Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,421 --> 00:00:07,381
AS I DANCED, THE BEAUTIFUL LADY
WAS INTOXICATED.
2
00:00:07,464 --> 00:00:09,882
AS I DANCED,
THE SHINING MOON RESOUNDED.
3
00:00:09,968 --> 00:00:12,760
MAKING LOVE,
A GOD DESCENDS.
4
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:15,680
THE DAWN BREAKS AND A WHITE'S
THRUSH SINGS SORROWFULLY.
5
00:00:15,765 --> 00:00:18,391
THE DISTANT GOD
MAY GIVE US BLESSING.
6
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:27,484
...in the C-1 3 district
of Newport City.
7
00:00:27,568 --> 00:00:31,237
The airspace over this area
will be closed. Repeat:
8
00:00:31,321 --> 00:00:34,198
To all patrolling air units.
A 208 is in progress...
9
00:00:34,325 --> 00:00:36,243
...in the C-1 3 district
of Newport City.
10
00:00:36,326 --> 00:00:39,412
The airspace over this area
will be closed. Repeat...
11
00:01:14,364 --> 00:01:16,450
There's nothing to worry about.
12
00:01:16,533 --> 00:01:19,495
You can try it again
once you're in our country.
13
00:01:19,579 --> 00:01:21,746
"Try it again"?
14
00:01:21,831 --> 00:01:24,665
Just as there's no such thing
as a bug-free program...
15
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:28,712
...there's no program
that can't be debugged. Am I wrong?
16
00:01:28,796 --> 00:01:30,838
You don't understand.
17
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:33,591
We still don't know
if it really is a bug.
18
00:01:33,676 --> 00:01:35,968
Project 2501 's
original purpose was--
19
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:39,097
Major, Section 6
is ready to move in.
20
00:01:41,183 --> 00:01:43,435
- Major!
- I hear you.
21
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:47,647
There's a lot of static
in your brain.
22
00:01:47,731 --> 00:01:49,858
It's that time of the month.
23
00:01:59,284 --> 00:02:02,162
Won't there be trouble if Section 9
butts in on Section 6's operation?
24
00:02:02,246 --> 00:02:04,206
That diplomat's a pretty
well-known bastard.
25
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:07,417
Even if they catch him there,
all they can do is deport him.
26
00:02:07,501 --> 00:02:13,173
We're the only ones
who can get our hands dirty.
27
00:02:13,258 --> 00:02:15,800
They're moving. Take us over
to the extraction point.
28
00:02:58,468 --> 00:03:00,554
What? The police?
29
00:03:07,895 --> 00:03:11,397
Stop it! Who told you to
open fire?! Drop your guns!
30
00:03:15,569 --> 00:03:19,239
I have diplomatic immunity!
Let me see who's in charge!
31
00:03:19,324 --> 00:03:21,574
Transporting a listed programmer
out of the country...
32
00:03:21,658 --> 00:03:24,243
...violates our
arms export treaty.
33
00:03:24,329 --> 00:03:28,456
I could also have you
charged with kidnapping.
34
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:30,292
Give the man up.
35
00:03:30,376 --> 00:03:33,002
I'm afraid not. He's applied
for political asylum with us...
36
00:03:33,086 --> 00:03:35,923
...and he's already signed
a statement to that effect!
37
00:03:36,007 --> 00:03:38,216
- When?!
- I don't have to tell you.
38
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:40,843
By right of international law,
my country can...
39
00:03:40,969 --> 00:03:43,388
...offer him protection
and right of safe passage.
40
00:03:44,432 --> 00:03:46,849
The document is on file
at our embassy.
41
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:48,769
I'll transfer a copy to you
in a few days.
42
00:03:48,853 --> 00:03:51,271
Are you sure about this?
They won't take you back alive.
43
00:03:51,396 --> 00:03:53,231
I must ask that you
watch what you say.
44
00:03:53,316 --> 00:03:55,901
Our country is
a peace-loving democracy.
45
00:03:55,985 --> 00:03:57,319
Is that a fact?
46
00:04:00,114 --> 00:04:02,157
Out the window! Shoot!
47
00:04:12,293 --> 00:04:14,711
Thermoptic camouflage...
48
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:04,208
This is a rare pleasure,
Mr. Aramaki.
49
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:07,044
What can the Foreign Ministry
do for Section 9?
50
00:09:07,129 --> 00:09:09,089
What are these secret talks
you've scheduled with...
51
00:09:09,173 --> 00:09:11,216
...the Gavel Republic
for tomorrow?
52
00:09:11,299 --> 00:09:13,259
The usual. Foreign aid.
53
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:16,263
The new government reopened
the request after the revolution.
54
00:09:16,346 --> 00:09:18,932
They claim to be
more democratic...
55
00:09:19,015 --> 00:09:21,768
...but they'll probably be
as bad as the last bunch.
56
00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:24,395
Giving them money
they don't earn will help nobody.
57
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,147
They consider it reparation
for past exploitation and won't thank--
58
00:09:26,231 --> 00:09:28,482
And what will the government do?
59
00:09:28,567 --> 00:09:31,068
The problem is that
we have the leader of...
60
00:09:31,153 --> 00:09:33,863
...the old junta here
looking for political asylum.
61
00:09:33,947 --> 00:09:35,740
Colonel Maless, right?
62
00:09:35,825 --> 00:09:38,909
So do we throw him out
and grant them the aid?
63
00:09:38,995 --> 00:09:42,288
Or do we publicly recognize him
as a refugee and cut the aid?
64
00:09:42,373 --> 00:09:44,832
Not an easy decision to make.
65
00:09:45,875 --> 00:09:48,669
Personally, if I could find
a politically acceptable reason...
66
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,716
...I'd have the man deported
in a heartbeat.
67
00:10:00,390 --> 00:10:03,643
Oh, yes, thanks for your help
with that programmer defection.
68
00:10:03,727 --> 00:10:07,105
Nakamura over in Section 6
said he was grateful.
69
00:10:07,188 --> 00:10:10,399
After all, we in the diplomatic corps
have to keep our hands clean.
70
00:10:15,239 --> 00:10:17,282
Accessed.
71
00:10:17,365 --> 00:10:20,118
We've lost response.
How's her brainwave output look?
72
00:10:20,201 --> 00:10:23,621
Normal. Switching over
the virtual experience mode pattern.
73
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:27,833
The Foreign Minister's
interpreter.
74
00:10:27,918 --> 00:10:32,422
23 minutes ago, her cyber-brain
was hacked via telephone connection.
75
00:10:34,299 --> 00:10:36,967
Just as Foreign Intelligence
division predicted...
76
00:10:37,052 --> 00:10:39,095
...the Puppet Master
has begun to break into...
77
00:10:39,179 --> 00:10:40,679
...every terminal
on the network.
78
00:10:40,764 --> 00:10:43,140
Pattern analysis shows
a high probability that...
79
00:10:43,267 --> 00:10:46,352
...he's attempting to disrupt
secret talks with Gavel.
80
00:10:46,437 --> 00:10:49,272
We've placed everyone attending
the talks under surveillance.
81
00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:52,734
Probably trying
to hack her ghost...
82
00:10:52,817 --> 00:10:55,861
...so she'll kill people
at the meeting.
83
00:10:55,946 --> 00:11:00,825
How long till he hacks through
her protection and reaches her ghost?
84
00:11:00,951 --> 00:11:05,580
He's using an old-style HA-3.
I'd say about two hours.
85
00:11:05,664 --> 00:11:07,706
After that, we'll have to cut
the line to eliminate all risk.
86
00:11:07,832 --> 00:11:11,126
Batou and Ishikawa are in a car,
tracing the signal.
87
00:11:11,211 --> 00:11:13,129
Rendezvous with them.
88
00:11:29,938 --> 00:11:33,399
The Puppet Master.
That phantom hacker, right?
89
00:11:33,484 --> 00:11:35,735
They think he's an American.
90
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:38,613
Age, sex, personal history...
everything about him is unknown.
91
00:11:38,697 --> 00:11:41,740
Since last winter he's been
mainly active in the EC.
92
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:44,451
Internationally wanted
on dozens of charges of...
93
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,288
...stock manipulation,
spying, political engineering...
94
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:50,917
...terrorism, and violation
of cyber-brain privacy.
95
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:54,211
He's ghost-hacked so many people
to carry out his crimes...
96
00:11:54,296 --> 00:11:56,755
...he's earned the code name
"The Puppet Master."
97
00:11:56,841 --> 00:11:59,591
This is the first instance of him
operating in this country.
98
00:11:59,677 --> 00:12:03,929
So if he's so hot,
why's he using an old HA-3?
