[00:01] Brian/I
    I don't have good memories of Christmas.
[00:05] Brian/I
    Because that's the day my father, who was
    a traveling entertainer, disappeared.
SIGN    Merry Xmas
    I've been appointed the new Santa Claus,
     so I'm leaving
[00:14] Brian/I
    The darts I got as a present
[00:17] Brian/I
    became symbols of how merciless love can be.
[00:24] Brian/I
    Ever since then, I hate to
    even see Santa Claus's face.
[00:29] Brian/I
    That said, if it's a sexy Santa,
    that's a whole other story.

    Huh? Why did the ringtone change?
[02:21] Brian
    Wait!
[02:23] Brian
    No way... Not another bomb?!
[02:35] Brian
    What the hell is this?!
[02:37] Robin
    This is... pretty amazing.
[02:40] Cyrus
    It gave me heartburn first
     thing in the morning.
[02:42] Bolts
    It's the best Christmas present.
[02:45] Brian
    There's no good reason why
    I should be harassed by a Santa!
[02:47] Lyra
    Then who sent this to you?
[02:49] Brian
    Who knows? Must be from a throwaway account.
[02:52] Robin
    Speaking of which, I got...
[02:55] Cyrus
    And I received...
[02:57] Brian
    What?! I don't remember being
    chased around by paparazzi!
[03:01] Robin
    This one also has a random sender name.
[03:03] Cyrus
    Is someone harassing the Marginal Service?
[03:07] Cyrus
    Someone sent us a bomb last time.
[03:09] Peck
    A bomb?! Where?! Not again!
[03:12] Lyra
    These photos must be from a webcam
    or a surveillance camera, right?
[03:18] Theodore
    We got something over here, as well.

[03:21] Theodore
    "Yippee-ki-yay"? Oh, this is
    from the film Die Hard.
[03:25] Lyra
    Wait! Don't open it!
[03:29] Brian
    Th-This is...
[03:31] Peck
    Are you serious?!
[03:32] Peck
    That fricking cat!
[03:33] Peck
    That's revenge porn!
[03:36] Lyra
    I don't care who you're flirting with.
[03:38] Lyra
    But at this rate, the Marginal Service
    will have to be dissolved.
SIGN    Sending Data
[03:42] Cyrus
    "Sending Data"? Don't tell me..
[03:43] Lyra
    Yes, that was a sort of stepping stone.
[03:46] Robin
    After the bomb attack, it's a cyber-attack?
[03:49] Brian
    Just how deep is their grudge against us?
[03:51] Bolts
    This could be another
    one of Rubber's schemes.
[03:54] Cyrus
    If data about the Marginal Service
    and Borderlanders gets leaked...
[03:57] Theodore
    It will cause a huge panic.
[04:00] Theodore
    We must stop—
[04:01] Lyra
    I'm working on it, okay?
[04:04] Zeno
    Move!
[04:10] Zeno
    Now we've stopped it.
[04:12] Lyra
    I could have blocked it in three seconds,
[04:14] Lyra
    but because a chair came flying by...
[04:18] Lyra
    The defense system is completely down,
    and now we can't stop the data leak.
[04:22] Announcement
    Emergency security activated.
[04:24] Announcement
    Shutting down the entire system.
[04:31] Theodore
    The line here is linked with
    the Borderlander holding facility.
[04:35] Theodore
    If it's shut down...
[04:42] Zeno
    Everyone, head out to the field.
[04:47] Bolts
    This is...
[04:48] Robin
    Obviously over capacity!
[04:50] Zeno
    It's because you're too big. Get over it.
[04:54] Brian
    Hey, you're going too fast!
[04:56] Lyra
    There's a possibility that other major
    facilities, not just us, will get attacked.
[05:01] Lyra
    We can't let him do whatever he wants.
[05:04] Brian
    Him? You mean Rubber?
[05:18] Lyra
    The machine at this place
    is the best in Shibujuku.
[05:20] Brian
    And what drinks? Is there an open bar?
[05:23] Lyra
    For now, just lend me your phone.
[05:26] Brian
    My phone? Why?
[05:28] Lyra
    Just give it to me!
[05:30] Brian
    Jeez, what the heck...
[05:33] Lyra
    Back-tracing the photo of Bolts...
