I'M GETTING SICK OF THIS
[grunts]
I wasn't expecting you
to actually be waiting.
People are supposed to greet
their superiors, I thought.
[Tosaki] If a decision has been made,
hurry up and say it.
Sir you're being removed
from the Ajin Control Commission.
It's only natural.
The Man With The Hat did all that killing.
And tonight,
you let Nagai and Nakano escape.
That can't be
Mr. Tosaki.
[Tosaki] What will happen to me?
I told you before. You'll go to hell.
[sighs]
But the situation has suddenly changed.
I would say that you might even have
a shred of hope left after all.
Come on, let's go.
What happened?
The Man With The Hat
has made a second threat.
[gasps]
MESSAGE FROM SATO
Today, I determined
that we will begin the second wave.
Humans have brashly and without shame
escalated their oppression of Ajin.
The theme of the second wave
is "cleansing."
Using information Tanaka overheard
while he was being held,
we've made a list of 15 representatives
of the organizations conspiring
against us.
And if the government doesn't
promptly agree to all my demands,
we will find these 15 individuals
and assassinate them.
[gasps]
This was downloaded from AJIN.net.
[Tosaki]
Dr. Kishi, and even the minister
The Man With The Hat has two demands:
First, they want you to give official
and detailed reports
on all profits the government
and its affiliates
have gained
from its experimentation on Ajin.
Second,
give Ajin the right to citizenship.
[Tosaki] Forget it! We can't do that!
Correct.
So, you need to somehow stop Sato
before he manages
to assassinate the minister.
This is truly your last chance, sir.
[groans]
Whatever the case may be,
using human lives as shields
and making demands such as these
is the height of depravity,
and we are disgusted by this.
[man] Does this mean you don't plan
to give in to Sato's demands?
Not only have we never experimented
on Ajins as they claimed,
the government does not give in
to terrorism.
We will take whatever action is necessary
to ensure the fastest possible resolution.
[woman over TV] That was footage
of a press conference
with the Chief Cabinet Secretary
that was held two days ago.
SEARCHING
NO MESSAGES
Since the Ajin Sato made
his second threat,
an emergency headquarters has been
set up at the prime minister's residence,
and all related agencies are working
to gather information.
[Nagai] Ignore him.
The best defense is to act natural.
Seventeen- and 18-year-olds all look
the same.
All over Japan, I'm sure kids
that look like me are being told as much.
Hey, Nagai, let's go!
[sighs]
[Nagai] How stupid is this idiot?
Hey, got any tissue?
[woman over TV]
This is Sato and the other Ajin.
If you come across any of them,
please contact the police immediately.
Wait
Oh.
Hey, the kid that was over there
They said
I think we should contact the police.
FUJI SOBA NOODLES
Look, I'm glad we're on the road and all,
but what's the plan?
Got any ideas?
[grunts]
WHO ARE THE AJIN?
Well?
Actually I'm getting sick of this.
I wish I could have stayed
with the old lady.
You can go ahead
and decide everything now.
In that case, let's go find Sato!
[tires screeching]
Are you stupid?
[sighs]
[grunts]
Listen to me, there is no way
we can beat him now.
Besides, even if we did know where he was,
what could a couple of kids like us do?
How would we actually stop him?
Put him in a cage?
And then what?
There's gotta be something we can do.
Oh, yeah? Like what?
The way I see it,
we only have two advantages.
The first is, you and I are smarter
than your average adult.
Huh?
We don't have tranquilizer guns
or a place to imprison Ajins,
but we can improvise.
Remember when I told you that there are
other ways to neutralize people forever?
-You did?
-I did!
For example,
there were ruins of an old well
deep in the mountains near the village.
The point is that there's no air
in the shaft.
That's because the bacteria found
in that soil consumes all of the oxygen.
If a person enters a place without oxygen,
they immediately lose consciousness.
For an Ajin, it's an endless loop.
Our second advantage is,
we already have the most important skill
there is for fighting.
[Nakano] Hmm.
If you could have a battle advantage,
which of these would you choose?
One, physical strength.
Two, a strategic mind.
Three, immortality.
Physical strength!
That's right.
Everyone would choose immortality.
Huh?
If we use these,
we should be able to fight back.
Yeah, but--
But Sato has us beat in terms
of numbers, supplies and experience.
You want to fight him alone? Heh.
That's funny.
So, what is it we should be doing now?
Working out?
No, finding allies.
What we need are some adults
who can provide us with powerful support.
[exclaims]
[tires screeching]
What are you doing now?!
Allies, right? I've got an idea!
-Well, explain it first!
-Just leave it to me!
[sighs]
CHECKING SERVERS
YOU HAVE NO NEW MESSAGES
Damn it. Still nothing.
They're gone.
But he said he'd keep them locked up.
You idiot. There's no way
he'd leave them in the same place.
-Don't call me an idiot!
-Well, you are an idiot!
We came to a place where Sato was?
Do you know how dangerous that is?
What does danger have to do with it?!
[sighs]
[phone beeps]
YOU HAVE ONE NEW MESSAGE
Thank God. Finally.
What's that e-mail?
Before they found me,
I ordered a background check
on the Ajin Control Commission.
This is it.
One of them is a pretty interesting guy.
