    "Episode 6
    Rotten Repose"
[01:33] ---
    Okay, lift it up!
[01:56] ---
    Up! Up!
[03:00] ---
    There. Overhaul complete.
[03:04] ---
    I'm worn out.
[03:05] ---
    Now it's as good as new.
[03:09] ---
    But what about the paint job?
[03:13] ---
    True. It's not picturesque this way.
[03:19] ---
    I've already decided about that.
[03:34] ---
    Looks kind of weak.
[03:37] ---
    That's not true.
[03:39] ---
    They're the colors of the mech I used to pilot.
[03:42] ---
    Huh?
[03:43] ---
    I know this is arbitrary,
    but I'd like to call it Al the Second.
[03:46] ---
    What's up with that?
[03:53] ---
    Is that weird?
[04:02] ---
    The winner, Stick Man!
[04:08] ---
    It's our turn!
    Are final adjustments done?!
[04:11] ---
    Okay!
[04:14] ---
    Done!
[04:17] ---
    Be careful, Sousuke.
[04:24] ---
    Okay, Sousuke, it's up to you!
[04:27] ---
    No problem.
[04:43] ---
    Next bout, category: Melee Weapons.
[04:47] ---
    Crossbow!
[04:50] ---
    Operator, Sohsky Seagull!
[04:55] ---
    Vanguard!
[04:57] ---
    Operator, John C. Bogle!
[05:01] ---
    Fight!
[05:17] ---
    The winner, Crossbow!
[05:26] ---
    --Sousuke! Wow! Amazing!
    --Well done!
[05:27] ---
    --Sousuke! Wow! Amazing!
    --Awesome!
[05:30] ---
    You're the real deal!
[05:32] ---
    Mm-hm!
[05:34] ---
    But maybe the match was a little too short?
[05:37] ---
    What're you saying?
[05:38] ---
    He just needs to win!
[05:40] ---
    That's right. I just need to win.
[05:44] ---
    Right, right.
[05:46] ---
    It sure was quick.
[05:47] ---
    --You're really skilled. I mean, wow!
    --Hey, Sousuke, how are you so good at this?
[05:51] ---
    Fight!
[05:59] ---
    The winner, Crossbow!
[06:13] ---
    Fight!
[06:24] ---
    The winner, Crossbow!
[07:00] ---
    Go!
[07:12] ---
    The winner, Crossbow!
[07:17] ---
    He did it.
[07:19] ---
    He's won every time.
[07:21] ---
    Who the hell is this guy?
[07:23] ---
    Does it really matter?
    His strength is a huge help.
[07:30] ---
    You're knocking them dead out there.
[07:32] ---
    No, none of them died.
[07:34] ---
    Weirdo.
[07:35] ---
    I am?
[07:37] ---
    But seriously, you haven't
    even broken a sweat.
[07:43] ---
    My body must be used to it.
[07:46] ---
    "The AS is an extension of
    the trained soldier's body."
[07:51] ---
    Or so it was written. Is it true?
[07:53] ---
    What's up with that?
[07:55] ---
    I've been studying up lately.
[07:57] ---
    What you said is the motto of
    the SAS Assault Cavalry Team.
[08:01] ---
    What's the SAS?
[08:03] ---
    A British special forces unit.
[08:05] ---
    Don't tell me you were with them?
[08:07] ---
    No, but my superior officer was.
[08:14] ---
    What am I doing?
[08:16] ---
    What?
[08:17] ---
    No, never mind.
[08:20] ---
    Man, you are full of mysteries.
[08:28] ---
    What?
[08:30] ---
    It's like, I'm not sure why...
[08:34] ---
    ...but are you anxious about something?
[08:36] ---
    That's not...
[08:41] ---
    That might be true.
[08:42] ---
    Why?
[08:44] ---
    Because I feel comfortable here.
[08:46] ---
    It's baffling.
[08:48] ---
    Here, as in...?
[08:49] ---
    With you.
[08:52] ---
    I-I don't know what you mean.
[08:54] ---
    Why's it a problem that you're comfortable?
[09:04] ---
    Here, today's pay.
[09:07] ---
    That's a big help.
[09:08] ---
    Well, you kicked butt.
[09:15] ---
    Somebody's in love, no doubt about it.
[09:18] ---
    Who is? With whom?
[09:20] ---
    Isn't it obvious? Nami is, with you.
[09:23] ---
    Oh. That's only natural.
[09:26] ---
    Those are bold words, lad!
[09:28] ---
    My operator skills are extremely high,
    by this city's standards.
[09:33] ---
    Nami is a team owner.
