[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...
[00:26] ---
    Don't open that coffin!
[00:29] ---
    Why did you authorize
    Public Security's involvement?!
[00:31] ---
    Unit 501 should be investigating this!
[00:34] ---
    But this is clearly related to the LTC's mugging!
[00:38] ---
    Just because you were Mamuro's favorite!
[00:41] ---
    Were you the ones who killed Lt. Col. Mamuro?
[00:45] ---
    Maneuver Area 6.
[00:47] ---
    All that's left is to connect the dots...
[00:53] ---
    Arms, fingers, legs, nails
[00:58] ---
    Ears, nose, mouth, hair
[01:03] ---
    What are you?
[01:10] ---
    You'll wake up back where you started
[01:16] ---
    Now you're still in your usual dream
[01:21] ---
    A touch, and this world vanishes
    and takes you with it
[01:33] ---
    Something reveals itself
    after everything else disappears
[01:44] ---
    Look, all the old rules have been scrapped
[01:57] ---
    In this new world,
    something keeps you yourself
[02:08] ---
    It's what's yours, what you're
    doing to yourself, for yourself
[02:20] ---
    Maneuver Area 6
[02:22] ---
    Look, I've got authorization!
[02:24] ---
    And all I'm gonna do is ask questions!
[02:27] ---
    Take your complaints to the station.
[02:29] ---
    Where does he get off? It ain't like
    I've never been deployed, dammit...
[02:35] ---
    This is bullshit! They're not even he--
[02:40] ---
    Ah, sorry. I'm a special investigator
    with the Niihama police.
[02:44] ---
    I was told I could find these two here.
[02:47] ---
    Thanks. You just connected some dots.
[02:51] ---
    And I see some others just connected.
    How about showing yourself?
[03:04] ---
    Long time no see. Gotta say I
    didn't figure you for this one.
[03:09] ---
    Batou the Ranger?
[03:31] ---
    I've told you your sleepless eye's
    weakness is how easy it is to infiltrate.
[03:37] ---
    So, why are you after me?
[03:39] ---
    Don't play dumb!
[03:41] ---
    You're the one who got this
    place's mobile land mines!
[03:48] ---
    What the hell?!
[03:56] ---
    Wait!
[03:58] ---
    Don't shoot! Run!
[04:10] ---
    Don't!
[04:36] ---
    Ghost Pain, Part 2
[04:43] ---
    Those guys aren't with you?!
[04:45] ---
    Seriously, what are you talking about?
[04:47] ---
    Hey, look!
[04:53] ---
    They found us!
[04:55] ---
    They want to eliminate us here.
[04:57] ---
    And their excuse will be a
    "training exercise accident"?
[05:07] ---
    Now we climb!
[05:08] ---
    Climb this?!
[05:09] ---
    Damn straight!
[05:11] ---
    We'll hold them off, so get moving!
[05:14] ---
    Okay, fine.
[05:15] ---
    Hello!
[05:16] ---
    What's that?!
[05:19] ---
    We're surrounded.
[05:31] ---
    Get in!
[05:52] ---
    I thought you couldn't drop your job?
[05:54] ---
    This makes a nice change of pace.
[06:12] ---
    You asked the military police for help?
[06:16] ---
    To escort a suspect.
[06:19] ---
    What's this about?
[06:24] ---
    Firstly: the missing money went
    to your account, Major Kusanagi.
[06:30] ---
    Secondly: the bullet you fired on
    the mobile land mine at the graveyard
[06:34] ---
    matched the one that killed Lt. Col. Mamuro.
[06:37] ---
    Seven days ago, a prostitute
    here in town was shot to death.
[06:42] ---
    The bullet matched the one that killed Mamuro.
[06:44] ---
    Mamuro had met with her,
    and according to the other working girls,
[06:48] ---
    he was asking questions
    about one of her clients.
[06:51] ---
    Seven days ago, one of my fellow Rangers
[06:55] ---
    was killed by a mobile land mine,
    along with his family.
[07:00] ---
    He'd been in contact with Mamuro, too.
[07:04] ---
    And when I traced the land mine to its source,
    it led me to the major here.
[07:09] ---
    By the way, she says she got
    back to Japan three days ago,
[07:12] ---
    but Immigration records
    say it was seven days ago.
[07:15] ---
    My group was supposed to use three mines.
[07:18] ---
    Assuming one of those three was
    buried and another killed the Ranger,
[07:22] ---
    there's one more left unaccounted for.
[07:24] ---
    At the moment, all the clues
    point to you murdering Mamuro
[07:29] ---
    and stealing his money.
[07:32] ---
    I'm sorry, Major Kusanagi. I doubt
    I'll be in this world much longer.
[07:38] ---
    I wanted to get justice.
[07:41] ---
    I've left your recommendation
    in someone else's care.
[07:45] ---
    You're the most promising squad
    member I know. I wish you luck.
