1
00:00:06,714 --> 00:00:11,135
Passengers and crew have been evacuated
according to the counter-terrorism manual.

2
00:00:11,219 --> 00:00:15,014
All arriving and departing flights are
in a holding pattern or waiting for the apron.

3
00:00:15,097 --> 00:00:19,726
Only divert those aircraft that are expected
to get to other airports without fuel.

4
00:00:20,311 --> 00:00:25,232
305 calls 102. Public Safety Section 9
has arrived. Give all the help they need.

5
00:00:25,316 --> 00:00:30,571
This is priority one. Full authority for this incident
has been transferred to them.

6
00:00:30,696 --> 00:00:32,239
Hey, my people did that
victims!

7
00:00:32,323 --> 00:00:35,451
'Agreement' or no, that's better
a damn good reason for us to...

8
00:00:35,576 --> 00:00:39,079
Keep this line clear. It's impossible to say
if there is a back hack on it.

9
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:43,125
Besides, what's going on here?
is way out of our league.

10
00:00:43,584 --> 00:00:45,168
Found him.

11
00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:09,277
Immigration gates
Currently closed

12
00:01:31,132 --> 00:01:35,469
From what we've been told, initial reports say
that the suspect voluntarily submitted to the interrogation.

13
00:01:36,095 --> 00:01:39,556
When we explained that he would be transferred
taken into custody by public security,

14
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,309
He almost seemed
am happy with it.

15
00:01:42,476 --> 00:01:43,643
Cheerful?

16
00:01:43,811 --> 00:01:44,978
Yes...

17
00:01:45,104 --> 00:01:46,647
That doesn't matter
makes a lot of sense.

18
00:01:47,398 --> 00:01:52,027
So that's not the Big Man
are you going to meet us?

19
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:55,156
He said he would stick with it
are "I only work on cases I choose...

20
00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:57,991
...based on what my gut tells me' policy
and also serve this one.

21
00:01:58,367 --> 00:02:01,495
Yet the fact is that we were only capable of it
to connect the dots in this case...

22
00:02:01,579 --> 00:02:04,623
...because Batou stuck his nose
where it didn't belong.

23
00:02:05,499 --> 00:02:08,502
Paz and Borma, take the two newbies with you
and enter through the north gate.

24
00:02:09,003 --> 00:02:10,170
We're working on it.

25
00:02:12,673 --> 00:02:14,341
The two of us take
the frontal approach.

26
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:15,801
Understood.

27
00:02:31,108 --> 00:02:33,401
You know,
You've changed too, boss.

28
00:02:33,527 --> 00:02:35,779
I can't believe you've outgrown it
that Mateba fixation of yours.

29
00:02:35,863 --> 00:02:37,990
Nobody said
I outgrew it.

30
00:02:57,718 --> 00:03:00,971
This Ka Gael guy is supposed to
to be 100% natural, right?

31
00:03:01,055 --> 00:03:01,847
Yes.

32
00:03:02,556 --> 00:03:04,099
Then explain that.

33
00:03:04,225 --> 00:03:06,602
What does it look like?
It is an unexpected development.

34
00:03:07,186 --> 00:03:10,564
So now there's an opportunity
that he is armed?

35
00:03:10,731 --> 00:03:12,399
Even if he is,
it's only 9mm.

36
00:03:12,525 --> 00:03:13,943
This is just peach...

37
00:03:24,078 --> 00:03:27,039
Colonel Ka Gael!
We are public safety!

38
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:33,671
We are willing to consider giving you permission
safe passage out of the country, as you demanded.

39
00:03:34,046 --> 00:03:37,382
Start by releasing your hostage.
Then we can talk.

40
00:03:47,935 --> 00:03:49,269
Ka Gael!

41
00:03:53,733 --> 00:03:55,234
Are you listening?

42
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,284
Ka Gael!

43
00:04:05,953 --> 00:04:07,663
Drop your weapon!

44
00:04:12,126 --> 00:04:16,088
Don't do anything, people.
Come on, give me the gun.

45
00:04:18,632 --> 00:04:19,674
The enemy cannot be admitted
to live under the same sky

46
00:04:19,675 --> 00:04:21,802
The enemy is not allowed to live under the same heaven
Togusa, it looks like he's high on a military reflex enhancer.

47
00:04:21,802 --> 00:04:21,823
Togusa, it looks like he's high
a reflex amplifier for military use.

48
00:04:22,803 --> 00:04:24,471
Togusa, it looks like he's high
a reflex amplifier for military use.

49
00:04:24,597 --> 00:04:25,806
Understood.

50
00:04:25,931 --> 00:04:27,223
Ka Gael!

51
00:04:30,352 --> 00:04:34,189
The puppeteer is coming!
I don't want to die!

52
00:04:35,191 --> 00:04:37,484
If you don't want to die,
Hurry up and drop the piece!

53
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:39,445
What have you done?
tell me?

54
00:04:41,322 --> 00:04:43,407
You're not going to make it
a public spectacle beyond me!

55
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:44,241
Don't!

56
00:04:48,621 --> 00:04:51,332
Shit! Well damn
did he do that?!

57
00:04:58,214 --> 00:05:00,341
The puppeteer, huh?

58
00:05:01,675 --> 00:05:03,301
Not a bad name
totally...

59
00:06:58,417 --> 00:06:59,418
Prime Minister Kayabuki.

60
00:07:00,294 --> 00:07:05,966
Special agents tattooed with 'true believer'
to show their loyalty to General Ka Rum...

61
00:07:06,050 --> 00:07:08,802
...committed suicide
one by one here in Japan.

62
00:07:08,886 --> 00:07:13,348
And a few moments ago, Colonel Ka Gael,
his eldest son also committed suicide.

63
00:07:13,807 --> 00:07:18,311
You continue to insist that interrogation is not necessary
despite these incidents the general?

64
00:07:18,812 --> 00:07:23,233
Some reports say Colonel Ka has died
was the result of a failed arrest attempt.

65
00:07:23,651 --> 00:07:28,781
Even if we assume they are random terrorist acts
are planned by Seok Republic's holdouts,

66
00:07:28,864 --> 00:07:34,828
It's hard for me to imagine General Ka being that
involved in the scheme while under house arrest.

67
00:07:36,747 --> 00:07:40,625
Do your utmost to avoid refueling
the actions of the opposition faction...

68
00:07:40,709 --> 00:07:44,587
...that accompanied my entry into force
of the Naturalization Policy for Refugees.

69
00:07:44,672 --> 00:07:49,718
I had the impression that something like that worked
falls under the jurisdiction of Public Safety.

70
00:07:50,678 --> 00:07:52,346
Understood, ma'am.

71
00:07:53,013 --> 00:07:57,017
ISHIKAWA. Send me the files
from the Ka Gael debriefing.

72
00:07:57,184 --> 00:07:58,602
Come straight up.

73
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,687
We're moving!

74
00:08:01,146 --> 00:08:04,649
Is this wise, sir? I don't believe it
she has given you permission to do so.

75
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:13,075
If no one finds out I opened Pandora's Box,
I didn't break my word to her.

76
00:08:26,255 --> 00:08:30,300
7072. Did the scene foresee you?
with new material data?

77
00:08:30,384 --> 00:08:32,219
No sir, I didn't do that
found something else.

78
00:08:32,302 --> 00:08:35,555
Call in the supervisor.
There is some old-

79
00:08:35,889 --> 00:08:36,764
Batou.

80
00:08:38,308 --> 00:08:40,310
Are you listening
for me, Batou?

81
00:08:41,311 --> 00:08:43,313
Yes, I'm listening.

82
00:08:43,647 --> 00:08:45,565
Where are you?

83
00:08:48,944 --> 00:08:51,447
True believer We have found the
body of a 13th tattooed man.

84
00:08:51,447 --> 00:08:51,468
We found the body of
a 13th tattooed man.

85
00:08:53,407 --> 00:08:55,659
- Is this another suicide?
- Yes.

86
00:08:56,910 --> 00:09:02,790
This place is a lot like our own safe houses.
It was probably one of their hiding places.

87
00:09:02,916 --> 00:09:07,879
Let the prefectural police handle this. Grab one
from your subordinates and go to this location.

88
00:09:08,756 --> 00:09:11,425
It's a secret hideout for Ka Gael
told us about this in his debriefing.

89
00:09:11,550 --> 00:09:17,764
You are sure that such a regular job exists
Is it no longer up Togusa's alley?

90
00:09:17,848 --> 00:09:21,393
Togusa is coming with me
to the Dungeon.

91
00:09:22,102 --> 00:09:22,936
Ah, I follow you.

92
00:09:30,152 --> 00:09:31,153
Togusa.

93
00:09:32,237 --> 00:09:35,990
How long has it been since the Major
resigned from section 97

94
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:39,286
It's coming
I think for two years now.

95
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:41,789
So long...

96
00:09:42,623 --> 00:09:46,084
I'm sorry about what happened
with Ka Gael.

97
00:09:46,168 --> 00:09:47,961
There was nothing
you could have done it.

98
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:54,051
This is a crucial issue, and may prove to be so
Prime Minister Kayabuki's Achilles heel.

99
00:09:54,134 --> 00:09:58,221
Her intention is probably to keep a lid on the door
things she doesn't want to see right now.

100
00:09:58,931 --> 00:10:02,976
Still, Kayabuki was afraid of the other countries
during the six-party talks...

101
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:06,313
...look too closely at the real motivation
behind the Naturalization Policy for refugees.

102
00:10:06,438 --> 00:10:11,651
This whole damn mess has started
because she was forced to take care of Ka Rum!

103
00:10:11,985 --> 00:10:16,197
That's because General Ka chose before
Japan as the country where he would seek asylum,

104
00:10:16,323 --> 00:10:19,534
He said he would implement it
acts of terrorism in retaliation.

105
00:10:19,660 --> 00:10:24,164
“At the time of my death,
I will visit terror all over the world."

106
00:10:24,248 --> 00:10:28,377
You mean that statement of retaliation that was
in the speech he gave when Seok fell, huh?

107
00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:33,965
Now that we've learned about it, it's our job
to do something about it, right?

108
00:10:34,258 --> 00:10:39,596
It is unclear how he gives orders from an island
that is closed off from the outside world,

109
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:44,518
But if we take Ka Rum into custody ourselves,
we need to be able to get a feel for the overall plan.

110
00:10:44,601 --> 00:10:48,855
We will also learn how far we have come
this terrorist plot is now.

111
00:10:50,357 --> 00:10:52,859
Chief. We just got word
of the Coast Guard...

112
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:56,196
...that they have opened up
the airspace above the island.

113
00:10:56,446 --> 00:10:59,490
Good. Thank them for me
and take us down at once.

114
00:10:59,950 --> 00:11:01,910
Make sure you check the details
of our escape plan!

115
00:11:02,035 --> 00:11:03,369
Understood!

116
00:11:46,205 --> 00:11:49,791
No firearms or knives detected!
Clearly!

117
00:11:59,218 --> 00:12:02,971
Pro to. Turn the power back on
and open the blinds.

118
00:12:03,096 --> 00:12:04,430
Roger.

119
00:12:12,564 --> 00:12:13,940
What's going on?

120
00:12:15,442 --> 00:12:16,860
Chief...

121
00:12:21,448 --> 00:12:23,992
It looks like he pulled
them out themselves.

122
00:12:27,204 --> 00:12:28,371
This is bad news...

123
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:34,419
If he also committed suicide,
their plan could already be in motion.

124
00:12:37,631 --> 00:12:38,298
What is that?

125
00:12:38,382 --> 00:12:41,635
This? It's a terminal that links
to the care network.

126
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,681
Basically, it is used to exchange that of a patient
medical data at all medical facilities.

127
00:12:46,807 --> 00:12:52,813
It's like those rumors about Ka Rum
seriously ill before fleeing his country were true.

128
00:12:53,981 --> 00:12:57,651
The government has no idea he's dead.
even though he was addicted to it?

129
00:12:57,734 --> 00:12:58,985
Hm? Bingo!

130
00:12:59,111 --> 00:13:01,947
He went through a back door
in the system!

131
00:13:02,030 --> 00:13:04,699
I think there was more to the good general
than it seems at first glance.

132
00:13:04,825 --> 00:13:10,205
Looks like this. The communication log is displayed
that he had contact with his people.

133
00:13:10,872 --> 00:13:14,166
We need to send this back to headquarters
for a thorough investigation,

134
00:13:14,293 --> 00:13:18,922
But they certainly seemed to be up to it
a terrorist attack using a micromachine virus.

135
00:13:19,172 --> 00:13:21,340
What do you mean,
were planning?

136
00:13:21,466 --> 00:13:25,344
Then his agents started
killing themselves one by one,

137
00:13:25,429 --> 00:13:30,183
He spoke to Ka Gael about whether they would do so
must cancel the plan for the time being.

138
00:13:30,309 --> 00:13:35,188
What do you mean? You say
that the suicides weren't meant to be the plot's "go" code?

139
00:13:35,272 --> 00:13:36,898
Don't know.

140
00:13:37,024 --> 00:13:41,403
But what really worries me is that it was
a program that was implanted here from outside...

141
00:13:41,528 --> 00:13:43,863
...designed to make it look
Ka Rum was still alive.

142
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:48,910
The government probably still hasn't done that
realized this man is dead.

143
00:13:49,202 --> 00:13:52,079
So a murder has been committed
look like suicide?

