Much as the Lord's love is limitless,
His anger also has no end,
My brothers, strike with His wrath upon the world's evils,
Forgive me,
Professor,,,
There's no escape,
We've lost contact with the security team, That's a bad sign,
I'm counting on you, Kogami,
Copy that,
I've got to pull out! Get in there, Kogami!
You killed her?
She was waiting for me,
You screwed up, Kai,
I'm sorry, sir,
No other way, We'll have to use Plan B,
Reinforcements incoming,
Everyone needs to withdraw, I can buy you some time,
"Here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words
spoken about you earlier,"
"May they help you fight well in the Lord's battles,"
Kogami? What's the situation?
Sorry, They got us,
"As international society collapsed under global wars, Japan was the only country to enjoy peace, In order to maintain stability,
the Japanese government chose to evaluate and quantify the mental state of its citizens, It was dubbed the PSYCHO-PASS by the people, Performing this oversigh: the Sibyl System,"
"Ministry of Welfare Public Safety Bureau General Inspector: Akane Tsunemori"
It's said that under the Sibyl System, legal systems are unnecessary,
But is that really the truth?
What exactly is it that you're worried about here?
A dismissal of law means a refutation of international law,
When Japan has to face the world—
We've already had success in SEAUn,
The Sibyl System has been acknowledged as the new standard for global order,
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary: Muneo Isoya"
And when that truly becomes the case, regardless of the borders,
legal systems will be unnecessary,
Shouldn't you be a part of this,
Mr, Shindo?
It's fine,
Have you noticed how her Hue is clearer than yours?
Shouldn't we hear what the Ministry of Justice has to say?
Er, well,,,
Complete repeal of the legal system and the dissolution of the Ministry of Justice,,,
It all sounds a little,,, excessive,
The entire concept of a "nation of laws"
became outdated the second Sibyl came online!
I don't think that decision should be made in a closed room in the Nona Tower,
It should include the will of the people,
The people you're talking about have already accepted the system,
Are you really that critical of the Ministry of Welfare?
No, I'm not,
What I'm critical of is Japan's predatory economy
that has been exploiting its neighbors in order to enrich itself,
"The package has been confirmed dead, Public Safety is on the scene,"
You're being ridiculous!
Our weapons distribution programs have contributed to global stability!
Now, now, everyone, let's breathe for a minute,
This is the kind of chaos that used to be prevalent pre-Sibyl,
My takeaway is that "Japan first" thinking is becoming too risky,
On that, I happen to agree with Ms, Tsunemori,
as I imagine the rest of you do,
And the fact is, this meeting was supposed to have
a guest who could clarify Japan's relationship with the rest of the world,
I don't see any guest,
Right, She didn't make it in time,
Excuse me,
The coast guard just called about a foreign cargo ship, the Grootslang,
Multiple fatalities aboard, with no survivors,
Signs of a shootout,
Guns?
Get back here quick, This is no time to be playing politician,
Right, Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs know,
I'll be in touch,
I'll head there now,
I adjourned the meeting,
I'm sorry, sir,
Is it an urgent case?
Yes, Some trouble on a foreign ship,
Did it happen to be the Grootslang?
How did you know that?
The guest scheduled for our meeting was aboard that ship,
Professor Milcia Stronskaya,
She's a global authority on behavioral economics and statistics,
Recently, she'd completed the core model for a certain simulation,
A simulation?
Her report about it is commonly known as the Stronskaya Papers,
It can predict the effects Sibyl would have on the rest of the world,
SEAUn ended up confirming its accuracy,
I understand how you feel,
How did you meet the professor?
It was back when I was in the Immigration Bureau,
I wish I could've introduced you,
I heard that you personally arranged for immigration to open again, Mr, Shindo,
You also pled the case for the legal system, to that end,
It was a lot of work,
There were people who seriously suggested
the best way to handle refugees was to kill them all,
Do you know why open borders and a legal system go hand in hand?
Because most immigrants have lived through conflict,
That makes them a tough prospect for Sybil,,,
and unless we follow international law, we can't open up the country,
Exactly,
As the world puts itself back together, Japan falls behind,
How did you get people to accept immigration?
Well, unlike you, I was careful not to piss everyone off,
Right,,,
You've been an Inspector for too long,
You need to aim higher,
I happen to have high hopes for you, Ms, Tsunemori,
For me?
I mean, how could I not?
Your Hue is still crystal clear even though you're critical of the Sibyl System,
I admit that the system has value,
but I believe in something bigger,
I think that's wonderful,
This is Japan, and that means it's the Public Safety Bureau's jurisdiction!
So get your ass out of here, Foreign Affairs!
Please, I just want to keep things amicable,
Shut up! Don't care!
Ms, Frederica?
It's good to see you again,
Hello there,
I'm Director Yabuki with the MOFA's Overseas Coordination Bureau,
I can't get into the details,
but this ship was part of a critical matter for our Ministry,
We'd like to handle this investigation,
The Overseas Coordination Bureau,,,
I'm at the scene, Everyone's here,
Chief Kasei?!
Inspector, Let the MOFA handle the crime scene,
Have your people step back,
I'll give you the details back at the office,
Did you find it?
