1
00:03:04,853 --> 00:03:07,355
We have a follow-up report
from live at the scene
2
00:03:07,564 --> 00:03:11,109
of today's armed occupation of the East Asian
Economic Federation's Far East trade embassy.
3
00:03:12,694 --> 00:03:16,656
You're the ideal person
for the job, Major Kusanagi.
4
00:03:16,865 --> 00:03:19,742
Thank you, Special Advisor Fujimoto.
5
00:03:22,036 --> 00:03:25,665
Our victory is close at hand, Lt. Col. Kurutsu.
6
00:03:25,874 --> 00:03:28,626
I agree, Ambassador Wong.
7
00:03:32,422 --> 00:03:34,549
Our interview is just a formality.
8
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:40,179
These days Als and administrators
do the deliberations.
9
00:03:40,388 --> 00:03:42,849
Won't this conversation affect the outcome?
10
00:03:43,057 --> 00:03:45,560
Humans need not be daunted by machines.
11
00:03:48,062 --> 00:03:52,233
Your unit aligns perfectly with
a critical governmental problem.
12
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:06,414
When the war ended,
the world entered an era of change.
13
00:04:06,623 --> 00:04:08,958
This country is no exception.
14
00:04:12,587 --> 00:04:16,215
The war accelerated cyberbrain
and prosthetic development.
15
00:04:16,424 --> 00:04:19,886
The cybercrimes resulting
from that process are serious,
16
00:04:20,094 --> 00:04:22,430
but the real problem is more fundamental.
17
00:04:26,434 --> 00:04:28,394
The cyberbrain and prosthetics businesses
18
00:04:28,603 --> 00:04:32,899
spawned the largest
profit-seeking system in history.
19
00:04:33,107 --> 00:04:35,777
The massive amount of data
now shared in real time
20
00:04:35,985 --> 00:04:39,989
has gone beyond what
any country can manage.
21
00:04:43,493 --> 00:04:48,623
Even assuming that conglomerates will
eliminate all nations and races one day,
22
00:04:48,831 --> 00:04:52,085
the state's role isn't over yet.
23
00:04:52,293 --> 00:04:58,758
Yes. The anarchical system
calling itself the "global economy"
24
00:04:58,967 --> 00:05:02,971
will destroy any private financial security,
which is the foundation of the state.
25
00:05:03,972 --> 00:05:05,473
Fall back!
26
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:20,613
Cyberbrains and prosthetics are the bridge
27
00:05:20,822 --> 00:05:24,784
connecting the systems of munitions
industry and household economics.
28
00:05:24,993 --> 00:05:28,162
Government regulations are
meaningless at this point.
29
00:05:30,999 --> 00:05:35,670
While no executive organ exists
which can truly contain the system,
30
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:39,215
that doesn't mean it transcends
laws established by the state.
31
00:05:40,341 --> 00:05:45,346
Systems which break the law
must be taken care of directly.
32
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:52,020
Informatization forces us to choose
between becoming the system
33
00:05:52,228 --> 00:05:55,648
and subordinating ourselves to it.
34
00:05:55,857 --> 00:05:57,692
What we need now...
35
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:01,863
...is an executive organ to offensively
pass judgment on the system.
36
00:06:02,071 --> 00:06:07,035
...Is a network to integrate with the system
and sort people appropriately.
37
00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:15,001
We recognize you and your organization
38
00:06:15,209 --> 00:06:20,506
as an enterprise we should welcome,
Lt. Col. Kurutsu.
39
00:06:20,715 --> 00:06:22,842
Anti-terror activities under
direct governmental authority.
40
00:06:23,051 --> 00:06:27,221
State-of-the-art cyber investigation. The power
to bring charges for corporate crimes.
41
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:29,599
Nothing is taboo for your unit.
42
00:06:31,267 --> 00:06:32,518
You done yet, Major?
43
00:06:32,727 --> 00:06:35,897
In a few minutes. What's the sitrep?
44
00:06:36,105 --> 00:06:39,817
One hour into the raid, it's a circus over here.
45
00:06:42,278 --> 00:06:45,907
Dammit! It's Ape-Face from
Public Security Section 9.
46
00:06:48,618 --> 00:06:52,747
Isn't Chief Aramaki the one that requested us?
47
00:06:52,955 --> 00:06:55,541
He wants us working for him.
48
00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:58,544
That doesn't suit our separatist leader.
49
00:06:58,753 --> 00:07:00,880
The ape's assumed authority.
50
00:07:01,089 --> 00:07:04,383
What now, Major? Want me
to break into Section 9's Net?
51
00:07:04,592 --> 00:07:07,762
I'll negotiate. Just wait for me.
52
00:07:12,433 --> 00:07:16,104
The Prime Minister would like to
see this incident resolved promptly.
53
00:07:17,647 --> 00:07:21,943
And you've just been given
the authority to do it.
54
00:07:23,778 --> 00:07:26,364
Thank you, sir.
55
00:07:31,285 --> 00:07:33,454
Do you like this country?
56
00:07:34,956 --> 00:07:37,959
Enough to exert my full abilities, at least.
57
00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:42,463
The country should work
to earn your love, then.
58
00:07:44,966 --> 00:07:46,843
I'll begin immediately.
59
00:07:49,470 --> 00:07:51,097
Oh, and...
60
00:07:51,305 --> 00:07:52,807
Sir?
61
00:07:55,643 --> 00:07:57,937
Your smile is too perfect.
62
00:07:58,146 --> 00:08:01,149
You don't need to devote so much
of your prosthetic memory to it.
63
00:08:02,692 --> 00:08:06,904
I've never given a programmed smile, sir.
64
00:08:08,865 --> 00:08:12,994
I have no intention of questioning
your soul-your Ghost.
65
00:08:15,663 --> 00:08:17,331
I'm heading to the scene.
66
00:08:27,175 --> 00:08:28,843
Good luck.
67
00:08:34,849 --> 00:08:36,475
lshikawa, information.
68
00:08:36,684 --> 00:08:41,147
I see a report from federal council
session 320 approving the budget.
69
00:08:41,355 --> 00:08:43,065
Nice work, Major.
70
00:08:46,027 --> 00:08:49,530
Get in my lobby. We're taking this case.
71
00:09:13,596 --> 00:09:17,850
Kusanagi. I didn't expect to see you here.
72
00:09:18,059 --> 00:09:21,354
Did you come to wag your tail
for our antiquated government?
73
00:09:21,562 --> 00:09:27,193
And you? Going to become a corporate
profit-seeking machine, Kurutsu?
74
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:30,029
Most of the military is going to be privatized.
75
00:09:30,238 --> 00:09:34,700
This is a war. Side with the losers,
and you have no future.
76
00:09:34,909 --> 00:09:40,414
The war is over. I won't let them
put a serial number on my Ghost, too.
77
00:09:42,124 --> 00:09:46,045
Everyone is replaceable and expendable.
78
00:09:46,254 --> 00:09:50,758
We'll soon find out which of us
is the disposable one.
79
00:10:15,116 --> 00:10:18,619
ETA seven minutes. I assume you have my info.
80
00:10:37,138 --> 00:10:41,767
Eleven soldiers who opposed downgrading
Defense from "Ministry" to "Agency"
81
00:10:41,976 --> 00:10:46,480
have occupied the East Asian Economic
Federation's Far East trade embassy.
82
00:10:46,689 --> 00:10:51,944
Here are their current positions,
backgrounds, and affiliations.
83
00:10:52,153 --> 00:10:54,447
Um...
84
00:10:54,655 --> 00:10:59,785
All eleven are prosthetized, and two of 'em
have heavy-class converted prosthetics.
85
00:10:59,994 --> 00:11:03,039
Nothing the riot police oughta fool with.
86
00:11:06,167 --> 00:11:11,297
Out of 42 hostages, 36 are confined
in the hall with the bombs.
87
00:11:11,505 --> 00:11:14,633
The others are higher-ups who
escaped into the panic room.
88
00:11:14,842 --> 00:11:17,178
They're probably the real targets.
89
00:11:17,386 --> 00:11:19,638
If that door opens, we're screwed.
90
00:11:19,847 --> 00:11:24,185
They'll either hole up in there for a year
or start staging public executions.
91
00:11:24,393 --> 00:11:26,020
What are their demands?
92
00:11:26,228 --> 00:11:28,981
They want the government to keep
the Ministry and suspend military trials.
93
00:11:29,190 --> 00:11:31,525
They didn't ask for their own escape.
94
00:11:31,734 --> 00:11:35,821
They just want their own little battlefield.
95
00:11:36,030 --> 00:11:38,824
Execute domination on my signal.
We're going in.
96
00:11:39,033 --> 00:11:41,327
Wait, just the seven of us?!
97
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:45,164
We have a sniper, cyberbrain hacking
for support, and Logicomas for shields.
98
00:11:45,373 --> 00:11:48,167
The riot police at the perimeter
will keep enemy reinforcements away.
99
00:11:48,376 --> 00:11:50,503
You need anything else?
100
00:11:50,711 --> 00:11:52,004
Seriously?
101
00:11:52,213 --> 00:11:57,009
Guess the rookie can't do anything
without a textbook and a necktie.
102
00:11:57,218 --> 00:11:59,678
It must be rough, being the
only one with a natural body.
103
00:11:59,887 --> 00:12:02,556
Why not take this chance to go full cyborg?
104
00:12:02,765 --> 00:12:06,519
If you die, I'll call your pretty wife for you.
105
00:12:06,727 --> 00:12:11,565
I can at least collect your last words
before your cyberbrain's blown away.
106
00:12:11,774 --> 00:12:16,529
Call me if you want someone
to make your death painless.
107
00:12:16,737 --> 00:12:20,908
Screw you jerks!
Fine, I'll do it and show you all!
108
00:12:21,117 --> 00:12:25,371
You're top-notch parts I collected.
109
00:12:25,579 --> 00:12:29,708
If you can't perform anymore, I'll purge you.
110
00:12:29,917 --> 00:12:35,047
But most of you would wind up
in jail or shot in the back
111
00:12:35,256 --> 00:12:37,883
if you weren't on my squad.
112
00:12:38,092 --> 00:12:39,677
Don't forget that.
113
00:12:40,970 --> 00:12:43,264
Get in position and prepare to go in.
114
00:12:45,099 --> 00:12:48,060
She's calling us machine parts now?
115
00:12:48,269 --> 00:12:53,399
Our unworldly princess probably
meant that as a pep talk.
116
00:12:53,607 --> 00:12:54,733
That's demonic.
117
00:12:54,942 --> 00:12:56,277
Damn gorilla.
