[00:21] Martes     Four kilograms. SIGN    Ulula [00:22] Equa     Nine millimeter hollow-point rounds? [00:26] Martes     Four hundred. [00:27] Equa     Anti-drone EMP mines? [00:30] Feles     Thirty-six. [00:32] Equa     Hm... I think that's everything. [00:35] Equa     Thank you for helping me to take stock. [00:38] Martes     Don't mention it, Equa-senpai! [00:41] Feles     That aside, is storing the café and     extractor gear together a good idea? [00:48] Equa     Hm? [00:49] Martes     Is it a job? [00:51] Pengians     Pen! Pen! Pen! [00:52] Equa     Our clients are pengians     from Ikebukuro Cluster. [00:55] Equa     The Sunshine Troupe. [00:57] Feles     Huh? All of them?! [01:00] Martes     One, two, three, four, five, six... 18?! [01:06] Equa     There are a lot of them,     but let's do our best. [01:08] Martes     Let's! SIGN    Estab Life: Great Escape [02:49] Equa     As you see, train tracks divide Ikebukuro     Cluster into eastern and western halves. SIGN    You Can't Run from the Aquarium [02:55] Equa     West Ikebukuro, across the tracks,     is devoted to capitalism. [03:01] Equa     East Ikebukuro, where we are,     is communist territory. [03:06] Martes     So, we need to get our clients     from the East to the West? [03:12] Equa     Yes. This railroad crossing opens     several times a day, but... [03:18] Ulula     Bow-wow-wow! [03:21] Ulula     Awoo! [03:26] Martes     Oh man... [03:28] Alga     Are you all right? [03:30] Equa     These tracks look easy     to cross, but they aren't. [03:33] Equa     And the trains are timed to make you     want to cross. Not very nice, is it? [03:38] Equa     Therefore, um... Well... [03:44] Feles     We can't use this place for an extraction. [03:47] Alga     What should we do about Ulula? [03:49] Martes     Let's put him to bed underground. [03:51] Equa     I'm sorry, Ulula-san. [03:54] Equa     We'll do your share of     the work while you rest. [04:06] Feles     Where are the clients? [04:07] Equa     In that building there. [04:18] Pengians     Pen! [04:19] Pengians     Pen! [04:27] Mirpen     Standard human citizens?     You don't see that every day. SIGN                                   [04:31] Mirpen     And you work as sports reporters? [04:34] Martes     We have an appointment to interview     Mikhail-san from the Sunshine Troupe! [04:40] Mirpen     Mikhail? Did you say Mikhail? [04:44] Equa     We did. Do you know him? [04:48] Mirpen     No. [04:50] Mirpen     You may pass. [04:54] Martes     What was that guy's deal? [04:59] Mikhail     That was too slow! Start over from part B! [05:05] Mikhail     Still too slow! Again! [05:08] Mikhail     Do you think you can impress an audience     with a performance like that?! [05:11] Mikhail     Again! [05:14] Martes     Whoa. [05:16] Equa     This is the foremost ballet     troupe in East Ikebukuro. [05:18] Pengians     Pen! [05:19] Pengians     Pen! [05:24] Mikhail     Repeat that part until     you've got it perfect! [05:27] Pengians     Pen! [05:34] Mikhail     We'll stand out here. Follow me. [05:49] Mikhail     Our performances are art. [05:53] Equa     Of course. [05:55] Mikhail     My aesthetic sense demands perfection     down to the angle of every beak. [06:00] Mikhail     Every drop of splashing water in     our little universe is calculated. [06:05] Equa     I see. [06:08] Mikhail     But the Party's censors     do nothing but complain. [06:12] Mikhail     They keep rejecting our ideas. [06:15] Mikhail     Our artistry is lost on them. [06:19] Equa     I see! [06:26] Feles     Huh?! [06:28] Feles     He's adorable! [06:33] Mikhail     What is it? Has my beauty bewitched you? [06:37] Feles     