[00:10] ---
    You can hear me, right?
[00:12] ---
    I avoided the communications system
    when I smashed this thing.
[00:15] ---
    From here on, if I ever see one of these
[00:18] ---
    or one goes near one of my friends,
[00:21] ---
    even for an instant,
[00:24] ---
    then no matter where you are,
    I swear I will find you...
[00:30] ---
    ...and crush you.
[00:46] ---
    He ran away.
[00:48] ---
    Well, any memories linked to Shokuho
    are either erased or overwritten,
[00:53] ---
    so it wouldn't matter.
[00:58] ---
    There isn't much information
    to speak of in the truck, either.
[01:01] ---
    They are careful, anyway.
[01:04] ---
    I could tell as soon
    as they sent that robot out,
[01:07] ---
    but this isn't the work of amateurs.
[01:11] ---
    A vehicle this big would have
    no choice but to take the main roads.
[01:15] ---
    There are only so many
    routes it could have taken.
[01:17] ---
    If I trace back where it came
    from using the security cameras,
[01:21] ---
    I should be able to find
    where they're holding her.
[01:40] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[02:57] ---
    Have you still not picked
    up Miss Misaka's trail?
[02:59] ---
    No.
[03:00] ---
    I guess that's that. Well, let's go
    in teams of three again and search--
[03:05] ---
    Sorry, but we have a
    competition that's about to start.
[03:08] ---
    And we can't really have
    this many of us skip out.
[03:11] ---
    Aw, man!
[03:13] ---
    Well, those of us who are
    left will start looking!
[03:16] ---
    If only our Queen were here right now.
    Has anyone been in contact with her?
[03:21] ---
    Not since last night.
[03:22] ---
    --Um, who's the "Queen"?
    --Where could she be?
[03:24] ---
    They mean Miss Shokuho
    Misaki, from our school.
[03:28] ---
    The girls in her clique
    refer to her as their Queen.
[03:32] ---
    Oh, yeah? Queen, huh?
[03:35] ---
    Wasn't Shokuho Misaki someone
    who could manipulate memories?
[03:39] ---
    Those blue-blood girls really are unusual.
[03:44] ---
    Thank you very much.
[03:48] ---
    Miss Wannai, what is Miss Kongo's condition?
[03:50] ---
    According to what the doctor said,
[03:52] ---
    luckily, none of her trauma
    should leave any permanent scars.
[03:56] ---
    As for the nanodevice, they are sending it
    to an agency that specializes in them.
[04:00] ---
    So it's safe for us to breathe easy, then?
[04:03] ---
    I believe so. There is one
    other thing we can do...
[04:11] ---
    I hate to keep troubling you about this.
[04:13] ---
    Not at all.
[04:14] ---
    So then, um,
[04:16] ---
    are you able to speak to cats?
[04:19] ---
    No. My ability is psychometry.
[04:22] ---
    That's a completely
    different class than telepathy,
[04:25] ---
    so it's not as though
    I can communicate with them.
[04:28] ---
    All I can do is read the
    fragments of an animal's qualia--
[04:31] ---
    meaning their sensory experiences,
    but it does have the benefit
[04:34] ---
    of being able to pick up on information
    that the cat itself may not be able to understand.
[04:39] ---
    Oh...
[04:43] ---
    You said yesterday around noon, right?
[04:45] ---
    Yes, that is what we heard.
[04:47] ---
    All right...
[04:54] ---
    It was... at a construction
    site or a stockyard.
[04:55] ---
    "Development Permit Notice"
[04:58] ---
    There was a tall man there.
    Oh, and someone else--a girl, it looks like.
[05:05] ---
    They started talking.
[05:07] ---
    "One way or another, we have the initiative."
[05:11] ---
    "We don't have time to bother with that now."
[05:14] ---
    "What's happening with
    Auribus oculi fideliores sunt?"
[05:18] ---
    That's Latin. "The eyes are
    more trustworthy than the ears."
[05:23] ---
    Could that be some kind of cipher?
[05:25] ---
    Um...
[05:26] ---
    Hmm, I think anything beyond
    that might be difficult.
[05:30] ---
    The kitty seems to have
    been pretty shaken up.
[05:33] ---
    Oh, no, thank you very much.
    While it might not mean anything to us,
[05:38] ---
    it could prove to be useful
    information to Miss Misaka.
[05:41] ---
    Miss Saten, do you have your cell phone?
[05:44] ---
    Oh, yes, right here.
