[KANEKI] Haise.

Who're you?

Oh, yeah.

You're me.

You know my name, so say it.

Then what?

If you take over, I'll just disappear, won't I?

[HAISE] I can hear... footsteps.

[crash]

[SEIDO] Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga.

Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga...

All righty! We're here!

So get off the train!

[groans]

Such a lovely stage, don't you think?

Why don't we put on a play?

You'll need some lines, of course. How about...?

"I don't want to die," and "You've changed my mind."

[NUTCRACKER] My paycheck.

My sweet 200,000,000 yen paycheck,

where have you gone?

Saiko! Come back us up!

What exactly do you want me to do?

[HAYASHIMURA] No! Don't jump!

[yelps]

Aw!

[NUTCRACKER laughs]

[SHIRAZU] How did she...?

[HAYASHIMURA] This one has detachable Kagune.

She's been using them to set traps.

Avoid the walls and ceiling if you can.

Another ghoul who can do that?

Then I'll hit her from here!

[SHIRAZU] She blocked that like it was nothing.

[HAYASHIMURA grunts]

[SHIRAZU grunts]

[yelps]

[HAYASHIMURA grunts]

[SHIRAZU yelps]

[screams]

[giggles]

Third Class Investigator.

We could use some support.

What am I supposed to do?

[SHIRAZU] That was close.

One inch closer and I'd be singing soprano.

[yelps]

[SHIRAZU] Whoa!

Huh. Hold on a second.

These kagune...

[SHIRAZU] I see now. So that's how they work.

It's rude to watch someone while they're trying to eat!

Leave him alone!

[groans]

[coughs]

[yelps]

[MUTSUKI yells]

[MUTSUKI] Urie.

[BIG MADAM] Mm?

[URIE, BIG MADAM yell]

[URIE] Gimme more credit.

I need more. I deserve more.

More, more, more, more, more, more, more,

more, more, more, more!

Give it to me!

[URIE] Get out of my way!

Say, that was kinda fun, don't'cha think, fellas?

Yeah, this is such fun!

What is this feeling? My head is so full of me!

This must be it! Yeah!

This is Frame 4!

This kid must've lost his damn mind!

[yelling]

Now you're all... mine!

[groans]

[URIE groaning]

Don't take me so lightly, you stupid little shit!

[URIE] Why's it always me getting screwed by fate?

It's not fair. What about Kuroiwa?

Why am I the only one? Dad.

[URIE] Why? When I'm trying so hard.

I know Sasaki thinks I'm just dead weight.

I bet that's what the rest of you think, too.

I can't stand it.

I hate every last one of your guts.

Die. All of you, die. Just die.

Urie, I--

[URIE gasps]

Mutsuki?

Your kagune.

Hey. I get it. I know what it's like.

How agonizing it is to think you're all alone.

You're good.

You were never in the way, and we're gonna be all right.

[sniffs] Mutsuki, you--

[URIE] Wait. So you're a--

Oh.

[BIG MADAM clears throat] I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

I got the winning bid for that little sweetmeat,

so I'm taking it.

Your flesh seems a bit tougher, so...

I'll eat you minced!

No. Juzo, how did you--?

Hey there, Mama. How's life?

You've gotta get it together, Saiko.

We can't do this without you.

I'm weak.

Maybe I could go level up a bit and come back later.

Shirazu! Don't keep me waiting!

Please, Saiko!

This game is just too hard for me, okay?

[SHIRAZU] Mr. Sass said that,

even though she doesn't realize it,

Saiko has the highest latent potential out of any of us.

That's it! Mr. Sass!

[SHIRAZU] Saiko.

Yeah, what is it?

Let's beat Nutcracker so we can help Mr. Sass.

'Cause otherwise, I think he's gonna die.

[gasps] Maman?

You wanna save him, right? So fight!

[HAYASHIMURA groans]

Are you okay?

I'm sorry, but that was all the time I could buy.

You got us all we needed.

[HAYASHIMURA] Okay. Time to try out your plan then.

Huh.

[SHIRAZU] Her kagune traps...

...are double-edged weapons!

[gasps]

[yells]

[SHIRAZU] They'll pierce through anything

that gets too close.

[gasps]

[groans]

[SHIRAZU] Even her!

[sputters]

[SHIRAZU] Saiko!

[SAIKO] For Maman!

[BIG MADAM] You can't stop me. Ha, ha! You're nobodies!

Wait, where the hell are my bodyguards?

[BIG MADAM] Juzo. Rei!

Are you defying your mama?

I raised you like my own child.

Do you resent me for that?

Do you resent your mama?

[yelps]

[yelps]

[HANBEI] Pardon the severance.

[BIG MADAM groans]

How dare you, Juzo!

We've successfully secured the monitor room.

[MATSURI] Good work. Get me access to their network.

Yes, sir.

[SHIRAZU] The more dangerous the ghoul,

the higher the reward.

[SHIRAZU] If I just had money, I could--

I wonder how much you're worth.

[yelps]

[NUTCRACKER sputtering]

[NUTCRACKER] So pretty. If I just had money, I could--

[NUTCRACKER] I want...

