[00:00] ---
    Huh? Marriage?!
[00:04] ---
    You've gotta be kidding me!
[00:05] ---
    He would use his own daughter
    for the sake of his career?
[00:08] ---
    Ann, calm down.
[00:10] ---
    But has your father always been this way?
[00:13] ---
    Did something trigger it?
[00:17] ---
    When my grandfather was
    president of Okumura Foods,
[00:20] ---
    he ran a small chain of ordinary cafes.
[00:24] ---
    Even now, I clearly remember the scent
    of the coffee my grandfather poured.
[00:29] ---
    Bitter.
[00:31] ---
    His policy was, "for the sake of a smile."
[00:35] ---
    He never cared about profit,
[00:37] ---
    and even welcomed those
    who would linger on a single cup.
[00:40] ---
    He'd even give out free meals
    to those who couldn't afford it.
[00:44] ---
    So there were always plenty
    of smiles at the shop.
[00:48] ---
    But the company lost a lot of revenue,
[00:52] ---
    and shut down the cafe
    after my grandfather passed.
[00:55] ---
    My father followed suit, but enacted
    a policy that favored profits.
[01:01] ---
    Thanks to that, Okumura Foods
    grew into a big business, but...
[01:05] ---
    It became known as a "sweatshop."
[01:08] ---
    I don't want to marry that man,
    and I'm sick of following orders.
[01:12] ---
    Above all, it's hard to look at
    my father as he is.
[01:16] ---
    I want him to be the kind man
    that he used to be. That's why...
[01:21] ---
    Haru...
[01:22] ---
    What will you do?
[01:24] ---
    It's clear that Okumura Foods
    is a dirty business.
[01:27] ---
    Plus tons of requests on the Phan-Site
    want us to take it down.
[01:30] ---
    We each have a shared interest.
[01:32] ---
    Okay. Let's do it.
[01:34] ---
    - Yeah!
    - Good!
[01:36] ---
    When's the appointed day?
[01:38] ---
    The day you were told to
    move to his family's house.
[01:41] ---
    September 30th.
[03:15] ---
    We don't know what lies beyond this door,
    so don't let your guard down.
[03:19] ---
    U-Um...
[03:21] ---
    I may not be of any help, but I'll fight. So...
[03:26] ---
    No, just stay on the sidelines this time.
[03:28] ---
    Why?
[03:29] ---
    Haru isn't used to battle yet.
[03:32] ---
    Most importantly,
    her Persona's power is weak.
[03:34] ---
    Weak?
[03:36] ---
    Really?
[03:37] ---
    B-But...
[03:39] ---
    I admire your spirit,
    but leave this to us for now.
[03:43] ---
    We don't mind if you depend on us.
[03:46] ---
    Okay, understood. Thank you.
[03:49] ---
    By the way, what was that "Beauty Thief"
    you were callin' yourself about?
[03:54] ---
    I was curious about that, too.
[03:57] ---
    That was, um...
[03:59] ---
    I was trying to be a heroine of justice.
[04:02] ---
    When I was little, I idolized
    female superheroes I saw on TV.
[04:06] ---
    They always fought for others,
    and they were always happy.
[04:10] ---
    I wanted to be just like that.
[04:11] ---
    Sure, why not?
[04:13] ---
    Everyone goes wild over
    heroes at some point.
[04:16] ---
    All right, enough chitchat.
[04:19] ---
    There's no knowing what's on the other side.
[04:21] ---
    Haru, please.
[04:26] ---
    What are you doing here, Haru?
[04:30] ---
    Father...
[04:32] ---
    I thought I told you not to
    associate with vulgar people!
[04:35] ---
    So the boss himself suddenly appears.
[04:39] ---
    Did he come into the Palace, too?!
[04:41] ---
    No. Remember what I explained earlier?
[04:44] ---
    This is a cognitive form.
[04:46] ---
    Mr. Okumura, we don't need a girl
    who's been soiled by thieves.
[04:50] ---
    Unless you make some compromises...
[04:53] ---
    Understood. She needn't be
    your lawful wife anymore...
[04:56] ---
    Take her as your lover,
    or whatever you desire.
[04:59] ---
    As long as I, her father, receive benefits.
[05:03] ---
    Then we have a deal.