118
00:12:56,485 --> 00:12:58,404
She's a cruel woman.
119
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:01,615
It just means she trusts us.
120
00:13:01,824 --> 00:13:05,286
Dammit, I seriously might get killed.
121
00:13:06,495 --> 00:13:09,415
We need more personnel to storm them!
122
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:12,918
Where's Special Forces?
Where are the Rangers?!
123
00:13:13,127 --> 00:13:14,753
Everyone refused to come.
124
00:13:14,962 --> 00:13:19,258
They don't want to shoot their own people
to save some foreign war merchants.
125
00:13:19,467 --> 00:13:22,928
Tell them to help these guys by stopping
them from committing more crimes!
126
00:13:23,137 --> 00:13:26,307
Any squads associated with them
will be charged with conspiracy!
127
00:13:27,308 --> 00:13:30,102
Pull out the negotiators, Chief.
128
00:13:30,311 --> 00:13:32,605
You're finally here, Major?
129
00:13:32,813 --> 00:13:35,608
Sorry, but you'll need to stand down.
130
00:13:35,816 --> 00:13:41,322
Oh, so that suspicious squad budget
the council just passed was yours?
131
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:43,824
It's not like you to rely on politicians.
132
00:13:44,033 --> 00:13:46,702
I saved myself some hassle
by negotiating with the top.
133
00:13:48,996 --> 00:13:51,957
"Directly under the Prime Minister"
only means something on paper.
134
00:13:52,166 --> 00:13:55,961
I recommend a squad that
follows international law.
135
00:13:56,170 --> 00:14:01,800
A "shell squad within the international
rescue team," I think you said?
136
00:14:02,009 --> 00:14:05,638
We'd already have one if it weren't for the war.
137
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:11,143
It would nip crimes in the bud, and stop
incidents like this before they happened.
138
00:14:11,352 --> 00:14:16,148
Nice thought, but I'll take this
case over your fantasy squad.
139
00:14:16,357 --> 00:14:17,983
When are you going in?
140
00:14:18,192 --> 00:14:19,485
In 20 seconds.
141
00:14:19,693 --> 00:14:24,532
We'll try not to kill anyone, so you'll
have something to do afterward.
142
00:14:27,201 --> 00:14:30,204
She's like a kid with a new toy.
143
00:14:51,892 --> 00:14:53,602
Dominate now.
144
00:14:59,233 --> 00:15:01,527
Our comm lines just got dominated!
145
00:15:01,735 --> 00:15:04,822
I like a good opponent. Bring it on!
146
00:15:16,083 --> 00:15:18,919
My sights... She's infiltrated my vision!
147
00:16:15,976 --> 00:16:18,187
Hey, what's wrong?
148
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:38,874
Hello!
149
00:16:42,670 --> 00:16:44,213
Bastards!
150
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:52,513
Logicomas, protect the hostages.
151
00:16:52,721 --> 00:16:55,599
Order acknowledged!
152
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:05,234
Are you my prey?
153
00:17:07,027 --> 00:17:08,862
Move it! Don't turn over the hostages!
154
00:17:09,071 --> 00:17:11,156
Do whatever it takes to buy time!
155
00:17:11,365 --> 00:17:12,866
Hello.
156
00:17:30,551 --> 00:17:33,053
See? I contribute.
157
00:17:35,889 --> 00:17:37,599
Go down, dammit!
158
00:17:51,572 --> 00:17:53,741
Where are you aiming? Don't kill them!
159
00:17:57,411 --> 00:17:59,538
Don't monitor my vision all the time!
160
00:17:59,747 --> 00:18:02,583
Break your kill shot habit. The war is over.
161
00:18:02,791 --> 00:18:05,419
All these guys are still fighting it.
162
00:18:20,434 --> 00:18:22,186
Bummer for you.
163
00:18:25,606 --> 00:18:28,233
Guess your conversion was all about might.
164
00:18:28,442 --> 00:18:31,403
I bet when you went full cyborg
after almost dying on the battlefield,
165
00:18:31,612 --> 00:18:34,448
you thought you'd become your best self.
166
00:18:40,662 --> 00:18:42,539
I did, too.
167
00:18:50,964 --> 00:18:53,592
All done here, Major.
168
00:18:53,801 --> 00:18:54,927
How's the panic room?
169
00:18:55,135 --> 00:18:58,430
The door's fine. Two men on the move.
170
00:18:58,639 --> 00:19:00,265
Batou and I will box them in.
171
00:19:00,474 --> 00:19:03,727
Free the hostages and put everyone
you've captured in the hall.
172
00:19:07,648 --> 00:19:09,608
Should we go in, too?
173
00:19:09,817 --> 00:19:11,944
You like playing the clown?
174
00:19:12,152 --> 00:19:17,324
As long as we beat the central authorities
to inspecting the scene, we're fine.
175
00:19:17,533 --> 00:19:22,621
Seven people stealing the perps
we used 200 to surround...
176
00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:24,665
Now that's entertainment.
177
00:19:29,545 --> 00:19:32,464
"A Stalemate at the Occupied Embassy"
178
00:19:33,841 --> 00:19:36,260
He's all right, Mr. Prime Minister.
179
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:40,430
I'll issue a directive.
180
00:19:49,690 --> 00:19:50,482
Batou?
181
00:19:50,691 --> 00:19:53,694
Major? Where's the enemy?
182
00:19:59,241 --> 00:20:00,826
lshikawa, what's going on?
183
00:20:01,034 --> 00:20:05,330
I was jammed for a second.
There's a twelfth person on the property.
184
00:20:05,539 --> 00:20:08,125
A twelfth? Find them!
185
00:20:10,711 --> 00:20:12,212
Look.
186
00:20:30,063 --> 00:20:31,565
Friendly fire?
187
00:20:50,626 --> 00:20:52,753
Come on, everyone outside!
188
00:20:56,298 --> 00:20:59,051
Something's off. We're one person short.
189
00:20:59,259 --> 00:21:01,929
There's been some noise on the comm line...
190
00:21:13,273 --> 00:21:15,275
Hey, don't touch those!
191
00:21:26,286 --> 00:21:29,915
The hostages' cyberbrains are
contaminated! This pattern is...
192
00:21:30,123 --> 00:21:32,084
The false memory virus.
193
00:21:32,292 --> 00:21:35,921
It's Fire-Starter! Give them the virtual vaccine!
194
00:21:36,129 --> 00:21:40,384
I thought they were ghost locked!
Why can they move?!
195
00:21:42,302 --> 00:21:44,429
I found the twelfth perp!
196
00:21:44,638 --> 00:21:48,892
They're the host for the packaged virus.
Destroy their cyberbrain!
197
00:21:50,143 --> 00:21:53,480
It's been a while since I got permission to kill.
198
00:22:24,011 --> 00:22:25,929
Mr. Prime Minister, wait!
199
00:22:40,694 --> 00:22:41,820
MY ear!
200
00:22:42,029 --> 00:22:45,532
That was a flesh part! I'll kill that bastard!
201
00:22:56,084 --> 00:22:57,961
This is horrible...
202
00:23:03,884 --> 00:23:09,056
A false cyberbrain... This is just a
remote-control doll with no Ghost!
203
00:23:09,264 --> 00:23:10,557
Where's the twelfth perp?
204
00:23:10,766 --> 00:23:13,393
I lost track. I'm searching now.
205
00:23:15,437 --> 00:23:17,773
The government's "state of emergency" alert?
206
00:23:18,774 --> 00:23:22,360
Secret talks at Yagasaki Hotel? Bombing?
207
00:23:22,569 --> 00:23:25,405
What the hell are you
talking about?! Who died?!
208
00:23:58,939 --> 00:24:02,400
The first assassination of a sitting
Prime Minister in our nation's history
209
00:24:02,609 --> 00:24:05,612
happened while Japanese soldiers occupied
an East Asian Federation embassy.
210
00:24:05,821 --> 00:24:09,407
The relationship between
these events is unknown,
211
00:24:09,616 --> 00:24:13,745
but authorities requested an analysis
of the Ministry faction's military Nets
212
00:24:13,954 --> 00:24:16,248
from Vice-Minister Yoko Kitahara in her
interim role due to the Minister's resignation.
213
00:24:16,456 --> 00:24:19,417
The administration is expected to force
the downgrade to Defense Agency,
214
00:24:19,626 --> 00:24:21,962
increasing the bad feeling between
government and military groups.
215
00:24:47,362 --> 00:24:49,406
"Which of us is disposable"...
216
00:24:51,575 --> 00:24:53,994
Did someone use you and throw you away?
217
00:24:58,206 --> 00:25:03,503
I'll find them and put them on
the slab next to you, Kurutsu.
218
00:25:04,337 --> 00:25:08,300
The PM's talks were with Ambassador Wong
from the Far East trade embassy.
219
00:25:08,508 --> 00:25:10,969
Investigate the simultaneous
embassy occupation
220
00:25:11,178 --> 00:25:12,637
without making any assumptions.
221
00:25:12,846 --> 00:25:15,974
--Yes, sir! --Find out what's been
going on at the PM's residence.
222
00:25:16,183 --> 00:25:19,144
Put surveillance on anyone who makes
noise about their immunity to arrest.
223
00:25:19,352 --> 00:25:20,854
Yes, sir.
224
00:25:34,367 --> 00:25:39,873
We should have stopped this
from happening somehow!
225
00:25:42,209 --> 00:25:43,668
All patched up?
226
00:25:43,877 --> 00:25:47,005
Amazing what having a budget
will do for maintenance.
227
00:25:47,214 --> 00:25:51,176
Who knows what'll happen with the
budget now that the PM's dead, though.
228
00:25:51,384 --> 00:25:53,178
Give me two hours to fine-tune.
229
00:25:53,386 --> 00:25:56,014
I'm gonna blow the brains
out of whoever shot me!
230
00:25:56,223 --> 00:25:59,017
You go after the one with
the Major's body, Saito.
231
00:25:59,226 --> 00:26:00,685
You're the only one who saw her.
232
00:26:00,894 --> 00:26:02,562
I'll do both!
233
00:26:02,771 --> 00:26:05,023
So what now, Major?
234
00:26:05,232 --> 00:26:08,026
Paz, you're on the embassy.
Borma, you're on the bomb site.
235
00:26:08,235 --> 00:26:10,570
Figure out whether this was
an operation on two fronts.
236
00:26:10,779 --> 00:26:13,031
What about Kurutsu and
company's cyberbrains?
237
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,036
They're too damaged for me to read.
I'll investigate her death and the virus.
238
00:26:18,245 --> 00:26:22,874
Let's say the chick with your body model
unleashed the virus. Can I kill her?
