[00:00] Iwanome
    Come on. Relax.
[00:03] Iwanome
    As much as I'd like to interview
    you about yesterday's fire,
[00:08] Iwanome
    we're off duty.
[00:10] Iwanome
    It's our lunch break.
[00:13] Iwanome
    So I thought I'd get my fortune told.
[00:16] Iwanome
    How about you, Arase?
[00:18] Arase
    I think I'll pass.
[00:21] Arase
    What if he tells me I'm so
    unlucky I should quit the force?
[00:26] Iwanome
    Nothing's ever easy with you.
[00:30] Iwanome
    So, how about just me, then?
[00:34] Polka
    Very well.
[00:35] Polka
    Show him to the next room.
[00:37] Misaki
    Okay!
[00:38] Misaki
    Right this way! Follow me!
[02:14] Iwanome
    Still, a student telling fortunes?
[02:17] Iwanome
    That's not a problem if you register
     your business within a month...
[02:22] Iwanome
    But forget all that red tape.
[02:26] Iwanome
    Do me a favor, kid.
[02:29] Iwanome
    Set this poor civil servant
    on the right path.
[02:33] Polka
    I can't locate people
    who escaped from prison.
[02:37] Iwanome
    Huh?
[02:39] Iwanome
    Well, that's our job anyway.
[02:43] Iwanome
    We'll figure something out.
[02:45] Iwanome
    Besides, I'd rather try to prevent murders...
    If you can see the future and all.
[02:51] Polka
    My readings aren't precognition.
[02:54] Polka
    I merely trace paths.
[02:58] Polka
    Both the path you have walked,
    and the infinite paths spread out before you.
[03:04] Sayo
    He never looks that way at home.
[03:06] Xiaoyu
    Wow. He really looks the part.
[03:10] Xiaoyu
    I guess he's seen his share
    of trouble, at least.
[03:14] Xiaoyu
    If the fake Polka is doing something shady,
[03:18] Xiaoyu
    I could snitch to these guys.
    They seem like cops.
[03:22] Polka
    I suppose I don't need to
    divine your profession.
[03:26] Iwanome
    Well, it's not like I can hide it.
[03:29] Polka
    Let me look closer.
[03:31] Polka
    Around you, I see defenders
    of many people's safety.
[03:36] Polka
    Countless hands that both
    chastise and shelter young boys.
[03:41] Polka
    Against those who wield malicious blades,
    they are shields.
[03:44] Iwanome
    So, he already knows I work
    for Community Safety.
[03:45] Polka
    At times, they become cords of
    steel to bind those weapons.
[03:47] Iwanome
    Takumi Kuruya is probably pulling
    this info from somewhere.
[03:50] Polka
    There is one who feels concern for you
[03:52] Iwanome
    I'd guess he's got an earpiece
    hidden in that hood.
[03:52] Polka
    and wishes for your own safety.
[03:55] Takumi
    Iwanome from the Community Safety Division?
[03:58] Takumi
    Damn it.
[03:59] Takumi
    We just keep running into trouble.
[04:03] Polka
    In your dealings with your
    ancestors and family,
[04:06] Polka
    you will see many cards depicting
    members of the opposite sex.
[04:10] Iwanome
    He even knows about the matchmaking?
[04:14] Polka
    I see you still bear a
    grievous scar from your past.
[04:19] Polka
    A wound as grave as a torn-off wing.
[04:23] Polka
    So long as that wound weighs you down,
    your path will never escape the seabed.
[04:29] Iwanome
    Well, isn't that fascinating?
[04:33] Iwanome
    So, Mr. Fortune Teller,
    will you tell me how to heal myself?
[04:38] Polka
    Do you wish to be healed?
[04:42] Iwanome
    I wonder.
[04:44] Iwanome
    But if the person who gave me
    that wound has a path,
[04:49] Iwanome
    I'd love for you to tell me about it.
[04:51] Polka
    Your torn-off wing shall
    spell out a signpost for you.
[04:56] Iwanome
    Huh?
[04:59] Iwanome
    Whoa!
[05:00] Iwanome
    Th-That one scared me a little.

[05:04] Iwanome
    Hm?
[05:09] Sayo
    Wow.
[05:10] Sayo
    How does he do that?
[05:12] Xiaoyu
    I recognize this sound! It's the same
    as the writing I heard last night!
[05:17] Xiaoyu
    I get it now.
[05:18] Xiaoyu
    He was practicing this magic
    trick during that whole chat!
[05:30] Arase
    Iwa-san?!