144
00:13:52,205 --> 00:13:56,709
Yes. Dedicated by someone who doesn't
wants the government to know that Ka Rum is dead.

145
00:13:56,835 --> 00:13:57,836
That, or...

146
00:13:59,546 --> 00:14:02,215
What about the micromachine virus?

147
00:14:02,341 --> 00:14:06,470
Looks like it's been delivered
that Ma Shaba man's hospital.

148
00:14:06,553 --> 00:14:10,390
Assuming Batou doesn't skip school,
Maybe he can get it back for us.

149
00:14:12,434 --> 00:14:13,726
Togusa!

150
00:14:20,901 --> 00:14:22,986
Well damn
is this?

151
00:14:25,655 --> 00:14:27,406
Puppeteer?

152
00:14:27,991 --> 00:14:34,080
Azuma, Ka Gael didn't say anything
about a puppeteer just before he died?

153
00:14:34,456 --> 00:14:36,416
You know, I think he did...

154
00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:40,586
The keyword "puppeteer" appears
also in this logbook.

155
00:14:40,712 --> 00:14:43,381
Looks like it's the code name
for one of his men.

156
00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:46,801
Looks like we have to make an arrest
Ma Shaba as soon as possible.

157
00:14:46,927 --> 00:14:51,097
Right. Once you make a dupe of it
the full log, go to Batou.

158
00:14:51,181 --> 00:14:54,184
It is imperative that we establish this
the full scope of this plot.

159
00:14:54,267 --> 00:14:55,851
What should we do?
with the stiff one?

160
00:14:55,936 --> 00:15:01,775
Please leave everything as we found it.
I hate to do it, but we've never been here.

161
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:03,443
Understood.

162
00:15:44,484 --> 00:15:46,235
A hospital?

163
00:15:53,326 --> 00:15:56,370
That car stands out
like a sore thumb here...

164
00:16:44,753 --> 00:16:47,172
This security system is set
reminds me a bit of-

165
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:54,387
You go around
from outside!

166
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:55,805
Roger.

167
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:12,697
Well damn it?

168
00:17:19,371 --> 00:17:21,831
You can't hack my cyber brain
when I'm here!

169
00:17:21,915 --> 00:17:24,000
Die, puppeteer!

170
00:17:43,144 --> 00:17:44,728
Been there, huh?

171
00:17:59,619 --> 00:18:00,911
Batou?

172
00:18:05,166 --> 00:18:06,458
That looked like-

173
00:18:11,131 --> 00:18:13,299
Open

174
00:18:35,030 --> 00:18:36,114
Be clear!

175
00:18:50,545 --> 00:18:52,046
You stupid ass!

176
00:18:55,216 --> 00:18:57,509
I'll come back for you later.
Playing dead.

177
00:18:57,594 --> 00:18:58,595
Roger.

178
00:19:03,516 --> 00:19:04,683
Hold it!

179
00:19:14,361 --> 00:19:15,695
Is that you, Major?

180
00:19:16,237 --> 00:19:20,908
It's been a long time, Batou.
So, what brings you to this part of the city?

181
00:19:21,201 --> 00:19:25,872
I knew it was you...
I should ask you the same thing.

182
00:19:26,289 --> 00:19:30,293
Carrying out a study selected based on this
of personal deduction, you could say.

183
00:19:35,715 --> 00:19:36,966
Here it comes!

184
00:19:45,183 --> 00:19:46,142
Just a moment.

185
00:19:52,524 --> 00:19:53,858
Well damn it?

186
00:19:53,942 --> 00:19:55,652
Hold this
for me.

187
00:19:58,738 --> 00:19:59,530
Hi!

188
00:20:30,103 --> 00:20:32,688
Hey, wait a minute...
Isn't that Ma Shaba?

189
00:20:33,523 --> 00:20:35,107
I'm surprised you know
who he is.

190
00:20:35,233 --> 00:20:39,028
What do you mean by "surprised"?
What the hell are you planning to do?

191
00:20:39,529 --> 00:20:42,114
Come on,
give that back.

192
00:20:42,949 --> 00:20:43,616
Hi!

193
00:20:56,171 --> 00:20:59,299
Has your taste
turned into cars?

194
00:21:01,634 --> 00:21:03,177
When did she
wipe my-

195
00:21:03,803 --> 00:21:05,846
Yet this is not the case
completely too shabby.

196
00:21:07,974 --> 00:21:11,185
Batou, I guess that's the reason
you are here because...

197
00:21:11,311 --> 00:21:15,023
...you follow a clue
about that series of suicides of tattooed men.

198
00:21:15,690 --> 00:21:18,025
But let me give it to you
a friendly warning.

199
00:21:18,151 --> 00:21:20,361
Stay away from the Solid State.

200
00:21:20,487 --> 00:21:23,198
Otherwise you will end up committing suicide
just like they did.

201
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,408
- Hey, wait a minute...
- You can search for your car yourself.

202
00:21:38,755 --> 00:21:42,091
Didn't I tell you to take it with you?
one of your men?!

203
00:21:44,260 --> 00:21:47,346
I know, that's why I brought it
this piece of junk.

204
00:21:50,183 --> 00:21:53,352
We got here too late.
Ma Shaba is also dead.

205
00:21:53,436 --> 00:21:54,395
Cause of death?

206
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:57,565
Neck trauma due to
consequences during flight.

207
00:21:57,690 --> 00:22:00,693
Looks like Ma Shaba
wasn't the puppeteer.

208
00:22:02,278 --> 00:22:05,572
Batou, why the hell did he do that
attack you in that thing?

209
00:22:06,032 --> 00:22:09,535
Beats me.
That's what I'd like to know.

210
00:22:09,661 --> 00:22:13,164
Maybe he attacked you
because he thought you were the puppeteer.

211
00:22:13,248 --> 00:22:16,876
Hey, what kind of "puppeteer" is this?
what you keep talking about?

212
00:22:17,001 --> 00:22:22,464
It's all still speculation at this point,
but it seems to be a rebel's code name.

213
00:22:22,590 --> 00:22:25,801
We have reason to believe that there will be deaths
of the tattooed men and Ka Rum...

214
00:22:25,885 --> 00:22:28,262
...all crimes were orchestrated
by this person.

215
00:22:28,388 --> 00:22:31,724
He hacks into the cyber brains of others
and forces them to commit suicide.

216
00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:36,104
Judging by the skill of the hacks, it seems we do
dealing with a super wizard class hacker.

217
00:22:36,437 --> 00:22:38,230
Wizard class?

218
00:22:38,398 --> 00:22:42,777
Chief, we found out how Ka Rum is doing
terrorist attack would work.

219
00:22:42,902 --> 00:22:43,819
What have you learned?

220
00:22:45,071 --> 00:22:47,448
You should come see this
for yourself.

221
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:52,870
Looks like Ka Rum tried
to spread his virus...

222
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:55,748
...by implanting children
with micromachines.

223
00:22:55,915 --> 00:22:59,084
Are you kidding me?!
“Retaliatory Terrorism,” my ass!

224
00:22:59,168 --> 00:23:02,212
No one could come up
with something so sick!

225
00:24:32,512 --> 00:24:36,098
Section 9 will find out
my M.O. one of these days.

226
00:24:36,182 --> 00:24:39,351
Loki, Conan, guard the fortress
while I'm away.

227
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,534
Looks like controlling two prosthetic bodies
right away is my limit.

228
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,671
I think our only option is to start
their training all over again.

229
00:25:06,754 --> 00:25:10,758
Real? Hell, and we even tried
using natural oil again...

230
00:25:10,883 --> 00:25:15,220
Yes. But in the end, the observers did
changed, so maybe this means...

231
00:25:15,304 --> 00:25:19,182
...that their previous environment
has not been perfectly replicated.

232
00:25:21,227 --> 00:25:24,730
You're still obsessed with it
their development, eh?

233
00:25:32,739 --> 00:25:35,992
Africa was much harder
than I thought.

234
00:25:36,075 --> 00:25:39,453
I got some new prosthetics before I left,
but it was still hard for me.

235
00:25:39,579 --> 00:25:42,623
When you start taking supplements
your heart and lung functions with prostheses,

236
00:25:42,749 --> 00:25:44,959
Your O2 extraction rate
gonna get hit.

237
00:25:45,084 --> 00:25:48,629
I didn't have much choice.
Not as long as I work here.

238
00:25:48,755 --> 00:25:52,467
First Togusa, now you...
I have to hand it over to you.

239
00:25:57,263 --> 00:25:59,014
From the list we found
in their hiding place,

240
00:25:59,098 --> 00:26:02,434
we have established that the group
consists of 16 members:

241
00:26:02,518 --> 00:26:05,312
The 13 members who committed suicide,
plus Ka Gael, Ma Shaba,

242
00:26:05,438 --> 00:26:07,690
And mentioned someone
Raj Puhto.

243
00:26:07,774 --> 00:26:13,321
Who is this Raj Puhto guy?
What are the chances that he is the puppeteer?

244
00:26:13,446 --> 00:26:16,866
It seems he was not successful
have not yet entered the country.

245
00:26:16,949 --> 00:26:19,952
We have verified that much
from their communication log.

246
00:26:20,036 --> 00:26:22,288
There aren't very many people
who will follow you to the grave...

247
00:26:22,413 --> 00:26:25,124
...if you tell them
to die with you.

248
00:26:25,208 --> 00:26:28,753
Things always seem to go this way
when dictators buy the farm.

249
00:26:28,836 --> 00:26:32,381
Yet 16 people is nothing
to sneeze at...

250
00:26:35,968 --> 00:26:37,427
Where have you been
Batou?

251
00:26:37,512 --> 00:26:39,430
When did you come back?

252
00:26:39,514 --> 00:26:42,850
Just now.
Sorry, don't let me interrupt you.

253
00:26:52,318 --> 00:26:53,777
Okay, let's continue.
Next.

254
00:26:55,613 --> 00:27:01,035
As for the missing micromachine virus:
one gross, a total of 144 ampoules,

255
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,245
Was brought in
the country.

256
00:27:03,371 --> 00:27:06,165
The ampoules contain
a biochemical weapon,

257
00:27:06,249 --> 00:27:09,168
A genetically engineered form of smallpox
to which a time-release function has been added.

258
00:27:10,294 --> 00:27:13,547
That's a nasty little bug
that they had lost track...

259
00:27:15,591 --> 00:27:16,300
Batou.

260
00:27:19,053 --> 00:27:20,679
There's something that
I have to be sure.

261
00:27:21,931 --> 00:27:26,685
You're sure you haven't seen it
anyone in Ma Shaba hospital?

262
00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:27,520
Yes.

263
00:27:28,062 --> 00:27:32,608
And when that robot went berserk, that wasn't the case
any indication of third party intervention?

264
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,693
No.

265
00:27:35,027 --> 00:27:36,361
If you say so.

266
00:27:36,487 --> 00:27:38,697
What exactly are they?
are you arriving?

267
00:27:39,365 --> 00:27:40,366
Good...

268
00:27:40,491 --> 00:27:46,997
The truth is we couldn't identify the owner
of that crushed car in the parking lot.

269
00:27:47,081 --> 00:27:49,041
Maybe it was stolen.

270
00:27:49,125 --> 00:27:52,837
Judging by that thing's security settings,
that's quite questionable.

271
00:27:53,337 --> 00:27:57,591
Plus some of the security camera footage
had been removed.

272
00:27:58,134 --> 00:28:02,054
I think we have to work
assuming someone else was there.

273
00:28:02,388 --> 00:28:05,057
And that "someone"
was the puppeteer?

274
00:28:05,349 --> 00:28:06,850
Possibly.

275
00:28:07,810 --> 00:28:12,356
Ka Rum's plan is not that
played a role at this stage,

276
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,361
But there is a lot of evidence to suggest that
this "Puppeteer" hacker picks up where Ka left off.

277
00:28:17,445 --> 00:28:20,948
From now on we will limit our focus to
detecting the micromachined ampoules,

278
00:28:21,073 --> 00:28:23,909
During the investigation into the puppeteer
at the same time.

279
00:28:24,035 --> 00:28:25,536
Roger.

280
00:28:25,786 --> 00:28:27,078
Togusa.

281
00:28:28,331 --> 00:28:29,540
What do you want from me?
To do?

282
00:28:29,999 --> 00:28:34,628
First, buy some RandR. Eliminating the root cause
human error is your top priority.

283
00:28:34,754 --> 00:28:37,339
Gotcha. I'll take you upstairs
on that offer.

284
00:28:39,926 --> 00:28:41,552
Oh, and Batou?

285
00:28:45,097 --> 00:28:48,683
This morning the chef said to me:
"It's time you bring him in."

286
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,728
You can commit yourself full-time
to become an instructor,

287
00:28:51,812 --> 00:28:55,106
Or you can work under me
about the puppeteer research.

288
00:28:56,234 --> 00:28:59,362
I leave the choice up to you.
What will it be?

289
00:29:05,952 --> 00:29:09,830
Do you even have to ask me that?
I'm on the puppeteer.

290
00:29:11,582 --> 00:29:13,000
Okay.

291
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,760
Learn something?

292
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,846
Yes, a few things.

293
00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:28,808
Skip the preliminaries
and fill us in.

294
00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:32,687
First I got the results back
of the medical checks we carried out on the 16 Kids.

295
00:29:32,812 --> 00:29:36,023
There were no signs that they had been
injected with micromachines.

