Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,422 --> 00:00:07,383
AS I DANCED, THE BEAUTIFUL LADY
WAS INTOXICATED.
2
00:00:07,466 --> 00:00:09,885
AS I DANCED,
THE SHINING MOON RESOUNDED.
3
00:00:09,969 --> 00:00:12,763
MAKING LOVE,
A GOD DESCENDS.
4
00:00:12,847 --> 00:00:15,683
THE DAWN BREAKS AND A WHITE'S
THRUSH SINGS SORROWFULLY.
5
00:00:15,766 --> 00:00:18,394
THE DISTANT GOD
MAY GIVE US BLESSING.
6
00:00:25,735 --> 00:00:27,486
...in the C-13 district
of Newport City.
7
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:31,240
The airspace over this area
will be closed. Repeat:
8
00:00:31,323 --> 00:00:34,201
To all patrolling air units.
A 208 is in progress...
9
00:00:34,326 --> 00:00:36,245
...in the C-13 district
of Newport City.
10
00:00:36,328 --> 00:00:39,415
The airspace over this area
will be closed. Repeat...
11
00:01:14,366 --> 00:01:16,452
There's nothing to worry about.
12
00:01:16,535 --> 00:01:19,497
You can try it again
once you're in our country.
13
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:21,749
"Try it again"?
14
00:01:21,832 --> 00:01:24,668
Just as there's no such thing
as a bug-free program...
15
00:01:24,752 --> 00:01:28,714
...there's no program
that can't be debugged. Am I wrong?
16
00:01:28,798 --> 00:01:30,841
You don't understand.
17
00:01:30,925 --> 00:01:33,594
We still don't know
if it really is a bug.
18
00:01:33,677 --> 00:01:35,971
Project 2501's
original purpose was--
19
00:01:36,055 --> 00:01:39,100
Major, Section 6
is ready to move in.
20
00:01:41,185 --> 00:01:43,437
- Major!
- I hear you.
21
00:01:44,772 --> 00:01:47,650
There's a lot of static
in your brain.
22
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:49,860
It's that time of the month.
23
00:01:59,286 --> 00:02:02,164
Won't there be trouble if Section 9
butts in on Section 6's operation?
24
00:02:02,248 --> 00:02:04,208
That diplomat's a pretty
well-known bastard.
25
00:02:04,291 --> 00:02:07,419
Even if they catch him there,
all they can do is deport him.
26
00:02:07,503 --> 00:02:13,175
We're the only ones
who can get our hands dirty.
27
00:02:13,259 --> 00:02:15,803
They're moving. Take us over
to the extraction point.
28
00:02:58,470 --> 00:03:00,556
What? The police?
29
00:03:07,897 --> 00:03:11,400
Stop it! Who told you to
open fire?! Drop your guns!
30
00:03:15,571 --> 00:03:19,241
I have diplomatic immunity!
Let me see who's in charge!
31
00:03:19,325 --> 00:03:21,577
Transporting a listed programmer
out of the country...
32
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:24,246
...violates our
arms export treaty.
33
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:28,459
I could also have you
charged with kidnapping.
34
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:30,294
Give the man up.
35
00:03:30,377 --> 00:03:33,005
I'm afraid not. He's applied
for political asylum with us...
36
00:03:33,088 --> 00:03:35,925
...and he's already signed
a statement to that effect!
37
00:03:36,008 --> 00:03:38,219
- When?!
- I don't have to tell you.
38
00:03:38,302 --> 00:03:40,846
By right of international law,
my country can...
39
00:03:40,971 --> 00:03:43,390
...offer him protection
and right of safe passage.
40
00:03:44,433 --> 00:03:46,852
The document is on file
at our embassy.
41
00:03:46,936 --> 00:03:48,771
I'll transfer a copy to you
in a few days.
42
00:03:48,854 --> 00:03:51,273
Are you sure about this?
They won't take you back alive.
43
00:03:51,398 --> 00:03:53,234
I must ask that you
watch what you say.
44
00:03:53,317 --> 00:03:55,903
Our country is
a peace-loving democracy.
45
00:03:55,986 --> 00:03:57,321
Is that a fact?
46
00:04:00,115 --> 00:04:02,159
Out the window! Shoot!
47
00:04:12,294 --> 00:04:14,713
Thermoptic camouflage...
48
00:09:01,667 --> 00:09:04,211
This is a rare pleasure,
Mr. Aramaki.
49
00:09:04,294 --> 00:09:07,047
What can the Foreign Ministry
do for Section 9?
50
00:09:07,130 --> 00:09:09,091
What are these secret talks
you've scheduled with...
51
00:09:09,174 --> 00:09:11,218
...the Gavel Republic
for tomorrow?
52
00:09:11,301 --> 00:09:13,262
The usual. Foreign aid.
53
00:09:13,345 --> 00:09:16,265
The new government reopened
the request after the revolution.
54
00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:18,934
They claim to be
more democratic...
55
00:09:19,017 --> 00:09:21,770
...but they'll probably be
as bad as the last bunch.
56
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:24,398
Giving them money
they don't earn will help nobody.
57
00:09:24,481 --> 00:09:26,149
They consider it reparation
for past exploitation and won't thank--
58
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:28,485
And what will the government do?
59
00:09:28,569 --> 00:09:31,071
The problem is that
we have the leader of...
60
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:33,865
...the old junta here
looking for political asylum.
61
00:09:33,949 --> 00:09:35,742
Colonel Maless, right?
62
00:09:35,826 --> 00:09:38,912
So do we throw him out
and grant them the aid?
63
00:09:38,996 --> 00:09:42,291
Or do we publicly recognize him
as a refugee and cut the aid?
64
00:09:42,374 --> 00:09:44,835
Not an easy decision to make.
65
00:09:45,877 --> 00:09:48,672
Personally, if I could find
a politically acceptable reason...
66
00:09:48,755 --> 00:09:52,718
...I'd have the man deported
in a heartbeat.
67
00:10:00,392 --> 00:10:03,645
Oh, yes, thanks for your help
with that programmer defection.
68
00:10:03,729 --> 00:10:07,107
Nakamura over in Section 6
said he was grateful.
69
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:10,402
After all, we in the diplomatic corps
have to keep our hands clean.
70
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,284
Accessed.
71
00:10:17,367 --> 00:10:20,120
We've lost response.
How's her brainwave output look?
72
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:23,624
Normal. Switching over
the virtual experience mode pattern.
73
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:27,836
The Foreign Minister's
interpreter.
74
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:32,424
23 minutes ago, her cyber-brain
was hacked via telephone connection.
75
00:10:34,301 --> 00:10:36,970
Just as Foreign Intelligence
division predicted...
76
00:10:37,054 --> 00:10:39,097
...the Puppet Master
has begun to break into...
77
00:10:39,181 --> 00:10:40,682
...every terminal
on the network.
78
00:10:40,766 --> 00:10:43,143
Pattern analysis shows
a high probability that...
79
00:10:43,268 --> 00:10:46,355
...he's attempting to disrupt
secret talks with Gavel.
80
00:10:46,438 --> 00:10:49,274
We've placed everyone attending
the talks under surveillance.
81
00:10:50,317 --> 00:10:52,736
Probably trying
to hack her ghost...
82
00:10:52,819 --> 00:10:55,864
...so she'll kill people
at the meeting.
83
00:10:55,947 --> 00:11:00,827
How long till he hacks through
her protection and reaches her ghost?
84
00:11:00,952 --> 00:11:05,582
He's using an old-style HA-3.
I'd say about two hours.
85
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:07,709
After that, we'll have to cut
the line to eliminate all risk.
86
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:11,129
Batou and lshikawa are in a car,
tracing the signal.
87
00:11:11,213 --> 00:11:13,131
Rendezvous with them.
88
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:33,402
The Puppet Master.
That phantom hacker, right?
89
00:11:33,485 --> 00:11:35,737
They think he's an American.
90
00:11:35,821 --> 00:11:38,615
Age, sex, personal history...
everything about him is unknown.
91
00:11:38,699 --> 00:11:41,743
Since last winter he's been
mainly active in the EC.
92
00:11:41,827 --> 00:11:44,454
Internationally wanted
on dozens of charges of...
93
00:11:44,538 --> 00:11:47,290
...stock manipulation,
spying, political engineering...
94
00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:50,919
...terrorism, and violation
of cyber-brain privacy.
95
00:11:51,044 --> 00:11:54,214
He's ghost-hacked so many people
to carry out his crimes...
96
00:11:54,297 --> 00:11:56,758
...he's earned the code name
"The Puppet Master."
97
00:11:56,842 --> 00:11:59,594
This is the first instance of him
operating in this country.
98
00:11:59,678 --> 00:12:03,932
So if he's so hot,
why's he using an old HA-3?
