﻿1
00:00:23,378 --> 00:00:25,088
Come on, take a load off.

2
00:00:25,172 --> 00:00:27,299
You want a proper
home-cooked meal, don't you?

3
00:00:27,382 --> 00:00:29,676
You put in a hard day at work,
so you deserve it!

4
00:00:31,678 --> 00:00:33,930
<i>Your old man is a big ol' dummy.</i>

5
00:00:34,556 --> 00:00:36,975
<i>I can't tell her that I'll be
busted back down to beat cop</i>

6
00:00:37,058 --> 00:00:40,228
<i>because I messed up big time
and made trouble for everyone.</i>

7
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:46,526
Just to make a glass of water
this size, it takes...

8
00:00:46,818 --> 00:00:48,695
Just let it go.

9
00:00:51,156 --> 00:00:53,200
That was quite a punch.

10
00:00:55,410 --> 00:00:57,287
A toast to the victor.

11
00:00:58,371 --> 00:01:00,373
The Minister and I
don't see things the same way.

12
00:01:02,417 --> 00:01:03,919
That much is obvious.

13
00:01:04,002 --> 00:01:07,798
The Minister would never test me to see
whether or not I'd storm an orphanage.

14
00:01:07,881 --> 00:01:11,718
He had a meltdown and declared
the unit get dissolved immediately.

15
00:01:11,802 --> 00:01:13,303
The papers were backdated to yesterday,

16
00:01:13,386 --> 00:01:15,597
and the Minister of Defense
already signed off on it.

17
00:01:15,847 --> 00:01:18,308
I have two pieces of news for you.

18
00:01:18,850 --> 00:01:20,936
One piece of news is good,
and one piece is bad.

19
00:01:21,228 --> 00:01:23,897
You'll remember that I told you
the budget to form your unit

20
00:01:23,980 --> 00:01:25,524
was passed by the National Council, right?

21
00:01:25,607 --> 00:01:27,234
That was just a placeholder.

22
00:01:27,317 --> 00:01:30,278
The real thing is triple
the budget amount you requested,

23
00:01:30,362 --> 00:01:32,906
and will be used to create
an international rescue unit.

24
00:01:32,989 --> 00:01:35,951
That way, nobody can say we aren't doing
anything to help as civilians die

25
00:01:36,034 --> 00:01:38,495
or that we're buying peace
with cold, hard cash.

26
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:41,248
But that's just for public consumption.

27
00:01:41,915 --> 00:01:46,253
The budget's 80% is founding capital
earmarked to create a Shell Squad.

28
00:01:46,336 --> 00:01:48,964
It will answer only to the PM,
and I'll be running the show.

29
00:01:49,047 --> 00:01:52,551
It'll be a meritocracy with no ranks.
The unit's guiding principle...

30
00:01:53,885 --> 00:01:56,847
will be to seek out crime
and nip it in the bud.

31
00:01:56,930 --> 00:01:59,474
An organization that
will always be on the offensive,

32
00:01:59,766 --> 00:02:01,560
the kind that you and I
have dreamed of.

33
00:02:01,643 --> 00:02:04,271
How well it does
will be up to you and your team.

34
00:02:22,497 --> 00:02:25,458
Another round of whatever
they were having, on me.

35
00:02:25,667 --> 00:02:28,545
They were cut from the budget,
saying they were a waste of money.

36
00:02:29,296 --> 00:02:31,840
Go over those contracts
and bring them signed,

37
00:02:31,923 --> 00:02:33,258
tomorrow morning at 6 sharp.

38
00:02:33,341 --> 00:02:36,386
At 8 a.m., you'll be at the collection
of all of those brainwashing devices.

39
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,846
I'll be waiting.

40
00:02:42,809 --> 00:02:44,269
He pulled one over on everybody.

41
00:02:44,352 --> 00:02:46,521
The Minister, that orphanage, and even us.

