[00:11] ---
    --Goddamned corpse!
    --Stay down, damn it!
[00:16] ---
    Why are you getting in my way?
[00:20] ---
    --We're going after him!
    --You stay here!
[00:22] ---
    No, I'll take him down!
[00:24] ---
    Just stay put!
[00:43] ---
    You idiot! Hide!
[00:54] ---
    Kariaena Island. The city of San-Teresa.
[00:57] ---
    This city is the "front door" separating
    the Earth and a strange other world.
[01:01] ---
    A mixture of different races and
    diverse cultures, haves and have-nots...
[01:06] ---
    But in the shadows of all this
    chaos lurked countless crimes.
[01:10] ---
    The San-Teresa Metropolitan Police maintained
[01:13] ---
    a special unit to deal with these crimes.
[02:47] ---
    I can't believe you just sliced him
    open alone, Miss Don Quixote.
[02:52] ---
    It didn't occur to you to arrest him
    so we could question him?
[02:58] ---
    Say something!
[03:00] ---
    He was being controlled via mildey.
[03:03] ---
    Even if we did capture him,
    we wouldn't have been able to learn anything.
[03:07] ---
    Mildey?
[03:08] ---
    Magic. Magic to control the dead, in this case.
[03:12] ---
    He was devoured by evil latena
    and turned into a living corpse.
[03:17] ---
    So you're trying to talk your way out
    of this by blaming some weird spell?
[03:21] ---
    What?
[03:22] ---
    You're interfering with the investigation.
[03:24] ---
    Let me guess. Somebody doesn't want
    us finding out the deal with this fairy,
[03:28] ---
    and they sent you to get in the way.
[03:31] ---
    What are you implying?
[03:32] ---
    What I just said.
[03:34] ---
    I don't know how much they're
    paying you to do it, though.
[03:38] ---
    This is your first and last warning,
    Kae Imatoeba.
[03:42] ---
    Never insult me in that manner again.
[03:46] ---
    Next time, I'll kill you. I'm not joking.
[03:48] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[03:53] ---
    Did the words of a lowly Earthling
    like me tick you off that bad?
[03:57] ---
    Silence!
[03:58] ---
    Right.
[04:08] ---
    Hey, I have a question.
[04:11] ---
    What?
[04:12] ---
    You're serious about arresting
    whoever's behind this
[04:14] ---
    and getting back that fairy, right?
[04:16] ---
    Of course.
[04:17] ---
    Me too, actually.
[04:19] ---
    So why are we yelling and
    pointing weapons at each other?
[04:30] ---
    Well, whatever.
[04:31] ---
    Anyway, I hear you when you say
    he was being controlled.
[04:35] ---
    Another guy like him almost killed me yesterday.
[04:38] ---
    What? Why didn't you say so earlier?
[04:41] ---
    Don't ask me. I'm not your mom.
[04:55] ---
    Kei, want to guess what I found?
[04:57] ---
    I read the report, Cecil.
[04:59] ---
    I want to know what they've got in common.
[05:02] ---
    That's easy.
[05:03] ---
    The man here, who killed your partner,
[05:07] ---
    and this man here, who almost killed you.
[05:10] ---
    Both of them were dead before they died.
[05:13] ---
    I don't understand...
[05:15] ---
    I'm talking about their blood oxygen
    and lactic acid levels.
[05:18] ---
    Both of them should've been dead
    after you shot them,
[05:22] ---
    but for some reason kept moving,
[05:25] ---
    and then only after that did they get
    the numbers a dead person should have.
[05:28] ---
    That's what they have in common.
[05:29] ---
    So they're like zombies?
[05:31] ---
    I don't know. I'm not sure what
    the definition of "zombie" is.
[05:35] ---
    I didn't see any signs of major drug use.
[05:38] ---
    They both seemed to drink and smoke,
[05:40] ---
    but both were in practically perfect health.
[05:41] ---
    I don't know about that.
[05:43] ---
    Um, who is this?
[05:46] ---
    Tilarna Exedilica.
[05:47] ---
    A knight of Mirvor.
[05:49] ---
    Oh, a guest from the other world.
[05:53] ---
    What's she doing?
[05:54] ---
    Looking for magic, she says.
[05:58] ---
    Kei.
[05:59] ---
    Don't look at me like that.
    I'm completely sane.
[06:02] ---
    He's the same.
[06:03] ---
    He smells of evil latena.
[06:05] ---
    What's latena?
[06:06] ---
    Latena is latena.
[06:09] ---
    Some kind of magical energy source or something.
[06:12] ---
    I don't get it either.
[06:13] ---
    The latena of a fairy
    warped through some horrible method.
[06:17] ---
    They ingested it on a regular basis,
    and it turned them into dead men.
[06:22] ---
    Are you talking about a drug? From Semani?