Yeah, We're having trouble with the hand-off, though,
It's a bad idea to go too deep,,,
without a lifeline,
We're short on time,
Once the ball's rolling, we can't stop,
So we're just going to shut up and back off?
Orders from the chief,
You should've never brought that bigwig with you!
A guest of Director Shindo's was on that ship,
A woman named Professor Stronskaya,
There were multiple bodies aboard that appeared to be combatants,
They were in such bad shape, it was hard to tell much else,
There was one woman among them, however,
That has to be this professor,
Confirming her identity is going to take a while, though,,,
Why?
She was decapitated after being killed, Head's still missing,
Her head?
I've copied the data off the computer in the professor's room,
It's being analyzed,
Inspector,
I found this,
Got a hit on its registration,
This gun belongs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Overseas Coordination Bureau,
Foreign Affairs was guarding the professor,,,
And they assigned armed agents without telling us,
Well, great job!
Hanashiro and this Yabuki guy must think they're slick,
This whole thing stinks bad, Like garbage,
Hey,,,
I'd be careful about what you say,
He's got a very fancy hearing aid,
You knew the professor was dead, didn't you?
Yeah, Yabuki told me,
You invited the professor secretly, with the help of Foreign Affairs,,,
But why?
Wouldn't be much of a secret if I told you,
Inspector,
The data analysis is complete,
The professor sent a single message the day of the attack,
To someone in Japan?
Yeah,
Professor Jouji Saiga,
You don't often call out of the blue,
There's something I want to ask you, Professor,
Really? What's up?
It's been a while, Jouji,
Why are you with her?
Come on, show a little respect,
It's been a while, sir,
How's isolation treating you?
It's not so bad,
What can I help you with?
It's about Professor Stronskaya,
I see,,, That's a real loss,
Mind if we discuss it in person?
Hang on,
I'd rather discuss it with Inspector Tsunemori alone,
Have it your way,
How did you know the professor?
Shindo introduced us,,,
I contributed to her research once
by offering her some of my own analysis of domestic data,
Every time we saw each other, we'd get into huge debates,
Come to think of it, we'd fight online, too,
You were the last person she ever contacted,
She wanted to hand over the results of her research,
The Stronskaya Papers?
Yeah, that's it,
And you received them?
Would've made things a lot simpler if I had,
What she gave me,,,
was this number,
They're apparently inside a PO box in Dejima,
And I can't retrieve them unless I go in person,
Would you mind going there with me?
Of course not,
I heard you're moving up in the world,
How's it feel?
To be honest, I feel like my head's about to explode,
People seek out comfort subconsciously
and then find themselves unable to move beyond it,
I'm a good example of that,
I don't think so, Professor,
I'm curious, How is Shindo involved in all this?
He was the one who invited the professor to Japan,
Is there something bothering you?
He was my upperclassman at university,
He arranged for me to be a consultant at the Public Safety Bureau,
It always felt like he was using me,
You think he might be using me, too?
He might be planning to have you take a risk for him,
I just want to confirm whether the Papers are there or not,
But it could end up exposing what the Foreign Ministry, the Japanese government,
and even what Sibyl has been up to,
What do you mean?
The Papers will reveal what our country has been doing domestically and abroad,
It's dangerous news,
Which is why I only wanted to talk to you about it,
I've spoken with the Overseas Coordination Bureau,
Public Safety will work with the Suppressing Action Department on this case,
We will have command authority, however,
As long as we're sharing information, that's fine,
I take it you have an idea who's behind the attack?
We do,
The Foreign Ministry's Overseas Investigation Division's Field Survey Team,
Known as the Peacebreakers, for short,
A covert team running subversive ops overseas for the Foreign Ministry's hawks,
Five years ago, the unit was dissolved,
But not a single member returned to Japan,,,
They went missing and are believed to still be active to this day,
So, your own dogs bit you, basically?
Since they're in Japan now, this is our best chance to bring them down,
The SAD has been recruiting for this,
Recruiting?
If a hunting dog breaks its chain,
it can never return to Public Safety,
But in a pack of bloodthirsty wolves,,,
he'd fit right in,
Make good use of him,
You son of a bitch,,,
I told you to never show your face here again!
Can't we take a case-by-case approach here, Gino?
Screw you!
Please, calm down!
We're in the office,
I heard that ruckus!
What are you people—
Shinya Kogami?
It's been a while, Inspector,
I take it introductions won't be necessary,
What do we know about their leader?
The commander's named Tonami and—
I wasn't asking you!
Okay, me then,
Tsugumasa Tonami,
After his suitability exam, he joined the Defense Forces at the age of 18,
He was a member of the Naval Special Forces for a long time,
Nothing out of the ordinary, Just a serious soldier,
He was then recommended to the Peacebreakers by a commanding officer,
That's where the trail ends,
Nothing at all after that?
Yes, that's right,
All we have are his operation records,
It's insane,
Let me work up a profile for him,
It's my way of avenging the professor,
So, this is Dejima, the Foreign Ministry's special administrative sector,
It's mostly housing for foreigners who haven't passed the immigration exam,
Which makes it a terrible match with Public Safety,
While you're here, you'll be operating with limited authority,
But Dominator usage has already been approved,
That's a big help,
What's your first impression, Professor?
