"Angelui i demonui kruzhili na duh minoi Angels and demons were circling over me, rassekali terni-i mlechuie puti Breaking apart shadows and milky ways." "me znayet shastya ottovo Not knowing happiness is the only one." "shto evo zova ponyat ne s-mog The one who could not understand its call." "mana du vortes, mana du vortes The flow may swallow you." "The flow may swallow you aeria gloris, aeria gloris Flying in glory, Flying in glory mana du vortes, mana du vortes The flow may swallow you." "The flow may swallow you aeria gloris, aeria gloris Flying in glory, Flying in glory" "I am calling, calling now." "Spirits rise and falling." "s-toboi ostatsya dalshe To be with you longer..." "Calling, calling..." "In the depth of longing s-toboi ostatsya dalshe To be with you longer... mana du vortes, aeria gloris The flow may swallow you, flying in glory" "Is this it?" "The factory that continues to manufacture the android?" "It's not as large as I thought." "Androids committing suicide en masse;" "It's a topic the media would die to get the scoop on, don't you think?" "I'll give you 10 minutes." "While I question the supervisor, you'll be conducting an internal investigation of the production line." "Roger." "Tachikoma, you got that?" "Of course!" "Despite my appearance, I'm a pro at this!" "Please call the factory supervisor." "Put that in the warehouse!" "I am Aramaki from Section 9." "I've come to ask you regarding the recent mass malfunction of your androids." "I'm this factory's supervisor, Abe." "I'm truly sorry about this uproar." "I heard that they were all of the same model." "The GA07JLK." "It was a model called "Jeri" by its users." "It had a mediocre sales rate after we released it in the market, but now there are only 8000 units in total that are still operating in Japan." ""Connect, please."" "To be honest with you, it's not really our bread winner, if you know what I mean." "We only manufacture "aftercare" parts now anyway." "Ishikawa." "I'm listening;" "looking it up now." "Now the users complain that its design is too old, and that its speech and movements are awkward, so I'm not even sure how much longer we'll continue manufacturing parts." "Do you have any ideas regarding why the Jeri model was specifically targetted?" "Well..." "I do, actually." "This model tended to have users who made inappropriate modifications." "Well..." "Although it is true that the executives were actually happy about it since it drove up sales at first, it's gotten to a point where the younger factory workers are saying that the Jeris might be killing themselves out of despair over their fate." "I beg of you, please find out what's behind it all." "Don't worry, you can count on us." "Major, we're leaving." "Excuse me." "There's no doubt it's a virus-induced incident." "By hiding it within the periodic maintenance program, the virus infiltrated the Jeris one by one when the users connected to the network." "Most probably, one of the Jeris was sent here to undergo maintenance and repairs had a time-delayed virus that insinuated itself into the factory programs." "I'm having Ishikawa analyze the virus just to be sure." "So, it is a crime committed by a civilian user." "Do you think it has nothing to do with the Diet (Japanese Parliament) incident?" "Probably." "You'd still require me to confirm that, wouldn't you?" "I've acquired a list of Jeri users." "Check those with higher political priorities first." "Send the list to Batou and Pazu, too." "I sent it to them a while ago." "We'll go check out the first one right away." "Tachikoma, go back to Headquarters and set yourself on standby until further orders." "Sadly, it doesn't seem like there'll be a chance for you to strut your stuff this time." "Say, Major..." "From what I've heard, if you house-sit, you're entitled to a present, right?" "If you're talking abouth telling you "miyagebanashi", you'll get enough to become sick of it!" "Miyagebanashi...?" "YAY!" "YAAAY!" "They're even starting to demand rewards, eh?" "Is that you, Ishikawa?" "Yes." "I've finished analyzing the virus." "It's a painfully amateurish virus that in no way resembles the one that was discovered at the Diet building." "The one thing that caught my attention was that there was something resembling a protection code." "Protecting his own Jeri from infection..." "In other words, there is a high probability that the perpetrator has an uninfected Jeri with him." "I believe so." "What about that factory supervisor's story?" "It seems that he was telling the truth." "Manufacture