***SIGN*** Virus symptoms—
***SIGN*** begin
**[00:17] Radio**
*The next requested piece is the "Waltz of
the Flowers" from* The Nutcracker Suite.**
**[00:26] Pushkin**
*Yo, Ivan, I've completed the orders.*
**[00:31] Pushkin**
*Hey, Ivan, are you listening?*
**[00:35] Pushkin**
*Hey!*
**[00:38] Ivan**
Silence.
**[00:40] Ivan**
I can't hear Tchaikovsky.
**[00:42] Pushkin**
*Listening to the radio again?*
**[00:44] Pushkin**
I infected the intruders.
**[00:47] Pushkin**
*So, what's the boss's next order?*
**[00:59] Ivan**
Our master instructs you to
do what you can to escape.
**[01:02] Pushkin**
*No backup?*
**[01:04] Pushkin**
*If I get caught, the virus will be lost, as well.*
**[01:07] Ivan**
I have no intention of protecting
anyone other than our master.
**[01:13] Ivan**
I'm in bliss.
**[01:15] Pushkin**
I'd love to see your face the
moment the bliss is gone, too.
**[01:20] Ivan**
The skin on my face?
**[01:22] Ivan**
If the master were to ask for it,
**[01:25] Ivan**
I would peel it off without
a second thought.
**[01:28] Pushkin**
You're completely nuts.
**[01:35] Pushkin**
The bastards are after me.
**[01:38] Pushkin**
I'll see you on the surface.
***SIGN*** Episode 37
**[01:55] Dazai**
*Finally, a connection.*
**[01:57] Atsushi**
Dazai-san!
**[01:58] Dazai**
* I trust that you're chasing down*
* the gifted controlling the virus.*
**[02:01] Dazai**
* His virus infects the victim*
* through open wounds.*
**[02:04] Dazai**
* The fever and nausea make it*
* difficult to even just stand.*
**[02:07] Dazai**
*Don't let yourselves be so much as grazed.*
**[02:10] Dazai**
*I'll take care of Fyodor.*
**[02:12] Dazai**
*Don't let that gifted out of your sight.*
**[02:22] Akutagawa**
Damn, I can't reach.
**[02:34] Akutagawa**
Weretiger!
**[02:41] Atsushi**
Akutagawa!
**[02:43] Pushkin**
Neither the wretched dog nor the weretiger
live up to their reputations.
**[02:50] Pushkin**
What the hell is that?
**[02:52] Akutagawa**
Go faster than him!
**[02:54] Akutagawa**
Also, you're an uncomfortable ride.
**[02:56] Atsushi**
Shut up.
**[03:00] Akutagawa**
Left!
**[03:02] Akutagawa**
Right!
**[03:08] Atsushi**
What?
**[03:09] Akutagawa**
Forward!
**[03:15] Akutagawa**
Don't think. Just run, fool!
**[03:18] Atsushi**
Shut up! You're not paying for this ride!
**[03:24] Atsushi**
Got you!
**[03:25] Pushkin**
You're too late.
**[03:27] Akutagawa**
Weretiger!
**[03:35] Atsushi**
What is that?
**[03:37] Pushkin**
Later!
**[03:40] Atsushi**
He's getting away.
**[03:43] Ivan**
I'm so blessed.
**[03:49] Ivan**
My master, Fyodor-sama,
**[03:53] Ivan**
has tasked me with something more
important than guarding him.
***SIGN*** Rats in the House of the Dead Agent Ivan G.
***SIGN*** Special Ability: The Precipice
**[04:01] Akutagawa**
Prepare yourself, weretiger.
**[04:03] Akutagawa**
We're going to take him down within
a minute and go after the tram.
**[04:12] Kenji**
They're on the move.
**[04:14] Tanizaki**
Dazai-san, three cars just left the
abandoned mines from the north.
**[04:18] Tanizaki**
*Contact the surface team and follow them.*
**[04:20] Dazai**
Ignore them.
**[04:23] Dazai**
*Those are decoys meant to slow us down.*
**[04:27] Tanizaki**
How can you be sure?
**[04:29] Dazai**
Because that's what I would do.
**[04:32] Tanizaki**
*Understood.*
**[04:35] Kenji**
Tanizaki-san, there's a cargo truck
leaving from the west of the mines.
**[04:38] Tanizaki**
Is that the one?
