SIGN    Troublemakers Troublemakers at Large [00:14] Iwanome     As you know, everyone on this     list is now in custody or dead. [00:19] Member D     Who gave them those weird nicknames? [00:22] Member C     He did. [00:23] Iwanome     You there! Cut the chitchat! [00:26] Iwanome     What's wrong with nicknames?     Not like they'll ever go public. [00:29] Arase     Sounds like someone's self-conscious. [00:31] Iwanome     Anyway! SIGN    Troublemakers [00:32] Iwanome     Cracking cases we can't make public,     and that no one would believe if we did, [00:39] Iwanome     is our job here at Materials Compiling     Group #3, or Comps-3 for short. [00:44] Iwanome     Now... SIGN     [00:45] Iwanome     the Grim Reaper, SIGN     [00:46] Iwanome     the Fire-Breathing Bug, SIGN     [00:48] Iwanome     and Lemmings. [00:50] Iwanome     These three troublemakers are still at large. [00:53] Iwanome     Add to that the skeletons     in the fire two days ago [00:56] Iwanome     and the human knots yesterday. [00:59] Aikawa     Also, one set of footprints at the scene     of the human knots matched Lemmings's. SIGN    Troublemakers Troublemakers at Large [01:07] Iwanome     And we think the Fire-Breathing Bug started     the fire the skeletons appeared in. [01:12] Iwanome     We don't know if they're connected     to the human knots yet, [01:15] Iwanome     but evidence points to two troublemakers     in a couple of days. We can't ignore that. [01:20] Member A     Could the skeletons be CGI? [01:22] Aikawa     Their size and perspective is     consistent across multiple videos. [01:27] Aikawa     If that was faked in real time,     all video evidence would be worthless. [01:33] Aikawa     End of story. [01:34] Member C     And if they were smoke and mirrors,     how did the kids get out? [01:38] Member D     Social media and occult websites     can't stop talking about it. SIGN    Troublemakers [01:42] Iwanome     Well, don't panic. [01:44] Iwanome     We managed to explain all     the others in the end. [01:47] Iwanome     Even Phantom Solitaire turned out     to just be an incredibly skilled person. [01:53] Iwanome     None of our cases have turned up a real     ghost or dragon-summoning wizard. [01:59] Iwanome     And that won't change.     The perp is always human. [02:05] Iwanome     And, since they're human, [02:08] Iwanome     we can take them. [03:51] Polka     There. It worked. [03:53] Polka     I moved Polka-kun's original     soul into this stuffed animal, [03:57] Polka     so you can have your drone back. [03:59] Takumi     Oh! Welcome home, my darling drone-chan! [04:03] Takumi     How I've missed you! [04:06] Polka     Really, I ought to call you Polka-kun, [04:10] Polka     but I'll be borrowing your name     and identity a little longer. Sorry. [04:14] Polka     I promise I'll make it up to you. [04:18] Misaki     Oh! [04:19] Misaki     What's this?! It's so cute! [04:21] Misaki     Did you buy it, Polka-kun? [04:23] Misaki     Wow! It turned red! [04:26] Takumi     He gets turned on by the girl who killed him? [04:29] Takumi     I guess the real Polka was a weirdo, too. [04:33] Takumi     I can't tell what he's trying to say. [04:35] Polka     I could make it so he can talk. [04:37] Takumi     Huh? [04:38] Polka     I'd only need fresh human vocal cords. [04:41] Takumi     Those ain't easy to get! [04:43] Polka     Creating them from nothing     would drain a lot of mana. [04:47] Polka     I suppose I ought to replenish my     magical power before I focus on money. [04:51] Polka     But this world has so little mana in     the air, and I sense so few spirits. [04:57] Takumi     So, what'll you do? [04:58] Polka     I can usually draw on ghosts for power. [05:01] Polka     It takes more energy than you'd think to     keep a human soul in the living world. [05:07] Polka     Grudges, regrets, that sort of thing. [05:10] Polka     And by exorcising ghosts, necromancers     can convert