Original subtitles

The culprit

just stood here and watched.

The rain is over.

Arata, the rain is over.

I'm finally sure of the culprit's modus operandi.

Analyst Karanomori contacted me earlier.

The data was just as we predicted.

Now we know his method and his motive.

We're going to arrest Rick's murderer, Kei.

Yeah.

Draw the knives locked behind your eyelids.

Reap the lives that grow into shackles.

Even the lost memories that flee once they're liberated and banished

Are an everlasting cubism.

Cause I know that in a future gone mad,

Even nightmares are peaceful.

RESET, RESET, yeah.

The midnight sun awakens and turns to a riot.

A gun for a faux-friendly kiss. A knife for a faux-revolutionary hug.

Get rid of it all, even the frozen chains.

Reality is always outside your head.

In a world seen through bestial eyes,

There is neither darkness nor light.

Draw the knives locked behind your eyelids.

Reap the lives that grow into shackles.

Even the false memories that flash before your eyes impatiently and impulsively

Are an everlasting cubism.

#02 Teumessian Sacrifices

The cause of this crash

was the coincidental simultaneous occurrence of 17 separate errors.

There were 78 personnel, including mechanics, on board.

There was no issue with any of their Hues.

So it was an accident, right?

Consider this: If you want to harm someone while keeping your Psycho-Pass stable,

it's best that you don't know what you're doing.

The responsibility is distributed, and no one knows everything.

So, no one's Hue is clouded.

Are you serious?

At least someone would have to know everything in a murder.

How come their Hue's unaffected?

There was no guarantee he'd die.

If Rick had stayed in his seat, he'd have escaped the crash.

In that case, his kit malfunction would have frightened him, clouding his Hue.

Death or Psycho-Pass deterioration.

The culprit offered him a choice.

And it was the victim who chose.

Whoever planned the crash didn't have a direct hand in his death.

So, their Hue didn't cloud.

Many people unknowingly complicit. Just like those account books.

So they were embezzling, after all?

It's not that simple.

Rick really was a genius.

He figured it out himself.

What he found

was a nation-wide scam modeled on a financial system from the old era.

A scam? They're just mortgages, right?

I had Hinakawa make a holo to assist my explanation.

Let's say Todoroki takes out a loan at the bank

and buys a house from a housing firm.

Interest

So I'm a home-owner now?

The house appreciates in value, so Todoroki sells it.

But I just bought that!

He pays off the loan with the profit.

He takes out another loan and buys a more expensive house.

Since he made a profit, he buys two this time.

For real?

Kisaragi sees this and follows suit, hoping to make money.

But her income is substandard, so she has a high interest rate.

Because they don't know if I can pay it back?

Correct. The higher the risk, the higher the interest.

And even Irie, the least well-off, can get a loan thanks to subprime lending.

Subprime

What's subprime lending?

A type of high-interest mortgage targeted at low-income groups a long time ago.

This allowed people at all income levels to buy and sell houses.

Then,

the banks consolidated these mortgages into financial instruments.

They sold them to investment companies, making a profit while transferring risks.

A credit rating agency assessed these securities to be trustworthy.

With the highest trust rating, I can make a tidy profit off of them.

And so, the housing market expanded and more money changed hands.

The more you make, the more you want.

Let's blow it up even more.

How many houses do you plan to buy?

Now, what's wrong with this picture?

Why do loans to wealthy and poor people have the same rating?

Weren't they high-interest, high-risk?

Are they being intimidated?

Housing prices should rise. This should be fine.

"Should"?

That's a load of bull!

But everyone believed this fantasy, averting their eyes from the truth,

because the bubble created massive profits.

And then, the bubble burst.

Millions of people lost their savings, their homes, and their jobs,

and the world economy took a huge hit.

Sasagawa and Yonehara recreated this in our Sibyl society.

They used the anti-isolation policy to stage a housing bubble.

They remade the illegal real-estate securities into stocks,

and got ministries and banks to sell them.

Knowing it would collapse, they planned it so they alone would make massive profits.

This is what Rick wanted to blow the whistle on.

In the end, citizens and immigrants would be left holding the bill.

They'd all be deep in debt.

