**[01:45] ---**
*I wonder...*
**[01:48] ---**
*I ask myself again and
again if l made the right choice.*
**[01:53] ---**
*I already know that I'm going to hell.
I've made my peace with that.*
**[01:58] ---**
*But l wonder if it's necessary to
drag you down to hell with me...*
**[02:05] ---**
*Even if this is what
you yourself asked for...*
**[02:27] ---**
How terrible. What's
the extent of the damage?
**[02:30] ---**
Nine researchers are dead or
missing, including Dr. Tokioka.
**[02:36] ---**
The three Necrolyzes that went out
of control are completely destroyed.
**[02:40] ---**
The lab equipment is totally useless, too.
**[02:43] ---**
Boss, is this an accident, or...?
**[02:47] ---**
It doesn't matter, does it?
**[02:50] ---**
Either way, there was a
flaw in this research.
**[02:54] ---**
Who are you?
**[02:55] ---**
I'm an R&D member, Laguna Glock.
**[02:59] ---**
Could you explain what you just said?
**[03:02] ---**
The necrolyzation process that
Dr. Tokioka has been studying...
**[03:06] ---**
is a system which reanimates
the dead, just as the name suggests.
**[03:09] ---**
But when l thoroughly reviewed the system,
l discovered that it was more effective...
**[03:14] ---**
to use it on a living person,
rather than a dead person.
**[03:18] ---**
In other words, Dr. Tokioka was deliberately
making the study more difficult than necessary.
**[03:26] ---**
If you put me in charge of the study,
l will create cutting-edge Necrolyzes,
**[03:31] ---**
or better yet, completely
new soldiers for Millennion.
**[03:40] ---**
All right. Give it a try.
**[03:42] ---**
I don't care how much money you spend.
**[03:45] ---**
Produce the best results in
the shortest possible time.
**[03:49] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[03:56] ---**
Are you sure?
**[03:57] ---**
Yeah. I can tell from his eyes.
**[04:01] ---**
His eyes?
**[04:04] ---**
He has the eyes of a man who would sell
his soul to Satan to achieve his goals.
**[04:40] ---**
It's been 15 long years since we last saw
each other, and you ask me for favors...
**[04:42] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[04:46] ---**
The money you asked me for is in the trunk.
**[04:49] ---**
Good.
**[04:52] ---**
Are you leaving town?
**[04:54] ---**
That's my plan. But there is
something l have to do before that.
**[04:59] ---**
I have to deliver this case and a letter...
**[05:03] ---**
To Big Daddy, the boss of Millennion.
**[05:06] ---**
To my master?!
**[05:08] ---**
Big brother...?
**[05:10] ---**
You say you have a letter for my master?
**[05:13] ---**
Wait, are you saying that you...
**[05:21] ---**
*"Dear Big Daddy,*
**[05:24] ---**
*The fact that you are reading this letter
means l no longer exist in this world.*
**[05:31] ---**
*But that may be part of destiny as well.
Please let me confess now in this letter.*
**[05:41] ---**
*I knew everything that my best
friend, Harry MacDowel, was doing.*
**[05:48] ---**
*I knew that he had been wielding his power
behind the scenes in the Organization...*
**[05:51] ---**
*and strengthening
the influence of his clique.*
**[05:55] ---**
*And the fact that he was pursuing
the study of reviving the dead.*
**[05:59] ---**
*Though l knew it all, l remained
silent... l didn't report it to you.*
**[06:05] ---**
*I had a reason.*
**[06:07] ---**
*If what Harry was doing would benefit the
Organization, l thought it was all right.*
**[06:14] ---**
*I want to believe Harry MacDowel.
I wanted to believe my best friend."*
**[06:22] ---**
*Brandon...*
**[06:25] ---**
If he were to disrupt the
harmony within Millennion...
**[06:30] ---**
Harry MacDowel will not turn traitor.
Never!
**[06:35] ---**
But anyone who breaches the Code of Iron
of the Organization will not be forgiven.
**[06:41] ---**
No matter who he is.
**[06:46] ---**
*That day, you already knew...*
**[06:50] ---**
*And you were mentally
prepared to go to these lengths...*
**[06:58] ---**
Harry... l can't believe
that Harry would...
**[07:02] ---**
But why...? Why, Brandon?
**[08:17] ---**
Brandon...
**[08:19] ---**
You sacrificed so much to protect
the Organization. And Maria...
