**[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!
