[00:58] ---
    I'm amazed we got permission
    to exhume the body.
[01:00] ---
    It's backward. They disregarded our
    investigation by burying him to begin with.
[01:04] ---
    Yes, sir. Still, a military cemetery...
[01:09] ---
    It's ridiculously expensive to dispose
    of a prosthetic body that can't be reused.
[01:13] ---
    Thanks to their cost-cutting,
    we can recover the cyberbrain.
[01:17] ---
    Where are the engineers?
[01:20] ---
    Drawing straws at HQ.
[01:22] ---
    Apparently, connecting to a
    dead criminal's cyberbrain is "creepy."
[01:26] ---
    We don't know yet that he's a criminal.
[01:28] ---
    Chief Aramaki!
[01:30] ---
    We'll check the contents,
    then take it back to headquarters.
[01:38] ---
    What are you waiting for? Put it down!
[01:42] ---
    Sorry, sir!
[01:45] ---
    Don't open that coffin!
[03:37] ---
    This is from your unit.
[04:25] ---
    Are you military?
[04:30] ---
    I'm Aramaki, with Public Security Section 9.
[04:33] ---
    We're investigating
    Lieutenant Colonel Mamuro's murder.
[04:37] ---
    I'm seizing his cyberbrain
    and prosthetic body as evidence.
[04:39] ---
    He's also suspected of taking bribes,
    and we're investigating that too.
[04:44] ---
    Public Security has no
    right to ransack this place.
[04:46] ---
    We'll bury him again when the case is closed.
[04:49] ---
    And how do I know you won't pull
    a cover-up, or fabricate evidence?
[04:52] ---
    The military is in the middle of its
    first major shakeup since the war.
[04:57] ---
    It would be more suspicious if
    this only got an internal investigation.
[05:01] ---
    If he were still with us, Mamuro
    would have been the first to say so.
[05:05] ---
    You knew him?
[05:07] ---
    Yes, back when I was an Army man.
[05:09] ---
    There's not a soldier in the
    world more squeaky-clean than he was.
[05:18] ---
    Your name and unit?
[05:22] ---
    Major Motoko Kusanagi, Unit 501.
[05:27] ---
    501? So you were his subordinate.
[05:33] ---
    Open it up.
[05:35] ---
    Can I ask your rank?
[05:38] ---
    I was in the old
    Investigations Section. That's all.
[05:40] ---
    They sold off whatever wouldn't
    fit in the coffin to a junk shop.
[05:56] ---
    That's not his body!
[06:22] ---
    Get down!
[07:16] ---
    Finally back on base, you delinquent?
[07:19] ---
    Why did you authorize
    Public Security's involvement?!
[07:22] ---
    Since I can't dismiss the possibility that
    Mamuro was corrupt, I had no choice.
[07:26] ---
    Unit 501 should be investigating this!
[07:30] ---
    The higher-ups told us to stay out of it.
[07:34] ---
    Someone set a trap at his grave.
[07:37] ---
    Ignore it.
[07:38] ---
    His cyberbrain is gone!
[07:40] ---
    This isn't the time to stir up a hornet's nest.
[07:44] ---
    Then you believe that he
    was taking dirty money?
[07:47] ---
    He got mugged downtown. That much is fact.
[07:51] ---
    Not an honorable death, but compared
    to indictment, maybe he got lucky.
[07:56] ---
    Thanks to him, our letters of
    recommendation are on hold, too.
[08:00] ---
    Concentrate on your work for now.
[08:02] ---
    Work?
[08:04] ---
    I distinctly remember asking you
    to analyze that infected hardware.
[08:09] ---
    Not possible. I just got
    back to Japan today, you know.
[08:15] ---
    True enough.
[08:17] ---
    I'll do the assignment.
[08:18] ---
    In return, give me leave to go
    off-base and authorize direct debit.
[08:22] ---
    Such a problem child.
[08:24] ---
    I'm only going to find out who set the trap.
[08:27] ---
    Very well. I'll take care
    of it in Mamuro's place.