239
00:26:23,083 --> 00:26:27,420
Do corpses give us info on the ringleader?
Quit the kill shot habit, idiot.
240
00:26:28,421 --> 00:26:31,258
Are the rookie and I
goin' after the perps, then?
241
00:26:31,466 --> 00:26:33,885
They oughta be halfway
around the world by now.
242
00:26:34,094 --> 00:26:35,887
Nah, if their goal is to
mess with domestic affairs,
243
00:26:36,096 --> 00:26:39,391
they'll have operatives in our government
who can't move right away.
244
00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:45,063
In which case, there's a third party
who used these guys and then iced them.
245
00:26:45,272 --> 00:26:50,235
I'll pray they're foreigners.
I'm sick of killing my countrymen.
246
00:26:50,443 --> 00:26:55,198
Do background checks on everyone.
Don't get tripped up by petty spy battles.
247
00:26:59,452 --> 00:27:01,121
Special Advisor Fujimoto...
248
00:27:07,961 --> 00:27:11,089
I came for the DNA testing on his body.
249
00:27:11,298 --> 00:27:15,260
He's not recognizable anymore, after all...
250
00:27:15,468 --> 00:27:18,305
I promise to find the culprit.
251
00:27:18,513 --> 00:27:20,265
My mind is so mixed up
252
00:27:20,473 --> 00:27:23,435
that when they question me,
I can't even remember yesterday.
253
00:27:23,643 --> 00:27:26,771
Or what Father and I last talked about...
254
00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:30,608
I've experienced that, on the battlefield.
255
00:27:30,817 --> 00:27:34,154
Did your memories come back?
256
00:27:34,362 --> 00:27:37,907
All of them. I'll never forget again.
257
00:27:43,330 --> 00:27:48,460
Right before he died, he issued
some kind of directive to me.
258
00:27:48,668 --> 00:27:51,671
But someone jammed the signal.
259
00:27:56,009 --> 00:28:01,931
Please... I want you to tell me
his last message for me.
260
00:28:06,019 --> 00:28:07,854
Oh, and...
261
00:28:09,022 --> 00:28:11,524
Could we have dinner sometime?
262
00:28:11,733 --> 00:28:12,525
Pardon?
263
00:28:12,734 --> 00:28:15,612
I'd like to talk to you again, if that's all right.
264
00:28:17,072 --> 00:28:20,033
There aren't many restaurants I can go to.
265
00:28:29,376 --> 00:28:31,002
lshikawa, I assume you heard.
266
00:28:31,211 --> 00:28:33,254
Yep. I'll find evidence.
267
00:28:43,223 --> 00:28:44,849
Want me to keep tabs on him, too?
268
00:28:45,058 --> 00:28:48,520
Get the perps' Net and don't
do anything uncalled-for.
269
00:28:48,728 --> 00:28:52,524
Who tries to pick up women
the day after his dad dies?
270
00:28:52,732 --> 00:28:54,025
Not to mention the Major!
271
00:28:54,234 --> 00:28:56,361
They probably hit it off from the start.
272
00:28:56,569 --> 00:29:00,573
Rich third-generation politicians
don't meet her type every day.
273
00:29:00,782 --> 00:29:04,786
Now let's get to work, old-timer.
Can't waste our new authority.
274
00:29:18,091 --> 00:29:20,593
It's been 900 hours since
I last saw someone move.
275
00:29:21,594 --> 00:29:24,222
I heard about Unit 501 being privatized,
276
00:29:24,431 --> 00:29:26,891
but I didn't realize it would
become an automated factory.
277
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:29,561
Everyone went to work for Harimadara.
278
00:29:29,769 --> 00:29:33,064
What did you want? A factory tour?
279
00:29:33,273 --> 00:29:36,067
Why was Kurutsu at that meeting?
280
00:29:36,276 --> 00:29:38,236
For profit and survival.
281
00:29:38,445 --> 00:29:39,946
Ambassador Wong and the PM
282
00:29:40,155 --> 00:29:43,575
were working on an agreement to avoid
a prosthetics development dead end.
283
00:29:43,783 --> 00:29:45,743
To keep production lines going
284
00:29:45,952 --> 00:29:48,580
by deliberately delaying
technological improvements.
285
00:29:48,788 --> 00:29:53,585
Doesn't the government give research grants
so that development won't dead-end?
286
00:29:53,793 --> 00:29:56,254
It's the opposite.
Most of the existing prosthetics
287
00:29:56,463 --> 00:29:59,466
will be impossible to version up
within the next generation.
288
00:29:59,674 --> 00:30:03,761
Others weren't full cyborgs from birth like you.
289
00:30:03,970 --> 00:30:06,764
You were developed on
the premise of further growth,
290
00:30:06,973 --> 00:30:10,310
thanks to the keen insight
of your designer, Dr. Kusanagi.
291
00:30:10,518 --> 00:30:13,271
So you're making parts here?
292
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,815
Yes, to keep us alive.
293
00:30:16,024 --> 00:30:18,943
Technology conservation
keeps vested interests going,
294
00:30:19,152 --> 00:30:22,447
while a technological revolution means
control of an enormous market share.
295
00:30:22,655 --> 00:30:26,993
Kurutsu bet on the former, and was
annihilated by the latter's system.
296
00:30:28,036 --> 00:30:29,287
That makes a strong motive
297
00:30:29,496 --> 00:30:33,750
for the perp to kill the ambassador
and the PM in the same hit.
298
00:30:35,168 --> 00:30:37,504
Thanks for telling me.
299
00:30:37,712 --> 00:30:39,797
You should say hello to your parents.
300
00:30:40,006 --> 00:30:41,174
Another time.
301
00:30:41,382 --> 00:30:47,514
Come whenever you like. Much like us,
they're not going anywhere.
302
00:30:50,683 --> 00:30:54,479
Koichi Sawada, former Army
armored division signal man.
303
00:30:54,687 --> 00:30:57,023
Would a military Net admin really hole up here?
304
00:30:57,232 --> 00:31:01,194
If the access logs left in the perps'
cyberbrains are right, he did.
305
00:31:06,241 --> 00:31:07,492
Logicoma.
306
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:10,370
I see one person's heat signature.
307
00:31:10,578 --> 00:31:12,163
And nobody's dead?
308
00:31:12,372 --> 00:31:14,165
My investigation doesn't go that far.
309
00:31:14,374 --> 00:31:19,796
Dead men tell no tales. He'd better be alive,
or we're back where we started.
310
00:31:37,230 --> 00:31:39,232
You're a dangerous guest.
311
00:31:41,234 --> 00:31:43,152
Learn to shut your door.
312
00:31:46,406 --> 00:31:50,868
I thought someone might come to
speak with me. Did you need something?
313
00:31:51,077 --> 00:31:53,705
Koichi Sawada, I presume?
We're part of a special squad.
314
00:31:53,913 --> 00:31:56,583
We'd like to ask you a few questions
about the Prime Minister's assassination.
315
00:32:01,421 --> 00:32:02,380
What's that data?
316
00:32:02,589 --> 00:32:04,591
Soldiers' last words.
317
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:09,887
They have no money to pass down,
so they only send their dying messages.
318
00:32:10,096 --> 00:32:14,892
They program them to be automatically
sent to me after they kill themselves.
319
00:32:15,101 --> 00:32:18,938
Since they have no families, they choose me,
an admin they've never even met.
320
00:32:19,147 --> 00:32:21,899
I wish they'd at least come talk to me...
321
00:32:22,108 --> 00:32:24,444
ls someone dead?
322
00:32:24,652 --> 00:32:28,740
Somewhere out there, yeah.
You stand by until we get back.
323
00:32:28,948 --> 00:32:30,533
Okay!
324
00:32:31,826 --> 00:32:34,078
Get any transmissions that hinted
at the Prime Minister's assassination?
325
00:32:34,287 --> 00:32:39,208
Not once. I do have the
occupiers' testaments, though.
326
00:32:41,294 --> 00:32:42,754
Are there any you've lost contact with?
327
00:32:42,962 --> 00:32:45,757
Plenty. I'll forward you a list.
328
00:32:45,965 --> 00:32:47,925
Anybody you figure was in command?
329
00:32:48,134 --> 00:32:53,765
Hmm, Army Colonel Haruyoshi Nada
would have the most clout.
330
00:32:53,973 --> 00:32:56,267
He was an informal advisor
to Vice-Minister Kitahara,
331
00:32:56,476 --> 00:32:59,187
but he disappeared before the incident.
332
00:33:00,980 --> 00:33:03,775
You come talk to me first, too.
333
00:33:03,983 --> 00:33:05,485
Why me?
334
00:33:05,693 --> 00:33:08,613
Most suicides are full cyborgs.
335
00:33:08,821 --> 00:33:12,659
Cyberbrain standards change,
meaning they can't use the newer prosthetics,
336
00:33:12,867 --> 00:33:15,161
so they fall apart while still alive.
337
00:33:20,333 --> 00:33:22,335
Like me.
338
00:33:23,503 --> 00:33:28,883
Without my role to play as a relay point,
I would have killed myself, too.
339
00:33:32,011 --> 00:33:38,351
If the cyberbrain version you chose
doesn't fit the tide of the times later,
340
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:41,270
this is what prosthetization dooms you to.
341
00:33:45,566 --> 00:33:47,318
What did you do with the dead person?
342
00:33:47,527 --> 00:33:49,362
We couldn't do anything.
343
00:33:49,570 --> 00:33:53,700
If he can't be repaired,
I recommend recovering his data!
344
00:33:53,908 --> 00:33:57,495
You can't recover his life
or his Ghost if he's dead.
345
00:33:57,704 --> 00:34:03,334
What a badly designed unit.
Have you ever died, Mr. Batou?
346
00:34:03,543 --> 00:34:07,505
I was supposed to, but I wound
up a full cyborg instead.
347
00:34:07,714 --> 00:34:11,718
Are you working as one of the
Major's parts so that you can die?
348
00:34:11,926 --> 00:34:13,428
Hey. now!
349
00:34:16,055 --> 00:34:20,685
A stud like me doesn't die too easily. Got it?
350
00:34:20,893 --> 00:34:25,106
Yes! Thank you for another
valuable learning experience!
351
00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:31,195
Request it through Foreign Affairs.
352
00:34:31,404 --> 00:34:36,534
We're victims here. I won't allow you
to "strip them of military affiliation."
353
00:34:36,743 --> 00:34:39,287
I want compensation from the government.
354
00:34:42,415 --> 00:34:44,375
That "victim" is trouble.
355
00:34:44,584 --> 00:34:47,378
That was Robert Lee,
the Far East Trade Representative.
