    Yeah, good idea.

    Yeah!

SIGN    Unit 8
[00:20] K
    So the Ueno incident
[00:21] K
    involved the same Willwear as the
    ones in Akasaka and Ochanomizu?
[00:25] F
    Yes.
[00:26] F
    The footprints and damage
    caused by strikes are the same.
[00:28] R
    A few minutes before,
[00:30] R
    security cameras near the scene
    recorded this footage.
[00:35] M
    It disappeared?
[00:36] H
    Optical camouflage?
[00:38] H
    Huh? Is that available for civilian use?
[00:40] Gu
    The base is an Aoki
    Electrical Industries XP5540.
[00:44] Gu
    It's available as an option.
[00:47] E
    Forensics analyzed footprints believed
    to belong to the Willwear
[00:51] E
    and found microscopic organisms.
[00:53] F
    These organisms are only found
    in a few locations in the city.
[00:59] K
    Where?
[01:01] F
    Here, in the quicksand zone.
[01:03] S
    That's... the Yamanote Immigrant District?
[01:06] M
    Which means the criminal is...
[01:08] S
    Would an illegal immigrant
    really own a Willwear?
[01:12] K
    So the suspect either deals with industrial
    waste or is taking advantage of the chaos?
[01:17] R
    On that note, we have a spy job for you!
[01:20] S
    Huh? For me?
[01:22] R
    Sorry, but given the location,
    we couldn't get permission...
[01:30] Intro
    In the future,
[01:31] Intro
    when something happens beyond
    the normal police's capacity,
[01:35] Intro
    they turn to the power of the ACTIVE project.
[01:40] Intro
    This is the story of Japan's ACTIVE,
    the Third Mobile Assault Unit.

