**[00:10] ---**
MP Signal.
**[00:12] ---**
Specimen's vital signs confirmed.
**[00:14] ---**
Level of consciousness,
entering wakened state.
**[00:16] ---**
Sedatives?
**[00:17] ---**
They're being administered but
aren't having any effect.
**[00:20] ---**
The specimen is waking up.
**[00:23] ---**
We can't let that happen, no matter what!
**[00:39] ---**
Verifying that a reaction has occurred.
**[00:42] ---**
Retrieving back-up data.
**[00:43] ---**
All personnel to take evasive action.
Retrieving back-up data.
**[00:47] ---**
Wait!
**[01:22] ---**
That's when everything became clear.
**[01:28] ---**
Everything about the
malice implanted by the Creator.
**[01:35] ---**
We cannot resist it.
**[01:39] ---**
However...
**[01:43] ---**
However, we must punish them.
**[01:52] ---**
Can you hear the pulse of the awakening?
**[02:22] ---**
Fellow citizens, do your
part and make waste.
**[02:27] ---**
Life is easier...
**[02:29] ---**
when you lighten your load.
**[02:34] ---**
Fellow citizens...
**[02:36] ---**
time is now to consume.
**[02:39] ---**
Why skimp, when you deserve more?
**[02:45] ---**
Fellow citizens, time is now to consume.
**[02:48] ---**
Life is easier when you...
**[02:52] ---**
Sorry.
**[02:53] ---**
Yes.
**[02:55] ---**
We've taken procedures.
**[02:56] ---**
Right.
**[03:00] ---**
Fine, we'll talk about that later.
**[03:05] ---**
What could have happened
**[03:06] ---**
that's big enough to
make me change my plans?
**[03:09] ---**
"Ultimate Level" intelligence
is going to be disclosed.
**[03:13] ---**
You need to hurry.
**[04:07] ---**
Tell me one thing.
**[04:09] ---**
Yes.
**[04:10] ---**
I'm sure of it. I saw it with my own eyes.
**[04:15] ---**
That's enough.
**[04:17] ---**
We'll leave the rest to Raul.
**[04:20] ---**
But...!
**[04:26] ---**
By the way, is little
Re-l not coming again tonight?
**[04:50] ---**
The Pulse of Awakening
**[05:07] ---**
Re-l, did you go to Regent
Donov's last night?
**[05:12] ---**
He just would have given
me another one of his lectures.
**[05:15] ---**
That's all my Grandfather does.
**[05:16] ---**
Well, you are his little princess.
**[05:19] ---**
Iggy.
**[05:20] ---**
Oh, that's right.
**[05:21] ---**
The Security Bureau started conducting
spot-searches across the entire city last night.
**[05:25] ---**
What do you think it is?
**[05:27] ---**
They even want us to
provide them with information
**[05:30] ---**
about infected AutoReivs.
**[05:32] ---**
We're the Intelligence Bureau.
Aren't they going to tell us anything?
**[05:36] ---**
Who's the new appointee over
there? Raul, isn't it?
**[05:38] ---**
I don't care for him.
**[05:39] ---**
This guy?
**[05:41] ---**
Oh, and then there's that supplemental report,
about the residents who were brutally murdered.
**[05:46] ---**
I just can't see how this could
**[05:48] ---**
possibly be the work of an AutoReiv
infected with the cogito virus.
**[05:52] ---**
Re-l?
**[05:53] ---**
I can't take it anymore.
**[05:55] ---**
Cut the Turing application
from the language field.
**[05:58] ---**
Roger. Turing application off.
**[06:00] ---**
Please confirm.
**[06:03] ---**
Now, take the shortest route to
the FG Temporary Immigrant District's...
**[06:05] ---**
AutoReiv Disposal Facility.
**[06:08] ---**
Confirmed.
**[06:23] ---**
Romdo City.
**[06:25] ---**
This place is undoubtedly
our final paradise.
**[06:32] ---**
Today is another day,
with no change for the better
**[06:36] ---**
in this cradle that was built amidst...
**[06:39] ---**
the planet's environmental
deterioration.
**[06:45] ---**
A boring paradise.
