"Have Guns"
Heard you got your director position back.
**[00:04] ---**
Heard you got your director position back.
**[00:08] ---**
To be precise, I'm still considered
a substitute director.
**[00:14] ---**
You have the data, don't you?
**[00:17] ---**
Sorry.
**[00:19] ---**
Like I told that guy Avi, I've already
sold off that so-called data.
**[00:26] ---**
Don't be mistaken, Juzo. I'm not here
to have some tea with you.
**[00:32] ---**
You broke the Extend Law again.
**[00:36] ---**
You not only destroyed a sub-brain that
was a lead to a highly wanted criminal.
**[00:43] ---**
You assisted his escape.
**[00:48] ---**
I'm sure you understand,
even with this sooty head of yours.
**[00:52] ---**
Even if I send you to Wunder Bender
this very instant, you can't complain.
**[00:58] ---**
True, I'm not in the best of situations.
**[01:02] ---**
I got no attachments to the outside...
**[01:08] ---**
...but I can't really let myself be put away
until I deal with a certain problem.
**[01:13] ---**
Oh, wonderful. That simplifies matters.
**[01:18] ---**
But even if I had that data
you're talking about,
**[01:22] ---**
the problem I'm dealing with
right now won't let me give it up.
**[01:33] ---**
This is why I hate people who have things
they value more than themselves.
**[01:45] ---**
Tetsuro and Chris!
**[01:47] ---**
Did you save them from Spitzbergen?!
**[01:51] ---**
I wish I could say that...
**[01:56] ---**
...but you're wrong.
**[01:59] ---**
It seems they were released.
**[02:02] ---**
Without a single scratch on them.
**[02:04] ---**
What do you mean by that?
**[02:06] ---**
We currently have them in custody,
**[02:09] ---**
and we're checking to see
if any kind of deal was made.
**[02:14] ---**
It'll take two or three days.
**[02:18] ---**
Either way, I'll guarantee their safety.
**[02:26] ---**
That means... you no longer have
a need to keep that data, right?
**[04:03] ---**
"Noble Rot"
**[04:05] ---**
"Noble Rot"
My name is Podpie.
**[04:08] ---**
I'm one of the many Extendeds
living in this city.
**[04:12] ---**
There's no trail I can't track.
**[04:16] ---**
I use these eyes of mine to maintain the
peace by solving cases from the shadows.
**[04:27] ---**
Even so...
**[04:31] ---**
No matter how hard I try, there is a limit
to what can be done by the books.
**[04:37] ---**
In order to further sharpen my skills,
**[04:43] ---**
I walk the streets every night.
**[04:46] ---**
All for the sake of my true imperative.
**[04:57] ---**
That's...!
**[04:59] ---**
The one visiting Juzo Inui has been
confirmed as the director of EMS.
**[05:04] ---**
It looks like the data
has already been destroyed.
**[05:08] ---**
It proved that the government had hidden
the dangers of extension technology!
**[05:14] ---**
We might still make it.
Give the order to attack.
**[05:18] ---**
We won't make a mistake this time.
**[05:23] ---**
What is it? An enemy attack?!
**[05:26] ---**
No, I think there's a drunkard
causing problems...
**[05:29] ---**
I feel a disgusting presence.
**[05:31] ---**
It may be an ambush set by EMS.
**[05:34] ---**
It can't be helped if we've
been discovered! Let's kill them!
**[05:37] ---**
Don't engage in pointless battles!
**[05:39] ---**
Fall back. We'll report to the elder.
**[05:43] ---**
Understood.
**[05:58] ---**
Goodness. Please don't laugh so much.
**[06:01] ---**
B-But the way you described Juzo
made him seem so cool.
**[06:07] ---**
That's not the same guy.
**[06:08] ---**
But don't you think he's an amazing person?
**[06:12] ---**
He ignored the dangers and
saved me when I was kidnapped.
**[06:16] ---**
Even though I said such terrible things...
**[06:20] ---**
Oh, I don't think he worries
about that kind of thing.
**[06:23] ---**
That would be nice, but...
**[06:25] ---**
The coat I borrowed from Mr. Juzo
got so tattered, right?
