SIGN    We made it back alive.
[00:01] Naka
    We made it back alive...
[00:06] Naka
    But...
[00:09] Naka
    can the Agency look past the
    thirty-five people she murdered?
[00:17] Naka
    What am I going to do if she and the
    Agency are at odds with each other?
[00:24] Naka
    Good morning.
[00:30] Naomi
    Can you turn around once for me?
[00:33] Naomi
    So cute!
[00:35] Naka
    What's going on?
[00:38] Tani
    Well, she looks good in anything.
[00:42] Naka
    No, that's not what I'm talking about...
[00:44] Naka
    Kunikida-san...
[00:45] Kuni
    Don't look at me like that.
[00:47] Kuni
    I tried to stop them, too.
[00:48] Naka
    I wonder if this is going to work out.
[00:50] Tani
    Maybe it's not such a good idea.
[00:52] Naka
    Even if everyone else is okay with it,
[00:53] Naka
    Rampo-san might be a stickler
    about the rules...
[00:56] Tani
    Oh, don't worry about that.
[00:59] Rampo
    I'm back!
[01:00] Rampo
    I bought some!
[01:01] Tani
    Rampo-san's into it the most.
SIGN    Mixy Mixy Mixy Mix
     Grape Flavor
[01:03] Rampo
    This is the snack I told you about earlier.
[01:05] Rampo
    It changes color when you mix it.
[01:06] Rampo
    Go ahead, mix it.
[01:09] Rampo
    First, open the bag,
[01:11] Rampo
    then put the two powders in the container,
[01:12] Rampo
    and add some water.
[01:12] Naka
    They're like siblings
    in elementary school...
[01:13] Rampo
    Next, mix really well.
[01:15] Rampo
    It's important to put your feelings into it.
[01:18] Rampo
    Okay? Mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix.
[01:21] Rampo
    And look, how strange!
[01:25] Rampo
    But I'm the one who gets to eat it.
[01:28] Tani
    How childish...
[01:29] ?
    Rampo-san, you're a terrible person!
[01:29] Naka
    Well, it is just like him to do that...
[01:32] Naka
    So, who called her over to the Agency?
[01:36] Fuku
    It was me.
[01:38] Naka
    President!
[01:41] Fuku
    Any movement from the police?
[01:43] Kuni
    Thanks to the Port Mafia's
    attempts to erase her identity,
[01:46] Kuni
    they haven't tracked down who she is yet...
[01:48] Fuku
    But she'll be a wanted fugitive soon.
[01:54] Kyouka
    Please let me stay here.
[01:56] Naka
    What?
[01:58] Kyouka
    I'll do anything.
[01:59] Kuni
    I don't recommend it.
[02:01] Kuni
    It's not because you were
    with the Port Mafia,
[02:04] Kuni
    or because we don't have work.
[02:06] Kuni
    But don't do it.
[02:07] Kuni
    It's not easy, the world we live in.
[02:09] Naka
    Besides, if you stay here,
[02:11] Naka
    the Mafia will find you eventually.
[02:12] Naka
    Shouldn't you run somewhere far away?
[02:15] Kyou
    He said...
[02:16] Kyou
    that I could do nothing
    else but kill people.
[02:20] Kyou
    I want to prove to myself that he's wrong.
[02:29] Naka
    President.
[02:32] Naka
    I would also like to ask on her behalf.
[02:36] Kyou
    Please.
[02:40] Kyou
    Please...
[02:44] Kyou
    Please...
[02:53] Fuku
    Very well.
[02:54] All
    What?!
SIGN    What?!
[02:56] Fuku
    I'll take her in.
[02:58] Fuku
    
[04:33] Man
    Sprain fracture of the lower jaw.
[04:35] Man
    Avulsion of the frontal bone
    and thoracic vertebrae,
[04:38] Man
    damage to the jugular ligament,
[04:40] Man
    rupture of the brachial
    and femoral muscles,
[04:42] Man
    and first-degree burns over the entire body.
