"A boomer is an artificial human, developed by the Genom Corporation." "After the devastation of the great earthquake," "Tokyo, which had lost all resemblance to a major metropolis, was reborn as Genom City, thanks to the boomers." "However, at the same time, it also brought about runaway accidents and violent crimes by mutated boomers." "The organization created to deal with these crimes is called the Advanced Police, the AD Police." "Sequence N outbreak!" "AD Police, move out!" "Ashita wa weekend" "Konya mo kimi no maryoku ni sasoware tobikomu Night Tripper" "Kono ai ni yousha naku muchi o utsu mekurame no ecstasy" "Zunoo mushibamu amai izanai" "Kimi wa tenshi ka soretomo akuma ka?" "Kikai jikake no garasu no ningyo" "Daitemo sugu ni kieuseru" "Tokei jikake no yuganda kukan" "Suteki de futeki na kimi wa dare?" "Ashita wa weekend" "Oh, welcome." "You shouldn't be surprised to see customers." "I'm sorry, it's just that with the rain, I didn't think I'd get any customers." "So, you smoke cigars?" "Yes, well..." "They say you can extinguish them and still smoke them over and over." "Yes, that's right." "Do you like cigars?" "I hate them." "Welcome." "I'm absolutely soaking wet!" "The usual, on the rocks." "Yes, coming up." "Hello, this is Satomi Yuki." "Hi." "It's me." "I'm not able to come to the phone right now, but if you want to leave a message, wait for the beep." "It's me." "There's something we need to talk about." "Are you sure?" "He's your only grandfather, right?" "You think it's better to have five or ten grandfathers?" "Young people nowadays have no sympathy for their elders." "He calls me up, saying you didn't come to the meeting place, and so I went to pick him up." "You should've left him there." "How could I?" "He's really pretty old." "I was left sixteen years ago." "He said that, twenty-five years ago, he and your mother had a huge fight and that they cut all ties." "After that, your grandfather blamed himself a lot." "Even after he came to regret the fight, he couldn't find your mom." "Hey Master, what about your grandfather?" "Is he doing okay?" "My grandfather?" "Yeah, yours." "He died a long time ago." "I see." "Listen to me when I'm talking to you!" "He was crying, saying that he didn't even know he had a grandson." "If he had known, he wouldn't have hurt your mother so badly." "You still won't see him?" "I won't!" "Yeah, but..." "Shoot!" "What's wrong?" "Those footsteps!" "It's Mary." "I borrowed some money from her." "Welcome." "Such horrible weather." "I knew you'd be here." "The second attack?" "What?" "Did you say something?" "No, nothing." "What will you have?" "The usual." "A Manhattan, coming up." "Your grandfather is waiting at the station." "Who cares?" "I heard that, during the Great Tokyo Earthquake, your mom and your grandfather got separated." "Why won't you see him?" "Obviously, because I don't want to." "Why?" "I don't want to talk about it." "It was a wrong number." "Well, maybe I'll go put some things away." "Ouch!" "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine, I'm fine." "Can I help you put things away?" "No, I'm fine." "I can't have my customers doing things like that." "I'm fine." "Now then... ouch!" "Really, let me help you." "No, I'm fine, really." "What do you want to talk about?" "The other day, I saw you in an unexpected place." "Where?" "At Genom Headquarters." "I saw you using an ID card to get into a secure area." "And?" "And, well..." "Just because I was at Genom headquarters, it's not my problem what you thought of it." "Right?" "That's true." "Okay then, why were you at Genom Headquarters?" "I did some checking, and even though the hospital where you work is 100% owned by Genom, they are pretending they have nothing to do with it." "Satomi, just who are you?" "I am who I am." "I swear, both you and Hans, just mind your own business." "Oh, speaking of Hans..." "What's up, all of a sudden?" "I just remembered something." "The other day, after the big operation, I drove him home." "You mean the Kansas operation?" "Yeah, that's it." "See, that was a long one, right?" "And after four or five days, you get a lot of mail, right?" "Sure, the Spring employment papers and the real estate ads." "You see?" "But he didn't have a single thing in his mailbox." "Don't you think it's strange?" "That's not weird!" "If that's the case, then why didn't you say something earlier?" "But you've been suspicious of me from the start." "Well, I'm sorry." "The other day, I found out that there are such things as biologically fused boomers." "Since then, I've been very uneasy." "Worried that maybe my memories are being used by some boomer." "Hans, is that what you've been worrying about?" "You should have listened to the medical seminar I gave at Genom." "The theme was "Technostress and Psychosomatic lllness"." "I don't think I felt like it at the time." "And then, even still, even still, even if I am a Genom employee, when I am with you, I am just me." "I see." "Me too." "Satomi..." "Thank you." "Hey, are you really not going to see him?" "Hey, Master, you're always shining that glass." "Why is that?" "Oh, it's just some silly memory." "Kenji, you won't see him?" "Hey!" "Shut up already!" "There are times when blood is even thinner than water." "You must have some memories like that, right, Mary?" "My grandfather, he's in the hospital." "He's been there for four years." "He's senile, and he doesn't even know his own children." "He's always saying crazy things." "But even so, I want him to live." "It's not like you hate him, right?" "Right." "Well, then, I need to go get some perfume." "The store closes early." "No one asked for any details." "That's right." "At any rate, why don't you see