All language subtitles for GITS SAC S2.12

I'm a soldier, znatchit ya...
I'm a soldier, and that means...

...i otvetchik i sud'ya
...that I am both defendant and judge.

Ya stoyu na dvuh kontsah ognya
I stand at both ends of the fire.

Ogibaya virazhi,
Leaning into the curves,

obgonyaya smert' i zhizn',
overtaking life and death,

ya begu srazit'sya s ten'yu lzhi
I'm running to fight the shadow of lies.

Skol'ko b nitej ne plyol obman,
No matter how tangled the web of deception is woven,

pokazhet lik sveta istina...
truth will always illuminate the outline of the light...

Save your tears for the day...

...when the pain is far behind.

On your feet, come with me.

We are soldiers, stand or die.

Save your fears, take your place.

Save them for the Judgment Day.

Fast and free, follow me.

Time to make the sacrifice.

We rise or fall...

Activating F4 decoy!

Injecting barrier-buster virus!

Okay, good work.

Once you've got all your attack barrier variants
on standby along the outer perimeter,

encrypt and compress it.

Roger!

Found it.

A stealth gate that you can't get to
unless you go through...

...the European satellite network
via the northern hemisphere, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, but get this.
It's actually the Asian Matrix.

The Local Asian Net, huh?
That wasn't very clever of him.

That's for sure.

Want me to get to work on a
structural analysis right away?

We'll contact
the Major first.

That bastard Gohda
is just showing off now.

It's a message to us that says, "Even if you do
find Kawashima's external memories,"

"you won't be able to find any
evidence that leads to me."

He's sly, I'll give him that.
But from what I can tell,

there's no evidence that a third party's
tampered with the external memory.

Assuming that the Individual Eleven
are triggered by a virus,

there's a good chance that
there's evidence of it here.

Okay, I'm gonna
dive it.

Ishikawa and Borma,
watch my back.

Tachikoma, stand by
with a virus array.

Is Set D okay?

Sure, that's fine.

Major, I'm sorry to interrupt,
but get up here on the double.

This is top priority.

If it's more important than this,
it must be serious.

It is. Call Batou,
Saito, and Paz, too.

You heard the man.

Borma, you make the dive
instead of me.

Ishikawa, see to the rest.

Okay... What say we
get this over with?

Let's do it.

Say, Togusa, why don't you set your
avatar file to your default shape?

Using them while chatting is one thing,
but don't you think it'd be dangerous...

...to be weighed down by something like that
when you're diving a barrier array?

Anyway, do you really wanna see me
and ol' Ishikawa here...

...flying around in superhero costumes
like in American comic books?

He has a point...

Stow the chatter.
Borma's about to go through the gate.

Resuming virus injection!

Collision with enemy defensive barrier array
and neutralization commencement verified.

Got anything?

I see something. There's a suspicious file
down in level 6...

What's the file name?

"Individual Eleven."

What's the plan?

To find out if this file is the virus
that triggers the Individual Eleven,

the fastest way is to actually dump it into
somebody's cyberbrain and see what happens.

Hey!
What the hell.

Wanna try sending it
into my head?

Hey, isn't that risky?

I think we should write
a vaccine before we...

The problem with vaccines is that you can't
write one until after it manifests symptoms.

Sad but true.

Okay, I've got you
fully backed up.

Just to be safe, partition off
your cyberbrain's analysis sectors.

Right.

This footage was recorded
by accident 22 minutes ago...

...by the IR-System along
Nagasaki Coastal Sector B.

Son of a... Where the hell
has he been hiding?

If he hasn't changed
prosthetic bodies,

it might mean that he had shut down
until his organic parts could regenerate.

We may never get a chance
like this again.

I requested that the Kyushu P.D. step up
their surveillance across the entire island.

Fly down to Nagasaki at once
and arrest this man.

Hey... Borma?
Are you okay?

Hey!

C'mon, this can't
be right!

I'll do a forced
program shutdown.

Hey. Borma?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

So? What was
in there?

It was no big deal. The file just
had a badly-written essay in it.

Nothing but an essay?

If that man is the same one
who attacked the Prime Minister,

there's a good chance that the factor
that triggered the Individual Eleven...

...is still saved inside his head,
just like the Chief said.

Long-range sniping
is an option,

but those PKF models are
immortal prosthetic bodies...

...whose components
operate independently.

You can't stop them unless
you shoot them in the head.

In that case, we'll get in close
and use good old brute force.

If it comes down to it, we can use this
and bring just his head back with us.

Quite the sadist,
aren't we?

Maybe it doesn't manifest
just by downloading the file...

Yeah, there'd be no point if
you unintentionally spread it...

...and turned everybody into
the Individual Eleven.

Maybe there's some other
factor involved.

How's it coming?

We're not having
much luck.

The plan of Gohda's that
the Major stumbled across...

...in her dive investigation
is extremely credible.

It's lit the fuse on the
refugee powder keg.

