SIGN    What comes after knowing the evil within...
[00:33] Fukuzawa
    Blood stains...
[01:00] Fukuzawa
    The trail stops at this puddle.
[01:06] Fukuzawa
    What a dangerous night.
[01:13] Fukuzawa
    What a curious skill, kicking nothing
    but air to change direction.
[01:19] Mask
    Death to the gifted.
[01:21] Mask
    An eternal slumber in the soil,
    from which there is no awakening.
[01:25] Fukuzawa
    A gifted-hunter.
[01:27] Fukuzawa
    If I'm not your only target,
[01:31] Fukuzawa
    I'll have to stop you.
[01:34] Mask
    You can't reach me.
[01:36] Mask
    You'll never reach me.
[01:39] Mask
    No matter how masterful you
    may be in martial arts,
[01:41] Mask
    you can't evade an attack
     outside of your awareness.
[01:49] Fukuzawa
    An attack from an empty dead-end...
[01:52] Mask
    You seem to have detected my bloodlust.
[01:55] Mask
    But this is adequate.
[01:58] Mask
    Inescapable death awaits everywhere.
[02:02] Mask
    For example, by gunshot,
    by disease, by loneliness,
[02:07] Mask
    and by poison.
[02:18] Fukuzawa
    Stop!
[02:27] Mask
    It is a good, moonlit night to die.

    The Masked
    Assassin
[04:05] Atsushi
    Is it true that the president was attacked?!
[04:07] Kunikida
    Yeah.
[04:08] Kunikida
    He survived, but he's unconscious
    and suffering mysterious symptoms.
[04:13] Kunikida
    He isn't improving, even with
    Yosano-sensei's abilities.
[04:18] Dazai
    There have been a lot of
    similar attacks recently.
[04:24] Dazai
    Gifted being attacked at night,
    with no one around to see.
[04:27] Dazai
    Some have already died.
[04:30] Kunikida
    What do we know about the attacker?
[04:32] Dazai
    Only that they use an unknown ability
[04:35] Dazai
    and that they wear a mask.
[04:38] Kunikida
    A masked assassin.
[04:40] Dazai
    Of course, the attacker may be dead
    before we start running around.
[04:47] Dazai
    Atsushi-kun, which organization do
    you think stands to lose the most
[04:51] Dazai
    if a gifted-killer were to
    go on a massacre in town?
[04:56] Dazai
    The Gifted Special Operations Division.
[04:58] Dazai
    In this town, it's the opposite.
[05:00] Dazai
    It's the Port Mafia.
[05:03] Dazai
    For the Port Mafia, masters of the night,
[05:07] Dazai
    the relentless killing of the gifted
    on whom their existence depends
[05:10] Dazai
    is an insult akin to having a
    knife swung around at their nose.
[05:15] Dazai
    If one of the Port Mafia
    were to fall victim...
[05:19] Kunikida
    Their credibility would come tumbling down.
[05:23] Kunikida
    But will they take action before
    there are any casualties?
[05:27] Dazai
    The first to make a move wins.
[05:29] Dazai
    That's what Mori-san would always say.
[05:32] Dazai
    I guarantee they will act.
[05:35] Dazai
    They may have even discovered
    the attacker's hideout by now.
[05:48] Tachihara
    We were a moment too late.
[05:50] Hirosawa
    Boss, the hideout is an empty shell.
[05:53] Ougai
    So they're good at playing tag.
[05:57] Elise
    Come on, Rintarou!
[05:57] Ougai
    That's all right.
[05:58] Ougai
    As proud as they may be of their quick feet,
[05:59] Elise
    Rintarou!
[06:02] Elise
    Rintarou, Rintarou!
[06:02] Ougai
    they cannot run from the night forever.
[06:03] Elise
    Rintarou!
[06:05] Elise
    Are we going to the sweets shop yet?
[06:07] Ougai
    We're almost there, Elise-chan.
[06:09] Ougai
    But first, one more place.
[06:12] Elise
    Another clothes shop?!
[06:13] Elise
    This is the fifteenth one!
[06:15] Ougai
    It's a short distance by car.
[06:17] Ougai
    I could die happy, right now,
    if you came with me.
[06:21] Elise
    Fine, I'll go. Happy?
[06:27] Hirosawa
    Boss.
[06:28] Hirosawa
    Boss!
[06:31] Ougai
    Right, where were we?
[06:34] Hirosawa
    Has the trap been set as planned?
[06:36] Ougai
    Yes.
