    Damn it!
[00:15] Brian
    Nope, we lost him.
[00:18] Brian
    And my brand-new jacket is wrecked, too.
[00:21] Danny
    That rat! Did he
    actually hide in the sewer—
[00:28] Brian
    Bastard!
[00:30] Brian
    Danny, are you dead?
[00:32] Danny
    No, I'm good.
[00:33] Danny
    Go after him, quick!
[00:35] Brian
    Don't you die on me if you want
    your money back, all right?!
[00:44] Brian
    Stop!
[00:45] Brian
    Drop your gun.

    No, no, no, no...
[01:07] Brian
    Are you... kidding me?!
[01:10] Brian
    Damn it! How can I...
[01:15] Brian
    Man, I borrowed money to buy this thing.
[01:42] Brian
    Now you're finished, you piece of shit.
[01:47] Diego
    Fine. You win.
[01:56] Brian
    You bastard—

    P-Please! Don't do it!

    I-I'll keep quiet!
[02:05] Diego
    I won't tell anyone about you guys.

    Hey, what are you talking about?!

    You're all immigrants.
    Show me your certificates.
[02:40] Brian
    Gimme a break! How was
    that considered suicide?!
[02:43] Sakaki
    A petty drug dealer shot himself in the head
    because he was afraid of getting arrested.
[02:49] Sakaki
    The only fingerprints found
    on the weapon were his.
[02:53] Sakaki
    What was it, if not suicide?
[02:54] Brian
    I'm telling you, he didn't shoot himself!
[02:57] Brian
    It was like he was being
    manipulated by something...
[03:00] Sakaki
    Don't tell me you were on drugs!
[03:02] Brian
    Like hell I was!
[03:03] Brian
    This isn't a normal case.
[03:06] Brian
    There's something real bad going on behind it.
[03:08] Sakaki
    In any case, vice is out of our jurisdiction.
[03:12] Sakaki
    On top of that, you could be charged with
     destruction of property and forced entry.
[03:16] Sakaki
    How much more do you want to
    tack on? Illegal investigation, maybe?
[03:19] Brian
    And that's why I've got a top arrest rate!

    in your precious collection
    right here, didn't it?!
[03:30] Sakaki
    Danny is dead.
[03:32] Sakaki
    I have turned a blind eye to your
    reckless investigations so far.
[03:36] Sakaki
    But I cannot let someone who let his
    partner die continue to wear a badge.
[03:47] Brian
    So you're firing me?
[03:50] Sakaki
    Leave your gun and your badge here.
[03:52] Sakaki
    And don't forget to submit
    a letter of apology.
[03:55] Sakaki
    Even if you're fired, the rule still applies—
[03:57] Brian
    This is bullshit!
[03:59] Brian
    I'm not gonna take this crap!
[04:00] Brian
    Don't you dare waste Danny's death!
[04:03] Sakaki
    Hey, someone stop him!

    Mr. Brian Nightraider
    
    After careful consideration and vigorous screening,
    we are pleased to offer you the position with our organization.
[06:26] Brian
    Marginal Service?
[06:29] Theodore
    We were established a month ago,
    initiated by the government.
[06:33] Theodore
    We're still in our trial phase, though.
[06:39] Theodore
    You were born in East Dakota.
[06:43] Theodore
    Later on, you immigrated to Japan.
[06:46] Theodore
    You were assigned to the
    1st Division's Enforcement Unit
[06:49] Theodore
    at the Shibujuku Station five years ago.
[06:52] Theodore
    Oh, you like? It's tea from the Inca Empire.
[06:57] Theodore
    A rare, indispensable product
[06:58] Theodore
    in the process of creating a mummy
    during the sacrificial ritual.
[07:03] Theodore
    I'm kidding.
[07:04] Theodore
    It's Pau d'Arco tea. Good for your
     health and promotes longevity.
[07:08] Theodore
    You've been written up
    countless times for brutality,
[07:09] Theodore
    forcible entry, and
    unauthorized investigation.
[07:11] Theodore
    Your letters of apology made
    a stack as thick as a dictionary.
[07:15] Brian
    And my arrest rate was at the
    top for five years in a row.
[07:19] Theodore
    Yes, I asked for you because I expect
    good results based on your record.
[07:24] Brian
    And what am I investigating?
[07:27] Brian
    Yakuza? Mafia? Or drug cartels?
[07:31] Brian
    Don't tell me we're busting porn shops.
[07:34] Theodore
    Borderlanders.
[07:37] Brian
    Borderlanders?
[07:39] Theodore
    That's a term for unidentified mysterious
    creatures that coexist with us in this society.
[07:45] Brian
    Huh? Unidentified mysterious creatures?
[07:49] Theodore
    This has not been disclosed to the public yet,
[07:51] Theodore
    but these creatures have the same
    rights as the regular citizens
[07:54] Theodore
    and coexist with us humans in this society.
[07:57] Theodore
    In other words, Borderlanders.

