[00:18] ---
    A near future not quite so informatized
    that nations and races have disappeared,
[00:21] ---
    though corporate Nets have covered the planet
    and electrons and light stream everywhere...
[00:28] ---
    Arms, fingers, legs, nails
[00:33] ---
    Ears, nose, mouth, hair
[00:38] ---
    What are you?
[00:45] ---
    You'll wake up back where you started
[00:51] ---
    Now you're still in your usual dream
[00:56] ---
    A touch, and this world vanishes
    and takes you with it
[01:08] ---
    Something reveals itself
    after everything else disappears
[01:19] ---
    Look, all the old rules have been scrapped
[01:31] ---
    In this new world,
    something keeps you yourself
[01:43] ---
    It's what's yours, what you're
    doing to yourself, for yourself
[02:33] ---
    This is from your unit.
[02:54] ---
    Ghost Pain, Part 1
[03:10] ---
    I'm amazed we got permission
    to exhume the body.
[03:13] ---
    It's backward. They disregarded our
    investigation by burying him to begin with.
[03:17] ---
    Yes, sir. Still, a military cemetery...
[03:21] ---
    It's ridiculously expensive to dispose of
    a prosthetic body that can't be reused.
[03:26] ---
    Thanks to their cost-cutting,
    we can recover the cyberbrain.
[03:29] ---
    Where are the engineers?
[03:32] ---
    Drawing straws at HQ.
[03:34] ---
    Apparently, connecting to a dead
    criminal's cyberbrain is "creepy."
[03:38] ---
    We don't know yet that he's a criminal.
[03:40] ---
    Chief Aramaki!
[03:42] ---
    We'll check the contents,
    then take it back to headquarters.
[03:51] ---
    What are you waiting for? Put it down!
[03:55] ---
    Sorry, sir!
[03:57] ---
    Don't open that coffin!
[04:12] ---
    Are you military?
[04:17] ---
    I'm Aramaki, with Public Security Section 9.
[04:20] ---
    We're investigating
    Lieutenant Colonel Mamuro's murder.
[04:22] ---
    I'm seizing his cyberbrain
    and prosthetic body as evidence.
[04:27] ---
    You knew him?
[04:28] ---
    Yes, back when I was an Army man.
[04:31] ---
    There's not a soldier in the world
    more squeaky-clean than he was.
[04:39] ---
    Your name and unit?
[04:43] ---
    Major Motoko Kusanagi, Unit 501.
[04:49] ---
    501? So you were his subordinate.
[04:55] ---
    Open it up.
[04:57] ---
    Can I ask your rank?
[04:59] ---
    I was in the old
    Investigations Section. That's all.
[05:02] ---
    They sold off whatever wouldn't
    fit in the coffin to a junk shop.
[05:18] ---
    That's not his body!
[05:44] ---
    Get down!
[06:33] ---
    Finally back on base, you delinquent?
[06:36] ---
    Why did you authorize
    Public Security's involvement?!
[06:39] ---
    Since I can't dismiss the possibility that
    Mamuro was corrupt, I had no choice.
[06:44] ---
    Unit 501 should be investigating this!
[06:48] ---
    The higher-ups told us to stay out of it.
[06:52] ---
    Someone set a trap at his grave.
[06:54] ---
    Ignore it.
[06:55] ---
    His cyberbrain is gone!
[06:58] ---
    This isn't the time to stir up a hornet's nest.
[07:01] ---
    Then you believe that he
    was taking dirty money?
[07:04] ---
    He got mugged downtown. That much is fact.
[07:08] ---
    Not an honorable death, but compared
    to indictment, maybe he got lucky.
[07:14] ---
    Thanks to him, our letters of
    recommendation are on hold, too.
[07:17] ---
    Concentrate on your work for now.
[07:20] ---
    Work?
[07:22] ---
    I distinctly remember asking you
    to analyze that infected hardware.
[07:27] ---
    Not possible. I just got back
    to Japan today, you know.
[08:39] ---
    Giichi Mamuro, member of
    a special unit of the GSDA,
[08:42] ---
    was murdered on the fifth of this month.
[08:45] ---
    Niihama police say the investigation
    into his possible corruption is ongoing.
[08:48] ---
    Lieutenant Colonel Mamuro is
    suspected of taking large bribes
[08:50] ---
    while serving as a security official
    in Harimadara's weapons export--
[09:05] ---
    Access records of his
    movements the day of his death
[09:08] ---
    and all data from city surveillance cameras.
[09:32] ---
    He was tailed.
[09:33] ---
    Scan anyone who traveled the same
    route he did before time of death.
[09:43] ---
    Three...
[09:54] ---
    A fourth?
[10:07] ---
    Three men and a mobile
    land mine were following him?
[10:23] ---
    Funds transferred.
[10:28] ---
    What is this?
[10:32] ---
    Any pain?
[10:34] ---
    Not right now, no.