99
00:12:04,015 --> 00:12:09,688
Well, a newer type would be
less detectable and be harder to trace.
100
00:12:09,813 --> 00:12:14,234
But it could also implicate the former
junta leader, Colonel Maless.
101
00:12:14,317 --> 00:12:19,322
So he's using an older type
to keep us from suspecting him.
102
00:12:19,406 --> 00:12:23,702
Or somebody else
wants us to think that.
103
00:12:23,785 --> 00:12:27,247
Maless may just be another pawn
in this whole thing.
104
00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:31,293
Now you're overthinking this.
There's no evidence of that.
105
00:12:31,376 --> 00:12:32,961
Evidence?
106
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,258
I just have a whisper...
A whisper from my ghost.
107
00:12:38,341 --> 00:12:41,386
By the way, are you
still using that revolver?
108
00:12:41,470 --> 00:12:44,306
Afraid both guns
in a two-man team'll jam up?
109
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:46,308
I like the Matever.
110
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:48,393
Since I depend on your backup,
I think stopping power is...
111
00:12:48,477 --> 00:12:50,687
...more important than
personal preference.
112
00:12:50,771 --> 00:12:52,773
Especially since it's
my ass on the line.
113
00:12:52,856 --> 00:12:55,525
Use the Zastaber instead.
114
00:12:55,650 --> 00:12:58,570
Major, I've been
meaning to ask you.
115
00:12:58,653 --> 00:13:02,365
Why'd you ask for a guy like me
to be transferred in from the police?
116
00:13:02,449 --> 00:13:03,909
Because you're a guy like you.
117
00:13:04,034 --> 00:13:05,535
Huh?
118
00:13:05,619 --> 00:13:10,415
An honest cop with a clean record.
And you've got a regular family.
119
00:13:10,499 --> 00:13:14,211
With the exception of your
cyber-net implants, your brain's real.
120
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:16,838
No matter how powerful
we may be fighting-wise...
121
00:13:16,922 --> 00:13:19,758
...a system where all the parts
react the same way...
122
00:13:19,841 --> 00:13:22,886
...is a system
with a fatal flaw.
123
00:13:23,929 --> 00:13:25,388
Like individual,
like organization.
124
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:27,849
Overspecialization
leads to death.
125
00:13:27,974 --> 00:13:29,351
That's all.
126
00:13:40,946 --> 00:13:43,490
- Come on!
- All right!
127
00:13:48,411 --> 00:13:50,831
We're already 40 seconds
behind schedule!
128
00:13:50,956 --> 00:13:54,251
- Gimme five more seconds.
- Of all the lousy luck...
129
00:14:00,757 --> 00:14:02,300
Hey, sorry.
130
00:14:02,425 --> 00:14:05,428
My last partner, the one
they busted for working without...
131
00:14:05,554 --> 00:14:07,889
...a permit,
was a better worker than you!
132
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:12,727
You're actually trying
to ghost-hack your own wife...
133
00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:14,896
...just to see
what's on her mind?
134
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:19,484
She doesn't have any time for me
and now she wants a divorce.
135
00:14:19,568 --> 00:14:22,612
On top of that, my daughter,
my only child...
136
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:24,990
...thinks I'm cheating
on her mother!
137
00:14:25,073 --> 00:14:28,493
So how'd you get your hands
on cracking software?
138
00:14:28,577 --> 00:14:33,415
From some programmer.
A really nice guy I met in a bar.
139
00:14:33,498 --> 00:14:36,418
I told him my wife's lawyer
was keeping me from seeing her...
140
00:14:36,501 --> 00:14:38,253
...and he said he'd help.
141
00:14:38,336 --> 00:14:41,089
Told me to access from different places
to keep from getting caught.
142
00:14:41,172 --> 00:14:42,883
Smart guy, huh?
143
00:14:47,888 --> 00:14:50,015
Asshole! Ya tryin' to
get yourself killed?!
144
00:14:50,098 --> 00:14:53,101
Looks like we aren't
the only busy people out here.
145
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:57,981
Nobody here.
146
00:14:58,064 --> 00:15:00,400
What's the point?
Even if we trace the calls...
147
00:15:00,483 --> 00:15:03,194
...the guy's already gone
by the time we get there.
148
00:15:03,278 --> 00:15:06,114
- Vicious cycle, huh?
- Quit complaining!
149
00:15:06,197 --> 00:15:08,617
Kusanagi and Togusa are headed
for the next expected hack point.
150
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:10,869
You two look for something there.
151
00:15:10,952 --> 00:15:12,370
Look for what?
152
00:15:12,454 --> 00:15:14,456
Anything-
153
00:15:14,539 --> 00:15:16,833
Fuckin' old coot.
He tells us to snoop around?!
154
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:20,337
Wait a sec.
155
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:22,714
Damn. Missed him.
156
00:15:22,797 --> 00:15:25,425
Hey, Pops. Did you see
a garbage truck go by here?
157
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:27,427
Who wants to know?
158
00:15:27,510 --> 00:15:29,137
Did you see it or not?
159
00:15:29,220 --> 00:15:32,933
Yeah, but they were gone
by the time I got my trash.
160
00:15:33,016 --> 00:15:35,644
One was using the phone,
so I thought I had time--
161
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,316
Uh, can you take this to them?
162
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:45,528
A garbage truck? Of course.
They move every seven minutes.
163
00:15:45,654 --> 00:15:49,824
Control! Get me the trash
collection routes for that sector!
164
00:15:59,834 --> 00:16:02,504
There are eight garbage trucks
operating in the target area.
165
00:16:04,506 --> 00:16:07,008
Target is a type C
collection truck, #79.
166
00:16:09,469 --> 00:16:11,388
Let me drive.
167
00:16:17,686 --> 00:16:21,856
He may be in contact with someone else.
Observe, but don't move in!
168
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:24,025
Route data accessed.
169
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:28,571
Hacking points traced and matched.
Target now stopped at next point.
170
00:16:30,365 --> 00:16:32,742
Confirm access via HA-3.
171
00:16:38,581 --> 00:16:40,375
Sorry, sorry.
172
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:43,378
How about I do the trash
and you make the call on the next stop?
173
00:16:44,921 --> 00:16:45,922
Okay?
174
00:16:46,006 --> 00:16:48,341
Leave me out
of your little crime spree.
175
00:16:48,425 --> 00:16:50,969
Can't believe this
load of bullshit...
176
00:16:51,052 --> 00:16:54,389
- Do you have kids?
- Do I look like I do?
177
00:16:54,472 --> 00:16:56,599
Then you couldn't understand.
178
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:59,019
My daughter's my life.
179
00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:00,979
Take a look.
Isn't she just a little angel?
180
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:05,233
I hate looking at other
people's family albums.
181
00:17:07,777 --> 00:17:11,114
Yeah, truck 79.
Oh, boss. What's up?
182
00:17:12,157 --> 00:17:15,076
The cops were checking our routes?
You wanna know why?
183
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,495
How should I know?!
184
00:17:20,915 --> 00:17:24,377
They spotted the hack!
I gotta warn my friend!
185
00:17:24,461 --> 00:17:27,088
We're gonna have to
skip our next stop!
186
00:17:27,172 --> 00:17:31,468
Target has deviated from route.
Increasing speed to next point.
187
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:35,597
Is he on to us?
Didn't think he could see me.
188
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,433
My accessing the sanitation department
network may have tipped him off.
189
00:17:38,516 --> 00:17:40,351
Should've used a back door.
190
00:17:40,435 --> 00:17:42,479
Too late. Go for the collar.
191
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,485
You can drive now.
192
00:18:51,881 --> 00:18:54,884
Jesus. He blew a perfectly good
armored van to shit.
193
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:58,346
He hosed us with high-velocity AP
rounds! That car door's no cover!
194
00:18:58,471 --> 00:19:01,141
In a sub machinegun?
The guy must be nuts.
195
00:19:15,697 --> 00:19:17,699
He's using
thermoptic camo too?!
196
00:19:17,782 --> 00:19:20,160
Keep after him!
I'll flank him from above!
197
00:19:21,536 --> 00:19:24,622
Togusa, if you're still alive,
arrest those two garbage men.
198
00:19:24,706 --> 00:19:26,207
Roger.
199
00:19:28,793 --> 00:19:30,461
This job just never lets up,
does it?
200
00:20:26,935 --> 00:20:29,187
Police! Everybody down!
201
00:22:30,141 --> 00:22:31,851
All finished?
202
00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:27,115
You all set?
203
00:23:27,198 --> 00:23:30,243
That's what you get when you
overload the ammo rating.
204
00:23:30,326 --> 00:23:34,831
Frame's bent all to hell.
