    Asuka-san...
[00:05] ---
    Is school fun?
[00:09] ---
    Yeah.
[00:10] ---
    I think it is.
[00:13] ---
    That's why I don't want
    to be a Magical Girl anymore.
[00:16] ---
    I don't want to lose any more
    of the people close to me.
[00:35] ---
    Now we have all the cards we need.
SIGN    I can't wait to see the movie.
[00:49] ---
    Not fighting because
    you have things you care about...
[00:53] ---
    You're supposed to do the

    opposite, Asuka-san.
[02:49] (Flashback) ---
    Francine!
[02:51] (Flashback) ---
    Francine!
[02:53] (Flashback) ---
    I'll bring Kurumi over right away!
[02:55] (Flashback) ---
    It's hopeless.
[02:58] (Flashback) ---
    There isn't time.
[03:01] (Flashback) ---
    Francine...
[03:03] (Flashback) ---
    Asuka, you must be our next leader.
[03:07] (Flashback) ---
    No!
[03:08] (Flashback) ---
    Don't die!
[03:10] (Flashback) ---
    Protect this world.
[03:13] (Flashback) ---
    It has a lot of problems,
[03:15] (Flashback) ---
    but lots of beautiful things, too.
[03:23] (Flashback) ---
    Things worth protecting...
[03:26] (Flashback) ---
    Things worth fighting for...
[03:30] (Flashback) ---
    I'm counting on you, Asuka.
[03:52] ---
    Francine...
[03:59] ---
    The things that make this
    world worth protecting...

[04:19] ---
    Nozomi...
[04:20] ---
    Were you really kidnapped?
[04:24] ---
    There's been no info from the JSDF.
[04:30] ---
    Makino-san...
[04:32] ---
    The Chief of Police received a message
    and a photo from the East Asia United Front.
[04:36] ---
    What are their demands?
[04:37] ---
    No demands.
[04:39] ---
    They simply say they want revenge.
[04:42] ---
    Make Kim Kanth tell us where
    they'd be likely to hide her.
[04:46] ---
    I'll let you do the interrogation.
[04:49] ---
    What will you do?
[04:50] ---
    I'm off to talk with Commissioner Miura
     about a rescue operation.
[05:04] ---
    It's grilling up great!
[05:06] ---
    Do you like grilled meat?
[05:11] ---
    I do!
[05:13] ---
    Charcoal really roasts the meat
    with far-infrared radiation.
[05:19] ---
    I think it's about done.
[05:24] ---
    These scissors are so great.
[05:26] ---
    At first I was surprised.
[05:29] ---
    I didn't think you could
    cut meat with scissors.
[05:33] ---
    They're really sharp.
[05:37] ---
    Then you just roast the leftover bones
    on the coals until they're nice and crisp,
[05:42] ---
    and then eat the meat
    around the bones.
[05:45] ---
    I love grilled meat.
[05:49] ---
    I hope you start to love it, too.
[05:52] ---
    Grilled... meat...
[06:00] ---
    Don't worry. Don't worry.
[06:01] ---
    I haven't turned the camera on yet.
[06:04] ---
    Now, let's eat.
[06:07] ---
    Or the meat's going to get burnt.
[06:17] ---
    Did they discover my identity
    and go after her?
[06:20] ---
    No.
[06:22] ---
    This is retaliation for Kim Kanth.
[06:24] ---
    Retaliation?
[06:25] ---
    Why Nozomi?
[06:27] ---
    Her father works for the Public Safety
    Department's Foreign Affairs Section.
[06:31] ---
    What are they doing
    for a rescue operation?
[06:33] ---
    We made Kim tell us the
    location of their base in the city.
[06:37] ---
    Public Safety is going
    to send agents there.
[06:40] ---
    Or they were, at least.
SIGN    Kasumigahara National Police Agency
[06:47] ---
    "Stay out of this?"
[06:48] ---
    What do you mean?
[06:50] ---
    In the last battle,
[06:51] ---
    the East Asia United Front used a
    Halloween-class Magic Biological Weapon.
[06:58] ---
    Kim Kanth's statements indicate
    that it's likely they possess more.
[07:06] ---
    That was your report, right?
[07:09] ---
    Sending any amount of agents
    up against a Magic Biological Weapon
[07:12] ---
    achieves nothing but the creation
    of a pile of dead bodies.
[07:15] ---
    Then...
[07:15] ---
    But this is too small an incident
    for us to go begging the JSDF
[07:21] ---
    to send in a magical warfare unit.
[07:24] ---
    So you're telling me to just let her die?
[07:26] ---
    We police are...
[07:28] ---
    Of course.
[07:28] ---
    The largest user of organized
    violence in Japan.
[07:31] ---
    If we allow one of our own to be hurt,
[07:34] ---
    it's a challenge to the
    authority of our badge.
[07:36] ---
    And a challenge to the
    authority of Japan itself.
[07:40] ---
    Then why...
[07:41] ---
    If we sacrifice her,
[07:43] ---
    we can get a huge
    budget to go after them.
[07:47] ---
    Your daughter will be a valuable sacrifice.
[07:50] ---
    Once they send us her body,
[07:53] ---
    we can make the
    East Asian United Front pay. Dearly.
[08:00] ---
    And that's the brass's decision?
[08:06] ---
    If a Magical Girl just showed up on her own,
[08:08] ---
    like what happened at Iidabashi,
[08:11] ---
    that would change things.
[08:17] ---
    Public Safety's not going to act?
[08:20] ---
    It seems they've come to the decision
[08:22] ---
    that they're no match for a
    Magic Biological Weapon.
[08:27] ---
    Then what about Spec-Ops?
[08:29] ---
    What about M Squad?
[08:31] ---
    The JGSDF can only intervene when
    a magical battle actually occurs.
[08:36] ---
    We can't go in without
    a request from the police.
[08:41] ---
    Then no one can do anything.
[08:44] ---
    Since the war,
[08:45] ---
    things have been tense
    between us and the police.
[08:49] ---
    And the police don't
    like being in our debt.
[08:54] ---
    So they'll just let her die?
[09:04] ---
    Someone who can move quietly,
[09:05] ---
    and who can handle a
    Halloween-class if it shows up...
[09:11] ---
    A Magical Girl, right?
[09:13] ---
    Iizuka-san called me.
[09:16] ---
    I'll go, too.
[09:17] ---
    Me, too!
[09:20] ---
    Kurumi...
[09:24] ---
    Even if she's been horribly tortured,
[09:26] ---
    I can heal her right then and there.
[09:29] ---
    But...
[09:30] ---
    Are you sure?
[09:31] ---
    You're officially with the JSDF now.
[09:34] ---
    If I can't help you with
    what you want to do,
[09:38] ---
    I'll gladly quit the JSDF.
[09:42] ---
    I'll send the information Kim Kanth
    gave us to your cell, Asuka.
[09:47] ---
    Thanks.
[09:49] ---
    The one thing I can do
[09:51] ---
    is call the local police
    and have the area sealed off.
[09:54] ---
    And if the battle gets intense,
[09:56] ---
    I can send in M Squad as reinforcements.
[09:58] ---
    No.
[10:00] ---
    We won't need reinforcements.
[10:06] ---
    Are you sure about this, Chief?
[10:08] ---
    We can't control what
    the Magical Girls do.
[10:12] ---
    We'll do our job as adults.
[10:15] ---
    Then...
[10:16] ---
    Get loaded up with A-2
    equipment and prepare to roll out.
[10:19] ---
    I'll explain the details soon.
[10:21] ---
    Roger!
[10:23] ---
    My claws can cut through anything.
[10:27] ---
    You're going to find out what happens...
[10:37] ---
    When you do something
    bad where I can reach you.
[10:52] ---
    We're grateful to M Squad
    for their quick report.
[10:56] ---
    If the Magical Girls are acting
    of their own volition,
[11:00] ---
    then there's nothing we can do about it.
[11:02] ---
    We don't control them.