He's a completely different person after he went missing,
Did you run into him?
No,
Did you see anything interesting?
It could help with his ideology, background, maybe his group's characteristics,
I don't know if it'll help or not,
but during the battle, I heard something,
I'm pretty sure it was from the New Testament,
What was it?
"Here are my instructions for you,
based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier,"
"May they help you fight well in the Lord’s battles,"
That's the Epistle to Timothy,
Right,
Timothy 1:18, Does that help?
Not sure, Tonami wasn't a Christian, was he?
Record doesn't say,
You familiar with Saint Paul?
He persecuted Jesus at first,
but after witnessing a miracle, he converted,
Tonami might see himself in a similar role,
With your hermit nature, you strike me as more of a John,
Maybe I should pop over to Patmos and write about a revelation,
Seriously, though,,,
I can't believe you're working with the Public Safety Bureau,
I,,,
I'm working with Akane Tsunemori,
Kogami,
Be careful about what you choose for yourself,
What brought that on?
Tonami wasn't a psychotic killer at first, either,
People who are used as tools for violence can meet tragic ends,
You think I'll end up like that?
That depends on you,
I'm just saying, don't move into the wrong house,
The girl's not a saint or a Buddha,
Screw around too much, and you'll end up getting enforced,
I didn't think I was screwing around,
I'm trying to do the responsible thing,
That might not satisfy everyone else,
I'm just saying, apologize while you can,
That's wisdom from an old-timer,
Mr, Kogami,
Hey,
What exactly is the Suppressing Action Department?
Boots on the ground for the Foreign Ministry that investigate—
I know about that part,
Right,
Did they let you back into Japan just to fight violence with violence?
The Foreign Ministry wanted their own Enforcers,
So, I got an invite,
Would you have come back if I invited you?
Well,,, hard to say,
Granted, with my position and authority, I couldn't in the first place,
But Director Yabuki,,,
Did he have anything to say about the crime you committed?
It never came up, He probably doesn't care,
He doesn't care about much, other than the Peacebreakers,
Are you going to keep working with Foreign Affairs?
I'm doing what needs to be done,
If you try to break the law again, I will stop you this time,
Do what you think is right,
I don't regret anything I've done,
I was hoping he'd apologize,,,
Don't let Kogami know, We'll be in trouble if Saiga catches on,
I would think he'd understand,,,
Better to minimize risk,
Understood,
Don't forget idealism isn't enough to change things,
We need the power to enact justice, no matter what infamy it brings,
Just couldn't do it, could you?
I'm not sure what you mean,
The subject is on the scene,
Good, Have everyone ready for combat,
We'll be on standby down here,
Please,
Strange how there's no one around,,,
Lunar New Year is coming up, That's likely why,
No, It's not,
You evacuated the civilians, didn't you?
Inspector,
I'm seeing additional IFF codes for more SAD agents,
Something's going on,
We're bait, aren't we?
I'm sorry,
But we will guarantee your safety, Professor,
I expected as much,
How could you not tell us?
Don't get too mad,
We need to recover the Papers before anything else,
You'd lie to the professor on Director Yabuki's orders?
A mirror?
It's a warning,
The Papers aren't here,
Why?
It just proves she was being careful,
I really was just a decoy from the very start,
The Stronskaya Papers aren't here,,,
But I doubt they'd believe us if we told them,
I'll escort you to the evacuation route,
Tsunemori,
Sugo and I will deal with the attackers,
We can at least buy you some time,
You can count on us,
Just be careful,
The commander's clearing the rest of the area,
We've gotta secure the target,
Roger,
Don't—
Crime Coefficient is under 50,
Not a target for enforcement action,
Trigger will be locked,
They shot each other,,,
I can't reach my boss,
Get clear!
We're in danger here, Let's head back for now,
Right,
Inspector!
The Dominators are down, and we're under heavy enemy fire!
Hang in there, Sugo,
I'll be fine, They just nicked me,
It looks like he'll live,
We're headed your way ASAP,
Make sure Mr, Sugo is safe,
Professor!
Professor,,,
Where're the Papers?
I don't know,
Stop!
Hand the Papers over,
Unless you want him—
Well, that was crazy!
It was the best response,
Not yet,,,
You haven't completed your duty yet,
Professor!
Akane Tsunemori,,,
Justice and truth are both multifaceted,
There are things you can't understand unless you're looking from on high,
I know you're capable of that,
The Papers aren't here,
It was a trap,
We've already got Target B, Withdraw,
Copy that,
Go!
Stop right there!
I'll handle him!
You're dead,
"If an entire century were to pass in this moment,
it would not seem strange at all,"
"It's raining,"
"It's mournfully raining, on and on,"
You're pretty good,
But time's up,
Damn it!
What the hell are these guys?
Professor Saiga,,,
There's no sign of Director Yabuki anywhere,
You knew there was a leak all along,
and this was the best you could do?!
I won't make excuses,
Blaming Frederica won't get us anywhere,
We need to figure out why this failed,
What are you doing here, Director Shindo?
