1
00:00:44,628 --> 00:00:46,714
I'm amazed we got permission to exhume the body.
2
00:00:46,756 --> 00:00:50,760
It's backward. They disregarded
our investigation by burying him to begin with.
3
00:00:50,843 --> 00:00:55,389
Yes, sir. Still, a military cemetery...
4
00:00:55,431 --> 00:00:59,769
It's ridiculously expensive to dispose of
a prosthetic body that can't be reused.
5
00:00:59,852 --> 00:01:03,230
Thanks to their cost-cutting,
we can recover the cyberbrain.
6
00:01:03,272 --> 00:01:04,774
Where are the engineers?
7
00:01:06,233 --> 00:01:08,194
Drawing straws at HQ.
8
00:01:08,235 --> 00:01:12,073
Apparently connecting to a dead criminal's
cyberbrain is "creepy".
9
00:01:12,114 --> 00:01:14,617
We don't know yet that he's a criminal.
10
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:16,243
Chief Aramaki!
11
00:01:16,285 --> 00:01:18,788
We'll check the contents,
then take it back to headquarters.
12
00:01:25,044 --> 00:01:27,379
What are you waiting for?
Put it down!
13
00:01:28,923 --> 00:01:30,424
Sorry, sir!
14
00:01:31,801 --> 00:01:33,969
Don't open that coffin!
15
00:03:23,662 --> 00:03:25,748
This is from your unit.
16
00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:12,962
Are you military?
17
00:04:16,632 --> 00:04:19,385
I'm Aramaki, with Public Security Section 9.
18
00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:23,264
We're investigating
Lieutenant Colonel Mamuro's murder.
19
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:25,808
I'm seizing his cyberbrain
and prosthetic body as evidence.
20
00:04:25,849 --> 00:04:30,479
He's also suspected of taking bribes,
and we're investigating that too.
21
00:04:30,562 --> 00:04:32,940
Public Security has no right to ransack this place.
22
00:04:32,982 --> 00:04:35,317
We'll bury him again when the case is closed.
23
00:04:35,401 --> 00:04:38,779
And how do I know you won't pull a cover-up,
or fabricate evidence?
24
00:04:38,821 --> 00:04:43,075
The military is in the middle of
its first major shakeup since the war.
25
00:04:43,117 --> 00:04:47,830
It would be more suspicious
if this only got an internal investigation.
26
00:04:47,871 --> 00:04:51,417
If he were still with us,
Mamuro would have been the first to say so.
27
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:53,085
You knew him?
28
00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:55,671
Yes, back when I was an Army man.
29
00:04:55,713 --> 00:04:59,591
There's not a soldier in the world
more squeaky-clean than he was.
30
00:05:04,263 --> 00:05:06,473
Your name and unit?
31
00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:12,187
Major Motoko Kusanagi, Unit 501.
32
00:05:13,731 --> 00:05:17,776
501? So you were his subordinate.
33
00:05:19,862 --> 00:05:21,697
Open it up.
34
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:24,116
Can I ask your rank?
35
00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:26,702
I was in the old Investigations Section.
That's all.
36
00:05:26,785 --> 00:05:31,540
They sold off whatever wouldn't fit
in the coffin to a junk shop.
37
00:05:42,926 --> 00:05:44,887
That's not his body!
38
00:06:08,744 --> 00:06:10,245
Get down!
39
00:07:02,214 --> 00:07:05,384
Finally back on base, you delinquent?
40
00:07:05,426 --> 00:07:08,303
Why did you authorize Public Security's involvement?!
41
00:07:08,345 --> 00:07:12,558
Since I can't dismiss the possibility
that Mamuro was corrupt, I had no choice.
42
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:15,602
Unit 501 should be investigating this!
43
00:07:16,603 --> 00:07:20,732
The higher-ups told us to stay out of it.
44
00:07:20,774 --> 00:07:23,318
Someone set a trap at his grave.
45
00:07:23,402 --> 00:07:24,319
Ignore it.
46
00:07:24,403 --> 00:07:26,989
His cyberbrain is gone!
47
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,074
This isn't the time to
stir up a hornet's nest.
48
00:07:30,242 --> 00:07:33,328
Then you believe that
he was taking dirty money?
49
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:37,166
He got mugged downtown.
That much is fact.
50
00:07:37,249 --> 00:07:42,754
Not an honorable death, but compared
to indictment, maybe he got lucky.
51
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:46,800
Thanks to him,
our letters of recommendation are on hold, too.
52
00:07:46,842 --> 00:07:48,844
Concentrate on your work for now.
53
00:07:48,927 --> 00:07:50,804
Work?
54
00:07:50,846 --> 00:07:55,684
I distinctly remember asking you to
analyze that infected hardware.
55
00:07:55,767 --> 00:08:00,606
Not possible.
I just got back to Japan today, you know.
56
00:08:01,523 --> 00:08:03,275
True enough.
57
00:08:03,317 --> 00:08:04,860
I'll do the assignment.
58
00:08:04,943 --> 00:08:08,614
In return, give me leave to go off-base
and authorize direct debit.
59
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,532
Such a problem child.
60
00:08:10,616 --> 00:08:13,994
I'm only going to find out who set the trap.
61
00:08:14,036 --> 00:08:17,664
Very well.
I'll take care of it in Mamuro's place.
62
00:08:17,706 --> 00:08:19,541
Thanks, Kurutsu.
63
00:08:21,084 --> 00:08:24,004
Don't forget your meeting with the brass.
