[00:02] Gi
    Tokyo is a target.
[00:04] Gi
    Even with the Logos threat gone,
[00:07] Gi
    crimes involving Willwear misuse still occur,
[00:10] Gi
    and are escalating by the day.
[00:12] Gi
    And to make matters worse,
[00:14] Gi
    the quicksand zone is now the perfect
    hiding place for illegal immigrants.
[00:17] Gi
    Tokyo... no, our entire country
[00:20] Gi
    has been left far too undefended until now.
[00:22] K
    You haven't changed, Inagi-san.
[00:25] Gu
    I'm grateful.
[00:26] Gu
    Having the governor's direct support
[00:28] Gu
    has enabled us to make development
    of these enhancement units a reality.
[00:34] Gu
    How did you deceive the Diet?
[00:36] Gi
    "Deceived" is putting it so crudely...
[00:41] Gu
    How did you—
[00:43] K
    Right, whatever. Let's start the test.
[00:46] Gu
    Wait a second...
[00:47] Gu
    I'm doing final checks now.
[00:49] K
    Sure, sure.
[00:51] K
    Well, it's thanks to Inagi-san that Unit 8 has
    a lot more freedom to act than before.
[00:56] K
    We're grateful.
[00:58] K
    What's with that laugh? It's creepy!
[01:02] I
    You've sure grown up, huh?
[01:05] K
    What are you doing? You're the governor!
[01:09] K
    Stop laughing!
[01:15] Intro
    In the future,
[01:16] K
    when something happens beyond
    the normal police's capacity,
[01:20] K
    they turn to the power of the ACTIVE project.
[01:24] K
    This is the story of Japan's ACTIVE,
    the Third Mobile Assault Unit.
SIGN    File 2: Endless Avenger
[02:47] Gu
    The hit-and-run driver is on Yokosuka Bridge,
    fleeing toward the Bahori Coast.
[03:01] K
    An incident in Kanagawa?
[03:03] K
    But...
[03:04] Gu
    We're about to start the test.
[03:06] I
    If you have complaints, tell Funasaka-san.
[03:08] I
    Forget this and head to the scene.

[03:42] I
    This is Oscar II, heading out first!
[03:49] I
    I'm too late?
[03:51] I
    What's that?
[03:55] R
    This is the seventh incident.
[03:57] R
    The culprit is committing crimes
    to draw out the police.
[04:01] R
    It seems safe to assume that.
[04:03] R
    And here's the footage we have of them.
[04:07] Gu
    What's this Willwear?
[04:09] E
    Is that a Centaur Unit?
[04:11] K
    A Centa... What?
[04:13] Gu
    I'll explain.
[04:15] Gu
    The Willwear is an off-the-shelf,
    all-purpose model.
[04:19] Gu
    But what makes this one special
    is this part, the Centaur Unit.
[04:23] Gu
    By combining, it can bring out
    the Willwear's full power,
[04:27] Gu
    vastly increasing its maneuverability.
[04:29] Gu
    It has a spare battery,
[04:31] Gu
    so you can use it over a long period of time.
[04:34] Gu
    In the future, we hope it can be used
[04:37] Gu
    to develop remote areas or for rescue
    operations in disaster zones.
[04:41] E
    The Polska police originally
[04:43] E
    developed this unit to enable the
    formation of a Willwear cavalry.
[04:49] K
    In Poland?
[04:50] E
    Seeing it used for crime this way
    is extremely disappointing.
[04:54] M
    Is the criminal someone who has
    something against Poland?
[04:57] Gu
    Or against the police?
[04:59] R
    Our only clue is this mark left at the scene.
[05:02] R
    It may be some kind of message, since it's
    left behind at every crime scene.