42
00:02:46,605 --> 00:02:50,150
This means that the whole "orphanage
gone rogue" thing was total BS, too.

43
00:02:52,485 --> 00:02:54,446
Did I miss a good show?

44
00:02:54,946 --> 00:02:57,699
And I've got one other
fun bit of information.

45
00:02:58,074 --> 00:03:00,744
I spotted that Ape-face's car
right outside.

46
00:03:00,827 --> 00:03:02,996
I planted some fireworks
in the tire wells.

47
00:03:08,209 --> 00:03:10,170
Oh, crap.

48
00:03:10,462 --> 00:03:11,546
Chief!

49
00:03:15,508 --> 00:03:17,886
Already hard at work, I see.
Hand it off to Vehicle Division.

50
00:03:20,263 --> 00:03:22,515
Son of a...
He outsmarted us again!

51
00:03:22,724 --> 00:03:23,767
Chief!

52
00:03:26,311 --> 00:03:28,480
Make sure our paychecks
have lots of zeroes.

53
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:35,904
It's time for lunch already.

54
00:03:35,987 --> 00:03:37,989
Work harder, people!

55
00:03:38,573 --> 00:03:40,700
I won't be able to afford meat
or air conditioning!

56
00:03:40,784 --> 00:03:44,037
The reason we don't get snacks
is because people are gaming the system.

57
00:05:19,007 --> 00:05:20,467
{\an8}THREE MONTHS LATER

58
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:34,856
{\an8}JULY 27, 2029

59
00:05:46,284 --> 00:05:47,869
I'm roasting alive!

60
00:05:47,952 --> 00:05:49,412
To hell with this!

61
00:05:49,954 --> 00:05:53,124
<i>How am I supposed to stay in here
if I can't use the damn AC?!</i>

62
00:05:53,208 --> 00:05:55,043
<i>I'm out of here!</i>

63
00:05:55,585 --> 00:05:58,379
<i>Nobody's gonna spot me in daylight
all camo'd up like this.</i>

64
00:05:59,130 --> 00:06:03,802
<i>Plus, I ain't cut out for
round-the-clock surveillance work!</i>

65
00:06:05,428 --> 00:06:08,556
<i>Pressure sensors and
a Gorgon land mine?</i>

66
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,641
<i>A dummy?</i>

67
00:06:10,433 --> 00:06:13,478
<i>It's real?! That's no way to set up
a mine like this!</i>

68
00:06:13,561 --> 00:06:15,605
<i>I'll take this beauty home with me.</i>

69
00:06:30,036 --> 00:06:31,287
It's me.

70
00:06:31,371 --> 00:06:32,580
Has there been any activity?

71
00:06:34,249 --> 00:06:38,586
In the past 32 hours, there's just been
two phone calls about nothing important.

72
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,755
Other than that, there's been zilch.

73
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,133
No staff change, no deliveries, nothing.

74
00:06:43,216 --> 00:06:44,801
Go on, have a swig.

75
00:06:45,677 --> 00:06:47,053
Thanks, don't mind if I do!

76
00:06:48,721 --> 00:06:50,056
This is watered down.

77
00:06:50,306 --> 00:06:52,642
Just like the intel we got
from our Korean contact,

78
00:06:52,725 --> 00:06:56,146
the "Puppet Master" has begun tampering
with every terminal on the net.

79
00:06:56,229 --> 00:06:58,815
That mysterious super-hacker
that no one's ever seen?

80
00:06:58,898 --> 00:07:00,733
They've got something to do
with this stakeout?

81
00:07:00,817 --> 00:07:03,153
Their activity pattern suggest
that they're trying

82
00:07:03,236 --> 00:07:06,531
to interfere with the upcoming
secret meeting with the Gavel Republic.

83
00:07:06,781 --> 00:07:09,909
Then the secret meeting
ain't so secret, is it?

84
00:07:09,993 --> 00:07:13,121
Is the guy I've been surveilling
the source of the leaked intel?

