"Wait, Miss!" "Miss!" "Please pay!" " Got none." "You can't say that!" "Bye-bye!" "Hey!" "Thief!" "I'm sorry, I'm late." "Here's Mom." "She's got you diapers." "You've got to make sure you carry change of diapers when you go out." "I'm sorry." "You must have some secret." "Hang in there." "I hope you'll have a real baby soon." "Secret... it's an ancient concept." "Let's go, Murata-kun." "I'd love to have a real baby." "Episode #6:" "The Bond between a Heaven-bound Soul and a Man" "Looks like you shouldn't have gotten so deeply involved." "Did you do this, Toguchi?" "I'm just a subcontractor, working for Gakuso." "I made it look like something else for your sake." "Wife kills son who refuses to go to school, then kills herself-something like that." "People will be sympathetic to a man who's lost his wife and son." "Thanks for your concern and trouble." "But let me set the record straight." "It was my mistress and her son that you killed." "Hello?" "Sasayama-san?" "Listen..." "Your wife Mamiko-san she was in a car accident." "The hospital just called us." "Sir?" "Your wife is one step before so-called brain death." "I did the best I could do as a medical doctor." "Please turn it off." "What?" "The life support system, is it?" "You can turn it off." "But it's not like there's no hope for recovery." "It's alright." "I want it to end." "What are you doing?" "A lawyer brought that here yesterday." "He said you were designated as the retriever of her ashes in her will." "Did they execute my sister Yoko's sentence?" "The lawyer was upset that the time between when the sentence was given and its execution was unusually short." "You know she asked me to find you, and kill you." "That's what she told me." "Though I'm not totally sure that it's you." "I wish I had met her." "She knew about how I was born, right?" "Is that why you' re arranging flowers for her?" "To represent her heaven-bound soul." "Thanks." "Then can you make me three more?" "My wife, my mistress and her child have been killed." "Hey, Sasayama-san..." "What do you think are the colors of souls?" "No idea." "You' re a kind guy." "What's that about, out of the blue?" "People usually pretend to be sympathetic and ask you many questions in times like this." "Is that so?" "I guess I lack that intangible something ordinary people have." "You' re better off without it." "But you know, when you lack that intangible something, your heart tends to get cold as if you've swallowed a pearl." "You' re a poet, aren't you?" "You know how I always talk about I don't have friends?" "Well, I know I'm not the most likable character around." "But when I joined the police force and stumbled upon the existence of Gakuso I decided not to form relationships with others." "I shouldn't open my heart to others." "Doing so would get them tangled up in my affairs." "I knew that and yet instead of making friends, I ended up having two wives." "You know I don't look like it, but I like being fussed over." "I'm stupid." "Hey, Kazuhiko Amamiya you want to know too, don't you?" "Know what?" "The truth." "I guess." "Oh, Sasayama-san." "What happened?" "Were you fired from the investigation HQ?" "No, I wasn't." "Well the investigation HQ is gone." "They say that there was never such case as the barcode serial murder." "That there never was any investigation HQ and this room has always been a lounge." "Good morning." "I don't recognize anybody." "Good morning." "It seems everyone in the building was replaced." "Good morning." "Hey!" "But everyone seems to know me." "I don't know, have I gone mad?" " Idiot." "It's a cover up." "They want to make it look like nothing happened." "Cover up?" "What painful trouble they took!" "They persuaded all the staff who were here 'til yesterday to be transferred." "Those guys were all careerists." "This looks too sophisticated for a drill, doesn't it?" "How come I wasn't transferred?" "No matter how hard they try to cover it up, information will leak." "When that happens, if a fanatic of young pretty girls tells the world it's a national conspiracy what would the world think?" "What would they think?" "They'll think a cop who's a fanatic is imagining things." "They know what they' re doing, with your social image." "They can't they' re cruel!" "Was there really a case or the investigation HQ?" "I wonder if it wasn't just my imagination?" "Idiot!" "Fanatics these days are such wimps!" "Influenced by others so easily and they can't trusting themselves." "Fanatics in my days used to believe only in what they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears, and stuck to their paths." "Though it was simply anime and cartoons back then." "No matter what others say, the stuff in there that you made clearly proves that there was a case!" "Trust!" "In what your own eyes, ears and hands felt, a little bit!" "Yes." "Stop crying." "You' re a man, aren't you?" "I'm sorry." "Stop crying." "Stop crying!" "Look straight!" "There are only three of us left." "No investigators." "Of course there's no record of investigation." "It means that even if we find Shinji Nishizono or catch Machi-san we wouldn't be able to make a case out of it without the official records." "Are