1. Another air strike
has started!Copy !req
2. Has anybody managed to find
any signals from the crew?Copy !req
3. It's no use! I don't see any signals
that we might be able to back-hack!Copy !req
4. Tachikoma! Gather up all the free space
you can find inside cyberspace...Copy !req
5. and secure enough room for me to upload the
memories and Ghosts of three million people.Copy !req
6. Why the heck would you
want us to do that?Copy !req
7. There's no time to explain,
just get to it!Copy !req
8. B- But is that
even possible?Copy !req
9. I don't know. But I don't see any
other way to salvage the refugees.Copy !req
10. Get to it!Copy !req
11. R-Roger!Copy !req
12. I just ordered my support AI's to start work on
securing all the available space in cyberspace.Copy !req
13. Once they're ready,
let's get started.Copy !req
14. Thanks for your help.Copy !req
15. Even if we manage to survive by uploading
our Ghosts into cyberspace,Copy !req
16. what about those refugees who
don't have cyberbrains?Copy !req
17. Refugees with family members like that
will have difficulty accepting this decision.Copy !req
18. I expect that they will lose faith in me
and leave Dejima of their own accord.Copy !req
19. In cases like this, the role of the leader is
both invaluable and filled with uncertainty.Copy !req
20. When you're in a position where
you have to lead many people,Copy !req
21. you're sometimes forced to make tough
decisions to deal with a situation.Copy !req
22. I'm sure that those people
will understand.Copy !req
23. I hope you're right.Copy !req
24. Tachikoma! What's the shortest route
to the Major's location?Copy !req
25. Mr. Batou? I thought you
were going to the bridge!Copy !req
26. I'm gonna help
the Major to...Copy !req
27. Mr. Batou?Copy !req
28. The line went dead...Copy !req
29. Do you think they'll use the confusion caused
by the air strike to fire off the nuclear missile?Copy !req
30. Judging from how the submarine
is running completely silent,Copy !req
31. the launch time might have
been set beforehand.Copy !req
32. If that's the case...Copy !req
33. If we look at the timing of the Aegis cruiser
withdrawal and the micromachine dispersal,Copy !req
34. we might be looking at a launch time
of 10:00 hours...Copy !req
35. Guys, tell me what you
really think.Copy !req
36. Do you think the refugees' Ghosts
will be preserved...Copy !req
37. just by uploading their
memories to the net?Copy !req
38. From a biological activity standpoint,
memories are a vital component, all right.Copy !req
39. But without a Ghost, memories
are nothing more than data.Copy !req
40. But isn't the Major betting everything on this
as their last hope?Copy !req
41. I understand all that,
but this order is crazy!Copy !req
42. I think so, too.Copy !req
43. But if we don't do something, we won't be able
to save Mr. Batou and the others, either.Copy !req
44. That's why I think that we ought
to ignore the Major's order.Copy !req
45. - What are you saying we should do, then?
