[00:03] Ch
    Oh no, chu!
[00:05] Ch
    There was more than one person
     after Dr. Love, chu!
[00:10] G
    Who the hell are you?
[00:11] G
    I could ask the same of you.
[00:14] G
    Who are you people?
[00:16] V
    We're with ēlDLIVE.
[00:18] V
    You're under arrest on suspicion of murder.
[00:22] G
    I see.
[00:23] G
    Space police, huh?
[00:25] G
    Is the guy in the suit over there
     a criminal, then?
[00:27] G
    Damn it! You ruined my plan!
[00:31] G
    Tell me something.
[00:33] G
    Could a plan that needed a geezer
    like this really have succeeded?
[00:38] G
    Of course!
[00:39] G
    Dr. Love's brain held the key to the gate!
[00:42] G
    If I'd had him, I could've gotten
    my hands on some amazing treasure!
[00:46] V
    Treasure?
[00:47] Chu
    What does he mean?
[00:48] D
    It sounds like he needed Dr. Love
    to find what he was looking for.
[00:54] G
    Oh...
[00:55] G
    You had both space police
    and criminals on your tail,
[01:00] G
    were imprisoned in this tiny room,
[01:02] G
    and just when you thought you'd found
    a way out, it was for a treasure hunt?
[01:06] G
    You had tragically bad luck, Dr. Love.
[01:09] G
    Shut your mouth, brat!
[01:11] G
    Die!
[01:15] G
    He deflected it?!
[01:16] C
    A shield?
[01:17] G
    I'm good at creating things.
[01:19] G
    Why, you little...
[01:27] G
    Your iris is pretty interesting.
[01:31] G
    Amber in color, and a very
    characteristic line in the lower half.
[01:34] G
    I never expected to see it here.
[01:37] G
    I wish I could've observed it more.
[01:39] G
    It's too bad.
[01:43] G
    What?
[01:53] G
    
SIGN    Something to Believe In: Part 2
[03:25] V
    You there!
[03:27] V
    Hands above your head.
[03:29] V
    We will not hesitate
    to use force if you resist.
[03:32] V
    Stay here, Officer Kokonose.
[03:34] C
    Yoyosa.
[03:35] V
    Chips, Ninotchka, we're going down there.
[03:39] V
    You're under arrest for murder.
[03:42] G
    Murder? Who?
[03:44] V
    Quiet.
[03:47] D
    They caught him easily.
[03:49] C
    Yeah, but...
[03:52] C
    We had to take Dr. Love back with us
    to clear Sonokata of suspicion.
[03:57] C
    We can't save her now.
[04:00] G
    Whoa! I'm so high up!
[04:02] G
    Why have I been hung out to dry?!
[04:05] G
    What's going on?
[04:06] G
    Where am I?
[04:08] N
    H-He's alive...
[04:09] G
    Hey! You brats!
[04:12] G
    Who are you? Don't just
    stand and watch! Save me!
[04:17] G
    Someone's dead!
[04:22] G
    See? I didn't kill him.
[04:23] G
    Cuff him too, Nino!
[04:26] N
    Y-Yoyosa!
[04:28] V
    What's the meaning of this?
    What did you do to him?
[04:31] G
    What, you ask?
[04:33] G
    I used an SPH removal beam to cleanse his body
    of the remote control SPH it absorbed.
[04:40] V
    Remote control SPH?
[04:42] G
    As its name implies,
[04:44] G
    it's an SPH that allows the user who emitted it
[04:46] G
    to control anyone who absorbs it from afar.
[04:51] G
    The characteristic amber membrane
    forms in the eyes of the recipient.
[04:56] G
    It'd only existed in experimental
    form until now, though.
[05:00] G
    That guy's probably a normal
    Earthling who was being controlled.
[05:05] V
    Then the mastermind is someone else?
[05:08] G
    Yeah.
[05:09] G
    Poor Dr. Love. He has
    someone weird on his tail.
[05:13] V
    Look who's talking!
[05:15] V
    Aren't you the one who
    made a right mess of him?
[05:18] G
    Yeah.
[05:20] G
    But that's not a corpse.
[05:22] G
    It's just waste matter
    from body reconstruction.
[05:27] G
    During reconstruction,
[05:28] G
    there was an unexpected split
    between old cells and new.
[05:33] G
    You could say it was like shedding old skin.
[05:35] V
    What are you saying?
[05:37] G
    I mean,
[05:39] G
    Dr. Love is standing right before you.
[05:45] G
    You guys rely too much on your eyes.
[05:47] V
    Chips! Compare his SPH to Dr. Love's!
[05:51] Ch
    Yoyosa!
