[03:14] ---
We have a follow-up report
from live at the scene
[03:17] ---
of today's armed occupation of the East Asian
Economic Federation's Far East trade embassy.
[03:22] ---
You're the ideal person
for the job, Major Kusanagi.
[03:26] ---
Thank you, Special Advisor Fujimoto.
[03:32] ---
Our victory is close at hand, Lt. Col. Kurutsu.
[03:35] ---
I agree, Ambassador Wong.
[03:42] ---
Our interview is just a formality.
[03:46] ---
These days Als and administrators
do the deliberations.
[03:50] ---
Won't this conversation affect the outcome?
[03:53] ---
Humans need not be daunted by machines.
[03:58] ---
Your unit aligns perfectly with
a critical governmental problem.
[04:11] ---
When the war ended,
the world entered an era of change.
[04:16] ---
This country is no exception.
[04:22] ---
The war accelerated cyberbrain
and prosthetic development.
[04:26] ---
The cybercrimes resulting
from that process are serious,
[04:30] ---
but the real problem is more fundamental.
[04:36] ---
The cyberbrain and prosthetics businesses
[04:38] ---
spawned the largest
profit-seeking system in history.
[04:43] ---
The massive amount of data
now shared in real time
[04:45] ---
has gone beyond what
any country can manage.
[04:53] ---
Even assuming that conglomerates will
eliminate all nations and races one day,
[04:58] ---
the state's role isn't over yet.
[05:02] ---
Yes. The anarchical system
calling itself the "global economy"
[05:08] ---
will destroy any private financial security,
which is the foundation of the state.
[05:13] ---
Fall back!
[05:28] ---
Cyberbrains and prosthetics are the bridge
[05:30] ---
connecting the systems of munitions
industry and household economics.
[05:35] ---
Government regulations are
meaningless at this point.
[05:41] ---
While no executive organ exists
which can truly contain the system,
[05:45] ---
that doesn't mean it transcends
laws established by the state.
[05:50] ---
Systems which break the law
must be taken care of directly.
[05:59] ---
Informatization forces us to choose
between becoming the system
[06:02] ---
and subordinating ourselves to it.
[06:05] ---
What we need now...
[06:07] ---
...is an executive organ to offensively
pass judgment on the system.
[06:12] ---
...is a network to integrate with the system
and sort people appropriately.
[06:22] ---
We recognize you and your organization
[06:25] ---
as an enterprise we should welcome,
Lt. Col. Kurutsu.
[06:30] ---
Anti-terror activities under
direct governmental authority.
[06:33] ---
State-of-the-art cyber investigation. The power
to bring charges for corporate crimes.
[06:37] ---
Nothing is taboo for your unit.
[06:41] ---
You done yet, Major?
[06:42] ---
In a few minutes. What's the sitrep?
[06:46] ---
One hour into the raid, it's a circus over here.
[06:52] ---
Dammit! It's Ape-Face from
Public Security Section 9.
[06:58] ---
Isn't Chief Aramaki the one that requested us?
[07:02] ---
He wants us working for him.
[07:05] ---
That doesn't suit our separatist leader.
[07:08] ---
The ape's assumed authority.
[07:11] ---
What now, Major? Want me
to break into Section 9's Net?
[07:14] ---
I'll negotiate. Just wait for me.
[07:22] ---
The Prime Minister would like to
see this incident resolved promptly.
[07:27] ---
And you've just been given
the authority to do it.
[07:33] ---
Thank you, sir.
[07:41] ---
Do you like this country?
[07:44] ---
Enough to exert my full abilities, at least.
[07:49] ---
The country should work
to earn your love, then.
[07:54] ---
I'll begin immediately.
[07:59] ---
Oh, and...
[08:01] ---
Sir?
[08:05] ---
Your smile is too perfect.
[08:08] ---
You don't need to devote so much
of your prosthetic memory to it.
[08:12] ---
I've never given a programmed smile, sir.
[08:18] ---
I have no intention of questioning
your soul--your Ghost.
[08:25] ---
I'm heading to the scene.
[08:37] ---
Good luck.
[08:44] ---
Ishikawa, information.
[08:46] ---
I see a report from federal council
session 320 approving the budget.
[08:51] ---
Nice work, Major.
[08:56] ---
Get in my lobby. We're taking this case.
[09:23] ---
Kusanagi. I didn't expect to see you here.
[09:28] ---
Did you come to wag your tail
for our antiquated government?
[09:31] ---
And you? Going to become a corporate
profit-seeking machine, Kurutsu?
[09:37] ---
Most of the military is going to be privatized.
[09:40] ---
This is a war. Side with the losers,
and you have no future.
[09:44] ---
The war is over. I won't let them
put a serial number on my Ghost, too.
[09:52] ---
Everyone is replaceable and expendable.
[09:56] ---
We'll soon find out which of us
is the disposable one.
[10:25] ---
ETA seven minutes. I assume you have my info.
[10:47] ---
Eleven soldiers who opposed downgrading
Defense from "Ministry" to "Agency"
[10:51] ---
have occupied the East Asian Economic
Federation's Far East trade embassy.
[10:56] ---
Here are their current positions,
backgrounds, and affiliations.
[11:02] ---
Um...
[11:04] ---
All eleven are prosthetized, and two of 'em
have heavy-class converted prosthetics.
[11:10] ---
Nothing the riot police oughta fool with.
[11:16] ---
Out of 42 hostages, 36 are confined
in the hall with the bombs.
[11:21] ---
The others are higher-ups who
escaped into the panic room.
[11:24] ---
They're probably the real targets.
[11:27] ---
If that door opens, we're screwed.
[11:29] ---
They'll either hole up in there for a year
or start staging public executions.
[11:34] ---
What are their demands?
[11:36] ---
They want the government to keep
the Ministry and suspend military trials.
[11:39] ---
They didn't ask for their own escape.
[11:41] ---
They just want their own little battlefield.
[11:46] ---
Execute domination on my signal.
We're going in.
[11:49] ---
Wait, just the seven of us?!
[11:51] ---
We have a sniper, cyberbrain hacking
for support, and Logicomas for shields.
[11:55] ---
The riot police at the perimeter
will keep enemy reinforcements away.
[11:58] ---
You need anything else?
[12:00] ---
Seriously?
[12:02] ---
Guess the rookie can't do anything
without a textbook and a necktie.
[12:07] ---
It must be rough, being the
only one with a natural body.
[12:09] ---
Why not take this chance to go full cyborg?
[12:12] ---
If you die, I'll call your pretty wife for you.
[12:16] ---
I can at least collect your last words
before your cyberbrain's blown away.
[12:21] ---
Call me if you want someone
to make your death painless.
[12:26] ---
Screw you jerks!
Fine, I'll do it and show you all!
[12:31] ---
You're top-notch parts I collected.
[12:35] ---
If you can't perform anymore, I'll purge you.
[12:39] ---
But most of you would wind up
in jail or shot in the back
[12:45] ---
if you weren't on my squad.
[12:48] ---
Don't forget that.
[12:50] ---
Get in position and prepare to go in.
[12:55] ---
She's calling us machine parts now?
[12:58] ---
Our unworldly princess probably
meant that as a pep talk.
[13:03] ---
That's demonic.
[13:04] ---
Damn gorilla.
[13:06] ---
She's a cruel woman.
[13:08] ---
It just means she trusts us.
