SIGN    Now, why don't you come with me, tiger boy?
[00:01] A
    Now, why don't you come with me, tiger boy?
[00:07] Atsushi
    It's happening again.
[00:10] Atsushi
    Yet again, I'm...
[00:13] Kyouka
    Wait.
[00:17] Francis
    Weren't you with the Port Mafia?
[00:20] Kyouka
    I'm not.
[00:21] Kyouka
    My name is Kyouka.
[00:23] Kyouka
    I'm with the Agency.
[00:27] Francis
    What a barbaric nation.
[00:29] Francis
    For such a young girl to be so...
[00:32] Francis
    You, wait!
[00:36] Francis
    Oh, dear.
[00:41] Atsushi
    I've been looking for you.
[00:43] Atsushi
    Where were you all this time?
[00:45] Kyouka
    In alleyways and slums.
[00:47] Kyouka
    Where I used to be.
[00:50] Kyouka
    But I didn't belong there anymore.
[00:55] Kyouka
    I called the city police
    from the shop phone.
[00:59] Kyouka
    It won't be so easy for the
    Guild with the police around.
[01:03] Atsushi
    Kyouka-chan...
[01:05] Atsushi
    You could have stayed out of the war
    if you just stayed missing.
[01:11] Kyouka
    The Agency is my only home.
[01:15] (Flashback) Kouyou
    Kyouka will soon kill many people.
[01:19] (Flashback) Kouyou
    So long as her abilities are
    darkly entangled within her soul,
[01:23] (Flashback) Kouyou
    she will never escape the darkness.
[01:27] Kyouka
    For the first time in my life,
    I aspire to be something.
[01:31] Kyouka
    So I will fight.
[01:33] Kyouka
    Even if that means I have to use
    everything that lurks within me.
[01:40] Kyouka
    They're here.
[03:12] Atsushi
    Excuse me.
[03:14] A
    What happened?
[03:16] Atsushi
    We were attacked with weapons.
[03:19] A
    What?
[03:20] A
    Captain!
[03:22] B
    Unit 07 here, calling headquarters.
[03:25] C
    Headquarters.
[03:27] C
    Your location?
[03:29] B
    Dock Three.
[03:30] C
    We have information that a serial
    murderer is on the loose in that area.
[03:35] C
    A girl of fourteen, dressed in Japanese clothes.
[03:37] C
    I repeat.
[03:38] C
    We have information that a serial
    murderer is on the loose in that area.
[03:42] C
    A girl of fourteen, dressed in Japanese clothes.
[03:45] B
    How old are you, miss?
[03:49] B
    Headquarters, we—
[03:53] A
    Captain!
[03:59] Atsushi
    How could you do that?
[04:01] Atsushi
    Captain!
[04:02] Atsushi
    Hang in there, Captain!
[04:04] Atsushi
    Requesting backup!
[04:08] A
    Flawless.
[04:11] A
    Even the target's escape
    measures are accounted for.
[04:15] A
    Miss Louisa's strategy proposals
    are perfect, as always.

    Good work, Mark.
[04:37] Francis
    Well then, my little princess,
    I'm taking your boyfriend.
[04:43] Kyouka

    but allow me to give you some
    life advice, my little princess.
[05:13] Francis
    You aren't cut out for helping people.
[05:17] Francis
    I assume you understand
    what you are cut out for.
[05:28] Kyouka
    Why?
[05:30] Kyouka
    Why did you show me the light?
[05:34] Kyouka
    Why did you give me hope?

    You're under arrest on

[05:50] Kyouka
    Please don't give me any more light.
SIGN    And a week has passed...
[06:00] Q
    Let's play.
[06:01] Q
    What should we do?
[06:03] Q
    It's so fun being outside.
[06:05] Q
    There's one!
[06:08] Q
    Hey, Mister, let's have fun.
[06:12] Q
    You're from the Guild, aren't you?
[06:15] Lovecraft
    Have fun?
[06:17] Lovecraft
    With a child?
[06:26] Lovecraft
    Here you are, a dachshund.
[06:29] Q
    No thanks.
[06:31] Q
    Okay, now it's my turn.
[06:33] Q
    Boop, boop, boop!
[06:35] Q
    Ta-da.
[06:37] Q
    Look, you get that handprint
    when you hurt me.
[06:41] Q
    Now, show me, Mister...
[06:45] Q
    Show me complete madness.
[06:48] Lovecraft
    I don't get it.
[06:52] Lovecraft
    Is this what you mean by madness?
[07:05] Francis
    You've been sleeping well, pastor.
[07:10] Nathaniel
    Lord Francis.
[07:12] Francis
    How do you feel?
[07:14] Nathaniel
    Where's Margaret?
[07:19] Francis
    In critical condition.