No one would know what they were complicit in.

It's a system from the old era that sparked global conflict.

120-percent illegal.

But it will be tough to investigate.

Huh? Why?

Just enforce the pair of them.

Their Psycho-Passes are clear.

All we have on them are illegally obtained ledgers.

We lack evidence.

So you're saying we can't do anything?

No, not necessarily.

Leak it to audit agencies?

Many agencies must have noticed the rise

in housing prices and sudden changes in stock prices.

Submit our evaluation of the data Rick left us with the bureau chief's approval.

They'll slip up if they hear we found out.

That's overly optimistic.

If they claim the data was falsified and we fail to prove otherwise,

you'll have committed a serious breach of regulations.

I'll take responsibility.

No, we will.

You think the buck will stop with you?

OK, let's do it.

Thank you, ma'am.

Calm down, Yonehara.

But it's an audit.

Public Safety got the data. Didn't you take care of it?

I've taken all possible precautions.

It was your mismanagement that got us into this situation.

You're saying it's my fault?

Consolidate the assets.

If we transfer to a Dejima firm using my Foreign Affairs connections,

Public Safety won't get to us easily.

My Psycho-Pass...

is deteriorating.

Don't lose your head.

We've done a good thing.

We've given people bonuses and homes.

That dead accountant and those who have gone bankrupt

are sheep who couldn't understand how society works.

You can't blame us foxes for preying on them.

I don't have your mental toughness.

There's no evidence I was involved.

Wha...?!

I sent you an address.

Go there. They'll take care of the rest.

No.

No, please stop.

I'm begging you.

Don't leave me!

Sasagawa!

Macroeconomics was invented

so people wouldn't have to look their sacrifices in the eye.

But I'm different.

I can sacrifice anyone whenever I want.

Goodbye.

Psycho-Pass exceeding permissible values measured in Minato.

Proceed to the scene immediately.

Well, no wonder he'd run.

Man, talk about a bad loser.

Takumi Yonehara's Psycho-Pass confirmed.

En route to street-scanner undeployed district.

What about Sasagawa? He's the mastermind, right?

No response on the scanners. He's still clear.

I'll have Karanomori find him.

Yonehara comes first. We'll pursue him.

Mr. Sasagawa told me everything.

Sounds like you've had it rough.

Don't worry. We'll bring you somewhere Public Safety won't go.

All ready, Boss.

Good. Take him.

Here we are, buddy.

We can't use our Dominators past here.

Until the relay drones are up,

don't take any risks.

Got it. You be careful, too.

See if anyone's spotted Yonehara.

No one here is gonna talk.

I have an idea.

Hey, Irie.

There's an old gangster named Numakura who runs this place.

A rich guy on the run would go to him.

Can you take us to him?

His place is just down this street.

All right, let's go.

You and your big mouth.

We might need more cable.

Why not wait for the Public Safety drones and use wireless relays?

We don't have time to wait.

We need to arrest Yonehara safely and quickly.

"Safely"...?

You two, please carry the relay drone to the prescribed location.

And you, Inspector?

I'll hook up the cable.

Wow.

Who the hell are you?

Public Safety Bureau. Surrender Takumi Yonehara.

Refuse, and we'll take enforcement action and search.

You can't enforce squat in this neighborhood.

Bluffing won't get you anywhere.

Get out.

The guy you want left on a trip.

Now get lost, pigs.

Stand aside.

You'll pay for that!

Hey, now.

Screw you!

Never mess with your elders.

Eat lead!

Kei!

Come and get me, if you can!

I'll fill you full of holes!

Crime Coefficient is over 300.

Enforcement mode is Lethal Eliminator.

Take careful aim and eliminate the target.

Get out of our country, immigrant!

Looks like they meant to sell him in pieces.

Plenty of people still prefer people to pigs, after all.

Kei, Karanomori just found Sasagawa.

We have to inform him of what's happened to his friend.

You found Yonehara?

Dead on arrival. We're about to pursue Sasagawa.

Your mission is complete. Leave the rest to me.

You're letting Sasagawa go?

If you want an explanation, come back.

Huh? The call dropped.

It's hard to get a signal here.