[13:11] ---
Dammit, I seriously might get killed.
[13:16] ---
We need more personnel to storm them!
[13:19] ---
Where's Special Forces?
Where are the Rangers?!
[13:23] ---
Everyone refused to come.
[13:24] ---
They don't want to shoot their own people
to save some foreign war merchants.
[13:29] ---
Tell them to help these guys by stopping
them from committing more crimes!
[13:33] ---
Any squads associated with them
will be charged with conspiracy!
[13:37] ---
Pull out the negotiators, Chief.
[13:40] ---
You're finally here, Major?
[13:42] ---
Sorry, but you'll need to stand down.
[13:45] ---
Oh, so that suspicious squad budget
the council just passed was yours?
[13:51] ---
It's not like you to rely on politicians.
[13:54] ---
I saved myself some hassle
by negotiating with the top.
[13:59] ---
"Directly under the Prime Minister"
only means something on paper.
[14:02] ---
I recommend a squad that
follows international law.
[14:06] ---
A "shell squad within the international
rescue team," I think you said?
[14:12] ---
We'd already have one if it weren't for the war.
[14:15] ---
It would nip crimes in the bud, and stop
incidents like this before they happened.
[14:21] ---
Nice thought, but I'll take this
case over your fantasy squad.
[14:26] ---
When are you going in?
[14:28] ---
In 20 seconds.
[14:29] ---
We'll try not to kill anyone, so you'll
have something to do afterward.
[14:37] ---
She's like a kid with a new toy.
[15:01] ---
Dominate now.
[15:09] ---
Our comm lines just got dominated!
[15:11] ---
I like a good opponent. Bring it on!
[15:26] ---
My sights... She's infiltrated my vision!
[16:25] ---
Hey, what's wrong?
[16:47] ---
Hello!
[16:52] ---
Bastards!
[17:00] ---
Logicomas, protect the hostages.
[17:02] ---
Order acknowledged!
[17:12] ---
Are you my prey?
[17:17] ---
Move it! Don't turn over the hostages!
[17:19] ---
Do whatever it takes to buy time!
[17:21] ---
Hello.
[17:40] ---
See? I contribute.
[17:45] ---
Go down, dammit!
[18:01] ---
Where are you aiming? Don't kill them!
[18:07] ---
Don't monitor my vision all the time!
[18:09] ---
Break your kill shot habit. The war is over.
[18:12] ---
All these guys are still fighting it.
[18:21] ---
Die!
[18:30] ---
Bummer for you.
[18:35] ---
Guess your conversion was all about might.
[18:38] ---
I bet when you went full cyborg
after almost dying on the battlefield,
[18:41] ---
you thought you'd become your best self.
[18:50] ---
I did, too.
[19:00] ---
All done here, Major.
[19:03] ---
How's the panic room?
[19:05] ---
The door's fine. Two men on the move.
[19:08] ---
Batou and I will box them in.
[19:10] ---
Free the hostages and put everyone
you've captured in the hall.
[19:17] ---
Should we go in, too?
[19:19] ---
You like playing the clown?
[19:22] ---
As long as we beat the central authorities
to inspecting the scene, we're fine.
[19:27] ---
Seven people stealing the perps
we used 200 to surround...
[19:32] ---
Now that's entertainment.
[19:39] ---
"A Stalemate at the Occupied Embassy"
[19:43] ---
He's all right, Mr. Prime Minister.
[19:48] ---
I'll issue a directive.
[19:59] ---
Batou?
[20:00] ---
Major? Where's the enemy?
[20:09] ---
Ishikawa, what's going on?
[20:11] ---
I was jammed for a second.
There's a twelfth person on the property.
[20:15] ---
A twelfth? Find them!
[20:20] ---
Look.
[20:40] ---
Friendly fire?
[21:00] ---
Come on, everyone outside!
[21:06] ---
Something's off. We're one person short.
[21:09] ---
There's been some noise on the comm line...
[21:23] ---
Hey, don't touch those!
[21:36] ---
The hostages' cyberbrains are
contaminated! This pattern is...
[21:40] ---
The false memory virus.
[21:42] ---
It's Fire-Starter! Give them the virtual vaccine!
[21:46] ---
I thought they were ghost locked!
Why can they move?!
[21:52] ---
I found the twelfth perp!
[21:54] ---
They're the host for the packaged virus.
Destroy their cyberbrain!
[22:00] ---
It's been a while since I got permission to kill.
[22:34] ---
Mr. Prime Minister, wait!
[22:50] ---
My ear!
[22:52] ---
That was a flesh part! I'll kill that bastard!
[23:06] ---
This is horrible...
[23:13] ---
A false cyberbrain... This is just a
remote-control doll with no Ghost!
[23:19] ---
Where's the twelfth perp?
[23:20] ---
I lost track. I'm searching now.
[23:25] ---
The government's "state of emergency" alert?
[23:28] ---
Secret talks at Yagasaki Hotel? Bombing?
[23:32] ---
What the hell are you
talking about?! Who died?!
[24:08] ---
The first assassination of a sitting
Prime Minister in our nation's history
[24:12] ---
happened while Japanese soldiers occupied
an East Asian Federation embassy.
[24:15] ---
The relationship between
these events is unknown,
[24:19] ---
but authorities requested an analysis
of the Ministry faction's military Nets
[24:23] ---
from Vice-Minister Yoko Kitahara in her
interim role due to the Minister's resignation.
[24:26] ---
The administration is expected to force
the downgrade to Defense Agency,
[24:29] ---
increasing the bad feeling between
government and military groups.
[24:57] ---
"Which of us is disposable"...
[25:01] ---
Did someone use you and throw you away?
[25:08] ---
I'll find them and put them on
the slab next to you, Kurutsu.
[25:14] ---
The PM's talks were with Ambassador Wong
from the Far East trade embassy.
[25:18] ---
Investigate the simultaneous
embassy occupation
[25:21] ---
without making any assumptions.
[25:22] ---
--Yes, sir!
--Find out what's been going on at the PM's residence.
[25:26] ---
Put surveillance on anyone who makes
noise about their immunity to arrest.
[25:29] ---
Yes, sir.
[25:44] ---
We should have stopped this
from happening somehow!
[25:52] ---
All patched up?
[25:53] ---
Amazing what having a budget
will do for maintenance.
[25:57] ---
Who knows what'll happen with the
budget now that the PM's dead, though.
[26:01] ---
Give me two hours to fine-tune.
[26:03] ---
I'm gonna blow the brains
out of whoever shot me!
[26:06] ---
You go after the one with
the Major's body, Saito.
[26:09] ---
You're the only one who saw her.
[26:10] ---
I'll do both!
[26:12] ---
So what now, Major?
[26:15] ---
Paz, you're on the embassy.
Borma, you're on the bomb site.
[26:18] ---
Figure out whether this was
an operation on two fronts.
[26:20] ---
What about Kurutsu and
company's cyberbrains?
[26:23] ---
They're too damaged for me to read.
I'll investigate her death and the virus.
[26:28] ---
Let's say the chick with your body model
unleashed the virus. Can I kill her?
[26:33] ---
Do corpses give us info on the ringleader?
Quit the kill shot habit, idiot.
[26:38] ---
Are the rookie and I
goin' after the perps, then?
[26:41] ---
They oughta be halfway
around the world by now.