64
00:09:50,549 --> 00:09:53,135
Giichi Mamuro, member of
a special unit of the GSDA,
65
00:09:53,218 --> 00:09:56,096
was murdered on the fifth of this month.
66
00:09:56,138 --> 00:09:59,641
- Niihama police say the investigation into
his possible corruption is ongoing.
- Lieutenant Colonel Mamuro is suspected of taking large bribes...
67
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:04,062
... while serving as a security official
in Harimadara's weapons export--
68
00:10:39,389 --> 00:10:42,017
Access records of his movements
on the day of his death
69
00:10:42,059 --> 00:10:44,519
and all data from city surveillance cameras.
70
00:11:12,798 --> 00:11:14,508
He was tailed.
71
00:11:14,549 --> 00:11:19,054
Scan anyone who traveled
the same route he did before time of death.
72
00:11:23,684 --> 00:11:25,185
Three...
73
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,822
A fourth?
74
00:12:09,438 --> 00:12:13,108
Three men and a mobile land mine
were following him?
75
00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:22,284
"Funds transferred."
76
00:12:25,412 --> 00:12:26,913
What is this?
77
00:12:28,999 --> 00:12:30,542
Any pain?
78
00:12:30,584 --> 00:12:32,711
Not right now, no.
79
00:12:32,753 --> 00:12:36,131
It's similar to the phantom pain
particular to cyborgs,
80
00:12:36,173 --> 00:12:38,759
but that should not affect you.
81
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,553
Could be a bad contact
in your nervous components.
82
00:12:41,595 --> 00:12:43,597
Any other abnormalities?
83
00:12:49,853 --> 00:12:51,563
No.
84
00:12:51,605 --> 00:12:53,982
We should do a full-body checkup to be safe.
85
00:12:54,065 --> 00:12:58,320
Thank you, but I have a meeting to go to.
86
00:13:02,824 --> 00:13:06,161
Goodness, you have visitors.
87
00:13:06,203 --> 00:13:08,497
They announced themselves
as Public Security Section 9.
88
00:13:08,580 --> 00:13:09,956
Say I'm not here.
89
00:13:13,585 --> 00:13:18,507
As both a Special Cyborg
and a recognized wizard-class programmer,
90
00:13:18,590 --> 00:13:22,135
new regulations apply to you
under the revised Weapons Act.
91
00:13:22,177 --> 00:13:27,182
The Prosthetics Maintenance Rule now applies
to issuing identification,
92
00:13:27,265 --> 00:13:31,853
possessing cash, opening bank accounts,
or other ownership of assets.
93
00:13:31,895 --> 00:13:34,523
In Lt. Col. Mamuro's letter
on my reclassification,
94
00:13:34,564 --> 00:13:37,984
he guaranteed my financial autonomy.
95
00:13:38,026 --> 00:13:41,863
If he's proven corrupt,
he'll receive a dishonorable discharge,
96
00:13:41,947 --> 00:13:44,449
and all such documents will be void.
97
00:13:44,491 --> 00:13:46,701
You expect me to endure a position
98
00:13:46,785 --> 00:13:50,038
where I have to file paperwork
every time I open my wallet?
99
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:53,792
The cost of prosthetic bodies far exceeds
standard health insurance payouts.
100
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:58,338
You ought to do your duty to the government
which guarantees your right to life.
101
00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:02,217
This is the consent form for your monitoring
and custody post-restructuring.
102
00:14:02,259 --> 00:14:04,719
Make an effort to understand your circumstances.
103
00:14:17,858 --> 00:14:20,735
During the war,
Japan allocated a sky-high budget
104
00:14:20,777 --> 00:14:23,196
to promote cyborg development.
105
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:27,075
Did they tell you to become
Army property to foot the bill?
106
00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:31,830
There were large deposits
made to Mamuro's accounts.
107
00:14:31,872 --> 00:14:37,586
But after his murder,
someone withdrew all that money.
108
00:14:37,669 --> 00:14:39,379
What do you want?
109
00:14:39,421 --> 00:14:44,551
Major Kusanagi, of Unit 501.
No criminal record.
110
00:14:44,593 --> 00:14:48,221
You work with the Army and Public Security
as a special consultant.
111
00:14:48,263 --> 00:14:51,558
You specialize in solving cybercrimes.
112
00:14:58,773 --> 00:15:02,611
I request that you track down the missing money
and analyze the coffin records.
113
00:15:02,652 --> 00:15:06,948
Since it's an official investigation,
you should get leave to go off-base.
114
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:08,116
What's the pay?
115
00:15:08,199 --> 00:15:12,454
I'll give you the regular consulting fee,
as a civilian.
116
00:15:12,495 --> 00:15:14,372
That'll be an issue, you know.
117
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:19,544
A soldier famous for his integrity being shot
to death in secret is a bigger issue.
118
00:15:29,596 --> 00:15:31,222
- Hey!
- How dare you?!
119
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:36,102
Tomorrow morning,
I'll send you a liaison who'll double as a bodyguard.
120
00:15:36,144 --> 00:15:37,562
Think she's in?
121
00:15:37,604 --> 00:15:39,940
She's as in the dark as we are.
122
00:15:39,981 --> 00:15:42,984
If she wants to be free,
she'll have to find out the truth.
123
00:15:49,074 --> 00:15:51,660
Still don't want the 501 to investigate?
124
00:15:51,701 --> 00:15:55,163
Make one wrong move,
and our unit could get dissolved.
125
00:15:55,246 --> 00:15:57,332
Public Security offered me an assignment.
