Original subtitles

Mechanical friends, Amicus Robots.

A general name for androids.

Amicus are imprinted with the Laws of Respect.

The starlight I've been searching for

Is plucked away before my eyes

The ending's shadow was surely watching

From the depths of our dreams all along

Thinking about what true sadness is

As we hide our empty hearts

Our vision gets blurred by the light

Of the fireworks bursting inside us

Again and again

As if to take it all away

An aimless branch reaches out

Endlessly bringing to light

The stagnant pain

In the world we trample

Facing each other here, losing it all

As everything becomes nothing

My heart dances in the air

The root node correlating

They fill up and turn into light

Just like this

Even our destination disappears

Only to heal endlessly

Our regrets burning

A quiet hole

Within us

Abaev is the father of the university student

who was the Nightmare's first victim,

and the leader of the Bereaved Family Association

for The Nightmare of Saint Petersburg.

It is unclear why he took Sozon's digital clone,

but it may be related to the phone calls.

Inspector Totoki,

is there a possibility it was something other than the digital clone?

You wouldn't be able to hold a conversation like you did

if it was a deepfake.

The digital clone theory seems to be the most promising.

By the way, Inspector, I heard from Cyber-inspection Assistant Lucraft

that you asked him to examine the body of the murdered Amicus?

The inspector did nothing wrong.

I did it of my own accord.

The copycat used Sozon's voice.

I could not stand by and do nothing.

Under normal circumstances,

I wouldn't permit you to investigate a case that involves your family.

But you are able to conduct yourself appropriately due to the Laws of Respect.

Inspector Napolov, wouldn't you need the help of the detective

who investigated the original case if this is a copycat killer?

I'll let you borrow Cyber-inspection Assistant Lucraft.

Hieda, you too.

I can't send an Amicus alone to another agency.

What about the special investigation unit?

I'll talk to Inspector Fokine.

But...

I am very grateful.

Thank you, Chief.

Echika, I'm sorry.

I know I am asking a lot from you.

Cyber-inspection Assistant, I won't say anything about your calculations.

It's just...

Are you really okay with this?

I assure you I am fine with it.

And this was not calculated.

I simply remembered Nicolai requested information from Derevo.

I know this is an important case to you.

Thank you.

They said Inspector Napolov went to Abaev's home?

Abaev was asked to come to police headquarters for questioning,

but he did not make his appointment.

It is a bit suspicious.

They have already begun taking Elena's statement.

Okay. Let's go meet up with him.

Harold.

Nicolai.

I see you were here.

I came with Mom.

Long time no see, Nicolai.

Cyber-Inspector Hieda, thank you for your help in London.

You look good, Harold.

Detective Lyutov.

It has been a while.

You are Cyber-Inspector Hieda?

I'm sorry to ask you this when we just met,

but can you Brain Dive into Elena?

We received her written consent.

She says she doesn't remember anything.

Probably because she recently increased her medication.

We're sure she ordered the digital clone,

but we don't know how involved she is with this case.

Initiating Dive.

How are you feeling, Elena?

I feel great today.

I visited the redevelopment district a few days ago.

It's a secret from Nicolai.

Did you visit Derevo?

I thought I couldn't stay like this forever, so I ordered a digital clone.

I used to think making something like that would be making a mockery of Sozon,

but I can't be a burden to Nicolai anymore.

Wouldn't something change if I could talk to Sozon one more time?

What a great step forward.

Making even a little bit of progress is very important.

But I still think about it every night.

I understand.

My heart breaks every time I think about my daughter's last moments.

If only they could find the killer.

But the police aren't doing anything.

Can you go cancel the digital clone order for me?

Elena.

Once I thought about it, I realized how stupid it was.

DIGITAL CLONE ORDER CANCELLATION

That paper there is my power of attorney.

I already signed it, so can you go cancel it for me?

Sure.

THE NAME OF THE SIGNATORY ELENA ALEXAVNA TCHERNOVA

Elena, don't worry about a thing and rest comfortably.

I can't be resting here comfortably.

Not while he died in agony, you know?

I believe Sozon would want you to rest well too.

Even though the killer is still out there...

How was it?

Elena was not involved in the murder.

In fact, she wanted to cancel her digital clone order.

There's a strong possibility

Abaev used the power of attorney to get the digital clone.

