SIGN    It was all smoke and mirrors!
    
    A tragedy borne of believing a sham. There was no God!
    The Fruit of Tragedy
    
    The worst act of terrorism in history.
    The valiant effort to uncover the truth.
    
    The key to the truth lies with the cult leader.

[00:32] Amu
    Tonight's the night!
[00:33] Amu
    Tonight, we'll have Refloat Waterfront,
[00:35] Amu
    an unprecedented projection mapping event
[00:38] Amu
    to restore the submerged district.

    Shinmei Amu!
[00:45] Eriko
    Thank you, Amu-san.
[00:48] Amu
    Sure!
[00:49] Eriko
    So what's in store for us at this event?
[00:52] Eriko
    Take a look at this.
[00:54] Eriko
    First, mist machines installed at each
    station on the big loop line
[00:58] Eriko
    will create a massive mid-air mist screen.
[01:02] Eriko
    When the clock strikes midnight,
[01:04] Eriko
    special trains at all the
    loop-line stations will project
[01:07] Eriko
    the light of restoration over the district.
[01:09] Eriko
    On that starry night screen, we'll see...
SIGN    This is just an image of what's expected.

[01:19] Hachi
    And thus, the Babylon System
[01:21] Hachi
    turned to terror...
[01:33] Mutos
    In response to an increase in heinous crimes,
[01:35] Mutos
    a new movement is picking up steam in police
    and security forces around the world.

[03:11] Hachi
    Huh? A password?
SIGN    From: ARLM To: Bird Bird-sama, we await your presence.
[03:17] Hachi
    "Zion," maybe?
[03:21] Girl
    Are you kidding me?
[03:24] Girl
    What do you mean, this is the end?
[03:26] Girl
    You'd better not be expecting
    to get out of this scot-free.
[03:30] Girl
    Hey, don't ignore me, jackass!
[03:33] Girl
    Why don't you say something, huh?
[03:41] Girl
    Th-Thank you...
[03:45] Girl
    Thank you so much.
[03:54] Hachi
    Nice to meet you, Mythos.
[03:56] Mutos
    So you're Bird?
[03:58] Hachi
    Yeah. What was that just now?
[04:00] M
    My "big sister" in my twenty-seventh
    fake family, which I'm disbanding today.
[04:04] Hachi
    Fake families? On a monthly rotation?
[04:07] M
    Good guess.
[04:09] Hachi
    This is the thirty-second floor, after all.
[04:12] M
    Anyway, playtime is over.
[04:14] M
    She snapped, thinking I wasn't going to
    pay her father's big loan anymore.
[04:21] Hachi
    So you decided to pay off the loan, at least?
[04:24] M
    I dislike unnecessary trouble.
[04:26] Hachi
    It would be idiotic to get injured here.
[04:37] Hachi
    The desert, huh?
[04:39] Hachi
    You like the desert?
[04:40] M
    Yes, it's sanitary.
[04:43] Hachi
    By the way, isn't the password at
    the entrance an Atbash cipher?
[04:48] Hachi
    Was "Zion" intentional irony?
[04:51] M
    I thought you, of all people, would understand.
[04:58] Police
    So, regarding the string of
    incidents since last month,
[05:02] Police
    the laptop of the comatose suspect now
    undergoing treatment, Doumoto Kakeru,
[05:08] Police
    contained files such as how-to's
    for modifying Willwears.
[05:13] Hachi
    I had the Willwear you wanted
    transported to the location we discussed.
[05:17] M
    Thank you.
[05:19] M
    When you decrypted this and
    answered my call a year ago,
[05:24] M
    my heart skipped a beat.
[05:26] Hachi
    "Planning to execute the most
    entertaining crime of all time.
[05:29] Hachi
    Looking for partners."
[05:31] Hachi
    I want to see it soon.
[05:34] M
    You said you would become my
    best partner, did you not?
[05:38] Hachi
    Yes.
[05:39] M
    Then do this for me.
[05:41] Hachi
    Option 5?
[05:43] Hachi
    Fine, it'll be fun.
[05:45] Hachi
    Then let's be even more careful
[05:47] Hachi
    and delete each other's
    information from the cloud.
[05:51] M
    Yes, so we can become conquerors.
SIGN    Metropolitan Police Department Tokyo Airport Police Station
[05:56] Asami
    I have a new lead on the attempted
    bombing of the airplane!
[05:59] Asami
    A mechanic who resigned right after
    the incident confessed to letting
[06:02] Asami
    a third party into the hangar after
    the pre-flight maintenance.
[06:05] Rin
    And that individual rigged the plane?
[06:08] Asami
    Yes. The mechanic had suffered
    huge investment losses,
[06:12] Asami
    so the generous bribe blinded him.
[06:14] Rin
    Any connections to Logos?
[06:16] Asami
    His computer was trashed, so there's no
    clear-cut evidence connecting him to Logos.
[06:21] Asami
    However...
[06:22] Rin
    However?
[06:23] Asami
    The description of the saboteur
[06:25] Asami
    is basically a dead ringer for
    the boy in the hospital.
[06:29] Kuro
    So we have a link to Logos?
[06:30] Haruka
    Great!
[06:32] Asami
    But...
[06:33] Asami
    The office also told me this,
[06:35] Asami
    but wouldn't continuing the investigation
    overstep our bounds?
[06:38] Asami
    Each incident's been assigned
    to a specific precinct...
[06:41] Rin
    It'll be fine.
[06:42] Rin
    I have that sorted out.
[06:47] News
    So we're looking forward to tonight's event!