    Of course she values me.
[09:38] ---
    --For real?
    --Jeez...
[09:39] ---
    No, that's not what I meant.
[09:42] ---
    As a girl, that is.
[09:45] ---
    She may not look it,
    but she's got strong morals.
[09:48] ---
    Lots of guys have made passes at her,
    but she turned them all down.
[09:51] ---
    That's right. Kaew, you were one of them.
[09:55] ---
    Damn it! Don't tell people that!
[09:57] ---
    Whenever she shows up and
    you're not here, she's sure to ask:
[10:01] ---
    "Where's Sousuke?"
[10:02] ---
    --She's all blunt!
    --Really blunt!
[10:03] ---
    So blunt it's suspicious.
[10:08] ---
    She doesn't ask about Lemon.
[10:12] ---
    What about you?
[10:13] ---
    What do you mean?
[10:14] ---
    I mean Nami.
[10:16] ---
    How do you feel about her?
[10:19] ---
    Chidori.
[10:20] ---
    --Huh?
    --Nothing.
[10:22] ---
    Things seem kinda serious.
[10:24] ---
    Did you leave a girl behind
    back home, or something?
[10:27] ---
    It's the reverse.
[10:29] ---
    What do you mean, the reverse?
[10:31] ---
    Whoops.
[10:32] ---
    Lunch break's over, guys.
    Now, back to work.
[10:37] ---
    You got it.
[10:38] ---
    Here, Sousuke.
[10:40] ---
    What's this?
[10:41] ---
    A shopping list.
    You and Lemon go buy this stuff.
[10:46] ---
    It's nearly all specialized AS parts.
[10:49] ---
    You can't get these at a regular shop.
[10:51] ---
    Oh? You haven't been to the market yet?
[10:55] ---
    Market?
[11:05] ---
    It's just like Akihabara.
[11:07] ---
    Isn't that Japan's Porn Town?
[11:10] ---
    No, Electric Town.
[11:12] ---
    Oh, okay.
[11:16] ---
    A BMD chip is $400?!
[11:19] ---
    Is that expensive?
[11:20] ---
    The opposite. They were $2,000 a year ago.
[11:23] ---
    Huh, then they've really dropped in price.
[11:27] ---
    Just goes to show how
    commonplace ASes have become.
[11:29] ---
    Even so, it's remarkable.
[11:32] ---
    It's hard to put into words,
[11:33] ---
    but the rate at which
    they're spreading is strange.
[11:37] ---
    Or maybe I'm overthinking this.
[11:39] ---
    Maybe.
[11:41] ---
    That's rude.
[11:42] ---
    Yeah, well.
[11:44] ---
    I am still something of an artist.
[11:46] ---
    Artist...
[11:48] ---
    That's why I'm curious. About your art.
[11:52] ---
    I mean the way you fight.
[11:55] ---
    It doesn't feel like skill. It's art.
[11:59] ---
    Art...
[12:00] ---
    This is what comes to mind
    when I watch your matches.
[12:02] ---
    You're not simply fighting to earn a living.
[12:07] ---
    You're fighting for something bigger...
[12:09] ---
    Some goal, off in the distance.
[12:12] ---
    I'm a layman when it comes to ASes,
    but I just get that kind of feeling.
[12:17] ---
    How about it?
[12:18] ---
    I'm not sure. But...
[12:20] ---
    But?
[12:21] ---
    When it comes to ways of
    expressing myself well, this is all I have.
[12:25] ---
    Combat?
[12:26] ---
    That's right.
[12:28] ---
    I wish I had some talent like
    photography, or music, or drawing.
[12:33] ---
    But unfortunately, this is all I've got.
[12:37] ---
    Don't sell yourself short.
[12:39] ---
    You might be surprised to find
    you have some other talent.
[12:41] ---
    For instance...
[12:43] ---
    For instance?
[12:46] ---
    Like being a ladies' man.
[12:48] ---
    What the heck?
[12:51] ---
    Don't move!
[12:54] ---
    Get down on your knees! Slowly!
[12:57] ---
    Uh, officer?
[12:59] ---
    I-I think this is probably some mis--
[13:01] ---
    Quickly!
[13:02] ---
    Wh-Which is it, quickly or slowly?
[13:06] ---
    Ow!
[13:15] ---
    We got a report that two
    young foreigners were stealing.
[13:22] ---
    It was based on reliable information.
[13:24] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?!
[13:27] ---
    You pretended not to know anything
    when that Rick guy got killed!
[13:30] ---
    Lemon! Cut it out!