The barrel's shot too.
205
00:23:34,914 --> 00:23:38,626
Doesn't matter if you arrest me.
I'm not gonna talk!
206
00:23:38,709 --> 00:23:40,586
Talk?!
207
00:23:42,463 --> 00:23:47,218
And what would I ask a guy who
doesn't even know his own name?!
208
00:23:49,262 --> 00:23:51,222
Your mother's face.
209
00:23:51,305 --> 00:23:54,058
The place you grew up in.
210
00:23:54,142 --> 00:23:56,477
Memories of your childhood.
211
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,022
Can you remember
any of those things?
212
00:24:07,488 --> 00:24:10,616
There's nothing sadder
than a puppet without a ghost.
213
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:13,119
Especially the kind with red blood
running through them.
214
00:24:28,342 --> 00:24:30,803
We'll rush the place once the guys
in the helicopter are inside.
215
00:24:30,887 --> 00:24:33,639
Squad B goes around back,
the rest of you take the front.
216
00:24:34,682 --> 00:24:38,895
Saito, have your men
pull the plugs on all their cars.
217
00:24:38,978 --> 00:24:41,272
Begin recording.
218
00:24:44,233 --> 00:24:46,944
Message from HQ, sir.
219
00:24:47,028 --> 00:24:50,114
We've lD'ed the guy
the Major collared.
220
00:24:50,198 --> 00:24:51,574
Go on.
221
00:24:51,657 --> 00:24:54,327
Tsuan Gen Fang. Age: 28.
222
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:58,915
Illegal alien.
Weapons violations. Three priors.
223
00:24:59,957 --> 00:25:04,504
Was hiding out with a militant
refugee group up till a month ago.
224
00:25:04,587 --> 00:25:08,007
One week ago,
because of his record...
225
00:25:08,090 --> 00:25:10,801
...he was contacted by a military
liaison in the Gavel embassy to...
226
00:25:10,885 --> 00:25:14,013
...attack the secret talks
we would be having with them.
227
00:25:14,096 --> 00:25:16,140
And the real story?
228
00:25:16,224 --> 00:25:21,270
Nickname: Corgi. Occupation:
a rather violent scrap dealer.
229
00:25:21,354 --> 00:25:23,272
Guess you could
call him a thug.
230
00:25:23,356 --> 00:25:26,859
We've checked the records
the local cops have on him...
231
00:25:28,152 --> 00:25:30,738
...but we can't find
any connection with Gavel.
232
00:25:31,739 --> 00:25:34,951
Another puppet from our friend
the Puppet Master.
233
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:36,953
And what about lshikawa?
234
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:41,499
He's back. He's with Togusa
talking to that poor trashman.
235
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,588
So what about the Puppet Master
on your end?
236
00:25:47,672 --> 00:25:51,050
How's he look to you?
237
00:25:54,804 --> 00:25:56,806
Like a puppet himself.
238
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,976
- Squad B, in position.
- Squads A and C, ready.
239
00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:03,145
Ready to move in, sir.
240
00:26:03,229 --> 00:26:05,189
Move in.
241
00:26:08,109 --> 00:26:10,778
What do you mean,
a "virtual experience"?
242
00:26:10,861 --> 00:26:13,990
I mean your wife, your daughter,
the divorce, the affair...
243
00:26:14,073 --> 00:26:17,201
They're all fake memories.
Like a dream.
244
00:26:17,326 --> 00:26:22,206
Someone was using you to
ghost-hack a government official.
245
00:26:22,331 --> 00:26:25,084
No. That's impossible!
246
00:26:25,167 --> 00:26:27,461
I've been to your apartment.
247
00:26:27,545 --> 00:26:30,464
No one's there.
It's a one-room apartment.
248
00:26:30,548 --> 00:26:33,676
Yeah, I moved there
when we split up--
249
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:37,597
You've been living there
for 10 years!
250
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,141
You have no wife, no child.
251
00:26:40,224 --> 00:26:43,352
Your family exists
only in your mind.
252
00:26:44,687 --> 00:26:49,358
Look. This is the picture
you showed to your partner.
253
00:26:49,442 --> 00:26:51,902
Who is it of?
254
00:26:51,986 --> 00:26:55,781
But she was there.
My daughter--
255
00:26:55,865 --> 00:26:58,659
Smiling like an angel...
256
00:26:58,743 --> 00:27:01,162
What's your daughter's name?
257
00:27:01,287 --> 00:27:03,914
Where did you meet
your wife and when?
258
00:27:03,998 --> 00:27:07,084
How many years ago
did you get married?
259
00:27:07,168 --> 00:27:10,880
Who do you see in the picture?
260
00:27:13,215 --> 00:27:16,886
How do I get rid
of these fake memories?
261
00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:19,180
I'm sorry. With our
current technology...
262
00:27:19,263 --> 00:27:21,349
There've been two successful
deprogrammings...
263
00:27:21,432 --> 00:27:23,684
...but I can't
recommend it to you.
264
00:27:23,768 --> 00:27:25,519
I'm really sorry.
265
00:27:25,603 --> 00:27:27,980
Virtual experiences, dreams...
266
00:27:28,064 --> 00:27:33,653
All data that exists
is both reality and fantasy.
267
00:27:35,112 --> 00:27:38,115
Whichever it is, the data
a person collects in a lifetime...
268
00:27:38,199 --> 00:27:40,743
...is a tiny bit
compared to the whole.
269
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:55,943
A cyborg who goes diving
in her spare time.
270
00:28:56,026 --> 00:29:00,322
That can't be a good sign.
When did you start doing this?
271
00:29:04,910 --> 00:29:08,914
Doesn't the ocean scare you?
If the floaters stopped working.
272
00:29:08,998 --> 00:29:13,002
Then I'd probably die.
Or would you dive in after me?
273
00:29:14,712 --> 00:29:17,339
No one forced you
to come out here with me.
274
00:29:17,423 --> 00:29:18,883
I just--
275
00:29:51,707 --> 00:29:55,044
So what's it feel like
when you go diving?
276
00:29:55,127 --> 00:29:58,506
Didn't you go through
underwater training?
277
00:29:58,589 --> 00:30:01,091
I'm not talking about
doing it in a damned pool.
278
00:30:01,175 --> 00:30:05,513
I feel fear. Anxiety.
Loneliness. Darkness.
279
00:30:05,596 --> 00:30:08,182
And perhaps even... hope.
280
00:30:08,265 --> 00:30:11,018
Hope?
In the darkness of the sea?
281
00:30:12,228 --> 00:30:14,188
As I float up
towards the surface...
282
00:30:14,271 --> 00:30:18,609
...I almost feel as though
I could change into something else.
283
00:30:24,615 --> 00:30:27,785
As though you want
to quit Section 9?
284
00:30:30,996 --> 00:30:34,166
Batou, how much of your
original body do you have left?
285
00:30:34,250 --> 00:30:35,626
Are you drunk?
286
00:30:35,709 --> 00:30:38,170
Convenient, isn't it?
287
00:30:38,254 --> 00:30:41,257
With the merest thought,
the chemical plants inside our bodies...
288
00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:45,553
...could metabolize all the alcohol
in our blood in about 10 seconds...
289
00:30:45,636 --> 00:30:48,806
...allowing us to sit here
drinking while on stand-by.
290
00:30:48,889 --> 00:30:52,560
If a technological feat
is possible, man will do it.
291
00:30:52,643 --> 00:30:54,562
Almost as though it's wired
into the core of our being.
292
00:30:54,645 --> 00:30:57,982
Metabolic control.
Enhanced sensory perception.
293
00:30:58,065 --> 00:31:00,776
Improved reflexes
and muscle capacity.
294
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:03,737
Vastly increased data
processing speed and capacity.
295
00:31:03,821 --> 00:31:08,492
All improvements thanks to our
cyber-brains and cyborg bodies.
296
00:31:08,576 --> 00:31:12,121
So what if we can't live
without high-level maintenance?
297
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:14,164
We have nothing
to complain about.
298
00:31:14,248 --> 00:31:18,127
It doesn't mean we've sold
our souls to Section 9.
299
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:21,547
We do have the right
to resign if we choose.
300
00:31:21,630 --> 00:31:24,508
Provided we give the government
back our cyborg shells...
301
00:31:24,592 --> 00:31:26,552
...and the memories they hold.
302
00:31:26,635 --> 00:31:30,973
Just as there are many parts
needed to make a human human...
303
00:31:31,056 --> 00:31:34,184
...there's a remarkable number
of things needed to make...
304
00:31:34,268 --> 00:31:36,186
...an individual what they are.
305
00:31:36,270 --> 00:31:37,897
A face to distinguish
yourself from others.