we still committed to seeking the truth?" "That's all I want to know." "I am." "I want to know what it means to be who I am." "If that's the truth of the case, I want to find that out." "Me, too, in the pride as a police officer and as a fanatic." "Alright!" "Then, let's review the history to date." "Truth #1..." "With the case of serial murder of pregnant women that took place 20 years ago the babies taken out of the victims' bodies were the second generation like you." "They were barcode carriers Yosuke Kobayashi, the other personality of yours and Ueno, Tanabe, Mori' izumi, Murata, Machi, and Kazuhiko Amamiya." "You were the subjects of an experiment conducted by Gakuso, a yet-to-be-identified organization." "They were developing a personality transferring system called P-Net." "Special synapses called the P-Net receptacles that are necessary for receiving programmed personalities were implanted in each of you." "A P-Net carrier can be infected by programmed personalities." "Most likely, some member of state power took interest in this and formed a partnership with Gakuso and offered financial support." "But Gakuso has a different agenda." "To transfer a programmed personality into P-Net carriers and artificially create criminals with multiple personalities." "For what?" "There's probably no reason." "Let's get back on track." "The code name for such programmed personality to be transferred was Shinji Nishizono." "Then 20 years ago, while being transferred, the program Shinji Nishizono ran away." "Nishizono transferred himself into a boy, killed the doctors and set the hospital where the experiments took place on fire." "The boy Nishizono got into was Kazuhiko Amamiya." "Kazuhiko died in the incident but right before he did Nishizono took him along and transferred themselves into Yosuke Kobayashi." "Shinji Nishizono was a creation based on the profiled data of young boy Amamiya coupled with the transferring program that was partly upgraded." "That's why Nishizono couldn't let Amamiya die." "Yosuke Kobayashi ended up carrying 2 personalities, Shinji Nishizono and Kazuhiko Amamiya." "I'm sure Machi had already told you this much." "Yeah." "And the rest she kept a secret." "I found this in her Mac." "These are the DNA of the mothers of the second generation." "And these are your DNA's." "We can match each child with his mother, except one." "Amamiya, we don't know who your mother is, or rather that of your physical body Yosuke Kobayashi." "No matching DNA has been found." "Thanks but I knew that too." "OK, then there's no need to explain more." "Truth #3..." "Part of it is my guess." "The leader who conduced this experiment was a former med student who calls himself Lucy Monostone." "There was another man, a member of an extreme right wing cult, who called himself Lucy." "My guess is that the Lucy's were from the generation that came before Shinji Nishizono in the P-Net project, something of prototypes of programmed personalities." "What led me to this idea is that I noticed many crimes since the 70's had something to do with Lucy, and I kept track of them." "I befriended a Gakuso member Toguchi, and obtained films and videos from his video shop." "This was since before I met you or Machi." "Lucy transferred himself into Machi somewhere down the line." "Machi who was now Lucy revived the P" " Net project as a Gakuso member and carried out the serial killings of pregnant women." "Something like that." "The story began with Lucy Monostone and it created the world." "Impossible Ms. Machi?" "I don't want to believe it, either." "But she took out Chizuko's baby from inside her in front of Amamiya's eyes." "You have a visitor, Mr. Isono." "Oh." "Hey, Murata-kun, the show's over!" "I guess he wouldn't get it." ""The age of your reign" "May it last for thousand and eight thousand folds..."" "Oh, what are you doing here?" "Filming on location, so to speak." "Adding to your collection of corpse footage?" "I won't let you." "Where's Machi?" "How should I know?" "I heard she left the project." "I've got as little idea as you have of her whereabouts." "Is a cop allowed to kill people?" "I've checked everything about you." "You have no family registration." "I'm a Macbeth, so to speak." "I wasn't born from a woman's body." "So if I killed you, no one's legally dead." "Your so-called organization will discard your dead body and cover up the incident as if nothing happened." "It's noisy outside, isn't it?" "Wait for a moment, OK?" "Toguchi!" " I don't think anything of murder." "'Cause my heart is broken." "Murata?" "Murata!" "Kiyoshi Murata was the only witness to the barcode murder case." "Now that you've killed him, I expect you to make up for it." "I've got no left eye." "I took it out myself a long time ago." "What's this?" "I told you I took it out myself." "We'll take our time to get the story out of you." "Murata-kun?" "What?" "Murata!" "Shinji Nishizono, aren't you?" "Bingo." "What?" "My left brain was blown out so I quickly moved into the right half." "It was close." "But this body's not gonna last long, either." "Why did you kill him?" "Why?" "Didn't he kill your family?" "That's exactly why I needed him