[26:44] ---
Nah, if their goal is to
mess with domestic affairs,
[26:46] ---
they'll have operatives in our government
who can't move right away.
[26:49] ---
In which case, there's a third party
who used these guys and then iced them.
[26:55] ---
I'll pray they're foreigners.
I'm sick of killing my countrymen.
[27:00] ---
Do background checks on everyone.
Don't get tripped up by petty spy battles.
[27:09] ---
Special Advisor Fujimoto...
[27:17] ---
I came for the DNA testing on his body.
[27:21] ---
He's not recognizable anymore, after all...
[27:25] ---
I promise to find the culprit.
[27:28] ---
My mind is so mixed up
[27:30] ---
that when they question me,
I can't even remember yesterday.
[27:33] ---
Or what Father and I last talked about...
[27:36] ---
I've experienced that, on the battlefield.
[27:40] ---
Did your memories come back?
[27:44] ---
All of them. I'll never forget again.
[27:53] ---
Right before he died, he issued
some kind of directive to me.
[27:58] ---
But someone jammed the signal.
[28:06] ---
Please... I want you to tell me
his last message for me.
[28:16] ---
Oh, and...
[28:18] ---
Could we have dinner sometime?
[28:21] ---
Pardon?
[28:22] ---
I'd like to talk to you again, if that's all right.
[28:27] ---
There aren't many restaurants I can go to.
[28:39] ---
Ishikawa, I assume you heard.
[28:41] ---
Yep. I'll find evidence.
[28:53] ---
Want me to keep tabs on him, too?
[28:55] ---
Get the perps' Net and don't
do anything uncalled-for.
[28:58] ---
Who tries to pick up women
the day after his dad dies?
[29:02] ---
Not to mention the Major!
[29:04] ---
They probably hit it off from the start.
[29:06] ---
Rich third-generation politicians
don't meet her type every day.
[29:10] ---
Now let's get to work, old-timer.
Can't waste our new authority.
[29:28] ---
It's been 900 hours since
I last saw someone move.
[29:31] ---
I heard about Unit 501 being privatized,
[29:34] ---
but I didn't realize it would
become an automated factory.
[29:37] ---
Everyone went to work for Harimadara.
[29:39] ---
What did you want? A factory tour?
[29:43] ---
Why was Kurutsu at that meeting?
[29:46] ---
For profit and survival.
[29:48] ---
Ambassador Wong and the PM
[29:50] ---
were working on an agreement to avoid
a prosthetics development dead end.
[29:53] ---
To keep production lines going
[29:55] ---
by deliberately delaying
technological improvements.
[29:58] ---
Doesn't the government give research grants
so that development won't dead-end?
[30:03] ---
It's the opposite.
Most of the existing prosthetics
[30:06] ---
will be impossible to version up
within the next generation.
[30:09] ---
Others weren't full cyborgs from birth like you.
[30:13] ---
You were developed on
the premise of further growth,
[30:16] ---
thanks to the keen insight
of your designer, Dr. Kusanagi.
[30:20] ---
So you're making parts here?
[30:23] ---
Yes, to keep us alive.
[30:26] ---
Technology conservation
keeps vested interests going,
[30:29] ---
while a technological revolution means
control of an enormous market share.
[30:32] ---
Kurutsu bet on the former, and was
annihilated by the latter's system.
[30:38] ---
That makes a strong motive
[30:39] ---
for the perp to kill the ambassador
and the PM in the same hit.
[30:45] ---
Thanks for telling me.
[30:47] ---
You should say hello to your parents.
[30:50] ---
Another time.
[30:51] ---
Come whenever you like. Much like us,
they're not going anywhere.
[31:00] ---
Koichi Sawada, former Army
armored division signal man.
[31:04] ---
Would a military Net admin really hole up here?
[31:07] ---
If the access logs left in the perps'
cyberbrains are right, he did.
[31:16] ---
Logicoma.
[31:17] ---
I see one person's heat signature.
[31:20] ---
And nobody's dead?
[31:22] ---
My investigation doesn't go that far.
[31:24] ---
Dead men tell no tales. He'd better be alive,
or we're back where we started.
[31:47] ---
You're a dangerous guest.
[31:51] ---
Learn to shut your door.
[31:56] ---
I thought someone might come to
speak with me. Did you need something?
[32:01] ---
Koichi Sawada, I presume?
We're part of a special squad.
[32:03] ---
We'd like to ask you a few questions
about the Prime Minister's assassination.
[32:11] ---
What's that data?
[32:12] ---
Soldiers' last words.
[32:14] ---
They have no money to pass down,
so they only send their dying messages.
[32:20] ---
They program them to be automatically
sent to me after they kill themselves.
[32:25] ---
Since they have no families, they choose me,
an admin they've never even met.
[32:29] ---
I wish they'd at least come talk to me...
[32:32] ---
Is someone dead?
[32:34] ---
Somewhere out there, yeah.
You stand by until we get back.
[32:38] ---
Okay!
[32:41] ---
Get any transmissions that hinted
at the Prime Minister's assassination?
[32:44] ---
Not once. I do have the
occupiers' testaments, though.
[32:51] ---
Are there any you've lost contact with?
[32:52] ---
Plenty. I'll forward you a list.
[32:55] ---
Anybody you figure was in command?
[32:58] ---
Hmm, Army Colonel Haruyoshi Nada
would have the most clout.
[33:03] ---
He was an informal advisor
to Vice-Minister Kitahara,
[33:06] ---
but he disappeared before the incident.
[33:10] ---
You come talk to me first, too.
[33:13] ---
Why me?
[33:15] ---
Most suicides are full cyborgs.
[33:18] ---
Cyberbrain standards change,
meaning they can't use the newer prosthetics,
[33:22] ---
so they fall apart while still alive.
[33:30] ---
Like me.
[33:33] ---
Without my role to play as a relay point,
I would have killed myself, too.
[33:42] ---
If the cyberbrain version you chose
doesn't fit the tide of the times later,
[33:48] ---
this is what prosthetization dooms you to.
[33:55] ---
What did you do with the dead person?
[33:57] ---
We couldn't do anything.
[33:59] ---
If he can't be repaired,
I recommend recovering his data!
[34:03] ---
You can't recover his life
or his Ghost if he's dead.
[34:07] ---
What a badly designed unit.
Have you ever died, Mr. Batou?
[34:13] ---
I was supposed to, but I wound
up a full cyborg instead.
[34:17] ---
Are you working as one of the
Major's parts so that you can die?
[34:21] ---
Hey, now!
[34:26] ---
A stud like me doesn't die too easily. Got it?
[34:30] ---
Yes! Thank you for another
valuable learning experience!
[34:38] ---
Request it through Foreign Affairs.
[34:41] ---
We're victims here. I won't allow you
to "strip them of military affiliation."
[34:46] ---
I want compensation from the government.
[34:52] ---
That "victim" is trouble.
[34:54] ---
That was Robert Lee,
the Far East Trade Representative.
[34:57] ---
He's also an infamous fixer.
[34:59] ---
He almost got deported once
at the Americans' request,
[35:03] ---
but he weaseled his way out of it.
[35:06] ---
He's got balls. For all he knows,
he might be attacked again.
[35:09] ---
He's probably got a lot of secrets
he doesn't want exposed.
[35:13] ---
Makes me want to know who
arranged the PM's secret talks.