    It's sure to light a fire under the Tokyo

    Sorry to bother you on your day off.

    Can I see you today?
[07:03] H
    Oh, I'm free... Why?
[07:05] Hachi
    There's something I want to tell you.
[07:08] Hachi
    I'll be waiting in the student council room.

    Oh, okay.
[07:11] Hachi
    Then I'll see you later.

    Yes, that works.

    Refloat Waterfront!
[07:32] News
    Here, in the capital city of Tokyo,
    a new era will begin tonight.
[07:37] Haruka
    According to the suspects' statements,
[07:39] Haruka
    they all received an e-mail
    from Logos out of the blue.
[07:43] Haruka
    The specifics were different,
[07:45] Haruka
    but each message contained
    a specific reference
[07:49] Haruka
    to what the suspect wanted at the time
    or how the suspect could wreak havoc.
[07:54] Haruka
    Each message contained a unique link
[07:56] Haruka
    that gave the suspect access to a special site.
[08:01] Haruka
    The e-mails bounced through
    several overseas servers,
[08:04] Haruka
    and the addresses were all different.
[08:05] Haruka
    We don't know where they were sent from.
[08:08] Haruka
    And the site is inaccessible,
    except through the e-mail links.
[08:12] Haruka
    Also, we don't know how Logos
[08:15] Haruka
    determined what the suspects desired.
[08:17] Kuro
    Did they just cast a wide net?
[08:19] Asami
    That's not possible.
[08:20] Asami
    In Fukamura's case, they even asked
    if he wanted to meet Shinmei Amu.
[08:27] Rin
    I doubt Doumoto, AKA
    the Fisherman, was the leader.
[08:30] Rin
    Remember what he said?
[08:32] Dog
    I'm going to have my revenge... on them...
[08:37] Rin
    There has to be another... Maybe two?
[08:39] Hayashi
    Huh?
[08:41] Hayashi
    T-To the police in Takanawa?
[08:45] Hachi
    Hey! Thanks for coming, Hinata-kun.
[08:48] H
    N-No problem.
[08:50] H
    What did you want to talk to me about?
[08:56] Hachi
    What's "I love you" in Latin?
[08:59] H
    Huh?
[09:01] H
    U-Um, "te amo."
[09:04] Hachi
    Correct.
[09:08] Hachi
    How about "I want your lip," then?
[09:10] H
    L-Lip?
[09:13] Hachi
    Take your time.
[09:15] H
    O-Okay.
[09:19] H
    This is, um...
[09:20] H
    It's not like we're doing anything wrong—
[09:24] Det
    You're Hachijou Tomoki-kun,
    the one who contacted us, correct?
[09:28] Hachi
    Yes, that's me.
[09:31] Det
    Would you come with us
    to the Takanawa station?
[09:34] Hachi
    Yes, gladly.
[09:36] H
    P-President?
[09:38] Hachi
    I am the leader of the
    criminal organization Logos.
[09:42] Hachi
    I'm known as Bird.
[09:47] H
    No way...
[09:54] Asami
    He's Kouki Education Academy's
    student council president.
[09:57] Funa
    He's the student who wrote all those papers
[10:00] Funa
    about Willwear incidents, isn't he?
[10:03] Hayashi
    His statements all check out.
[10:05] Kuro
    Seriously? This kid's the leader of Logos?
[10:08] Sena
    He knew all the confidential information.
    We have to believe it.
[10:12] Rin
    Why did you decide to turn yourself in?
[10:15] Hachi
    Because there's nothing more to do.
[10:18] Rin
    What do you mean?
[10:19] Hachi
    I wanted to see something interesting,
[10:22] Hachi
    something I'd never seen before.
[10:24] Haruka
    That's why you were having Willwears
    run around? To have fun?
[10:29] Hachi
    I suppose, in that sense, I didn't exactly
    meet everyone's expectations.
[10:33] Asami
    So you're saying you did it because it was fun,
    but now that you're bored, you'll stop?
[10:37] Hachi
    I recognize that voice. I've met you before.
[10:40] Hachi
    Then maybe you were the final straw.
[10:43] Hachi
    With amazing people like you in Unit 8,
[10:46] Hachi
    I thought I couldn't possibly escape.
[10:49] Asami
    I've never met you.
[10:52] Hachi
    You're the one who saved Hinata-kun.
[10:57] Hachi
    Actually, I caused that incident
[11:00] Hachi
    so that I could collect data on you,
[11:03] Hachi
    using the school's security cameras.
[11:06] Rin
    Do you even care that you