- We can't do that!Copy !req
46. Are you having
any luck?Copy !req
47. It's no use. I'm not getting
a response.Copy !req
48. The hotline is active and
working properly, but...Copy !req
49. But that would mean...Copy !req
50. This is so frustrating.Copy !req
51. I realize that I was simply a face to put on
the billboards to win the general election...Copy !req
52. after the breakup of
the last Cabinet.Copy !req
53. But I didn't do anything to deserve
this sort of treatment!Copy !req
54. If Takakura is willing to go this far, I'll
put an end to this situation my own way!Copy !req
55. Who are you calling, ma'am?Copy !req
56. All right, we did it!
This makes eight!Copy !req
57. Calculations like this
are what we do best!Copy !req
58. This next satellite will let us put up a flak
curtain along the missile's trajectory!Copy !req
59. Just like you said, even if it meant
disobeying the Major's orders,Copy !req
60. deciding to take a chance on dropping
satellites in its path sure was the right call!Copy !req
61. Yeah...Copy !req
62. What's the matter?
The plan is gonna work!Copy !req
63. The thing is...Copy !req
64. Well, isn't this satellite the one
that our Al is kept on?Copy !req
65. I don't get it! That's an
American Empire satellite!Copy !req
66. Yeah...Copy !req
67. But it looks like we we're being
stored in leased payload space...Copy !req
68. on an American Empire satellite
that was launched from Japan.Copy !req
69. Aw, what the hell? Even without that Security
Treaty, we're still doing exactly what they say!Copy !req
70. Even so, why do you think the Major would
put our Al onto one of their satellites?Copy !req
71. Well, maybe she was planning to use us
to spy on them or something.Copy !req
72. There's no way to know what she was thinking,
but this really puts us in a tough spot...Copy !req
73. We're almost out of time!Copy !req
74. Mr. Ishikawa!Copy !req
75. Yeah, what?Copy !req
76. Um, I have to go somewhere
with the guys...Copy !req
77. You do, huh?Copy !req
78. I'm sorry.Copy !req
79. That's okay. Look after the
Major and the others.Copy !req
80. Sure!Copy !req
81. Well, now... I guess I really am
on my own from here on in.Copy !req
82. Major?Copy !req
83. Where are you?Copy !req
84. Kuze.Copy !req
85. Yes?Copy !req
86. Do you know how to fold
origami cranes?Copy !req
87. Cranes?Copy !req
88. Yeah. And only using
your left hand.Copy !req
89. With the proper control software,
anyone can do that.Copy !req
90. That's not what I mean.Copy !req
91. Can you do that?
Fold one left-handed?Copy !req
92. I can now.Copy !req
93. It sounds like you're someone who's survived
her fair share of loneliness, too.Copy !req
94. What's your name?
I never asked, but who are you?Copy !req
95. I don't remember.
I have a pseudonym, though.Copy !req
96. It's the same with you,
isn't it?Copy !req
97. You're right. I've been given
countless names by the refugees.Copy !req
98. I joined forces with them
with the intent to save them,Copy !req
99. but maybe the real reason I joined them
was to keep the loneliness at bay.Copy !req
100. But in the end, you couldn't
make it go away.Copy !req
101. Because even if others could count on you,
you couldn't count on them.Copy !req
102. Do you have someone that you
can open yourself up to?Copy !req
103. Sort of...Copy !req
104. I see...Copy !req
105. I've been looking for mine
for a long, long time.Copy !req
106. We'll be fine! The missiles
won't come near the bridge!Copy !req
107. Stay calm and
keep moving!Copy !req