[08:31] ---
    Thanks, Kurutsu.
[08:35] ---
    Don't forget your meeting with the brass.
[10:04] ---
    Giichi Mamuro, member of
    a special unit of the GSDA,
[10:07] ---
    was murdered on the fifth of this month.
[10:10] ---
    --Niihama police say the investigation
    into his possible corruption is ongoing.
    --Lieutenant Colonel Mamuro is
    suspected of taking large bribes...
[10:13] ---
    ...while serving as a security official
    in Harimadara's weapons export--
[10:53] ---
    Access records of his movements
    on the day of his death
[10:55] ---
    and all data from city surveillance cameras.
[11:26] ---
    He was tailed.
[11:28] ---
    Scan anyone who traveled the same
    route he did before time of death.
[11:37] ---
    Three...
[11:49] ---
    A fourth?
[12:23] ---
    Three men and a mobile
    land mine were following him?
[12:33] ---
    "Funds transferred."
[12:39] ---
    What is this?
[12:42] ---
    Any pain?
[12:44] ---
    Not right now, no.
[12:46] ---
    It's similar to the phantom
    pain particular to cyborgs,
[12:50] ---
    but that shouldn't affect you.
[12:52] ---
    Could be a bad contact in
    your nervous components.
[12:55] ---
    Any other abnormalities?
[13:03] ---
    No.
[13:05] ---
    We should do a full-body checkup to be safe.
[13:07] ---
    Thank you, but I have a meeting to go to.
[13:16] ---
    Goodness, you have visitors.
[13:20] ---
    They announced themselves
    as Public Security Section 9.
[13:22] ---
    Say I'm not here.
[13:27] ---
    As both a Special Cyborg and a
    recognized wizard-class programmer,
[13:32] ---
    new regulations apply to you
    under the revised Weapons Act.
[13:36] ---
    The Prosthetics Maintenance Rule
    now applies to issuing identification,
[13:41] ---
    possessing cash, opening bank accounts,
    or other ownership of assets.
[13:45] ---
    In Lt. Col. Mamuro's letter
    on my reclassification,
[13:48] ---
    he guaranteed my financial autonomy.
[13:51] ---
    If he's proven corrupt,
    he'll receive a dishonorable discharge,
[13:55] ---
    and all such documents will be void.
[13:58] ---
    You expect me to endure a position
[14:00] ---
    where I have to file paperwork
    every time I open my wallet?
[14:04] ---
    The cost of prosthetic bodies far exceeds
    standard health insurance payouts.
[14:07] ---
    You ought to do your duty to the government
    which guarantees your right to life.
[14:12] ---
    This is the consent form for your monitoring
    and custody post-restructuring.
[14:16] ---
    Make an effort to understand
    your circumstances.
[14:31] ---
    During the war,
    Japan allocated a sky-high budget
[14:34] ---
    to promote cyborg development.
[14:37] ---
    Did they tell you to become
    Army property to foot the bill?
[14:42] ---
    There were large deposits
    made to Mamuro's accounts.
[14:45] ---
    But after his murder,
    someone withdrew all that money.
[14:51] ---
    What do you want?
[14:53] ---
    Major Kusanagi, of Unit 501. No criminal record.
[14:58] ---
    You work with the Army and
    Public Security as a special consultant.
[15:02] ---
    You specialize in solving cybercrimes.
[15:12] ---
    I request that you track down the missing
    money and analyze the coffin records.
[15:16] ---
    Since it's an official investigation,
    you should be given leave to go off-base.
[15:20] ---
    What's the pay?
[15:22] ---
    I'll give you the regular
    consulting fee, as a civilian.
[15:26] ---
    That'll be an issue, you know.
[15:28] ---
    A soldier famous for his integrity being
    shot to death in secret is a bigger issue.
[15:43] ---
    --Hey!
    --How dare you?!
[15:45] ---
    Tomorrow morning, I'll send you a
    liaison who'll double as a bodyguard.
[15:50] ---
    Think she's in?
