[00:01] Zeno/I
    Ever since that day, I've lived my
    days counting things that I've lost.
[00:10] Zeno/I
    You can't take back what you've lost.
[00:14] Zeno/I
    I know that.
[00:18] Zeno/I
    But still...
[00:21] Zeno/I
    I keep on resisting...
[00:24] Zeno/I
    the world.
SIGN    When You Wish Upon a Star, a Star Shall Have the Guitar and Perfume
[02:00] Brian
    Why can't we investigate?!
[02:02] Brian
    He took the weapon and the classified data!
[02:06] Theodore
    Zeno is not a Borderlander.
[02:08] Theodore
    He is outside of our jurisdiction.
[02:11] Brian
    But he took Isabella, who is a Borderlander!
[02:16] Brian
    So shouldn't we move
    immediately to recover her?!
[02:20] Theodore
    It'll take a while for her "change
    of address" to be considered illegal.
[02:26] Brian
    Huh?!
[02:27] Brian
    "Change of address"?!
[02:29] Theodore
    Data management is
    the job of the higher-ups.
[02:32] Theodore
    What we can do is...
[02:34] Brian
    Let me interrogate Rubber.
[02:36] Brian
    Then we might be able to find a clue!
[02:39] Theodore
    We don't know where he's imprisoned.
[02:42] Theodore
    This case is tied directly
    to an UN executive.
[02:45] Theodore
    If we investigate without authorization...
[02:47] Bolts
    I guess job hunting is in order.
[02:48] Lyra
    Quitting the job to get married
    isn't a thing anymore.
[02:51] Cyrus
    That's the fate of government employees.
[02:54] Robin
    But it's hard to imagine Zeno
    doing something so stupid.
[02:57] Robin
    If we give him time,
    he might come back on his own.
[02:59] Brian
    This isn't a middle schooler
    running away from home!
[03:01] Brian
    While we dawdle, he might...
[03:03] Lyra
    Might what?
[03:05] Brian
    He might die.
[03:11] Lyra
    Don't be so dramatic.
[03:13] Robin
    He's the type who won't die even if it kills him.
[03:15] Bolts
    His muscles are adequate for survival.
[03:18] Cyrus
    His mentality seems strong, as well.
[03:20] Brian
    He hasn't been able to move on
    since what happened ten years ago.
[03:25] Brian
    He doesn't care about his life.
[03:27] Brian
    That's what his eyes looked like.
[03:31] Lyra
    And you think Borderlanders are involved
    in the case from ten years ago?
[03:36] Cyrus
    That's what Zeno seems to believe,
    judging from how he took Isabella with him.
[03:40] Robin
    I guess we'll have to start from there.
[03:43] Bolts
    I'll ask around at my gym.
[03:47] Theodore
    Very well.
[03:48] Theodore
    I'll try my best to look the other way.
[03:57] Isabella
    I understand your situation now.
[03:59] Isabella
    And where are we headed?
[04:02] Zeno
    First, I need to look into the
    circumstances from back then.
[04:06] Isabella
    How did you get the information
    about this symbol?
[04:09] Zeno
    If Borderlanders can do it, so can humans.
[04:14] Zeno
    You withheld information about Rubber's
    case and the case from ten years ago.
[04:19] Zeno
    You betrayed Brian's trust.
[04:23] Isabella
    Brian?
[04:25] Isabella
    Oh, that guy.
[04:27] Isabella
    You're in the same boat when
    it comes to betraying trust.
[04:30] Zeno
    I don't like him.
[04:32] Isabella
    Because he has a way of
    letting himself into your heart?
[04:36] Zeno
    From now on, you tell me
    everything you know.
[04:39] Zeno
    Even if Borderlanders are hard
    to kill, you can be killed.
[04:43] Isabella
    You think threats work on me?
[04:46] Zeno
    It's a deal.
[04:48] Zeno
    And not a bad one for you Borderlanders.

[05:05] Robin
    I checked out Zeno's home,
    but it felt so empty there.
[05:09] Bolts
    Just a bed and a cup.
[05:12] Bolts
    No dumbbells or protein.
[05:14] Lyra
    He was last seen on the surveillance
    camera near Jukai at 9:25 PM last night.
[05:22] Brian
    Jukai?
[05:23] Theodore
    The reactions from the
    higher-ups haven't changed.
[05:26] Theodore
    All we've been assigned to
     is protecting civilians
[05:29] Theodore
    from potential terrorists
    who oppose the new bill.
[05:32] Robin
    Honestly, we're in a stalemate.