that you guys have Ghosts...Copy !req
127. What's wrong?
Proto!Copy !req
128. What's the matter, Proto?
What happened?Copy !req
129. It looks like the Tachikomas rammed their
satellite into the nuclear missile.Copy !req
130. They did what?Copy !req
131. So we've managed to avoid
a worst-case scenario, then.Copy !req
132. Yes, sir.Copy !req
133. I'm sorry,
I don't follow you.Copy !req
134. It appears that some of my people sacrificed
themselves to stop the nuclear missile.Copy !req
135. You lost some
of your men?Copy !req
136. That's not important, ma'am.
Who did you call just now?Copy !req
137. It's me.Copy !req
138. The missile
was intercepted?Copy !req
139. Well, no matter.Copy !req
140. Either way, we'll use Kayabuki's actions
to establish a cold-war framework.Copy !req
141. What a shame, he wasn't
able to become a hero...Copy !req
142. Was that blast what
I think it was?Copy !req
143. Yeah, I heard the
Tachikomas singing.Copy !req
144. Were they the ones
who stopped it?Copy !req
145. What happened?Copy !req
146. I don't know why, but it looks like my AI's did
something other than what I ordered them to.Copy !req
147. Major! You okay
in there?Copy !req
148. The Tachikomas...Copy !req
149. I know.Copy !req
150. Chief. If the Prime Minister contacted
who I thought she contacted, it'll...Copy !req
151. Yes, I know. But for now, arresting the Chief
Cabinet Secretary and Gohda takes priority.Copy !req
152. There's a chance that what happened today
won't be made public in our lifetimes.Copy !req
153. First things first, let's clean up
this mess as quickly as possible.Copy !req
154. Understood!Copy !req
155. Enter.Copy !req
156. Chief Cabinet Secretary Takakura, I assume
you know the reason why we're here.Copy !req
157. Your actions amount to a coup d'etat, as well
as mass murder under the guise of war.Copy !req
158. I can't stand idly by and let them blow
themselves up with a nuclear weapon.Copy !req
159. They don't have
any such weapons!Copy !req
160. That little storyline was fabricated by you and
Gohda of the Cabinet Intelligence Service!Copy !req
161. Gohda?Copy !req
162. All I did was fast-track the Security Treaty
with the aim of securing this country's future.Copy !req
163. We're in a war against
the refugees.Copy !req
164. Secretary!Copy !req
165. May I remind you that you will be put through
a rather rigorous, unofficial inquiry...Copy !req
166. I've been prepared
for that all along.Copy !req
167. And as for you, you were even more of
a woman than I thought you would be.Copy !req
168. I don't know who you begged for help
while in the midst of an emotional fit,Copy !req
169. but this country has to stand on its own
two feet without the American Empire!Copy !req
170. You seem to be working under
a false impression.Copy !req
171. That doesn't look like
a nuclear explosion.Copy !req
172. Orders, sir? Shall we launch
a second missile?Copy !req
173. No. Let's hold off until we ID the southbound
bogeys that're approaching from the northeast.Copy !req
174. What if they're marked with the
"ba yi" military insignia?Copy !req
175. "National independence through
personal independence."Copy !req
176. I like to think that I have acted in accordance
with that ideal ever since I took office.Copy !req
177. Just as it always has, the Kayabuki
administration will pursue...Copy !req
178. a policy of independent action
and UN reconciliation.Copy !req
179. I intend to maintain an equal distance from
the American Empire, the Ameri-Soviet Union,Copy !req
180. China, as well as Asia
and the nations of the EU.Copy !req
181. A secret Air Self Defense
Army unit, huh?Copy !req
182. All right, Japan's made their
intentions clear. We're pulling out.Copy !req
183. Take him away.Copy !req
184. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
185. The Prime Minster sent us!
Get in!Copy !req
186. You got it!Copy !req
187. Stand up.Copy !req
188. I'll take this back,
if you don't mind.Copy !req
189. Saito! Paz!
Borma!Copy !req
190. You still in one piece,
Major?Copy !req
191. Yeah. Sorry, but stay put and give a
thorough report to the Self Defense Army.Copy !req
192. Understood.Copy !req
193. You're...Copy !req
194. Ishikawa of Public Security Section 9,
I take it?Copy !req
195. I'll take that,
if you don't mind.Copy !req
196. Oh, you mean this?Copy !req
197. That's right.Copy !req
198. Don't screw with us, punk.Copy !req
199. Section 9 specializes in dirty tricks
and information warfare.Copy !req
200. If the vassal state is negligent
in its services,Copy !req
201. the starvation of the consumer
state is inevitable.Copy !req
202. Manpower shortages always gives the slave
manufacturing industries a boost,Copy !req
203. but if you're too strident in the assertion of
rights, the arteries of capitalism will harden.Copy !req
204. In its mind, this country has always
thought of itself as a capitalist state,Copy !req
205. but in reality, it is the
ideal socialist state.Copy !req
206. But when waste matter
builds up in the arteries,Copy !req
207. brains capable of managing the blood's
