[00:07] ---
    Coming around, are you?
[00:09] ---
    You're in a certain building
    in School District 2.
[00:13] ---
    "Did you rescue Misaka?"
    asks Misaka, expressing her gratitude.
[00:21] ---
    No, this is all just part of the job.
    I do not need any thanks.
[00:30] ---
    And she's back asleep again.
[00:35] ---
    Well, well, here I thought I had finally
    found some respectable work again...
[00:56] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[02:13] ---
    So you're saying that Kihara Gensei
[02:16] ---
    is after the place on the
    urban legends website?
[02:18] ---
    That's right.
[02:19] ---
    But how did he find out about it?
[02:23] ---
    It wasn't me!
[02:25] ---
    I know that. Chronologically,
    the order of events doesn't fit.
[02:29] ---
    Could the information be a trap,
    and he's leading you on?
[02:33] ---
    Like he doesn't really know
    where it is, and he's tailing us?
[02:37] ---
    It is possible.
[02:40] ---
    But if that's the case,
[02:41] ---
    even if he does find out where it is,
    I can still manage.
[02:44] ---
    In the worst-case scenario...
[02:49] ---
    Hey! Why did you stop?!
[02:52] ---
    A traffic jam?
[02:53] ---
    What is this?!
[02:55] ---
    One of the unmanned buses that goes
    around Academy City burst into flames.
[03:00] ---
    All the buses have been shut down
    while they determine the cause.
[03:04] ---
    And with one of the main means of
    travel during the Daihasei Festival gone,
[03:07] ---
    there are traffic jams all over
    that extend for several kilometers.
[03:12] ---
    We're blocked in from behind, too.
[03:15] ---
    Then there's no other choice.
[03:18] ---
    Exterior, commence voluntary
    will reversal past the 13th pair.
[03:27] ---
    Shokuho...?
[03:43] ---
    The way ahead...!
[03:44] ---
    Drive between them, as fast as you can!
[03:47] ---
    R-Right!
[03:51] ---
    Did Shokuho do this?
[03:54] ---
    Thousands of people,
    extending several kilometers ahead?
[04:00] ---
    I don't care if she is Academy City's
    greatest mental ability esper,
[04:04] ---
    there's no way she could exert
    this much nightmarish power.
[04:08] ---
    How exactly did she do this?
[04:12] ---
    Whatever else happens,
[04:14] ---
    I have to keep it from falling
    into their hands while I'm away.
[04:23] ---
    Makuwa, what's that you're eating?
[04:26] ---
    Hmm? Melon slices, as you can see.
[04:30] ---
    What food do you hate?
[04:32] ---
    Apples.
[04:33] ---
    Hmm. Shokuho?
[04:46] ---
    It looks like your abilities
    are coming along nicely.
[04:49] ---
    Once Exterior is complete...
[04:52] ---
    I don't think you really need that thing.
[04:56] ---
    Oh, don't say that. This project
    will not only benefit us greatly,
[05:00] ---
    but you, as well.
[05:03] ---
    So, can I leave now?
[05:06] ---
    No, before you go,
    there's someone I'd like you to meet.
[05:13] ---
    Well, how are you feeling today?
[05:16] ---
    Allow me to introduce you.
[05:18] ---
    This is the Prototype,
    but we just call her "Dolly."
[05:22] ---
    Prototype?
[05:26] ---
    Come on, now, say hello.
[05:30] ---
    N-No!
[05:32] ---
    Oh, pipe down.
    Just because I saw your tiny boobs...
[05:39] ---
    Don't look at me.
[05:42] ---
    Oh, well, I guess I don't need
    to go to the trouble of explaining now.
[05:47] ---
    She was born with a kind of illness, you see.
[05:51] ---
    Without those devices implanted
    inside her body, she couldn't live.
[06:01] ---
    I'm sorry.
[06:03] ---
    Pretty... gross, wasn't it?
[06:06] ---
    No, I wouldn't say that.
[06:08] ---
    Mm-mm, I can't help it.
[06:12] ---
    I used to have a friend.
[06:18] ---
    Mi...
[06:20] ---
    She used to come here every day
    since I couldn't go out.
[06:24] ---
    We talked about all sorts of things
    and played together a lot.
[06:30] ---
    But...
[06:32] ---
    ...then she got a look at my body.
[06:36] ---
    Starting the next day, she stopped coming.
[06:40] ---
    Why is my body like this?
[06:44] ---
    It disgusted my one
    and only friend. I miss her...
[06:51] ---
    "Clone Dolly Research Lab 2"
[06:52] ---
    So...
[06:53] ---
    what was your goal in putting
    the two of us together, anyway?
[06:58] ---
    We're collecting some
    data from Dolly, you see.
[07:02] ---
    The shock of losing her friend is so great
[07:04] ---
    that we can't read any
    normal values from her right now.