[06:37] Ougai
    The assassin will soon make his next attack.
[06:40] Ougai
    That's when we'll catch him.
[06:43] Ougai
    Thanks for waiting, Elise-chan.
[06:46] Ougai
    All right, let's go!
[07:02] Dazai
    The alleyway where the president was attacked,
[07:09] Dazai
    and the blood stains that
    the president first saw.
[07:13] Dazai
    An unidentified puddle of blood.
[07:16] Dazai
    An attack from an empty dead-end...
[07:20] Dazai
    and the ability to walk on air.
[07:27] Dazai
    That makes sense.
[07:29] Dazai
    I know who the attacker is.
[07:44] Elise
    This seriously sucks.
[07:46] Ougai
    Thanks, Elise-chan.
[07:49] Ougai
    But I-I can't breathe.
[07:53] Elise
    Whatever.
[07:57] Ougai
    Ow, ow...
[08:02] Ougai
    It's me.
[08:04] Akutagawa
    As you expected,
    our prey has taken the bait.
[08:08] Ougai
    Then give him a good bite.
[08:15] Ougai
    The first to make a move always wins.
[08:20] Higuchi
    The vehicle detonation signal
    came from Area C-33.
[08:28] Akutagawa
    Bloodshed?
[08:29] Mask
    Death.
[08:32] Mask
    For gifted, the slumber of death.
[08:35] Akutagawa
    To think that the rabbit being
    hunted would show its face...
[08:39] Akutagawa
    Are you the gifted-killer?
[08:42] Akutagawa
    For the resurrection of my beloved,
[08:45] Akutagawa
    I carry out this contract of death.
[08:48] Akutagawa
    You kill for someone's sake.
[08:51] Akutagawa
    Is that your goal?
[08:53] Akutagawa
    I can't say it's not beautiful.
[08:56] Akutagawa
    But without strength,
    you're just a howling animal!
[09:18] Akutagawa
    So you're the gifted-killer.
[09:22] Akutagawa
    The Guild's Irmão.
[09:24] Akutagawa
    Nathaniel.
[09:34] Guy 1
    What the...
[09:35] Guy 2
    Jeez!
[09:36] Guy 1
    Is it an accident?
SIGN    No one's hurt!
SIGN    Just the car!
SIGN    It's burning...
[09:36] [SONG] Text
    At the shopping mall?
SIGN    Yeah
[09:38] Guy 1
    This is a scoop!
[09:39] Girl 1
    Seriously? I can't see anything.
[09:42] Ougai
    Look at all these gawkers.
[09:45] Ougai
    Maybe we made too much of a commotion.
[09:47] Cop
    Are you all right?
[09:50] Cop
    We received word that a car exploded.
[09:52] Ougai
    Oh, not to worry, officer.
[09:56] Ougai
    My daughter here just put some
    orange juice in the gas tank.
[10:00] Elise
    What?!
[10:00] Ougai
    She said she wanted mister car to try some.
[10:04] Ougai
    Right, Elise-chan?
SIGN    Obviously  Not.
[10:09] Cop
    It was an accident?
[10:11] Cop
    Your clothes appear burnt.
[10:14] Cop
    Are you hurt?
[10:15] Ougai
    We're fine.
[10:16] Ougai
    See? We're doing great.
[10:18] Cop
    That's a problem.
[10:30] Ougai
    You!
[10:31] Ougai
    Stop!
[10:33] Guy 1
    What the?!
[10:34] Ougai
    Elise-chan!
[10:44] Elise
    I lost him.
[10:46] Ougai
    The excessive number of gawkers
    was his doing, as well.
[10:57] Akutagawa
    Your ability, The Scarlet Letter,
    allows you to manipulate blood.
[11:02] Akutagawa
    You affix the blood writing to nothingness,
    allowing you to walk on the air.
[11:08] Akutagawa
    And this...
[11:12] Akutagawa
    is what was behind your unmanned attacks.
[11:15] Akutagawa
    Firing words from the puddle of blood.
[11:18] Akutagawa
    That's quite a devious skill you've acquired,
    for a straight-laced man of God.
[11:29] (Flashback) Akutagawa
    Rashoumon...
[11:31] (Flashback) Akutagawa
    Jaws of Endless Gates!
SIGN    Jaws of Endless Gates
[11:51] Akutagawa
    You said this was for the
    resurrection of your beloved.
[11:55] Akutagawa
    So you're doing this is for that woman.
[11:59] Akutagawa
    The woman I defeated in combat at the port.