[05:34] Lyra
    I've accessed all the data that
    caught my eye, but I got nothing.
[05:38] Cyrus
    We'll have to look into past cases, as well.
[05:46] Brian
    Nothing good happens to
    anyone who becomes my partner.
[05:52] Brian
    I'm gonna lose another buddy at this rate.
[05:56] Brian
    I'm too ashamed to face you, Danny.
[06:00] Peck
    Yup, with a face like that, you'd look
    better if you wore Theodore's mask.
[06:04] Brian
    Yo, that's going too—
[06:07] Brian
    Peck? How did you find me here?
[06:09] Peck
    I just followed the scent of misery.
[06:12] Brian
    Well, excuse me.
[06:14] Peck
    With your small brain,
    it's pointless to think.
[06:18] Peck
    You need some help from someone smarter.
[06:21] Brian
    And you think that's you?
[06:23] Brian
    Sorry, but I haven't fallen low
    enough to ask for a rat's help.
[06:27] Peck
    I'm not a rat!
[06:29] Peck
    Can a rat do this?
[06:31] Brian
    What's that?
[06:32] Peck
    It's a backup of that guy.
    My Lyra was secretly holding on to it.
[06:36] Brian
    "That guy"?
[06:38] Brian
    You don't mean...
[06:49] Eddie/I
    What do you want?
[06:51] Eddie/I
    Don't wake me up.
[06:53] Eddie/I
    I wanted to stay shut down.
[06:55] Brian
    I need you, the cyber brain master,
    to find where Zeno is.
[06:59] Eddie/I
    I'm retired, okay?
[07:02] Eddie/I
    I'm done with data and the internet.
[07:04] Eddie/I
    I don't want to know
    what I don't want to know.
[07:08] Peck
    Ha, are you still hung up
    on Lyra dumping you?
[07:12] (Flashback) Lyra
    Days gone by will not come back!
[07:16] Eddie/I
    I don't want to know anything.
[07:18] Eddie/I
    The world is full of stuff
    you don't need to know.
[07:21] Peck
    You were useless as a cyber terrorist.
[07:25] Peck
    I guess you're useless as a helper, too.
[07:29] Brian
    That's too bad.
[07:31] Brian
    Lyra's still in love with you, too...
[07:34] Eddie/I
    What?!
[07:35] Brian
    Why would she keep a backup
    of your data otherwise, right?
[07:39] Eddie/I
    I g-guess you're right...
[07:42] Peck
    I bet she kept him because
    he'd come in handy—
[07:46] Brian
    Lyra must be waiting for your "log" to be "in."
[07:50] Brian
    To get you going on that,
    why don't you help us out?
[07:55] Eddie/I
    I-If you insist.
[07:57] Eddie/I
    Just this one time.
[08:00] Eddie/I
    Unfortunately, there's been no information
    on Zeno Stokes since three days ago.
[08:05] Eddie/I
    He's probably being careful
    not to leave any digital log.
[08:09] Peck
    What?!
[08:10] Peck
    For all the airs you put on, you're useless!
[08:12] Peck
    You softy log bastard!
[08:14] Brian
    Then can you tell me
    where Rubber is imprisoned?
[08:24] Cyrus/I
    Hey, look at this.
[08:26] Lyra
    Is that the Borderlander drug?
[08:29] Cyrus/I
    It's the investigation report on Confu.
[08:32] Cyrus/I
    But the numbers are different
    from the data managed by the UN.
[08:36] Cyrus
    In the UN's document, it's classified in
    Schedule I, the most dangerous category.
[08:42] Cyrus
    But according to Zeno's report,
    it's Schedule IV at best.
[08:46] Lyra
    What does that mean?
[08:49] Cyrus
    The hazard level of the drug
    has been overestimated.
[08:53] Cyrus
    Of course, if it's ingested in a
    large amount, it will affect you.
[08:57] Cyrus
    But Brian and the others didn't
    suffer much damage back then.
[09:02] Lyra/I
    Meaning the UN is trying
    to set Borderlanders up
[09:05] Lyra/I
    as heinous villains instead
    of regular bad guys?
[09:09] Cyrus
    I don't know. But...
[09:12] Lyra
    It's worth looking into.
[09:23] Brian
    I'm Theodore Tompson
    from the Marginal Service.
[09:27] Brian
    I'm interrogating Rubber on the order
    of the higher-ups from the UN.
[09:31] Masked Soldier A
    Is he...
[09:32] Masked Soldier B
    ...an idiot?
