[00:02] Naito
    I'm sorry.
[00:03] Naito
    I was careless.
[00:05] Naito
    I deployed some personnel in
    the area around this house.
[00:08] Naito
    But they struck when she
    happened to be over here.
[00:12] Naito
    That's the only thing left at the scene.
[00:14] Naito
    They took her while she
    was using the bathroom.
[00:19] Sanae
    Because I...
[00:20] Sanae
    Because I brought Sana-chan here!
[00:23] Naito
    Oh, no, no... That's not true.
[00:25] Naito
    It isn't your fault.
[00:27] Naito
    Ichijo-kun and a lady named
    "Yamada" are after them now.
[00:30] Naito
    I'm sure they'll find her soon.
[00:32] Sanae
    But... But...
[00:34] Zoroku
    Calm down.
[00:35] Zoroku
    Don't worry.
[00:37] Sanae
    Grandpa...
[00:38] Zoroku
    She'll be fine.
[00:41] Naito
    Yeah, he's right!
[00:44] Naito
    Sana-chan is valuable
    to those guys, too.
[00:47] Naito
    They won't be quick to harm her.
[00:50] Sanae
    Harm her?
[00:52] Zoroku
    Sanae...
[01:00] Minnie
    Do you understand?
[01:01] Minnie
    Did you just imagine it now?
[01:05] Minnie
    If you struggle or disobey me,
[01:08] Minnie
    you will die.
[01:11] Minnie
    I would do absolutely anything
[01:13] Minnie
    to see him again.
SIGN    Something Not Human
[02:57] Cleo
    What does everyone like
    about such a noisy place?
[03:04] Kito
    I'm back.
[03:05] Cleo
    I want to go home and
    play video games.
[03:07] Cleo
    We're done here, right?
[03:08] Kito
    Yes.
[03:09] Kito
    We can leave the rest to Minnie C.
[03:12] Kito
    I'm sure she'll bring
    the Red Queen home.
[03:15] Kito
    You all did great.
[03:18] Kito
    If you get hungry before we get
    there, you can have that—
[03:21] Cleo
    I don't want it.
[03:23] Cleo
    I'm sick of sweet stuff.
[03:26] Yonaga
    When this is over, everything will
    be back to normal, right?
[03:29] Yonaga
    We'll be with Sa-chan again.
[03:31] Asahi
    Yes.
[03:33] Asahi
    That's right.
[03:43] Minnie
    Honestly, you disappoint me.
[03:46] Minnie
    You once commanded the
    principles of space itself.
[03:49] Minnie
    If this is all you can do outside,
[03:51] Minnie
    you really are no more than a child.
[03:54] Minnie
    You acquired a body,
[03:56] Minnie
    learned language,
[03:57] Minnie
    and gained emotions...
[03:59] Minnie
    Only to flee to the outside world
    and pretend to be human.
[04:03] Minnie
    See?
[04:04] Minnie
    It was so easy to render
    you motionless.
[04:09] Sana
    Pretend to be human?
[04:11] Sana
    What is she talking about?
[04:13] Minnie
    Or could it be...
[04:15] Minnie
    Do you actually think you're human,
[04:20] Minnie
    Red Queen?
[04:23] Naito
    Why are they after that girl?
[04:26] Zoroku
    I called you because I thought you
[04:28] Zoroku
    could do something about the abuse
    she's apparently endured.
[04:31] Zoroku
    But it looks like you guys are
    working on something bigger.
[04:37] Naito
    That's a state secret.
[04:39] Zoroku
    Huh?
[04:40] Naito
    Kidding, kidding!
[04:41] Naito
    A joke.
[04:42] Naito
    This is just something of
    a territorial dispute...
[04:45] Naito
    In the government, two people
    have two differing opinions.
[04:50] Naito
    I'm basically one of those people's dog.
[04:53] Zoroku
    Say it so I can understand.
[04:55] Zoroku
    Just what kind of little girl is she?
[04:59] Naito
    To be honest, I'm not
    sure you'll believe me.
[05:03] Naito
    But Sana-chan, most likely,
[05:05] Naito
    isn't a human like you and me.
[05:08] Both
    Huh?
[05:10] Minnie
    You are not human.
[05:13] Minnie
    In fact...
[05:15] Minnie
    Thirteen years ago,
[05:16] Minnie
    when you first appeared beneath
    the research facility,
[05:19] Minnie
    you couldn't even be
    called a living thing.
[05:23] Minnie
    You were a mere phenomenon that could
    randomly read thoughts and reactions
[05:28] Minnie
    of living things around you,
    and make them real.