[06:27] ---
    Fairy dust?
    These guys were regular users, right?
[06:31] ---
    If you call the dead "regular users," then yes.
[06:34] ---
    The Marzaney Sect has spells
    that can control the dead.
[06:38] ---
    Well, that would explain why
    it didn't show up on my tests.
[06:40] ---
    That drug is one big mystery to us.
[06:42] ---
    All we know is that it's made from fairies.
[06:45] ---
    To do this to a noble fairy...
[06:48] ---
    What terrible people.
[06:50] ---
    So, can you use magic?
[06:53] ---
    It's called mildey. And I can use a little.
[06:55] ---
    Then follow the trail of this latena stuff.
    Like a police dog.
[07:00] ---
    You seem to lack imagination, Kae Imatoeba.
[07:03] ---
    Mildey is powerful, but not all-powerful.
[07:06] ---
    Pound that fact into
    what little brains you have.
[07:09] ---
    Good advice from a noble but useless woman.
[07:13] ---
    So um, are you two not friends, then?
[07:16] ---
    If it looks that way, that's probably the case.
[07:19] ---
    Is there anyone out there
    who does like this man?
[07:23] ---
    I see.
[07:27] ---
    Kei.
[07:29] ---
    You okay?
[07:31] ---
    I think so.
[07:34] ---
    Call me anytime.
[07:36] ---
    Sure, thanks.
[07:40] ---
    What was that conversation?
[07:42] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[07:43] ---
    No, I'm curious. Tell me.
[07:46] ---
    She's my ex.
[07:48] ---
    What's an ex?
[07:50] ---
    Shut up.
[07:52] ---
    The problem is when the attack occurred.
[07:55] ---
    Either they were watching Alvarez
    or there was a leak.
[07:59] ---
    No way to tell.
[08:00] ---
    There's any number of possibilities.
[08:03] ---
    Oh, but you don't have to worry
    about our brave knight here.
[08:07] ---
    She doesn't even know how to make a phone call.
[08:10] ---
    I do too. I read it in a book.
[08:12] ---
    Really? Wow, you're so smart!
[08:16] ---
    Sorry.
[08:18] ---
    Anyway, so yeah.
    I'll be keeping my reports to a minimum.
[08:21] ---
    Sounds good. Be careful.
[08:24] ---
    Roger.
[08:27] ---
    What do we do now?
[08:28] ---
    We do this the boring way.
    But well, it's late. We'll start tomorrow.
[08:34] ---
    I see.
[08:35] ---
    Where are you staying? I'll take you there.
[08:38] ---
    This is my phone number.
[08:40] ---
    I don't want any trouble, so just go
    straight to your room and go to sleep.
[08:44] ---
    Don't worry. I'm not a child.
[08:46] ---
    You look like one. That's why I'm worried.
[08:49] ---
    I'm 26, you know!
[08:51] ---
    That's 18 in Earth years. Bye.
[08:55] ---
    Wait!
[09:04] ---
    It's so damn cold tonight...
[09:09] ---
    Hello?
[09:10] ---
    I got kicked out of the hotel.
[09:13] ---
    They say you can't bring weapons into the hotel.
[09:15] ---
    They demanded to hold on to my sword.
[09:18] ---
    Then let them hold on to it.
[09:20] ---
    I can't do that!
[09:21] ---
    To a knight, a sword is every bit
    as valuable as their life!
[09:24] ---
    Then sleep on the ground somewhere.
    Not my problem.
[09:27] ---
    Wai--
[09:41] ---
    Damn it all!
[09:56] ---
    The sleeping quarters at
    the police station are always full.
[09:59] ---
    And a lot of people there don't like Semanians.
[10:01] ---
    Sleep at my place.
[10:03] ---
    At your place?
[10:04] ---
    Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything.
[10:07] ---
    Of course not.
[10:08] ---
    But I don't want any rumors or scandal
    or things that could hurt my honor...
[10:14] ---
    Then just don't tell anybody!
    Shut up, already.
[10:20] ---
    Come in. You can get your stuff later.
[10:25] ---
    Why are you putting that on?
[10:27] ---
    I have a cat allergy.
[10:33] ---
    Kae!
[10:36] ---
    Kei?
[10:37] ---
    Oh, I meant the cat.
[10:40] ---
    It's the word for it in my language.
[10:41] ---
    I thought you were talking about me.
[10:44] ---
    What's the name of that kae--no, cat?
[10:47] ---
    Kuroi.
[10:48] ---
    What's an allergy?
[10:51] ---
    I have trouble breathing when I'm around him.
[10:53] ---
    It's a genetic thing.
[10:55] ---
    Then why are you keeping a cat?
[10:59] ---
    You're full of questions, aren't you?
    Give me a break.