126
00:15:57,415 --> 00:15:58,667
Will you accept?
127
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:00,126
Lend me a hand.
128
00:16:00,168 --> 00:16:03,672
If you can't get it done alone,
you'll be at the end of the line.
129
00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:06,633
No one else will be able to protect you then.
130
00:16:06,675 --> 00:16:10,178
Being protected isn't what I learned to do here!
131
00:16:10,220 --> 00:16:12,305
I learned to make the most of my strengths!
132
00:16:14,933 --> 00:16:18,019
I'll grant permission for you to use Server 6.
133
00:16:18,061 --> 00:16:19,854
Thanks.
134
00:16:19,938 --> 00:16:21,940
Just don't forget the job I gave you.
135
00:16:29,072 --> 00:16:31,783
List the people working on the case.
136
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:35,328
But this is clearly related to the LTC's mugging!
137
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:39,207
We know he met up with the prostitute.
We need a warrant for her cust--
138
00:16:39,249 --> 00:16:42,711
It's military jurisdiction!
You keep out of it!
139
00:16:42,794 --> 00:16:46,172
You just forget this case, you hear me?
That's an order!
140
00:16:49,634 --> 00:16:52,804
Then what's a special investigator even for, dammit?!
141
00:16:55,098 --> 00:16:58,143
"Mamuro was being followed."
142
00:16:59,185 --> 00:17:00,687
What?!
143
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:23,251
- Hey!
- St-Stop right there!
144
00:17:39,642 --> 00:17:41,102
There you are!
145
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:53,448
Well, if it isn't the little tomboy from the lab.
146
00:17:59,496 --> 00:18:03,291
The one who infiltrated me... is in that car...!
147
00:18:09,631 --> 00:18:11,883
You fool! That makes you a deserter!
148
00:18:17,180 --> 00:18:19,057
Stop, Raizo!
149
00:18:19,099 --> 00:18:21,101
All right, Kusanagi?
150
00:18:21,142 --> 00:18:23,061
Instructor Ibachi...
151
00:18:23,103 --> 00:18:27,732
Don't think you can do whatever you want
just because you were Mamuro's favorite!
152
00:18:27,774 --> 00:18:31,236
Your selfish actions put the whole unit in danger!
153
00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:35,240
That's enough!
I'll be the one to lecture her.
154
00:18:37,325 --> 00:18:40,411
That bitch only survived as a test subject.
155
00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:48,670
The number is a fake.
He's a slippery customer.
156
00:18:48,711 --> 00:18:52,006
We've proven there was an infiltrator, at least.
157
00:18:52,090 --> 00:18:53,842
What does Kurutsu say?
158
00:18:53,883 --> 00:18:55,343
"Ignore it."
159
00:18:57,053 --> 00:18:58,471
Is your prosthetic body acting up?
160
00:19:01,266 --> 00:19:02,851
I don't know.
161
00:19:02,934 --> 00:19:04,519
Goodness, another visitor.
162
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:06,980
You've got a strange one here to see you.
163
00:19:11,025 --> 00:19:12,527
What is this?
164
00:19:17,282 --> 00:19:21,619
It uses signal lights?
How old is this thing?
165
00:19:23,621 --> 00:19:24,873
Here, come with me.
166
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:41,139
Construct your learning base yourself.
167
00:19:47,312 --> 00:19:49,189
Hello, nice to meet you!
168
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:55,403
I'm an autonomous-follower logistics system--
a "Logistics Conveyer Machine".
169
00:19:55,486 --> 00:19:59,490
You're Section 9's "liaison
who'll double as a bodyguard"?
170
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:02,493
Chief Aramaki calls me a "Logicoma"!
171
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:07,081
You'll be receiving information through me,
Major Kusanagi.
172
00:20:07,165 --> 00:20:11,753
No synching. Explain things orally or as data.
173
00:20:11,794 --> 00:20:17,008
Um... Any Army case information on the group
identified as illicit arms dealers
174
00:20:17,050 --> 00:20:21,429
would be very useful to Chief Aramaki
in tracking down a mobile land mine!
175
00:20:21,512 --> 00:20:24,432
The Army? Arms dealers?
176
00:20:24,474 --> 00:20:25,934
Yes, sir!
177
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:31,856
You disappear. I'll take it from here.
178
00:20:31,898 --> 00:20:34,400
Order acknowledged!
179
00:20:36,194 --> 00:20:37,695
Optical camouflage?
180
00:20:46,496 --> 00:20:48,373
Stay here and guard my bike.
181
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:49,916
Right!
182
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:57,799
Come on, walk straight!
Look, we're almost there.
183
00:21:04,013 --> 00:21:05,807
Hi there!
184
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:06,808
Come on in.
185
00:21:06,849 --> 00:21:09,894
It's not even dinnertime,
and this guy's three sheets to the wind!
186
00:21:09,936 --> 00:21:12,230
Get him something cold, okay?
187
00:21:12,272 --> 00:21:15,650
Come on, get it together!
Sit straight!
188
00:21:28,204 --> 00:21:29,622
I fold.
189
00:21:29,664 --> 00:21:31,249
Gonna go hit the can.
190
00:21:31,291 --> 00:21:32,959
Hey, no fair!
191
00:21:33,001 --> 00:21:35,086
But you had a great hand!
192
00:21:41,175 --> 00:21:42,677
There.
193
00:21:49,017 --> 00:21:50,518
Warning! Warning!
194
00:21:50,601 --> 00:21:52,979
Someone approaching, extremely close!