**[07:13] ---**
All right then...
**[07:14] ---**
so you verified that the PK30-type
that escaped was infected?
**[07:19] ---**
I'm sorry, Dorothy.
**[07:22] ---**
I'll submit an "Intent to Escape" report...
**[07:24] ---**
however...
**[07:30] ---**
You must meet with the
person from the Intelligence Bureau
**[07:34] ---**
when she comes today regarding the case.
**[07:37] ---**
Yes.
**[07:38] ---**
All right, next you have
a new infection to investigate.
**[07:41] ---**
You've also received a permit to
enter the citizens' residential district.
**[07:48] ---**
Don't worry.
**[07:50] ---**
If you do as I tell you to,
you can become a fellow citizen.
**[07:55] ---**
Stop depending so much on your Entourage.
**[07:58] ---**
Entourages will always
be AutoReivs and nothing more.
**[08:00] ---**
To become a fellow citizen,
**[08:02] ---**
you need to work harder
on your human relationships.
**[08:05] ---**
Inspector Re-l.
**[08:08] ---**
Last time I saw you was
at the interview, right?
**[08:12] ---**
Vincent Law.
**[08:14] ---**
Vincent.
**[08:15] ---**
Your Excellency!
**[08:17] ---**
If only you'd let me know...
**[08:19] ---**
You were told not to address her
in that manner previously.
**[08:29] ---**
Um, this is the infected
AutoReiv from last night.
**[08:35] ---**
Looks pretty bad.
**[08:36] ---**
It's because of the machine
we use here at the bureau.
**[08:40] ---**
We gotta do this to them,
otherwise they won't stop.
**[08:44] ---**
You got a complaint?
**[08:46] ---**
No. I'm sorry.
**[08:49] ---**
Here's the hippocampus file.
**[08:52] ---**
There's been a lot of these
types of infections recently.
**[08:58] ---**
Analyzing.
**[09:01] ---**
They say AutoReivs that have
been infected by the cogito virus...
**[09:04] ---**
achieve self awareness, and can
no longer be controlled by humans.
**[09:10] ---**
In this city of Romdo,
**[09:11] ---**
where all the systems are
designed in order that we may live...
**[09:15] ---**
even the prayers of an AutoReiv
who's prepared to die, aren't necessary.
**[09:20] ---**
Your job is to protect
the citizens from that element.
**[09:24] ---**
That's the shortest route for an
immigrant to become a fellow citizen.
**[09:29] ---**
By the way, Vincent...
**[09:31] ---**
Yes.
**[09:32] ---**
I see you still have that thing.
**[09:36] ---**
Well, yes.
**[09:37] ---**
Things that smell of Mosk
are to be thrown away.
**[09:42] ---**
Don't bring it to the
preliminary hearing.
**[09:44] ---**
Analysis Complete.
**[09:46] ---**
What do we got?
**[09:49] ---**
We're in luck, Re-l.
**[09:50] ---**
Looks like part of the autonomic nerve file
managed to escape infection.
**[09:55] ---**
I did a reconstruction based
on its memory information and
**[09:57] ---**
obtained a projected escape boundary.
**[09:59] ---**
Good.
**[10:00] ---**
Well...
**[10:01] ---**
You can return to your duties.
**[10:03] ---**
I don't think your Entourage
can wait much longer.
**[10:12] ---**
He was staring at you, Re-l.
**[10:15] ---**
He was?
**[10:16] ---**
As if you didn't notice.
**[10:19] ---**
Vincent...
**[10:22] ---**
Sorry, I know you've been up all night,
**[10:23] ---**
but I'm having you make
up for your mistake right away.
**[10:25] ---**
It's a job examining an
AutoReiv for infection.
**[10:27] ---**
That is a face of a fellow citizen.
**[10:31] ---**
The face of a person this town desires.
**[10:36] ---**
A dull face.
**[10:39] ---**
But perhaps it's me, the one
who looks down on them like that...
**[10:43] ---**
who's the unnecessary element.
**[10:48] ---**
Let's go, Iggy.
**[11:00] ---**
I don't know just when.
