SIGN    Four Years Ago
[00:05] Funa
    You did that all for your little sibs?
[00:11] Funa
    Swear you'll turn over a new leaf,
    and I'll pretend this never happened.
[00:14] Funa
    Keep gambling to a hobby, okay?
[00:26] Funa
    In response to an increase in heinous crimes,
[00:28] Funa
    a new movement is picking up steam in police
    and security forces around the world.

    This is the story of the services
    performed by ACTIVE in Japan.

[01:54] Funa
    Oh? Logos?
[01:57] Rin
    Some say their existence is
    just an Internet rumor.
SIGN    Every Day Is a Good Day
[02:01] Hayashi
    Let's cut to the chase.
[02:04] Hayashi
    We believe the criminal organization
    known as Logos exists.
[02:08] Rin
    And why would the star of public
    safety share that with us?
[02:11] Funa
    And under the table, at that.
[02:13] Hayashi
    I saw in a report that several
    incidents you handled
[02:19] Hayashi
    may have involved Logos. That's why.
[02:23] Hayashi
    I thought I should inform you, just in case.
[02:25] Rin
    I thought our opinions were prone to be ignored.
[02:30] Hayashi
    It's true that some don't approve of an
    experimental department voicing opinions.
[02:36] Funa
    Now, now...
[02:38] Funa
    So, Hayashida-san,
[02:39] Funa
    what's Logos after? Money, as usual?
[02:43] Hayashi
    We don't know yet.
[02:45] Rin
    This is only a hunch,
[02:47] Rin
    but it could be just to stir up mischief.
[02:50] Funa
    Mischief, eh?
[02:53] Kuro
    Are the bigwigs done yet?
[02:56] Kuro
    Uh, who're you?
[02:57] Hayashi
    So you're Kuroki-kun?
[02:59] Hayashi
    I'll take my leave now.
SIGN    Every Day Is a Good Day
[03:02] Kuro
    If you're done talking work,
    we need you two back there.
[03:05] Kuro
    Everyone's waiting.
[03:07] Funa
    Yes, yes.
SIGN    Kikyou
[03:11] Rin
    Sorry we're late!
[03:12] Asami
    We've been waiting.
[03:13] Sena
    How did the work talk go?
[03:14] Funa
    Oh, it went, I guess.
[03:16] Staff
    How may I help you?
[03:18] Haruka
    I'd like another of this pomegranate cocktail
    said to be good for female hormones!
[03:22] Asami
    Hormones?
[03:24] Asami
    She honestly needs more?
[03:26] Asami
    I'll also have more hormo—
[03:28] Asami
    I mean, pomegranate juice.
[03:30] Kuro
    Also, a pitcher of beer.
[03:32] Kuro
    Okay, cheers!
[03:34] Sena
    You're moving way too fast.
SIGN    Kikyou
[03:36] Rin
    So you're really paying this time,
    Kuroki-kun? What brought this on?