[05:56] Ch
    They match, chu!
[05:57] Ch
    He's really Dr. Love, chu!
[06:00] C
    No way!
[06:01] C
    He looks nothing like the photo!
[06:03] V
    Are you really Dr. Taklamakan Strangelove?
[06:07] L
    Yeah.
[06:08] V
    Why are you all young again?
[06:11] L
    Isn't that obvious?
[06:12] L
    The younger, the healthier.
[06:15] L
    Your SPH smells like... a Doltalian?
[06:19] L
    No.
[06:21] L
    Could you be a descendant of Kurzians?
[06:23] V
    Y-Yes...
[06:25] G
    I knew it!
[06:26] G
    You must boast really powerful kicks, then.
[06:28] V
    W-Well, yeah.
[06:31] G
    This is it.
[06:32] G
    Your biceps femoris is amazingly supple.
[06:35] G
    It resembles the whiskers of a spica seal.
[06:38] G
    The most distinctive feature of
    Kurzians is not their forehead horn,
[06:41] G
    but the abdominal oblique and femoral muscles
    running down the center of the body.
[06:43] V
    Um...
[06:46] L
    Right here.
[06:47] L
    Yes, this is the feeling.
[06:50] L
    Take off your clothes.
     I want to touch it directly.
[06:55] V
    Eek!
[07:03] L
    Oh, right.
[07:05] L
    Sorry.
[07:06] L
    I forgot that lots of humanoid lifeforms
    don't like exposing themselves.
[07:10] L
    I tend to forget that when I get engrossed.
[07:12] V
    I'll kick you next time.
[07:14] C
    Is Dr. Love...
[07:16] D
    What an amusing man.
[07:18] C
    ...a weirdo?
[07:19] C
    No, he's more of a perv!
[07:22] C
    Don't tell me, Sonokata also...
[07:25] L
    Are you ready, Misuzu?
[07:28] Mi
    Yes, Dr. Love.
[07:29] L
    All right, let us begin...
[07:31] L
    Begin our Taklamakan Project.
[07:34] Mi
    Yes, Dr. Love.
[07:39] L
    Will you take your clothes off for me, then?
[07:42] Mi
    Yes... Dr. Love.
[07:48] L
    Let's get started on the Taklamakan Project.
[07:55] L
    Or should I say,
[07:59] L
    the Tarzan and Jane Project.
[08:02] C
    That's what the Taklamakan Project was about?!
[08:05] D
    I don't think so.
[08:07] D
    Besides, Dr. Love was an
    old man back then, Chuta.
[08:13] C
    Damn you, Dr. Love!
[08:15] V
    You okay over there, rookie?
[08:20] C
    I-It's nothing.
[08:22] V
    Okay, we've secured Dr. Love,
    so how about we head back?
[08:26] Ch
    We were supposed to keep him secure.
[08:28] L
    Do you mind taking these off first?
[08:31] V
    Sorry, I forgot.
[08:40] C
    Assistant Inspector Veronica?
[08:41] C
    Assistant Inspector Chips!
[08:45] N
    I'm glad to see you
    in good health, Dr. Love.
[08:48] N
    With your brain,
[08:50] N
    I can open the door to the treasure.
[08:53] C
    O-Officer Ninotchka?
[08:56] L
    Her iris...
[08:58] L
    She's been taken over
    by remote control SPH, too.
[09:01] N
    You can never be too careful, huh?
[09:04] C
    N-No way...
[09:07] L
    But this is weird.
[09:09] L
    Remote control SPH should require a
    convergence of both parties' consciousness.
[09:14] L
    How'd you take over a member of ēlDLIVE?
[09:17] N
    I don't mind telling you, Dr. Love.
[09:31] N
    If you come with me, that is.
[09:34] L
    I'll pass.
[09:35] L
    Scientists are prone to getting killed
    once they're deemed useless.
[09:39] N
    You don't have the right to refuse.
[09:46] N
    Now, come along.
[09:51] L
    This is pretty bad.
[09:53] C
    Wait!
[09:59] C
    I'm not letting you take Dr. Love!
[10:01] N
    Oh, I forgot you existed.
[10:04] N
    Do you have a death wish, Officer Kokonose?
[10:07] C
    That angelic Officer Ninotchka...
[10:11] C
    Dr. Love.
[10:14] C
    Is there a way to free Officer Ninotchka
    from the remote control SPH?
[10:18] L
    Could you knock her out?
[10:21] L
    Meanwhile, I'll repair the
    SPH removal beam and fire it.
[10:25] D
    So we have no choice
    but to fight and win, Chuta.
[10:28] C
    Yeah.