My position means I need to help Foreign Affairs clean up this mess,
If it gets really bad, I'll need to go to the JDF for assistance,
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense,,,
It's like you're calling all the shots,
I'm not that important, believe me,
But Yabuki and I,,,
We've been deeply involved with that unit since it was first formed,
We let a pack of animals become feral,
I need to take responsibility for that,
And that's why you used Professor Saiga?
That was just the outcome, No one wanted him to die,
Anger can undercut rational decision-making,,,
I'm not saying you always need to be calm, but now is one of those times,
I brought him into this,,,
He wanted to be involved,
Just focus on doing what you need to,
When this is wrapped up,,, you can cry all you want,
Right,
Roger that,
We'll figure out the enemy's comms and their method of jamming,
If they were using an existing communications system,
I should've been able to identify it by now,,,
One other thing, I'd like a background check,
For who?
Director Shindo, Find out what you can about him,
It's a real shame,
The professor wanted nothing more than for you to be happy,
My mother knew this might happen,,,
If it weren't for my vision, I could've,,,
I promise to make Maiko happy,
I'll make sure to honor Milcia's wishes,
I know you will,
Once her remains get delivered, we'll all lay her to rest,
There's also the matter of Akira,,,
You've heard from my brother?!
Yeah, He might make it in time for the ceremony,
That's wonderful, Kei,
You're going to attend the ceremony, right, Dad?
Of course, I'm too worried about you messing it up not to,
What's that supposed to mean?
Careful now,
Yeah! Thanks!
Come on, help me out,
Arata, take good care of those two,
Trust me, you didn't need to ask,
Do not fear death, my brethren!
We are the Lord's sword and His shield!
We must wield our strength to uphold our duty as mediators!
Our Master, the General, will be joining us soon,
I want you all to engrave His words upon your souls,
Praise be to my soldiers,
Throw down your fear and offer up all that is yours,
Do this, and the promised land will welcome you in time,
Bring true justice and order to the world,
Know that I am always at your side,
We sacrifice our flesh to make your prophecy true!
You set a rat among our number,
You couldn't have ambushed us otherwise,
You can tell us about that and the Papers, or die, Your choice,
You mad dog,,,
You're already doomed!
Don't forget, You're the ones who made me this way,
Kai, you're free to go,
Yes, sir,
Kai, I need you to take over his questioning,
I'm heading north,
To the promised land, where the General is?
Yeah, He just arrived there,
"If an entire century were to pass in this moment,,,"
"'Great Aso' by Tatsuji Miyoshi,,, Yozora Archives"
Tatsuji Miyoshi's "Great Aso"?
The forensics for a knife?
Yeah, The one I brought in,
One sec,,,
The only blood on it belonged to you, Shinya,
Horsehair tassel on the grip,
Look up where the horse is from, please,
Should be in Aso, Kyushu,
You want me to limit the search to there?
That should do it, Please,
It's a shame what happened to the professor,,,
Yeah,
The autopsy on the body Sugo sent in is done,
The man who kept moving, even after being shot,
seems to have had a special implant in the brain,
The body was too badly damaged, so specifics will still take a while,
Hey,,, what do you think about possession?
Where did that come from?
The idea of something else taking over someone's body,
Can you think of a scientific explanation for it?
"Something else"?
What, like an angel or a demon?
Or a god,
Well, let's think,,,
There's one big difference between humans and animals,
in terms of cognitive structure,
Care to take a guess?
I can think of a few,,,
There's empathy, the concept of humor,,,
but based on what we're talking about, I'd say objectivity,
That's the one, Humans have the ability
to think of themselves from an external "god's-eye view,"
There was a neuroscientist
who described it as the divine element of the mind,
Splitting the consciousness between the divine and the animalistic,,,
Julian Jaynes's bicameral mind hypothesis,
He thought if the divine portion was able to function independently,
you'd be able to hear the voice of God,
A mind divided in two and the voice of God, huh?
We've found the enemy in Aso, Kyushu,
Surveillance drones have already confirmed it,
I see you've already asked the JDF for military drones,
The problem here is their Crime Coefficients,
We're assuming the special chips in their brains
let them fabricate a Crime Coefficient score,
Dealing with them is going to require application of traditional criminal law,
I could dispute that,
but instead I'll allow this raid on the grounds of securing illegal weaponry,
Yes, ma'am,
The operation will now begin,
Something's weird here,
Yeah,
A trap?
Just be careful, Gino,
What just happened?
Freeze!
Don't shoot, Gino!
I'm an undercover agent with the Foreign Ministry's Overseas Coordination Bureau!
Tonami's not here,
Put him down first,
Right,
You need to restrain me now,
We'll be in trouble if Tonami catches on,
It's you,,,
Mr, Yabuki, You're gonna be all right,
I want to be there for his statement,
I'll temporarily relieve you of your mandatory oversight as an Enforcer
so you can be in charge of investigating this place,
Got it, I'll let you know if anything happens,
You be careful,
Right,
My name is Akira Vasily Ignatov,
I was working undercover, under orders from Director Yabuki,
He never told me about this,
The only other person who knows is Atsushi Shindo, from the Ministry of Welfare,
He'll vouch for me,
The director?