[09:37] Peck
    The mask looks good on you,
    just as I expected.
[09:40] Brian
    Oh, shut up.
[09:41] Brian
    Let's go.
[09:47] Eddie/I
    There's a hidden door in the study.
[09:56] Theodore
    Welcom—
[10:04] Robin
    Who the hell are they?
[10:05] Theodore
    They're apparently from the UN.
[10:08] Theodore
    Don't seem to be here for
    our new product, though.
[10:12] Agata
    There was unauthorized access to the data
    regarding where Rubber is imprisoned.
[10:17] Agata
    It was accessed through Eddie Snow, the AI
    involved in the Marginal Service's case.
[10:22] Robin
    Eddie?
[10:24] Lyra
    You've got to be kidding!
[10:30] Lyra
    Must've been Peck...
[10:31] Agata
    You were ordered not to get
    involved in Rubber Suit's case.
[10:36] Agata
    Considering the situation,
    it must be Brian Nightraider's doing.
[10:41] Agata
    All of you will have to face
    the appropriate consequences.
[10:45] Bolts
    Which means...
[10:47] Robin
    No bonus?
[10:49] Robin
    We don't get those to begin with.
[10:51] Agata
    I'm ordering you to either
    arrest or kill Brian Nightraider.
[10:55] Robin
    Huh?
[10:56] Bolts
    Kill our own? Not in your wildest dreams!
[11:05] Agata
    You have no right to refuse.
[11:07] Lyra
    Why us?
[11:09] Cyrus
    Aren't we supposed to be the
    anti-terrorist team for Borderlanders?
[11:13] Agata
    This is a special circumstance.
[11:15] Agata
    We're showing leniency by
    letting you take care of him.
[11:19] Agata
    We owe him as much.
[11:22] Lyra
    Owe him?
[11:26] Cyrus
    Isn't he...
[11:30] Agata
    Once again, I'm Ryo Agata,
    the UN undersecretary.
[11:40] Brian
    Was that all of them?
[11:42] Peck
    Looks like it.
[11:43] Peck
    Luckily, there weren't too many
    guards since this is a hideout.
[11:50] Brian
    Time for an emotional reunion.
[12:03] Rubber
    Well, if it isn't Brian.
[12:05] Peck
    Wow. As expected from a star.
[12:08] Brian
    He may be a star, but he needs the suit.
[12:11] Brian
    Both his scent and the visual
     are problematic otherwise.
[12:18] Rubber
    Sorry to bother you,
    but may I borrow a guitar?
[12:21] Rubber
    Mine was confiscated.
[12:23] Brian
    Give it up. We don't have time.
[12:25] Rubber
    That's too bad.
[12:26] Brian
    I thought I'd sing you
    a love song as we went.
[12:30] Brian
    I'm not expecting a show.
[12:32] Brian
    What I want to know is...
[12:34] Rubber
    About your buddy?
[12:35] Brian
    As expected of a Borderlander.
[12:38] Rubber
    I have good intuition.
[12:40] Rubber
    For example, we'll be surrounded soon.
[12:42] Brian
    Huh?!
[12:43] Brian
    Hey! You guys....
[12:56] Bolts
    Brian, are you serious?
[12:58] Robin
    He's a Borderlander.
[13:00] Robin
    Above all, he's the leader of a terrorist group.
[13:04] Peck
    I-I just want you to know
    that it's not my fault!
[13:07] Peck
    I only egged him on—
[13:08] Lyra
    You shut up.
[13:10] Peck
    O-Okay.
[13:11] Robin
    Shibujuku's terrorist bombing,
    a gunfight at Jukai,
[13:15] Robin
    and the shark attack in the southern island...
[13:18] Robin
    You know all of them were his doing, right?
[13:20] Brian
    I know... but he's my only hope right now!
[13:25] Cyrus
    We don't know for sure
    that he knows where Zeno is.
[13:28] Brian
    I hear you.
[13:29] Brian
    But he must know where Isabella is,
    and she's supposed to be with Zeno.
[13:33] Rubber
    You may be right.
[13:34] Lyra
    We obviously can't trust him.
[13:37] Brian
    Maybe not, but we have to!
[13:39] Brian
    Borderlander or not.
[13:42] Robin
    I knew he was an idiot,
    but not this much of one.
[13:45] Bolts
    Brian, why would you go that far?
[13:48] Bolts
    You're throwing everything
    away because of Zeno.
[13:51] Brian
    From the moment I met him,
    he was really nasty,
[13:56] Brian
    and there were countless
    times I wanted to kill him.