[13:31] ---
    You've got to be kidding!
    This is a human rights violation!
[13:34] ---
    I want a lawyer immedi--
[13:36] ---
    You should shut up, foreigner.
[13:38] ---
    And who are you?
[13:40] ---
    The police chief.
    That's all you need to know.
[13:44] ---
    Good, that's easy to remember.
[13:44] ---
    You've got guts.
[13:49] ---
    But if you cop an insolent attitude
    with me in this city...
[13:55] ---
    ...you'll wish you hadn't, Sousuke Sagara.
[14:12] ---
    You! Get out here!
[14:14] ---
    Sousuke!
[14:15] ---
    Don't worry.
[14:22] ---
    A tooth?
[14:25] ---
    Robbery, assault, attempted
    murder, extortion, perjury,
[14:30] ---
    illegal immigration,
    obstruction of police duties,
[14:34] ---
    possession and use of an illegal weapon.
[14:39] ---
    Do you have any other requests?
[14:42] ---
    What are you talking about?
[14:43] ---
    Your list of charges.
[14:45] ---
    How about assaulting a police chief?
    I'll do that one right now.
[14:53] ---
    You don't seem to get it.
[14:55] ---
    This isn't just an interrogation room.
[14:59] ---
    It's also a courtroom.
[15:01] ---
    I'm both the prosecutor and the judge.
    And the executor, too.
[15:06] ---
    You must be quite understaffed.
[15:09] ---
    What do you want? Did you come here
    just to tell me my prison term?
[15:14] ---
    You're sharp. As you guessed,
    this is about the arena.
[15:18] ---
    You're on a winning streak, aren't you?
[15:20] ---
    What about it?
[15:22] ---
    You guys are winning too much.
[15:25] ---
    Many businessmen are involved
    with that competition.
[15:28] ---
    There's a lot, a lot, of money in it.
[15:32] ---
    So there's a certain...
    Yes, there's a system.
[15:36] ---
    You're saying I'm winning too much,
    and some people are losing money?
[15:39] ---
    You're sharp. Really sharp!
[15:43] ---
    So now you get it, right?
    You're going to take part in our system.
[15:48] ---
    In other words, rigged matches.
[15:51] ---
    Who knows? But as things stand,
    you're looking at 50 years in jail.
[15:55] ---
    Fifty years would be a problem. I'll cooperate.
[15:59] ---
    Good.
[16:00] ---
    But I also want a location
    where I can go all out.
[16:03] ---
    What?!
[16:04] ---
    Not like that arena.
[16:05] ---
    Fighting for my life, with far more
    money in play. That kind of place.
[16:12] ---
    Where'd you hear that?
[16:14] ---
    It's how things work in this field.
[16:16] ---
    Do you know the details involved?
[16:18] ---
    Of course. They're illegal battles
    for VIPs to watch.
[16:21] ---
    Using firearms loaded with live ammo.
[16:24] ---
    I heard it's a life-or-death combat spectacle,
    on the city's outskirts.
[16:28] ---
    I also hear the payout is way higher.
[16:31] ---
    Half of those who compete are dead
    within a matter of months.
[16:35] ---
    Are you also aware of that?
[16:37] ---
    That sounds about right.
[16:43] ---
    Should I ask what your motive is?
[16:45] ---
    Money.
[16:46] ---
    Anything else?
[16:47] ---
    I'm out for blood.
[16:51] ---
    Fine, then. I'll talk to the right people.
[16:54] ---
    But until it's all done,
    I'm gonna keep your friend in custody.
[17:08] ---
    Sousuke!
[17:10] ---
    What's going on? Where's Lemon?
[17:14] ---
    Still in jail. I talked to
    the police chief and got released.
[17:18] ---
    The chief. You mean that scoundrel?
[17:22] ---
    I'll tell you later. Let's go.
[17:26] ---
    Rigged matches. That figures.
[17:29] ---
    You're not angry?
[17:31] ---
    Not really. I'd heard rumors about it,
    and you'd have to be an idiot
[17:35] ---
    to expect sportsmanship
    in a city like this, right?
[17:39] ---
    But isn't it weird that he
    released you so readily?
[17:41] ---
    I demanded a certain condition.
[17:43] ---
    Condition?
[17:45] ---
    Illegal battles.
[17:46] ---
    Illegal battles?!
[17:47] ---
    Do you realize what you're getting into?
[17:50] ---
    Real fighting, with live ammo.
[17:51] ---
    Serious mortal combat.
    The money's good, too.
[17:54] ---
    You'd use that machine of mine
    for a death match?!