[35:18] ---
And who leaked their location.
[35:21] ---
Tell the Major I'm always open
to a joint investigation.
[35:44] ---
Standards are the national
borders for corporations,
[35:46] ---
just as they are for cyberbrains and prosthetics.
[35:50] ---
No country relinquishes
its borders just because
[35:52] ---
national boundaries give
rise to technology gaps.
[35:55] ---
Lt. Col. Kurutsu and I were trying
to find the way to the next epoch.
[36:00] ---
Aren't you the ones who've
profited from a system
[36:03] ---
that transcends those borders,
Deputy Director Amagata?
[36:07] ---
That's no longer my title.
[36:09] ---
Kurutsu told me the same thing--
that a day was bound to come
[36:12] ---
when cyberbrain Nets would
transcend even corporate borders.
[36:16] ---
That's a long way off yet.
[36:18] ---
If you feel you're in danger, I recommend
our protection and monitoring.
[36:24] ---
That's not necessary. Your former
colleagues will protect my company.
[36:37] ---
Major.
[36:39] ---
You've got the info?
[36:40] ---
No joy with the jamming yet, but I did
find a data transfer from Kurutsu.
[36:46] ---
It was an outside transmission,
automatically sent one minute after the blast.
[36:49] ---
And it wasn't some testament
sent to the military Net, either.
[36:53] ---
Give me the address. I'll go.
[37:08] ---
So, all the members of the 501
are corporate employees now?
[37:12] ---
Or are you research subjects?
[37:14] ---
Please stay out of this, Kusanagi.
[37:17] ---
Instructor Ibachi.
[37:19] ---
We'll get justice for Kurutsu.
Don't involve yourself any further.
[37:24] ---
You're an outcast with no developmental
organization who just self-modifies.
[37:29] ---
Get in our way, and I really
will take you out this time.
[37:45] ---
Keep tabs on everyone at
Harimadara from the 501.
[37:48] ---
Expect them to obstruct our investigation.
[37:49] ---
Roger. They probably want to retaliate anyway.
[37:54] ---
I found the plan for averting
dead ends in some government docs.
[37:57] ---
There's a security plan set up based on
what happened over 20 years ago
[38:01] ---
when they tried the same national policy.
[38:03] ---
Security? What happened?
[38:05] ---
A ton of people went missing.
[38:08] ---
At the top of the list are a prosthetics
researcher and his pregnant wife.
[38:11] ---
They were last seen at the site
of a chemical weapons explosion.
[38:19] ---
Some organization is keeping their
bodies for research... Are you listening?
[38:28] ---
I'll have my Als analyze the data.
Find out the connection with these crimes.
[38:42] ---
They tell me you're with another unit now.
[38:48] ---
We have more non-military companies
interviewing here recently.
[38:51] ---
Now we foster a broader range of personnel.
[38:54] ---
Are they good purchases for the corporations?
[38:57] ---
The point is that we can promise
these children a future.
[39:03] ---
They're over there.
[39:13] ---
Hello.
[39:14] ---
Hello. What's your name?
[39:17] ---
Chris.
[39:19] ---
I'm Motoko Kusanagi. I used to live here.
[39:24] ---
Do you feel nostalgic?
[39:26] ---
Yes, I suppose it does bring back memories.
[39:30] ---
Do you know Kurutsu?
[39:32] ---
Everyone here does. She was
going to build a future for us.
[39:36] ---
But she died.
[39:39] ---
May I listen to her message?
[39:41] ---
Yes.
[39:52] ---
If you are watching this, it means
I'm no longer of this world.
[40:00] ---
Check your individual Nets for the rights,
assets, and duties I've assigned you.
[40:07] ---
I'm sure you're worried, but there is a future.
[40:09] ---
If you believe in the Third World,
we'll meet again one day.
[40:15] ---
"Third World"?
[40:18] ---
A world not of people or things, but of data.
[40:21] ---
Do you believe that
there's someplace we can go
[40:26] ---
even if we become unable to swap
prosthetics and we can't go on living?
[40:32] ---
That's not something I know.
[40:34] ---
Is this the only message?
[40:37] ---
Yes.
[40:40] ---
Will we meet again?
[40:44] ---
Good idea. Let's.
[40:56] ---
Why meet up to talk? Are you
implying my cyber lobby is bugged?
[41:01] ---
No, it's just... It's important
to talk over a meal sometimes
[41:03] ---
instead of just doing it
via cyberbrain, you know?
[41:06] ---
What are you talking about?
[41:08] ---
You're the one who chose to bring this
flesh guy into our unified-spec team.
[41:19] ---
Our rookie's afraid you
might secretly be a robot.
[41:25] ---
I didn't go that far! I just want to
deepen our understanding and trust--
[41:28] ---
He says this is a terrible working environment:
[41:30] ---
No vacation, no fun, and no cherry
blossom viewing even though it's spring.
[41:33] ---
I didn't say that!
[41:47] ---
So, about the Ministry faction...
[41:49] ---
The eleven hostage-takers,
plus Colonel Nada and seven MIAs,
[41:53] ---
all left the same testament.
[41:56] ---
Meaning they're all lying low somewhere,
and they're likely to strike again.
[42:01] ---
Colonel Nada's testament has
an extra line, and it's a weird one.
[42:05] ---
He said he'd "received a gift
from the Third World."
[42:09] ---
Doesn't that mean he got
the virus from the broker?
[42:13] ---
No... It's weird.
[42:21] ---
"Third World"? Is this some occult thing?
[42:24] ---
Find out if anyone at the Ministry of Defense
or affiliated companies uses that phrase.
[42:29] ---
Hire some more people, dammit.
[42:31] ---
I will if I find optimal parts.
[42:33] ---
Calling us parts again?
[42:35] ---
Got a problem?
[42:36] ---
The rookie says you're a crappy leader
who talks about people like things.
[42:42] ---
Seriously, I didn't go that far!
[42:44] ---
Report for ya, Major.
[42:45] ---
From the confiscated rifle and what I've
seen at the crime scene, it was an RMC.
[42:50] ---
They used a remotely controlled
machine gun, not a human sniper.
[42:53] ---
Someone did the shot, the virus,
and remote-controlled a body at the same time?
[42:57] ---
That's not the Major's body model--
that's the Major!
[43:00] ---
Just makes me wanna kill her more.
[43:02] ---
Also, I keep sensing someone watching me.
[43:07] ---
What a coincidence--so do I.
[43:16] ---
Me, too, actually.
[43:17] ---
Ape-Face from Section 9?
[43:19] ---
No, this feels different.
[43:21] ---
I found something that's probably related.
[43:24] ---
Come to my lobby, and I'll show
you something interesting.
[43:30] ---
What'd you wanna show us?
[43:32] ---
I used a forensic search to reproduce the
movements of objects caught in the blast.
[43:55] ---
This is pyro reverse measurement--
it's like replaying the explosion backwards.
[44:00] ---
Pretty amazing.
[44:17] ---
The case with the bomb in it
used fingerprint recognition.
[44:20] ---
Only the Prime Minister
or his aides could open it.
[44:28] ---
A surveillance cam?
[44:30] ---
It's military, but it's got a
limited range of transmission.
[44:33] ---
I did random testing with some white noise.
[44:35] ---
This is cheap encryption by AI.
[44:39] ---
Okay, I'm connected to our Peeping Tom's Net.