296
00:29:36,148 --> 00:29:39,651
And although they showed symptoms of
dehydration and injuries from past abuse,

297
00:29:39,777 --> 00:29:41,987
They all are
basically healthy.

298
00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:47,576
But we also discovered that in each of the sixteen
part of their memory was erased,

299
00:29:47,660 --> 00:29:51,664
And their IDs had been rewritten
to turn them into someone else.

300
00:29:52,999 --> 00:29:55,501
They could answer accurately
when asked for their name or address,

301
00:29:56,210 --> 00:30:00,172
But when the subject turned to their parents,
they had no memory whatsoever.

302
00:30:00,256 --> 00:30:02,675
And when we went to check out
the addresses they gave,

303
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,844
There were only old people there
live on their own.

304
00:30:06,304 --> 00:30:08,097
Any chance that those old people
Are those really their parents?

305
00:30:08,180 --> 00:30:09,306
Not plausible.

306
00:30:09,390 --> 00:30:11,934
We've seen everything from an old woman
living alone in a room of 10 by 8...

307
00:30:12,018 --> 00:30:18,149
...to a rich old coot who could afford to pay
for nursing robots out of pocket.

308
00:30:18,232 --> 00:30:20,859
But without exception, they all were
Noble Rot Seniors...

309
00:30:20,943 --> 00:30:23,111
...that were connected
to the nursing system.

310
00:30:23,195 --> 00:30:27,032
Needless to say, there were no signs
that children had once lived there.

311
00:30:27,116 --> 00:30:31,245
The resident ledgers had 'kind'
listed next to their name,

312
00:30:31,370 --> 00:30:34,247
But they were
probably also doctored.

313
00:30:34,540 --> 00:30:36,708
What are these "Noble Rot Senior Citizens"?

314
00:30:37,168 --> 00:30:40,421
Apparently the term came along the way
old people affiliated with what's called...

315
00:30:40,546 --> 00:30:43,882
...the "Fully Automatic Nursing System" and
who receives minimal medical treatment...

316
00:30:43,966 --> 00:30:48,971
...lie there like grapes infected with noble rot
withering on the vine.

317
00:30:49,055 --> 00:30:53,142
The system was originally developed with
the goal of solving the aging problem,

318
00:30:53,225 --> 00:30:57,062
And at the same time to prevent them
to die alone and unnoticed.

319
00:30:57,563 --> 00:31:01,733
But when NPOs found out, it encouraged that
patients can connect to the net and stay in bed,

320
00:31:01,817 --> 00:31:06,738
They started making fun of it
as a thinly veiled asset collection system.

321
00:31:06,822 --> 00:31:08,031
You're sure
a lot about this.

322
00:31:08,157 --> 00:31:11,702
I heard all about it from the old ladies
who come to my pachinko place.

323
00:31:11,786 --> 00:31:15,790
It's kind of a bare-bones version of it
the model standing next to Ka Rum's bed.

324
00:31:17,124 --> 00:31:18,250
Hey, wait a minute.

325
00:31:18,584 --> 00:31:22,087
Ka Gael tried to create
human bombs, right?

326
00:31:22,213 --> 00:31:26,133
If that's true, why did he bother?
of erasing their memories of their parents?

327
00:31:26,258 --> 00:31:30,220
If he wanted the children to keep a low profile
after he infected them with the virus,

328
00:31:30,304 --> 00:31:33,265
wouldn't it have been smarter to erase
the memories of the kidnapping...

329
00:31:33,349 --> 00:31:34,266
...and then send them
at home?

330
00:31:34,558 --> 00:31:36,142
Hey, you asked
the wrong man.

331
00:31:36,268 --> 00:31:38,144
Yes, you definitely do
have a point there.

332
00:31:38,396 --> 00:31:42,400
If he had specifically had them cyberized at all
He will put a lot of effort into his plan.

333
00:31:42,817 --> 00:31:46,362
The operations appear to have been over
carried out prior to the kidnappings.

334
00:31:46,445 --> 00:31:48,113
The transformers appear
are also legitimate.

335
00:31:48,447 --> 00:31:51,366
In that case there must be registrations
at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

336
00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:53,785
Because they all are
six years old,

337
00:31:53,911 --> 00:31:58,248
A consent form signed by a parent
or guardian is required by law.

338
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:02,002
There were 144 missing ampoules...

339
00:32:03,796 --> 00:32:06,465
To be on the safe side, we should
probably take a look...

340
00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:09,969
...if there are children on the list
that meet the same description.

341
00:32:10,052 --> 00:32:11,428
Good call.

342
00:32:20,271 --> 00:32:23,107
Ministry of Health, Labor,
and Welfare

343
00:32:48,257 --> 00:32:53,845
If the 16 children we rescued were to undergo their cyberization operation
done through legitimate channels,

344
00:32:53,929 --> 00:32:56,431
the data would have been
automatically recorded...

345
00:32:56,515 --> 00:32:59,100
...in the MHLW databases
and the Ministry of Management.

346
00:32:59,185 --> 00:33:03,397
If they were kidnapped afterwards and
their family registers were changed...

347
00:33:03,522 --> 00:33:05,899
...to make them look
those old human children,

348
00:33:06,025 --> 00:33:09,987
There will be a discrepancy in the number of children
listed as cyberized in the national ID system...

349
00:33:10,070 --> 00:33:14,199
...and the number stated therein
the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

350
00:33:14,325 --> 00:33:15,367
I follow you.

351
00:33:15,451 --> 00:33:18,495
Since we have 16 here saying
they have the same last name...

352
00:33:18,579 --> 00:33:20,539
...as one of the seniors,
that should be true.

353
00:33:23,167 --> 00:33:24,251
20.0007

354
00:33:24,752 --> 00:33:26,712
There must be
some mistake.

355
00:33:27,546 --> 00:33:31,383
If children were kidnapped in such large numbers,
someone would have noticed.

356
00:33:31,592 --> 00:33:33,010
Yes you are right.

357
00:33:33,093 --> 00:33:37,847
Yet that number is far greater than anything else
we expected. What do you want to do?

358
00:33:37,932 --> 00:33:41,560
Let's start eliminating
the worst-case scenario.

359
00:33:41,685 --> 00:33:45,897
First look up the names and addresses
of the surplus children in the database.

360
00:33:46,023 --> 00:33:49,067
I'm working on it. I can have that for you
within a few seconds.

361
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:55,657
A trap?!

362
00:33:57,326 --> 00:34:00,912
This is an emergency.
Class E virus detected.

363
00:34:00,996 --> 00:34:03,289
Close
all equipment immediately.

364
00:34:03,415 --> 00:34:04,249
This is an emergency...

365
00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:06,043
Start virus scan.

366
00:34:06,126 --> 00:34:09,546
- Vaccine pattern match in progress.
- Immediately turn off all equipment.

367
00:34:09,672 --> 00:34:11,465
Server intrusion
has achieved...

368
00:34:16,345 --> 00:34:18,472
There's no point! It is not accepting
all commands!

369
00:34:18,597 --> 00:34:21,725
Higaki! Like this!
Lock the backup server!

370
00:34:21,892 --> 00:34:24,144
Too late!
It has already been compromised!

371
00:34:24,270 --> 00:34:26,188
We have to cut
the damn power then!

372
00:34:26,272 --> 00:34:27,523
Give me a hand!

373
00:34:28,232 --> 00:34:31,610
A virus had been planted
in the database of the Ministry of Management?

374
00:34:31,694 --> 00:34:33,487
Data disappears
also on their side!

375
00:34:33,696 --> 00:34:35,781
The data from the MHLW
intact?

376
00:34:35,906 --> 00:34:37,824
Yes. If only I knew why.

377
00:34:45,666 --> 00:34:46,917
Move it!

378
00:34:50,337 --> 00:34:51,880
The Ministry of Administration database is-

379
00:35:05,269 --> 00:35:10,732
I bet the Department of Management is buzzing
like a pricked beehive right now.

380
00:35:10,816 --> 00:35:14,653
Shit, we just lost
the best lead we had...

381
00:35:14,737 --> 00:35:19,992
Only if it turns out that it really is
There were 20,000 kidnappings.

382
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,536
What do you mean?

383
00:35:22,661 --> 00:35:25,080
Common sense says this is impossible
that the crew of Ka Gael...

384
00:35:25,164 --> 00:35:27,374
...could have left
so many kidnappings.

385
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:31,336
Even if we say they were the work
of this hacker, the puppeteer.

386
00:35:31,670 --> 00:35:34,130
The M.O. is ordinary
too sloppy.

387
00:35:34,214 --> 00:35:36,257
If he really wanted to cover up
the kidnappings,

388
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:40,554
Don't you find it strange that he leaves traces?
of tampering with just the national identity system?

389
00:35:40,679 --> 00:35:45,183
This way it's almost as if he's saying:
"I've rounded up these kids, now please find them."

390
00:35:45,559 --> 00:35:50,605
I, I think he has
something else in mind.

391
00:35:52,316 --> 00:35:54,735
I have to agree
with your opinion.

392
00:35:55,694 --> 00:35:57,070
Chief?

393
00:36:07,373 --> 00:36:12,503
These were delivered to the MHLWs
Isolation facility for pathogenic microorganisms.

394
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:16,047
Analysis identified them
as a micromachine virus produced by Seok.

395
00:36:16,423 --> 00:36:19,717
This certainly seems to indicate so
that our information was indeed correct.

396
00:36:19,802 --> 00:36:21,804
What did the person do?
who delivered it?

397
00:36:22,054 --> 00:36:27,726
There was no more data left
can show who delivered it, or when.

398
00:36:28,644 --> 00:36:31,647
So there is a chance that this person
could be the puppeteer?

399
00:36:31,730 --> 00:36:33,189
It is certainly possible.

400
00:36:33,273 --> 00:36:37,318
If that's the case, what belongs to the puppeteer?
end goal of all this?

401
00:36:37,403 --> 00:36:40,406
It wasn't to keep Ka's
terrorist plot underway?

402
00:36:41,323 --> 00:36:44,868
It seems that is so
a chance that the puppeteer...

403
00:36:44,952 --> 00:36:47,079
...is a hacker sent by
some government agency.

404
00:36:48,872 --> 00:36:53,001
The skill with which Ka Rum died
was covered is nagging at me.

405
00:36:53,085 --> 00:36:57,672
While I was trying to find answers, I heard rumors
of a rather suspicious conversation...

406
00:36:57,756 --> 00:37:01,509
...which took place between the Prime Minister
and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not so long ago.

407
00:37:02,177 --> 00:37:05,263
So you think the State Department
used a hacker to kill Ka Rum,

408
00:37:05,389 --> 00:37:08,100
The man who was such a big thorn
on the government's side?

409
00:37:08,392 --> 00:37:10,352
To be completely blunt
still left.

410
00:37:10,436 --> 00:37:14,940
In that case we probably should
consider the kidnappings as bait.

411
00:37:15,065 --> 00:37:18,068
Which section was it
who took over the job?

412
00:37:18,569 --> 00:37:22,447
Although this incident does amount to an amount
to a serious international crime,

413
00:37:22,573 --> 00:37:28,662
If we just look at the results it has achieved,
we and the government are on the same page.

414
00:37:28,954 --> 00:37:35,502
For now, I think we should let sleeping dogs lie
and prevent the situation from worsening.

415
00:37:37,629 --> 00:37:42,050
You must identify the 16 children
as soon as possible, but that's where it ends.

416
00:37:42,134 --> 00:37:45,053
I'm taking you away temporarily
of the puppeteer investigation.

417
00:37:47,556 --> 00:37:48,890
That's it.

418
00:37:51,810 --> 00:37:52,977
Oh man...

419
00:37:54,062 --> 00:37:58,441
All that work for nothing, and now we've done it
I've got a whole bunch of loose ends to tie up.

420
00:37:59,359 --> 00:38:04,572
The least we can do is investigate
the parents of those children, as soon as we can.

421
00:38:14,166 --> 00:38:17,752
I'm on my way there now.
Sorry I'm late.

422
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,825
I have to
ask you something.

423
00:38:50,035 --> 00:38:51,202
Yeah what?

424
00:38:51,328 --> 00:38:55,790
Who made you take us off this case?
The Treaty Revision Department?

425
00:38:56,625 --> 00:39:00,962
Oh, that's what you mean.
I made a deal with Nakamura.

426
00:39:01,046 --> 00:39:03,590
In exchange for running
a blind eye to their work,

427
00:39:03,715 --> 00:39:07,135
We were allowed to take possession
of the micromachine virus.

428
00:39:07,219 --> 00:39:08,970
And you're doing well
with that?

429
00:39:09,263 --> 00:39:12,557
If purifying Ka Rum was that important
for national interests,

430
00:39:12,641 --> 00:39:16,061
You should be offended that they
didn't ask us to do it.

431
00:39:16,186 --> 00:39:20,773
Otherwise what was the point of expanding?
Section 9 for the past two years, old man?

432
00:39:21,233 --> 00:39:23,902
She'll never come back
not when we're like this.

433
00:39:26,238 --> 00:39:31,034
Do we regret not receiving it?
such an order, or are we happy?

434
00:39:31,118 --> 00:39:34,496
The answer to that question will be decisive
what path we will take in the future.

435
00:39:35,414 --> 00:39:37,916
I understand completely
the point you're trying to make.

436
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,171
But we must also consider the possibility
that the major will never return to Section 9.

437
00:39:43,255 --> 00:39:46,758
Her talents were equal
rarer than ESP.