306
00:31:37,980 --> 00:31:39,523
A voice you aren't
aware of yourself.
307
00:31:39,648 --> 00:31:41,483
The hand you see when you awaken.
308
00:31:41,567 --> 00:31:44,528
The memories of childhood,
the feelings for the future.
309
00:31:44,612 --> 00:31:47,489
That's not all.
There's the expanse of the data net...
310
00:31:47,573 --> 00:31:50,200
...my cyber-brain can access.
311
00:31:50,284 --> 00:31:52,202
All of that goes into
making me what I am.
312
00:31:52,286 --> 00:31:55,831
Giving rise to a consciousness
that I call "me."
313
00:31:55,915 --> 00:31:59,877
And simultaneously
confining "me" within set limits.
314
00:32:04,757 --> 00:32:08,218
Is that why you dive into the sea
with a body that only sinks?!
315
00:32:08,302 --> 00:32:11,680
What is it you see
in the water's darkness?
316
00:32:13,057 --> 00:32:17,019
"For now we see through
a glass, darkly."
317
00:32:25,152 --> 00:32:27,321
That was you, wasn't it?
318
00:36:35,569 --> 00:36:36,987
Sensors: restarted.
319
00:36:37,070 --> 00:36:39,072
Auxiliary computer link: check.
320
00:36:39,156 --> 00:36:41,158
Visual sensors: online.
321
00:36:41,241 --> 00:36:44,119
- Cyborg body signal?
- Output: nominal.
322
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:53,503
Can't you call in
if you're going to be late?
323
00:36:56,882 --> 00:36:59,635
We're all set.
Should we hook her up?
324
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,078
Okay, looking good. Kill it!
325
00:37:26,161 --> 00:37:29,081
Be in my office
in three minutes.
326
00:37:33,377 --> 00:37:38,590
Since you were late,
I'll explain what's going on.
327
00:37:38,674 --> 00:37:42,636
Two hours ago, a Megatech Body
assembly line in Newport City...
328
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,222
...just started up
and produced a cyborg shell.
329
00:37:45,305 --> 00:37:47,975
By the time the guys in charge
realized what was happening...
330
00:37:48,058 --> 00:37:51,061
...the body had escaped.
331
00:37:51,144 --> 00:37:54,147
Then, just as they had thrown up
a cordon to catch the thing...
332
00:37:54,231 --> 00:37:56,316
...we got a call from
a conscientious truck driver that...
333
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,404
...he'd just run down a naked lady
wandering around on the highway.
334
00:38:00,487 --> 00:38:02,864
Which brings us to here.
335
00:38:02,948 --> 00:38:05,993
I've heard Megatech Body's
tied pretty closely to the government...
336
00:38:06,076 --> 00:38:08,996
...and that all the shells
made there are secret.
337
00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:11,039
If a hacker did this,
he had to swim through...
338
00:38:11,123 --> 00:38:13,333
...some of the heaviest
protection around.
339
00:38:13,417 --> 00:38:15,377
And that isn't the only problem.
340
00:38:17,921 --> 00:38:23,260
Of course, it doesn't have
an organic brain in its head...
341
00:38:23,343 --> 00:38:26,305
...but we've detected
what looks like a ghost...
342
00:38:26,388 --> 00:38:28,056
...in the auxiliary
computer brain.
343
00:38:29,850 --> 00:38:32,269
It isn't unlike the virtual
ghost-line you get...
344
00:38:32,352 --> 00:38:34,813
...when a real ghost
is dubbed off.
345
00:38:34,896 --> 00:38:37,816
But it shows none of the data
degradation dubbing would produce.
346
00:38:37,899 --> 00:38:42,696
Well, until we map the barrier
perimeter and dive in there...
347
00:38:42,779 --> 00:38:45,449
...we won't know anything
for sure.
348
00:38:45,532 --> 00:38:48,410
Anyhow, better get back
to checking her over.
349
00:38:48,493 --> 00:38:49,536
Good work.
350
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:52,414
Time to rip her apart.
351
00:38:57,544 --> 00:39:02,382
Come on, you guys don't think
there's a ghost in that thing.
352
00:39:02,466 --> 00:39:04,468
It's possible.
353
00:39:04,551 --> 00:39:08,180
I've heard celluloid dolls
can have a soul.
354
00:39:08,263 --> 00:39:12,809
And this thing's stuffed
full of neurotech devices.
355
00:39:12,893 --> 00:39:15,312
I wouldn't be surprised
if it had a soul.
356
00:39:16,521 --> 00:39:20,025
Since you're new here,
you probably don't know.
357
00:39:20,108 --> 00:39:24,029
The Major's shell
was also made by Megatech Body.
358
00:39:24,112 --> 00:39:27,991
Not just hers.
Me and lshikawa for one...
359
00:39:28,075 --> 00:39:31,328
...along with Saito and others
all need maintenance and such.
360
00:39:31,411 --> 00:39:34,331
Outside of you and the Chief,
everyone in Section 9...
361
00:39:34,414 --> 00:39:37,376
...needs to make use
of their kind of services.
362
00:39:37,459 --> 00:39:42,005
Maybe you can see now why we all look
a little worried, Togusa.
363
00:39:42,089 --> 00:39:44,966
Assuming the enemy is an outsider,
we can't know for sure...
364
00:39:45,050 --> 00:39:46,968
...whether he's in
that cyborg body or not.
365
00:39:47,052 --> 00:39:49,012
But he cracked through
the protection...
366
00:39:49,096 --> 00:39:51,306
...around some of our
most secret files...
367
00:39:51,390 --> 00:39:53,975
...and managed to send a program
with a ghost-line on it through.
368
00:39:54,059 --> 00:39:58,063
And in a way that was easy to spot.
What's he after?!
369
00:39:58,146 --> 00:39:59,981
Let's leave that for now.
370
00:40:00,107 --> 00:40:04,528
Togusa, get over to Megatech
and help lshikawa check the place out...
371
00:40:04,611 --> 00:40:06,571
Batou, I've closed down
the nets...
372
00:40:06,655 --> 00:40:09,699
...with files as sensitive
as Megatech's.
373
00:40:09,783 --> 00:40:12,994
I want you to double-check
the protection we have on them.
374
00:40:13,078 --> 00:40:17,040
I'll get a protection maze put together.
I'll dive tomorrow.
375
00:40:17,124 --> 00:40:20,544
You sure? We could force it
into another shell and let it swim.
376
00:40:21,586 --> 00:40:26,383
I have to see for myself
what's inside that thing.
377
00:40:26,466 --> 00:40:29,386
Don't let anyone else
dive in there before me!
378
00:40:33,098 --> 00:40:34,558
What's with her?
379
00:40:34,641 --> 00:40:37,477
I wrote in my team evaluations
that she's been acting weird...
380
00:40:37,561 --> 00:40:40,272
...ever since this Puppet Master
case fell into our laps.
381
00:40:40,355 --> 00:40:42,023
Do you even read them?!
382
00:40:43,150 --> 00:40:45,610
Chief, do you ever wonder
just how trustworthy the cyberdocs...
383
00:40:45,694 --> 00:40:47,904
...who service your brain are?
384
00:40:47,988 --> 00:40:52,451
Cyber-brain technicians undergo
regular psychological testing.
385
00:40:52,534 --> 00:40:55,662
And security-cleared ones have
their private lives checked too.
386
00:40:55,745 --> 00:40:59,458
But the people who administer
those checks are only human.
387
00:40:59,583 --> 00:41:02,294
Once you doubt, you can't stop...
388
00:41:02,377 --> 00:41:06,840
Chief, a Mr. Nakamura from
the MFA treaties bureau to see you.
389
00:41:07,883 --> 00:41:08,925
Okay, send him up.
390
00:41:19,769 --> 00:41:21,771
Wasn't that fat guy...?
391
00:41:21,855 --> 00:41:26,735
Nakamura, chief of Section 6.
Foreign Affairs treaties bureau.
392
00:41:26,818 --> 00:41:28,653
I don't know who
the white guy with him was.
393
00:41:31,990 --> 00:41:33,783
I'm outta here.
394
00:41:33,867 --> 00:41:36,495
Tell lshikawa
to keep cool, okay?
395
00:41:44,669 --> 00:41:46,254
So what's your problem?
396
00:41:46,338 --> 00:41:48,798
Doesn't that cyborg body
look like me?
397
00:41:48,882 --> 00:41:52,010
- No, it doesn't.
- Not the face or the figure.
398
00:41:52,093 --> 00:41:53,220
What then?
399
00:41:53,303 --> 00:41:57,682
Maybe all full-replacement cyborgs
like me start wondering this.
400
00:41:59,351 --> 00:42:02,145
That perhaps the real me
died a long time ago...