BACKGROUND REPOR
[Nakano] That guy
[Tosaki] We've expanded the search
to other prefectures,
including Kanagawa, Chiba and Saitama,
but we've found no leads
regarding Sato's whereabouts.
As for countermeasures, we plan
to capture him when he comes to attack.
Dr. Wakai is the first person
on his hit list.
I've told the police to treat this as
if they were protecting a head of state.
I'm sure you understand, Tosaki.
If I were to be killed, that would be
the end of your worthless life as well.
Yes, sir.
NAME: YUU TOSAKI
[laughs]
This is good stuff, Nakano.
Very interesting.
His fiancée is in a coma, and he's footing
the medical bills himself.
And it's not an amount
he can easily pay off.
He's got a reason to stop Sato
and protect his own position.
[sighs]
Most importantly,
his lover is his weakness.
We can use that.
[grunts]
How is this fun for you?
Mr. Tosaki.
It's almost time for the council meeting.
Those damn Ajin
[laughing]
[woman] Yuu
Hey, Yuu.
-Won't you quit smoking?
-Not that again.
I know.
But I want us to be together
for as long as possible.
[laughing]
No matter what happens,
there has to be a chance.
Let's go, Shimomura.
[phone ringing]
INCOMING CALL
UNKNOWN CALLER
[man over phone] Turn on the TV.
Who is this? How did you get this number?
Just turn on the TV. Now.
[woman over phone]
The high-speed pursuit
between the police
and a stolen vehicle continues.
We've been told that the fugitive Ajin,
Kei Nagai, is aboard
-Kei Nagai?!
-[Nagai] That's right.
And you should be able to guess
where we're going!
Uh--
Damn it! The battery died!
[woman] Police have already warned locals,
asking them to remain indoors.
Wait, that street
They are moving to apprehend the Ajin
and his accomplice.
That bastard
TOUTO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
[tires screeching]
You've got your earpieces and fake IDs?
I'm going in through the rear.
Copy that.
The suspects have entered the hospital.
We'll make the arrest.
We'll go in from the front and the back!
[car approaching]
What--?
Who are you?
-Excuse me, sir!
-All of you wait outside. We're going in.
[both panting]
What the hell, Nagai?! What's your plan?!
-I'll explain later! You hide!
-Where?!
I don't care! Just use your ghost to stop
his men when they come to capture me!
Ghost? You mean, those black monsters?!
I can't make those things!
-That isn't funny.
-I'm serious!
The first time I saw one,
it totally freaked me out!
Whatever, just hide.
This'll be harder if you're around!
Huh?
-Let's go.
-What do you think he's after?
Maybe it's revenge.
Or maybe Nagai is involved with Sato.
[Shimomura] Isn't this dangerous?
What is your job?
My job is to
It's to protect you.
If I die, there's no future
for you either.
So fight, for your own sake.
[woman] There's a solemn atmosphere
hanging over the scene!
The police have surrounded the building
and started evacuating,
possibly out of fear
that this is Ajin terrorism!
Want to know the truth? I never wanted
to see your face again, Mr. Tosaki.
Too bad, because you and I will be seeing
each other every day from now on,
right through the glass.
I want to talk.
Let's keep this civil.
Then why don't we go outside?
It's a beautiful day.
You try anything and I'll summon my ghost.
It will attack without orders.
Even if you knock me out,
that won't stop it from doing damage.
[scoffs]
[Nagai]
It probably won't end well for you.
And especially
not for this woman right here.
I swear I'll kill you.
[grunting]
[gasps]
[screams]
Huh?
Wait! Don't shoot!!
-Nagai! You don't have to do this!
-Stay out of it, Nakano!
Sir? Do we shoot?!
Kill me if you can!
[grunting]
Don't shoot!
Idiot!
-Nagai!
-Kill her!
Stop!
I'm getting sick of this.
That thing
always does the opposite
of what I command.
[Nakano sighs]
What is it you want?
It's summer.
Sunlight would pour into the classroom.
My sweaty hands would stick
to my notebook.
It was quiet and boring,
but it was civilized.
You never wanted it this way either,
did you?
No. And it's all your fault.
Wrong! It's not my fault this happened.
And it's not your fault either.
We're the same.
I came here to make a deal with you.
As if I could trust an Ajin!
I don't really understand what's going on,
but I do know one thing.
We plan to take down Sato,
no matter what it takes!
For her sake as well. So, if you arrest--
So, listen, we'll be your pawns!
Your immortal soldiers!
That's right! So
Huh?
What's the situation?
The suspects have been arrested.
We'll take care of the rest.
[officer] By the way,
was it really Kei Nagai?
No, it was someone else.
Just looked like him.
-Oh--
-Ah?
SEPTEMBER 3RD
Oh, summer vacation was over.
MESSAGE FROM SATO
Oh, it's started.
Hello. We meet once again. It's Sato.
As far as I know, the government has
not yet responded to my demands.
So I decided to get started.
[muffled whimpering]
That's right, with the top
of the batting order, Dr. Wakai.
All right, batter up.
[muffled screaming]
[gunshot]
And this is the beginning
of the countdown.
When the second wave finishes,
we'll move on to the third wave.
The third and final wave.
I am going to take over this country.
You think it's just some corny dream?
I will do it.
Count on it.
