SIGN    It was raining...
[00:03] Oda
    It was raining...
[00:08] (Flashback) Beard
    You're always reading that book, boy.
[00:13] (Flashback) Beard
    Is it that interesting?
[00:15] (Flashback) BoyO
    It's good.
[00:16] (Flashback) BoyO
    I've read it many times now.
[00:19] (Flashback) Beard
    There are so many more
    stories out in the world
[00:22] (Flashback) Beard
    that are far more interesting
    than what's in that book.
[00:24] (Flashback) Beard
    Where's Part Three?
SIGN    Part 2 of 3
[00:28] (Flashback) BoyO
    I don't have Part Three.
[00:30] (Flashback) BoyO
    I've looked and looked,
    but I've never found it.
[00:32] (Flashback) Beard
    Now it all makes sense.
[00:35] (Flashback) Beard
    That story's Part Three is
    the worst of the worst.
[00:39] (Flashback) Beard
    You should consider yourself satisfied
    with just the first two parts.
[00:43] (Flashback) Beard
    I'm saying this for your own good.
[00:45] (Flashback) BoyO
    I'm afraid I can't do that.
[00:47] (Flashback) Beard
    Then you write it.
[00:51] (Flashback) BoyO
    Me, write?
[00:52] (Flashback) Beard
    That's the only way you can
    keep that story perfect.
SIGN    Part 2 of 3
[00:58] (Flashback) Beard
    To write a story is
    to write about a person,
[01:02] (Flashback) Beard
    and how that person should live and die.
[01:06] (Flashback) Beard
    From what I've seen,
    you have the qualifications.
[01:10] (Flashback) BoyO
    Who are you?
[01:13] (Flashback) Beard
    Me?
[01:16] (Flashback) Beard
    My name is...
[01:26] D
    Are you awake, Odasaku?
[01:30] D
    How do you feel?
[01:32] O
    I feel like I'm experiencing
    all the hangovers I'll have
[01:34] O
    in the next fifty years
    all at the same time.
[01:38] O
    I saw Ango at the place you told me about.
[01:42] D
    So Ango was there, like I suspected.
[01:46] O
    Yeah.
[01:48] O
    He vanished into the dark
    with soldiers in black.
[01:53] D
    Sounds like black special ops.
[01:58] D
    It seems recent events can be
    divided into two categories.
[02:03] O
    Are they a separate organization from Mimic?
[02:06] D
    They're different.
[02:07] D
    But we can pretty much ignore the
    black special ops guys for now.
[02:11] D
    Mimic is the more dangerous enemy.
[02:14] D
    Akutagawa-kun and other
    combat squad members
[02:18] D
    are dealing with conflicts in the city,
[02:22] D
    but we don't even know what the
    enemy leader's ability is.
[02:26] D
    We're at a disadvantage.
[02:27] O
    That Akutagawa is one of your
    subordinates, isn't he?
[02:32] O
    I heard his ability has high
    offensive capabilities.
[02:36] D
    He's a naked sword without a scabbard.
[02:38] D
    I'm sure he'll become the strongest
    gifted mafia member in the near future but,
[02:42] D
    right now, he needs someone to
    teach him how to sheathe his blade.
[02:47] D
    Sorry, that was a tangent.
[02:49] D
    This morning, the council of five
    top executives convened.
[02:52] D
    They made a decision to attack Mimic
[02:54] D
    with everything
    the Port Mafia can muster.
[02:57] D
    Just now,
[02:59] D
    my subordinates, including Akutagawa-kun,
     were hit by a surprise attack.
[03:02] D
    They're still fighting at the art museum.
[03:05] D
    Odasaku?
[03:06] D
    You're not serious about going, are you?
[03:08] O
    We're hitting them with
    everything we've got, right?
[03:11] D
    I didn't think you'd be interested in conflict, since you don't kill people.
    
[03:16] O
    I'm not.
[03:18] D
    Then why?
[03:20] O
    I've acquired a lot of debts in my life.
[03:24] O
    If your subordinates are in a tough spot,
[03:26] O
    they need help.
[03:31] D
    You should forget about your debts.
SIGN    Episode 15: Some Day in a Room with a Seaside View
[03:35] D
    No one remembers what you owe to them.
[03:59] Aku
    Guns are the weapons of fools.