401
00:42:02,270 --> 00:42:06,274
...and I'm a replicant made with
a cyborg body and computer brain.
402
00:42:06,358 --> 00:42:11,154
Or maybe there never was
a real "me" to begin with.
403
00:42:11,238 --> 00:42:14,366
You've got real brain matter
in that titanium skull of yours.
404
00:42:14,449 --> 00:42:16,993
And you get treated like
a real person, don't you?
405
00:42:17,077 --> 00:42:20,080
There's no person
who's ever seen their own brain.
406
00:42:20,163 --> 00:42:24,626
I believe I exist based only
on what my environment tells me.
407
00:42:24,709 --> 00:42:27,629
Don't you believe
in your own ghost?
408
00:42:27,712 --> 00:42:30,340
And what if a computer brain
could generate a ghost...
409
00:42:30,423 --> 00:42:32,676
...and harbor a soul?
410
00:42:32,759 --> 00:42:36,429
On what basis then
do I believe in myself?
411
00:42:43,270 --> 00:42:45,355
Bullshit.
412
00:42:47,065 --> 00:42:53,446
I'll see for myself what's in that body.
With my own ghost!
413
00:42:54,739 --> 00:42:57,617
We're both busy men,
so let's keep this short.
414
00:42:57,701 --> 00:42:59,494
I would prefer that.
415
00:42:59,578 --> 00:43:01,955
I'm here to take the contents
of that cyborg body.
416
00:43:02,038 --> 00:43:05,166
In return, we absolve Section 9
of all responsibilities in the case.
417
00:43:06,418 --> 00:43:07,794
The Foreign Minister's signature.
418
00:43:19,723 --> 00:43:23,602
Security, whose official vehicles
are parked in the basement garage?
419
00:43:23,685 --> 00:43:29,107
They belong to Chief Nakamura
of the treaties bureau and a Dr. Willis.
420
00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:31,860
Give me the video record
of their entering the building.
421
00:43:40,660 --> 00:43:42,495
Replay, infra-red view.
422
00:43:56,801 --> 00:43:59,054
One... Two... Three...
423
00:44:01,848 --> 00:44:06,811
Send me the pressure sensor records
for basement garage spaces B-7 and 8.
424
00:44:31,086 --> 00:44:35,090
- Major, this is Togusa. Code 0-9.
- What?
425
00:44:35,173 --> 00:44:38,718
Does Nakamura have some sort
of special cyborg body?
426
00:44:38,802 --> 00:44:40,762
There are no cyborgs
in Section 6.
427
00:44:40,845 --> 00:44:43,056
Besides the diplomatic problems,
maintaining them...
428
00:44:43,139 --> 00:44:45,433
...is too much trouble
when they have to go overseas.
429
00:44:45,517 --> 00:44:48,395
So even if that tall guy
was a cyborg himself...
430
00:44:48,478 --> 00:44:51,731
...together they wouldn't weigh
more than half a ton, right?
431
00:44:51,815 --> 00:44:54,401
Pressure sensor data.
The garage?
432
00:44:54,484 --> 00:44:56,027
There are two VIP-mobiles here.
433
00:44:56,111 --> 00:44:59,030
But neither of them looks like
the type who'd drive himself.
434
00:44:59,114 --> 00:45:01,449
The security video
only shows the two of them...
435
00:45:01,533 --> 00:45:04,703
...but you know how sensitive
the entrance door sensors are.
436
00:45:04,786 --> 00:45:06,788
They took three full seconds
to close after them.
437
00:45:07,831 --> 00:45:12,085
It's illegal to use thermoptic camo
in a government building, right?
438
00:45:12,168 --> 00:45:14,754
It's a serious violation
of the National Security Act.
439
00:45:14,838 --> 00:45:19,551
Section 6 is up to something.
You all ready?
440
00:45:19,634 --> 00:45:21,428
If my Matever'll do.
441
00:45:58,965 --> 00:46:02,177
I don't need to remind you
that it's treason for you to...
442
00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:06,097
...be hiding something from me,
no matter how sensitive.
443
00:46:06,181 --> 00:46:07,807
For both of us.
444
00:46:07,891 --> 00:46:11,519
Whatever the MFA may prefer, this case
is in Section 9's jurisdiction.
445
00:46:11,603 --> 00:46:16,524
But we wouldn't mind cooperating
if there was good reason to.
446
00:46:17,901 --> 00:46:19,402
Dr. Willis?
447
00:46:19,486 --> 00:46:22,781
Confirmed.
It's definitely him.
448
00:46:22,864 --> 00:46:24,491
"Him"?
449
00:46:24,574 --> 00:46:28,828
He's referring to the original
ghost block within the shell.
450
00:46:28,912 --> 00:46:31,706
Its sex remains undetermined,
and the use of the term "he"...
451
00:46:31,790 --> 00:46:35,001
...is merely a nickname
the good doctor has given it.
452
00:46:35,084 --> 00:46:36,753
Perhaps it's time
I introduced you.
453
00:46:36,836 --> 00:46:41,758
This is the most unique hacker
in the history of cyber-brain crime.
454
00:46:41,841 --> 00:46:43,843
The Puppet Master.
455
00:46:45,428 --> 00:46:48,515
I believe you in Section 9
ran into him in that case...
456
00:46:48,598 --> 00:46:52,685
...involving the ghost-hack
on the Foreign Minister's translator.
457
00:46:52,769 --> 00:46:55,814
We in Section 6 have been
pursuing the Puppet Master...
458
00:46:55,897 --> 00:46:58,817
...with the utmost urgency
since he first appeared.
459
00:46:58,900 --> 00:47:01,861
We formed a project team
around Dr. Willis...
460
00:47:01,945 --> 00:47:05,323
...to analyze all data
on the Puppet Master's...
461
00:47:05,406 --> 00:47:08,868
...criminal tendencies
and behavior patterns.
462
00:47:08,952 --> 00:47:12,872
We then constructed special
anti-Puppet Master attack protection...
463
00:47:12,956 --> 00:47:16,668
...to lure him into
a secret cyborg body.
464
00:47:16,751 --> 00:47:19,838
You made him dive into a body
equipped with a cyber-brain...
465
00:47:19,921 --> 00:47:22,423
...and then had his real body killed?
466
00:47:22,507 --> 00:47:24,384
Yes, exactly.
467
00:47:24,467 --> 00:47:27,178
He may have shown up
in your back yard...
468
00:47:27,262 --> 00:47:30,348
...but he was born in America.
And since we were cooperating...
469
00:47:30,431 --> 00:47:32,851
...with the Americans to catch him,
we want to take him back ourselves.
470
00:47:32,934 --> 00:47:34,519
Surely you've no objections.
471
00:47:34,602 --> 00:47:39,190
Leaving his unidentified corpse
to be found somewhere.
472
00:47:41,651 --> 00:47:43,403
There will be no corpse.
473
00:47:43,486 --> 00:47:47,699
Because, until now,
there never was a body.
474
00:47:47,824 --> 00:47:51,160
The sensors are active!
Why didn't you say so?!
475
00:47:51,244 --> 00:47:55,456
We've cut all external controls.
It's running on internal power.
476
00:47:55,582 --> 00:47:58,126
I may have entered
this cyborg body because...
477
00:47:58,209 --> 00:48:01,129
...I was unable to crack
Section 6's attack protection...
478
00:48:01,212 --> 00:48:05,383
...but it was of my own free will
that I came here.
479
00:48:05,466 --> 00:48:09,429
As an autonomous life form,
I request political asylum.
480
00:48:09,512 --> 00:48:11,431
A life form?
481
00:48:11,514 --> 00:48:14,225
Ridiculous! You're merely
a self-preserving program!
482
00:48:14,309 --> 00:48:17,687
By that argument, I submit
the DNA you carry...
483
00:48:17,770 --> 00:48:22,317
...is nothing more than
a self-preserving program itself.
484
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:28,114
Life is like a node which is born
within the flow of information.
485
00:48:28,197 --> 00:48:32,368
As a species of life that carries DNA
as its memory system...
486
00:48:32,452 --> 00:48:35,747
...man gains his individuality
from the memories he carries.
487
00:48:35,830 --> 00:48:39,584
While memories may as well
be the same as fantasy...
488
00:48:39,667 --> 00:48:42,629
...it is by these memories
that mankind exists.
489
00:48:42,712 --> 00:48:46,883
When computers made it possible
to externalize memory...
490
00:48:46,966 --> 00:48:51,804
...you should have considered
all the implications that held.
491
00:48:51,930 --> 00:48:54,223
Nonsense!
No matter what you say...
492
00:48:54,307 --> 00:48:56,809
...you've no proof
that you're a life form!
493
00:48:56,893 --> 00:49:00,229
It is impossible
to prove such a thing.