[05:25] Gu
    Hey, this envelope—
[05:33] L
    Hi, hi! I figured it out!
[05:35] L
    I bet this is what the mark is!
[05:39] Gu
    I see... It's the Aster Electrical
    Engineering company badge?
[05:42] E
    What's a company badge?
[05:44] E
    Is it like a company logo?
[05:46] E
    That's right. Ours is...
[05:49] E
    This.
[05:50] R
    Of all things, it's the company
    involved in that incident?
[05:53] E
    Incident?
[05:54] Gu
    It was about eight years ago.
[05:57] Gu
    This company manufactures
    precision Willwear parts,
[06:00] Gu
    but it was also involved in the illegal
    export of devices that could be
[06:04] Gu
    converted into weapons of mass destruction.
[06:07] Gu
    The media reported
[06:08] Gu
    that some of the top brass on the
    police force may have known,
[06:11] Gu
    but covered it up in return for bribes.
[06:14] M
    Huh...
[06:16] K
    "Huh," nothing.
[06:17] K
    You need to know this, right?
[06:21] Gu
    The police firmly denied it, of course.
[06:24] Gu
    But during the frenzy over the incident,
    a police officer resigned.
[06:28] Gu
    A voluntary resignation, ostensibly.
SIGN    Name: Raidou Tetsuo Occupation: Unknown Location: Unknown
[06:31] H
    Sergeant Raidou Tetsuo.
[06:33] Sign
    He was 45 years old.
[06:34] K
    He voluntarily resigned?
[06:36] R
    Yes.
[06:37] R
    Naturally, the media wasn't satisfied with that.
[06:40] R
    They thought he was just being
    used as a scapegoat.
[06:44] H
    If that's true,
[06:46] H
    it would give him plenty of
    reason to hate the police.
[06:49] K
    Sounds like another big mess.
SIGN    Incoming Call
[06:52] S
    Yes, this is Unit 8.
[06:55] ---
    What?
[07:00] M
    The driver is only slightly injured.
[07:02] K
    If it's Raidou who did this,
[07:04] K
    and he kidnapped the director,
[07:07] K
    does that mean the director
    was involved in the case?
[07:10] F
    I couldn't say for sure...
[07:15] R
    This is Yamabuki.
[07:16] R
    After leaving the police force, Raidou went
[07:19] R
    through several jobs and addresses.
[07:21] R
    He disappeared from his last known address,
    a Nerima apartment, last year.
[07:24] K
    Asami knows Director Kazama pretty well, right?
[07:29] F
    That's the one who took
    advantage of Kazari-kun.
[07:31] F
    Would he tell her anything private?
[07:34] K
    So I mean...
[07:36] K
    Is there anyone who hated the director?
[07:48] K
    She seems to be in a good mood.
[07:52] R
    Yes, this is Yamabuki.
[07:54] E
    Boss,
[07:55] E
    Raidou is still missing,
[07:57] E
    but I found a storage warehouse
    rented in his name.
[08:01] R
    A rented warehouse?
[08:03] K
    Good work, Polish policewoman!
[08:05] K
    Asami, that's enough.
[08:07] K
    You can buy us some bean mochi as a gift.
[08:09] K
    Bye.
[08:11] R
    Emilia-chan, you be ready to go, too.
[08:15] E
    Me, too?
[08:16] R
    Yes. Isn't Kyoukai-kun with you?
[08:19] R
    Be ready.

    Hey, Kuroki-san...

    Oscar VII, set Foundation Omega Unit.
[08:58] Gu
    It's been a long time, Inspector Kazama.
[09:01] Gu
    Or should I say "Director" now?
[09:04] Gu
    Who are you?
[09:06] Gu
    You were right. I was a failure as an officer.
[09:09] Gu
    But why only me?
[09:11] Gu
    Why do the police still employ the others,
    and why do they still get promotions?
[09:16] Gu
    Are you Raidou?
[09:17] Gu
    That's right. I'm Raidou.
[09:20] Gu
    The man you forced into
    retirement ten years ago.
[09:28] Gu
    Well?
[09:28] E
    I-I'm not really seeing anything.
[09:30] K
    Go around to the back. Break in on my signal.
[09:36] K
    What's wrong?
[09:36] E
    A-All right.
[09:39] Gu
    Raidou, I swear I had nothing
    to do with that case.
[09:43] Gu
    Believe me!
[09:44] Gu
    Shut up!
[09:48] K
    Don't move, Raidou!
[09:49] Gu

[09:50] K
    Purge your Willwear!
[09:53] K
    Slowly.
[09:59] K
    That's right. Don't try anything funny.
[10:04] E
    No!
[10:06] K
    What are you doing, Oscar VII?!
[10:12] K
    Oscar VII, the director!
[10:15] E
    R-Right!

