***SIGN*** My name is Kyouka. I've killed 35 people in 6 months.
**[00:01] Kyou**
My name is Kyouka.
**[00:04] Kyou**
I've killed 35 people in 6 months.
***SIGN*** Infirmary
**[00:23] (Flashback) Sign 0009**
My name is Kyouka.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Sign 0009**
I've killed 35 people.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Sign 0009**
I don't want to kill anyone else!
**[00:37] Kuni**
You've brought trouble
back with you yet again.
**[00:41] Kuni**
She's a lost cause.
**[00:43] Kuni**
The girl's a well-known assassin.
**[00:48] Kuni**
She tricks targets into lowering their
guard with her young appearance,
**[00:52] Kuni**
then annihilates entire organizations.
**[00:56] Kuni**
She accomplished too much, too quickly.
**[01:01] Kuni**
It was only a matter of time
before she was caught.
**[01:04] Naka**
But...
**[01:05] Naka**
whoever is taking advantage of
her ability is the one to blame.
**[01:09] Kuni**
Gifts don't necessarily bring
happiness to their wielders.
**[01:13] Kuni**
You know that better than most.
**[01:21] Yosano**
She's awake.
**[01:22] Kuni**
Do you think we can question her?
**[01:24] Yosano**
Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.
**[01:27] Yosano**
**[02:57] Naka**
Are you okay?
**[03:00] Naka**
Um, this is the infirmary at the Agency.
**[03:04] Naka**
How're you feeling?
**[03:06] Naka**
You remember me, right?
**[03:12] Kuni**
Girl, tell us who was behind this plot.
**[03:15] Kuni**
The Port Mafia forces are just like a snake.
**[03:18] Kuni**
Unless you cut off its head,
it'll just keep coming.
**[03:21] Kuni**
Answer me.
**[03:22] Kuni**
Who's your superior?
**[03:24] Naka**
K-Kunikida-san.
**[03:27] Kyouka**
Tachibanadou's boiled tofu.
**[03:30] Naka**
Boiled tofu?
**[03:31] Kyouka**
It's really good.
**[03:33] Kuni**
You want us to get you some?
**[03:36] Kyouka**
I'll talk after you do.
**[03:38] Naka**
Oh.
**[03:39] Naka**
Sure, that's a small thing.
**[03:41] Kuni**
Hey, you...
**[03:43] Naka**
What?
***SIGN*** Menu
**[04:02] Kyouka**
Seconds!
**[04:03] Naka**
Kunikida-san...
**[04:05] Kuni**
I'm not paying.
**[04:07] Naka**
Crap...
**[04:09] Staff**
What would you like to order, sir?
**[04:12] Naka**
Just water, please.
**[04:16] Kuni**
Well?
**[04:17] Kyouka**
The Port Mafia took me
in when my parents died
**[04:20] Kyouka**
and I became an orphan.
**[04:22] Kyouka**
They wanted my ability, Demon Snow.
**[04:27] Kyouka**
Demon Snow only follows orders
coming through a phone.
**[04:32] Kuni**
This is the cell phone.
**[04:35] Kuni**
The battery's been taken out.
**[04:37] Kuni**
So the Port Mafia made
good use of your ability
**[04:41] Kuni**
and turned you into a deadly assassin.
**[04:45] Naka**
Why didn't you just toss
the cell phone away?
**[04:50] Kyouka**
If I put up any resistance,
I would've been killed.
**[04:53] Kyouka**
Besides...
**[04:55] Kyouka**
Even if I'd left the Port Mafia,
I had nowhere else to go.
**[04:58] Kuni**
Who was manipulating Demon Snow
through that phone?
**[05:01] Kyouka**
A man called Akutagawa.
**[05:07] Kuni**
I see.
**[05:09] Kuni**
I'll head back to the Agency to report.
**[05:12] Kuni**
Brat.
**[05:15] Kuni**
Turn the girl over to the military police.
**[05:17] Naka**
But if I do that...
**[05:20] Kuni**
With a kill count of 35,
**[05:22] Kuni**
she'll be sentenced to death.
**[05:24] Kuni**
Even if she went back to the Port Mafia,
**[05:27] Kuni**
she'd be killed as a traitor.
**[05:29] Naka**
But...
**[05:30] Kuni**
What, are you going to save her?
**[05:33] Kuni**
A fugitive wanted for execution,
**[05:35] Kuni**
and a traitor to the Port Mafia...
**[05:37] Kuni**
Do you have the resolve to shoulder
full responsibility for her?
**[05:44] Naka**
That's...
**[05:45] Kuni**
Brat.
