SIGN Four years ago...
SIGN Back when the darkness of night
was a far bluer hue than now...
[00:18] D
Hey, Odasaku.
[00:25] D
Sorry, Sensei.
[00:29] Oda
You're calling a cat Sensei?
[00:32] D
Doesn't he look wise?
[00:33] D
He gives up his seat when
I have guests, too.
[00:37] D
Anyway, you have to hear this, Odasaku!
[00:39] D
There was a shootout today.
[00:42] Oda
Oh?
[00:43] D
I was trading shots in a warehouse block
[00:45] D
with an energetic crew armed with
a machine-gun equipped truck!
[00:49] Oda
That's quite the weapon.
[00:53] Oda
And what's with your new injuries?
[00:56] Oda
Is that from this shootout?
[00:59] D
I had to go pee in the midst of it,
[01:02] D
then I tripped on a ditch
because I was in such a hurry.
[01:05] Oda
I see.
[01:06] Oda
When you rush, it's hard to avoid that.
[01:09] D
Yes, it is.
[01:11] Oda
His name is Dazai Osamu...
[01:14] Oda
An executive in the Port Mafia,
a criminal organization.
[01:17] D
By the way, as for the other guys,
[01:19] D
they ran away crying after I set a
trap and roughed them up a little.
[01:22] D
They're a pretty sorry bunch.
[01:25] D
Thanks to them, yet again
I couldn't manage to die.
[01:28] Oda
There's a saying among the Port Mafia...
[01:31] Oda
The biggest misfortune for Dazai's enemies
[01:34] Oda
is that they are Dazai's enemies.
[01:36] Oda
His list of deeds writ in darkness and blood
[01:39] Oda
is enough to make even those
in the Mafia tremble.
[01:42] Oda
He was practically born to be one of them.
[01:46] D
Oh, man!
[01:48] D
I wonder if there is a simple, reliable
way to commit suicide somewhere.
[01:51] Oda
I doubt it.
[01:53] D
Odasaku?
[01:54] D
Man fears death and yet, at the
same time, man is drawn to death.
[02:00] D
Death is endlessly consumed by
men in cities and in literature.
[02:06] D
It is a singular event in one's
life that none may reverse.
[02:10] D
That is what I desire.
[02:14] D
So on that note, barkeep, can
I have a cup of detergent?
[02:17] Bar
We don't have any.
[02:18] D
Oh, okay.
[02:20] D
Then how about a detergent-based cocktail?
[02:22] Bar
We don't have any.
[02:24] Oda
I guess there's nothing
you can do about that.
[02:26] Ango
Odasaku-san, you should've called him out.
[02:30] Ango
It's because you never do
that Dazai-kun goes off the rails.
[02:34] D
Ango!
[02:35] Ango
You should call him out with just about the
force of a hammer hitting the back of his head.
[02:39] Ango
I'm driving today, so tomato juice, please.
[02:42] D
It's been a while.
[02:44] D
Are you on your way back from a job?
[02:45] Ango
It was a bad day.
[02:47] Ango
It took way too much time
to buy smuggled items.
[02:50] Ango
After haggling until eight,
[02:52] Ango
all I have to show for my
efforts is this antique watch.
[02:55] Ango
This concludes about 74%
of transactions for this quarter.
[02:58] Oda
His name is Sakaguchi Ango.
[03:00] Ango
If I account for the 8%
of existing organizations
[03:00] Oda
He is one of the Port Mafia's
intelligence officers.
[03:02] Ango
with which we've never had
any transactions,
[03:03] Oda
Almost all critical and
classified information
[03:03] Ango
our profit has exceeded
last year's by 34%.
[03:06] Oda
pass through Ango when
communicating with outsiders.
[03:09] Ango
Perhaps it is thanks to our youngest
executive in the organization's history.
[03:09] Oda
His head's full of information about the
Port Mafia that's more valuable than gold.
[03:12] {\an8}D
Well, thank you.
[03:13] {\an8}Ango
Of course, this summation includes
today's disastrous deal.
[03:14] Oda
There must be as many enemy organizations
as there are stars in the sky
[03:17] Oda
who wish to torture him for information.
[03:18] Oda
It's a job that requires considerable grit.
[03:21] D
So Ango fuzzed his job, too.
[03:24] Ango
"Fuzzed"?
[03:26] D
Yeah, we're fuzz buddies.
[03:28] D
Come to think of it, it's been a long time
since we first became drinking buddies.
[03:32] D
But I've never heard you
complain about work, Odasaku.
[03:35] Oda
It'd only bore you to hear my stories
[03:37] Oda
as the lowest-ranking member
of the organization.