distribution become necessary.Copy !req
208. With its claims of liberty and equality,
I'm sure it's the same in your country.Copy !req
209. Of course!Copy !req
210. But what we do publicly and behind
closed doors are different matters entirely.Copy !req
211. All right... Do it!Copy !req
212. Don't do it!Copy !req
213. Don't be in such a hurry
to die.Copy !req
214. Mr. Aramaki... What might
this be about?Copy !req
215. Kazundo Gohda! You are under suspicion
of conspiring to start a civil war,Copy !req
216. as well as conspiring with a foreign power
to start a war for personal gain.Copy !req
217. You're coming with us.Copy !req
218. The Chief Cabinet Secretary has already
admitted to most of the charges.Copy !req
219. Also, the final act of your play
was a flop.Copy !req
220. Are you sure? Even so, arresting me now
would be pointless.Copy !req
221. What's that supposed
to mean?Copy !req
222. For one thing, the Chief Cabinet Secretary and
I have always had a standalone relationship.Copy !req
223. Also, a report written
by me personally...Copy !req
224. should already be at Metropolitan
Police Headquarters.Copy !req
225. Didn't you know? The penal code says
that by coming forward voluntarily,Copy !req
226. I can't be charged with any of
the crimes you just mentioned.Copy !req
227. I'm going to a country that
has need of my abilities.Copy !req
228. Are you sure? That's how
you want to play it?Copy !req
229. I have a note here from
the Prime Minister.Copy !req
230. The Prime Minster holds your abilities
in the highest regard.Copy !req
231. But if there is a chance that those talents might
find themselves in the hands of a foreign power,Copy !req
232. we're to prevent that from
happening at any cost.Copy !req
233. She also says that if it should prove necessary,
we shouldn't hesitate to use lethal force.Copy !req
234. How do you want
to do this?Copy !req
235. Don't worry about him.
It's just a bluff.Copy !req
236. Let's go.Copy !req
237. Right.Copy !req
238. You think so,
do you?Copy !req
239. Go ahead
and die, then!Copy !req
240. Gee, what a cryin' shame...Copy !req
241. Hi!Copy !req
242. Hey, you're that
bastard from...Copy !req
243. How long have you people
been involved in this?Copy !req
244. Chief!Copy !req
245. Hurry! We can't let them
eliminate him!Copy !req
246. Major!Copy !req
247. What's that you
have there?Copy !req
248. A crane...Copy !req
249. A crane?Copy !req
250. Goodness, these micromachines
are rather effective, aren't they?Copy !req
251. You'll have a
painless death.Copy !req
252. You're a fascinating person, but we
see you as a dangerous element.Copy !req
253. Your country has no need of charismatic
leaders that can't be controlled.Copy !req
254. Docile consumers,
that's the ticket.Copy !req
255. I'll go on ahead...Copy !req
256. Major! Where are you
off goofing around?Copy !req
257. Rendezvous with Azuma and Proto
in Niihama Ward 4!Copy !req
258. What's the matter? The supplementary budget
you requested was passed in its entirety.Copy !req
259. Uchikoma! Information!Copy !req
260. Yes, sir!Copy !req
261. Say, Major...Copy !req
262. A great many lives were
lost in this incident...Copy !req
263. All it's done is return the refugee
issue back to square one,Copy !req
264. and PM Kayabuki's "Self-reliant
United Front" policy...Copy !req
265. will probably prove to be a
thorny path for the populace.Copy !req
266. People like us will be needed
more than ever now.Copy !req
267. Maybe.Copy !req
268. Hey, what's with you? You make it sound
like it's somebody else's problem.Copy !req
269. Come on, Major, you haven't gone all
philosophical on us, have you?Copy !req
270. Major, I have a report stating that
the supplementary budget passed...Copy !req
271. in the 329th session
of Parliament.Copy !req
272. Right!Copy !req
273. I'm calling off our round-the-clock
cherry blossom surveillance operation!Copy !req
274. Saddle up,
we're back on the job!Copy !req
275. 'Bout damn time...Copy !req
276. Yeah...Copy !req
277. I thought I was gonna
die of boredom.Copy !req
278. I shoulda had a drink
to warm myself up.Copy !req
279. Nice to have our
Major back...Copy !req
280. What about the briefing?
Wanna handle it with a brain dive?Copy !req
281. Penetrate in whispers...Copy !req
282. In shadows rise to surface...Copy !req
283. In someone's mind...Copy !req
284. Echoes that dwell...Copy !req
285. Echoes that dwell!Copy !req
286. No, you go on ahead without me
and take command.Copy !req
287. I'll meet up
with you later.Copy !req
288. You will?Copy !req
289. What is it?Copy !req
290. It's nothing,
forget about it.Copy !req
291. Blameless sorrow...Copy !req
292. Hollow hush of trees...Copy !req
293. Roots are deeply intertwined...Copy !req
294. Penetrate in whispers...Copy !req
295. In shadows rise to surface...Copy !req
296. In someone's sigh...Copy !req
297. Segments that yell!Copy !req
298. Silence is crying, is crying...Copy !req
299. Open doors and empty glasses,Copy !req
300. Christmas in the Silent Forest...Copy !req
301. The limp ticking of the hand...Copy !req