**[05:47] Kuni**
I'm not telling you to reject empathy
for someone who's fallen into misfortune.
**[05:51] Kuni**
But misfortune of her sort is
plentiful in our world.
**[05:56] Kuni**
You only have room for one on your boat.
**[05:58] Kuni**
If you try to save someone you can't save...
**[06:02] Kuni**
you'll both end up sinking.
**[06:09] Naka**
But...
**[06:11] Naka**
If that's true...
***SIGN*** Episode 9: The Beauty Is Quiet Like a Stone Statue
**[06:18] Naka**
Why did Dazai-san help me?
**[06:22] Dazai**
You can't do a double suicide alone...
**[06:30] Dazai**
But you can do it with two...
**[06:44] Dazai**
Oh, you were here?
**[06:48] Aku**
I believe you know what manner of fate
awaits those who are chained here.
**[06:54] Dazai**
This brings back memories.
I remember when you were a rookie.
**[06:58] Aku**
You have committed grave sins.
**[07:00] Aku**
You suddenly abandoned your mission,
**[07:02] Aku**
vanished,
**[07:03] Aku**
only to reappear as an
enemy to the Port Mafia.
**[07:07] Aku**
It's hard to believe, coming
from a former executive.
**[07:10] Dazai**
And from your former superior?
**[07:21] Aku**
Not even you are invincible.
**[07:24] Aku**
As long as I don't use my ability,
**[07:26] Aku**
I can hurt you.
**[07:27] Aku**
I can kill you any time I want.
**[07:30] Dazai**
I see.
**[07:32] Dazai**
You've climbed up through the ranks.
**[07:34] Dazai**
I'll say this to you now,
**[07:35] Dazai**
but it was a challenge to train you.
**[07:38] Dazai**
You were a slow learner,
**[07:40] Dazai**
and you always disobeyed instructions.
**[07:42] Dazai**
Not to mention that useless
ability of yours...
**[07:45] Aku**
Your fake bravado will only
last for a few more days.
**[07:48] Aku**
In that time, we will obliterate the Agency
**[07:51] Aku**
and seize the weretiger.
**[07:52] Aku**
Your execution will then follow.
**[07:55] Aku**
Look forward to learning
of your organization
**[07:56] Aku**
and your subordinates' demise
**[07:58] Aku**
with clenched fists and teeth.
**[08:00] Dazai**
I wonder if you'll actually manage that.
**[08:04] Dazai**
My new subordinate is
far superior to you.
***SIGN*** Chinatown
**[08:16] Kyou**
I ate too much.
**[08:17] Nawka**
Y-You did.
**[08:20] Nawka**
I'm glad I had enough money.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Kuni**
You only have room for one on your boat.
**[08:29] (Flashback) Kuni**
If you try to save someone you can't save...
**[08:33] (Flashback) Kuni**
you'll both end up sinking.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Kuni**
Take her to a military police outpost.
**[08:37] (Flashback) Kuni**
Don't let her figure out what you're doing.
**[08:41] Naka**
* If we go there, she'll be*
* sentenced to death...*
***SIGN*** Chinatown
**[08:47] Naka**
Let's go.
**[08:49] Kyou**
Go where?
**[08:53] Kyou**
Where are we going?
**[08:55] Naka**
Huh?
**[08:56] Kyou**
Where are you taking me?
**[08:58] Naka**
Wh-Where?
**[09:01] Naka**
Well, so...
**[09:04] Naka**
Um...
**[09:07] Naka**
Wherever you want go, of course.
**[09:10] Naka**
Don't you have somewhere
you want to check out?
**[09:11] Naka**
You know, somewhere a girl
your age would like to see...
**[09:14] Naka**
For example...
**[09:17] Naka**
A date spot! Maybe?
**[09:20] Naka**
S-See, I've gotten the rest of the day off.
**[09:23] Naka**
I doubt you've had many opportunities
to have fun outside.
**[09:26] Kyouka**
A date?
**[09:28] Naka**
Yeah...
**[09:29] Kyouka**
A date with you?
**[09:30] Naka**
Yeah...
**[09:32] Naka**
Huh?
**[09:34] Naka**
Oh! Um!
**[09:34] Naka**
I don't mean anything by it...
**[09:37] Naka**
Um...
**[09:38] Naka**
Er...
**[09:42] Kyouka**
Let's go.
**[09:44] Naka**
Oh.
**[09:46] Naka**
Okay.
**[09:49] Naka**
Whoa!
**[09:51] Naka**
What a giant baseball field!
**[09:53] Kyouka**
It's the Yokohama Stadium.
**[09:55] Naka**
Oh, so this is it?
**[09:57] Kyouka**
I've seen it on a map.