[05:06] ---
    What's this about?
[05:08] ---
    You've merely been a stepping stool
    from the very beginning.
[05:13] ---
    Soon, I will rise to a new stage,
    the political world!
[05:16] ---
    So be a good foundation for me.
[05:20] ---
    Then you can do what you want with her.
[05:24] ---
    Bastard! Get back here!
[05:26] ---
    A high school fiancée is such a turn-on!
[05:30] ---
    Let's have fun.
    I'll play with you until I get bored!
[05:41] ---
    Crap! Haru's Persona won't stand a chance!
[05:46] ---
    Don't worry!
[05:47] ---
    She just hadn't awakened
    to her real power!
[05:50] ---
    Y-You'd dare to defy me?!
[05:55] ---
    I see you finally made up your mind...
[05:58] ---
    my dear, fated princess.
[06:02] ---
    Freedom for you must stem from betrayal.
[06:05] ---
    If you still yearn for it now...
[06:08] ---
    ...then you must not err.
[06:10] ---
    Tell me, who shall you betray?
[06:14] ---
    My heart has been set for some time now.
[06:17] ---
    Yes, that gaze...
    I can finally display my true power.
[06:22] ---
    I am thou, thou art I...
[06:25] ---
    Let us adorn your departure into
    freedom with a beautiful betrayal.
[06:30] ---
    Geez!
[06:32] ---
    Farewell, dear Father.
[06:35] ---
    I am no longer your subservient puppet!
[06:38] ---
    You little bitch!
[06:40] ---
    Milady!
[06:47] ---
    Whoa!
[06:48] ---
    I thought she was supposed to be weak!
[06:50] ---
    Now!
[06:58] ---
    We settled that with style.
[07:04] ---
    He disappeared! Is that okay?
[07:07] ---
    Don't worry.
[07:08] ---
    Cognitive beings have no correlation to
    their real-world counterparts.
[07:12] ---
    When we get back,
    he'll be as healthy as ever.
[07:14] ---
    What were you sayin' about
    her Persona bein' weak?
[07:19] ---
    I did it! I really did it, Mona-chan!
[07:21] ---
    Yeah. You were great.
[07:23] ---
    So does this mean we got a new teammate?
[07:26] ---
    Good to have ya, um...
[07:28] ---
    She already has a code name.
[07:30] ---
    You can call me "Noir."
[07:33] ---
    Noir?
[07:34] ---
    It means "black" in French.
[07:37] ---
    I'd like to be a heroine of justice,
[07:39] ---
    but the Phantom Thieves are on
    the darker side of the law.
[07:42] ---
    I chose the name Noir to remind me of that.
[07:45] ---
    There you have it.
[07:46] ---
    Quite an elaborate backstory.
[07:48] ---
    I like it.
[07:50] ---
    Um, then I look forward to
    working with you, Noir.
[07:53] ---
    - Me too.
    - Ditto!
[07:55] ---
    Yes, same here!
[07:59] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[08:01] ---
    You mean changing my father's heart?
[08:04] ---
    Good question...
[08:06] ---
    It'll become a criminal case,
    and lawsuits will come to light.
[08:11] ---
    The label of a "criminal's daughter"
    will forever stick with you.
[08:16] ---
    I don't mind.
[08:18] ---
    I've been prepared for that ever since
    I first heard rumors about the company.
[08:24] ---
    I've actually left a request on
    the Phantom Aficionado site before.
[08:27] ---
    SUBMIT
[08:28] ---
    I wanted to change
    my father's heart so badly...
[08:30] ---
    If I accept a happiness based on
    the misfortune of others,
[08:33] ---
    I'll be no better than my father.
[08:37] ---
    So...
[08:39] ---
    I get it.
[08:50] ---
    There! There it is! This is it!
[08:53] ---
    This is the Treasure?
[08:54] ---
    Right!
[08:55] ---
    We just need to leave
    a calling card and steal it.
[08:58] ---
    I'm counting on you, Noir.
[08:59] ---
    R-Right!
[09:03] ---
    "Sir Kunikazu Okumura,
    the great profiteering sinner of greed.
[09:08] ---
    Your success and global fame exists due to
    the tyranny you rain over your employees.