that power into magic. [05:18] Polka     That made this building an even better     source of mana than an old battlefield. [05:24] Takumi     You won't find many other     places like this, you know? [05:27] Polka     Don't worry! [05:29] Polka     Your world has mana stones,     just like mine did! [05:32] Takumi     Mana-what-now? SIGN    Gemstones of the World [05:33] Polka     They're rocks. You call them "gemstones" here. [05:36] Polka     Diamonds, sapphires, and the like were     high-density mana stones in my world. [05:42] Polka     With just one bucket of them, [05:45] Polka     I'll have all the arcane power I need     to strike it rich in this world. [05:52] Takumi     Wow. Amazing. [05:54] Takumi     Now, go take a look at reality. [05:58] Polka     Pardon? [06:01] Polka     Th-This one stone costs thirty times     one of your officials' daily wages? [06:08] Polka     I never dreamed it would be so costly. [06:10] Misaki     Were they cheaper in your world? [06:13] Polka     Yes, even children could easily afford them. SIGN    The Imperial Dazzling Corps     keeps the peace! SIGN    Everyday convenience thanks to magical circuitry! SIGN    Heaps of mana stones from magic-rich caves! [06:16] Misaki     Wow. [06:19] Polka     But for the sake of a peaceful life,      I'll persevere. [06:23] Polka     If I save up enough money to buy every     jewel in this shop, I can manage. SIGN    Putting the cart before the horse [06:29] Employee     At this afternoon's market values,     that would be 3,812,795,800 yen. [06:37] Polka     I'm not used to this currency,     so that doesn't quite click. [06:42] Employee     Thank you very much. [06:45] Polka     And I could feel such potent     mana from the stones... [06:48] Misaki     Can't you suck out the     magic through the cases? [06:51] Polka     The stones would crumble if I did. [06:54] Polka     That wouldn't be fair to the shopkeepers. [06:57] Takumi     So, you've got scruples about theft? [07:00] Takumi     Okay. Now what? [07:03] Takumi     Hm? [07:07] Takumi     Crap! [07:13] Arase     Don't be so cold. [07:15] Arase     What are you running for, [07:17] Arase     criminal? [07:19] Iwanome     Hey. Glad I managed to catch     you today, Clarissa-chan. [07:23] Clarissa     What brings you here, Inspector? [07:25] Iwanome     Oh, I've been dying to chat with you. [07:30] Iwanome     Your people were awfully busy when the     Shakuzawa Building caught fire, yeah? [07:37] Iwanome     That info broker's drones     were spotted near the scene. [07:41] Iwanome     Then, yesterday, we found     some guys in real bad shape. [07:45] Iwanome     They worked for one of your     lackeys, a guy called Jinba. [07:50] Iwanome     It got me wondering if there's a connection. [07:54] Iwanome     So, being a cop, I'm gonna need     to ask you some questions. [08:02] Iwanome     How deep is your organization     mixed up in this, [08:06] Iwanome     Lisa Kuraki? [08:11] Arase     Oh, sorry. Did I startle you? [08:15] Arase     Don't mind me. [08:16] Arase     Please. [08:18] Polka     O-Okay. [08:19] Misaki     Watch out, Polka-kun.     This guy's probably bad news. [08:24] Arase     I know you can hear me, Takumi Kuruya-kun. [08:28] Arase     You can talk through your drones when     their propellers aren't spinning. [08:33] Takumi     Of all the guys who could've     caught me! What'll I do?! [08:37] Takumi     If he's not after Polka and Misaki,     maybe I can play dumb? [08:41] Polka     Excuse me. [08:43] Arase     I believe I asked you nicely to ignore me. [08:48] Polka     You did, but that drone means     a lot to a friend of mine. [08:54] Arase     A friend? You mean Takumi-kun? [08:58] Polka     Yes. [09:00] Arase     That's no good. I mean,     you must still be in high school. [09:05] Arase     Hang around human garbage like him,     and you'll end up just as rotten. [09:10] Arase     Cut ties with him. Right here, right