85
00:07:13,204 --> 00:07:16,457
He's the former leader of its military
junta that's requesting asylum in Japan.

86
00:07:16,541 --> 00:07:17,709
Nothing more than that.

87
00:07:17,792 --> 00:07:19,502
You came all this way to tell me that?

88
00:07:19,586 --> 00:07:23,089
No. Summon Kusanagi
on your team's comm channel.

89
00:07:23,173 --> 00:07:25,383
Tell her to come to Flat 17.

90
00:07:25,466 --> 00:07:27,510
Huh? But the Major's on summer vacation.

91
00:07:27,594 --> 00:07:29,345
Her leave is cancelled.

92
00:07:51,826 --> 00:07:52,702
How's this feel?

93
00:08:00,001 --> 00:08:01,836
Sorry to keep you waiting!

94
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,504
Huh? Where's Phalanx?

95
00:08:03,588 --> 00:08:06,382
Enjoying herself
with an Endorno probe! Boooo!

96
00:08:06,507 --> 00:08:07,884
I'd say it's time for a price hike.

97
00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:13,014
I have to say, having someone like Motoko
with 16 squared tactile sensor elements

98
00:08:13,097 --> 00:08:15,016
takes the resolution
to a whole nother level.

99
00:08:15,099 --> 00:08:18,186
It uses optical fibers,
so it's immune to EM interference.

100
00:08:18,436 --> 00:08:21,397
Wait, your haptic region multiplier
goes up to 5?

101
00:08:21,481 --> 00:08:24,901
Now where did you get your hands
on such a naughty little equalizer?

102
00:08:24,984 --> 00:08:28,112
I put it together.
It's designed to work with micromachines.

103
00:08:28,196 --> 00:08:29,239
It's a prototype!

104
00:08:29,322 --> 00:08:30,949
I can feel the adrenaline.

105
00:08:46,130 --> 00:08:48,091
Oh dear! What's this?!

106
00:08:52,262 --> 00:08:54,472
Endorphins? This is bad!

107
00:09:05,358 --> 00:09:08,152
I can feel it in my stomach!
I'm gonna be sick!

108
00:09:08,236 --> 00:09:11,114
You're all slippery and slimy!
Are you a slug or something?

109
00:09:11,572 --> 00:09:14,951
<i>Thank goodness you were playing with
an organ that didn't have any terminals!</i>

110
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,580
<i>Damn it, don't treat that Ghost key
like a toy!</i>

111
00:09:19,664 --> 00:09:20,957
<i>What do you want?</i>

112
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,877
<i>Emergency meeting.
Aramaki's waiting at Flat 17.</i>

113
00:09:24,961 --> 00:09:27,588
<i>Tell him to expect me there in 20.</i>

114
00:09:28,631 --> 00:09:30,633
Darn it, you always do this!

115
00:09:30,717 --> 00:09:33,386
You said you'd devote
your whole vacation to us!

116
00:09:33,803 --> 00:09:35,596
Vacation's over.

117
00:09:38,016 --> 00:09:40,560
When you leave, do me a favor
and activate the room's seal.

118
00:09:40,643 --> 00:09:41,686
I'll call you later, okay?

119
00:09:41,769 --> 00:09:44,522
Hey! Gimme back my equalizer!

120
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,900
The interpreter's condition
has stabilized.

121
00:09:48,526 --> 00:09:50,528
Someone seems to be butting in.

122
00:09:50,611 --> 00:09:51,988
It must be Aramaki.

123
00:09:52,071 --> 00:09:52,989
Yes, sir.

124
00:09:53,156 --> 00:09:55,366
Don't do anything unless I tell you to.

125
00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:11,299
Good morning, Minister!

126
00:10:11,591 --> 00:10:15,011
Hello, Aramaki. What can
the Foreign Ministry help you with?

127
00:10:16,846 --> 00:10:19,057
It's about the Gavel Republic.