[05:31] Minnie
    Your appearance,
[05:33] Minnie
    ego, emotions, and words you learned
[05:36] Minnie
    were all cards that an ownerless Mirror Gate
[05:38] Minnie
    created by copying those
    things from humans.
[05:42] Minnie
    Have you forgotten that?
[05:43] Sana
    That's a lie.
[05:44] Sana
    I'm Sana, and I'm right here!
[05:47] Minnie
    That is why you must not leave
    the research facility.
[05:51] Minnie
    Living in the outside world
    is impossible for you.
[05:54] Minnie
    If there is a place for you in the world,
[05:56] Minnie
    it's at Wonderland and nowhere else.
[05:59] Minnie
    Now, let us return to where you belong.
[06:04] Naito
    That girl's power is called
    a "Dream of Alice."
[06:08] Naito
    And it's said that soon, many more
    people will have such powers.
[06:14] Naito
    This may all sound preposterous.
[06:16] Naito
    But it flips our senses of vitality
    and ethics totally upside-down.
[06:21] Naito
    Can our society accept beings like her?
[06:26] Naito
    We'll soon be facing that issue head-on.
[06:29] Naito
    Frankly, we think it's possible.
[06:32] Naito
    But the other side doesn't agree...
[06:35] Naito
    Do you understand now?
[06:38] Zoroku
    More or less.
[06:40] Naito
    We'd been employing various tactics
    beneath the surface already.
[06:44] Naito
    And then we learned the girl we'd been
    watching had wound up with you.
[06:49] Naito
    So I thought I'd make use
    of that little godsend.
[06:53] Zoroku
    Make use of it?
[06:55] Naito
    Yep, to determine whether humans
    can coexist with Sana-chan.
[07:00] Naito
    Well, I guess that's an exaggeration.
[07:02] Zoroku
    You've always been the type who doesn't
    consider the trouble you cause others.
[07:07] Naito
    Sorry.
[07:09] Zoroku
    I'll air my complaints later.
[07:11] Zoroku
    After that girl comes back home.
[07:14] Zoroku
    Sanae, can you continue
    to get along with her?
[07:17] Sanae
    Huh?
[07:18] Sanae
    Y-Yeah.
[07:19] Zoroku
    All right.
[07:21] Zoroku
    Then the girl can—
[07:22] Sanae
    U-Um, that's fine, but...
[07:26] Sanae
    Grandpa, I wish you wouldn't just
    make decisions about everything
[07:31] Sanae
    on your own like that.
[07:34] Sanae
    When I heard that Sana-chan
    was at our house,
[07:38] Sanae
    I was so surprised.
[07:42] Sanae
    I mean, it's fine, but...
[07:43] Sanae
    But you tend to be that
    way sometimes.
[07:48] Zoroku
    Do I?
[07:50] Sanae
    Please value your family more!
[07:53] Sanae
    Please talk to me more!
[07:57] Sanae
    If we're going to be a family of
    three, it's all the more reason.
[08:04] Sanae
    I'm done.
[08:05] Zoroku
    Okay...
[08:07] Zoroku
    Got it.
[08:08] Sanae
    Okay.
[08:09] Sanae
    I'm glad, then.
[08:14] Minnie
    Now, then. Our little chat is over.
[08:16] Minnie
    I'll need you to be quiet for a bit longer.
[08:20] Sana
    I'm not human?
[08:23] Sana
    That's why I wasn't to go
    to the outside world?
[08:26] Sana
    Am I...
[08:27] Sana
    Am I not allowed to go anywhere?
[08:30] Sana
    Because I'm a monster?
[08:32] Sana
    I don't...
[08:34] Sana
    I don't
[08:36] Sana
    want that!
[08:37] Minnie
    This will just slow your body down,
[08:39] Minnie
    to make your brain stop working.
[08:42] Minnie
    When you're completely unconscious,
    you're more dangerous.
[08:49] Minnie
    Filthy...
[08:59] FutureSana
    Oh, you've come here?
[09:02] FutureSana
    It's sort of against the rules
    for you to talk to me.
[09:06] Sana
    I feel like I know you.
[09:08] Sana
    Who are you?
[09:09] FutureSana
    Me?
[09:11] FutureSana
    Well... let's see.
[09:13] FutureSana
    I'm a really cool lady you don't know.
[09:16] Sana
    Huh?
[09:17] Sana
    When I was at the research
    facility, did you talk to me?
[09:22] FutureSana
    Well, in time, you'll find out.
[09:25] Sana
    Flat.
[09:26] FutureSana
    Huh?