[03:40] D
There you go being secretive again...
[03:43] D
What'd you do this time?
[03:45] Oda
I punished a kid stealing from a store
[03:47] Oda
in a shopping district that
pays us protection money.
[03:50] Oda
I mediated a tense face-off between
the lover and the wife of one of our
[03:53] Oda
shell company executives.
[03:55] Oda
Lastly, I disposed of a dud that was found
behind one of the Mafia offices.
[03:59] D
Hey, Odasaku!
[04:00] D
Let's change jobs.
[04:02] D
I want to dispose of duds, too!
[04:04] Ango
You wouldn't be able to handle it.
[04:06] Oda
Yeah, you'd get blown up.
[04:07] D
Blown up?
[04:08] D
Hey, did you hear that, Ango?
[04:10] D
He said blown up!
[04:11] D
I'd get blown up!
[04:12] Oda
The kind of jobs that come my
way as the lowest-ranking member
[04:13] D
How far will I get blown away?!
[04:14] Ango
I don't know!
[04:15] Ango
If you'd like, I can blow you up!
[04:16] Oda
are all crap jobs no one
wants to deal with.
[04:19] D
You'd do that for me?
[04:19] Oda
Basically, I'm the organization's handyman.
[04:23] Ango
By the way,
[04:24] Ango
are the two of you here today for a meeting?
[04:28] Oda
Dazai just happened to be
here when I walked in.
[04:31] D
I just had a feeling I'd run into you two
[04:33] D
if I came here tonight.
[04:36] Ango
Did you need something from us?
[04:38] D
Nothing really.
[04:40] D
I just thought
[04:43] D
tonight might become the
usual night if I did come.
[04:47] D
That's all.
[04:51] Ango
What are we toasting?
[04:53] D
Anything's fine.
[04:55] D
I don't really need a reason.
[04:59] Oda
To the stray dogs.
[05:07] DA
To the stray dogs.
[05:11] D
Hey, Ango, do you have a camera
in your bag by any chance?
[05:15] Ango
Yeah, though it's for work.
[05:18] D
Let's take a photo to remember.
[05:21] Ango
To remember?
[05:22] Oda
Remember what?
[05:24] D
That the three of us were gathered here today.
[05:27] Oda
But the three of us are
always drinking here.
[05:30] Ango
As the executive wishes.
[05:33] D
Make sure you take a good photo of me.
[05:35] D
Taking it from this angle
makes me look more manly.
SIGN Dazai Osamu
SIGN Ability: No Longer Human
SIGN Sakaguchi Ango
[05:41] Ango
I don't need my photo taken.
SIGN Ability: Discourse on Decadence
SIGN Oda Sakunosuke
SIGN Ability: Flawless
[05:47] Oda
Why do you want photos all of a sudden?
[05:49] D
I just feel like if we don't do it now,
[05:51] D
there'll be nothing left to show
that we hung out like this.
[05:58] D
Odasaku, the camera.
[06:05] Oda
And it turned out just like he said.
[06:07] Oda
That day became the last
time that we could record
[06:10] Oda
the invisible something we shared
between us in a photograph.
[06:17] Oda
Because one of us died soon after.
[06:26] Oda
The lowest-ranking member would never
[06:28] Oda
enter the Port Mafia headquarters
under normal circumstances.
[06:32] Oda
No one knows what he wants from me,
[06:37] Oda
but, as far as this organization is
concerned, his word is absolute.
[06:47] Oda
I'm Oda.
[06:48] Oda
I am here because I received
a summons from the boss.
[06:59] Oda
I'm Oda.
[07:06] Oda
Boss, it's Oda.
[07:07] Oda
I'm coming in.
[07:09] Ougai
Come on, Elise-chan.
[07:10] Ougai
Please wear the dress.
[07:12] Ougai
Just for a little bit!
[07:13] Ougai
Just put it on for a quick second!
[07:15] Elise
I don't want to!
[07:16] Elise
Never!
[07:17] Ougai
Come on, Elise-chan.
[07:19] Ougai
Please try it on, okay?
[07:20] Ougai
I put a lot of thought into picking it out.
[07:22] Ougai
Look at these crimson frills!
[07:25] Ougai
They're like flower petals!
[07:27] Ougai
I'm sure you'll look great in it.
[07:29] Elise
I don't dislike pretty clothes.
[07:31] Elise
But I hate your desperation, Rintaro!
[07:33] Oda
Boss.
[07:34] Oda
I came under your orders.
[07:50] Ougai
So, Oda-kun.
[07:52] Oda
Yes, Boss.
[07:53] Ougai
You did not see anything, understand?
