[00:50] ---
    Shirley! Hang in there! Shirley! Shirley!
[01:12] ---
    It's nice to be back!
[01:16] ---
    I thought we were never
    coming back to this city?
[01:20] ---
    Well, that was the plan,
    but today's a special exception.
[01:25] ---
    Special, how?
[01:29] ---
    Today's Shirley's birthday.
[01:34] ---
    None of us know our
    real birthdays, of course,
[01:39] ---
    so we used to celebrate the day
    we each showed up as our birthdays.
[01:45] ---
    Problem is, we don't have
    any money to buy her a present...
[01:49] ---
    Meg.
[01:50] ---
    What?
[01:51] ---
    When is my birthday?
[01:55] ---
    --How should I know?!
    --Hey, there! You two!
[01:59] ---
    Please! Save my little one!
[02:04] ---
    Okay! We can discuss payment
    after we get the cat down!
[02:10] ---
    Now we can buy Shirley a present!
[02:13] ---
    Be sure you do this right, now!
[02:15] ---
    I just need to bring it down?
[02:17] ---
    Yep!
[02:20] ---
    You idiot! Don't "bring it down" that way!
[02:24] ---
    Or that way!
[02:26] ---
    Geez... You have no sense of creativity.
[02:31] ---
    Never mind! I'll climb up and get it!
[02:36] ---
    Meg.
[02:38] ---
    Get below the cat.
[02:41] ---
    What are you gonna do?
[02:42] ---
    Be creative.
[03:03] ---
    Why are you mad?
    I got it down without killing it...
[03:09] ---
    This is why!
[03:10] ---
    Couldn't you have gotten that
    fatso cat down more gently?!
[03:17] ---
    Well, whatever. We did get her a present.
[03:25] ---
    Hi!
[03:26] ---
    Is there a Sam here?
[03:28] ---
    Sure is! My name's Sam, too!
[03:31] ---
    Oh, yeah? But I mean the hefty
    Sam with the big ol' gorilla mouth.
[03:42] ---
    Oh, Sam! Seems you have visitors.
[03:47] ---
    Heya. Remember us?
[03:49] ---
    Come with me, you two.
[03:53] ---
    Don't tell me you're here to
    round up your friends again?
[03:58] ---
    No!
[03:59] ---
    Then why?
[04:02] ---
    This! Shirley's birthday present!
[04:07] ---
    It's today?
[04:08] ---
    Well, no, but we each had our
    own day when we all lived together.
[04:14] ---
    I figured Shirley might feel
    sad if we forgot about hers, so...
[04:19] ---
    I see. Thanks for going out of your way.
[04:23] ---
    So, is everyone doing well?
[04:26] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[04:27] ---
    But actually, I'm busy now.
    Could we save the chit-chat for later?
[04:32] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[04:35] ---
    Sam. How's Shirley doing?
[04:38] ---
    What a real tragedy...
[04:42] ---
    Did something happen to Shirley?
[04:47] ---
    Sam! Answer me!
[04:50] ---
    Sam!
[04:52] ---
    Sam!
[05:46] ---
    An unidentified person has
    been murdering random people.
[05:50] ---
    Shirley's not going to die, is she?!
[05:53] ---
    The doctors have upgraded
    her condition from critical.
[05:58] ---
    The children were taken
    in as wards of the state,
[06:01] ---
    and Dorothy and Charlie were
    sent to a boarding school.
[06:05] ---
    So there's no need to worry.
[06:09] ---
    No need to worry?
[06:12] ---
    The hell there isn't!
    She's seriously injured!
[06:18] ---
    Meg, let's avenge Shirley.
[06:30] ---
    I hear there was another
    murder in the West Land District.
[06:34] ---
    Yes.
[06:37] ---
    The culprit hasn't been caught yet, I assume?
[06:41] ---
    It is v ery difficult to conduct
    investigations in that area...
[06:46] ---
    But any further fatalities and
    the police will garner sharp criticism.
[06:52] ---
    I, too, want this city purged
    of every dangerous quarter!
[07:00] ---
    Don't you feel the same?
[07:03] ---
    Of course, Mayor.
[07:07] ---
    A city is a living being.
[07:08] ---
    When new flesh is made,
    the old cells peel off.
[07:16] ---
    Such is the fate of
    those living in that district.
[07:25] ---
    What's that?
[07:28] ---
    It's cut cleanly in two.
[07:31] ---
    Was it the killer?
[07:33] ---
    If so, he's good.
[07:37] ---
    Whoever he is, he's gonna
    suffer 100 times what Shirley did!
[08:00] ---
    Sam, sorry to hear about Shirley.
[08:05] ---
    If there's anything I can do,
    just let me know. And, umm...
[08:10] ---
    You know.
[08:14] ---
    I can understand being upset
    after your daughter was attacked,
[08:17] ---
    but you'll bring trouble upon
    everyone if you get any weird ideas.
[08:21] ---
    We both want things to work out, right?
[08:27] ---
    Who exactly are we?
[08:32] ---
    Ordinary policemen.
[08:51] ---
    Here, use this.
[08:54] ---
    Ain't anyone walking
    outside on a night like this.
[08:58] ---
    I bet even the killer's at home, watching TV.
[09:02] ---
    Thank you.
[09:14] ---
    Oww... What's going on?
[09:17] ---
    Huh? It's pitch-dark...
[09:43] ---
    Jo!
[10:27] ---
    Just when I'm getting started!
[10:30] ---
    Screw you, you flaming freak!
[10:46] ---
    What happened?! You alright?!
[10:48] ---
    Sam!
[11:16] ---
    Calmed down any?
[11:18] ---
    Yeah.
[11:22] ---
    Why did you do something so stupid?
[11:25] ---
    You could have been killed!