[07:08] ---
    We want you to help her
    to restore her inner peace.
[07:12] ---
    I don't know what you expect me to do.
    With my ability the way it is now,
[07:16] ---
    I can't completely erase
    the memories of her friend,
[07:19] ---
    and even overwriting them is difficult.
[07:23] ---
    Yes. But what about her sense of recognition?
[07:31] ---
    Pardon me.
[07:33] ---
    You came back today,
[07:35] ---
    Mi!
[07:42] ---
    Why am I the one who has to do this?
[07:57] ---
    Aw, what are you doing--
[08:04] ---
    A-Are you sure you're in middle school?
[08:08] ---
    --Mmm... yes, I am.
    --Here.
[08:12] ---
    That's what the teacher says.
[08:14] ---
    Though I've never actually gone to a school.
[08:18] ---
    Mi, do you enjoy school?
[08:20] ---
    Huh, that's a good question.
[08:23] ---
    My ability makes it easy
    for me to get ostracized.
[08:26] ---
    Ostracized?
[08:27] ---
    You know, to get on people's
    bad side, I guess.
[08:31] ---
    Huh?
[08:32] ---
    But, Mi, I love your ability.
[08:36] ---
    Here.
[08:38] ---
    I can't. They told me
    to refrain from using my ability.
[08:43] ---
    Aww...
[08:47] ---
    What is it like outside the research lab?
[08:52] ---
    I'd like to see what they call the ocean.
[08:55] ---
    Unfortunately, Academy
    City isn't on the ocean.
[08:59] ---
    And the checks are so stringent,
    it's not easy to get out of the city.
[09:05] ---
    But then, if we could get an exit pass,
    I'd be happy to take you to the beach.
[09:12] ---
    Thank you, Mi!
[09:14] ---
    E-Easy!
[09:17] ---
    Huh? Wh-What gives?
[09:23] ---
    Nothing.
[09:26] ---
    What's going on?
[09:28] ---
    Good progress.
[09:30] ---
    Yeah. Let's watch how this progresses.
[09:39] ---
    I'm out!
[09:41] ---
    Yay! I win again!
[09:51] ---
    I did it!
[09:53] ---
    Hey, that's bad manners.
[09:55] ---
    Mi, you always have to go up
    next to it to throw things away.
[09:59] ---
    O-Of course I do! Just so you know,
[10:02] ---
    when girls get to be my age,
    literally throwing garbage away
[10:05] ---
    is the greatest breach
    of manners I can think of!
[10:08] ---
    It might be fine right now,
    but once you leave the research facility,
[10:10] ---
    the boys will be sizing up
    your every move, you know.
[10:14] ---
    You need to adopt a more refined attitude--
[10:16] ---
    You can't make it go in?
[10:20] ---
    Huh?! Huh?! I could easily do it!
[10:24] ---
    Really?
[10:26] ---
    Okay, fine. Just watch this.
[10:37] ---
    Th-That one was...
[10:39] ---
    M-My finger just got a little caught on it!
[10:43] ---
    I-I neglected air resistance!
[10:47] ---
    Ah! I had something in my eye!
[10:50] ---
    I-I'll sink it this time for sure.
[10:53] ---
    She keeps getting closer.
[10:56] ---
    Aw, man!
[10:58] ---
    Hang in there!
[11:00] ---
    Focus! Focus!
[11:05] ---
    I-It went in! You see that, Dolly?
    When I really mean it...
[11:16] ---
    H-Hey!
[11:18] ---
    Somebody!
[11:23] ---
    Status?
[11:24] ---
    They will come and collect her shortly.
[11:26] ---
    Uh-oh. I knew it wouldn't
    be much longer, but...
[11:31] ---
    You have to shake it off.
[11:34] ---
    I mean, this is...
[11:38] ---
    What?
[11:41] ---
    Tell me... your name...
[11:55] ---
    Misaki... Shokuho Misaki...
[12:00] ---
    Misaki... thank you for being... my friend...
[12:15] ---
    Sh-She's going to be okay, right?
    She'll recover and be right back, won't she?
[12:21] ---
    No, this is goodbye for Dolly.
[12:25] ---
    Her body gave out a long time ago.
[12:29] ---
    Even with Academy City's
    scientific capabilities,
[12:32] ---
    it would be impossible
    to extend her life any longer.
[12:37] ---
    I'm sure Dolly herself...
[12:39] ---
    "#10 Clone Dolly"
[12:39] ---
    ...was well aware of that.
[12:47] ---
    Oh, are you in here again?
[12:50] ---
    You can't do this;
    you're falling behind in your curriculum.
[12:53] ---
    Oh, right, I got the report,
    so I'll tell you, too.
[12:58] ---
    Word is that she died.