438
00:39:46,842 --> 00:39:50,637
However unfortunate it may be,
no one can fill her shoes but her.

439
00:39:51,930 --> 00:39:56,017
I won't be able to do it myself
to stay here forever.

440
00:39:56,101 --> 00:40:00,021
In that case, instead of solving one case
using every ounce of our strength,

441
00:40:00,397 --> 00:40:04,734
Shouldn't we create an organization that is capable?
of tackling three at a time with only 80%?

442
00:40:04,818 --> 00:40:10,824
Don't you think this is the best way?
to continue our ideals even after we are gone?

443
00:40:11,283 --> 00:40:15,161
That's what I had in mind when I worked
to expand our organization.

444
00:40:15,537 --> 00:40:18,748
Making Togusa a squad commander
was part of that bigger plan.

445
00:40:18,832 --> 00:40:24,963
But if you had accepted the job,
it all could have turned out differently.

446
00:40:25,297 --> 00:40:27,882
I'm not cut out
for such positions.

447
00:40:28,258 --> 00:40:32,345
If you believe that subjectively
If so, you may be right.

448
00:40:32,471 --> 00:40:34,598
But it's different
with Togusa.

449
00:40:34,681 --> 00:40:40,645
A person has to overcome a large number of obstacles
so that his innate talent can flourish.

450
00:40:41,188 --> 00:40:44,232
I want you to give it to him
the support he needs.

451
00:40:44,650 --> 00:40:49,863
Are you sure?
Personally, I think he's doing a great job.

452
00:40:49,988 --> 00:40:54,492
The major would say he's staying
his personal feelings away from his work.

453
00:40:54,618 --> 00:40:57,078
It seems he even told his family
about his work at Section 9,

454
00:40:57,162 --> 00:40:59,122
as well as the prostheses
he has.

455
00:40:59,206 --> 00:41:03,418
But I doubt he had it easy
of gaining their understanding.

456
00:41:03,835 --> 00:41:07,380
That's something I never was
can do until the end.

457
00:41:12,135 --> 00:41:14,679
I'm glad we could do that
to talk like that again.

458
00:41:31,530 --> 00:41:33,365
It doesn't look like I'll be able to do that
to come home again tonight.

459
00:41:33,490 --> 00:41:37,202
There's nothing to be done about it. You are in a position
of responsibility now.

460
00:41:37,327 --> 00:41:40,038
Yeah... So, take the kids
worn?

461
00:41:40,122 --> 00:41:40,956
Yes.

462
00:41:41,039 --> 00:41:46,044
But since our girl declared she would be
slept alone in her own room last week,

463
00:41:46,378 --> 00:41:49,005
It's been a bit quiet here
without the two fighting.

464
00:41:49,339 --> 00:41:51,924
She has that, right?
She's growing up.

465
00:41:52,050 --> 00:41:54,385
She certainly is. Finally,
she is now six.

466
00:41:55,095 --> 00:41:56,346
Wow, she's already six...

467
00:42:01,101 --> 00:42:03,311
Send me a photo of it
She's sleeping, okay?

468
00:42:03,395 --> 00:42:05,480
Certainly. I will.

469
00:42:16,992 --> 00:42:21,454
Togusa, we have an emergency!
Go straight to Flat 47!

470
00:42:26,418 --> 00:42:27,794
What happened?!

471
00:42:31,882 --> 00:42:36,261
I'm sorry sir...
The children are-

472
00:42:37,095 --> 00:42:39,514
They were gone by then
we realized what was happening.

473
00:42:39,598 --> 00:42:41,224
It's just like what happened
with Ka Gael...

474
00:42:41,391 --> 00:42:43,142
Definitely looks like it.

475
00:42:44,144 --> 00:42:46,062
The puppeteer...

476
00:42:52,486 --> 00:42:55,489
If he wanted Pro dead, he would have
He pulled the trigger a long time ago.

477
00:42:55,614 --> 00:42:56,656
He just tries
to save time!

478
00:42:59,785 --> 00:43:00,702
Shit!

479
00:43:01,578 --> 00:43:05,790
ISHIKAWA! Borma!
Use the IR system to find those kids as quickly as possible!

480
00:43:05,874 --> 00:43:07,959
We can hardly do that
Now keep those damn lights on!

481
00:43:08,085 --> 00:43:10,212
Let's ask the prefectural police
also for help!

482
00:43:10,295 --> 00:43:12,171
Bring Pro to the analysis room.

483
00:43:14,883 --> 00:43:16,759
Togusa! We need
talk!

484
00:43:17,010 --> 00:43:20,304
It can wait until later!
Finding those children is paramount!

485
00:43:20,555 --> 00:43:25,309
This is important! maybe I will
know who the puppeteer is.

486
00:43:35,821 --> 00:43:37,447
It's Aramaki.

487
00:43:38,907 --> 00:43:40,450
Excuse me.

488
00:43:40,534 --> 00:43:41,576
What stopped you?

489
00:43:41,660 --> 00:43:44,579
Sorry, it's hectic
at work.

490
00:43:44,830 --> 00:43:48,291
How do you feel,
Colonel Tonoda?

491
00:43:57,425 --> 00:44:00,636
His little "hobbies" are not
completely changed, I see.

492
00:44:00,929 --> 00:44:02,847
Don't be so hard on him.

493
00:44:03,849 --> 00:44:07,352
They tell me his health problems
are due to the stress of prison life.

494
00:44:08,728 --> 00:44:14,024
Where is that ungrateful Tsujisaki?
He hasn't come to see me once.

495
00:44:14,109 --> 00:44:18,488
He has forgotten the debt he owes to the man
who cared for him more than anyone else!

496
00:44:24,327 --> 00:44:26,871
His memories seem to be
also a bit messy.

497
00:44:27,455 --> 00:44:30,708
Let's go outside for a moment.
There is something I want to give you.

498
00:44:31,334 --> 00:44:35,671
There is now nothing left of the man
they called Colonel Red Demon.

499
00:44:36,047 --> 00:44:41,385
You should think about remarriage.
There is no sadder sight than a single old man.

500
00:44:41,887 --> 00:44:46,808
I decided a long time ago that I would never own anything
that I couldn't take with me to the grave.

501
00:44:46,892 --> 00:44:49,144
Steely-eyed and determined
as always, I see.

502
00:44:55,525 --> 00:44:59,070
So, what was it that you
wanted to give me?

503
00:44:59,154 --> 00:45:01,447
Right. This is it.

504
00:45:02,741 --> 00:45:06,703
The truth is, I ran into the major
at Ma Shaba hospital.

505
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,372
The mayor?
You can't say that...

506
00:45:09,539 --> 00:45:12,667
At first I didn't think so
it was possible.

507
00:45:12,751 --> 00:45:17,630
But then I became more and more convinced
that she had to be the puppeteer.

508
00:45:17,756 --> 00:45:20,341
I missed my chance
to bring it up earlier.

509
00:45:20,842 --> 00:45:23,469
Did you see her killed?
Ma Shaba?

510
00:45:23,595 --> 00:45:27,640
No. But I did see her
walk away with the ampoules.

511
00:45:31,311 --> 00:45:34,772
I used to always intervene
when it seemed...

512
00:45:34,856 --> 00:45:37,733
...the major may be involved
in a particular case.

513
00:45:37,817 --> 00:45:41,946
But then I always thought she was
helps us solve the case in her own way.

514
00:45:42,822 --> 00:45:44,865
But this time
is different.

515
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:49,119
What the hell is the Major
try to do?

516
00:45:49,204 --> 00:45:55,084
Damned if I know. But it was the Treaty Revision Department
that led to the hit on Ka Rum.

517
00:45:55,377 --> 00:45:57,587
That's probably where the major is.

518
00:46:02,801 --> 00:46:04,177
Stone!

519
00:46:04,469 --> 00:46:08,473
I want you and SAITO to go
for ring road

520
00:46:08,598 --> 00:46:10,725
This is the highest priority!

521
00:46:11,184 --> 00:46:16,606
Chief, we have a situation of our own here.
The Puppeteer has also struck in Section 9.

522
00:46:16,856 --> 00:46:17,982
He's what?!

523
00:46:18,066 --> 00:46:21,486
Old man, I hate to say it,
but I think the puppeteer...

524
00:46:21,611 --> 00:46:23,070
Let's keep this to ourselves
for now.

525
00:46:24,155 --> 00:46:26,365
I'll try to verify it
for myself.

526
00:46:27,033 --> 00:46:31,746
Chief, now that he's made a move,
The investigation is open again, right?

527
00:46:31,830 --> 00:46:32,997
I suppose that is so.

528
00:46:33,164 --> 00:46:35,958
Understood.
What happened on your side?

529
00:46:36,459 --> 00:46:39,712
About two hours ago,
security cameras in coastal district 2...

530
00:46:39,838 --> 00:46:43,424
...seen by chance
an internationally wanted criminal.

531
00:46:43,508 --> 00:46:49,555
Hey? Who is he? He must be a difficult customer
if you want me and SAITO there.

532
00:46:51,224 --> 00:46:55,436
A super class A sniper,
formerly of the Seok Republic.

533
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,563
Lieutenant Raj Puhto.

534
00:46:57,689 --> 00:47:00,483
Raj Puhto? Wait, that's it
one of the names from

535
00:47:04,362 --> 00:47:06,947
The only member who hadn't
come into the country, eh?

536
00:47:07,991 --> 00:47:11,661
He was the commander of
Ka Rum's personal guard.

537
00:47:12,037 --> 00:47:16,624
The way I heard it, he had applied for asylum
in China after Seok fell...

538
00:47:17,667 --> 00:47:21,504
Considering the timing of his entry into the country,
there must be something to this...

539
00:47:21,588 --> 00:47:22,922
Right.

540
00:47:23,590 --> 00:47:27,385
Fortunately, the intelligence service
has a solution for its current position.

541
00:47:27,469 --> 00:47:30,388
I want you two to follow him
and find out what his purpose is.

542
00:47:30,513 --> 00:47:32,014
- Roger.
- Roger.

543
00:47:33,308 --> 00:47:38,688
Look, Togusa, if it turns out that's the Major
the puppeteer and we have to deal with her...

544
00:47:38,772 --> 00:47:41,691
I know, I don't want it
think about that too.

545
00:47:42,317 --> 00:47:45,737
Somehow, one day,
I will repay you for this favor.

546
00:47:47,739 --> 00:47:51,909
Colonel Tonoda, I'm afraid I can't do it
stay longer today.

547
00:48:00,251 --> 00:48:04,797
They say children resemble their parents
and robots hunt people,

548
00:48:05,799 --> 00:48:08,843
But you didn't come out
something like me.

549
00:48:09,761 --> 00:48:13,765
It makes me happy that such a fool is like me
has produced a genius like you.

550
00:48:13,848 --> 00:48:16,809
Try to pay attention to your health,
Okay?

551
00:48:19,437 --> 00:48:24,400
Thank you for saying so, sir.
Take care of yourself too, Colonel.

552
00:48:39,416 --> 00:48:42,085
What is his method? will be
for his sniping?

553
00:48:42,252 --> 00:48:43,253
Same as mine.

554
00:48:43,336 --> 00:48:47,548
He will use his Hawkeye to establish himself
make a satellite connection, and then take his chance.

555
00:48:47,632 --> 00:48:52,470
Which means it's only a matter of time
we lose the ability to track it via GPS.

556
00:48:52,804 --> 00:48:55,431
Yes, we have to catch him
before then.

557
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,476
Let me take over.
I'm going to take a look at his face.

558
00:48:58,601 --> 00:49:00,394
Make sure he doesn't see you.

559
00:49:24,502 --> 00:49:25,753
I have confirmation.

560
00:49:25,837 --> 00:49:28,631
No doubt about that,
this is our man.

561
00:49:40,852 --> 00:49:45,022
Togusa! The IR system
picked up one of the children.

562
00:49:45,148 --> 00:49:47,441
Real?
What is his location?

563
00:49:47,692 --> 00:49:51,320
Walking through the grounds
of the Kohoku public housing projects.

564
00:49:51,529 --> 00:49:52,780
Hey, that's close
where I live.

565
00:49:53,531 --> 00:49:55,366
Okay,
I'm going to check it out.

566
00:49:55,492 --> 00:49:57,952
I'll place a call
to the PPD.

567
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,497
I think it's going to be research again
those 20,000 kidnapping cases before us...

568
00:50:01,581 --> 00:50:02,832
Looks like this.

569
00:50:03,041 --> 00:50:05,793
Damn, I think we have to
Put the Major on the back burner for now...

570
00:50:31,778 --> 00:50:33,738
Treaty Assessment Division


571
00:50:43,164 --> 00:50:45,457
The puppeteer,
I assume?

572
00:50:47,502 --> 00:50:49,754
It certainly is
a suitable name.

573
00:50:50,171 --> 00:50:53,591
I received a question a few minutes ago
of Section 9 Public Safety...

574
00:50:53,716 --> 00:50:57,469
...and asked me if I knew who a hacker was
could be known as the Puppeteer.

575
00:50:57,929 --> 00:51:01,265
My answer was:
"Sorry, I don't do that."

576
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:04,435
So, what did you want?
to talk to me about?

577
00:51:06,062 --> 00:51:08,522
I came here to pay back
your payment.

578
00:51:12,443 --> 00:51:15,279
As for us,
as long as you carry out your orders,

579
00:51:15,405 --> 00:51:17,824
We don't care what you do
to get the job done.