356
00:34:47,587 --> 00:34:49,547
He's also an infamous fixer.
357
00:34:49,756 --> 00:34:53,217
He almost got deported once
at the Americans' request,
358
00:34:53,426 --> 00:34:55,928
but he weaseled his way out of it.
359
00:34:56,137 --> 00:34:59,724
He's got balls. For all he knows,
he might be attacked again.
360
00:34:59,932 --> 00:35:03,227
He's probably got a lot of secrets
he doesn't want exposed.
361
00:35:03,436 --> 00:35:08,399
Makes me want to know who
arranged the PM's secret talks.
362
00:35:08,608 --> 00:35:11,736
And who leaked their location.
363
00:35:11,944 --> 00:35:16,449
Tell the Major I'm always open
to a joint investigation.
364
00:35:34,842 --> 00:35:36,761
Standards are the national
borders for corporations,
365
00:35:36,969 --> 00:35:39,972
just as they are for cyberbrains and prosthetics.
366
00:35:40,181 --> 00:35:42,642
No country relinquishes
its borders just because
367
00:35:42,850 --> 00:35:45,269
national boundaries give
rise to technology gaps.
368
00:35:45,478 --> 00:35:50,274
Lt. Col. Kurutsu and I were trying
to find the way to the next epoch.
369
00:35:50,483 --> 00:35:53,486
Aren't you the ones who've
profited from a system
370
00:35:53,694 --> 00:35:57,114
that transcends those borders,
Deputy Director Amagata?
371
00:35:57,323 --> 00:35:58,991
That's no longer my title.
372
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,453
Kurutsu told me the same thing--
that a day was bound to come
373
00:36:02,662 --> 00:36:06,123
when cyberbrain Nets would
transcend even corporate borders.
374
00:36:06,332 --> 00:36:08,626
That's a long way off yet.
375
00:36:08,835 --> 00:36:14,131
If you feel you're in danger, I recommend
our protection and monitoring.
376
00:36:14,340 --> 00:36:20,012
That's not necessary. Your former
colleagues will protect my company.
377
00:36:27,895 --> 00:36:29,146
Major.
378
00:36:29,355 --> 00:36:30,648
You've got the info?
379
00:36:30,857 --> 00:36:35,987
No joy with the jamming yet, but I did
find a data transfer from Kurutsu.
380
00:36:36,195 --> 00:36:39,657
It was an outside transmission,
automatically sent one minute after the blast.
381
00:36:39,866 --> 00:36:42,994
And it wasn't some testament
sent to the military Net, either.
382
00:36:43,202 --> 00:36:45,913
Give me the address. I'll go.
383
00:36:58,384 --> 00:37:02,346
So, all the members of the 501
are corporate employees now?
384
00:37:02,555 --> 00:37:04,682
Or are you research subjects?
385
00:37:04,891 --> 00:37:07,518
Please stay out of this, Kusanagi.
386
00:37:07,727 --> 00:37:09,061
Instructor lbachi.
387
00:37:09,270 --> 00:37:14,066
We'll get justice for Kurutsu.
Don't involve yourself any further.
388
00:37:14,275 --> 00:37:19,363
You're an outcast with no developmental
organization who just self-modifies.
389
00:37:19,572 --> 00:37:23,743
Get in our way, and I really
will take you out this time.
390
00:37:35,254 --> 00:37:38,215
Keep tabs on everyone at
Harimadara from the 501.
391
00:37:38,424 --> 00:37:39,717
Expect them to obstruct our investigation.
392
00:37:39,926 --> 00:37:43,888
Roger. They probably want to retaliate anyway.
393
00:37:44,096 --> 00:37:47,433
I found the plan for averting
dead ends in some government docs.
394
00:37:47,642 --> 00:37:51,562
There's a security plan set up based on
what happened over 20 years ago
395
00:37:51,771 --> 00:37:53,731
when they tried the same national policy.
396
00:37:53,940 --> 00:37:55,775
Security? What happened?
397
00:37:55,983 --> 00:37:57,944
A ton of people went missing.
398
00:37:58,152 --> 00:38:01,405
At the top of the list are a prosthetics
researcher and his pregnant wife.
399
00:38:01,614 --> 00:38:05,117
They were last seen at the site
of a chemical weapons explosion.
400
00:38:09,830 --> 00:38:15,836
Some organization is keeping their
bodies for research... Are you listening?
401
00:38:18,464 --> 00:38:23,302
I'll have my Als analyze the data.
Find out the connection with these crimes.
402
00:38:32,645 --> 00:38:34,689
They tell me you're with another unit now.
403
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:41,278
We have more non-military companies
interviewing here recently.
404
00:38:41,487 --> 00:38:44,281
Now we foster a broader range of personnel.
405
00:38:44,490 --> 00:38:46,784
Are they good purchases for the corporations?
406
00:38:46,993 --> 00:38:50,162
The point is that we can promise
these children a future.
407
00:38:53,666 --> 00:38:55,167
They're over there.
408
00:39:03,217 --> 00:39:04,468
Hello.
409
00:39:04,677 --> 00:39:07,680
Hello. What's your name?
410
00:39:07,888 --> 00:39:09,306
Chris.
411
00:39:09,515 --> 00:39:13,978
I'm Motoko Kusanagi. I used to live here.
412
00:39:14,186 --> 00:39:15,980
Do you feel nostalgic?
413
00:39:16,188 --> 00:39:20,192
Yes, I suppose it does bring back memories.
414
00:39:20,401 --> 00:39:21,819
Do you know Kurutsu?
415
00:39:22,028 --> 00:39:26,490
Everyone here does. She was
going to build a future for us.
416
00:39:26,699 --> 00:39:29,493
But she died.
417
00:39:29,702 --> 00:39:31,662
May I listen to her message?
418
00:39:31,871 --> 00:39:33,372
Yes.
419
00:39:42,923 --> 00:39:50,181
If you are watching this, it means
I'm no longer of this world.
420
00:39:50,389 --> 00:39:57,021
Check your individual Nets for the rights,
assets, and duties I've assigned you.
421
00:39:57,229 --> 00:39:59,732
I'm sure you're worried, but there is a future.
422
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:03,903
If you believe in the Third World,
we'll meet again one day.
423
00:40:05,404 --> 00:40:07,239
"Third World"?
424
00:40:08,783 --> 00:40:11,744
A world not of people or things, but of data.
425
00:40:11,952 --> 00:40:16,624
Do you believe that
there's someplace we can go
426
00:40:16,832 --> 00:40:20,586
even if we become unable to swap
prosthetics and we can't go on living?
427
00:40:22,463 --> 00:40:24,715
That's not something I know.
428
00:40:24,924 --> 00:40:26,884
Is this the only message?
429
00:40:27,093 --> 00:40:28,594
Yes.
430
00:40:30,137 --> 00:40:31,847
Will we meet again?
431
00:40:34,433 --> 00:40:37,269
Good idea. Let's.
432
00:40:46,779 --> 00:40:50,783
Why meet up to talk? Are you
implying my cyber lobby is bugged?
433
00:40:50,991 --> 00:40:53,077
No, it's just... It's important
to talk over a meal sometimes
434
00:40:53,285 --> 00:40:56,247
instead of just doing it
via cyberbrain, you know?
435
00:40:56,455 --> 00:40:57,957
What are you talking about?
436
00:40:58,165 --> 00:41:03,337
You're the one who chose to bring this
flesh guy into our unified-spec team.
437
00:41:09,969 --> 00:41:14,807
Our rookie's afraid you
might secretly be a robot.
438
00:41:15,015 --> 00:41:18,602
I didn't go that far! I just want to
deepen our understanding and trust--
439
00:41:18,811 --> 00:41:20,604
He says this is a terrible working environment:
440
00:41:20,813 --> 00:41:23,774
No vacation, no fun, and no cherry
blossom viewing even though it's spring.
441
00:41:23,983 --> 00:41:25,818
I didn't say that!
442
00:41:37,538 --> 00:41:39,623
So, about the Ministry faction...
443
00:41:39,832 --> 00:41:43,502
The eleven hostage-takers,
plus Colonel Nada and seven MIAs,
444
00:41:43,711 --> 00:41:46,172
all left the same testament.
445
00:41:46,380 --> 00:41:51,302
Meaning they're all lying low somewhere,
and they're likely to strike again.
446
00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:55,139
Colonel Nada's testament has
an extra line, and it's a weird one.
447
00:41:55,347 --> 00:41:58,976
He said he'd "received a gift
from the Third World."
448
00:41:59,185 --> 00:42:03,314
Doesn't that mean he got
the virus from the broker?
449
00:42:03,522 --> 00:42:05,608
No... It's weird.
450
00:42:11,864 --> 00:42:14,533
"Third World"? Is this some occult thing?
451
00:42:14,742 --> 00:42:18,996
Find out if anyone at the Ministry of Defense
or affiliated companies uses that phrase.
452
00:42:19,205 --> 00:42:21,373
Hire some more people, dammit.
453
00:42:21,582 --> 00:42:23,375
I will if I find optimal parts.
454
00:42:23,584 --> 00:42:25,336
Calling us parts again?
455
00:42:25,544 --> 00:42:26,545
Got a problem?
456
00:42:26,754 --> 00:42:31,842
The rookie says you're a crappy leader
who talks about people like things.
457
00:42:32,051 --> 00:42:34,011
Seriously, I didn't go that far!
458
00:42:34,220 --> 00:42:35,512
Report for ya, Major.
459
00:42:35,721 --> 00:42:40,351
From the confiscated rifle and what I've
seen at the crime scene, it was an RMC.
460
00:42:40,559 --> 00:42:43,020
They used a remotely controlled
machine gun, not a human sniper.
461
00:42:43,229 --> 00:42:47,024
Someone did the shot, the virus,
and remote-controlled a body at the same time?
462
00:42:47,233 --> 00:42:50,361
That's not the Major's body model--
that's the Major!
463
00:42:50,569 --> 00:42:52,696
Just makes me wanna kill her more.
464
00:42:52,905 --> 00:42:56,909
Also, I keep sensing someone watching me.
465
00:42:57,117 --> 00:43:01,080
What a coincidence-so do I.
466
00:43:06,252 --> 00:43:07,753
Me, too, actually.
467
00:43:07,962 --> 00:43:09,380
Ape-Face from Section 9?
468
00:43:09,588 --> 00:43:11,548
No, this feels different.
469
00:43:11,757 --> 00:43:14,260
I found something that's probably related.
470
00:43:14,468 --> 00:43:17,805
Come to my lobby, and I'll show
you something interesting.
471
00:43:20,766 --> 00:43:22,434
What'd you wanna show us?
