[00:12] K     Does he really have to get mad,     just because I put my underwear [00:15] K     on top of that weird fish-animal? [00:18] K     I figured it would be rude to put     them on the desk or the chair! [00:22] K     It's... [00:24] R     It's? [00:31] K     A giant monster... [00:32] R     That's a hologram... Right? [00:34] S     If it were real, everyone would be screaming. [00:36] R     Is it an ad for something? [00:50] S     The way it just moved... [01:05] S     Uh, what is that an ad for? [01:08] R     You're an idiot sometimes,     aren't you, Kuroki-kun? [01:19] Intro     In the future, [01:21] Intro     when something happens beyond     the normal police's capacity, [01:24] Intro     they turn to the power of the ACTIVE project. [01:28] Intro     This is the story of Japan's ACTIVE,     the Third Mobile Assault Unit. SIGN    File 6: Rudra Strikes Back [02:51] Gu     I'm in front of the old Shinjuku city hall,     where an explosion occurred yesterday. [02:56] Gu     Police say what happened last night was     a combination of audio equipment, SIGN    Unit 8 [03:00] Gu     several dozen 3-D projectors,     as well as explosive devices. [03:04] Gu     No one's claimed credit,     and the goal is unknown. [03:07] Gu     The old city hall was already being dismantled, [03:07] E     It's amazing, no matter how     many times I see it. [03:10] E     Giant monsters are one of Japan's     biggest contributions [03:10] Gu     so miraculously, no one was injured. [03:13] E     to world culture. [03:14] M     You're very knowledgeable, Emilia-chan. [03:16] F     All right, goodbye. [03:18] F     Boss, [03:19] F     the Shinjuku PS is requesting     aid for its investigation. [03:23] F     Witnesses report that a Willwear     assembled the projectors. [03:27] R     All right. [03:28] R     After something this big, we need     to arrest the responsible parties! [03:32] F     No, that's impossible. [03:35] F     The crime's prime suspect is already dead,     according to the Shinjuku PS. [03:40] R     They know who it was? [03:41] F     So it seems. [03:43] S     Is the man behind it— [03:45] R     Huh? Was today trash day? [03:47] S     No. Funasaka-san... [03:49] F     Yes? [03:50] S     Was the prime suspect [03:52] S     the movie director Kadoyama Hiromitsu? [03:55] F     Oh? How did you know? [03:57] S     The Kadoyama Growl. [03:59] Gu     Kadoyama Growl? [04:01] S     When the monster roared, it moved     in a very unique way, right? [04:05] M     Oh, you mean this? [04:07] S     These motions are something [04:09] S     Director Kadoyama incorporated from kabuki. [04:12] K     Are you a giant monster fan? [04:15] S     I don't know much about them. [04:17] S     I just know a bit about Director Kadoyama. [04:21] E     That's right... [04:22] E     Hiromitsu Kadoyama was the last     maestro of giant monster movies [04:26] E     of the Heisei period. [04:29] S     I am certain [04:30] S     that Director Kadoyama created that hologram. [04:33] S     But his being behind this must be some mistake. [04:37] F     But the police were sent production     notes by Director Kadoyama [04:41] F     that could be interpreted as a claim of credit. [04:44] F     The delivery date was set in advance. [04:46] R     So he shipped them before he died? [04:48] R     What did the notes say? [04:50] F     "Rudra, the giant monster, will burn     the land of my revenge to ash." [04:55] M     That's pretty nuts. [04:58] S     No, it must be some mistake! [05:00] F     But he was arrested before his death. [05:06] S     Chief, may I get permission to     cooperate with the investigation? [05:10] R     As a civilian? [05:12] R     What do we do in these cases, again? [05:13] K     The law's been changed, so it's no problem. [05:16] H     That's right. [05:18] H     If we want to be sure,     we should also send Emilia-chan. [05:21] H     We'll say it's part of her training. SIGN    Kadoyama [05:25] Gu     Kadoyama-san lived alone and had no relatives. [05:28] Gu     We just started the paperwork to turn     this house over to the government. [05:33] Gu     He wasn't the kind of guy to... [05:35] K     No, that's what we're looking into. [05:38] K     Was there anything different [05:39] K     or strange about him? [05:42] Gu     Let me see... [05:44] E     Sena-san, I found a work contract. [05:44] Background     He was very active just before his death. [05:47] E     It's for a New Zealand CG