[15:51] ---
    She's as in the dark as we are.
[15:53] ---
    If she wants to be free,
    she'll have to find out the truth.
[16:02] ---
    Still don't want the 501 to investigate?
[16:05] ---
    Make one wrong move,
    and our unit could get dissolved.
[16:09] ---
    Public Security offered me an assignment.
[16:11] ---
    Will you accept?
[16:12] ---
    Lend me a hand.
[16:14] ---
    If you can't get it done alone,
    you'll be at the end of the line.
[16:17] ---
    No one else will be able to protect you then.
[16:20] ---
    Being protected isn't what I learned to do here!
[16:24] ---
    I learned to make the most of my strengths!
[16:28] ---
    I'll grant permission for you to use Server 6.
[16:31] ---
    Thanks.
[16:33] ---
    Just don't forget the job I gave you.
[16:42] ---
    List the people working on the case.
[16:45] ---
    But this is clearly related
    to the LTC's mugging!
[16:49] ---
    We know he met up with the prostitute.
    We need a warrant for her cust--
[16:53] ---
    It's military jurisdiction! You keep out of it!
[16:56] ---
    You just forget this case,
    you hear me? That's an order!
[17:03] ---
    Then what's a special
    investigator even for, dammit?!
[17:08] ---
    "Mamuro was being followed."
[17:13] ---
    What?!
[17:34] ---
    --Hey!
    --St-Stop right there!
[17:53] ---
    There you are!
[18:04] ---
    Well, if it isn't the little
    tomboy from the lab.
[18:13] ---
    The one who infiltrated me... is in that car...!
[18:23] ---
    You fool! That makes you a deserter!
[18:31] ---
    Stop, Raizo!
[18:33] ---
    You all right, Kusanagi?
[18:35] ---
    Instructor Ibachi...
[18:37] ---
    Don't think you can do whatever you want
    just because you were Mamuro's favorite!
[18:41] ---
    Your selfish actions put
    the whole unit in danger!
[18:45] ---
    That's enough! I'll be the one to lecture her.
[18:51] ---
    That bitch only survived as a test subject.
[18:59] ---
    The number is a fake. He's a slippery customer.
[19:02] ---
    We've proven there was an infiltrator, at least.
[19:06] ---
    What does Kurutsu say?
[19:07] ---
    "Ignore it."
[19:10] ---
    Is your prosthetic body acting up?
[19:15] ---
    I don't know.
[19:16] ---
    Goodness, another visitor.
[19:18] ---
    You've got a strange one here to see you.
[19:24] ---
    What is this?
[19:31] ---
    It uses signal lights? How old is this thing?
[19:37] ---
    Here, come with me.
[19:51] ---
    Construct your learning base yourself.
[20:01] ---
    Hello, nice to meet you!
[20:03] ---
    I'm an autonomous-follower logistics system--
    a "Logistics Conveyer Machine."
[20:09] ---
    You're Section 9's "liaison
    who'll double as a bodyguard"?
[20:13] ---
    Chief Aramaki calls me a "Logicoma"!
[20:16] ---
    You'll be receiving information
    through me, Major Kusanagi.
[20:21] ---
    No synching. Explain things orally or as data.
[20:25] ---
    Um... Any Army case information on
    the group identified as illicit arms dealers
[20:30] ---
    would be very useful to Chief Aramaki
    in tracking down a mobile land mine!
[20:35] ---
    The Army? Arms dealers?
[20:38] ---
    Yes, sir!
[20:42] ---
    You disappear. I'll take it from here.
[20:45] ---
    Order acknowledged!
[20:50] ---
    Optical camouflage?
[21:00] ---
    Stay here and guard my bike.
[21:02] ---
    Right!
[21:07] ---
    Come on, walk straight!
    Look, we're almost there.
[21:17] ---
    Hi there!
[21:19] ---
    Come on in.
[21:20] ---
    It's not even dinnertime, and
    this guy's three sheets to the wind!
[21:23] ---
    Get him something cold, okay?