[11:21] ---
    You look great!
[11:51] ---
    Make sure you don't kill her, okay, Povar?
[11:55] ---
    Abigail,
[11:56] ---
    when we kill her, Storozh will do it.
[11:59] ---
    We can't recycle her otherwise.
[12:03] ---
    But we need to make
    her suffer a bit more,
[12:07] ---
    or the guys from the EAUF
    won't be satisfied.
[12:12] ---
    Let me handle the rest.
[12:23] ---
    Russian legends say that the
    souls of young women who drown
[12:28] ---
    become spirits known as rusalka.
[12:35] ---
    Don't hurt me...
[12:37] ---
    The rusalka was just an old legend.
[12:41] ---
    But...
[12:43] ---
    Please... stop...
[12:51] ---
    The magic of the spirits has revived
    the rusalka in the modern era.
[13:05] ---
    Masters of the rusalka can
    command water to do as they will.
[13:11] ---
    I am the watcher at the waterside.
[13:13] ---
    That is why they call me Storozh, "Watchman."
[13:17] ---
    And I am Povar.
[13:20] ---
    "Chef."
[13:22] ---
    As for why they call me a chef...
[13:26] ---
    You'll find out later.
[13:30] ---
    No, stop...
[13:32] ---
    Don't hurt me!
[13:34] ---
    I don't know anything!
[13:35] ---
    I'll do anything!
[13:36] ---
    So please...
[13:37] ---
    Stop it!
[13:40] ---
    You don't need to do anything.
[13:44] ---
    Did you know your dad worked
    for Public Safety?
[13:49] ---
    Public Safety?
[13:51] ---
    We're going to send a video
    of you being tortured to Public Safety
[13:55] ---
    and set a trap.
[13:57] ---
    They'll analyze the
    video to find this place,
[14:02] ---
    and send in Magical Girls like they did at
[14:05] ---
    Iidabashi and Shinjuku 3rd Avenue.
[14:08] ---
    Magical Girls?
[14:10] ---
    Yes.
[14:12] ---
    Magical Girls, defenders of love and justice.
[14:16] ---
    They're worried about
    Magic Biological Weapons.
[14:21] ---
    But they don't know that we have
    sorcerer mercenaries from Russia.
[14:25] ---
    We can ambush them.
[14:28] ---
    Anyway, get back to it.
[14:30] ---
    But this time make sure
    you're not on the video.
[14:33] ---
    I don't want them to know
    what we've got planned.
[14:36] ---
    That will be more difficult.
[14:37] ---
    Yes.
[14:39] ---
    Please,
[14:40] ---
    stop...
[14:51] ---
    Well done!
[14:53] ---
    Hey, I've been wondering...
[14:57] ---
    What?
[14:58] ---
    What do you gain from
    capturing a Magical Girl alive?
[15:05] ---
    The development of a Girl of Mass Destruction!
[15:13] ---
    It's all part of the queen's plan.
[15:18] ---
    Well,
[15:19] ---
    as long as we're paid,
[15:21] ---
    we don't care.
[15:38] ---
    Gobu.
[15:43] ---
    I see.
[15:45] ---
    Got it.