[14:00] Brian
    Honestly, if he's dead somewhere
    in a ditch, I couldn't care less.
[14:05] Brian
    But...
[14:09] Brian
    He's still my buddy.
[14:12] Brian
    I want to see him smile, just once.
[14:16] Brian
    I'm...
[14:18] Brian
    I'm the only one who can stop him.
[14:26] Robin
    I guess there's no talking him out of it.
[14:28] Robin
    We don't want to do this either,
[14:30] Robin
    but we're also the only
    ones who can stop Brian!
[14:38] Rubber
    What a wonderful beat.
[14:40] Brian
    Don't they know how to hold back a little?
[14:42] Peck
    Ouch...
[14:43] Peck
    They got my tail.
[14:46] Bolts
    First, aim for Rubber!
[14:48] Cyrus
    Don't do it.
[14:49] Cyrus
    If his suit rips, the gas he emits
     will cause a disaster.
[14:52] Brian
    Damn it!
[14:53] Brian
    They have so much more firepower than we do!
[14:55] Rubber
    You want me to save your skin?
[14:57] Brian
    No, thanks!
[14:59] Brian
    I don't want to be traumatized to death.
[15:01] Cyrus
    You can aim at his legs.
[15:04] Robin
    Brian will be okay even if
    it hits him in the stomach.
[15:06] Brian
    Cut the crap!
[15:08] Brian
    Don't be ridiculous!
[15:11] Theodore
    Is it the decision of the
    United Nation as a whole?
[15:14] Agata
    I was given carte blanche on this case.
[15:22] Brian
    Hey! Can't you do something?!
[15:25] Rubber
    Oh, I think there might be a car
    that delivered vegetables in the back.
[15:29] Brian
    Why didn't you tell me sooner?!
[15:34] Peck
    Get in!
[15:35] Brian
    This is so lame.
[15:37] Brian
    You gotta drive an Aston
    Martin at a time like this!
[15:40] Rubber
    I'm afraid I'm not a famous spy.
[15:43] Robin
    It's bulletproof?!
[15:44] Robin
    Why does this truck have VIP specs?!
[15:48] Robin
    Damn it!
[15:49] Bolts
    Robin!
[15:52] Robin
    Marginal explosion!
[16:04] Robin
    Did I get them?
[16:09] Robin
    Oh, damn it!
[16:14] Agata
    You failed the mission.
[16:16] Agata
    We will take over the pursuit of
    Brian Nightraider and Rubber Suit.
[16:21] Agata
    Please wait for further notice until we
    decide what to do with the Marginal Service.
[16:25] Robin
    Was this really the right thing to do?
[16:27] Bolts
    We covertly let them escape, but...
[16:30] Lyra
    We're in complete rebellion against the UN.
[16:32] Cyrus
    Is that a problem?
[16:34] Cyrus
    Working for scum isn't good
     for one's mental health.
[16:40] (Flashback) Robin
    Does that mean Borderlanders
    weren't at fault?
[16:43] (Flashback) Lyra
    I wouldn't go that far.
[16:45] (Flashback) Lyra
    It's still a fact that Rubber's people distributed
    drugs and performed terrorist acts.
[16:50] (Flashback) Lyra
    But the damage they caused has
    been exaggerated on the record.
[16:54] (Flashback) Cyrus
    For example, it says the bombing at
    the Immigration office killed 13 people,
[16:59] (Flashback) Cyrus
    but no one was actually hurt.
[17:01] (Flashback) Lyra
    The victims reported on
    the record do not exist.
[17:05] (Flashback) Lyra
    Their names and addresses are all bogus.
[17:07] (Flashback) Robin
    Why would they do that?
[17:09] (Flashback) Bolts
    To tighten the control on Borderlanders?
[17:13] (Flashback) Cyrus
    Most likely.
[17:14] (Flashback) Cyrus
    There's a possibility
[17:16] (Flashback) Cyrus
    that the UN set them as rank villains
     in order to get rid of them.
[17:20] (Flashback) Cyrus
    Their existence is inconvenient for them.
[17:24] (Flashback) Lyra
    Perhaps the very presence of the
    Marginal Service symbolizes that.
[17:32] Theodore
    You two are correct.
[17:34] Theodore
    Scum must pay for what they've done.
[17:41] Rubber
    Okay, I perfectly understand the situation.
[17:44] Rubber
    My heart aches for the passion
    you have for your buddy.
[17:48] Brian
    Cut it out.
