    Hey, rookie, is dinner ready yet?
[00:22] A
    Almost!
[00:24] A

    Damn, you got me!
[00:34] Kim
    I can't believe you beat Kondo at shooting.
[00:36] C
    I'm a gamer at heart, you see.
[00:38] A
    Okay, all done.
[00:40] A
    Oh, right. I've taken over Alma's body
    a bunch of times now.
[00:43] A
    I never really had time
    to dwell on it before,
[00:47] A
    but you know...
[00:49] All
    Let's eat!
[00:53] Mi
    What the heck? This is amazing!
[00:55] Kim
    Yeah, it's yummy!
[00:56] Kon
    We got a master chef in the house, baby.
[00:59] Ar
    Way to go, kid.
[01:01] A
    I'm glad you like it. And thanks, Alma.
[01:03] Al
    Don't mention it. Connecting with you,
[01:06] Al
    your actions, and your thoughts
    is a valuable experience.
[01:09] Al
    It must be because you're human,
    and not an AI like myself.
[01:13] A
    "Human," huh...
[01:16] A
    Yum!
[01:16] Ch
    Is something the matter?
[01:20] A
    This is so good.
[01:22] A
    I never realized how amazing
    my senses were until I lost them.
[01:26] Mi
    Akira...
[01:29] A
    Will I ever go back to being human?
[01:36] Ch
    Chief?
[01:38] Sh
    All hands, listen up.
    We have orders to sortie.
[03:12] Sh
    An individual taking asylum in Japan
    is suspected of possessing an EX-ARM.
[03:17] A
    Asylum?
[03:19] Sh
    Correct. The former president
    of the Mwange Republic, Jason Mraw.
[03:25] Kim
    President Mraw... You mean that guy?
[03:27] Kon
    The dictator who carried out
    the Mwange Genocide four years ago?
[03:31] A
    What's that "Mwange Genocide" thing?
[03:33] Mi
    Well, obviously, uh... What was it, again?
[03:37] A
    You don't know, either?!
[03:38] Ar
    This squad sure has gained new life.
[03:40] Sh
    Superintendent, switch to the archive.
[03:43] Sh
    In 2026,
[03:45] Sh
    Mraw, then the president-cum-dictator
    of the Mwange Republic in Africa,
[03:48] Sh
    was looking to found a new nation
    for androids.
[03:52] Sh
    When the people opposed it,
[03:54] Sh
    he used his android troops
    and his EX-ARM to massacre them.
[03:58] Sh
    Here's some footage we've obtained
    of the incident.
[04:02] Kim
    What was that?
[04:03] A
    Their heads disappeared?
[04:06] Ar
    Erasing spaces like that is something
    modern science can't decipher.
[04:10] Ar
    Which means...
[04:11] Kon
    An EX-ARM was involved.
[04:14] Mi
    That's so cruel.
[04:16] Ch
    The ensuing civil war led
    to the overthrow of the Mraw regime,
[04:19] Ch
    and he sought asylum in Japan.
[04:29] Nguyen
    This is the Bibot used by the militaries
    of most major European countries.
[04:35] Nguyen
    Ordinary firearms can't even scratch
    this fine piece of work.
[04:38] Elmira
    Excellent as always from Hanoi Farm.
[04:41] Nguyen
    I'm your man when it comes to weapons.
[04:43] Elmira
    I'm sure Master Mraw will be quite pleased
    with this purchase.
[04:48] Ch
    And our country accepted him, knowing that
    the decision would be slammed worldwide.
[04:55] A
    Who's the girl?
[04:56] Sh
    Her name's Elmira.
[04:58] Sh
    She's an android, and Mraw's personal maid.
[05:01] Sh
    There's talk that
    she helped with the genocide.
[05:05] Ar
    We didn't build her, so her specs are unknown.
    Gotta watch out for her.
[05:09] Mi
    Y'know, why'd we even let this asshole in?
[05:13] Kon
    Diplomatic reasons.
[05:16] Kon
    By helping Mraw,
[05:18] Kon
    the US could cheaply procure rare metals
    from companies with ties to him.
[05:21] Kon
    They wanted the booze, but not the boos.
[05:25] Kon
    So they forced Japan to take him instead.
