    "Anchorage, Alaska"
[00:24] ---
    I'm finished.
[00:31] ---
    Mira, can you converse with it?
[00:33] ---
    I'll try it now.
[00:40] ---
    "Escape immediately."
[00:43] ---
    "Thanks, Sergeant"?
[00:46] ---
    It's output from him.
[00:48] ---
    It must be a conversation from
    when the Arbalest was destroyed.
[00:56] ---
    What's this?
[00:57] ---
    He's... probably confused.
    I'll try talking to him.
[01:09] ---
    Report the situation?
[01:12] ---
    Good grief. How much trouble
    does it think we've gone to thus far?
[01:19] ---
    Oh, it's just that it's exactly like its master.
[02:55] ---

    "Episode 9
    The Fallen Witch"
[03:21] ---
    Nice to meet you.
    I'm Doctor Witt, a psychiatrist.
[03:25] ---
    I'd like to talk to you.
[03:30] ---
    May I ask you your name?
[03:34] ---
    I hear you were walking alone on the
    freeway in the middle of the night, barefoot.
[03:38] ---
    Wasn't it cold out there?
[03:43] ---
    Where did you plan to go?
[03:45] ---
    Home? To a friend's place?
[03:50] ---
    Is there something you'd rather not recall?
[03:56] ---
    Oh, you don't need to force yourself.
[03:59] ---
    Just say what you can.
[04:04] ---
    But could you tell me, if you don't mind?
[04:07] ---
    What were you doing there?
[04:22] ---
    I was abandoned.
[04:24] ---
    Abandoned? By whom?
[04:28] ---
    By people I thought were my subordinates.
[04:39] ---
    I was a commander in
    a top-secret counterterrorist
[04:41] ---
    military organization called Mithril.
[04:45] ---
    The latest model Arm Slaves
    and an amphibious assault submarine.
[04:50] ---
    We made use of an array of weapons
[04:52] ---
    to successfully carry out
    numerous difficult operations.
[04:56] ---
    But that's... all in the past.
[04:59] ---
    In the past?
[05:01] ---
    There was a major enemy offensive
    launched against my base.
[05:05] ---
    Enemy?
[05:07] ---
    An organization called Amalgam.
    My forces suffered devastating losses,
[05:12] ---
    but we were able to escape
    the base in the submarine.
[05:17] ---
    But...
[05:19] ---
    Are you all right?
[05:21] ---
    Yes.
[05:23] ---
    Let's see...
[05:24] ---
    You escaped from that Amalgam
    organization in the submarine?
[05:30] ---
    Yes.
[05:32] ---
    However, supplies were running low,
    and there are no operational funds.
[05:37] ---
    I couldn't even pay my
    surviving subordinates their wages.
[05:42] ---
    There was a mutiny aboard the ship.
[05:45] ---
    A mutiny, you say?
[05:47] ---
    Yes. I executed the ringleader...
[05:53] ---
    She says after that,
    her submarine had a fatal accident.
[05:58] ---
    She escaped by helicopter as
    the ship sank off the California coast.
[06:02] ---
    Apparently, by the time they reached this city,
    there were only five people left.
[06:08] ---
    And yet, she still behaved
    like an arrogant superior.
[06:12] ---
    Her final subordinates apparently
    reached the end of their patience.
[06:16] ---
    They ultimately gave up on her
    and dumped her on the street.
[06:23] ---
    It's coherent, for a delusion.
[06:28] ---
    But there's no way.
[06:31] ---
    You're going to be transferred
    to another facility.
[06:34] ---
    There you'll live with people
    who have issues similar to yours.
[06:41] ---
    Are you listening?
[06:43] ---
    Doctor.
[06:44] ---
    You think I'm some poor girl
    who's lost in a delusion, don't you?
[06:50] ---
    No, I...
[06:52] ---
    It's fine if you do.
[06:54] ---
    I was an incompetent commander.
    All I am now is an empty shell.
[07:00] ---
    Let's get her ready.
[07:12] ---
    Thanks. Is she known to hurt herself or others?
[07:15] ---
    No. Isn't that written right there?
[07:17] ---
    Did she say anything strange?
[07:20] ---
    Like, about Amalgam or Mithril?
[07:22] ---
    Huh?
[07:24] ---
    She did, didn't she?
[07:26] ---
    I-I'm not sure. Well, if you'll excuse me.
[07:35] ---
    Get in the car. Cause any trouble,
    and you're dead.
[07:43] ---
    You, too, nurse.
[08:13] ---
    Miss Testarossa.
[08:15] ---
    I am Lee Fowler. I serve your brother.
[08:20] ---
    I heard you had no place
    left to go, so I came to get you.
[08:29] ---
    She's an empty shell.
    I can't believe this was Mithril's Witch.
[08:36] ---
    How tragic.
[08:38] ---
    Pardon me, Doctor.
[08:40] ---
    Did you tell anyone else
    about the things she said?
[08:43] ---
    Huh?
[08:44] ---
    I mean Amalgam, or the names
    of any other unfamiliar organizations.