[04:44] Man
    To top it off, he's in a coma.
[04:47] Man
    He's suffered serious damage.
[04:49] Man
    It is the price he paid
    for failing his mission.
[04:52] Higuchi
    I'm sorry.
[04:54] Man
    He may not regain consciousness.
[04:58] Higuchi
    But...
[04:59] Man
    Don't feel so disappointed.
[05:01] Man
    You all did your best.
[05:04] Man
    You did fail in attacking the Agency and
[05:06] Man
    capturing the weretiger,
[05:08] Man
    and you sank the transport ship.
[05:10] Man
    But you did your best, didn't you?
[05:12] Man
    Effort is what's important.
[05:14] Man
    Results come second.
[05:16] Man
    Isn't that right?
[05:19] Man
    Oh, that reminds me.
[05:20] Man
    The remnants of Karma Transit,
[05:22] Man
    the group Akutagawa-kun crushed
    during the operation,
[05:24] Man
    are apparently coming together.
[05:26] Man
    I presume they want vengeance
    on Akutagawa-kun.
[05:29] Man
    Listen, Higuchi-kun.
[05:31] Man
    The Mafia are, in the end,
[05:33] Man
    an act of commerce that employs
    violence as its currency.
[05:35] Man
    It is allowed to desire and
    kill anything and anyone.
[05:39] Man
    Retaliation in kind is a matter
    of expenditure and liability.
[05:43] Higuchi
    But... liability?
[05:46] Higuchi
    Akutagawa-senpai has accomplished
    much in his missions thus far...
[05:49] Man
    Indeed, Akutagawa-kun is competent.
[05:52] Man
    His propensity for violence is high,
    even for our organization.
[05:55] Man
    But what about you?
[05:58] Man
    Higuchi-kun,
[06:00] Man
    have you ever felt that you are
    actually suited for this job?
SIGN    Episode 11: First, an Unsuitable Profession for Her.
[06:15] Higuchi
    I look horrible.
[06:19] Hirotsu
    That's quite enough for rehearsals, Gin.
[06:25] Higuchi
    The Black Lizard.
[06:26] Tachi
    Gin's often stuck with dark jobs like
    infiltration and assassination.
[06:31] Tachi
    It's not unusual for him to have
    to slit the throat of one of our own
[06:33] Tachi
    by the higher-ups' command.
[06:35] Tachi
    When it's for real, you won't
    even have time to be surprised.
[06:38] Higuchi
    You're saying the boss will terminate me?
[06:41] Hirotsu
    Not at the moment.
[06:43] Hirotsu
    But I don't know about tomorrow.
[06:46] Higuchi
    Are you here to mock me?
[06:48] Hirotsu
    If I were in your situation,
[06:50] Hirotsu
    I'd rethink my current position before
     an assassin arrives at my doorstep.
[06:55] Hirotsu
    You, along with Akutagawa-kun,
[06:57] Hirotsu
    are a strike force under the
    boss's direct supervision.
[06:59] Hirotsu
    As such, you have the authority to give
    orders to us in the combat squad.
[07:02] Hirotsu
    In that sense, you are our superior.
[07:04] Hirotsu
    But what makes us obey is not your authority,
SIGN    Rashoumon
[07:09] Hirotsu
    but fear and respect for the
    ability Akutagawa-kun wields.
[07:15] Hirotsu
    Higuchi-kun...
[07:17] Hirotsu
    During the time Akutagawa-kun
    is incapacitated,
[07:20] Hirotsu
    do you possess something
    that motivates us to obey?
[07:28] (Flashback) Aku
    I don't need your help!
[07:35] (Flashback) Higuchi
    Akutagawa-senpai!
[07:36] (Flashback) Higuchi
    Even for you, this would be suicide!
[07:38] (Flashback) Higuchi
    You're walking right into a
    building full of security guards!
[07:41] (Flashback) Higuchi
    You didn't even give us subordinates
    any orders about how to support you—
[07:44] (Flashback) Aku
    Shut up!