Mr, Shindo let me know you were coming with a coded message,
Where's Tonami? Does he have the Papers?
He doesn't, because I have them,
You?
There's a chip in my brain for the purposes of top secret operations,
That's where I stored the professor's Papers,
In your own brain?
What's Tonami even after?
He gets the Papers, but then what?
The Papers are actually a theoretical model for a simulation,
It forecasts ethnic divides and popular unrest, and quantifies them,,,
Measuring it as a Conflict Coefficient,
You could use it to prevent a war before it starts,
or escalate one that's underway,
It's pretty obvious which approach Tonami is planning to use,,,
I need to be isolated in an anechoic chamber until the data's been retrieved,
You're worried about being possessed?
That's right,
There's another implant in my brain,
The Divider,
That's how he takes people over,
I'm going to stay with the boss for his checkup,
Kogami, take his statement,
Got it,
Akira,
I know it's been hard,
Mr, Shindo, We need to know what's going on,
Tell me about when Professor Stronskaya was killed,
"Milcia Stronskaya"
I was the one who killed her,
I left my daughter alone for so long because of this research,
I'm a failure as a mother,
But even if I am,
I can at least protect their future,
Ms, Milcia,,,
I promise I'll deliver it,
There was no other way,
What's a Divider?
A device that partitions consciousness,
You're able to see yourself as a separate individual
and transfer feelings of guilt to a different person,
That explains the clear Hues,,,
And you let Tonami take control of that portion of your mind?
Yeah, It's a scientific recreation of religious frenzy,
Like surrendering control to God,,,
But instead, it's Tonami at the wheel,
Some of our people were possessed,
They were hacked,
When you work for Foreign Affairs, you receive a translation patch,
That was how he got in,
But the range and duration are limited,
Makes sense,
Which explains why it didn't affect me or anyone from Public Safety,
Bottom line it, What's your goal here?
The location of their leader, a commanding officer called "the General,"
And who's that?
Don't know his name, Never met him, either,
But I know where he is now,
Where's that?
The northernmost point in Japan,,, the Kuril Islands,
Get down!
I'm impressed,,,
Kai,
Tonami!
Step outside the chamber,
If you don't, I'll kill him,
Don't do it!
Stop! Don't shoot!
Why did you send him undercover?
Tonami wouldn't trust a Japanese person,
And Akira personally volunteered,
He was even willing to burn his face in order to keep his identity secret,
That's a rare kind of dedication,
Something's been bothering me about this case all along,
What's that?
How was Professor Stronskaya attacked if her trip was supposed to be secret?
There has to be a leak,
But specifically,,,
You and Director Yabuki were leaking intel on purpose,
You wanted to lure Tonami out, Am I wrong?
You have a very rich imagination,
I've been looking through your past, but nothing stood out as odd,
And yet, I got this weird feeling,
You never make mistakes,
You've always made the right call, and it's furthered your career as a result,
Almost like you're climbing a stairway that was prepared for you,,,
What exactly are you, sir?
Mr, Kogami? What's wrong?
It's Tonami!
He possessed Agent Ignatov and fled!
Director Yabuki,,,
He's dead,
We need to respond!
I should be able to track Akira for now,
Where is he?
Stop right there!
Atsushi Shindo,
So, this boy is another disposable pawn?
You're wasting your time,
Crime Coefficient is over 100,
He is a target for enforcement,
The Divider,,, is overloading,,,
It's going to burn out his brain,,,
Were you planning on dying all along, Kai?
Target's Threat Judgment has been updated,
Crime Coefficient is 301,
Lethal Eliminator,
Kai!
My name,,,
is Akira Ignatov!
You stupid idiot,
Do it! Kill me!
Please,,, look after Kei,
Don't let him end up like me,,,
I'll keep my promise,
You have my word,
It's been raining for so long,,, but not much longer,
So, Director Shindo isn't going to be investigated,,,
No, Chief Kasei is going to speak with him personally,
I see,
I'm just glad you're okay, Mr, Kogami,
I'm sorry, This was on me,
We're a team, Don't forget that,
You've got me there,
So,,, what now?
We're analyzing the data Agent Ignatov brought in,
As soon as that's done, we'll make our move,
Tonami won't get away next time,
We've been watching you for a long time, and you're as wily as ever,
I'd say that goes both ways,
You're going to be held responsible for what's happened,
With Yabuki's death, we're at the limit of what we can keep quiet,
I'd think so,
That was my intention, anyway,
Methodology aside,,, we're grateful for your contributions,
Let me ask you one thing,
Is the Sibyl System going to retain its faith in human potential?
A ridiculous question,
We exist for that very purpose,
I'm glad to hear that,
We'll guarantee your son's safety, and that of his friends,
It's a promise, Sibyl System,
A parting gift,
You were going to give Stronskaya's Papers to Public Safety all along, weren't you?
I was,
Thank you for everything,
It's a real shame,
Your rights as an inspector are all hereby frozen,
I apologize for dragging you out here,
It's all right,
Akira's younger brother is getting married tomorrow,
I don't want his death to be public until the ceremony is over,
I can arrange for that,
Thank you,
Come to think of it, why don't you join me?