[03:03] S
    Are you sure
[03:04] S
    you should be following me,
    when Unit 8 hasn't received permission?
[03:07] H
    I have the afternoon off.
[03:10] H
    If I follow you in my free time,
    that's no one's business.
[03:12] ---
    But...
[03:13] H
    Funasaka-san wants us to take turns
    backing you up every day.
[03:18] S
    I see.
[03:22] ---
    Whoops...
[03:24] H
    There's still this much trash?
[03:26] S
    It's partly politics.
[03:28] S
    But many immigrants, both
    legal and illegal, moved in
[03:32] S
    before the government
    had decided on a policy.
[03:35] S
    It's a gray zone now, out of everyone's reach.
[03:45] H
    What's that?
[03:51] H
    They're made of empty cans.
[03:53] H
    That's a lot of work, for a place like this.
[04:02] S
    Are you the one who cleaned up this area?
[04:16] S
    I wasn't going to steal it...
[04:19] S
    I see.
[04:20] S
    You don't understand me.
[04:22] Gu
    I speak the language.
[04:24] Gu
    Just don't butt in.
[04:26] H
    Um, we had some questions...
[04:40] K
    They have their own lives down here, huh?
[04:46] Gu
    You don't work for the city government of Tokyo.
[04:49] Gu
    Who said you could take this trash?
[04:53] S
    What are your demands?
[04:56] Gu
    Our conditions are simple.
[04:57] Gu
    Hand over anything you find that's worth money.
[05:01] Gu
    And from now on, if you take
    anything, go through us.
[05:04] K
    Hey! You're going to properly dispose of it, right?
[05:08] Gu
    Who the hell are you?!
[05:09] Gu
    Stop it.
[05:10] Gu
    Weren't you on the Nippori team?
[05:15] S
    That's enough.
[05:16] S
    Tell me the name of your office.
[05:18] S
    Where is it?
[05:19] Gu
    What? They don't work for a gang?
[05:22] Gu
    And they're pretty nasty, too.
[05:26] Gu
    It was a long time ago.
[05:29] R
    Really? You made contact with the locals?
[05:32] S
    Yes, someone was indeed selling
    rubble through illegal channels.
[05:35] S
    They may be linked to the
    Kanto Shared Ownership Association.
[05:38] S
    Tomorrow, I'll talk to the people
    living here illegally.
[05:43] S
    But I didn't find any clues about the Willwear.
[05:47] R
    Well, there's no need to hurry on that.
[05:49] R
    As for your support tomorrow...
[05:51] S
    Huh? I'll be alone tomorrow?
[05:53] S
    Okay, understood.
[05:55] Gu
    Hey, boy...
[05:57] Gu
    You got the hookup?
[06:01] S
    Um, this side of the wall is Tokyo City.
[06:04] S
    Do you have a passport or an ID?
[06:07] Gu
    What are you talking about?
[06:09] Gu
    You're the guy, right? Hook me up!
[06:11] ---
    Huh?
[06:12] Gu
    The thing from before!
[06:13] S
    What "thing"?
[06:16] S
    Wait! Let me talk to—
[06:20] Gu
    Ow...
[06:21] K
    Mister...
[06:23] K
    You can have these. Talk to me.
[06:27] S
    Those are mine!
[06:30] S
    I hate to be pushy, but you do have
    transport permits for these, right?
[06:34] S
    And be sure to dispose of—
[06:35] Gu
    Man, you're so cautious.
[06:37] Gu
    Well, we'll take care of the rest.
[06:43] S
    That's their truck.
[06:44] S
    Can you see it?
[06:45] F
    Yes, Haruka-kun will track it.
[06:48] F
    If they're dumping illegally,
    we'll arrest them later.
[06:51] S
    Thank you.
[06:53] Gu
    You bastard!
[06:54] Gu
    How many times do I have to say it?
[06:56] Gu
    To sell things in someone else's country,
    you've gotta pay the locals!
[07:03] S
    Stop it!
[07:05] Gu
    Who the hell are you?
[07:06] S
    You're going too far.
[07:08] Gu
    It's fine.
[07:09] Gu
    These guys don't even have a country!
[07:12] S
    Stop it!
[07:14] Gu
    You're protecting an illegal immigrant?
[07:17] S
    They don't want to be illegal.
[07:22] Gu
    Hey, that's enough.
[07:24] Gu
    Piss this guy off, and you'll have to
    deal with the gang that backs him.
[07:28] S
    No, I...
[07:29] S
    Fine!
[07:31] S
    You'd better pay up next time, Atin.
[07:39] S
    Why did you save me?
[07:41] S
    If something unfair is happening
    to someone, of course I'll help.
[07:47] S
    Where did you come from?
[07:52] S
    No, if you don't want to tell me—
[07:53] Gu
    Carupanuba.
[07:55] Gu
    That's where I'm from. Do you know it?
[07:57] S
    No, not really.
[08:00] Gu
    It's a small country to the south.
[08:02] Gu
    The country is poor, but peaceful.
[08:05] Gu
    Or it used to be.
[08:06] S
    Used to be?
[08:08] Gu
    Until it was taken over by a dictator
    who liked the geopolitical advantage
[08:11] Gu
    and money from running a country
    directly under the equator.
[08:16] S
    You ran?
[08:17] Gu
    Or I'd have died.
[08:20] S
    I see.
[08:36] S
    No, that's the wrong way.
[08:39] Gu
    This is the way I do it.
[08:43] S
    You're stubborn.
[08:44] Gu
    So are you.
[08:47] S
    I'm Sena. Sena Souichirou.
[08:51] Gu
    Sorry to say this after you helped me,
[08:53] Gu
    but I don't want you invading my privacy.
[08:56] Gu
    Would you leave?
[09:01] F
    Carupanuba...
[09:03] F
    That name makes things complicated.
[09:06] S
    Didn't that country make the Willwear
    involved in the Rudra incident?
[09:10] M
    It's a dictatorship,
[09:12] M
    but the Japanese government takes
    pains to stay on its good side.
[09:16] S
    They do?
[09:17] E
    You didn't know, Sena-san?
[09:19] S
    Sorry, the Garbage Disposal Times is all I read.

[09:22] L
    That's the plan for the space elevator, right?
[09:25] L
    The Takao Tower?
[09:26] L
    That demonstration is intended
    for the whole world!
[09:30] L
    And a rumor says it's been decided
    at a political level that,
[09:34] L
    once the demonstration ends, they'll build
    a more permanent one in Carupanuba.
[09:37] L
    Do you believe it? Or not?
[09:40] S
    I think I understand.
[09:42] Gu
    It's right below the equator,
    which makes building an elevator easy.
[09:46] H
    Once it's done, huge sums
    of money will be involved,
[09:50] H
    so the ruling party does all
    it can to keep them happy.
[09:52] H
    Even Governor Inagi can't do anything about it.
[09:56] H
    So, Sena-kun,
[09:57] H
    this Atin from Carupanuba is involved?
[10:00] S
    No, I'm not sure.
[10:03] S
    But...
[10:04] K
    We found someone who looked like a witness.
[10:06] K
    I was planning to look into it again later, but...
[10:09] S
    But first—
[10:10] R
    Wait, Sena-kun.
[10:11] R
    That Willwear has appeared in Gotanda.
[10:20] M
    Shinagawa Ward, East Gotanda, Second Street.
[10:22] M
    A vehicle was destroyed while
    in motion, causing injuries.
[10:25] M
    No sign of any suspect.
[10:27] M
    We believe it's the invisible Willwear.