580
00:51:19,284 --> 00:51:22,453
I'm sorry, but you don't
see me again.

581
00:51:24,664 --> 00:51:30,461
In that case I leave a net channel open
so you can contact us. Feel free to-

582
00:51:36,467 --> 00:51:38,802
Is this also a doll?

583
00:51:39,721 --> 00:51:43,599
What a waste. And she was
so talented too...

584
00:52:07,874 --> 00:52:10,042
The sun is about to rise...

585
00:52:10,710 --> 00:52:14,630
But why do you think?
Has he decided to come here now?

586
00:52:16,174 --> 00:52:18,843
You don't think it can be done
Ka Rum's revenge?

587
00:52:19,052 --> 00:52:24,390
That would make the most sense,
But how would he have gotten that information?

588
00:52:24,515 --> 00:52:28,143
Even we were left out of the picture
on that little fact.

589
00:52:28,227 --> 00:52:29,853
You have a point.

590
00:52:30,229 --> 00:52:33,023
Gosh, how tall is this guy
are you going to keep driving through the city?

591
00:52:37,528 --> 00:52:41,031
Now that I think about it,
there's that building again.

592
00:52:45,703 --> 00:52:46,912
Hey, isn't that the...

593
00:53:07,433 --> 00:53:12,729
Togusa, the boy just entered the apartment
602 in building N25. Can you find it?

594
00:53:12,855 --> 00:53:16,233
Yes, I know this neighborhood
like the back of my hand.

595
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,635
A noble rotten senior...

596
00:54:41,068 --> 00:54:46,156
Give him back! Everything I have
There is an investment in that boy!

597
00:54:46,866 --> 00:54:51,662
I'd rather pass it on to someone
the damn street, let the government take it away!

598
00:54:52,705 --> 00:54:57,626
Either way, the boy is said to have died from abuse
If I hadn't brought him...

599
00:54:59,337 --> 00:55:04,050
That is the will of the people of all those people
who live in the settled state...

600
00:55:04,175 --> 00:55:08,804
It's our game...
No, our just economic action!

601
00:55:09,180 --> 00:55:15,102
If you don't want to kill yourself like the others,
keep your nose out of our society!

602
00:55:15,394 --> 00:55:17,813
Consider yourself... warned...

603
00:55:30,701 --> 00:55:33,954
I definitely get the feeling
that his sniper target is in there.

604
00:55:34,205 --> 00:55:35,497
Yes...

605
00:55:56,394 --> 00:55:59,188
Turn off his cyber brain and
Assign him a guard, okay?

606
00:55:59,272 --> 00:56:00,606
Yes sir.

607
00:56:07,363 --> 00:56:12,826
Cardiac arrest confirmed. Request for deletion
of the remains and the collection of the nursing system.

608
00:56:13,244 --> 00:56:18,332
Availability? That's weird,
Didn't he have family somewhere?

609
00:56:18,666 --> 00:56:22,378
There is a six year old child
mentioned in his file...

610
00:56:22,879 --> 00:56:24,297
Data error perhaps?

611
00:56:24,755 --> 00:56:26,757
I can't complain
That's one less job for me...

612
00:56:26,841 --> 00:56:29,760
Holy Citizen Assistance Center

613
00:56:29,802 --> 00:56:34,973
Data error? No, he's missing
because I saved him.

614
00:56:35,099 --> 00:56:38,268
That means even if I hadn't come here,
the boy would...

615
00:56:38,352 --> 00:56:42,606
...taken into custody by them
of their standard procedure.

616
00:56:53,618 --> 00:56:56,495
Special agents
commit suicide...

617
00:56:57,079 --> 00:56:59,206
Disappeared children...

618
00:57:00,333 --> 00:57:02,209
Noble Rot Seniors...

619
00:57:03,294 --> 00:57:06,755
The will of the people thereof
who live in the settled state...

620
00:57:07,965 --> 00:57:12,970
Wait a minute, what does 'Solid State' mean
mean in the first place?

621
00:57:13,095 --> 00:57:15,305
What did that do?
old man means?

622
00:57:23,356 --> 00:57:24,607
It's me.

623
00:57:24,690 --> 00:57:27,192
Thank God,
I'm finally through it!

624
00:57:27,318 --> 00:57:32,448
Honey, you need to come home right away!
Our daughter is missing!

625
00:57:56,013 --> 00:57:57,723
That finishes it...

626
00:57:59,266 --> 00:58:00,225
Let's go after him!

627
00:58:01,519 --> 00:58:02,186
To wait!

628
00:58:03,104 --> 00:58:05,106
Shit, he's got it
optical camouflage?

629
00:58:13,698 --> 00:58:15,366
Well damn
is happening?!

630
00:58:21,247 --> 00:58:21,789
Child protection

631
00:58:22,373 --> 00:58:23,999
Her GPS is off...

632
00:58:24,458 --> 00:58:26,251
Is it the puppeteer?

633
00:58:26,377 --> 00:58:29,213
But she hasn't
no cyber implants yet!

634
00:58:32,633 --> 00:58:35,385
I want you to determine it exactly
which satellite he uses!

635
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,390
Now that we've lost sight of him,
the moment he starts shooting will be...

636
00:58:39,515 --> 00:58:41,099
...our first and last chance
to get him!

637
00:58:42,226 --> 00:58:44,186
I can probably find it
that satellite for you,

638
00:58:44,270 --> 00:58:46,772
But how are you actually going to do that?
do you spot the man?

639
00:59:12,465 --> 00:59:13,674
He should be
in this region...

640
00:59:14,050 --> 00:59:18,512
He knows where we are, but so can we
to determine his position from here.

641
00:59:18,596 --> 00:59:21,432
Change this.
You're too easy to see.

642
00:59:21,557 --> 00:59:25,018
There's no time. If we can beat him,
I should be able to take him with me!

643
00:59:30,149 --> 00:59:31,191
Let's get started.

644
00:59:48,209 --> 00:59:48,959
Bingo!

645
00:59:49,210 --> 00:59:50,336
Send it to me!

646
00:59:55,174 --> 00:59:57,467
Is this man his target?

647
00:59:58,094 --> 00:59:59,220
I have a back trace
in position!

648
00:59:59,637 --> 01:00:00,929
SE-37...

649
01:00:08,187 --> 01:00:10,814
Is that where he is?
Send my details back to him!

650
01:00:16,654 --> 01:00:18,447
They're queuing
a shot at me?!

651
01:00:34,338 --> 01:00:35,756
SAITO!

652
01:00:37,091 --> 01:00:38,467
Did I nail him?

653
01:00:39,927 --> 01:00:42,095
Sits tight!
I'm going to look!

654
01:01:01,323 --> 01:01:02,824
Damn it, hurry up!

655
01:01:04,493 --> 01:01:06,453
Hey? Dad?

656
01:01:21,427 --> 01:01:22,678
Good?

657
01:01:25,014 --> 01:01:27,558
Have a little faith in your skills,
why not?

658
01:01:37,276 --> 01:01:38,902
That's a relief...

659
01:01:45,117 --> 01:01:46,118
Well, then...

660
01:01:46,243 --> 01:01:50,872
Hey, who was that guy you were referring to?
Why did you try to kill him?

661
01:01:51,415 --> 01:01:57,462
It was to avenge the general's death...
I'm going to kill you all, Japs.

662
01:01:57,588 --> 01:02:01,883
Take revenge?
Don't give me that nonsense!

663
01:02:01,967 --> 01:02:04,886
Where did you get your hands?
on that piece of information?

664
01:02:04,970 --> 01:02:07,764
It was a tip I got
of a double agent.

665
01:02:07,973 --> 01:02:13,353
He said he would tell me who the mastermind was
the general's death, so I have to go kill him.

666
01:02:13,604 --> 01:02:16,440
And what is the name of
this double agent?

667
01:02:17,524 --> 01:02:22,320
A councilor named Munei who spends money
a lot of time at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...

668
01:02:22,780 --> 01:02:26,366
Old man, you have to arrest a councilman
called Munei ASAP.

669
01:02:26,450 --> 01:02:29,536
Here is also a photo of the man
who tried to kill Raj.

670
01:02:29,620 --> 01:02:32,247
Looks like he's the mastermind
behind the hit on Ka Rum.

671
01:02:33,791 --> 01:02:38,045
If I'm not mistaken, the man in this photo is
the counselor named Hitoshi Munei...

672
01:02:40,798 --> 01:02:42,174
What are you trying?
pull?

673
01:02:42,549 --> 01:02:47,887
The man who tried to punch you
is the same man who gave you your information!

674
01:02:48,138 --> 01:02:49,639
That's his problem.

675
01:02:49,974 --> 01:02:52,851
Maybe he wanted that
commit suicide or something.

676
01:02:53,394 --> 01:02:55,312
Commit suicide?

677
01:02:55,854 --> 01:03:01,818
Hey, are you sure it's the puppeteer?
Aren't you pulling the strings, buddy?

678
01:03:02,820 --> 01:03:05,614
Shit... Maybe.

679
01:03:06,156 --> 01:03:09,617
If that S.O.B. was a man,
I would have killed it immediately...

680
01:03:09,868 --> 01:03:12,787
If it would affect me at all,
I'm going to be so angry...

681
01:03:13,497 --> 01:03:16,166
Is the puppeteer not human?

682
01:03:17,167 --> 01:03:22,005
It's the name of the abduction mechanism
children built into the Solid State...

683
01:03:22,423 --> 01:03:24,425
The settled state?

684
01:03:24,842 --> 01:03:27,344
Hi! Well damn
is the solid state?

685
01:03:27,803 --> 01:03:31,723
Do you really not know?
It's the nursing network...

686
01:03:31,849 --> 01:03:37,563
The government of this democratic country
of you goes around kidnapping children...

687
01:03:37,688 --> 01:03:39,398
It's too damn funny...

688
01:03:44,028 --> 01:03:46,905
Old man, I need a paramedic team
and a helicopter here.

689
01:03:47,823 --> 01:03:52,536
And find out what that Munei man's is
background. Something strange is going on.

690
01:03:52,619 --> 01:03:54,120
Understood.

691
01:03:56,498 --> 01:04:01,753
Anyway, I found her
right after I called you.

692
01:04:01,962 --> 01:04:05,048
It sounds like she was next door
since this morning.

693
01:04:09,428 --> 01:04:13,723
She was, wasn't she?
I'm just glad it was a false alarm.

694
01:04:14,767 --> 01:04:17,060
You are not allowed to leave the house
without telling mom.

695
01:04:17,144 --> 01:04:18,270
Okay!

696
01:04:18,395 --> 01:04:21,064
Good girl.
I drop her off at school.

697
01:04:21,607 --> 01:04:23,525
I have to get back to right away
the office afterwards.

698
01:04:23,609 --> 01:04:26,695
Are you sure?
You look exhausted.

699
01:04:26,779 --> 01:04:28,781
I just see you guys
makes me feel better.

700
01:04:29,198 --> 01:04:32,409
Real?
Well if you say so.

701
01:04:35,412 --> 01:04:37,247
Bye!

702
01:04:55,516 --> 01:04:57,100
What is it?

703
01:04:58,143 --> 01:04:59,894
Nothing!

704
01:05:01,355 --> 01:05:02,773
Togusa!

705
01:05:03,107 --> 01:05:08,445
We have Raj Puhto in custody.
It seems the puppeteer was involved as well.

706
01:05:08,779 --> 01:05:10,280
What does that mean?
the major is-

707
01:05:10,406 --> 01:05:14,827
Yes. But maybe not the major
finally the puppeteer.

708
01:05:15,953 --> 01:05:19,456
Raj Puhto says the puppeteer is
the name of an abduction mechanism...

709
01:05:19,540 --> 01:05:21,959
...that's built-in
the nursing network.

710
01:05:22,292 --> 01:05:23,960
Kidnapping mechanism?

711
01:05:24,086 --> 01:05:25,295
Yes.

712
01:05:25,629 --> 01:05:28,465
Moreover, he called the nursing network
the 'solid state'

713
01:05:28,549 --> 01:05:31,677
And implied that the government
involved in some way.

714
01:05:32,594 --> 01:05:37,515
To tell you the truth, when I met the major...
she told me to stay away from the Solid State.

715
01:05:37,641 --> 01:05:40,644
At first I thought that 'solid state'
referred to cyber implants.

716
01:05:40,727 --> 01:05:44,480
In other words, she told me
to stay away from her.

717
01:05:44,565 --> 01:05:48,443
But maybe she really told me
to stay away from the care network.

718
01:05:49,027 --> 01:05:51,571
I suspect Ka Rum and his group are
this mechanism exposed,

719
01:05:51,655 --> 01:05:54,407
Tried to exploit it for their plot,
and allowed themselves to be purified.

720
01:05:54,491 --> 01:05:56,159
That makes sense...

721
01:06:00,622 --> 01:06:01,664
It's from mom.

722
01:06:02,124 --> 01:06:03,500
Give me a minute.

723
01:06:08,255 --> 01:06:09,714
Hello?

724
01:06:11,008 --> 01:06:13,343
You ignored our warning.

725
01:06:14,261 --> 01:06:15,136
Hi!

726
01:06:15,220 --> 01:06:18,097
That mistake will cost you
your cute daughter.

727
01:06:22,186 --> 01:06:24,396
Togusa!
What's wrong?!

728
01:06:31,695 --> 01:06:34,906
ISHIKAWA! Can you catch me?
Togusa's current location?!