[07:51] ---
    In the case, I found data on an
    internal weapons exportation racket...
[07:57] ---
    ...and this gun.
[07:58] ---
    You've moved a lot of money
    in the past few days.
[08:03] ---
    Who are you sending it to?
[08:05] ---
    The widow of the man who raised me.
[08:09] ---
    She's taken care of me since I was little,
    but she's in a nursing home now.
[08:14] ---
    What's her name?
[08:18] ---
    What is this woman's name?
[08:31] ---
    This is surveillance footage
    from Maneuver Area 6.
[08:34] ---
    Your subordinate is in it.
[08:37] ---
    If you refuse to hand her over,
[08:39] ---
    I'll present you with a summons
    signed by the Defense Minister himself.
[08:42] ---
    I'll submit a written report at a
    later date. I can't hand her over.
[08:47] ---
    Vixen.
[08:49] ---
    I'll make you regret this.
[08:57] ---
    That's Shujiro Kanzaki.
    He's in charge of Maneuver Area 6,
[09:01] ---
    and he leads a team of special agents.
[09:04] ---
    He's also the Army's dirty go-between
    with the Ministry of Defense.
[09:07] ---
    Don't worry. I'll protect you.
[09:14] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:17] ---
    It's nothing.
[09:32] ---
    It's been empty from the beginning?
    Then where's the gun?!
[09:37] ---
    Why did I think there were
    whistle-blowing documents in it?!
[09:41] ---
    And the lieutenant colonel...?
[09:55] ---
    What's real? What's the truth?
[10:06] ---
    Logicoma, synch with me.
[10:08] ---
    Are you sure?
[10:09] ---
    Just get on with it. Record my field
    of vision and play it back in real time.
[10:15] ---
    Roger!
[10:19] ---
    I see things that shouldn't be there.
[10:22] ---
    I don't see things that should be there.
[10:44] ---
    Here, the whole time...?
[10:48] ---
    Special agent
    The LTC is innocent
[11:02] ---
    Where's Mamuro's cyberbrain?
[11:06] ---
    The hardware Kurutsu had me analyze
    matched his Net synch pattern.
[11:12] ---
    He and I were infected with
    the same virus, weren't we?
[11:16] ---
    With something hypothesized
    to be a cyber-virus.
[11:18] ---
    We speculate that it's a
    self-destructing Stuxnet-type
[11:21] ---
    which causes unknown dysfunction.
[11:24] ---
    "Unknown dysfunction"...
    You mean false memories.
[11:28] ---
    Route of transmission?
[11:29] ---
    It must have been contact
    with Mamuro's cyberbrain.
[11:32] ---
    Which is still with his prosthetic body.
[11:36] ---
    His coffin was a trap.
[11:39] ---
    And the records Public Security got of
    his burial show no signs of tampering.
[11:45] ---
    So that's how it is...
[11:58] ---
    The records weren't tampered with.
[12:00] ---
    They just buried the truth under a lie.
[12:39] ---
    I've found it...
[12:42] ---
    My reality.
[12:53] ---
    Drive.
[13:04] ---
    The lieutenant colonel came
    to you to blow the whistle.
[13:08] ---
    Didn't he, Mr. Sadamoto,
    Vice-Minister of Defense?
[13:12] ---
    Yes.
[13:13] ---
    But you ordered a cover-up.
[13:15] ---
    Because it couldn't be made public!
[13:17] ---
    We ignored treaties and sold arms to
    Third World countries during the war
[13:21] ---
    to relieve its financial burden on us.
[13:23] ---
    That's governmental weapons smuggling!
[13:26] ---
    The lieutenant colonel learned
    of your cover-up and investigated.
[13:29] ---
    The prostitute you frequented.
    The Ranger who escorted you.
[13:33] ---
    When he got info from them,
    he decided to blow the whistle on you.
[13:36] ---
    So you ordered Captain Kanzaki to kill him.
[13:40] ---
    I just ordered him to solve the situation!
[13:43] ---
    Yes, a few people suffered,
    but I don't know who killed Mamuro.
[13:48] ---
    Hell, maybe he really was mugged.
[13:50] ---
    You claim even you don't know?
[14:00] ---
    Stop!
[14:03] ---
    Someone help!
[14:09] ---
    Should've blown him away.
[14:11] ---
    Wasn't being more than a killing machine
    the whole point of getting out?
[14:16] ---
    They traced us through the
    remote control. They're coming.
[14:20] ---
    You go on. They're mine.
[14:23] ---
    There are two of them.
[14:25] ---
    Fine with me. We'll see who's the better killer.
[14:31] ---
    Take care.
[14:33] ---
    You too.
[14:35] ---
    I hate to say it, but they're not the
    only ones to benefit from his death.
[15:36] ---
    You're the ones who killed
    the lieutenant colonel!