[07:57] Oda
Yes, I did not see anything.
[07:59] Oda
You made time for someone like me,
[08:02] Oda
even though you were busy getting a
young girl to change her clothes.
[08:05] Oda
Why did you call me here?
[08:07] Ougai
Well...
[08:11] Ougai
Never mind.
[08:12] Ougai
I called you here for one
reason and one reason alone.
[08:15] Ougai
I need you to find someone.
[08:17] Oda
Find someone?
[08:19] Oda
You're asking me, an ordinary member?
[08:21] Ougai
I've heard good things about you.
[08:24] Ougai
I want to ask you specifically
to carry out this job.
[08:27] Ougai
The missing person is Sakaguchi Ango-kun,
an intelligence officer.
[08:33] Ougai
Ango-kun went missing last night.
[08:37] Ougai
He never got home.
[08:39] Ougai
He may have chosen to vanish
of his own free will,
[08:41] Ougai
or he may have been abducted.
We do not know which is the case.
[08:46] Ougai
As you well know, Ango-kun is a
Port Mafia intelligence officer.
[08:50] Ougai
His head is full of secrets
that would be enough
[08:53] Ougai
to crush us if he were to sell
them to other organizations.
[08:58] Ougai
However...
[08:59] Ougai
Even if that were not the case,
[09:01] Ougai
Ango-kun is a competent and
important staff member to me.
[09:04] Ougai
I want to help him if
something has happened.
[09:07] Ougai
This is the Silver Oracle.
[09:09] Ougai
Take it.
[09:11] Ougai
Show this to anyone in the organization,
[09:13] Ougai
and you'll receive some form of assistance.
[09:16] Ougai
You can even order executives around.
[09:19] Ougai
I've heard that you have personal relations
with an executive named Dazai-kun.
[09:24] Ougai
A friendship that surpasses
hierarchical bounds, I see.
[09:27] Ougai
His capabilities are astounding.
[09:30] Ougai
In four, five years,
[09:32] Ougai
I'm sure he'll have killed me
to sit on the throne himself.
[09:42] Ougai
Oda-kun...
[09:43] Oda
Yes, Boss?
[09:45] Ougai
Rumors have it that you've never killed
anyone with that gun of yours.
[09:50] Ougai
Why is that?
[09:52] Oda
Are you commanding me as the leader
of our organization to respond?
[09:56] Ougai
No, it's a personal question.
Just simple curiosity.
[10:00] Oda
Then I prefer not to answer.
[10:06] Ougai
Very well.
[10:07] Ougai
Go.
[10:09] Ougai
I await good news.
[10:14] Hirotsu
Ensure that the city police
do not hear of this.
[10:18] Hirotsu
Call the cleaners, too.
[10:20] Hirotsu
They need to transport the bodies.
[10:22] Hirotsu
Find out if these three have families.
[10:25] Hirotsu
If they do, I'll contact them.
[10:29] Hirotsu
Also, an executive will be here shortly.
[10:32] D
Good morning, everyone!
[10:35] D
Hang on just one second.
[10:36] D
I'm about to clear this difficult level.
[10:39] D
Oh, crap! He's ahead!
[10:41] D
Take this attack!
[10:42] D
Damn, he dodged it!
[10:44] Hirotsu
Dazai-dono, thank you for taking
the trouble to come out here.
[10:46] Hirotsu
Our armory guards were killed.
[10:49] Dazai
It's been a while since we last
[10:50] Dazai
had anyone reckless enough to
target a Port Mafia armory.
[10:53] Hirotsu
Each died on the spot after being hit with
between ten and twenty 9mm rounds.
[10:57] Hirotsu
Firearms were taken from the armory.
[11:00] D
Then I'll go take a look.
[11:01] D
Take care of this, will you?
[11:04] D
Hmm.
[11:04] Hirotsu
I-I wouldn't know what to do right away!
[11:07] D
This many rounds that went
clean through the bodies...
[11:07] Hirotsu
Wh-Which buttons do I press?
[11:09] D
That means a sub-machine gun
was used at close range.
[11:12] D
The assailants were pretty skilled.
[11:14] D
I'm getting my hopes up.
[11:16] D
Do we have surveillance
footage of the warehouse?
[11:21] D
They just look like
vagrants at first glance,
[11:23] D
but they must be well-trained soldiers.
[11:26] D
They are careful about covering
each others' blind spots.
[11:29] D
Still, why take on this appearance?
[11:34] D
Hirotsu-san...
[11:36] Hirotsu
I have no excuse to offer.
[11:38] Hirotsu
If you give me another
chance, I will surely—
[11:41] D
Do you recognize this gun?