729
01:06:36,116 --> 01:06:38,451
I can look it up.
Why? What is?

730
01:06:38,535 --> 01:06:40,995
His cyber brain
get hacked!

731
01:06:46,251 --> 01:06:49,379
Dad?
This is not the way to school...

732
01:06:52,799 --> 01:06:55,927
Shit... So that's you
the puppeteer, eh?

733
01:06:56,053 --> 01:06:59,347
What's your plan
and how do the kidnapped children fit into this?

734
01:06:59,431 --> 01:07:02,517
Where have those 20,000 children gone?
disappear to?

735
01:07:02,601 --> 01:07:08,732
We simply recycle minds that have
could be foolishly lost.

736
01:07:08,815 --> 01:07:12,944
I'm about to let you experience it for yourself
exactly what some of them have experienced.

737
01:07:18,825 --> 01:07:21,703
Kohoku Cyberbrain Surgical Hospital
Batou!

738
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,747
I have a solution
Togusa's location!

739
01:07:25,082 --> 01:07:28,960
He's at Cyberbrain Surgical Hospital
in Kohoku New Town!

740
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,138
Now I understand.

741
01:07:40,722 --> 01:07:43,266
If the children's own parents are
take them to the hospital,

742
01:07:43,350 --> 01:07:47,771
The doctors will carry out the cyberization operation
without suspecting anything.

743
01:07:48,981 --> 01:07:51,233
Then you overwrite
the child's memory,

744
01:07:51,316 --> 01:07:54,944
The parent drops off his child at the care of an elderly person,
and the kidnapping is completed.

745
01:07:55,028 --> 01:08:01,117
After this you will erase my own memory,
and my daughter will be gone.

746
01:08:04,121 --> 01:08:07,749
You don't have to feel bad
about changing your memories.

747
01:08:07,833 --> 01:08:13,380
In modern society, memories are constantly present
be changed at an unconscious level.

748
01:08:13,463 --> 01:08:18,134
The likelihood of such changes already
is greater than that of a traffic accident.

749
01:08:33,650 --> 01:08:36,694
So I am given
a choice, right?

750
01:08:52,169 --> 01:08:53,253
Is that the place?

751
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,352
I will never let you people
take my daughter.

752
01:09:17,861 --> 01:09:22,073
Listen, honey. Do you think you can do it?
What is dad going to ask?

753
01:09:22,866 --> 01:09:26,870
When daddy lets go of your hand,
run away as quickly as possible.

754
01:09:26,953 --> 01:09:28,704
Run away?

755
01:09:28,830 --> 01:09:29,789
That's right.

756
01:09:30,123 --> 01:09:32,959
You're going to hear a bang
just like a field day at school.

757
01:09:33,043 --> 01:09:35,336
When you hear the bang,
run with everything you have.

758
01:09:36,505 --> 01:09:42,385
Once you start, don't stop running for anything.
And whatever you do, don't look back.

759
01:09:43,053 --> 01:09:44,554
Can you do that?

760
01:09:46,515 --> 01:09:48,975
Okay then.
Close your eyes.

761
01:09:53,188 --> 01:09:56,774
I'm sorry...
This is goodbye, darling.

762
01:10:10,455 --> 01:10:11,873
Togusa!

763
01:10:19,005 --> 01:10:20,589
I love you.

764
01:10:24,094 --> 01:10:25,178
Togusa!

765
01:10:52,873 --> 01:10:54,624
Maximum! Musashi!

766
01:10:57,461 --> 01:11:00,130
Everything is okay.
Don't worry.

767
01:11:07,637 --> 01:11:08,512
Important?

768
01:11:09,598 --> 01:11:14,060
I had to wait until the very last second.
Sorry about that.

769
01:11:14,144 --> 01:11:17,272
So I guess this means that you
I'm not the puppeteer...

770
01:11:17,647 --> 01:11:19,440
Where have you been?
all this time?

771
01:11:22,152 --> 01:11:23,820
Dad!

772
01:11:26,448 --> 01:11:30,743
Since I left Section 9, I've been wandering around the internet,
secretly intervene...

773
01:11:30,827 --> 01:11:36,165
...to solve crimes that couldn't be solved
through an organization-based methodology.

774
01:11:36,500 --> 01:11:39,336
While I do that,
I came across these kidnapping cases,

775
01:11:39,419 --> 01:11:42,171
And conducted
an independent investigation by myself.

776
01:11:45,550 --> 01:11:48,302
I can't believe you
used Togusa as bait!

777
01:11:48,386 --> 01:11:50,971
Have you ever stopped to think that that might be the case
put his family in the spotlight?

778
01:11:51,056 --> 01:11:53,641
I made sure I had protection
put in place.

779
01:11:53,725 --> 01:11:57,145
Thanks to them, we should know now
who the puppeteer really is.

780
01:11:57,229 --> 01:12:02,484
What? You mean 'Puppeteer' isn't the name of
a system that runs on the nursing network?

781
01:12:02,567 --> 01:12:05,778
Instead of calling it a 'system',
It would probably be more accurate...

782
01:12:05,862 --> 01:12:10,283
...to call it a gestalt of all seniors
that are attached to the supply network.

783
01:12:10,367 --> 01:12:14,788
But there is an independently operating hub Cyberbrain
who manages the whole.

784
01:12:14,871 --> 01:12:16,163
A Cyberbrain hub?

785
01:12:24,130 --> 01:12:26,465
Hey, are those what I think they are?!

786
01:12:27,717 --> 01:12:31,303
I put them together from data
I found floating in the net.

787
01:12:31,721 --> 01:12:34,223
Hello, Mr. Batou!
That was a long time ago!

788
01:12:34,307 --> 01:12:36,475
It's nice to see that
you are doing well!

789
01:12:37,018 --> 01:12:41,981
The welfare network has had a loophole
installed since the design phase.

790
01:12:42,065 --> 01:12:43,066
Look.

791
01:12:45,569 --> 01:12:50,198
This is the full picture of the rhizome
woven through the Gestalt of the seniors.

792
01:12:51,825 --> 01:12:54,369
A rhizome does not contain
the concept of a 'center'.

793
01:12:54,452 --> 01:12:56,620
That's why the Cyberbrain hub
is constantly in motion.

794
01:12:56,746 --> 01:13:00,332
That, or the rhizome itself
could act as a hub.

795
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,925
Okay, so now I know what's going on.
But who or what is the Cyberbrain hub?

796
01:13:09,634 --> 01:13:12,762
Maximum! Musashi!
Report your findings.

797
01:13:14,139 --> 01:13:15,390
What's the problem?

798
01:13:16,474 --> 01:13:20,936
I don't know
how to tell this to you...

799
01:13:21,062 --> 01:13:23,064
You failed?

800
01:13:25,233 --> 01:13:28,694
B-But we did it
however, please point out the location!

801
01:13:30,113 --> 01:13:31,531
Where is it?

802
01:13:31,615 --> 01:13:37,370
The Sacred Citizen Relief Center Building!
That's where the heart of the care network is!

803
01:13:57,057 --> 01:14:00,393
They have arrived.
Loosen locks.

804
01:14:07,025 --> 01:14:09,819
It's been a long time,
Important.

805
01:14:10,987 --> 01:14:12,613
I suppose that is so.

806
01:14:14,908 --> 01:14:17,827
Too bad this reunion didn't happen
under happier circumstances.

807
01:14:21,289 --> 01:14:24,333
What made you decide
come back?

808
01:14:25,669 --> 01:14:28,505
Let's save that discussion
for later.

809
01:14:28,630 --> 01:14:32,050
Our first assignment at the moment
is to arrest the puppeteer.

810
01:14:34,302 --> 01:14:37,388
Hitoshi Munei. Assemblyman
in the House of Representatives.

811
01:14:37,514 --> 01:14:40,183
The reason why he was marked
because death is our only clue...

812
01:14:40,266 --> 01:14:43,519
...in uncovering the true identity
of the puppeteer.

813
01:14:43,895 --> 01:14:48,858
He is a reactionary conservative nationalist
who has always been a vocal supporter...

814
01:14:48,942 --> 01:14:53,863
...of the formation of a ruling class
consists of full-blooded Japanese.

815
01:14:53,989 --> 01:14:56,449
He is in constant contact
with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

816
01:14:56,533 --> 01:14:59,827
And he also has strong ties with it
the Treaty Assessment Division.

817
01:14:59,911 --> 01:15:02,246
He was involved too
The murder of Ka Rum.

818
01:15:02,539 --> 01:15:04,582
What do you mean, Major?

819
01:15:05,125 --> 01:15:08,044
I have signed a contract
the Treaty Revision Department, so that I...

820
01:15:08,128 --> 01:15:10,380
...make it look like Ka Rum
had been murdered.

821
01:15:10,505 --> 01:15:13,716
But the puppeteer got him
before I could.

822
01:15:14,134 --> 01:15:17,720
So you were solely responsible for that
covering up his death afterwards.

823
01:15:18,930 --> 01:15:20,890
Yes more or less.

824
01:15:23,935 --> 01:15:28,064
We also learned that Hitoshi Munei
has acquired a leading position...

825
01:15:28,148 --> 01:15:31,568
...in the daily business operations of
the Sacred Citizen Relief Center.

826
01:15:31,651 --> 01:15:33,361
What's in it
for him?

827
01:15:33,653 --> 01:15:38,491
The place is just a shelter that provides
senior health care and vocational training.

828
01:15:38,575 --> 01:15:42,078
WHERE. However, thanks to the patronage
of certain politicians,

829
01:15:42,203 --> 01:15:45,873
in addition to his public persona
as a tax-exempt foundation,

830
01:15:45,957 --> 01:15:49,543
It actually acts as a training agency
for the power elite.

831
01:15:50,128 --> 01:15:52,964
So the place is
a real brainwashing factory...

832
01:15:53,089 --> 01:15:57,843
That must be what Raj Puhto meant when he said
implied that the government was involved.

833
01:15:58,094 --> 01:16:03,099
If it is used as a temporary central clearinghouse
for the kidnapped children,

834
01:16:03,183 --> 01:16:06,144
it means the fact that Munei uses it
like a brainwashing factory...

835
01:16:06,269 --> 01:16:09,105
...is what the puppeteer is
has a problem with it.

836
01:16:09,230 --> 01:16:13,108
Chief. What about conducting
a mandatory investigation?

837
01:16:13,193 --> 01:16:16,613
Our top priority is finding
the missing children.

838
01:16:16,696 --> 01:16:19,198
Yes, but loot the place
will cause a scandal.

839
01:16:19,282 --> 01:16:24,495
If that happens, it won't just be an asshole
from a politician who gets heat for it.

840
01:16:29,709 --> 01:16:31,961
ISHIKAWA!
How are you?

841
01:16:32,712 --> 01:16:37,925
Is that you, Major? You've chosen hell
time to join the herd again...

842
01:16:38,343 --> 01:16:41,721
I've found evidence of a huge amount
of the equipment that is brought in...

843
01:16:41,805 --> 01:16:44,808
...that was based
of the HC-25 brainwashing machine,

844
01:16:44,891 --> 01:16:47,310
But that's pretty weak evidence
as a basis for a raid.

845
01:16:47,435 --> 01:16:48,894
What about visuals
from within?

846
01:16:48,978 --> 01:16:51,897
I only found images of
their manual labor department.

847
01:16:52,816 --> 01:16:56,653
The defensive barrier that protects the education wing
is a complex virtual experience maze.

848
01:16:56,778 --> 01:16:58,780
I had no luck at all
sneak in.

849
01:16:59,531 --> 01:17:01,533
They look like refugees...

850
01:17:03,409 --> 01:17:06,328
So the kidnapped children are
held in the education wing...

851
01:17:06,412 --> 01:17:08,038
What does that mean?
the abduction mechanism...

852
01:17:08,164 --> 01:17:11,667
...was already built into this place
during the planning phase.

853
01:17:12,460 --> 01:17:15,796
If it weren't, I'd have a hard time imagining it
that an ordinary politician...

854
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,299
...would have the nerve to propose
such a bold policy.

855
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,886
So you believe the puppeteer
was one of them...

856
01:17:22,011 --> 01:17:24,346
...who were involved in the construction
the basis of the project?

857
01:17:26,683 --> 01:17:30,770
ISHIKAWA. Use decoys to make it look like this
hackers are trying to enter the place.

858
01:17:30,854 --> 01:17:32,188
I'm going inside.

859
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:35,358
If this blows up in our faces,
It gives you some cover.

860
01:17:35,483 --> 01:17:38,402
If you and Togusa are still here,
Section 9 can continue.

861
01:17:38,528 --> 01:17:39,862
Batou.

862
01:17:40,822 --> 01:17:43,491
I don't like hearing it
that kind of talk.

863
01:17:44,742 --> 01:17:47,202
Oh, so you're the one doing that
are you retiring this time?

864
01:17:47,287 --> 01:17:53,042
I appreciate your consideration,
but the only reason I came here is to identify the puppeteer.

865
01:17:53,168 --> 01:17:56,671
It is certainly true that you always need
someone who can roll up their sleeves for you.

866
01:17:56,754 --> 01:18:00,215
And besides, I have nothing
to lose now.

867
01:18:02,177 --> 01:18:04,804
Chief. Not offensive,
but I'm going in there myself.

868
01:18:04,888 --> 01:18:08,141
The puppeteer is waiting
a chance to eliminate Munei.

869
01:18:08,391 --> 01:18:10,601
I don't want to leave it
this opportunity is slipping away.