128
00:10:20,224 --> 00:10:23,269
Utility, 6. Trouble, 1. Rank E.

129
00:10:23,353 --> 00:10:25,271
They're not very important, I'd say.

130
00:10:25,355 --> 00:10:27,482
For the time being,
they don't have nukes, either.

131
00:10:27,565 --> 00:10:31,986
Diplomatically and economically,
they're a little nation of little import.

132
00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:33,613
It was originally under military rule,

133
00:10:33,696 --> 00:10:37,200
but they've been reasonably democratic
ever since their revolution.

134
00:10:37,283 --> 00:10:40,078
One of your subordinates
provided tactical instruction

135
00:10:40,161 --> 00:10:42,080
to the revolutionary army, as I recall.

136
00:10:42,288 --> 00:10:44,082
Oh, is that so?

137
00:10:44,207 --> 00:10:46,000
Col. Malles,
the former leader of the junta,

138
00:10:46,084 --> 00:10:50,630
is currently residing in our country under
the pretext of seeking medical treatment.

139
00:10:50,838 --> 00:10:53,966
He doggedly continues to funnel aid
to the pro-junta faction.

140
00:10:54,050 --> 00:10:58,304
As a result, the pro-junta faction still
controls the country's platinum deposits.

141
00:10:58,388 --> 00:11:00,515
What is this secret meeting about, then?

142
00:11:00,723 --> 00:11:02,850
ODA that won't do any good.

143
00:11:02,934 --> 00:11:05,520
It isn't money that was earned,
so it won't be used responsibly,

144
00:11:05,603 --> 00:11:07,730
and since it's viewed as payoff
for past exploitation,

145
00:11:07,814 --> 00:11:09,565
it won't earn us any gratitude.

146
00:11:10,274 --> 00:11:11,859
That's a tough spot you're in.

147
00:11:11,943 --> 00:11:15,071
The press is bound to run
some off-the-record statements.

148
00:11:15,405 --> 00:11:17,407
So, what is the government's position?

149
00:11:17,615 --> 00:11:19,909
The situation is delicate in the extreme.

150
00:11:19,992 --> 00:11:23,287
If we don't get the lay of the land, it'll
make managing public opinion difficult.

151
00:11:23,371 --> 00:11:26,457
Do we kick out Col. Malles
and continue sending aid,

152
00:11:26,541 --> 00:11:30,253
or do we accept his request
for asylum and cut off aid?

153
00:11:30,962 --> 00:11:34,924
If we follow the money from the platinum,
we might learn some interesting things.

154
00:11:35,007 --> 00:11:37,718
We mustn't waste the taxpayers' money.

155
00:11:39,095 --> 00:11:42,306
<i>So there's someone who provided
tactical instruction to the junta.</i>

156
00:11:43,349 --> 00:11:44,183
That's...

157
00:11:44,267 --> 00:11:47,353
Intelligence Department can stay out.
I've been granted special jurisdiction.

158
00:11:47,770 --> 00:11:48,771
Hey!

159
00:11:48,980 --> 00:11:50,106
Make yourself scarce.

160
00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:56,154
She's the Foreign Minister's interpreter.

161
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,572
I know that.

162
00:11:57,655 --> 00:12:00,616
Because she and our Togusa
used to be close.

163
00:12:04,328 --> 00:12:07,999
Twenty-three minutes ago,
a virus got into her.

164
00:12:09,876 --> 00:12:13,254
We're currently tracing the location
of whoever sent it.

165
00:12:13,421 --> 00:12:15,298
How did they learn
that she'd been infected?

166
00:12:15,506 --> 00:12:16,591
Information beats all.

167
00:12:17,258 --> 00:12:19,010
Our culprit loves to be on the move.

168
00:12:19,093 --> 00:12:22,513
He changes location and every seven
minutes, he accesses her for five seconds.

