1. What is a physical body?
Copy !req
2. The body is merely an object.
Copy !req
3. It is an existence all too impure to
store the gods within us called souls.
Copy !req
4. Now, you will remember.
Copy !req
5. The bloodstained history.
Copy !req
6. Material desire.
Copy !req
7. Hunger.
Copy !req
8. Sexual drive.
Copy !req
9. Desire to dominate.
Copy !req
10. Desire for fame.
Copy !req
11. As long as there is a body,
desires will be born.
Copy !req
12. As long as there is desire,
human ego will not disappear.
Copy !req
13. Humans will continue to
fight to fulfill their...
Copy !req
14. bodies' desires,
and it will never end.
Copy !req
15. At this rate, there is no future!
Copy !req
16. Now, awaken your soul!
Copy !req
17. Now, be rid of that filthy body.
Copy !req
18. We are SCRATCH,
an electronic transcendence group.
Copy !req
19. We are disciples of God,
sent here to free your soul from...
Copy !req
20. your body and lead you to
the infinite sea of electrons.
Copy !req
21. Good evening. This is CBC News.
Copy !req
22. First, we have news about the
electronic transcendence group SCRATCH.
Copy !req
23. Last week, the ISSP and all
Sol solar system police departments...
Copy !req
24. received the wanted poster
for the leader, Londes...
Copy !req
25. and began searching the homes
of high-ranking members...
Copy !req
26. Here at the scene...
Copy !req
27. Enticing people with "easy entry"
and "salvation of the soul"...
Copy !req
28. SCRATCH has been able to
constantly grow in numbers...
Copy !req
29. However, another suicide...
Copy !req
30. The members of SCRATCH use
the brain wave control device...
Copy !req
31. on this new game console to
scan their own brain waves...
Copy !req
32. and use a program created
by their leader, Londes...
Copy !req
33. which is said to copy the spirit
from brain waves as digital data...
Copy !req
34. and upload that spirit data
into the universal network.
Copy !req
35. They believe that doing this will make
them exist as a soul without a body,
Copy !req
36. Now Professor, they say that Londes,
the leader, was once a doctor.
Copy !req
37. Is such a thing possible?
Copy !req
38. This is ridiculous. Completely in
the realm of science fiction.
Copy !req
39. It may be theoretically,
possible to do so...
Copy !req
40. but a theory is only,
a theory, in the end.
Copy !req
41. Yes, and...
Copy !req
42. he hasn't returned for two weeks.
Copy !req
43. Lady, you have to talk
it out with your husband.
Copy !req
44. It's about your son...
Copy !req
45. But... He isn't the type that
would just run away from home...
Copy !req
46. Could he have been kidnapped?
Copy !req
47. Lady, are you listening
to what I'm saying?
Copy !req
48. That's got to be it!
Copy !req
49. That religion that's been popular
lately... That whatchamacallit...
Copy !req
50. All right, we're gonna take a break.
Copy !req
51. Hi! Today, I'm introducing Power CDJ, an
item for DJ's who don't exercise much!
Copy !req
52. You adjust the BPM using this lever...
Copy !req
53. and it allows you to
be a DJ while you exercise!
Copy !req
54. Then, the reason you
decided to join is...?
Copy !req
55. Yes, er, I... I got tired
of a debt-filled life...
Copy !req
56. and that was when
I found this... Yes...
Copy !req
57. If I rid myself of a body,
I'll no longer need money.
Copy !req
58. Hey, Jet!
Copy !req
59. Hold on, it's almost done.
Copy !req
60. I don't care! Just get over here!
Copy !req
61. By releasing the spirit from the body,
we are able to discard all desire.
Copy !req
62. - So you're going to forget your debt?
- I thought we hadn't seen her in a while.
Copy !req
63. What kind of joke is this?
Copy !req
64. Brain Dream!
Copy !req
65. The new game console, Brain Dream,
can read your mind!
Copy !req
66. Control YOUR games
the way that YOU want to!
Copy !req
67. Are you always fighting
with your controls?
Copy !req
68. Do the cords get tangled?
Copy !req
69. If that's the case then
LET'S DREAM together!
Copy !req
70. And so, at our station,
we have the strictest policies...
Copy !req
71. in the world, and against
programs such as this...