**[10:00] Kyouka**
It's the Yokohama Port
Opening Memorial Hall.
**[10:02] Naka**
Huh.
**[10:04] Kyouka**
Kanagawa Prefectural Museum
of Cultural History.
**[10:06] Naka**
Huh.
**[10:09] Kyouka**
Yokohama Customs Headquarters.
**[10:12] Naka**
Huh.
**[10:13] Naka**
You know everything, huh?
**[10:15] Kyouka**
I have the map and building
structures memorized.
**[10:19] Naka**
Oh, I know this one.
**[10:22] Naka**
It's the Yokohama Red Brick
Warehouse, isn't it?
**[10:24] Girls**
The crepe place here's great.
**[10:27] Girls**
Let me have a bite!
**[10:29] Girls**
Yum, delicious!
**[10:34] Naka**
Oh, yeah, it's popular.
**[10:36] Naka**
Naomi-san said they make great crepes.
**[10:41] Kyouka**
It wasn't on the map...
**[10:43] Kyouka**
I want to try...
**[10:44] Naka**
What?!
**[10:45] Naka**
B-But you ate so much boiled tofu...
**[10:49] Kyou**
I have a second stomach for that.
**[11:05] Kyou**
I got the plushie I wanted...
**[11:44] Kyou**
There's just one more place I want to go.
**[11:47] Naka**
Okay, okay.
**[11:49] Naka**
*She's really being proactive.*
**[11:51] Kyou**
Here.
***SIGN*** Yamanote Police Department Minatonomieruoka Park Police Station
**[11:56] Kyou**
I've had more than enough fun.
**[11:59] Kyou**
And it should've just ended
with the boiled tofu.
**[12:01] Naka**
But if you get caught, you'll...
**[12:04] Kyou**
I'll probably be sentenced to death.
**[12:07] Kyou**
I've killed 35 people.
**[12:10] Kyou**
That I'm still alive is already a sin.
**[12:13] Kyou**
Besides, even if I return to the
Port Mafia, I'll be executed.
**[12:22] Aku**
Executed?
**[12:23] [SONG] Sign 1224**
Executed?
**[12:29] Aku**
We wouldn't execute you...
**[12:31] Aku**
You've fulfilled your mission.
**[12:37] Cop**
Hey!
**[12:38] Cop**
What're you—
**[12:42] Aku**
"I got the plushie I wanted."
**[12:45] Aku**
A transmitter is implanted in your body.
**[12:49] Aku**
Your whereabouts and
every action are known to us.
**[13:03] Aku**
We're going home.
**[13:04] Aku**
**[13:18] Naka**
*Where am I?*
**[13:20] Tani**
Atsushi-kun has been abducted.
**[13:23] Kuni**
The brat?
**[13:24] Kuni**
Now, of all times?
**[13:26] Tani**
Yes.
**[13:27] Kuni**
The Agency's in a total uproar due to
a recent ministry staff escort job.
**[13:33] Kuni**
We don't have enough hands
on deck to look for him.
**[13:35] Kuni**
Do we know where he is?
**[13:38] Tani**
Oh, yes.
**[13:39] Tani**
Based on eyewitness statements,
**[13:41] Tani**
he was attacked on the
street in broad daylight
**[13:42] Tani**
and shoved into a truck.
**[13:43] Tani**
Their destination remains unknown.
**[13:45] Kuni**
That's not good.
**[13:47] Kuni**
They have many dedicated smuggling routes.
**[13:51] Kuni**
Transporting a lone individual
without anyone laying eyes on him
**[13:52] Kuni**
would be a piece of cake for them.
**[13:55] Tani**
We must help him somehow, or he'll...
**[13:57] Rampo**
Help him? Why?
**[14:01] Rampo**
He was abducted because he's a weretiger
and they want the reward, right?
**[14:04] Rampo**
So, it's personal.
**[14:07] Rampo**
We're not his foster home.
**[14:09] Rampo**
He didn't join us so we'd protect him, either.
**[14:13] Tani**
But Atsushi-kun is one of ours.
**[14:16] Kuni**
No.
**[14:16] Kuni**
Rampo-san is right.
**[14:19] Kuni**
We shouldn't be the ones to take action.
**[14:21] Tani**
Kunikida-san...
**[14:24] Rampo**
Shouldn't we inform the police?
**[14:26] Kuni**
Atsushi is wanted as a
designated major threat.
**[14:29] Kuni**
If his status with us becomes known,
**[14:31] Kuni**
the Agency will take a hit.
**[14:34] Naomi**
Um...