**[04:40] Dazai**
*No, it's not.*
**[04:41] Dazai**
Ignore that one, too.
**[04:44] Tanizaki**
Now we're seeing several armed
soldiers moving to the southeast.
**[04:47] Tanizaki**
They're escorting someone in a hood.
**[04:50] Dazai**
*Ignore them.*
**[04:52] Tanizaki**
But...
**[04:53] Dazai**
*We're trying to capture a demon.*
**[04:55] Dazai**
We need every hand we can spare.
**[04:58] Dazai**
Ignore them.
**[05:11] Ivan**
You're wasting your time.
**[05:14] Ivan**
My ability is to control earth.
**[05:17] Ivan**
No amount of cutting or crushing
will defeat my stone giant.
**[05:27] Akutagawa**
Weretiger!
**[05:31] Ivan**
Don't forget that you're
in the belly of my ability.
**[05:37] Ivan**
Even the ground you stand on is your enemy.
**[05:42] Ivan**
I'm impressed that you survived my blow,
man with the ability of the weretiger.
**[05:49] Ivan**
It seems there'll be a lot of
pain to be had before my bliss.
**[05:55] Atsushi**
*If we can't defeat the stone giant,*
**[05:58] Atsushi**
* we have no choice but to go*
* after the gifted himself.*
**[06:00] Atsushi**
* But if this ground is in the*
* field of his special ability,*
**[06:03] Atsushi**
*even getting close will be difficult.*
**[06:07] Atsushi**
*Then our only choice...*
**[06:10] Atsushi**
Akutagawa.
**[06:12] Akutagawa**
Yeah.
**[06:14] Atsushi**
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
**[06:16] Akutagawa**
Of course.
**[06:18] Akutagawa**
How many times do you think
we've tried to kill each other?
**[06:21] Atsushi**
Stay put, sickly man.
**[06:24] Akutagawa**
Keep running, fool.
**[06:27] Ivan**
Give it up!
**[06:38] Ivan**
What?
**[06:43] Ivan**
This is...
**[06:51] Ivan**
Is he jumping on the black cloth of that ability
to avoid touching the earth?
**[06:58] Ivan**
I can't tell where he is!
**[07:01] Atsushi**
Got you!
**[07:15] Ivan**
An fully-enclosed defense
using fast-spinning rocks.
**[07:19] Ivan**
If I can't tell where you're coming from,
I just need to protect myself in all directions.
**[07:23] Ivan**
Now, wretched dog, it's your turn.
**[07:38] Akutagawa**
"Even the ground that you
stand on is your enemy."
**[07:41] Akutagawa**
I'm afraid to say, those words have been
directed at my enemies countless times.
**[07:52] Atsushi**
Damn it, using me as bait...
**[07:56] Akutagawa**
You're the one who charged
in knowing you were bait.
**[07:59] Atsushi**
Of course I knew.
**[08:01] Atsushi**
How many times do you think
we've tried to kill each other?
**[08:05] Akutagawa**
Let's go after the tram, weretiger.
**[08:07] Akutagawa**
Be my horse.
**[08:08] Atsushi**
Come on, that's—
**[08:10] Akutagawa**
Weretiger!
**[08:14] Akutagawa**
A golem...
**[08:16] Akutagawa**
It's a fake!
**[08:22] Atsushi**
This is the virus'...
**[08:25] Ivan**
My master brings joy to this godless world.
**[08:31] Ivan**
Evil is the one who stands in his way.
**[08:34] Ivan**
I've infected you with the virus
through your wound.
**[08:41] Atsushi**
I have no strength.
**[08:43] Atsushi**
I won't be able to go after the tram,
even if we beat him.
**[08:51] Tanizaki**
Dazai-san, there's a helicopter of unknown
nationality approaching from the east.
**[08:55] Tanizaki**
We can't fight it off with our equipment.
**[08:58] Tanizaki**
*Call for the military police to back us up.*
**[09:00] Dazai**
A helicopter?
**[09:02] Dazai**
Is there anyone on the ground?
**[09:05] Tanizaki**
People?
**[09:07] Kenji**
There's what appears to be hiker
at the base of the mountain.
**[09:11] Kenji**
He's wearing a hat, so I can't see his face.
**[09:13] Dazai**
*That's the one.*
**[09:16] Dazai**
Everyone stop the hiker.