[12:05] Nathaniel
    You?
[12:08] Nathaniel
    Who are you?
[12:30] Fyodor
    My hat is missing.
[12:32] Dazai
    Is this what you're looking for?
[12:34] Dazai
    Hey, demon Fyodor.
[12:39] Fyodor
    It's you.
[12:41] Fyodor
    I haven't seen you since Mukurotoride.
[12:43] Dazai
    A double-pronged attack that used
    the masked man as bait.
[12:48] Dazai
    I expected as much from you,
[12:53] Dazai
    so I took the liberty of figuring
    out your escape route and waiting.
[12:58] Dazai
    How do I look?
[12:59] Fyodor
    Terrible.
[13:00] Dazai
    Oh, fine.
[13:02] Dazai
    Have it back, then.
[13:06] Dazai
    This has your name written all over it.
[13:08] Dazai
    You tinkered with a poor priest's head
    and turned him into an assassin,
[13:13] Dazai
    and had him attack the leaders
    of two organizations.
[13:17] Fyodor
    And what business do you have with me today?
[13:20] Dazai
    I think I'll have you tell me
    what poison you used on my boss.
[13:25] Dazai
    I know what your goal is.
[13:28] Dazai
    In order to obtain the book you need,
    you'll purge Yokohama of all its gifted.
[13:33] Dazai
    But you Rats don't have
    the manpower to burn down
[13:36] Dazai
    the entirety of Yokohama
    the way the Guild did.
[13:39] Dazai
    That's why you tried to assassinate the heads
    of the Detective Agency and the Port Mafia.
[13:45] Fyodor
    Why do you think that?
[13:48] Dazai
    Because that's what I would do.
[13:51] Fyodor
    So we're two-of-a-kind.
[13:56] Fyodor
    Very well.
[13:57] Fyodor
    I'll tell you.
[14:00] Fyodor
    The poison I used
    is a cannibalizing ability.
[14:10] Yosano
    What is this?
[14:13] Fyodor
    It's a viral ability belonging
     to a certain criminal.
[14:17] Fyodor
    A minuscule supernatural lifeform
    grows to maturity in 48 hours
[14:22] Fyodor
    and eats through the two hosts' bodies.
[14:26] Fyodor
    However, if one of the hosts
    dies, the ability stops.
[14:33] Fyodor
    To save the president,
[14:35] Fyodor
    the only option is to kill
    the other host, Mori-san.
[14:39] Fyodor
    You'll have to give up
    trying to nullify the ability.
[14:43] Fyodor
    To try to find the virus hiding within
[14:46] Fyodor
    the vital organs and touch it
    directly is suicidal.
[14:50] Fyodor
    What will you do?
[14:52] Fyodor
    Will you discuss it with the Port Mafia?
[14:56] Chuya
    Son of a bitch!
[14:57] Chuya
    Two days?!
[14:59] Kouyou
    So it's a scheme to make the Armed Detective Agency
    and the Port Mafia crush each other.
[15:04] Chuya
    Big sis...
[15:05] Kouyou
    Do you plan to fight the Detective Agency?
[15:08] Kouyou
    You'll be playing right into
    the mastermind's hands.
[15:10] Chuya
    I'll pummel the mastermind.
[15:12] Chuya
    Still...
[15:15] Chuya
    Two days isn't enough time.
[15:19] Fyodor
    People are sinful and foolish.
[15:22] Fyodor
    Even knowing that it's part of a trap,
    they can't help but kill each other.
[15:27] Fyodor
    Someone must cleanse them of that sin,
[15:31] Fyodor
    thus I seek the book.
[15:34] Fyodor
    Just like this.
[15:56] Dazai
    A sniper...
[15:58] Dazai
    He predicted my actions, too.
[16:02] Fyodor
    I directed him not to
    shoot your vital organs.
[16:05] Fyodor
    I need you to carry out your role, which is
     to report the conflict with the Port Mafia.
[16:11] Dazai
    You said we're two-of-a-kind.
[16:16] Dazai
    We are the same kind,
    but there's just one difference
[16:22] Dazai
    to the way we think.
[16:27] Dazai
    You're right that people
    are all sinful and foolish.
[16:35] Dazai
    But isn't that what's so great?
[16:39] Fyodor
    You knew about the sniper, didn't you?
[16:43] Fyodor
    You came here knowing that,
    in order to obtain information.
[16:48] Dazai
    The book is a single-volume novel.
[16:53] Dazai
    A piece of literature wherein whatever
    is written becomes reality.