**[06:32] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:33] ---**
I was wondering if I could fix it myself.
**[06:37] ---**
I read in a magazine that men
value handmade presents more.
**[06:43] ---**
Really?
**[06:45] ---**
Should I send a new one, after all?
**[06:49] ---**
But I feel like that won't
properly convey my feelings...
**[06:56] ---**
I see. So that's how it is.
**[06:59] ---**
O-Of appreciation!
My feelings of appreciation!
**[07:02] ---**
I mean, Juzo is super dense.
**[07:05] ---**
You have to say things strongly
and clearly for him to understand!
**[07:14] ---**
You're right.
**[07:16] ---**
I'm now free to go wherever I please.
**[07:21] ---**
I will try my best.
**[07:25] ---**
That's the spirit.
**[07:39] ---**
Juzo should be in his office right now.
**[07:42] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[07:57] ---**
R-Rosa?!
**[07:58] ---**
I never thought you were
that kind of person, Mr. Juzo!
**[08:02] ---**
N-No. What? Huh?!
**[08:05] ---**
Even if mankind has evolved with extension
technology, man himself does not change.
**[08:31] ---**
May there be mercy upon his manhood.
**[08:41] ---**
It looks like she got the wrong idea.
**[08:43] ---**
You...
**[08:44] ---**
Juzo, you're the one in the wrong here.
**[08:49] ---**
Hurry up and hand over the data.
**[09:06] ---**
So that was McMahon's daughter...
**[09:28] ---**
The time has come.
**[09:33] ---**
Either way, I'm glad
the two of them are safe.
**[09:38] ---**
Well, if Christina didn't come back
for a while, I could wait on the rent.
**[09:44] ---**
Dad!
**[09:46] ---**
After all that commotion, I haven't
had any customers come in.
**[09:50] ---**
When someone finally does...
it's a head like yours.
**[09:55] ---**
At this rate, my cutting skills
are going to drop.
**[10:00] ---**
B-B-B-But I'm thankful that everyone is safe.
**[10:05] ---**
I heard that you were going to raid
a terrorist organization, Mr. Juzo.
**[10:09] ---**
I was so w-worried...
**[10:12] ---**
There's no need to worry
about a guy like that.
**[10:15] ---**
He even came back with newly sprouted arms!
**[10:18] ---**
Don't talk about it
like I'm some kind of lizard.
**[10:22] ---**
Those arms of yours. Are they Mary's work?
**[10:26] ---**
No, this is--
**[10:27] ---**
That girl is popular.
**[10:30] ---**
Her skills have improved once again.
**[10:33] ---**
She's so young, but so talented.
**[10:35] ---**
I should have her do my
maintenance work sometime.
**[10:38] ---**
While I'm at it, maybe I should upgrade
to something that looks more trendy.
**[10:44] ---**
That's a good idea.
**[10:46] ---**
You should also have her set it
so you talk a little less.
**[10:51] ---**
Welcome!
**[10:54] ---**
Uh, did you want to get a cut?
**[10:57] ---**
D-Dad!
**[10:59] ---**
If so, I'm helping another customer
right now, so it'll be a bit of a wait.
**[11:05] ---**
Just a shampoo.
**[11:07] ---**
Oh! I-I can do that!
**[11:10] ---**
Will that be all right?
**[11:12] ---**
Please.
**[11:13] ---**
I'll h-hang up your coat for you.
**[11:18] ---**
P-Please sit down over here.
**[11:25] ---**
After investigating day
and night, I've finally...
**[11:30] ---**
Excuse my reach.
**[11:33] ---**
My efforts have borne fruit!
**[11:40] ---**
Wh-What's going on?!
**[11:42] ---**
U-U-Um, did I do something wrong?
**[11:48] ---**
No. There's no problem.
**[11:52] ---**
I-I'm going to lower the seat now.
**[11:54] ---**
All right, turn back over this way.
**[11:57] ---**
I'm going to put a towel over you now.
**[12:01] ---**
Is th-th-there any water down your temples?
**[12:06] ---**
There's no problem.
**[12:09] ---**
Are you on your way home from work today?
**[12:14] ---**
What kind of work do you do?
**[12:21] ---**
The world...
