[00:05] Gu
He cleared his psychological evaluation.
[00:08] Gu
No signs of abnormality or
violence during observation,
[00:12] Gu
but reports do indicate an inability
to adapt to society.
[00:15] K
Of course...
[00:16] K
Since he was a kid, he hasn't
been part of normal society.
[00:21] Gu
Many committee members agree.
[00:24] Gu
As opposed to Hachijou, AKA Bird,
[00:25] Gu
they say he wants to be part of the community.
[00:28] R
So the permission we were given...
[00:31] Gu
Feel free to think of it as a test.
[00:33] Gu
Whether Japan accepts him or erases him...
[00:37] Gu
Well, that will be his choice.
[00:49] Gi
Sis...
[00:50] R
Don't worry. This place is safe.
[00:53] K
I've been here several times.
[00:54] K
He's an interesting guy.
[00:57] K
See, we're here.
[00:58] Gi
R-Right.
[01:03] K
The seething sea ceaseth,
thus the seething sea sufficeth us.

[01:09] Gi
Please come in.
[01:11] K
Thanks.
[01:16] K
Hey! How are you doing?
[01:20] K
I brought you some stuff, young man!
[01:31] Intro
In the future,
[01:32] K
when something happens beyond
the normal police's capacity,
[01:36] K
they turn to the power of the ACTIVE project.
[01:40] K
This is the story of Japan's ACTIVE,
the Third Mobile Assault Unit.

[03:04] M
What is it now?
[03:06] M
None of this is even remotely entertaining.
[03:08] K
Oh, don't be like that!
[03:10] K
This time, I brought Chinchirorin.
[03:12] M
I'm sure today, you still—
[03:13] K
Well, if you won't play with me,
[03:16] K
I'll just hang out here forever.
[03:18] K
Then, I'll start by explaining the rules.
[03:19] R
Well?
[03:20] R
Supposedly, he was the boy
partnered with Hachijou Tomoki.
[03:24] Gi
I don't know how to say it,
[03:26] Gi
but he's totally different from Hachijou-senpai.
[03:30] R
I see.
[03:33] M
That's thirty-two straight wins for me.
[03:36] M
It appears even Lady Luck has abandoned you.
[03:39] Gi
Why is Kuroki-san playing games with him?
[03:39] KurokiBackground
Damn it! I was sure I could win with this!
[03:42] KurokiBackground
One more time.
[03:42] R
To insure against recidivism,
it's best that society accepts him.
[03:47] R
Kuroki-kun says for that to work,
[03:50] R
Mythos needs to make friends with someone.
[03:52] Gi
Huh?
[03:53] Gi
He looks a little scary, but he's nice, isn't he?
[03:56] R
Yeah.
[03:59] R
What?
[04:00] Gi
I saw this back there, too,
[04:01] Gi
but you really have your act together
when you're working, huh?
[04:04] Gi
Why are you such a failure
at life when you're at home?
[04:08] R
Am I that much of a failure?
[04:10] Gi
Yes, you are.
[04:11] R
How am I a failure?
[04:13] R
Tell me!
[04:14] Gi
Well, for one, you failed to
notice that you're a failure!
[04:17] R
I failed?
[04:18] K
Hey, young man...
[04:21] K
Interested in the outside?
[04:24] M
It doesn't matter.
[04:25] K
Liko's back to normal.
[04:27] K
The chaos you caused is over.
[04:31] K
Hachijou escaped overseas
using extralegal measures—
[04:35] M
I don't care!
[04:45] Gu
That bastard...
[04:56] Gu
Unmanned—
[04:57] Gu
You're so slow!
[04:58] Gu
Get a move on!
[04:59] K
Um, this is to apologize for yesterday.

[05:02] Gu
No, that was needed to solve the case.
[05:05] K
No, not only did I use your
singing without permission,
[05:08] K
I made you clean up after the party!
[05:10] K
I have to give you something...