[03:41] Asami
    It's apparently to celebrate his casino win.
[03:43] Funa
    Casino?
[03:44] Sena
    The one in Special District Numazu.
[03:46] Kuro
    I wish you guys could've seen my valiant self!
[03:49] Funa
    Well, that's impressive.
[03:51] Kuro
    All hail the passing of the casino bill!
[03:54] Rin
    Actually, there was a gambler who made
    headlines a few years ago, wasn't there?
[03:59] Funa
    Bloody Mary?
[04:01] Sena
    She was called the Empress of
    Illegal Casinos, wasn't she?
[04:04] Sena
    I stopped hearing about her after
    the bill was passed, though.
[04:07] Haruka
    So she was never caught?
[04:10] Funa
    That's how it came to pass
    that I joined this division.
[04:13] AH
    Huh?
[04:14] Sena
    K-Kuroki...
[04:16] Sena
    You're acting proud, but what was
    your total windfall, anyway?
[04:19] Kuro
    About 200,000 in the red, I guess.
[04:21] Sena
    Huh?
[04:22] Staff
    Pomegranate cocktail, pomegranate juice,
    and a pitcher of beer.
[04:26] Asami
    Oh, where are Kyoukai-san and Madoka-san?
[04:29] Kuro
    I invited them, but Kyoukai-san's working late.
[04:32] Kuro
    Madoka just ignored me.
[04:34] Asami
    Ignored?
SIGN    Metropolitan Government Building Exit,
    Nihon-Oodoori Station, Yokohama
[04:38] Asami
    Target disembarked from the Minatomirai
    Line at Nihon-Oodoori Station at 19:27h,
[04:43] Asami
    then took the Metropolitan
    Government Building exit.
[04:45] Asami
    Target appears headed toward the harbor.
[04:49] Asami
    Why am I doing this?
[04:51] Rin
    Madoka-chan doesn't ignore people.
[04:53] Rin
    Maybe she just answered you really quietly?
[04:56] Kuro
    Then I wonder if it's just like
    what the Ogikubo guys said.
[05:01] Funa
    What's this about?
[05:03] Haruka
    Madoka-chan can be a little mysterious,
[05:07] Haruka
    so the Ogikubo Branch was saying
[05:09] Haruka
    that she might be a spy from Logos
[05:12] Haruka
    or some other type of government agency.
[05:15] Sena
    Of course it's just a joke, though.
[05:17] Kuro
    We're an odd bunch,
[05:18] Kuro
    so Madoka could be a spy with Internal Affairs.
[05:24] Asami
    A s-spy with Internal Affairs?
[05:26] Rin
    All right, let's look into this.
[05:30] Funa
    I suppose we have no choice.
[05:32] Rin
    Asami-chan...
[05:34] Haruka
    We're counting on you.
[05:36] Asami
    Huh?
[05:38] Asami
    19:50h. Target is walking in Yamashita Park.
[05:42] Asami
    No irregular behavior observed.
SIGN    Game Center