472
00:43:22,643 --> 00:43:27,481
I used a forensic search to reproduce the
movements of objects caught in the blast.
473
00:43:45,791 --> 00:43:50,421
This is pyro reverse measurement--
it's like replaying the explosion backwards.
474
00:43:50,629 --> 00:43:52,339
Pretty amazing.
475
00:44:07,980 --> 00:44:10,774
The case with the bomb in it
used fingerprint recognition.
476
00:44:10,983 --> 00:44:13,402
Only the Prime Minister
or his aides could open it.
477
00:44:18,824 --> 00:44:19,992
A surveillance cam?
478
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,786
It's military, but it's got a
limited range of transmission.
479
00:44:22,995 --> 00:44:25,497
I did random testing with some white noise.
480
00:44:25,706 --> 00:44:29,001
This is cheap encryption by Al.
481
00:44:29,209 --> 00:44:31,754
Okay, I'm connected to our Peeping Tom's Net.
482
00:44:38,677 --> 00:44:40,137
I want your name and outfit!
483
00:44:40,346 --> 00:44:43,849
And FYI, my assassin's itching to kill someone.
484
00:44:56,362 --> 00:45:00,532
I'm with the Treaty Review Department,
Section D! Contact them!
485
00:45:00,741 --> 00:45:03,077
He's on loan to Foreign Affairs
from Public Security.
486
00:45:05,037 --> 00:45:08,207
They're involved with the PM's secret talks?
487
00:45:24,723 --> 00:45:27,226
I'm Akiyama, Treaty Review
Department section leader.
488
00:45:27,434 --> 00:45:30,062
Give me the short and sweet explanation.
489
00:45:30,270 --> 00:45:32,689
We captured her on camera a month ago.
490
00:45:32,898 --> 00:45:36,068
Fire-Starter, the supposedly impossible trifecta
491
00:45:36,276 --> 00:45:39,405
of brainwashing, Ghost infiltration,
and false memories...
492
00:45:39,613 --> 00:45:44,535
She's the seller. A crazy bitch who
goes by the same name as the virus.
493
00:45:44,743 --> 00:45:47,913
You approached her to get the virus,
and you fell into her trap.
494
00:45:48,122 --> 00:45:52,376
So you put tabs on me, since we
have the same body. You're a fool.
495
00:45:52,584 --> 00:45:57,423
You're a super-wizard-class hacker.
I'd be stupid not to suspect you.
496
00:46:02,094 --> 00:46:04,555
It was two officers that she manipulated.
497
00:46:04,763 --> 00:46:05,597
Office rs?
498
00:46:05,806 --> 00:46:08,892
People who helped implement
the PM's established policies.
499
00:46:09,101 --> 00:46:11,562
One of them was Colonel Haruyoshi Nada.
500
00:46:11,770 --> 00:46:13,564
The one who went missing before the incident?
501
00:46:13,772 --> 00:46:18,235
His job was to isolate the radical
elements within the Ministry faction.
502
00:46:18,444 --> 00:46:22,072
And then he up and pulled the trigger
on a two-pronged terrorist attack!
503
00:46:22,281 --> 00:46:24,408
It's like he had a personality transplant.
504
00:46:24,616 --> 00:46:29,246
He was infected by the virus.
Would the broker go that far, though?
505
00:46:29,455 --> 00:46:32,916
Enemies of the PM must have
bought the virus at auction.
506
00:46:33,125 --> 00:46:37,588
I want to find out who they were,
and get hold of them and the broker.
507
00:46:37,796 --> 00:46:39,673
Who was the other officer?
508
00:46:43,135 --> 00:46:46,472
Yoko Kitahara, Vice-Minister of Defense.
509
00:46:50,309 --> 00:46:52,311
Wh-What's the meaning of this?!
510
00:46:56,315 --> 00:46:57,441
Don't move!
511
00:46:57,649 --> 00:47:01,820
You protocol-ignoring scumbags!
You're under arrest for unlawful investigation!
512
00:47:02,029 --> 00:47:03,530
Knock it off.
513
00:47:06,992 --> 00:47:10,621
I... never expected this...
514
00:47:10,829 --> 00:47:12,706
Let's hear your story.
515
00:47:16,502 --> 00:47:20,839
She was infected by Nada, and she
induced the Ministry faction's flare-up.
516
00:47:21,048 --> 00:47:23,300
She manipulated public opinion
for the "Agency" downgrade
517
00:47:23,509 --> 00:47:26,470
and the layoffs of several thousand
troops in the restructuring.
518
00:47:26,678 --> 00:47:28,847
Was she involved in the PM's assassination?
519
00:47:29,056 --> 00:47:31,016
Not that we've discovered.
520
00:47:31,225 --> 00:47:33,018
So a Foreign Affairs squad
521
00:47:33,227 --> 00:47:37,147
and the backbone of the MoD got
used in a plot to assassinate the PM.
522
00:47:37,356 --> 00:47:39,483
The virus itself hasn't been found.
523
00:47:39,691 --> 00:47:41,818
If it's all this woman's scheme...
524
00:47:42,027 --> 00:47:44,988
I saw this from the cyberbrain
infringement stage.
525
00:47:45,197 --> 00:47:47,324
I'm aware that I'm a victim.
526
00:47:47,533 --> 00:47:50,327
Who orchestrated this to
make this look like my set-up?
527
00:47:50,536 --> 00:47:51,495
Excuse me?!
528
00:47:51,703 --> 00:47:53,997
He's not Section 9, is he?
529
00:47:54,206 --> 00:47:56,500
That's Kuwahara, head of
intelligence's strategy office.
530
00:47:56,708 --> 00:47:59,169
He's after the broker who could be your twin.
531
00:47:59,378 --> 00:48:00,170
Aramaki!
532
00:48:00,379 --> 00:48:05,676
So it was the intelligence bureau that
outbid the treaties bureau for the virus?
533
00:48:05,884 --> 00:48:08,011
I've got nothing to do with the treaties bureau.
534
00:48:08,220 --> 00:48:10,180
The purchase was a ruse to arrest the broker,
535
00:48:10,389 --> 00:48:12,849
and she got away from us
before we could secure the virus.
536
00:48:13,058 --> 00:48:15,561
I'll pretend I believe that.
537
00:48:15,769 --> 00:48:19,022
Right now we need everyone
working together on this.
538
00:48:19,231 --> 00:48:21,775
Quit being stubborn and
team up with us, Major.
539
00:48:24,903 --> 00:48:27,698
An organization that locks up
witnesses to protect itself
540
00:48:27,906 --> 00:48:29,741
deserves to be punished along with the perps.
541
00:48:29,950 --> 00:48:32,369
You're just some upstart rogue squad!
542
00:48:32,578 --> 00:48:37,833
I'll call you when we take her down,
so you can have something to do afterward.
543
00:48:47,634 --> 00:48:52,723
That squad has traced things
back to Kitahara, Fire-Starter.
544
00:48:52,931 --> 00:48:56,393
They're nuisances. Can't you
take them over with your virus?
545
00:48:56,602 --> 00:48:58,228
No need to panic.
546
00:48:58,437 --> 00:49:01,064
Intelligence and the Treaty Review
Department are both under my thumb,
547
00:49:01,273 --> 00:49:04,735
and the truth is the biggest trap,
the biggest tragedy, of all.
548
00:49:04,943 --> 00:49:08,905
Simply taking advantage of people's
patriotism isn't a foolproof plan.
549
00:49:09,114 --> 00:49:12,576
We should eliminate any possibility
of them tracing this back to us.
550
00:49:12,784 --> 00:49:15,120
That will cost you.
551
00:49:36,141 --> 00:49:40,646
Motoko Kusanagi...
Now, when shall I steal your name?
552
00:49:45,025 --> 00:49:49,988
Prime Minister Fujimoto definitely
issued some sort of directive.
553
00:49:50,197 --> 00:49:55,452
And our only related lead is that
Vice-Minister Kitahara remembers
554
00:49:55,661 --> 00:49:58,955
a ghost ship of unknown origin
off the coast of Niihama.
555
00:49:59,164 --> 00:50:03,669
Nada's hideout... And yet
intelligence isn't making a move.
556
00:50:03,877 --> 00:50:07,964
If Nada's infected like
the treaties bureau says...
557
00:50:08,173 --> 00:50:10,676
Odds are ten to one it's a trap.
558
00:50:11,843 --> 00:50:15,639
The ship's likely location is near
a cluster of undersea cables.
559
00:50:15,847 --> 00:50:17,808
Could be a spy vessel.
560
00:50:18,016 --> 00:50:21,645
This is all the info we have, thanks to
intelligence stealing Kitahara from us.
561
00:50:21,853 --> 00:50:22,688
Now what?
562
00:50:22,896 --> 00:50:25,107
We find out the rest by taking over the ship.
563
00:50:27,359 --> 00:50:30,153
You just love storming
enemy positions, don't you?
564
00:50:30,362 --> 00:50:33,365
Quit the squad if you've got doubts.
565
00:50:33,573 --> 00:50:35,826
Everything ties back to the PM.
566
00:50:36,034 --> 00:50:42,541
Will you get to the truth, or back
out now? Let your Ghosts decide.
567
00:51:30,589 --> 00:51:34,760
There's a new home
where you're headed, yeah?
568
00:51:34,968 --> 00:51:39,848
Not a bloody battlefield
or a tight corner to die in.
569
00:51:43,602 --> 00:51:49,107
I plan to get us a position
that suits us, if nothing else.
570
00:51:59,951 --> 00:52:03,413
Just stand by. We don't
know what we're facing.
571
00:52:03,622 --> 00:52:06,917
"An offensive unit with top priority"...
572
00:52:07,125 --> 00:52:12,297
Plenty have talked about it,
but nobody's made it a reality...
573
00:52:12,506 --> 00:52:14,132
...until now.
574
00:52:20,514 --> 00:52:22,516
No sign of anyone on board.
575
00:52:40,992 --> 00:52:42,494
Incoming!
576
00:52:47,666 --> 00:52:49,584
They're pulling out the tanks from the get-go?!
577
00:52:51,211 --> 00:52:53,171
I knew I should've stayed home!
578
00:52:53,380 --> 00:52:54,881
Saito!
579
00:52:56,174 --> 00:52:58,176
I can't pick them up!
580
00:53:00,387 --> 00:53:02,013
Shit.
581
00:53:03,515 --> 00:53:08,311
That's type-2902 thermo-optical camouflage--
Kyo-Re's newest release!
582
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,399
How much capital would it take to get
that for your tanks and your troops?
583
00:53:16,027 --> 00:53:18,071
I'm taking the ship. Cover me!