**[09:18] Dazai**
Send Mori-san's men, too.
**[09:19] Dazai**
Immediately.
**[09:20] Tanizaki**
*G-Got it.*
**[09:28] Tanizaki**
Dazai-san, it wasn't him!
**[09:31] Tanizaki**
He's just an ordinary hiker
handcuffed with grenades.
**[09:33] Tanizaki**
It's not Fyodor!
**[09:42] Ivan**
You two are strong.
**[09:44] Ivan**
There's no end to this.
**[09:51] Ivan**
I'll have you drown.
**[09:54] Atsushi**
* My body's sinking and I don't*
* have the strength to escape.*
**[09:59] Ivan**
Farewell.
**[10:03] Atsushi**
Shit.
**[10:04] Akutagawa**
Weretiger.
**[10:07] Akutagawa**
Answer my question from earlier.
**[10:09] Akutagawa**
Why do you fight?
**[10:11] Atsushi**
This isn't the time for that.
**[10:13] Akutagawa**
There's a way to escape.
**[10:15] Akutagawa**
A last resort.
**[10:17] Akutagawa**
But answer me first.
**[10:20] Akutagawa**
Why do you fight?
**[10:22] Atsushi**
You know the answer.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Principal**
Those who can save no one
do not deserve to live.
**[10:30] Akutagawa**
You fight to escape your childhood
memories and earn the right to live.
**[10:36] Akutagawa**
But I heard that your childhood master died.
**[10:40] Atsushi**
He's not dead.
**[10:42] Atsushi**
He's standing behind you right now.
**[10:49] Atsushi**
He lives in my head now.
**[10:53] Atsushi**
He keeps repeating the cursed words,
"Do what is right."
**[10:58] Atsushi**
I can't get revenge against
someone who's dead.
**[11:03] Akutagawa**
That's far more brutal
than my trivial death.
**[11:11] Atsushi**
Hey!
**[11:13] Akutagawa**
If I'm a wretched dog, you're a wandering dog.
**[11:17] Akutagawa**
This is the solution.
**[11:20] Akutagawa**
Fight, and give me an answer.
**[11:24] Akutagawa**
If you still lose like this...
**[11:28] Akutagawa**
I'll never forgive you.
**[11:36] Ivan**
One of them is missing!
**[11:38] Ivan**
The whole ground's missing, space and all.
**[11:50] Ivan**
*Teleportation...*
**[11:52] Ivan**
*He carved out space with his ability...*
**[11:54] Ivan**
and moved!
**[12:03] Atsushi**
Don't bother.
**[12:09] Ivan**
The stone he carved isn't recovering.
**[12:13] Akutagawa**
Only those who've tried to kill him
**[12:17] Akutagawa**
know that the tiger's claws can cut
through the very fabric of an ability.
**[12:22] Akutagawa**
Thus, by expanding and contracting
the space he detached
**[12:27] Akutagawa**
the same way he cut through my Rashoumon...
**[12:36] Akutagawa**
our abilities become a peerless
sword against which
**[12:39] Akutagawa**
there can be no defense for
physical armor or abilities!
**[12:46] Atsushi**
Let's go, Akutagawa!
**[12:48] Atsushi**
Obliterate him, weretiger!
**[12:54] Atsushi**
Beast Beneath the Moonlight, Rashoumon!
**[12:57] Atsushi**
Kokuto Zessou!
**[13:29] Pushkin**
I made it out.
**[13:31] Pushkin**
I win.
**[13:32] Pushkin**
Fyodor and the Rats in the House of the Dead
are all tools for my entertainment.
**[13:37] Pushkin**
Weak men like me get away with anything.
**[13:41] Pushkin**
The haves ought to die barfing.
**[13:50] Mori**
See? Just as I told you.
**[13:53] Fukuzawa**
What a simplistic escape route.
**[13:55] Fukuzawa**
Far too predictable compared
to Fyodor, master of phantoms.
**[14:00] Pushkin**
I-Impossible.
**[14:02] Kunikida**
Well, we were all put in mortal
danger because of you.
**[14:07] Kunikida**
Any thoughts?
**[14:09] Pushkin**
Forgive me!
**[14:10] Pushkin**
I'll disable the virus right away!
**[14:12] Pushkin**
I'll turn myself in!
**[14:13] Pushkin**
So please...
**[14:15] Mori**
Good enough, then.