[05:11] F
It's partially my responsibility for calling Unit 9.
[05:15] K
But I still wouldn't feel right!
[05:18] R
Sorry, Asami-chan!
[05:19] R
We have to get going.
[05:21] K
Oh... Yes, great.
[05:23] R
So we're off to Davos
[05:25] R
for the International
Anti-Terrorism Conference.
[05:28] R
Kuroki-kun will be placed
[05:31] R
in charge of Unit 3.
[05:32] K
Understood!
[05:33] K
Take care of West Japan, too.
[05:35] K
Yeah, leave it to me!
[05:38] K
Great...
[05:40] M
U-Um, boss...
[05:42] M
I put all the reference materials
you'll need in this.
[05:46] M
Please take it!
[05:47] R
Th-Thank you.
[05:49] M
Take care.

Acting chief? You?
[05:54] K
Yeah.
SIGN Unit 8
[05:55] K
So if something happens,
you have to obey my orders... uh...
[06:00] K
Why do you look so dissatisfied?
[06:02] S
Well, my company will simply
act according to its contract.
[06:08] K
So this is the chief's chair?
[06:11] K
Actually, it's not that different.
[06:12] S
They're government-issued, after all.
[06:14] M
Um, someone from the media
[06:16] M
wants to talk to the acting chief.
[06:18] K
Fine!
[06:21] K
All yours.
[06:23] S
All mine?
[06:28] K
Komi-Eri-chan! Hey there!
[06:30] E
Oh? Kuroki-san?
[06:32] K
I'm the acting chief right now.
[06:34] E
I see.
[06:35] E
That might be better.
[06:37] E
I wanted to ask you something off the record.
[06:40] E
About that incident that took
down all the city systems,
[06:43] E
the Logos Incident...
[06:46] E
There's a rumor that an
underage boy was involved.
[06:49] K
There is, huh?
[06:51] E
It's hard to imagine a minor
causing all that chaos, but...
[06:55] K
Well, if there's one thing I can say,
[06:57] K
it's that you can still start over at that age.
[07:00] K
That's off the record, okay?
[07:01] E
While we're off the record,
let me ask about Governor Inagi!
[07:04] K
That's what you're really after, huh?
[07:07] E
I'm counting on you, Acting Chief!
[07:10] K
Good work today!
[07:11] K
Okay, a toast to the acting chief!
[07:13] ---
Cheers!
[07:19] S
You sure this is a good idea,
when we're already short-staffed?
[07:31] Gu
Reporting in.
[07:32] Gu
Highway 6, point B, nothing.
[07:35] Gu
Located a vehicle believed to be the target.
[07:36] Gu
In pursuit.
[07:37] Gu
Don't underestimate us!
[07:43] Gu
Target sighted.
[07:44] Gu
No one's riding it!
[07:46] Gu
So it matches the report. An unmanned,
remote-control vehicle?
[07:49] Gu
Oh, no! A pedestrian!
[07:55] Gu
You lost the target?!
[07:58] Gu
I guess we should contact Unit 8...
[08:05] K
Hey.
[08:06] M
What is it now?
[08:07] K
Something I wanted to ask you.
[08:10] K
The Willwear you used before...
[08:12] K
Did you have a second one ready?
[08:14] M
Free Delta?
[08:16] M
No.
[08:17] K
You didn't give it to someone else again, right?
[08:20] M
Giving the orders from here?
[08:22] M
Is security that weak at this prison?
[08:25] K
This safe house!
[08:27] M
So someone, somewhere, is using
the same type of Willwear
[08:31] M
to cause some kind of trouble.
[08:34] M
Correct?
[08:37] K
Well?
[08:39] M
That certainly is Free Delta.
[08:41] M
But it doesn't seem to have
been customized like mine.
[08:44] K
Who do you think it is, and what's their plan?
[08:46] M
Why do I have to answer that?
[08:50] K
That's true.