[09:14] ---
    Thus, we have decided to make you confess
    all your crimes with your own mouth.
[09:19] ---
    From, the Phantom Thieves."
[09:24] ---
    What a nuisance.
[09:26] ---
    I will not be the loser here!
[09:34] ---
    It's me.
[09:35] ---
    I've received a calling card
    from the Phantom Thieves.
[09:38] ---
    I need you to send it over to the police.
[09:40] ---
    I won't repeat it!
    I'm the victim here!
[09:43] ---
    Aren't the police supposed to side
    with law-abiding citizens?
[09:49] ---
    The authorities say that Kunikazu Okumura,
    CEO of Okumura Foods,
[09:53] ---
    has received a calling card from
    the Phantom Thieves at his residence today.
[10:00] ---
    That's audacious.
[10:02] ---
    Going to the police himself...
[10:05] ---
    Normally the person wouldn't want
    the police involved.
[10:07] ---
    Whoa! The comments are coming in hot!
[10:11] ---
    "Take him down, Phantom Thieves!"
[10:13] ---
    "I don't care what the Phantom Thieves do
    as long as they show up."
[10:16] ---
    "Just hurry it up."
[10:18] ---
    We're starting to be seen
    purely as entertainment...
[10:22] ---
    But we can't just drop everything now!
[10:25] ---
    Of course not!
[10:26] ---
    Then there're the mental collapses cases.
[10:28] ---
    Okumura must know something about it!
[10:30] ---
    Let's change his heart
    and grill him for everything he knows!
[10:36] ---
    Let's get the Treasure.
[10:38] ---
    What is that?!
[10:41] ---
    A UFO?!
[10:43] ---
    That's what they're making here?
[10:44] ---
    Project Escape to Utopia will soon enter its
    launch sequence from the shipbuilding dock.
[10:47] ---
    Escape to Utopia?
[10:50] ---
    Father did say he was going to ascend
    into the political world...
[10:50] ---
    After retrieval of the main core,
    the launch sequence will commence.
[10:53] ---
    In other words, he'll discard
    this place and fly away.
[10:56] ---
    To his "utopia."
[10:58] ---
    Not if we can help it!
[11:02] ---
    This base will self-destruct
    as the ship launches.
[11:05] ---
    You can all stand and watch in despair
    as you go down along with it!
[11:11] ---
    Th-This could be bad!
[11:18] ---
    Hold it right there, Mr. CEO!
[11:23] ---
    Let's end it here, Father.
[11:25] ---
    Right now, there's still time.
[11:27] ---
    Strive for the sake of
    your employees, not yourself–
[11:29] ---
    Nonsense.
[11:31] ---
    Haru, I'll give you one last chance.
[11:34] ---
    Choose. Come with me or die with them.
[11:39] ---
    So then I'm a just a puppet?
[11:43] ---
    Leave while Okumura Foods
    is being called a sweatshop?
[11:47] ---
    What happiness can be found through profit
    gained by crushing the hearts of others?!
[11:51] ---
    Better that than fail!
[11:54] ---
    I'd rather destroy others than
    wallow in the misery of debt!
[11:56] ---
    I shall soon set sail into the political realm.
[12:00] ---
    To the upper echelons of the world!
[12:02] ---
    To utopia!
[12:04] ---
    My name shall be etched into history!
[12:06] ---
    Bastard!
[12:07] ---
    So make your decision, Haru.
[12:12] ---
    I told you before, remember?
[12:14] ---
    For your sake, I'll do my best in my own way.
[12:19] ---
    This is your answer.
[12:23] ---
    Foolish girl.
[12:25] ---
    As your daughter, I'm going to stop you!
[12:28] ---
    You won't get out alive!
[12:31] ---
    Observe the organized power
    of Okumura Foods!
[12:35] ---
    Go, my employees!
[12:37] ---
    Be the foundation
    upon which my victory is built!
[12:40] ---
    So he would use and abandon them too.
[12:42] ---
    He ticks me off!
[12:44] ---
    Carmen!
[12:52] ---
    More?!
[12:53] ---
    Every problem can be solved
    with more manpower.
[12:56] ---
    That's the strength of my company.
[12:58] ---
    It's nothing to be proud of!
[13:00] ---
    Either way, we're takin' you down!