[07:20] Francis
    She may never wake up.
[07:26] Nathaniel
    What a foolish woman.
[07:29] Nathaniel
    She protected me in the end.
[07:32] Nathaniel
    That's how I survived.
[07:36] Nathaniel
    Margaret said she would take
    back her family's honor.
[07:41] Nathaniel
    So why...
[07:43] Francis
    She joined the operation in
    order to repay her family's
[07:46] Francis
    massive debt and re-establish
    their reputation.
[07:50] Francis
    Alas, that's nothing more
    than a fleeting dream.
[07:54] Nathaniel
    It was never fleeting.
[07:56] Nathaniel
    Not until you made it so, Lord Francis.
[07:59] Francis
    What?
[08:00] Nathaniel
    I will depend on you no longer.
[08:03] Nathaniel
    I will take back her honor myself.
[08:09] Francis
    Ms. Louisa.
[08:11] Francis
    Show me the emergency plan.
[08:14] Louisa
    But that plan will cause a
    lot of collateral damage.
[08:18] Louisa
    It'll turn Yokohama into a sea of flames.
[08:20] Francis
    Everything here belongs to me.
[08:23] Francis
    The ship, the desk, the pens,
    the window dressing...
[08:28] Francis
    And you and my other people, too, of course.
[08:31] Francis
    Thus, I won't allow my people
    to be hurt any more.
[08:35] Francis
    As you are my property,
    I have the right to protect you.
[08:41] Francis
    Notify everyone that the
    emergency plan is in effect.
[08:44] Louisa
    Y-Yes, sir.
[08:45] Francis
    I'll end this in the blink of an eye.
[08:52] Lovecraft
    Dachshund.
[08:57] A
    Hey, how's it coming?
[09:00] Q
    My body...
[09:01] Q
    It hurts.
[09:03] A
    Well, if you're looking for someone to blame,
    try the officers who made this emergency plan,
[09:08] A
    or yourself for coming up with the foolish
     idea of trying to destroy Lovecraft's mind.
[09:13] Q
    I'll kill you.
[09:15] Q
    I'll kill you!
[09:17] Q
    Ow!
[09:23] Francis
    Are you enjoying your
    cruise on the Moby Dick?
[09:30] A
    Excuse me.
[09:37] Atsushi
    Why is she here?
[09:38] Francis
    Oh, Ms. Lucy?
[09:41] Francis
    She has no strategic value, given that her
    trick's known now, but she insisted on staying.
[09:50] Francis
    Now, where were we?
[09:53] Francis
    We're looking for a book.
[09:56] Atsushi
    A book?
[09:57] Francis
    There's only a single copy in the world.
[10:00] Francis
    It's said to be impervious to any degree
    of firepower or special abilities.
[10:05] Francis
    Someone with a gift foresaw that it would
    be found sealed away here in Yokohama.
[10:11] Atsushi
    What does that book have to do with me?
[10:13] Francis
    You're literally the tiger
    beetle... The guide post.
[10:20] Francis
    In fact, I brought you here because
[10:22] Francis
    I couldn't have you turning to ashes
    along with the rest of the city.
[10:25] Atsushi
    What?
[10:26] Francis
    The Gifted Special Operations
    Division is neutralized.
[10:29] Francis
    All that's left is the Armed Detective
    Agency and the Port Mafia.
[10:32] Francis
    These two organizations
    happen to be quite a pain.
[10:35] Francis
    We've decided to burn down the entire city.
[10:38] Francis
    It'll make our search easier as well.
[10:41] Atsushi
    No one has such a powerful gift!
[10:44] Francis
    Does this not look familiar?
[10:48] A
    Said emergency plan is, basically,
    a combo of our two abilities.
[10:55] A
    My gift gives me the ability to share
    senses between a host and other trees,
[10:59] A
    across my vines.
[11:01] A
    I've connected every tree
    in Yokohama to you.
[11:05] A
    The unwitting go on as usual,
    walking on the roots,
[11:09] A
    hitting the trunks,
    and cutting down branches.
[11:12] A
    That pain is being sent
    into you as we speak.
[11:18] A
    Now, it's time for a quiz.
[11:20] A
    What do you think will happen to the city
    if you engage your curse right now?
[11:25] Francis
    The moment I rip this doll's head off,
    roughly 20 percent of the town will be cursed.
[11:33] Francis
    This is the emergency plan.
[11:35] Francis
    Also known as the Yokohama
    Incineration Operation.
[11:39] Francis
    Your town will be destroyed,
    all because of you.
[11:44] Q
    Why?
[11:46] Q
    I never asked for this ability.
[11:51] Q
    So why do all these terrible
    things happen because of me?
[11:55] Q
    Isn't everyone equal in
    the eyes of the Lord?