That's unfortunate.

We'll carry out the mission.

You pair of morons!

Didn't you have them in hand?

I'll stop them. Stay out of it.

Action is our motto.

If you value your men, pull them out.

Who would value them?

I guess this is goodbye to Tokyo.

Stand by here. Understood?

"Stand by"?

They're really going to ignore the chief's orders?

Sticking their necks out for one scumbag?

If they're serious, they've got a few screws loose.

Kisaragi, Hinakawa, wait here.

Hey, he said to stand by. We can all wait here.

Don't sweat it.

Public Safety Bureau!

Make way!

And if we refuse?

We'll make you move!

A prosthetic hand?

Everyone, stop right there.

I told you to stand by!

Seems you've got your hands full.

We'll show you the ropes, Inspector.

Dammit!

That's enough.

Please don't move.

Error. Target is a Special Investigator

for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Operations Department.

Permission required to identify Crime Coefficient.

- The trigger will be locked. - Foreign Affairs?

So, you didn't let Sasagawa get away.

Yeah, that's right.

Bring me a mental kit.

You're persistent, Detective.

My Hue won't cloud. You can't arrest me.

I'm afraid I'm not interested in your Hue.

What?

We're from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Operations Department.

Frederica Hanashiro

You're wasting your time. You can't uncover a thing!

Enough chit-chat.

Put him to sleep.

Ginoza, we've secured the target.

Roger that.

We've arrested Sasagawa.

Don't worry. He can't escape punishment now.

The domestic cases are yours.

What's this?

There are other foxes.

Creatures that keep escaping the hounds.

Long time no see, Inspector.

"Inspector"? Was that a jab at me?

That wasn't my intention.

Now we're even!

Internal matters are our turf.

Tell that horrible blonde that.

Why not tell her yourself?

I can't stand her guts!

And I'm still sore over her poaching my capable officers!

Capable?

It's a figure of speech!

You're a latent criminal! Don't act cocky!

I'll pass the message along to my chief.

Hey, have you seen Akane?

There's no need to.

I know what I should be doing for her.

You morons!

I told you to come back!

Well, the call was dropped and...

Who were those two?

Foreign Affairs, Operations Department. Nobuchika Ginoza and Shinya Kogami.

Both formerly Unit One.

Unit One?

The Dejima firm Sasagawa tried to escape to was one of their trap corporations.

They'd been investigating the Transport Company for a while.

And if you want to stay inspectors,

obey your bosses' orders

and the interests of the system.

What have we here? A business trip?

You're too close. And annoying.

What a truly amusing pair.

Relation over.

Congressman, please display the results.

So, one inspector has fallen into the hands of the Operations Department.

I'm impressed that Shizuka predicted it.

You mean that this is Roundrobin's will

and essential to Bifrost's security?

The collapse of the subprime diagram and Operations' trap were self-evident.

That's all.

A sacrifice was necessary to spring the trap

and reset the diagram.

All is for Bifrost.

Sacrificing an inspector is a small price.

Well done.

Results confirmed.

Apportioning dividends.

You're the next dealer. I look forward to it, Shizuka.

The pleasure is mine.

We finally made a breakthrough.

You could say that these results

were the end result of Akane Tsunemori's actions.

Let's not talk about her.

She'll receive her fair judgment one day.

That's what she wants.

And you want to hunt foxes in Japan. As promised, I'll leave you to it.

Take care.

Don't worry. I'll see it through.

Please do.

That's all I can tell you.

Your husband was a courageous whistleblower.

A credit to immigrants.

Thank you very much.

Also, Rick's application was approved.

You can live in this country from now on.

How can I thank you?

It was Sibyl's decision.

Your Japanese name has been registered.

You are not compelled to use it, and you may change it at any time.

My Japanese name?

What is it?

Kaori.

I think it's a nice name. I can feel Rick's love for you in it.

Yes.

All right, I solved it.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Rick...

Adele, I've made a decision.

I'm sorry I was selfish.

I'm recording this because I have something to tell you.

I will always love you.

We've finally found a clue.

Tetsuya Sasagawa

That's the first step.

I will find the truth,

Dad.