[17:07] ---
    That's enough of that.
[17:13] ---
    You've reached your limit, Kusanagi.
[17:24] ---
    Raizo and Ibachi were luring the
    enemy here with the money as bait.
[17:30] ---
    We've eliminated six spies.
[17:33] ---
    That's plenty.
[17:35] ---
    Kanzaki funneled money into Mamuro's
    account, I moved it... and you used it.
[17:42] ---
    That's right.
[17:44] ---
    The gun used on the prostitute was
    the beginning of the enemy plot.
[17:49] ---
    Blowing up the Ranger, the phony bribery...
    All the blame was placed on Mamuro.
[18:00] ---
    And he intended to bring the
    Vice-Minister down with him.
[18:04] ---
    Unit 501 would have gone on the Army
    purge list in retaliation for the scandal.
[18:11] ---
    So you let him die. All of you.
[18:36] ---
    If it weren't for the memory virus,
    maybe we could have saved him.
[18:40] ---
    But as things stood,
    the only option was to secure
[18:44] ---
    Mamuro's cyberbrain, the mine,
    and the money before he got blown up.
[18:54] ---
    But what neither we nor the
    enemy accounted for was you.
[19:01] ---
    As soon as I arrived and got the data,
    I went after the lieutenant colonel.
[19:21] ---
    And you were infected by his cyberbrain.
[19:33] ---
    Even as you gathered the evidence,
    you were continually losing memories.
[19:41] ---
    The LTC is innocent
[19:43] ---
    What organization developed the virus?
[19:46] ---
    Unclear. All we know is that a
    foreign broker brought it here
[19:50] ---
    and that people call it "Fire-Starter."
[19:54] ---
    Was it a foreign power
    that cooked up the scandal?
[19:58] ---
    Our enemy is the global
    military-industrial complex itself.
[20:01] ---
    What would dragging down
    one vice-minister accomplish?
[20:04] ---
    Did you take the disc he left me?
[20:08] ---
    I did that to protect you.
[20:10] ---
    You used me as bait for the enemy!
[20:12] ---
    I did that to protect the organization.
[20:14] ---
    Why did you stand back and watch him die?
[20:17] ---
    I did that to protect myself.
[20:28] ---
    You stick with me, Kusanagi.
    I'll build a future for you.
[20:39] ---
    The pain is gone now.
[20:46] ---
    Section 9 and the review committee
[20:48] ---
    have formally cleared
    Lt. Col. Mamuro of suspicion.
[20:52] ---
    Thus, as his recommendation was renewed
    by a third party, we will implement it.
[20:57] ---
    Due to your excellent record, we also grant
    you the post-reorganization major rank.
[21:01] ---
    In addition, in accordance with
    the will of your late legal guardian,
[21:05] ---
    you'll receive a testamentary trust.
[21:09] ---
    It's an inheritance from
    the person who raised you.
[21:12] ---
    A portion of it is earmarked for
    the purchase of your prosthetic body.
[21:14] ---
    Which means that your body
    is now your property,
[21:17] ---
    and is outside Army jurisdiction.
[21:22] ---
    You're quite sure about this?
[21:25] ---
    The virus may be an unknown,
[21:26] ---
    but we've identified the architecture
    of the false memories.
[21:29] ---
    Do it.
[21:31] ---
    Very well. We'll attempt memory eradication.
[22:41] ---
    Want a ride?
[22:43] ---
    Consider it my thanks for telling us
    the location of Mamuro's cyberbrain.
[22:47] ---
    I'll take the bus.
[22:48] ---
    Then I'll just give you the results.
[22:50] ---
    Captain Kanzaki was replaced.
    Mr. Sadamoto will be tried in closed court.
[22:55] ---
    I promise to make the lieutenant
    colonel's findings public one day.
[22:59] ---
    I see. By the way--are you the one
    he gave my recommendation to?
[23:06] ---
    Hard to say. A man in my
    position gets a lot of those.
[23:10] ---
    In fact, one of them outlined plans
[23:12] ---
    to create a new special unit
    within the international rescue team.
[23:17] ---
    I'd like someone who's got experience
    being a special consultant.
[23:22] ---
    Intriguing, but I don't want to work
    under a man who digs up people's graves.
[23:27] ---
    You dug up something even deeper.
[23:31] ---
    If you're serious about going independent,
    you should have your own team.
[23:34] ---
    The regulations say a unit needs a minimum
    of one commander and six members.
[23:43] ---
    I'll keep that in mind.
[23:46] ---
    May it be a team not for defense of self
    or state, but for taking the offensive.
[23:55] ---
    The war hero Colonel Soga
    and his old Ranger unit!
[23:58] ---
    What? Mr. Batou is one of the enemy?!
[24:00] ---
    Can they stop the traffic domination?
[24:02] ---
    Surprise! The key to the secret lies within me!
[24:05] ---