[13:03] ---
    Good grief,
[13:05] ---
    now it's Shokuho who's having problems?
[13:08] ---
    Even that little girl has feelings.
[13:11] ---
    What if you reveal to her
    that Dolly was just a clone?
[13:15] ---
    If she knows she was artificially made,
    she might take it better.
[13:19] ---
    Hmm, well, if the present
    situation continues, I'll consider it.
[13:24] ---
    This Exterior project is not
    some project forced on us from above,
[13:28] ---
    whose objective isn't even clear,
    which has us playing with dolls.
[13:31] ---
    It's the fulfillment of
    our Clone Dolly aspirations.
[13:35] ---
    But what do we do?
[13:37] ---
    If Shokuho Misaki keeps developing like this,
[13:40] ---
    one day, our mental guards won't
    be able to keep her out anymore.
[13:43] ---
    Once that happens,
[13:44] ---
    it will be much harder to keep
    the project's true purpose a secret.
[13:48] ---
    Hmph, that's not such a big problem.
[13:51] ---
    Oh, no? Why not?
[13:54] ---
    Once Exterior is complete,
    we'll have no more use for the girl.
[13:59] ---
    We'll just wait for the right
    opportunity to dispose of her.
[14:01] ---
    All right, this concludes
    our regular meeting.
[14:05] ---
    Good work, everyone.
[14:11] ---
    Well, that's about what I figured.
[14:15] ---
    After that,
[14:16] ---
    I extended my control beneath the surface.
[14:20] ---
    All of the personnel involved
    in Exterior were brainwashed,
[14:23] ---
    such that no matter what kind
    of interrogation they underwent,
[14:26] ---
    they would never reveal that information.
[14:29] ---
    So how did Gensei find the location?
[14:32] ---
    Objective passing target point.
[14:35] ---
    Copy.
[14:36] ---
    All units, fall back!
[14:43] ---
    Whew...
[14:44] ---
    I managed to get it to count.
[14:47] ---
    All thanks to this thing.
[14:49] ---
    Let's see, Miss Saten, wasn't it?
    I thought we were going to meet here.
[14:56] ---
    Aw, man...
[14:57] ---
    "No signal"
[14:58] ---
    No signal?
[15:00] ---
    It's no use. There are powerful
    radio jammers being used around here.
[15:06] ---
    Also,
[15:07] ---
    it looks as though it wasn't a bluff.
[15:13] ---
    Strange, huh? It's too quiet.
[15:15] ---
    I don't sense any unmanned weapons, either.
[15:18] ---
    Maybe they were staying alert
    for Miss Misaka and beat a hasty retreat.
[15:25] ---
    Tell me, where is the crew
    that was working here?
[15:28] ---
    Beats me. They're needed to
    maintain Exterior, so maybe they got killed.
[15:33] ---
    Exterior?
[15:34] ---
    You saw it earlier, remember?
[15:36] ---
    Earlier?
[15:39] ---
    Exterior is a booster that
    amplifies and extends my ability,
[15:43] ---
    I guess is the way I'd describe it.
[15:46] ---
    Ostensibly, anyhow.
[15:48] ---
    Ostensibly?
[15:50] ---
    The original purpose of the Exterior Project
[15:53] ---
    was to allow anyone
    to be able to use my ability.
[15:56] ---
    Hmm... Huh?!
[16:01] ---
    Whether the registered person
    was an esper or a regular person,
[16:06] ---
    they would gain the power to use Mental Out.
    That's the kind of toy it is.
[16:13] ---
    This place, Clone Dolly,
    was originally a research institution
[16:17] ---
    whose goal was to produce geniuses
    and super-power-leveled people.
[16:21] ---
    But they were blinded by
    my powers of ingenuity,
[16:23] ---
    and when the researchers
    took the shortcut of saying,
[16:26] ---
    "It's quicker to brainwash great
    figures than it is to create them,"
[16:29] ---
    what they developed was "Exterior."
[16:32] ---
    Though, I took the project
    over once I shut them down.
[16:36] ---
    Mental Out is a power that I,
    as a person of virtuous character, can control.
[16:41] ---
    If any common lowbrows got it,
    they might wield it carelessly,
[16:44] ---
    and that would be dangerous.
[16:45] ---
    Amplifying your ability
    by itself sounds pretty farfetched,
[16:49] ---
    but to transfer it to someone else?
[16:51] ---
    Is this the "DNA computer
    that can produce abilities"
[16:53] ---
    that was on that urban legends website?
[16:56] ---
    Where would a rumor like that
[16:58] ---
    ever get started, anyway? For one thing,
[17:02] ---
    it isn't exactly a "computer."
[17:06] ---
    I didn't want anyone else to know about this,
    and now I'm letting you see it.
[17:12] ---
    They cut out a piece of my cerebral cortex,
[17:15] ---
    cultivated it, and created
    a gargantuan brain.