[05:36] Lyra
    The sender is encrypted, and it
    goes through several terminals.
[05:41] Cyrus
    It's outstanding work.
[05:49] Brian
    Hey, what about my privacy?!
[05:52] Lyra
    We can narrow down the
    possible senders to these.
[05:55] Guard
    D-Don't move!
[05:58] Bennett
    I only scratched my butt.
[06:00] Sakaki
    Of course, now that the electronic
    lock is down, we can easily get out.
[06:05] Guard
    T-Try anything funny, and...
[06:08] Bennett
    You'll kill us with that?
[06:10] Bennett
    But we're Borderlanders who are hard to kill.
[06:14] Zeno
    We may not kill you, but it'll slow you down.
[06:17] Robin
    Stay quiet until the system is restored.
[06:20] Bolts
    Like a bronze statue of Hercules.
[06:30] Lyra
    I'm not used to these heels.
[06:33] Brian
    How does she move like that
    with such a tiny body?
[06:37] Brian
    She's tough.
[06:38] Cyrus
    Judging someone based on
    their physical characteristics?
[06:42] Cyrus
    You're rather old-fashioned.
[06:45] Brian
    I mean, if she has that much skill,
[06:47] Brian
    wouldn't she be better off
    working for YBM or something?
[06:51] Brian
    Who is Lyra, anyway?
[06:53] Cyrus
    They say she was a Russian sparrow.
[06:55] Brian
    For real?!
[06:56] Cyrus
    Or a professor at MIT.
[06:58] Brian
    Professor?!
[07:00] Cyrus
    Some even say she's French royalty.
[07:02] Brian
    Which is it?!
[07:03] Cryus
    Your guess is as good as mine.
[07:05] Cryus
    Isn't that the same for all of us
    at the Marginal Service?
[07:08] Brian
    Yeah...
[07:09] Brian
    I guess so.
[07:13] Brian
    Is this the right place?
[07:16] Cyrus
    Isn't it just a deserted church?
[07:18] Lyra
    Look.
[07:21] Cyrus
    A surveillance camera and an automatic gun.
[07:25] Brian
    Doesn't seem like a simple
    place to pray to God.
[07:28] Lyra
    Since I'm a goddess, I get a free pass.
[07:36] Brian
    Whoa, what the hell?!
[07:38] Cyrus
    Is that chaff?
[07:39] Lyra
    Yup! Electronic countermeasures are
    something every lady needs to know.
[07:43] Brian
    It even smells nice.
[07:53] Technician A
    Hold on!
[07:54] Technician A
    We're with the Security Agency!
[07:56] Brian
    Huh?
[07:57] Lyra
    It's a top-secret SIGINT agency that
    intercepts all the world's information.
[08:02] Cyrus
    Who would've believed it actually existed?
[08:04] Technician A
    It's nothing to be surprised about.
[08:07] Technician A
    We're the ones who send the Marginal
    Service their intel on Borderlanders.
[08:12] Lyra
    Kind of like ECHELON, whose existence
    is not officially acknowledged.
[08:17] Brian
    ECHELON?
[08:18] Cyrus
    It's an American intercept facility that
    became a hot topic a couple of decades ago.
[08:23] Cyrus
    In the end, it was written off as
    something of an urban legend.
[08:26] Brian
    Disguising these things as conspiracies
    seems to be pretty common.
[08:30] Lyra
    More importantly, our system was hacked.
[08:34] Lyra
    The email that triggered it
    was sent from here.
[08:39] Technician A
    Actually, a part of our system was hacked.
[08:43] Technician A
    The damage was minimal,
    and we blocked the hacker,
[08:45] Technician A
    but we haven't been able to
    identify who sent the virus.
[08:50] Lyra
    Shit!
[08:54] Brian
    Wh-What's happening?!
[08:56] Lyra
    It's being controlled remotely!
[09:04] Brian
    Remote control?
[09:06] Brian
    Does that mean the creep shots
     of Bolts and me were...
[09:09] Lyra
    They must have hacked the street
    surveillance cameras and home webcams.
[09:13] Brian
    Th-That's way too high tech!
[09:15] Lyra
    It's the dark side of living in an IT society.
[09:18] Lyra
    We have to catch him as soon as we can.
[09:21] Brian
    So you do know who's responsible?