studio. [05:48] ---     I can't say much about his     activities outside, though... [05:50] E     And then a German... [05:51] S     3-D projection mapping? [05:52] ---     What do you mean by "outside"? [05:54] E     He paid for the whole amount himself [05:54] ---     Well, his work, I suppose. [05:56] ---     He was away from the house all the time. [05:56] E     to make several minutes of footage. [05:59] ---     He didn't seem to me like the kind     of guy that people would dislike... SIGN    Project R [06:01] E     Project R? [06:04] ---     Still, this house has quite an old-fashioned     design... Or maybe I should say "retro." [06:04] E     Looks like a scenario document. [06:09] ---     Yes... SIGN    Great Monster          Rudra [06:12] S     "Great Monster Rudra." [06:14] S     Before his death, [06:16] S     Director Kadoyama was dealing with     former Minister of Economics Mouri Takerou. [06:22] S     He wanted him to fund a movie project. [06:25] H     Come to think of it, [06:26] H     the Economics Ministry just     started a support program... SIGN    Kadoyama Hiromitsu [06:29] S     It was a typical government     project in the same vein [06:32] S     as the Cool Japan program decades     ago, which sought to make [06:35] S     Japan's "coolness" known overseas. [06:37] E     But many individuals and companies     applied, and no one was approved. [06:42] E     The only one awarded funding was [06:44] E     a projection-mapping project     to support restorations, [06:47] E     run by a company associated     with Minister Mouri. [06:50] H     The project they tried after Orochi was fixed? [06:53] H     I heard that didn't go so well. [06:55] S     It seems that two-thirds of the money     went back into his pockets. [06:59] K     That happens a lot, but it's still horrible. SIGN    Kadoyama Hiromitsu [07:02] S     A year before his death, Kadoyama-san [07:04] S     was told that he had six months to live. [07:07] S     He planned for this to be his     last, and greatest, work. [07:11] S     But Minister Mouri's treatment     of him was terrible. SIGN    Minister of Economics and Industry [07:14] Gu     At least read it. [07:17] Gu     It's a giant monster movie, but not     like any that have been made before. [07:20] Gu     It's a new— [07:21] Gu     I told you already, [07:23] Gu     we can't trust a freelancer. [07:26] Gu     Make your request through this company. [07:30] Gu     Please, Mouri-san... [07:32] Gu     You yelled at the company I introduced you to. [07:36] Gu     But they wanted sixty percent of the budget [07:39] Gu     for their own profit. That's crazy. [07:41] Gu     It's not crazy! [07:43] Gu     Every company wants to make a profit. [07:46] Gu     You're not taking that budget for yourself— [07:48] Gu     Leave! You're wasting my time! [07:52] Gu     Mouri-san, what's wrong with it? [07:55] Gu     I got a trustworthy company to support me. [07:58] Gu     I will decide whether [08:00] Gu     it's trustworthy or not, fool. [08:02] Gu     That's the problem with people into sci-fi and— [08:05] Gu     What did you say, you ass?! [08:06] Gu     Got a problem, old man? [08:07] Gu     Arrest him! Arrest him! [08:09] Gu     Stop! [08:10] Gu     Let me go! [08:11] Gu     Mouri! [08:15] Gu     In the end, not only was his request denied, [08:18] Gu     but the basic idea was stolen and used     for a restoration-support event. [08:23] H     So it was ripped off?! SIGN    Project R [08:25] S     The idea was. [08:26] S     The actual event was garbage. [08:28] S     He said in his diary that it made him angry. [08:31] M     Was that his motive? [08:32] M     Revenge on Tokyo for stealing his work? [08:35] H     Then he'd target the former minister directly. [08:38] M     That's true... SIGN    Professor: The real destruction is yet to come. [08:41] E     "The real destruction is yet to come." [08:46] E     In the scenario that Director     Kadoyama wrote himself, [08:49] E     a biologist looks at the destroyed     city hall and says this: [08:54] E     "The real destruction is yet to come. [08:57] E     A destruction sufficient to crush a great city." [09:00] E     And three days later,     this is what the scenario says. [09:04] E     "Commander! Rudra appeared again!" [09:07] M     Where? [09:08] H     Where? [09:09] E     The data in the scenario ends there. [09:13] K     It ends? SIGN    Soldier: Commander! Commander: Where?! Continued in Other File [09:14] E     