[21:26] ---
    Come on, get it together! Sit straight!
[21:42] ---
    I fold.
[21:43] ---
    Gonna go hit the can.
[21:45] ---
    Hey, no fair!
[21:46] ---
    But you had a great hand!
[21:55] ---
    There.
[22:02] ---
    Warning! Warning!
[22:04] ---
    Someone approaching, extremely close!
[22:09] ---
    Don't move. Who sent you?!
[22:31] ---
    Were you the ones who killed Lt. Col. Mamuro?
[22:34] ---
    Huh? Are you Public Security?
[22:35] ---
    Answer me!
[22:37] ---
    First you check the Army database!
    Code 24, Ops H2976...
[22:43] ---
    ...code name Paz!
[22:46] ---
    You're undercover?!
[22:49] ---
    Yeah, the group I'm in with was hired for a hit.
[22:54] ---
    They said the target was a full cyborg
[22:55] ---
    and his cyberbrain had to be destroyed,
    so we'd use mobile land mines.
[22:58] ---
    Three of 'em--and I'm talking military-grade.
[23:01] ---
    Lt. Col. Mamuro's murder?
[23:04] ---
    Who knows? Apparently
    somebody beat our guys to it,
[23:08] ---
    and we let the mines get away.
[23:10] ---
    Where did the mines come from?
[23:12] ---
    Maneuver Area 6.
[23:14] ---
    That place is a joke. Might as well
    set foxes to guard a henhouse.
[23:21] ---
    Feel like proving it with me?
[23:25] ---
    This ain't the best job,
    but I can't just drop it.
[23:28] ---
    I'd be in danger, and I'd
    cause trouble for my CO.
[23:33] ---
    Is your CO trustworthy?
[23:36] ---
    Used to be.
[23:40] ---
    I see.
[23:43] ---
    Thanks for your cooperation.
[23:46] ---
    I wish I had your freedom of movement.
[23:59] ---
    You can't analyze it?
[24:01] ---
    It might just be noise.
[24:23] ---
    No full-body cyborg gets to leave
    this organization and go independent.
[24:28] ---
    You're just a girl with a little
    talent for cyber warfare.
[24:33] ---
    Mamuro's death was an inevitability.
[24:35] ---
    Don't step out of line, or I'll take you out.
[24:40] ---
    Kurutsu and Ibachi can't shield you from me.
[24:44] ---
    An inevitability...
[25:21] ---
    "Maneuver Area 6"
[25:37] ---
    Their security's a joke, all right.
[25:53] ---
    All that's left is to connect the dots...
[25:56] ---
    Look, I've got authorization!
    And all I'm gonna do is ask questions!
[26:00] ---
    Take your complaints to the station.
[26:03] ---
    Where does he get off? It ain't like
    I've never been deployed, dammit...
[26:14] ---
    This is bullshit! They're not even he--
[26:19] ---
    Ah, sorry. I'm a special investigator
    with the Niihama police.
[26:23] ---
    I was told I could find these two here.
[26:26] ---
    I have some questions for
    First Lieutenant Moto Seta
[26:29] ---
    and Captain Amuri Noto here--
[26:31] ---
    Thanks. You just connected some dots.
[26:35] ---
    And I see some others just connected.
    How about showing yourself?
[26:48] ---
    Batou the Ranger?
[26:51] ---
    Long time no see. Gotta say I
    didn't figure you for this one.
[26:56] ---
    What do you mean?
[26:57] ---
    The man you killed seven days
    ago was a comrade of mine!
[27:02] ---
    I just got back to Japan three days ago.
[27:05] ---
    Oh, really?!
[27:27] ---
    I've told you your sleepless eye's
    weakness is how easy it is to infiltrate.
[27:33] ---
    Still afraid of taking friendly
    fire out in the jungle?
[27:37] ---
    I'm an electronic warfare specialist too!
[27:39] ---
    I can't believe you infiltrated
    me in the middle of a fight!