[11:13] ---
    About three months ago, I think it was,
[11:16] ---
    a drug dealer that I was chasing
    hit her when she was a stray.
[11:21] ---
    And?
[11:22] ---
    I caught the guy, and she survived.
[11:27] ---
    But nobody else in the department wanted her.
[11:30] ---
    So I'm keeping her temporarily.
[11:33] ---
    Even though you've got a cat allergy?
[11:35] ---
    What else can I do?
    It was partially my fault.
[11:38] ---
    I'm looking for someone to take her,
    but with no luck.
[11:43] ---
    What?
[11:44] ---
    No...
[11:47] ---
    Is it that funny?
[11:48] ---
    I'm sorry, Kei, but this is...
[11:59] ---
    "You're a good kitty, Kuroi."
[12:02] ---
    Kae Imatoeba, you're more
    of a softie than you look.
[12:06] ---
    That's not it.
[12:07] ---
    If I threw an injured cat out in the cold,
    I'd have trouble sleeping at night.
[12:11] ---
    I'm just doing it for myself in the end.
[12:13] ---
    So I'm the same as the cat, huh?
[12:16] ---
    If you don't like it, back to the park with you.
[12:19] ---
    No, I'll stay here. I like it.
[12:22] ---
    My place?
[12:23] ---
    No, this kae.
[12:26] ---
    Not you, I mean.
[12:30] ---
    Okay, find a place to sleep.
[12:33] ---
    Don't let Kuroi in the bedroom.
[12:36] ---
    Kei Matoba.
[12:38] ---
    I actually was feeling a bit lonely.
[12:41] ---
    "Thank you."
[12:43] ---
    You're welcome.
[12:45] ---
    Um, "Good night" is...
[12:48] ---
    "Good night."
[12:50] ---
    That's right.
[12:51] ---
    "Good night."
[13:06] ---
    She was making fun of my name
[13:09] ---
    the whole time?
[13:31] ---
    Did I keep you waiting, Mr. Kareem?
[13:34] ---
    Let's not waste time, Mr. Elbaji.
[13:37] ---
    Let's do the deal.
[13:44] ---
    Okay, Mr. Terrorist.
[13:46] ---
    Cash payment is great, huh?
[13:48] ---
    Pay us the rest when you get the goods.
[13:51] ---
    You seem to be doing well.
[13:54] ---
    Yeah, I guess.
[13:55] ---
    Thanks to those poor fairies,
    we can all live the good life.
[14:00] ---
    That car, for instance. It's 300,000 dollars.
[14:03] ---
    These sneakers are 3,000 dollars.
[14:07] ---
    But I can have a good time
    with a girl for three dollars.
[14:10] ---
    You know why that is?
[14:11] ---
    No.
[14:12] ---
    Because I'm hot!
[14:14] ---
    Earth girls are all about looks.
[14:19] ---
    They're easy.
[14:20] ---
    I'm only interested in the product.
[14:23] ---
    Oh, sorry. Sorry.
[14:25] ---
    Hey, Zelada!
[14:28] ---
    You called, my lord?
[14:30] ---
    Mr. Kareem, allow me to
    introduce you to Zelada the Sage.
[14:34] ---
    He's this wizard you were telling me about?
[14:36] ---
    That's right. The greatest in the world
    when it comes to controlling the dead.
[14:40] ---
    Your words honor me, sir.
[14:42] ---
    I simply do what I can
    for the sake of my master.
[14:47] ---
    He said "the dead."
    Does he mean users of fairy dust?
[14:51] ---
    Indeed.
[14:53] ---
    My magics have not the slightest
    effect on those who are pure of soul.
[14:59] ---
    And that's where this comes in!
[15:01] ---
    That's the fairy bomb?
[15:03] ---
    A prototype, but yeah.
[15:05] ---
    I'm about to test it right now.
[15:07] ---
    What do you mean?
[15:09] ---
    I called them here. Using 911.
[15:12] ---
    I said something about suspicious
    people making a ruckus.
[15:15] ---
    This place is off limits.
[15:17] ---
    --Hands above your heads, all of you!
    --Don't look at the light.
[15:28] ---
    And it takes effect instantly!
[15:30] ---
    What's the verdict, Zelada?
[15:32] ---
    It worked, my lord.
    The two of them are already dead.
[15:38] ---
    Make 'em salute, then.
[15:40] ---
    As you wish.
[15:43] ---
    Have one shoot the other.
[15:45] ---
    Yes, sir.
[15:51] ---
    Poor bastard! He's dead!
[15:53] ---
    Now... hmm...
[15:56] ---
    Make him dance on the hood!
[16:01] ---
    Zelada, looks like you don't
    know how to dance, huh?
[16:06] ---
    I'm sorry, sir.
[16:09] ---
    Hilarious, huh? Huh?