[05:47] ---
    The situation being what it is,
[05:49] ---
    I think it's best if we
    contact Miss Misaka right away.
[05:53] ---
    Could we ask you to call her for us?
[05:56] ---
    You bet.
[05:58] ---
    All right, thanks for your assistance.
[06:01] ---
    We will be in Miss Kongo's
    hospital room if anything comes up.
[06:05] ---
    Roger that! Now then...
[06:10] ---
    Wait, I don't know Misaka's phone...
[06:13] ---
    ...num... ber...?
[06:13] ---
    "Misaka Mikoto"
[06:16] ---
    I have her saved?
[06:23] ---
    It's taking too much time checking
    the cameras at all key intersections.
[06:27] ---
    They could make a run for it
    before I even find them.
[06:33] ---
    "Tokiwadai Middle School
    takes 1st in Balloon Sandwich"
[06:34] ---
    It looks like Mikoto is
    doing pretty well. Nice, nice.
[06:38] ---
    There, there, everything will be okay.
[06:40] ---
    --You don't need to worry.
    I'll stay with you.
[06:42] ---
    --I know that head.
    --You don't need to worry. I'll stay with you.
[06:43] ---
    Uiharu!
[06:46] ---
    Ms. Misuzu!
[06:48] ---
    Who is that?
[06:50] ---
    A lost boy.
[06:51] ---
    Huh? In this crowd? That's a big deal.
    Do you want some help?
[06:55] ---
    Oh, no, I've already asked
    his father to come to us.
[06:59] ---
    You have?
[07:00] ---
    Yes. Everyone's entrance pass is
    equipped with GPS, including your own,
[07:05] ---
    so our headquarters can
    look up the location of any visitor.
[07:10] ---
    It's Papa! Papa!
[07:14] ---
    Please be careful, okay?
[07:15] ---
    "Entrance pass"
    "Misaka Misuzu"
[07:16] ---
    You don't say.
[07:18] ---
    I was wondering how you were able
    to manage this many spectators.
[07:22] ---
    You have everything under control, don't you?
[07:24] ---
    Yes, but, if you hack into that system,
[07:28] ---
    it makes it easy to locate
    specific visitors...
[07:32] ---
    Misaka Mikoto's mother.
[07:35] ---
    I thought one hostage would be enough,
[07:39] ---
    but this is the third-ranked
    Level 5 I'm dealing with.
[07:42] ---
    I think having one
    other would be more reassuring.
[07:46] ---
    So what is this urgent matter
    you wanted to talk to me about?
[07:49] ---
    Well, um...
[07:51] ---
    I have many things to do.
    Please make this quick.
[07:56] ---
    Mm-hmm...
[08:00] ---
    The thing is...
[08:02] ---
    So what is her condition?
[08:04] ---
    Her life isn't in any danger,
[08:06] ---
    and Wannai and Awatsuki are watching her,
    so I think she'll be okay.
[08:09] ---
    I see. All of that happened
    to Kongo Mitsuko...
[08:14] ---
    Mm-hmm. Misaka seemed awfully angry about it.
[08:17] ---
    I think maybe she feels responsible.
[08:20] ---
    Once again with Misaka Mikoto.
[08:22] ---
    I think I have a handle on the situation.
[08:24] ---
    But the part about Misaka Mikoto
    possibly being one of our friends
[08:29] ---
    is a bit of a leap, is it not?
[08:32] ---
    "Misaka Mikoto"
[08:32] ---
    Yeah, I'm just saying, "possibly."
[08:35] ---
    There's an esper at Tokiwadai
    who can manipulate memories, right?
[08:39] ---
    You think that Shokuho Misaki
    tampered with our memories?
[08:42] ---
    For what reason?
[08:44] ---
    Moreover, if you believe that,
    why did you not contact Uiharu?
[08:50] ---
    Because if my guess is correct,
[08:53] ---
    telling Uiharu about it might not be...
[08:56] ---
    I-In any case,
[08:57] ---
    I have a message for Misaka,
    so why don't we ask her directly?
[09:01] ---
    Well, I suppose you leave me no choice.
    As a member of Judgment,
[09:05] ---
    this does not appear to be
    a situation I can ignore.
[09:09] ---
    Who would be calling me now?
[09:11] ---
    Miss Saten?
[09:13] ---
    H-Hello?
[09:14] ---
    Oh, um,
[09:15] ---
    is this Miss Misaka? My name is Saten Ruiko.
[09:19] ---
    Oh, mm-hmm. Thanks for
    everything at the hospital.