[08:51] K
Bye, then. I'll be back.
[08:58] Gu
The light!
[08:59] Gu
Brake!
[09:04] Gu
Damn it!
[09:05] Gu
This is Car 4.
[09:06] Gu
Why do the lights always change
right when it needs them to?
[09:07] ---
Target lost near East Elementary School.
Requesting immediate backup.
[09:11] E
A mysterious motorcycle is
rampaging through the city.
[09:13] E
It's shaken off pursuit by the police's
Mobile Traffic Unit multiple times.
[09:17] E
What is its goal?
[09:19] E
Will it be out again tonight?
[09:22] E
This concludes my report from the scene.
[09:25] M
I can't believe we can't go out there.
[09:28] K
The guys in Traffic Investigation
have a lot of pride...
[09:32] H
Is that why they haven't asked us for support,
[09:35] H
even though it's a Willwear incident?
[09:36] K
However,
[09:38] K
it's not much of an incident.
[09:41] S
Yeah, only traffic violations.
[09:44] S
Come to think of it,
[09:45] S
the guys in Mobile Traffic
said something strange.
[09:48] S
Traffic lights turn green
everywhere the motorcycle goes.
[09:52] H
Does that mean someone's
[09:54] H
hacking the system and controlling the lights?
[09:57] S
No, actually,
[09:58] S
the Traffic Control Center
says that's not happening.
[10:02] S
There's no sign of a hack,
[10:05] S
and the lights are under control.
[10:08] M
That leaves...
[10:09] M
Controlling the lights directly, at the scene?
[10:12] K
All right, Head Patrol Officer Kaburagi!
[10:14] M
Y-Yes, sir!
[10:15] K
You're going to question people at the scene.
[10:17] M
What?! At the scene? I... I...
[10:20] K
I grant permission to use your glasses.
[10:26] Gu
How's it been lately?
[10:27] Gu
Okay, I guess...
[10:29] M
May I ask you something?
[10:32] K
I guess she can do it, after all.
[10:36] M
Excuse me!
[10:37] ---
Huh?!
[10:38] M
Um, have you...
[10:38] M
Hey, you alone?
[10:39] Guys
I know a place you can make good money.
[10:41] M
Have you heard of the "ghost bike"?
[10:42] Gi
You with a magazine or TV?
[10:43] Gi
That's hilarious!
[10:47] M
I asked all around the city, and no one saw
[10:49] M
anyone suspicious near the light
[10:51] M
control panels during the incidents
with the motorcycle Willwear.
[10:55] S
Good work.
[10:56] H
I'm amazed you were able to get
that much witness testimony!
[10:58] M
Yes, many people who are making
[11:01] M
prolonged pit stops in the
race of life helped me.
[11:04] H
If the press heard you say that,
there'd be an uproar!
[11:07] H
I'm taking these back.
[11:08] M
No! Please, no...
[11:09] H
Sorry.
[11:10] H
Acting chief's orders.
[11:12] K
That's right!
[11:13] K
You don't need to rely on those...
[11:15] K
Er, what's this?
[11:17] S
Witness reports I had an
acquaintance collect for me.
[11:21] S
About that Willwear.
[11:22] K
Thanks.
[11:25] K
So that motorcycle Willwear...
[11:28] K
Everywhere it goes, the lights turn green.
[11:32] K
The Traffic Control Center
says nothing's wrong.
[11:35] K
And there's no sign of the lights
being altered directly.
[11:38] K
So how?
[11:42] M
The control center
[11:44] M
uses road data on traffic levels
[11:47] M
in order to adjust the lights
and avoid congestion.
[11:51] M
If someone rewrote that traffic flow data...
[11:56] M
What would happen?
[11:58] M
Shall I show you?
[11:59] K
Can you do that?
[12:01] ---
Hey!
[12:01] K
Nope...
[12:02] K
I'm not letting you on the Internet yet!
[12:12] S
Hey, it's morning.