[05:47] Asami
    Target is playing a UFO
    catcher game at the arcade
[05:50] Asami
    near Chinatown's east gate in
    Naka Ward, Yokohama City.
[05:53] Asami
    Target acquires a stuffed animal of
    a presumably minor character.
[05:58] Asami
    21:22h.
[05:59] Asami
    Target enters Nyan Ma La,
    a Chinese restaurant in the area.
SIGN    Extra Spicy Chinese Restaurant

    "Extra Spicy"?

    Deducing entry into the

    Liver-leek stir-fry.
[06:19] Staff
    Coming right up.
[06:24] Asami
    That's odd...
[06:25] Asami
    It's already been over
    two hours since she went in.
[06:29] Staff
    Welcome.
[06:30] Asami
    Um, I'm meeting someone here.
[06:37] Asami
    She's gone?
[06:38] Asami
    That's impossible.
[06:41] Asami
    What?
[06:52] Ina
    To prevent miniaturized
    missiles from being fired...
[06:54] Rin
    Play in a casino poker match?
[06:56] Ina
    Yes. According to Tokyo Prefecture,
    that's the perp's demand.
[07:01] Ina
    The specifics are rather strange.
[07:03] Ina
    There's a math instructor named Onodera
    Ryou at Kichijouji's Touzai Cram School.
[07:08] Ina
    We're to play and win against him.
[07:11] Ina
    Anyone can play him at once, no matter how many.
[07:13] Rin
    But why us?
[07:15] Rin
    There must be others who are good at poker.
[07:18] Ina
    You know about the explosion
    in Yamashita-chou last night?
[07:21] Rin
    Oh, you mean...
[07:23] ---
    Yeah.
[07:24] Ina
    Five poker experts have already been defeated.
[07:28] Rin
    So they're saying to do whatever
    it takes to win, even cheating?
[07:31] Ina
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[07:34] Ina
    It's not that you're fraudsters.
[07:36] Ina
    You just have more leeway in
    equipment and the division...
[07:38] Rin
    Okay!
[07:40] Rin
    That'll be the official line.
[07:42] Rin
    And that's the deal.
[07:43] Kuro
    Even if it's Inagi-san asking,
[07:45] Kuro
    why not just cut right to it, and destroy
    all missiles within the prefecture?
[07:50] Kyou
    That would be difficult.
[07:52] Sena
    Huh?
[07:53] Kyou
    The missiles have a shield-machine function.
[07:57] Kyou
    They're typically buried underground.
[08:00] Kyou
    They aren't particularly strong,
[08:02] Kyou
    but it's near impossible to
    find them before launch.
[08:05] Kuro
    I see. Then I'll do it!
[08:08] Kuro
    I can do poker!
[08:08] Rin
    Yeah, denied.
[08:11] Kuro
    Huh?
[08:11] Rin
    Where's Madoka-chan, by the way?
[08:13] Kuro
    She's off duty...
[08:15] Haruka
    Oh, did you know Asami-chan actually tailed her?
[08:18] Asami
    Huh?
[08:19] Asami
    But you said to do it.
[08:20] Haruka
    It was just a joke at a drinking party.
[08:23] Asami
    What?!
[08:24] Asami
    I went all the way to Yokohama!
[08:27] Funa
    We can review that incident at a later time.
[08:30] Funa
    I'll play the poker game.
[08:32] Kyou
    You, Funasaka-san?
[08:33] Haruka
    Is this a joke?
[08:35] Funa
    I'm sorry I kept this from you for so long.
[08:37] Funa
    I may not look it,
[08:39] Funa
    but in my younger days, I nearly destroyed
    myself with drink, women, and gambling.
[08:43] KH
    Huh...
[08:45] Kuro
    Uh, but still...
[08:47] Sena
    If you almost destroyed yourself,
    doesn't that mean you're bad at it?
[08:50] Rin
    Hmm...
[08:52] Rin
    Okay. I'll let Funasaka-san handle this.
[09:06] Madoka
    Leek-liver stir-fry.
[09:13] Funa
    Onodera-san, was it?
[09:14] Ono
    Oh, y-yes.
[09:16] Funa
    Nice to meet you.
[09:16] Ono
    N-Nice to meet you, as well.
[09:20] Ono
    So, who's the one
[09:22] Ono
    who keeps sending players to me?
[09:25] Funa
    As I suspected, this man doesn't
    seem to know anything.
[09:29] Haruka
    How may I help you?
[09:32] Funa
    Vodka martini.
[09:34] Funa
    Shaken, not stirred.
[09:35] Haruka
    Certainly, sir.
[09:38] Asami
    Sh-She's got the whole act down.
[09:41] Kyou
    It just might turn out to be a square match.
[09:56] Funa
    Check.
[09:57] Ono
    O-Okay. 200.
[09:59] Funa
    Call.
[10:06] Asami
    Um, I have no idea what the rules are.
[10:10] Rin
    Kyoukai-kun...
[10:11] Kyou
    On it.
[10:12] Kyou
    I sent the rule data over.
[10:15] Asami
    Th-Thank you.
[10:19] Ono
    O-Okay, 500.
[10:22] Funa
    Having two queens is giving him confidence.
[10:25] Funa
    Call.
[10:28] Ono
    1,000.
[10:29] Funa
    At the least, he has a two pair,
    sevens and queens.
[10:33] Funa
    He could have a full house, but...
[10:37] Funa
    Call.
[10:38] Dealer
    Showdown, please.
[10:42] Ono
    T-Two pair, queens and sevens.

