**[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.*
***SIGN*** Sexy Santa Lights the Holy Light
**[00:34] Brian/I**
*Her existence itself is the gift.*
***SIGN*** Call
***SIGN*** Unknown
**[02:16] Brian**
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.

Notice of Regular Emergency Drill
James Rosenberg, President of the Committee of 300
Re: Request for Design Revision for Dope Store Manager mask
**[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 mother**cker.
**[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.

Expert Analysis
**[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**
