,015
I knew I could win if he took the bait.

235
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:11,937
-Akiko! Are you OK?
-Yes.

236
00:21:12,479 --> 00:21:15,899
-What was that?
-You should rest inside for a while.

237
00:21:22,572 --> 00:21:25,200
Prime Minister. Are you hurt?

238
00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:26,618
I'm fine.

239
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:30,163
Why did Yaguchi not attack you
when he had the chance?

240
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:34,543
Perhaps his intention

241
00:21:35,168 --> 00:21:40,882
was to confirm my passion
for the reconstruction of this city.

242
00:21:41,883 --> 00:21:44,720
If so, what is he after?

243
00:21:56,481 --> 00:21:59,276
Well done. We'll take it from here.

244
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:01,320
Not you again?

245
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:04,156
Must I remind you

246
00:22:04,448 --> 00:22:09,286
that your mission is solely
to capture the post-humans.

247
00:22:22,049 --> 00:22:25,635
This is the reality of Japan.

248
00:22:28,513 --> 00:22:30,932
This is why I am here.

249
00:22:32,059 --> 00:22:33,060
To make changes.

250
00:24:09,531 --> 00:24:11,533