[11:05] Old
    Want to join us?
[11:06] Old
    We won't lose today. It's time for payback.
[11:10] Old
    These days, not too many people
[11:12] Old
    understand the true nature of gambling like you.
[11:15] Old
    Who would've thought that
[11:17] Old
    legalizing gambling would
    change so many things?
[11:20] Old
    Yeah, all those special arenas
    and Internet streams...
[11:26] Old
    Even the guy who used to hunt us
    enjoys safe, legal gambling now.
[11:31] Madoka
    Hunt you?
[11:32] Old
    Yeah, although he was a loser
    who failed in his investigation.
[11:37] Old
    He lost again.
[11:38] Old
    Guess he only won the first round.
[11:42] Old
    What's wrong?
[11:47] Old
    Guess we won't be seeing her card-handling today.
[11:51] Old
    Yeah, her skills remind me of those
    of that legendary female gambler.
[11:56] Old
    She was only active for a year,
[11:59] Old
    wore a china dress, and hid her face.
[12:02] Old
    She must've only been a teen back then.
[12:04] Old
    I wonder what Bloody Mary's up to these days.
[12:14] Ono
    Straight.
[12:16] Funa
    Th-This man's good at his game.
[12:19] Funa
    He was hesitant at first,
[12:21] Funa
    but he gradually grew expressionless.
[12:23] Funa
    He might as well be wearing a death mask now.

[12:49] Haruka
    Hello!
[12:50] Haruka
    Would you like anything to drink?

    No, thank you.

    We have the data.

    They're above normal values.

    Wh-What the...
[13:20] Rin
    Impossible.
[13:21] Asami
    I'm getting alternating normal
    and abnormal readings!
[13:24] Sena
    Could he be...
[13:27] Ono
    Your tricks are a waste of time.
[13:30] Ono
    I can fool a polygraph with ease.
[13:36] Funa
    I... I lost.
[13:38] Ono
    This won't do.
[13:39] Ono
    I need you to try a little longer.
[13:42] Ono
    If you don't, another missile will go flying.
[13:47] Sena
    How did he know about the missiles?
[13:49] Rin
    Wait, so he's...
[13:54] Funa
    You're the one who came up
    with this death game?!
[13:57] Ono
    What choice did I have?
[13:59] Ono
    It's the casino's fault for blacklisting
    me out of fear due to my skills.
[14:03] Haruka
    But how did you get the missiles?!
[14:05] Ono
    I got them from people
    who call themselves "Logos."
[14:08] Kyou
    Logos!
[14:10] Sena
    He didn't even bother hiding the name.
[14:12] Ono
    There should be a couple more missiles.
[14:15] Ono
    Logos is supposed to decide when to launch them.
[14:19] Ono
    But if I lose, the missiles won't be launched.
[14:23] Ono
    So let's try a little longer.
[14:25] Ono
    You can try any trick you have up your sleeve.
[14:29] Kuro
    Then, for starters, we'll swap out players!
[14:32] Ono
    Sure. I don't mind.
[14:35] Kuro
    Oh, and there's someone here
    who wants to speak with you.
[14:39] Kuro
    Switch on. File number fox trot.
[14:44] Ono
    Well, well...
[14:46] Asami
    Wh-Who's that?
[14:47] Rin
    Onodera's mother.
[14:49] Kyou
    I'm surprised you managed a connection with her.
[14:51] Rin
    It's fake.
[14:52] Rin
    Fortunately, even her audio data was
    available on social networking sites.
[14:57] Rin
    Listen to me, Ryou.
[14:59] Holo
    Listen to me, Ryou.
[15:01] Holo
    Please stop causing trouble!

