1. This is a city that's
lost its memory.Copy !req
2. But Memories sometimes suddenly
appear out of the darkness.Copy !req
3. Vous si gentil...Copy !req
4. This phantom that Major Dan Dastun
caught a glimpse of...Copy !req
5. Was it really an afterimage of
something he saw long, long ago?Copy !req
6. Vous si gentil...Copy !req
7. What's the matter?Copy !req
8. I was dreaming.Copy !req
9. Dreaming?Copy !req
10. Every once in a while, I keep
having the same dream.Copy !req
11. It's probably from when
I still had memories.Copy !req
12. Casualties?Copy !req
13. Including Sam Lawrence, an old-timer
in the Paradigm Justice Department...Copy !req
14. and two of his secretaries,
it comes to 46.Copy !req
15. They all died instantly.Copy !req
16. In other words, 43 were
innocent bystanders.Copy !req
17. The M.O. is about the same as the bombing
at the Department of Justice ten days ago.Copy !req
18. What's the bomber after?Copy !req
19. Why's he only after old men who have
already retired from Paradigm?Copy !req
20. Major Dastun.Copy !req
21. They say they've recovered
part of the detonator.Copy !req
22. It should give us some clues.Copy !req
23. I hope so.Copy !req
24. Dan Dastun is a hard-nosed soldier.Copy !req
25. He's thoroughly devoted
to his duties,Copy !req
26. and is prouder of the work of the
Military Police than anything else.Copy !req
27. In a different sense, he's as
needed in this city as I am.Copy !req
28. An unknown language?Copy !req
29. I'm not sure if it's
accurate to call it that,Copy !req
30. but some illegible letters were
carved on part of the device.Copy !req
31. This is it.Copy !req
32. He's most likely a man to whom
romance has nothing to say.Copy !req
33. What do you want?Copy !req
34. Nothing, really.Copy !req
35. I was in the area,
so I thought I'd drop in.Copy !req
36. You expect me to believe that?Copy !req
37. It does happen sometimes.Copy !req
38. I don't know what this change of
heart is, but your timing's bad.Copy !req
39. I'm up in front of an inquiry.Copy !req
40. Do you know what
"Vous si gentil" means?Copy !req
41. No, I've never heard
that language before.Copy !req
42. Didn't think so.Copy !req
43. As I've already explained,Copy !req
44. this string of terrorist bombings
has inexplicable elements to it.Copy !req
45. So, you're insisting that the bomber
is from somewhere other than the city.Copy !req
46. In other words,
from another country?Copy !req
47. I'm just saying that
it's a possibility.Copy !req
48. Preposterous! The world's
been wiped out.Copy !req
49. Paradigm City is all that
remains of civilization.Copy !req
50. Begging your pardon,
sir, but I don't...Copy !req
51. The Military Police are
to go on full alert...Copy !req
52. and root out the violent
elements that infest the city.Copy !req
53. At once!Copy !req
54. Is this for the best?Copy !req
55. That man is in contact with that
Negotiator from time to time.Copy !req
56. There's no need to make a fuss.Copy !req
57. It won't hurt my plans for people to
learn of the existence of foreigners.Copy !req
58. On the contrary, it may
even prove beneficial.Copy !req
59. That board of inquiry
can kiss my ass!Copy !req
60. Those bastards only think
of us as stupid watchdogs!Copy !req
61. Aren't we?Copy !req
62. We are Paradigm's
watchdogs, right?Copy !req
63. I don't follow you, sir.Copy !req
64. Just as I said.Copy !req
65. Dastun, I'm taking you
off the investigation.Copy !req
66. Pressure from the inquiry board, sir?Copy !req
67. Think of it as a paid vacation.
Take it easy for a while.Copy !req
68. Major Dastun.Copy !req
69. One of these days, you need to
learn what justice is really about.Copy !req
70. As far as I know, I
understand it perfectly, sir.Copy !req
71. Tell me! Who are you?Copy !req
72. The terrorist bombing was again
targeted at a retired elder employee.Copy !req
73. 26 passengers on a nearby city
bus were killed in the explosion.Copy !req
74. As well as a young police
officer who was on guard duty.Copy !req
75. Wait! Please, stop!Copy !req
76. I've never had a guest
this late before.Copy !req
77. I doubt this is about a job
offer, right, Major Dastun?Copy !req
78. Sorry. My feet just brought me here.Copy !req
79. It happens sometimes.Copy !req
80. It don't know when I saw it,Copy !req
81. but I know that the dream is a scene
from an old movie I saw as a kid.Copy !req
82. Snow was falling quietly onto a winter
sea that chills you to the bone.Copy !req
83. The woman was shot.