[08:00] Theodore
    I fully expect you to be perplexed,
[08:02] Theodore
    but there have been numerous documents
    throughout history that prove their existence.
[08:07] Brian
    Hold on a second. Are you
    talking about UMAs and monsters?
[08:12] Theodore
    In Japan, there are about 10,000 of them.
[08:14] Theodore
    Obviously, many could be fakes,
    but there are some that seem authentic—
[08:20] Brian
    This is bullshit!
[08:22] Brian
    Man, I came here for this when I'm hungover?
[08:25] Theodore
    You know about the attempted
    assassination of the Minister
[08:28] Theodore
    and the bombing of the Immigration Bureau?
[08:31] Theodore
    I'd like you to investigate such cases
    that involve Borderlanders.
[08:35] Brian
    Hey, I never agreed to anything!
[08:37] Brian
    Other investigators are downstairs.
    Let me introduce them to you.
[08:42] Brian
    Like I said—
[08:48] Brian
    Hey, what's going on?
[09:04] Theodore
    Welcome to the Marginal Service.
[09:08] Theodore
    First, I'll introduce you to the members.
[09:13] Theodore
    This is Brian, our newcomer.
[09:16] Theodore
    Until last week, he was
    at the Shibujuku Station—
[09:19] Brian
    Before anything, let me clear up one thing.
[09:22] Brian
    Are you all normal humans?
[09:26] Robin
    What a greeting.
[09:28] Bolts
    How about you?
[09:30] Lyra
    When it comes to beauty,
    I'm obviously beyond "normal."
[09:34] Cyrus
    I'm sleepy.
[09:36] Theodore
    We've all had rather peculiar careers,
    but we're humans, more or less.
[09:41] Brian
    What do you mean, "more or less"?
[09:43] Robin
    Come on, relax a little, rookie.
[09:46] Robin
    I couldn't believe it myself in the beginning.
[09:48] Bolts
    Drink this and calm down.
[09:51] Brian
    And this is?
[09:52] Bolts
    A protein shake.
[09:54] Brian
    Thanks, but no thanks.
[09:56] Bolts
    Ah. You like it shaken up hard.
[09:59] Brian
    Uh, no.
[10:00] Theodore
    Anyhow, let's introduce ourselves.
[10:02] Theodore
    We're a team, after all.
[10:05] Cyrus
    I have no intention of making friends.
[10:07] Cyrus
    I'm sure our intelligence
    levels are different.
[10:09] Robin
    Same here. I can't be hanging out with
    a wimpy introvert, or it'll rub off on me!
[10:14] Bolts
    What? But I'm an extrovert.
[10:16] Robin
    I'm not talking about you, Yankee.
[10:18] Bolts
    What do you want, Limey?
[10:20] Robin
    Well, I don't plan on
    showing up at your barbecue.
[10:23] Lyra
    Oh? I love some meat, myself.
[10:26] Lyra
    But I prefer mine a bloody, blue rare.
[10:28] Cyrus
    This workplace is truly
    overflowing with intelligence.
[10:31] Cyrus
    Changing jobs was completely the right call.
[10:35] Brian
    Setting the Borderlander stuff aside,
[10:38] Brian
    let's just pretend that this never happened.
[10:42] Brian
    What now? There's more of you?
[10:45] Zeno
    Who's he?
[10:46] Theodore
    The new recruit I told you about.
[10:49] Theodore
    Although he says he's not
    interested in joining us.
[10:52] Zeno
    Move.
[10:53] Brian
    You move.
[10:55] Zeno
    Don't make me repeat myself.
[10:57] Brian
    Huh? You're some old dude who
    doesn't know how to communica—
[11:00] Brian
    Ow!
[11:06] Brian
    Ouch... You bastard!
[11:09] Brian
    Huh?
[11:10] Zeno
    Obtained from a law enforcement agency.
[11:12] Zeno
    It's a new drug going around