Aspersions Cast on Minister of Welfare Atsushi Shindo

Have some tea, dear.

Thank you.

I will see this through to the end,

Akira.

I got it.

I await your next report.

Yes, help them both.

Thank you, Hinakawa.

I am currently awaiting a judgment that could begin at any moment.

But that also means that I've been liberated from this society.

The truth of our society will finally come to light.

What will people believe when it does?

With Governor Koriyama out of favor, new candidates are stepping up.

There's a great turnout at the election parade.

Kosuke Yakushiji

Kosuke Yakushiji, independent, endorsed by the Eugenics Party.

Karina Komiya

Karina Komiya, independent, endorsed by the Affirmation Party.

I have to protect her.

I...

...can't go on like this.

All my fans...

I doubt you'll get out unscathed.

This calls for drastic measures.

On the contrary...

You'll be erased.

It's only a matter of time.

The Hues of the hotel staff who found the body have deteriorated.

We're still identifying the victim.

Understood.

We'll perform on-site care on arrival.

Bodies like that are the worst. They're all gooey.

You might hurl, Inspector.

Don't worry. I'll be fine.

What is this, The Inugami Murders?

What's that?

The body matches a guest. Room's also been identified.

The victim is Kojo Tsuchiya, age 61.

Former professor of neuroscience at Toto College of Science.

Receiving psychological treatment here due to Hue deterioration.

At a high-class hotel like this?

It's more relaxing than a hospital.

Care only the rich can experience, huh?

His Hue deteriorated despite the treatment, so he killed himself.

Case closed. Time to leave.

But still,

now that we're here, we may as well go over his room, too.

Fine.

What are you doing?

Two people.

Judging by their footprints, both over 180 cm tall,

and at least 100 kg.

Bodyguards who had enhancement surgeries?

Most likely.

OK.

Stop, little crime labs.

How obedient and adorable.

Yeah, obedient. Unlike us.

Why do you think he threw it out?

Maybe he dropped it?

It's practically a necessity. He'd look for it if he dropped it.

It wouldn't be hard to find here.

The TV's broken.

He must've thrown a bottle or something at it.

These are almost certainly Dr. Tsuchiya's fingerprints.

He tried to open the window.

He must have known it wouldn't open.

He was trying to jump from the window.

Or he was trying to leave the room.

Let me take a dive.

There's a good chance this was a suicide. Don't go too deep.

I know.

It's raining.

No. Concentrate.

Focus on Dr. Kojo Tsuchiya.

What are they doing?

Did seeing the body cloud their Hues?

Analyzing

What's going on?

The rain is over.

Arata, the rain is over.

It went back.

He's finally lost it.

He fell from there.

Huh?

You idiot!

That scared me.

That's my line!

He was headed for the lift climber?

He tried to contact someone, but his device was offline.

There were guards outside.

Maybe he was confined under the pretext of Hue improvement.

So he tried to get out somehow,

then, Inugami Murders?

If there had been water in the pool, he'd have had a slight chance of survival.

It happened to be under construction.

The door and TV also malfunctioned, fanning his fears.

That window happened to come loose.

A chain of malfunctions. Like the transport drone crash.

The guy behind that got arrested, right? Even if Foreign Affairs got him.

"There are other foxes."

Hm... That's bugging me, like a needle stuck in my throat.

Then let's look until you're satisfied.

Dr. Tsuchiya.

He was on idol and gubernatorial candidate Karina Komiya's psychological care staff.

He was care staff, but he was receiving treatment for his own Hue deterioration?

He must've had a rough job.

Komiya's agency paid all his hotel bills.

They even built the doctor a lab inside the agency.

We'll have to speak with that idol, then.

Then there's one more person to talk to: Kosuke "Heracles" Yakushiji.

Who's Heracles?

Don't you watch the news?

You don't know Yakushiji?

That's our bean sprout of an inspector for you.

Bean sprouts are full of nutrients.

I bet you've never had them.

I'll show you a good restaurant.

Probably a place in the slums, knowing you.

Really? I can't wait!

Anyway, Heracles is his old ring name. He's a strong contender for governor.

He's vying with Komiya for the top spot.