[04:08] Aku
    All too weak.
[04:10] Gide
    So you're the one they speak of...
    The gifted one in black.
[04:15] Aku
    Who are you?
[04:20] G
    My name is Gide.
[04:22] G
    I am the leader of Mimic.
[04:24] Aku
    He will never acknowledge me,
    no matter how many underlings I defeat.
[04:30] Aku
    I'd like to challenge you.
[04:32] G
    I'd like to ask a question.
[04:34] G
    Is your ability sufficient to release
    our souls from original sin?
[04:40] Aku
    Want to find out?!
[04:44] Aku
    You're not getting away!
[04:49] G
    It seems you are not the one.
[04:56] Aku
    Impossible!
[04:57] Aku
    Is this an ability?!
[04:59] Aku
    Bastard!
[05:01] Aku
    Can you read my moves?!
[05:21] G
    In a few more years,
[05:23] G
    you may have grown powerful
     enough to grant our wish,
[05:28] G
    but we cannot wait.
[05:30] Aku
    Kill me.
[05:31] Aku
    Defeat means death.
[05:34] Aku
    I regret that I could not
    be the enemy you wanted.
[05:39] G
    Farewell.
[05:52] O
    Did you get shot in the leg?
[05:54] Aku
    Hey!
[05:55] Aku
    What do you think you're doing?!
[05:58] Aku
    Let me down!
[05:59] Aku
    Let me go!
[06:01] O
    I'm Oda Sakunosuke.
[06:03] O
    I heard about you from
    Dazai and came to help.
[06:17] Aku
    I've heard of you from Dazai-san.
[06:21] Aku
    You're one of the lower-ranking members.
[06:23] O
    That's right.
[06:25] Aku
    And I heard you're a friend to him.
[06:28] Aku
    Is that true?
[06:30] O
    I have a policy of not using
    that word lightly.
[06:35] Aku
    Dazai-san said
[06:38] Aku
    I wouldn't stand a chance against you,
     not in a hundred years.
[06:41] O
    Now's not the time to be having a falling out.
[06:44] Aku
    Why...
[06:46] Aku
    Why doesn't Dazai-san...
[06:51] Aku
    Are you the same?!
[06:54] O
    Sorry.
[06:55] O
    I have to bring you back,
[06:58] O
    especially for a friend who
    has high hopes for you.
[07:05] G
    I did have a premonition.
[07:07] Oda
    What are you talking about?
[07:08] G
    I had a premonition that I'd be able to
    meet the person I seek in this country.
[07:13] G
    I am Gide.
[07:15] G
    I came here in search of the one who can
    release the souls of ghosts like us.
[07:19] O
    I can get you a discount with an
    undertaker I know if you want.
[07:24] G
    There is no need.
[07:26] G
    I just found the one we were looking for.
[07:40] O
    What?
[07:43] G
    What's the matter?
[07:44] G
    I haven't even fired a single round.
[07:47] O
    What did you do?!
[07:49] G
    I just saw a future where you
    would dodge to the right.
[07:53] G
    Therefore, I adjusted my aim.
[07:56] G
    But you saw that future,
    so you adjusted as well.
[08:00] G
    Which I also saw.
[08:03] G
    The ability to see a few seconds into the
    future if you are to be in any danger...
[08:07] G
    I can do what you can do.
[08:11] G
    The predictive ability
    we have is omnipotent.
[08:15] G
    You are the only one who can
    kill me and end this war.
[08:20] G
    If you are one of the Port Mafia,
[08:22] G
    killing me, the enemy leader,
    must be your greatest desire.
[08:26] O
    No thanks.
[08:28] O
    I'm only here to help one of my own.
[08:31] G
    What?
[08:32] G
    You're not one of the mafia?
[08:35] O
    There are different types in the mafia.
[08:37] G
    Guns are tools for murder!
[08:39] G
    And this is a war zone!
[08:42] O
    I'm not interested in fighting.
[08:45] O
    What I'm interested in is living.
[08:49] G
    There is nothing more important
    in life than death!
[09:09] G
    Good, that's how it should be...
[09:12] G
    What?!
[09:16] G
    Are you refusing to fight me, then?
[09:20] O
    There is a reason I don't kill.
[09:22] O
    Look elsewhere.
[09:24] G
    Why?!