[05:35] Iwanome
    How...?
[05:37] Iwanome
    Polka Shinoyama...
[05:40] Iwanome
    What do you know?
[05:43] (Flashback) Hosorogi
    Iwanome.
[05:44] (Flashback) Iwanome
    Hm?
[05:44] (Flashback) Iwanome
    Whoa!
[05:45] (Flashback) Iwanome
    You're treating me? Now there's a surprise.
[05:48] (Flashback) Iwanome
    Hey, these are my favorite brand.
[05:51] (Flashback) Hosorogi
    Cigarettes don't suit me after all.
[05:54] (Flashback) Iwanome
    Hm?
[05:56] (Flashback) Iwanome
    What's this symbol?
[05:57] (Flashback) Hosorogi
    Memorized it yet?
[05:59] (Flashback) Iwanome
    Well, yeah.
[06:02] (Flashback) Hosorogi
    Never forget it.
[06:05] (Flashback) Iwanome
    Huh?!
[06:06] (Flashback) Hosorogi
    But never show this symbol to anyone else.
[06:09] (Flashback) Hosorogi
    It is both the signpost we must follow
[06:14] (Flashback) Hosorogi
    and a one-way ticket to death.
[06:18] Iwanome
    Why did you draw this?!
[06:20] Polka
    I merely showed you the path.
[06:24] Polka
    Obey the dictates of your own heart.
[06:33] Iwanome
    Sorry! My bad!
[06:35] Iwanome
    I didn't mean to scare you!
[06:38] Iwanome
    Here you go.
[06:39] Iwanome
    This is your fee.
[06:44] Polka
    Um... I can't accept this much money.
[06:46] Iwanome
    Don't sweat it. I threw in extra
    because I wrinkled your outfit.
[06:50] Iwanome
    Anyway, I think we're done here for today.
[06:54] Iwanome
    Bye. Be seeing you, Polka Shinoyama-kun.
[06:59] Polka
    The Corpse God.
[07:02] Polka
    The one who told your fortune here
    is not Polka Shinoyama,
[07:07] Polka
    but the Corpse God.
[07:09] Iwanome
    If you say so. I guess a fortune
    teller needs a good name.
[07:14] Iwanome
    But...
[07:16] Iwanome
    I don't know about that one.
[07:17] Iwanome
    It makes you sound like a troublemaker.
[07:24] Polka
    What did he mean by "troublemaker"?
[07:27] Sayo
    Do you know those guys?
[07:30] Misaki
    They're policemen.
[07:31] Sayo
    Huh. It seemed like they
    came because of the fire.
[07:35] Xiaoyu
    The way that officer acted wasn't normal.
[07:39] Xiaoyu
    What was written on that piece of paper?
[07:42] Xiaoyu
    It might be tied to the fake Polka's secrets.
[07:46] Xiaoyu
    Maybe I should do some digging.
[07:49] Xiaoyu
    Young miss.
[07:51] Xiaoyu
    I'll run out to buy us dinner.
[07:53] Sayo
    Okay. Thanks.
[07:55] Sayo
    I'd like that.
[07:57] Sayo
    Buy shark stuff, too, if you get a chance.
    I don't mind duplicates.
[08:02] Xiaoyu
    V-Very well.

[08:09] Iwanome
    You savor the first bite,
[08:12] Iwanome
    and then the spice hits you!
[08:14] Iwanome
    I can't get enough!
[08:15] Arase
    You always make that face here, Iwa-san.
[08:19] Arase
    You look hideous.
[08:29] Iwanome
    If you've got more to say to me, say it.
[08:32] Iwanome
    This is so awkward.
[08:33] Arase
    Oh? It's not a sore subject, then?
[08:36] Iwanome
    I didn't really want to get into it,
[08:38] Iwanome
    but eating away in silence is worse.
[08:41] Arase
    I'll speak freely, then.
[08:43] Arase
    What got into you back there?
[08:44] Iwanome
    Oh, yeah. Sorry. I lost control.
[08:48] Arase
    That isn't like you.
[08:49] Arase
    Threatening people is my job.
[08:52] Arase
    I'm the stick, and you're the
    poisoned carrot, remember?
[08:58] Iwanome
    Hey, now you're quoting me.
[09:01] Iwanome
    I can't argue with myself.
[09:03] Arase
    What was written on that piece of paper?
[09:09] Iwanome
    Sorry. Give me some time to get my
    thoughts in order while we walk.
[09:13] Iwanome
    I'll tell you when we get to our next stop.