now. [09:14] Arase     What? [09:16] Arase     He's awfully chilly. [09:18] Polka     Garbage? Scum? Impure? [09:24] Polka     I think society decides     who those labels apply to. [09:28] Polka     But... [09:29] Polka     I decide who my friends are. [09:40] Arase     I see. [09:41] Arase     Now I'm curious. [09:43] Arase     Would you mind telling     me a bit about yourself? [09:53] Takumi     Kouzaburou Arase. [09:55] Takumi     He may be a detective with the     Shinjuku Community Safety Division, [09:59] Takumi     but he's way scarier than any thug. [10:03] Takumi     When I used to run intel for     a street gang, I saw him... [10:09] Takumi     demolish eight of their toughest     fighters in no time flat. [10:17] Takumi     Can you hear me, Polka? [10:18] Takumi     Don't answer; he'll catch on. [10:20] Takumi     Hide your power. [10:22] Takumi     If you catch his eye,     you can kiss a peaceful life goodbye. [10:25] Takumi     He's a cop. [10:28] Arase     Is he the one who asked you? [10:30] Arase     To be friends, that is. [10:32] Arase     You shouldn't trust strangers     who act too friendly. [10:36] Arase     Didn't your parents teach you that? [10:39] Polka     My parents sold me, so I wouldn't know. [10:42] Arase     They "sold" you? [10:44] Polka     Oh, sorry. That was in my past life. [10:48] Arase     Curiouser and curiouser. [10:50] Arase     I'd really like to know your name. [10:53] Takumi     Misaki visits Clarissa's too often. [10:57] Takumi     Polka probably will, too.     We can't afford an investigation! [11:05] Takumi     Hey, Arase, man. [11:07] Takumi     It's been a while since our last chat. [11:10] Arase     Now this is a surprise.     You know my phone number? [11:14] Arase     You must have really improved since then. [11:18] Takumi     Those are just my gaming buddies.     Their relatives work at Clarissa's bar. [11:23] Takumi     They're not in on any shady stuff.     Can't you cut 'em a break? [11:27] Arase     I'm questioning them to find that out. [11:31] Takumi     Look, I know I'll get     fined for illegal flying, [11:37] Takumi     but you'll get it worse if video of you     hassling innocent kids hits the net. [11:42] Arase     Really? You're trying to negotiate with me? [11:48] Arase     Having some distance between     us sure makes you cocky. [11:53] Arase     Hard to believe you sold     out your old buddies, [11:57] Arase     wailing, "I'll tell you     everything! Just don't hit me!" [12:02] Arase     Hey, do you know what kind of     guy Takumi Kuruya really is? [12:07] Arase     He'd sell out his friends in a     heartbeat to save his own skin. [12:11] Arase     He told me how many moles their     kid sisters have, and I didn't even ask. [12:16] Takumi     How the hell would I know that?! [12:18] Arase     He's a callous criminal. [12:21] Arase     Who knows what he says about you     behind your backs? [12:24] Arase     And he'll sell your secrets     if you give him half a chance. [12:29] Polka     So he's loose-lipped? [12:32] Polka     But that's better than     what you are right now. [12:37] Arase     I knew it. He's not just any kid. [12:41] Arase     He's got the aura of a mob enforcer. [12:44] Arase     Or maybe more like a     battle-hardened boss. [12:48] Arase     A veteran soldier? No, he couldn't be. [12:52] Polka     I don't want him to see my     power or figure out who I am. [12:56] Polka     What will Misaki-chan do? [12:59] Polka     Huh? [13:02] Arase     Where'd the girl go? [13:12] Misaki     Oh, I'm so scared! [13:13] Misaki     I just defended myself against a creep      who was about to hit me, right? SIGN    Creep [13:21] Misaki     Now, let's get out of here! [13:22] Misaki     He'll attack us if we stick around! [13:33] Arase     No normal kid has a kick that strong. [13:41] Arase     Where'd they go? [13:43] Polka     That was close. [13:45] Polka     To be honest, I owe you one. [13:46] Misaki     Kurupon