[27:42] ---
    You're just about the only
    one who'd infiltrate me.
[27:46] ---
    So, why are you after me?
[27:49] ---
    Don't play dumb!
[27:50] ---
    You're the one who got this
    place's mobile land mines!
[27:58] ---
    What the hell?!
[28:07] ---
    Wait!
[28:09] ---
    Don't shoot! Run!
[28:22] ---
    Don't!
[28:50] ---
    Those guys aren't with you?!
[28:52] ---
    Seriously, what are you talking about?
[28:54] ---
    Hey, look!
[29:00] ---
    They found us!
[29:02] ---
    They want to eliminate us here.
[29:04] ---
    And their excuse will be a
    "training exercise accident"?
[29:06] ---
    I can't stop 'em with this puny gun!
[29:12] ---
    We'll just have to run!
[29:19] ---
    Now we climb!
[29:20] ---
    Climb this?!
[29:22] ---
    Damn straight!
[29:24] ---
    We'll hold them off, so get moving!
[29:26] ---
    --Okay, fine.
    --Hello!
[29:28] ---
    What's that?!
[29:32] ---
    We're surrounded.
[29:36] ---
    I told you, move it!
[29:38] ---
    I know, I know!
[29:49] ---
    Get in!
[30:10] ---
    I thought you couldn't drop your job?
[30:12] ---
    This makes a nice change of pace.
[30:33] ---
    You asked the military police for help?
[30:37] ---
    To escort a suspect.
[30:40] ---
    What's this about?
[30:48] ---
    This makes no sense.
[30:50] ---
    Firstly: the missing money went
    to your account, Major Kusanagi.
[30:56] ---
    Secondly: the bullet you fired on
    the mobile land mine at the graveyard
[31:00] ---
    matched the one that killed Lt. Col. Mamuro.
[31:03] ---
    Seven days ago, a prostitute
    here in town was shot to death.
[31:07] ---
    The bullet matched the one that killed Mamuro.
[31:10] ---
    Mamuro had met with her,
    and according to the other working girls,
[31:14] ---
    he was asking questions
    about one of her clients.
[31:17] ---
    Seven days ago, one of my fellow Rangers
[31:20] ---
    was killed by a mobile land mine,
    along with his family.
[31:26] ---
    He'd been in contact with Mamuro, too.
[31:29] ---
    And when I traced the land mine to
    its source, it led me to the major here.
[31:35] ---
    By the way, she says she got
    back to Japan three days ago,
[31:38] ---
    but Immigration records
    say it was seven days ago.
[31:41] ---
    The three mines my group was supposed to use
[31:43] ---
    were the same model as the one
    Section 9 dug up at the graveyard.
[31:47] ---
    Assuming one of those three was
    buried and another killed the Ranger,
[31:51] ---
    there's one more left unaccounted for.
[31:53] ---
    At the moment, all the clues
    point to you murdering Mamuro
[31:57] ---
    and stealing his money.
[32:01] ---
    Right after I landed, I got a message
    and an attaché case from him.
[32:07] ---
    I'm sorry, Major Kusanagi. I doubt
    I'll be in this world much longer.
[32:14] ---
    I wanted to get justice.
[32:17] ---
    I've left your recommendation
    in someone else's care.
[32:21] ---
    You're the most promising squad
    member I know. I wish you luck.
[32:26] ---
    In the case, I found data on an internal
    weapons exportation racket...
[32:31] ---
    ...and this gun.
[32:33] ---
    You've moved a lot of money
    in the past few days.
[32:38] ---
    Who are you sending it to?
[32:40] ---
    The widow of the man who raised me.
[32:44] ---
    She's taken care of me since I was little,
    but she's in a nursing home now.
[32:50] ---
    What's her name?
[32:53] ---
    What is this woman's name?
[33:09] ---
    Phantom pain, huh?
[33:11] ---
    Even after you mechanize your body,
    your brain never forgets the original.
[33:16] ---
    Pain in the ass.
[33:17] ---
    I don't have an "original" body.