    I don't remember raising you to be this way.
[15:08] Holo
    Remember when you were little?
[15:12] Holo
    How I'd—
[15:13] Ono
    Sorry.
[15:14] Ono
    My mom was a drunken loser with a wandering eye.
[15:18] Ono
    She's the one who drilled me in poker, too.
[15:22] Ono
    By her command, I honed my
    skills to earn our keep.
[15:28] Ono
    Full house.
[15:30] Kuro
    I lost in an instant?
[15:33] Ono
    I'm prepared to get caught.
[15:36] Ono
    If I have to live another dull day,
    I'd rather have one last match.
[15:40] Ono
    That'd be enough for me.
[15:41] Ono
    I've had enough.
[15:44] Sena
    Pull yourself together!
    You're just getting started!
[15:47] Kuro
    It's no use! We're in trouble!
[15:49] Kuro
    If I lose, a missile will be launched.
[15:51] Kuro
    Being 200,000 in the red is
    my personal responsibility,
[15:54] Kuro
    but missile damage?!
[15:56] Sena
    This is a rare case of accurate
    self-introspection, but...
[15:59] Asami
    Now isn't the time to be impressed by that!
[16:01] Kyou
    What now?
[16:03] Kyou
    No one can win against a guy like him.
[16:07] Ono
    Oh? That's all?
[16:10] Ono
    Are you sure? A city's going to go up in flames.
[16:13] Ono
    I wonder what Logos will target.
[16:15] Ono
    I can't wait to find out.
[16:17] Mutos
    Let's see how far the police can track Logos...
[16:21] Mutos
    Hmm?
SIGN    This is boring, YO. Let's fire the missile! lol
[16:23] Mutos
    Dog...

    Like I said, our goal isn't to hurt people.

    What's the missile targ— Huh?
[16:33] Kuro
    What? Aren't you off duty?
[16:36] Madoka
    I'll play him.
[16:37] All
    What?!
[16:39] Haruka
    You know how to play poker?
[16:47] Old
    Oh, the livecast...
[16:49] Bar
    Wait just a moment. I'll try this circuit...
[16:53] Old
    Oh, look. It's the girl.
[16:56] Madoka
    Straight.
[16:58] Madoka
    That's a win, right?
[17:00] Haruka
    Madoka-chan won?
[17:03] Funa
    But that's just one round.
[17:05] Madoka
    Flush.
[17:06] Ono
    Full house.
[17:07] Madoka
    Four of a kind.
[17:08] Ono
    Straight flush.
[17:10] Haruka
    She's his equal...
[17:12] Haruka
    And both are equally impassive.
[17:14] Haruka
    It's like two dead people
    playing against each other.
[17:17] Old
    Not good. She lacks her usual flair.
[17:20] Old
    Is she too distracted by the audience?
[17:22] Ono
    Full house.
[17:24] Ono
    Two pair.
[17:25] Ono
    Flush.
[17:26] Sena
    Crap! She's falling behind!
[17:28] Rin
    Asami-chan, access the dealer robot's controls.
[17:32] Rin
    We'll control the cards that are dealt.
[17:34] Asami
    I can't.
[17:36] Asami
    That robot has an anti-fraud function,
[17:38] Asami
    AKA a conscience circuit.
[17:41] Asami
    Any external tampering, and it'll freeze.
[17:44] Rin
    Damn Community Safety Division...
    No one asked for that!
[17:53] Madoka
    Time out.
[17:54] Ono
    Very well.
[17:56] Ono
    Only fifteen minutes, though.
[17:57] Funa
    Madoka-kun?
[17:59] Rin
    Sena-kun, ready the Wear.
[18:01] Sena
    Understood.
[18:03] Sena
    What's the projected missile target?
[18:08] Ono
    Fifteen minutes.
[18:10] Ono
    I guess I win.
[18:11] Madoka
    No, you lose.
[18:22] Funa
    M-Madoka-kun...
[18:24] Funa
    You... You're...
[18:26] Old
    Bloody Mary.
[18:28] Old
    You know you're about to lose
    your place in society?
[18:31] Kyou
    Madoka-san's...
[18:32] Rin
    ...the legendary...
[18:34] Asami
    ...gambler?!
[18:36] Ono
    I had no idea Bloody Mary was so young.
[18:39] Ono
    You have my respect.
[18:41] Ono
    That is, if you're really her.
[18:44] Madoka
    Straight.
[18:46] Ono
    Flush.
[18:51] Haruka
    Another draw?
[18:52] Funa
    No, we're moving toward a conclusion.
[18:55] Kuro
    Yeah. This is a big game.
SIGN    Verifying