texted me. It was all,      "He's a cop. Run." [14:03] Takumi     You okay, Polka? [14:05] Polka     Yeah, somehow. [14:07] Takumi     Listen. [14:09] Takumi     I appreciate you standing up for me, [14:12] Takumi     but you gave me too much credit back there. [14:16] Takumi     He was telling the truth. [14:18] Takumi     I don't wanna die, so I'll spill your     secrets as soon as someone threatens me. [14:26] Polka     Now you're giving me too much credit. [14:29] Polka     I've got no secrets worth     more than a friend's life. [14:37] Takumi     Were you this hard-boiled     in your past life, too? [14:42] Polka     I told you about the     Geldwood Order, didn't I? [14:45] Polka     Their holy arts can force people     to confess against their will. [14:50] Polka     So "selling me out" was an irrelevant concept. [14:54] Takumi     Are you sure those guys were holy? [15:00] Polka     At least one of them was. [15:04] Arase     Hi there, Aikawa-san. [15:06] Arase     This may sound weird, but would     you investigate this footprint? [15:11] Aikawa     What the hell? That's wicked funny. [15:14] Aikawa     Wait, that's a woman's shoe.     The hell have you been doing? [15:17] Yamada     Arase-chan! SIGN    Shinjuku Precinct     25-Year Veteran SIGN    Fumiyo Yamada SIGN    m 0 0 l 140 0 140 70 0 70 [15:19] Yamada     You're hurt! You need to     get that treated first! [15:22] Yamada     Hurry! Get that shirt off! [15:24] Arase     What? Hey! [15:25] Aikawa     Hm? [15:25] Yamada     I've got it. Eh? It's not coming off... [15:26] Aikawa     I don't think I'll even     need to check this print. [15:29] Arase     Come again? [15:30] Aikawa     I mean, I just saw one. [15:32] Aikawa     Apart from Lemmings's,     it was the most important print [15:36] Aikawa     at that human knot crime scene. [15:41] Policewoman 1     Look at that. [15:42] Policeman 1     Scary, right? [15:44] Aikawa     Anyway, if you're getting patched up,      go somewhere private. [15:45] Policewoman 1     I hear he got it while he     was infiltrating the yakuza. [15:47] Aikawa     That thing on your back freaks people out. [15:50] Arase     Bingo. [15:51] Arase     Finally, a case worth sinking my teeth into. [15:55] Arase     This should be fun. [16:02] Inspector A     Comps-3 sure is noisy. [16:05] Inspector B     I hear they got a lead on Lemmings. [16:08] Inspector A     What? That troublemaker? [16:10] Inspector B     He first appeared five years ago,      if I remember right. [16:15] Inspector B     Murder, protection,     transportation, kidnapping, [16:18] Inspector B     robbery, destroying evidence,     debt collection... [16:22] Inspector B     Rumor has it he'll do any job. [16:28] Inspector B     I saw him once myself. [16:31] Inspector B     He was a monster all right. [16:34] Inspector B     The guys he was fighting     brought out submachine guns, [16:39] Inspector B     but he still broke all their necks [16:41] Inspector B     while they hosed him down with bullets. [16:44] Inspector B     He didn't dodge.     He did it while they shot him. [16:49] Inspector B     I'd like to say we'll catch him ourselves, [16:53] Inspector B     but that's Comps-3's jurisdiction. [16:55] Inspector B     We've got to leave it to Iwanome's team. [16:59] Inspector B     Iwanome's an oddball who     lost his shot at promotion, [17:02] Inspector B     but he's a lot tougher than he looks. [17:07] Iwanome     So then I told 'im! [17:09] Iwanome     "I've had it with your tricks!" [17:12] Bunny A     Seriously?! [17:13] Bunny B     That's something cannon fodder would say! [17:16] Urai     What did that guy even come here for? [17:19] Clarissa     To hear what we have to say. [17:22] Clarissa     Informally, since he doesn't have a warrant. [17:25] Iwanome     Hey, Lisa Kuraki! [17:28] Iwanome     Fess up! I know you work with     some serious troublemakers! [17:34] Iwanome     C'mon! [17:35] Iwanome     I don't