[00:18] ---
    Good day to you.
[00:20] ---
    Dear members of Wurzel.
[00:26] ---
    Good day, Matilda. Imelda.
[00:30] ---
    It seems the others are quite busy,
    so I shall listen to your report.
[00:35] ---
    We thank you, Honest COO.
[00:39] ---
    Actually...
[00:40] ---
    There is someone who wishes
    to meet with the board.
[00:49] ---
    Well, well. Our chief of security, Cunningham.
[00:53] ---
    How long has it been since I have last seen you?
[00:57] ---
    My unsuccessful negotiation with that
    Resolver in the Kyusei Pit... Um...
[01:02] ---
    I believe you have not seen me
    since the inquiry of my failure...
[01:07] ---
    Today, I have come to request
    for a chance to redeem myself.
[01:14] ---
    Though it was an unforeseen circumstance,
    we have successfully eliminated Armed.
[02:53] ---
    "Reverberation"
[02:55] ---
    "Reverberation"
    Mega Armed Tokisada.
[02:58] ---
    We have granted him money
    and power for many years.
[03:03] ---
    We made him into a hero, the ideal Extended.
[03:08] ---
    However, the other day,
    a former member of Tindalos
[03:13] ---
    threatened to reveal the truth
    of the Nightmare of Norse Scott.
[03:20] ---
    Armed foolishly murdered the man and
    asked for help in covering the evidence.
[03:28] ---
    We controlled Gondry and
    turned it into a serial murder case.
[03:33] ---
    We eliminated Armed, who was the cause,
    as the murderer's last victim.
[03:41] ---
    Just as you all commanded.
[03:45] ---
    I had liked that greed-like
    obsession with that honor of his.
[03:53] ---
    At least, until he began to mistake
    the power granted to him as his own.
[03:59] ---
    However, chief of security.
[04:01] ---
    I do not recall allowing the use of a Gun Slave
    Unit or any orders to involve the director of EMS.
[04:11] ---
    The COO is quite malicious.
[04:13] ---
    So true.
[04:17] ---
    At times, even the smallest misplaced gear
[04:20] ---
    can create a large problem in the
    grand mechanism of a company.
[04:24] ---
    Strange CSO!
[04:28] ---
    There has been a request for more
    experimental subjects at the facility,
[04:31] ---
    but a sloppy body such as yours
    cannot even be used in such a way.
[04:37] ---
    Perhaps we should really just
    turn you into a simple gear.
[04:44] ---
    However, this case...
[04:46] ---
    ...has fortunately not reached
    the ears of Arahabaki CEO.
[04:52] ---
    So, as you wish, we shall give you
    one last chance to redeem yourself.
[05:01] ---
    Fulfill your duty with that in mind.
[05:12] ---
    A fatty like you shouldn't
    make such an irritated face.
[05:16] ---
    This is all because the two
    of you did such a sloppy job!
[05:21] ---
    Say that again?!
[05:23] ---
    We took care of him, just like you wanted!
[05:26] ---
    What are you oinking about, you little pig?!
[05:29] ---
    D-Don't raise your voice so loudly!
[05:33] ---
    Goodness, the little sister of that
    sham of a nun is just as stupid!
[05:38] ---
    Huh? Karen has nothing to do with this!
[05:41] ---
    Stop, Pepper.
[05:43] ---
    It's rude to talk to him like that.
[05:46] ---
    Inui?!
[05:48] ---
    D-Don't scare me like that.
[05:51] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[05:52] ---
    To begin with, it's your fault for
    giving us such trashy equipment!
[06:01] ---
    A way to control Extendeds?!
[06:04] ---
    The feelings of the Extended
    messed with my head!
[06:06] ---
    And it broke after one use!
[06:08] ---
    That thing is complete trash!
[06:10] ---
    This is a replica, after all.
[06:12] ---
    It's nothing compared to the original.
[06:15] ---
    Original?
[06:17] ---
    Anyways, I will contact you again later.
[06:20] ---
    Until then, the two of you must stay quiet.
[06:24] ---
    Understand?
[06:25] ---
    Good-bye.
[06:30] ---
    Unfortunately, we can't really do that.
[06:34] ---
    After all, I found someone interesting.
[06:40] ---
    Wh-Who? Is it someone I know?
[06:43] ---
    You can't. We were just told to stay quiet!
[06:46] ---
    Oh, shut up.
[06:48] ---
    But, Pepper...
[06:49] ---
    You have such a big body,
    but you're so pathetic!
[06:54] ---
    Goodness. In the end, people like
    them will never understand!
[06:59] ---
    How truly terrifying those people are.
[07:03] ---
    Wurzel... In other words, the roots
    of the Berühren Corporation.
[07:07] ---
    The founding executive officers!