[10:36] ---
    It's similar to the phantom pain
    particular to cyborgs,
[10:39] ---
    but that shouldn't affect you.
[10:42] ---
    Could be a bad contact in
    your nervous components.
[10:44] ---
    Any other abnormalities?
[10:49] ---
    No.
[10:50] ---
    We should do a full-body checkup to be safe.
[10:53] ---
    Thank you, but I have a meeting to go to.
[11:02] ---
    As both a Special Cyborg
[11:04] ---
    Ministry of Defense
[11:04] ---
    and a recognized wizard-class programmer,
[11:07] ---
    new regulations apply to you
[11:09] ---
    under the revised Weapons Act.
[11:10] ---
    The Prosthetics Maintenance Rule
    now applies to issuing identification,
[11:15] ---
    possessing cash, opening bank accounts,
    or other ownership of assets.
[11:20] ---
    In Lt. Col. Mamuro's letter
    on my reclassification,
[11:23] ---
    he guaranteed my financial autonomy.
[11:26] ---
    If he's proven corrupt,
    he'll receive a dishonorable discharge,
[11:30] ---
    and all such documents will be void.
[11:33] ---
    You expect me to endure a position
[11:34] ---
    where I have to file paperwork
    every time I open my wallet?
[11:38] ---
    The cost of prosthetic bodies far exceeds
    standard health insurance payouts.
[11:42] ---
    You ought to do your duty to the government
    which guarantees your right to life.
[11:46] ---
    This is the consent form for your
    monitoring and custody post-restructuring.
[11:50] ---
    Make an effort to understand
    your circumstances.
[12:01] ---
    During the war,
    Japan allocated a sky-high budget
[12:04] ---
    to promoting cyborg development.
[12:07] ---
    Did they tell you to become
    Army property to foot the bill?
[12:12] ---
    There were large deposits
    made to Mamuro's accounts.
[12:15] ---
    But after his murder,
    someone withdrew all that money.
[12:21] ---
    What do you want?
[12:23] ---
    Major Kusanagi, of Unit 501.
    No criminal record.
[12:28] ---
    You work with the Army and Public
    Security as a special consultant.
[12:32] ---
    You specialize in solving cybercrimes.
[12:42] ---
    I request that you track down the missing
    money and analyze the coffin records.
[12:47] ---
    I'll give you the regular
    consulting fee, as a civilian.
[12:51] ---
    That'll be an issue, you know.
[12:53] ---
    A soldier famous for his integrity being
    shot to death in secret is a bigger issue.
[13:08] ---
    Tomorrow morning, I'll send you a
    liaison who'll double as a bodyguard.
[13:21] ---
    Still don't want the 501 to investigate?
[13:24] ---
    Make one wrong move,
    and our unit could get dissolved.
[13:27] ---
    Public Security offered me an assignment.
[13:30] ---
    Will you accept?
[13:31] ---
    Lend me a hand.
[13:32] ---
    If you can't get it done alone,
    you'll be at the end of the line.
[13:36] ---
    No one else will be able to protect you then.
[13:39] ---
    Being protected isn't
    what I learned to do here!
[13:42] ---
    I learned to make the most of my strengths!
[13:47] ---
    I'll grant permission for you to use Server 6.
[13:50] ---
    Thanks.
[13:52] ---
    Just don't forget the job I gave you.
[14:02] ---
    List the people working on the case.
[14:05] ---
    But this is clearly related to the LTC's mugging!
[14:08] ---
    We know he met up with the prostitute.
    We need a warrant for her cust--
[14:12] ---
    It's military jurisdiction! You keep out of it!
[14:16] ---
    You just forget this case,
    you hear me? That's an order!
[14:23] ---
    Then what's a special investigator
    even for, dammit?!
[14:28] ---
    Mamuro was being followed.
[14:32] ---
    What?!
[14:53] ---
    Hey!
[14:54] ---
    St-Stop right there!
[15:13] ---
    There you are!
[15:24] ---
    Well, if it isn't the little tomboy from the lab.
[15:33] ---
    The one who infiltrated me... is in that car...!
[15:43] ---
    You fool! That makes you a deserter!
[15:50] ---
    Stop, Raizo!
[15:52] ---
    You all right, Kusanagi?
[15:54] ---
    Instructor Ibachi...
[15:56] ---
    Don't think you can do whatever you want
    just because you were Mamuro's favorite!
[16:01] ---
    Your selfish actions put
    the whole unit in danger!
[16:04] ---
    That's enough! I'll be the one to lecture her.
[16:14] ---
    The number is a fake. He's a slippery customer.
[16:17] ---
    We've proven there was an infiltrator, at least.
[16:21] ---
    What does Kurutsu say?
[16:22] ---
    "Ignore it."
[16:26] ---
    Is your prosthetic body acting up?
[16:30] ---
    I don't know.
[16:31] ---
    Goodness, another visitor.
[16:33] ---
    You've got a strange one here to see you.
[16:40] ---
    What is this?