[16:12] ---
    How many can be controlled by this?
[16:14] ---
    Five thousand? Ten thousand?
    However many you like.
[16:16] ---
    The most I've ever controlled at once is 100.
[16:20] ---
    What?
[16:22] ---
    That was a prototype.
    The finished product will be even more amazing.
[16:26] ---
    We're using the entire body of a powerful fairy.
[16:30] ---
    The blast radius should be...
    five kilometers or so?
[16:34] ---
    That's the size of a nuke.
[16:36] ---
    We could use this to overthrow
    the government of a superpower!
[16:40] ---
    Use it however you like.
[16:42] ---
    You'll have to rent Zelada too, though.
[16:46] ---
    We'll pay.
[16:47] ---
    Sounds good.
[16:49] ---
    I'll get it ready for you,
    so make sure you've got the cash.
[16:51] ---
    My lord, what should we do with him?
[16:54] ---
    Oh, take care of him.
[17:36] ---
    It's not the first time I've been
    pallbearer for a coworker,
[17:39] ---
    but you know, it's tough.
[17:41] ---
    It's part of the job.
[17:43] ---
    The force has lost three people this month.
    Morale's in the gutter.
[17:49] ---
    But the city council's trying
    to cut our budget even more.
[17:54] ---
    They don't see the reality. The bastards.
[17:58] ---
    Chief?
[18:00] ---
    Never mind. Focus on the job in front of you.
[18:09] ---
    Are you sure you're okay?
[18:11] ---
    With what?
[18:12] ---
    Nothing.
[18:14] ---
    Let's go.
[18:19] ---
    Was it long?
[18:20] ---
    Was what long?
[18:21] ---
    Your relationship with the deceased.
    You were his partner, right?
[18:24] ---
    Yeah, I guess. Rick was a good guy.
[18:27] ---
    He and I never did agree on which
    baseball team to support, though.
[18:33] ---
    In my country, it's said that
    those who are mourned by many
[18:37] ---
    go to a country of eternal,
    peaceful spring after death.
[18:41] ---
    That's probably what will
    happen to Detective Fury.
[18:44] ---
    Trying to make me feel better?
[18:46] ---
    Is that bad?
[18:47] ---
    No.
[18:49] ---
    Do you know what you should
    say at times like this, then?
[18:52] ---
    "Dasch zanna." "Thank you," right?
[18:55] ---
    Well done.
[18:59] ---
    Kei, got a second?
[19:00] ---
    What's up, Jamie?
[19:02] ---
    You know a patrol car went missing last night?
[19:06] ---
    The one from precinct 22, right?
[19:08] ---
    It was found in Eastrock Park.
[19:11] ---
    Along with two dead officers.
[19:21] ---
    We know that they were killed
    at a construction site in Redmoor.
[19:25] ---
    They were brought here in their
    patrol car and then thrown into the lake.
[19:29] ---
    You're sure it's murder?
[19:31] ---
    From the angle of the bullet wound,
    this one looks like suicide.
[19:34] ---
    Not sure. We'll have to wait
    for the autopsy to be sure.
[19:38] ---
    Let's have our police dog take a look...
[19:41] ---
    Hey, Tilarna!
[19:48] ---
    I'm surprised you remembered my name!
[19:52] ---
    Just take a look at the bodies.
[19:54] ---
    Bonah Tilarna.
[19:56] ---
    That's what I told you to call me.
[19:57] ---
    Just take a look at this!
[20:01] ---
    These are dead.
    Just like the assassin and the dealer.
[20:06] ---
    So they were regular users of fairy dust?
[20:08] ---
    These guys were cops.
[20:10] ---
    But I'm sure of it.
[20:11] ---
    If a cop's using, his coworkers
    are gonna notice right away.
[20:15] ---
    Maybe they used gold jewelry.
[20:17] ---
    Gold jewelry?
[20:18] ---
    Gold jewelry can be used as a catalyst
    to enhance the power of latena.
[20:22] ---
    But if you wanted something
    with this kind of power,
[20:24] ---
    you couldn't have a mistake
    the width of a human hair.
[20:27] ---
    Even the best craftsmen
    in my country couldn't make it.
[20:30] ---
    Maybe I'm wrong.
[20:32] ---
    No, wait.
[20:33] ---
    Maybe a human couldn't do it.
[20:36] ---
    But what about a digitally
    controlled manufacturing device?
[20:40] ---
    Okay, there we go.
[20:43] ---
    What?
[20:44] ---
    Not many people are buying
    powerful manufacturing machines.
[20:47] ---
    I found someone using a dummy corporation. Look.
[20:51] ---

    want with a manufacturing device?
[20:57] ---
    Let's arrest him!
[20:58] ---
    For what?

[21:35] ---

    I thought it was more important than her life...
