[00:03] ---
    So, how does he seem?
[00:07] ---
    Citizen Registration Number
    021723.
[00:10] ---
    Former Chief of the Health and
    Welfare Bureau, Daedalus Yumeno.
[00:16] ---
    The Administrative Bureau
    stripped him of his authority.
[00:19] ---
    He's a quiet individual and has
    kept a low profile since being replaced.
[00:25] ---
    Do you know the reason, Kristeva?
[00:28] ---
    You seem to be in a good mood today.
[00:31] ---
    Do I?
[00:33] ---
    I'm simply accepting who I am,
[00:37] ---
    and looking forward to the
    day when I won't need anyone else.
[00:43] ---
    I'm not worried about monsters anymore.
[00:47] ---
    But he's different.
[00:50] ---
    The Regent's lovely granddaughter,
    Re-l Mayer, has died...
[00:54] ---
    along with the Proxy
    named Monad that he was hiding.
[01:00] ---
    He's lost his raison d'etre.
[01:03] ---
    His reason for being?
[01:06] ---
    Look at this beautiful world in
    which nothing goes to waste.
[01:11] ---
    We are all created as cogwheels
    for this paradise and permitted to exist,
[01:15] ---
    for the sake of fulfilling
    reasons given in advance.
[01:20] ---
    However, Daedalus Yumeno
    has at once lost his own raison d'etre...
[01:26] ---
    the Proxy and Re-l Mayer.
[01:40] ---
    You might say he's a broken cog.
[02:02] ---
    Re-l...
[03:55] ---
    An immortal entity sealed for
    eternity has been lost.
[04:03] ---
    Do you know the reason why?
[04:06] ---
    This awakening has invited destruction
[04:09] ---
    and the blood continues
    to flow in our tranquil paradise.
[04:12] ---
    Do you know the reason why?
[04:15] ---
    We've already submitted our report...
[04:18] ---
    but the problems keep mounting.
[04:22] ---
    Power shortages for the
    magnetic field life support system...
[04:24] ---
    in the dome's outer block are
    a source of concern.
[04:28] ---
    The entire system needs to be
    dramatically improved immediately.
[04:32] ---
    That is the answer at which you've arrived.
[04:36] ---
    Over-thinking burdens
    the mind and leads to crime.
[04:41] ---
    What happened to Re-l Mayer could
    very well have happened to you.
[04:49] ---
    You know the reason, don't you, Raul?
[04:57] ---
    That's enough.
[04:59] ---
    We must think of what to do
    after the Proxy is gone.
[05:04] ---
    We know too little.
[05:07] ---
    Therefore we must think.
[05:10] ---
    Therefore we must think.
[05:14] ---
    Therefore...
[05:15] ---
    Therefore...
[05:16] ---
    Therefore...
[05:24] ---
    Damn Entourages...
[05:30] ---
    I think, therefore I...
[05:45] ---
    Chief, your hand...
[05:48] ---
    The wounds you can see...
[05:50] ---
    We should order a medical exam
    from the Health and Welfare Bureau.
[05:54] ---
    The Regent never answers.
    He merely questions.
[05:59] ---
    Why?
[06:00] ---
    It's hard to know.
[06:02] ---
    I know.
[06:04] ---
    It's the wailing of someone who's
    suddenly lost the person they love most.
[06:08] ---
    Regent! Why do you look away?!
[06:12] ---
    Why?!
[06:13] ---
    Why?!
[06:16] ---
    In reality, this place called Romdo is...
[06:21] ---
    What's that?!
[06:23] ---
    Emergency Stop Code acknowledged.
[06:25] ---
    Emergency Use Phase, sequence started...
[06:29] ---
    confirmed.
[06:35] ---
    Existence
[06:37] ---
    Power was automatically restored
[06:40] ---
    after a 2 minute 17 second interruption.
[06:42] ---
    We still haven't been
    able to pinpoint the cause...
[06:45] ---
    but the power failure this time didn't
    interfere with the life support system.
[06:49] ---
    What do you mean, "this time"?
[06:50] ---
    For the past three weeks we've been
    having power failures similar to this one.
[06:56] ---
    Did we ever receive a report?
[06:59] ---
    No.
[07:00] ---
    They were all intermittent and
    lasted for a fraction of a second...
[07:03] ---
    so they were treated as accidents.
[07:06] ---
    An analysis indicated there was
    a human factor, but nothing specific.