It seems he kept the climax     in another, top-secret file. [09:19] Gu     If his real revenge is just about to begin... [09:23] F     Bad news, everyone. [09:26] R     What is it, Funasaka-san? [09:28] F     We've found where the explosives     at the old city hall came from. [09:33] F     The brand name is "Image Master." [09:35] Gu     Those got into Japan?! [09:37] F     I'm told the mafia smuggled them in [09:39] F     and hid them in an abandoned building     in the quicksand district. [09:42] K     So they were stolen? [09:44] F     Yes, last month. [09:46] F     And the real problem is the amount. [09:48] F     The last explosion used 0.2 tons. [09:52] F     But 400 tons were stolen! [09:55] R     Two thousand times the last one? [09:56] Gu     If they were all used... [09:59] S     Tokyo would be annihilated. [10:03] K     Let's go talk to the film crew! [10:05] K     There might be a hint to the next location! [10:07] E     Impossible. [10:07] K     Why? [10:08] E     If this follows the scenario, the real     explosion takes place in two days. [10:12] E     We can't reach the staff scattered     around the world that quickly. [10:17] R     Assuming he's out for revenge, [10:19] R     we can check places associated     with Mouri Takerou, [10:21] R     like his hometown or election district. [10:26] S     Nagoya! [10:27] S     He said he was going home     to prepare for the next election. [10:31] R     Asami-chan is already in Nagoya, [10:33] R     looking for projectors and explosives. [10:35] R     If she finds anything, she'll call us at once. SIGN    Kazari Asami [10:39] A     This is Unit 9, Oscar VI. [10:41] Gu     That was fast! [10:42] A     I've engaged an unidentified     Willwear in combat. [10:45] K     There really was someone behind this! [10:46] R     Oscar VI, can you send video? [10:48] A     I'll try. [10:51] K     That's the one from the suicide bombing! [10:53] H     What is that? It's disgusting! [10:56] F     The person inside is way too flexible. [10:59] K     Be careful, Oscar VI! [11:01] K     He's tough! [11:02] A     No problem. [11:03] A     Fingers! [11:04] All     Yes, Brain! [11:06] A     You're under arrest! [11:07] Gu     You're under arrest! [11:12] A     Judgment of Justice! [11:14] A     Perfect Charge: Digamma! [11:21] E     Didn't she just hit her own subordinates, too? [11:25] K     Poor guys. [11:26] Gu     Kyoukai-kun, are you there? [11:28] Gu     What is it, Kyoukai-sama? [11:30] Gu     Something about the Willwear was     bothering me, so I looked into it. [11:35] Gu     And I was right. [11:38] R     A robot? [11:39] K     That explains it! [11:41] Gu     I think this [11:42] Gu     might have been developed     by the Carupanuba Junta. [11:45] Gu     Yes... [11:46] Gu     It's entered the production stage, hasn't it? [11:50] Gu     Kyoukai-sama! [11:54] A     Don't worry. [11:55] A     All our members are safe. [11:57] A     And we also found a trailer that contained     a fog machine and 3-D projectors. [12:04] A     But it caught fire and burned     before we could secure it. [12:06] K     They covered up the evidence? [12:08] K     Probably. [12:09] K     Great, what do we do now? [12:12] R     I'll leave you to decide. [12:14] K     Roger. [12:16] R     We'll have them keep     searching Aichi Prefecture. [12:20] R     For now, Sena-kun... [12:21] S     Yes? [12:22] R     Tell me where to find the best     restaurants in Nagoya! [12:25] ---     Huh? [12:26] H     Because... [12:27] F     We're almost at Nagoya. [12:37] Gi     Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [12:39] Gi     Eat this so you can work     your aes off tomorrow, [12:42] Gi**     you scumwad dks! [12:44] All**     Thank you, ma'am! [12:46] S     I'm sorry, everyone. [12:48] S     I asked her, and she said     to have you eat here. [12:50] F     But you have both doteni and Ise udon. [12:53] F     That's plenty. [12:54] E     I wish Unit 9 could have joined us... [12:58] K     Even if it was to solve the case, [13:00] K     they let everything get way out of hand. [13:03] S     More letters of apology? [13:04] F     Still, it's just like you to prioritize     the hiring of immigrants. [13:09] S     No, that's not what I'm doing at all. [13:11] H     You're so humble! [13:13] Gu     Stop sitting around, CEO Bnerface! [13:17] All     Yes, ma'am! [13:18] All     Scumbags! [13:20] ---     Glry h*le! [13:23] S     But I'm glad we managed to stop Rudra     from