[16:46] ---
    It uses signal lights? How old is this thing?
[16:52] ---
    Come with me.
[17:00] ---
    Construct your learning base yourself.
[17:10] ---
    Hello, nice to meet you!
[17:12] ---
    I'm an autonomous-follower logistics system,
    a "Logistics Conveyer Machine."
[17:18] ---
    You're Section 9's "liaison
    who'll double as a bodyguard"?
[17:22] ---
    Chief Aramaki calls me a "Logicoma"!
[17:25] ---
    You'll be receiving information
    through me, Major Kusanagi.
[17:30] ---
    No synching. Explain things orally or as data.
[17:34] ---
    Um... Any Army case information on the
    group identified as illicit arms dealers
[17:40] ---
    would be very useful to Chief Aramaki
    in tracking down a mobile land mine!
[17:44] ---
    The Army? Arms dealers?
[17:47] ---
    Yes, sir!
[17:52] ---
    You disappear. I'll take it from here.
[17:54] ---
    Order acknowledged!
[17:59] ---
    Optical camouflage?
[18:12] ---
    Hi there!
[18:14] ---
    Come on in.
[18:15] ---
    It's not even dinnertime, and this
    guy's three sheets to the wind!
[18:18] ---
    Get him something cold, okay?
[18:20] ---
    Come on, get it together! Sit straight!
[18:40] ---
    There.
[18:48] ---
    Warning! Warning!
[18:49] ---
    Someone approaching, extremely close!
[18:55] ---
    Don't move. Who sent you?!
[19:16] ---
    Were you the ones who killed Lt. Col. Mamuro?
[19:19] ---
    Huh? Are you Public Security?
[19:21] ---
    Answer me!
[19:22] ---
    First you check the Army database!
    Code 24, Ops H2976...
[19:28] ---
    ...code name Paz!
[19:32] ---
    You're undercover?!
[19:34] ---
    Yeah, the group I'm in with was hired for a hit.
[19:39] ---
    They said the target was a full cyborg
[19:40] ---
    and his cyberbrain had to be destroyed,
    so we'd use mobile land mines.
[19:43] ---
    Three of 'em--and I'm talking military-grade.
[19:47] ---
    Lt. Col. Mamuro's murder?
[19:49] ---
    Who knows? Apparently
    somebody beat our guys to it,
[19:53] ---
    and we let the mines get away.
[19:55] ---
    Where did the mines come from?
[19:58] ---
    Maneuver Area 6.
[20:00] ---
    That place is a joke. Might as well
    set foxes to guard a henhouse.
[20:06] ---
    Feel like proving it with me?
[20:11] ---
    This ain't the best job, but I can't just drop it.
[20:14] ---
    I'd be in danger, and I'd
    cause trouble for my CO.
[20:20] ---
    I see.
[20:23] ---
    Thanks for your cooperation.
[20:26] ---
    I wish I had your freedom of movement.
[20:50] ---
    Maneuver Area 6
[21:06] ---
    Their security's a joke, all right.
[21:26] ---
    All that's left is to connect the dots...
[21:29] ---
    Look, I've got authorization!
    And all I'm gonna do is ask questions!
[21:33] ---
    Take your complaints to the station.
[21:36] ---
    Where does he get off? It ain't like
    I've never been deployed, dammit...
[21:47] ---
    This is bullshit! They're not even he--
[21:52] ---
    Ah, sorry. I'm a special investigator
    with the Niihama police.
[21:56] ---
    I was told I could find these two here.
[21:59] ---
    I have some questions for
    First Lieutenant Moto Seta
[22:01] ---
    and Captain Amuri Noto here--
[22:04] ---
    Thanks. You just connected some dots.
[22:08] ---
    And I see some others just connected.
    How about showing yourself?
[22:20] ---
    Long time no see. Gotta say I
    didn't figure you for this one.
[22:25] ---
    (mem mem mem mem)
[22:28] ---
    (memories memories)
[22:31] ---
    (memories memories memories)
[22:34] ---
    (my memories my memories my memories)
[22:37] ---
    Fragmented memories
[22:50] ---
    Here flowers (here birds); this is the sky
[23:01] ---
    Clouds, grass, the house I grew up in
[23:07] ---
    I search (and search) through the photos
[23:16] ---
    But I'm nowhere to be found
[23:24] ---
    Why am I not there? Why am I not there?
    Why am I not there? Why am I not there?
[23:33] ---
    Why am I not there?
    Why am I not there?
[23:37] ---
    Why am I not there? Why am I not there?
    Why am I not there? Why am I not there?
[23:46] ---
    Why am I not there?
    Why am I not there?
[23:51] ---
    Why am I not there?
[23:55] ---
    Who killed Lt. Col. Mamuro?
[23:57] ---
    Who are you, you jerk?!
[23:59] ---
    The money trail, the bullets, the land mines--
    it all leads back to Major Kusanagi.
[24:03] ---
    The Major did it?!
[24:05] ---