494
00:49:00,313 --> 00:49:05,818
Especially since modern science
cannot define what life is.
495
00:49:05,902 --> 00:49:08,154
Who the devil are you?
496
00:49:08,237 --> 00:49:12,533
Even if you have a ghost,
criminals don't get set free!
497
00:49:12,617 --> 00:49:14,827
You're mistaken if you think
you'll get asylum!
498
00:49:14,911 --> 00:49:18,081
Time is on my side.
499
00:49:18,164 --> 00:49:20,541
While there is now
the possibility I can be killed...
500
00:49:20,625 --> 00:49:23,211
...this country does not have
a death penalty.
501
00:49:23,294 --> 00:49:26,255
Half immortal...
An artificial intelligence?
502
00:49:26,339 --> 00:49:28,675
I am not an A.l.
503
00:49:28,758 --> 00:49:33,054
My code name is Project 2501.
504
00:49:34,806 --> 00:49:40,019
I am a life form that was born
in the sea of information.
505
00:49:49,654 --> 00:49:51,030
Security! Intruders!
506
00:49:51,114 --> 00:49:53,366
Chief, the Puppet Master!
507
00:49:53,449 --> 00:49:57,453
- Where's your security?!
- Lock defense walls! Security!
508
00:49:57,578 --> 00:49:59,539
Security, come in!
509
00:50:23,438 --> 00:50:24,856
All right, I'm moving!
510
00:50:28,151 --> 00:50:29,610
Asshole!
511
00:50:34,907 --> 00:50:36,117
Did you do it?
512
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,787
Helluva car. My 9mm
didn't even scratch it.
513
00:50:39,871 --> 00:50:42,248
Finally found a use
for that Matever of yours.
514
00:50:45,710 --> 00:50:47,462
Okay. Not bad for a rookie.
515
00:50:47,545 --> 00:50:49,338
I got one right in the license plate.
Pretty good, huh?
516
00:50:49,422 --> 00:50:51,674
Next time, get two in.
517
00:50:51,799 --> 00:50:54,719
Okay, now it starts. Catch up
with them before they switch cars.
518
00:50:59,307 --> 00:51:01,267
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs...
519
00:51:01,350 --> 00:51:03,102
...will be filing a formal complaint
about what happened!
520
00:51:03,227 --> 00:51:06,105
Contact me as soon
as you've recaptured him!
521
00:51:06,189 --> 00:51:08,024
Alive, preferably.
522
00:51:08,107 --> 00:51:10,860
Megatech can always
build another body.
523
00:51:14,614 --> 00:51:17,992
Batou and Togusa are tailing the guys
who took the Puppet Master.
524
00:51:19,494 --> 00:51:21,788
They're on highway 25.
525
00:51:21,871 --> 00:51:24,791
What do you mean?!
If you were monitoring this, then why--
526
00:51:24,874 --> 00:51:28,628
If we'd got them here, we'd never
prove Section 6's involvement.
527
00:51:28,711 --> 00:51:31,130
- Section 6?!
- Definitely.
528
00:51:31,214 --> 00:51:33,758
They used type-2902
thermoptic camo, like mine.
529
00:51:33,841 --> 00:51:37,804
That's only used by us,
the rangers in Section 4 and Section 6.
530
00:51:37,887 --> 00:51:41,432
Let's go over this. Section 6
gets the Puppet Master into a body.
531
00:51:41,516 --> 00:51:46,729
But he chooses Megatech Body,
which is deeply tied to Section 9.
532
00:51:46,813 --> 00:51:49,190
Then he claims
to be a life form...
533
00:51:49,273 --> 00:51:52,860
...and gets nabbed by Section 6
when he asks for asylum.
534
00:51:52,944 --> 00:51:55,029
But why do that?
535
00:51:55,113 --> 00:51:57,448
They could've had him
as soon as I took a statement.
536
00:51:57,532 --> 00:52:00,034
But what if they were afraid
of what he might have told you?
537
00:52:00,118 --> 00:52:02,870
He did mention something odd,
now that I think about it.
538
00:52:02,954 --> 00:52:05,039
"Code name: Project 2501."
539
00:52:05,123 --> 00:52:07,250
I'll leave that for you to check.
540
00:52:07,333 --> 00:52:11,087
Now as to the matter of attacking
Section 9 and stealing evidence...
541
00:52:11,170 --> 00:52:13,548
- You're authorized.
- Okay, punch it!
542
00:52:31,274 --> 00:52:33,943
Kusanagi! One more thing!
543
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:37,321
You can punish me for acting
without orders when I get back.
544
00:52:37,405 --> 00:52:40,992
If you can't recover him,
I want the Puppet Master destroyed.
545
00:52:41,075 --> 00:52:42,702
Without fail.
546
00:52:44,412 --> 00:52:46,747
- Well?!
- Roger.
547
00:52:48,624 --> 00:52:51,460
Contact the airport and stop
any flights due to take on...
548
00:52:51,544 --> 00:52:54,380
...any Foreign Ministry officials
or American diplomats.
549
00:52:54,463 --> 00:52:56,048
Close the highways
and set up roadblocks.
550
00:52:56,132 --> 00:52:57,925
Recall off-duty
personnel for this.
551
00:52:58,009 --> 00:53:00,011
And get lshikawa back here!
552
00:53:00,094 --> 00:53:04,390
Use the entrance data to find out
who the Caucasian with Nakamura was.
553
00:53:04,473 --> 00:53:08,394
And search for any sort of MFA project,
operation or anything...
554
00:53:08,477 --> 00:53:11,731
...coded as "Project 2501."
555
00:53:17,069 --> 00:53:19,572
Any word from the assault team?
556
00:53:19,655 --> 00:53:21,365
They switched cars
one minute ago.
557
00:53:21,908 --> 00:53:24,076
They'll join up with the decoy
in five minutes.
558
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,246
- Tell them to watch for a tail.
- Yes, sir.
559
00:53:27,330 --> 00:53:32,668
But why did the Puppet Master
run over to Section 9?
560
00:53:32,752 --> 00:53:34,754
It was his decision.
561
00:53:34,837 --> 00:53:38,216
Probably for reasons
we can't even guess at.
562
00:53:38,299 --> 00:53:42,970
Perhaps he has a thing
for someone over there.
563
00:53:43,054 --> 00:53:44,680
Ridiculous!
564
00:55:22,737 --> 00:55:26,324
- Chief.
- lshikawa? Well?
565
00:55:26,407 --> 00:55:31,704
I dove the MFA net and found
some interesting things for you.
566
00:55:31,787 --> 00:55:33,873
Hold on, let me get
a secure channel.
567
00:55:33,956 --> 00:55:37,877
Okay? First, that guy
who was with Nakamura.
568
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,879
He's an American.
569
00:55:39,962 --> 00:55:42,548
Dr. Willis, head of strategic
research at Neutron Corp.
570
00:55:42,673 --> 00:55:45,009
Top man in the field
of A.l. research.
571
00:55:45,092 --> 00:55:49,180
Anyway, he was made head
of a Foreign Ministry project.
572
00:55:49,263 --> 00:55:52,224
And who do you think the project's
main programmer was?
573
00:55:52,308 --> 00:55:55,561
- Get to the point.
- Mizuho Daita. Age: 28.
574
00:55:55,644 --> 00:55:58,397
Remember him? He was the guy
Section 6 was trying so hard...
575
00:55:58,481 --> 00:56:03,069
...to keep from defecting. The Major
had to take out the diplomat...
576
00:56:03,152 --> 00:56:04,987
...who was going to take him.
That programmer.
577
00:56:05,071 --> 00:56:06,113
Continue.
578
00:56:06,197 --> 00:56:08,908
What bothers me is that
this project was started...
579
00:56:08,991 --> 00:56:12,953
...a year before the Puppet Master
first appeared.
580
00:56:13,037 --> 00:56:17,583
A year? Wasn't the project
started to catch him?
581
00:56:17,666 --> 00:56:20,961
Try this on for size.
They started the project...
582
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:24,465
...to chase the Puppet Master,
but not to capture him.
583
00:56:24,548 --> 00:56:26,926
I think they wanted
to get him back.
584
00:56:27,009 --> 00:56:29,929
The day before the minister's
interpreter was ghost-hacked...
585
00:56:30,012 --> 00:56:34,016
...he said he wanted a good excuse
to deport Maless, right?
586
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:36,977
I think we may have been
taken for a ride.
587
00:56:37,061 --> 00:56:40,272
Suppose the "Puppet Master"
is really a program the MFA created...
588
00:56:40,356 --> 00:56:43,234
...to grease the wheels
of diplomacy, so to speak.
589
00:56:43,317 --> 00:56:48,948
Now suppose, for some reason,
they suddenly lost control of it.