Probably by the man she loved.Copy !req
84. "Vous si gentil"?Copy !req
85. It's probably the language
of some other country.Copy !req
86. That's probably where
the movie was from.Copy !req
87. So you saw the woman from
your dream in the flesh?Copy !req
88. Go ahead and laugh. My head
must be totally screwed up.Copy !req
89. If there's anything I can do
to help, just let me know.Copy !req
90. Taking pity on your old boss?Copy !req
91. No. I'm just a friend
who likes to meddle.Copy !req
92. Dastun returned to duty
several days later.Copy !req
93. It was highly irregular, but no
one voiced any complaints.Copy !req
94. In this city, the decisions handed
down by a certain man are law.Copy !req
95. But at this point, I don't care.Copy !req
96. I'm just doing my best as a pro.Copy !req
97. The woman Dastun saw...
Even if she's really an illusion,Copy !req
98. he probably has to find an
answer that will satisfy him.Copy !req
99. This is sure a
mismatched scene...Copy !req
100. Oliver Garland, senior member
of the Justice Department,Copy !req
101. will be giving a speech tonight
in front of some children.Copy !req
102. He represents the management of
the amusement park, I hear.Copy !req
103. At a dangerous time like this?Copy !req
104. I think the smartest thing to
do would be to call it off.Copy !req
105. There's no figuring out how
a politician's mind works.Copy !req
106. All we can do is faithfully
carry out our duties.Copy !req
107. That's something that's
never changed about you.Copy !req
108. Anyway, why don't you get to it?Copy !req
109. You didn't come all the way
here just to be sarcastic.Copy !req
110. The woman in your memories was
a real actress named Sybil Rowan.Copy !req
111. But the only movie she starred in, Winter
Night Phantom, doesn't exist anymore.Copy !req
112. They were all burned
thirty years ago...Copy !req
113. I learned that when
Paradigm City was founded,Copy !req
114. the current elders, who assisted the
original chairman, Gordon Rosewater,Copy !req
115. expelled everyone with anti-government
leanings from the city.Copy !req
116. Including that woman, Sybil...Copy !req
117. Her beauty made her a symbol for
the anti-government groups.Copy !req
118. Then, after severe pressure...Copy !req
119. they say she was thrown
into prison and died.Copy !req
120. Died?Copy !req
121. I also heard a rumor
along these lines:Copy !req
122. They say that Sybil Rowan came
from a country far away.Copy !req
123. Those are all the facts
that anybody knows now.Copy !req
124. As for the phantom woman,
I still haven't...Copy !req
125. Forget it. That's enough.Copy !req
126. I'll repay you later.Copy !req
127. All right.Copy !req
128. Buy me a drink or something sometime.Copy !req
129. Are all checkpoints secure?Copy !req
130. There's no sign of explosives being
snuck inside the perimeter.Copy !req
131. And even if the terrorists
did try to get in,Copy !req
132. they'd never be able to break
through our security.Copy !req
133. What is that?Copy !req
134. Shit!Copy !req
135. What a crude entrance.Copy !req
136. Still, I suppose it's an appropriate
toy for crude foreigners.Copy !req
137. Where? Where are they?Copy !req
138. It can't be!Copy !req
139. Big O! Showtime!Copy !req
140. Tell me! Who are you?Copy !req
141. A phantom.Copy !req
142. A phantom?Copy !req
143. One who grants eternal sleep
to an accursed past.Copy !req
144. I can't believe they're
using a robot bomb!Copy !req
145. So I can't just go in swinging, huh?Copy !req
146. I don't know what you're after, but
I swear you won't get away with it!Copy !req
147. What you're doing is murder,
plain and simple!Copy !req
148. You pathetic lapdog
of the authorities...Copy !req
149. That's right! But even a
watchdog has his pride!Copy !req
150. Thanks for the help!Copy !req
151. Why did you do it?Copy !req
152. I did what I thought was right.Copy !req
153. And so did you.
That's all it amounts to.Copy !req
154. It's strange...Copy !req
155. I feel like I've known it would turn
out like this for a long, long, time...Copy !req
156. I knew, too. For as long
as I can remember.Copy !req
157. You're crying?Copy !req
158. Vous si gentil...Copy !req
159. There are no records of Sybil Rowan
having had a young daughter.Copy !req
160. Not to mention...Copy !req
161. No, whatever the truth may be, there's no
need to keep digging up the lost past.Copy !req
162. For Dan Dastun, those memories of a
far-off day may have been an illusion.Copy !req