169
00:12:22,722 --> 00:12:25,016
So until we catch the guy,

170
00:12:25,099 --> 00:12:28,144
she's literally on the hook
helping us like this.

171
00:12:28,603 --> 00:12:31,272
What's the virus that's trying
to reach her Ghost?

172
00:12:31,731 --> 00:12:33,608
An early model HA-3.

173
00:12:33,774 --> 00:12:35,568
So we have a little over two hours, then.

174
00:12:37,236 --> 00:12:40,740
Ishikawa and Borma are tracing
the hacker's location by car.

175
00:12:41,282 --> 00:12:42,366
Join them.

176
00:12:51,876 --> 00:12:53,169
SEISHIN PRECISION MACHINERY

177
00:12:56,422 --> 00:12:57,757
Say, Major.

178
00:12:57,882 --> 00:13:00,259
I heard something from Mayumi
from Public Security's armory.

179
00:13:00,343 --> 00:13:02,887
Is this about how she's actually 62?

180
00:13:03,095 --> 00:13:05,014
No, I... Really?!

181
00:13:05,556 --> 00:13:06,974
No, not that.

182
00:13:07,058 --> 00:13:09,685
Its spec sheet says that
a 3.5 inch barrel Seburo snab

183
00:13:09,769 --> 00:13:12,980
can be fired 12 times in three seconds
and pinhead a target at 25 yards.

184
00:13:13,064 --> 00:13:13,940
Is that accurate?

185
00:13:14,023 --> 00:13:16,901
Any of us can do that
aside from you and Saito.

186
00:13:17,026 --> 00:13:18,444
Quit joking around.

187
00:13:18,528 --> 00:13:21,697
Against a target silhouette, most
of its shots will hit at even 100 yards.

188
00:13:22,031 --> 00:13:25,785
A snab is meant to be used
after closing in to five yards,

189
00:13:26,077 --> 00:13:27,620
but that's nothing special.

190
00:13:27,703 --> 00:13:30,665
I haven't heard that,
not even in target shooting circles.

191
00:13:30,748 --> 00:13:32,500
What we need to have is the ability

192
00:13:32,583 --> 00:13:35,628
to get close enough to put down
the target with 100% certainty.

193
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,421
If you're into sharpshooting,

194
00:13:37,505 --> 00:13:40,716
get yourself a super-compact cruise
missile, get to a good distance,

195
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,301
and fire it at an elephant.

196
00:13:43,219 --> 00:13:44,512
{\an8}By the way...

197
00:13:44,637 --> 00:13:47,014
{\an8}What's this I hear about you
using a revolver as your primary?

198
00:13:47,557 --> 00:13:50,768
{\an8}Are you scared of jams when you're
carrying two guns in a two-man cell?

199
00:13:50,977 --> 00:13:53,312
I'm partial to the 2007, that's all.

200
00:13:53,563 --> 00:13:55,898
I'm the one whose butt is on the line.

201
00:13:55,982 --> 00:13:58,150
Switch to a 5mm, 20-round Seburo.

202
00:13:58,234 --> 00:13:59,193
Aww...

203
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,112
And what's with the shotgun?

204
00:14:01,195 --> 00:14:04,699
It's loaded with all slugs,
so it can punch through most cars.

205
00:14:04,782 --> 00:14:07,326
Our job isn't to pulverize things.

206
00:14:07,410 --> 00:14:09,495
Leave shooting through walls to rifles.

207
00:14:09,579 --> 00:14:11,872
It can be pretty handy, though.

208
00:14:12,164 --> 00:14:14,375
I doubt you'll need it this time out.

209
00:14:14,458 --> 00:14:18,212
We're just tracing the hacker who got
the Foreign Minister's interpreter.

210
00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:20,548
We're using her as...

211
00:14:20,798 --> 00:14:26,762
Don't worry. We'll cut the line
before the HA-3 can reach her Ghost.

212
00:14:26,887 --> 00:14:29,682
We have to locate the perp before then.