[33:20] ---
    What?
[33:21] ---
    Have you heard of Doctor Bakeru's
    emergency medicine system?
[33:25] ---
    That thing where someone
    with a full prosthetic body
[33:27] ---
    uses their life-support
    system on somebody else?
[33:31] ---
    The person who raised me used it on
    me while I was in my mother's womb.
[33:42] ---
    Supposedly a chemical weapon killed a
    large number of civilians way back when.
[33:48] ---
    A pregnant woman and the man
    assumed to be her husband both died.
[33:52] ---
    We don't even know their names.
[33:54] ---
    Because someone with that particular
    lifesaver happened to be on the scene,
[33:57] ---
    the fetus's brain alone survived.
[34:00] ---
    You're saying you were
    made a full cyborg at birth?!
[34:03] ---
    I lack any memory of a body.
[34:06] ---
    So perhaps you could call this "ghost pain,"
    created by false memories.
[34:18] ---
    This is surveillance footage
    from Maneuver Area 6.
[34:22] ---
    Your subordinate is in it.
[34:24] ---
    If you refuse to hand her over,
[34:27] ---
    I'll present you with a summons
    signed by the Defense Minister himself.
[34:30] ---
    I'll submit a written report at a
    later date. I can't hand her over.
[34:35] ---
    Vixen.
[34:37] ---
    I'll make you regret this.
[34:46] ---
    That's Shujiro Kanzaki. He's in
    charge of Maneuver Area 6,
[34:50] ---
    and he leads a team of special agents.
[34:53] ---
    He's also the Army's dirty go-between
    with the Ministry of Defense.
[34:56] ---
    Don't worry. I'll protect you.
[35:03] ---
    What's wrong?
[35:06] ---
    It's nothing.
[35:21] ---
    It's been empty from the beginning?
    Then where's the gun?!
[35:26] ---
    Why did I think there were
    whistle-blowing documents in it?!
[35:30] ---
    And the lieutenant colonel...?
[35:50] ---
    What's real? What's the truth?
[36:00] ---
    Where's Mamuro's cyberbrain?
[36:06] ---
    Wait, Kusanagi.
[36:08] ---
    Calm down.
[36:10] ---
    The hardware Kurutsu had me analyze
    matched his Net synch pattern.
[36:16] ---
    He and I were infected with
    the same virus, weren't we?
[36:20] ---
    With something hypothesized
    to be a cyber-virus.
[36:22] ---
    We speculate that it's a
    self-destructing Stuxnet-type
[36:25] ---
    which causes unknown dysfunction.
[36:28] ---
    "Unknown dysfunction"...
    You mean false memories.
[36:32] ---
    It was purely a hypothesis.
[36:33] ---
    At least, until we checked into your behavior.
[36:36] ---
    I just got back to Japan today, you know.
[36:40] ---
    True enough.
[36:42] ---
    When did I come back to Japan?
[36:44] ---
    Approximately 180 hours ago.
    In other words, seven days.
[36:48] ---
    And yet you continue to claim
    it was another day altogether.
[36:53] ---
    Route of transmission?
[36:55] ---
    It must have been contact
    with Mamuro's cyberbrain.
[36:57] ---
    Which is still with his prosthetic body.
[37:01] ---
    His coffin was a trap.
[37:04] ---
    And the records Public Security got of
    his burial show no signs of tampering.
[37:10] ---
    So that's how it is...
[37:13] ---
    Logicoma, synch with me.
[37:15] ---
    Are you sure?
[37:17] ---
    Just get on with it. Record my field
    of vision and play it back in real time.
[37:22] ---
    Roger!
[37:27] ---
    I see things that shouldn't be there.
[37:37] ---
    I don't see things that should be there.
[38:04] ---
    Here, the whole time...?
[38:08] ---
    "Special agent" "The LTC is innocent"
[38:28] ---
    This is a warrant for Major Kusanagi's arrest.
[38:33] ---
    Surrender her immediately.
