1
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:53,571
I'll be away from Japan for a while.
I'll be hard to get a hold of. Sorry.
2
00:01:58,034 --> 00:01:59,452
All right.
3
00:02:45,707 --> 00:02:50,044
NET PEOPLE
Reasons Leading to Flameout
4
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:55,800
-Where's Major?
-I thought she was with you.
5
00:02:55,884 --> 00:02:59,512
Chief and Major are in trouble
over the recent incident.
6
00:02:59,804 --> 00:03:02,265
Will this be the end of Section 9?
7
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:04,434
I can't accept that.
8
00:03:04,559 --> 00:03:09,230
I want to work a lot more with you guys!
9
00:03:10,982 --> 00:03:12,859
You're not even assigned here.
10
00:03:13,276 --> 00:03:14,277
Actually...
11
00:03:14,944 --> 00:03:18,072
she found a very strange case.
12
00:03:18,156 --> 00:03:19,157
Yes!
13
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:21,326
That I did!
14
00:03:22,243 --> 00:03:25,580
Two days ago, an office worker
got his cyberbrain fried.
15
00:03:25,705 --> 00:03:29,083
This was at Fukuoka Airport.
16
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,171
This is the log from when it happened.
17
00:03:34,088 --> 00:03:35,423
What's strange about it?
18
00:03:35,965 --> 00:03:41,429
The point of origin of the attack
is receiving a lot of traffic.
19
00:03:41,679 --> 00:03:47,018
The received information is packed
and sent to the victim's cyberbrain.
20
00:03:47,852 --> 00:03:49,270
The amount: three million.
21
00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:50,480
What?
22
00:03:50,855 --> 00:03:55,401
Three million hackers attacked
simultaneously?
23
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:56,569
Probably.
24
00:03:56,778 --> 00:04:00,198
But the number of hackers
isn't the problem.
25
00:04:03,284 --> 00:04:06,704
Civilian cyberbrains also have barriers.
26
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:11,793
If the attacks aren't synchronized,
the effect is limited.
27
00:04:13,378 --> 00:04:19,968
Someone instantly united the minds of
three million hackers to kill the victim.
28
00:04:20,051 --> 00:04:22,845
It's a superhuman ability.
29
00:04:23,179 --> 00:04:26,432
A post-human could pull that off.
30
00:04:28,601 --> 00:04:30,812
Major! How long have you been here?
31
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:32,939
We've got our next target.
32
00:04:33,314 --> 00:04:37,193
Suzuka Mizukane, a post-human,
was spotted on camera.
33
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:38,111
Where?
34
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:40,530
Niihama International Airport.
35
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:43,074
What were the airport police doing?
36
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:47,870
Someone intentionally created a time lag
during ID check.
37
00:04:48,329 --> 00:04:49,914
Is she the culprit?
38
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:51,291
Probably.
39
00:04:51,416 --> 00:04:53,001
All right. So...
40
00:04:53,334 --> 00:04:56,129
we'll call in Saito and Pazu,
and look for this woman.
41
00:04:56,796 --> 00:04:58,006
I'll go, too.
42
00:04:59,048 --> 00:05:02,760
Ishikawa and Boma,
surveil the IR system around the airport.
43
00:05:02,844 --> 00:05:03,845
Roger.
44
00:05:04,554 --> 00:05:06,597
Um... Major...
45
00:05:07,765 --> 00:05:08,891
what should I do?
46
00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:11,394
Since when are you a member of Section 9?
47
00:05:11,477 --> 00:05:13,271
Well...
48
00:05:13,354 --> 00:05:17,442
I'm not in the position
to give you orders.
49
00:05:20,862 --> 00:05:23,197
Did she have to be so blunt?
50
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,241
You're not very perceptive, are you?
51
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:29,245
It's her way of saying do as you please.
52
00:05:31,289 --> 00:05:34,250
Thank you very much, Major!