[16:58] Fyodor
    Yes. I'll be using that book to create
[17:03] Fyodor
    a world without sin... Without gifted.
[17:08] Dazai
    Go ahead.
[17:11] Dazai
    Give it a try.
[17:16] Atsushi
    Dazai-san!
[17:18] Atsushi
    Where'd he go?
[17:20] Atsushi
    He said he was going to investigate
    something around here.
[17:23] Fyodor
    Well, then,
[17:26] Fyodor
    we'll meet again in the promised land.
[17:39] Atsushi
    Dazai-san.
[17:42] Atsushi
    Dazai-san!
[17:50] Yosano
    Fukuzawa-sensei and Mori-sensei...
[17:55] Yosano
    This is fate.
[18:03] Yosano
    The president's examination is finished.
[18:07] Yosano
    It sounds like the enemy's warning was true.
[18:10] Yosano
    The ability is draining the life out of him.
[18:12] Yosano
    I'm not sure whether he'll
    regain consciousness or not.
[18:16] Kunikida
    So it was true.
[18:17] Tanizaki
    Let's save the president, Kunikida-san.
[18:22] Tanizaki
    Let's kill the Port Mafia's boss!
[18:24] Tanizaki
    That's the only way!
[18:26] Kunikida
    It's true that we absolutely
    must prevent the president's death.
[18:30] Kunikida
    But...
[18:33] Kunikida
    Dazai is currently undergoing surgery
    for the bullet wound at another hospital.
[18:37] Kunikida
    There's no way we can fight
    the Port Mafia without him.
[18:42] Tanizaki
    Kunikida-san!
[18:44] Kunikida
    Yosano-sensei, where's Rampo-san?
[18:47] Yosano
    Keeping the president company.
[18:49] Yosano
    He was devastated.
[18:51] Yosano
    I don't blame him.
[18:54] Atsushi
    This is bad!
[18:56] Atsushi
    The Port Mafia has surrounded the building!
[19:20] Chuya
    Sorry, Detective Agency.
[19:22] Chuya
    It's nothing personal today.
[19:25] Chuya
    Give me your boss' head,
[19:28] Chuya
    and you won't have to die.
[19:31] Kunikida
    They're already here?!
[19:33] Atsushi
    They're holding the front
    and back entrances.
[19:39] Yosano
    They are the masters of raids
    and killing, after all.
[19:44] Yosano
    What's our plan?
SIGN    Ideals
[19:47] Kunikida
    What do we do?
[19:49] Kunikida
    The enemy is likely well-prepared and ready
    to charge in, regardless of casualties.
[19:55] Kunikida
    Worse, they know our abilities.
[19:59] Kunikida
    If we fight them without a plan,
    people will die.
SIGN    Ideals
[20:04] Kunikida
    But what plan can I come up
    with in this panic?
[20:08] Ranpo
    Stay calm, Kunikida.
[20:11] Ranpo
    You call yourself the
    president's apprentice?
[20:13] Yosano
    Rampo-san...
[20:15] Yosano
    Are you all right?
[20:16] Ranpo
    The president told us to get a grip.
[20:20] Yosano
    He's regained consciousness?
[20:23] Ranpo
    No.
[20:24] Ranpo
    But I could hear him.
[20:28] Ranpo
    Give us our orders, Acting President.
[20:31] Ranpo
    I'll deduce any information we need.
[20:40] Higuchi
    Gifted guards spotted in front of
    the Detective Agency's hospital room.
[20:45] Higuchi
    A blonde child.
[20:47] Chuya
    It's that brat again.
[20:58] Chuya
    Physical attacks do almost nothing to him.
[21:02] Chuya
    They're playing their trump
    card right off the bat.
[21:05] Chuya
    Of course, they're probably trying
    to buy time to get the boss out.
[21:10] Higuchi
    Report. It's not just the child.
[21:13] Higuchi
    Kunikida, the weretiger...
[21:16] Higuchi
    Almost the entirety of the Detective Agency's
    main force is defending the hospital room.
[21:21] Chuya
    What?
[21:22] Chuya
    They're going full-force already?
[21:31] Chuya
    We'll respond with our top men.
[21:34] Chuya
    Send Akutagawa and the Black Lizard
    over from the perimeter team.
[21:54] Chuya
    Want to do this one by one?
[21:58] Chuya
    Or should we all go at it at once?
[22:01] Chuya
    Well?
[22:04] Chuya
    I don't mind either way.