[12:16] S
You stayed all night?
[12:18] K
I was running all over until after the last train.
[12:22] K
Morning.
[12:23] Gu
Good morning.
[12:25] H
So how's it going?
[12:26] K
Traffic Investigation says this case
is theirs, and they don't need us.
[12:32] H
Then, why not claim we're investigating
[12:35] H
the traffic flow monitors?
[12:36] ---
I see...
[12:38] K
All right!
[12:39] K
Third Mobile Assault Unit 8, roll out!
[12:42] S
You just wanted to say that, didn't you?
[12:53] Gu
If we're investigating traffic flow monitors,
why are we taking this?
[12:59] S
The acting chief just wanted to do it, probably.
[13:03] M
Kuroki-san, the ghost bike has appeared.
[13:08] K
This is where good luck comes in handy!
[13:11] Gu
This is Mobile Unit 105.
[13:13] Gu
Heading south on Highway 16.
[13:15] Gu
I repeat...
[13:18] H
You were right!
[13:19] H
The data doesn't match the real traffic flow!
[13:21] K
Okay, I'll go and solve the case.
[13:24] S
No. You don't have permission.
[13:26] K
That doesn't matter. We can get it later.
[13:27] S
It does matter.
[13:29] S
If there's a problem, I'll be—
[13:30] K
Ever since you went civilian,
you've turned boring.
[13:34] S
What did you say?
[13:34] S
Public servants are those
with steady paychecks—
[13:36] K
You're the one who threw that
steady paycheck away!
[13:40] K
This is a good time for me to ask...
[13:42] K
Why did you quit the police?
[13:44] K
You were on the fast track to promotion.
[13:46] S
I told you.
[13:47] S
To take responsibility for launching without
permission during the Logos Incident—
[13:50] K
The police chief said there was no need for that!
[13:53] S
That's...
[13:53] K
You're too weak, mentally.
[13:56] K
Whenever things get bad, you run.
[13:58] K
I bet I know what it was.
[13:59] K
You wanted to get away from
Lieutenant Ooshikouchi!
[14:01] S
You ass!
[14:03] K
You quit the fast track with
the Ministry of Defense.
[14:05] K
You quit the fast track with the cops.
[14:07] K
What are you trying to accomplish?!
[14:09] S
It's none of your business!
[14:10] S
Then why are you so relaxed
about promotions?!
[14:14] K
What do you mean, relaxed?!
[14:14] Gu
Stop it, you two.
[14:15] K
That's what I hate about you!
[14:16] ---
Hey!
[14:18] H
The unmanned Willwear has disappeared.
[14:22] K
Right.
[14:25] K
Hey.
[14:25] M
Well?
[14:27] K
You were right.
[14:29] K
The traffic flow data was altered.
[14:32] M
I see.
[14:33] K
But what's that Willwear trying to do?
[14:36] K
It's popping up all over the city,
[14:38] K
as if it just wants to screw with us.
[14:40] K
It races along for a while and disappears.
[14:43] K
Its appearances are so random,
we can't use checkpoints.
[14:46] K
If only we could guess where
it will appear next...
[14:49] M
What about the transit routes?
[14:52] M
Trace the routes it's traveled.
[14:58] K
How's it going?
[14:59] M
We traced the transit routes the target used,
[15:03] M
then eliminated everything but
those it used multiple times.
[15:06] M
This is what's left.
[15:12] H
"Rider"?
[15:13] M
Because it's a bike?
[15:15] K
It's screwing with us!
[15:17] M
Doesn't that mean it's over?
[15:20] R
I guess next could be an "S," for "Riders."
[15:22] H
Or since it's unmanned,
[15:24] H
next could be the "L" in "Riderless."
[15:27] H
Like, it could head east at the
bottom right of the screen?
[15:30] H
Shall we tell police HQ?
[15:33] K
We can tell them about "Rider"
and the green traffic lights.