Oh, no, um... [06:43] Equa     In other words, you're fleeing in     search of freedom of expression? [06:48] Equa     You want to escape to the West, even if     it costs you your cushy ballet lifestyle? [06:53] Mikhail     That's exactly right. [06:55] Mikhail     Although it will mean     betraying a close friend. [07:06] Equa     Then please place your thumbprint here. SIGN    Client: Mikhail (seal) SIGN    Written Consent to Run Away SIGN    Client: Mikhail (seal) [07:13] Mikhail     But I'm not the only one who wants to leave. [07:16] Mikhail     There are 18 of us. [07:18] Mikhail     How will you extract us all to the West? [07:21] Equa     We'll run a tether from the roof of     this building to West Ikebukuro. [07:26] Equa     Then, you'll just slide over on a pulley. [07:33] Mikhail     Are you sure that will work? [07:34] Equa     We do this all the time. [07:36] Equa     Although we do have a plan B,      if you're concerned. [07:41] Mikhail     No. Go ahead with this one. [07:44] Equa     In that case, we'll make our     move at midnight tonight. [07:54] Feles     What's the "plan B" you told him you had? [07:58] Equa     It's, well... [08:04] Mirpen     Sports reporters? [08:07] Mirpen     I checked around, and you're not registered. [08:11] Mirpen     You're under arrest on     suspicion of espionage! [08:15] Equa     No violence. [08:17] Feles     But... [08:18] Equa     Please run. [08:49] Martes     How could Equa-senpai be so reckless? [08:52] (Flashback) Martes     Equa-senpai! [08:54] (Flashback) Feles     This way! Hurry! [08:55] (Flashback) Martes     Senpai! [08:59] Alga     The little lady wasn't being reckless. [09:01] Alga     She made the right call. [09:03] Martes     Like hell she did!     Equa-senpai ended up getting caught! [09:09] Feles     We would all have been captured otherwise. [09:14] Feles     Let's assess the situation first,     then decide what to do about it. [09:18] Feles     Got that? [09:20] Martes     I'm not so sure. [09:23] Feles     About what? [09:24] Martes     You're weirdly calm. Aren't you worried? [09:26] Feles     Of course I am! [09:30] Feles     More importantly, what are     the secret police up to? [09:33] Alga     They put the Sunshine     Building on high alert. [09:36] Alga     We can forget about our original plan now. [09:40] Feles     And the clients? [09:41] Alga     Mikhail and his troupe got off     with a light interrogation. [09:44] Feles     That's all? [09:45] Alga     The ballet is a mark of     prestige for the East. [09:48] Alga     They can't come down too hard on it. [09:50] Feles     Still, it's odd. They caught     on to us too quickly. [09:53] Martes     Maybe we just stand out in     a town full of penguins. [09:57] Feles     I think there's more to it. [09:59] Feles     We might have a leak. [10:05] Mirpen     So, you insist that you don't     know anything about this woman? [10:11] Mikhail     I just gave her an interview. [10:14] Mirpen     Oh-ho? [10:16] Mirpen     We've been friends since elementary school. [10:19] Mirpen     You became an artist,     and I joined the secret police. [10:22] Mirpen     But while our chosen paths differ,     we've told each other a lot. [10:26] Mikhail     What about it? [10:29] Mirpen     You've seemed dissatisfied with     your programs at the pool lately. [10:39] Mirpen     Are you hoping to defect to the West? [10:42] Mikhail     Don't be ridiculous! [10:45] Mirpen     You'd have no censors to deal with there. [10:48] Mirpen     Did their nonsense about     "freedom of expression" attract you? [10:53] Mikhail     I know I've complained, [10:56] Mikhail     but I only said those things     because I trust you