    Magical Girls...

[16:03] ---

[16:09] ---
    The local police have sealed off the block.
[16:12] ---
    The citizens have been evacuated.
[16:13] ---
    Give 'em hell.
[16:15] ---
    Roger.
[16:21] ---

[16:32] ---
    It's been a while since we've done this.

[17:05] ---
    Magical Girl Trivia!
[17:07] ---
    Magical Truth Serum is
[17:09] ---
    a magically-enhanced
    barbiturate truth serum, chu!
[17:13] ---
    It clouds the subject's mind
[17:16] ---
    and makes them tell you what
    you need to know, chu!
[17:21] ---
    You're a terrorist from the
     East Asia United Front, right?
[17:25] ---
    Y-Yes.
[17:27] ---
    Where is the hostage?
[17:29] ---
    The basement.
[17:30] ---
    They're filming a torture video.
[17:33] ---
    How many are with you?
[17:35] ---
    Ten.
[17:37] ---
    Do any of them use magic?
[17:39] ---
    Three...
[17:41] ---
    Storozh, Povar,
[17:44] ---
    and Abigail.
[17:50] ---
    They never stay awake long.
[17:52] ---
    I'm sorry.
[17:54] ---
    It's difficult to fine-tune magical drugs.
[17:58] ---
    Let's hurry to the basement.
[18:00] ---
    Yes.
[18:06] ---
    They're here!
[18:28] ---
    Help me...

    Glad to have you.

[18:40] ---
    Why did you kidnap that girl?
[18:43] ---
    She's just bait.
[18:45] ---
    Bait to lure you out.
[18:48] ---
    A good little Magical Girl
[18:51] ---
    couldn't leave a hostage behind, right?
[18:54] ---
    So this is some elaborate suicide
    attempt on your part, then?
[19:01] ---
    That's funny!
[19:02] ---
    You're not worried at all, huh?
[19:04] ---
    Wait!
[19:06] ---
    What do you mean,
    you wanted to lure us out?
[19:09] ---
    It's all for my queen.
[19:12] ---
    Your queen?
[19:14] ---
    I want your help with
    achieving my queen's ambition.
[19:19] ---
    If you just come with me,
[19:21] ---
    I'll let the hostage go.
[19:23] ---
    Shut up.
[19:25] ---
    That's right!
[19:27] ---
    We can't do that.
[19:27] ---
    So...
[19:29] ---
    Will you kill us, then,
[19:32] ---
    and just write her off
    as collateral damage?
[19:35] ---
    Let the hostage go.
[19:38] ---
    Do it now, and I won't kill you.
[19:40] ---
    Oh, wow!
[19:41] ---
    That's so nice of you!
[19:43] ---
    Okay!
[19:44] ---
    I'll let her go!
[19:53] ---
    Oops!
[19:55] ---
    I meant to cut the chain, but I missed!
[19:58] ---
    You bitch!
[20:00] ---
    Throw down your weapons now.
[20:02] ---
    This time, I'll kill her for real.

    Damn it...
[20:59] ---
    Damn it!
[21:00] ---
    Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!
[21:02] ---
    You'll pay for this!
[21:04] ---
    Rapture! War Nurse!
[21:07] ---
    Take Nozomi and get out of here.
[21:10] ---
    There's no way that
    was enough to kill them.
[21:13] ---
    I'll buy time.

    Okay!

    He blocked my karambit!
[21:32] ---
    This ax was forged by the Eternal Ironworks'

    Where'd you find an antique like that?

    I'll follow War Nurse.
