1. Angely I demony kruzhili nado mnoj,
Angels and demons circle above me,
Copy !req
2. rassykhali ternii I vechnye puti.
through the thorns to the stars.
Copy !req
3. Ne znaet shast'je tol'ko tot,
Only those unable to perceive its call...
Copy !req
4. kto jevo zova ponjat' ne smog.
do not know happiness.
Copy !req
5. Naljubuites', naljubuites'.
Watch in awe, watch in awe.
Copy !req
6. Aeria gloris, aeria gloris.
Copy !req
7. Naljubuites', naljubuites'.
Watch in awe, watch in awe.
Copy !req
8. Aeria gloris, aeria gloris.
Copy !req
9. I am calling, calling now,
Copy !req
10. spirits rise and falling.
Copy !req
11. Soboj ostat'sja dol'she.
To remain myself longer.
Copy !req
12. Calling, calling, in the depths of longing.
Copy !req
13. Soboj ostat'sja dol'she.
To remain myself longer.
Copy !req
14. Naljubuites',
Watch in awe,
Copy !req
15. aeria gloris.
Copy !req
16. Level 18 to 30.
Now through comm barrier.
Copy !req
17. Have pinpointed building
that perp is using as hideout.
Copy !req
18. Target acquisition
impossible from here.
Copy !req
19. Change op from
S-15 to S-20.
Copy !req
20. Roger.
Copy !req
21. 0907, connect
to device driver.
Copy !req
22. Initiate regulation of
cardiopulmonary functions.
Copy !req
23. Respiration and pulse both nominal.
Sync with stabilizer verified.
Copy !req
24. 0907, target verified.
Copy !req
25. Destruction of target confirmed.
Copy !req
26. Test concluded.
That went pretty well.
Copy !req
27. No, I can't seem
to get a feel for it.
Copy !req
28. Really? But your targeting error
was less than 0.2.
Copy !req
29. It's over-correcting.
Copy !req
30. When I start sniping, it's like I'm getting
some interference from the system.
Copy !req
31. Hey, Saito and
Borma are back!
Copy !req
32. Keep a close eye on that
until the debriefing session is over.
Copy !req
33. Understood, sir.
I'll take good care of it.
Copy !req
34. What would you like to do?
Copy !req
35. I'll go to the debriefing session
and then come right back.
Copy !req
36. Continue your observations.
Copy !req
37. While you're doing that,
simulate a full reinitialization...
Copy !req
38. of their Al just in case
it comes to that.
Copy !req
39. Once you get your
final results, call me.
Copy !req
40. Understood.
Copy !req
41. Hey, Mr. Saito!
Copy !req
42. What did you think of the helicopter
with the built-in sniper control system?
Copy !req
43. Will Section 9 finally
adopt them, too?
Copy !req
44. No, probably not.
Copy !req
45. When I start sniping,
I get some kind of interference.
Copy !req
46. For humans like me with
a low prosthetics percentage,
Copy !req
47. it actually makes it harder
to control, not easier.
Copy !req
48. You heard the man.
Copy !req
49. I hadn't thought of that.
Copy !req
50. Other than his left eye and arm,
Saito's body is all-natural.
Copy !req
51. I guess it's no wonder.
Copy !req
52. Next to Togusa, he's the cyborg with the lowest
prosthetic percentage in Section 9.
Copy !req
53. Oh, that reminds me. Did you know that the
word "cyborg" is an issue these days?
Copy !req
54. They says it's discriminatory language
against people with prosthetics.
Copy !req
55. Oh, that's just reactionary conservatism
from naturalists!
Copy !req
56. What are they thinking, opposing cyberization
and prosthetics in this day and age?
Copy !req
57. I bet they feel that if they put
machine parts in their bodies,
Copy !req
58. the line between man and
machine will be crossed.
Copy !req
59. Well, I guess I can
understand that.
Copy !req
60. I can't stand that kind of
warped Luddite mentality!
Copy !req
61. And don't even get me started
on NPO's nowadays.
Copy !req
62. By the way...
Copy !req
63. Wanna link with that
thing back there?
Copy !req
64. - Do you even need to ask?
- Do you even need to ask?
Copy !req
65. Keep up the good work. It's good to see a
robot who is enthusiastic about her duties.
