I'm a soldier, znatchit ya...
I'm a soldier, and that means...

...i otvetchik i sud'ya
...that I am both defendant and judge.

Ya stoyu na dvuh kontsah ognya
I stand at both ends of the fire.

Ogibaya virazhi,
Leaning into the curves,

obgonyaya smert' i zhizn',
overtaking life and death,

ya begu srazit'sya s ten'yu lzhi
I'm running to fight the shadow of lies.

Skol'ko b nitej ne plyol obman,
No matter how tangled the web of deception is woven,

pokazhet lik sveta istina...
truth will always illuminate the outline of the light...

Save your tears for the day...

...when the pain is far behind.

On your feet, come with me.

We are soldiers, stand or die.

Save your fears, take your place.

Save them for the Judgment Day.

Fast and free, follow me.

Time to make the sacrifice.

We rise or fall...

Manage to dig up
anything on him?

I'm not making
much progress.

Their protection's
tougher than I thought.

The Intelligence Agency is the newest
administrative organization, after all.

It was created by uniting various
prewar intelligence agencies...

...and the old Defense
Policy Bureau.

But I found evidence of multiple instances of
illegal information manipulation relating to...

...the gathering and analysis of foreign and
domestic information, as well as SDA activity,

inside that Strategic Influence Investigatory
Committee that Gohda's assigned to.

And the plutonium incident
was among them, huh?

That's right.

What about his
personal history?

He was part of the group that was headhunted
from the Defense Policy Bureau,

...and he quickly rose
to his current position.

But his record at the time wasn't anything
special. He was more like an outcast.

To tell you the truth,
the man's an enigma.

What's that?

It's what Gohda looked like
when he was in the DPB.

He was apparently injured
in some kind of accident,

but he's keeping the wounds
the way they looked back then.

Definitely leaves less of an
impression than he does now.

Okay.

Call off the background search for now.
We're getting new instructions from the Chief.

- Roger.
- Roger.

Oh, man... Straight from an all-nighter
to a lunch meeting, huh?

You're probably wondering why
I called this emergency meeting.

It is to lay out our policy
in regards to a response...

...to the string of incidents that
have been happening lately.

Fine, but I'd like to belt
that son of a bitch first.

I agree with him.

The CIS' actions are clearly
meant to put pressure on us.

I don't feel like keeping my mouth shut and
letting them get away with it a second time.

Relax. I don't like it
any more than you do.

Even so, it seems to me that you've been
making a lot of trips to see the Prime Minister.

Don't you think it's the P.M. Herself
who wants to slap a leash on us?

I find that unlikely.

It's true that she is merely a figurehead
who was set up in hopes...

...of distracting the populace from the
previous administration's scandals,

but while she may or may not be a friend,
she most certainly is not a foe.

I believe the Major's already conducting
an investigation on her own about this,

but there are signs of deliberate information
manipulation being carried out at the CIS...

...regarding the runaway helicopter incident,
as well as the plutonium transfer the other day.

At this time, it's uncertain what the CIS
is planning to use these incidents for,

but I believe these repeated pressures
being brought to bear against us...

...are actions within the government, which
hopes to keep that "something" hidden.

Is that true for the
Individual Eleven case, too?

Because they're keeping us away
from the investigation...

...into the attempt on the Prime Minister,
which is a serious act of terrorism,

even though we were the ones
most closely tied to the case.

If the Prime Minister's a paper tiger
and it's the government who's behind this,

we're still gonna be biting
the hand that feeds us.

You're gonna
do this anyway?

Do you have a problem
with it?

I've been waiting
to hear you say that.

Very well. Let's get on with
the mission briefing.

All of the crimes in this file were committed
by various criminal groups...

...that have called themselves
the Individual Eleven.

The illegal siphoning of funds
contributed to JNN-TV.

The bombing of a refugee
aid association.

Threats made to an NPO that had donated
free prosthetic bodies to refugees.

The drowning of a back-alley doctor who
specialized in prosthetic bodies.

The death of a net-bank president,
who was killed when hit by a train.

The stabbing death of a
Democratic Party assemblyman.

The shooting death of Densetsu,
the popular cyberbrain-rapper.

Threats made against
Nanyou Shimbun Press.

And now, the attempted assassination
of Prime Minister Kayabuki.

Of these nine cases, it had been
believed that the only one...

...in which a suspect was spotted
was the attempted assassination.

However, one other case has been found
in which a possible suspect was spotted.

That's news to me. I thought the National Police
Agency refused to disclose any information.

They did. Unlike during the Laughing Man case,
they are taking this one quite seriously.

Admittedly, this is creating
unnecessary barriers.