[11:44] Hirotsu
It's an old model.
[11:46] Hirotsu
It's older than me.
[11:48] Hirotsu
I think it's a Graugeist.
An old European pistol.
[11:53] D
I saw this gun last night...
[12:00] D
That means they attacked me right
before they hit the armory.
[12:08] D
It must've been a distraction.
[12:12] D
This is interesting.
[12:14] D
They're a far more interesting
bunch than I thought.
[12:18] D
Hirotsu-san, they hit one of the
Port Mafia's best storage units.
[12:24] D
They used the official passcode to get in.
[12:27] D
It's only known to members who
are sub-executives and higher.
[12:31] Hirotsu
Could it mean that we have a traitor?
[12:34] Hirotsu
Don't we know who's behind these attacks?
[12:37] D
My subordinates tortured a hostage
from yesterday to make him talk,
[12:43] D
but he seized an opportunity to kill himself
using a suicide pill hidden in his back tooth.
[12:48] D
But we did manage to learn one thing.
[12:51] D
The organization's name is...
[12:53] D
SIGN Episode 13: The Dark Age
[12:54] D
Mimic.
[13:05] Oda
So Ango lives in a hotel.
[13:28] Oda
Sakaguchi Ango...
[13:31] Oda
An intelligence officer with the Port Mafia.
[13:34] Oda
A mysterious intellectual,
[13:37] Oda
no one knew who you really were.
[13:45] Oda
I don't understand.
[13:52] Oda
A ventilation shaft?
[14:23] Oda
A sniper, huh?
[14:31] Oda
Dazai?
[14:32] D
That's rare, getting a call from you.
[14:35] Oda
I was targeted by a sniper.
[14:36] Oda
In Ango's room.
[14:38] Oda
I'm going after the sniper now.
[14:39] Oda
He's firing from a building across
the Secondhand Books Avenue.
[14:42] D
So you want me to cut his escape route off?
[14:45] Oda
I have the Silver Oracle on hand.
[14:48] Oda
If you need me to, I'll...
[14:48] D
Oh, there's no need.
[14:51] D
Don't push yourself too hard
until I get there.
[15:02] Oda
Don't move.
[15:04] Oda
He was waiting for me
instead of trying to run?
[15:07] Oda
He must be after this safe.
[15:14] D
Odasaku, duck!
[15:26] D
You're quite the troublemaker, Odasaku.
[15:31] Oda
You could have easily killed these
guys in an instant, if you wanted to.
[15:38] Oda
My ability, Flawless,
[15:41] Oda
allows me to see five, six
seconds into the future.
[15:48] Oda
You killed them?
[15:49] D
Not like we would've gotten any
information if we'd taken them hostage.
[15:53] D
After all, they love the
taste of their poison pills.
[15:59] D
I know.
[16:01] D
That's not why you asked.
[16:04] D
But they are trained combat professionals.
[16:07] D
Even you would've been unable
to avoid killing them.
[16:11] Oda
Yeah, I would've ended up
dead if you hadn't come.
[16:14] D
Oda Sakunosuke...
[16:16] D
A curious Port Mafia member
who refuses to kill anyone,
[16:20] D
no matter what the circumstance.
[16:22] D
Because of that troublesome creed,
[16:25] D
you're being used as an errand
boy by the organization
[16:29] D
despite your considerable capabilities.
[16:31] Oda
I've heard that complaint a million times.
[16:35] Oda
More importantly, about this attack.
[16:38] Oda
Who are they?
[16:40] D
Look at his waist.
[16:42] D
He's slinging an old pistol, see?
[16:45] D
It's called a Graugeist.
[16:47] D
Given that it's an old European pistol,
[16:49] D
it has low firing rate and accuracy.
[16:52] D
So it'd only serve to fire warning
shots in a narrow alley like this.
[16:56] D
That pistol probably serves
as their emblem of some sort,
[17:02] D
to indicate who they are.
[17:05] Oda
And who are they?
[17:07] D
Mimic.
[17:08] Oda
Mimic?
[17:10] D
I'm still investigating the specifics.
[17:12] D
But maybe we'll find something
out from the fact
[17:16] D
that they had a sniper watching Ango's room.
[17:18] Oda
They wanted to retrieve this safe.
[17:21] D
A safe?
[17:22] Oda
It was in Ango's room.
[17:24] Oda
But there was no key, and I can't open it.
[17:26] D
Oh, that?
[17:31] D
Let's see.
[17:33] D
Let me try.
[17:38] D
Opened it.
[17:39] Oda
He's sure clever with his hands...
[17:44] Oda
Hey.
[17:46] Oda
Why?