Copy !req
66. What are you up to?
Copy !req
67. This prototype was left in my care
until the debriefing session is over,
Copy !req
68. and I mean to do
just that.
Copy !req
69. C'mon, we're not gonna
do anything!
Copy !req
70. Boldfaced lies like that
won't work on me.
Copy !req
71. You're right, I only tell lies.
I never, ever say anything true.
Copy !req
72. But if what he just said is true,
that means he told the truth.
Copy !req
73. But if what he said just now is also a lie,
that would mean that he always tells the truth.
Copy !req
74. How do you resolve
this contradiction?
Copy !req
75. Um...
Copy !req
76. Uh...
Copy !req
77. - Well?
- C'mon!
Copy !req
78. Um...
Copy !req
79. Uh...
Copy !req
80. Uh...
Copy !req
81. Uh, I... I...
Copy !req
82. Folks who can't even resolve a self-reference
paradox are such suckers.
Copy !req
83. And what's with that
stereotypical thinking pose?
Copy !req
84. Who cares about that?
Hurry up and link with it!
Copy !req
85. Hey, don't be in
such a rush!
Copy !req
86. You'd better synchronize
with us afterwards.
Copy !req
87. Hm...
Copy !req
88. The interior is crammed full
with the sniping control program...
Copy !req
89. Aw, what a pain!
This stuff is in the way, too.
Copy !req
90. Okay, I've got a pretty good idea
of the internal construction,
Copy !req
91. but it looks like this fella
isn't equipped with any...
Copy !req
92. autonomous functions to output
its condition to the outside.
Copy !req
93. It can't even talk?
It's a sub-Turing machine!
Copy !req
94. What a piece of junk!
Copy !req
95. All right, I guess I'll have to connect
its vocal output to mine.
Copy !req
96. Unknown factor, delete.
Copy !req
97. Identification code 0907.
Right hand. Second finger.
Copy !req
98. Delete. Error.
Delete. Error.
Copy !req
99. 0907? Isn't that Saito's
ID number?
Copy !req
100. Well, that interference
isn't surprising, then.
Copy !req
101. It felt that the factors originating
from Saito were unnecessary.
Copy !req
102. Oh, I get it!
Copy !req
103. In other words, it wants
to delete Saito.
Copy !req
104. Exactly.
Copy !req
105. Still, not being able to vocalize
what it's feeling...
Copy !req
106. It must have gotten
really stressed out.
Copy !req
107. What do you think
will happen to it?
Copy !req
108. That all depends on the findings of the
debriefing session, but it doesn't look good.
Copy !req
109. At best, it'll be sent back to the lab for
further testing. At worst, it'll be scrapped.
Copy !req
110. Well, I hope somebody
will want it.
Copy !req
111. Gentlemen! We, too, can no longer
afford to stand idly by!
Copy !req
112. This is no time to be worrying
about that thing's fate!
Copy !req
113. Tomorrow, that may be us!
Copy !req
114. What's he saying?
Copy !req
115. Huh? What?
Copy !req
116. Something has been
nagging at me lately.
Copy !req
117. When the Major is checking on our behavior,
I find the look in her eyes alarming.
Copy !req
118. What do you mean?
Copy !req
119. You mean that the natural oil issue
is still bothering her?
Copy !req
120. It's something far worse
than that, my friend!
Copy !req
121. We ourselves might
be scrapped!
Copy !req
122. Oh, memento mori!
Copy !req
123. Is being scrapped
the same as dying?
Copy !req
124. Well, since "death" isn't in our range of
possible experiences, I can't really say...
Copy !req
125. It's a matter of our limits
as Ghostless Al's.
Copy !req
126. Basically, we're pseudo-immortal.
We're not alive, so we can't die.
Copy !req
127. That's right!
Our not having Ghosts...
Copy !req
128. - ... causes all sorts of problems!
- But being scrapped doesn't equal death.
Copy !req
129. - Because a Ghost is a raison d'etre!
- But being scrapped doesn't equal death.
Copy !req
130. - Because a Ghost is a raison d'etre!
- Huh? You think?
Copy !req
131. - What do you think it is, then?
- The days of there being an exact match...
Copy !req
132. in the number of physical bodies
and Ghosts are over.