[09:22] ---
    I appreciate you telling me what happened.
[09:24] ---
    --Oh, well, um, I heard from Wannai...
    --Why is she so nervous?
[09:28] ---
    ...that you're looking
    for your sister, right?
[09:30] ---
    Anyhow, we had someone who can
    do psychometry check out her cat.
[09:35] ---
    I see.
[09:37] ---
    Still, I'm sorry. I appreciate
    you investigating,
[09:40] ---
    but I have no idea what
    this girl who could be Shokuho
[09:43] ---
    and the man who was with
    her were talking about.
[09:45] ---
    Yeah, well, about that, they did mention
    a name I'm quite familiar with.
[09:51] ---
    Huh? Really?
[09:52] ---
    I'd like to find out more about
    our relationship with you, too.
[09:56] ---
    Is there someplace where we could meet up?
[09:58] ---
    Mm-hmm, all right.
[10:00] ---
    Where are you right now?
[10:02] ---
    The plaza in front of the terminal station
    building in School District 15,
[10:05] ---
    on the upper level.
[10:07] ---
    Oh, we're pretty close to there.
[10:09] ---
    Okay, you wait there, and I'll have
    Shirai pick you up and bring you here.
[10:13] ---
    Hey, I am not a taxi!
[10:17] ---
    Kuroko is there with you?!
[10:19] ---
    I-I told you, please do not
    use my name so casually!
[10:22] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[10:24] ---
    There is a little something
    I was hoping you might tell me.
[10:30] ---
    I'm a little busy right now.
[10:32] ---
    I don't have time to be
    chatting with strangers.
[10:36] ---
    However, if you have something to do
    with the people who hurt my friend,
[10:41] ---
    then that's another matter.
[10:42] ---
    Whoa, just like that,
    you're in combat mode. But then,
[10:47] ---
    what do you say to this?
[10:50] ---
    "#7 Auribus oculi fideliores sunt.
    (The eyes are more trustworthy than the ears)"
[10:50] ---
    Miss Uiharu?!
[10:54] ---
    Now, now, let's start with having you
    hang up the phone you're holding
[10:58] ---
    and getting rid of it.
[11:05] ---
    Good, good.
[11:06] ---
    I don't need to introduce myself, do I?
[11:09] ---
    I mean, you attacked so many of
    our villas and made off with our data.
[11:14] ---
    Villas? Attacked?
[11:16] ---
    What are you talking about?
[11:17] ---
    Non, non, you can't play dumb.
    You've been sniffing around,
[11:22] ---
    so you know what I'm about to ask, don't you?
[11:26] ---
    The clones of you that
    are known as "Sisters"--
[11:29] ---
    where exactly are they hiding?
    I've done a thorough investigation
[11:33] ---
    into how you interfered
    with Project Level 6 Shift.
[11:37] ---
    It's not like you wouldn't know
    what happened to your "Sisters"
[11:40] ---
    once the project went belly up.
[11:42] ---
    Where are the clones who are
    still in Academy City being kept?
[11:47] ---
    What's going on here?
[11:48] ---
    Is she not working together with Shokuho?
[11:51] ---
    We're scouring dark side
    intelligence networks in high gear,
[11:54] ---
    but whenever we search for "Sisters,"
    our leads always come up empty.
[11:59] ---
    Which organization has
    the souped-up security to keep them?
[12:03] ---
    I don't know who you people are,
[12:06] ---
    but what is it you want to do
    so badly that you'd assault my friends?
[12:09] ---
    Oh, dear, after everything else,
    you can ask something like that?
[12:12] ---
    If you ask me, you're the one who's messed up
[12:16] ---
    if you can just blithely
    live here in the city like this.
[12:20] ---
    I mean, you know, after
    everything you've seen.
[12:23] ---
    The inhuman atrocities that
    were carried out to achieve Level 6;
[12:27] ---
    the human experimentation
    that went on using Child Errors;
[12:31] ---
    using negotiators to swindle
    people out of their DNA maps--
[12:34] ---
    It's not like activities such as these
    were carried on by only one organization.
[12:41] ---
    If you trace them backward,
    they all lead back to Academy City's higher-ups.
[12:46] ---
    You are aware that this whole city
    is one big proving ground.
[12:51] ---
    No, you aren't like the other
    students who know nothing about this.
[12:55] ---
    And yet you turn a blind eye to the truth
    and live your non-committal life here.
[13:00] ---
    I'm impressed that you
    could be so nonchalant.