[09:27] Sana
    You're an adult, but Sanae has
    bigger breasts than you.
[09:31] FutureSana
    You'd better not forget you said that.
[09:33] FutureSana
    I'll knock you for a loop later.
[09:37] Sana
    Hey...
[09:39] Sana
    I may not be human.
[09:42] Sana
    I may be a monster.
[09:44] FutureSana
    Most people don't know
    what they really are.
[09:49] FutureSana
    I'm still searching for that myself.
[09:52] FutureSana
    I shouldn't tell you this.
[09:55] FutureSana
    But I was very lucky.
[09:59] FutureSana
    I had people around me who
    knew things I didn't.
[10:03] FutureSana
    I'm sure you do, too.
[10:05] FutureSana
    You should try calling
    that person's name.
[10:13] Zoroku
    Hey, did you just hear something?
[10:16] Naito
    Wait! Look above you. Above.
[10:18] Zoroku
    Huh?
[10:20] Zoroku
    The hell is that?
[10:22] Sanae
    That's Sana-chan's.
[10:26] Sanae
    Grandpa!
[10:27] Sanae
    Please save Sana-chan!
[10:29] Zoroku
    Huh?
[10:31] Sana
    Zo... roku.
[10:37] Minnie
    Huh?
[10:51] Zoroku
    Hey!
[10:54] Zoroku
    Sana...
[10:55] Zoroku
    Sana, you okay?
[10:57] Zoroku
    Can you hear me?
[10:58] Sana
    That's...
[11:00] Sana
    That's the first time
    he's called me "Sana."
[11:02] Zoroku
    Hey, are you the one
[11:04] Zoroku
    who's been cruel to this little girl?
[11:07] Minnie
    Honestly, Red Queen,
[11:10] Minnie
    all you do is cause—
[11:11] Zoroku
    You demon...
[11:13] Zoroku
    I'm not joking here!
[11:15] Zoroku
    I hate crooked stuff!
[11:20] Minnie
    Just who are you?
[11:22] Zoroku
    I'm a florist.
[11:24] Zoroku
    I'm not too strong,
    but I won't be outdone.
[11:28] Zoroku
    Sana!
[11:29] Zoroku
    Where's your energy from earlier?
[11:31] Zoroku
    Can't you do anything,
    just by thinking about it?
[11:34] Zoroku
    So don't just stay here like this!
[11:40] Zoroku
    Sana...
[11:42] Zoroku
    Get back home right now!
[11:44] Zoroku
    That creepy guy, Naito,
    is gonna save you.
[11:50] Zoroku
    Don't worry about me.
[11:52] Zoroku
    Just...
[11:54] Zoroku
    Get going, now!
[11:55] Minnie
    Would you please be quiet?
[11:57] Zoroku
    You—
[12:04] Zoroku
    Sana!
[12:06] Zoroku
    Damn you!
[12:13] Minnie
    Red Queen, if you try to act
    on your own again,
[12:17] Minnie
    something even worse will happen.
[12:20] Minnie
    Next time, to him.
[12:22] Zoroku
    Sana!
[12:23] Minnie
    Understand?
[12:24] Minnie
    I am serious.
[12:26] Zoroku
    Sana. Sana...
[12:28] Zoroku
    Sana!
[12:29] Sana
    No.
[12:30] Sana
    No more...
[12:31] Sana
    Why did it come to this?
[12:34] Sana
    Because I'm not human?
[12:37] Sana
    Because I pretended to be human when
    I'm not, and I called Zoroku here?
[12:42] Sana
    Or because Zoroku and I...
[12:47] Sana
    I see...
[12:48] Sana
    I get it.
[13:05] Sana
    That's enough.
[13:08] Sana
    I get it now.
[13:10] Sana
    So don't do anything bad to Zoroku.
[13:15] Zoroku
    Sana!
[13:16] Zoroku
    Hey!
[13:16] Minnie
    Her energy finally ran out.
[13:18] Zoroku
    Sana...
[13:19] Zoroku
    Is your wound okay?
[13:23] Minnie
    She truly is amazing.
[13:25] Minnie
    While making her wound disappear,
[13:28] Minnie
    she actually rewrote parts
    of her situation.
[13:34] Noriko
    I've located Sana-chan!
[13:36] Noriko
    She's headed toward Oi Futo on the
    Shuto Expressway Bayshore Route!
[13:39] Naito
    Got it.
[13:40] Naito
    I'll ask an acquaintance in Port Authority
    if he's seen anyone strange leaving Oi.
[13:46] Naito
    Ichijo-kun, did you hear that?