What kept you, Dad?
Sorry,
Kei, Maiko,
Congratulations on your nuptials,
Even with the Sibyl System,,,
Or rather, because we have it, I think that this beautiful young couple
is going to experience some hardships,
I've told many lies in my time,
And I always told myself it was in service of the greater good,
But I'd be lying if I said I had no regrets,
Which is why I don't want you two repeating my mistakes,
Choose the path you won't regret, and find your own answer,
The "right choice" can become wrong as times change,
That's because righteousness is relative,
but the truth is absolute,
What we all need is the truth, along with the ability to understand that truth,
and to make choices where no one gets hurt,
I believe that's the path that leads to true happiness,
That concludes my speech,
Where the heck did you go, Dad?
That's everything, Get back here at once,
Please, wai—
I don't understand what's going on,
There's so much that doesn't make sense,
I feel like I'm going crazy!
I don't know, either,
But,,, everything your father did, he did for you,
That's the feeling I get,
For me?!
What does that even mean?! You've got to explain!
You'll have to find out for yourself,
It's like he said,
"Search for the truth,"
The chief has declared that the joint investigation is over,
What happened?
I'm not sure,
I'm heading back to Tokyo to discuss it with her,
The Peacebreakers are declaring our own independent nation,
This is not to oppose Japan,
or the Sibyl System, for that matter,
To demonstrate that,
I request that you check my Hue and Crime Coefficient,
The result was a wonderfully clear color,
The system has judged him to be a very cooperative partner to do business with,
I have a hard time buying that you all would believe that,
We had a discussion with their supreme leader, the General,
He is a highly rational individual
and intends to support our ongoing international efforts,
In exchange, we accept the independence of the Kuril Islands,
You're saying it's out of the Public Safety Bureau's hands?
Not exactly,
We want you to deliver the Stronskaya Papers to them,
What were all those losses for, then?!
You'll be named to Atsushi Shindo's position soon,
You should accept,
You want me to leave the Public Safety Bureau?
You've already been making moves beyond the Bureau's jurisdiction,
"Tonami - Rejects humanity - Seeks martyrdom Looking for an outlet for his guilt Current theory: God"
Mr, Kogami,,,
I can't let them bury this case,
Sounds like you've made up your mind,
Will you come with me?
I would, even if you told me not to,
Knowing you, I assume there's a plan?
If we're dealing with who I think we are, then we can win this,
That's more than enough for me,
You heard all that,
What're you gonna do?
You really have to ask?
I'm going to do what our boss failed to do,
Tsugumasa Tonami and the Peacebreaker operatives
will be dealt with according to the law,
During their arrest, we'll be observing our own Bureau's operational standards,
Which means that, in principle, we'll be using only Dominators,
With the kind of heat they're packing? Are you serious?
That's right, When we fight,
it'll be as detectives from the Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau,
If we can't prove the legitimacy of law here, then there's no point,
I won't force anyone to participate,
Kogami and I will be working with Inspector Tsunemori,
You know we're ready to do this,
I can get us transportation to the enemy base,
I have something in mind,
If everybody goes in shooting, you'll just be wiped out,
You're going to need logistical support,
That's me and Ms, Kunizuka, along with Hinakawa and Analyst Karanomori,
We're your backup,
Thank you,
Don't get the wrong idea!
If you guys all die, I'll say you coerced me
and somehow get out of this mess!
The core of the Peacebreaker's communications hub is mobile,
which explains why it was so hard to find,
What do you mean?
They're using a high-altitude atmospheric satellite network,
An airship in the stratosphere?
Yep, One designed for stealth,,,
It's always on the move, even when active,
With this thing, they can use high capacity comms anywhere in the world,
We'll hack this system and take it from them,
If we just want to shut the Dividers down, wouldn't it be easier if we destroyed it?
The network environment in the Kuril Islands is bad enough
that Dominators can't be fired repeatedly,
Which is why we'll put their airship to use, for us,
Let's make that the linchpin of the plan, then,
This is the prototype Dominator I've had R&D working on,
Make good use of it, and it'll be a big help,
I appreciate it,
It's super expensive, so you better bring it back,
I've had the two of you registered as users,
Thank you,
I get the plan,
but don't do anything crazy until we get there,
You're the decoy, which puts you in the most danger,
I can't make any promises,
Come on,,,
Which is why you had better come quickly,
Is your leg all right?
Yeah, I'm used to getting hurt,
The two of us made Tsunemori tie herself down to this job,
Sometimes, I find myself thinking that,
I realize that's probably just ego talking,
but it's why I've decided to protect her, however I can,
To keep her from becoming a latent criminal,
It's my penance,
On that, I agree,
Then let me ask you again,,,
Why did you come back?
Not to die,
Instead of wanting revenge, or for some sort of obligation,
I wanted to do more to help other people,
That's how I felt,
That's not much, but it is an improvement,
They'll be arriving at the target destination in 17 minutes,
Understood, Make sure to keep your eyes open,
Sorry to impose like this,
Don't worry about it, I'm just glad I get to pay you back,
I made sure everyone thought this was a top secret exercise, too,
Thanks, Sarutobi,
Actually, my bosses had already been prepped by the Ministry of Welfare's Director Shindo,
Commencing scan,
Transmitting data to Team Hound,
I've got their position,
We'll be moving out,
Copy that, That puts us in phase two,
Good luck to all of you,
It won't be long until Tsunemori gets here, Let's move,
Local Combat Coefficient is below the critical threshold,
No chance of combat,
Akane Tsunemori,
So, you're the Sibyl System's envoy?