[13:05] ---
    You know, I...
[13:10] ---
    Never mind.
[13:12] ---
    That has nothing to do with this.
[13:15] ---
    It's unrelated to the fact that
    you brought harm upon my friends.
[13:20] ---
    I have nothing to tell you.
[13:23] ---
    Now let Miss Uiharu go.
[13:26] ---
    My shocks will go through
    you much faster than that knife.
[13:30] ---
    "Miss Uiharu," huh?
[13:32] ---
    So you do know her!
    She was pretty chummy with your mother,
[13:38] ---
    so I suspected as much.
[13:40] ---
    My mother...?
[13:46] ---
    Is that...? Mama!
[13:48] ---
    A second hostage!
[13:49] ---
    Not even you can take out
    two people at once, can you?
[13:53] ---
    The lives of these two far outweigh
    the location of the clones, right?
[13:58] ---
    So I'll ask you again, where are the Sisters?
[14:03] ---
    And I'll say this one more time, too.
    I have nothing to tell you.
[14:08] ---
    Oh, my, you don't think I'm bluffing, do you?
[14:11] ---
    Or are you willing to abandon both of them?
[14:15] ---
    I...
[14:17] ---
    ...am going to save Miss Uiharu.
[14:20] ---
    Even if it costs me my life.
[14:22] ---
    I swear it.
[14:24] ---
    Does that mean you don't
    need your mother? How mean--
[14:31] ---
    Oh, seriously?
[14:33] ---
    Oh, dear, negotiations have broken down.
    Sorry about this, Mom.
[14:38] ---
    I hate to have to end this
    with her taking me so lightly,
[14:41] ---
    so if you must blame someone,
    blame Mikoto for letting you die--
[14:46] ---
    She had a friend lurking nearby?!
[14:51] ---
    Her breathing, pulse,
    and body temperature are normal.
[14:53] ---
    From what I can see, she is not injured.
[14:56] ---
    She ran away.
[14:58] ---
    I would like to go after her,
    but the safety of the hostage comes first.
[15:02] ---
    Besides, I can ask her what happened.
[15:07] ---
    Miss Uiharu is all right.
    She doesn't appear to be hurt.
[15:12] ---
    Please back away!
[15:13] ---
    Huh? Hold on...
[15:17] ---
    Judgment!
[15:19] ---
    You are under arrest
    for kidnapping and assault--
[15:22] ---
    Kuroko! Get away from her!
[15:31] ---
    That girl... isn't human?!
[15:39] ---
    My bolts have no effect.
[15:40] ---
    Kuroko, teleport these two someplace safe.
[15:50] ---
    My shocks didn't work, either.
[15:52] ---
    Can I blow her away with my railgun?
[16:07] ---
    Huh?
[16:09] ---
    She melted?
[16:14] ---
    Is that...
[16:16] ---
    some kind of liquid metal?
[16:18] ---
    It looked like she was controlling
    it remotely like a puppet.
[16:23] ---
    So why did she suddenly stop?
[16:26] ---
    I don't know.
[16:27] ---
    If this is that girl's ability,
    then maybe she fled out of range.
[16:37] ---
    Well, having Mikoto die
    wouldn't work for us anyhow.
[16:42] ---
    I have to admit,
[16:44] ---
    negotiating with her head-on is difficult.
[16:47] ---
    Can't help it, though. She can do lots
    of stuff on the other end of the camera.
[16:52] ---
    Still, I should be glad
    I got anything at all out of this.
[16:56] ---
    Villas? Attacked?
[16:59] ---
    What are you talking about?
[17:01] ---
    I brushed it off back there,
    but she would gain nothing by denying it.
[17:06] ---
    Eyewitness reports had me
    convinced that it was Mikoto,
[17:09] ---
    but maybe it's possible that
    the testimony was false. Meaning...
[17:14] ---
    it's also possible that the
    witnesses' memories were altered.
[17:19] ---
    Maybe I'd better reconsider this. Besides...
[17:24] ---
    You know, I...
[17:26] ---
    ...there may still be some hope for her.
[17:30] ---
    So, would you mind explaining
    to me what happened here?
[17:35] ---
    Sorry, but I don't know
    who that was, either--
[17:39] ---
    I am bothered by that, as well,
[17:41] ---
    but first, tell me about what just happened.
[17:43] ---
    You were acting as though
    you were sure I would be there.
[17:47] ---
    When you said that you were going
    to save Uiharu and not your mother.
[17:53] ---
    That was a declaration to me, was it not?