This footage didn't come
from the police,

but is rather something I obtained
personally from an involved party.

From a Nanyou
reporter, huh?

That's right. Because of the Nanyou Shimbun's
critical stance against the refugee policy,

they've had shots fired into their building by the
Individual Eleven on three separate occasions.

And this man showed up on their security
cameras on every one of those occasions.

His name is
Sho Kawashima.

He started working as a
Taiwanese vegetarian cook...

...at a restaurant near the Nanyou
building about a month ago.

I turned up the fact that he used
to be an officer in the SDA.

Where'd this intel
come from?

I sent Military Intelligence his face's
structural data and got their assistance.

So in other words, we're on better terms with
the military than the police now. Huh?

So, what do you want us
to do with this guy?

For starters,
take him into custody.

Look for anything of significance hidden
in his ideology and background.

At present, we can't prove any connection
between the CIS and the Individual Eleven,

but if we unravel the thread
of what vector was used...

...to cause these standalone
terrorist groups to appear,

we should also find out what
they hope to accomplish.

You might be right.

Batou, Togusa, Saito and Paz,
you take Sho Kawashima into custody.

Ishikawa and Borma, you keep digging
into Gohda's background...

...while at the same time investigating the person
who attempted to kill the Prime Minister.

Roger.

We're finally acting
like ourselves again,

but I can't say that I understand
these guys at all.

The Individual Eleven...

The complaints in the other seven cases
were all the same old "free the refugees" stuff,

but I don't see anything
linking 'em.

Aside from that logo written the letters claiming
responsibility, there's no common factor, either.

If this is following the same pattern
as the Laughing Man case,

that would make the copycats'
original that bunch...

...that holed themselves up in the
Chinese Embassy, wouldn't it?

Well, they were the first ones to
call themselves the Individual Eleven...

Yeah, but none of the others
have called themselves that.

Even with us, the only reason
we know how to read that logo...

...is that we stumbled across a thinker's essays
in the course of investigating the damn thing.

In a standalone-type crime,

the intermediary who provides the motivation
isn't necessarily the original, remember?

Yeah, you're right.

I get more of a sense of originality from
the bunch that's using this logo, though.

Nasty! What the hell?
This is food for cyborgs!

Relax, it won't kill ya.

It's made of 90% gluten, plus a dash
of amino acid based micromachines.

Hey. Any luck?

Nothing. He hasn't gone home
to his apartment in over four days.

I'll try staking out the
newspaper building.

Right.

Looks like we got a late start. Even hot tips are
useless when they go past their best-by date.

What now, Major?
Want us to maintain our stakeout?

Taking him into custody is our top priority,
so all we can do is play the odds.

The Nanyou Shimbun Press
is still receiving threats,

and he'd been showing up to work
at the restaurant until yesterday.

We're not exactly taking
an active role here, though.

I've sent out reinforcements
to cover our bets.

Our stakeout isn't gonna get any more
efficient with just three Tachikomas.

Don't be like that,
Togusa buddy!

We can maintain our individuality
even while we're synchronized now,

and we've even had agent
functions installed!

Boo-yah!

It's kinda like we're able to do that
"astral projection" thing now.

This way, we can go off and
constantly absorb data...

... while our bodies stay
in place at the scene!

We call it a
"data smörgåsbord"!

That's enough chatter!

Batou, increase the IR-System's
search functions...

... and actively track down Kawashima
and take him into custody.

Roger.

Smörgåsbord! Smörgåsbord!

When the heck did the Major
upgrade those guys?

You have to admit, we have
been shorthanded lately.

Gosh, there's no sign
of this guy anywhere.

You'd think that you'd be able to
track somebody down for sure...

... if they tried to swap into
a PKF-use prosthetic body.

Maybe he's not
in the country anymore.

Almost makes you doubt the CIS'
information manipulation, doesn't it?

Major, I found something interesting
on a local net.

It's Gohda's senior thesis
from when he was a student.

"Given that Cyberbrains
Govern Socialization,"

"Which do they Favor?
Individuality or Collectivity?"

"A Theory of Heroism from
the Standpoint of a Producer."

What he writes in it
is surprisingly interesting.

Like he writes in the title, he suggests
that in our current social structure,

there's a tendency for cyberbrains to instill
a subconscious desire for collectivity...

...at the same time that they
eliminate individuality.

But in response to this, they create
a leader as part of the system...

...who consciously controls the
subconscious of the masses.

Almost sounds like he'd analyzed the
Laughing Man incident, doesn't it?

Yeah. But judging from
the date on it,

this thing was written a long time
before the Laughing Man incident.