**[14:18] Fukuzawa**
Yeah.
**[14:18] Fukuzawa**
Let's forgive him.
**[14:22] Fukuzawa**
Obviously not!
**[14:37] Atsushi**
The virus is gone.
**[14:38] Atsushi**
The mission was a success.
**[14:42] Atsushi**
But...
**[14:43] Kunikida**
Fyodor's missing?
**[14:46] Atsushi**
He's nowhere to be found.
**[14:48] Kunikida**
* But he wasn't in the helicopter*
* or the escape vehicles.*
**[14:53] Kunikida**
*He must still be in his hideout.*
**[14:56] Atsushi**
But...
**[15:01] Akutagawa**
What's so funny?
**[15:02] Ivan**
I'm just so happy.
**[15:04] Ivan**
My master removed the part
of me that feels grief.
**[15:12] Ivan**
Did anyone ever once guarantee that
**[15:16] Ivan**
capturing this base would
lead you to my master?
**[15:18] Akutagawa**
What?
**[15:20] Atsushi**
No...
**[15:26] Waiter**
Would you like more tea?
**[15:29] Fyodor**
I think not.
**[15:30] Fyodor**
Thank you.
**[15:38] Akutagawa**
He was never even here to begin with?
**[15:44] Akutagawa**
Impossible...
**[15:46] Akutagawa**
There are no connections
to the outside world here.
**[15:48] Akutagawa**
We're monitoring cell phone communications
with our hacking ability.
**[15:53] Akutagawa**
This place can't be operated from outside.
**[15:57] Ivan**
It's this music.
**[16:00] Akutagawa**
What?
**[16:01] Ivan**
The requests being made
on all the music programs
**[16:04] Ivan**
are serving as a secret
language to relay his orders.
**[16:07] Ivan**
Our communications make use of
all the radio waves in the air.
**[16:12] Ivan**
No amount of hacking can stop us.
**[16:15] Ivan**
You'd lost from the beginning!
**[16:19] Kunikida**
*Atsushi, what's going on?*
**[16:22] Atsushi**
Kunikida-san...
**[16:23] Kunikida**
*What?*
**[16:26] Atsushi**
The rat is already outside the hole.
**[16:34] Fyodor**
The "St. Matthew Passion" by Bach.
**[16:37] Fyodor**
It seems my time's up.
**[16:40] Fyodor**
They weren't nearly as
formidable as I'd thought.
**[16:44] Fyodor**
It looks like I'll be able
to end them in my next move.
**[17:01] Dazai**
Hey.
**[17:03] Dazai**
Nice café, huh?
**[17:08] Dazai**
I've never seen you so shocked.
**[17:13] Dazai**
You want to ask how
I found you here, don't you?
**[17:18] Dazai**
I really played my best card.
**[17:22] Dazai**
This is my best card.
The one that caught the demon.
**[17:29] Francis**
Long time, Rat.
**[17:34] Fyodor**
Excellent!
**[17:36] Fyodor**
Eyes of God?
**[17:38] Dazai**
That's right.
**[17:40] Dazai**
The inescapable eyes that integrate
surveillance images from all over the city.
**[17:44] Dazai**
I used that power to find this place
while you were distracted by your base.
**[17:51] Dazai**
He agreed to help us on the
condition that we'd take back
**[17:55] Dazai**
the Guild's hidden assets,
which you've swiped.
**[17:58] Francis**
I have no interest in money
once it's escaped me,
**[18:01] Francis**
but my pride wouldn't allow me to
leave it in the hands of rats.
**[18:10] Ango**
We'll take it from here.
**[18:14] Ango**
Is that all right, Dazai-kun?
**[18:17] Dazai**
Sure.
**[18:18] Dazai**
That's why I called you here.
**[18:21] Ango**
Put your hands where we can see them.
**[18:28] Dazai**
Wait, don't touch him!
**[18:40] Francis**
He's dead.
**[18:45] Ango**
Try anything funny,
and we'll shoot you on the spot.
**[18:48] Fyodor**
Sure.
**[18:51] Fyodor**
Let's go.
**[18:56] Francis**
Detective...
**[18:58] Francis**
Do you know what his ability is?
**[19:02] Dazai**
No, I don't.
**[19:22] Tanizaki**
This is bad.
**[19:23] Kyouka**
Yes, it is.
**[19:25] Kenji**
It's bad?
