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.

[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.