[10:32] C
    We've gotta do this.
SIGN    Ninotchka
[10:48] L
    I know it's inappropriate to say this now,
[10:50] L
    but my heart is racing in excitement.
[10:52] L
    Seeing you growing on Chuta Kokonose...
[10:56] L
    Monitaliens are one of my research subjects.
[10:59] C
    R-Right...
[11:01] N
    Sorry to crush your hopes,
    but you should probably give up.
[11:05] N
    I mean,
[11:07] N
    I'm really strong!
[11:13] C
    Sew her up, Dolugh!
[11:15] D
    Sympathy!
[11:27] L
    That Monitalien hasn't updated.
[11:30] L
    This will be tough.
[11:33] D
    Are you okay, Chuta?
[11:35] N
    What's wrong?
[11:37] N
    What happened to knocking me out?
[11:39] C
    I can't do it.
[11:41] C
    She's in a whole different league.
[11:43] D
    Chuta, I'm fading.
[11:46] D
    You can't win if you lose confidence.
[11:48] C
    I know. I know, but...
[11:50] C
    I can't do anything about my fear!
[11:54] D
    Chuta...
[11:56] V
    Run...
[11:58] V
    Run away...
[12:01] C
    Assistant Inspector Veronica?
[12:02] V
    You can't handle her...
[12:05] V
    It's all my fault... I'm sorry...
[12:08] C
    What are you saying?!
[12:10] V
    Run away...
[12:12] V
    Hurry up...
[12:14] V
    At least you should get out of this alive!
[12:16] C
    Run away all by myself?
[12:18] C
    Even if I escaped with my life,
[12:21] C
    Veronica, Chips, Dr. Love,
    and Ninotchka here...
[12:26] C
    ...and...
[12:28] C
    ...Sonokata wouldn't be saved.
[12:31] C
    I'm the only one who can help them right now.
[12:35] C
    There's no way I can run!
[12:41] C
    Hang in there...
[12:43] C
    Hang in there just a while longer.
[12:44] C
    I promise I'll get you to sick bay.
[12:48] D
    I'm back.
[12:51] D
    Your fading confidence has returned.
[12:54] D
    How?
[12:55] C
    I don't know the reason myself.
[12:57] C
    Even so, I have to believe in myself now.
[13:01] C
    I mean, I want to save everyone!
[13:04] D
    You want to save everyone, so you'll believe?
[13:08] D
    Your confidence is back with a bang.
[13:11] C
    Okay, let's do this, Dolugh.
[13:13] C
    Yeah, Chuta!
[13:14] N
    Oh, you want to keep going?
[13:21] D
    You can't win by running away.
[13:23] D
    Get behind her.
[13:25] C
    I can't. She's not taking her eyes off us.
[13:27] D
    Point.
[13:29] D
    Chuta, look up.
[13:32] D
    I just got a great idea.
[13:34] N
    Do you like hide-and-seek?
[13:36] N
    It's not going to work.
[13:38] N
    If you won't come out, I'll...
[13:48] N
    A decoy made out of cables?
[13:51] C
    Now.
[13:52] C
    Take this!
[13:53] N
    Just kidding. I can read you
    like an open book.
[14:00] C
    Dolugh!
[14:10] C
    Not good. Get out of the way, Dolugh!
[14:14] C
    Are you listening to me?
[14:16] C
    Dolugh!
[14:42] L
    The smell of burned SPH...
[14:44] L
    It's a type of post-death odor.
[14:54] C
    Hot...
[14:55] C
    What's going on?
[14:57] C
    My face is burning.
[15:01] C
    Huh? I can't speak...
[15:03] C
    What's happening?
[15:04] C
    Dolugh...
[15:08] C
    Dolugh?
[15:17] C
    Dolugh?!
[15:19] L
    Monitaliens and their hosts
    receive equal damage.
[15:23] L
    Given the state the Monitalien
    is in, its host must be...
[15:31] C
    I can't breathe.
[15:32] N
    Monitaliens are but ancient relics.
[15:36] N
    Dying in agony with its host
    is a fitting end for one.
[15:43] C
    Dying...?
[15:44] C
    Am I going to die?
[15:48] C
    Without saving Sonokota,
    Veronica, Ninotchka, or Chips?
[15:54] C
    Damn it...
[15:58] D
    Chuta.
[16:01] C
    Is that you, Dolugh?
[16:04] D
    I've been thinking
[16:06] D
    about why you averted your eyes
    from the facts and trusted Misuzu.
[16:11] C
    Are you kidding me?
[16:12] C
    You're bringing that up now?
[16:15] D
    I don't think you would've
    done that a short while ago.