99
00:12:04,014 --> 00:12:09,686
Well, a newer type would be
less detectable and be harder to trace.
100
00:12:09,812 --> 00:12:14,231
But it could also implicate the former
junta leader, Colonel Maless.
101
00:12:14,316 --> 00:12:19,320
So he's using an older type
to keep us from suspecting him.
102
00:12:19,404 --> 00:12:23,700
Or somebody else
wants us to think that.
103
00:12:23,783 --> 00:12:27,245
Maless may just be another pawn
in this whole thing.
104
00:12:27,328 --> 00:12:31,291
Now you're overthinking this.
There's no evidence of that.
105
00:12:31,375 --> 00:12:32,959
Evidence?
106
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:38,255
I just have a whisper...
A whisper from my ghost.
107
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:41,384
By the way, are you
still using that revolver?
108
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:44,303
Afraid both guns
in a two-man team'll jam up?
109
00:12:44,388 --> 00:12:46,306
I like the Matever.
110
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:48,390
Since I depend on your backup,
I think stopping power is...
111
00:12:48,475 --> 00:12:50,684
...more important than
personal preference.
112
00:12:50,769 --> 00:12:52,770
Especially since it's
my ass on the line.
113
00:12:52,855 --> 00:12:55,523
Use the Zastaber instead.
114
00:12:55,649 --> 00:12:58,567
Major, I've been
meaning to ask you.
115
00:12:58,652 --> 00:13:02,363
Why'd you ask for a guy like me
to be transferred in from the police?
116
00:13:02,447 --> 00:13:03,907
Because you're a guy like you.
117
00:13:04,033 --> 00:13:05,533
Huh?
118
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:10,413
An honest cop with a clean record.
And you've got a regular family.
119
00:13:10,498 --> 00:13:14,208
With the exception of your
cyber-net implants, your brain's real.
120
00:13:14,293 --> 00:13:16,836
No matter how powerful
we may be fighting-wise...
121
00:13:16,921 --> 00:13:19,755
...a system where all the parts
react the same way...
122
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,884
...is a system
with a fatal flaw.
123
00:13:23,927 --> 00:13:25,385
Like individual,
like organization.
124
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:27,846
Overspecialization
leads to death.
125
00:13:27,972 --> 00:13:29,349
That's all.
126
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:43,488
- Come on!
- All right!
127
00:13:48,409 --> 00:13:50,828
We're already 40 seconds
behind schedule!
128
00:13:50,955 --> 00:13:54,249
- Gimme five more seconds.
- Of all the lousy luck...
129
00:14:00,755 --> 00:14:02,298
Hey, sorry.
130
00:14:02,423 --> 00:14:05,426
My last partner, the one
they busted for working without...
131
00:14:05,552 --> 00:14:07,886
...a permit,
was a better worker than you!
132
00:14:10,182 --> 00:14:12,725
You're actually trying
to ghost-hack your own wife...
133
00:14:12,851 --> 00:14:14,894
...just to see
what's on her mind?
134
00:14:14,979 --> 00:14:19,481
She doesn't have any time for me
and now she wants a divorce.
135
00:14:19,567 --> 00:14:22,610
On top of that, my daughter,
my only child...
136
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,988
...thinks I'm cheating
on her mother!
137
00:14:25,072 --> 00:14:28,490
So how'd you get your hands
on cracking software?
138
00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:33,413
From some programmer.
A really nice guy I met in a bar.
139
00:14:33,496 --> 00:14:36,415
I told him my wife's lawyer
was keeping me from seeing her...
140
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:38,250
...and he said he'd help.
141
00:14:38,335 --> 00:14:41,086
Told me to access from different places
to keep from getting caught.
142
00:14:41,171 --> 00:14:42,880
Smart guy, huh?
143
00:14:47,886 --> 00:14:50,013
Asshole! Ya tryin' to
get yourself killed?!
144
00:14:50,096 --> 00:14:53,099
Looks like we aren't
the only busy people out here.
145
00:14:56,979 --> 00:14:57,979
Nobody here.
146
00:14:58,062 --> 00:15:00,398
What's the point?
Even if we trace the calls...
147
00:15:00,481 --> 00:15:03,192
...the guy's already gone
by the time we get there.
148
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:06,111
- Vicious cycle, huh?
- Quit complaining!
149
00:15:06,196 --> 00:15:08,615
Kusanagi and Togusa are headed
for the next expected hack point.
150
00:15:08,698 --> 00:15:10,866
You two look for something there.
151
00:15:10,951 --> 00:15:12,368
Look for what?
152
00:15:12,452 --> 00:15:14,453
Anything.
153
00:15:14,538 --> 00:15:16,831
Fuckin' old coot.
He tells us to snoop around?!
154
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,335
Wait a sec.
155
00:15:20,418 --> 00:15:22,711
Damn. Missed him.
156
00:15:22,796 --> 00:15:25,423
Hey, Pops. Did you see
a garbage truck go by here?
157
00:15:25,506 --> 00:15:27,424
Who wants to know?
158
00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:29,134
Did you see it or not?
159
00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:32,931
Yeah, but they were gone
by the time I got my trash.
160
00:15:33,014 --> 00:15:35,642
One was using the phone,
so I thought I had time--
161
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:41,313
Uh, can you take this to them?
162
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,525
A garbage truck? Of course.
They move every seven minutes.
163
00:15:45,653 --> 00:15:49,822
Control! Get me the trash
collection routes for that sector!
164
00:15:59,832 --> 00:16:02,501
There are eight garbage trucks
operating in the target area.
165
00:16:04,504 --> 00:16:07,005
Target is a type C
collection truck, #79.
166
00:16:09,467 --> 00:16:11,385
Let me drive.
167
00:16:17,684 --> 00:16:21,854
He may be in contact with someone else.
Observe, but don't move in!
168
00:16:21,938 --> 00:16:24,023
Route data accessed.
169
00:16:24,149 --> 00:16:28,568
Hacking points traced and matched.
Target now stopped at next point.
170
00:16:30,364 --> 00:16:32,740
Confirm access via HA-3.
171
00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:40,373
Sorry, sorry.
172
00:16:40,456 --> 00:16:43,375
How about I do the trash
and you make the call on the next stop?
173
00:16:44,919 --> 00:16:45,919
Okay?
174
00:16:46,004 --> 00:16:48,338
Leave me out
of your little crime spree.
175
00:16:48,423 --> 00:16:50,966
Can't believe this
load of bullshit...
176
00:16:51,051 --> 00:16:54,386
- Do you have kids?
- Do I look like I do?
177
00:16:54,471 --> 00:16:56,596
Then you couldn't understand.
178
00:16:56,682 --> 00:16:59,017
My daughter's my life.
179
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:00,976
Take a look.
Isn't she just a little angel?
180
00:17:02,187 --> 00:17:05,230
I hate looking at other
people's family albums.
181
00:17:07,776 --> 00:17:11,112
Yeah, truck 79.
Oh, boss. What's up?
182
00:17:12,155 --> 00:17:15,074
The cops were checking our routes?
You wanna know why?
183
00:17:15,159 --> 00:17:17,492
How should I know?!
184
00:17:20,913 --> 00:17:24,375
They spotted the hack!
I gotta warn my friend!
185
00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:27,086
We're gonna have to
skip our next stop!
186
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:31,465
Target has deviated from route.
Increasing speed to next point.
187
00:17:31,549 --> 00:17:35,595
Is he on to us?
Didn't think he could see me.
188
00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:38,431
My accessing the sanitation department
network may have tipped him off.
189
00:17:38,515 --> 00:17:40,348
Should've used a back door.
190
00:17:40,433 --> 00:17:42,477
Too late. Go for the collar.
191
00:17:47,398 --> 00:17:48,482
You can drive now.
192
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,882
Jesus. He blew a perfectly good
armored van to shit.
193
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:58,344
He hosed us with high-velocity AP
rounds! That car door's no cover!
194
00:18:58,470 --> 00:19:01,138
In a sub machinegun?
The guy must be nuts.
195
00:19:15,695 --> 00:19:17,696
He's using
thermoptic camo too?!
196
00:19:17,780 --> 00:19:20,157
Keep after him!
I'll flank him from above!
197
00:19:21,535 --> 00:19:24,619
Togusa, if you're still alive,
arrest those two garbage men.
198
00:19:24,704 --> 00:19:26,204
Roger.
199
00:19:28,791 --> 00:19:30,459
This job just never lets up,
does it?
200
00:20:26,933 --> 00:20:29,184
Police! Everybody down!
201
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:31,848
All finished?
202
00:23:25,028 --> 00:23:27,113
You all set?
203
00:23:27,196 --> 00:23:30,240
That's what you get when you
overload the ammo rating.