[09:15] Arase
    All right. I'll wait.
[09:17] Arase
    I'm relieved that you're
    back to your usual self.
[09:21] Iwanome
    Yeah. I've got to keep cool,
    whether I like it or not.
[09:25] Iwanome
    I screwed up because I got too heated.
[09:29] Xiaoyu
    There they are.
[09:31] Xiaoyu
    I think I'll shadow them
    a little while longer.
[09:36] Xiaoyu
    I bought food and shark
    merch at Village Vanguard,
[09:39] Xiaoyu
    so I've done my job perfectly!
[09:44] Yakuza Boss
    I laughed when I heard the
    Shinoyama house burned,
[09:48] Yakuza Boss
    but I never expected this
    place to go up, too.
[09:51] Yakuza A
    But, boss, isn't the safe fireproof?
[09:54] Yakuza Boss
    There's something I need to get out of it.

[11:16] Takumi
    Man, that sucked.
[11:19] Takumi
    But why'd that detective
    suddenly lose it like that?
[11:23] Takumi
    What did the ghosts haunting him tell you?
[11:26] Polka
    No one was haunting him.
[11:30] Misaki
    What, really?
[11:32] Polka
    Haunted people aren't all that common.
[11:35] Polka
    In those cases,
[11:37] Polka
    I use the information Takumi-kun
    digs up to offer advice.
[11:41] Takumi
    Wait, so you wrote something random
    down and it happened to set him off?
[11:46] Polka
    No, the writing was—
[11:47] Iwanome
    So, why did you hide it?
[11:50] Clarissa
    Oh? What secrets do you
    think I'm keeping from you?
[11:55] Iwanome
    To be honest, I'd given up hope.
[11:58] Iwanome
    But, yeah... I guess I had to believe
[12:02] Iwanome
    that you-know-who wouldn't
    give up the ghost that easily.
[12:05] Clarissa
    What are you talking about?
[12:07] Iwanome
    It's too late for games.
[12:09] Iwanome
    Who could cover someone's
    tracks for five straight years?
[12:12] Iwanome
    In this town, only you.
[12:15] Iwanome
    I know that you have a connection
    to Polka Shinoyama, too.
[12:20] Xiaoyu
    Who is "you-know-who"?
[12:21] Iwanome
    Still, I sure didn't expect to get
    a message via fortune telling.
[12:27] Iwanome
    What Polka Shinoyama wrote...
    no one but our mutual friend would know it.
[12:32] Iwanome
    And aside from me, you're the only
    other one who might get told about it.
[12:39] Clarissa
    I'm sorry. This isn't making sense to me.
[12:43] Clarissa
    Which "mutual friend" is this?
[12:47] Iwanome
    Don't play dumb.
[12:49] Polka
    I was asked to stay out of it,
[12:51] Polka
    and that's just what I did.
[12:54] Polka
    So I don't know what was
    on that paper, either.
[12:58] Polka
    It was too dark to see clearly.
[13:00] Takumi
    Huh? Hey, wait...
[13:02] Takumi
    You mean the one who wrote
    to that detective was...?
[13:05] Iwanome
    The inspector the police shunned
    because we went wild together...
[13:10] Iwanome
    And your precious senpai.
[13:14] Iwanome; Polka
    Hosorogi-san.
[13:15] Misaki
    What? Then...
[13:16] Misaki
    Hosorogi-san knows that detective?
SIGN    Shinjuku is a surprisingly small world—
SIGN    But it has depth in equal measure.
[13:23] Misaki
    Ooh!
[13:25] Clarissa
    Now there's a name that takes me back.
[13:28] Iwanome
    Yeah. I haven't said it in a long time.
[13:31] Clarissa
    You look happy... but a little
    angry at the same time.
[13:36] Iwanome
    Can you blame me? I've been the
    only one stuck playing the clown.
[13:40] Iwanome
    Well, if I'm pissed off at you,
    it's more because of Polka Shinoyama.
[13:45] Clarissa
    Has he done something to upset you?
[13:48] Iwanome
    The point of the Community Safety
    Division isn't to shepherd children.
[13:53] Iwanome
    It's to protect their past, present,
    and future. All three together.
[13:58] Iwanome
    That was the policy, way back
    when Hosorogi-san was in charge.
[14:04] Clarissa
    My, that's strange.
[14:06] Clarissa
    Are you suggesting that Hosorogi-san
    recruited Polka—a child?
[14:11] Iwanome
    Out of desperation, maybe?
    Or it was all your idea.