That guy's guilty,
no two ways about it.

Plus, he's the kind of guy who's just dying
to let a third party know that he's behind it.

But until this thing manifests,
we can't prove one damn word of it.

I just wish we could get our hands on an
original copy of the Individual Eleven essay.

Yeah, but nobody's never found a copy,
not even in those earlier investigations, right?

How about trying to find
a print-media copy, then?

The original text copy might
still be out there somewhere.

Maybe you're right...

I think I know a likely place.
Head out there and see what you can find.

Understood.

Okay, we'll leave that
end of things to you.

Borma and I will try running another
structural analysis...

...on Kawashima's external memories
from top to bottom.

'Cause right now,
this is our only lead.

All right, I'll leave you to it.
Let's go.

Stop that.

Save those feelings
for what we're about to do.

I agree.

It looks like the others
are arriving.

There's not much time.

Right.

You lost them?

Yes, ma'am.

We were able to verify from
the expressway's IR-System...

...that he was headed
towards Kagoshima.

We believe there is a possibility that he
left the car and snuck into a cargo truck...

...when he pulled into a rest stop, and then
the car switched over to automatic drive.

It appears that surveillance center's personnel
continued to track the car, instead.

What direction was his car
headed in after that?

It got off at the interchange
and headed towards Fukuoka.

What about hacking the cars A.I.
and doing a back trace?

The instant we tried to make contact,
it disengaged from the net.

So, he knows a thing or two
about electronic warfare, huh?

Well, well.

I want you guys to track down all of the
freight trucks in that image and locate him.

Understood, ma'am.

So, what now?

We go to
Kagoshima.

What if this is a trap designed
to make us think he went there?

If we play it by the odds,
he's going to Kagoshima.

Is this everyone?

No one who shares in the individual will
would come any later than this.

Section Chief Aramaki sent me.
My name is Togusa.

Yes, he told me
you were coming.

He said you were interested in seeing an
original text copy of The Individual Eleven?

Yes, sir. I wasn't able to find it
anywhere on the net.

I'm not surprised.

The fact of the matter is that The Individual
Eleven is an extremely rare book,

of which only 20 copies
were printed.

It was written just before
Patrick Sylvestre's death,

at a time when he got himself involved
in the Romanian revolution.

I expect that there are any number of translated
editions available in reprints right now...

Yes, but it seems like the author himself
put the essay under lock and key...

...because he was never able to classify
Japan's May 15th Incident as a revolution.

But I've heard that his ideas, such as using
Noh drama as a metaphor for revolution,

haven't lost any of their brilliance,
not even today.

I see that you didn't come here
out of intellectual snobbery.

All right, then.

Mr. Aramaki vouches for you, so I suppose
I'll make an exception and show it to you.

I appreciate it, sir.

How's it going?

It looks like I've
earned his trust.

Still, I have to say that I'm amazed you know
a crotchety old college professor like this guy.

The times may change, but you can
never have too many contacts.

True enough...

That's odd.

I've never taken it out of this room
in all the time that I've had it...

Um, it doesn't have to be the original.
A photocopy or reissue would be fine.

I don't see it anywhere
for some reason...

By the way, what have you done
to serve the cause?

The only thing I've done is stab and kill
a traitorous assemblyman...

...who was advocating a reconciliation policy
in regards to the refugee issue.

What about you?

We dove into JNN-TV's accounting net
and made it look like...

...they were misappropriating
refugee aid donations.

We took more a direct action
in our call for refugee liberation.

The bombing of the "Return the
Refugees Society" aid group.

That was our service
to the cause.

The bombing of the Return the Refugees
Society was all over the news,

but that only resulted in the
severing of ties between refugees.

We eliminated a true enemy of the state.
A traitor to our country.

I targeted an NPO that provided free
prosthetic bodies to refugees.

The bombing ended
in failure, though.

I'll admit that killing enemies
of the state is good sport,

but the important thing is to sever the lifelines
of the refugees who are to be liberated.

What have you
done, then?

I took the head of
a net-bank president.

You were the one who killed
Chairman Ichihiro Jima,

the net-bank founder who amassed a fortune
even though he started out as a refugee?!

That was you?!

My crime might not live up to yours in the sense
of severing the lifelines of the refugees,

but in terms of creating a shockwave in
public opinion, mine is second to none.

I'm the one who killed the popular
cyber-rapper Densetsu.

And one other crime.

I was also the one who leaked the bluff
that the refugees were going to launch...

...a raid on the fuel rods excavated from the
government's hidden nuclear power plant.

Impressive!

That had a profound psychological impact
on citizen and refugee alike, all right.

Densetsu was a psychological
pillar to refugee youths.

When they lost him, it's only natural for anger
to take root in their hearts.

That, and a you circulated a bluff
that would trigger an uprising?

After what you've done, our own
deeds pale in comparison.

I'm sad to say...

But in the sense of severing
the lifelines of the refugees,

our act of taking the life of
a treasonous doctor is no different.