53
00:05:43,885 --> 00:05:49,599
A teacher who got his brain fried
for bullying at his school.
54
00:05:50,308 --> 00:05:54,520
A senior gang member who was dating
an actress and was caught cheating.
55
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:58,608
There are many similar traces of hacking.
56
00:06:00,902 --> 00:06:01,944
But...
57
00:06:03,488 --> 00:06:06,240
the victims have nothing in common.
58
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:11,079
Concerning the three million hackers...
59
00:06:13,289 --> 00:06:15,833
not one person can be identified.
60
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:25,635
They're quite good, considering
they left no traces for me to follow.
61
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,433
Inspecting the site many times is key.
62
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:36,229
All right.
63
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:47,031
What the...?
64
00:06:48,991 --> 00:06:52,203
The victim: Tatsuya Hisata, 34 years old.
65
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:55,123
Deputy director of
a mid-sized machine maker.
66
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:59,001
He's running away from something.
67
00:07:26,696 --> 00:07:29,699
What did his eyes see?
68
00:07:37,248 --> 00:07:38,458
Is he laughing?
69
00:07:39,667 --> 00:07:43,004
I've seen him at another crime scene.
70
00:07:45,756 --> 00:07:46,841
Even more.
71
00:07:48,718 --> 00:07:49,927
He might be the guy.
72
00:08:14,076 --> 00:08:15,161
Did I lose her?
73
00:08:15,536 --> 00:08:16,579
Tough luck.
74
00:08:18,581 --> 00:08:20,416
Koji Kogure, right?
75
00:08:21,125 --> 00:08:22,668
Who are you?
76
00:08:22,752 --> 00:08:26,005
I'm Purin Ezaki of Section 9.
77
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:28,758
Oh, so you're a cop?
78
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,385
You're just a public servant.
79
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:34,931
You better have a warrant!
80
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:39,560
In this situation, Mr. Batou would...
81
00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:46,359
Here's the warrant!
82
00:08:49,403 --> 00:08:51,822
-Peep Hole?
-Yes.
83
00:08:51,906 --> 00:08:57,286
The app gives you a third-person view
of what the victim is seeing.
84
00:08:57,662 --> 00:09:01,541
If you'd like, you can see
the footage from yesterday.
85
00:09:01,624 --> 00:09:02,625
I'd like that.
86
00:09:06,837 --> 00:09:08,881
What are these faceless people?
87
00:09:09,507 --> 00:09:14,303
You went to all the sites to see this?
88
00:09:14,637 --> 00:09:17,223
You have to be at the site to see it.
89
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:19,850
Unless you're the "King."
90
00:09:20,685 --> 00:09:24,021
King? Is that the main hacker?
91
00:09:24,105 --> 00:09:27,233
Yes, a.k.a. Nameless King.
92
00:09:27,441 --> 00:09:29,569
I don't know what the criteria are,
93
00:09:29,777 --> 00:09:35,116
but you need his invitation to know
where the next crime scene will be.
94
00:09:35,825 --> 00:09:41,163
You went to the sites knowing that
someone was potentially going to die?
95
00:09:41,330 --> 00:09:42,331
Yes.
96
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,835
But that alone isn't a crime, is it?
97
00:09:51,132 --> 00:09:55,386
Could you tell me more
about this Nameless King?
98
00:09:55,970 --> 00:09:57,930
No, I can't do that.
99
00:09:58,472 --> 00:09:59,473
Really?
100
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,977
Shall we start over?
101
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:06,147
There's no need for that.
102
00:10:10,651 --> 00:10:13,946
Don't tell me that you're King?
103
00:10:14,155 --> 00:10:15,323
I am.
104
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:22,121
Do you have the courage to open that door,
105
00:10:22,788 --> 00:10:25,708
Miss Purin Ezaki?
106
00:10:54,445 --> 00:10:55,738
A frog?
107
00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:58,991
-A fish.