After that, he studied Information Science,
Information Ethics, and Applied Informatics,

and then got a job at a private
company for a while.

Private company?

A mega-multinational that's
known to everybody now...

...for their prosthetic body technology
and micromachine fabrication.

Poseidon Industrial.

Back then, they were Greater Japan
Technical Research.

Take the superhighway
and head for Hakata.

Understood, sir.

It's me.

Sorry, Aramaki, but I won't
be able to get away for long.

When will you
get here?

Right on time.
Why?

Oh, really? In that case,
how about that one restaurant?

We shouldn't meet anywhere
too public, after all.

That's all right
with me.

Okay. I'll meet
you there, then.

Man, that looks good...

I've hardly been home
at all lately.

Do you even know
what that is?

Eel, yeah? Even I know
that much.

Guess again. That's a mock eel dish that's
made out of gluten and shiitake mushrooms.

Taiwanese vegetarian cooking.

What they call Su Shi is a special,
time-honored cooking style...

...that was independently developed
by Buddhist priests.

It's like Buddhist
vegan cooking?

Yeah, sorta.

Unlike Japanese Buddhist vegan cuisine,
though, it doesn't cook its ingredients as-is.

It plays around with beans and mushrooms
to duplicate meat and fish.

It's pretty much the same as that sandwich
that you didn't finish eating.

Are you serious?

But why would those Taiwanese priests have
come up with such an elaborate cooking style?

If they never knew what meat tasted like,
there wouldn't be any need for it, right?

True enough.

But before people join the priesthood,
they can eat whatever they want.

You can meditate all you want, but you're never
gonna be able to erase those memories.

I guess that
makes sense.

Still, you sure seem to know
a lot about this.

Don't tell me that you get nostalgic for
the taste of the real thing, too, Big Man.

The brain has cravings for food,
even when you're a cyborg.

That's exactly why they make
novelty food for cyborgs.

Taste as a playback device
for past memories, huh?

Where would this Kawashima guy
have learned how to make this stuff?

He probably picked it up while
he was stationed in Taiwan.

Keep your eyes peeled,
you guys.

Yes sir!

What's up?

Our theme tonight is
"The Refugee Issue and Terrorism."

I'd like to review your argument again
and see if I have it straight.

Are you saying that you believe
the government's carelessness...

... in losing sight of its policy objectives
has given rise to individualists,

and that extremist elements have appeared who
are looking to a restoration as the answer?

You've got it
all wrong.

They haven't come forward because
this administration is weak.

Defense-minded assemblymen were mulling
over the New U.S.-Japan Security Treaty...

...long before the present
administration took office.

They were thinking that they could
take the initiative from America.

That means that the individualists were
already present while that was going on.

On the contrary, the thing that
provoked the individualists...

... is the three million refugees
that are eating up our tax money!

They were thinking, "It's time for
this country to finally stand up...

Dobashi

"...and do something
about those people!"

Now this
is interesting.

If that's true, we never should have
taken them in in the first place.

Talk like that
will ruin your career.

But do you have any idea how big
an increase in our tax rate...

... the Refugee Action Policy
caused after that?

And that tax money is vanishing into the darkness
under the pretext of the Refugee Action Policy.

Is anyone there?

I have no idea why the ruling
party doesn't abandon...

Bring me a disk with the recording of the
debate show that's on channel 3-3 right now.

... that action policy that's nothing more
than a facilitator for criminal activity.

Understood.

And keep on recording it,
of course.

It's no surprise.

Listen, if the refugees are ever
suddenly provoked by something,

that is when they will truly
go out of control.

What's commonly referred
to as suicide bombings...

... is a weapon of last resort used when people
lose the last shred of hope for their future.

That's why it's vital that we encourage them
to support themselves economically.

Give them freedom under
the guise of liberation.

What in the world
are you saying?

The refugees won't be able
to solve their own problems...

... just by granting them freedom,
and you know it!

Tachikoma. Run a match
on that van's plates.

Roger that!

Now that we've gone over the
particulars of the various terrorist acts,

Fumiya Dobashi

why don't we begin discussing
concrete examples?

Wait a minute...

Mr. Dobashi, what's this
terrorist incident that you say...

His name was on that...

... the National Police Agency
is trying to cover up?

I believe that everyone here
knows of the incident itself.

You're aware that since the takeover
of the Chinese Embassy,

there have been roughly eight
terrorist incidents, I take it?

You mean the stabbings
of that cyberbrain musician...

... and the politician who supported a policy
of reconciliation towards the refugees?

Yes, that's right.

There is one fact regarding those incidents
that the National Police Agency...

... has made no mention of
in their press releases.

Stop stringing us along!
Hurry up and tell us!