870
01:18:10,727 --> 01:18:13,896
But how do you want to approach it?
find the puppeteer?

871
01:18:14,147 --> 01:18:17,150
We still have no idea
who he really is.

872
01:18:18,526 --> 01:18:20,736
I'm going to keep it
my ears open.

873
01:18:21,905 --> 01:18:24,198
My Spirit will do that
whisper it to me.

874
01:18:34,167 --> 01:18:38,713
Gee, this is it
kinda awkward, huh?

875
01:18:38,796 --> 01:18:39,463
Go...

876
01:18:39,923 --> 01:18:42,383
Go...

877
01:18:48,181 --> 01:18:51,058
Hello everyone!
Long time ago, huh?

878
01:18:58,441 --> 01:18:59,650
Here we go...

879
01:19:15,625 --> 01:19:17,043
Let's do it!

880
01:19:19,963 --> 01:19:24,550
There's nothing like the thrill you get
dragging along in a physical body, does that exist?

881
01:19:24,634 --> 01:19:28,095
Real? I don't know,
I'm not used to my joints yet...

882
01:19:37,814 --> 01:19:41,150
This looks like a new basic attack,
but their reaction seems strange...

883
01:19:41,401 --> 01:19:43,319
Go to warning status
just to be sure.

884
01:19:43,444 --> 01:19:44,987
- Understood.
- Understood.

885
01:19:49,117 --> 01:19:52,203
A fellow professional, eh?
Oops!

886
01:19:54,831 --> 01:19:57,667
Okay, I think we did that
each other's attention...

887
01:20:07,010 --> 01:20:11,222
Hacking from the Public Prosecution Service
again, huh? They're wasting their time.

888
01:20:22,025 --> 01:20:23,943
I'm going out to inspect
the facility.

889
01:20:32,869 --> 01:20:34,912
Paz and Borma,
secure an evacuation route!

890
01:20:35,038 --> 01:20:36,039
- Roger.
- Roger.

891
01:21:10,239 --> 01:21:11,865
W-Who are you people?

892
01:21:11,949 --> 01:21:15,619
What use would that be to you?
Then I would have to kill you.

893
01:21:25,797 --> 01:21:27,965
I lost communication?

894
01:21:36,682 --> 01:21:38,600
Come here
the security cyborgs!

895
01:21:40,478 --> 01:21:42,813
Major, go ahead.

896
01:21:54,450 --> 01:21:56,660
The one who came in
is as good as dead!

897
01:21:56,786 --> 01:21:58,120
Go after
the think tanks!

898
01:21:58,246 --> 01:21:59,622
Understood.

899
01:22:56,387 --> 01:22:58,430
Open fire without too much
as a warning, right?

900
01:22:58,514 --> 01:23:01,683
This must be an important government facility,
Okay...

901
01:23:24,457 --> 01:23:25,875
Wow, he's following us...

902
01:23:25,958 --> 01:23:27,084
I think it's good.

903
01:23:54,070 --> 01:23:56,238
No thermal signatures
or shadows...

904
01:23:56,822 --> 01:23:59,491
Kyo-Re's 'Cloak of Invisibility', huh?
Which means they...

905
01:23:59,575 --> 01:24:01,368
Your information
way out of date!

906
01:24:11,462 --> 01:24:14,798
They don't call Type-3302
a cloak of invisibility.

907
01:24:14,924 --> 01:24:16,342
Son of a-

908
01:24:21,639 --> 01:24:23,932
Shit! You little-
Get away from-

909
01:25:18,613 --> 01:25:19,947
Mow them down.

910
01:25:20,281 --> 01:25:21,615
Roger!

911
01:25:39,050 --> 01:25:43,304
Support me. I'll be able to take control
from the system in just a few more minutes.

912
01:25:43,387 --> 01:25:47,307
Leave it to me.
Haven't we always worked like this?

913
01:25:58,569 --> 01:26:00,904
Togusa! What is your current position?!

914
01:26:01,197 --> 01:26:05,034
Important? I'm working on my approach
against the wall of the building.

915
01:26:05,576 --> 01:26:09,538
Good. Go to the roof
and meeting the chef!

916
01:26:09,872 --> 01:26:12,249
I found out
where the children are.

917
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:37,524
Let's go!

918
01:27:10,266 --> 01:27:12,810
Member of Parliament Munei.
We are Public Safety Section 9.

919
01:27:12,935 --> 01:27:16,146
We have already seen it ourselves
what you're planning to do here.

920
01:27:18,274 --> 01:27:21,277
Judging from what we see here,
a large-scale mandatory investigation...

921
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,528
...it seems inevitable,
wouldn't it?

922
01:27:25,364 --> 01:27:26,907
Public safety?

923
01:27:26,991 --> 01:27:30,285
This facility may not be on the books,
but it is the government's most vital agency.

924
01:27:30,453 --> 01:27:34,457
You self-righteous public safety
piss ants have no business here!

925
01:27:34,540 --> 01:27:39,044
Excuse me, councilor,
but from what I can see here,

926
01:27:39,128 --> 01:27:43,966
This seems exactly like the type of situation
where we must intervene.

927
01:27:44,049 --> 01:27:48,136
You are a civil servant,
but I don't think you understand...

928
01:27:48,262 --> 01:27:50,138
...the severity of the threat
what this country is facing.

929
01:27:50,222 --> 01:27:52,641
If nothing happens, one day
in the not too distant future,

930
01:27:52,767 --> 01:27:56,228
The prosperity of our country will do that
being displaced by other races.

931
01:27:56,312 --> 01:28:00,649
To prevent that, we spend tax revenues
about these children without families,

932
01:28:00,733 --> 01:28:04,319
By providing them with education,
and entrust our future to them!

933
01:28:04,445 --> 01:28:07,197
What, exactly,
do you think that's wrong?

934
01:28:07,323 --> 01:28:10,326
Those taxes are money
you abused...

935
01:28:10,451 --> 01:28:13,245
...elderly and refugees
that you commit yourself to this place!

936
01:28:13,329 --> 01:28:16,665
That couldn't be helped either.
Stop and think about it.

937
01:28:16,791 --> 01:28:19,668
What have they ever done?
for the good of this country?

938
01:28:19,752 --> 01:28:23,797
They don't build families or have children!
They are not fulfilling their duty as taxpayers!

939
01:28:23,881 --> 01:28:27,926
They live their lives only for themselves,
and then say, "I'm old, take good care of me!"

940
01:28:28,010 --> 01:28:29,553
Their selfishness
is terrible!

941
01:28:29,970 --> 01:28:32,514
If it were up to me, I would introduce a new tax
on them to make it right...

942
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,392
...the tax revenues we lose because they are
too old or can no longer work!

943
01:28:35,810 --> 01:28:37,311
You are splitting her apart.

944
01:28:37,394 --> 01:28:41,648
In that case maybe you can tell me
what have you politicians been doing all this time?

945
01:28:41,732 --> 01:28:44,901
Who takes responsibility for your placement
self-preservation and vanity above your duties,

946
01:28:45,027 --> 01:28:49,364
And continually address pressing issues
on hand on low?

947
01:28:49,740 --> 01:28:53,076
I'm proud of the fact that I have that
took responsibility for it.

948
01:28:53,202 --> 01:28:57,539
Are you also proud of violating human rights?
and cyberbrain ethics laws?

949
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:01,376
I believe those were steps
that had to be taken along.

950
01:29:01,710 --> 01:29:03,795
You refuse to give in
right?

951
01:29:08,175 --> 01:29:10,886
Major, I've run a check
the number of children here.

952
01:29:10,970 --> 01:29:15,015
But there are still far from 20,000.
There are at most 3,000.

953
01:29:15,099 --> 01:29:17,392
I see. Change your communication channel
into an autistic mode.

954
01:29:17,518 --> 01:29:18,727
Roger.

955
01:29:21,397 --> 01:29:22,439
Assemblyman.

956
01:29:22,565 --> 01:29:29,405
Did you know that a system works automatically?
Kidnapping children is designed in this center?

957
01:29:29,905 --> 01:29:34,993
These children are not orphans.
The vast majority are children who have been kidnapped.

958
01:29:35,411 --> 01:29:38,956
It was our research into
those kidnappings that led us here.

959
01:29:39,540 --> 01:29:43,210
You yourself are a material witness
in that case.

960
01:29:44,753 --> 01:29:47,756
I supervised this project
from the beginning,

961
01:29:47,882 --> 01:29:50,593
And I certainly don't remember recording it
such a bug in the system!

962
01:29:51,093 --> 01:29:54,930
In that case we will question the people
who invented the system!

963
01:29:57,224 --> 01:29:58,767
It was me.

964
01:30:01,437 --> 01:30:05,315
I was the one who came up with the core concepts
on which the Solid State system is based.

965
01:30:30,716 --> 01:30:32,926
Togusa!
Take everyone into custody!

966
01:30:33,010 --> 01:30:34,052
Roger!

967
01:30:34,136 --> 01:30:38,223
Batou, I'm going to dive into this man's Cyberbrain
before his memories cause a whiteout!

968
01:30:38,390 --> 01:30:39,474
Support me!

969
01:30:40,017 --> 01:30:41,268
I hope I'm on time!

970
01:30:46,774 --> 01:30:48,192
Batou, I'm connected.

971
01:30:48,651 --> 01:30:50,778
Gotcha. I'm boosting
your signal.

972
01:30:54,281 --> 01:30:58,159
I see his memory field,
but the yield decreases.

973
01:30:58,285 --> 01:31:01,246
Batou, you think
Can you boost his output?

974
01:31:01,330 --> 01:31:05,000
Let's try entering through a Tachikoma.
Come back up!

975
01:31:05,751 --> 01:31:07,502
There's no time!

976
01:31:07,711 --> 01:31:10,463
Can you see me
Puppeteer?

977
01:31:14,885 --> 01:31:17,929
Can you see me
Puppeteer?

978
01:31:18,514 --> 01:31:20,516
Puppeteer...

979
01:31:20,849 --> 01:31:24,727
That is the name of the Cyberbrain hub
oversaw the rootstock of the Noble Rot Senior Citizens.

980
01:31:25,354 --> 01:31:26,772
Yes...

981
01:31:27,314 --> 01:31:29,357
I enter his right visual center.

982
01:31:29,441 --> 01:31:32,152
The saccades have stopped.
Fixative micro-eye movements also...

983
01:31:32,236 --> 01:31:34,446
Hi! What happened?

984
01:31:37,533 --> 01:31:40,452
Batou, I'm calling him in
my speech center.

985
01:31:40,536 --> 01:31:43,539
- Don't be stupid! Come up and then dive again!
- I owe you a lot of thanks.

986
01:31:43,622 --> 01:31:47,792
Munei was from the Solid State
biggest bottleneck, you see.

987
01:31:47,876 --> 01:31:50,211
I tried to clear him
time and time again,

988
01:31:50,295 --> 01:31:54,465
But he's an old-fashioned type
who hates the thought of cyberization.

989
01:31:54,550 --> 01:31:59,846
Who the hell are you?
What do you use the kidnapped children for?

990
01:31:59,930 --> 01:32:01,765
Setting aside the issue
my identity at this moment,

991
01:32:01,890 --> 01:32:04,142
Maybe those were my motives
same as Munei's.

992
01:32:05,394 --> 01:32:10,524
This country has reached the point where
someone has to step in and take action.

993
01:32:12,026 --> 01:32:14,903
The problem of
More than 6 million Noble Rot elderly...

994
01:32:14,987 --> 01:32:16,238
Growing
unemployment rate,

995
01:32:16,321 --> 01:32:20,074
And it proportionally decreasing
employee population that continues unabated.

996
01:32:21,118 --> 01:32:23,328
And then there is
the declining birth rate...

997
01:32:24,038 --> 01:32:26,623
There is no end to the problems
that needs to be addressed.

998
01:32:26,749 --> 01:32:30,919
Were you aware that even if such a thing exists
furor over the declining birth rate,

999
01:32:31,045 --> 01:32:36,925
50,000 children under the age of six
lose their lives unnecessarily every year?

1000
01:32:37,509 --> 01:32:41,387
30% of these deaths can be attributed
to domestic violence.

1001
01:32:41,472 --> 01:32:42,744
- Good? Can you do it?
- And in 80% of those cases...

1002
01:32:42,806 --> 01:32:43,932
- I'll try.
- And in 80% of those cases...

1003
01:32:44,058 --> 01:32:49,104
...child care centers, the police,
or other relevant authorities were aware of the situation,

1004
01:32:49,229 --> 01:32:51,940
But they couldn't
to prevent deaths.

1005
01:32:52,149 --> 01:32:54,818
The systems of this country
have already collapsed,

1006
01:32:54,943 --> 01:32:57,904
And the potential of the individual
decreases significantly.

1007
01:32:57,988 --> 01:32:59,531
Important!

1008
01:33:00,032 --> 01:33:04,453
If you stay there much longer, you will
whiteout along with him when he dies!

1009
01:33:04,536 --> 01:33:05,453
That's when...

1010
01:33:05,579 --> 01:33:10,584
...| came up with the idea of recycling Ghosts
that were unnecessarily damaged.

1011
01:33:10,667 --> 01:33:14,128
I do find children at risk
the abuse monitoring network,

1012
01:33:14,213 --> 01:33:16,381
And then wash
their family registers.

1013
01:33:16,465 --> 01:33:20,385
I thought that would give them
a new chance at life.