[17:18] ---
    That's what Exterior is.
[17:22] ---
    You mean Kihara Gensei is
    plotting to do something with this?
[17:26] ---
    Probably. But I didn't think
    he could take it with him,
[17:31] ---
    and it takes several days to "register"
    someone to be able to use it.
[17:36] ---
    Yeah, even in his control,
    it's meaningless in the short term.
[17:41] ---
    So is the Sister who he was really after?
[17:43] ---
    But I used my ability to place
    many levels of protection around her.
[17:48] ---
    To get through them all,
    he would need Exterior.
[17:52] ---
    He won't ever find
    the critical seam in my defenses.
[17:56] ---
    The room where we were
    treating your sister is in here.
[18:00] ---
    Follow me.
[18:02] ---
    A signal...?
[18:04] ---
    Hello?!
[18:05] ---
    At last, I made it through.
[18:07] ---
    I'm currently right in front of Exterior.
    Where are you?
[18:10] ---
    On the roof. She's here with me, too.
[18:13] ---
    Excellent work! The roof? I'll be right--
[18:17] ---
    No!
[18:18] ---
    The ones who attacked us
    were a squad of skilled special forces.
[18:23] ---
    I very much doubt they let me,
    carrying someone else, just get away.
[18:26] ---
    It's safe to assume they're trying
    to lead you up here. Please be careful.
[18:31] ---
    It's all right. I have an Amazon here
[18:33] ---
    whose bust size got swallowed up
    by her fighting ability,
[18:37] ---
    so there's no need to worry.
[18:39] ---
    Why, whoever do you mean?
[18:46] ---
    Shokuho!
[18:47] ---
    I see. If she's with you--
[18:50] ---
    This isn't what I planned,
[18:52] ---
    but it does save me some trouble.
[18:57] ---
    Can't move...
[18:59] ---
    What is this...?
[19:01] ---
    Whoa...
[19:02] ---
    Hey there.
[19:03] ---
    "Keitz Nokleben"
[19:03] ---
    It can't be!
[19:04] ---
    Complicating the registration process
    to prevent it from being taken over?
[19:08] ---
    Wishful thinking.
[19:10] ---
    Even without registering, if I tune
    the giant brain to my own brainwaves,
[19:16] ---
    the ability will be mine.
[19:19] ---
    I'm sure you've at least heard
    the stories, haven't you?
[19:23] ---
    Level Upper...
[19:26] ---
    I'm the one who gave Kiyama
    her instructions on how to tune brainwaves.
[19:41] ---
    The multiple layers of protection
    you placed on the Sister
[19:44] ---
    are now a simple matter for me to undo.
[19:48] ---
    "No way!
[19:50] ---
    This is impossible!" says Misaka Misaka...
[19:53] ---
    Huh? What's wrong?
[19:55] ---
    "All of the protection placed
    on 10032 has been removed,"
[19:59] ---
    says Misaka Misaka...
[20:01] ---
    Also, I am able to inject a
    custom virus into the Misaka Network.
[20:12] ---
    Removing the force on a body will...
[20:25] ---
    Is this...
[20:26] ---
    ...the Misaka Network? No...
[20:32] ---
    What is this I'm sensing?
[20:35] ---
    Go on, get going already.
[20:37] ---
    For what reason is that
    gooey girl doing all this stuff?
[20:42] ---
    I don't know exactly.
[20:44] ---
    We just got led around
    following fake orders, after all.
[20:48] ---
    But there was one puzzling thing
    about this assignment,
[20:51] ---
    and I asked what their intention was.
[20:55] ---
    The answer was a bunch of doublespeak,
[20:57] ---
    --but given their attitude at the time,
    I can pretty well guess.
[20:57] ---
    --Whoa...
    --but given their attitude at the time,
    I can pretty well guess.
[21:01] ---
    Magnificent, isn't it?
[21:04] ---
    But all of this enormous power
[21:06] ---
    is nothing more than a light show
    without a use for it.
[21:10] ---
    What would be the most
    interesting use for it?
[21:25] ---
    Wh-What have you...
[21:28] ---
    ...done to her?!
[21:31] ---
    Aleister's favorite, kept tucked away
    in the shadow of the main plan...
[21:36] ---
    What if I were to use it as a trigger
    to awaken your dormant powers?
[21:43] ---
    Their true objective...
[21:45] ---
    ...is Misaka Mikoto.
[22:09] ---
    Now, let the experiment begin.
[22:17] ---
    Let's see if Misaka can reach...
[22:22] ---
    ...the divine will of Level 6?
[23:25] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    And just like that, Miss Misaka was beaten.
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#11 Joining the Battle"
[23:29] ---
    Starting next week at this time,
    A Certain Scientific Mental Out,
[23:32] ---