[17:47] Oda
You said this gun was their emblem, right?
[17:50] Oda
A sign of who they are...
[17:53] Oda
If Ango has one, it means...
[17:56] D
This alone is inconclusive.
[17:58] D
Ango may have taken this gun from them,
[18:02] D
or they may have planted
this to implicate him.
[18:09] Oda
You're right.
[18:11] D
But, Odasaku.
[18:13] D
I'll tell you one thing I've noticed.
[18:16] D
Yesterday, when we were drinking at the bar,
[18:18] D
Ango said he was on his way
back from a deal, remember?
[18:21] D
That's probably a lie.
[18:23] Oda
What?
[18:25] D
You saw his bag, right?
[18:27] D
From top to bottom, it had
cigarettes, a folding umbrella,
[18:29] D
a camera, and his prize, the antique watch.
[18:33] D
The umbrella had been used,
and it was wrapped in cloth.
[18:37] D
And his work trip was to Tokyo,
where it had rained.
[18:41] Oda
So his umbrella was wet because
it was raining where he went.
[18:43] Oda
What's odd about that?
[18:45] D
Ango supposedly went there in his car.
[18:49] D
When did he use the umbrella, then?
[18:52] D
It wasn't before the deal,
[18:54] D
because the umbrella was
on top of the clock.
[18:57] D
And it wasn't after the deal, either.
[18:59] Oda
What makes you say that?
[19:00] D
The umbrella was wet enough that it wasn't
used for a mere two or three minutes.
[19:05] D
It must've been used in the rain
for a good thirty minutes or so.
[19:08] D
But despite supposedly being
in the rain for so long,
[19:11] D
his shoes and pants were dry.
[19:14] D
If his deal was at eight and
we met at the bar at ten,
[19:18] D
two hours weren't enough for
his shoes and pants to dry.
[19:22] Oda
Maybe he changed clothes.
[19:24] D
He drove me home in his car,
[19:26] D
but I didn't see any change
of clothes or shoes.
[19:30] D
I think Ango didn't go to a deal.
[19:34] D
He met someone in the rain,
[19:35] D
spoke to them for about thirty minutes,
[19:38] D
and then killed some time
before coming back.
[19:41] D
Intelligence officers like
Ango sometimes choose
[19:43] D
a rainy road for their secret meetings.
[19:47] D
It's more secure than an indoor
space for classified talk.
[19:50] Oda
Ango is the Port Mafia's
classified intelligence officer.
[19:54] Oda
Of course he'd have one or two meetings
he couldn't tell anyone about!
[19:57] D
Then he could've just said
that he couldn't tell us.
[19:59] D
If he had, both you and I wouldn't
have asked any further.
[20:06] D
Don't you agree?
[20:08] Oda
He's right...
[20:10] D
And yet, he even made up an alibi.
[20:13] D
What was the reason that he had to go
to such lengths to hide that meeting?
[20:23] D
Well, you have commendable spirit.
[20:27] D
To tell you the truth,
I hold you all in awe.
[20:31] D
No other organization has managed
to face the Port Mafia head-on.
[20:35] Oda
Dazai!
[20:36] Oda
Don't!
[20:40] D
I hope you can see the joy in my eyes.
[20:46] D
With just a slight press of your finger,
[20:49] D
you can give me what I desire most.
[20:52] D
My only fear is that
you'll miss your target.
[20:56] D
But you won't.
[20:58] D
You're a sniper, aren't you?
[21:00] Oda
Dazai!
[21:01] D
Either way, you'll be killed.
[21:04] D
At least try to kill one of the
enemy executives before you go.
[21:07] Oda
Stop it, Dazai.
[21:08] D
Please, take me with you.
[21:13] D
Wake me from this oxidizing
world of a dream...
[21:16] Oda
Dazai!
[21:29] D
Sorry to shock you.
[21:33] D
It was great acting, wasn't it?
[21:35] Oda
Acting?
[21:36] D
I knew he'd miss.
[21:39] D
His left cheek had the imprint
from the sniper's rifle.
[21:42] D
In other words, he is left-handed.
[21:45] D
He was using his non-dominant right hand,
[21:47] D
and he was so unsteady that
he could barely stand.
[21:51] D
And with that old pistol?
[21:53] D
He wouldn't have succeeded unless he had the
gun pressed up right against my forehead.
[21:57] D
I knew you'd do something if I bought enough
time with talk to tire his arm out.
[22:03] Oda
Just stop, Dazai.
[22:04] Oda
That's enough.
[22:08] D
Odasaku...
[22:14] D
Please find Ango.
[22:18] Oda
Yeah, I know.