Copy !req
72. Oh, there it is.
Copy !req
73. I'm gonna eat now!
Copy !req
74. Doctor Londes. Wanted for murder.
Copy !req
75. The bounty is an amazing 38 million.
Copy !req
76. I see. That's enough for
her to flake out on us.
Copy !req
77. This guy was apparently a neurobiology
researcher fifty years ago.
Copy !req
78. However, one day he suddenly
had a vision from God...
Copy !req
79. and immersed himself in research
to store the human spirit...
Copy !req
80. the functions of the brain
itself, as digital data.
Copy !req
81. Since then, he's been missing...
Copy !req
82. Then, two years ago, he suddenly
reappeared to form...
Copy !req
83. the electronic transcendence
group SCRATCH.
Copy !req
84. What the hell is that?
Copy !req
85. In other words, a new religious cult.
Copy !req
86. Anyway, according to him...
Copy !req
87. The human brain function itself is
a weak stream of electronic pulses...
Copy !req
88. so if you are able to copy that
as data, and replay it over...
Copy !req
89. the universal network as a program,
you can exist only as a soul...
Copy !req
90. Are you listening to me?
Copy !req
91. Well, it's up to you
to believe it or not.
Copy !req
92. There are already 20,000 believers.
Copy !req
93. Of which approximately 100 have
committed suicide or ended up missing.
Copy !req
94. And so the cops have started
moving their lazy asses.
Copy !req
95. His face ain't appetizing.
Copy !req
96. Seconds!
Copy !req
97. That's all.
Copy !req
98. We're gonna go after him, too.
Copy !req
99. We are SCRATCH,
an electronic transcendence group.
Copy !req
100. We are disciples of God,
sent here to free your soul from...
Copy !req
101. your body and lead you to
the infinite sea of electrons.
Copy !req
102. Searching, searching, where are you?
Copy !req
103. Oh, so you want to be a member as well?
Copy !req
104. Y-Yeah, I guess...
Copy !req
105. For that, we need to
cleanse your soul first.
Copy !req
106. As the first step...
Copy !req
107. Uh... before that,
I want to meet this Mr. Londes...
Copy !req
108. Do you know where he is?
Copy !req
109. Oh, of course.
Copy !req
110. Really?
Copy !req
111. He's in heaven.
Copy !req
112. Londes?
Copy !req
113. Hum, did such a guy exist?
Copy !req
114. Ya gotta help me, old man.
Copy !req
115. You're the only colleague of
his that is still alive.
Copy !req
116. Can't you remember something? Anything?
Copy !req
117. Maybe he existed... Maybe he didn't...
Copy !req
118. Which is it?
Copy !req
119. Oh, then you want to
be a member as well?
Copy !req
120. Yeah, I guess...
Copy !req
121. For that, we need to
cleanse your soul first.
Copy !req
122. As the first step...
Copy !req
123. Oh, can I ask something before that?
Copy !req
124. I want to see Mr. Londes...
Copy !req
125. Well, anything, his soul or whatever,
will do, but how can I meet him?
Copy !req
126. Do you really want to become a member?
Copy !req
127. And so Dr. Londes is the
center of everyone's attention...
Copy !req
128. The first big-name guy in a while!
Copy !req
129. Unfortunately, we have
absolutely no new information!
Copy !req
130. Oh, my...
Copy !req
131. Everyone is doing their best to find him,
but there just isn't any information.
Copy !req
132. We're seeing his face virtually,
every day from SCRATCH's...
Copy !req
133. TV programs, but we know
nothing important about him.
Copy !req
134. Is he really a soul without a body?
Copy !req
135. Now, I have one other
bit of important news for you.
Copy !req
136. Oh? What is it?
Copy !req
137. Actually...
Copy !req
138. Hurry up and tell me!
Copy !req
139. We've been on the air
for a long time now...
Copy !req
140. and I know it's sudden,
but this is our final episode!
Copy !req
141. You're kidding!
Copy !req
142. They're canning us because of
low ratings, unfortunately...
Copy !req
143. Unfortunately?
How come I didn't hear about this?
Copy !req
144. No good?
Copy !req
145. No good.
Copy !req
146. I got nothing, either.
Copy !req
147. Nope, nope...
Copy !req
148. I went after his colleagues
from his research days...