**[11:03] ---**
I'll leave it to you. Sorry to bother you.
**[11:08] ---**
Please, continue.
**[11:09] ---**
Yes.
**[11:10] ---**
We've expanded the search to
**[11:12] ---**
include areas in and around the
D, E, and F Temporary Immigrant Districts.
**[11:17] ---**
Armed AutoReivs are currently patrolling
the mainland as well as the island.
**[11:22] ---**
But they still haven't been
able to find anything.
**[11:25] ---**
I wonder if perhaps it's no
longer in the residential areas.
**[11:29] ---**
I'll see that we're prepared for it.
**[11:32] ---**
It's an Immigration Bureau
facility that's gone out of use.
**[11:35] ---**
They say there are some
immigrants now occupying it illegally.
**[11:40] ---**
Headquarters?
**[11:41] ---**
We've reached the projected
escape boundary.
**[11:45] ---**
The Chief can take it from there.
**[11:47] ---**
We'll give a detailed report later.
**[11:51] ---**
Re-l, they want us to wait
until the Security Bureau arrives.
**[11:55] ---**
Chief's orders.
**[12:13] ---**
That's my Mary.
**[12:19] ---**
Confirmed.
**[12:20] ---**
It's an ED26731 Companion AutoReiv.
**[12:26] ---**
May I see your immigration permit?
**[13:03] ---**
What was that?
**[13:23] ---**
Is she infected?
**[13:40] ---**
Re-l, what happened?
**[13:42] ---**
Target: Single kill. Confirmed.
**[13:46] ---**
Wait!
**[13:49] ---**
Iggy!
**[13:50] ---**
The AutoReiv from before...!
**[13:58] ---**
What was that?
**[14:00] ---**
Iggy! Contact the Disposal Unit.
**[14:02] ---**
Have them go after her.
**[14:04] ---**
Roger!
**[14:06] ---**
More importantly...
**[14:23] ---**
What was that thing?
**[14:49] ---**
That completes the analysis.
**[14:51] ---**
But there doesn't appear to
be any sign of infection.
**[14:54] ---**
That can't be.
**[14:56] ---**
If you'd seen the way Pino
was acting yesterday...
**[14:57] ---**
It's just that the test results are highly reliable.
If you'd seen the way Pino was acting yesterday...
**[15:04] ---**
Oh, yes. As a matter of fact,
**[15:07] ---**
the Welfare and Human Affairs
Department has just decided
**[15:09] ---**
to give us the child we've always wanted.
**[15:13] ---**
So an AutoReiv that can also serve
as a housekeeper would be very useful
**[15:17] ---**
in terms of the child's
education and development.
**[15:20] ---**
It's true, residents are
encouraged to consume more.
**[15:24] ---**
But, as long as it's not infected,
**[15:26] ---**
it would be against
regulations for me to take it back.
**[15:29] ---**
Don't give me that.
I know you're an immigrant.
**[15:34] ---**
How can an immigrant not
listen to what I say?
**[15:40] ---**
Lowly immigrant.
**[15:42] ---**
My husband is the Chief
of the Security Bureau...
**[15:48] ---**
You must not speak ill
of immigrants, Mother.
**[15:54] ---**
Mother, you still haven't
done the housework today.
**[15:58] ---**
If Father were to come home...
**[16:03] ---**
Raul.
**[16:04] ---**
It's unfortunate this situation
arose right after you took office, Chief.
**[16:11] ---**
Or it could be that he is lucky
**[16:13] ---**
because the Proxy has awakened.
**[16:17] ---**
An on-going sweep operation
focusing on the residential areas,
**[16:22] ---**
has been taking place
across Romdo City, since last night.
**[16:25] ---**
However nothing has turned up yet.
**[16:27] ---**
Which would mean he's
probably already made it
**[16:30] ---**
to the immigrant district
located on the city's perimeter.
**[16:34] ---**
There's no reason to think otherwise.
**[16:36] ---**
The masterless immigrants.
**[16:39] ---**
Could someone or something
amongst them be giving them help?
**[16:42] ---**
That's not possible.
**[16:44] ---**
They don't even know that
the thing even exists.