of the 07KL type's body ceased three years ago." "Pass along this information to the others." "You did well in such a short amount of time." "What's wrong?" "I was... praised." "The police found out!" "Even though I changed locations so many times..." "I can't live without you." "You can, can't you?" "But I don't want to!" "You will stay with me, won't you?" "Yes." "Let's go to Italy together." "What are we going to do there?" "We'll decide that once we get there!" "Sadness is meaningless." "If it's a choice between sadness and oblivion, I'll take oblivion." "So, there was a recent mass suicide by androids..." "Today, we here welcome a modern social theorist, Miyashiro-sensei." "Now then, sensei, what do you think of this recent situation?" "Well..." "Androids are not living beings in the first place, so this cannot precisely be classified as suicide." "Perhaps it could instead be called 'self-destruction,' hmm?" "there have been rumours that robots have begun to have 'ghosts'." "That is hard to believe." "Instead, we should think of the perpetrator as a prankster who wishes to stir such sentiments in the general populance..." "Bullshit." "I see, so that is why the pro-robot organizations..." "Concentrate on the investigation, okay?" "In the past, Jeri was a popular model, wasn't it?" "In terms of functionality, there wasn't anything to praise even if you looked hard, but it was cute." "Not to mention that you don't see these things around anymore." "If you don't see them around, it means that the investigation becomes that much easier." "In any event, because of this incident, this model, which never existed in huge numbers, has become even more rare." "But why do WE have to handle this sort of incident?" "We should let the normal authorities handle it." "That robot incident at the Diet Building last month..." "Have you already forgotten that it was an android manufactured by the Genesis Android Corporation?" "Well yeah, I remember, but..." "They're unrelated, arn't they?" "Investigating a nearly nonexistent casual effect is..." ""Not our job," is that what you want to say?" ""Being prepared for that one chance in a million":" "this is what we're about." "It means that for the remaining 999999 times, it's a whiffed swing." "Besides, we don't even know where the virus originated." "Oh well, since we've come this far, we might as well investigate this with a fine-tooth comb." "Let's get this crap job over with!" "Being a public servant is such fun!" "You're as barbaric as usual." "If you had let me deal with it, I'd have done it without any damage." "You take too much time." "Wow, what a classical movie fanatic." "Oh?" "Did you find anything?" "A virus that was set upon the Jeris." "Major, we've found our man." "He seems to have a sixth sense, we were one step behind." "We'll send you our current location and the information we obtained." "As for the rest, we'll await information from Ishikawa." "C'mon, cough it up!" "We don't bother to record where our precious androids go, so..." "Stop that, this was a ruse." "Again?" "So boring." "We've confirmed the perpetrator's identity." "The son of the Canadian ambassador, Marshall MacLachlan, age 26, height 129cm, no record of previous arrests." "He returned once to his native land eight years ago, bet he returned here to avoid the mandatory military service." "An ambassador's son?" "Can we even lay our hands on him?" "I'll negotiate to see if his diplomatic immunity can be overridden." "What is the perpetrator's current location?" "He's currently on Beltline 6, fleeing towards Fukuoka." "That kid must have a silver spoon stuck up his arse to have such a nice car." "As far as we can tell from the IR system's visuals, there is a Jeri with him." "Yes, that's undoubtedly a Jeri." "Wait until the time is right, then guide the vehicle off of the highway." "At that point, corner them." "We'll take more specific actions then." "Is that clear?" "Roger." "How nice..." "A seaside drive for the last time." "Still, considering that he bought a robotic girlfriend to suit himself," "Major, you're a fine one to talk." "Mmm, such a respectful comment to make towards a woman." "He's probably shutting her up in his house and" "Even if she cooks, I wouldn't think she'd be able to make anything worthwhile." "I find it hard to believe that such an advanced function would be available at that price." "Then what IS he having her do?" "Don't get snappy with me!" "Well..." "Maybe he just gazes at her day and night..." "So he IS truly lame, then!" "As I