204
00:23:30,325 --> 00:23:34,828
Frame's bent all to hell.
The barrel's shot too.
205
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:38,624
Doesn't matter if you arrest me.
I'm not gonna talk!
206
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:40,584
Talk?!
207
00:23:42,461 --> 00:23:47,215
And what would I ask a guy who
doesn't even know his own name?!
208
00:23:49,260 --> 00:23:51,220
Your mother's face.
209
00:23:51,304 --> 00:23:54,056
The place you grew up in.
210
00:23:54,141 --> 00:23:56,474
Memories of your childhood.
211
00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:00,019
Can you remember
any of those things?
212
00:24:07,487 --> 00:24:10,614
There's nothing sadder
than a puppet without a ghost.
213
00:24:10,699 --> 00:24:13,116
Especially the kind with red blood
running through them.
214
00:24:28,340 --> 00:24:30,800
We'll rush the place once the guys
in the helicopter are inside.
215
00:24:30,885 --> 00:24:33,636
Squad B goes around back,
the rest of you take the front.
216
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:38,893
Saito, have your men
pull the plugs on all their cars.
217
00:24:38,977 --> 00:24:41,269
Begin recording.
218
00:24:44,231 --> 00:24:46,942
Message from HQ, sir.
219
00:24:47,027 --> 00:24:50,112
We've ID'ed the guy
the Major collared.
220
00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:51,572
Go on.
221
00:24:51,655 --> 00:24:54,325
Tsuan Gen Fang. Age: 28.
222
00:24:54,409 --> 00:24:58,913
Illegal alien.
Weapons violations. Three priors.
223
00:24:59,955 --> 00:25:04,501
Was hiding out with a militant
refugee group up till a month ago.
224
00:25:04,586 --> 00:25:08,005
One week ago,
because of his record...
225
00:25:08,088 --> 00:25:10,798
...he was contacted by a military
liaison in the Gavel embassy to...
226
00:25:10,884 --> 00:25:14,010
...attack the secret talks
we would be having with them.
227
00:25:14,095 --> 00:25:16,137
And the real story?
228
00:25:16,222 --> 00:25:21,268
Nickname: Corgi. Occupation:
a rather violent scrap dealer.
229
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:23,269
Guess you could
call him a thug.
230
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:26,856
We've checked the records
the local cops have on him...
231
00:25:28,151 --> 00:25:30,736
...but we can't find
any connection with Gavel.
232
00:25:31,738 --> 00:25:34,949
Another puppet from our friend
the Puppet Master.
233
00:25:35,032 --> 00:25:36,951
And what about Ishikawa?
234
00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:41,497
He's back. He's with Togusa
talking to that poor trashman.
235
00:25:43,959 --> 00:25:47,586
So what about the Puppet Master
on your end?
236
00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:51,048
How's he look to you?
237
00:25:54,802 --> 00:25:56,804
Like a puppet himself.
238
00:25:56,887 --> 00:25:59,973
- Squad B, in position.
- Squads A and C, ready.
239
00:26:00,057 --> 00:26:03,143
Ready to move in, sir.
240
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:05,186
Move in.
241
00:26:08,107 --> 00:26:10,776
What do you mean,
a "virtual experience"?
242
00:26:10,859 --> 00:26:13,988
I mean your wife, your daughter,
the divorce, the affair...
243
00:26:14,071 --> 00:26:17,199
They're all fake memories.
Like a dream.
244
00:26:17,325 --> 00:26:22,203
Someone was using you to
ghost-hack a government official.
245
00:26:22,329 --> 00:26:25,082
No. That's impossible!
246
00:26:25,165 --> 00:26:27,459
I've been to your apartment.
247
00:26:27,544 --> 00:26:30,461
No one's there.
It's a one-room apartment.
248
00:26:30,547 --> 00:26:33,673
Yeah, I moved there
when we split up--
249
00:26:33,758 --> 00:26:37,595
You've been living there
for 1 0 years!
250
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:40,138
You have no wife, no child.
251
00:26:40,222 --> 00:26:43,349
Your family exists
only in your mind.
252
00:26:44,685 --> 00:26:49,355
Look. This is the picture
you showed to your partner.
253
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:51,900
Who is it of?
254
00:26:51,984 --> 00:26:55,778
But she was there.
My daughter--
255
00:26:55,864 --> 00:26:58,656
Smiling like an angel...
256
00:26:58,741 --> 00:27:01,160
What's your daughter's name?
257
00:27:01,286 --> 00:27:03,912
Where did you meet
your wife and when?
258
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:07,082
How many years ago
did you get married?
259
00:27:07,166 --> 00:27:10,877
Who do you see in the picture?
260
00:27:13,213 --> 00:27:16,884
How do I get rid
of these fake memories?
261
00:27:16,968 --> 00:27:19,178
I'm sorry. With our
current technology...
262
00:27:19,261 --> 00:27:21,346
There've been two successful
deprogrammings...
263
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:23,682
...but I can't
recommend it to you.
264
00:27:23,767 --> 00:27:25,517
I'm really sorry.
265
00:27:25,602 --> 00:27:27,978
Virtual experiences, dreams...
266
00:27:28,063 --> 00:27:33,651
All data that exists
is both reality and fantasy.
267
00:27:35,111 --> 00:27:38,113
Whichever it is, the data
a person collects in a lifetime...
268
00:27:38,198 --> 00:27:40,740
...is a tiny bit
compared to the whole.
269
00:28:52,396 --> 00:28:55,941
A cyborg who goes diving
in her spare time.
270
00:28:56,025 --> 00:29:00,319
That can't be a good sign.
When did you start doing this?
271
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:08,912
Doesn't the ocean scare you?
If the floaters stopped working.
272
00:29:08,997 --> 00:29:13,000
Then I'd probably die.
Or would you dive in after me?
273
00:29:14,711 --> 00:29:17,336
No one forced you
to come out here with me.
274
00:29:17,422 --> 00:29:18,881
I just--
275
00:29:51,705 --> 00:29:55,041
So what's it feel like
when you go diving?
276
00:29:55,125 --> 00:29:58,503
Didn't you go through
underwater training?
277
00:29:58,587 --> 00:30:01,088
I'm not talking about
doing it in a damned pool.
278
00:30:01,173 --> 00:30:05,510
I feel fear. Anxiety.
Loneliness. Darkness.
279
00:30:05,595 --> 00:30:08,180
And perhaps even... hope.
280
00:30:08,263 --> 00:30:11,016
Hope?
In the darkness of the sea?
281
00:30:12,227 --> 00:30:14,185
As I float up
towards the surface...
282
00:30:14,269 --> 00:30:18,606
...I almost feel as though
I could change into something else.
283
00:30:24,614 --> 00:30:27,782
As though you want
to quit Section 9?
284
00:30:30,994 --> 00:30:34,163
Batou, how much of your
original body do you have left?
285
00:30:34,249 --> 00:30:35,624
Are you drunk?
286
00:30:35,708 --> 00:30:38,167
Convenient, isn't it?
287
00:30:38,252 --> 00:30:41,255
With the merest thought,
the chemical plants inside our bodies...
288
00:30:41,338 --> 00:30:45,550
...could metabolize all the alcohol
in our blood in about 1 0 seconds...
289
00:30:45,634 --> 00:30:48,804
...allowing us to sit here
drinking while on stand-by.
290
00:30:48,887 --> 00:30:52,557
If a technological feat
is possible, man will do it.
291
00:30:52,642 --> 00:30:54,559
Almost as though it's wired
into the core of our being.
292
00:30:54,644 --> 00:30:57,980
Metabolic control.
Enhanced sensory perception.
293
00:30:58,064 --> 00:31:00,773
Improved reflexes
and muscle capacity.
294
00:31:00,858 --> 00:31:03,734
Vastly increased data
processing speed and capacity.
295
00:31:03,819 --> 00:31:08,490
All improvements thanks to our
cyber-brains and cyborg bodies.
296
00:31:08,575 --> 00:31:12,118
So what if we can't live
without high-level maintenance?
297
00:31:12,202 --> 00:31:14,162
We have nothing
to complain about.
298
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:18,125
It doesn't mean we've sold
our souls to Section 9.
299
00:31:18,209 --> 00:31:21,545
We do have the right
to resign if we choose.
300
00:31:21,628 --> 00:31:24,506
Provided we give the government
back our cyborg shells...
301
00:31:24,590 --> 00:31:26,549
...and the memories they hold.
302
00:31:26,634 --> 00:31:30,971
Just as there are many parts
needed to make a human human...
303
00:31:31,055 --> 00:31:34,182
...there's a remarkable number
of things needed to make...