[13:47] Ichijo
    Yes!
[13:48] Ichijo
    I'll head there, too!
[13:50] Naito
    Thanks.
[13:51] Naito
    So there you go.
[13:52] Naito
    Nothing to worry about anymore.
[13:54] Sanae
    O-Okay...
[13:56] Naito
    I'm heading out for a bit.
[13:58] Naito
    You should go home, Sanae-chan.
[14:00] Naito
    I'll get someone to take you.
[14:03] Naito
    Wait here.
[14:20] Sanae
    Um...
[14:21] Sanae
    Could you take me with you?
[14:34] Sana
    I'm sorry, Zoroku.
[14:36] Sana
    I... really am... a monster.
[14:41] Sana
    I'm sorry.
[14:42] Sana
    I'm so sorry, Zoroku.
[14:45] Zoroku
    Don't worry about it.
[14:46] Zoroku
    I'm used to it.
[14:49] Sana
    I'm sorry!
[14:52] Minnie
    Kashimura Zoroku-san, age 72.
[14:56] Minnie
    Owner of the flower shop
    Kashimura Floral.
[14:59] Minnie
    Your family consists of a granddaughter,
    a high school second-year.
[15:04] Zoroku
    You know everything about me, huh?
[15:07] Minnie
    I'd appreciate it if you would quietly
    accompany us for a while.
[15:11] Zoroku
    Who are you, anyway?
[15:14] Minnie
    I am Miriam C. Tachibana.
[15:17] Minnie
    I'm working with a certain state project
[15:19] Minnie
    that involves the Japanese
    and American governments.
[15:23] Zoroku
    What they call "Dreams of Alice," right?
[15:25] Minnie
    Oh, you know of them?
[15:27] Minnie
    Our goal is to research
    the Dreams of Alice
[15:30] Minnie
    and artificially reproduce their powers.
[15:33] Minnie
    And in the end, we'll build a new
    energy system based upon it.
[15:38] Minnie
    You could say this is a project
    to benefit humanity.
[15:41] Zoroku
    You don't mind keeping this
    child locked up for life,
[15:44] Zoroku
    dissecting her or anything else,
[15:46] Zoroku
    as long as it's "to benefit humanity"?
[15:50] Minnie
    You like sci-fi movies?
[15:53] Minnie
    We will not dissect her.
[15:55] Minnie
    However...
[15:57] Minnie
    She is not a human, let alone a child.
[16:02] Minnie
    The Red Queen is an
[16:04] Minnie
    unknown phenomenon, born when an
    unidentified being mimicked humans.
[16:09] Zoroku
    Hmph!
[16:10] Zoroku
    Makes no sense to me.
[16:11] Zoroku
    She looks like an ordinary little girl.
[16:14] Minnie
    What if a weapon of mass destruction
    adopted an artificial personality,
[16:17] Minnie
    taking the form of a young girl?
[16:20] Minnie
    What would you think about that?
[16:23] Zoroku
    Huh?
[16:24] Minnie
    Such a monster is attempting
[16:25] Minnie
    to mingle in our society, in disguise.
[16:29] Zoroku
    Hey...
[16:30] Minnie
    Kashimura-san, since meeting her,
[16:33] Minnie
    have you or your granddaughter
    been in mortal danger?
[16:36] Zoroku
    Don't listen to a word she says!
[16:39] Zoroku
    Hey, everything you're saying is—
[16:41] Sana
    That's enough.
[16:43] Sana
    That's enough, Zoroku...
[16:46] Sana
    I think it's true that I'm a monster!
[16:50] Sana
    There are lots of things I
    thought were strange.
[16:52] Zoroku
    Hey.
[16:53] Sana
    I'm a monster.
[16:55] Sana
    If you find out what I really am,
    I'm sure you'll hate me, too.
[17:00] Sana
    M-Maybe you already hate me now.
[17:05] Sana
    I don't want you or Sanae
[17:07] Sana
    to go through any more
    trouble because of me.
[17:11] Zoroku
    Hey, Sana...
[17:12] Sana
    If it was all because I
    wanted to be human,
[17:16] Sana
    then you don't... need me around.
[17:20] Sana
    I'm sorry, Zoroku.
[17:22] Sana
    I'll go back to the research facility.
[17:25] Sana
    Thank you...
[17:27] Sana
    The food was delicious!
[17:36] Noriko
    Yes!
[17:36] Noriko
    I'm taking a helicopter there!
[17:38] Noriko
    You?
[17:39] Ichijo
    I'll go on my own.
[17:40] Ichijo
    That'll be faster.