[05:27] Mi
    That sucks!
[05:29] Sh
    That said, there was plenty of opposition
    to it within Japan as well,
[05:33] Sh
    so the government decided to make him
    live in the Yokosuka SEZ.
SIGN    Yokosuka SEZ
[05:38] A
    "S... E... Z"?
[05:41] Kim
    It's like a little foreign nation
    within Japan.
[05:43] Kim
    The UN military's stationed there,
    and extraterritorial rights are in effect.
[05:48] Kim
    Cops like us can't do shit there.
[05:51] Sh
    But if Mraw has an EX-ARM,
    it's our job to confiscate it.
[05:57] Sh
    So we're going to investigate
    his mansion undercover.
[06:02] A
    Undercover?
[06:04] Sh
    The ones on this mission
    will be you and Alma,
[06:07] Sh
    Number 00.
[06:08] A
    Who, me?!
[06:10] Sh
    You'll use your hacking capabilities
    to back up Alma.
[06:15] Sh
    Just so you know,
[06:17] Sh
    everyone who's gone to investigate that mansion
[06:20] Sh
    has gone MIA.
[06:24] Sh
    His EX-ARM's ability may have
    something to do with it.
[06:28] Sh
    Confiscate it before other countries catch on.
[06:31] Al
    Understood.
[06:32] Mi
    One second! That place sounds dangerous!
[06:34] Mi
    Sending this idiot would be one thing,
    but Alma, too?
[06:37] A
    Don't call me an idiot!

    Excuse me, Master Mraw.
[06:53] El
    I'll leave your drink here.
[06:57] El
    What were you gazing at?
[07:05] Mi
    So this is the SEZ.
[07:07] Kim
    What, first time here?
[07:10] Kon
    That guy's UN Lieutenant Neville,
    the guy in charge around here.
[07:15] Nev
    Yo. I hope you didn't come 'ere
    to corrupt this fresh young rookie.
[07:20] Nev
    Surely it can't be that
    Japanese cops are here on duty, right?
[07:26] Kon
    Actually, it is.
[07:28] Kon
    Let us through.
[07:30] Nev
    I'll let you off the hook
    'cause you get slave wages,
[07:33] Nev
    but next time you wanna go through,
    bring me a souvenir.
[07:38] Kim
    He's such a jerk. Every time.
[07:40] Kon
    But now we don't need an appointment.
[07:43] Kon
    Our guy must've heard by now.
[07:45] Mi
    Um, who are going to meet?
[07:47] Kon
    The guy who knows this town
    like the back of his hand.
SIGN    Hanoi Farm
[07:52] Nguyen
    Well, well.
[07:54] Nguyen
    Welcome to my office.
[07:58] Nguyen
    What could the police want from me?
[08:01] Kon
    You're the go-to guy
    for information in this town.
[08:05] Kon
    As they say, it takes one to know one.
[08:07] Nguyen
    I'll have to hear your questions first,
    before I decide whether to answer.
[08:12] Kon
    You know Mraw, the guy who took asylum here
    from the Mwange Republic, don't you?
[08:21] A
    Y'know, what's with this tight-ass outfit?
[08:24] Al
    It's a bodysuit specced for stealth missions.
[08:27] Al
    It won't show up on radar,
    as long as it doesn't get destroyed.
[08:31] Al
    If it does, it'll send an SOS to Squad HQ.
[08:36] A
    Destroyed?
[08:38] A
    I sure hope it doesn't come to that.
[08:41] Al
    Let's sneak into the mansion
    and look for Mraw.
[08:44] A
    Okay!
[08:48] A
    But man...
[08:50] A
    Androids were still a sci-fi concept
    back in my day.
[08:55] A
    Come to think of it,
    my brother was researching them.
[08:58] Al
    Android technology hit a major breakthrough
    in the latter half of the '10s.
[09:04] Al
    The research team that'd later spawn
    Iriya Heavy Industries
[09:08] Al
    published a revolutionary theory.
[09:11] Al
    After the Tokyo Attack, we were mass-produced
    to help rescue and repair efforts,
[09:16] Al
    and we grew rapidly in number.
[09:18] Al
    A worldwide market for androids
    sprang up overnight.