[15:37] K
For everything else, we have more work to do.
[15:39] H
Right. We can tell them when we're certain.
[15:42] K
Okay, take care of contacting them.
[15:44] H
Where are you going?
[15:45] K
I'm off to hear the rest.
[15:46] H
To hear it?
[15:47] Gu
From whom?
[15:48] S
No idea.
[15:50] K
You were right.
[15:52] K
We traced the transit route,
and the word "Rider" appeared.
[15:56] M
Yeah?
[15:57] K
I wonder where he'll show up next...
[15:59] K
I wonder what letter it will be!
[16:02] M
Do you get some benefit in
not telling me everything?
[16:06] M
I dislike doing things this way.
[16:08] M
Tell me all your information on them.
[16:10] K
You're right.
[16:14] K
If the "them" you're referring to
is Hachijou... no, Bird,
[16:19] K
there's more to this than it looks like.
[16:22] K
She went to school with Bird's public identity,
[16:24] K
high school student Hachijou Tomoki.
[16:28] K
Don't worry.
[16:29] K
He won't bite.
[16:31] Gi
Um, nice to meet you.
[16:34] M
No, this isn't our first meeting.
[16:38] M
I was looking into Bird, and I found you.
[16:41] GI
What was the Hachijou-senpai you knew like?
[16:46] K
Here are our investigation files.
[16:48] K
Go over them together.
[16:50] M
Is it all right?
[16:51] K
We're still watching you, just in case.
[16:53] Gu
He didn't have to tell him.
[16:55] Gu
Isn't that one of his weapons, though?
[17:01] K
Don't look at anything you don't need to.
[17:04] M
Next will be another "E."
[17:06] M
On the west side.
[17:08] M
On this screen, the left side.
[17:10] K
An "E" on the left side?
[17:12] K
ERIDER?
[17:14] Gu
We've identified the next point at which
the unmanned motorcycle will appear,
[17:17] Gu
using its transit route thus far.
SIGN Conference Room 1
Unmanned Motorcycle Willwear
Emergency Response HQ
[17:20] Gu
We believe the criminal is doing this for fun.
[17:22] Gu
We'll make a cordon around "L"
[17:25] Gu
and deploy our personnel there.
[17:27] Gu
Yes, sir!
[17:29] Gu
This is Team A. We're in position.
[17:31] Gu
Teams B and C will arrive soon.
[17:33] H
Mobile Traffic is staking out point "L," after all.
[17:36] H
We'll go to the "E" on the opposite side.
[17:39] K
No harm in staking out both, right?
[17:42] K
And we're betting on him.
[17:45] K
Not taking advantage of his
talent would be a waste.
[17:48] M
But he's being held as someone
dangerous, isn't he?
[17:52] K
His life was warped.
[17:55] K
If it can be straightened out,
[17:58] K
I'd like to try.
SIGN Target
[18:00] Gu
Target motorcycle has appeared.
[18:02] Gu
Okay, where?
[18:03] Gu
Going in the other direction.
[18:05] Gu
What?
[18:06] Gu
We're on our way!
[18:07] Gu
Keep pursuing it!
[18:09] K
Whoever is remote controlling
this, can you hear me?
[18:12] K
Move your Willwear to the side
of the road, and power down!
[18:15] K
Repeat, move your Willwear—
[18:18] K
You know...
[18:20] K
I know exactly where you're going!
[18:23] H
They came here after all.
[18:25] H
Kyoukai-san, this Willwear...
[18:27] Gu
I've got it here.
[18:28] Gu
No life signs, just like we thought.
[18:30] H
No need to hold back, then!
[18:33] M
It accelerated!
[18:34] M
Oscar III!
[18:35] H
Congratulations, Kyoukai-san!
[18:37] H
We get to test this...
[18:39] H
Mjölnir Mode II!
[18:43] H
Huh?
[18:46] H
What the heck?!
[18:49] K
The movements are following a program.