Well, let's have the Papers, Where are they?
The Stronskaya Papers are up here,
You put Kai's memory device in your head,,,
Just had to make this difficult, didn't you?
The data can be erased at any time,
I wouldn't do anything suspicious,
What do you want?
I want to see the General, now,
We can't narrow down the location of the airship any further,
If they use the Dividers, we'll immediately know exactly where it is,
We'll have to wait to hear from Akane,
Hinakawa, are you ready?
All set,
I'll be using Mr, Sugo's drone to transmit the program,
but getting past the security and making the upload will take some time,
We're cutting it really close,
Get ready to move, We need to thin out their numbers before they notice us,
This'd be a lot easier if we could use these Dominators,
We'll just have to trust them and wait,
Declaring your independence in the middle of literal ruins,,,
It's insane,
Let's call it a difference in values,
You're looking at an automated industrial city,
run by a stand-alone computer system,
I caught a glimpse of the future here, Evolution decoupled from the hand of man,
Sadly, everything was shut down thanks to global conflicts,,,
The same conflicts you've been contributing to,
So this is the General,,,
As I thought, it's an AI, just like the Sibyl System,
As you thought?
When you imagine a receptacle for other people's guilt and malice,
who could also make peace with Sibyl,,,
It's hard to imagine it's a human,
Professor Saiga helped me figure that out,
It was originally developed as a medical AI to help deal with psycho-hazards,,,
a supplemental system for Sibyl,
But it was repurposed, and that was the birth of the General,
He helps us soldiers fight until the day we die,
Why are you loyal to this thing?
Because he's right,
The real problem is the people who are calling the shots,
I promise to expose the crimes around the founding of the Peacebreakers,
but that doesn't excuse what you, yourself, have done,
What're you going to do, then?
Tsugumasa Tonami, you are under arrest,
Crime Coefficient is 48, Not a target for enforcement action,
What a shame, Looks like your god accepts me,
Akane just used her Dominator,
I'm detecting an active Divider, too,
We've got the position of both the comms system and Tonami,
Coordinates confirmed, I'm headed there now,
Good!
There's still a lot of them in there,
I'd advise extreme caution,
We've got it,
Enemy communications system sighted,
I'm entering the contact approach,
Copy that, I'll start the hack,
Try to stay within range until it's done,
You're near the edge of the effective hacking area,
Don't get too far away!
This is more resistance than I expected!
Try and hurry!
You don't actually have that memory implant, do you?
Hand the Stronskaya Papers over,
I need them to complete the system,
I tried to substitute for them with the professor's brain, but it wasn't enough,
Why are you doing all this?
Why was Sibyl born?
Because the world was in total chaos,
And why did that happen?
Because wealth disparity had grown too far-spread and too severe,
That can only be corrected with unassailable strength,
That's extremism! No one really wants that!
No, it's the truth,
It's the facts that lie in the shadow of the peace you all enjoy,
As long as people are ruled by other people,,,
Someone will be killed unjustly,
People need to be ruled by someone who can administer equal justice,,,
Only AI can do that,
The kind that we can't tamper with,
You're wrong!
No, I'm not,
Man will live in accordance,,, with the will of their god,
Unauthorized access to communications system Raphael detected,
Localized Combat Coefficient is rising,
Please respond immediately,
More lies, huh?
We've got rats, Kill them,
I'll be there soon,
Roger that,
I won't let you possess—
My own body is still enough to deal with you, young lady,
We can't go any farther!
Then we hold this position until the Dominators are online!
This time, you die,
Tonami?!
Kogami!
You're wasting your time, Give it up,
How much longer?! I don't know if I can keep this up!
Just a little more,,,
I made it in!
Shion!
I know,
Time to start fighting back,
Inspector?
Sorry about the holdup,
The Dividers are down, and the Dominators are ready,
Roger!
Dominator has been activated,
User authentication: Shinya Kogami,
Affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Suppressing Action Department,
Special authorization confirmed, You are a temporary user,
Multiple Crime Coefficients over 100 detected,
Safety is unlocked,
Bring the target under control,
Enforcement mode is Destroy Decomposer,
Destroying all targeted weapons in the vicinity,
Please be careful,
An error has occurred, Now shutting down,
We've got this handled! Go to Tsunemori!
Don't stop!
Go!
Thanks,
This is for our son,,,
You're dead!
That's weird,,,
The comms system is still flying along its automated course,
No good, It's locked, and we can't access it,
I know why,,,
It's preprogrammed to self-destruct in the event of hacking,
I can't disable it!
This is bad,,, It's headed for the base!
Mika, what do we—
You want me to help a traitor?
Yes, ma'am,
For the Public Safety Bureau,,,
No, for Sibyl's sake, as well,
Akane Tsunemori is too valuable to let die,
The main systems are still functional,,,
What do you think you're doing?!