Of course, that is not enough evidence to suspect him as the copycat killer.

But that's enough for us to get a search warrant for his home.

Why is that thing here?

What's happening?

It's okay, Elena.

- Please calm down. - Stop that!

You looked into my memories!

I deeply apologize.

I did not mean to make you uncomfortable.

Did you know about this, Nicolai?

How could you trick me?

Mom. Relax.

Looks like the sedative didn't work.

I'm so sorry about what happened.

She's always like that.

Always?

She believes Harold could have saved my brother from the killer.

Please don't misunderstand.

I'm grateful to you, Harold,

for being with him during his final moments.

Inspector Napolov sent a message.

We'll enter Abaev's home once we have the warrant,

so he wants Cyber-Inspector Hieda and Cyber-inspection Assistant Lucraft

to be there too.

As you can see, his Your Forma was removed.

It is the same MO as the Nightmare of Petersburg.

FINGERPRINT SCAN IN PROGRESS

The fingerprint print matches with the one from the Amicus murder.

The circulation fluid is also consistent with the victim's.

POLICE

Time of death was 2:00 a.m.

Was it?

"Genuine." The antonym of "counterfeit."

It's a word used to describe original artwork.

But they wrote it with their nondominant hand

to avoid identifying themselves by their handwriting.

Most likely with an artist paintbrush.

The killer may have a strong interest in the arts.

And there is this.

Sozon.

Hey. Nice to meet you.

Don't get worked up.

It's just a digital clone.

Yes.

This is evidence he impersonated Sozon to make those calls to the police.

Looks like the copycat killer was Abaev.

And his murder is clearly the Nightmare's retaliation.

But information that the police were suspecting Abaev was never released.

How did the killer know he was the copycat?

There are no signs of a forced entry.

If we assume the killer is someone Abaev is acquainted with,

then your question is answered.

But didn't the killer think if they murdered him,

we would find out the killer is someone Abaev knows?

The killer most likely could not contain their rage towards the copycat killing.

Unlike the previous murders, this one was very passionate.

They had never written a message with the victim's blood before.

If the Nightmare really did it...

There is no "if." It was the Nightmare.

I am certain of this.

If Abaev's killer is really the Nightmare of Petersburg...

You should be taken off this case.

Why?

You can ask Chief Totoki

and Inspector Napolov to withdraw the request for support.

With this new development, my assistance will be even more needed.

You think so?

The investigation will make progress even without you.

According to what reason?

Anyway, I'm against your involvement.

Even if Inspector Napolov wants you on this case.

Echika.

You know how long and how much I have been waiting for this.

There's a chance you won't get any results and will only be left with bad memories.

I am perfectly fine with that.

How can you be sure?

I know myself very well.

No, you don't.

Why are you being so stubborn?

I'm not.

Echika.

Are you this worried about me because of what I said in the past?

What do you mean?

I spoke of my anger towards the killer when we first met.

I said if Sozon's killer was ever caught,

I wanted to punish them with my own hands.

Please rest assured.

That was simply a figure of speech.

An Amicus Robot bound by the Laws of Respect

can never bring harm to a human,

even if they are an RF Model.

I only wished to express my deep regret for not being able to save Sozon.

I know you can't...

hurt humans.

I'm just worried about you getting hurt.

I will be hurt.

If I am not allowed to join the investigation,

I will be extremely hurt.

No.

I can't agree to it.

Is that so?

They'll be processing the scene for a while.

You can go back first.

I will stay.

I also have a request, Inspector.

It seems Cyber-Inspector Hieda is in shock from what she saw at the crime scene.

If it is not too much trouble,

can you temporarily remove her from the investigation?

I know the Next-generation AI's emotion engine is expressive,

but that was too much.

But I guess he's examining the crime scene to his heart's content right now.

Inspector.

I'm personally very worried about Cyber-inspection Assistant Lucraft.

I know how you feel.

I'm not asking Harold to overdo it.

But such a good opportunity as this won't come again.

I know what you're worried about,

but please understand him.

I know.

The current temperature is four degrees.

A thick sweater is recommended.

Echika?

Good mor... Whoa!

Those are serious dark circles.

Did you get any sleep?

It's because of the real Nightmare of Petersburg, isn't it?

Does it look like you'll find the killer?

It's confidential.

Well, it's not concrete, but we have an idea of who to look for.