[44:48] ---
I want your name and outfit!
[44:50] ---
And FYI, my assassin's itching to kill someone.
[45:06] ---
I'm with the Treaty Review Department,
Section D! Contact them!
[45:10] ---
He's on loan to Foreign Affairs
from Public Security.
[45:15] ---
They're involved with the PM's secret talks?
[45:34] ---
I'm Akiyama, Treaty Review
Department section leader.
[45:37] ---
Give me the short and sweet explanation.
[45:40] ---
We captured her on camera a month ago.
[45:42] ---
Fire-Starter, the supposedly impossible trifecta
[45:46] ---
of brainwashing, Ghost infiltration,
and false memories...
[45:49] ---
She's the seller. A crazy bitch who
goes by the same name as the virus.
[45:54] ---
You approached her to get the virus,
and you fell into her trap.
[45:58] ---
So you put tabs on me, since we
have the same body. You're a fool.
[46:02] ---
You're a super-wizard-class hacker.
I'd be stupid not to suspect you.
[46:12] ---
It was two officers that she manipulated.
[46:14] ---
Officers?
[46:15] ---
People who helped implement
the PM's established policies.
[46:19] ---
One of them was Colonel Haruyoshi Nada.
[46:21] ---
The one who went missing before the incident?
[46:23] ---
His job was to isolate the radical
elements within the Ministry faction.
[46:28] ---
And then he up and pulled the trigger
on a two-pronged terrorist attack!
[46:32] ---
It's like he had a personality transplant.
[46:34] ---
He was infected by the virus.
Would the broker go that far, though?
[46:39] ---
Enemies of the PM must have
bought the virus at auction.
[46:43] ---
I want to find out who they were,
and get hold of them and the broker.
[46:47] ---
Who was the other officer?
[46:53] ---
Yoko Kitahara, Vice-Minister of Defense.
[47:00] ---
Wh-What's the meaning of this?!
[47:06] ---
Don't move!
[47:07] ---
You protocol-ignoring scumbags!
You're under arrest for unlawful investigation!
[47:12] ---
Knock it off.
[47:17] ---
I... never expected this...
[47:20] ---
Let's hear your story.
[47:26] ---
She was infected by Nada, and she
induced the Ministry faction's flare-up.
[47:31] ---
She manipulated public opinion
for the "Agency" downgrade
[47:33] ---
and the layoffs of several thousand
troops in the restructuring.
[47:36] ---
Was she involved in the PM's assassination?
[47:39] ---
Not that we've discovered.
[47:41] ---
So a Foreign Affairs squad
[47:43] ---
and the backbone of the MoD got
used in a plot to assassinate the PM.
[47:47] ---
The virus itself hasn't been found.
[47:49] ---
If it's all this woman's scheme...
[47:52] ---
I saw this from the cyberbrain
infringement stage.
[47:55] ---
I'm aware that I'm a victim.
[47:57] ---
Who orchestrated this to
make this look like my set-up?
[48:00] ---
Excuse me?!
[48:01] ---
He's not Section 9, is he?
[48:04] ---
That's Kuwahara, head of
intelligence's strategy office.
[48:06] ---
He's after the broker who could be your twin.
[48:09] ---
Aramaki!
[48:10] ---
So it was the intelligence bureau that
outbid the treaties bureau for the virus?
[48:15] ---
I've got nothing to do with the treaties bureau.
[48:18] ---
The purchase was a ruse to arrest the broker,
[48:20] ---
and she got away from us
before we could secure the virus.
[48:23] ---
I'll pretend I believe that.
[48:25] ---
Right now we need everyone
working together on this.
[48:29] ---
Quit being stubborn and
team up with us, Major.
[48:34] ---
An organization that locks up
witnesses to protect itself
[48:37] ---
deserves to be punished along with the perps.
[48:39] ---
You're just some upstart rogue squad!
[48:42] ---
I'll call you when we take her down,
so you can have something to do afterward.
[48:57] ---
That squad has traced things
back to Kitahara, Fire-Starter.
[49:02] ---
They're nuisances. Can't you
take them over with your virus?
[49:06] ---
No need to panic.
[49:08] ---
Intelligence and the Treaty Review
Department are both under my thumb,
[49:11] ---
and the truth is the biggest trap,
the biggest tragedy, of all.
[49:14] ---
Simply taking advantage of people's
patriotism isn't a foolproof plan.
[49:19] ---
We should eliminate any possibility
of them tracing this back to us.
[49:22] ---
That will cost you.
[49:46] ---
Motoko Kusanagi...
Now, when shall I steal your name?
[49:55] ---
Prime Minister Fujimoto definitely
issued some sort of directive.
[50:00] ---
And our only related lead is that
Vice-Minister Kitahara remembers
[50:05] ---
a ghost ship of unknown origin
off the coast of Niihama.
[50:09] ---
Nada's hideout... And yet
intelligence isn't making a move.
[50:13] ---
If Nada's infected like
the treaties bureau says...
[50:18] ---
Odds are ten to one it's a trap.
[50:21] ---
The ship's likely location is near
a cluster of undersea cables.
[50:25] ---
Could be a spy vessel.
[50:28] ---
This is all the info we have, thanks to
intelligence stealing Kitahara from us.
[50:31] ---
Now what?
[50:32] ---
We find out the rest by taking over the ship.
[50:37] ---
You just love storming
enemy positions, don't you?
[50:40] ---
Quit the squad if you've got doubts.
[50:43] ---
Everything ties back to the PM.
[50:46] ---
Will you get to the truth, or back
out now? Let your Ghosts decide.
[51:40] ---
There's a new home
where you're headed, yeah?
[51:44] ---
Not a bloody battlefield
or a tight corner to die in.
[51:53] ---
I plan to get us a position
that suits us, if nothing else.
[52:09] ---
Just stand by. We don't
know what we're facing.
[52:13] ---
"An offensive unit with top priority"...
[52:17] ---
Plenty have talked about it,
but nobody's made it a reality...
[52:22] ---
...until now.
[52:30] ---
No sign of anyone onboard.
[52:51] ---
Incoming!
[52:57] ---
They're pulling out the tanks from the get-go?!
[53:01] ---
I knew I should've stayed home!
[53:03] ---
Saito!
[53:06] ---
I can't pick them up!
[53:10] ---
Shit.
[53:13] ---
That's type-2902 thermo-optical camouflage--
Kyo-Re's newest release!
[53:18] ---
How much capital would it take to get
that for your tanks and your troops?
[53:26] ---
I'm taking the ship. Cover me!
[53:30] ---
How, exactly?!
[53:32] ---
I'll show you how it's done, rookie.
[53:49] ---
Go!
[54:50] ---
Go, Major!
[55:12] ---
I've reached the intermediate security server.
[55:15] ---
I have eyes on the barrier's gate array.
[55:19] ---
It's a variant on Army tactical defense barriers.
[55:22] ---
Lots of entrances, but only one exit...
This'll be a pain.
[55:28] ---
Opening a tunnel.
[55:30] ---
Shit, it's full of null data.
They're giving me the slip!
[55:34] ---
This fake looks familiar. The real data
is on the other side of the nulls.
[55:37] ---
I'll look for a way around.
[55:39] ---
I don't want to wait. I'll just force it open.
[55:52] ---
The broadcast van's active protection
burned out! Close the connection!