as a friend! [11:02] Mirpen     If you betray the Party,     you're not my friend anymore. [11:09] Mirpen     Mikhail, don't imagine [11:12] Mirpen     that you can get away from me. [11:18] Mirpen     I'll catch the rest of the spies,     so prepare for the consequences. [11:24] Mikhail     Mirpen... [11:36] Mikhail     Mirpen! [11:38] Mikhail     You have every right to be angry, [11:40] Mikhail     but I can't compromise. [11:42] Mikhail     In order to pursue true art, I must— [11:47] Martes     Excuse us. [11:48] Alga     Internal security was surprisingly lax. [11:51] Mikhail     Wh-What are you doing here? [11:53] Feles     We couldn't risk a phone call,     so we came to talk in person. [11:59] Mikhail     Did you hear that whole conversation? [12:02] Feles     Of course. [12:03] Feles     Now I understand how they     caught onto us so quickly. [12:08] Martes     I can't believe you and that secret     police penguin are buddies. [12:12] Mikhail     You've got it wrong! I— [12:14] Martes     Quit your yapping! We're breaking her out! SIGN                                   [12:19] Mirpen     This ID of yours [12:22] Mirpen     is so well made that I can     hardly tell it's a fake. [12:26] Mirpen     How did you do it? [12:27] Equa     I'm sure the forger will     be delighted to hear it. [12:30] Equa     They seemed rather proud of it. [12:33] Mirpen     That wasn't a compliment. [12:35] Equa     Oh, pardon me. [12:37] Mirpen     And what's that pass? [12:40] Mirpen     It's made with unknown technology. [12:42] Equa     Oh, it's really not as special as— [12:46] Mirpen     Even your DNA data is full of mysteries. [12:49] Mirpen     You're not a therianthrope     or a standard human. [12:51] Mirpen     I can't even tell if you're human at all. [12:56] Mirpen     An analysis of your telomeres     puts your age at 300. [13:00] Mirpen     Or 17. [13:03] Mirpen     Or 56,700,000,000. [13:07] Mirpen     Basically, your genes make no sense! [13:11] Mirpen     Tell me! Who the hell are you?! [13:15] Equa     Well... I'm not exactly sure myself, so... [13:27] Mirpen     But there's one thing I am certain of. [13:30] Mirpen     You're an extractor, aren't you? [13:34] Equa     Um, well... [13:37] Equa     Yes. I'm impressed you saw through me. [13:39] Mirpen     I knew it. The secret police     records include reports [13:44] Mirpen     that expert extractors have aided     numerous defectors in the past. [13:49] Equa     I'm honored that you think so highly of us. [13:51] Mirpen     Like I said, that wasn't a compliment! [13:53] Equa     Oh, I'm so sorry. [13:57] Mirpen     Why do you do it? [13:59] Equa     Excuse me? [14:00] Mirpen     Here, their livelihoods are assured. [14:03] Mirpen     No one in their right mind     would go to the West. [14:08] Equa     I just want to help people who     find where they are suffocating. [14:14] Mirpen     And you don't care if they     die in the gutter afterward? [14:20] Mirpen     A bird that escapes its     cage can't live long. [14:23] Mirpen     So, why let them go?     They'll just end up dead! [14:28] Equa     I'm not sure how to take     that, coming from a penguin. [14:34] Mirpen     I refuse to play along with     any more of your games. [14:38] Mirpen     Now, answer me! [14:40] Equa     Please take two steps back. [14:43] Mirpen     What are you— [14:44] Equa     Please just do it. [15:18] Alga     She's in the fifth floor interrogation room. [15:21] Martes     Okay. I'm on my way. [15:23] Feles     Mikhail, get started. [15:25] Mikhail     R-Roger that! [15:27] Pengians     Pen! [15:35] Pengians     Pen... [15:44] Head Guard     Th-They're not just     attacking the front