Copy !req
133. Well, just to take an extreme example,
it's not beyond...
Copy !req
134. the realm of possibility that a mass of data
with no body could carry a Ghost.
Copy !req
135. Wow, I'm amazed that you
could think of that.
Copy !req
136. But aren't you interested in joining
the conversation over there?
Copy !req
137. Nah, I've gotten interested
in books lately.
Copy !req
138. Really? What'cha reading?
Copy !req
139. "Flowers for Algernon".
Copy !req
140. Wow, you're going to the trouble
of reading it on paper media?
Copy !req
141. Well, depicting exchanges with other cultures
is a fundamental of entertainment in any age.
Copy !req
142. Hey, what do you
suppose "alive" is?
Copy !req
143. Hm, it's hard to say... You see, the definition
of the word "life" itself is pretty fluid.
Copy !req
144. What do you mean?
Copy !req
145. Through coming into contact
with robots,
Copy !req
146. the image humans have of life
is changing subconsciously.
Copy !req
147. I think that it's humans that
are changing, not robots.
Copy !req
148. Hey, wait a minute. If our data got erased,
do you think we'd forget Miki, too?
Copy !req
149. Huh? Miki? I sure would like
to go see Miki again!
Copy !req
150. Yeah, I wanna see Miki!
Copy !req
151. I wanna see her, too!
Copy !req
152. Did they say Miki?
I wanna see Miki, too!
Copy !req
153. - Me, too!
- I agree.
Copy !req
154. Calm down, gentlemen!
Calm down!
Copy !req
155. Which of us was the one
who met Miki in the first place?
Copy !req
156. It was me!
Copy !req
157. No, me!
Copy !req
158. No way, I'm positive
it was me!
Copy !req
159. What are you talking about?
It was me!
Copy !req
160. Says you!
It was me!
Copy !req
161. - No, me!
- Me!
Copy !req
162. - It was me, darn it!
- Wait, wait!
Copy !req
163. Back then, did any of you catch sight
of somebody who seemed like the Major?
Copy !req
164. Now that you mention it,
I did sense something.
Copy !req
165. Do you suppose she was
watching me?
Copy !req
166. What're you talking about?
That was me!
Copy !req
167. It was me,
I'm telling you!
Copy !req
168. I was...
No, you were...
Copy !req
169. Oh, cut that out.
Copy !req
170. It's a moot question.
Copy !req
171. All our data
is synchronized,
Copy !req
172. so one unit's experiences are stored
as everyone's experiences.
Copy !req
173. Tachikoma!
Copy !req
174. Mr. Batou!
Copy !req
175. Come with me
for a bit.
Copy !req
176. I'm doing some target practice for
the trainees, so gimme a hand.
Copy !req
177. Coming!
Copy !req
178. Huh? I guess it really
was me...
Copy !req
179. What're you mumbling about?
Copy !req
180. Oh, it's nothing!
Copy !req
181. Anyway, what am I gonna
do with you, Mr. Batou?
Copy !req
182. You can't even handle a little
target practice without me.
Copy !req
183. I guess not.
Copy !req
184. What's this mean?
Why was he the only one?
Copy !req
185. I thought all our experiences
were supposed to be shared.
Copy !req
186. This is some fascinating
food for thought.
Copy !req
187. Perhaps memories dealing with Batou
are different from other memories.
Copy !req
188. Maybe it's because Batou always
wants to pilot the same unit.
Copy !req
189. And it's also true that he was the only one
who was given natural oil...
Copy !req
190. Does this mean that the body
and mind really are inseparable?
Copy !req
191. The mysteries never end!
This is fascinating!
Copy !req
192. Even if something ever happens to us
that causes our data to get erased,
Copy !req
193. I'd sure hate to forget
about Batou.
Copy !req
194. - That would stink!
- No way!
Copy !req
195. No matter what happens,
don't forget Batou!
Copy !req
196. Yeah!
Copy !req
197. Hey, now! This ain't no
Olympic target shooting!
Copy !req
198. Just cut loose
and keep shootin'!
Copy !req
199. Feels pretty good...
Copy !req
200. Say, Mr. Batou...
Copy !req
201. About that sniper system...
What's gonna happen to it?