[09:24] Lyra
    The only hacker who could crack
    this system is Eddie Snow.
[09:29] Brian
    Eddie? Who's that?
[09:32] Lyra
    My ex-boyfriend.
[09:36] Theodore
    Eddie Snow...
[09:37] Theodore
    ID number FJ3659339G. A Borderlander.
[09:43] Theodore
    He seems to have been in Russia as a
    white-hat hacker until three years ago.
[09:48] Peck
    A white-hat hacker? More like a mothercker.
[09:51] Peck**
    I can't believe my Lyra
    was dating a Borderlander.
[09:55] Theodore
    Currently, there is no law that prohibits
    romance between humans and Borderlanders.
[10:00] Theodore
    You're a Borderlander yourself.
[10:02] Peck
    That's why I'm jealous!
[10:08] Lyra
    With Eddie, I worked on a security
    system associated with the KGB.
[10:13] Lyra
    It didn't take long for us
    to end up in a relationship.
[10:17] Brian
    Why did you break up? Did he cheat on you?
[10:19] Lyra
    He got... sick.
[10:23] Lyra
    With an incurable disease that caused
    his body to gradually become immobile.
[10:26] Lyra
    I tried to support him, but...
[10:29] Lyra
    He disappeared on me.
SIGN    BRUNO WILLS
[10:34] Lyra
    Now that I think about it, maybe he
    wanted to hide that he was a Borderlander.
[10:41] Cyrus
    Then you didn't know that
    he wasn't human until...
[10:43] Lyra
    Until Theodore told us just now.
[10:47] Lyra
    I mean, I knew something was off.
[10:49] Lyra
    I was going to marry him if we had a child,
    but there was no sign of that happening.
[10:54] Cyrus
    It's difficult for humans
    and Borderlands to crossbreed.
[10:58] Cyrus
    Which is only natural since
    we have different genes.
[11:00] Lyra
    He was no different from
    a human guy in bed, though.
[11:04] Brian
    I don't need the details, thank y—
[11:08] Cyrus
    Hey, safety first!
[11:10] Brian
    Don't yell at me! They careened into us!
[11:13] Driver
    Oh, yeah, I got us a table at a three-star
    restaurant, so look forward to it.
[11:18] Navigation
    The reservation has been canceled.
[11:19] Driver
    Whoa!
[11:21] Lyra
    God, this sucks. I hit my chin.
[11:24] Brian
    Oh, damn it!
[11:25] Brian
    They're all bunch of idiots!
[11:26] Lyra
    Look out!
[11:28] Brian
    Are you kidding me?!
    What happened to yellow?!
[11:31] Cyrus
    Another one's coming!
[11:32] Brian
    Hold on, is this...
[11:35] Cyrus
    The cars and the traffic lights are rigged?
[11:38] Lyra
    Looks like the electronic devices
    nearby are being controlled.
[11:41] Brian
    Which means...
SIGN    YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS
[11:45] Brian
    Hey! Do something!
[11:47] Cyrus
    W-Well, there's no real harm done.
[11:51] Brian
    Damn it! Shut up!
[11:53] Siri/I
    You shut up, dumbass.
[11:55] Brian
    What?! Who are you calling a dumbass?!
[11:58] Cyrus
    No need to be angry at the machine.
[12:01] Lyra
    Just take us to the destination.
[12:03] Lyra
    Distracted driving is against the law.
[12:05] Brian
    Our navigation's all over the place, too!
[12:07] Siri
    Your face is all over the place.
[12:09] Brian
    Oh, shut up! Or I'll smash you!
[12:11] Siri
    Oh...
[12:13] Brian
    What?!
[12:14] Brian
    I just upgraded it...
[12:16] Cyrus
    Maybe take this opportunity
    for a digital detox?
[12:18] Brian
    Easy for you to say!
[12:20] Lyra
    Either way, it looks like we won't need
    to depend on machines from here.
[12:27] Bennett
    Let's put an end to this staring contest.
[12:29] Robin
    Just a little more until
    the system's restored.
[12:32] Sakaki
    If the power is out, why don't you
    bring out a cake with some candles?
[12:36] Sakaki
    Borderlanders have the right
    to enjoy Christmas.
[12:40] Bolts
    But Santa only comes to good boys and girls.
[12:45] Guard
    It's for you.