-A fish?
108
00:10:59,533 --> 00:11:02,536
Anyway, let's cut to the chase.
109
00:11:07,792 --> 00:11:09,251
Ouch.
110
00:11:10,544 --> 00:11:12,046
What do you want to know?
111
00:11:12,797 --> 00:11:14,632
About the Peep Hole?
112
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:17,259
Or about my identity?
113
00:11:17,885 --> 00:11:20,763
First, the full picture of the incident.
114
00:11:21,222 --> 00:11:23,599
In that case,
115
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:26,560
I'll start with Think Pol.
116
00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:28,479
Think Pol?
117
00:11:29,146 --> 00:11:33,943
It's the system used
to create a moral world.
118
00:11:39,949 --> 00:11:43,244
Its rules are very simple.
119
00:11:43,619 --> 00:11:46,080
First, you lock on to the person
120
00:11:46,163 --> 00:11:52,378
who's getting the most hate
on the Internet at a given time.
121
00:11:53,671 --> 00:11:58,759
Next, you ask a large number
of randomly selected people,
122
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:05,057
"Should this person be forgiven or not?"
123
00:12:05,808 --> 00:12:08,728
And if they answer "no"?
124
00:12:09,103 --> 00:12:10,938
A negative answer is...
125
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:15,651
converted into an attack on the target.
126
00:12:17,653 --> 00:12:21,699
So, the identities of
the three million hackers are...
127
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:23,576
What?
128
00:12:26,996 --> 00:12:31,667
The voices of the people
who found the target guilty.
129
00:12:32,042 --> 00:12:33,753
For example, this man.
130
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:38,883
Who are you people?
131
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,596
Isn't he a gang member?
132
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,930
That's correct.
133
00:12:45,222 --> 00:12:49,226
He had no chance against
over a million citizens.
134
00:13:01,322 --> 00:13:03,741
But his brain didn't get fried.
135
00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:07,286
Instead, he had his client list stolen.
136
00:13:07,745 --> 00:13:09,830
Four days later...
137
00:13:09,914 --> 00:13:13,542
His run-over body was discovered.
138
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:16,253
He paid his price.
139
00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:22,259
There was supposedly the name
of a famous entertainer on the list.
140
00:13:22,343 --> 00:13:23,886
I see.
141
00:13:24,512 --> 00:13:30,351
Each hacked victim received
a punishment that was deemed appropriate.
142
00:13:30,851 --> 00:13:32,102
Is that it?
143
00:13:32,186 --> 00:13:36,398
Yes. That's what the Think Pol system is.
144
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:38,317
Isn't it elegant?
145
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:43,030
This is ultimate democracy.
146
00:13:43,113 --> 00:13:46,909
It's not. It's simply a witch-hunt.
147
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:49,745
What's wrong with that?
148
00:13:50,955 --> 00:13:56,252
Nobody believes in
existing justice systems anymore.
149
00:13:56,335 --> 00:14:00,881
The case of Prime Minister Tate
is a perfect example.
150
00:14:01,048 --> 00:14:03,008
A former American
151
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:06,053
who easily becomes the prime minister.
152
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:10,391
Otomo, the pro-American,
a.k.a. the King Maker,
153
00:14:10,599 --> 00:14:14,687
gathered money under the cover of
the Tokyo Reconstruction Project,
154
00:14:14,937 --> 00:14:18,732
and he used the money to create
a majority within the ruling party.
155
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,862
Isn't this something
that we are all aware of?
156
00:14:22,945 --> 00:14:29,827
As soon as Otomo dies,
now the PM wants to control the committee.
157
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:36,083
A guy like that is at the top of
this nation with an innocent air.
158
00:14:36,250 --> 00:14:38,377
Don't you find that ridiculous?
159
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:41,213
So, you fry brains?
160
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:43,632
If that's the collective opinion
of the people.