[10:31] R
    Oh, dear...
[10:32] R
    He might have gotten away by now.

[10:46] S
    Atin...
[10:47] S
    Oh, um... I was just seeing if
    you wanted to have lunch...
[10:52] S
    I bought some donuts.
[10:53] S
    They're in the parking lot there.
[10:55] S
    I'll get them now.
[11:07] S
    This is nice.
[11:10] S
    It's so clean.
[11:12] S
    That's enough to tell me I can trust you.
[11:19] S
    I'm sorry...
[11:21] S
    I'll get that.

    Forget that, sing!
[11:28] Gu
    Japanese sing at times like this, right?
[11:31] Gu
    Or dance naked?
[11:33] S
    You're a weird drunk.
[11:35] Gu
    Drunk?
[11:36] Gu
    This is a drink?
[11:38] S
    You've never had alcohol?
[11:40] Gu
    It was forbidden in my country.
[11:42] S
    What was your country like?
[11:46] Gu
    Constant civil wars.
[11:48] Gu
    People dying all the time.
[11:51] Gu
    Is that funny?
[11:52] S
    No, it's not. I didn't know.
[11:54] Gu
    Of course not.
[11:56] Gu
    In some countries, it's a big deal when
    a few people die from terrorism,
[11:59] Gu
    and in some countries, no one cares,
[12:02] Gu
    no matter how many die.
[12:07] Gu
    Still, I wanted to make it better.
[12:09] Gu
    I tried to support our talentless politicians.
[12:12] S
    Support them?
[12:14] S
    That was your job?
[12:16] Gu
    I don't know.
[12:18] Gu
    In the end, the dictator tried to rely
    on Japan to rebuild the economy.
[12:23] Gu
    I wonder what the right answer was...
[12:27] Gu
    Why did you save me?
[12:30] S
    I told you.
[12:31] S
    I couldn't just let something unfair happen—
[12:34] Gu
    You're lying.
[12:35] Gu
    Something unfair is happening to everyone.
[12:38] Gu
    At least, in my country.
[12:41] Gu
    That's why we all pretend we don't see it.
[12:43] S
    That's different.
[12:44] Gu
    Yes.
[12:46] Gu
    People have ideals.
[12:48] Gu
    That's why...
[12:49] Gu
    That's why...
[12:52] Gu
    I...
[12:56] S
    You've lived an earnest life, haven't you?
[12:59] S
    I haven't had strong beliefs
    to anchor me like you.
[13:04] S
    I've just gone with the flow,
[13:06] S
    living life as it came.
[13:14] Gu
    I have dreams.
[13:16] Gu
    About when my little brother and sister died.
[13:19] Gu
    I couldn't do anything.
[13:22] Gu
    When I was chased out of my own country,
[13:25] Gu
    I took my young brother and sister with me.
[13:29] Gu
    I used all my money to buy a little boat.
[13:32] Gu
    We saw the morning sun
    many times on the open sea.
[13:35] Gu
    It was beautiful.
[13:37] Gu
    But I started to get scared,
[13:40] Gu
    and we started to run out
    of things to eat and drink.
[13:44] Gu
    Even when the cans were empty,
[13:46] Gu
    they'd put them upside-down
    on top of their cups,
[13:51] Gu
    hoping some tiny drop of
    liquid would come out.
[13:55] Gu
    When they were totally empty,
    I made pinwheels out of them.
[13:59] Gu
    They loved that.
[14:02] Gu
    It didn't make anything better.
[14:04] Gu
    But it really made them happy.
[14:07] Gu
    It made them smile.
[14:10] Gu
    One day, a big ship passed.
[14:13] Gu
    My brother and sister were too
    exhausted to even speak,
[14:18] Gu
    but I yelled as loud as I could.
[14:20] Gu
    But...
[14:22] S
    They didn't notice?
[14:25] Gu
    They were so close, they had to.