[07:12] ---
    An infected AutoReiv?
[07:14] ---
    No, maybe an immigrant terrorist group...
[07:17] ---
    but still...
[07:22] ---
    2 minutes, 17 seconds?
[07:27] ---
    Kristeva.
[07:28] ---
    Yes.
[07:30] ---
    What do you think?
[07:31] ---
    Judging from the time and the effect,
[07:33] ---
    it can be surmised that the
    power stoppages till now were
[07:36] ---
    carried out in order to
    deceive the Security Bureau.
[07:39] ---
    They were tests conducted for that purpose.
[07:41] ---
    Beautiful. And this time?
[07:44] ---
    It's fair to assume that
    it was some type of warning.
[07:48] ---
    I see. What makes you think that?
[07:51] ---
    The city's life support
    system can be maintained
[07:55] ---
    for up to three minutes
    during a power outage.
[07:58] ---
    Which would mean that whoever
    did it didn't want anyone to die, right?
[08:03] ---
    Yes, sir.
[08:09] ---
    I should get a medical exam.
    Make an appointment for me.
[08:16] ---
    Let's get him to examine me.
[08:18] ---
    But he's no longer authorized.
[08:21] ---
    There's something I want
    you to do for me as well.
[08:24] ---
    I want you to look for the
    research data he was hiding.
[08:28] ---
    I'm not treating patients anymore.
[08:32] ---
    For someone who looks like a boy,
    you're a very bold man.
[08:37] ---
    Won't you please leave?
[08:40] ---
    Or should I say... a romanticist?
[08:43] ---
    I can have Deleuze find you another doctor.
[08:46] ---
    Now then, what is it you're driving at?
[08:49] ---
    What do you mean?
[08:51] ---
    Going through all the
    trouble of calling me here.
[08:55] ---
    I'm sorry, Chief Raul,
    but I have nothing more to say.
[09:03] ---
    I was created in order to
    protect the specimen and Re-l...
[09:07] ---
    to raise them in good health.
[09:10] ---
    But now that I've lost both of them...
[09:14] ---
    I've lost my raison d'etre.
[09:18] ---
    I heard your heartfelt cry and
    came to offer what little help I could.
[09:25] ---
    As if you had telepathy?
[09:31] ---
    It's creepy.
[09:33] ---
    For some reason it only seems
    to work with you, Daedalus Yumeno.
[09:37] ---
    Strange, isn't it?
[09:40] ---
    It looks like he's agreed
    to give me my medical exam...
[09:43] ---
    during which time I
    want you to hurry up and
[09:45] ---
    search for the data
    I instructed you about earlier.
[09:48] ---
    Where are you going?
[09:50] ---
    He could use a breath of fresh air.
[09:53] ---
    No cause for alarm.
[09:54] ---
    He's still not permitted to go out.
[09:58] ---
    That's up to me, isn't it?
[10:01] ---
    Yes, certainly.
[10:10] ---
    That's mean of you. There's no data here.
[10:14] ---
    She'll keep searching
    until she finds something.
[10:17] ---
    She's a professional.
[10:19] ---
    So now we have plenty of time to ourselves?
[10:25] ---
    It's OK.
[10:27] ---
    The Representative doesn't
    have anything to do with them.
[10:29] ---
    Representative? You mean the Regent?
[10:33] ---
    You really don't leave anything to chance.
[10:36] ---
    That's why you insisted on having
[10:38] ---
    an unemployed doctor
    give you a medical exam, right?
[10:44] ---
    Well done. You figured
    it out quicker than I expected.
[10:48] ---
    You've been having too much fun.
[10:50] ---
    You're quite timid.
[10:53] ---
    I am aware of the life
    support system's limits.
[10:57] ---
    The Regent has interpreted
    it as a warning from someone.
[11:01] ---
    You did a good job of misleading him.
[11:04] ---
    All that's left is for the Security Bureau
    to make the appropriate arrests
[11:08] ---
    when the time is right.
[11:10] ---
    Daedalus Yumeno. Citizen
    number 0-2-1-7-2-3.
[11:15] ---
    2 minutes, 17.23 seconds.
[11:18] ---
    I tested it so many times.
[11:21] ---
    Is that supposed to be a threat?
[11:23] ---
    They're very effective.
[11:25] ---
    Are you wondering if you
    might be exposed for
[11:29] ---
    eliminating someone who was in your way?
[11:32] ---
    What are you referring to?