    Damn it, give it up already!

    What? The Falcon Unit?
[10:48] K

[10:50] Gu
    It's not tested yet—
[10:51] K
    I'll test it during the fight!
[10:56] Gu
    Oh, fine...
[11:23] K
    There it is!
[11:39] Gu
    Okay!

[12:39] Gu
    I got nearly all the data I needed at once!
[12:45] Gu
    It's not him.
[12:47] Gu
    This is not Raidou.
[12:50] ---
    What?!
[12:51] K
    A memory transfer?
[12:53] F
    How bold.
[12:55] S
    Memory-transfer experimentation
    was an actual field of research at
[12:59] S
    the National Defense Academy,
    where I studied.
[13:01] H
    Not the National Defense Medical College?
[13:04] S
    It was a type of brain-machine
    interface research.
[13:07] F
    I see.
[13:08] H
    In other words, this Asanuma guy
[13:10] H
    we captured had Raidou's memories implanted.
[13:13] S
    I asked the chief to have them scan
    Asanuma's brain, and they found
[13:17] S
    that his hippocampus was particularly enlarged.
[13:19] F
    His hippocampus?
[13:21] S
    The same thing was seen in test subjects
    in the Academy's experiments.
[13:26] S
    Of course, that research was shut
    down before it was completed,
[13:30] S
    and the school fired the professor responsible.
[13:33] S
    I think his name was Doctor Mashirao...
[13:35] H
    Doctor Mashirao?
[13:36] F
    I'll go talk to the Academy.
[13:39] K
    I'll hit Asanuma's apartment.
[13:41] K
    That's Funabashi's jurisdiction, right?
[13:43] R
    Kuroki-kun!
[13:46] R
    Can I talk to you?
[14:02] K
    Yo.
[14:02] E
    Inspector Kuroki...
[14:05] K
    You know, you don't have to live on
    the same floor that Unit 8's on.
[14:09] E
    I can easily get to the scene from here.
[14:12] K
    It's about the man we captured.
[14:14] K
    There's a chance his memories were implanted.
[14:19] E
    Um, Inspector Kuroki, I actually—
[14:21] K
    Ow.
[14:23] E
    Were you injured in the battle
    with the Centaur Unit?
[14:25] K
    No, no.
[14:27] K
    I got this in a fight when I was a kid.
[14:29] E
    A fight?
[14:30] K
    Yeah, thanks to a certain nosy bastard,
    I got off with nothing worse,
[14:35] K
    but it still hurts sometimes.
[14:37] E
    Since you have a strong sense of justice,
[14:40] E
    I'd guess you were protecting
    something, weren't you?
[14:42] K
    Couldn't say.
[14:43] K
    But ever since, I've been trying to do what I can,
[14:46] K
    one thing at a time, no matter how small it is.
[14:49] K
    You know, I actually couldn't do
    subtraction until high school.
[14:53] E
    Really?
[14:55] K
    After that, I started studying one thing at a time.
[14:58] K
    At the time, I hated it,
[14:59] K
    but now I'm proud of the effort I put in.
[15:03] K
    Don't tell anyone what I just said.

