Special Public Security Fifth Division,

Third Mobile Assault Unit 8.
[00:10] Gi
AKA Unit 8.
[00:12] Gi
As you all know,
[00:14] Gi
they are part of the police's ACTIVE project,
which allows them to use Willwears.
[00:18] Gi
They're at the project's cutting edge,
and they're also the heroes who
[00:22] Gi
saved Japan from the Logos Incident.
[00:24] Gi
Picking up where we left off last week,
[00:27] Gi
I'm here again with Inspector Kuroki,
the ace of Unit 8!
[00:31] K
I'm Kuroki Takeru.
[00:33] K
Thanks for having me.

If you want to date me, get more money!
[00:49] Gi
Who the hell are you,
and why are you in a Willwear?
[00:52] Gu
You...
[00:53] Gu
I have a fun job where you
can earn more than that.
[00:56] Gu
How about it?
[00:59] K
Let me see...
[01:00] K
The gym, large-scale bathhouses...
And I like cream pound cake,
[01:04] K
but the one who bought it for me is gone now.
[01:06] Gu
You're a hero, but you have common tastes!
[01:08] K
I never thought I'd see the day when
you'd call me a hero, Komieri-chan.
[01:13] Gi
I'm sorry I was always so negative
when I was a newscaster.
[01:17] Gi
By the way, I hear you're
going to graduate school?
[01:20] K
Yes. At the last Diet meeting,
SIGN Nagoya City, Hisaya Odori
[01:22] K
they reviewed the laws, in particular
with respect to our authority
[01:25] K
to independently investigate
terrorist organizations.
[01:29] K
I figured I should dig a little deeper into it.
[01:33] K
And...
[01:34] K
There aren't enough of us
SIGN New City Hall: Hachioji City, Tokyo

[01:39] K
I want to learn from people across the country.
[01:41] Gi
The use of civilian police has
been authorized, as well.
[01:45] K
Well, "civilian police" is the media's name for it.
[01:48] K
You mean the use of civilian companies, right?
[01:51] K
With the Tokyo Summit coming up,
[01:53] K
having more people is a big help.
[01:55] Gi
Oh, I also heard that you know Governor Inagi.
[01:59] K
Yeah, I've known him since we were kids.

[02:12] Gi
I see.
[02:13] Gi
What do you think is in
store for Unit 8 after this?
[02:16] K
Nothing important will change.
[02:19] K
We'll keep protecting you,
[02:21] K
so keep supporting us!
[02:28] K
In the future,
[02:29] K
when something happens beyond
the normal police's capacity,
[02:33] K
they turn to the power of the ACTIVE project.

And if I can't?

I haven't worn a Willwear since

Then you'll still get three million yen.

And we'll use our connections

Shall I use my Mjölnir to destroy
the target's battery?
[10:52] R
Good idea. Smash it—
[10:54] Gu
Wait!
[10:55] Gu
Don't hit it with a shock that strong!
[10:58] Gu
Its equipment setup is
[11:00] Gu
the same one used by African suicide bombers!
[11:03] Gu
Suicide bombers?
[11:04] Gu
The battery pack is covered with explosives.
[11:08] Gu
And when it blows, the rest
of the armor explodes, too.
[11:12] Gu
A bullet from a gun isn't enough to detonate it,
[11:15] Gu
but it's not enough to
destroy the battery, either.
[11:18] Gu
Meaning...
[11:19] K
It's waiting for us to attack it?
[11:21] R
Then why did it run away?
[11:23] Gu
Well, that's a good point...
[11:25] Gu
Oh, I just got an ID on the suspect.
[11:28] Gu
Looks like a teenage girl.
[11:30] Gu
A report from sector 4 says a security camera
[11:33] Gu
spotted her at the old city hall's demolition site.
[11:37] Gu
Haraguchi Yuria.
[11:39] Gu
They learned the contents of her
conversation by reading her lips.
[11:42] Gu
If she can successfully flee until 14:00,
and then reach Tokyo Station,
[11:45] Gu
she'll get ten million yen.
[11:46] E
Does this mean that if we do nothing,
the Willwear will explode at 14:00?
[11:50] Gu
Yes, that's correct.
[11:53] I
I see. Understood.
[11:55] I
We have no choice.
[11:56] I
I'm designating everything within
[11:58] I
a one-kilometer radius of that
mobile Willwear an alert zone.
[12:01] Gi
Understood.
[12:03] Gu
That will have a major effect.
[12:05] I
But our first priority is citizen safety.
[12:10] R
Oscar III, head back. We'll devise a new plan.
[12:13] H
Understood.
[12:14] Gu
According to the data in the
association's libraries,
[12:17] Gu
the only possibility is this point.
[12:19] Gu
If we shoot at this angle, we can destroy
the battery's control circuits.
[12:23] M
Isn't that point too small?
[12:24] M
Taking into account temperature and humidity...
[12:26] R
We'll need a sniper.
[12:28] Gu
Do we have any who can use a Willwear?
[12:31] K
Boss, I'll go after all.
[12:33] K
Capture her and there's no problem.
[12:34] R
But if someone is watching her,
they might detonate right then!
[12:40] Y
Almost got my ten million!
[12:43] Gu
Good work, everyone.
[12:45] Gu
We'll now separate the trash we've gathered.