**[16:48] ---**
There's something I'd like to confirm.
**[16:50] ---**
What is it?
**[16:52] ---**
Is capturing it the only option?
**[16:54] ---**
At this point we've
confirmed the loss of forty-one citizens.
**[16:59] ---**
In recent years our city has also
seen numerous and frequent cases
**[17:02] ---**
of AutoReivs running wild
as a result of the cogito virus,
**[17:04] ---**
whose origins remain unknown.
**[17:06] ---**
This has been accompanied by a
steady increase in the number of victims.
**[17:10] ---**
It won't be long before a sense
of insecurity grows amongst the citizens...
**[17:12] ---**
even when such information has
been kept under control.
**[17:17] ---**
In order to keep order in the streets,
**[17:19] ---**
I'd like to have permission
to kill it, just in case.
**[17:29] ---**
Raul, you must not take pre-emptive action.
**[17:32] ---**
You have to capture it.
**[17:34] ---**
By no means are you to kill it.
**[17:37] ---**
You needn't worry about the
loss of a few citizens.
**[17:41] ---**
If we run low, all we need to
do is increase production.
**[17:45] ---**
In any case, the important thing
is to bring him back.
**[17:48] ---**
You understand, don't you Raul?
**[17:52] ---**
Just one last thing.
**[17:55] ---**
What is a "Proxy"?
**[18:02] ---**
Re-l, I found four dead bodies so far.
**[18:06] ---**
This is what the Security
Bureau wanted to cover up.
**[18:10] ---**
There's something else I've learned.
**[18:15] ---**
The killer is not a
cogito infected AutoReiv.
**[18:19] ---**
Then who is it?
**[18:34] ---**
The Security Bureau is issuing an order.
**[18:37] ---**
Continuing in this activity,
**[18:39] ---**
may constitute a violation
of official regulations.
**[18:46] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[18:49] ---**
They told us to safeguard the crime scene
**[18:51] ---**
but they didn't say we
couldn't look around.
**[18:55] ---**
That's true but...
**[18:58] ---**
Let's go back before that
guy you don't care for gets here.
**[19:01] ---**
If we press any further, I'll be in
trouble with my grandfather again.
**[19:08] ---**
Re-l?
**[19:09] ---**
Hey, what are you talking about?
**[19:11] ---**
Don't worry about it, Iggy.
**[19:17] ---**
I'm terribly sorry, but
please submit the papers...
**[19:30] ---**
Dorothy?
**[19:45] ---**
From the destructive power we saw in here
**[19:47] ---**
and the leaping ability
we observed when it escaped,
**[19:50] ---**
either of those things would be impossible for
even a high-mobility-type AutoReiv. Correct?
**[19:55] ---**
Why were they doing top-secret
research on a monster like this?
**[20:01] ---**
So the Regent didn't tell you?
**[20:07] ---**
To be honest, I don't
know what the point was either.
**[20:11] ---**
I just looked after the specimen
while it remained in a deep sleep.
**[20:16] ---**
But obtaining that sort of power
would have significant implications.
**[20:24] ---**
At least that's the first
thought that pops into my head.
**[20:28] ---**
Chief Raul.
**[20:30] ---**
She's in Temporary Immigrant District D...
**[20:35] ---**
Re-l Mayer?
**[20:42] ---**
So, Iggy, I want you to access
the databank at headquarters and
**[20:46] ---**
have all the cases similar
to this one put in a file.
**[20:49] ---**
Roger.
**[21:19] ---**
Called in by my grandfather.
**[21:23] ---**
Signs of unrest at the Security Bureau.
**[21:27] ---**
And then... that...
**[21:36] ---**
The points must somehow be connected.
**[21:43] ---**
Oh, what a day.
**[25:30] ---**
The Security Bureau is out of control.
**[25:32] ---**
The silence of the Intelligence Bureau.
**[25:33] ---**
The manipulation of Entourage AutoReivs.
**[25:35] ---**
They're all connected to the monsters,
and the points form a line.
**[25:39] ---**
Confession of a Fellow Citizen
**[25:40] ---**
That's when a hidden truth is revealed.
**[25:44] ---**