him before he goes senile?" "Sometimes it's better for both sides if you wait until senility sets in." "I swear, you are really stubborn." "You finished on the phone?" "Yeah." "Well, you know your preaching won't hold any water with me, now that you've gone off and hid like an idiot." "It doesn't matter if it doesn't hold water, all that matters is convincing you." "I'll tell you the same thing I told Mary." "Blood is thinner than water." "You must have some memories like that, right?" "Nope." "Well, I don't really have any memories at all." "I told you, didn't I?" "I was really badly injured when I was a normal cop in Germany." "Forever and ever, I'll have this piece of shrapnel in here." "They can't take it out?" "It's in a delicate place and they can't operate." "Thanks to it, my memories just won't come back." "Childhood memories, my parents' faces." "Just like some kaleidoscope, they all change and there's nothing to grab onto." "Maybe that's better." "Everyone has memories that they want to forget." "Even if you want to forget them, I envy you your memories." "If these are good enough, I'd be happy to give you all you want." "A man suffering because he has no memories, and a man suffering because he has too many memories?" "Good partners?" "Good partners." "Come to think of it..." "This is the first time we've talked about this." "Yes, it's the first time." "Not again!" "Did you forget something?" "No, it's Karen!" "I don't want to see her!" "Earlier, in the locker room, I broke her perfume bottle!" "Karen wears perfume?" "That's just it!" "And so I wondered what kind she wears, but the bottle slipped." "And broke, right?" "Yeah, but I didn't mean to break it." "What should I do?" "Can I hide somewhere?" "If you don't mind a cramped space." "Thank you, Master!" "I owe you big time!" "Oh, and take this!" "Smirnoff, straight up." "Is there something you'd like to say to me?" "I just stopped here for a second." "Your mother, when she gave birth to you, she died before she could tell your grandfather, didn't she?" "So now you know what kind of man my grandfather is." "That old man, is he still smoking like this?" "So, was he bawling his eyes out, saying that he'd never even seen his grandson's face?" "What a crock!" "I saw him dozens of times before my mom died." "That old man, he just can't believe that his beloved daughter is dead." "Holding onto me is his way of pretending it never happened." "But that's..." "That's the kind of man he is." "Get your hands up!" "Give me... your money?" "I think I have the wrong store." "Oh god... please excuse me!" "What was that about?" "Well, he had the wrong store." "He said so himself." "Mary!" "Hans, you too!" "Seems like you've all ganged up on me." "Is not seeing him that much of a sin?" "Well..." "Yes, Sasaki here." "Kenji?" "You've got to do something about your grandfather." "My police station is not some hotel for drunks!" "I guess Sarge knows people the best." "What?" "No, nothing." "But still, what can I do?" "This is an order!" "Come take care of your grandfather!" "If you don't, I'll have him taken away under the Seniors' Care Act!" "I don't remember that law." "I just made it up!" "Got it?" "You going?" "I don't have a choice." "I don't know what I'll say to him." "You should tell him how you really feel." "A friend of mine, all of a sudden one day, his wife left him." "I wondered why she was unhappy." "I guess he didn't know why either." "So, he ended up hating her." "That's normal, of course." "He just had no idea why she had left him." "So he drank and drank more, he got really desperate." "Then, just when he had settled down and had started to forget her, yes, and on a rainy night just like this," "she called him out of the blue, saying she wanted to see him." "Of course, he didn't go." "How could he?" "And just after that, he heard that she had died." "When he heard that, he went to her apartment." "It was a tiny room with nothing in it." "In a dusty drawer, there was a single glass." "It shined and sparkled in the light." "She must have polished it every day." "I wonder what she was thought, as she polished it every day?" "I wonder?" "But he said he should have gone to see her that night." "Even if he just saw her to tell her of his hatred." "That he couldn't forget her." "Then, maybe, she would have felt better too." "Even if I polish it, it doesn't sparkle like that one." "Mine just looks shiny." "Go see him." "You should tell him how you really feel." "That man, that was really you, right?" "No, it was just a friend." "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be blabbering on like this." "No, it's okay." "Do you want another?" "No, no thanks." "Where are you going?" "To the station." "We did it!" "Really, I'm sorry." "I'll pay you back, I swear!" "It's okay, Mary, don't worry about it!" "Really?" "You mean you're not angry with me?" "What am I?" "Kurayami no naka demo hikari wa aru hazu to" "Soo kimi wa oshiete kureta ne" "Furikaeru to tool kako no yoo ni" "Sugoshita hibi kiekaketeiku" "Taisetsu na koto wakaranai mama" "Saki mo miezu ni tachidomatta mama" "Kagami no naka no kage ga itsuwari no maboroshi" "Te ni dekinai shiroi akashi da ne" "Nani ga okitemo kimi o hanashi wa shinai kara" "Owari no nai tabi ni mukaoo" "In a battle with some defective boomers, Hans is hurt really badly!" "Mary's so worried, this little heart of mine is about to explode." "But that partner of his, Kenji, he hasn't even gone to see him in the hospital, and it seems he's been doing some investigating about Hans." "He is just so cold and unfeeling!" "But, right now, no one understands just what Kenji is feeling." "Next AD Police: "Conviction"" "Just how much worse can things get?"