195
00:21:55,857 --> 00:21:58,484
Don't move. Who sent you?!
196
00:22:17,545 --> 00:22:20,048
Were you the ones who killed Lt. Col. Mamuro?
197
00:22:20,089 --> 00:22:21,966
Huh? Are you Public Security?
198
00:22:22,008 --> 00:22:23,634
Answer me!
199
00:22:23,676 --> 00:22:29,682
First you check the Army database!
Code 24, Ops H2976...
200
00:22:29,724 --> 00:22:31,893
...code name Paz!
201
00:22:32,935 --> 00:22:34,645
You're undercover?!
202
00:22:35,688 --> 00:22:40,068
Yeah, the group I'm in with was hired for a hit.
203
00:22:40,109 --> 00:22:41,527
They said the target was a full cyborg
204
00:22:41,569 --> 00:22:44,572
and his cyberbrain had to be destroyed,
so we'd use mobile land mines.
205
00:22:44,614 --> 00:22:47,700
Three of 'em--and I'm talking military-grade.
206
00:22:47,742 --> 00:22:50,078
Lt. Col. Mamuro's murder?
207
00:22:50,161 --> 00:22:54,374
Who knows?
Apparently somebody beat our guys to it,
208
00:22:54,415 --> 00:22:56,584
and we let the mines get away.
209
00:22:56,626 --> 00:22:58,711
Where did the mines come from?
210
00:22:58,753 --> 00:23:00,922
Maneuver Area 6.
211
00:23:00,963 --> 00:23:05,593
That place is a joke.
Might as well set foxes to guard a henhouse.
212
00:23:07,428 --> 00:23:09,847
Feel like proving it with me?
213
00:23:11,891 --> 00:23:14,936
This ain't the best job,
but I can't just drop it.
214
00:23:15,019 --> 00:23:19,107
I'd be in danger,
and I'd cause trouble for my CO.
215
00:23:19,148 --> 00:23:21,275
Is your CO trustworthy?
216
00:23:22,693 --> 00:23:24,278
Used to be.
217
00:23:26,447 --> 00:23:27,949
I see.
218
00:23:29,659 --> 00:23:31,369
Thanks for your cooperation.
219
00:23:32,537 --> 00:23:35,456
I wish I had your freedom of movement.
220
00:23:46,008 --> 00:23:47,969
You can't analyze it?
221
00:23:48,010 --> 00:23:49,720
It might just be noise.
222
00:24:09,532 --> 00:24:14,912
No full-body cyborg gets to leave
this organization and go independent.
223
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:19,333
You're just a girl with
a little talent for cyber warfare.
224
00:24:19,417 --> 00:24:21,836
Mamuro's death was an inevitability.
225
00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:25,298
Don't step out of line, or I'll take you out.
226
00:24:26,591 --> 00:24:29,302
Kurutsu and Ibachi can't shield you from me.
227
00:24:30,511 --> 00:24:32,013
An inevitability...
228
00:25:24,106 --> 00:25:26,484
Their security's a joke, all right.
229
00:25:39,789 --> 00:25:42,583
All that's left is to connect the dots...
230
00:25:42,625 --> 00:25:46,921
Look, I've got authorization!
And all I'm gonna do is ask questions!
231
00:25:46,963 --> 00:25:49,549
Take your complaints to the station.
232
00:25:49,590 --> 00:25:54,762
Where does he get off?
It ain't like I've never been deployed, dammit...
233
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:03,521
This is bullshit!
They're not even he--
234
00:26:05,815 --> 00:26:10,027
Ah, sorry. I'm a special investigator
with the Niihama police.
235
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:13,030
I was told I could find these two here.
236
00:26:13,072 --> 00:26:15,241
I have some questions for First Lieutenant Moto Seta
237
00:26:15,283 --> 00:26:17,702
and Captain Amuri Noto here--
238
00:26:17,743 --> 00:26:21,706
Thanks. You just connected some dots.
239
00:26:21,747 --> 00:26:27,628
And I see some others just connected.
How about showing yourself?
240
00:26:34,635 --> 00:26:36,971
Batou the Ranger?
241
00:26:37,054 --> 00:26:42,226
Long time no see.
Gotta say I didn't figure you for this one.
242
00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:43,811
What do you mean?
243
00:26:43,853 --> 00:26:48,649
The man you killed seven days ago
was a comrade of mine!
244
00:26:48,733 --> 00:26:51,444
I just got back to Japan three days ago.
245
00:26:51,485 --> 00:26:53,237
Oh, really?!
246
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:19,347
I've told you your sleepless eye's weakness
is how easy it is to infiltrate.
247
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:23,017
Still afraid of taking friendly
fire out in the jungle?
248
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:25,603
I'm an electronic warfare specialist too!
249
00:27:25,645 --> 00:27:28,814
I can't believe you infiltrated me
in the middle of a fight!
250
00:27:28,856 --> 00:27:32,109
You're just about the only one who'd infiltrate me.
251
00:27:32,485 --> 00:27:35,154
So, why are you after me?
252
00:27:35,196 --> 00:27:36,489
Don't play dumb!
253
00:27:36,530 --> 00:27:39,784
You're the one who got this place's
mobile land mines!
254
00:27:44,246 --> 00:27:45,873
What the hell?!
255
00:27:53,964 --> 00:27:55,049
Wait!
256
00:27:55,091 --> 00:27:56,884
Don't shoot! Run!
257
00:28:08,646 --> 00:28:10,147
Don't!