Copy !req
149. but it was all for nothing.
Copy !req
150. And I got nothing out of the members.
Copy !req
151. Oh, it's Faye-Faye.
Copy !req
152. I'm in... a little... trouble.
Copy !req
153. Are you listening...?
Copy !req
154. I think I really can...
get rid of my debt...
Copy !req
155. Anyway, I'm trusting you with Faye.
Copy !req
156. And I'm gonna be having a hard time if
you're gonna be baby-sitting forever...
Copy !req
157. As I said!
Copy !req
158. Brain Dream is pretty rare!
I have to line up here if I want one!
Copy !req
159. Are you really going
to hack into his home page?
Copy !req
160. That's the only lead we got left.
Copy !req
161. Beyond that... Faye seems to have
dug something up, so we can use that...
Copy !req
162. Oof, it's about that time.
Copy !req
163. All right, go for it.
Copy !req
164. Okay...
Copy !req
165. Welcome to SCRATCH,
an electronic transcendence group.
Copy !req
166. Head straight if you wish to join us.
Copy !req
167. Head over that way to request more
detailed information about SCRATCH.
Copy !req
168. So I guess I can't copy
my spirit immediately...
Copy !req
169. Guess I have no choice...
Copy !req
170. Joining us?
Please input your personal data.
Copy !req
171. Data, data.
Copy !req
172. Fake data!
Copy !req
173. Blood, muscle, and bone...
Copy !req
174. When those are lost,
humans face death...
Copy !req
175. What lies beyond that?
Heaven? Hell? Reincarnation?
Copy !req
176. Such things cannot possibly exist.
Those are mere excuses...
Copy !req
177. What's wrong?
Copy !req
178. What is this?
Copy !req
179. None of the previous paths to salvation
had such a clear vision as this...
Copy !req
180. Awaken your spirit!
Copy !req
181. Now, be rid of that filthy body.
Copy !req
182. High frequency?
Copy !req
183. Yeah. I'm not exactly sure...
Copy !req
184. but it has some contraption that
paralyzes the sympathetic nerves.
Copy !req
185. In just seconds, everything before my
eyes went blank and I passed out.
Copy !req
186. If Ein didn't realize it and bite me,
I would have been...
Copy !req
187. a member of SCRATCH.
Copy !req
188. Anyway, we need to devise
a countermeasure to...
Copy !req
189. Well, I'll try becoming a member now.
Copy !req
190. Hey, Spike!
Copy !req
191. Hey!
Copy !req
192. I'm sure dogs have brain waves, too...
Copy !req
193. Ed wanna wear it, too!
Copy !req
194. If you become a member,
who is going to look Londes up?
Copy !req
195. Do it.
Copy !req
196. Welcome to SCRATCH,
an electronic transcendence gr...
Copy !req
197. Oh! Good going, Ed!
Copy !req
198. This is...
Copy !req
199. Can this really be?
Copy !req
200. A guy named Londes never existed.
Copy !req
201. His past, all the records...
Copy !req
202. they were all counterfeit.
Copy !req
203. And all the controls
lead back to here...
Copy !req
204. Alles Valley Hospice.
Copy !req
205. Ed, help me.
Copy !req
206. Papa!
Copy !req
207. Not yet!
Copy !req
208. Papa!
Copy !req
209. Nobody here would want visitors.
Copy !req
210. And you need an
appointment to see someone.
Copy !req
211. Or did you come here
for inheritance?
Copy !req
212. Nothing of the sort!
Copy !req
213. Actually, this girl's
twin brother is here.
Copy !req
214. Papa!
Copy !req
215. Girl? Is she really a girl?
Copy !req
216. Papa!
Copy !req
217. A-Actually... it's a long story...
Copy !req
218. I'm just having her sleep.
Copy !req
219. Of course, the other bounty,
hunters all slept to death.
Copy !req
220. We finally tracked the
long-lost brother to be here.
Copy !req
221. Papa!
Copy !req
222. It was a shock to my daughter...
She has been insane ever since...
Copy !req
223. and I thought about having
her meet her brother just once.