as a witness." "What can you do against the national power?" "They'll just put out the case like a cigarette butt." "Then I'd rather put their organization out before they do me." "You' re a murderer yourself." "You killed the first lover Yosuke Kobayashi had." "You took the baby out, too." "It was Machi who did it just as with the second Chizuko." "When I got there, that girl was already dead." "But it was you who transferred yourself into barcode carriers and committed serial murder." "It's true they did what they do as a result of borrowing their bodies." "But those were their own desires." "Without me giving a push, they'd have ended up the same way someday anyway." "They were made for that specific purpose." "Hey, I was dying to see you Kazuhiko Amamiya." "Amamiya!" "Don't touch him." "Let him transfer into you and you'll be dead." "He wants to take you along to hell." "That's a mean thing to say." "I have no intention of committing double suicide with him." "Hey, Miwa, you got the little bag Murata asked you to keep?" "Bring that over." "Give what's inside to Amamiya-kun." "Don't take it!" "It's something like a vaccine that cancels out the P-Net antibody implanted in your body." "They wasted no time in developing this damn thing." "Miwa-chan, throw that thing out." "Throw it out!" "Hey you, Kazuhiko Amamiya." "I don't want you to act friendly with me." "I'm not suggesting we should go back to what we used to be before." "I'm just asking if you don't wanna settle the accounts first hand with the folks who created us." "We two are Abel and Cain." "We made God angry, sending the world on the road to destruction." "Amamiya-kun!" "Amamiya-kun!" "Amamiya-kun." "I'm sorry." "I couldn't stop Shinji Nishizono from acting up." "I... think I'm dying." "Transfer yourself into me." "You should be able to do it." "No, I can't leave Shinji behind." "'Cause he's just like my other half." "Then, you can both come inside my body." "Don't, Amamiya!" "Leave him alone." "Let him die in Murata's body." "Then you can release yourself from Shinji Nishizono." "Forgive me, Sasayama-san." "I can't leave him behind!" "No, don't believe what he says." "Because!" "He was a friend of mine no matter how rotten he is." "You... are you Yosuke?" "Are you Yosuke Kobayashi?" "I don't know!" "But the three of us make one whole self." "I hear the melody of celebration." "Lucy Monostone, you are the ruler of the great kingdom." "Stupid!" "Stupid!" "Stupid..." "Stupid..." "Stupid!" "I'm inside amethyst of my life right now." "You gullible fool!" "Alright already." "Sasayama-san?" "I don't care who you are." "I'll stick with you 'til the end." "Got it?" "Thank you, Sasayama-san." "You?" "I'm sorry, Sasayama-san." "Miwa-chan, sorry to bother you, but will you handcuff him to the handrail over there?" "What are you doing?" "You may not believe me, but I want you to live no matter what happens." "Don't act so heroic, Kazuhiko Amamiya!" "That's how all three of us feel, Sasayama-san." "'Cause you' re the only friend we have." "What's wrong with you?" "Where did you get the handcuffs from?" "'Cause I'm a police detective." "Oh I see." "I wish you were a private detective!" "Sasayama-san, thank you for everything." "Wait, I'm coming, too." "Don't go!" "Don't leave me behind Kazuhiko Amamiya Yosuke Kobayashi Nishizono..." "Shinji Nishizono!" "It's done." "OK, thanks." "What a nice day!" "Here you are." "Thanks, everybody." "See you!" "What, my car!" "Hey, don't take away my car!" "Hey, you!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "You!" "The era of Showa's over without any major incident happening." "Yeah." "The word Heisei for the new era sounds weird, doesn't it?" "Yeah." "Oh, this song is very popular now." "I hear some personality that transferred into Miwa-chan spread it all over the net." "A record company made it into a CD without her permission, and it became a massive hit." "I hear 7 million copies sold." "All of Japan is trying to find out where Lolita C is." "Yeah." "My goodness, you've complete lost your edge." "By the way, I wonder who programmed the personality that transferred into Miwa-chan?" "I hear it's a prototype from way before Lucy or Shinji Nishizono." "Some early test program made by Gakuso was left abandoned on the net." "Some fanatic found it changed it around a little, gave her a girl's personality and made her into his little sister." "I bet you have friends like that, too." "She was a better creation than Lucy or Nishizono, though." "Seems like she doesn't require P-Net receptacles to transfer herself into someone." "It means that the fanatics are ahead of Gakuso." "Is that true?" "It is-I heard it from Miwa-chan herself." "What?" "When did that happen?" "Here." "I exchange e-mails with Miwa-chan." "What's that?" "Oh Manabe, the traffic signal!" "Look!" "You' re a cop and you don't wear a seat belt!" "You don't have a license, do you?" " Shut up!" "Anyway, you never told me you were e-mail friends with Miwa-chan!" "'Cause you never asked me, you only asked about Amamiya." "You' re being illogical!" "You know how I was left behind handcuffed." "Miwa-chan took pity on me and sends me e-mails from time to