**[12:23] ---**
I make the dreams of all men
in this world come true.
**[12:26] ---**
That is the duty I bear.
**[12:32] ---**
D-Duty?!
**[12:33] ---**
Now that makes me curious, old man.
**[12:36] ---**
If you are truly a man, a time will come
when I may help you as well.
**[12:42] ---**
A man of few words, huh?
**[12:45] ---**
I don't hate those kinds of people.
**[13:01] ---**
Inhuman previous guest
who I do not know the name of,
**[13:05] ---**
allow me to be thankful of your work.
**[13:11] ---**
I-It seems your job must be an admirable one.
**[13:18] ---**
I was able to gain this moment thanks to you!
**[13:22] ---**
The perfect chance for me to fulfill my duties!
**[13:38] ---**
Oh, no! What a terrible nosebleed!
**[13:41] ---**
There's no problem. Continue.
**[13:43] ---**
B-B-But...
**[13:44] ---**
Excuse me.
**[13:46] ---**
I'd like to get my hair washed.
Do you have time?
**[13:49] ---**
I've been holding off
because of everything going on,
**[13:51] ---**
but it's been a week and
I can't stand this itchiness!
**[13:54] ---**
Oh! Juzo is here, too.
**[13:57] ---**
Rosa was here just a bit ago. Did you see her?
**[14:01] ---**
Wait... why is there so much blood?!
**[14:05] ---**
Th-That's...
**[14:06] ---**
No way. Juzo...
**[14:08] ---**
It wasn't me!
**[14:18] ---**
Those eyes...
**[14:20] ---**
I've seen them somewhere.
**[14:24] ---**
Don't put such pathetic things
in front of my face!
**[14:27] ---**
And you smell so bad! Have some shame!
**[14:31] ---**
Wh-What are you...?
**[14:37] ---**
Y-Y-You!
**[14:57] ---**
Dad! Get a towel! Hurry!
**[15:03] ---**
What's going on? What did he do?
**[15:07] ---**
I am a person from the Security Bureau!
I have connections with the EMS as well!
**[15:12] ---**
--If you harm me, you will not be--
**[15:14] ---**
--Shut up!
--If you harm me, you will not be--
**[15:18] ---**
I knew it!
**[15:21] ---**
Th-That's...
**[15:23] ---**
What is that? Let me see.
**[15:25] ---**
Don't look!
**[15:27] ---**
This person has an image scanning device
that uses the MALS system.
**[15:35] ---**
Multiple Alternative Light Sources.
**[15:39] ---**
It's a system that uses ultraviolet and
infrared light to find hidden evidence.
**[15:46] ---**
It was developed for the Security Bureau
and the government research facilities.
**[15:52] ---**
That technology was installed
in his eyes as an extension.
**[15:57] ---**
I don't really get it.
So, just what did this guy do?
**[16:01] ---**
To put it simply, he has the power
to see hidden things.
**[16:06] ---**
It's x-ray vision!
**[16:07] ---**
X-ray vision?!
**[16:10] ---**
Of course, this technology
isn't available to the public.
**[16:14] ---**
So, it's an illegal extension.
**[16:16] ---**
Even considering the risks,
it's a fairly affordable extension.
**[16:20] ---**
That's why illegal extensions
like this are so popular.
**[16:25] ---**
Then, this guy...
**[16:27] ---**
He's probably lying about being
part of the Security Bureau.
**[16:30] ---**
I'm not lying!
**[16:32] ---**
I really was a data analyst
from the Security Bureau.
**[16:37] ---**
However, after getting these eyes,
**[16:40] ---**
my desire to use them for personal
gain had become uncontrollable!
**[16:46] ---**
That was the only reason I was fired!
**[16:57] ---**
Then, the duty you were talking about earlier...
**[17:02] ---**
I must show the beautiful bodies that have
caught my eye to all the men in the world.
**[17:10] ---**
That! That is the true duty of John Podpie!
**[17:15] ---**
Why are you saying that so proudly?!
**[17:18] ---**
I was able to extract all the data.
**[17:20] ---**
Let's just hand this guy over to the EMS!
**[17:23] ---**
What did you say?!
**[17:24] ---**
What a foolish thing to do!