Copy !req
224. You can go.
Copy !req
225. I can't thank you enough.
Copy !req
226. Why do you kill off your members?
Copy !req
227. What's your purpose?
Copy !req
228. I am not forcing anything.
Copy !req
229. They are merely practicing a faith
that they decided to believe.
Copy !req
230. Why do you think people believe in God?
Copy !req
231. It's because they want to.
Copy !req
232. It's not easy living
in this rotten world.
Copy !req
233. There is nothing certain while
living on in this world.
Copy !req
234. Do you get it?
Copy !req
235. God didn't create humans.
Copy !req
236. Humans created God.
Copy !req
237. He's it?
Copy !req
238. I'm sick of this little act.
Copy !req
239. What's wrong? Come on out.
An illusion isn't enough for me.
Copy !req
240. That is correct...
Copy !req
241. A man named Londes does
not exist in this world.
Copy !req
242. He is merely an imaginary,
character I created...
Copy !req
243. a mere illusion created
by scanning lines.
Copy !req
244. Is this a brain wave
controller like Brain Dream?
Copy !req
245. Hey, Ed.
Copy !req
246. Can you cut off the connection between
the brain wave controller and the network?
Copy !req
247. Yeah.
Copy !req
248. All right. But don't turn
off the life support system.
Copy !req
249. Do you know what the greatest and worst
invention that humans ever made was?
Copy !req
250. Television.
Copy !req
251. Television controls people
using information...
Copy !req
252. and steals their sense of reality,
Copy !req
253. Yes. Now, television
itself is a religion.
Copy !req
254. TV has created people that are easily,
fooled by such an idiotic fantasy,
Copy !req
255. Just like a little kid.
Copy !req
256. What...?
Copy !req
257. YOU are the one who can't tell...
fantasy from reality, Londes.
Copy !req
258. If you want to dream, dream alone.
Copy !req
259. W- What do you know?
Copy !req
260. What do you think you know about me?
Copy !req
261. What... What are you doing?
Copy !req
262. Stop!
Copy !req
263. Help! You can't do that!
Copy !req
264. Stop!
Copy !req
265. Shit!
Copy !req
266. Stop it!
Copy !req
267. Stop it!
Copy !req
268. Don't turn it off!
Copy !req
269. What... What did I do?
Copy !req
270. N- No... This is unfair...
Copy !req
271. Why... am I the only one...?
Copy !req
272. Shit...
Copy !req
273. Everyone should have...
Copy !req
274. had the same body as me...
Copy !req
275. No... I...
Copy !req
276. I don't want to disappear!
Copy !req
277. I don't want to disappear...
Copy !req
278. Ronny Spangen. Previously a hacker.
Copy !req
279. A boy who became
a vegetable two years ago...
Copy !req
280. when he was 13,
from a medical accident.
Copy !req
281. No... you are no longer a boy.
You're a damn good con artist.
Copy !req
282. Oh, long time no see.
Copy !req
283. Where am I?
Copy !req
284. It was all a kid's dream.
Copy !req
285. Yeah, all he could do was dream...
Copy !req
286. This time, have sweet dreams.
Copy !req
287. Our souls that God has
given us... our spirit.
Copy !req
288. Is not our body an existence all too
small and weak for our spirits...
Copy !req
289. which found a way,
to swim through...
Copy !req
290. the vast network and live
in the infinity of space?
Copy !req
291. Aishiteta to nageku niwa...
Too much time has passed by...
Copy !req
292. amarinimo toki wa sugite shimatta
to lament that we were deeply in love.
Copy !req
293. Mada kokoro no hokorobi wo...
The wind keeps blowing, while my heart...
Copy !req
294. iyasenu mama kaze ga fuiteru
cannot heal all the tears in it.
Copy !req
295. Kawaita hitomi de dareka naite kure
Someone, cry for me with parched eyes.
Copy !req
296. The real folk blues.
Copy !req
297. Honto no kanashimi ga shiritai dake
I only want to know what true sadness is.
Copy !req
298. Doro no kawa ni tsukatta...
Sitting in muddy water...
Copy !req
299. jinsei mo waruku wa nai...
isn't such a bad life...
Copy !req
300. ichido kiri de owaru nara...
if it ends after the first time...
Copy !req
301. Next episode: Hard Luck Woman.
Copy !req