584
00:53:20,031 --> 00:53:22,492
HOW, exactly?!
585
00:53:22,701 --> 00:53:25,245
I'll show you how it's done, rookie.
586
00:53:39,718 --> 00:53:41,219
Go!
587
00:54:40,612 --> 00:54:42,280
Go- Major!
588
00:55:02,467 --> 00:55:05,470
I've reached the intermediate security server.
589
00:55:05,679 --> 00:55:08,056
I have eyes on the barrier's gate array.
590
00:55:09,975 --> 00:55:12,769
It's a variant on Army tactical defense barriers.
591
00:55:12,978 --> 00:55:18,108
Lots of entrances, but only one exit...
This'll be a pain.
592
00:55:18,316 --> 00:55:19,943
Opening a tunnel.
593
00:55:20,151 --> 00:55:24,114
Shit, it's full of null data.
They're giving me the slip!
594
00:55:24,322 --> 00:55:27,450
This fake looks familiar. The real data
is on the other side of the nulls.
595
00:55:27,659 --> 00:55:29,285
I'll look for a way around.
596
00:55:29,494 --> 00:55:31,830
I don't want to wait. I'll just force it open.
597
00:55:42,173 --> 00:55:45,802
The broadcast Van's active protection
burned out! Close the connection!
598
00:55:46,011 --> 00:55:47,512
Too late!
599
00:56:03,570 --> 00:56:05,071
What?
600
00:56:07,574 --> 00:56:10,535
Jeez, how many hidden servers do you have?
601
00:56:10,744 --> 00:56:13,204
I don't storm a place unarmed.
602
00:56:13,413 --> 00:56:15,874
I've taken control. The info--
603
00:56:17,876 --> 00:56:19,711
What is this?
604
00:56:20,712 --> 00:56:23,048
Signals 2, 6, and 7 lost.
605
00:56:23,256 --> 00:56:25,341
Number and positioning
of enemy troops unknown.
606
00:56:25,550 --> 00:56:28,219
They've taken our fire-control room!
607
00:56:51,076 --> 00:56:53,495
Okay, I've got him.
608
00:56:57,457 --> 00:56:59,417
We're done here, too.
609
00:57:04,756 --> 00:57:06,257
Hit the deck!
610
00:57:10,804 --> 00:57:12,055
Another one?!
611
00:57:12,263 --> 00:57:13,932
Mr. Batou!
612
00:57:19,938 --> 00:57:21,106
Stop!
613
00:57:21,314 --> 00:57:23,399
When are you gonna get a cockpit?!
614
00:57:23,608 --> 00:57:25,485
The request is being processed!
615
00:57:26,820 --> 00:57:28,279
Military restructuring...?
616
00:57:28,488 --> 00:57:32,534
Why my team? Who the hell--
617
00:57:36,621 --> 00:57:38,790
So that's how it is?
618
00:57:42,293 --> 00:57:45,088
Get out of there now, Major!
619
00:57:45,296 --> 00:57:47,674
What's your status, Major?!
620
00:57:54,514 --> 00:57:56,599
Hey, what the hell's going on?!
621
00:57:56,808 --> 00:57:58,685
I know we took over the ship.
622
00:57:58,893 --> 00:58:02,147
Somebody's remote-controlling
these from nearby.
623
00:58:03,815 --> 00:58:06,568
Saito! Find them and kill them!
624
00:58:07,485 --> 00:58:09,487
Give me more intel!
625
00:58:13,324 --> 00:58:14,826
That bitch!
626
00:58:17,370 --> 00:58:21,499
Oh, you're good. You can
work for me when she's dead.
627
00:58:28,506 --> 00:58:31,342
Dammit. She got away, guys!
628
00:58:40,018 --> 00:58:45,523
Why isn't anyone shooting at us?
Isn't their goal to recapture the ship?
629
00:58:45,732 --> 00:58:46,691
Everyone all right?
630
00:58:46,900 --> 00:58:48,484
Major?!
631
00:58:48,693 --> 00:58:49,652
What the--
632
00:58:49,861 --> 00:58:51,321
Did she use Ghost infiltration keys?
633
00:58:51,529 --> 00:58:53,323
She assembled us by force.
634
00:58:53,531 --> 00:58:56,034
There's no time, so I'll make this brief.
635
00:58:56,242 --> 00:58:59,996
I'm redoing the investigation
with a new hypothesis in mind.
636
00:59:00,205 --> 00:59:03,041
There's no need for us all to bear the risk.
637
00:59:03,249 --> 00:59:04,167
Major...?
638
00:59:04,375 --> 00:59:06,044
It's not her. Just projected data.
639
00:59:06,252 --> 00:59:09,881
I just declared this squad disbanded.
640
00:59:10,089 --> 00:59:10,882
Say What?!
641
00:59:11,090 --> 00:59:13,718
I'll leave recommendation
letters with Chief Aramaki.
642
00:59:13,927 --> 00:59:16,888
Choose for yourselves
where you want to transfer to.
643
00:59:17,096 --> 00:59:20,016
You're top-notch parts.
644
00:59:20,225 --> 00:59:26,231
When you're all together,
you perform better than I could alone.
645
00:59:29,067 --> 00:59:32,237
That's all. Obey your Ghosts.
646
00:59:35,114 --> 00:59:36,699
Her lobby's been shut down.
647
00:59:36,908 --> 00:59:39,702
She purged herself.
648
00:59:39,911 --> 00:59:42,538
She might've just cut us off.
649
00:59:42,747 --> 00:59:45,291
It's messed up either way.
650
00:59:52,924 --> 00:59:54,926
My ghost lock ain't working!
651
01:00:06,938 --> 01:00:09,315
A remote-controlled body...
652
01:00:32,505 --> 01:00:34,799
Was Colonel Nada captured?
653
01:00:36,968 --> 01:00:40,930
You're upset that the hearing
was indefinitely postponed?
654
01:00:41,139 --> 01:00:44,767
I don't even know what the truth is myself!
655
01:00:44,976 --> 01:00:46,644
I'm not upset.
656
01:01:29,187 --> 01:01:32,815
Send the repair bill to the Ministry of
Commerce or the Far East trade embassy.
657
01:01:33,024 --> 01:01:35,985
I'm borrowing another car.
658
01:01:36,194 --> 01:01:41,032
"Fire-Starter"... Was that just the
virus's code name during development,
659
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,826
or is it your own name?
660
01:01:44,035 --> 01:01:46,829
Is there a difference?
661
01:01:47,038 --> 01:01:52,335
I abandoned the spy vessel, just like
you asked. What more do you want?!
662
01:01:52,543 --> 01:01:55,546
We don't know whether
Kusanagi is dead or alive.
663
01:01:55,755 --> 01:01:58,841
Search your Net for her.
664
01:01:59,050 --> 01:02:05,223
Cooperate... Or else the biggest
scandal since the war is going public.
665
01:02:16,692 --> 01:02:20,696
"Section 9 Office"
666
01:02:20,696 --> 01:02:24,909
Vice-Minister Kitahara was assassinated,
and Colonel Nada is still status unknown.
667
01:02:25,118 --> 01:02:27,703
That makes your case hard to corroborate,
668
01:02:27,912 --> 01:02:30,706
and you've also lost your
investigative privileges.
669
01:02:30,915 --> 01:02:35,211
But you can stay on the investigation
if you do it as members of Section 9.
670
01:02:35,420 --> 01:02:36,963
Not interested.
671
01:02:38,464 --> 01:02:39,257
I'm outta here.
672
01:02:39,465 --> 01:02:40,383
Hey, wait--
673
01:02:40,591 --> 01:02:43,010
You guys are fine with this?!
674
01:02:49,475 --> 01:02:51,602
Where do you want to restart from?
675
01:02:52,937 --> 01:02:54,897
If the boat didn't give us anything,
676
01:02:55,106 --> 01:02:58,067
I'd look into anybody involved
who refuses to testify.
677
01:02:58,276 --> 01:03:01,404
You mean Robert Lee, the Far East trade rep.
678
01:03:01,612 --> 01:03:04,949
He's a formidable opponent.
Use Section 9's Net.
679
01:03:05,158 --> 01:03:06,659
Yes, sir!
680
01:03:11,456 --> 01:03:14,417
What you cultivated is starting to thrive.
681
01:03:14,625 --> 01:03:17,670
I won't let it be cut down, Major.
682
01:03:25,636 --> 01:03:27,805
There was this intel...
683
01:03:28,014 --> 01:03:33,102
Two developers, a married couple, went MIA
during the old project to avert dead-ending.
684
01:03:33,311 --> 01:03:34,770
I just did some digging.
685
01:03:34,979 --> 01:03:38,900
Their bodies are being kept by
Unit 501 for research purposes.
686
01:03:40,485 --> 01:03:43,613
You better not tell me the wife was pregnant.
687
01:03:43,821 --> 01:03:45,490
What are you talking about?
688
01:03:47,492 --> 01:03:51,120
Someone who's been a full cyborg since birth.
689
01:03:51,329 --> 01:03:53,331
They're the Major's parents?
690
01:03:53,539 --> 01:03:59,086
I can't be sure. The bodies are so
contaminated they can't even be lD'd.
691
01:04:01,005 --> 01:04:05,968
She was born without a body of her own,
and raised as Army equipment.
692
01:04:06,177 --> 01:04:08,638
It's not that she has nothing to lose...
693
01:04:08,846 --> 01:04:11,849
It's that she never had anything she could lose.
694
01:04:13,392 --> 01:04:18,523
Until the war ended and she
went independent, you're saying?
695
01:04:18,731 --> 01:04:21,150
So your take is that those vics
who might be her parents
696
01:04:21,359 --> 01:04:23,319
are the reason she's gone rogue?
697
01:04:23,528 --> 01:04:24,987
This is the Major.
698
01:04:25,196 --> 01:04:28,991
They're probably secondary to
something bigger she's after.
699
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:34,163
This is just me speculating, but I think
she saw something real bad on that ship.
700
01:04:34,372 --> 01:04:38,501
Bad enough to make her purge all of us.
701
01:04:38,709 --> 01:04:41,712
If you're implying she wants
to protect us, that's a laugh.
702
01:04:41,921 --> 01:04:44,340
She calls us "parts"!
703
01:04:44,549 --> 01:04:48,511
She talks like we're things, but she
doesn't treat us like things.
704
01:04:48,719 --> 01:04:52,056
Full cyborgs are parts anyway, really.
705
01:04:52,265 --> 01:04:54,892
Gotta join some organization
who'll do your maintenance,
706
01:04:55,101 --> 01:04:57,311
or fall apart while you're still alive.