Your heart must be as barren as your chest!
**[17:30] ---**
Quit saying barren over and over!
**[17:36] ---**
You fools do not realize
the importance of my work!
**[17:40] ---**
You are the ones who took my job
and my family from me!
**[17:45] ---**
This flimsy bucket!
**[17:47] ---**
It cannot contain the light
of my all-seeing eyes!
**[17:50] ---**
I will bring all of your secrets to light!
**[17:55] ---**
I shall bring you complete humiliation!
**[18:12] ---**
Wh-Wh-What kind of body is that?
**[18:17] ---**
Shut up.
**[18:20] ---**
You suddenly became so freaking talkative.
**[18:23] ---**
What're you doing to someone that could be
the same age as your daughter?
**[18:30] ---**
It's your duty as an adult to admit
your crime instead of lashing back like this.
**[18:37] ---**
U-Um...
**[18:39] ---**
Here.
**[18:43] ---**
What was that just now? What was that
just now? What was that just now?
**[18:47] ---**
--What was that just now?
- What was that just now? What? What?
**[18:48] ---**
--He's a goner.
--What was that just now?
What was that just now? What? What?
**[18:50] ---**
--What was that just now?
- What was that just now? What? What?
**[18:53] ---**
--It's fine!
--What was that just now?
What was that just now? What? What?
**[18:58] ---**
I'm sure he had his reasons.
**[19:02] ---**
We've gotten the images back...
so as long as he promises not to do it again...
**[19:09] ---**
Huh?!
**[19:10] ---**
Hey, that's being way too nice!
**[19:12] ---**
But he seems to have regretted what he's done.
**[19:16] ---**
No, no. You can't let him go like this.
**[19:19] ---**
Please open your eyes!
**[19:20] ---**
--It'll be fine.
--No, do you really understand?
He saw you?! All of you!
--What about you?
**[19:23] ---**
--No, do you really understand?
He saw you?! All of you!
--Even if you ask me that...
**[19:25] ---**
--Well, that's true, but...
--I can't even use that head
of his to practice cutting hair.
**[19:27] ---**
--What? It's okay?! Really?!
--I can't even use that head
of his to practice cutting hair.
**[19:30] ---**
It's fine!
**[19:34] ---**
What was that just now? What was that
just now? What was that just now?
**[19:38] ---**
Wh-What? What was that? What?
**[19:43] ---**
You forgot something.
**[19:47] ---**
That power of yours. Try using it for
something you *really* believe is right.
**[19:54] ---**
If you drown in that power again,
the last thing you'll see is my fist.
**[20:07] ---**
And, you know...
**[20:11] ---**
If you don't watch out,
you'll just end up becoming a tool.
**[20:17] ---**
It's like you were saying
those words to yourself.
**[20:22] ---**
You think?
**[20:24] ---**
I do.
**[20:26] ---**
Verrat Dreizhen. The brethren slayer, Device 13!
**[20:32] ---**
The anecdotes of you stained in blood!
**[20:38] ---**
In the past, there was a unit
called the Noble Rot.
**[20:49] ---**
Soldiers who dropped to rock bottom
for the sake of their country.
**[20:55] ---**
They seemed noble for
giving themselves to the rot.
**[21:02] ---**
Was that...
**[21:06] ---**
His abilities still have ways
to be used for good.
**[21:12] ---**
He's different from me.
**[21:18] ---**
Well, then.
**[21:19] ---**
Old man, please finish taking care of me.
**[21:22] ---**
Oh! But!
**[21:28] ---**
But... There are people
who've been saved by you, too.
**[21:36] ---**
Juzo.
**[23:21] ---**
--You aren't surprised seeing my face?
**[23:22] ---**
--I'd like you to find my husband, Edmund.
--You aren't surprised seeing my face?
**[23:23] ---**
--Well, well. What an utterly
unexpected turn of events!
--I'd like you to find my husband, Edmund.
--You aren't surprised seeing my face?
**[23:25] ---**
--Well, well. What an utterly
unexpected turn of events!
--I've never seen you on the military register.
**[23:26] ---**
--I'm sorry. Please forgive me!
--I've never seen you on the military register.