[11:33] ---
    You shouldn't have used the cogito virus.
[11:38] ---
    Let's cut the act.
[11:39] ---
    The reason we
    went through all this trouble was...
[11:42] ---
    so we could speak freely
    without the Regent hearing us.
[11:45] ---
    Are you going to get rid of me now too?
[11:48] ---
    It wasn't enough to deprive
    me of my treasure and my job?
[11:53] ---
    You brought this upon yourself.
[11:58] ---
    You're the one who hid yourself from
    the Regent by using the Monad as bait.
[12:08] ---
    I see.
[12:10] ---
    No matter how desperate you became,
[12:13] ---
    there was something you
    had to conceal from the Regent.
[12:18] ---
    The fact that there was another Proxy.
[12:21] ---
    You reached a dead end, and the
    incident was a convenient way
[12:26] ---
    to hide the other Proxy's
    existence from the Collective.
[12:31] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[12:32] ---
    And that hid something else from them.
[12:37] ---
    Namely...
[12:41] ---
    the fact that Re-l Mayer is alive.
[13:26] ---
    Are you all right, Re-l?
[13:28] ---
    Yeah. Did you find anyone?
[13:31] ---
    I thought researching the
    power plant came first.
[13:36] ---
    Now that we're on the outside,
    power supply is our number one concern.
[13:40] ---
    Iggy...
[13:42] ---
    Don't worry, Re-l.
[13:44] ---
    The town is a bit retro,
    but the technology is not bad.
[13:48] ---
    The energy source is compatible and...
[13:50] ---
    once it's connected,
    we'll interact with...
[13:52] ---
    Iggy...
[13:55] ---
    There are no people in this town.
[14:05] ---
    The outside world?
[14:09] ---
    You've fooled the Regent, that's for sure.
[14:14] ---
    Since we all know leaving this
    paradise means death.
[14:18] ---
    It must have been raison d'etre that
    drove a realist like her to risk her life.
[14:24] ---
    That is the Proxy.
[14:29] ---
    You considered using her in order
    to obtain another Proxy, didn't you?
[14:34] ---
    But you started to realize
    it would never work.
[14:38] ---
    And you'd lose her as well...
[14:42] ---
    You can't protect her once
    she's on the outside.
[14:46] ---
    That's why you sent me the message.
[14:49] ---
    You think I'd join hands with you...
[14:52] ---
    the person who tried to kill Re-l?
[14:57] ---
    You think I did?
[15:03] ---
    No...
[15:07] ---
    Maybe it's better not having any people.
[15:12] ---
    They'll keep on working...
[15:14] ---
    until the world rots away.
[15:18] ---
    For who?
[15:20] ---
    Working though they've lost the people
    who gave meaning to their existence.
[15:25] ---
    They didn't have a reason to begin with.
[15:28] ---
    Re-l.
[15:29] ---
    I was just wondering
    what you'd do if I wasn't here.
[15:35] ---
    Don't even say something like that.
[15:37] ---
    How about you, Re-l?
    What would you do if I wasn't here?
[15:42] ---
    Silly. You know I'd never leave you.
[15:47] ---
    It's not funny.
[15:49] ---
    But you're laughing.
[15:51] ---
    Hey, Re-l!
[15:54] ---
    Don't worry. I was just
    zoning out for a moment.
[15:58] ---
    You must be tired, Re-l.
[16:01] ---
    I'll go get supplies for the
    machine. You get some rest.
[16:06] ---
    What am I here for?
[16:10] ---
    The purpose of the
    trip is to find an answer.
[16:13] ---
    But suppose I find the Proxy...
[16:18] ---
    what do I do then?
[16:23] ---
    Why would the Representative...?
[16:25] ---
    You really are still young.
[16:28] ---
    It seems you took the Regent too lightly.
[16:31] ---
    It doesn't matter if
    she's his granddaughter,
[16:33] ---
    she was guilty of disloyalty.
[16:35] ---
    Rules are rules. There
    can be no exceptions.
[16:40] ---
    Did you think you'd
    get away with it so easily?
[16:43] ---
    Once again, I'm asking
    you about the power outage.
[16:46] ---
    It was a message...
[16:47] ---
    I'm not such an optimist
    as to take things at face value.
[16:51] ---
    I know poison bait when I see it.
[16:55] ---
    By causing the power outage this time,
[16:58] ---
    you obtained enormous amounts of energy.
[17:00] ---
    What did you use it for?