[09:26] G
    My subordinates and I have been
    wandering the whole world like ghosts,
[09:31] G
    looking for a place worthy of our deaths.
[09:34] G
    You are our only wish.
[09:37] G
    Fight me!
[09:39] G
    If you refuse—
[09:40] O
    The reason I can't do as you wish
[09:42] O
    is because I have a dream.
[09:45] O
    Some day when I can quit the
    Port Mafia and become a free man,
[09:50] O
    I want to sit down at a desk in a room
    where I can see the sea, and...
[09:56] (Flashback) Beard
    Then you write it.
[09:59] (Flashback) Beard
    That's the only way you can
    keep that story perfect.
[10:05] O
    I want to become a writer.
[10:07] O
    I want to throw the gun aside,
[10:09] O
    and only have pen and paper.
[10:12] O
    One man told me that to write
    a story is to write a person.
[10:18] O
    A man who takes lives
    cannot write about lives.
[10:22] O
    That's why I won't kill.
[10:25] G
    And that's the reason why you
    refuse to enter our battle?
[10:30] G
    So that's your answer?
[10:33] O
    That's right.
[10:52] O
    Stop!
[10:53] G
    A bullet-proof vest.
[10:56] G
    That pain that is a privilege of the living.
[10:59] G
    It's something we lost long ago.
[11:02] G
    We are already dead.
[11:05] G
    We're just soulless husks
    being controlled by ghosts.
[11:10] O
    You're not dead.
[11:12] O
    I don't know what happened
    to you in the past,
[11:15] O
    but you can still think
    about how you want to die.
[11:18] G
    Why won't you understand?!
[11:20] G
    You are the only...
[11:26] G
    You will not kill me.
[11:29] G
    That's because you don't understand my wish.
[11:32] G
    And I won't kill you right now,
[11:35] G
    because you are the only one who can guide
    us to the battlefield of purification.
[11:40] G
    I will make you understand
    who we really are.
[11:45] G
    Then you will understand
[11:47] G
    that, between the two of us,
    there can be only one.
[11:52] G
    You should look forward to it.
[12:03] G
    
[13:25] D
    The night is a good time.
[13:27] D
    It's a time that belongs to the Port Mafia.
[13:29] O
    What now?
[13:32] D
    I don't know.
[13:34] D
    That was quite some trouble
    you got into, though.
[13:36] D
    Who would've thought that the enemy leader
[13:38] D
    you'd just met would turn
    into such an earnest suitor?
[13:41] O
    They're weird, looking for war so that they
    can find a place worthy of their deaths.
[13:47] D
    Are they?
[13:48] D
    Their wish to be creative about their deaths
    is something I hadn't thought about.
[13:53] O
    How long will this conflict last?
[13:56] D
    Mimic's soldiers aside,
[13:58] D
    their leader's ability is a nuisance.
[14:01] D
    Surprise attacks won't work.
[14:03] D
    That means we need inside info.
[14:06] D
    Any leads you can think of?
[14:09] O
    Only Ango.
[14:11] D
    I agree.
[14:14] O
    I wonder if there's some
    way we can find Ango.
[14:17] D
    There is.
[14:18] O
    There is?
[14:21] D
    To be more precise,
[14:23] D
    there is no need to find him.
[14:26] O
    Here?
[14:29] D
    Where else?
[14:38] Ango
    Hey there.
[14:40] Ango
    I started without you.
[14:45] O
    You could've called.
[14:49] Ango
    I had a hard time losing my tail.
[14:52] Ango
    But today's fine.
[14:54] Ango
    I can spend as much time as I want here.
[14:56] Ango
    Well?
[14:57] Ango
    How'd you know to find me here?
[15:00] D
    Just a hunch, I suppose.
[15:04] Ango
    I'm lucky.
[15:06] Ango
    I didn't think I could drink here again.
[15:10] D
    You're pretty sentimental for a mole.
[15:15] D
    Even before you joined the Port Mafia,
    you had a different identity.
[15:20] D
    And that's as a secret agent of the state.
[15:22] D
    You were an agent of the
    Ministry of Internal Affairs'
[15:23] D
    gifted special operations division.
[15:26] D
    Your mission was to monitor the Port Mafia.