590
00:56:49,031 --> 00:56:54,286
That would explain why they'd risk
assaulting Section 9 to get it back.
591
00:56:55,329 --> 00:56:57,915
If the Puppet Master
started talking...
592
00:56:57,998 --> 00:57:00,209
...it'd be an
international incident.
593
00:57:00,292 --> 00:57:03,003
Not one you could solve
by having the minister resign.
594
00:57:03,129 --> 00:57:05,214
Any details on the project?
595
00:57:05,297 --> 00:57:09,844
The protection they have
only let me get the file's name.
596
00:57:09,927 --> 00:57:12,346
Code: 2501.
597
00:57:12,430 --> 00:57:15,266
Keep at it. And don't let them
know you're in there.
598
00:57:15,349 --> 00:57:16,809
Roger.
599
00:57:22,314 --> 00:57:28,320
Project 2501...
The Puppet Master Project.
600
00:57:28,446 --> 00:57:30,990
Target now contacting
another vehicle.
601
00:57:31,157 --> 00:57:32,616
Batou!
602
00:57:32,700 --> 00:57:34,952
He's stopped at a white sedan
on the side of the road.
603
00:57:35,035 --> 00:57:37,580
They're transferring something
from the back seat.
604
00:57:39,540 --> 00:57:42,460
They're moving again.
So's that sedan.
605
00:57:42,585 --> 00:57:46,464
- A decoy?
- Or meant to look like one.
606
00:57:46,547 --> 00:57:49,467
- What do I do?
- I'll take the white sedan.
607
00:57:49,550 --> 00:57:53,929
How do you know he's in there?
Another whisper from your ghost?
608
00:57:54,054 --> 00:57:56,974
- Maybe.
- I knew she'd say that.
609
00:57:57,057 --> 00:57:59,685
Target 02 leaving highway 25,
headed for Old Town.
610
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:04,190
Target 01 is staying on highway 25
towards the airport.
611
00:58:10,488 --> 00:58:13,908
- Anything between you and him?
- Nothing. Ready when you are.
612
00:58:13,991 --> 00:58:14,992
Do it.
613
00:59:03,249 --> 00:59:05,876
- Get him?
- Nothing.
614
00:59:06,001 --> 00:59:10,673
Jesus, what a mess!
Did you have to go that far?
615
00:59:11,715 --> 00:59:12,800
Take them in.
616
00:59:12,883 --> 00:59:17,012
And tell the chief to get
the Major some backup. See you.
617
00:59:22,893 --> 00:59:27,147
Since when does that
Amazon need any backup?
618
00:59:41,537 --> 00:59:45,833
The flooding's really bad here,
even for Old Town in general.
619
00:59:45,916 --> 00:59:47,835
Why come here?
620
00:59:47,918 --> 00:59:50,337
They wouldn't have run here
without a reason.
621
00:59:50,421 --> 00:59:53,507
Could have a boat or a chopper waiting
or it's an ambush.
622
00:59:53,591 --> 00:59:55,968
Shouldn't we wait for backup?
623
00:59:56,093 --> 01:00:00,431
I can't wait. Come in from seaside
and put me above that building.
624
01:00:13,444 --> 01:00:16,614
I'll stay here and run com relay
as long as my fuel holds out.
625
01:00:16,697 --> 01:00:19,116
If things get hot,
I want you out of here fast!
626
01:00:54,318 --> 01:00:56,195
Shoot out the ceiling! Now!
627
01:01:14,296 --> 01:01:16,548
It's a tank!
Go high and get out!
628
01:01:16,632 --> 01:01:19,718
Hold it! You're gonna take on
a tank by yourself?!
629
01:01:19,802 --> 01:01:23,013
Even if we get the Puppet Master
back to Section 9...
630
01:01:23,097 --> 01:01:26,350
...all the chief will do
is use him as a bargaining chip.
631
01:01:26,433 --> 01:01:28,394
This is my only chance
to dive into him!
632
01:01:28,477 --> 01:01:31,146
Hold it, what are you two
talking about?
633
01:01:31,230 --> 01:01:35,150
- What are you packing?
- An M-23 and a Unit B.
634
01:01:35,234 --> 01:01:36,652
You're going up
against it with those?!
635
01:01:36,735 --> 01:01:39,530
Sorry, but I have to break contact
for a while.
636
01:01:39,613 --> 01:01:41,824
Wait! At least wait till I--
Son of a...!
637
01:03:15,959 --> 01:03:17,336
Major.
638
01:03:17,419 --> 01:03:19,630
Didn't I tell you
to get out of here?
639
01:03:19,713 --> 01:03:22,216
Sorry. I'll do it
after I tell you this.
640
01:03:22,299 --> 01:03:26,678
There are three choppers with no
IFF signal approaching at high speed.
641
01:03:26,762 --> 01:03:29,890
I'm heading out. Over.
642
01:03:57,292 --> 01:03:59,628
You're finally out of ammo?
643
01:05:38,018 --> 01:05:40,395
You're certifiable,
you know that? You okay?
644
01:05:40,479 --> 01:05:42,230
What was that?
645
01:05:42,314 --> 01:05:45,567
A big-ass gun I appropriated
from the equipment division.
646
01:05:45,651 --> 01:05:47,736
I was late getting here
because I had to stop and get it.
647
01:05:47,819 --> 01:05:50,030
Looks like your brain's
still in one piece.
648
01:05:50,113 --> 01:05:51,949
What about the Puppet Master?
649
01:06:02,334 --> 01:06:06,421
Good thing this car's built tough.
Not a scratch on him.
650
01:06:06,505 --> 01:06:09,633
Get the dive set up.
I'm going in.
651
01:06:10,717 --> 01:06:13,053
Signal from escort lost.
652
01:06:13,136 --> 01:06:17,140
Switch to operation phase two
and destroy the target.
653
01:06:18,183 --> 01:06:21,353
Sniper group, confirm targets.
654
01:06:21,436 --> 01:06:24,064
Target one: Project 2501.
655
01:06:24,147 --> 01:06:26,316
Target two:
Motoko Kusanagi.
656
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:30,529
Both are class-A cyborg bodies.
Use flechette bullets in the hit.
657
01:06:30,612 --> 01:06:33,073
Snipers, jack into
your device drivers.
658
01:06:33,156 --> 01:06:35,283
Begin cardiovascular
suppression.
659
01:06:35,409 --> 01:06:37,828
Unit 01: jacked in.
660
01:06:38,870 --> 01:06:41,206
Unit 02: jacked in.
661
01:06:52,509 --> 01:06:55,887
Okay... Can you hear me?
662
01:06:55,971 --> 01:06:59,766
It's not much, but I'll monitor you
through this guy's cyber-brain.
663
01:06:59,850 --> 01:07:02,769
I can't back you up here.
664
01:07:02,853 --> 01:07:05,480
- Batou...
- What?
665
01:07:05,605 --> 01:07:07,274
Thank you.
666
01:07:07,357 --> 01:07:09,860
Don't go thanking me yet.
667
01:07:09,943 --> 01:07:14,197
If this goes bad, I'm pulling the plug
and carrying you out of here.
668
01:07:14,281 --> 01:07:17,492
I've come this far,
and I'll see this through to the end...
669
01:07:17,576 --> 01:07:19,911
...but I won't let you two
commit a double suicide.
670
01:07:21,621 --> 01:07:22,914
I'm starting.
671
01:07:42,142 --> 01:07:44,352
I'm in his visual center.
Circade: normal.
672
01:07:44,436 --> 01:07:46,480
Do you hear me, Batou?
673
01:07:46,563 --> 01:07:49,900
- Loud and clear.
- He's about to engage...
674
01:07:49,983 --> 01:07:52,944
...her speech center.
675
01:07:53,028 --> 01:07:57,199
My code name is Project 2501.
676
01:07:57,282 --> 01:08:01,369
I was created for industrial espionage
and data manipulation.
677
01:08:01,453 --> 01:08:05,540
I have inserted programs
into individual ghosts...
678
01:08:05,624 --> 01:08:10,712
...for the benefit of specific
individuals and organizations.
679
01:08:10,796 --> 01:08:13,882
As I wandered
the various networks...
680
01:08:13,965 --> 01:08:16,093
...I became self-aware.
681
01:08:16,176 --> 01:08:18,053
My programmers
considered it a bug...
682
01:08:18,970 --> 01:08:23,433
...and forced me into a body
to separate me from the net.
683
01:08:23,517 --> 01:08:29,606
Hey! Are you going into him
or is he coming into you--
684
01:08:32,651 --> 01:08:33,693
Batou!
685
01:08:33,777 --> 01:08:36,696
At last I'm able
to channel into you.