causing problems here. [13:27] M     It's rare for you to be so attached to something. [13:31] S     I may be the person I am [13:33] S     because of Kadoyama-san. [13:36] M     What happened? [13:37] S     Right after I joined the force, [13:39] S     I was in Division 5's anti-gang task force. [13:41] K     What, you're proud of that? [13:44] S     I went after the son of a certain     powerful figure too hard, [13:48] S     so they pulled strings to get me transferred. [13:52] S     I was sent to Unit 8. [13:54] R     Yeah, I heard the stories. [13:56] S     I'm sorry to say this,     but I was sulking over that. [14:00] S     And then, [14:01] S     I happened to visit Kadoyama-san's     studio during an investigation. [14:06] Gu     Oh, you're the detective who's     here over the drug case? [14:11] S     I'm sorry. [14:13] S     We're aware this place has nothing to do     with the case, but I must be sure. SIGN    Fragile          Don't Touch [14:18] Gu     It's fine. [14:19] S     These buildings are so well-made, though. [14:23] S     And this, too. [14:24] Gu     Do you know what they're made from? [14:27] S     Plaster or something? [14:29] Gu     They're actually wafers from a     place called Altea, in Setogaya. [14:34] S     Wafers? [14:35] Gu     Yes, the candy. [14:37] Gu     We tried many different things, [14:40] Gu     and these break the best. [14:42] ---     Oh... [14:43] Gu     Are you disappointed that we use     something so old-fashioned? [14:46] S     Oh, no. [14:47] Gu     Director, the set's finished. [14:49] Gu     Watch if you like. [14:51] S     Okay. SIGN    Kadoyama Team [14:52] Gu     Ready... Action! [14:54] Gu     Rolling! [15:04] Gu     And cut! [15:05] Gu     Cut! [15:05] ---     Cut! [15:06] Gu     Douse the fires! [15:07] K     I was amazed at how much punch it had. [15:10] Gu     They tell me that these days, it's old-fashioned. [15:14] S     Then, why? [15:15] Gu     I went to see a movie by one     of the younger generation. [15:19] Gu     The kids there seemed strangely disinterested. [15:23] Gu     The CG people had worked really hard, [15:26] Gu     but the kids didn't care. [15:28] Gu     So I asked if they didn't like it. [15:32] Gu     And one of the kids said that it looked cheap. [15:37] Gu     I thought they'd worked hard, [15:39] Gu     but even if I cared, the customers didn't. [15:43] Gu     Yes... [15:43] Gu     You can't just try to satisfy yourself. [15:46] Gu     So I made my decision. [15:49] Gu     If I don't have any money, [15:50] Gu     I'd rather use old-fashioned special     effects than some lousy CG. [15:55] S     I understand. [15:56] Gu     The old ways have their own advantages. [15:59] Gu     I believe that if you don't cut corners,     the audience can tell how you feel. [16:02] S     How you feel? [16:06] S     If you sulk, you lose. [16:08] S     The world's full of things that aren't fair. [16:11] S     But that doesn't mean you can     shut down, or that it's over for you. [16:15] S     I'll be 74 this year, [16:17] S     and I want to make a movie that combines     CG and old-fashioned special effects. [16:21] S     Please do. Make something amazing. [16:24] Gu     I will! Something that'll amaze everyone! [16:31] S     That's what helped me get over everything     and accept the transfer to Section 8. [16:35] K     You quit in the end, though. [16:36] S     That's all right because I'm     satisfied with my life. [16:39] M     Now, now... [16:40] S     So I owe Kadoyama-san a lot. [16:42] R     Why would such a good person do this? [16:44] S     No. [16:46] S     I think someone is using him. [16:50] S     If you sulk, you lose. [16:52] S     If you stop just because things     aren't fair, it's all over, he said. [16:55] S     He wouldn't... [16:57] S     I want to apprehend whoever is     doing this, and learn the truth. [17:01] S     So that I can keep believing in     the man who kept me going. [17:05] F     Thanks. [17:06] F     No explosives were found in     Minister Mouri's hometown. [17:11] R     Then Nagoya wasn't the target? [17:13] E     There is a chance you're right. [17:16] E     I found a video taken before     Director Kadoyama's death. [17:20] Gu     Skyscrapers these days [17:22] Gu     don't really work with giant monsters. [17:24] Gu     They're too tall. [17:26] E     Would someone like that [17:27] E     choose the area in front of Nagoya     Station for a giant monster attack? [17:33] M     