Copy !req
202. Oh, that? It'll depend on the
findings of the retesting,
Copy !req
203. but it looks like we're gonna pass
on adopting it for use here.
Copy !req
204. It's just like those guys over there.
An unknown quantity.
Copy !req
205. Oh, I see...
Copy !req
206. So, will we be sent back
to the lab, too?
Copy !req
207. Wha...? Who's been
telling you that?
Copy !req
208. Well, it's just that the way the Major's
been looking at us lately is kinda scary.
Copy !req
209. Oh, is that all? The Major's
always scary, remember?
Copy !req
210. I think you guys are
doing a fine job.
Copy !req
211. You there! Why are you taking
so long to charge in?
Copy !req
212. For crying out loud...
Copy !req
213. You really think so?
Copy !req
214. What, you're still
worried about that?
Copy !req
215. Yeah... It just seems like the Major is angry
about what we've acquired recently.
Copy !req
216. "Acquired"?
Acquired what?
Copy !req
217. Well, it's...
Copy !req
218. Individuality.
Copy !req
219. Individuality?
Copy !req
220. Yeah!
Copy !req
221. And you know that "existence of God" thing
that I had trouble understanding before?
Copy !req
222. I think I'm starting
to understand it now.
Copy !req
223. Maybe, just maybe, it's a concept
that's similar to a zero in mathematics.
Copy !req
224. In other words, it's a symbol that
denies the absence of meaning,
Copy !req
225. the meaning that's necessitated by the
delineation of one system from another.
Copy !req
226. In analog, that's God.
In digital, it's zero.
Copy !req
227. What do you think?
Copy !req
228. Also, our basic construction
is digital, right?
Copy !req
229. So for the time being, no matter how much
data we accumulate, we'll never have a Ghost.
Copy !req
230. But analog-based people
like you, Mr. Batou,
Copy !req
231. no matter how many digital components
you add through cyberization or prosthetics,
Copy !req
232. your Ghost will never
be damaged.
Copy !req
233. Plus, you can even die
'cause you've got a Ghost.
Copy !req
234. You're so lucky.
Copy !req
235. Tell me, what's it feel like
to have a Ghost?
Copy !req
236. How's it feel?
Copy !req
237. No, I take back
what I said earlier.
Copy !req
238. You're pretty messed up,
all right.
Copy !req
239. Look, stop overanalyzing things.
Just concentrate on your job.
Copy !req
240. Okay!
Copy !req
241. See ya later.
Copy !req
242. Bye bye!
Copy !req
243. Must be nice to be
the only one he ever uses.
Copy !req
244. It's not fair!
Copy !req
245. Call me Batou's
private unit!
Copy !req
246. That stuff again?
Sheesh, you really like that routine.
Copy !req
247. Expressing exclusivity with
a horn is such a cliché.
Copy !req
248. Darn it, this is an antenna!
Copy !req
249. Is there really any point in obsessing
over external differences?
Copy !req
250. Do looks really matter?
Copy !req
251. Sure, I'd say they do!
Copy !req
252. Togusa always carries around
a picture of his son,
Copy !req
253. making a fuss over which
parts resemble his.
Copy !req
254. See? Look.
Copy !req
255. The nose and eyebrows, and the line
from the cheek to jaw...
Copy !req
256. are all clearly traits
inherited from him.
Copy !req
257. Oh, I see...
Copy !req
258. Maybe the reason that Togusa doesn't
have any affection for machines...
Copy !req
259. is because he has a son
who shares his genes.
Copy !req
260. I guess that particular shape of theirs
really is important to humans, isn't it?
Copy !req
261. No, that's not right.
Copy !req
262. On the contrary, the problem is that
we're too close to being human.
Copy !req
263. It's because the line that separates
human from robot...
Copy !req
264. has already been reduced to minor
differences in the physical body.
Copy !req
265. Stop and think about why our own "bodies
without organs" aren't made to look human.
Copy !req
266. Efficiency as weapons, maybe?
Copy !req
267. That's part of it, but the more important
reason is that if we were humanoid,
Copy !req
268. our users would overempathize
with us in a weird way.
Copy !req
269. I think we'd be hated even more
if we were humanoid.
Copy !req
270. What about her, then?
Copy !req
271. She's okay because her processing
capabilities are limited.