258
00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:38,509
Those guys aren't with you?!
259
00:28:38,551 --> 00:28:40,344
Seriously, what are you talking about?
260
00:28:40,386 --> 00:28:41,929
Hey, look!
261
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:47,768
They found us!
262
00:28:48,936 --> 00:28:50,438
They want to eliminate us here.
263
00:28:50,521 --> 00:28:52,606
And their excuse will be
a "training exercise accident"?
264
00:28:52,648 --> 00:28:55,276
I can't stop 'em with this puny gun!
265
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,197
We'll just have to run!
266
00:29:05,745 --> 00:29:06,871
Now we climb!
267
00:29:06,912 --> 00:29:07,955
Climb this?!
268
00:29:08,038 --> 00:29:10,082
Damn straight!
269
00:29:10,124 --> 00:29:12,626
We'll hold them off, so get moving!
270
00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:14,712
- Okay, fine.
- Hello!
271
00:29:14,754 --> 00:29:16,255
What's that?!
272
00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:19,884
We're surrounded.
273
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,054
I told you, move it!
274
00:29:24,096 --> 00:29:25,973
I know, I know!
275
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:36,817
Get in!
276
00:29:56,504 --> 00:29:58,506
I thought you "couldn't drop it"?
277
00:29:58,589 --> 00:30:01,008
This makes a nice change of pace.
278
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:23,113
You asked the military police for help?
279
00:30:23,155 --> 00:30:26,283
To escort a suspect.
280
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:27,827
What's this about?
281
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:36,544
This makes no sense.
282
00:30:36,585 --> 00:30:42,132
Firstly: the missing money went to
your account, Major Kusanagi.
283
00:30:42,174 --> 00:30:46,387
Secondly: the bullet you fired
on the mobile land mine at the graveyard
284
00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:49,640
matched the one that killed Lt. Col. Mamuro.
285
00:30:49,682 --> 00:30:53,894
Seven days ago,
a prostitute here in town was shot to death.
286
00:30:53,936 --> 00:30:56,730
The bullet matched the one
that killed Mamuro.
287
00:30:56,814 --> 00:31:00,067
Mamuro had met with her,
and according to the other working girls,
288
00:31:00,109 --> 00:31:03,362
he was asking questions about one of her clients.
289
00:31:03,404 --> 00:31:06,866
Seven days ago, one of my fellow Rangers
290
00:31:06,907 --> 00:31:09,535
was killed by a mobile land mine,
along with his family.
291
00:31:12,454 --> 00:31:15,916
He'd been in contact with Mamuro, too.
292
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,088
And when I traced the land mine to its source,
it led me to the major here.
293
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:24,341
By the way, she says
she got back to Japan three days ago,
294
00:31:24,383 --> 00:31:27,011
but Immigration records say it was seven days ago.
295
00:31:27,052 --> 00:31:29,930
The three mines my group was supposed to use
296
00:31:30,014 --> 00:31:33,183
were the same model as the one Section 9
dug up at the graveyard.
297
00:31:33,225 --> 00:31:37,271
Assuming one of those three was buried
and another killed the Ranger,
298
00:31:37,354 --> 00:31:39,607
there's one more left unaccounted for.
299
00:31:39,690 --> 00:31:43,736
At the moment,
all the clues point to you murdering Mamuro
300
00:31:43,777 --> 00:31:46,113
and stealing his money.
301
00:31:47,573 --> 00:31:53,370
Right after I landed,
I got a message and an attaché case from him.
302
00:31:53,412 --> 00:31:58,459
I'm sorry, Major Kusanagi.
I doubt I'll be in this world much longer.
303
00:32:00,169 --> 00:32:03,088
I wanted to get justice.
304
00:32:03,130 --> 00:32:07,092
I've left your recommendation in someone else's care.
305
00:32:07,134 --> 00:32:12,139
You're the most promising squad member I know.
I wish you luck.
306
00:32:12,556 --> 00:32:17,478
In the case, I found data
on an internal weapons exportation racket...
307
00:32:17,937 --> 00:32:19,772
...and this gun.
308
00:32:19,813 --> 00:32:24,318
You've moved a lot of money in the past few days.
309
00:32:24,401 --> 00:32:26,987
Who are you sending it to?
310
00:32:27,029 --> 00:32:30,658
The widow of the man who raised me.
311
00:32:30,699 --> 00:32:35,996
She's taken care of me since I was little,
but she's in a nursing home now.
312
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,082
What's her name?
313
00:32:39,875 --> 00:32:42,336
What is this woman's name?
314
00:32:55,349 --> 00:32:57,476
Phantom pain, huh?
315
00:32:57,518 --> 00:33:02,106
Even after you mechanize your body,
your brain never forgets the original.
316
00:33:02,147 --> 00:33:03,857
Pain in the ass.
317
00:33:03,899 --> 00:33:06,193
I don't have an "original" body.
318
00:33:06,235 --> 00:33:07,611
What?
319
00:33:07,653 --> 00:33:11,490
Have you heard of Doctor Bakeru's
emergency medicine system?
320
00:33:11,532 --> 00:33:13,951
That thing where someone
with a full prosthetic body
321
00:33:13,993 --> 00:33:16,870
uses their life-support system
on somebody else?
322
00:33:17,997 --> 00:33:23,377
The person who raised me used it on me
while I was in my mother's womb.
323
00:33:28,465 --> 00:33:34,221
Supposedly a chemical weapon killed
a large number of civilians way back when.
324
00:33:34,263 --> 00:33:38,058
A pregnant woman and the man assumed
to be her husband both died.