[08:48] ---
    Did you tell anyone about those?
[08:49] ---
    No, I haven't!
[08:51] ---
    A-And I'll keep it secret from here on, so...!
[08:55] ---
    Let us believe you.
[08:58] ---
    However, there are ways of
    drawing information out of you,
[09:03] ---
    regardless of your noble resolve.
[09:06] ---
    Using modern medicine, if you get my meaning?
[09:09] ---
    No...! What are you saying?!
[09:12] ---
    It's a shame, Doctor.
[09:15] ---
    Wait! Please, spare me!
[09:19] ---
    Wow, spare me the theatrical buildup.
[09:23] ---
    Just when I thought we finally had a lead,
    some pompous creep shows up.
[09:30] ---
    Y-You...
[09:34] ---
    Don't you agree, Tessa?
[09:41] ---
    That was impolite, Melissa.
[09:54] ---
    I see, so I was your target.
[09:57] ---
    Yes. Now, throw aside your weapons.
[10:00] ---
    Otherwise, we'll teach you a harsh lesson.
[10:03] ---
    Lesson?
[10:05] ---
    That's enough comedy out of you, girly!
[10:10] ---
    Well done. Right in the center.
[10:14] ---
    If need be, go ahead and fire away!
[10:17] ---
    Sure thing. Uruz 6, roger!
[10:21] ---
    Masterfully done.
[10:23] ---
    Surrender!
[10:25] ---
    We approached this cautiously, too.
[10:28] ---
    But look how far you went!
[10:32] ---
    What tragedy? What empty shell?
[10:36] ---
    You are indeed still Mithril's Witch!
[10:39] ---
    Perhaps you had the wrong idea?
[10:42] ---
    I never once meant to signal to
    Amalgam that I was surrendering.
[10:48] ---
    So it would seem.
[10:50] ---
    However!
[11:14] ---
    Don't move!
[11:20] ---
    Give up, pretty boy!
[11:22] ---
    Give up? How about you stop joking?
[11:36] ---
    Fall back! Fall back!
[11:41] ---
    I knew it.
[11:42] ---
    Wh-What do you mean?
[11:44] ---
    I mean this.
[11:45] ---
    Uruz 1! Exterminate the enemy!
[11:48] ---
    Roger that, Captain.
[12:00] ---
    Just keep this up...
[12:19] ---
    Lambda Driver, huh?
[12:21] ---
    But we can read those now!
[12:30] ---
    Uruz 1 to Tuatha de Danaan!
    Send me that delivery!
[12:34] ---
    This is the Tuatha de Danaan.
    We're launching it now.
[12:48] ---
    The cruise missile is set to inertial guidance.
[12:51] ---
    ETA, 30 seconds.
[12:54] ---
    We'll yield terminal guidance to you, Uruz 1.
[12:57] ---
    Uruz 1, roger!
[12:59] ---
    Code confirmed. Terminal guidance
    has been handed over.
[13:03] ---
    Activate the warhead.
[13:04] ---
    Roger.
[13:07] ---
    Now, come on!
[13:33] ---
    That didn't work. But...!
[13:50] ---
    Your back's wide open!
[14:06] ---
    Uruz 1 to all units.
[14:09] ---
    I defeated the enemy AS.
[14:11] ---
    Tessa. Ben beat the enemy mech.
[14:14] ---
    Yes, and what of Fowler?
[14:16] ---
    He got away. Sorry.
[14:18] ---
    It's all right. This operation was just
    a way of saying hello, anyway.
[14:22] ---
    Besides, it was half a failure
    the moment a civilian got this involved.
[14:36] ---
    Be careful, it might be a trap!
[14:39] ---
    It's all right.
[14:41] ---
    Mr. Fowler?
[14:43] ---
    First, allow me to say bravo.
[14:46] ---
    You wiped out both my men and my AS.
[14:49] ---
    I was utterly defeated.
[14:51] ---
    Oh, really? As you're aware,
    you're still a free man.
[14:55] ---
    It was a close call.
[14:57] ---
    I meant to restrain you, and have you
    tell me everything you know.
[15:02] ---
    Even if it meant using measures that would
    permanently wipe that smirk off your face.
[15:07] ---
    You say dreadful things
    with that lovely voice.
[15:10] ---
    Do you seriously intend
    to keep fighting us this way?
[15:15] ---
    You must be well aware of our war potential.
[15:17] ---
    Yes, painfully aware.
[15:20] ---
    Yet you don't lose your fighting spirit.
[15:23] ---
    I would very much love to know the reason.
[15:26] ---
    Mr. Fowler. Since we have
    this chance, may I be frank?
[15:30] ---
    Feel free.
[15:31] ---
    To put it simply...
[15:33] ---
    ...I absolutely hate smart-ass wannabe
    pieces of shit like you guys!
[15:39] ---
    Now do you understand?!
[15:42] ---
    --Uh...
    --That's all, mister messenger boy!
[15:46] ---
    Go and tell Leonard Testarossa
    the same thing!
[15:54] ---
    There's no need to tarry here!
    Withdraw immediately!