    involved other students?
[11:10] Det
    Excuse me.
[11:11] Det
    Chief Yamabuki, we have orders to
    transport the suspect to main HQ.
[11:15] Det
    We're to take custody.
[11:19] Rin
    Understood.
[11:26] H
    Sis!
[11:28] Funa
    Boss, please take your sister home.
[11:31] Funa
    We'll go back to Kichijouji.
SIGN    If you see anything suspicious, call 110.
    Let's prevent terrorism!
[11:36] Rin
    What a surprise, huh?
SIGN    We're waiting for your tips! Woof!
[11:39] Rin
    I'm still making sense of it.
[11:43] H
    What will happen to him?
[11:45] Rin
    Main HQ has taken over.
[11:48] H
    It's not true that he's the leader of Logos, right?
[11:52] Rin
    I might end up having to look into it.
[11:57] Rin
    I've been keeping this secret from you
    all this time, but I'm Unit 8's head.
[12:06] H
    Wh-Why is everyone lying to me?
[12:20] M
    Goodbye, fake Emily.
[12:27] Kuro
    Guess that's one case down for the count.
[12:29] Kyou
    I heard Logos is finished now?
[12:32] Kuro
    Yeah, pretty much.
[12:35] Haruka
    I'm not sure how I feel about that.
[12:37] Kuro
    Yeah...
[12:39] Sena
    Still, it's not like we're out of a job.
[12:42] Asami
    That's right! You're so right!
[12:44] Funa
    Yes, it's Funasaka.
[12:44] Asami
    Unit 8 will continue to strive to
    stamp out all Willwear crime!
[12:47] Funa
    What?
[12:49] Funa
    Okay, I understand.
[12:53] Haruka
    Who was it?
[12:55] Funa
    Main headquarters.
[12:56] Kuro
    So they want us to look into it, after all?
[12:58] Funa
    No, Unit 8 has been disbanded.
[13:01] Kuro
    Huh?!
[13:01] Haruka
    No way!
[13:03] Asami
    What the...
[13:05] Asami
    What the hell is going on?
[13:07] Asami
    God damn!
[13:08] Asami
    Even though I have reported so much!
[13:12] Rin
    What? Disbanded?
[13:14] Funa
    Yes.
[13:15] Funa
    As of 23:59 today, our Willwears
    will be taken off-line,
[13:20] Funa
    and our access to the police
    network will be revoked.
[13:23] Funa
    Once the paperwork is in order,
    we'll be transferred to the USDF.
[13:28] Asami
    Transferred? What's the meaning of this?
[13:31] Asami
    The only choice is to permit
    its continued existence!
[13:33] Asami
    I assume you've read my reports?!
[13:36] Dir
    I don't have that kind of time.
[13:38] Asami
    Huh?
[13:39] Dir
    I never needed your reports.
[13:42] Dir
    All I needed was the wearable device
    you were initially provided.
[13:47] Dir
    We were monitoring Unit 8
    24-7 through that device.
[13:52] Asami
    B-But that's spying!
[13:55] Dir
    Look who's talking.
[13:57] Dir
    You know what you agreed to do, right?
[14:02] Liko
    Uploading!
[14:04] Haruka
    Well, now I can join in tonight's countdown.
[14:08] Haruka
    Lucky me.
[14:09] Kyou
    That's right. Projection mapping, was it?
[14:12] Haruka
    What? Kyoukai-san?
[14:14] Kyou
    Sorry. If we're disbanding,
[14:17] Kyou
    I have to deliver the Wear
    data to my headquarters.
[14:20] Kuro
    I'm going home, too.
[14:22] Kuro
    See you.
[14:23] Sena
    Hey!
[14:24] Kuro
    Yeah?
[14:24] Sena
    On a day like this, at least...
[14:27] Kuro
    At least what?
[14:29] Sena
    Wash out and toss your coffee can.
[14:39] Rin
    Asami-chan, I'm heading out.
[14:43] Rin
    Asami-chan?
[14:49] Kuro
    For Sena, this place may have been a demotion.
[14:52] Kuro
    But for me, it was a step up.
[14:55] Kyou
    I had fun, too.
[14:57] Kyou
    I'm glad I met you all.
[14:59] Kuro
    Hey, since we're parting ways,
[15:02] Kuro
    tell me your name.
[15:03] Kyou
    Didn't I tell you before that it's Sado Namihei?
[15:07] Kyou
    Yeah, right.
[15:08] Kyou
    Well, I'll still be commuting to
    Kichijouji for a while,
[15:11] Kyou
    so I'll see you around.
[15:16] Kuro
    I didn't hate this job.
[15:19] Kuro
    I could feel I was keeping people safe.
[15:23] Kyou
    But what choice do we have?
[15:25] Kyou
    You can't stop change.
[15:26] Kyou
    Not in people, organizations, or cities.
[15:28] Kyou
    Though, it is sad to see the unit shut down.