[17:50] Brian
    There's only one thing I want to ask.
[17:52] Brian
    It's about the case from ten years ago.
[17:54] Brian
    You and Isabella know something about it.
[17:58] Brian
    Correct.
[18:02] Rubber
    The key to everything lies in the sky.
[18:07] Rubber
    It's Gray Shock.
[18:15] Brian
    Isn't that...
[18:16] Rubber
    You must know what it is.
[18:18] Rubber
    The UFO crash that happened ten years ago.
[18:22] Rubber
    Back then, the UN drove off the evil
    aliens with the help of Borderlanders.
[18:27] Rubber
    At that time, they secretly
    collected the UFO they came in.
[18:32] Brian
    Wha... The UN did?!
[18:34] Peck
    Are you kidding me?
[18:36] Rubber
    The UFO contained technology
    that far surpassed yours.
[18:40] Rubber
    The UN was trying to find military uses for it.
[18:44] Rubber
    They called the attempt
     "alien reverse engineering."
[18:47] Brian
    And what does that have to do with
    the kidnapping of Zeno's son ten years ago?
[18:54] Rubber
    Although the UN collected the UFO,
    they couldn't get it to activate.
[19:00] Rubber
    It's a vehicle for aliens,
    so I guess that's no surprise.
[19:03] Rubber
    So they looked for humans
    who could operate it.
[19:06] Brian
    You don't mean...
[19:08] Rubber
    The children who were
    kidnapped ten years ago.
[19:12] Rubber
    The UN hypothesized that the UFO
    required something akin to psychic power.
[19:18] Rubber
    Just like Project MK-Ultra
    or the Stargate Project.
[19:22] Rubber
    Those who exhibited such powers
[19:25] Rubber
    were the five-year-old children
    who witnessed the crashing UFO.
[19:30] Rubber
    They were called the "Alien Gifted."
[19:32] Rubber
    They responded to the UFO,
    and could activate it.
[19:37] Rubber
    That's why they were kidnapped.
[19:39] Brian
    So the symbol Zeno was so hung up on...
[19:43] Rubber
    Right. That isn't a symbol of anything.
[19:47] Rubber
    It's the UFO itself.
[19:50] Rubber
    The kidnappers didn't leave it on the scene.
[19:53] Rubber
    The children drew it themselves.
[19:55] Brian
    Zeno realized that on his own?
[20:00] Rubber
    We Borderlanders learned
    the truth only this past year.
[20:04] Rubber
    We couldn't sit idly by knowing the lives of
    precious little ones were being taken away.
[20:09] Brian
    Wait, so the reason why you
    Borderlanders start terrorist attacks...
[20:13] Rubber
    Our existence is not
    acknowledged in this society.
[20:17] Rubber
    So we can't officially raise our voices.
[20:20] Rubber
    That's why we shook up the UN
    to get them to investigate.
[20:24] Brian
    What?! Give me a break!
[20:26] Brian
    That doesn't make it okay
    to do something like that!
[20:28] Rubber
    Of course, we will pay for our crimes.
[20:31] Rubber
    But I have something I need to do before that.
[20:35] Rubber
    Just like your buddy does.
[20:40] Brian
    Where did Zeno go?
[20:42] Rubber
    I've investigated this with Isabella,
[20:45] Rubber
    but I don't know where
    the UFO research facility is.
[20:49] Rubber
    But with the help of your excellent buddy,
     maybe they've already arrived there.
[20:56] Rubber
    At Mt. Minakami.
[21:02] Rubber
    The children who were taken,
    the Alien Gifted,
[21:06] Rubber
    are still locked up in this
    mountain as research subjects.
[21:10] Rubber
    Mt. Minakami is also known
    as a "Japanese pyramid."
[21:14] Rubber
    It's a power spot
[21:15] Rubber
    so strong that the Imperial Army tried to
    create a massive underground base here.
[21:19] Rubber
    The UN is taking advantage of that.
[21:23] Brian
    That's way too occult for me.
[21:24] Brian
    What?! What's going on?!
[21:26] Rubber
    This is a low-gravity zone.
[21:28] Rubber
    It means we're getting
    closer to the central area.
[21:34] Rubber
    I myself have never been this far before.
[21:38] Rubber
    Now, let us go together.
[22:03] Brian
    Are you kidding me?
[22:11] Rubber
    What a view.
[22:14] Rubber
    But I don't find it beautiful.
[22:29] Brian
    Anyway, let's rescue the kids—
[22:38] Brian
    Zeno.