I'll leave Heracles to you, then, Kei.

Got it. I'll let you out up ahead.

Don't look at me

Like you've made up your mind About who I am.

I want to smile more.

Throw away my tears.

FIRE BURNING WOMAN! Stand up now.

This era will change me.

Wow, she's cute.

She's sure got glitz and glamor.

Karina Komiya. Became an entertainer at age 4, following Sibyl's determination.

When she was 9, her parents divorced from disputes over fee management.

She had it rough.

It happens all the time.

She changed agencies at age 12.

She joined the Sibyl-authorized idol group Existence.

However, the other members became latent criminals and the group disbanded.

She went solo at 17.

She succeeded as a pop star, fashion leader, and mental celebrity.

After winning an Asia Grammy Award for "FIRE BURNING WOMAN," she retired.

She became a politician at her peak, saying she was obeying Sibyl suitability.

Why did she want to be a politician?

Well, they're mostly figureheads,

but debating policy with Sibyl is still the work of politicians.

They can do more than you'd think.

You know about politicians, too?

A lot of them end up in the slums, you know.

Your vehicle has arrived.

Still, all but the frontwoman became latent criminals? What's with that?

They could've gone down together.

You've got bad taste, huh, Irie?

Maybe it's my upbringing.

Aren't you going to drive?

I have a license, but would you mind driving for me?

I'm an enforcer.

Is there a problem?

People say fierce competition leads to Hue deterioration,

but Sibyl recognizes the utility of sports.

A good game clears the Hues of players and spectators alike.

The Human Vs. Mechanics Championship, H.V.M.

A Sibyl-approved combat sport limited to robot opponents, huh?

The athletes dope at pharmaceutical companies,

and produce children based on genetic determination.

Yakushiji's a prime example.

He's a genetic elite who'd win gold in every event if the Olympics came back.

That was a splendid match!

A healthy mind dwells in a healthy body.

The Sibyl System proves that through our Hues.

Everyone in this arena already knows who's the best choice

to be the next governor, am I right?

To be a Heracles!

To be a Heracles!

To be a Heracles!

I'm Karina Komiya.

Are you a real detective?

I've played one on TV, but this is my first time seeing the real thing.

I'm a little nervous.

I'm the one who's nervous.

What is the Public Safety Bureau's business?

You know Dr. Kojo Tsuchiya, don't you?

Everyone at the agency relied on him as part of our psychological care staff.

I'm sad he's gone.

Could it have been suicide, like they said on the news?

We aren't sure. Was there some sort of trouble?

Well...

No, forget I asked that.

Huh?

If there was, you wouldn't tell me, right?

I can tell you.

Although Dr. Tsuchiya was very skilled, he ended up stalking me.

As a result, his Hue became unsuitable.

A stalker, huh?

Cute girls always have to deal with them, don't they?

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

It was thanks to Komiya's kindness that we received Tsuchiya's expensive care.

Yeah, I thought so.

I'm sorry, but we're busy with the election. We can't take more time.

Yes, thank you for your cooperation.

Oh, may we look at Dr. Tsuchiya's lab?

Yes. I'll have someone take you there.

Now if you'll excuse me, detective.

Good luck, Karina!

Thank you!

Thanks for your support!

I don't know about this.

She's quite scary.

She only talked to me, and didn't even glance at you, Irie.

And she always said "detective," not "detectives."

So she won't even talk to a latent criminal?

I never said anything about you being an enforcer.

She'd never seen a detective.

If that's true, she saw one of us was a latent criminal without prior knowledge.

All her band mates became latent criminals, but she alone stayed clear.

It's not just strength of will. She has Mentalist talent.

If she were a criminal...

She'd be a menace.

Stupid perfection in your own castle

How smart. You cause me to yawn

Look, The key to the door is in your hand

Don't you let anyone take control

What do you want?

Go get it. Play by your own rule

The winner always controls the game

You stand in your belief

There's no promising future

Always helpless Crying for the moon

Finger trembles in fear With the weight of the trigger

There's a way for us

Show them how we fight

Pull the trigger

"Psycho-Pass" refers to the measurement of a person's mind and personality.

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real persons or groups is coincidental.