[14:16] Iwanome
    If it's the former, I've got some complaints.
    All the more reason I want a reunion.
[14:20] Iwanome
    We can't go dragging kids
    into our screwed-up problems.
[14:25] Clarissa
    I certainly don't recall recruiting any.
[14:29] Clarissa
    As for Polka Shinoyama-kun,
    I simply rent a building to him as a favor.
[14:34] Clarissa
    It's my chance to connect with a
    key figure in the Shinoyama Group.
[14:38] Clarissa
    Do you think I'd let such
    a juicy fruit pass me by?
[14:41] Iwanome
    I see. A self-interested favor
    would make a convincing motive.
[14:47] Iwanome
    But you'd never have told him about
    Hosorogi-san if that were the real story.
[14:53] Iwanome
    What if they got curious
    and did some digging?
[14:55] Iwanome
    That kid would be in danger,
    and so would the girl in glasses.
[14:59] Iwanome
    After all, this was bad enough to
    force Hosorogi-san into hiding.
[15:04] Clarissa
    You sound so certain that
    Hosorogi-san is still alive.
[15:08] Iwanome
    I've received too much info that
    would make sense only to me.
[15:13] Iwanome
    Fine, then. Play dumb if you want.
[15:16] Iwanome
    But pass on the message.
[15:18] Iwanome
    This time, I'll clean the rot out of the police,
[15:21] Iwanome
    and make a place for
    Hosorogi-san to come back to.
[15:27] Izuna
    Clarissa, what was that about?
[15:28] Clarissa
    Never you mind.
[15:30] Koruto
    But what if Polka-kun
    found Hosorogi-san's...?
[15:33] Clarissa
    It doesn't matter.
[15:35] Clarissa
    That old senpai of mine is far too
     obsessed with money to think of me.
[15:40] Xiaoyu
    Hosorogi and Clarissa.
[15:43] Xiaoyu
    I'd better investigate this bar's staff.
[15:48] Xiaoyu
    I'll crush every last pest that
    tries to get near His Lordship.
[15:54] Takumi
    A police IA inspector?!
[15:56] Polka
    What's that?
[15:58] Takumi
    A cop who investigates police
    corruption and stuff.

SIGN    We were in different divisions.
SIGN    But we knew each other.
[16:12] Takumi
    For real?
[16:14] Takumi
    I can't believe this. Have you
    ever acted like an inspector?
SIGN    Heh heh heh...
    They called me "the delinquent inspector"
    and "the filth that hunts dirt."
[16:22] Misaki
    That's so cool!
[16:23] Takumi
    Is it, though?
[16:25] Polka
    So, what did you write on
    that paper, Hosorogi-san?
SIGN    If you're curious,
    pay me for the info.
[16:32] Takumi
    Are you sure you used to be an inspector?!
SIGN    My fee is one million!
    I won't take a yen less!
[16:35] Polka
    But I need that money...
SIGN    Oh, there are endless ways to make money.
    You're in good hands with me.
[16:39] Takumi
    What makes you so confident?
[16:41] Takumi
    Anyway, whatever you wrote is the
    reason that cop grabbed Polka.
SIGN    Indeed!
     For that, I humbly apologize.
SIGN    I hate to drag you into this,
    but it involves one of my regrets.
[16:51] Polka
    In that case, I guess I don't have a choice.
[16:53] Takumi
    What do you mean?
[16:55] Polka
    In exchange for services,
     I'll resolve some of Hosorogi-san's regrets.
[17:00] Polka
    That was our pact.
[17:02] Takumi
    Without regrets,
    won't Hosorogi-san just move on?
SIGN    I'm not as ungrateful as all that!
[17:09] Polka
    If those officials work well,
    will you have one less regret?
SIGN    Well, I can only hope it works.
[17:15] Polka
    I suppose so.
[17:16] Hosorogi
    Regrets, huh?

    owner of this family business.
[18:54] Solitaire
    He is also an anomaly in this
    strictly regulated prison.
[18:59] Solitaire
    The fact that this space is permitted
    speaks to the Grocer's true nature.
[19:06] Solitaire
    The state of this solitary cell
[19:08] Solitaire
    testifies to the power that he
    gained by dealing with the state.
[19:15] Solitaire
    It is neither the pen nor the sword, but trade
    which is the most blatant form of might.
[19:20] Solitaire
    Everything is on the table, from human
    lives to the fates of nations,
[19:25] Solitaire
    as well as goods—mass-produced,
    limited, stolen, lost, and sacred.