213
00:14:30,016 --> 00:14:31,267
HA-3?

214
00:14:31,475 --> 00:14:34,979
{\an8}A military AI created
during non-nuclear WWIV.

215
00:14:35,062 --> 00:14:36,480
{\an8}Something like that.

216
00:14:36,564 --> 00:14:38,190
{\an8}What sort of virus is it?

217
00:14:38,691 --> 00:14:40,818
{\an8}A so-called personality hijacker type.

218
00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:42,820
{\an8}It's harmless by itself,

219
00:14:42,987 --> 00:14:45,364
{\an8}but once its genome is assembled,
it springs into action.

220
00:14:45,448 --> 00:14:46,949
{\an8}If it were the latest model,

221
00:14:47,033 --> 00:14:49,619
{\an8}it would have an incubation period
and be impossible to trace.

222
00:14:49,702 --> 00:14:51,287
{\an8}We're lucky that it's an old dog.

223
00:14:51,370 --> 00:14:52,955
{\an8}There's nothing lucky about this!

224
00:14:53,164 --> 00:14:54,582
Don't worry about it.

225
00:14:54,665 --> 00:14:56,626
Whatever happens,
she'll walk away unharmed.

226
00:14:56,917 --> 00:14:59,670
Why would anybody want to infect her
with something like that now?

227
00:15:00,046 --> 00:15:02,298
Don't wreck the car, Togusa.

228
00:15:02,381 --> 00:15:05,134
I understand how you feel, but they
get in the way, so push them down.

229
00:15:05,217 --> 00:15:07,011
Sorry, but I'm not a robot.

230
00:15:08,346 --> 00:15:10,556
That's what makes you such a newbie.

231
00:15:16,020 --> 00:15:18,648
Geez! What the hell
are they throwing out, bricks?

232
00:15:20,232 --> 00:15:21,067
Hey!

233
00:15:21,150 --> 00:15:22,652
Relax, I'll be right there!

234
00:15:26,113 --> 00:15:28,741
We're 40 seconds behind
on our route overall!

235
00:15:28,824 --> 00:15:30,660
I'll be done in five seconds.

236
00:15:34,455 --> 00:15:35,289
UPLOAD COMPLETE

237
00:15:36,374 --> 00:15:38,209
Sorry about that.

238
00:15:38,376 --> 00:15:41,754
If we slack off, the city'll
drown in its own garbage!

239
00:15:47,385 --> 00:15:50,513
How many days have you been
sleeping at the office?

240
00:15:50,596 --> 00:15:53,015
I don't even know anymore.

241
00:15:53,307 --> 00:15:55,267
Thanks to this job,
I barely recognize my kid

242
00:15:55,351 --> 00:15:57,311
and my wife is shouting
that she wants a divorce.

243
00:15:57,395 --> 00:15:59,313
She thinks I'm stepping out on her.

244
00:15:59,689 --> 00:16:01,691
She's the one who's acting suspiciously.

245
00:16:02,274 --> 00:16:05,820
You two oughta know if the other person
has it in them to cheat.

246
00:16:10,199 --> 00:16:11,951
They're just screwing with us,
aren't they?

247
00:16:12,034 --> 00:16:15,621
It's like a little island from the trash
left over from making Garbage Island.

248
00:16:15,955 --> 00:16:18,666
If our route covered a restaurant area,
there'd be even more!

249
00:16:18,749 --> 00:16:20,376
I'll write you a letter of recommendation.

250
00:16:22,336 --> 00:16:24,380
This pile is crawling with jungle crows.

251
00:16:24,630 --> 00:16:28,509
Hello, police? Somebody threw away
a perfectly good old guy again.

252
00:16:28,592 --> 00:16:30,094
I'm gonna hit 'em with the gas!

253
00:16:32,888 --> 00:16:34,014
Owe!