[55:56] ---
Too late!
[56:13] ---
What?
[56:17] ---
Jeez, how many hidden servers do you have?
[56:20] ---
I don't storm a place unarmed.
[56:23] ---
I've taken control. The info--
[56:27] ---
What is this?
[56:30] ---
Signals 2, 6, and 7 lost.
[56:33] ---
Number and positioning
of enemy troops unknown.
[56:35] ---
They've taken our fire-control room!
[57:01] ---
Okay, I've got him.
[57:07] ---
We're done here, too.
[57:14] ---
Hit the deck!
[57:20] ---
Another one?!
[57:22] ---
Mr. Batou!
[57:29] ---
Stop!
[57:31] ---
When are you gonna get a cockpit?!
[57:33] ---
The request is being processed!
[57:36] ---
Military restructuring...?
[57:38] ---
Why my team? Who the hell--
[57:46] ---
So that's how it is?
[57:52] ---
Get out of there now, Major!
[57:55] ---
What's your status, Major?!
[58:04] ---
Hey, what the hell's going on?!
[58:06] ---
I know we took over the ship.
[58:08] ---
Somebody's remote-controlling
these from nearby.
[58:13] ---
Saito! Find them and kill them!
[58:17] ---
Give me more intel!
[58:23] ---
That bitch!
[58:27] ---
Oh, you're good. You can
work for me when she's dead.
[58:38] ---
Dammit. She got away, guys!
[58:50] ---
Why isn't anyone shooting at us?
Isn't their goal to recapture the ship?
[58:55] ---
Everyone all right?
[58:56] ---
Major?!
[58:58] ---
What the--
[58:59] ---
Did she use Ghost infiltration keys?
[59:01] ---
She assembled us by force.
[59:03] ---
There's no time, so I'll make this brief.
[59:06] ---
I'm redoing the investigation
with a new hypothesis in mind.
[59:10] ---
There's no need for us all to bear the risk.
[59:13] ---
Major...?
[59:14] ---
It's not her. Just projected data.
[59:16] ---
I just declared this squad disbanded.
[59:20] ---
Say what?!
[59:21] ---
I'll leave recommendation
letters with Chief Aramaki.
[59:23] ---
Choose for yourselves
where you want to transfer to.
[59:27] ---
You're top-notch parts.
[59:30] ---
When you're all together,
you perform better than I could alone.
[59:39] ---
That's all. Obey your Ghosts.
[59:45] ---
Her lobby's been shut down.
[59:46] ---
She purged herself.
[59:49] ---
She might've just cut us off.
[59:52] ---
It's messed up either way.
[1:00:02] ---
My ghost lock ain't working!
[1:00:16] ---
A remote-controlled body...
[1:00:42] ---
Was Colonel Nada captured?
[1:00:46] ---
You're upset that the hearing
was indefinitely postponed?
[1:00:51] ---
I don't even know what the truth is myself!
[1:00:54] ---
I'm not upset.
[1:01:39] ---
Send the repair bill to the Ministry of
Commerce or the Far East trade embassy.
[1:01:43] ---
I'm borrowing another car.
[1:01:46] ---
"Fire-Starter"... Was that just the
virus's code name during development,
[1:01:51] ---
or is it your own name?
[1:01:54] ---
Is there a difference?
[1:01:57] ---
I abandoned the spy vessel, just like
you asked. What more do you want?!
[1:02:02] ---
We don't know whether
Kusanagi is dead or alive.
[1:02:05] ---
Search your Net for her.
[1:02:09] ---
Cooperate... Or else the biggest
scandal since the war is going public.
[1:02:26] ---
"Section 9 Office"
[1:02:29] ---
Vice-Minister Kitahara was assassinated,
and Colonel Nada is still status unknown.
[1:02:35] ---
That makes your case hard to corroborate,
[1:02:37] ---
and you've also lost your
investigative privileges.
[1:02:40] ---
But you can stay on the investigation
if you do it as members of Section 9.
[1:02:45] ---
Not interested.
[1:02:48] ---
I'm outta here.
[1:02:49] ---
Hey, wait--
[1:02:50] ---
You guys are fine with this?!
[1:02:59] ---
Where do you want to restart from?
[1:03:02] ---
If the boat didn't give us anything,
[1:03:05] ---
I'd look into anybody involved
who refuses to testify.
[1:03:08] ---
You mean Robert Lee, the Far East trade rep.
[1:03:11] ---
He's a formidable opponent.
Use Section 9's Net.
[1:03:15] ---
Yes, sir!
[1:03:21] ---
What you cultivated is starting to thrive.
[1:03:24] ---
I won't let it be cut down, Major.
[1:03:35] ---
There was this intel...
[1:03:38] ---
Two developers, a married couple, went MIA
during the old project to avert dead-ending.
[1:03:43] ---
I just did some digging.
[1:03:44] ---
Their bodies are being kept by
Unit 501 for research purposes.
[1:03:50] ---
You better not tell me the wife was pregnant.
[1:03:53] ---
What are you talking about?
[1:03:57] ---
Someone who's been a full cyborg since birth.
[1:04:01] ---
They're the Major's parents?
[1:04:03] ---
I can't be sure. The bodies are so
contaminated they can't even be ID'd.
[1:04:11] ---
She was born without a body of her own,
and raised as Army equipment.
[1:04:16] ---
It's not that she has nothing to lose...
[1:04:18] ---
It's that she never had anything she could lose.
[1:04:23] ---
Until the war ended and she
went independent, you're saying?
[1:04:28] ---
So your take is that those vics
who might be her parents
[1:04:31] ---
are the reason she's gone rogue?
[1:04:33] ---
This is the Major.
[1:04:35] ---
They're probably secondary to
something bigger she's after.
[1:04:39] ---
This is just me speculating, but I think
she saw something real bad on that ship.
[1:04:44] ---
Bad enough to make her purge all of us.
[1:04:48] ---
If you're implying she wants
to protect us, that's a laugh.
[1:04:51] ---
She calls us "parts"!
[1:04:54] ---
She talks like we're things, but she
doesn't treat us like things.
[1:04:58] ---
Full cyborgs are parts anyway, really.
[1:05:02] ---
Gotta join some organization
who'll do your maintenance,
[1:05:05] ---
or fall apart while you're still alive.
[1:05:20] ---
Where are you going?
[1:05:23] ---
I'm not the type to obey my Ghost.
[1:05:26] ---
What I can see with my own eyes is all there is.
[1:05:33] ---
One ship, two tanks, and seven infantrymen.
[1:05:37] ---
That was one expensive trap.
[1:06:09] ---
What were they looking at?
[1:06:26] ---
I came to talk.
[1:06:34] ---
Sorry for asking you here out of the blue.
[1:06:37] ---
I hear you want to work for us again.
[1:06:39] ---
If you give me intel on
Major Kusanagi, I'll consider it.
[1:06:46] ---
You're the one doing the talking.
[1:06:51] ---
My role as a relay point... is...
[1:06:56] ---
Koichi Sawada, formerly of
the Army's armored division.
[1:07:00] ---
That name matches one of the Ministry loyalists
[1:07:03] ---
who died yesterday on a spy
ship of unknown affiliation.
[1:07:06] ---
I...
[1:07:11] ---
You've been implanted with false memories...
[1:07:14] ---
...Colonel Haruyoshi Nada.