[19:30] Solitaire
    The sole exception is their own minds.
[19:35] Solitaire
    Although I'm not fond of violence,
[19:38] Solitaire
    when I must fight,
    I fight with playing cards.
[19:43] Solitaire
    And why...
[19:45] Solitaire
    ...do you think...
[19:47] Solitaire
    ...that all people have used
    cards as weapons since antiquity?
[19:51] Grocer
    Pardon our ignorance, but our
    store knows of no such history.
[19:55] Solitaire
    The answer is simple:
[19:57] Solitaire
    Because it's cool!
[20:00] Grocer
    I see.
[20:01] Grocer
    You've wasted my time.
    That will cost you dearly.
[20:05] Solitaire
    What?!
[20:06] Solitaire
    Not so fast!
[20:07] Solitaire
    You asked for information to begin our talk,
    so I gave you my very best!
[20:13] Grocer
    Your idea of quality mystifies me.
[20:16] Grocer
    In this store, at least, the Phantom
    Solitaire's stock has plummeted.
SIGN    Solitaire
[20:20] Solitaire
    Be reasonable!
[20:22] Grocer
    I wish you would.
[20:23] Solitaire
    Fine, then! One more exclusive tidbit!
[20:26] Grocer
    Oh?
[20:27] Solitaire
    Rubbing your hands with oil slightly
    reduces the risk of paper cuts.

[20:33] Grocer
    Why not just wear rubber
    gloves or use hand cream?
[20:37] Grocer
    Learning that a master criminal like
    you is actually a complete fool
[20:41] Grocer
    is worth something, I suppose.
[20:44] Solitaire
    Mind your manners.
[20:45] Grocer
    Please allow us to offer
    you all we can in exchange.
SIGN    Tasty Stick
[20:49] Grocer
    This should do.
[20:51] Solitaire
    Thirty yen?!
[20:52] Solitaire
    All right!
[20:53] Solitaire
    I'll take them because they're tasty,
    but you can't distract me with food!
[20:56] Solitaire
    Give me the information I came here for!
[21:00] Grocer
    The symbols on playing
    cards all have meaning.
[21:03] Solitaire
    Yes?
[21:04] Grocer
    On French cards, spades are swords,
    clubs are clubs,
[21:09] Grocer
    hearts are chalices,
    and diamonds are coins.
[21:13] Grocer
    Almost every symbol in this world,
    no matter how simplified,
[21:18] Grocer
    is likewise imbued with some significance.
[21:22] Grocer
    For example,
[21:23] Grocer
    this diagonal line signifies a sword.
[21:27] Grocer
    An old knight order in central and
    eastern Europe used a similar insignia,
[21:32] Grocer
    but the two are completely unrelated.
[21:35] Grocer
    Now, that concludes your free sample.
[21:38] Grocer
    You must purchase more with
    information of equal value.
[21:41] Solitaire
    Very well.
[21:43] Solitaire
    This is for my performance.
    I'll pay whatever you ask.
[21:46] Grocer
    Are you certain?
[21:48] Grocer
    We adjust our prices to our
    customers' circumstances.
[21:53] Grocer
    And by "circumstances," we do not mean
[21:55] Grocer
    the contents of their wallets.
[22:09] Male Announcer
    Well, today is the day that
    the Phantom Solitaire set.
[22:13] Male Announcer
    Have there been any developments?
[22:15] Takumi
    Oh, that's today?
[22:17] Misaki
    I can't wait to find out what he'll do!
[22:19] Takumi
    Well, terrorist bombing
    doesn't seem like his style.
[22:22] Sayo
    Morning.
[22:24] Sayo
    Nice day, huh?
[22:26] Takumi
    It's already noon.
[22:27] Sayo
    Don't worry. Bedroom security officers
    don't need to make that distinction.
[22:32] Takumi
    What's reassuring about that?
[22:34] Misaki
    Good morning!
[22:35] Sayo
    Morning.
[22:44] Sayo
    Hey, what's that?
[22:47] Takumi
    Hm?
[22:51] Misaki
    Oh, wow!
[22:55] Male Announcer
    Oh, it looks like something
    just happened in Shinjuku!

[23:10] Polka
    How...?
[23:15] Polka
    I thought I reincarnated
    to a different world.
[23:20] Misaki
    Do you recognize that symbol, Polka-kun?
[23:23] Polka
    I'm sure of it.
[23:26] Polka
    That's...
[23:28] Polka
    ...the emblem of the fallen
    empire from my old world.