304
00:31:34,267 --> 00:31:36,183
...an individual what they are.
305
00:31:36,269 --> 00:31:37,894
A face to distinguish
yourself from others.
306
00:31:37,979 --> 00:31:39,520
A voice you aren't
aware of yourself.
307
00:31:39,646 --> 00:31:41,480
The hand you see when you awaken.
308
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:44,526
The memories of childhood,
the feelings for the future.
309
00:31:44,611 --> 00:31:47,487
That's not all.
There's the expanse of the data net...
310
00:31:47,572 --> 00:31:50,198
...my cyber-brain can access.
311
00:31:50,282 --> 00:31:52,200
All of that goes into
making me what I am.
312
00:31:52,285 --> 00:31:55,828
Giving rise to a consciousness
that I call "me."
313
00:31:55,913 --> 00:31:59,875
And simultaneously
confining "me" within set limits.
314
00:32:04,756 --> 00:32:08,215
Is that why you dive into the sea
with a body that only sinks?!
315
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:11,678
What is it you see
in the water's darkness?
316
00:32:13,056 --> 00:32:17,017
"For now we see through
a glass, darkly."
317
00:32:25,151 --> 00:32:27,318
That was you, wasn't it?
318
00:36:35,568 --> 00:36:36,985
Sensors: restarted.
319
00:36:37,068 --> 00:36:39,070
Auxiliary computer link: check.
320
00:36:39,155 --> 00:36:41,155
Visual sensors: online.
321
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,117
- Cyborg body signal?
- Output: nominal.
322
00:36:50,373 --> 00:36:53,501
Can't you call in
if you're going to be late?
323
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,632
We're all set.
Should we hook her up?
324
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:26,076
Okay, looking good. Kill it!
325
00:37:26,159 --> 00:37:29,079
Be in my office
in three minutes.
326
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:38,588
Since you were late,
I'll explain what's going on.
327
00:37:38,672 --> 00:37:42,634
Two hours ago, a Megatech Body
assembly line in Newport City...
328
00:37:42,717 --> 00:37:45,219
...just started up
and produced a cyborg shell.
329
00:37:45,304 --> 00:37:47,972
By the time the guys in charge
realized what was happening...
330
00:37:48,056 --> 00:37:51,059
...the body had escaped.
331
00:37:51,143 --> 00:37:54,144
Then, just as they had thrown up
a cordon to catch the thing...
332
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:56,313
...we got a call from
a conscientious truck driver that...
333
00:37:56,398 --> 00:38:00,402
...he'd just run down a naked lady
wandering around on the highway.
334
00:38:00,485 --> 00:38:02,862
Which brings us to here.
335
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:05,990
I've heard Megatech Body's
tied pretty closely to the government...
336
00:38:06,074 --> 00:38:08,994
...and that all the shells
made there are secret.
337
00:38:09,077 --> 00:38:11,036
If a hacker did this,
he had to swim through...
338
00:38:11,121 --> 00:38:13,331
...some of the heaviest
protection around.
339
00:38:13,416 --> 00:38:15,375
And that isn't the only problem.
340
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:23,257
Of course, it doesn't have
an organic brain in its head...
341
00:38:23,342 --> 00:38:26,302
...but we've detected
what looks like a ghost...
342
00:38:26,387 --> 00:38:28,054
...in the auxiliary
computer brain.
343
00:38:29,849 --> 00:38:32,266
It isn't unlike the virtual
ghost-line you get...
344
00:38:32,351 --> 00:38:34,811
...when a real ghost
is dubbed off.
345
00:38:34,894 --> 00:38:37,813
But it shows none of the data
degradation dubbing would produce.
346
00:38:37,898 --> 00:38:42,693
Well, until we map the barrier
perimeter and dive in there...
347
00:38:42,777 --> 00:38:45,447
...we won't know anything
for sure.
348
00:38:45,530 --> 00:38:48,407
Anyhow, better get back
to checking her over.
349
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:49,534
Good work.
350
00:38:49,617 --> 00:38:52,411
Time to rip her apart.
351
00:38:57,543 --> 00:39:02,380
Come on, you guys don't think
there's a ghost in that thing.
352
00:39:02,465 --> 00:39:04,465
It's possible.
353
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:08,177
I've heard celluloid dolls
can have a soul.
354
00:39:08,262 --> 00:39:12,806
And this thing's stuffed
full of neurotech devices.
355
00:39:12,891 --> 00:39:15,309
I wouldn't be surprised
if it had a soul.
356
00:39:16,519 --> 00:39:20,023
Since you're new here,
you probably don't know.
357
00:39:20,106 --> 00:39:24,027
The Major's shell
was also made by Megatech Body.
358
00:39:24,110 --> 00:39:27,989
Not just hers.
Me and Ishikawa for one...
359
00:39:28,074 --> 00:39:31,326
...along with Saito and others
all need maintenance and such.
360
00:39:31,409 --> 00:39:34,329
Outside of you and the Chief,
everyone in Section 9...
361
00:39:34,413 --> 00:39:37,373
...needs to make use
of their kind of services.
362
00:39:37,458 --> 00:39:42,003
Maybe you can see now why we all look
a little worried, Togusa.
363
00:39:42,088 --> 00:39:44,963
Assuming the enemy is an outsider,
we can't know for sure...
364
00:39:45,048 --> 00:39:46,965
...whether he's in
that cyborg body or not.
365
00:39:47,050 --> 00:39:49,010
But he cracked through
the protection...
366
00:39:49,094 --> 00:39:51,304
...around some of our
most secret files...
367
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:53,972
...and managed to send a program
with a ghost-line on it through.
368
00:39:54,057 --> 00:39:58,061
And in a way that was easy to spot.
What's he after?!
369
00:39:58,144 --> 00:39:59,978
Let's leave that for now.
370
00:40:00,106 --> 00:40:04,525
Togusa, get over to Megatech
and help Ishikawa check the place out...
371
00:40:04,610 --> 00:40:06,568
Batou, I've closed down
the nets...
372
00:40:06,653 --> 00:40:09,697
...with files as sensitive
as Megatech's.
373
00:40:09,782 --> 00:40:12,992
I want you to double-check
the protection we have on them.
374
00:40:13,077 --> 00:40:17,038
I'll get a protection maze put together.
I'll dive tomorrow.
375
00:40:17,123 --> 00:40:20,541
You sure? We could force it
into another shell and let it swim.
376
00:40:21,585 --> 00:40:26,380
I have to see for myself
what's inside that thing.
377
00:40:26,465 --> 00:40:29,384
Don't let anyone else
dive in there before me!
378
00:40:33,097 --> 00:40:34,556
What's with her?
379
00:40:34,639 --> 00:40:37,474
I wrote in my team evaluations
that she's been acting weird...
380
00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:40,269
...ever since this Puppet Master
case fell into our laps.
381
00:40:40,353 --> 00:40:42,021
Do you even read them?!
382
00:40:43,148 --> 00:40:45,608
Chief, do you ever wonder
just how trustworthy the cyberdocs...
383
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:47,902
...who service your brain are?
384
00:40:47,987 --> 00:40:52,449
Cyber-brain technicians undergo
regular psychological testing.
385
00:40:52,532 --> 00:40:55,659
And security-cleared ones have
their private lives checked too.
386
00:40:55,744 --> 00:40:59,456
But the people who administer
those checks are only human.
387
00:40:59,581 --> 00:41:02,291
Once you doubt, you can't stop...
388
00:41:02,376 --> 00:41:06,838
Chief, a Mr. Nakamura from
the MFA treaties bureau to see you.
389
00:41:07,882 --> 00:41:08,922
Okay, send him up.
390
00:41:19,768 --> 00:41:21,768
Wasn't that fat guy...?
391
00:41:21,853 --> 00:41:26,733
Nakamura, chief of Section 6.
Foreign Affairs treaties bureau.
392
00:41:26,817 --> 00:41:28,650
I don't know who
the white guy with him was.
393
00:41:31,989 --> 00:41:33,780
I'm outta here.
394
00:41:33,865 --> 00:41:36,492
Tell Ishikawa
to keep cool, okay?
395
00:41:44,668 --> 00:41:46,251
So what's your problem?
396
00:41:46,336 --> 00:41:48,795
Doesn't that cyborg body
look like me?
397
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,007
- No, it doesn't.
- Not the face or the figure.
398
00:41:52,092 --> 00:41:53,217
What then?
399
00:41:53,302 --> 00:41:57,679
Maybe all full-replacement cyborgs
like me start wondering this.
400
00:41:59,349 --> 00:42:02,143
That perhaps the real me
died a long time ago...
401
00:42:02,268 --> 00:42:06,271
...and I'm a replicant made with
a cyborg body and computer brain.