[07:11] ---
    They are the monsters that gave
    birth to extension technology,
[07:13] ---
    ending the great war that
    lasted more than half a century.
[07:19] ---
    Even before the war, they had
    great power in the shadows.
[07:23] ---
    There are even rumors that they were the
    ones who triggered the war to begin with.
[07:29] ---
    At this rate, I will...
[07:35] ---
    Another thing. Regarding the new assistive
    walking devices that were distributed.
[07:42] ---
    There have been some deaths
    caused by problematic sub-brains.
[07:46] ---
    We received complaints from their families.
[07:48] ---
    What shall we do?
[07:50] ---
    I am sure the two of you are quite aware.
[07:53] ---
    The meaning behind the emblem
    of the Berühren Corporation.
[07:57] ---
    It symbolizes the hand of the worker's
    guild that founded this company,
[08:03] ---
    as well as the evolutionary tree of our species.
[08:08] ---
    We bring evolutionary innovation to the world.
[08:11] ---
    That is what we, the Berühren
    Corporation, strives for.
[08:16] ---
    However, it is true that there are those
    that cannot withstand such change.
[08:22] ---
    At the very least, we should
    put flowers upon their graves.
[08:27] ---
    Take care of the surviving family
    members as we always have.
[08:34] ---
    A few days ago, a somber memorial service
    was given for Mega Armed Tokisada,
[08:39] ---
    who died from the collapse of a decaying bridge.
[08:41] ---
    "Inui Consulting"
    who died from the collapse of a decaying bridge.
[08:44] ---
    "Inui Consulting"
    A ceremonial area has been created in the
    End of War Commemoration Park and,
[08:47] ---
    --starting today, it is open
    to the public for one week.
[08:48] ---
    --Yeah.
    --starting today, it is open
    to the public for one week.
[08:50] ---
    --starting today, it is open
    to the public for one week.
[08:54] ---
    Next piece of news.
[08:56] ---
    Regarding the accidents caused by the new
    extensions from the Berühren Corporation.
[09:00] ---
    The charges from the families
    of the victims have been dropped.
[09:06] ---
    I've been hearing about that
    incessantly on the news.
[09:09] ---
    So, how is she? Olivier?
[09:13] ---
    I see...
[09:22] ---
    Damn it.
[09:24] ---
    She made me worry.
[09:30] ---
    Juzo?
[09:32] ---
    It seems the pot is ready.
[09:37] ---
    I'm not the type that plays well with others...
[09:40] ---
    I told you that already.
[09:44] ---
    Come on. What are you doing?!
[09:47] ---
    What happened to the boy who
    could never read the atmosphere?
[09:51] ---
    You still got business with me?
[09:55] ---
    Will you let me help you with your work, Juzo?!
[10:01] ---
    I still have no way to pay you back!
[10:05] ---
    But I can be useful with Harmony!
[10:07] ---
    Don't be stupid. Your life is being
    targeted because of that thing.
[10:13] ---
    And, have you forgotten?
[10:15] ---
    That thing is something that makes
    others a tool. Something you hate.
[10:21] ---
    Th-That's...
[10:23] ---
    Juzo, you're the one who shouldn't be so stupid!
[10:26] ---
    Huh?
[10:27] ---
    Looks like you forgot, but if the
    boy wasn't there to help you,
[10:30] ---
    you'd just be pieces of scrap being
    sold in the Kyusei Pit by now!
[10:35] ---
    Hey, now.
[10:37] ---
    It'd be better to become pieces
    of scrap than get help from a kid.
[10:43] ---
    You're so hard-headed! No, iron-faced!
[10:46] ---
    Wait, that's even worse!
[10:48] ---
    Calm down.
[10:49] ---
    Let's just go, Boy!
[10:51] ---
    We should leave that weird head of his
    alone and eat some mochi-kinchaku!
[10:58] ---
    Well, I guess I'm pretty hungry after going wild.
[11:03] ---
    I guess I can join and eat it just once.
[11:07] ---
    The hotpot.
[11:11] ---
    What was that just now?
[11:12] ---
    Was that supposed to be a thank you?
[11:14] ---
    Jeez, which one is the kid here?!
[11:16] ---
    --I-I won't eat any mochi though!
    --This guy! This guy! Juzo!
[11:18] ---
    --That stuff is so sticky,
    it shouldn't be considered edible!
    --This guy! This guy! Juzo!
[11:21] ---
    --A-Anyways!
    --This guy! This guy! Juzo!
[11:23] ---
    Tetsuro, for now, you should think
    about ways to protect yourself.
[11:29] ---
    --Juzo, that hurts!
[11:29] ---
    --They already know that you're
    staying here with me.
    --Juzo, that hurts!