    Yeah, to have it shut down...

    I just wanted to space out here.
[16:34] Kuro
    This was one of my go-to spots

[16:39] Kuro
    Before, I was looking for a fight more
    than peace and quiet, though.
[16:43] Kuro
    There was a scary guy named Inagi
    in my neighborhood

    who was always on me for breaking the rules.

    I'd get thrown into the electric bathtub a lot.

    You don't look that peaceful right now, either.
[16:59] Kuro
    But...

    Cheers!
[17:36] Haruka
    Now that Unit 8's gone,
[17:38] Haruka
    you can hold your head high and go
    back to your elite career track.
[17:41] Asami
    I was supposed to become the next
[17:44] Asami
    leader of Japan's ACTIVE Project...
[17:48] Asami
    But now...
[17:50] Funa
    I'd say that dream is still within your grasp.
[17:55] Asami
    B-But for the time being,
[17:56] Asami
    I'll be sent to the Osaka or Aichi police force...
[18:00] Asami
    It's... It's my fault for being a spy...
[18:03] Haruka
    Well, you didn't really end up spying on us.
[18:06] Asami
    I'm sorry.
[18:07] Funa
    It doesn't matter now.
[18:09] Funa
    I'm used to the transfer switcheroo.
[18:12] Haruka
    Right, you ended up here
    because of Bloody Mary...
[18:14] Madoka
    If I may...
[18:17] Funa
    I'm not hung up over Bloody Mary anymore.
[18:19] Madoka
    That's not what I'm talking about.
[18:21] Madoka
    As the boss hypothesized, it makes more
    sense that there'd be one more in Logos.
[18:27] Rin
    Then Hachijou's turning himself in was a ruse?
[18:30] Sena
    A ploy to buy time, in case the
    investigation might find them?
[18:34] Asami
    Why bother doing that?
[18:36] Funa
    So there's a final plan?
[18:39] Madoka
    And that will soon end...
[18:42] Sena
    They're not after money.
[18:44] Haruka
    Don't you find it weird that
    Hachijou turned himself in?
[18:47] Asami
    What if they think they can get him out?
[18:50] Rin
    Either by breaking him out,
    or by getting him released...
[18:53] Sena
    They can't get him released
    without powerful connections...
[18:56] Haruka
    Oh!
[18:57] Haruka
    I have to go! It's almost time!
[19:00] Rin
    Oh, the projection mapping?
[19:03] Kuro
    I wonder if this is how the

[21:58] Min
    If we also lose admin access
[22:00] Min