[11:58] A
    You're right.
[12:00] A
    But this is the world we live in.
[12:03] A
    So let me tell you the truth:
[12:06] A
    God exists.
[12:08] A
    But He doesn't love you.
[12:11] Q
    No!
[12:12] Q
    No! No!
[12:14] Q
    I'll burn this world down!
[12:16] Q
    I'll curse it!
[12:17] Q
    I'll curse it!
[12:18] Q
    I'll curse it!
[12:27] A
    Say, dear.
[12:29] B
    Yes?
[12:30] A
    Did you always have that scar?
[12:37] Francis
    Looks like it's begun.
[12:39] Francis
    All I need to do now is to destroy
    this doll and trigger the ability.
[12:44] Atsushi
    Okay!
[12:46] Atsushi
    I surrender!
[12:47] Atsushi
    The Agency and I will help
    you unconditionally.
[12:51] Atsushi
    So please don't destroy the doll!
[12:54] Francis
    I see.
[12:56] Francis
    That is an interesting proposal.
[12:58] Francis
    Very well. Let's form a
    cooperative framework.
[13:02] Francis
    But only with the survivors.
[13:12] A
    Damn, traffic jam.
[13:14] B
    It's so peaceful.
[13:16] A
    How is it peaceful?
[13:19] A
    What the hell?!
[13:20] B
    Minoura-san!
[13:26] Atsushi
    Let me out!
[13:27] Atsushi
    Damn it.
[13:31] Atsushi
    The city... I need to do something.
[13:32] Lucy
    Oh my, I came to check on you
    on my way to the garbage.
[13:36] Lucy
    This is a pleasant sight.
[13:38] Atsushi
    You're...
[13:39] Atsushi
    Please.
[13:40] Atsushi
    Let me out of here.
[13:41] Lucy
    No way.
[13:43] Lucy
    I hate privileged people like you.
[13:46] Lucy
    Maybe you'll know how I feel
[13:48] Lucy
    when the city burns down and you're
    discarded like this useless doll.
[13:56] Atsushi
    I know your pain well.
[14:00] Lucy
    Don't talk like you know!
[14:02] Lucy
    Have you washed dishes all
    day with bloody fingers?
[14:06] Lucy
    Have you ever been tortured
    with a hot iron poker?
[14:09] Lucy
    Do you have any idea how much pain
    and agony these scars give me?
[14:16] Atsushi
    On the first day, it's the bone that hurts.
[14:20] Atsushi
    But it's the third day
    that it hurts the most.
[14:25] Atsushi
    The burn chafes every time you move.
[14:26] Atsushi
    It hurts like hell.
[14:29] Atsushi
    I was there, too.
[14:32] Atsushi
    I know your fear and loneliness well.
[14:35] Atsushi
    But loneliness wasn't a king
    lording over us forever.
[14:41] Atsushi
    Loneliness is just a soft, puffy cloud
    forming and vanishing on a whim.
[14:46] Atsushi
    Many people on the ground
    carry wounds the way we do.
[14:51] Atsushi
    Abandon them, and you're
    abandoning your past self.
[15:00] Atsushi
    Is that what you want?
[15:05] Atsushi
    Where am I?
[15:06] Lucy
    It's too late.
[15:08] Lucy
    Yokohama's done.
[15:09] Atsushi
    No, there's still a way.
[15:13] Atsushi
    Dazai-san only needs to touch
    the doll to end the curse.
[15:17] Lucy
    Are you stupid?
[15:19] Lucy
    We're in the sky.
[15:21] Lucy
    How do you think you're
    going to give him the doll?
[15:28] Lucy
    I see.
[15:30] Lucy
    You're doing it.
[15:32] Lucy
    You'll get shot and killed by anti-air guns.
[15:34] Lucy
    Or you'll hit the ground and die.
[15:37] Lucy
    Or you'll get shredded up by
    the madmen on the ground.
[15:40] Lucy
    You know those are your only options,
    and you're still going to do it.
[15:44] Atsushi
    There was an old book at the orphanage.
[15:48] Atsushi
    It said, "I've never regretted
    anything I've done."
[15:54] Atsushi
    "I've only ever regretted the
    things that I didn't do."
[16:00] Atsushi
    What was the name of the author?
[16:10] Lucy
    It's a parachute.
[16:12] Lucy
    I kept one hidden in case
    I needed to escape.
[16:15] Lucy
    I connected the white door
    to Moby Dick's plating.
[16:19] Atsushi
    Really?
[16:20] Atsushi
    The Guild won't let you
    off for letting me go.
[16:25] Lucy
    I've always been lonely.
[16:27] Lucy
    Besides, as long as I'm
    in this room, I'm safe.
[16:41] Atsushi
    Hey, are you really going to be safe?