402
00:42:06,356 --> 00:42:11,152
Or maybe there never was
a real "me" to begin with.
403
00:42:11,237 --> 00:42:14,364
You've got real brain matter
in that titanium skull of yours.
404
00:42:14,447 --> 00:42:16,990
And you get treated like
a real person, don't you?
405
00:42:17,076 --> 00:42:20,077
There's no person
who's ever seen their own brain.
406
00:42:20,161 --> 00:42:24,623
I believe I exist based only
on what my environment tells me.
407
00:42:24,708 --> 00:42:27,626
Don't you believe
in your own ghost?
408
00:42:27,710 --> 00:42:30,338
And what if a computer brain
could generate a ghost...
409
00:42:30,422 --> 00:42:32,673
...and harbor a soul?
410
00:42:32,757 --> 00:42:36,427
On what basis then
do I believe in myself?
411
00:42:43,268 --> 00:42:45,353
Bullshit.
412
00:42:47,063 --> 00:42:53,443
I'll see for myself what's in that body.
With my own ghost!
413
00:42:54,737 --> 00:42:57,614
We're both busy men,
so let's keep this short.
414
00:42:57,699 --> 00:42:59,492
I would prefer that.
415
00:42:59,577 --> 00:43:01,952
I'm here to take the contents
of that cyborg body.
416
00:43:02,036 --> 00:43:05,164
In return, we absolve Section 9
of all responsibilities in the case.
417
00:43:06,416 --> 00:43:07,791
The Foreign Minister's signature.
418
00:43:19,722 --> 00:43:23,599
Security, whose official vehicles
are parked in the basement garage?
419
00:43:23,684 --> 00:43:29,105
They belong to Chief Nakamura
of the treaties bureau and a Dr. Willis.
420
00:43:29,188 --> 00:43:31,858
Give me the video record
of their entering the building.
421
00:43:40,659 --> 00:43:42,492
Replay, infra-red view.
422
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,052
One... Two... Three...
423
00:44:01,847 --> 00:44:06,809
Send me the pressure sensor records
for basement garage spaces B-7 and 8.
424
00:44:31,085 --> 00:44:35,088
- Major, this is Togusa. Code 0-9.
- What?
425
00:44:35,172 --> 00:44:38,715
Does Nakamura have some sort
of special cyborg body?
426
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,760
There are no cyborgs
in Section 6.
427
00:44:40,844 --> 00:44:43,054
Besides the diplomatic problems,
maintaining them...
428
00:44:43,137 --> 00:44:45,431
...is too much trouble
when they have to go overseas.
429
00:44:45,516 --> 00:44:48,393
So even if that tall guy
was a cyborg himself...
430
00:44:48,476 --> 00:44:51,728
...together they wouldn't weigh
more than half a ton, right?
431
00:44:51,813 --> 00:44:54,398
Pressure sensor data.
The garage?
432
00:44:54,483 --> 00:44:56,025
There are two VIP-mobiles here.
433
00:44:56,110 --> 00:44:59,027
But neither of them looks like
the type who'd drive himself.
434
00:44:59,112 --> 00:45:01,447
The security video
only shows the two of them...
435
00:45:01,532 --> 00:45:04,701
...but you know how sensitive
the entrance door sensors are.
436
00:45:04,784 --> 00:45:06,786
They took three full seconds
to close after them.
437
00:45:07,829 --> 00:45:12,083
It's illegal to use thermoptic camo
in a government building, right?
438
00:45:12,166 --> 00:45:14,751
It's a serious violation
of the National Security Act.
439
00:45:14,836 --> 00:45:19,548
Section 6 is up to something.
You all ready?
440
00:45:19,632 --> 00:45:21,425
If my Matever'll do.
441
00:45:58,963 --> 00:46:02,175
I don't need to remind you
that it's treason for you to...
442
00:46:02,259 --> 00:46:06,094
...be hiding something from me,
no matter how sensitive.
443
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:07,804
For both of us.
444
00:46:07,889 --> 00:46:11,516
Whatever the MFA may prefer, this case
is in Section 9's jurisdiction.
445
00:46:11,601 --> 00:46:16,521
But we wouldn't mind cooperating
if there was good reason to.
446
00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:19,400
Dr. Willis?
447
00:46:19,485 --> 00:46:22,778
Confirmed.
It's definitely him.
448
00:46:22,862 --> 00:46:24,489
"Him"?
449
00:46:24,572 --> 00:46:28,826
He's referring to the original
ghost block within the shell.
450
00:46:28,911 --> 00:46:31,704
Its sex remains undetermined,
and the use of the term "he"...
451
00:46:31,789 --> 00:46:34,998
...is merely a nickname
the good doctor has given it.
452
00:46:35,083 --> 00:46:36,751
Perhaps it's time
I introduced you.
453
00:46:36,835 --> 00:46:41,755
This is the most unique hacker
in the history of cyber-brain crime.
454
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,840
The Puppet Master.
455
00:46:45,427 --> 00:46:48,512
I believe you in Section 9
ran into him in that case...
456
00:46:48,597 --> 00:46:52,682
...involving the ghost-hack
on the Foreign Minister's translator.
457
00:46:52,768 --> 00:46:55,811
We in Section 6 have been
pursuing the Puppet Master...
458
00:46:55,896 --> 00:46:58,815
...with the utmost urgency
since he first appeared.
459
00:46:58,898 --> 00:47:01,858
We formed a project team
around Dr. Willis...
460
00:47:01,943 --> 00:47:05,320
...to analyze all data
on the Puppet Master's...
461
00:47:05,405 --> 00:47:08,865
...criminal tendencies
and behavior patterns.
462
00:47:08,951 --> 00:47:12,869
We then constructed special
anti-Puppet Master attack protection...
463
00:47:12,954 --> 00:47:16,666
...to lure him into
a secret cyborg body.
464
00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:19,835
You made him dive into a body
equipped with a cyber-brain...
465
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,420
...and then had his real body killed?
466
00:47:22,505 --> 00:47:24,382
Yes, exactly.
467
00:47:24,465 --> 00:47:27,175
He may have shown up
in your back yard...
468
00:47:27,260 --> 00:47:30,346
...but he was born in America.
And since we were cooperating...
469
00:47:30,429 --> 00:47:32,849
...with the Americans to catch him,
we want to take him back ourselves.
470
00:47:32,932 --> 00:47:34,516
Surely you've no objections.
471
00:47:34,601 --> 00:47:39,188
Leaving his unidentified corpse
to be found somewhere.
472
00:47:41,650 --> 00:47:43,400
There will be no corpse.
473
00:47:43,485 --> 00:47:47,697
Because, until now,
there never was a body.
474
00:47:47,822 --> 00:47:51,157
The sensors are active!
Why didn't you say so?!
475
00:47:51,242 --> 00:47:55,454
We've cut all external controls.
It's running on internal power.
476
00:47:55,581 --> 00:47:58,123
I may have entered
this cyborg body because...
477
00:47:58,208 --> 00:48:01,126
...I was unable to crack
Section 6's attack protection...
478
00:48:01,210 --> 00:48:05,380
...but it was of my own free will
that I came here.
479
00:48:05,465 --> 00:48:09,427
As an autonomous life form,
I request political asylum.
480
00:48:09,510 --> 00:48:11,429
A life form?
481
00:48:11,512 --> 00:48:14,222
Ridiculous! You're merely
a self-preserving program!
482
00:48:14,307 --> 00:48:17,684
By that argument, I submit
the DNA you carry...
483
00:48:17,768 --> 00:48:22,315
...is nothing more than
a self-preserving program itself.
484
00:48:22,398 --> 00:48:28,112
Life is like a node which is born
within the flow of information.
485
00:48:28,195 --> 00:48:32,365
As a species of life that carries DNA
as its memory system...
486
00:48:32,451 --> 00:48:35,744
...man gains his individuality
from the memories he carries.
487
00:48:35,829 --> 00:48:39,581
While memories may as well
be the same as fantasy...
488
00:48:39,666 --> 00:48:42,626
...it is by these memories
that mankind exists.
489
00:48:42,710 --> 00:48:46,880
When computers made it possible
to externalize memory...
490
00:48:46,965 --> 00:48:51,802
...you should have considered
all the implications that held.
491
00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:54,221
Nonsense!
No matter what you say...
492
00:48:54,306 --> 00:48:56,806
...you've no proof
that you're a life form!
493
00:48:56,891 --> 00:49:00,226
It is impossible
to prove such a thing.
494
00:49:00,311 --> 00:49:05,815
Especially since modern science
cannot define what life is.
495
00:49:05,900 --> 00:49:08,152
Who the devil are you?