[18:50] K
He was right...
[18:53] M
Next will be another "E."
[18:55] M
On the west side.
[18:56] M
On this screen, the left side.
[18:58] K
An "E"? ERIDER?
[18:59] M
He's deliberately using one-way
streets the wrong way.
[19:02] M
In other words, that's how
he wants us to read it.
[19:05] K
REDIRE?
[19:07] K
What's that?
[19:08] Gi
Latin.
[19:10] K
Latin?
[19:11] Gi
Indeed.
[19:13] Gi
"Redire." It means
[19:16] Gi
"to return."
[19:18] K
Return? What's returning?
[19:20] M
Bird.
[19:22] K
That's one hell of an elaborate trick to play!
[19:24] Gi
No, he never did anything without reason.
[19:28] M
Yeah, he's not playing around.
[19:30] M
Most likely, there's another aspect.
[19:33] M
But...
[19:35] M
The Willwear probably has a
monitoring transmitter on it.
[19:39] M
There's something I want you to do with it.
[19:43] H
I guess I'll grant his wish.
[19:47] H
Striking Crusher Cannon,
[19:50] H
fire!
[19:56] Gu
I see...
[19:57] Gu
So the present was successfully received.
[20:00] Gu
It was simple.
[20:02] Gu
I sent the traffic cops running around the city,
[20:05] Gu
and then directed it through the gaps.
[20:09] Gu
Okay, I'm looking forward to seeing you.
[20:12] Gu
So it got caught, huh?
[20:15] Gu
Then I'll turn off the system...
[20:22] Gu
Mythos?
[20:31] R
I'm back.
[20:33] H
W-Welcome back.
[20:35] H
Um...
[20:36] M
We're sorry!
[20:37] R
Don't tell me you're sorry!
[20:39] R
What am I supposed to do with
this stack of bar receipts?!
[20:43] R
Jeez...
[20:47] R
What is this?!
[20:49] H
That was Kuroki-san.
[20:50] S
I thought it was wrong, too, but...
[20:52] R
Sena-kun, even if there's an extra charge
for cleaning private spaces...
[20:57] S
No, it was bothering me,
[20:59] S
so I did clean it,
[21:00] S
but he got worse every day.
[21:04] H
And his territory expanded every day...
[21:07] F
Where is he?
[21:08] F
Where did Kuroki-kun go?
[21:10] H
He's dealing with that other matter.
[21:12] R
That other matter?
[21:13] R
Oh, the one Hayashida-san reported on?
[21:19] K
Hey.
[21:21] K
Want to go outside?
[21:26] K
If he's coming back,
[21:27] K
we want someone who can fight him.
[21:30] M
And that someone is me?
[21:32] K
You want to get back at him, right?
[21:35] K
I got permission from above.
[21:37] K
For cooperating with the investigation,
you can have a degree of freedom.
[21:41] K
But you've gotta keep this GPS bracelet on.
[21:43] M
You'll be the one observing me?
[21:45] K
Yeah.
[21:46] K
You deleted your own data from
the government systems, right?
[21:49] K
You need to be registered to some country,
[21:51] K
so the documents say that
you're my little brother.
[21:56] K
You have three choices!
[21:59] One
One, Kuroki Jirou.
[22:01] Two
Two, Kuroki Shimajirou.
[22:03] Three
Three, Kuroki Nobujirou.
[22:06] M
So I'm stuck with "Jirou"?
[22:08] K
You're my little brother, after all.
[22:11] K
Nice to meet you, Jirou!
[22:13] M
Can I at least have the right
to choose my own name?

[23:51] M
I'm not saying it.
[23:52] M
Huh, then maybe I will...
SIGN File 5: Who Benefits?
[23:54] M
Bird, if you're saying it otherwise, I will.
[23:58] M
Ohakonyapachininko.
[24:01] M
You fell for it, Jirou-kun.
[24:03] M
Don't call me that!