    these days, called Confu.
[11:16] Zeno
    I'm still investigating, but a component
    from some legendary magic mushrooms
[11:21] Zeno
    used in ancient Aztec
    rituals was detected in it.
[11:25] Zeno
    Those are special mushrooms
    only grown in a certain area.
[11:28] Zeno
    It is very likely that a Borderlander
    terrorist organization is involved.
[11:32] Robin
    Are they selling the drug to
    make money to arm themselves?
[11:34] Bolts
    No doubt.
[11:35] Lyra
    We'd better look into it
    from that point of view.
[11:38] Brian
    Hey, hold on!
[11:40] Brian
    Try actually explaining this!
[11:42] Zeno
    This doesn't concern you.
[11:44] Brian
    It didn't a minute ago!
[11:47] Brian
    But it does now.
[11:59] Zeno
    Didn't I tell you not to sit down?
[12:02] Brian
    My partner was killed in
    a case related to some drug.
[12:04] Brian
    I want to know the truth.
[12:06] Zeno
    Then pay me the cleaning fee
    for the seat later.
[12:09] Zeno
    And half the cost of the gas.
[12:11] Brian
    You're kidding, right?
[12:12] Zeno
    I don't know you well enough for jokes.
[12:14] Brian
    I guess you're right.
SIGN    The Third Immigrant Area
[12:19] Brian
    UMAs, monsters, or whatever
    it is... Do they really exist?
[12:23] Zeno
    They're called Borderlanders.
    Use the correct terminology.
[12:27] Brian
    And are why these Borderlanders
    acting like terrorists?
[12:31] Brian
    Are they organized? For what purpose?
[12:33] Zeno
    It is our job to find that out.
    Keep your mouth shut for a second.
[12:38] Brian
    Do you always take that attitude?
[12:43] Brian
    My old man was just like you.
[12:46] Brian
    He was only interested in himself,
    and he always looked down on everyone else.
[12:51] Brian
    In short, he was a douchebag.
[12:53] Zeno
    If you have an inferiority complex regarding
     your father, take it up with him.
[12:57] Brian
    He disappeared when I was five.
[13:01] Brian
    I became a detective to find him
    and punch him in the face.
[13:06] Brian
    That bastard!
[13:07] Brian
    He'll probably get arrested for
    drug possession or petty theft.
[13:14] Zeno
    I couldn't care less.

     someone who wants to listen to your story.

[13:40] Brian
    You're not gonna tell me, "We're in
    the middle of investigation," are you?
[13:44] Brian
    We'd be more suspicious if we
    weren't drinking in this situation.
[13:47] Zeno
    You're right about that.
[13:49] Zeno
    But I've got no need for you to buy me a drink.
[13:54] Brian
    You could have told me!
[13:55] Brian
    But drug deals at a place like this?
[13:58] Brian
    I don't think they marked
    this place at the station.
[14:00] Zeno
    It's based on intel the police don't have.
[14:03] Brian
    But you're taking the seized articles with you?

    So my boss wasn't even human, huh?
[15:20] Brian
    But why deal drugs? Money?
[15:22] Zeno
    Traits of Borderlanders, number two.
[15:24] Zeno
    They have unique religious views and thought
    processes. They're hard to understand.
[15:29] Brian
    Still, the guy is an elite.
    Why would he dabble in crimes?
[15:32] Zeno
    No matter how much they
    seem to adapt to society,
[15:34] Zeno
    there are those who get involved in crime.
[15:36] Zeno
    Same as humans.

    Their cells have extremely
    high regenerative capacity.
[16:47] Zeno
    In other words, they're hard to kill.
