Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:06] Takumi     Are they gone? [00:08] Misaki     The reporter left, too. [00:11] Takumi     Well, covering us has to be the     least of her worries today. [00:15] Chief Editor     Listen. Drop this story. [00:18] Kochou     Wh-Why?! [00:20] Chief Editor     That building's been cropping up     in all kinds of rumors for decades. [00:25] Chief Editor     Five years ago, blood from a high-ranking     cop who went missing turned up there. [00:29] Chief Editor     Now a mugger hides in it,     and they force a search? [00:33] Chief Editor     That's not normal. [00:35] Chief Editor     This is no job for a cub reporter. [00:37] Chief Editor     Hand it off to a veteran like Himura. [00:40] Kochou     No, this is my story. [00:45] Chief Editor     If I force her to drop it, she'll take     paid vacation and investigate anyway. [00:50] Kochou     I did it, Chief! [00:51] Kochou     I cracked the case, Chief! [00:53] Kochou     I've got photos to prove it, Chief! [00:55] Chief Editor     Still, it'd be a waste to fire her. [01:01] Chief Editor     Fine. We'll compromise. [01:04] Chief Editor     You can cover the occult story on     this fortune teller, the Corpse God. [01:09] Chief Editor     But don't take the initiative     to go after anything else, [01:13] Chief Editor     and don't report on anything     but fortune telling. [01:15] Kochou     Aww... [01:16] Chief Editor     Don't look at me like that. [01:18] Chief Editor     The flip side is that, if anything     happens, you'll be closest to the scoop. [01:23] Kochou     I know, but... [01:24] Chief Editor     But what? [01:26] Chief Editor     Don't you trust your instinct that     Polka Shinoyama's at the heart of this? [01:35] Kochou     You ought to know me better than that, Chief! [01:38] Kochou     I'll make Polka Shinoyama the     center of this story, all right! [01:43] Kochou     Just watch me! [01:44] Chief Editor     Hey! Whatever else you do,      don't lie in print! [03:19] Xiaoyu     Excuse me, miss. [03:21] Xiaoyu     I bought the extra things you asked me to. [03:25] Sayo     Thanks. [03:29] Takumi     So, seriously, what is that stuff? [03:33] Sayo     Well, think of it as a rent payment. [03:35] Polka     Mana stones! [03:36] Takumi     Uncut gemstones?! SIGN    Mana Stone          - Stones charged with magical power           - Known in this world as gemstones SIGN    m 0 0 l 230 0 230 90 0 90 [03:38] Sayo     I had Xiaoyu-kun visit a bunch     of stores and buy them up for me. [03:43] Polka     Are you sure about this? [03:44] Sayo     It's no big deal. [03:45] Sayo     After all, you saved the real Polka. [03:50] Xiaoyu     Miss Sayo knows that Polka is a fake, too?! [03:53] Xiaoyu     What does she mean,     he "saved the real Polka"? [03:56] Xiaoyu     And what is he going to use that     pile of rough gemstones for? [03:59] Misaki     So, what can you do with all these? [04:03] Polka     Good question. [04:04] Polka     I think I could pull off one big task, [04:07] Polka     but I already have a use in mind [04:10] Polka     and that's... [04:13] Xiaoyu     What does he mean? [04:15] Takumi     Now, the question is, what will we do next? [04:18] Takumi     I got in touch with Clarissa, but what     about the dead body in that tunnel? [04:23] Xiaoyu     A dead body?! [04:24] Xiaoyu     What are they talking about?! [04:25] Polka     For now, I'll make sure no one finds it. [04:29] Takumi     The dead guy is probably Nishida,     one of Clarissa's bartenders. [04:33] Takumi     I sent Urai back to her in     the confusion, but still. [04:37] Polka     That guy worked at Clarissa's bar? [04:40] Takumi     The cops showed up right after     someone dumped Nishida's body. [04:44] Takumi     That's gotta mean that the cops     are