[38:37] ---
    "Special agent" "The LTC is innocent"
[38:38] ---
    What happened to this room?!
[38:59] ---
    The records weren't tampered with.
[39:02] ---
    They just buried the truth under a lie.
[39:41] ---
    I've found it...
[39:43] ---
    My reality.
[39:55] ---
    Drive.
[40:07] ---
    The lieutenant colonel came
    to you to blow the whistle.
[40:10] ---
    Didn't he, Mr. Sadamoto,
    Vice-Minister of Defense?
[40:14] ---
    Yes.
[40:15] ---
    But you ordered a cover-up.
[40:17] ---
    Because it couldn't be made public!
[40:19] ---
    We ignored treaties and sold arms to
    Third World countries during the war
[40:22] ---
    to relieve its financial burden on us.
[40:25] ---
    That's governmental weapons smuggling!
[40:28] ---
    --Harimadara was at the center of it,
    and as their security official,
    --Vice-Minister, what's the matter?
[40:31] ---
    --Lt. Col. Mamuro found out
    about the illegal trade.
    --Vice-Minister!
[40:34] ---
    What is it?
[40:35] ---
    --Do you realize how much
    --He's in danger!
[40:37] ---
    the missile business has helped
    our country's finances?!
[40:40] ---
    The lieutenant colonel learned of
    your cover-up and investigated.
[40:42] ---
    The prostitute you frequented.
    The Ranger who escorted you.
[40:46] ---
    When he got info from them,
    he decided to blow the whistle on you.
[40:50] ---
    So you ordered Captain Kanzaki to kill him.
[40:54] ---
    I just ordered him to solve the situation!
[40:56] ---
    Yes, a few people suffered, but I
    don't know who killed Mamuro.
[41:01] ---
    Hell, maybe he really was mugged.
[41:04] ---
    You claim even you don't know?
[41:06] ---
    No, and I don't want to!
[41:08] ---
    That arms dealing will be purged
    during restructuring anyway,
[41:11] ---
    and we're deliberating next-generation
    weapons to replace missiles.
[41:15] ---
    But this mess kills the job Harimadara
    has lined up for when I leave office!
[41:20] ---
    You're quite the chatterbox.
    A desire to confess?
[41:23] ---
    Maybe so. Either way, you'll never tell anyone!
[41:35] ---
    Stop!
[41:39] ---
    Someone help!
[41:52] ---
    Should've blown him away.
[41:54] ---
    Wasn't being more than a killing
    machine the whole point of getting out?
[41:59] ---
    In the end, I had no place to go.
[42:02] ---
    They traced us through the
    remote control. They're coming.
[42:06] ---
    You go on. They're mine.
[42:10] ---
    There are two of them.
[42:11] ---
    Fine with me. We'll see who's the better killer.
[42:17] ---
    Take care.
[42:19] ---
    You too.
[42:21] ---
    I hate to say it, but they're not the
    only ones to benefit from his death.
[42:28] ---
    Yes. Thank you.
[43:35] ---
    You're the ones who killed
    the lieutenant colonel!
[44:09] ---
    I warned you that if you stepped
    out of line, I'd take you out.
[45:53] ---
    That's enough of that.
[46:00] ---
    You've reached your limit, Kusanagi.
[46:11] ---
    Raizo and Ibachi were luring the
    enemy here with the money as bait.
[46:17] ---
    We've eliminated six spies.
[46:20] ---
    That's plenty.
[46:22] ---
    Kanzaki funneled money into Mamuro's
    account, I moved it... and you used it.
[46:29] ---
    That's right.
[46:31] ---
    The gun used on the prostitute was
    the beginning of the enemy plot.
[46:36] ---
    Blowing up the Ranger, the phony bribery...
    All the blame was placed on Mamuro.
[46:47] ---
    And he intended to bring the
    Vice-Minister down with him.
[46:51] ---
    It was the worst possible choice.
[46:53] ---
    Unit 501 would have gone on the Army
    purge list in retaliation for the scandal.
[47:00] ---
    So you let him die. All of you.