    Who wants to deal with a boat of refugees?

    Rain...
[14:35] Gu
    If only it had rained...
[14:39] Gu
    Have you ever hated anyone?
[14:42] S
    Well, a few times.
[14:45] Gu
    Have you wanted to kill them?
[14:47] S
    No way.
[14:49] Gu
    I have.
[14:50] Gu
    Sometimes, I think I'm about to lose control.
[14:53] Gu
    If I only had the chance...
[14:55] S
    You want revenge? On whom?
[14:59] Gu
    I'm joking.
[15:03] S
    Atin,
[15:05] S
    why not make a place for yourself?
[15:06] S
    With different scenery—
[15:07] Gu
    There is nowhere for me.
[15:10] Gu
    Someday,
[15:11] Gu
    they'll kick me out of this place, too.
[15:18] K
    Yo.
[15:19] S

[15:49] S
    All right.
[15:50] K
    What's your take on him?
[15:52] S
    Innocent... is what I'd like to believe.
[15:54] S
    No motive.
[15:55] K
    I'm not so sure.
[15:57] K
    He has nothing left to lose, right?
[16:00] K
    He's lost his home and family.
[16:03] K
    He wants to vent his anger,
    but no one's available.
[16:07] K
    It would only take something to give him—
[16:09] S
    Don't talk like you understand!
[16:11] K
    I lost my hometown, too.
[16:15] K
    You shouldn't get weirdly attached.
[16:18] K
    You won't notice if he's lying to you.
[16:21] S
    I'm the one who's lying to him.
[16:28] Gu
    Oh... You're leaving?
[16:30] S
    Yeah. I've finished my investigation
    of the resources here.
[16:33] Gu
    Would you take this?
[16:35] Gu
    If you don't mind.
[16:37] S
    No, but...
[16:39] Gu
    It made me happy
[16:41] Gu
    that you saved me.
[16:44] Gu
    You are
[16:45] Gu
    the first person to look me in
    the eye since I came here.

[19:24] Gu
    but a new battery, at full charge,
    can last six hours.
[19:27] K
    You're going to wait?
[19:28] K
    The rain's letting up!
[19:30] K
    There he goes!
[19:38] K
    What? You missed?!
[19:40] S
    I grazed him.
[19:41] S
    That should have damaged him!
[19:42] K
    I'll go on ahead!
[19:56] S
    Where are you?
[19:57] S
    Where are you?
[20:12] S
    Atin?
[20:15] S
    Atin, is that you?
[20:22] S
    Atin!
[20:30] K
    There he is!
[20:31] K
    He's in plain sight!
[20:33] K
    Is his battery dead?
[20:35] K
    Oscar I?
[20:37] Gu
    I thought it would be you, Sena.
[20:42] Gu
    I just had a feeling, for some reason.
[20:45] Gu
    So I tested you.
[20:47] Gu
    If you noticed the cans, I'd know it was you.
[20:51] Gu
    I thought this might be fate.
[20:58] Gu
    Why did the Japanese government
    join hands with that dictator?!
[21:03] Gu
    If they hadn't...
[21:04] S
    Atin, that doesn't excuse what you did.
[21:09] Gu
    Look at all this rain...
[21:14] Gu
    So much rain.
[21:16] ---
    Back then...
[21:20] Gu
    If it had rained like this...

    Deportation to his home country?!
[21:31] S
    Is this another of those extralegal measures?!
[21:33] R
    It appears they prioritize good
    relations with Carupanuba,
[21:35] R
    and have agreed to the request.
[21:37] F
    Evidently, he was a leader of
    the anti-government forces.
[21:41] H
    Either way,
[21:42] H
    he won't survive once he gets back.
[21:46] K
    I wanted to get a clue about who
    gave him that Willwear, at least.
[21:51] M
    Well, maybe we got lucky that
[21:54] M
    we caught him there at all.
[21:55] K
    That's right...
[21:57] K
    We were lucky the battery ran out there!
[22:01] Gu
    Huh? I didn't tell you?
[22:04] Gu
    His Willwear battery still had plenty of charge.
[22:09] K
    Then why...
[22:12] S
    Atin, if that was your way of
    repaying me for saving you...
[22:20] S
    It's hard to live an earnest life, isn't it?