**[19:27] Tanizaki**
We straight-up disobeyed the president's
orders not to fight against the Port Mafia.
**[19:34] Tanizaki**
We could be axed.
**[19:36] Kenji**
We could?
**[19:37] Kenji**
I've never been axed before.
**[19:39] Tanizaki**
Y-Yeah...
**[19:40] Tanizaki**
Do you know what "axed" means?
**[19:43] Kyouka**
I do.
**[19:44] Kyouka**
Several people have been
axed at my previous job.
**[19:47] Kyouka**
Cleaning up after them was such a pain.
**[19:49] Tanizaki**
Forget it.
**[19:51] Tanizaki**
This kid doesn't know what
the word means, either.
**[19:52] Ranpo**
Look at all these snacks.
**[19:56] Tanizaki**
Ranpo-san.
**[19:58] Tanizaki**
You made it out of the mystery novel.
**[20:01] Ranpo**
Of course.
**[20:03] Ranpo**
I identified all 500 criminals.
**[20:05] Ranpo**
Fancy-hat boy is still inside.
**[20:07] Ranpo**
He gave up on the mystery novel
and just started beating everyone up.
**[20:13] Yosano**
It's the president.
**[20:20] Kunikida**
We'll accept any punishment in the fullest.
**[20:24] Fukuzawa**
We'll determine your punishment later.
**[20:29] Fukuzawa**
But I'm deeply grateful for
your work on this matter.
**[20:39] Fukuzawa**
Well done, everyone.
**[20:48] Atsushi**
This is such a nice venue.
**[20:51] Dazai**
Yeah.
**[20:52] Dazai**
It's a beautiful ship.
**[21:07] Dazai**
Atsushi-kun.
**[21:08] Atsushi**
Yes?
**[21:09] Dazai**
How was it working alongside Akutagawa-kun?
**[21:12] Atsushi**
Awful.
**[21:13] Atsushi**
I never want to partner with him again.
**[21:17] Dazai**
Why not?
**[21:18] Atsushi**
We're just fundamentally incompatible.
**[21:21] Atsushi**
He's short-sighted and...
**[21:26] (Flashback) Akutagawa**
In six months, I kill you.
**[21:29] (Flashback) Akutagawa**
Be well-prepared.
**[21:32] (Flashback) Akutagawa**
When we first fought on the ship,
**[21:34] (Flashback) Akutagawa**
I utterly despised you for
how well-off you are.
**[21:39] (Flashback) Akutagawa**
But that's somewhat different now.
**[21:41] (Flashback) Akutagawa**
Until I defeat you, I can't move on.
**[21:46] (Flashback) Akutagawa**
Thus, I will kill you.
**[21:49] Dazai**
And what did you tell him?
**[21:54] Atsushi**
I'm sure you can guess.
**[21:57] Dazai**
Sure, I have a vague idea.
**[22:00] (Flashback) Atsushi**
All right.
**[22:02] (Flashback) Atsushi**
But on one condition.
**[22:04] (Flashback) Atsushi**
Don't kill anyone for the next six months.
**[22:08] (Flashback) Atsushi**
There's something simple
that you'll learn from that:
**[22:12] (Flashback) Atsushi**
what it takes to win Dazai-san's approval,
**[22:16] (Flashback) Atsushi**
and the fact that weakness and
strength aren't what they seem,
**[22:20] (Flashback) Atsushi**
and that you're really ahead of me already.
**[22:27] (Flashback) Akutagawa**
Very well.
**[22:32] Atsushi**
*I'll get stronger.*
**[22:34] Atsushi**
*I'll ask Kunikida-san to teach me to fight,*
**[22:37] Atsushi**
* and I'll train myself to*
* control my ability better,*
**[22:41] Atsushi**
* so I can brush off Akutagawa's*
* strength six months from now.*
**[22:46] Atsushi**
*That way,*
**[22:49] Atsushi**
* I can be freed from the*
* shackles of that man.*
**[22:52] Dazai**
I figured that's what you'd say.
**[23:00] Dazai**
A mafia member who doesn't kill, huh?
**[23:04] Dazai**
You and Akutagawa-kun are both fighters.
**[23:09] Dazai**
Just like us.
**[23:17] Dazai**
Atsushi-kun.
**[23:21] Atsushi**
What are we toasting to?
**[23:25] Dazai**