**[14:36] Naomi**
It sounded like you wouldn't make
a decision in a million years
**[14:40] Naomi**
if you kept going with the shoulds and
the coulds you all seem to love,
**[14:43] Naomi**
so I called him!
**[14:47] All**
President!
**[14:48] Kuni**
I am so sorry.
**[14:50] Kuni**
As soon as our work is done,
**[14:51] Kuni**
I'll gather information with Tanizaki and...
**[14:53] Fuku**
That won't be necessary.
**[14:56] Fuku**
Listen up, all of you.
**[14:57] Fuku**
Our newest member has been abducted.
**[14:59] Fuku**
Everyone work on finding him.
**[15:01] Fuku**
I order the current task suspended
**[15:03] Fuku**
until he has been safely returned to us.
**[15:05] Rampo**
Suspended?
**[15:06] Kuni**
But there is the escort job...
**[15:09] Fuku**
I'll contact the client.
**[15:12] Fuku**
Don't worry.
**[15:13] Fuku**
They owe me enough that I can afford
to let a minor official wait.
**[15:16] Rampo**
President, are you sure about this?
**[15:19] Fuku**
About what, Rampo?
**[15:21] Rampo**
Well, if you think about
the rationale behind it—
**[15:24] Fuku**
One of our own is in danger.
**[15:25] Fuku**
We must help him.
**[15:27] Fuku**
What greater rationale do
we need in this world?
**[15:35] Fuku**
Kunikida.
**[15:36] Kuni**
Sir.
**[15:37] Fuku**
Bring him back to us in three hours.
**[15:39] Kuni**
Understood!
**[15:47] Dazai**
* If I predicted correctly,*
* by now they should be...*
**[15:51] Dazai**
It's about time.
**[15:54] Chuuya**

**[15:57] Dazai**
That voice...

**[16:02] Chuuya**

**[16:05] Chuuya**
Wouldn't you agree, Dazai?
**[16:07] Dazai**
Gross!
**[16:09] Dazai**
Man, gross!
**[16:12] Chuuya**
I like your reaction.
**[16:14] Chuuya**
It makes me want to strangle you.
**[16:19] Dazai**
You haven't changed at all, Chuuya.
**[16:22] Chuuya**
Oh?!
**[16:22] Chuuya**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[16:23] Dazai**
I've always wondered about this,
**[16:26] Dazai**
but where do you get your embarrassing hats?
**[16:28] Chuuya**
Say what you want, vagabond!
**[16:30] Chuuya**
I bet you're still going on and on about
suicide despite your age, aren't you?
**[16:34] Dazai**
Yeah.
**[16:35] Chuuya**
At least pretend to deny that.
**[16:38] Chuuya**
But now, you're just a sad little prisoner.
**[16:42] Chuuya**
It's enough to make you cry, eh, Dazai?
**[16:44] Chuuya**
No...
**[16:45] Chuuya**
It's actually a little too convenient.
**[16:48] Chuuya**
You may be able to deceive
that apprentice, Akutagawa,
**[16:51] Chuuya**
but not me.
**[16:52] Chuuya**
After all, I'm your old partner.
**[16:58] Chuuya**
What's your play?
**[17:00] Dazai**
My play? It's just what it looks like.
**[17:03] Dazai**
Get caught, and wait to be executed.
**[17:05] Chuuya**
There's no way the Dazai I know would be
caught through bad luck or gross negligence.
**[17:08] Chuuya**
If you were that foolish,
**[17:10] Chuuya**
I would've killed you long ago.
**[17:12] Dazai**
You're overthinking this.
**[17:14] Dazai**
Besides, why'd you come
here in the first place?
**[17:16] Chuuya**
To harass you.
**[17:19] Chuuya**
You toyed with me all you wanted back then.
**[17:23] Chuuya**
But...
**[17:27] Chuuya**
There's usually payback for
it ten times over later.
**[17:31] Chuuya**
I don't know what you're planning,
**[17:33] Chuuya**
but fight me, Dazai.
**[17:36] Chuuya**
I'll crush you right
along with your schemes.
**[17:39] Dazai**
Chuuya...
**[17:40] Chuuya**
Yeah?
**[17:44] Chuuya**
So you could've escaped any time?
**[17:46] Dazai**
You, stop *my* plans?
**[17:48] Dazai**
You must be joking.
**[17:51] Chuuya**
I'm liking this turn of events!
**[17:58] Kuni**
Scan through all the security
camera footage in the city!
**[18:00] Kuni**
Everything from the past six hours!
**[18:02] Kuni**
Oh, right!
**[18:03] Kuni**
Where's the Chamber of Commerce
and Industry ledger?
**[18:05] Kenji**
Here.