[11:33] ---
    Even now, it wouldn't surprise me if
    they suddenly attacked this very moment.
[11:51] ---
    Oh, no! This is...
[11:52] ---
    We weren't eavesdropping!
[11:55] ---
    Th-That's right! We were worried
    that the hotpot would get cold...
[12:00] ---
    Damn it... All of you...
[12:04] ---
    Hurry up and get out!!
[12:09] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[12:10] ---
    I'm moving in, starting today.
[12:15] ---
    What?!
[12:17] ---
    Sweepity sweep sweep...
[12:21] ---
    It was easier to get parts in the Kyusei Pit,
[12:25] ---
    "Mary's Extended Examination Office"
[12:25] ---
    "Mary's Extended Examination Office"
    but the anti-extension people have been
    around lately, making it uncomfortable.
[12:32] ---
    Well, I had just finished treating Ende, too.
[12:34] ---
    And I've got to look after you and the boy...
[12:38] ---
    I got a lot of money from fixing Juzo up, too.
[12:44] ---
    So, I've decided to live here.
[12:50] ---
    Do I have to do these maintenance
    check-ups indefinitely?
[12:53] ---
    Well...
[12:55] ---
    Since we aren't replacing the flesh,
    the body needs regular maintenance, too.
[13:02] ---
    On top of that, you're still growing.
[13:05] ---
    We have to do regular maintenance or...
[13:09] ---
    I'm getting a good electric
    response from your muscles.
[13:11] ---
    Looks like there are no problems.
[13:14] ---
    Since they won't move anyways, I wouldn't
    have minded if you had amputated them.
[13:18] ---
    Basic extensions are gentler on the sub-brain.
[13:22] ---
    And, if we amputated them, that's the end.
[13:26] ---
    In the future, once you find something you
    really want to do and you still want to...
[13:32] ---
    ...I'll chop your limbs off and attach
    some really cool extensions.
[13:39] ---
    Huh?
[13:41] ---
    Where'd I put those inner liner replacements?
[13:45] ---
    Mary, why did you become
    an extension engineer?
[13:51] ---
    Oh! Found it! Found it!
[13:54] ---
    I'm going to change yours out for new ones now.
[13:58] ---
    Mary, why did you become an--
[14:00] ---
    I heard you!
[14:04] ---
    Jeez. It's nonsense to ask about a girl's past.
[14:09] ---
    Though, I guess you wouldn't
    understand that, boy.
[14:14] ---
    I've been searching for someone
    for a really long time.
[14:20] ---
    He was a really good mechanic, but he
    went to war as a military engineer.
[14:26] ---
    And he never came back.
[14:32] ---
    He might already be dead, but...
[14:35] ---
    ...I thought, if I continued doing this job,
    I'll be able to see him again someday.
[14:40] ---
    I-I see. I hope you meet him.
[14:47] ---
    Me, too.
[14:50] ---
    Tell me if anything feels off to you, boy.
[14:54] ---
    Sorry for all the trouble, Mary.
[14:56] ---
    Mary!
[14:58] ---
    Come out for a moment!
[15:01] ---
    What's wrong, Christina?
[15:03] ---
    Just hurry up!
[15:04] ---
    An Extended boy just collapsed
    in front of the building.
[15:08] ---
    Take a look at him!
[15:13] ---
    Colt!
[15:15] ---
    He was so heavy...
[15:17] ---
    So, he was one of your patients...
[15:21] ---
    That'll do it.
[15:23] ---
    It was about half a year ago,
    that I found this kid, Colt,
[15:26] ---
    passed out from running out of his meds.
[15:30] ---
    Medicine?
[15:31] ---
    There a lot of people who need meds even
    if they aren't Over-Extended like Juzo.
[15:38] ---
    The illegal extension treatment Colt
    got gave him high-output extensions
[15:44] ---
    that cause a lot of strain on the sub-brain.
[15:47] ---
    He works at a construction
    site to support his family.
[15:52] ---
    In this day and age, there aren't many jobs
    for under-age immigrants with normal bodies.
[15:58] ---
    So, his body became like this...
[16:01] ---
    I've been pushing the limits
    of the extensions for him, but...
[16:04] ---
    ...it looks like it's time to remove the extensions.
[16:09] ---
    Please wait, médico!
[16:12] ---
    I still... Need this body of mine.
[16:18] ---
    That's all I have to thank you, médico.
[16:27] ---
    It has delicate and multiple actuators,
    that are assembled in such a simple way.
[16:32] ---
    Allowing high output without
    depending on artificial muscles!
[16:36] ---
    It looks old-fashioned on the outside,
    but this is the work of a genius!
[16:41] ---
    I can't believe you found something like this!
[16:45] ---
    It's just a piece of junk.
[16:47] ---
    M-More importantly!