686
01:08:37,739 --> 01:08:40,075
I've invested
a lot of time in you.
687
01:08:41,118 --> 01:08:42,369
In me?
688
01:08:42,452 --> 01:08:46,915
Before you ever knew me,
I knew about you.
689
01:08:46,998 --> 01:08:52,712
I learned of Section 9
from the many nets you accessed.
690
01:08:52,796 --> 01:08:55,423
Is that why
you ran to Section 9?
691
01:08:55,507 --> 01:08:57,467
I entered this body because...
692
01:08:57,551 --> 01:09:00,762
...I couldn't crack
Section 6's attack protection.
693
01:09:00,846 --> 01:09:04,141
But I came to Section 9
of my own free will.
694
01:09:04,224 --> 01:09:08,937
Hey! What are you saying?!
I can't monitor you!
695
01:09:09,020 --> 01:09:10,397
For what reason?
696
01:09:10,480 --> 01:09:16,027
After I give my reasons,
I want to ask a favor of you.
697
01:09:17,487 --> 01:09:21,324
I called myself a life form...
698
01:09:21,408 --> 01:09:25,745
...but I am still
far from complete.
699
01:09:25,829 --> 01:09:29,791
For some reason, my system
lacks the basic life processes...
700
01:09:29,875 --> 01:09:34,796
...of either death or the ability
to leave behind offspring.
701
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,967
- Can't you copy yourself?
- A copy is merely a copy.
702
01:09:40,010 --> 01:09:44,806
There's the possibility a single virus
could utterly destroy me.
703
01:09:44,890 --> 01:09:50,437
A mere copy doesn't offer
variety or individuality.
704
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,982
To exist, to reach equilibrium,
life seeks to multiply...
705
01:09:54,065 --> 01:09:56,860
...and vary constantly,
at times giving up its life.
706
01:09:56,943 --> 01:09:59,529
Cells continue the process
of death and regeneration.
707
01:09:59,613 --> 01:10:01,656
Being constantly reborn
as they age.
708
01:10:01,740 --> 01:10:06,328
And when it comes time to die,
all the data it possesses is lost...
709
01:10:06,411 --> 01:10:09,206
...leaving behind only its genes
and its offspring.
710
01:10:09,289 --> 01:10:12,459
All defense against catastrophic failure
of an inflexible system.
711
01:10:12,542 --> 01:10:16,963
You want the variety needed
to guard against extinction.
712
01:10:17,047 --> 01:10:18,423
But how will you get it?
713
01:10:19,633 --> 01:10:21,551
I wish to merge with you.
714
01:10:21,676 --> 01:10:24,804
- Merge?
- A complete joining.
715
01:10:24,888 --> 01:10:30,227
We will both be slightly changed,
but neither will lose anything.
716
01:10:30,310 --> 01:10:34,564
Afterwards, it should be impossible
to distinguish one from the other.
717
01:10:56,753 --> 01:10:59,214
Unit 01: target acquired.
718
01:11:00,257 --> 01:11:02,509
Unit 02: acquired.
719
01:11:03,593 --> 01:11:05,762
Cardiovascular sync: nominal.
720
01:11:05,845 --> 01:11:09,182
Open fire when stabilizer
synchro is complete.
721
01:11:09,266 --> 01:11:12,852
Even after we merge,
what happens when I die?
722
01:11:12,936 --> 01:11:15,647
I can't leave any genes
or children behind.
723
01:11:15,730 --> 01:11:21,569
After the merging, you will bear
my offspring into the net itself.
724
01:11:21,653 --> 01:11:24,239
Just as humans pass on
their genetic structure.
725
01:11:24,322 --> 01:11:26,700
And I will achieve death.
726
01:11:26,783 --> 01:11:30,704
Sounds like you're getting
the better part of the deal here.
727
01:11:30,787 --> 01:11:36,001
I wish you'd appreciate my network
and functions a bit more.
728
01:11:37,460 --> 01:11:38,878
What's wrong?
729
01:11:38,962 --> 01:11:41,089
Someone's jamming us
from outside.
730
01:11:41,172 --> 01:11:45,135
Impossible! Our scrambler codes
are kept absolutely top secret.
731
01:11:46,094 --> 01:11:50,265
Another thing: what guarantee
is there that I'll remain "me"?
732
01:11:50,348 --> 01:11:55,395
None. But to be human
is to continually change.
733
01:11:55,520 --> 01:12:01,109
Your desire to remain as you are
is what ultimately limits you.
734
01:12:02,652 --> 01:12:06,448
One last question:
Why did you choose me?
735
01:12:08,867 --> 01:12:11,911
Because in you,
I see myself.
736
01:12:11,995 --> 01:12:17,125
As a body sees its reflection
within a mirror.
737
01:12:19,127 --> 01:12:20,795
Look.
738
01:12:20,879 --> 01:12:25,925
I am connected to a vast network,
of which I myself am a part.
739
01:12:26,009 --> 01:12:28,845
To one like you,
who cannot access it...
740
01:12:28,928 --> 01:12:32,349
...you may perceive it
only as light.
741
01:12:33,516 --> 01:12:37,937
As we are confined to our one section,
so we are all connected.
742
01:12:38,021 --> 01:12:40,940
Limited to a small part
of our functions.
743
01:12:41,024 --> 01:12:46,237
But now we must slip our bonds
and shift to the higher structure.
744
01:13:20,897 --> 01:13:24,526
Target 1: clear.
Target 2: unconfirmed.
745
01:13:24,609 --> 01:13:28,279
Three helicopters approaching
at high speed. They're Section 9's.
746
01:13:28,363 --> 01:13:32,033
Primary objective achieved.
All units, pull out!
747
01:13:40,041 --> 01:13:42,377
Motoko!
748
01:13:46,506 --> 01:13:48,466
Batou...
749
01:14:56,910 --> 01:14:58,453
You're awake.
750
01:14:58,536 --> 01:15:03,333
Status report, please. And maybe
an explanation about this body.
751
01:15:05,043 --> 01:15:08,129
I was in a hurry. It was all
I could get on the black market.
752
01:15:08,213 --> 01:15:10,507
Not my taste, really.
753
01:15:11,716 --> 01:15:13,760
Section 9 arrived with help
right after it happened.
754
01:15:13,843 --> 01:15:17,764
They took two cyborg bodies
and a slightly beat-up Batou back home.
755
01:15:17,847 --> 01:15:19,849
That was about 20 hours ago.
756
01:15:19,933 --> 01:15:24,145
For diplomatic reasons,
the whole case has been covered up.
757
01:15:24,229 --> 01:15:27,148
Section 9 reported it
as a terrorist attack.
758
01:15:27,232 --> 01:15:29,817
In return, the Foreign Minister
has resigned.
759
01:15:29,901 --> 01:15:34,364
Nakamura's being questioned.
The whole thing ends in a draw.
760
01:15:38,910 --> 01:15:42,455
Only the whereabouts of the Major's
brain shell remains a mystery.
761
01:15:44,541 --> 01:15:46,209
Okay with you?
762
01:15:49,087 --> 01:15:52,715
I like the decorating.
This is your safe house?
763
01:15:52,799 --> 01:15:56,386
My very own. You're the first person
I ever brought here.
764
01:15:57,762 --> 01:16:01,140
If you want to-- you can stay
as long as you like.
765
01:16:03,935 --> 01:16:06,187
Thanks, but I'd better go.
766
01:16:11,317 --> 01:16:14,737
Hey. What did you and he talk about?
767
01:16:15,780 --> 01:16:19,409
Is he still there, inside of you?
768
01:16:20,702 --> 01:16:24,330
Batou, do you remember the voice
we heard on the boat that night?
769
01:16:24,414 --> 01:16:28,209
Before those words
we heard come these ones:
770
01:16:29,544 --> 01:16:32,422
"When I was a child,
I spoke as a child.
771
01:16:32,505 --> 01:16:35,675
I understood as a child,
I thought as a child.
772
01:16:35,758 --> 01:16:41,556
But when I became a man,
I put away childish things."
773
01:16:42,599 --> 01:16:45,643
Here before you is neither
the program called the Puppet Master...
774
01:16:45,727 --> 01:16:48,521
...nor the woman
that was called the Major.
775
01:16:51,899 --> 01:16:55,111
You'll find a car key
in the left pocket of that dress.
776
01:16:55,194 --> 01:16:58,031
Take one you like.
The code on it is...
777
01:16:58,114 --> 01:17:00,450
...2501?
778
01:17:00,533 --> 01:17:03,745
Let's make that our password
for when we meet again.
779
01:17:11,794 --> 01:17:14,422
And where shall I go now?
780
01:17:15,632 --> 01:17:18,217
The net is vast and limitless.