**[18:07] Rampo**
Oh, this is no good.
**[18:08] Rampo**
This doesn't have any comic strips.
**[18:10] Rampo**
Kenji-kun!
**[18:12] Kenji**
Yes?
**[18:12] Rampo**
Can you look into whether there are
any good homicide cases nearby?
**[18:16] Kenji**
Sure,
**[18:17] Kenji**
but the president won't
be happy with you later.
**[18:20] Rampo**
Never mind, then.
**[18:23] Kuni**
Here!
**[18:26] Kuni**
This photo was provided by one of the
tourists who witnessed the abduction.
**[18:30] Fuku**
You can find trucks like that anywhere.
**[18:32] Kuni**
Yes.
**[18:33] Kuni**
The license plate was fake, as well.
**[18:34] Kuni**
But there are only a handful
of places in Yokohama
**[18:36] Kuni**
that can do this kind of vehicle work.
**[18:39] Kuni**
After Kenji went around to all the
repair shops we could think of,
**[18:42] Kuni**
they were more than happy to tell us more.
**[18:44] Kuni**
The truck's owned by Karma Transit.
**[18:47] Kuni**
They're mules who started off
in the smuggling business.
**[18:50] Fuku**
So they can tell us where he was taken.
**[18:54] Kuni**
Yes.
**[18:55] Kuni**
They're the only ones
outside of the Port Mafia
**[18:57] Kuni**
who might know everything
about the abduction.
**[19:01] Kuni**
Tanizaki is on standby at the site.
**[19:04] Kuni**
He can go in any time.
**[19:07] Tani**
Understood.
**[19:08] Tani**
I'll infiltrate the building now.
**[19:10] Kuni**
What's the sitrep?
**[19:11] Tani**
It's quiet like the bottom of a lake.
**[19:14] Tani**
There are no signs of anyone—
**[19:18] Tani**
wait!

They were one step ahead of us!
**[19:26] Kuni**
Hey, what's the matter?
**[19:28] Tani**
They were prevented from talking to us.
**[19:30] Tani**
They're all dead.
**[19:37] Kuni**
It's Akutagawa.
**[19:38] Yosano**
What are we going to do?
**[19:39] Yosano**
Our only lead just went poof.
**[19:50] Fuku**
Rampo...
**[19:53] Fuku**
It's your turn.
**[19:55] Rampo**
Do I have to?
**[19:57] Kuni**
Rampo-san!
**[19:58] Kuni**
Please, just this time!
**[19:59] Fuku**
Rampo, if you manage to bring the
rookie back safe and sound...
**[20:03] Rampo**
Will I get a special bonus?
**[20:05] Rampo**
A promotion?
**[20:06] Rampo**
There's no need. After all...
**[20:09] Fuku**
I'll give you praise.
**[20:20] Rampo**
W-Well, if you're going that far,
I guess I don't have a choice!
**[20:24] Rampo**
All right!
**[20:31] Rampo**
Ability: Ultra-Deduction!
**[20:32] [SONG] Sign 2034**
Ultra-Deduction
**[20:47] Rampo**
Hmm, I see.
**[20:51] Rampo**
Atsushi-kun's location is...
**[20:53] Rampo**
here!
**[20:55] Rampo**
The vessel's traveling at 20
knots toward the open sea.
**[20:59] Rampo**
He's still alive... at least for now.
**[21:04] Kuni**
The sea...
**[21:07] Fuku**
They're shipping him overseas, then.
**[21:09] Kuni**
That's not good.
**[21:11] Kuni**
Once he's out of the country,
**[21:12] Kuni**
we can't touch him.
**[21:14] Fuku**
Kunikida...
**[21:16] Fuku**
Use this.
**[21:20] Fuku**
It's the Agency's high-speed
vessel docked at port.
**[21:24] Fuku**
Bring him back, no matter what.
**[21:28] Kuni**
Understood.
**[21:30] Kuni**
I will now go rescue Nakajima Atsushi!
**[21:36] Kuni**
*Don't die, brat...*
**[21:39] Kuni**
**[23:11] Aku**
Do you know what it's
like to be at the nadir?
**[23:13] Aku**
It is an infinite darkness
where no light shines.
**[23:17] Aku**
Weretiger, teach her what it's like.
**[23:19] Aku**
To help no one,
**[23:21] Aku**
to be counted on by no one,
**[23:23] Aku**
and to live in hiding,
trembling like a worm.
**[23:27] Naka**
Akutagawa, this ends now.
**[23:29] Naka**
I can't forgive you for this!
**[23:31] Aku**
Neither can I!
**[23:34] Naka**