[12:46] Guard
    I didn't know anyone still sent telegrams.
[12:51] Zeno
    You and I need to talk.
[12:53] Zeno
    Depending on your answer,
    you might get a cheap cake.
[12:59] Cyrus
    Isn't this the biggest internet
    base station in Shibujuku?
[13:04] Brian
    How sure are you that this Eddie guy is here?
[13:06] Lyra
    The church had a very strong security system.
[13:10] Lyra
    There are limited ways to breach it.
[13:14] Fire Fighter A
    No entry past this point.
[13:16] Fire Fighter B
    There was an alert about a poisonous gas leak.
[13:19] Brian
    That alert was falsified.
[13:22] Brian
    We're special agents.
    Please get out of our way.
[13:25] Fire Fighter A
    The Marginal Service?
[13:28] Brian
    Ask the United Nation for the details.
[13:34] Brian
    Damn it!
[13:35] Brian
    It opened just a minute ago!
[13:38] Lyra
    I guess we're still being watched.
[13:43] Lyra/I
    I know it's you, Eddie.
[13:45] Eddie
    Hmph.
[13:47] Lyra
    Open up. I just want to talk a bit.
[13:51] Eddie/I
    I can't trust you.
[13:53] Eddie/I
    I haven't seen you in ten years.
[13:57] Lyra
    I promise we're only here to talk.
[13:59] Lyra
    I'll have my reindeer wait here.
[14:01] Brian
    Who are you calling a reindeer?
    My nose isn't red!
[14:05] Eddie
    Where's the proof that
    you aren't here to harm me?
[14:18] Cyrus
    Now your nose is red.
[14:20] Brian
    Sh-Shut up!
[14:21] Lyra/I
    I'm unarmed.
[14:23] Lyra/I
    Unless you consider nudity to
    be a woman's weapon, of course.
[14:30] Eddie/I
    Just you.
[14:43] Lyra
    It's been a while.
[14:44] Lyra
    Did you lose weight?
[14:46] Eddie
    I don't know.
[14:47] Eddie
    You're even more beautiful than I remember.
[14:50] Lyra
    Most men compliment me
    when I look like this.
[14:54] Eddie
    I don't lie.
[14:56] Eddie
    In this day and age, not even your heart
    or thoughts are safe from prying eyes.
[14:59] Lyra
    And you took control of the internet
    around here to blow the whistle on society?
[15:05] Eddie
    Yes. I woke up to social justice.
[15:10] Eddie
    We once believed that a highly developed
    network could open a new door of knowledge.
[15:17] Eddie
    It was the birth of AI,
    artificial intelligence.
[15:20] Eddie
    But it turns out the government only used it
    to tighten up monitoring and management.
[15:25] Eddie
    Anything foreign is either removed
    or pushed into the margins of society.
[15:29] Eddie
    Privacy and individual freedom are
    non-existent, especially for Borderlanders.
[15:34] Eddie
    We've made no progress from Orwell's 1984.
[15:37] Lyra
    The 80s were a good time.
[15:40] Lyra
    The action films in particular
     were the best, right?
[15:42] Eddie
    Films aside, I can't accept a society like this.
[15:46] Eddie
    The Japanese government must experience
    the discomfort of being watched.
[15:51] Lyra
    If you don't like being watched, why
    don't you try to live more openly, like me?
[15:56] Eddie
    You haven't changed at all.
[15:59] Eddie
    So beautiful and intelligent...
[16:04] Lyra
    You're pointing a gun at
    someone who's unarmed?
[16:07] Eddie
    You're hiding a gun on your back, aren't you?
[16:10] Lyra
    Wow... So you noticed.
[16:13] Eddie
    You stripped to distract me from it.
[16:16] Eddie
    Like in the last scene of the
    action movie we used to love.
[16:21] Eddie
    I wish we could watch it together again.
[16:26] Lyra
    That's too bad.
[16:28] Lyra
    I would never—
[16:32] Sakaki
    So fragile.
[16:33] Sakaki
    This is why we can't rely on machines.
[16:36] Eddie
    You are...
[16:38] Lyra
    A Borderlander in custody.
[16:40] Lyra
    His special characteristic is
    the ability to become invisible.
[16:42] Sakaki
    No offense, but they told me they'd
    reduce my sentence if I cooperated.