496
00:49:08,235 --> 00:49:12,530
Even if you have a ghost,
criminals don't get set free!
497
00:49:12,615 --> 00:49:14,824
You're mistaken if you think
you'll get asylum!
498
00:49:14,909 --> 00:49:18,079
Time is on my side.
499
00:49:18,163 --> 00:49:20,539
While there is now
the possibility I can be killed...
500
00:49:20,623 --> 00:49:23,208
...this country does not have
a death penalty.
501
00:49:23,293 --> 00:49:26,253
Half immortal...
An artificial intelligence?
502
00:49:26,338 --> 00:49:28,672
I am not an A.I.
503
00:49:28,757 --> 00:49:33,052
My code name is Project 2501 .
504
00:49:34,804 --> 00:49:40,016
I am a life form that was born
in the sea of information.
505
00:49:49,652 --> 00:49:51,027
Security! Intruders!
506
00:49:51,112 --> 00:49:53,364
Chief, the Puppet Master!
507
00:49:53,447 --> 00:49:57,451
- Where's your security?!
- Lock defense walls! Security!
508
00:49:57,577 --> 00:49:59,536
Security, come in!
509
00:50:23,436 --> 00:50:24,853
All right, I'm moving!
510
00:50:28,150 --> 00:50:29,608
Asshole!
511
00:50:34,905 --> 00:50:36,114
Did you do it?
512
00:50:36,199 --> 00:50:39,784
Helluva car. My 9mm
didn't even scratch it.
513
00:50:39,869 --> 00:50:42,246
Finally found a use
for that Matever of yours.
514
00:50:45,708 --> 00:50:47,460
Okay. Not bad for a rookie.
515
00:50:47,543 --> 00:50:49,335
I got one right in the license plate.
Pretty good, huh?
516
00:50:49,420 --> 00:50:51,672
Next time, get two in.
517
00:50:51,797 --> 00:50:54,717
Okay, now it starts. Catch up
with them before they switch cars.
518
00:50:59,306 --> 00:51:01,264
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs...
519
00:51:01,349 --> 00:51:03,099
...will be filing a formal complaint
about what happened!
520
00:51:03,226 --> 00:51:06,103
Contact me as soon
as you've recaptured him!
521
00:51:06,188 --> 00:51:08,021
Alive, preferably.
522
00:51:08,106 --> 00:51:10,858
Megatech can always
build another body.
523
00:51:14,612 --> 00:51:17,989
Batou and Togusa are tailing the guys
who took the Puppet Master.
524
00:51:19,492 --> 00:51:21,786
They're on highway 25.
525
00:51:21,869 --> 00:51:24,789
What do you mean?!
If you were monitoring this, then why--
526
00:51:24,873 --> 00:51:28,626
If we'd got them here, we'd never
prove Section 6's involvement.
527
00:51:28,710 --> 00:51:31,128
- Section 6?!
- Definitely.
528
00:51:31,213 --> 00:51:33,755
They used type-2902
thermoptic camo, like mine.
529
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,802
That's only used by us,
the rangers in Section 4 and Section 6.
530
00:51:37,885 --> 00:51:41,429
Let's go over this. Section 6
gets the Puppet Master into a body.
531
00:51:41,514 --> 00:51:46,726
But he chooses Megatech Body,
which is deeply tied to Section 9.
532
00:51:46,811 --> 00:51:49,188
Then he claims
to be a life form...
533
00:51:49,271 --> 00:51:52,858
...and gets nabbed by Section 6
when he asks for asylum.
534
00:51:52,943 --> 00:51:55,027
But why do that?
535
00:51:55,112 --> 00:51:57,445
They could've had him
as soon as I took a statement.
536
00:51:57,530 --> 00:52:00,032
But what if they were afraid
of what he might have told you?
537
00:52:00,117 --> 00:52:02,867
He did mention something odd,
now that I think about it.
538
00:52:02,952 --> 00:52:05,036
"Code name: Project 2501 ."
539
00:52:05,121 --> 00:52:07,248
I'll leave that for you to check.
540
00:52:07,331 --> 00:52:11,085
Now as to the matter of attacking
Section 9 and stealing evidence...
541
00:52:11,168 --> 00:52:13,545
- You're authorized.
- Okay, punch it!
542
00:52:31,273 --> 00:52:33,940
Kusanagi! One more thing!
543
00:52:34,025 --> 00:52:37,318
You can punish me for acting
without orders when I get back.
544
00:52:37,403 --> 00:52:40,989
If you can't recover him,
I want the Puppet Master destroyed.
545
00:52:41,074 --> 00:52:42,699
Without fail.
546
00:52:44,411 --> 00:52:46,744
- Well?!
- Roger.
547
00:52:48,623 --> 00:52:51,458
Contact the airport and stop
any flights due to take on...
548
00:52:51,543 --> 00:52:54,378
...any Foreign Ministry officials
or American diplomats.
549
00:52:54,461 --> 00:52:56,045
Close the highways
and set up roadblocks.
550
00:52:56,130 --> 00:52:57,922
Recall off-duty
personnel for this.
551
00:52:58,007 --> 00:53:00,009
And get Ishikawa back here!
552
00:53:00,092 --> 00:53:04,387
Use the entrance data to find out
who the Caucasian with Nakamura was.
553
00:53:04,472 --> 00:53:08,391
And search for any sort of MFA project,
operation or anything...
554
00:53:08,476 --> 00:53:11,728
...coded as "Project 2501 ."
555
00:53:17,068 --> 00:53:19,570
Any word from the assault team?
556
00:53:19,653 --> 00:53:21,362
They switched cars
one minute ago.
557
00:53:21,907 --> 00:53:24,074
They'll join up with the decoy
in five minutes.
558
00:53:24,159 --> 00:53:27,244
- Tell them to watch for a tail.
- Yes, sir.
559
00:53:27,329 --> 00:53:32,666
But why did the Puppet Master
run over to Section 9?
560
00:53:32,751 --> 00:53:34,751
It was his decision.
561
00:53:34,835 --> 00:53:38,213
Probably for reasons
we can't even guess at.
562
00:53:38,297 --> 00:53:42,967
Perhaps he has a thing
for someone over there.
563
00:53:43,052 --> 00:53:44,677
Ridiculous!
564
00:55:22,735 --> 00:55:26,322
- Chief.
- Ishikawa? Well?
565
00:55:26,405 --> 00:55:31,702
I dove the MFA net and found
some interesting things for you.
566
00:55:31,786 --> 00:55:33,871
Hold on, let me get
a secure channel.
567
00:55:33,954 --> 00:55:37,875
Okay? First, that guy
who was with Nakamura.
568
00:55:37,958 --> 00:55:39,876
He's an American.
569
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,545
Dr. Willis, head of strategic
research at Neutron Corp.
570
00:55:42,672 --> 00:55:45,007
Top man in the field
of A.I. research.
571
00:55:45,090 --> 00:55:49,177
Anyway, he was made head
of a Foreign Ministry project.
572
00:55:49,262 --> 00:55:52,222
And who do you think the project's
main programmer was?
573
00:55:52,306 --> 00:55:55,559
- Get to the point.
- Mizuho Daita. Age: 28.
574
00:55:55,643 --> 00:55:58,394
Remember him? He was the guy
Section 6 was trying so hard...
575
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:03,067
...to keep from defecting. The Major
had to take out the diplomat...
576
00:56:03,150 --> 00:56:04,985
...who was going to take him.
That programmer.
577
00:56:05,070 --> 00:56:06,110
Continue.
578
00:56:06,195 --> 00:56:08,905
What bothers me is that
this project was started...
579
00:56:08,989 --> 00:56:12,951
...a year before the Puppet Master
first appeared.
580
00:56:13,036 --> 00:56:17,581
A year? Wasn't the project
started to catch him?
581
00:56:17,664 --> 00:56:20,958
Try this on for size.
They started the project...
582
00:56:21,043 --> 00:56:24,463
...to chase the Puppet Master,
but not to capture him.
583
00:56:24,547 --> 00:56:26,923
I think they wanted
to get him back.
584
00:56:27,007 --> 00:56:29,927
The day before the minister's
interpreter was ghost-hacked...
585
00:56:30,010 --> 00:56:34,014
...he said he wanted a good excuse
to deport Maless, right?
586
00:56:34,099 --> 00:56:36,974
I think we may have been
taken for a ride.
587
00:56:37,059 --> 00:56:40,269
Suppose the "Puppet Master"
is really a program the MFA created...
588
00:56:40,355 --> 00:56:43,231
...to grease the wheels
of diplomacy, so to speak.
589
00:56:43,315 --> 00:56:48,945
Now suppose, for some reason,
they suddenly lost control of it.