161
00:14:44,133 --> 00:14:46,760
People sometimes go down the wrong path.
162
00:14:47,136 --> 00:14:52,808
This country has already been
going down the wrong path.
163
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:55,644
Any chance that you are, too?
164
00:14:55,978 --> 00:15:00,024
Shuseikan High. Grade Two, Class Three.
Attendance number two.
165
00:15:00,107 --> 00:15:01,817
Shinya Uotori.
166
00:15:03,694 --> 00:15:04,695
Who are you?
167
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:13,954
Shinya, may I come in?
168
00:15:17,124 --> 00:15:19,168
What? I'm studying.
169
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:21,587
Your friends are here to see you.
170
00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:22,880
What?
171
00:15:25,716 --> 00:15:26,634
Hello.
172
00:15:34,224 --> 00:15:36,518
Have fun, guys.
173
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:44,526
What do you look like to her?
174
00:15:45,694 --> 00:15:47,196
You want to know?
175
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:50,574
Um... No. Thank you.
176
00:15:52,201 --> 00:15:54,954
Are you arresting me?
177
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:57,581
Why would you think that?
178
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:02,378
Because I made Think Pol.
179
00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:09,760
We initially also thought that you were
the culprit that made this system.
180
00:16:10,177 --> 00:16:12,262
The programmer is certainly competent.
181
00:16:12,596 --> 00:16:15,933
Why would he let us
track him down so easily?
182
00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:21,355
You think that I'm just a kid, huh?
183
00:16:21,605 --> 00:16:24,692
The peeping app
was pretty well made, though.
184
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:26,902
You wrote it, right?
185
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:28,821
Yes.
186
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:32,825
So, how did you acquire this system?
187
00:16:35,369 --> 00:16:38,914
I found it in the server of
the middle school that I went to.
188
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:43,335
We were accessed by Think Pol,
and fried people's brains.
189
00:16:44,128 --> 00:16:45,504
We were the first.
190
00:16:46,630 --> 00:16:49,216
That teacher was popular among parents.
191
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:52,720
The news said it was a tragic death
of a passionate teacher.
192
00:16:53,053 --> 00:16:57,474
But any graduate of that school knew
that Yamada was a scumbag.
193
00:16:58,350 --> 00:16:59,351
Yamada?
194
00:16:59,768 --> 00:17:02,980
The math teacher and counselor
at Sakanoshita Middle School.
195
00:17:03,397 --> 00:17:05,107
I knew it right away.
196
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:10,070
Think Pol had to be built by
a student of that school.
197
00:17:12,197 --> 00:17:17,244
I accessed the middle school's server,
and found the program right after he died.
198
00:17:17,661 --> 00:17:20,831
And I released the program
on the Internet.
199
00:17:22,207 --> 00:17:23,751
It's very well written.
200
00:17:24,334 --> 00:17:25,919
It certainly was.
201
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:27,796
But I was rather moved.
202
00:17:28,338 --> 00:17:31,008
I thought the creator had a conscience.
203
00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:35,429
So, you created the Peep Hole?
204
00:17:36,138 --> 00:17:37,139
Yes.
205
00:17:37,431 --> 00:17:41,268
I wanted to democratize
the greatness of Think Pol.
206
00:17:41,727 --> 00:17:44,188
But soon...
207
00:17:45,856 --> 00:17:50,110
You wanted people to think
that you were the creator.
208
00:17:55,699 --> 00:17:56,700
How innocent.
209
00:17:57,785 --> 00:17:59,828
-Are you teasing me?
-No.
210
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:05,334
You and the creator of Think Pol
seem naive to me.
211
00:18:09,171 --> 00:18:10,214
What is this?
212
00:18:10,964 --> 00:18:13,634
Think Pol has locked on
to the next target.
213
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:23,977
Sir, this residence might get hacked.
Please turn off your cyberbrain now.
214
00:18:24,353 --> 00:18:25,646
The PM's residence?