254
00:16:34,306 --> 00:16:36,642
Never throw away broken glasses
in plastic bags, damn it!

255
00:16:36,726 --> 00:16:39,478
These syringes have "test sample"
written on them!

256
00:16:40,771 --> 00:16:44,650
Unless guys like us stage protests
like the foreign workers,

257
00:16:44,734 --> 00:16:47,111
they won't buy armed suits
for us to use.

258
00:16:47,194 --> 00:16:51,031
Things were so much easier back when
I was in Sacred Citizen Relief Center.

259
00:16:51,824 --> 00:16:54,118
Yo! Tragic proletariat!

260
00:16:54,201 --> 00:16:56,829
Don't just stand there
like a broken-down robot,

261
00:16:57,079 --> 00:16:58,164
and get to work!

262
00:16:59,039 --> 00:17:00,666
Okay, on to our next stop.

263
00:17:01,417 --> 00:17:04,378
Man, I wish I could go home.

264
00:17:08,090 --> 00:17:09,717
Watch it, dumbass!

265
00:17:10,134 --> 00:17:13,179
I guess there are other folks besides us
sanitation workers who're in a hurry.

266
00:17:13,304 --> 00:17:16,557
Oh, crap! If we don't make the next
traffic light, we'll be late!

267
00:17:20,060 --> 00:17:22,563
Damn! We never make it in time!

268
00:17:22,646 --> 00:17:24,106
This is pointless.

269
00:17:24,190 --> 00:17:28,360
Even if we track the guy down,
he's gone by the time we get there.

270
00:17:28,569 --> 00:17:31,655
<i>Keep griping, and it'll reflect poorly
come bonus evaluation time.</i>

271
00:17:31,739 --> 00:17:34,575
We should just kill the guy
with an attack barrier!

272
00:17:35,659 --> 00:17:38,496
Kusanagi's en route
to the next probable area.

273
00:17:38,829 --> 00:17:40,790
Search that location
and try to find something.

274
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,458
Something? Like what?

275
00:17:42,541 --> 00:17:43,459
<i>Anything!</i>

276
00:17:43,542 --> 00:17:45,419
Damn it, that old fart!

277
00:17:46,378 --> 00:17:49,256
Oh, dear. The garbage men are gone.

278
00:17:49,632 --> 00:17:51,091
Garbage men were here?!

279
00:17:51,258 --> 00:17:52,760
Are you with the Sanitation Department?

280
00:17:52,843 --> 00:17:54,512
Were they just here or not?!

281
00:17:54,595 --> 00:17:55,721
They were.

282
00:17:55,971 --> 00:17:58,974
But by the time I came down
with my own trash, they'd already left.

283
00:17:59,058 --> 00:18:01,101
One of them loaded up the trash,

284
00:18:01,185 --> 00:18:03,020
but the other one was making a call.

285
00:18:05,856 --> 00:18:07,191
Hey! Take these!

286
00:18:08,943 --> 00:18:11,362
A garbage truck?
We'll get ahead of them!

287
00:18:11,987 --> 00:18:13,531
Kusanagi, are you listening?

288
00:18:13,614 --> 00:18:17,952
Remember how when we were at Flat 17,
Nakajima wanted to take over this case?

289
00:18:18,035 --> 00:18:18,953
<i>Yes.</i>

290
00:18:19,161 --> 00:18:21,872
Malles received a call from him.

291
00:18:22,081 --> 00:18:25,626
He seems to be selling off platinum
through fake companies.

292
00:18:26,877 --> 00:18:27,837
<i>How's the interpreter?</i>

293
00:18:28,337 --> 00:18:31,632
<i>We're maintaining her as-is.
I don't want to tip our hand.</i>

294
00:18:36,637 --> 00:18:38,514
Aren't you reading too much into it?

295
00:18:38,597 --> 00:18:40,391
You want to do a half-assed investigation?

296
00:18:40,724 --> 00:18:43,352
It might just be a prank
by a bored garbage man.