    Approved
[19:11] Kyou
    I hope our predictions are correct with
    regard to the missile launch site.
[19:18] Kuro
    This is it. This hand will decide it.
[19:21] Ono
    Could it be a straight flush?
[19:24] Ono
    No, the possibility of that is low.
[19:26] Ono
    Maybe a flush?
[19:27] Ono
    If it's just a straight, I win, but...
[19:40] Doc
    Why are they just staring at each other?
[19:43] Doc
    Maybe I'll heat things up.
[19:47] Mutos
    Dog!
[19:48] Asami
    Thermal signature detected...
[19:50] Asami
    Crap, the missile's been launched!
[19:52] Rin
    What's the launch point?
[19:53] Asami
    Candidate two, Azabu Juuban.
SIGN    Haneda Airport Azabu Juuban
[19:55] Asami
    It's flying southwest.
[19:57] Rin
    Oscar I.
[19:58] Sena
    I'll give it a shot.
[20:02] Asami
    Twenty-five seconds until impact!
[20:04] Asami
    No, it won't be in time!
[20:07] Sena
    Request deactivation of sublimation function.
[20:09] Rin
    Permission granted!
[20:13] Ono
    I see it now...
[20:14] Ono
    Your poker face has a slight flaw.
[20:18] Ono
    When you bluff, your eyes
    twitch ever so slightly.
[20:21] Ono
    That's right, this is a bluff.
[20:24] Ono
    All in!
[20:25] Madoka
    Call.
[20:26] Dealer
    Showdown, please.
[20:29] Ono
    Full house.
[20:31] Ono
    I win.
[20:36] Sena
    Type 21 charged-particle launcher, fire!
[20:42] Madoka
    You don't deserve to gamble.
[20:46] Madoka
    You're just a corpse that drowned in gambling,
[20:49] Madoka
    a drifter in the darkness.
[20:52] Madoka
    The true pleasure of gambling
[20:54] Madoka
    is to leave it and return to the light of day.
[20:58] Ono
    Say what you will, loser.
[21:02] Madoka
    Straight...
[21:04] Madoka
    flush.
[21:10] Madoka
    I win.
[21:13] Madoka
    Also, this...
[21:15] Madoka
    was deliberate.
[21:21] Ono
    I... lost?
[21:26] Madoka
    The end of one game
[21:28] Madoka
    is the beginning of another.
[21:31] Madoka
    Let's meet again.
[21:35] Haruka
    Um, would you like anything
    to drink, Madoka-san?
[21:38] Madoka
    Pomegranate hoppy.
[21:39] Asami
    Oh, for female hormones? Okay.
[21:41] Funa
    What would you like to eat?
[21:43] Madoka
    Liver-leek stir-fry... Oh.
[21:45] Haruka
    Liver-leek stir-fry!
[21:46] Staff
    We don't have anything like that.
[21:48] Kuro
    Pretty please?
[21:51] Madoka
    Um, Funasaka-san, I...
[21:53] Funa
    Hmm?
[21:55] Madoka
    I really didn't recognize you until then...
[21:57] ---
    Um...
[21:58] Funa
    What are you talking about?
[22:00] Rin
    You rushed over while off-duty
    to help your teammates.
[22:03] Rin
    What's so bad about that?
[22:05] Kyou
    A little cosplay won't get you arrested.
[22:08] Funa
    But if I were to say anything...
[22:11] Madoka
    Yes?
[22:11] Funa
    Moderation is key with any hobby.
[22:14] Funa
    For your younger siblings' sakes, as well.
[22:17] Madoka
    Right!