325
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:40,060
We don't even know their names.
326
00:33:40,102 --> 00:33:43,731
Because someone with that particular lifesaver
happened to be on the scene,
327
00:33:43,772 --> 00:33:46,400
the fetus's brain alone survived.
328
00:33:46,442 --> 00:33:49,403
You're saying you were made a full cyborg at birth?!
329
00:33:49,486 --> 00:33:52,406
I lack any memory of a body.
330
00:33:52,489 --> 00:33:58,245
So perhaps you could call this "ghost pain",
created by false memories.
331
00:34:04,668 --> 00:34:08,005
This is surveillance footage from Maneuver Area 6.
332
00:34:08,047 --> 00:34:10,716
Your subordinate is in it.
333
00:34:10,758 --> 00:34:13,052
If you refuse to hand her over,
334
00:34:13,093 --> 00:34:16,597
I'll present you with a summons signed by
the Defense Minister himself.
335
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,434
I'll submit a written report at a later date.
I can't hand her over.
336
00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:23,103
Vixen.
337
00:34:23,145 --> 00:34:24,938
I'll make you regret this.
338
00:34:32,613 --> 00:34:36,742
That's Shujiro Kanzaki.
He's in charge of Maneuver Area 6,
339
00:34:36,784 --> 00:34:39,620
and he leads a team of special agents.
340
00:34:39,661 --> 00:34:42,915
He's also the Army's dirty go-between with
the Ministry of Defense.
341
00:34:42,956 --> 00:34:46,293
Don't worry. I'll protect you.
342
00:34:49,463 --> 00:34:50,964
What's wrong?
343
00:34:52,174 --> 00:34:53,717
It's nothing.
344
00:35:07,564 --> 00:35:12,653
It's been empty from the beginning?
Then where's the gun?!
345
00:35:12,736 --> 00:35:16,115
Why did I think there were
whistle-blowing documents in it?!
346
00:35:16,156 --> 00:35:17,658
And the lieutenant colonel...?
347
00:35:36,426 --> 00:35:37,845
What's real?
348
00:35:38,262 --> 00:35:39,805
What's the truth?
349
00:35:46,728 --> 00:35:48,522
Where's the lieutenant colonel's cyberbrain?
350
00:35:52,943 --> 00:35:54,194
Wait, Kusanagi.
351
00:35:54,236 --> 00:35:56,655
Calm down.
352
00:35:56,697 --> 00:36:02,536
The hardware Kurutsu had me analyze
matched his Net synch pattern.
353
00:36:02,578 --> 00:36:05,956
He and I were infected
with the same virus, weren't we?
354
00:36:05,998 --> 00:36:08,542
With something hypothesized
to be a cyber-virus.
355
00:36:08,625 --> 00:36:11,044
We speculate that it's
a self-destructing Stuxnet-type
356
00:36:11,128 --> 00:36:14,006
which causes unknown dysfunction.
357
00:36:14,047 --> 00:36:18,135
"Unknown dysfunction"...
You mean false memories.
358
00:36:18,177 --> 00:36:19,803
It was purely a hypothesis.
359
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:22,890
At least, until we checked into your behavior.
360
00:36:22,973 --> 00:36:25,976
I just got back to Japan today, you know.
361
00:36:26,268 --> 00:36:28,187
True enough.
362
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,814
When did I come back to Japan?
363
00:36:30,856 --> 00:36:34,067
Approximately 180 hours ago.
In other words, seven days.
364
00:36:34,109 --> 00:36:39,573
And yet you continue to claim it was
another day altogether.
365
00:36:39,615 --> 00:36:40,908
Route of transmission?
366
00:36:40,991 --> 00:36:43,368
It must have been contact with Mamuro's cyberbrain.
367
00:36:43,410 --> 00:36:46,246
Which is still with his prosthetic body.
368
00:36:47,247 --> 00:36:50,083
His coffin was a trap.
369
00:36:50,167 --> 00:36:54,046
And the records Public Security got of his
burial show no signs of tampering.
370
00:36:56,048 --> 00:36:57,925
So that's how it is...
371
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:01,845
Logicoma, synch with me.
372
00:37:01,887 --> 00:37:03,347
Are you sure?
373
00:37:03,388 --> 00:37:08,685
Just get on with it.
Record my field of vision and play it back in real time.
374
00:37:08,727 --> 00:37:10,896
Roger!
375
00:37:13,148 --> 00:37:15,359
I see things that shouldn't be there.
376
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,119
I don't see things that should be there.
377
00:37:50,644 --> 00:37:52,479
Here, the whole time...?
378
00:37:54,147 --> 00:37:55,440
"Special agent" "The LTC is innocent"
379
00:38:14,668 --> 00:38:17,629
This is a warrant for Major Kusanagi's arrest.
380
00:38:19,965 --> 00:38:22,175
Surrender her immediately.
381
00:38:23,135 --> 00:38:24,553
"Special agent" "The LTC is innocent"
382
00:38:24,553 --> 00:38:26,305
"Special agent" "The LTC is innocent"
What happened to this room?!
383
00:38:26,305 --> 00:38:27,097
"Special agent" "The LTC is innocent"
384
00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:48,493
The records weren't tampered with.
385
00:38:48,535 --> 00:38:52,831
They just buried the truth under a lie.
386
00:39:27,074 --> 00:39:28,575
I've found it...
387
00:39:29,951 --> 00:39:32,412
My reality.
388
00:39:41,338 --> 00:39:42,839
Drive.