[16:46] Lyra
    No matter how the network develops,
    there are still things you can't see.
[16:56] Eddie
    What a shame. I wish the two of us
     could talk more about old times.
[17:02] Lyra
    What is this?
[17:03] Lyra
    Are you the same type of Borderlander?!
[17:05] Sakaki
    No, this is...
[17:08] Lyra
    A hologram?
[17:10] Eddie
    My actual body is long gone.
[17:13] Eddie
    Because of the disease,
    I couldn't maintain my physical body!
[17:16] Sakaki
    Wha—
[17:22] Eddie
    Borderlanders are difficult to kill,
    so it's not a problem, right?
[17:25] Eddie
    Although we can't beat sickness and death.
[17:27] Lyra
    So you're a computer ghost?
[17:29] Lyra
    Looks like catching you is impossible.
[17:31] Eddie
    As you know, a massive amount of
    information collected from the network
[17:36] Eddie
    becomes the basis of AI as big data.
[17:39] Eddie
    This body is but a phantom made from
    my memories and intercepted data,
[17:44] Eddie
    but it's the product of my
    unwavering will and knowledge.
[17:48] Eddie
    That's why it can influence the world.
[17:52] Lyra
    Don't tell me...
[17:54] Eddie
    Yes. It's set up so that a
    malicious virus will spread
[17:59] Eddie
    as soon as my mind
    accesses the network system.
[18:03] Eddie
    Connected devices will be
    completely destroyed,
[18:07] Eddie
    along with everything from the
    Borderlander management system
[18:09] Eddie
    to most major infrastructure.
[18:12] Eddie
    The world itself will collapse.
[18:17] Lyra
    And how do we stop that?
[18:22] Eddie
    Tell me... that you love me again.
[18:27] Eddie
    If I can have that, I will disappear
    with a beautiful memory in my heart.
[18:32] Lyra
    Memory...
[18:51] Lyra
    I can still remember the three years
    I spent with you so clearly.
[18:57] Eddie
    Lyra...
[18:59] Lyra
    But...
[19:00] Lyra
    the past...
[19:04] Lyra
    is the past!
[19:08] Lyra
    Days gone by...
[19:10] Eddie
    W-Wait, hear me o—
[19:12] Lyra
    ...will not come back!
[19:14] Eddie
    Don't do it!
[19:18] Lyra
    I'm not interested in tales of the past.
    I live in the present.
[19:24] Eddie
    You really haven't changed at all.
[19:34] Brian
    Lyra!
[19:35] Brian
    Wh-What's going on?
[19:38] Cyrus
    You didn't hold back at all, did you?
[19:41] Sakaki
    J-Just send me back to prison.
[19:44] Sakaki
    That woman is crazy...
[19:46] Lyra
    Oh, I only showed him
    how transient love can be.
[19:51] Brian
    Man, Christmas is scary.
[19:54] Lyra
    Marginal explosion.

[20:05] Theodore
    Anyhow, I'm glad it didn't
    escalate to something worse.
[20:09] Brian
    But what was Eddie trying to do?
[20:12] Brian
    If he didn't want an Orwellian society,
    why didn't he just destroy it?
[20:16] Peck
    He obviously wanted to get my
    Lyra's attention, you dummy!
[20:20] Brian
    What?! That's all?!
[20:22] Lyra
    More or less, I guess.
[20:24] Cyrus
    All he did was harass Brian,
    now that we think about it.
[20:28] Robin
    You're telling me the guy
    was jealous of him?!
[20:30] Bolts
    But why Brian?
[20:32] Brian
    That's because I'm good-looki—
[20:34] Zeno
    No.
[20:35] Zeno
    I looked into all the communication
    channels he was involved in.
[20:39] Brian
    Is this Rubber's?
[20:41] Zeno
    He misunderstood your relationship with Lyra
[20:44] Zeno
    because he was in the AI security
    system at Rubber's mansion.
[20:49] Brian
    Hold on, that means...
[20:51] Zeno
    Yeah. Eddie Snow was connected to Rubber.
[20:55] Zeno
    And he left a clue.
[20:58] Zeno
    Rubber ran away to...
SIGN    Higashino Island
[21:01] Zeno
    this island.
[21:15] Rubber
    I'm so ready for them to find me.