[16:00] ---
    What?
[16:01] ---
    Wow, I mean...
[16:03] ---
    You actually said "pieces of shit."
[16:06] ---
    You've really got some balls, you.
[16:12] ---
    No! I just, uh, lost my temper and...!
[16:16] ---
    This is Uruz 1.
[16:17] ---
    Please hurry. The police and
    firefighters will be here soon.
[16:22] ---
    Doctor.
[16:24] ---
    Don't kill me!
[16:25] ---
    There's no need to worry.
[16:27] ---
    Their attempt to kill you
    was a bluff aimed at us.
[16:33] ---
    Bluff?
[16:35] ---
    You're safe now.
[16:37] ---
    I'm sorry, though.
[16:38] ---
    I tricked you, and wound up
    exposing you to danger.
[16:44] ---
    Goodbye.
[16:51] ---
    "State of Michoacán, Mexico"
[16:54] ---
    I apologize, Master Leonard.
[16:57] ---
    No, it's all right.
[16:59] ---
    Let's leave her be for a while.
[17:02] ---
    As you wish.
[17:03] ---
    Also, I was given a message.
[17:07] ---
    The language is a bit coarse, though...
[17:12] ---
    Go on, tell me.
[17:17] ---
    My, that's quite high-spirited.
[17:20] ---
    Pardon the rudeness.
[17:21] ---
    Oh, but it's good that she has spirit.
[17:29] ---
    Our cook doesn't know what to do.
[17:31] ---
    I'm told you insist on preparing your own food.
[17:34] ---
    I want some fried rice in an omelet.
[17:39] ---
    But the ingredients are different.
[17:41] ---
    Looks like I won't be recreating
    the flavor I used to make in Japan.
[17:44] ---
    You'll forget it eventually.
[17:46] ---
    Forget? The flavor of omelet rice?
[17:49] ---
    I forgot about the cooking I ate long ago.
[17:53] ---
    And the face of my mother, who made it.
[17:56] ---
    That's heartless.
[17:58] ---
    That's the way time is.
[18:02] ---
    So you're saying eventually,
    I'll come to love you?
[18:05] ---
    I didn't say that much.
[18:08] ---
    You can never defy destiny.
[18:10] ---
    There's a different kind of salvation
    that comes from accepting that.
[18:15] ---
    Maybe.
[18:17] ---
    But I'm not about to forget
    the taste of my mother's cooking.
[18:21] ---
    And you.
[18:23] ---
    Did you really forget?
[18:27] ---
    That's right. I did.
[18:30] ---
    I see.
[18:31] ---
    What are you standing there for?
    I didn't make any for you.
[18:35] ---
    That's too bad.
[18:43] ---
    Sabina?
[18:44] ---
    Yes, Master Leonard.
[18:46] ---
    We received word from
    our plant in French intelligence.
[18:49] ---
    It seems he's still alive.
[18:51] ---
    You must mean him.
[18:54] ---
    Yes. Sousuke Sagara.
[19:11] ---
    Finally awake, huh?
[19:13] ---
    "Polynesia"
[19:21] ---
    Drink it slowly. Just a little.
[19:28] ---
    What's the situation...?
[19:30] ---
    Situation?
[19:31] ---
    The situation, huh...
[19:37] ---
    All right, I'll tell you.
[19:39] ---
    Fifty-six days have passed since Nami died.
[19:42] ---
    Today is May 20th.
[19:45] ---
    Where's this...?
[19:46] ---
    A corner of Polynesia on a solitary island.
[19:50] ---
    It's 15,000km away from Namsac.
[19:56] ---
    There weren't many places I could
    hide you on the brink of death.
[19:59] ---
    So here we are, on the other side of the Earth.
[20:03] ---
    After a long surgery,
    you nearly died multiple times.
[20:07] ---
    I think you'll have some aftereffects.
[20:24] ---
    The truth is, I smoke.
[20:27] ---
    After your condition stabilized,
    I went to bury Nami at her old village.
[20:33] ---
    I walked a little ways from
    the grave and had a smoke.
[20:37] ---
    Then I broke down and cried.
    About a decade's worth of tears.
[20:40] ---
    I guess I must have been in love with her.
[20:44] ---
    I don't blame you personally.
    It's common in this line of work.
[20:48] ---
    Well, someday...
[20:51] ---
    Someday, we'll both have to pay the price.
[20:56] ---
    Now, down to business.
    I want you to answer some questions.
[21:00] ---
    Depends on the content.
[21:01] ---
    It's not like I saved you
    just out of friendship and goodwill.
[21:05] ---
    The French government likewise
    wants information on Amalgam.
[21:10] ---
    And if I don't comply, it's torture?
[21:13] ---
    In your emaciated state?
[21:16] ---
    Then all the effort of keeping
    you alive would go to waste.
[21:25] ---
    What's up?
[21:30] ---
    All right. I'll be right there.
[21:32] ---
    What... happened?
[21:35] ---
    Enemies, it seems.
[21:36] ---
    Stay there and rest.
[21:44] ---
    I smell blood.