389
00:39:53,058 --> 00:39:56,603
The lieutenant colonel
came to you to blow the whistle.
390
00:39:56,686 --> 00:40:00,273
Didn't he, Mr. Sadamoto, Vice-Minister of Defense?
391
00:40:00,357 --> 00:40:01,400
Yes.
392
00:40:01,441 --> 00:40:03,610
But you ordered a cover-up.
393
00:40:03,693 --> 00:40:05,904
Because it couldn't be made public!
394
00:40:05,946 --> 00:40:08,532
We ignored treaties and sold arms to
Third World countries during the war
395
00:40:08,573 --> 00:40:11,910
to relieve its financial burden on us.
396
00:40:11,952 --> 00:40:14,413
That's governmental weapons smuggling!
397
00:40:14,454 --> 00:40:17,624
- Harimadara was at the center of it,
and as their security official,
- Vice-Minister, what's the matter?
398
00:40:17,707 --> 00:40:20,460
- Lt. Col. Mamuro found out about the illegal trade.
- Vice-Minister!
399
00:40:20,502 --> 00:40:21,461
What is it?
400
00:40:21,503 --> 00:40:23,046
- Do you realize how much
- He's in danger!
401
00:40:23,088 --> 00:40:25,966
the missile business has helped
our country's finances?!
402
00:40:26,049 --> 00:40:28,552
The lieutenant colonel learned of
your cover-up and investigated.
403
00:40:28,593 --> 00:40:32,597
The prostitute you frequented.
The Ranger who escorted you.
404
00:40:32,639 --> 00:40:36,601
When he got info from them,
he decided to blow the whistle on you.
405
00:40:36,643 --> 00:40:40,230
So you ordered Captain Kanzaki to kill him.
406
00:40:40,272 --> 00:40:42,816
I just ordered him to solve the situation!
407
00:40:42,899 --> 00:40:47,612
Yes, a few people suffered,
but I don't know who killed Mamuro.
408
00:40:47,654 --> 00:40:50,490
Hell, maybe he really was mugged.
409
00:40:50,532 --> 00:40:52,325
You claim even you don't know?
410
00:40:52,409 --> 00:40:54,161
No, and I don't want to!
411
00:40:54,202 --> 00:40:57,831
That arms dealing will be purged
during restructuring anyway,
412
00:40:57,873 --> 00:41:01,001
and we're deliberating next-generation weapons
to replace missiles.
413
00:41:01,084 --> 00:41:06,173
But this mess kills the job Harimadara has
lined up for when I leave office!
414
00:41:06,256 --> 00:41:09,843
You're quite the chatterbox.
A desire to confess?
415
00:41:09,885 --> 00:41:14,931
Maybe so. Either way, you'll never tell anyone!
416
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,315
Stop!
417
00:41:25,233 --> 00:41:26,776
Someone help!
418
00:41:38,330 --> 00:41:40,499
Should've blown him away.
419
00:41:40,540 --> 00:41:45,212
Wasn't being more than a killing machine
the whole point of getting out?
420
00:41:45,295 --> 00:41:48,715
In the end, I had no place to go.
421
00:41:48,798 --> 00:41:52,844
They traced us through the remote control.
They're coming.
422
00:41:52,886 --> 00:41:56,056
You go on. They're mine.
423
00:41:56,139 --> 00:41:57,849
There are two of them.
424
00:41:57,891 --> 00:42:01,228
Fine with me.
We'll see who's the better killer.
425
00:42:03,647 --> 00:42:05,232
Take care.
426
00:42:05,273 --> 00:42:07,567
You too.
427
00:42:07,609 --> 00:42:14,199
I hate to say it, but they're not
the only ones to benefit from his death.
428
00:42:14,241 --> 00:42:16,576
Yes. Thank you.
429
00:43:21,474 --> 00:43:24,144
You're the ones who killed the lieutenant colonel!
430
00:43:55,717 --> 00:44:01,598
I warned you that if you stepped out of line,
I'd take you out.
431
00:45:39,904 --> 00:45:41,531
That's enough of that.
432
00:45:46,453 --> 00:45:50,123
You've reached your limit, Kusanagi.
433
00:45:57,005 --> 00:46:01,634
Raizo and Ibachi were luring the enemy here
with the money as bait.
434
00:46:03,678 --> 00:46:06,473
We've eliminated six spies.
435
00:46:06,556 --> 00:46:08,141
That's plenty.
436
00:46:08,183 --> 00:46:15,565
Kanzaki funneled money into Mamuro's account,
I moved it... and you used it.
437
00:46:15,607 --> 00:46:17,150
That's right.
438
00:46:17,233 --> 00:46:22,113
The gun used on the prostitute was
the beginning of the enemy plot.
439
00:46:22,155 --> 00:46:28,578
Blowing up the Ranger, the phony bribery...
All the blame was placed on Mamuro.
440
00:46:33,374 --> 00:46:37,086
And he intended to bring
the Vice-Minister down with him.
441
00:46:37,128 --> 00:46:39,339
It was the worst possible choice.
442
00:46:39,422 --> 00:46:46,137
Unit 501 would have gone on the Army purge list
in retaliation for the scandal.
443
00:46:46,179 --> 00:46:50,642
So you let him die. All of you.
444
00:47:10,870 --> 00:47:15,625
If it weren't for the memory virus,
maybe we could have saved him.
445
00:47:15,667 --> 00:47:18,878
But as things stood, the only option was to secure
446
00:47:18,962 --> 00:47:24,175
Mamuro's cyberbrain, the mine,
and the money before he got blown up.