[17:03] ---
    I tried to resuscitate the Proxy.
[17:06] ---
    Beautiful.
[17:08] ---
    If you agree to my deal,
    I'll give you a toy.
[17:13] ---
    Although given your current situation,
    you don't have much choice.
[17:19] ---
    A toy?
[17:35] ---
    Where did you come from?
[17:42] ---
    That's a pretty pendant.
[17:44] ---
    It's a...
[17:45] ---
    Is it a treasure?
[17:47] ---
    No, not exactly.
[17:49] ---
    Then can I have it?
[17:51] ---
    Hey, wait!
[17:59] ---
    Why did the Proxy die?
[18:02] ---
    Because Amrita cells, which are
    supposedly indestructible, were destroyed.
[18:06] ---
    What was the reason?
[18:07] ---
    You took my toy from me before
    I was able to verify anything.
[18:12] ---
    That was harsh of me.
[18:14] ---
    I'll show you how sorry
    I am by lending you my toy.
[18:17] ---
    You can play with it as you like...
[18:19] ---
    but only under the guidance
    and supervision of an adult...
[18:23] ---
    who knows right from wrong.
[18:26] ---
    Because it's a toy for grown-ups, right?
[18:29] ---
    That's a good boy.
[18:44] ---
    Let's play together from now on.
[18:46] ---
    I can't.
[18:49] ---
    Why? This is such a great place.
[18:53] ---
    You're right, it is.
[18:55] ---
    But there's someone I have to meet.
[19:00] ---
    You're scared?
    You really don't want to meet him?
[19:05] ---
    Even if you're able to meet him...
[19:07] ---
    you might just end up standing there,
    paralyzed by your fears.
[19:13] ---
    You might not be able to
    go back to the way it was before.
[19:17] ---
    The thing you seek might
    be something cruel.
[19:22] ---
    Do you still want it, even so?
[19:25] ---
    The truth...
[19:30] ---
    is in his hands.
[19:45] ---
    It'll bring you good luck.
[20:03] ---
    You'll probably take this the
    wrong way, but I'll say it anyway.
[20:05] ---
    I want to save the world.
[20:08] ---
    That's so touching. I'm about to cry.
[20:13] ---
    It seems you haven't been
    trained sufficiently.
[20:16] ---
    Sorry, but I'm not as
    lenient as the Regent.
[20:20] ---
    I can behave in a most
    unpleasant way when necessary.
[20:24] ---
    Daedalus Yumeno.
[20:32] ---
    Now you're free to delve into
    the research you love so much.
[20:36] ---
    You'll be doing it just for me.
[20:44] ---
    Did you find it?
[20:46] ---
    Not yet.
[20:48] ---
    If you can't find it,
    that means it's not here, right?
[20:53] ---
    How did you deal with Daedalus Yumeno?
[20:56] ---
    I've reversed his dismissal.
[20:58] ---
    He's going to work under
    my supervision from now on.
[21:02] ---
    It took some trouble to bring him around...
[21:06] ---
    but I think he'll be able to learn
    a great deal from the experience.
[21:09] ---
    It's the victor who has
    the right to be just.
[21:15] ---
    Welcome home. I'm so happy you came back.
[21:23] ---
    I'll be doing my research for you?
[21:25] ---
    You don't even have the slightest clue.
[21:28] ---
    This is all for you, Re-l.
[21:32] ---
    My Re-l.
[21:35] ---
    Re-l...
[21:38] ---
    Re-l... Re-l!
[21:43] ---
    Re-l. Re-l!
[21:48] ---
    Oh, Iggy?
[21:49] ---
    What are you doing running off like that?
[21:52] ---
    I was looking all over for you.
[21:57] ---
    What? What's the matter?
[22:00] ---
    Hey! Are you sure you're OK?
[22:04] ---
    It's nothing.
[22:06] ---
    I was having a dream.
[22:26] ---
    I don't have to sneak around anymore.
[22:30] ---
    This is what 2 minutes,
    17 seconds gets you.
[22:48] ---
    This should be plenty.
[23:01] ---
    The only thing left is to load it.
[25:31] ---
    At the ends of the earth,
    shrouded in white...
[25:34] ---
    the abandoned past appears.
[25:36] ---
    The one who continued their
    journey from the other side of oblivion...
[25:40] ---
    sees the two fates
[25:41] ---
    from behind
    as they come together once again.
[25:41] ---
    In the White Darkness
[25:43] ---