707
01:05:10,074 --> 01:05:11,659
Where are you going?
708
01:05:13,119 --> 01:05:16,706
I'm not the type to obey my Ghost.
709
01:05:16,914 --> 01:05:19,584
What I can see with my own eyes is all there is.
710
01:05:23,421 --> 01:05:27,717
One ship, two tanks, and seven infantrymen.
711
01:05:27,925 --> 01:05:30,469
That was one expensive trap.
712
01:05:59,290 --> 01:06:01,375
What were they looking at?
713
01:06:16,140 --> 01:06:17,892
I came to talk.
714
01:06:24,315 --> 01:06:26,942
Sorry for asking you here out of the blue.
715
01:06:27,151 --> 01:06:29,612
I hear you want to work for us again.
716
01:06:29,820 --> 01:06:33,741
If you give me intel on
Major Kusanagi, I'll consider it.
717
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,496
You're the one doing the talking.
718
01:06:41,666 --> 01:06:46,337
My role as a relay point... is...
719
01:06:46,545 --> 01:06:50,132
Koichi Sawada, formerly of
the Army's armored division.
720
01:06:50,341 --> 01:06:53,177
That name matches one of the Ministry loyalists
721
01:06:53,386 --> 01:06:56,305
who died yesterday on a spy
ship of unknown affiliation.
722
01:06:56,514 --> 01:06:58,015
I...
723
01:07:01,852 --> 01:07:04,647
You've been implanted with false memories...
724
01:07:04,855 --> 01:07:07,024
...Colonel Haruyoshi Nada.
725
01:07:10,486 --> 01:07:11,821
"Uesawa Electrical Engineering
Kenichi Pazu"
726
01:07:23,249 --> 01:07:28,212
Damn you, lshikawa, do you think you can get
away with making enemies of your old unit?!
727
01:07:29,547 --> 01:07:32,842
This is filled with micromachines that
increase pain sensitivity 7,000-fold.
728
01:07:33,050 --> 01:07:35,344
It takes them five minutes
to reach your cyberbrain.
729
01:07:35,553 --> 01:07:37,012
It ain't the kind of thing you can withstand.
730
01:07:37,221 --> 01:07:40,182
Stop! Stop!
731
01:07:40,391 --> 01:07:41,976
Stop!
732
01:08:04,749 --> 01:08:06,250
From the inside?!
733
01:08:30,608 --> 01:08:32,109
Get in!
734
01:08:36,322 --> 01:08:39,283
The East Asian Federation bigwigs
and the cyborg with the Major's model
735
01:08:39,492 --> 01:08:41,577
have been together from the beginning.
736
01:08:41,786 --> 01:08:44,455
That rules out a terror strike on two fronts.
737
01:08:44,663 --> 01:08:46,916
Why were you at the embassy?
738
01:08:47,124 --> 01:08:50,753
I managed to play back a scrap of the data
739
01:08:50,961 --> 01:08:53,798
from that oversized e-paper at the bomb site.
740
01:08:56,008 --> 01:08:58,427
A 3D map of the embassy?
741
01:08:58,636 --> 01:09:01,889
Then the point of the PM's secret talks was...?
742
01:09:03,641 --> 01:09:05,601
The ship was being used
for domestic espionage
743
01:09:05,810 --> 01:09:08,646
under a secret deal with the Americans.
744
01:09:08,854 --> 01:09:12,107
Forget a scandal-this is
a national security issue!
745
01:09:12,316 --> 01:09:15,110
But you gave it up.
Why go so far to set up the Major?
746
01:09:15,319 --> 01:09:16,946
Who's the Prime Minister's enemy?!
747
01:09:17,154 --> 01:09:19,657
The PM wanted to use
the Defense Ministry faction
748
01:09:19,865 --> 01:09:22,660
to oust the rebels in the Ministry of Commerce.
749
01:09:22,868 --> 01:09:26,747
That's all I know! Please, give me the antidote!
750
01:09:36,173 --> 01:09:38,676
It's a vitamin injection, idiot.
751
01:09:53,858 --> 01:09:56,318
He's Colonel Nada?
752
01:09:56,527 --> 01:10:00,656
Maybe his sympathy for the rank
and file spawned his false memories.
753
01:10:00,865 --> 01:10:06,328
You think the host's desire and guilt
form the core of the false memories?
754
01:10:06,537 --> 01:10:11,000
And they left him alive as a card to play when
they wanted to intimidate the government.
755
01:10:11,208 --> 01:10:13,252
Unbelievable.
756
01:10:14,712 --> 01:10:16,338
After the incident,
Representative Lee took over
757
01:10:16,547 --> 01:10:20,676
a rare earth mine that had
been under Wong's jurisdiction.
758
01:10:20,885 --> 01:10:24,847
They were outwardly cooperative,
but they were competitors.
759
01:10:25,055 --> 01:10:28,559
This is all about war merchants
trying to crush each other.
760
01:10:28,767 --> 01:10:34,023
The PM must've helped with the
Ambassador's plan to kill the Representative.
761
01:10:34,231 --> 01:10:37,526
And the Representative counterattacked.
762
01:10:37,735 --> 01:10:41,864
Our broker provided both sides with the virus.
763
01:10:42,072 --> 01:10:44,074
Probably playing a double game.
764
01:10:44,283 --> 01:10:49,246
When you get down to it, this was a war
between the PM and the Federation!
765
01:10:57,087 --> 01:10:58,547
Got it.
766
01:10:58,756 --> 01:11:01,258
Someone's ordered the Major's arrest.
767
01:11:02,259 --> 01:11:03,761
Where are you going?
768
01:11:05,471 --> 01:11:12,061
Even the Major decided to go this one alone.
I know you guys won't act.
769
01:11:12,269 --> 01:11:14,063
Don't underestimate me.
770
01:11:14,271 --> 01:11:17,608
I'll leave the Major to you. Do not let her die.
771
01:11:39,004 --> 01:11:41,465
Major Kusanagi?
772
01:11:42,633 --> 01:11:46,929
Section 9 told me to call them if you showed up.
773
01:11:47,137 --> 01:11:49,264
You want to keep this secret even from them?
774
01:11:49,473 --> 01:11:53,185
That depends on you, Special Advisor Fujimoto.
775
01:12:25,676 --> 01:12:30,472
You carried the enemy's bomb to your father.
776
01:12:30,681 --> 01:12:32,516
Oh, God...
777
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:38,313
One more thing. My squad's budget--
I couldn't trace some of it.
778
01:12:38,522 --> 01:12:40,858
Where did that money come from?
779
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,655
I think it's a surplus from
privatizing a military wing...
780
01:12:46,864 --> 01:12:53,328
From breaking up a post called Unit 501.
781
01:12:53,537 --> 01:12:57,332
Please, put my memories back how they were!
782
01:12:57,541 --> 01:13:00,169
I can't bear these memories!
783
01:13:00,377 --> 01:13:03,172
I choose the truth.
784
01:13:03,380 --> 01:13:05,340
I don't want to exchange
my memories for fabricated ones,
785
01:13:05,549 --> 01:13:08,552
no matter how much my heart might wish it.
786
01:13:08,761 --> 01:13:10,471
Never again.
787
01:13:29,406 --> 01:13:31,992
A remote-controlled body...
788
01:13:38,916 --> 01:13:40,417
Kurutsu!
789
01:14:09,947 --> 01:14:12,032
Show me to the server floor.
790
01:14:54,658 --> 01:14:58,162
A virus development Net...
transmitting externally?!
791
01:15:14,011 --> 01:15:16,471
An attack barrier and a barrier maze.
792
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,516
Clearly that info is something
worth protecting to you two.
793
01:15:19,725 --> 01:15:22,352
Your brain associated us
with our old bodies, I see.
794
01:15:22,561 --> 01:15:24,980
We're sorry, but we're going to restrain you.
795
01:15:25,189 --> 01:15:26,315
On Kurutsu's orders?
796
01:15:26,523 --> 01:15:28,358
No, it's our collective will.
797
01:15:28,567 --> 01:15:30,485
Kurutsu is only one part.
798
01:15:30,694 --> 01:15:32,779
Then she is alive.
799
01:15:34,698 --> 01:15:36,491
Please don't fight, Kusanagi.
800
01:15:36,700 --> 01:15:39,077
We don't want to see you killed.
801
01:16:18,075 --> 01:16:21,787
That's enough. Leave it be, Kusanagi.
802
01:16:28,418 --> 01:16:30,087
Outcast.
803
01:16:43,267 --> 01:16:45,102
Out of my WHY!
804
01:17:30,856 --> 01:17:34,484
You've reached your limit, Kusanagi.
805
01:17:52,502 --> 01:17:54,921
Major!
806
01:18:15,192 --> 01:18:21,031
Yo. Awake now? I cracked your
secret lab to use it. No complaining.
807
01:18:21,239 --> 01:18:27,537
It ain't like you to lower your body's
functionality with implanted weapons.
808
01:18:27,746 --> 01:18:29,539
Why did you come?
809
01:18:29,748 --> 01:18:31,708
How about you just be honest and say,
810
01:18:31,917 --> 01:18:33,502
"As your leader I couldn't
order you to come with me,
811
01:18:33,710 --> 01:18:38,173
but as a human with a Ghost
I wanted to give you the choice"?
812
01:18:38,382 --> 01:18:39,341
Run.
813
01:18:39,549 --> 01:18:41,551
Sure, once you're out of the maze.
814
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,971
Until then, we're gonna do our own thing.
815
01:18:54,773 --> 01:18:56,525
I hope you can take responsibility for this!
816
01:18:56,733 --> 01:18:59,694
Don't worry. I'll use members of the unit.
817
01:18:59,903 --> 01:19:04,699
I'll have my subsidiaries give you soldiers.
Go through as many as you like.
818
01:19:04,908 --> 01:19:07,869
You don't mind battlefield-level casualties?
819
01:19:08,078 --> 01:19:11,206
It can't be helped.
This is a 500-billion-dollar business.
820
01:19:11,415 --> 01:19:15,752
Fools out to change the
world are a minority group.
821
01:19:15,961 --> 01:19:20,298
Isn't getting rid of those fast
what your "democracy" is about?
822
01:19:37,441 --> 01:19:39,401
Don't resist, Kusanagi.
823
01:19:39,609 --> 01:19:41,736
We don't want to see your brain fried.
824
01:19:41,945 --> 01:19:45,657
My barrier isn't that cheap.
825
01:19:51,788 --> 01:19:53,748
To think you reverse-breached the barrier...
826
01:19:53,957 --> 01:19:55,750
There'll be no going back for any of us.