447
00:47:29,180 --> 00:47:36,396
But what neither we
nor the enemy accounted for was you.
448
00:47:36,437 --> 00:47:42,193
As soon as I arrived and got the data,
I went after the lieutenant colonel.
449
00:47:56,082 --> 00:47:59,252
And you were infected by his cyberbrain.
450
00:48:10,179 --> 00:48:16,060
Even as you gathered the evidence,
you were continually losing memories.
451
00:48:16,102 --> 00:48:18,062
"The LTC is innocent"
452
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,443
What organization developed the virus?
453
00:48:23,526 --> 00:48:27,447
Unclear. All we know is that
a foreign broker brought it here
454
00:48:27,488 --> 00:48:31,367
and that people call it "Fire-Starter".
455
00:48:31,409 --> 00:48:35,246
Was it a foreign power
that cooked up the scandal?
456
00:48:35,288 --> 00:48:38,791
Our enemy is the global
military-industrial complex itself.
457
00:48:38,833 --> 00:48:41,794
What would dragging down
one vice-minister accomplish?
458
00:48:41,878 --> 00:48:45,757
Did you take the disc he left me?
459
00:48:45,798 --> 00:48:47,258
I did that to protect you.
460
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:49,928
You used me as bait for the enemy!
461
00:48:49,969 --> 00:48:51,930
I did that to protect the organization.
462
00:48:51,971 --> 00:48:54,474
Why did you stand back and watch him die?
463
00:48:54,515 --> 00:48:56,935
I did that to protect myself.
464
00:49:05,985 --> 00:49:11,783
You stick with me, Kusanagi.
I'll build a future for you.
465
00:49:20,959 --> 00:49:23,169
The pain is gone now.
466
00:49:27,632 --> 00:49:29,968
Section 9 and the review committee
467
00:49:30,009 --> 00:49:33,680
have formally cleared Lt. Col. Mamuro of suspicion.
468
00:49:33,763 --> 00:49:38,768
Thus, as his recommendation was renewed
by a third party, we will implement it.
469
00:49:38,810 --> 00:49:43,272
Due to your excellent record, we also grant you
the post-reorganization major rank.
470
00:49:43,314 --> 00:49:46,985
In addition, in accordance with the will
of your late legal guardian,
471
00:49:47,026 --> 00:49:49,320
you'll receive a testamentary trust.
472
00:49:50,822 --> 00:49:53,449
It's an inheritance from the person who raised you.
473
00:49:53,491 --> 00:49:56,369
A portion of it is earmarked for
the purchase of your prosthetic body.
474
00:49:56,452 --> 00:49:59,288
Which means that your body is now your property,
475
00:49:59,330 --> 00:50:01,374
and is outside Army jurisdiction.
476
00:50:04,168 --> 00:50:06,546
You're quite sure about this?
477
00:50:06,587 --> 00:50:08,047
The virus may be an unknown,
478
00:50:08,131 --> 00:50:11,342
but we've identified the architecture
of the false memories.
479
00:50:11,384 --> 00:50:13,011
Do it.
480
00:50:13,052 --> 00:50:16,389
Very well. We'll attempt memory eradication.
481
00:51:04,312 --> 00:51:05,938
Will you go?
482
00:51:06,022 --> 00:51:07,273
Yes.
483
00:51:07,356 --> 00:51:09,942
Make sure to pay your respects to your parents.
484
00:51:11,694 --> 00:51:13,196
Thanks.
485
00:51:21,496 --> 00:51:23,039
I'm going.
486
00:51:44,519 --> 00:51:46,479
We'll find a replacement.
487
00:51:54,195 --> 00:51:56,155
Want a ride?
488
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,408
Consider it my thanks for telling us
the location of Mamuro's cyberbrain.
489
00:51:59,450 --> 00:52:01,160
I'll take the bus.
490
00:52:01,244 --> 00:52:03,162
Then I'll just give you the results.
491
00:52:03,246 --> 00:52:07,792
Captain Kanzaki was replaced.
Mr. Sadamoto will be tried in closed court.
492
00:52:07,834 --> 00:52:12,004
I promise to make the lieutenant colonel's
findings public one day.
493
00:52:12,088 --> 00:52:18,845
I see. By the way--are you the one
he gave my recommendation to?
494
00:52:18,886 --> 00:52:22,849
Hard to say.
A man in my position gets a lot of those.
495
00:52:22,932 --> 00:52:24,767
In fact, one of them outlined plans
496
00:52:24,809 --> 00:52:29,480
to create a new special unit within
the international rescue team.
497
00:52:29,522 --> 00:52:34,277
I'd like someone who's got experience
as a special consultant.
498
00:52:34,318 --> 00:52:39,490
Intriguing, but I don't want to work
under a man who digs up people's graves.
499
00:52:39,532 --> 00:52:43,369
You dug up something even deeper.
500
00:52:43,452 --> 00:52:47,290
If you're serious about going independent,
you should have your own team.
501
00:52:47,331 --> 00:52:55,548
The regulations say a unit needs
a minimum of one commander and six members.
502
00:52:55,590 --> 00:52:57,175
I'll keep that in mind.
503
00:52:59,510 --> 00:53:04,140
May it be a team not for defense of self or state,
but for taking the offensive.
504
00:57:30,281 --> 00:57:32,616
Six people, huh?
505
00:57:32,658 --> 00:57:35,161
Hmm, whom shall I scout...?