...to be pretty.

Why'd you have to go and start talking?

It makes you seem human.

[JUZO] Mama.

When I was still your boy, the only things

I ever got from you were scars.

But I like my scars.

Most people say you're evil for what you did, but...

...not me!

I haven't resented you for a single second!

You smug little brat.

Let me tell you something.

The only reason I kept you

was because you happened to have a nice shape,

you imbecile!

And in case it wasn't clear,

never once did I ever love y--

You shouldn't have to hear that.

Bye, Mama.

[HAISE sputters]

Are you aware of just how massive the gap

between first and second place can be?

The difference between a solid 99

and a perfect 100, is more than one point.

[SEIDO] Would you like me to prove this theory?

You used to be Dr. Kanou's greatest masterpiece.

But what are you now?

[yells]

[sputters]

[SCARECROW humming]

You're weak!

You're weak. Weak!

[groans]

You're weak, you're weak, you're weak,

you're weak, you're weak, you're weak,

you're weak, you're weak!

[HAISE groans]

[HAISE grunts]

Come on. No.

Are you seriously what I was being compared against?

Oh, Sasaki. Or, no.

It's Kaneki, right?

[SCARECROW wheezing]

[HAISE screaming]

[gasps]

[screaming continues]

I know that voice.

Mr. Sass.

[beeping]

[SAIKO] Maman.

[gasps]

[SEIDO laughs]

[SEIDO] Fantastic!

I wonder who went and did such a neat thing for me.

You know what, let's forget the play.

Let's make a symphony, instead.

I'm gonna stab you full of holes.

And your friends are going to hear every single note of pain!

[HAISE screams]

I managed to cut the audio, sir!

[AKIRA] Commander Washu.

Who is First Class Sasaki fighting?

Answer me, damn it! Special Investiga--

Using video from the monitor room,

we have found the location of the remaining ghouls.

Each squad is to regroup and await new orders.

[OPERATIVE B] Commander, what was that voice we heard?

It was nothing. Pay it no mind.

[OPERATIVE B] Yes, sir.

[MATSURI] I need you to buy us a bit more time,

First Class Sasaki.

[MATSURI] While we tie things up here.

[SEIDO] All that screaming,

and yet no one's come to rescue you.

I want you to know that I truly do sympathize.

But with the people that you work with,

that's just the way things are done.

They use you for all you're worth,

and then they toss you aside.

You're limp and hollow.

Like a sausage with the meat sucked out.

There's no purpose to your life.

At least you can give me some purpose.

[HAISE] I don't want to...

...to go away.

[SEIDO] Show's over, friend.

Time to make you my dessert.

[SEIDO laughs]

[SEIDO] Now why would you want to get in my way...

...little Hina?

[HINAMI] This man's life could still be of value to Aogiri.

Go help Rabbit and the others fight off the doves.

Don't think so.

See, I don't take orders from you!

[HINAMI] Kaneki. Even if you're just a shell.

Even if the boy I knew is lost.

Even if you've forgotten who I am.

[HINAMI] If that vessel still holds

some fragment of your soul...

[HINAMI] ...then I will protect it.

You won't fight alone anymore!

[SEIDO gasps]

[sputters]

[SEIDO yelling]

[SEIDO groans]

[SEIDO] That hurt. You're pretty tough, you know that?

Little Hina...

If you keep this up, you might make me lose my breath.

[NAKI] This is bad, Ayato!

The doves'll have us surrounded soon.

[AYATO] I know.

[MIZA] We're to locate Ayato and Naki.

And then retreat. Leave the east side to the clowns!

[MIZA] Damn it.

You dropped a lot of trouble in my lap, Fueguchi.

[HINAMI grunts]

This Owl. He really is strong.

[SEIDO groaning] Go away! Go away!

I haven't eaten. I haven't eaten. I haven't!

[HINAMI] Kaneki. I'm gonna keep you safe.

[HAISE] You don't have to. I'm sorry, but

the person you used to know isn't me.

I may have Ken Kanaki's body,

but my name is Haise Sasaki.

Kaneki...

[HINAMI] He's more than a vessel.

Even without your memories,

I know you're in there, Kaneki.

[HAISE] I'm willing to go away. So please.

Please give me the strength to protect them. Kaneki.

[KANEKI] Haise, are you afraid of me?

[HAISE] Mm.

[KANEKI] Why?

[HAISE] Well, because you're strong.

And besides. There's a void inside of me.

[HAISE] I feel like I could be swallowed up

by its emptiness.

[HAISE] By that abyss.

The amount of loneliness it would take

to fill that void...

I can't compete with it.

[HAISE] Strange.

I can't tell which of us is in control now.

[HAISE] Doesn't seem to matter though.

[HAISE] We're fading, all the same.

[KANEKI] Hey, Haise.

Listen. I'm not very strong.

Look into my face. Remember it.

I'm Ken Kaneki. Don't forget.

And don't let... me disappear!

[HAISE gasps]

[HAISE] I didn't realize. You're scared too.

[HAISE] All right, then. I've got no choice.

I'll save you!

[yells]