[13:02] ---
    Without a doubt!
[13:06] ---
    Captain Kidd!
[13:07] ---
    Goemon!
[13:15] ---
    They're still standing?!
[13:17] ---
    Be careful!
[13:18] ---
    They're stronger than the last ones!
[13:22] ---
    Now this is manpower!
[13:24] ---
    That's what big business is about! Go!
[13:29] ---
    With those guys shielding him,
    our attacks can't get through!
[13:32] ---
    Take them all down!
[13:33] ---
    Right!
[13:47] ---
    Sweep them aside, Goemon!
[14:11] ---
    Leave it to me!
[14:14] ---
    We're healed?!
[14:15] ---
    Good job!
[14:17] ---
    It seems ordinary workers
    are not fit for the job!
[14:20] ---
    Executive Director, come!
[14:22] ---
    Fulfill your duty as my right-hand man!
[14:25] ---
    The prosperity of my company
    depends on your work!
[14:28] ---
    What a selfish thing to say!
[14:31] ---
    Let's knock 'em down!
[14:38] ---
    Zorro!
[14:48] ---
    Hecatoncheires!
[14:58] ---
    Father...
[15:00] ---
    This is my resolve!
[15:09] ---
    Now, everybody together!
[15:17] ---
    Problem solved!
[15:24] ---
    I'm sorry, Haru.
[15:28] ---
    For my thoughtless remarks...
[15:32] ---
    I'm sorry...
[15:34] ---
    Father...
[15:36] ---
    Answer one question.
[15:38] ---
    Were you behind all the breakdowns
    and mental shutdowns?
[15:42] ---
    N-No! It wasn't me!
[15:45] ---
    All I did was make requests...
    to eliminate my competitors.
[15:50] ---
    Requests?
[15:51] ---
    What have I done?
[15:54] ---
    Who did you make requests to?!
[15:56] ---
    Stop crying and tell us!
[15:58] ---
    Emergency! Emergency!
[15:59] ---
    I think we're in trouble!
[16:01] ---
    Is the Palace collapsing?!
[16:02] ---
    Mr. CEO!
[16:04] ---
    No good.
[16:05] ---
    We'll have to inquire in the real world!
[16:08] ---
    - Let's hurry!
    - What about Father?
[16:10] ---
    Don't worry! We'll be dead if we're
    not out of here soon though!
[16:15] ---
    Father...
[16:16] ---
    Only you can follow through
    on your own responsibilities...
[16:20] ---
    That is what you taught me, Father.
[16:26] ---
    I'm sorry, Haru.
[16:28] ---
    From this point on,
    I'll turn over a new leaf.
[16:33] ---
    Instead of prioritizing profit,
[16:35] ---
    my policy will be to sympathize
    with the employees... with people.
[16:44] ---
    Haru... Let's go back...
[16:47] ---
    Like we were then...
[16:50] ---
    All of us...
[16:53] ---
    Laughing...
[17:05] ---
    We made a great miscalculation, Inmate!
[17:07] ---
    Contrary to our assumptions, it seems
    you have turned out to be quite promising.
[17:12] ---
    Rehabilitation is proceeding smoothly.
[17:15] ---
    So I'll give you one piece of advice.
[17:18] ---
    Being at the peak may mean you are
    mere moments from your downfall.
[17:26] ---
    Unexpected situations are necessary
    in a "game," after all.
[17:34] ---
    You did all of these yourself, Haru?
[17:37] ---
    Yeah. I got permission from the school.
    Since there's a lot of sunlight on the roof.
[17:43] ---
    Wasn't it hard lugging up all the soil?
[17:46] ---
    Not at all. Plus, I enjoy doing this.
[17:50] ---
    So how's your old man afterwards?
[17:52] ---
    He's still shut up in his study, and doesn't give
    a decent response when I call to him.
[17:57] ---
    His voice lacks energy, too.
[18:01] ---
    Will he become like the others?
[18:03] ---
    It was the same way with Madarame.
[18:05] ---
    We just have to wait.
[18:07] ---
    I suppose...
[18:09] ---
    Sorry.
[18:11] ---
    Then we gotta celebrate our success
    and have a welcome party for you!
[18:14] ---
    Right.
[18:15] ---
    Celebrate?