[16:49] ---
    I'm about to do a job with a good payout!
[16:51] ---
    Then, I'll be able to pay
    your fees properly, médico.
[16:55] ---
    Good payout?
[16:57] ---
    Yeah. It's a good paying job.
[17:00] ---
    I'll be able to pay for Madr e's surgery.
[17:02] ---
    Is your mother not doing very well?
[17:07] ---
    Médico, you've heard of it, right?
[17:09] ---
    The new extensions from Berühren.
[17:12] ---
    Berühren?
[17:13] ---
    It can't be! Did she become a tester?!
[17:16] ---
    She would get paid and get
    free extension work done.
[17:21] ---
    Madre said that if she got better,
    she would be able to work, too.
[17:26] ---
    But... she wasn't compatible with the
    sub-brain and her nerves were damaged.
[17:32] ---
    The news said the complaints were taken back.
[17:36] ---
    Mentira!
[17:37] ---
    Huh?
[17:37] ---
    Lies! All lies!
[17:40] ---
    Berühren said they wouldn't
    compensate us for the injury!
[17:43] ---
    They're looking down on us!
[17:46] ---
    But, when one door closes,
    another door of opportunity opens up.
[17:51] ---
    If I finish my next job,
    we'll make it through somehow.
[17:54] ---
    Don't be reckless.
[17:56] ---
    I know.
[17:58] ---
    By the way...
[18:02] ---
    ...are you an A cup, médico?
[18:08] ---
    I'm a B.
[18:09] ---
    Practically a C.
[18:11] ---
    Oh... You have more than I thought.
[18:23] ---
    Sorry, médico.
[18:25] ---
    I need this to finish the job this time.
[18:30] ---
    I won't tell Mary.
[18:36] ---
    Return what you stole.
[18:51] ---
    I overdid it!
[19:01] ---
    From now on, this is your home.
[19:03] ---
    Due to your betrayal of the company...
[19:06] ---
    As the organization's representative,
[19:08] ---
    I thank you for your assistance, Master Tetsuro.
[19:16] ---
    Hey, wake up!
[19:20] ---
    What was that just now?
[19:21] ---
    Hey!
[19:22] ---
    Did you do that just now?!
[19:24] ---
    Tell me!
[19:27] ---
    That was awesome!
[19:29] ---
    What did you do?!
[19:31] ---
    I thought my sub-brain got fried
    and I was scared shitless!
[19:35] ---
    No. This is, um...
[19:37] ---
    You seem slow, but you're actually pretty good.
[19:40] ---
    The name's Colt. You?
[19:43] ---
    My name is Tetsuro.
[19:47] ---
    Hey, Tetsuro!
[19:48] ---
    How about helping me with this job?
[19:51] ---
    Job?
[19:52] ---
    Yeah. We just need to cut down
    some branches that grew too long.
[19:56] ---
    I'll do the troublesome work.
[19:58] ---
    There's no need for you to be in any danger.
[20:02] ---
    Does that mean you're going
    to do something bad?
[20:06] ---
    You must have had a lot of resolve
    to get that kind of treatment.
[20:10] ---
    Was it all just to do something like that?
[20:14] ---
    Is that what you really want to do?!
[20:21] ---
    What I want to do, huh?
[20:23] ---
    Isn't wanting to do something for people
    who believe there's a future for them?
[20:35] ---
    Tomorrow, at three.
[20:37] ---
    The Mega Armed Memorial Ground.
[20:39] ---
    Come if you feel like it.
[20:42] ---
    See you later, Tetsuro!
[20:54] ---
    Where the hell did he go?!
[20:56] ---
    M-Mary!
[20:58] ---
    That extension part he
    gave me was made by Victor!
[21:02] ---
    Victor?
[21:04] ---
    The guy I was searching for! My big brother!
[21:10] ---
    "Inui Consulting"
[21:10] ---
    "Inui Consulting"
    Damn it, that Mary...
[21:12] ---
    She took most of the money
    that I got from Olivier!
[21:17] ---
    Ouch.
[21:18] ---
    That's hot!
[21:23] ---
    This office is as drafty as always.
[21:28] ---
    Hey, gun head.
[21:32] ---
    The anti-extension faction known as Spitzbergen.
[21:36] ---
    I'm here to offer you a job to catch a
    man linked to them named Saryshagan.
[23:21] ---
    --I'm gonna show them that
    there's a future ahead of them.
[23:22] ---
    --You can still turn back!
    --I'm gonna show them that
    there's a future ahead of them.
[23:24] ---
    --You immigrant rat!
    --I'm gonna show them that
    there's a future ahead of them.
[23:26] ---
    --That's just committing a regular crime!
    --I'm gonna show them that
    there's a future ahead of them.
[23:28] ---
    Let go of me!