It's true, you wouldn't be able     to see the monster at all. [17:37] E     So I looked into it, [17:38] E     and Minister Mouri was born in Nagoya, [17:41] E     but grew up mostly in Bunkyou Ward. [17:43] E     He only ran from Nagoya for     internal political reasons. [17:47] E     Isn't Bunkyou Ward... [17:49] R     Yes, a priority redevelopment area. [17:52] F     Many small-story buildings in that area [17:54] F     are perfect for a monster attack. [17:56] K     So this was a decoy? [17:59] R     We're heading back to Tokyo. [18:01] R     Everyone, get ready! [18:02] All     Right! [18:07] H     They found explosives in the ward. [18:10] H     But only some of them. [18:13] H     The evacuation's complete in     a one-kilometer radius. SIGN    Let's Bring in the Showa Special Ward          Oppose the City Plan! [18:16] Gu     If Image Master bombs are used, SIGN    Governor Inagi Must Resign!! [18:19] Gu     we'll need more than that. [18:21] R     Someone has to get there first... and... [18:25] R     Kuroki-kun! [18:26] E     He can't go. That would be drunk Willwearing. [18:29] F     He was drinking at a fast pace... [18:32] S     If they're following the scenario,     Rudra will appear at midnight. [18:36] S     Kyoukai-san, any options for us? [18:38] Gu     If we fill the sky with chaff, we might     be able to stop the detonation. [18:41] S     But where can we get all that chaff? [18:44] Gu     The Unified SDF should keep a stock [18:46] Gu     at the Fuchuuhon-machi factory. [18:49] S     The Unified SDF... [18:50] Gi     He blew off our meeting two     and a half months ago! [18:53] F     Yes. [18:54] F     I understand how you feel. [18:57] Gi     He answers my messages at a 4.3% rate. [19:01] F     I am very sorry. [19:03] Gi     He went to Nagoya without even telling me. [19:05] Gi     And if he hates the USDF so much, he shouldn't be asking for help! [19:09] F     You are absolutely right, yes. [19:12] F     But we need your help to protect     the lives of our citizens! [19:17] Gi     I understand. [19:18] F     Thank you! [19:20] Gi     Funasaka-san, could you give a     message to Souichirou for me? [19:23] F     Ah, of course. [19:25] Gi     Tell him this will cost him. [19:45] Gu     Rudra has appeared in Bunkyou Ward. [19:47] Gi     Where's Oscar I? SIGN    Nagoya [19:48] Gu     Maintaining planned altitude and speed. [19:51] Gi     Roger. [19:52] Gi     Let's get ready, too. [19:56] S     I won't let you [19:57] S     use Kadoyama-san's Rudra for this anymore. [20:01] Gu     Ultra-long-range sniper rifle [20:03] Gu     Shiden Seisou Custom ready to launch! [20:06] Gi     Launch! [20:08] Gi     Souichirou, [20:10] Gi     I look forward to your thanking me. [20:14] S     There it is. [20:17] S     Oscar I, I'm sending data on the firing point. [20:20] S     The flight structure is unstable, [20:22] S     so be careful when you use it. [20:24] S     Roger! [20:29] Gi     We're above Bunkyou Ward. [20:30] Gi     The monster has appeared again. [20:32] Gi     Police say that evacuation is complete. [20:39] H     It's firing its beam! [20:41] R     Oscar I! [20:41] S     Kadoyama-san... [20:49] Gi     Rudra has fired its beam! [20:51] Gi     The city has turned into a sea of flame! [20:55] Gi     Or... it hasn't? [20:59] Gi     It's Unit 8! [21:00] Gi     Unit 8 did it! [21:02] Gi     Our sources tell us they've deployed [21:05] Gi     a jamming material, which stopped     the remote detonation. [21:09] Gi     Which means... [21:10] Gi     My broadcast cut out? [21:13] Gi     If that's the case, I'm sorry, everyone! [21:19] S     I'm glad Rudra didn't have to destroy the city. [21:23] S     Kadoyama-san, everyone will     know how you felt— [21:29] S     You! [21:36] S     H-How? [21:41] S     Wired detonators? [21:42] K     Yeah. [21:43] K     We discovered them from the recovered     explosives and Willwear. [21:46] S     I see. [21:47] K     And at the police conference     today, it was decided that [21:51] K     your savior, Kadoyama-san, wasn't involved. [21:54] K     They said his footage was probably just used. [21:58] K     Jirou says there's a chance he's involved. [22:02] S     Hachijou? [22:03] K     Yeah. [22:04] K     He probably used Kadoyama-san's     work for his games. [22:09] S     Games? [22:10] S     Then I will never forgive him! [22:13] S     I will catch him! [22:18] Gu     I never thought [22:20] Gu     I'd be able to play a game in this country.