[17:57] ---
    Well, um, after I hung up on our call,
[18:01] ---
    I could sense the EM signal of
    an incoming call to Miss Uiharu's cell,
[18:05] ---
    and figured that Miss Saten was calling
    her to check on what was happening.
[18:09] ---
    I had already told you where I was,
[18:12] ---
    and knowing you, you could
    be here in less than ten seconds,
[18:15] ---
    so I assumed you were
    hiding somewhere nearby...
[18:20] ---
    Thank you...
[18:21] ---
    ...for letting me take care
    of rescuing your friend.
[18:26] ---
    Uiharu is with Judgment.
    It is only natural to give priority
[18:29] ---
    to a civilian over a colleague.
[18:32] ---
    How could you leave your
    own mother's life up to a stranger?
[18:39] ---
    If I had put Mama ahead of a friend,
    that would have made her angry at me.
[18:44] ---
    Besides...
[18:46] ---
    ...I had faith in you, Kuroko,
    and was sure that you would save her.
[18:54] ---
    W-Well, that is my job,
    after all, so naturally--
[18:59] ---
    Are you okay?!
[19:02] ---
    I'm sorry. I must have overexerted
    you when you're still injured.
[19:06] ---
    Huh? I-I am all right!
    I do not require your unwelcome concern!
[19:12] ---
    What are you talking about?
[19:14] ---
    Come on, hold on to me tight.
[19:18] ---
    L-Let go of me, please!
[19:21] ---
    My tastes do not run that way!
[19:28] ---
    It sounds like neither of them were hurt.
[19:30] ---
    They said they should
    both wake up in no time.
[19:33] ---
    Thank goodness.
[19:34] ---
    So? You said you needed to speak with us?
[19:37] ---
    Oh, mm-hmm.
[19:41] ---
    Um, the person who kidnapped your
    sister--the girl in that kitten's memory...
[19:48] ---
    You're sure it's Shokuho Misaki, then?
[19:51] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[19:52] ---
    I don't think there can be any question.
[19:55] ---
    So anyway,
[19:56] ---
    that Auribus-whatever-it-was Latin
    that we heard from the psychometry
[20:01] ---
    is the same name as the
    urban legend site that I browsed.
[20:05] ---
    Urban legend site?
[20:07] ---
    Why would Shokuho Misaki be
    concerned with something like that?
[20:11] ---
    The site doesn't just
    collect different rumors;
[20:15] ---
    its lure is that it actually goes
    around validating their details.
[20:18] ---
    And yesterday, when I was off
    trying to find Shadow Metal,
[20:22] ---
    Uiharu was searching that site for me,
[20:25] ---
    but said she couldn't find it.
[20:29] ---
    So a little earlier, I tried
    searching for it again,
[20:33] ---
    and sure enough, the results
    are plastered with similar pages,
[20:36] ---
    but I can't find the
    original site in there anywhere.
[20:40] ---
    It's impossible to completely erase
    any data once it's uploaded on the net.
[20:44] ---
    So I was thinking that
    somebody must have distributed
[20:47] ---
    a bunch of dummy data
    with much higher search rankings
[20:51] ---
    to keep people from actually
    reaching the site.
[20:54] ---
    Or put another way,
[20:56] ---
    there was something on that site
    that this somebody considers problematic.
[21:00] ---
    Right.
[21:01] ---
    Knowing Uiharu, she would
    sense something out of place
[21:04] ---
    and try to hunt down the cause of it.
[21:07] ---
    She also has the skill to find it.
[21:10] ---
    But this somebody detected
    Miss Uiharu's actions on this end
[21:14] ---
    and attacked her.
[21:16] ---
    Assuming it was Shokuho,
    she would have had Uiharu erase the data,
[21:20] ---
    and then, after searching her memories,
[21:22] ---
    she would also learn that she is my friend.
[21:26] ---
    It all fits together.
[21:28] ---
    This sounds like a crazy conclusion
    to draw from connecting the dots,
[21:32] ---
    but if it is true, then that computer...
[21:37] ---
    ...is worth checking out, isn't it?
[21:45] ---
    The erased data has been reconstructed!
[21:48] ---
    There it is!
[21:49] ---
    "A secret technique lying behind fortified lines?!
    Track down the cutting-edge
    DNA computer that generates abilities!"
[21:52] ---
    Shokuho...!

[23:34] ---
    Why is my heart churning so much inside me?!
[23:38] ---
    Maybe because you're a degenerate?