time, saying she'll be a friend of mine." "It's quite nice to have a gal e-mail pal." "So what happened to Amamiya-san?" "Why would she tell me?" "Seems like he's going after Machi." "Oh mail from Miwa-chan." "You know, it's something of an eyesore." "Manabe, drive me to Gumma." "What, all of a sudden?" "Miwa-chan wants to see me." "It's not a dating club, you know." "That's an order!" "Wait, I'll come with you." "No you can't." "If I don't come back in two hours, go down the mountain and go to Sasayama-san." "Don't worry, I promise to be back." "Be good, and I'll give you what you always wanted." "Promise?" "Yeah, promise." "Alright!" "I can hear you." "We' re committing a crime." "I don't care." "We won't get away with simply being suspended." "Listen, Manabe, a social status is for throwing right out the window in times like this." "It's for the sake of my best friend and my girl." "I've got to chance it." "But where is Amamiya-san anyway?" "He's probably heading toward his birthplace." "Birthplace?" "Don't you know what this mountain is about?" "No." "Young people today..." "Listen Manabe 27 years ago from now an extreme right wing group gathered on this mountain and lynched their own members." "After the ones who remained were arrested, 13 dead bodies were found." "And-this is a top police secret but, there was the 14th body that was found." "It was a woman, and she was pregnant." "You don't say..." "That's right." "Her belly was ripped open and the baby had been taken out." "And, the baby's body was never found." "You mean that was Yosuke Kobayashi, I suspect." "There's nothing to prove it now." "The leader of the cult was called Lucy." "Though he was a man." "Doctor, please see Mr. Isono!" "14: 15, January 17th, the 2nd year of Heisei..." "Exactly one year after the new era began." "He was a strange old man, wasn't he?" "Wearing women's clothes." "He'd get upset if we didn't call him Lucy." "Your dad's here." "Is it Yosuke-kun in your body now?" "Or is it Amamiya-kun or Shinji Nishizono?" "You don't address Nishizono in a friendly term." "I don't like him much." "I suppose he's somewhat of a difficult character." "He is." "Hey..." "It's not too late." "Do you wanna join me?" "In this place 27 years ago with Tsuneo Isono a." "K. A. Lucy of the first generation as its father and his female soldier as its mother, a child came into the world." "The baby taken out of the mother's body was the holy child, Yosuke Kobayashi." "A chosen child, I see." "And a child who carries your blood with the mother also being a second generation that's what this baby is." "You' re the pure breed of Lucy's children." "They' re the chosen children with a stamp of authenticity, so to speak." "Children who will never be affected by deadly illnesses, whose souls are immortal, so to say." "It's a boy." "So Chizuko was a second generation, too?" "Yeah." "She was a comrade of mine." "Remember she said she was sorry?" "I'm sorry." "Listen, Amamiya-kun..." "Why don't you join me and turn the world around?" "The world?" "That's right." "The world, Gakuso, P-Net, the projects-doesn't matter what." "Oh, so it doesn't matter." "I feel as if I could achieve any goal together with you." "Goodbye, Machi." "I see so Amamiya-kun doesn't like me after all." "You can't run, Machi." "Sasayama-san, please do it." "OK, got it!" "Manabe, do it!" "Are you... really sure?" "Do it." "You have my permission." "It's done." "We did it." "We did it, Amamiya." "We did it." "Can you hear me?" "Amamiya, we did it." "We did it, Amamiya." "You can't get through to him." "We've destroyed the relay point for telephone lines." "Idiot!" "You don't understand anything." "I'm talking to his soul." "We don't need a telephone line." "Our hearts are connected, you and him." "That's right, he's your friend, your only friend." "You got it." "Hi!" "Here, what you've always wanted." "It's a baby." "Can I really have it?" "Yeah." "Adorable." "Let's go." "Yeah." "What's that?" "A costume play?" "Hello, welcome, hello exposing the dark secret of the national power." "Please take a look." "Please take a look, it's 8800-yen." "Please take a close look." "Please take a look." "What the heck are these?" "They' re monsters." "How do you like it?" "Please don't run away." "Take a look..." "Hello, welcome, hello..." "You fool, they don't sell at all!" " You' re the one who said they'd sell!" "You know I've ordered a Chinese factory to manufacture 100 complete sets with the dolls and all." "What am I going to do with them?" "What are you rambling on about?" "You've got to sell, sell with all your might." "For the pride of all fanatics, sell!" "You' re being unreasonable." "You know what this all means, don't you?" "They destroyed the records about everything from Machi's dead body to the telephone tower being blown up, pretending nothing ever happened." "And we' re still doing cops." "This is the only evidence we've got." "You understand?" "This is the only evidence that testifies to the truth." "That these incidents happened, that Amamiya existed, all of it." "Yes!" "It's not over yet." "'Cause nothing's yet to begin." "Translated by Ann Jiitsu" "Subtitled and Mastered by Cannibal King"