**[08:27] ---**
*"Big Daddy. I want to
believe Harry MacDowel.*
**[08:32] ---**
*But if Harry veers off course,
he will need to be stopped.*
**[08:38] ---**
*And that will be my job. No one else's.*
**[08:42] ---**
*That's why l met with Dr. Tokioka
secretly and made a request of him.*
**[08:48] ---**
*That if l died, l wanted him to revive me.*
**[08:53] ---**
*And in case anything should happen
to the Organization, to Millennion...*
**[08:57] ---**
*No, if Harry veers off course,
l wanted him to wake me up."*
**[09:04] ---**
Oh, Brandon...
**[09:07] ---**
Brandon...
**[09:23] ---**
Brandon, what a clumsy guy you are.
**[09:27] ---**
You could have lived more freely...
Why would you go this far?
**[09:37] ---**
It's all right, Brandon. It's all right.
**[09:42] ---**
You don't need to wake up.
Keep resting in peace.
**[09:46] ---**
That's my wish... My son.
**[09:56] ---**
Dr. Tokioka, l won't ask what kind
of research you were conducting...
**[10:01] ---**
in collusion with Harry MacDowel,
or what kind of sin it might have been.
**[10:07] ---**
In return, l want you to let
Brandon rest in peace forever.
**[10:14] ---**
If you need anything,
I'll have it prepared.
**[10:18] ---**
That's all l ask.
**[10:22] ---**
Understood, Big Daddy.
**[10:35] ---**
Let me at least do this much!
**[10:48] ---**
The pain is too little, considering
that l deserve to go to hell.
**[10:58] ---**
*What am l doing? I should
be the one to be condemned.*
**[11:07] ---**
Master, l just got a call from the mansion.
**[11:11] ---**
What happened?
**[11:12] ---**
They say that Madam Maria is
nowhere to be found in the mansion.
**[11:15] ---**
What did you say?
**[11:16] ---**
They looked everywhere in
the vicinity, but couldn't find her.
**[11:20] ---**
Let's get going.
**[11:29] ---**
*Brandon and Harry were
both in the Organization.*
**[11:33] ---**
*Harry killed Brandon because
Brandon betrayed the Organization.*
**[11:39] ---**
*That's impossible... l don't believe it.*
**[11:43] ---**
*They were so close... It's impossible.*
**[11:48] ---**
*But if it's true, l can't forgive him...*
**[11:52] ---**
*I can't forgive Harry
MacDowel for killing him...*
**[12:34] ---**
I knew you would come here.
**[12:39] ---**
Darling...!
**[12:42] ---**
Don't do it.
**[12:47] ---**
Weren't you going to raise this
new life away from the gang world?
**[12:52] ---**
But l can't...
**[12:54] ---**
I have something important
to tell you. Let's talk in the car.
**[13:02] ---**
Maria, l understand how
much you are grieving.
**[13:06] ---**
But I'm glad that you have not
made any mistakes that are irreversible.
**[13:16] ---**
Maria, l have happy news. Brandon is alive.
**[13:25] ---**
It's true. I'm not lying.
**[13:27] ---**
Where... Where is Brandon?
**[13:31] ---**
Unfortunately, he's not in this town
any more. l heard he set out on a journey.
**[13:37] ---**
I don't think he'll show
himself to us ever again.
**[13:42] ---**
Did you see him?
**[13:44] ---**
No, but he contacted one of my close aides.
**[13:52] ---**
Really?
**[13:53] ---**
Yes!
**[13:58] ---**
If that's the case... lf he's alive...
**[14:03] ---**
That's enough for me!
**[14:07] ---**
And they told me that he said if you
ever needed his help, bring him that case.
**[14:19] ---**
He'll come to you no
matter where he is. At any time.
**[14:25] ---**
And they say that this
is what he said last.
**[14:29] ---**
That he'd be praying for your happiness.
**[14:51] ---**
Master!
**[14:52] ---**
Tokioka, take care of Maria for me.
**[14:56] ---**
You're going?
**[14:58] ---**
I've forgotten for a long
time that l *am* Millennion.
**[15:04] ---**
Master...
**[15:15] ---**
*Maria, please do a good job
raising our child. The new life within you.*
**[15:38] ---**
*It's been over 35 years
since l founded Millennion.*
**[15:43] ---**
*I spent all my life protecting
the Family and the Organization.*
**[15:48] ---**
*I have no regrets.*
**[15:51] ---**
*But the short time l spent with
Maria was also like a dream for me.*
**[16:01] ---**
*And it was you who made that
possible, Brandon. Thank you.*
**[16:08] ---**
*Even after your death,
you entrusted that case to me.*
**[16:14] ---**
*But l have no intention of using it.*
**[16:18] ---**
*So l will entrust that case to Maria
and the new life that is about to be born.*
**[16:27] ---**
*And should there ever be a need,
please respond to their request.*
**[16:32] ---**
*I'm sorry, Brandon.*
**[16:35] ---**
*But I'm a member of the
Organization. I will repay your loyalty.*
**[16:52] ---**
I thought it was about time
that you came here, Big Daddy.