Have you ever seen
this logo?

Looks like it's regular van that's
registered to a retail chain.

Oh, it is?

This logo is the one thing
in common on all of the letters...

... sent in as claims of responsibility
for the crimes.

I haven't heard
anything about that.

How the hell
does he know that?

Neither have I.
Who's your source?

How's it going? You leaving all the
lookout work to the Tachikoma?

Well, that's a trade secret.

No, I...

That's not very convincing, then.

Here.

In that case, you might be a little surprised
when you learn how this logo is read.

Is this any time for us
to be eating that stuff?

Now what's your problem?
This is the real thing.

That's not what I meant!

This guy here... I think he's a member
of a reporter group that I met with earlier,

The proper reading for this logo
is "The Individual Eleven."

While that name is taken from the title of
an essay written some fifty years ago,

and he knows top-secret information
about the Individual Eleven case.

The groups behind these incidents
who use this name...

... are individual groups that have appeared
without any ties with one another,

and are all motivated by the goal
of refugee liberation.

Individualists whose first
appearance coincided with...

What the hell
is this guy saying?

... the GSDA helicopters circling in
the skies above the refugee town.

These groups are motivated agents who are
genuinely trying to liberate the refugees.

I hadn't thought of this
method of infection...

Yes, sir.

I hate to interrupt, but we have
to take a commercial break.

We can't tarnish the good
name of the police, so I thought...

...this would make a good
incendiary device.

I suppose it is. By the way, what's
being done about the carriers...

...in the Nanyou case and the attempted
assassination of the Prime Minister?

Sir. Regarding the Nanyou carrier, we're already
manipulating Public Security Section 1,

so I believe we'll be able
to affect a purge soon.

As for the carrier who tried
to kill the Prime Minister,

we believe he may be someone who went
to the peninsula as part of a PKF.

His name is
Hideo Kuze.

We arrived at this answer by working
backwards through the infection agents,

so he is probably
our man.

So, it's you, Kuze?

About that man, Gohda...

I've asked people who worked with him
at the Defense Policy Bureau,

but there weren't many people
who remembered him.

Even those who did could only remember
that he wasn't very memorable.

But I did find the records of his psychoanalysis
testing from when he was employed there.

Introverted, but has a strong sense of self
and desire to court publicity.

On the contrary, has tendency
to use others to express himself.

That presents a somewhat different picture
from the man he is now.

What's the matter?
Aren't you going to eat?

It tastes the same
as it did in the old days.

The same as the old
days, huh?

And about that SDA officer named Kawashima
that you asked me about a while ago...

I also had some inquiries about him
from Public Security Section 1.

They came to us and asked for his facial data
because a hitman named Wong Chu Ren...

...had taken Kawashima's face
and was hiding out in Chinatown.

Why didn't you tell
me that earlier?!

I just assumed that they'd already
contacted you about it.

Major!

It's strange that Section 1 would also be
involved in this in addition to the Nanyou case.

Hurry up and get word
to Batou and the others.

I'm already on it.

Wong Chu Ren?

The guy's an international
terrorist from Taiwan.

The top brass have issued
a termination order on him,

but I've never heard anything
about him changing faces.

So, are we being played,
or is Section 1?

Either way, the timing of this
is awfully fishy.

Tachikoma! Just to be safe, secure the guys
in that truck from earlier.

Mr. Batou! The subject just appeared
in alley behind the restaurant!

Wha...?

This country is too luxurious
for refugees to live in.

But it's not affluent enough to
be able to take in any refugees.

Wong Chu Ren, I presume?

Keep 'em pinned down!

Roger!

Put down your guns!

Kawashima!

Who the hell
are you people?

On the ground!

I'm sorry...

The alley was too narrow for me
to act as a shield for him.

You guys must be
Section 1.

Who are you?

We're in the same
line of work.

Take a good look
at his face.

He's got prosthetics,
but his face ain't one of 'em.

In other words,
this guy ain't Wong Chu Ren.

What's going on here? The intel
we had at Section 1 was solid.

You guys work
with Motoko...

This means you guys just got played.
Just like we did.

Finding out a galaxy...

...of planets and stars within me...

Listening to each of them...

...singing the same silent melody...

I've never seen such beauty...

In possibility...

No speck of doubt or fear...

Wake up!

I hear a voice,

hear a voice calling out to me...

I see inside,

see the light now ever holding me...

All the truth, all I need...

...to make of this reality, it's inside...

The beauty within the shell...

I hear a voice,

hear a voice calling out to me...

I see inside,

see the light now ever holding me...

All the truth, all I need...

...to make of this reality, it's inside...

Right here within the shell...