215
00:18:26,855 --> 00:18:28,816
No, we believe you're the target.
216
00:18:28,899 --> 00:18:29,817
I am?
217
00:18:31,527 --> 00:18:33,529
I can't make my cyberbrain go offline.
218
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,330
There are more coming!
219
00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:47,334
They are coming from below, too.
220
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:49,837
What are they?
221
00:18:50,045 --> 00:18:53,173
It's the manifestation of anger
toward society.
222
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:55,342
Nobody can stop it.
223
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:08,689
Major Kusanagi.
224
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:09,815
Step back.
225
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:30,085
Stop.
226
00:19:34,256 --> 00:19:35,799
Had enough?
227
00:19:36,091 --> 00:19:37,926
Stop playing around.
228
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:05,746
That's impossible.
229
00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:08,165
He's the puppet of the United States.
230
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:12,669
He's only received 2,000 guilty votes?
231
00:20:14,755 --> 00:20:16,673
This country is over.
232
00:20:22,638 --> 00:20:27,601
Incredible.
Girls these days can't even do this.
233
00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:30,187
I had no choice but to help her.
234
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:32,731
Although I don't like being wired.
235
00:20:34,358 --> 00:20:36,610
He deserved to get his brain fried.
236
00:20:36,693 --> 00:20:37,694
Yes.
237
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:43,951
Still, he got his brain fried just for
uploading how he got wired with a girl.
238
00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:49,873
There were only 2,000 complaints on
the PM, who's accused of corruption.
239
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:50,958
Yup.
240
00:20:51,333 --> 00:20:54,544
It might just mean the people sensed
241
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:57,756
that the Prime Minister's scandal
was fake.
242
00:20:58,298 --> 00:21:03,512
Citizens unconsciously accuse others
and lead them to ruin.
243
00:21:04,137 --> 00:21:07,849
That's how post-humans tried
to raid us this time?
244
00:21:08,976 --> 00:21:11,311
I hate countries with intelligence.
245
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,731
The shutdown of Think Pol
has been confirmed.
246
00:21:15,482 --> 00:21:17,609
They are trying to salvage the codes now.
247
00:21:18,151 --> 00:21:20,279
So, what happened to Uotori?
248
00:21:22,406 --> 00:21:25,742
It looks like
he hasn't learned his lesson.
249
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,079
According to him,
250
00:21:29,162 --> 00:21:33,458
the creator of the program lost hope
in this country a bit earlier than us.
251
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:35,752
He sure is innocent.
252
00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:41,091
At any rate, he can't be accused
just for developing Peep Hole.
253
00:21:41,675 --> 00:21:45,012
We've got
yet another difficult case to handle.
254
00:21:45,679 --> 00:21:46,680
Yes.
255
00:21:47,472 --> 00:21:51,018
We'll go after the middle school student
who made the program for now.
256
00:21:51,643 --> 00:21:52,853
Roger.
257
00:21:57,232 --> 00:21:58,233
Mr. Batou.
258
00:21:58,775 --> 00:22:00,819
What happened to Mizukane?
259
00:22:00,902 --> 00:22:02,738
We found no lead.
260
00:22:04,406 --> 00:22:05,615
By the way...
261
00:22:06,366 --> 00:22:07,909
you did pretty well.
262
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:10,203
Really?
263
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:12,372
But you're not careful.
264
00:22:12,914 --> 00:22:16,668
You had no idea
that we eavesdropped on you.
265
00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:18,378
What?
266
00:22:19,171 --> 00:22:21,256
I had no idea.
267
00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:27,971
But I wouldn't mind
getting wired by you, Mr. Batou.
268
00:22:28,055 --> 00:22:29,973
No, thank you.
269
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:31,183
What?
270
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:33,393
Come on!
271
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:35,604
I know you hesitated.
272
00:22:35,687 --> 00:22:38,106
Wait for me, Mr. Batou!