[1:07:20] ---
"Uesawa Electrical Engineering
Kenichi Pazu"
[1:07:33] ---
Damn you, Ishikawa, do you think you can get
away with making enemies of your old unit?!
[1:07:39] ---
This is filled with micromachines that
increase pain sensitivity 7,000-fold.
[1:07:43] ---
It takes them five minutes
to reach your cyberbrain.
[1:07:45] ---
It ain't the kind of thing you can withstand.
[1:07:47] ---
Stop! Stop!
[1:07:50] ---
Stop!
[1:08:14] ---
From the inside?!
[1:08:40] ---
Get in!
[1:08:46] ---
The East Asian Federation bigwigs
and the cyborg with the Major's model
[1:08:49] ---
have been together from the beginning.
[1:08:51] ---
That rules out a terror strike on two fronts.
[1:08:54] ---
Why were you at the embassy?
[1:08:57] ---
I managed to play back a scrap of the data
[1:09:00] ---
from that oversized e-paper at the bomb site.
[1:09:06] ---
A 3D map of the embassy?
[1:09:08] ---
Then the point of the PM's secret talks was...?
[1:09:13] ---
The ship was being used
for domestic espionage
[1:09:15] ---
under a secret deal with the Americans.
[1:09:18] ---
Forget a scandal--this is
a national security issue!
[1:09:22] ---
But you gave it up.
Why go so far to set up the Major?
[1:09:25] ---
Who's the Prime Minister's enemy?!
[1:09:27] ---
The PM wanted to use
the Defense Ministry faction
[1:09:29] ---
to oust the rebels in the Ministry of Commerce.
[1:09:32] ---
That's all I know! Please, give me the antidote!
[1:09:46] ---
It's a vitamin injection, idiot.
[1:10:03] ---
He's Colonel Nada?
[1:10:06] ---
Maybe his sympathy for the rank
and file spawned his false memories.
[1:10:10] ---
You think the host's desire and guilt
form the core of the false memories?
[1:10:16] ---
And they left him alive as a card to play when
they wanted to intimidate the government.
[1:10:21] ---
Unbelievable.
[1:10:24] ---
After the incident,
Representative Lee took over
[1:10:26] ---
a rare earth mine that had
been under Wong's jurisdiction.
[1:10:30] ---
They were outwardly cooperative,
but they were competitors.
[1:10:35] ---
This is all about war merchants
trying to crush each other.
[1:10:38] ---
The PM must've helped with the
Ambassador's plan to kill the Representative.
[1:10:44] ---
And the Representative counterattacked.
[1:10:47] ---
Our broker provided both sides with the virus.
[1:10:52] ---
Probably playing a double game.
[1:10:54] ---
When you get down to it, this was a war
between the PM and the Federation!
[1:11:07] ---
Got it.
[1:11:08] ---
Someone's ordered the Major's arrest.
[1:11:12] ---
Where are you going?
[1:11:15] ---
Even the Major decided to go this one alone.
I know you guys won't act.
[1:11:22] ---
Don't underestimate me.
[1:11:24] ---
I'll leave the Major to you. Do not let her die.
[1:11:49] ---
Major Kusanagi?
[1:11:52] ---
Section 9 told me to call them if you showed up.
[1:11:57] ---
You want to keep this secret even from them?
[1:11:59] ---
That depends on you, Special Advisor Fujimoto.
[1:12:35] ---
You carried the enemy's bomb to your father.
[1:12:40] ---
Oh, God...
[1:12:43] ---
One more thing. My squad's budget--
I couldn't trace some of it.
[1:12:48] ---
Where did that money come from?
[1:12:53] ---
I think it's a surplus from
privatizing a military wing...
[1:12:56] ---
From breaking up a post called Unit 501.
[1:13:03] ---
Please, put my memories back how they were!
[1:13:07] ---
I can't bear these memories!
[1:13:10] ---
I choose the truth.
[1:13:13] ---
I don't want to exchange
my memories for fabricated ones,
[1:13:15] ---
no matter how much my heart might wish it.
[1:13:18] ---
Never again.
[1:13:39] ---
A remote-controlled body...
[1:13:48] ---
Kurutsu!
[1:14:19] ---
Show me to the server floor.
[1:15:04] ---
A virus development Net...
transmitting externally?!
[1:15:24] ---
An attack barrier and a barrier maze.
[1:15:26] ---
Clearly that info is something
worth protecting to you two.
[1:15:29] ---
Your brain associated us
with our old bodies, I see.
[1:15:32] ---
We're sorry, but we're going to restrain you.
[1:15:35] ---
On Kurutsu's orders?
[1:15:36] ---
No, it's our collective will.
[1:15:38] ---
Kurutsu is only one part.
[1:15:40] ---
Then she is alive.
[1:15:44] ---
Please don't fight, Kusanagi.
[1:15:46] ---
We don't want to see you killed.
[1:16:28] ---
That's enough. Leave it be, Kusanagi.
[1:16:38] ---
Outcast.
[1:16:53] ---
Out of my way!
[1:17:40] ---
You've reached your limit, Kusanagi.
[1:18:02] ---
Major!
[1:18:25] ---
Yo. Awake now? I cracked your
secret lab to use it. No complaining.
[1:18:31] ---
It ain't like you to lower your body's
functionality with implanted weapons.
[1:18:37] ---
Why did you come?
[1:18:39] ---
How about you just be honest and say,
[1:18:41] ---
"As your leader I couldn't
order you to come with me,
[1:18:43] ---
but as a human with a Ghost
I wanted to give you the choice"?
[1:18:48] ---
Run.
[1:18:49] ---
Sure, once you're out of the maze.
[1:18:51] ---
Until then, we're gonna do our own thing.
[1:19:04] ---
I hope you can take responsibility for this!
[1:19:06] ---
Don't worry. I'll use members of the unit.
[1:19:09] ---
I'll have my subsidiaries give you soldiers.
Go through as many as you like.
[1:19:14] ---
You don't mind battlefield-level casualties?
[1:19:18] ---
It can't be helped.
This is a 500-billion-dollar business.
[1:19:21] ---
Fools out to change the
world are a minority group.
[1:19:25] ---
Isn't getting rid of those fast
what your "democracy" is about?
[1:19:47] ---
Don't resist, Kusanagi.
[1:19:49] ---
We don't want to see your brain fried.
[1:19:51] ---
My barrier isn't that cheap.
[1:20:01] ---
To think you reverse-breached the barrier...
[1:20:03] ---
There'll be no going back for any of us.
[1:20:05] ---
Tell me the real Kurutsu's location
and objective before that happens.
[1:20:10] ---
We don't know her location.
Her having multiple bodies was top-secret.
[1:20:15] ---
Her objective is the same as ever:
survive no matter who wins this.
[1:20:21] ---
I assume you know this, but the
East Asian Federation's objectives
[1:20:24] ---
are a technological revolution through
dead-ending and a monopoly on the market.
[1:20:28] ---
Some children aren't facing a dead end yet.
[1:20:32] ---
You'd turn them into merchandise?!
[1:20:35] ---
They are our successors,
to whom we should leave everything.
[1:20:38] ---
They will become next-generation models
[1:20:40] ---
and make long-term versioning up a reality.
[1:20:43] ---
And you'll make them repeat all this?
Sell even their Ghosts?!
[1:21:26] ---
Why, you...!