[11:29] ---
    We only tried to catch 'em
    because you cops refuse to!
[11:34] ---
    Though they still got away.
[11:37] ---
    But I got a good look at that pervert's face!
[11:43] ---
    Let's make a composite photo
    while I still remember it. Okay?
[11:48] ---
    You need to leave the city tomorrow.
[11:53] ---
    Do it, or I'll arrest you.
[11:56] ---
    Hold on. Since when did
    you cops join the bad guys?
[12:01] ---
    Having you mill about will
    cause all kinds of trouble.
[12:07] ---
    What does that mean?!
[12:09] ---
    Refusing to avenge Shirley...
    And you call yourself her father?!
[12:13] ---
    --What?!
    - -What?!
[12:16] ---
    It's because I'm her
    father that I'm holding back!
[12:21] ---
    I can't live carelessly in
    this world the way you two do!
[12:27] ---
    Why won't you try to catch the killer,
    after all these murders?!
[12:31] ---
    That's just not right!
[12:34] ---
    I do know who's behind it!
[12:53] ---
    It's not as if I didn't try to do anything.
[12:57] ---
    But when I learned even the
    commissioner was being suppressed
[13:01] ---
    by the influence standing behind the killer,
[13:05] ---
    I realized it was pointless
    for me to struggle.
[13:09] ---
    Accepting reality was the only
    way to continue living peacefully
[13:16] ---
    with the children.
[13:20] ---
    Were we wrong?
[13:24] ---
    Will Shirley and the others fall on
    hard times if we get rid of the killer?
[13:29] ---
    Will they, Jo?
[13:33] ---
    I don't know. But...
[13:36] ---
    But?
[13:38] ---
    Those guys are cowards.
    They only kill people weaker than them.
[13:45] ---
    I can't tolerate people like that.
[13:51] ---
    Y-Yeah, Jo! I can't tolerate them, either!
[13:56] ---
    So let's stay here until
    we've avenged Shirley!
[14:00] ---
    Let's make them pay big-time,
    even if the cops won't help us!
[14:11] ---
    You must be hungry too, Jo!
    Hold on! I'll go get us some bread!
[15:07] ---
    Heya
[15:08] ---
    Yo.
[15:11] ---
    W-What are you...
[15:13] ---
    Hey! What're you doing?!
[15:16] ---
    Meg's been kidnapped. Where is the bastard?!
[15:21] ---
    Just what are you--
[15:23] ---
    Where do you think you are?!
    Give yourself up!
[15:30] ---
    Gonna resist, huh?! Alright, get her!
[15:35] ---
    --Don't be getting in my way!
    --Okay, okay! Stop!
[15:52] ---
    I'll be back.
[15:53] ---
    Don't be stupid. I'm coming, too!
[15:55] ---
    If you die, Shirley will fall on hard times.
[16:36] ---
    Oww! Couldn't you take it off more gently?!
[16:39] ---
    Where are they?
[16:41] ---
    How should I know?
[16:42] ---
    Many thanks for making it so you
    both die together, you damn brats!
[16:48] ---
    See ya!
[16:55] ---
    T-This is bad! What do we do?!
[17:26] ---
    --Are we saved?!
    - -Not yet.
[17:28] ---
    Eh?!
[17:29] ---
    Run!
[17:42] ---
    This place totally reeks.
[17:46] ---
    Think soap'll get it off?
[17:48] ---
    I don't know how you can stand it, Jo.
[17:53] ---
    W-What is it? Does the smell bother you, too?
[18:02] ---
    What's going on, all of a sudden?!
[18:04] ---
    Look behind you!
[18:06] ---
    At what?
[18:10] ---
    Don't stop! It'll catch up!
[18:12] ---
    Yes, I can tell that!
[18:21] ---
    Don't leave my side!
[18:39] ---
    Keep going!
[18:42] ---
    He's coming up!
[18:51] ---
    Hurry!
[19:18] ---
    Where are we?!
[19:24] ---
    Jo!
[19:28] ---
    Jo!
[19:36] ---
    No...
[19:43] ---
    Nice! Her world is truly
    filled with despair and terror!
[19:48] ---
    Now what?! Your useless partner is gone!
[19:57] ---
    Suicide? That sounds nice, too!
[20:00] ---
    Assuming you have the
    courage to jump, of course!
[20:06] ---
    No...
[20:14] ---
    I'm... done for...
[20:23] ---
    Meg!
[20:26] ---
    Don't give up until we've avenged Shirley!
[20:31] ---
    Jo...
[20:35] ---
    What?!
[20:46] ---
    Meg! Avenge her!
[21:46] ---
    I've swept yesterday's incident
    under the rug as a VTOL accident.
[21:50] ---
    I've also secretly recovered
    the mech that you provided him.
[21:55] ---
    Have you identified the two who
    destroyed the guerilla combat cybot?
[21:59] ---
    The commissioner is searching.
    He wouldn't want to lose his job.
[22:02] ---
    Fred lost his life because
    of something so trivial.
[22:06] ---
    My deepest condolences for your son.
[22:10] ---
    Condolences? My son is still alive, you know.
[22:15] ---
    This city is my son.
[22:22] ---
    That's the ship Sam arranged for us!
[22:28] ---
    So this is goodbye to this country...
[22:33] ---
    Still, I'll be fine wherever I go,
    as long as I'm with you, Jo!
[22:40] ---
    I see.
[22:47] ---
    Here! You must be cold
    with your short hair now!
[22:52] ---
    Shirley, open it up.
[23:08] ---
    You like it?
[23:10] ---
    No, it's actually not from me.
[23:14] ---
    It's from a strong,
    kind angel who came to this city
[23:18] ---
    because she was worried about you.
[23:21] ---