[07:45] (Flashback) Aku
    What would you know about any of this?
[07:52] (Flashback) Aku
    That's a beacon.
[07:54] (Flashback) Aku
    A beacon visible from anywhere in the city.
[07:57] (Flashback) Aku
    It is a powerful beacon that
    will be seen by the one
[07:59] (Flashback) Aku
    who left without a word,
[08:01] (Flashback) Aku
    and without acknowledging my power.
[08:04] (Flashback) Higuchi
    But it's my job to help you!
[08:07] (Flashback) Aku
    I don't need your help!
[08:11] (Flashback) Aku
    I need no one's help!
[08:23] Higuchi
    I'm back.
[08:24] (Flashback) Man
    Have you ever felt that you are
    actually suited for this job?
[08:31] Higuchi
    Of course not...
[08:57] Higuchi
    Yes? This is Higuchi.
[08:59] Higuchi
    What?!
[09:05] Hirotsu
    I urge you to reconsider.
[09:07] Hirotsu
    Your actions are contrary to
    what the brass would want.
[09:09] Tachi
    Are you sane?
[09:11] Tachi
    That's suicide!
[09:13] Tachi
    Akutagawa was abducted by foreign mercs
[09:15] Tachi
    hired by Karma Transit's remnants!
[09:18] Tachi
    Not only do they have numbers on their side,
[09:20] Tachi
    they're armed to the teeth!
[09:23] Tachi
    The boss will eventually issue orders
    to conduct a retrieval operation.
[09:26] Tachi
    Wait until that happens!
[09:27] Higuchi
    There will be no order!
[09:29] Higuchi
    If we retaliate as an organization
    against smugglers
[09:32] Higuchi
    who targeted Akutagawa-senpai
    as an individual,
[09:34] Higuchi
    the ripple effect will trigger a
    large-scale conflict with other organizations.
[09:37] Higuchi
    To avoid that,
[09:38] Higuchi
    the brass will turn a blind eye to a
    personal dispute between individual members...
[09:42] Higuchi
    Akutagawa-senpai has been cut off.
[09:45] Tachi
    But what can you hope
    to do by yourself?
[09:49] Higuchi
    Nothing.
[09:52] Higuchi
    Still!
[09:53] Higuchi
    I can't stand by and do nothing!
[09:58] Higuchi
    I knew...
[10:00] Higuchi
    I knew I wasn't suited for this job.
[10:02] Higuchi
    I knew I didn't have my
    subordinates' respect.
[10:06] (Flashback) Hirotsu
    If I were in your situation,
[10:08] (Flashback) Hirotsu
    I'd rethink my current position before
    an assassin arrives at my doorstep.
[10:14] Higuchi
    It's not easy to leave the Port Mafia,
[10:16] Higuchi
    but it's not impossible.
[10:17] Higuchi
    I've thought about it many times.
[10:20] Higuchi
    Yet I didn't, because...
[10:56] Higuchi
    Crap.
[10:58] Higuchi
    I can't rescue Akutagawa-senpai
    with this injury...
[11:31] Higuchi
    Yet I didn't, because...
[11:46] Tachi
    Kill everyone you don't recognize!
[11:57] Higuchi
    Why is the Black Lizard here?
[12:00] Hirotsu
    You are our superior officer.
[12:03] Hirotsu
    If our superior officer is in danger,
[12:05] Hirotsu
    we must act.
[12:09] Hirotsu
    I guess we're about done.
[12:19] Higuchi
    Akutagawa-senpai...
[12:24] Higuchi
    Senpai...
[12:25] Higuchi
    Senpai!
[12:32] Aku
    Higuchi?
[12:36] Higuchi
    Senpai, you're bleeding.
[12:43] Aku
    Sorry about all this.
[12:49] Higuchi
    It's not easy to leave the Port Mafia,
[12:51] Higuchi
    but it's not impossible.
[12:55] Higuchi
    Yet I didn't, because...
[13:01] Higuchi
    It's my job.
[13:03] Higuchi
    
[13:07] Kuni
    You look after the girl.