[16:46] Atsushi
    I know you're invulnerable in this room.
[16:49] Atsushi
    But doesn't that mean you
    can never leave this room?
[16:56] Lucy
    You're so dense.
[16:59] Lucy
    It's just an excuse.
[17:02] Lucy
    Live.
[17:04] Lucy
    And save me from this place someday.
[17:10] Lucy
    I'll be waiting.
[17:13] Atsushi
    All right.
[17:18] A
    The tiger has escaped.
[17:20] A
    To your stations!
[17:22] A
    I repeat.
[17:22] A
    The tiger has escaped.
[17:24] Francis
    Prepare anti-air cannons.
[17:30] Atsushi
    It's...
[17:36] A
    Control the traffic!
[17:38] A
    We won't have anywhere left to do business.
[17:42] A
    Protect it with your life!
[17:44] Atsushi
    I see.
[17:46] Atsushi
    So that's what's happening.
[17:51] Mark
    Now, then.
[17:53] Mark
    Mark here can hit a falling
    target, no problem.
[18:01] Tom
    Peek-a-boo.
[18:03] Atsushi
    What the...
[18:07] Huck
    Tom has captured the target.
[18:09] Mark
    Good boy, Tom!
[18:11] Mark
    All right, Huck, load the second shell.
[18:14] Huck
    Yes, sir.
[18:15] Huck
    Trajectory and firing velocity, check.
[18:17] Huck
    Compensating for relative velocity
    with target body, check.
[18:24] Tom
    Huck's shot ripped through the parachute.
[18:27] Mark
    Yeah!
[18:29] Mark
    So, how's the tiger boy?
[18:31] Tom
    Passed out from the blast.
[18:33] Tom
    It looks like he's going to hit the
    ground and be smashed to bits.
[18:36] Tom
    What happened to your order not to kill him?
[18:38] Mark
    I'm sure his own country's gifteds will
    figure it out, as long as his body's still there.
[18:47] Atsushi
    So I really am no use.
[18:50] Atsushi
    There's nothing I can do.
[18:57] Atsushi
    It's you.
[18:59] Atsushi
    Of course.
[19:04] Atsushi
    You despise me, don't you?
[19:13] Atsushi
    I hate me, too.
[19:24] Atsushi
    Thanks for everything.
[19:47] Atsushi
    I'm alive.
[19:51] Atsushi
    I have to deliver it!
[20:10] Atsushi
    I need to stop it immediately.
[20:16] Mark
    Amazing.
[20:17] Mark
    He survived a huge fall, and my rain of
    bullets won't so much as scratch him.
[20:22] Tom
    I guess he's that desperate
    to deliver that gross doll.
[20:25] Mark
    This isn't a hunt, then.
[20:28] Mark
    This is a duel between two men.
[20:32] Atsushi
    What?
[20:33] Atsushi
    Has that thing always been here?
[20:36] Mark
    I don't recommend losing
    your focus, tiger boy.
[20:40] Mark
    There's no telling from which
    way trouble will come.
[20:43] Atsushi
    An oil truck!
[20:57] Mark
    It's over.
[21:07] A
    Stop resisting.
[21:10] A
    You've reached your limit.
[21:13] Atsushi
    Shut up.
[21:37] Dazai
    You win, Atsushi-kun.
[21:40] ---
    Dazai-san...
[21:43] Atsushi
    It's dangerous here.
[21:44] Atsushi
    They'll shoot you from above.
[21:46] ---
    I wonder about that.
[21:54] Mark
    Smoke?
[21:55] Tom
    That's not all.
[21:56] Tom
    Heat sensors and radars disabled.
[21:59] Tom
    It's a sensor jammer.
[22:01] Mark
    He's been setting them up all over town
    believing he'd be coming with the doll?
[22:11] Mark
    You got me.
[22:14] Dazai
    Good job, Atsushi-kun.
[22:16] Dazai
    Yokohama is saved.
[22:20] Dazai
    Or so I wish.
[22:23] Dazai
    But as long as the enemy have Q,
[22:25] Dazai
    they'll repeat this carnage
    as many times as they need.
[22:29] Dazai
    Now, what do we do?
[22:33] Atsushi
    Dazai-san, I'm reminded of a line
    from a book I read a long time ago.
[22:41] Atsushi
    "The head may err, but never the blood."
[22:48] Atsushi
    I have an idea.
[22:52] Atsushi
    It may seem out of the
    question to everyone else.
[22:55] Atsushi
    Yet to me, to my blood and soul,
    it seems like the only correct answer.
[23:02] Dazai
    What's the idea?
[23:04] Atsushi
    An alliance.
[23:07] Atsushi
    They're the most powerful in Yokohama,
    and they're trying to defend this city.
[23:13] Atsushi