297
00:18:46,564 --> 00:18:49,608
What's with the exasperated sigh, Major?
Cut that out!

298
00:18:50,609 --> 00:18:55,281
If she had been under the HA-3's control,
the Gavel Republic's representative

299
00:18:55,364 --> 00:18:58,117
probably would've been killed
at the secret meeting.

300
00:18:58,409 --> 00:19:02,246
Why do you suppose they attacked
with something as outdated as an HA-3?

301
00:19:02,663 --> 00:19:05,833
A new version wouldn't
be traceable when it was found,

302
00:19:05,916 --> 00:19:09,461
and all fingers would point at Malles,
the former leader of the junta.

303
00:19:09,545 --> 00:19:12,172
<i>So this is to pin the blame
on someone else?</i>

304
00:19:12,548 --> 00:19:15,801
<i>Maybe it's a coincidence?
Like, maybe the HA-3 is all they had?</i>

305
00:19:15,885 --> 00:19:17,636
Not possible in this case.

306
00:19:18,971 --> 00:19:21,974
<i>It blows my mind that your simplistic
thinking doesn't seem to bother you.</i>

307
00:19:22,057 --> 00:19:23,851
So you're saying Malles is behind it?

308
00:19:23,934 --> 00:19:26,228
<i>Him, and whoever leaked the intel
about the meeting.</i>

309
00:19:27,021 --> 00:19:31,066
I wonder if your Ghost will ever
start whispering in your ear.

310
00:19:33,277 --> 00:19:36,906
<i>Major. We got the garbage truck's
route map.</i>

311
00:19:37,031 --> 00:19:40,618
<i>I'll send it over OP257
using code cypher STRAUSS.</i>

312
00:19:40,701 --> 00:19:41,619
Okay.

313
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:44,955
{\an8}ME, THE HOTTIE
TOGUSA, THE NEWBIE

314
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:45,956
{\an8}PINCER MOVEMENT

315
00:19:47,958 --> 00:19:49,460
Togusa, did you get that?

316
00:19:49,710 --> 00:19:51,587
- Let's do it!
- Huh?

317
00:19:55,549 --> 00:19:57,384
How 'bout we switch next time

318
00:19:57,468 --> 00:19:59,720
and I collect the trash
and you make the phone call?

319
00:19:59,803 --> 00:20:00,763
Pass.

320
00:20:03,766 --> 00:20:07,686
You're so desperate to know how your
wife feels that you'll Ghost hack her?

321
00:20:07,770 --> 00:20:10,773
She wants a divorce out of the blue
and refuses to see me.

322
00:20:11,357 --> 00:20:14,902
Maybe so, but I'm amazed
you got your hands on a barrier breaker.

323
00:20:14,985 --> 00:20:17,696
I met a nice guy
at my favorite watering hole.

324
00:20:18,113 --> 00:20:20,908
When he heard that I was stuck
collecting garbage all day,

325
00:20:20,991 --> 00:20:23,786
he offered to leave the barrier breakers
along my route for me.

326
00:20:23,994 --> 00:20:26,622
That's a pathetic sob story, man.

327
00:20:29,083 --> 00:20:31,710
Her lawyer wouldn't let me see her.

328
00:20:41,261 --> 00:20:43,472
Yeah? Go for truck 1205.

329
00:20:43,555 --> 00:20:46,141
<i>Some cops just asked for your route map!</i>

330
00:20:46,225 --> 00:20:48,978
Manager? Why on earth
would they want to know that?

331
00:20:49,061 --> 00:20:50,646
I have no clue why!

332
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,901
They know about the Ghost breaker!

333
00:20:56,235 --> 00:20:58,654
I have to warn that nice guy!

334
00:21:02,199 --> 00:21:05,411
Wire fluid tank 3 low!
Switching to backup tank!

335
00:21:05,494 --> 00:21:06,787
What? Major!

336
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:07,830