[1:21:59] ---
You were always free.
[1:22:02] ---
Constantly trying to create a future.
[1:22:04] ---
We envy you that.
[1:22:07] ---
You protected me...?!
[1:22:09] ---
Our brains are at their limit anyway.
[1:22:12] ---
We'll shift to the Third World
before they expire.
[1:22:15] ---
Pray that we become part of the sea of data.
[1:22:19] ---
Someday, someone may
be born who accesses you.
[1:22:50] ---
There!
[1:23:28] ---
Saito!
[1:23:29] ---
How dare that bastard screw with me?!
[1:23:40] ---
Hey guys, everybody alive?
[1:23:41] ---
We can't repair you if you die, you know!
[1:23:44] ---
We studs don't die!
[1:24:17] ---
Why are you just standing there?
I'll replace you if you don't perform better.
[1:24:22] ---
I was just about to show
my stuff, gorilla woman.
[1:24:53] ---
Major!
[1:25:06] ---
You outcast scum!
[1:25:30] ---
Major, are you all right?
[1:25:57] ---
Normal prosthetics are the best, am I right?
[1:26:00] ---
I told you to run, you thrill-seeking idiots.
[1:26:05] ---
You're the kind of parts
I won't be able to collect again!
[1:26:11] ---
We've got an important job still undone.
[1:26:22] ---
What good will arresting me do?
[1:26:25] ---
The same game will just start up again
after this administration dissolves.
[1:26:29] ---
Several retiring Ministers have
already said that to me today,
[1:26:31] ---
but I won't let it happen.
[1:26:33] ---
We've used money and technology
to fight an unscrupulous system.
[1:26:38] ---
It's no different from you with your guns.
[1:26:40] ---
We hate crime. You breed
criminals for the sake of profits.
[1:26:47] ---
You'll understand one day.
[1:27:42] ---
That's where you've been?
[1:27:58] ---
You're late. She's just leaving.
[1:28:31] ---
Kurutsu!
[1:28:34] ---
Kurutsu is dead.
[1:28:36] ---
Even controlling the same body, I can't
behave with the same personality again.
[1:28:42] ---
It's a mystery even to me.
[1:28:45] ---
How long have you been doing that?
[1:28:47] ---
Since the beginning.
[1:28:49] ---
I've been compensating for the
growth failure with micromachines,
[1:28:52] ---
and though I can't be prosthetized,
I've operated many prosthetic bodies.
[1:28:57] ---
But you're the only one
whose name I couldn't use.
[1:29:00] ---
And Fire-Starter? Were you the developer?
[1:29:16] ---
One day you'll understand
[1:29:18] ---
the diversity of information packages,
and the birth of a new world...
[1:29:25] ---
I'm going there... Going where everyone else is.
[1:30:02] ---
I pity you, remaining in a world like this
when you were once freer than anyone.
[1:30:38] ---
Did you get to say goodbye?
[1:30:42] ---
Why did you use her?
[1:30:45] ---
Two possibilities existed to avert the dead
end of cyberbrains and prosthetic bodies.
[1:30:51] ---
You and she were those possibilities. That's all.
[1:30:56] ---
Take him.
[1:31:01] ---
You should stop searching for the names
of the dead. There's nothing to be gained.
[1:31:06] ---
Take it from someone who's spent
a long time as one of the dead.
[1:31:14] ---
What is it?
[1:31:15] ---
Won't you take us with you?
[1:31:17] ---
Where should we go?!
[1:31:19] ---
What do you want?
[1:31:22] ---
To gain uniform standards
by selling your bodies and Ghosts
[1:31:26] ---
and sacrificing those who were given nothing?
[1:31:29] ---
You all have cyberbrains.
You have Ghosts you should be obeying.
[1:31:35] ---
You seek more than that from other people--
what do you plan to offer in return?
[1:31:40] ---
Build a future.
[1:31:51] ---
It's just the government's "official position."
It doesn't conflict with our trade.
[1:31:56] ---
Excellent. When the slave state fails
to serve, the aristocracy state starves.
[1:32:02] ---
The slave trade benefits from labor shortages.
[1:32:25] ---
You really gonna do this, Major?
[1:32:43] ---
So, here we have the
Far East Trade Representative,
[1:32:45] ---
Vice-Minister of Commerce Ito,
and some union officials.
[1:32:49] ---
How dare you?
[1:32:50] ---
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
the Defense Agency are watching this.
[1:32:53] ---
I'll have Vice-Minister Ito here
[1:32:56] ---
testify in a court of law about
the Prime Minister's assassination.
[1:32:59] ---
I'm ruined...
[1:33:00] ---
Impossible.
[1:33:02] ---
He applied for asylum and was accepted.
He even signed the written oath.
[1:33:06] ---
When?!
[1:33:07] ---
I don't have to answer that.
[1:33:08] ---
The papers are at the embassy.
I'll forward them to you.
[1:33:12] ---
The previous Prime Minister's
wishes survive. You'll be assassinated.
[1:33:16] ---
Ha! This is a civilized, pacifist nation.
[1:33:20] ---
Oh, is it?
[1:33:29] ---
Outside the window!
[1:33:34] ---
H-Help!
[1:33:35] ---
Hold your fire!
[1:34:13] ---
Off in the distance, a ray of light shines down
[1:34:26] ---
I rub the eyes I'd closed for so long
[1:34:37] ---
The naïve ones are calling me
[1:34:51] ---
I flex and bend my heavy, rusted limbs
[1:35:06] ---
I need a reason to walk inch by slow inch
down that never-ending path
[1:35:21] ---
I can still move
[1:35:34] ---
I can still see
[1:35:43] ---
Cherry blossom viewing together is nice, huh?
[1:35:46] ---
This is an assignment.
[1:35:46] ---
Long ago, the illusions had names
[1:35:48] ---
A 24-hour cherry blossom stakeout.
[1:35:56] ---
Time for work, Major.
In South Niihama District 4--
[1:35:59] ---
As terribly precious things do
Nope.
[1:36:01] ---
As terribly precious things do
I got you the budget, so get to work.
[1:36:04] ---
As terribly precious things do
Logicoma!
[1:36:05] ---
As terribly precious things do
Aye! We saw the report that
[1:36:08] ---
the council passed your budget!
[1:36:10] ---
Okay. Flower stakeout suspended!
[1:36:11] ---
The great ones have left without us
Okay. Flower stakeout suspended!
[1:36:15] ---
The great ones have left without us
Let's go!
[1:36:17] ---
The great ones have left without us
[1:36:21] ---
The great ones have left without us
You're top-notch parts I collected.
[1:36:24] ---
Spread their wings and taken off for that white shining place
Perform, and handle this case!
[1:36:29] ---
Spread their wings and taken off for that white shining place
[1:36:39] ---
They climb higher and higher
in the endlessly blue sky
[1:36:55] ---
But I can see them
[1:37:08] ---
We'll meet again
[1:37:20] ---
But I can see them
[1:37:32] ---
We'll meet again
[1:37:45] ---
I have a reason to walk inch by slow inch
down that never-ending path
[1:38:01] ---
I can still move
[1:38:13] ---
I can still see
[1:38:25] ---
I can still move
[1:38:38] ---
I can still see
[1:38:50] ---
I can still move
[1:39:03] ---
I can still see
[1:39:15] ---
I can still move