Then I'm sure the case will be solved soon.

Come back to the special investigation unit soon.

I'll be waiting.

If you want to talk to Cyber-inspection Assistant Lucraft,

couldn't you just call him?

That's not what I mean!

How's the confiscation of Tosti programs going?

We didn't find anything.

I've been helping too, but nothing's working out.

I'm heading to the academy, so I'll see you later.

Say hi to Harold for me.

Good luck with your investigation.

When did he disappear?

Last night.

He left in the middle of the night.

All right.

I will quickly make my way there as well.

Good morning.

Did something happen?

He has been missing since last night.

It's Nicolai.

If you're meeting with Inspector Napolov, then I'm coming with you.

I am sure I made a request to remove you from the investigation.

I'm going with you.

I promise...

I'll stay out of your way.

We still can't say for sure

that his disappearance is related to the Nightmare of Petersburg,

but his car was abandoned at the shores of a lake 15 minutes from here.

We're searching the lake and its surrounding area now.

What of his GPS data from his Your Forma?

It's been cut off.

We can assume he has an isolation unit on.

Which means he was most likely kidnapped.

Why did you bring that thing here?

Harold will be a great help to our investigation.

We also don't want what happened to Sozon to happen to Nicolai.

Please try to remain calm.

You're going to kill Nicolai next?

Get out! You piece of junk!

Elena.

Don't you dare touch me!

I will find Nicolai.

Don't talk to me.

I will not walk that same path.

No matter what you say, it won't change the fact that you let Sozon die!

But I can still bring Nicolai back!

My apologies.

Excuse me.

Did Nicolai say anything before he left?

No.

But Nicolai isn't someone who would go out in the middle of the night to have fun.

It had to have been something important.

Please. You have to find him.

If I lose him too, I...

Of course.

We'll do everything we can.

Though I said that to Elena, we have no proof Nicolai is still alive.

We might even find his body tomorrow.

Don't start losing hope now.

I'll help and there's Inspector Napolov and the police.

We just need to do everything we can.

What kind words.

I'm just saying the truth.

Cyber-inspection Assistant, you go search the house.

There might be a clue.

Give me the keys.

I'll go to the lake.

We don't have much time.

All right.

I'm sorry I pushed you away, Echika.

Please be sure to let me know if you find anything.

Of course.

I'll call you later.

But...

I don't want you anywhere near the killer.

But who can call Nicolai out without raising his suspicions?

It must be someone acquainted with both Nicolai and Abaev.

Who could that...

You have a call from a public phone.

Give me a second.

Echika? I'm glad you picked up.

Bigga?

I'm in a designated dead zone right now.

Did you skip out on your training?

I might have found something related to the Nightmare.

What do you mean?

I'll explain later.

I want you to take a look at it with me. Can you come see me?

Okay.

I'll get Inspector Napolov's approval first.

I already did.

I called Harold first.

He talked to the inspector about it and said he'll send Echika.

You did great arranging everything.

Where should I meet you?

The location is...

Send a message to Harold.

I might be a little late. I'll contact you again.

Message sent.

"I might be a little late.

I'll contact you again."

Cyber-Inspector Hieda's GPS signal was cut off approximately eight hours ago

at a parking lot in Neva District.

That was soon after she sent this message.

Please drive quickly.

I would not have brought her with me if I thought she could become a target.

I can't believe the killer is going after another law enforcement agent.

Echika.

In this convenient, cutting-edge era

I can reply to "tell me" in seconds

I disappear all the spam and haters

With one touch

But I feel a strange rhythm

When I'm with you

Am I a crazy living doll?

Are you a mystery?

My armor melts like snow

At the first sign of spring

What is the taste born

From my yearning processor?

Sweet? Bitter? Something else? I'm in an abnormal state

I'm out of control! (Can't stop)

Lu-di-di-dite!

I want to destroy it all!

I don't know how to wipe out

The virus corroding my heart

I miss you, it hurts, fly away!

Hit it with a 1, 2, 3, short circuit

I'm numb, numb, numb, numb

Giddy, giddy up, giddy, giddy up

Lu-di-di-dite!

Every time we touch, the algorithm changes

"That's all humanization," they say

But just turn it into a lie

And dance it away

Don't undo it all

It's fine even if it was The century's greatest error

Lyla...

Finally, I can breathe