[47:24] ---
    If it weren't for the memory virus,
    maybe we could have saved him.
[47:29] ---
    But as things stood,
    the only option was to secure
[47:32] ---
    Mamuro's cyberbrain, the mine,
    and the money before he got blown up.
[47:43] ---
    But what neither we nor the
    enemy accounted for was you.
[47:50] ---
    As soon as I arrived and got the data,
    I went after the lieutenant colonel.
[48:08] ---
    And you were infected by his cyberbrain.
[48:24] ---
    Even as you gathered the evidence,
    you were continually losing memories.
[48:30] ---
    "The LTC is innocent"
[48:34] ---
    What organization developed the virus?
[48:37] ---
    Unclear. All we know is that a
    foreign broker brought it here
[48:41] ---
    and that people call it "Fire-Starter."
[48:45] ---
    Was it a foreign power
    that cooked up the scandal?
[48:49] ---
    Our enemy is the global
    military-industrial complex itself.
[48:52] ---
    What would dragging down
    one vice-minister accomplish?
[48:55] ---
    Did you take the disc he left me?
[48:59] ---
    I did that to protect you.
[49:01] ---
    You used me as bait for the enemy!
[49:03] ---
    I did that to protect the organization.
[49:05] ---
    Why did you stand back and watch him die?
[49:08] ---
    I did that to protect myself.
[49:19] ---
    You stick with me, Kusanagi.
    I'll build a future for you.
[49:34] ---
    The pain is gone now.
[49:41] ---
    Section 9 and the review committee
[49:44] ---
    have formally cleared
    Lt. Col. Mamuro of suspicion.
[49:47] ---
    Thus, as his recommendation was renewed
    by a third party, we will implement it.
[49:52] ---
    Due to your excellent record, we also grant
    you the post-reorganization major rank.
[49:57] ---
    In addition, in accordance with
    the will of your late legal guardian,
[50:01] ---
    you'll receive a testamentary trust.
[50:04] ---
    It's an inheritance from
    the person who raised you.
[50:07] ---
    A portion of it is earmarked for the
    purchase of your prosthetic body.
[50:10] ---
    Which means that your
    body is now your property,
[50:13] ---
    and is outside Army jurisdiction.
[50:18] ---
    You're quite sure about this?
[50:20] ---
    The virus may be an unknown,
[50:22] ---
    but we've identified the
    architecture of the false memories.
[50:25] ---
    Do it.
[50:27] ---
    Very well. We'll attempt memory eradication.
[51:18] ---
    Will you go?
[51:19] ---
    Yes.
[51:21] ---
    Make sure to pay your respects to your parents.
[51:25] ---
    Thanks.
[51:35] ---
    I'm going.
[51:58] ---
    We'll find a replacement.
[52:08] ---
    Want a ride?
[52:10] ---
    Consider it my thanks for telling us
    the location of Mamuro's cyberbrain.
[52:13] ---
    I'll take the bus.
[52:15] ---
    Then I'll just give you the results.
[52:17] ---
    Captain Kanzaki was replaced.
    Mr. Sadamoto will be tried in closed court.
[52:21] ---
    I promise to make the lieutenant
    colonel's findings public one day.
[52:26] ---
    I see. By the way--are you the one
    he gave my recommendation to?
[52:32] ---
    Hard to say. A man in my
    position gets a lot of those.
[52:36] ---
    In fact, one of them outlined plans
[52:38] ---
    to create a new special unit within
    the international rescue team.
[52:43] ---
    I'd like someone who's got
    experience as a special consultant.
[52:48] ---
    Intriguing, but I don't want to work under
    a man who digs up people's graves.
[52:53] ---
    You dug up something even deeper.
[52:57] ---
    If you're serious about going independent,
    you should have your own team.
[53:01] ---
    The regulations say a unit needs a minimum
    of one commander and six members.
[53:09] ---
    I'll keep that in mind.
[53:12] ---
    May it be a team not for defense of self
    or state, but for taking the offensive.