mean Lemmings     or the Fire-Breathing Bug! [17:38] Iwanome     I know the Grim Reaper's one of your people! [17:42] Bunny A     Who's that? They sound scary! [17:45] Bunny B     Lemmings? What a cute name! [17:48] Iwanome     Listen, there's nothing cute about Lemmings. [17:53] Iwanome     He scared the hell out of me when     he broke through a 30-man team. [17:58] Iwanome     Oh, but don't tell the media that, okay? [18:00] Bunny B     Hmm... I don't know. [18:03] Urai     Should he be saying that? [18:04] Urai     I thought the precinct     couldn't make it public. [18:09] Clarissa     No, but that doesn't matter. [18:11] Urai     Huh? [18:12] Clarissa     This bar is part of the underworld. [18:17] Clarissa     Of course, I'm sure he's doing     it on purpose to taunt us. [18:20] Iwanome     Those skeletons walking through fire     smell like a new troublemaker to me. [18:26] Bunny A; B     What?! That's so creepy! [18:27] Izuna     We can't let him dig too deep. [18:28] Koruto     We'll need to warn Polka-kun     to be careful later. [18:31] Misaki     Hiya, Clarissa! [18:33] Misaki     We're here to hang out! [18:36] Izuna     Why now? [18:38] Iwanome     Whoa, there! You kids must be underage. [18:41] Iwanome     You shouldn't be in here. [18:44] Misaki     Don't worry! We'll order milk! [18:46] Iwanome     Man, kids these days have expensive tastes. SIGN    Any recognizable traits? SIGN    I think I found people involved      in the human knot case.           Traits:      Sailor suit      Glasses      Braided hair      Highlights on bangs      Platform pumps      Knee socks      Red choker      Teen girl [19:01] Iwanome     Hey, you two. [19:03] Iwanome     If I treat you to some juice, will you     tell me what kids these days are into? [19:12] Takumi     Huh? [19:13] Takumi     Arase. [19:15] Takumi     Where's he— [19:16] Takumi     Wait, he's headed toward... [19:18] Takumi     No way! SIGN    12 minutes [19:18] Takumi     Hot! [19:20] Takumi     I spilled it! [19:22] Takumi     That was a close one. [19:24] Misaki     So then Hagane-chan said, [19:27] Misaki     "Damn your impudence!" [19:30] Iwanome     That's something cannon fodder would say! [19:32] Iwanome     Who's Hagane-chan, anyway? [19:35] Polka     What is this fruit juice? [19:39] Polka     It's more delicious than any drink     I tasted before I became undead! [19:46] Polka     I wish I could have shared it with     everyone in the abandoned coal mine. [19:50] Iwanome     What's he crying for? [19:51] Misaki     Beats me. [19:53] Takumi     Hey, Polka! Are you in the bar?! [19:55] Takumi     Don't answer! [19:57] Takumi     If you're there, go out the back door ASAP! [20:04] Arase     Would you let me past? I'm a customer. [20:07] Arase     At least for now. [20:12] Clarissa     It's all right. Let him in. [20:14] Clarissa     His friend is already here. [20:16] Iwanome     Yo, Arase! Over here! [20:19] Arase     She-fox. [20:21] Arase     I never thought I'd actually     find you with them. [20:24] Misaki     Hey! [20:25] Misaki     That's the bad guy who tried     to hit me and force himself on me! [20:29] Iwanome     Huh? [20:30] Arase     I did not try to force myself on you. [20:32] Iwanome     Yuck! How scummy can you be? [20:34] Arase     Inspector? [20:35] Iwanome     I'm just kidding. [20:38] Iwanome     Listen, do you mind if I     ask you some questions? [20:43] Iwanome     You don't wanna get charged with     obstruction of justice, do you? [20:51] Iwanome     Damn! I've had it with your tricks! [20:53] Clarissa     That wasn't us. [20:55] Misaki     What'll we do now, Polka-kun? Run for it? [20:58] Polka     That sounds like a good idea. [21:06] Polka     You hold my hand this time. [21:09] Misaki     Wow! You come on strong. [21:23] Misaki     Polka-kun? [21:25] Polka     What is it? What's in here?! [21:29] Clarissa     I'm going to make some light. [21:54] Iwanome     You've gotta be kidding me.