[13:02] Gu
It's been so long. How have you been?
[13:05] R
Well, I'm in a bind because I don't have a sniper.
[13:10] Gu
Huh?
[13:16] Gu
I see... A suicide bomber.
[13:18] Gu
I understand the situation, but...
[13:20] R
I want you to help us. We need your talent.
[13:24] S
But I'm part of a civilian company now.
[13:26] R
Didn't you hear that they adjusted the

[13:31] R
to allow more civilian cooperation?
[13:34] S
Sorry.
[13:35] S
All I've read lately is the Garbage Man's Times.
[13:38] R
Um... Well, a lot happened, so it's okay now.
[13:42] R
We already have a helicopter
en route with the unit.
[13:45] S
But how does that work with the rules?
[13:48] I
From Unit 8?
[13:49] Gu
Yes.
[13:50] Gu
They want immediate permission from Tokyo.
[13:53] Gu
What shall we do?
[13:54] Gu
This will be the first case of civilian
cooperation in the entire country.
[13:58] I
I'll give permission.
[13:59] I
I promised their section chief
[14:01] I
I'd make things easier for them.
[14:03] R
It's okay, really!
[14:06] Gu
But it's been so long since I left the front lines...
[14:11] K
Enough of this, boss!
[14:13] K
Talking with that dimwit is a waste of time.
[14:15] K
I'll start up my Willwear—
[14:16] R
Shut up for a second!
[14:17] R
Sena-kun, the law says it's okay, and I have
[14:20] R
permission from the relevant authorities.
[14:22] R
And the money—
[14:22] Gu
Money isn't the issue.
[14:24] Gu
I'm worried about the lack of practice, I guess.
[14:28] A

[19:26] S
getting along with city hall and tracking
hours, welfare payments, and work visas?
[19:29] K
I do not!
[19:31] K
You're the one who wanted to leave,
so don't come back and lecture me!
[19:35] S
Quiet, you careless fool!
[19:42] Gu
We did it! It worked!
[19:43] Gu
We stopped the explosion!
[19:46] Y
Huh? The battery's out of power?
[19:48] K
You can do it if you try, so just do it!
[19:51] S
Right. Thanks to you, I could concentrate.
[19:54] S
Thank you.
[19:55] S
In case you missed it, that was sarcasm.
[19:56] K
Right, right.
[19:58] M
Oh, no... Boss, the criminal...
[20:05] Gu
Which personality is Kaburagi-san's default?
[20:09] R
I don't know.
[20:10] Gu
Um, if you're worried about the
inner, then Haruka-san...
[20:16] Y
Man, I was so close to winning ten million yen!
[20:19] H
Your life isn't worth much, is it?
[20:22] Y
Did you say something?
[20:23] H
You were almost used in a suicide attack.
[20:33] S
No, it was fun to see you guys after so long.
[20:36] S
And you new kids, too. Work hard.
[20:39] Gi
Okay!
[20:40] R
Why don't you just stay here?
[20:43] R
You're our first civilian cooperator.
[20:46] S
My company's just getting off the ground.
[20:49] R
Aw, don't be like that...
[20:49] Gu
Oh, thank you. That's a big help.
[20:52] Gu
Goodbye, then.
[20:54] Gu
CEO Sena.
[20:55] S
Yes?
[20:56] Gu
You're going to be staying here
as part of a transfer.
[21:00] ---
Huh?
[21:01] Gu
Since you're guaranteed payment,
[21:03] Gu
we'll be keeping you for a little while.
[21:06] Gu
Your director says she'll kick
your ass if you go back.
[21:09] S
She'd do it, too.
[21:12] S
I guess I don't have a choice. Understood.
[21:14] R
So you're our new civilian cooperator.
[21:18] R
Make your introduction!
[21:19] S
Right.
[21:20] S
I'm Sena Souichirou, a new team member.
[21:23] S
I'm sure I'll have a lot to learn,
[21:25] S
but I look forward to working with all of you.
[21:34] K
I'll tell it to you straight. I don't like you.
[21:37] S
Thanks. I hate you, too.
[21:40] S
But...
[21:41] K
Yeah. If you're coming back, I want your help.
[21:45] K
More weird crimes are happening again.
[21:48] S
Do they have something to do with
the upcoming Tokyo Summit?
[21:51] K
I don't know.
[21:53] K
But there's more terrorism like today's.
[21:56] S
Come to think of it, what happened
to the observer Willwear?
[21:59] K
They're looking for it, but it won't be easy.
[22:01] S
Where's Mythos now?
[22:03] K
That is
[22:05] K
top-secret.
[22:08] S
I see.
[22:10] K
Later. Work starts tomorrow.
[22:13] K
And...
[22:14] K
Kyoukai-san said he'd repaint your Willwear.
[22:18] K
It's gonna be shocking pink.

Huh? Pretending?

Sorry!