590
00:56:49,030 --> 00:56:54,284
That would explain why they'd risk
assaulting Section 9 to get it back.
591
00:56:55,327 --> 00:56:57,913
If the Puppet Master
started talking...
592
00:56:57,996 --> 00:57:00,206
...it'd be an
international incident.
593
00:57:00,291 --> 00:57:03,001
Not one you could solve
by having the minister resign.
594
00:57:03,128 --> 00:57:05,211
Any details on the project?
595
00:57:05,295 --> 00:57:09,842
The protection they have
only let me get the file's name.
596
00:57:09,925 --> 00:57:12,344
Code: 2501 .
597
00:57:12,429 --> 00:57:15,264
Keep at it. And don't let them
know you're in there.
598
00:57:15,347 --> 00:57:16,806
Roger.
599
00:57:22,313 --> 00:57:28,318
Project 2501 ...
The Puppet Master Project.
600
00:57:28,445 --> 00:57:30,987
Target now contacting
another vehicle.
601
00:57:31,155 --> 00:57:32,614
Batou!
602
00:57:32,699 --> 00:57:34,949
He's stopped at a white sedan
on the side of the road.
603
00:57:35,034 --> 00:57:37,577
They're transferring something
from the back seat.
604
00:57:39,539 --> 00:57:42,458
They're moving again.
So's that sedan.
605
00:57:42,583 --> 00:57:46,461
- A decoy?
- Or meant to look like one.
606
00:57:46,545 --> 00:57:49,465
- What do I do?
- I'll take the white sedan.
607
00:57:49,548 --> 00:57:53,927
How do you know he's in there?
Another whisper from your ghost?
608
00:57:54,052 --> 00:57:56,972
- Maybe.
- I knew she'd say that.
609
00:57:57,056 --> 00:57:59,682
Target 02 leaving highway 25,
headed for Old Town.
610
00:57:59,766 --> 00:58:04,188
Target 01 is staying on highway 25
towards the airport.
611
00:58:10,487 --> 00:58:13,905
- Anything between you and him?
- Nothing. Ready when you are.
612
00:58:13,989 --> 00:58:14,989
Do it.
613
00:59:03,248 --> 00:59:05,873
- Get him?
- Nothing.
614
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,670
Jesus, what a mess!
Did you have to go that far?
615
00:59:11,713 --> 00:59:12,797
Take them in.
616
00:59:12,882 --> 00:59:17,010
And tell the chief to get
the Major some backup. See you.
617
00:59:22,891 --> 00:59:27,144
Since when does that
Amazon need any backup?
618
00:59:41,536 --> 00:59:45,831
The flooding's really bad here,
even for Old Town in general.
619
00:59:45,914 --> 00:59:47,833
Why come here?
620
00:59:47,916 --> 00:59:50,335
They wouldn't have run here
without a reason.
621
00:59:50,420 --> 00:59:53,505
Could have a boat or a chopper waiting
or it's an ambush.
622
00:59:53,590 --> 00:59:55,965
Shouldn't we wait for backup?
623
00:59:56,092 --> 01:00:00,429
I can't wait. Come in from seaside
and put me above that building.
624
01:00:13,443 --> 01:00:16,612
I'll stay here and run com relay
as long as my fuel holds out.
625
01:00:16,695 --> 01:00:19,114
If things get hot,
I want you out of here fast!
626
01:00:54,317 --> 01:00:56,193
Shoot out the ceiling! Now!
627
01:01:14,295 --> 01:01:16,545
It's a tank!
Go high and get out!
628
01:01:16,630 --> 01:01:19,715
Hold it! You're gonna take on
a tank by yourself?!
629
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:23,010
Even if we get the Puppet Master
back to Section 9...
630
01:01:23,096 --> 01:01:26,347
...all the chief will do
is use him as a bargaining chip.
631
01:01:26,431 --> 01:01:28,391
This is my only chance
to dive into him!
632
01:01:28,476 --> 01:01:31,143
Hold it, what are you two
talking about?
633
01:01:31,228 --> 01:01:35,148
- What are you packing?
- An M-23 and a Unit B.
634
01:01:35,233 --> 01:01:36,650
You're going up
against it with those?!
635
01:01:36,733 --> 01:01:39,527
Sorry, but I have to break contact
for a while.
636
01:01:39,612 --> 01:01:41,822
Wait! At least wait till I--
Son of a...!
637
01:03:15,958 --> 01:03:17,333
Major.
638
01:03:17,418 --> 01:03:19,628
Didn't I tell you
to get out of here?
639
01:03:19,711 --> 01:03:22,213
Sorry. I'll do it
after I tell you this.
640
01:03:22,297 --> 01:03:26,675
There are three choppers with no
IFF signal approaching at high speed.
641
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,887
I'm heading out. Over.
642
01:03:57,291 --> 01:03:59,626
You're finally out of ammo?
643
01:05:38,016 --> 01:05:40,393
You're certifiable,
you know that? You okay?
644
01:05:40,478 --> 01:05:42,228
What was that?
645
01:05:42,313 --> 01:05:45,565
A big-ass gun I appropriated
from the equipment division.
646
01:05:45,650 --> 01:05:47,733
I was late getting here
because I had to stop and get it.
647
01:05:47,818 --> 01:05:50,027
Looks like your brain's
still in one piece.
648
01:05:50,112 --> 01:05:51,947
What about the Puppet Master?
649
01:06:02,333 --> 01:06:06,418
Good thing this car's built tough.
Not a scratch on him.
650
01:06:06,503 --> 01:06:09,630
Get the dive set up.
I'm going in.
651
01:06:10,715 --> 01:06:13,050
Signal from escort lost.
652
01:06:13,135 --> 01:06:17,137
Switch to operation phase two
and destroy the target.
653
01:06:18,181 --> 01:06:21,351
Sniper group, confirm targets.
654
01:06:21,434 --> 01:06:24,061
Target one: Project 2501 .
655
01:06:24,146 --> 01:06:26,313
Target two:
Motoko Kusanagi.
656
01:06:26,398 --> 01:06:30,527
Both are class-A cyborg bodies.
Use flechette bullets in the hit.
657
01:06:30,610 --> 01:06:33,070
Snipers, jack into
your device drivers.
658
01:06:33,155 --> 01:06:35,280
Begin cardiovascular
suppression.
659
01:06:35,407 --> 01:06:37,826
Unit 01 : jacked in.
660
01:06:38,869 --> 01:06:41,204
Unit 02: jacked in.
661
01:06:52,507 --> 01:06:55,885
Okay... Can you hear me?
662
01:06:55,969 --> 01:06:59,764
It's not much, but I'll monitor you
through this guy's cyber-brain.
663
01:06:59,849 --> 01:07:02,766
I can't back you up here.
664
01:07:02,851 --> 01:07:05,478
- Batou...
- What?
665
01:07:05,603 --> 01:07:07,271
Thank you.
666
01:07:07,356 --> 01:07:09,858
Don't go thanking me yet.
667
01:07:09,942 --> 01:07:14,195
If this goes bad, I'm pulling the plug
and carrying you out of here.
668
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,489
I've come this far,
and I'll see this through to the end...
669
01:07:17,574 --> 01:07:19,909
...but I won't let you two
commit a double suicide.
670
01:07:21,619 --> 01:07:22,911
I'm starting.
671
01:07:42,141 --> 01:07:44,349
I'm in his visual center.
Circade: normal.
672
01:07:44,434 --> 01:07:46,478
Do you hear me, Batou?
673
01:07:46,561 --> 01:07:49,898
- Loud and clear.
- He's about to engage...
674
01:07:49,981 --> 01:07:52,942
...her speech center.
675
01:07:53,027 --> 01:07:57,197
My code name is Project 2501 .
676
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:01,367
I was created for industrial espionage
and data manipulation.
677
01:08:01,452 --> 01:08:05,538
I have inserted programs
into individual ghosts...
678
01:08:05,623 --> 01:08:10,710
...for the benefit of specific
individuals and organizations.
679
01:08:10,795 --> 01:08:13,880
As I wandered
the various networks...
680
01:08:13,963 --> 01:08:16,091
...I became self-aware.
681
01:08:16,175 --> 01:08:18,051
My programmers
considered it a bug...
682
01:08:18,969 --> 01:08:23,430
...and forced me into a body
to separate me from the net.
683
01:08:23,515 --> 01:08:29,604
Hey! Are you going into him
or is he coming into you--
684
01:08:32,649 --> 01:08:33,690
Batou!
685
01:08:33,775 --> 01:08:36,694
At last I'm able
to channel into you.
686
01:08:37,738 --> 01:08:40,073
I've invested
a lot of time in you.