[13:10] Naka
    What, me?
[13:12] Kuni
    Of course.
[13:13] Kuni
    You saved her.
[13:15] Naka
    Okay.
[13:17] Police
    Excuse me.
[13:19] Police
    We're from the city police.
[13:20] Kenji
    Oh, welcome.
[13:22] Rampo
    Oh?
[13:23] Rampo
    You're Minoura-kun. Your subordinate
     was arrested a while ago, right?
[13:27] Mino
    We're here today on a
    different matter, detective.
[13:31] Mino
    We have a case.
SIGN    Episode 11 Second, an Ecstatic Detective Agency
[13:37] Kenji
    They left as soon as they
    were done talking business,
[13:39] Kenji
    without even having had tea.
[13:41] Kenji
    I guess policemen in cities are busy.
[13:43] Kuni
    Where you're from, do the police
    have lots of free time?
[13:46] Kenji
    Everyone knows each other in my village.
[13:49] Kenji
    Our policeman's job would
    be fixing the well's pump,
[13:53] Kenji
    rescuing cats from chimneys,
[13:55] Kenji
    and tasting the year's first watermelon.
[13:58] Kuni
    What the...
[13:59] Kuni
    What happens if anyone commits a crime?
[14:01] Kenji
    The perpertrator'd get tied up
    and thrown off a cliff.
[14:05] Naka
    Um, Kenji-san...
[14:07] Kenji
    You can call me Kenji-kun.
[14:09] Kenji
    Until two months ago, I was living
     in a village called Ihatov
[14:12] Kenji
    where there is neither
    electricity nor telephones.
[14:16] Kenji
    I was recruited by the president
    and came to the city.
[14:19] Kenji
    The city's full of new concepts.
    I'm having a lot of fun.
[14:22] Naka
    New? Like what?
SIGN    Isn't bartering good enough?
[14:24] Kenji
    First, I don't really understand
    the concept of money.
[14:28] Naka
    I see...
[14:30] Tani
    Kunikida-san,
[14:31] Tani
    What should we about the request
    from the city police earlier?
[14:36] Kuni
    A car in motion blew up
     for unknown reasons...
[14:40] Tani
    It'll be a challenge.
    The police have given up on it.
[14:42] Kuni
    Atsushi, want to give this one a try?
[14:45] Kuni
    Shadow another agent and
    quickly learn the ropes.
[14:48] Kuni
    You can do this.
[14:51] Naka
    Got it.
[14:53] Mob
    What's going on?
[14:55] Mob
    What's that?
[14:56] Kenji
    I heard a car was just going along
    when it suddenly flew to there.
[14:56] Mob
    Another explosion?
[14:59] Naka
    I'm not sure I'm up for this...
[15:02] Kenji
    The driver died on impact.
    He hasn't been identified.
[15:05] Naka
    Why not?
[15:06] Naka
    Can't we identify people if their
    fingerprints or teeth are intact?
[15:10] Kenji
    Yes.
[15:11] Kenji
    If they were intact.
[15:12] Naka
    What?!
[15:13] Naka
    Then...
[15:13] Naka
    It's all mush inside that car...
[15:17] Kenji
    All right,
[15:18] Kenji
    Rampo-san would be able to solve
    the case right away here,
SIGN    Yokohamabashi
[15:21] Kenji
    but our task right now is
    to gather information.
[15:24] Gran
    Oh, Ken-chan.
[15:26] Kenji
    Oh hello, Miss Maeda.
[15:28] Gran
    Thank you for the boar meat the other day.
[15:30] Gran
    It was delicious.
[15:32] Kenji
    It was extra sent from my home.
[15:34] Kenji
    It was nothing.
[15:36] Naka
    "Miss"?
[15:37] Kenji
    She'd be one of the
     younger ladies at my village.
[15:40] Guy
    Hey, boy.
[15:41] Guy
    The vegetable garden I told you about,
[15:43] Guy
    it doesn't drain very well.