[17:58] ---
    Get real! Those battles are
    the absolute last option
[18:02] ---
    for some idiot who's deep in debt!
[18:05] ---
    We're not like that!
    We're nearly up to Class A!
[18:08] ---
    Are you insane?!
[18:10] ---
    Explain why you're doing this!
[18:12] ---
    Well...
[18:15] ---
    You can't tell me?
[18:17] ---
    Look, I thought we were
    at least friends at this point.
[18:23] ---
    Was I wrong?
[18:24] ---
    I don't want to die not knowing anything.
[18:33] ---
    Nami.
[18:34] ---
    You're right. Thank you. I'll explain.
[18:39] ---
    Have a seat.
[18:44] ---
    My objective was
    the illegal battles from the start.
[18:47] ---
    To get closer to the dark side of the operation,
[18:50] ---
    I needed to keep winning the public battles.
[18:53] ---
    Y-Yeah, but what for?
[18:55] ---
    Because apparently, Amalgam is
    involved with the illegal battles.
[18:59] ---
    Amalgam...?
[19:01] ---
    It's the name of an organization.
[19:03] ---
    They plan and stage conflicts
    all around the world.
[19:07] ---
    They've played a role in
    the serious terrorist incidents
[19:09] ---
    that occurred over the past several years.
[19:12] ---
    H-Hold on...
[19:14] ---
    There's a top-secret mercenary force
    that was fighting against Amalgam.
[19:18] ---
    I'm a survivor of that force.
[19:20] ---
    Survivor?
[19:22] ---
    What happened to it, then?
[19:25] ---
    It was wiped out by Amalgam.
    Three months ago.
[19:29] ---
    No way...
[19:31] ---
    Amalgam is an organization
    hidden in the shadows.
[19:34] ---
    On my own, it's hard to even contact them.
[19:37] ---
    The few clues I have are this city
    and the illegal battles.
[19:41] ---
    We've defeated Amalgam ASes
    several times in the past.
[19:45] ---
    We recovered the bodies of
    the operators and identified them.
[19:48] ---
    Several of them had been competitors here.
[19:51] ---
    At this arena?
[19:53] ---
    Of that much I'm sure.
[19:55] ---
    But my group was destroyed
    before we could investigate further.
[19:59] ---
    Are you for real?
[20:01] ---
    Affirmative.
[20:02] ---
    Well, I did think your skills
    were extraordinary.
[20:06] ---
    In that case, aren't those guys
    total bad news?
[20:10] ---
    That's right. I want to get close to Amalgam.
[20:15] ---
    For that, I need your cooperation.
[20:21] ---
    Screw that!
[20:23] ---
    Na--
[20:25] ---
    Go make war by yourself!
[20:27] ---
    It has nothing to do with me!
[20:31] ---
    Wait! Listen to me!
[20:33] ---
    You're fired! Never show
    your face around here again.
[20:41] ---
    Well, that figures.
[21:20] ---
    Nami!
[21:21] ---
    What're you doing?
[21:24] ---
    Being careful.
[21:27] ---
    There's something I at least want to ask you.
[21:30] ---
    What?
[21:31] ---
    You're in a bind, aren't you?
[21:33] ---
    Yeah.
[21:34] ---
    You need my help?
[21:36] ---
    Affirmative.
[21:39] ---
    All right. I'll go along with this for a bit.
[21:44] ---
    You're sure?
[21:45] ---
    Lemon's in prison, and all.
    And the fight money's good, right?
[21:50] ---
    Well, yes.
[21:51] ---
    Just don't expect too much.
[21:54] ---
    I don't know if Asch and the others
    will go along with it.
[21:58] ---
    If they all say no, then it's no.
[22:00] ---
    Understood.
[22:02] ---
    He doesn't seem to be making a run for it.
[22:04] ---
    Apparently, he's serious
    about the illegal battles.
[22:07] ---
    I bet he is.
[22:08] ---
    Keep an eye on him, though.
[22:10] ---
    Yes, sir.
[22:14] ---
    It's me.
[22:16] ---
    P-Pardon me, sir!
[22:19] ---
    N-No, I would never dream of...
[22:22] ---
    Yes, sir. He'll never get away.
[22:26] ---
    So please, rest assured.
[22:28] ---
    Rest assured? I can't do that.
[22:31] ---
    You'd best take Sousuke Sagara seriously.
[22:35] ---
    I am fully aware of that, Mr. Kurama.
[22:39] ---
    Are you now?
[22:40] ---
    Yes, sir! You have--
[22:44] ---
    I just knew he'd come find us.