827
01:19:55,959 --> 01:20:00,755
Tell me the real Kurutsu's location
and objective before that happens.
828
01:20:00,964 --> 01:20:05,760
We don't know her location.
Her having multiple bodies was top-secret.
829
01:20:05,969 --> 01:20:11,099
Her objective is the same as ever:
survive no matter who wins this.
830
01:20:11,308 --> 01:20:14,311
I assume you know this, but the
East Asian Federation's objectives
831
01:20:14,519 --> 01:20:18,773
are a technological revolution through
dead-ending and a monopoly on the market.
832
01:20:18,982 --> 01:20:22,611
Some children aren't facing a dead end yet.
833
01:20:22,819 --> 01:20:25,280
You'd turn them into merchandise?!
834
01:20:25,489 --> 01:20:27,991
They are our successors,
to whom we should leave everything.
835
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,160
They will become next-generation models
836
01:20:30,368 --> 01:20:32,787
and make long-term versioning up a reality.
837
01:20:32,996 --> 01:20:37,542
And you'll make them repeat all this?
Sell even their Ghosts?!
838
01:21:16,873 --> 01:21:18,416
Why, you...!
839
01:21:49,739 --> 01:21:52,200
You were always free.
840
01:21:52,409 --> 01:21:54,369
Constantly trying to create a future.
841
01:21:54,578 --> 01:21:57,247
We envy you that.
842
01:21:57,455 --> 01:21:59,541
You protected me...?!
843
01:21:59,749 --> 01:22:02,544
Our brains are at their limit anyway.
844
01:22:02,752 --> 01:22:05,547
We'll shift to the Third World
before they expire.
845
01:22:05,755 --> 01:22:09,593
Pray that we become part of the sea of data.
846
01:22:09,801 --> 01:22:14,097
Someday, someone may
be born who accesses you.
847
01:22:40,957 --> 01:22:42,500
There!
848
01:23:18,370 --> 01:23:18,953
Saito!
849
01:23:19,162 --> 01:23:21,539
How dare that bastard screw with me?!
850
01:23:30,173 --> 01:23:31,633
Hey guys, everybody alive?
851
01:23:31,841 --> 01:23:34,135
We can't repair you if you die, you know!
852
01:23:34,344 --> 01:23:37,013
We studs don't die!
853
01:24:07,043 --> 01:24:11,423
Why are you just standing there?
I'll replace you if you don't perform better.
854
01:24:12,882 --> 01:24:16,219
I was just about to show
my stuff, gorilla woman.
855
01:24:43,246 --> 01:24:44,748
Major!
856
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,763
You outcast scum!
857
01:25:20,158 --> 01:25:22,285
Major, are you all right?
858
01:25:48,019 --> 01:25:50,814
Normal prosthetics are the best, am I right?
859
01:25:51,022 --> 01:25:55,276
I told you to run, you thrill-seeking idiots.
860
01:25:55,485 --> 01:26:00,156
You're the kind of parts
I won't be able to collect again!
861
01:26:01,324 --> 01:26:04,369
We've got an important job still undone.
862
01:26:12,377 --> 01:26:14,796
What good will arresting me do?
863
01:26:15,004 --> 01:26:18,842
The same game will just start up again
after this administration dissolves.
864
01:26:19,050 --> 01:26:21,678
Several retiring Ministers have
already said that to me today,
865
01:26:21,886 --> 01:26:23,638
but I won't let it happen.
866
01:26:23,847 --> 01:26:28,142
We've used money and technology
to fight an unscrupulous system.
867
01:26:28,351 --> 01:26:30,687
It's no different from you with your guns.
868
01:26:30,895 --> 01:26:36,985
We hate crime. You breed
criminals for the sake of profits.
869
01:26:37,193 --> 01:26:40,196
You'll understand one day.
870
01:27:32,415 --> 01:27:34,626
That's where you've been?
871
01:27:48,264 --> 01:27:52,352
You're late. She's just leaving.
872
01:28:21,297 --> 01:28:23,174
Kurutsu!
873
01:28:24,509 --> 01:28:26,427
Kurutsu is dead.
874
01:28:26,636 --> 01:28:32,433
Even controlling the same body, I can't
behave with the same personality again.
875
01:28:32,642 --> 01:28:35,311
It's a mystery even to me.
876
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:37,271
How long have you been doing that?
877
01:28:37,480 --> 01:28:39,315
Since the beginning.
878
01:28:39,524 --> 01:28:42,443
I've been compensating for the
growth failure with micromachines,
879
01:28:42,652 --> 01:28:47,115
and though I can't be prosthetized,
I've operated many prosthetic bodies.
880
01:28:47,323 --> 01:28:50,618
But you're the only one
whose name I couldn't use.
881
01:28:50,827 --> 01:28:55,248
And Fire-Starter? Were you the developer?
882
01:29:06,843 --> 01:29:08,636
One day you'll understand
883
01:29:08,845 --> 01:29:14,851
the diversity of information packages,
and the birth of a new world...
884
01:29:15,059 --> 01:29:19,355
I'm going there... Going where everyone else is.
885
01:29:52,388 --> 01:29:58,644
I pity you, remaining in a world like this
when you were once freer than anyone.
886
01:30:28,299 --> 01:30:30,843
Did you get to say goodbye?
887
01:30:32,261 --> 01:30:35,223
Why did you use her?
888
01:30:35,431 --> 01:30:41,104
Two possibilities existed to avert the dead
end of cyberbrains and prosthetic bodies.
889
01:30:41,312 --> 01:30:46,067
You and she were those possibilities. That's all.
890
01:30:46,275 --> 01:30:48,361
Take him.
891
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:55,952
You should stop searching for the names
of the dead. There's nothing to be gained.
892
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,789
Take it from someone who's spent
a long time as one of the dead.
893
01:31:04,460 --> 01:31:05,253
What is it?
894
01:31:05,461 --> 01:31:06,921
Won't you take us with you?
895
01:31:07,130 --> 01:31:08,923
Where should we go?!
896
01:31:09,132 --> 01:31:11,134
What do you want?
897
01:31:12,301 --> 01:31:16,097
To gain uniform standards
by selling your bodies and Ghosts
898
01:31:16,305 --> 01:31:19,767
and sacrificing those who were given nothing?
899
01:31:19,976 --> 01:31:25,106
You all have cyberbrains.
You have Ghosts you should be obeying.
900
01:31:25,314 --> 01:31:30,153
You seek more than that from other people--
what do you plan to offer in return?
901
01:31:30,361 --> 01:31:32,655
Build a future.
902
01:31:41,664 --> 01:31:46,127
It's just the government's "official position."
it doesn't conflict with our trade.
903
01:31:46,335 --> 01:31:52,633
Excellent. When the slave state fails
to serve, the aristocracy state starves.
904
01:31:52,842 --> 01:31:56,053
The slave trade benefits from labor shortages.
905
01:32:15,198 --> 01:32:17,909
You really gonna do this, Major?
906
01:32:33,216 --> 01:32:35,009
So, here we have the
Far East Trade Representative,
907
01:32:35,218 --> 01:32:38,888
Vice-Minister of Commerce Ito,
and some union officials.
908
01:32:39,096 --> 01:32:40,348
How dare you?
909
01:32:40,556 --> 01:32:43,684
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
the Defense Agency are watching this.
910
01:32:43,893 --> 01:32:46,520
I'll have Vice-Minister Ito here
911
01:32:46,729 --> 01:32:49,523
testify in a court of law about
the Prime Minister's assassination.
912
01:32:49,732 --> 01:32:50,691
I'm ruined...
913
01:32:50,900 --> 01:32:52,026
Impossible.
914
01:32:52,235 --> 01:32:56,197
He applied for asylum and was accepted.
He even signed the written oath.
915
01:32:56,405 --> 01:32:57,198
When?!
916
01:32:57,406 --> 01:32:58,741
I don't have to answer that.
917
01:32:58,950 --> 01:33:02,745
The papers are at the embassy.
I'll forward them to you.
918
01:33:02,954 --> 01:33:06,540
The previous Prime Minister's
wishes survive. You'll be assassinated.
919
01:33:06,749 --> 01:33:10,544
Ha! This is a civilized, pacifist nation.
920
01:33:10,753 --> 01:33:12,588
Oh, is it?
921
01:33:19,428 --> 01:33:21,180
Outside the window!
922
01:33:24,475 --> 01:33:25,768
H-Help!
923
01:33:25,977 --> 01:33:27,687
Hold your fire!
924
01:34:03,014 --> 01:34:16,152
Off in the distance, a ray of light shines down
925
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:24,201
I rub the eyes I'd closed for so long
926
01:34:27,913 --> 01:34:41,010
The naive ones are calling me
927
01:34:41,218 --> 01:34:52,855
I flex and bend my heavy, rusted limbs
928
01:34:56,442 --> 01:35:11,749
I need a reason to walk inch by slow inch
down that never-ending path
929
01:35:11,957 --> 01:35:20,091
I can still move
930
01:35:24,470 --> 01:35:32,395
I can still see
931
01:35:33,562 --> 01:35:36,357
Cherry blossom viewing together is nice, huh?
932
01:35:36,565 --> 01:35:38,359
This is an assignment.
933
01:35:38,359 --> 01:35:49,578
Long ago, the illusions had names
934
01:35:49,787 --> 01:35:58,170
As terribly precious things do
935
01:35:58,170 --> 01:36:00,047
Aye! We saw the report that
the council passed your budget!
936
01:36:00,256 --> 01:36:03,634
Okay. Flower stakeout suspended!
937
01:36:03,634 --> 01:36:14,520
The great ones have left without us
938
01:36:14,728 --> 01:36:26,574
Spread their wings and taken off
for that white shining place
939
01:36:29,952 --> 01:36:45,342
They climb higher and higher
in the endlessly blue sky
940
01:36:45,551 --> 01:36:53,476
But I can see them
941
01:36:58,063 --> 01:37:05,779
We'll meet again
942
01:37:10,534 --> 01:37:18,375
But I can see them
943
01:37:22,963 --> 01:37:30,804
We'll meet again
944
01:37:35,434 --> 01:37:50,824
I have a reason to walk inch by slow inch
down that never-ending path
945
01:37:51,033 --> 01:37:58,832
I can still move
946
01:38:03,504 --> 01:38:11,220
I can still see
947
01:38:15,933 --> 01:38:23,566
I can still move
948
01:38:28,362 --> 01:38:36,328
I can still see
949
01:38:40,833 --> 01:38:48,716
I can still move
950
01:38:53,345 --> 01:39:01,145
I can still see
951
01:39:05,816 --> 01:39:13,949
I can still move