1014
01:33:20,469 --> 01:33:23,972
So that's the core concept
of the Solid State system?

1015
01:33:24,098 --> 01:33:25,808
That's right.
But to make it work,

1016
01:33:25,933 --> 01:33:29,353
The help of
the Noble Rot Senior Citizens was essential.

1017
01:33:29,478 --> 01:33:34,149
They hunger for something that
will give them a reason to exist.

1018
01:33:34,274 --> 01:33:36,651
Although they couldn't
to pass on their DNA,

1019
01:33:36,777 --> 01:33:40,739
Their offspring would exist on paper,
and there would be someone to whom he could leave his estate.

1020
01:33:40,823 --> 01:33:43,867
This way, instead of forfeiting their personal belongings
to the state after their death,

1021
01:33:43,992 --> 01:33:47,787
They could just use the net and move on
to participate in this economic action.

1022
01:33:47,871 --> 01:33:50,874
They happily gave my plan
their approval.

1023
01:33:51,125 --> 01:33:53,710
You realize what you are doing
is a crime, isn't it?

1024
01:33:53,836 --> 01:33:59,466
Yes, but if those purposes had absolute priority,
those were the only possible means.

1025
01:33:59,550 --> 01:34:05,347
My main job was to save these children
who were in danger as soon as possible.

1026
01:34:05,430 --> 01:34:09,600
For that reason alone, I don't regret it
about what I did, even if it cost me my life.

1027
01:34:09,685 --> 01:34:13,271
On the contrary, it means that
my life as a bureaucrat had meaning.

1028
01:34:13,355 --> 01:34:16,858
All that remained was reinforcement
the Solid State system...

1029
01:34:16,942 --> 01:34:19,527
...to make something of it
a self-sustaining mechanism.

1030
01:34:23,448 --> 01:34:28,119
Maybe, but by purifying them one by one
those who interfered with your system,

1031
01:34:28,203 --> 01:34:31,080
...it drew attention to your plan,
and it was discovered.

1032
01:34:31,206 --> 01:34:34,125
When you think about how they must have felt
when they knew their time was near,

1033
01:34:34,209 --> 01:34:36,544
It was an understandable reaction
on their part.

1034
01:34:37,045 --> 01:34:41,049
Ka Rum, I can understand,
but why Munei?

1035
01:34:41,175 --> 01:34:44,011
Because he held on
the children imprisoned here.

1036
01:34:44,094 --> 01:34:47,388
If only they would become normal
his brainwashed elite,

1037
01:34:47,472 --> 01:34:50,558
I give them a new life
it was all for nothing.

1038
01:34:50,684 --> 01:34:53,311
Children need education,
but if you do not release them into the world,

1039
01:34:53,395 --> 01:34:55,563
They will not develop
a strong will of one's own.

1040
01:34:55,689 --> 01:34:58,274
That was the point of contention
between Munei and me,

1041
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:02,070
And it was the main reason
why I had to eliminate him.

1042
01:35:02,613 --> 01:35:06,116
But you had to go
and come visit this time...

1043
01:35:06,450 --> 01:35:11,538
Anyway, my plan has now made progress
smoothly to the next phase.

1044
01:35:12,456 --> 01:35:15,417
I never succeeded
hack your cyber brain,

1045
01:35:15,500 --> 01:35:18,544
But now I've managed to get you
to connect me directly into it.

1046
01:35:18,629 --> 01:35:19,963
Important!

1047
01:35:27,262 --> 01:35:30,098
You killed yourself just to lure me
to link with you?!

1048
01:35:30,182 --> 01:35:31,933
You are a formidable opponent,

1049
01:35:32,017 --> 01:35:34,477
but if I can trick you for a moment
in a maze of thoughts,

1050
01:35:34,603 --> 01:35:37,522
I should be able to eliminate
Section 9 in one go.

1051
01:35:41,109 --> 01:35:42,777
I'm surprised.

1052
01:35:42,903 --> 01:35:45,697
Your way of thinking is arrogant
and self-righteous,

1053
01:35:45,781 --> 01:35:49,534
But you have so much drive that it is so
a waste of your talent as a bureaucrat.

1054
01:35:49,743 --> 01:35:55,498
Besides, you know everything about me...
Who the hell are you?!

1055
01:35:56,250 --> 01:36:00,712
Still haven't figured it out?
Come now, Motoko Kusanagi...

1056
01:36:02,339 --> 01:36:06,343
That's certainly not possible
many people in your memory...

1057
01:36:06,468 --> 01:36:10,388
...with whom it burns
so much selfish justice.

1058
01:36:29,408 --> 01:36:33,245
We synced with
countless consciousnesses over the years.

1059
01:36:33,328 --> 01:36:38,833
That shouldn't be a big surprise
your deep collective subconscious came alive.

1060
01:36:39,876 --> 01:36:42,879
This is the Solid State
will be complete.

1061
01:36:43,005 --> 01:36:46,008
And now, let's be
a disappearing mediator...

1062
01:36:46,133 --> 01:36:49,386
...and actively hold hands
the next society.

1063
01:37:13,994 --> 01:37:17,747
I can't see anything.
Someone can give me a status report.

1064
01:37:27,883 --> 01:37:29,801
Finally awake, huh?

1065
01:37:29,885 --> 01:37:33,388
Batou? Are you there?
What's going on?

1066
01:37:33,805 --> 01:37:35,348
Where am I?

1067
01:37:43,190 --> 01:37:47,402
So, what have they decided
to do with the children?

1068
01:37:47,486 --> 01:37:52,866
It looks like they will be returned
for the time being to their real parents.

1069
01:37:53,325 --> 01:37:58,246
Even if their memories are overwritten,
even knowing about the abuse...

1070
01:37:58,455 --> 01:38:01,416
I wonder if that's really the case
what is best for the children.

1071
01:38:01,875 --> 01:38:05,420
Maybe the fact that they can't answer
That question after all this...

1072
01:38:05,504 --> 01:38:08,798
...highlights the limitations
of our system.

1073
01:38:09,716 --> 01:38:12,802
What will happen to the children who found it?
foster parents and managed to get out...

1074
01:38:12,928 --> 01:38:16,097
...before their brainwashing
can education begin?

1075
01:38:18,266 --> 01:38:21,143
We'll probably have to wait a long time
for the statements of what I expect...

1076
01:38:21,436 --> 01:38:26,482
...will be quite complicated trials
they go through them on a case-by-case basis.

1077
01:38:28,985 --> 01:38:33,948
Chief, what can we hope for?
to do things like this?

1078
01:38:34,699 --> 01:38:36,784
The only thing I can do
tell you is this:

1079
01:38:36,868 --> 01:38:40,121
All we can do is keep working
within the rules that govern us...

1080
01:38:40,247 --> 01:38:43,833
...to take a stand
the unjust.

1081
01:38:48,588 --> 01:38:54,218
I just hope that when they grow up,
they have reached their full potential...

1082
01:38:54,302 --> 01:38:59,265
...and will find the answers
that we couldn't.

1083
01:39:03,478 --> 01:39:10,026
If you think about it,
the “Solid State System” is a pretty ironic name.

1084
01:39:10,652 --> 01:39:14,530
The metaphor of his choice was 'transistors'
to describe the cyber brain of seniors...

1085
01:39:14,656 --> 01:39:18,660
That's definitely something
where a bureaucrat with a stuffed shirt would show up, right?

1086
01:39:20,245 --> 01:39:24,332
I have to admit, I panicked a little
to find out who the puppeteer really was.

1087
01:39:30,255 --> 01:39:32,090
What do you mean?

1088
01:39:32,466 --> 01:39:37,637
After you we learned some things
lost consciousness as he died.

1089
01:39:38,096 --> 01:39:41,682
That pencil pusher actually
passed away two years ago.

1090
01:39:43,185 --> 01:39:46,980
Name, Tateaki Koshiki.
Age, 33.

1091
01:39:47,272 --> 01:39:53,319
Born into a family of civil servants,
and had been on his way to elite status since his youth.

1092
01:39:53,403 --> 01:39:56,531
Joined the Ministry of Management and
Coordination immediately after graduation.

1093
01:39:57,115 --> 01:40:00,368
But he soon became frustrated and
started refusing to come to work,

1094
01:40:00,494 --> 01:40:03,371
Possibly because that's what he had become
a civil servant without any purpose.

1095
01:40:03,497 --> 01:40:08,335
Because of his Cyberbrain skills, he was allowed to do that
working from home via a remotely located prosthetic body...

1096
01:40:08,418 --> 01:40:11,879
...and then he apparently executed
carries out his duties in an indifferent manner.

1097
01:40:12,547 --> 01:40:16,676
Munei brought him in two years ago
his project out of respect for his capabilities,

1098
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:20,513
Which would be carried out through manipulation
both the Ministries of Welfare and Management.

1099
01:40:20,805 --> 01:40:25,476
When he did, Koshiki designed independently
and implemented his kidnapping system.

1100
01:40:26,394 --> 01:40:31,107
But his problem was that he wasn't
the kind of man who stood out.

1101
01:40:31,650 --> 01:40:33,902
Despite this enormous job
what he was doing,

1102
01:40:34,069 --> 01:40:39,407
No one noticed him
became ill and died at home.

1103
01:40:42,827 --> 01:40:48,374
Thanks to that, the puppeteer's true identity
will forever remain a mystery.

1104
01:40:51,545 --> 01:40:54,256
So that means that
someone completely different...

1105
01:40:54,339 --> 01:40:59,093
...used that remote body
cause all this?

1106
01:40:59,469 --> 01:41:01,220
It's possible.

1107
01:41:01,930 --> 01:41:05,391
Actually, that theory is
probably more likely.

1108
01:41:05,475 --> 01:41:08,603
Even with those old people
had formed a Gestalt with him,

1109
01:41:08,728 --> 01:41:13,065
Their actions were caused by
their collective unconscious.

1110
01:41:13,149 --> 01:41:16,819
So there is no option for us
to know for sure now.

1111
01:41:17,112 --> 01:41:18,446
Oh.

1112
01:41:20,365 --> 01:41:22,033
Except, that's...

1113
01:41:22,784 --> 01:41:27,955
...for the conversation between you and Koshiki
that was recorded in the Tachikoma's memory.

1114
01:41:30,792 --> 01:41:32,919
Is it still there?

1115
01:41:33,128 --> 01:41:38,174
That should be the case, but that's what they claim
that when Koshiki died,

1116
01:41:38,300 --> 01:41:41,970
...all his memories
had a whiteout.

1117
01:41:42,554 --> 01:41:45,139
Have you been listening?
That conversation, Batou?

1118
01:41:46,933 --> 01:41:48,434
Yeah kind of.

1119
01:41:49,644 --> 01:41:52,897
But at this point,
it doesn't really matter, right?

1120
01:41:52,981 --> 01:41:57,694
The oldtimers,
those children who were abused,

1121
01:41:57,819 --> 01:42:00,738
All that stuff is on its way
to be resolved now.

1122
01:42:00,822 --> 01:42:07,036
Even if we don't find out who the puppeteer is
was real, this case is still more or less closed.

1123
01:42:07,454 --> 01:42:11,291
Written off as a scandal involving
a handful of bad apple politicians?

1124
01:42:14,294 --> 01:42:16,337
It's the strangest thing there is,
Batou...

1125
01:42:17,922 --> 01:42:21,258
How worn out I felt
and disillusioned about?

1126
01:42:23,553 --> 01:42:27,473
What do you think I was looking for?
while I wandered the net?

1127
01:42:27,557 --> 01:42:30,017
Truth? Friendship?

1128
01:42:31,186 --> 01:42:34,314
Or maybe someone special?

1129
01:42:35,523 --> 01:42:38,817
Maybe I just wanted to blame
this organization or even the system...

1130
01:42:38,902 --> 01:42:41,154
...for my own feeling
of helplessness.

1131
01:42:41,571 --> 01:42:45,366
what's wrong?
Do you turn to me meekly and modestly?

1132
01:42:45,659 --> 01:42:48,036
Did you get whatever it was?
out of your system?

1133
01:42:51,122 --> 01:42:53,457
So, what are you
are you going to do now?

1134
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:58,045
You plan to keep that up
"carrying out investigations chosen by personal deduction"...

1135
01:42:58,129 --> 01:43:00,506
... routine of yours
alone?

1136
01:43:01,049 --> 01:43:03,509
Maybe I've had it
of that too.

1137
01:43:04,386 --> 01:43:08,556
When I operate under restrictions,
I definitely feel limited by them,

1138
01:43:08,682 --> 01:43:12,727
But without those limitations it doesn't feel like it
as if my actions accomplish something.

1139
01:43:12,811 --> 01:43:15,146
I think I'll be right back
to where I started...

1140
01:43:15,522 --> 01:43:20,318
What is that supposed to mean? That's your way
by saying you're coming back to Section 97

1141
01:43:21,027 --> 01:43:26,657
But what about Togusa?
Won't I stand in the way of his development?

1142
01:43:26,741 --> 01:43:30,911
If that keeps him from growing,
he wouldn't go any further.

1143
01:43:31,037 --> 01:43:33,039
I wouldn't sweat it
if i were you.

1144
01:43:33,873 --> 01:43:35,749
Maybe you're right.

1145
01:43:40,839 --> 01:43:45,969
You know, Batou,
the net is truly vast and infinite.

1146
01:43:47,762 --> 01:43:53,642
Perhaps a new society that we have never known
what is dreamed of is already being born.