[16:20] D
    You've changed ever since
    you joined ēlDLIVE.
[16:23] D
    I want to know the reasons
    behind any changes in you.
[16:27] D
    And I think I've figured it out now.
[16:31] D
    You hoped for Misuzu to be innocent.
[16:35] D
    That's why you believed in her
    and said she was.
[16:39] D
    Dr. Isaac hoped for you to protect Misuzu.
[16:43] D
    That's why he believed in you
    and told you her secret.
[16:48] D
    And in this fight...
[16:51] (Flashback) C
    I don't know the reason myself.
[16:53] (Flashback) C
    Even so, I have to believe in myself now.
[16:56] (Flashback) C
    I mean, I want to save everyone!
[17:00] D
    ...you hoped to save everyone.
[17:04] D
    That way, you were able to
    really believe in yourself.
[17:09] D
    Yeah, I've finally realized...
[17:13] D
    ...believing in someone
    is an expression of hope.
[17:17] C
    Hope?
[17:18] D
    So I'll believe in you, too.
[17:22] C
    Dolugh?
[17:23] D
    Because I hope to remain in a symbiotic
    relationship with you, and nobody else.
[17:29] D
    Killing host's life support process.
[17:32] D
    Activating survival program.
[17:38] L
    It begins.
[17:39] N
    What's this?
[17:40] L
    When their hosts are on the verge of death,
[17:43] L
    Monitaliens us all their remaining energy
    on evolving to escape the danger,
[17:49] L
    in an attempt to survive.
[17:51] N
    So you're still trying to live?
[17:53] N
    I'll break you half-dead freaks!
[17:59] N
    It deflected?
[18:01] L
    The goal of a Monitalien's evolution isn't
    to get out of the current predicament.
[18:06] L
    It's to look for a new host
    and transfer over to them.
[18:09] D
    Next host detected.
[18:12] D
    Calculating necessary evolution
    and transformation.
[18:18] D
    Attack.
[18:21] N
    Wh-What was that?
[18:24] L
    Looks like it found the optimal solution.
[18:31] D
    Transformation confirmed.
[18:47] D
    Attack.
[18:51] L
    This almost-scary evolution is the
    highest form of lost Griffith technology.
[18:57] L
    Now, it'll just toy with its prey
    until it no longer resists.
[19:01] D
    Attack.
[19:03] N
    Not happening!
[19:04] N
    I'm not losing this body!
[19:06] D
    Attack.
[19:11] D
    Attack.
[19:14] C
    What are you doing, Dolugh?
[19:16] D
    Host secured.
[19:18] D
    Attack.
[19:20] C
    Stop it, Dolugh.
[19:23] C
    Stop.
[19:25] D
    Attack.
[19:28] D
    Adjusting aim.
[19:31] D
    S—
[19:33] D
    I can't speak...
[19:33] D
    Host secured.
[19:34] C
    Dolugh.
[19:36] C
    Come back to your senses, Dolugh.
[19:39] D
    Attack.
[19:39] C
    Dolugh!
[19:42] C
    You know you're better than this!
[19:49] D
    Sympathy!
[20:10] C
    Dolugh?!
[20:10] D
    Chuta!
[20:11] C
    Is that really you?
[20:13] D
    Yep, it's me, Chuta.
[20:16] C
    Thank goodness.
[20:17] C
    You went back to normal.
[20:19] C
    I was seriously lost for a moment there.
[20:22] L
    You just pulled off a reconnection
    with a Monitalien.
[20:27] C
    Reconnection?
[20:29] D
    I tried to leave you,
[20:31] D
    and then I connected with you again.
[20:33] C
    Is that so?
[20:35] L
    It's no mean feat.
[20:38] L
    Once a Monitalien prepares to leave its host,
[20:41] L
    the chance of bringing it back
    with a strong sympathetic response
[20:45] L
    is a mere 0.02 percent.
[20:47] C
    Strong sympathetic response?
[20:50] C
    What if it hadn't worked?
[20:52] D
    R.I.P., Chuta.
[20:54] C
    Wh-What the heck?!
[20:55] D
    Even if our chances were slim,
[20:58] D
    we had to do it in order to save everyone.
[21:02] C
    Wait, what you said back there...
[21:06] (Flashback) D
    Believing in someone
    is an expression of hope.
[21:08] (Flashback) D
    So I'll believe in you, too.
[21:11] (Flashback) D
    Because I hope to remain in a symbiotic
    relationship with you, and nobody else.
[21:17] C
    You were referring to this?
[21:19] D
    I believed that you would
    definitely reconnect with me.
[21:23] D
    You believed in me, too.
[21:26] D