[15:46] Kenji
    It must be the soil in the rows.
[15:48] Kenji
    I'll come take a look tomorrow.
[15:49] Guy
    Thanks.
[15:50] Naka
    You're really popular.
[15:52] Man
    Hey, Ken-chan.
[15:55] Man
    You on a job?
[15:57] Kenji
    We're investigating the car explosion
    that happened on that street.
[16:02] Kenji
    Do you know anything?
[16:04] Man
    Oh, that...
[16:07] Man
    There are... rumors...
[16:18] Man
    I'm not really supposed to talk about it,
[16:20] Man
    but the young'uns were saying
    that before it happened,
[16:23] Man
    backstreet folks from the
    factory district bought a load of fertilizer.
[16:27] Kenji
    Fertilizer...
[16:28] Kenji
    I wonder if they realized
    the beauty of farming.
[16:31] Man
    No, they were apparently talking
    about manufacturing something...
[16:35] Kenji
    Then it was probably nitrogen fertilizer.
[16:37] Naka
    Nitrogen fertilizer?
[16:39] Kenji
    It's an ingredient for building bombs.
[16:40] Naka
    What?!
[16:41] Kenji
    Thank you as always.
[16:43] Kenji
    It was very helpful.
[16:44] Man
     I'd do anything for you, Ken-chan.
[16:45] Naka
    We already have a lead...
[16:46] Man
    Let's stay friendly.
[16:47] Naka
    Kenji-kun's amazing.
[16:48] Kenji
    The same goes for me.
[16:49] Kenji
    I'll be counting on you.
[16:51] Kenji
    Speaking of the back streets
    of the factory district,
[16:53] Kenji
    there's a meeting hall for the
     Gojo Youth Association there.
[16:56] Naka
    Youth Association?
[16:58] Kenji
    Put in city terms... a gang?
[17:01] Nawka
    A... A gang?!
[17:02] Kenji
    I wonder if they're the ones
     who built the bomb.
[17:06] Kenji
    Well, let's go ask them face to face.
[17:09] Naka
    Wait a minute!
[17:10] Naka
    Even if they were responsible,
[17:11] Naka
    I doubt they'd admit to it.
[17:13] Naka
    Won't it be risky?
[17:14] Kenji
    If we are sincere in our
    inquiries, they'll respond.
[17:17] Kenji
    It's how things are.
[17:18] Naka
    I-It's how things are?
[17:21] Naka
    Is it?
[17:24] Naka
    It's...
[17:28] Naka
    I guess it is how things are!
[17:31] Kuni
    Hey, Tanizaki.
SIGN    Nikonikodou
    Supermarket
[17:33] Kuni
    Aren't you with Atsushi?
SIGN    Was Off Purchasing Eggs on a Limited-Time Only Sale
[17:35] Tani
    Oh, Kenji-kun went with him.
[17:38] Kuni
    What, with Kenji?!
[17:39] Tani
    Yes, they went to the crime scene together.
[17:42] Tani
    Kenji-kun's very competent.
[17:44] Tani
    He's solved many difficult cases,
[17:46] Tani
    so I doubt there'll be problems—
[17:46] Kuni
    It's a huge problem!
[17:48] Kuni
    Kenji's methods are too unique.
     He's not a good role model!
[17:51] Kuni
    But given how simplistic
    and naïve Atsushi is,
[17:54] Kuni
    he may easily take Kenji's
    methods at face value
[17:55] Kuni
    and believe them to be the gold standard!
SIGN    Best and Worst Team
[17:58] Kuni
    This isn't good...
[18:00] Gang
    Huh?!
[18:02] Kenji
    Did you all build the bomb that
    made the car go flying?
[18:06] Gang
    You're funny!
[18:08] Gang
    You guys cops?
[18:09] Kenji
    Not at all. We're with the
    Armed Detective Agency.
[18:13] Kenji
    Oh, nice chain!
[18:16] Kenji
    You must be keeping one on you
[18:18] Kenji
    to use when you need to haul cows.