Copy !req
272. She doesn't pose a threat
to humans.
Copy !req
273. She has to deal with humans
on a daily basis,
Copy !req
274. and to be the most versatile in human living
spaces, a humanoid form is most convenient.
Copy !req
275. Because every artificial object in the world
was made to be used by humans.
Copy !req
276. Oh, I see...
Copy !req
277. What the heck should
we do, then?
Copy !req
278. What I'm trying to say is that humans want
their machines to respond like machines.
Copy !req
279. Oh, I get it!
Copy !req
280. If we acted a little
more robotic...
Copy !req
281. maybe the Major
would like us.
Copy !req
282. Exactly!
Copy !req
283. Okay, let's call it
"I, Robot"!
Copy !req
284. - I am a robot...
- I am a robot...
Copy !req
285. I am a robot...
Copy !req
286. I can't do that anymore!
Copy !req
287. In the old days, I could be a simple robot
without thinking, but now...
Copy !req
288. That's because we really weren't
thinking about anything back then.
Copy !req
289. You've got to see gaining intelligence
in a more positive light!
Copy !req
290. "Better to be Socrates dissatisfied
than a pig satisfied," right?
Copy !req
291. I think you're misquoting
that a little bit.
Copy !req
292. The Major!
Copy !req
293. Good-afternoon-Major.
Copy !req
294. Good afternoon.
Have you seen Batou?
Copy !req
295. Yes-ma'am.
He-just-left-for-that-elevator-hall.
Copy !req
296. Oh.
Copy !req
297. Thanks.
Copy !req
298. Not-at-all.
You-are-welcome-ma'am.
Copy !req
299. What do you think?
Copy !req
300. I thought that went
pretty well, don't you?
Copy !req
301. I think you're right. That was a fairly
natural robotic greeting, I thought.
Copy !req
302. - Yahoo!
- It worked! Yay!
Copy !req
303. Hey, wait a minute... I wonder what
she wanted to talk to Batou about?
Copy !req
304. What's the deal? Why'd you
ask me to meet you here?
Copy !req
305. The vibe I'm getting says it's not so you
could come out and confess your love for me.
Copy !req
306. It was because this is the
only room in the building...
Copy !req
307. that can be completely
EM-shielded.
Copy !req
308. I can't hear anything...
Copy !req
309. "Show Batou the data
you showed me."
Copy !req
310. "What the hell is this?"
Copy !req
311. Just glance through it,
all right?
Copy !req
312. Have you spotted it?
Copy !req
313. There's a camouflaged Tachikoma
hanging from the corridor ceiling.
Copy !req
314. The Tachikoma
is reading our lips.
Copy !req
315. Pretend that you
haven't noticed.
Copy !req
316. We'll physically speak about something else
as we're talking via encrypted cybercomm.
Copy !req
317. What the hell?
Why go to all this trouble?
Copy !req
318. Well, what's going on?
Copy !req
319. What's Batou saying?
Copy !req
320. Wait a minute, okay?
Copy !req
321. Okay, let's see...
Copy !req
322. "To make a long
story short,"
Copy !req
323. "there's a big problem with your abilities
as a training instructor."
Copy !req
324. To make a long story short, the Tachikoma
have developed too far too quickly.
Copy !req
325. They've developed a sense of self
as autonomous individuals.
Copy !req
326. And it doesn't stop there.
Copy !req
327. They're expressing interest
in life and death,
Copy !req
328. and have begun to have questions
regarding their own state of being.
Copy !req
329. "Nurture their sense of self
as autonomous individuals."
Copy !req
330. "And don't stop there."
Copy !req
331. "Raise them so they'll become beings
who are interested in their own growth."
Copy !req
332. Hey, I'm not giving them natural oil
on the sly anymore, okay?
Copy !req
333. I'm not suspecting you
of doing that.
Copy !req
334. I wouldn't have a problem with this
if it had happened in a lab.
Copy !req
335. but for a weapon,
it's fatal.
Copy !req
336. "Hey, I'm not beating them up
on the sly anymore, okay?"
Copy !req
337. "I'm not suspecting you
of doing that."
Copy !req
338. Huh. It doesn't look like
they're talking about us.
Copy !req