**[16:57] ---**
My guys told me that you and Maria had
come here, but l didn't want to intrude.
**[17:05] ---**
So l held myself back.
**[17:07] ---**
Or should l have come
out there to greet you?
**[17:12] ---**
Harry MacDowel, I'd like to ask you one more
time. What do you intend to do with Millennion?
**[17:20] ---**
Since it is my Organization, l would appreciate
it if you could leave it all up to me.
**[17:26] ---**
Millennion is me.
**[17:31] ---**
It's me. Big Daddy.
**[17:33] ---**
No, Millennion is me. Harry MacDowel.
**[17:38] ---**
Then seek harmony.
**[17:41] ---**
With all due respect,
society, as well as the economy,
**[17:44] ---**
keeps changing with the
assumption that they will grow.
**[17:47] ---**
Harmony means stagnation.
**[17:50] ---**
In a relative sense,
it would mean moving backwards.
**[17:55] ---**
Which means that we would
fall behind the times.
**[18:00] ---**
Do you understand?
**[18:02] ---**
You seem to have gotten a little too old.
**[18:05] ---**
I think this is a good
time for you to retire.
**[18:10] ---**
We shouldn't just stand and talk.
Would you care for a drink?
**[18:15] ---**
I acquired a 28-year old bottle
of Tien Satie the other day.
**[18:24] ---**
It's a bourbon made in the year
I was born. It's matured quite nicely.
**[18:30] ---**
Unfortunately, l only drink whiskey.
**[18:35] ---**
Oh? May l ask why?
**[18:37] ---**
Bourbon is produced from whiskey.
A derivative, so to speak.
**[18:46] ---**
In that case, let's get rid of
whiskey from the entire world.
**[18:50] ---**
Then bourbon will become the original.
**[18:53] ---**
Why do you think like that?
**[18:57] ---**
It is Millennion itself that
taught me to think that way.
**[19:04] ---**
Is that so...
**[19:06] ---**
Then l have no other choice.
**[19:14] ---**
Are you going to shoot me?
**[19:15] ---**
Allow me to shoot you.
**[19:17] ---**
I need to reciprocate Brandon's loyalty.
**[19:34] ---**
Sorry to tell you this,
Bunji, but could you step out?
**[19:37] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[19:46] ---**
Ah, delicious...
**[19:51] ---**
Big Daddy, could you
please live with Maria quietly?
**[19:56] ---**
You still have your uses.
If possible, I'd rather not kill you.
**[20:02] ---**
Brandon knew everything.
**[20:07] ---**
He knew of your betrayal
and your plans. Everything.
**[20:11] ---**
But he believed in you until the end.
**[20:15] ---**
Brandon... Brandon knew?
**[20:36] ---**
That day... He knew everything?
**[20:53] ---**
Harry, if you cared at all about Brandon,
**[20:56] ---**
change the course of the
Organization for his sake.
**[20:59] ---**
What the hell are you
saying, you old bastard?!
**[21:02] ---**
Because of *you*, l lost him!
**[21:06] ---**
Brandon was...
**[21:07] ---**
Don't say that name!
**[21:13] ---**
You! You!
**[21:16] ---**
You took him!
**[21:20] ---**
If it weren't for you, I would
have climbed up the ladder with him!
**[21:25] ---**
With him!
**[21:37] ---**
It's not enough...
Taking your life isn't enough!
**[21:43] ---**
I'll erase everything
that's yours! I'll take it away!
**[21:48] ---**
I, Harry MacDowel, will...
**[21:51] ---**
erase everything that has even
the slightest trace to remind me of you!
**[22:01] ---**
*Even after death, Brandon Heat is a man who
tries to stay loyal to the Organization.*
**[22:08] ---**
*No... That name is no longer appropriate.*
**[22:12] ---**
*You've come back from beyond the grave.*
**[22:16] ---**
*Grave...*
**[22:19] ---**
*Now your name is Beyond the Grave.*
**[22:32] ---**
*Keep sleeping, Grave.*
**[22:38] ---**
*Forever...*
**[22:54] ---**
*Ashita wo ima ni nuri kae te ku...*
**[23:00] ---**

*"Ima iru kono basho wa

**[24:11] ---**
*Thirteen years is long enough
to change people's hearts.*
**[24:15] ---**
*But there's one man who has stopped time.*
**[24:19] ---**
*Unchanging, not changing
anything, the guy kept sleeping.*
**[24:24] ---**