[17:43] Noriko
    Senpai, you're so awesome!
[17:48] Naito
    I found out which boat they're on.
[17:51] Naito
    Ichijo-kun will save them in no time.
[17:53] Sanae
    O-Okay.
[17:55] Naito
    It'll be fine, really.
[17:56] Naito
    Right now, I bet your grandpa's
    lecturing the kidnapper.
[18:00] Naito
    He's saying, "I hate crooked stuff!"
[18:10] Sanae
    Back then...
[18:12] Zoroku
    What're you making?
[18:14] Sanae
    They're graves.
[18:18] Sanae
    I don't clearly remember
[18:22] Sanae
    what Grandpa said to me then.
[18:24] Sanae
    But...
[18:27] Sanae
    Earlier, when he said that Sana-chan
    might become part of our family,
[18:32] Sanae
    I had a really strange feeling,
    like something
[18:37] Sanae
    tightening in my chest.
[18:40] Sanae
    And...
[18:45] Sanae
    I think that it made me
    remember a little bit.
[18:48] Sanae
    What Grandpa told me back then,
[18:52] Sanae
    at the time of my parents' funeral.
[18:55] Sanae
    And how much his words saved me.
[18:58] Zoroku
    Listen... Sana.
[19:01] Zoroku
    Even if you aren't human, so what?
[19:05] Zoroku
    Don't say such dumb things.
[19:11] Zoroku
    Just come home with me now, Sana.
[19:16] Zoroku
    You said your name's Miriam-san?
[19:19] Zoroku
    You said this girl isn't human.
[19:23] Zoroku
    Then, let me ask...
[19:24] Zoroku
    What is a human?
[19:26] Zoroku
    You shot a child, without a
    thought. Are you human?
[19:30] Minnie
    That is not the issue here.
[19:33] Zoroku
    You're right that this girl's dangerous.
[19:35] Zoroku
    The moment I take my eyes off her,
    she's causing a commotion.
[19:39] Zoroku
    At best, she's a nuisance.
[19:41] Zoroku
    But everyone does those things.
[19:45] Zoroku
    As long as you see the problem
    and improve, it's fine.
[19:49] Zoroku
    That's all there is to it.
[19:50] Zoroku
    Not to mention,
[19:52] Zoroku
    she's happy when she has good food.
[19:55] Zoroku
    In her own clumsy way,
    she worries about others.
[19:57] Zoroku
    And she even gauges others' moods.
[19:59] Zoroku
    Even when she's caused trouble,
[20:01] Zoroku
    she's never done anything
    with malicious intent.
[20:05] Zoroku
    That's who Sana is.
[20:07] Zoroku
    She's got a heart.
[20:09] Minnie
    As I was saying, the issue here
    is not such a personal matter.
[20:13] Minnie
    You aren't in any position
    to do anything with her—
[20:17] Zoroku
    Listen when your elders speak!
[20:19] Zoroku
    All of us, no matter who,
    are imperfect somehow.
[20:23] Zoroku
    There are things we can't know
    or do on our own,
[20:26] Zoroku
    so we lean on each other to get by.
[20:30] Zoroku
    Isn't that true for you, too?
[20:33] Zoroku
    Look, even if this girl is some
    kind of alien, like you say,
[20:38] Zoroku
    is that really a problem?
[20:41] Zoroku
    You honestly don't think
    coexistence is possible?
[20:48] Sana
    H-Hey, Zoroku...
[20:50] Sana
    What are you saying?
[20:51] Sana
    I'm not human, you know.
[20:54] Sana
    I'll cause a lot of trouble for you.
[20:57] Sana
    For Sanae, too.
[21:00] Zoroku
    So what?
[21:02] Zoroku
    No matter what you are,
[21:03] Zoroku
    in tough times, you should
    be with others.
[21:08] Zoroku
    Don't force yourself, Sana.
[21:11] Zoroku
    In any case, I have no reason to send
    you away with these violent fools!
[21:18] Zoroku
    You left because you wanted to
    see what was outside, right?
[21:22] Zoroku
    Then do that.
[21:23] Zoroku
    Don't go back on your word.
[21:25] Zoroku
    I hate crooked stuff, you know.
[21:37] Sana
    Y-You must be an idiot!
[21:39] Zoroku
    I see.
[21:49] Ichijo
    Sorry I'm late.
[21:52] Ichijo
    I'm here to save you.
[21:55] Ichijo
    I'm Cabinet Information Research Office
    Secret Service agent Ichijo Shizuku.
[22:00] Ichijo
    We'll be taking you two with us!