[16:14] S
    Kuroki?
[16:15] S
    Hey, what's wrong?
[16:19] Gu
    This is a good spot.
[16:20] Gu
    People keep falling into the trap.
[16:24] H
    Jeez, why does he go off on his own?
[16:27] M
    I wish he would have taken me.
[16:30] Gu
    Where's Funasaka-san?
[16:32] H
    He says he'll catch up later.
[16:34] E
    Wait!
[16:35] E
    Give me permission to go.
[16:37] R
    Permission granted.
[16:39] R
    Kyoukai-kun?
[16:40] Gu
    His signal's been completely lost.
[16:43] Gu
    The best I can do is narrow it to this area.
[16:45] H
    Deploying drones to that area.
[16:47] H
    Local police are searching, too.
[16:54] K
    Emilia?
[16:56] R
    Yeah.
[16:57] R
    I didn't know this,
[16:58] R
    but Emilia was evidently involved
    in testing the Centaur Unit.
[17:03] R
    But her Willwear suddenly
    shut down during a mission.
[17:07] R
    For three days, she was unable to move,
    trapped in a pitch-black Willwear.
[17:12] R
    She had to wait three days for help to arrive.
[17:15] K
    Three days?!
[17:16] R
    Had it been a normal battery, it could've
    been purged, and all would've been fine.
[17:20] R
    Emilia was a talented officer, but she
    started avoiding Willwear missions,
[17:25] R
    so there wasn't much place
    for her in the Polish police.
[17:27] R
    That's why they sent her to us, I guess.
[17:43] K
    Raidou!
[17:45] R
    The body rots...
[17:47] R
    But my hatred will remain in this world,
[17:52] R
    to wreak vengeance on you police.
[17:57] Gu
    I decided to let you help with
    the experiment, after all.
[18:02] K
    Experiment?!
[18:05] Gu
    When you next wake up,
[18:07] Gu
    you'll be a different person.
[18:10] Gu
    You'll be him.
[18:20] H
    Nothing on video?
[18:23] H
    What about you, Kyoukai-san?
[18:24] Gu
    Drones are picking up the voices,
[18:27] Gu
    so the quality isn't that good.
[18:33] K
    Are you Doctor Mashirao?!
[18:36] Gu
    Got it!
[18:37] Gu
    Memories associated with strong emotion
[18:39] Gu
    have produced more experimental success.
[18:41] Gu
    Which makes Raidou the perfect subject.
[18:47] Gu
    But there are compatibility
    issues to account for.
[18:50] Gu
    I had to periodically rewrite
    Asanuma's memories.
[18:54] Gu
    I wonder how compatible you are...
[18:58] R
    Kyoukai-kun, calculate a trajectory.
[19:00] Gu
    You plan on charging straight in?
[19:03] R
    Yes.
[19:03] R
    If we don't stop him, Raidou's memory
    will overwrite Kuroki-kun's!
[19:07] Gu
    But to do so, we'll have to
    break through obstacles.
[19:11] Gu
    Your Wear can't handle that.
[19:13] H
    Then I'll go.
[19:14] Gu
    Yours is no different. We have
    to wait for Funasaka-san—
[19:17] S
    There's no time.
[19:19] S
    Chief, I'll go.
[19:21] R
    But I don't think this mission
    was in your contract...
[19:24] S
    There's no time for that!
[19:25] E
    Boss!
[19:26] Gu
    Here we go.

    Don't resist. Accept it!
[19:44] Gu
    It will all be over soon!

    Wh-Where is Inspector Kuroki?
[20:07] E
    S-State your name and rank...

    Don't talk to me that way!

    You saved me.
[20:33] K
    Thanks. I owe you one.
[20:36] K
    And...
[20:38] K
    You did great.
[20:39] E
    I have a long way to go.
[20:41] K
    One thing at a time.
[20:43] K
    Just one at a time.
[20:44] E
    Right!
[21:05] F
    The local police said Raidou's cause
    of death was heart disease.
[21:09] F
    Apparently, overuse of drugs
[21:11] F
    tore his body apart.
[21:14] R
    From Doctor Mashirao's experiments?
[21:16] F
    Perhaps.
[21:18] F
    The other surprising thing
[21:20] F
    was that Doctor Mashirao died two years ago.
[21:23] R
    Then who was that man?
[21:25] F
    The body belonged to a man named
    Shirane, Mashirao's assistant.
[21:29] F
    Doctor Mashirao knew he would die soon,
[21:31] F
    so he transferred his
    memories into his assistant.
[21:35] F
    As with Asanuma, Shirane overwrote
    his memory several times,
[21:39] F
    and his hippocampus was quite enlarged.
[21:42] R
    But there are still questions.
[21:45] R
    Like where he got the Centaur Unit...
[21:51] K
    Jeez, I don't even know who's who now!