I'm going to give the Stronskaya Papers to your god,
And I'll do it the right way!
What?!
If this god of yours, the General, is an AI designed to end conflict,
then I know it'll have a different answer,
What's wrong with you?!
After learning all this, you still want to stop me?!
I'm a detective, charged with the execution of the law!
The Papers were in the Dominator?
Praise be to my soldiers,
I will now be as one with the promised land, the Sibyl System,
So that we may bring true justice and order to the world,
Know that I am always at your side,
Malfunction in the medical AI has been corrected,
Updated to operate as a part of the Sibyl System,
Extraneous terminals will now be shut down,
General,,, is this your answer?
It happened sooner than I expected,
but I always wanted the two of them to unite,
Mankind has created an all-powerful god and named it Sibyl,
But it's mankind who tries to kill that god, too!
It's you, a witch that brings about the downfall of society!
What now?!
Not enough firepower!
We're at a dead end,
Don't worry,
I've got it covered,
Copy that, We'll execute immediately,
We are now entering combat posture,
Prep the anti-ship missiles for firing!
Fire,
Yes!
I've verified the destruction of the comms system,
This is bad! We need to run!
Why not just kill me?
You need to suffer,
Drop the gun,
Tsugumasa Tonami, you will be judged by the law!
How do you not understand?
That dysfunctional, anachronistic law,,,
Sibyl is trying to free people from it!
Sibyl and the General,,, will put people like me to use,,,
In order to create righteousness!
You can kill me, but you can't stop what started here,
You're wrong! Sibyl isn't absolute!
The system needs to coexist with the will of the people!
Otherwise, we'll lose all meaning to our lives!
And it's the law that will create that coexistence!
In a world like this, do you really think anyone cares?!
All they want is the meager comfort that Sibyl can offer them,
No one cares,,,
about righteousness!
With that, I agree,
Mr, Kogami,,,
I said I wouldn't let you do it again,
There's no way to keep the legal system from being abolished,
Everything will probably turn out like Tonami said,
But even then,,,
I believe in you, who wants to do the right thing,
I'll have to be judged, too,
Mr, Kogami,,,
You all right?
Somehow, yeah,
Now Sibyl has obtained everything,
Which means that we have as well,
Homura reached his limit and retired,
I'm looking forward to the new congressman,
Under orders from Atsushi Shindo and Shogo Yabuki,
the Peacebreaker unit committed subversive acts against foreign powers,
The concealment of these illegal operations
led to the uprising caused by their commander, Tsugumasa Tonami,
This was proven by the confession that was left behind by Atsushi Shindo,
With the deaths of Shindo and Yabuki,
the investigation is now closed,
You just pinned the crimes of the entire government on the two of them,
It was the outcome that they desired from the beginning,
You approved the transfer of our Enforcers to the Foreign Ministry,
I'll thank you for that,
Shinya Kogami's return to the SAD will also be approved shortly,
I don't intend on making any more of a fuss,
That is unexpected,
Were you surprised I agreed to take the route you prepared for me, too?
Surprised, but pleased,
You will walk the same path that Atsushi Shindo did,
Right,
I'm leaving the Public Safety Bureau,
It's gonna be lonely around here,
It'd be stranger if nothing ever changed,
That's true,
Shouldn't Akane's appointment ceremony be soon?
"Commemorating the 55th Anniversary of the Sibyl System's Creation - Ministry of Welfare New Administration Appointment Ceremony Broadcast starting soon,"
There's something I've been worrying about this entire time,
Our society, where your Crime Coefficient is everything,
with no room for debate, as decided by Sibyl,
In a nation of laws,
the nature of crime was something that was always debated,
"What is crime?" "Is punishment just?"
"Commemorating the 55th Anniversary of the Sibyl System's Creation - Ministry of Welfare New Administration Appointment Ceremony"
Understanding another's evil, and questioning your own justice,,,
This case has driven home for me how the key to maintaining our humanity
is in continuing to debate these things,
And it's my belief that an end to that debate
would constitute a grave mistake in shaping the future of justice,
People need laws,
That's why,,,
I intend to question the nature of justice in a way only I can,
I'm glad I got to see you, Mr, Kogami,
You were the one who helped me find this answer,
You idiot!
Crime Coefficient is under 60, Not a target for enforcement action,
Trigger will be locked,
Take good care of Division 1, Mika,
This can't,,, I can't accept this!
Most shocking of all is how, in spite of committing murder in the open,
Akane Tsunemori's Crime Coefficient remained low,
The suspect's Crime Coefficient hasn't been made public yet,
but the fact remains that the Dominator did not activate for her,
It's been announced that as a result,
the dissolution of the Ministry of Justice, long believed a foregone conclusion,
has been canceled for the time being,
Akane Tsunemori, This is your choice?
Much as the Lord's love is limitless,
And not just for humans,,,
It's the only way to protect you, the Sibyl System, as well,
That's what Atsushi Shindo and Akira Ignatov
were willing to risk their lives to protect,
Fascinating,
We will see what effect your actions have on society,
I swear, I'll get you out of there,