[15:29] D
    Though the division oversees
    all gifted within the nation,
[15:33] D
    should there ever be an all-out
    war with the Port Mafia,
[15:35] D
    the division will suffer heavy casualties.
[15:37] D
    The division's primary purpose is to
    manage, not annihilate, the gifted.
[15:41] D
    That's why they had an agent infiltrate the
    Port Mafia and monitor their movements.
[15:49] D
    Then Mimic came up at the table.
[15:54] D
    The gifted criminal organization
    had been planning to enter Japan.
[15:58] D
    They were a headache for the division,
[16:01] D
    so the division decided to have you
    monitor Mimic... as the Port Mafia's spy.
[16:08] Ango
    As a lowly salaried government worker,
[16:11] Ango
    it was a job entirely above my pay grade.
[16:14] O
    So, in other words,
[16:16] O
    Ango wasn't a double agent,
    but a triple agent.
[16:26] D
    Tell us about Mimic.
[16:29] Ango
    I heard Gide and Odasaku-san traded blows.
[16:34] Ango
    Did you see Gide's ability?
[16:36] O
    I did.
[16:38] Ango
    Gide is elusive, and his location
    is never made known to us.
[16:42] Ango
    The brass intends to let the
    Port Mafia handle this case.
[16:46] D
    Well, that's very convenient for them.
[16:49] D
    But even the Port Mafia would have a
    hard time dealing with his ability.
[16:55] D
    Of course,
[16:57] D
    that's if we don't consider a certain
    lowest-ranking member in the organization.
[17:01] O
    Both our abilities only entail looking
    a few seconds into the future.
[17:08] O
    If push comes to shove,
[17:09] O
    the outcome will be dependent on
    our skills in combat and shooting.
[17:13] Ango
    The unknown variables will matter a lot.
[17:16] Ango
    There's also "the singularity
    of the ability" to consider.
[17:19] O
    The singularity of the ability?
[17:21] Ango
    Didn't something unusual happen when
    you used your ability against Gide?
[17:39] O
    Yeah, it did.
[17:41] Ango
    The government has observed that
    when some abilities interact,
[17:47] Ango
    they may careen off into an entirely
    unexpected direction in rare cases.
[17:54] Ango
    I wasn't really supposed to tell you that.
[17:59] Ango
    It'd become a major issue if the brass were
    to know that I am meeting you like this.
[18:05] Ango
    I'll have to go underground
    for the time being.
[18:07] D
    Well, well...
[18:09] D
    You're talking as though you
    will leave this place alive.
[18:13] O
    Are you planning to make this a war zone?
[18:16] Ango
    It's my fault.
[18:20] Ango
    I was wrong.
[18:22] Ango
    I selfishly thought that here,
[18:24] Ango
    I could actually meet with you two
    without having to consider my position.
[18:28] D
    Ango.
[18:31] D
    Go before I change my mind.
[18:35] D
    I'm not sad.
[18:37] D
    I knew this from the beginning.
[18:40] D
    Whether you were with the gifted
    special operations division or not,
[18:43] D
    anything I would never want
    to lose is always lost.
[18:47] D
    It is a given that everything
    that is worth wanting
[18:49] D
    will be lost the moment I obtain it.
[18:55] D
    There's nothing worth pursuing at the
    cost of prolonging a life of suffering.
[19:07] Ango
    Dazai-kun, Odasaku-san...
[19:10] Ango
    If there ever comes a time when the division
     and the Port Mafia don't exist
[19:15] Ango
    and we all become freer men,
[19:18] Ango
    let's come back here and—
[19:19] O
    Don't say it, Ango.
[19:23] O
    Don't say anything more.
[20:25] O
    What?
[20:28] O
    Mister!
[20:33] O
    Kosuke!
[20:34] O
    Katsumi!
[20:35] O
    Yu!
[20:36] O
    Shinju!
[20:38] O
    Sakura!
[20:44] O
    A map?
[21:11] O
    My throat hurt.
[21:13] O
    I couldn't breathe.
[21:16] O
    I heard someone screaming.
[21:19] O
    I realized, because my throat hurt so much,
    that I was the one who was screaming.
[21:28] (Flashback) Beard
    Then you write it.
[21:31] (Flashback) Beard
    That's the only way you can
    keep that story perfect.
[21:37] O
    I can't write it anymore.
[21:42] O
    I can no longer write a story.