gate. [15:47] Head Guard     Shells seem to be striking the building     from all sides, one after—Pen! [15:51] Mirpen     Start by assessing the situation! [15:54] Mirpen     Drones, focus on the gate! Officers,     identify enemies in the vicinity! [15:58] Mirpen     No, not you! You stay here! [16:00] Mirpen     Send your subordinates to— [16:02] Mirpen     What? I can't hear you! [16:07] Mirpen     Hey! I can't hear you! [16:13] Mirpen     Has anyone seen the enemy?! [16:16] Mirpen     Find out if anyone has actually     been shot, you nincompoops! [16:21] Mirpen     I know about the front gate!     I mean anywhere else! [16:24] Mirpen     This might be someone's     attempt at a diversion! [16:30] Mirpen     Forget it! Just wait there! I'm on my way! [16:34] Mirpen     What?! She's gone?! [16:43] Feles     I'm running low on ammo. [16:47] Alga     We're at our limit. Pull out. [16:49] Feles     No! We can't abandon her! [16:53] Equa     Abandon who? [16:56] Alga     Are you hurt, little lady? [16:59] Equa     I'm sorry I made you worry,     Feles-san, Alga-san. [17:04] Feles     I-I wasn't exactly worried. [17:08] Alga     That's not how it looked to me. [17:12] Equa     So, what are our plans now? [17:14] Feles     Um... [17:16] Alga     We haven't decided. [17:18] Equa     In that case, follow me. [17:27] Mikhail     Hurry! [17:33] Mirpen     After them! Hunt them down! [17:42] Feles     Didn't you say you had a "plan B"? [17:44] Equa     I'm sorry. I hadn't actually thought of one. [17:47] Feles     What?! [17:49] Equa     But, um... this might work out. [17:52] Alga     The usual, then? [17:53] Feles     Huh? [17:58] Equa     Turn right at the second intersection,     then drive straight. [18:03] Mikhail     But that will take us to— [18:04] Equa     Exactly! The Saikyo Line crossing! [18:07] Feles     What?! [18:13] Mikhail     I-If we keep going this way... [18:15] Equa     Straight ahead. [18:16] Mikhail     But... [18:17] Equa     Go faster. Full speed ahead. [18:19] Feles     Hang on! You can't be serious about— [18:25] Equa     Don't worry. Believe in me. [18:28] Martes     Of course, I believe in you... [18:39] Mirpen     Don't tell me they're suicidal? [18:57] Mikhail     We're done for! It's going to hit us! [18:58] Equa     Don't worry. It will only graze us. [19:23] Mikhail     W-We made it? [19:27] Alga     That's Fatal Luck—the little lady's     power to predict the future. [19:32] Alga     Not even I know how it works, though. [19:39] Mirpen     No one should be able to predict     when this crossing will be clear. [19:46] Mirpen     But that woman did it. [19:50] Mirpen     Who on earth is she? [19:54] Mikhail     Farewell, my friend. [19:57] Equa     Are you all right? [19:59] Mikhail     I have no regrets. [20:01] Mikhail     After all, [20:02] Mikhail     we've finally made it to     the world of the West! [20:07] Mikhail     We're free! We're in a free     world with no censors! [20:13] Mikhail     And here, we'll pursue true art! [21:54] Mikhail     Our bottoms are freezing! [21:58] Mikhail     Pen pen pen pen! [22:00] Pengians     Pen! [22:01] Pengians     Pen! [22:02] Pengians     Pen! [22:06] Mikhail     Thank you. [22:08] Mikhail     This... This is... [22:10] Mikhail     Slappy-slappy Punch! [22:16] Martes     Slappy-slappy! Slappy-slappy! [22:20] Feles     This is "true art"? [22:22] Mikhail     Slappy-slappy Punch! [22:26] Mirpen     Mikhail... [22:30] Mirpen     You went so far as defecting to the West... [22:34] Mirpen     to do this?! [22:43] Equa     Mikhail-san is working     hard to become a success. [22:46] Equa     I'm so impressed with him. [22:49] Martes     Capitalism is rough!