[18:20] Gang
    Don't touch me!
[18:21] Gang
    What's your play?!
[18:22] Kenji
    Oh, I just wanted you all to tell me
[18:25] Kenji
    whether you're responsible for what happened.
[18:26] Gang
    Huh?
[18:30] Gang
    Don't know anything about it.
[18:33] Gang
    Right?
[18:35] Kenji
    I see!
[18:36] Kenji
    I'm sorry to have bothered you.
[18:38] Naka
    Huh?!
[18:39] Kenji
    Thank you for your help.
[18:41] Gang
    What?
[18:44] Naka
    H-Hey, Kenji-kun?
[18:46] Naka
    They were lying, no matter
    how you try to look at it.
[18:48] Naka
    They're the ones responsible!
[18:50] Naka
    They might've used the bomb to kill someone
    in an opposing gang, or something.
[18:54] Kenji
    But they said they didn't know anything.
[18:57] Naka
    Well, sure, but...
[18:59] Kenji
    Be it with a cow or a person...
[19:01] Kenji
    Be it in a village or a city,
[19:03] Kenji
    if you are sincere, you can
    communicate with others.
[19:06] Kenji
    I've never failed using this method.
[19:10] Naka
    R-Really?
[19:12] Kenji
    Really.
[19:17] Naka
    I guess I can see that.
[19:19] Kenji
    Shall we get back for now?
[19:21] Naka
    Yeah.
SIGN    Grrrrrowl
[19:30] Kenji
    Let's go by a beef bowl
    place on our way back.
[19:32] Kenji
    I'm starving.
[19:33] Naka
    Kenji-kun, you can eat beef
    even though you keep cows?
[19:37] Kneji
    I love cows!
[19:38] Kneji
    I love having cows, communing
    with cows, and eating cows.
[19:44] Gang
    The bomb was used to kill
    an enemy gang member.
[19:48] Gang
    Who knew private investigators
    would sniff us out...
[19:52] Gang
    Since you left without
    really questioning us,
[19:54] Gang
    does that mean you found conclusive proof?
[19:57] Gang
    You're gonna tell the cops, aren't you?
[19:59] Gang
    We won't let you.
[20:00] Kenji
    I see.
[20:01] Kenji
    I'm glad you went through the
    trouble to tell us the truth.
[20:06] Gang
    Huh?
[20:07] Kenji
    I knew sincere conversation
    would lead to understanding.
[20:10] Kenji
    In all of my cases, everyone
    confesses to me like this.
[20:17] Naka
    Oh, I see—
[20:27] Gang
    One down.
[20:29] Naka
    Crap!
[20:30] Naka
    We're surrounded...
[20:31] Naka
    What've I been doing?
[20:33] Gang
    Get 'em!
[20:37] Kenji
    Ow...
[20:38] All
    Huh?
[20:40] Kenji
    Phew.
[20:41] Kenji
    Oops.
[20:43] Kenji
    Ouch...
[20:44] Kenji
    Oh, don't mind me.
[20:47] Kenji
    This happens sometimes.
[20:48] Kenji
    Out in the countryside,
    cows often get in a temper
[20:51] Kenji
    and refuse to listen to you.
[20:53] Kenji
    In times like that...
[21:00] Kenji
    Be not defeated by the rain.
[21:02] Kenji
    Be not defeated by the wind.
[21:04] Kenji
    Nor by the iron pipe.
[21:05] Kenji
    Nor by the knife.
[21:07] Kenji
    Nor by the metal bat.
[21:09] Kenji
    Be of sound body.
[21:13] Kenji
    Be without desire.
[21:15] Kenji
    Never be angered.
[21:17] Kenji
    Always have a quiet smile.

    I can't do things like this, Kunikida-san!
[21:32] Kuni
    Calm down, idiot!
[21:34] Kuni
    I commend you for realizing
    that on your own.
[21:38] Kuni
    Kenji is gifted with superhuman strength,
[21:40] Kuni
    but he isn't invincible.

    He can only manifest that