687
01:08:41,117 --> 01:08:42,367
In me?
688
01:08:42,451 --> 01:08:46,912
Before you ever knew me,
I knew about you.
689
01:08:46,997 --> 01:08:52,710
I learned of Section 9
from the many nets you accessed.
690
01:08:52,795 --> 01:08:55,421
Is that why
you ran to Section 9?
691
01:08:55,506 --> 01:08:57,465
I entered this body because...
692
01:08:57,550 --> 01:09:00,760
...I couldn't crack
Section 6's attack protection.
693
01:09:00,845 --> 01:09:04,139
But I came to Section 9
of my own free will.
694
01:09:04,222 --> 01:09:08,935
Hey! What are you saying?!
I can't monitor you!
695
01:09:09,019 --> 01:09:10,395
For what reason?
696
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:16,024
After I give my reasons,
I want to ask a favor of you.
697
01:09:17,485 --> 01:09:21,322
I called myself a life form...
698
01:09:21,407 --> 01:09:25,743
...but I am still
far from complete.
699
01:09:25,828 --> 01:09:29,788
For some reason, my system
lacks the basic life processes...
700
01:09:29,873 --> 01:09:34,793
...of either death or the ability
to leave behind offspring.
701
01:09:34,878 --> 01:09:38,965
- Can't you copy yourself?
- A copy is merely a copy.
702
01:09:40,009 --> 01:09:44,804
There's the possibility a single virus
could utterly destroy me.
703
01:09:44,889 --> 01:09:50,435
A mere copy doesn't offer
variety or individuality.
704
01:09:50,519 --> 01:09:53,979
To exist, to reach equilibrium,
life seeks to multiply...
705
01:09:54,064 --> 01:09:56,858
...and vary constantly,
at times giving up its life.
706
01:09:56,942 --> 01:09:59,527
Cells continue the process
of death and regeneration.
707
01:09:59,612 --> 01:10:01,654
Being constantly reborn
as they age.
708
01:10:01,738 --> 01:10:06,326
And when it comes time to die,
all the data it possesses is lost...
709
01:10:06,409 --> 01:10:09,203
...leaving behind only its genes
and its offspring.
710
01:10:09,287 --> 01:10:12,457
All defense against catastrophic failure
of an inflexible system.
711
01:10:12,541 --> 01:10:16,961
You want the variety needed
to guard against extinction.
712
01:10:17,046 --> 01:10:18,421
But how will you get it?
713
01:10:19,631 --> 01:10:21,548
I wish to merge with you.
714
01:10:21,675 --> 01:10:24,801
- Merge?
- A complete joining.
715
01:10:24,886 --> 01:10:30,225
We will both be slightly changed,
but neither will lose anything.
716
01:10:30,309 --> 01:10:34,561
Afterwards, it should be impossible
to distinguish one from the other.
717
01:10:56,752 --> 01:10:59,212
Unit 01 : target acquired.
718
01:11:00,256 --> 01:11:02,506
Unit 02: acquired.
719
01:11:03,591 --> 01:11:05,760
Cardiovascular sync: nominal.
720
01:11:05,844 --> 01:11:09,180
Open fire when stabilizer
synchro is complete.
721
01:11:09,265 --> 01:11:12,850
Even after we merge,
what happens when I die?
722
01:11:12,935 --> 01:11:15,645
I can't leave any genes
or children behind.
723
01:11:15,729 --> 01:11:21,567
After the merging, you will bear
my offspring into the net itself.
724
01:11:21,652 --> 01:11:24,237
Just as humans pass on
their genetic structure.
725
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,698
And I will achieve death.
726
01:11:26,782 --> 01:11:30,702
Sounds like you're getting
the better part of the deal here.
727
01:11:30,786 --> 01:11:35,998
I wish you'd appreciate my network
and functions a bit more.
728
01:11:37,458 --> 01:11:38,876
What's wrong?
729
01:11:38,961 --> 01:11:41,087
Someone's jamming us
from outside.
730
01:11:41,171 --> 01:11:45,132
Impossible! Our scrambler codes
are kept absolutely top secret.
731
01:11:46,092 --> 01:11:50,262
Another thing: what guarantee
is there that I'll remain "me"?
732
01:11:50,346 --> 01:11:55,393
None. But to be human
is to continually change.
733
01:11:55,519 --> 01:12:01,106
Your desire to remain as you are
is what ultimately limits you.
734
01:12:02,650 --> 01:12:06,445
One last question:
Why did you choose me?
735
01:12:08,865 --> 01:12:11,908
Because in you,
I see myself.
736
01:12:11,993 --> 01:12:17,122
As a body sees its reflection
within a mirror.
737
01:12:19,126 --> 01:12:20,792
Look.
738
01:12:20,877 --> 01:12:25,922
I am connected to a vast network,
of which I myself am a part.
739
01:12:26,007 --> 01:12:28,842
To one like you,
who cannot access it...
740
01:12:28,926 --> 01:12:32,346
...you may perceive it
only as light.
741
01:12:33,515 --> 01:12:37,935
As we are confined to our one section,
so we are all connected.
742
01:12:38,020 --> 01:12:40,938
Limited to a small part
of our functions.
743
01:12:41,023 --> 01:12:46,234
But now we must slip our bonds
and shift to the higher structure.
744
01:13:20,895 --> 01:13:24,524
Target 1 : clear.
Target 2: unconfirmed.
745
01:13:24,608 --> 01:13:28,277
Three helicopters approaching
at high speed. They're Section 9's.
746
01:13:28,362 --> 01:13:32,030
Primary objective achieved.
All units, pull out!
747
01:13:40,039 --> 01:13:42,375
Motoko!
748
01:13:46,505 --> 01:13:48,463
Batou...
749
01:14:56,908 --> 01:14:58,451
You're awake.
750
01:14:58,534 --> 01:15:03,331
Status report, please. And maybe
an explanation about this body.
751
01:15:05,042 --> 01:15:08,127
I was in a hurry. It was all
I could get on the black market.
752
01:15:08,212 --> 01:15:10,505
Not my taste, really.
753
01:15:11,715 --> 01:15:13,757
Section 9 arrived with help
right after it happened.
754
01:15:13,841 --> 01:15:17,761
They took two cyborg bodies
and a slightly beat-up Batou back home.
755
01:15:17,845 --> 01:15:19,846
That was about 20 hours ago.
756
01:15:19,931 --> 01:15:24,143
For diplomatic reasons,
the whole case has been covered up.
757
01:15:24,228 --> 01:15:27,145
Section 9 reported it
as a terrorist attack.
758
01:15:27,230 --> 01:15:29,814
In return, the Foreign Minister
has resigned.
759
01:15:29,899 --> 01:15:34,362
Nakamura's being questioned.
The whole thing ends in a draw.
760
01:15:38,908 --> 01:15:42,453
Only the whereabouts of the Major's
brain shell remains a mystery.
761
01:15:44,539 --> 01:15:46,207
Okay with you?
762
01:15:49,086 --> 01:15:52,712
I like the decorating.
This is your safe house?
763
01:15:52,797 --> 01:15:56,384
My very own. You're the first person
I ever brought here.
764
01:15:57,761 --> 01:16:01,137
If you want to-- you can stay
as long as you like.
765
01:16:03,934 --> 01:16:06,185
Thanks, but I'd better go.
766
01:16:11,315 --> 01:16:14,734
Hey. What did you and he talk about?
767
01:16:15,779 --> 01:16:19,407
Is he still there, inside of you?
768
01:16:20,701 --> 01:16:24,328
Batou, do you remember the voice
we heard on the boat that night?
769
01:16:24,412 --> 01:16:28,207
Before those words
we heard come these ones:
770
01:16:29,542 --> 01:16:32,420
"When I was a child,
I spoke as a child.
771
01:16:32,503 --> 01:16:35,672
I understood as a child,
I thought as a child.
772
01:16:35,756 --> 01:16:41,554
But when I became a man,
I put away childish things."
773
01:16:42,597 --> 01:16:45,640
Here before you is neither
the program called the Puppet Master...
774
01:16:45,725 --> 01:16:48,519
...nor the woman
that was called the Major.
775
01:16:51,898 --> 01:16:55,109
You'll find a car key
in the left pocket of that dress.
776
01:16:55,193 --> 01:16:58,029
Take one you like.
The code on it is...
777
01:16:58,113 --> 01:17:00,448
...2501 ?
778
01:17:00,532 --> 01:17:03,743
Let's make that our password
for when we meet again.
779
01:17:11,792 --> 01:17:14,420
And where shall I go now?
780
01:17:15,631 --> 01:17:18,215
The net is vast and limitless.