working with the killer. [04:49] Takumi     Huh? [04:50] Takumi     Oh, crap! [04:51] Takumi     We'll finish this some other time! [04:52] Takumi     I'll slip out the back,     so you take it from here! [04:55] Takumi     Call me if there's news! [04:57] Takumi     Bye! [04:58] Polka     Uh... Okay. [05:04] Misaki     Wow! Looks tasty! [05:07] Sayo     I can never get over what     a good cook you are. [05:09] Xiaoyu     It's part of my job. [05:11] Misaki     Thanks for making this! [05:15] Iwanome     Hi! [05:16] Polka     Hello. [05:17] Iwanome     Sorry. Were you in the middle of dinner? [05:20] Misaki     Did you come looking for that     mugger, too, detectives? [05:23] Iwanome     Nah. Unfortunately,     we're on the Solitaire case. [05:27] Iwanome     So, I'll cut to the chase. [05:32] Iwanome     You already know why Solitaire     came here, don't you? [05:38] Polka     Why Solitaire came here? [05:41] Polka     This police officer shouldn't     know about that symbol. [05:45] Polka     No, I have no idea. [05:48] Hosorogi     Huh?! [05:49] Hosorogi     P-Polka, you know how I drew     something for this detective? [05:53] Hosorogi     That was actually... [05:55] Iwanome     As far as I know, only one     thing links you and Solitaire: [05:59] Iwanome     the symbol painted on those blimps. [06:02] Iwanome     You're in contact, aren't you? Come on. [06:06] Iwanome     Won't you let me see Hosorogi-san? [06:12] Polka     You mean you've been suspicious     of my fortune telling all along? [06:18] Polka     If you don't believe me,     if we can't establish mutual trust, [06:23] Polka     then I have nothing to say to— [06:24] Iwanome     Hey. [06:26] Iwanome     You can't brush me off this late in the game. [06:30] Polka     I can tell [06:32] Polka     that danger is closing in,     slowly but steadily. [06:37] Polka     How far can my hands reach? [06:40] Polka     Some souls may slip through my fingers. [06:44] Polka     All the more reason to be careful. [06:45] Iwanome     Let's be honest with each other, kid. [06:48] Misaki; Sayo     Dinner... SIGN    Dinner... [06:50] Polka     Can you prove [06:51] Polka     that you haven't been drawn to     the dark side of the police? [06:57] Polka     "The answer lies in the     paper that once guided you." [07:00] Polka     "If you still believe in yourself,      go on chasing it." [07:04] Polka     Or so the person you're waiting for says. [07:13] Takumi     Ugh. [07:14] Takumi     Way too much happened today. [07:16] Takumi     For now, I'd better get all my info in order. [07:20] Takumi     Huh? [07:21] Takumi     I don't remember ordering anything. [07:24] Takumi     It couldn't be Arase... could it? [07:27] Takumi     H-Higuro-san? [07:30] Takumi     Why now, of all times? [07:34] Momoya     I wonder. [07:36] Momoya     Won't you come out? [07:38] Momoya     Higuro-san is so lonely, he might cry. [07:43] Momoya     Of course, you might end     up crying a whole lot more. SIGN    Unlock [07:49] Higuro     Sit tight. I'll be right there. [07:53] Arase     So, Polka Shinoyama really is in     contact with Inspector Hosorogi? [07:57] Iwanome     Who knows? [07:58] Iwanome     But either way, he's right. [08:01] Iwanome     Following the lead on that     fortune-telling paper comes first. [08:06] Arase     Why not act now? [08:08] Iwanome     I'd love to, but our plans will     leak if we do anything careless. [08:13] Arase     Nothing's easy when we can't     trust our own organization, huh? [08:17] Iwanome     You said it. [08:18] Iwanome     No wonder Hosorogi-san     decided to disappear. SIGN    Corruption is eating away from the top.      Don't trust anyone.     There's another garage on the      west side of that place.      The signpost is inside.     The key is behind the mirror of I-383.

