[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. [00:34] ---     This is the story of the services     performed by ACTIVE in Japan. SIGN    File 5: Poker Face of Erasure [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 [05:45] Asami     20:35h. [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     Nyan Ma La [06:08] Asami     "Extra Spicy"? [06:10] Asami     Deducing entry into the     restaurant to be dangerous. [06:12] Asami     Standing by outside. [06:18] Madoka     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. [10:46] Funa     Three of a kind.

[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.

[12:57] Asami     Heart rate, breath rate, and     perspiration levels are all elevated. [13:00] Asami     They're above normal values. [13:02] Rin     He's lying. [13:03] Rin     Funasaka-san, he's bluffing. [13:07] Funa     Call. [13:08] Funa     All in. [13:09] Dealer     Showdown, please. [13:12] Funa     Three of a kind. [13:15] Ono     Straight. [13:16] Funa     Huh? [13:18] Funa     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! [15:05] Holo     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.

[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?

[18:36] 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.

SIGN    Verifying [19:02] [SONG] Sign 1903     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!