said, you're a fine one to talk..." "In any case, why is he obsessed with that rickety, obsolete robot?" "No matter what era you're in, there'll be those who can't overcome their passionate nostalgia for obsolete devices." "Sounds like you guys will get along, hmmm?" "Heh, cut it out!" "You're the one rolling along in this antiquated personal car." "In my case, it's just pure affection towards machines!" "What are you doing?" "I'm staring at you." "Why are you staring?" "Because I am." "Your profile is the best." "It's very 'you'." "There are many who're more beautiful than me, wouldn't you say?" "But they're all somehow strange." "It never goes well, and I feel pathetic..." "Are you afraid?" "I am afraid, but I've gotten used to it." "Will you say something kind to me?" "Even I don't know..." "Do you believe in the existance of a soul?" "I'll believe just in kindness." "Damn it, construction!" "I will not let it end the same way!" "It appears that he exited the highway as planned." "Please continue with the diversion, Major- dono." "You can count on it." "Intruding into the GPS system and creating a nonexistent traffic jam, huh." "Isn't it fun to work under a capable leader?" "Diversion complete!" "We'll have to thank the Major." "All we have to do now is to wait for contact from Monkey-Gramps." "There they are." "Batou." "Yes, yes?" "I've succeded in having his privileges revoked." "Go." "Roger." "He's still an ambassador's son." "Let's get this done without any injuries." "Of course." "If I can help it, I prefer using peaceful dialogue when resolving a situation." "After all, before, I was better at negotiations than shooting and fighting anyway." "Ooooh, of course you were." "I can't stand to watch them." "It's not like he can run fast at all, while keeping a Jeri with him." "I am the Canadian ambassador, Herbert Maclachlan's son," "Marshall MacLachlan!" "You cannot arrest me!" "If you're refering to your diplomatic immuntiy, it was revoked just recently by your country." "Why?" "Damn it." "Is it impossible after all?" "Don't come any closer!" "Wait." "We just want to stay together." "Don't stop us!" "Let's go, Jeri!" "Jeri..." "What are you doing?" "Have you gone mad?" "No..." "I am sane." "No, you're right, I have gone insane." "I don't want to go with you." "I don't want to..." "love you anymore." "...And how is she obsolete?" "She talks more than the Section 9 droids." "I'm sorry." "I really did love you." "What is this about?" "All in all, it was a pretty obscure incident." "Really?" "I thought it was easy enough to understand, although, in the end it proved to be unrelated to the Diet Building incident." "How do you interpret this incident?" "The threating of robots by a mecha-maniac youth with nostalgia towards old androids..." "Although it is rather ironic that the manufacture of the androids' parts resulted from it." "He probably wanted to make his android the only one in the world, didn't he?" "Are you saying that he tried to destroy all the other Jeris just for that?" "Yes, although the motive was nearsighted and the means awkward." "Hey, hey, heeey, you're unusually sentimental today, arn't you?" "Well, even if it were true, he put a protection code in his own Jeri and himself." "Why did that Jeri also go bonkers at the end?" "There was no virus found in it, you know." "Are you saying that the Jeri saved him?" "Jeri's a robot without a ghost!" "When I was little, I couldn't manipulate my cybernetic body well;" "I once cried because I crushed my favourite doll." "And now you have more control of yourself and your abilities than almost anyone else in the world." "Welcome back." "You're watching a classic movie again?" "In the end, good movies are always about the 20th century." ""Have you gone mad?"" ""No..." "I am sane."" ""No, you're right, I have gone insane."" ""I don't want to love you anymore."" "What do you think you're doing?" "!" "It's almost the end, too." ""Have you gone mad?"" ""No..." "I am sane."" ""No, you're right, I have gone insane."" ""I don't want to love you anymore."" "So this is the basis..." ""Sadness is meaningless."" ""If it's a choice between sadness and oblivion, I'll take oblivion."" ""Do you believe in the existence of a soul?"" ""I'll believe just in kindness."" ""Have you gone mad?"" ""No..." "I am sane."" ""No, you're right, I have gone insane."" ""I don't want to love you anymore."" "The last words that Jeri spoke are missing..." "Hey, this movie had some lines around this part, didn't it?" "No, there aren't; this is the full version."