[09:22] A
    Oh...
[09:23] Al
    But the biggest factor in getting androids
    to this point was the military-industrial complex
[09:30] Al
    with its R&D on using androids as weapons
    or tools to replace manual labor.
[09:36] Al
    As we quickly gained a foothold in society,
[09:39] Al
    we also became a target of criticism
    and hatred for taking human jobs and status.
[09:46] A
    Oh. That kinda sucks.
[09:50] Al
    What does?
[09:51] A
    You have to ask?
[09:53] Al
    There's no problem at all.
[09:55] Al
    We are tools built to serve humanity.
[10:04] Kim
    A company truck of yours was spotted
    transporting something to Mraw's mansion.
[10:11] Kim
    What did you sell him?
[10:14] Nguyen
    Whatever could you mean?
[10:16] Kon
    You're an arms dealer.
[10:18] Kon
    I bet you badly want to get your hands
    on Mraw's EX-ARM, right?
[10:23] Kim
    So what are you plotting? Answer us.
[10:27] Nguyen
    You want the EX-ARM as badly as I do.
[10:30] Nguyen
    Which makes you a business rival.
[10:32] Nguyen
    I have nothing to say to you.
[10:35] Nguyen
    Please leave.
[10:38] Kon
    I'm sure we'll be seeing
    each other again very soon.
[10:44] Nguyen
    It's me.
[10:49] A
    Man, this is one huge place.
[10:53] Al
    There's a room we can't analyze down here.
[10:56] A
    Gotcha.
[10:59] A
    Can't see a thing. Get the lights.
[11:07] Kim
    Screw Nguyen and his pompous ass!
[11:10] Kon
    He's definitely involved.
[11:13] Kon
    I'm worried about
    whatever weapon he sold Mraw.
[11:15] Mi
    Will Alma and Akira be okay?
[11:18] Kon
    Let's head to the mansion.
[11:22] Mi
    What's with these things?!
[11:24] Kon
    They're the UN's Hounds.
[11:26] Hound
    This is the UN military.
[11:28] Hound
    Put your weapons down immediately.
[11:31] Hound
    If you don't comply,
    you will be shot on the spot.
[11:35] Kim
    Neville!
[11:37] Nev
    I hate to tell you, but you're
    not getting anywhere near Mraw.
[11:40] Nev
    In this town, I am the law. Got that?
[11:43] Nev
    Turn your ass around,
    and get out of the SEZ!
[11:50] A
    What's with this room?
[11:56] Al
    It's likely that most of them are victims
    of the Mwange Genocide.
[12:03] Elm
    I didn't realize we had guests.
[12:07] A
    You're Elmira, right?
[12:10] Elm
    Indeed. And you are?
[12:12] A
    Japanese police!
[12:13] A
    Where is Mraw?
[12:16] Elm
    Master Mraw is busy at the moment.
[12:19] A
    What's all this, then?
[12:21] Elm
    Android face samples.
[12:24] A
    Why would you do this?
[12:25] Elm
    To make Mwange a truly
    beautiful, peaceful utopia.
[12:31] Elm
    I shall eliminate anyone
    who gets in Master Mraw's way.
[12:41] A
    It disappeared? Was that...
[12:43] Al
    This makes no sense.
    Only humans should be able to use EX-ARMs.
[12:52] Al
    Back off and let me handle this, Akira!
[13:05] A
    Hold up, Alma! What's the point
    of fighting between androids?
[13:09] Al
    It doesn't matter.
    We function only as programmed.
[13:23] A
    I'm sure Elmira would say the same, huh?
[13:26] A
    But I don't want to fight her.
[13:29] A
    If I can connect to her, I think I
    can confirm how she can use an EX-ARM.
[13:33] Al
    Got it.
[13:34] Al
    In that case...
[13:35] Elm
    Oh? Trying to connect to me, are we?
[14:05] Ch
    Akira! Alma!
[14:07] Ch
    Minami and the guys are in trouble!
    Back them up!
[14:10] A
    Shit! We were almost there!
[14:14] Elm
    Okay.
[14:16] Elm
    I understand.
[14:17] Elm
    Master Mraw, we must prepare to depart.