[18:16] ---
    It's something we always do.
[18:18] ---
    Like a self-congratulatory party.
[18:20] ---
    Know any good places?
[18:22] ---
    I feel like eating eel onigiri!
[18:24] ---
    Isn't that too hoity-toity?
    We're high school students!
[18:27] ---
    How about you, Ren? Any ideas?
[18:31] ---
    An amusement park.
[18:32] ---
    Actually...
[18:40] ---
    The entire park?!
[18:41] ---
    We had originally book it for a company party.
[18:45] ---
    But we had to call it off
    because of the scandal.
[18:49] ---
    We couldn't get the money back
    if we canceled, so enjoy, okay?
[18:54] ---
    If that's the case...
[18:56] ---
    Awesome!
[18:58] ---
    Amazing!
[19:02] ---
    That looks delicious!
[19:05] ---
    Isn't it hot?
[19:07] ---
    It's fine. After all– Hot!
[19:09] ---
    Come to think of it,
    this time the Treasure was a plastic model.
[19:14] ---
    Why was that?
[19:16] ---
    When Father was a child,
    there was a plastic model he really wanted.
[19:21] ---
    But his own father couldn't buy it
    since his business was going under.
[19:25] ---
    So in response, he pursued his own
    happiness at the expense of others.
[19:31] ---
    But still...
[19:33] ---
    When Grandfather's cafe closed
    due of financial difficulties...
[19:39] ---
    Father cried.
[19:42] ---
    I believe they were tears of joy.
[19:46] ---
    If he has a change of heart,
    I'm sure he'll return to the way he was.
[19:50] ---
    Yeah. Thank you.
[19:53] ---
    It's almost time for
    the press conference, isn't it?
[19:56] ---
    Let's watch! Let's watch!
[20:01] ---
    Today, I'd like to elaborate upon the truth
    behind my company's labor situation.
[20:08] ---
    Severe working conditions,
    lax sanitation standards,
[20:12] ---
    and how my corporation acted as a whole.
[20:14] ---
    It's all true.
[20:17] ---
    For all this,
    I wholeheartedly apologize.
[20:21] ---
    Father...
[20:23] ---
    We heard dozens of your employees were
    forced to resign due to mysterious illness.
[20:28] ---
    Furthermore, these were officials who opposed
    your proposal for overseas expansion.
[20:32] ---
    He's finally gonna talk about
    the mental shutdown cases.
[20:35] ---
    Was it all a coincidence?
[20:39] ---
    Yes, this is all according to plan.
[20:43] ---
    Well?
[20:45] ---
    About that...
[20:47] ---
    I have a critical piece of information
    to announce here today...
[20:50] ---
    Well, we've lost a convenient
    source of income,
[20:53] ---
    but we'll dispose of our connection
    and the Phantom Thieves at once.
[20:56] ---
    We're killing two birds with one stone.
[21:01] ---
    Actually...
[21:06] ---
    Mr. Okumura!
[21:08] ---
    Mr. Okumura, what's wrong?!
[21:13] ---
    Hey!
[21:20] ---
    An ambulance! Call an ambulance!
[21:21] ---
    Please turn off the cameras!
    Turn them off!
[21:24] ---
    PLEASE STAND BY
[21:26] ---
    What was that?!
[21:27] ---
    I don't know.
[21:30] ---
    Haru!
[21:37] ---
    No!
[23:13] ---
    Is that the footage from earlier?
[23:15] ---
    It's just a theory, but perhaps Okumura
    was bitten by his lapdog.
[23:21] ---
    There might have been
    a falling out of sorts with Okumura,
[23:24] ---
    so the Phantom Thieves
    covered their tracks.
[23:28] ---
    There's also the possibility that
    the Phantom Thieves didn't do it.
[23:33] ---
    So what?! Where's your proof?
[23:36] ---
    I have none yet.
[23:38] ---
    Everything is set up
    to investigate Shujin's principal.
[23:41] ---
    And we're searching the Okumura
    residence tomorrow.
[23:43] ---
    I'm sure some evidence will turn up.
[23:46] ---
    We can use Okumura's daughter,
    who goes to Shujin, if needed.
[23:52] ---
    I won't let anyone else have them.
[23:55] ---
    The one who will arrest them will be me!