[08:34] Higuro     You don't like me much, I see. [08:36] Takumi     Of course not! [08:38] Takumi     You've gotta know I work for Clarissa now! [08:42] Higuro     I know. [08:44] Higuro     That's why I'm here. [08:48] Higuro     Figured it out? [08:49] Takumi     You're the one who made Nishida a mugger? [08:55] Higuro     Just now, you paused for a     moment to think, didn't you? [09:00] Higuro     And to choose your words. [09:02] Higuro     You were wondering whether     to say "mugger" or "corpse." [09:08] Takumi     It was you! [09:10] Higuro     You knew about the body. [09:13] Higuro     Pain is good. It slows judgment. [09:17] Higuro     Makes people fall for leading questions     that would never normally catch them. [09:21] Higuro     Especially people who fear pain, like you. [09:26] Higuro     How did you hide the body in that situation? [09:30] Higuro     You see, my employer wants     to use official power [09:33] Higuro     to lay everyone involved     with your building bare, [09:36] Higuro     so I really need a mugger's     corpse to turn up in it. [09:40] Takumi     You sure you oughta blab all that? [09:43] Higuro     Of course. A smart guy like you must realize [09:46] Higuro     that you have no choice now     that you've heard my plans. [09:51] Momoya     Higuro-san. [09:53] Momoya     He might still have options. [10:03] Takumi     Misaki? [10:06] Sayo     Oh? Where's Misaki-chan? [10:08] Polka     She went to pick up Takumi-kun. [10:10] Polka     Clarissa-san called her about it. [10:13] Higuro     So, Shinjuku's intermediary     predicted what I'd do. [10:25] Momoya     Are you using some kind of trick? [10:27] Momoya     No one your size should     be able to overpower me. [10:32] Misaki     I'm a growing girl! [10:43] Momoya     Missed by a hair. [10:53] Momoya     No one's ever jumped over me before. [10:59] Momoya     In all honesty, [11:02] Momoya     that was a close one. [11:04] Takumi     Misaki. Hey. [11:06] Takumi     Misa... ki... [11:09] Higuro     Oh, dear. This could start a feud     between Shibuya and Shinjuku. [11:13] Momoya     Sounds fun. [11:14] Momoya     If it means I get to fight a lot     more like her, I'm all for it. [11:19] Higuro     I think I'll pass. [11:22] Higuro     Yes. Please forgive me. [11:25] Higuro     There was a slight irregularity.     I'll give you a report later. [11:30] Higuro     Under Sabaramond's aegis,     failure is impossible. [11:34] Sayo     Hey, are you sure that was the     best thing to do with those gems? [11:38] Polka     Yes. I can only do so much, after all. [11:42] Polka     I'd already decided to use     the first stones I got [11:46] Polka     on Misaki-chan's evolution. [11:49] Polka     I don't just want to extend     the reach of my protection. [11:53] Polka     I want to make more allies who     can protect people with me. [11:57] Polka     Misaki-chan isn't a zombie anymore. [12:01] Polka     She's a vampire larva. [12:03] Misaki     What do you know? [12:05] Misaki     I got killed, but I didn't die.     What a weird feeling. [12:08] Misaki     But maybe now I finally get [12:11] Misaki     how it feels to be a whole new me. [12:18] Misaki     Nope. I haven't changed. [12:28] Misaki     I've always been inhuman. SIGN    10 Years Ago [12:40] (Flashback) Clarissa     You... [12:41] (Flashback) Clarissa     don't smile, do you? [12:45] (Flashback) Clarissa     You'd look lovely if you did. [12:48] (Flashback) Misaki     I want to smile, but I forgot how. [12:53] (Flashback) Clarissa     Well, everyone smiles for different reasons, [12:57] (Flashback) Clarissa     but why don't you try doing something     that someone else seems to like? [13:01] (Flashback) Clarissa     Any ideas? [13:03] (Flashback) Misaki     Something that someone else seems to like? [13:08] (Flashback) Misaki     I know. [13:09] (Flashback) Clarissa     What is it? I'll help you try it. [13:14] (Flashback) Misaki     Killing people. [13:22] Higuro     Something just hitched a ride. [13:23] Momoya     A pursuer, do you think? [13:29] Misaki     Whoops. [13:33] Misaki     They're gone. [13:34] Misaki     But I can catch up in no— [13:40] Misaki     Huh? [13:41] Misaki     Wow! [13:43] Misaki     I guess flying up is harder! [13:48] Misaki     Oh, found 'em! [13:57] Misaki     Whoa! Close call! [13:59] Misaki     But wow! This is