What have you done
for the cause?

I tried to assassinate
Kayabuki.

I see you chose
an audacious method.

But I haven't heard anything
about such an attack.

They probably ignored it, just as they ignored
the Individual Eleven's claims of responsibility.

It's of no importance.

Setting that aside, though, this refugee
liberation that you speak of...

It seems to be nothing more
than granting them despair.

Why is that?

We will sever their support from traitors
to our state and from their own comrades,

and give them liberation
in the form of independence.

Because that is the most effective
means of forcing our citizens...

...to realize on their own the presence
of these foreign bodies, the refugees.

You disagree?

Say, Ishikawa.

Have you read all of
Sylvestre's essays?

Yeah, except for The Individual Eleven.
Why do you ask?

How about you, Chief?
To tell you the truth, I haven't read them.

I've real all of them except for
The Individual Eleven, too.

Well, there probably aren't all that many people
who have read them all in this day and age.

You wouldn't
think so.

But it's clear that this
Kawashima guy had read it.

Not only that, but he'd uploaded it
to his external memory...

...and probably had every
last word memorized.

What is it?

Could that be it?

That must be the factor that
causes the virus to manifest!

Probably.

Tachikoma. Pull together all the files
in there that deal with Sylvestre's...

...Collected Preliminary Essays
on Revolution.

Roger!

Major! We found him!

This image was taken at 2:32 PM at the
Kagoshima War Dead Memorial Tower.

Okay, set course for the
War Dead Memorial!

Roger. Setting course for
the War Dead Memorial.

Chief, I struck out
over here, too.

They don't have a copy of
The Individual Eleven, either.

If they don't have it there, I guess that means
we don't have anywhere else to look.

Togusa, come on back
for now.

If you can't find it, there's nothing
more you can do out there.

Yeah...

But there's still one other place that I can
think of. I'll come back after I check it out.

Understood.

We pulled
all the files!

Okay. Ready to give
this a try?

Yeah.

It's almost time.

By the way, who's going
to make the final speech?

The one who was best able to spread our will
would be the most appropriate.

Which would make it you,
I suppose.

While I believe that there are many
who contributed to our cause...

...among even our comrades
who did not come,

if everyone nominates me, then I will
gladly accept this great honor.

I assume you have
no objections?

No. But I do have
a favor to ask.

If it's not too much trouble,
could one of you...

...show me your copy of our bible,
The Individual Eleven?

Is yours a first edition?

Wait.

If it's the print number you're interested in,
mine is definitely a first edition.

Are you sure?

Y-Yes...

As I set out to come here today,
I had intended to come...

...with a copy of The Individual Eleven
tucked in my breast pocket.

But no matter how hard I looked,
I was unable to find it.

Why couldn't I?!

Please. Someone lend me
your copy of The Individual...

Hey, we're almost there.

Oops!

H-Hey, you're
that guy from...

Looks like you're in a big hurry. Actually,
I came here to ask you about something.

Am I glad
to see you!

Come with me!

Hey!

- Don't do it! Put it down!
- Please, don't do it!

What are you doing?!

See anything?

Nothing that's out
of the ordinary.

Maybe we really do need the
original copy of the final essay.

What the...?

Ishikawa!

Borma!

Tachikoma! Shut down Borma's cyberbrain
activity and keep him unconscious!

After that, flag that file just now as "Do not open"
and lock it behind a defense barrier array!

Roger!

It looks like we
hit the jackpot...

Chief.

You have an urgent call
from the Home Affairs Ministry.

Patch it through
to the Dive Room!

Roger.

What in the...

What the hell was that guy
doing down here?

Major, head to the Kyushu radio tower
at once! He's turned up there!

What's going on?

I don't know, but they're showing him
on channel double-three!

They found him?

Hey, are you getting this? I
What did they say? Get him on camera!

What the...?

Swords! They're swinging
swords, and...

Their heads! They just chopped off
each other's heads!

One by one, they...
They're killing each other!

What an unbelievable sight!

These men who have appeared on the roof
seem to have killed one another with swords!

Okay, calm down.
I came here to talk, that's all.

Stay away from me.

You're familiar with an essay called
The Individual Eleven, right?

There was never an essay called
The Individual Eleven! It never existed!

All that exists is a manufactured ideology
called the Individual Eleven.

I am the Individual Eleven!
The time has come at last!

Call an ambulance!
Hurry!

Finding out a galaxy...

...of planets and stars within me...

Listening to each of them...

...singing the same silent melody...

I've never seen such beauty...

In possibility...

No speck of doubt or fear...

Wake up!

I hear a voice,

hear a voice calling out to me...

I see inside,

see the light now ever holding me...

All the truth, all I need...

...to make of this reality, it's inside...

The beauty within the shell...

I hear a voice,

hear a voice calling out to me...

I see inside,

see the light now ever holding me...

All the truth, all I need...

...to make of this reality, it's inside...

Right here within the shell...