amazing, Polka-kun! [14:02] Misaki     This body does just what I want,     even though it's all new to me! [14:08] Misaki     Being a vampire rules! I love it! [14:13] Misaki     Hey, Clarissa, [14:15] Misaki     I'm having a ball right now! [14:17] Misaki     I found something fun     apart from killing people! [14:22] Misaki     Who knew going to rescue     someone would be so exciting?! [14:26] Misaki     Or that taking on someone     way stronger than me [14:30] Misaki     could give me such a thrill?! [14:33] Higuro     I know you're awake, Takumi-kun. [14:37] Higuro     If you really are asleep, I could     peel the skin off your arms to wake you. [14:41] Takumi     Fine! [14:43] Takumi     I'm awake! Just lay off the pain! [14:45] Higuro     Oh, good. I didn't want to lose     face in front of Agakura-san. [14:50] Takumi     That beanpole's an Agakura?! [14:53] Momoya     "Beanpole"? Talk about retro vocabulary. [14:57] Momoya     Although I am the tallest in my family. [15:01] Momoya     Still, I guess we're pretty famous. [15:06] Takumi     Of course you are. [15:07] Takumi     The whole underworld knows the Agakuras     are a family of elite nutjobs. [15:12] Takumi     "Never mess with that cult-like Crazy     Bones Kagura gang or the Agakura family." [15:17] Takumi     You're the one who taught me that, [15:19] Takumi     Higuro-san. [15:20] Higuro     Yes, exactly. [15:23] Higuro     That's why I paid to get     Agakura-san's family on my side. [15:27] Higuro     Just like you've allied with the Heilei. [15:31] Takumi     The who? [15:33] Higuro     You don't look like you're playing dumb. [15:35] Higuro     The Shinoyamas must not trust you completely. [15:39] Takumi     What do you mean? [15:41] Higuro     You know that black-haired     boy in your building? [15:44] Higuro     He's an assassin on the     Shinoyama family's payroll. [15:49] Xiaoyu     I was hoping to plant a listening     device at Takumi's place [15:52] Xiaoyu     and learn more about that "dead body." [15:55] Xiaoyu     But why... why is one of* them here? [15:59] Xiaoyu     An Agakura! [16:04] Xiaoyu     I guess the Agakuras are off-limits. [16:07] Xiaoyu     No. [16:09] Xiaoyu     I'm not a Heilei anymore. [16:11] Xiaoyu     It wouldn't hurt to rescue that guy     and put the fake Polka in my debt. [16:16] Higuro     Now, let's continue our chat. [16:20] Higuro     You have no choice. I got that far, didn't I? [16:23] Momoya     Hey. [16:25] Momoya     Doesn't he have two? Choices, I mean. [16:27] Momoya     Cooperate or die. [16:30] Higuro     Oh, not in his case. [16:32] Higuro     Right, Takumi-kun? [16:34] Higuro     To avoid imminent death, you'll sacrifice     the present without a second thought. [16:39] Higuro     This thing on your head is proof of that. [16:42] Higuro     As a child, you believed     in the good in people, SIGN    Dad SIGN    It's your fault. [16:45] Higuro     but society and your parents     betrayed you spectacularly. SIGN    Family Suicide [16:48] Higuro     Then you believed that evil was the way to go,     so you joined the Sanzu Sons... [16:55] Higuro     only for Arase to crush the     gang and your convictions. [16:59] Higuro     Good and evil don't feel real to you. [17:02] Higuro     I heard [17:04] Higuro     that you've developed a phobia of reality. [17:08] Higuro     For peace of mind, you pretend everything     you see through your cameras is a game. [17:14] Higuro     How courageous. I could cry. [17:17] Takumi     You seem to know a lot about me. [17:20] Higuro     Because I valued your ability     to gather intelligence. [17:23] Higuro     I would have liked to recruit     you again if I got the chance, [17:26] Higuro     but Kuraki-san seems to have     taken quite a liking to you. [17:30] Higuro     What were you doing in     that infamous building? [17:33] Higuro     I'd appreciate it if you'd     tell me that and so much more.

[19:17] Higuro     Do you think I'm bluffing? [19:20] Higuro     Something feels... off. [19:23] Higuro     Like he's afraid of pain,     but not actually afraid of dying.* [19:29] Takumi     If I die, [19:31] Takumi     salvage my life, too, Polka!

[20:25] Higuro     Oh, don't worry about that. [20:27] Higuro     The higher-ups will step in for me. [20:29] Takumi     "Higher-ups"? [20:31] Higuro     So rest easy and writhe on the ground.
