Ajin (2016) s02e02 Episode Script
I'm Surrounded by Idiots
[woman] The car chase between the police
and a stolen vehicle continues.
That bastard!
[Nakano] Nagai! You don't have to do this!
[Nagai] Stay out of it, Nakano!
What is your job?
To protect you.
I never wanted to see your face again.
Kill her!
Stop!
[Nagai]
I came here to make a deal with you.
As if I could trust an Ajin!
We plan to take down Sato, no matter what!
So listen We'll be your pawns!
As your immortal soldiers!
-[man] The suspects have been arrested.
-[officer] Was it really Kei Nagai?
[man] No, it was someone else.
Just looked like him.
[on TV] Hello. We meet again. It's Sato.
As far as I know, the government has
not yet responded to my demands.
-[muffled grunting on TV]
-So I decided to get started.
That's right, with the top
of the batting order, Mr. Wakai.
[muffled grunting continues]
All right batter up.
[muffled screaming]
[gunshot on TV]
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.

I'M SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS
Now, look. Don't mess up the portions.
I know!
Jeez, you're starting to sound
like Okuyama more and more.
We'll only die if you screw things up.
[both laughing]
Just like him, or what?
Good one, good one!
All right. All finished.
Looks fantastic.
You could get an Oscar nomination
for something like this.
BOARDING PASS
[printer whirring]
Here. Go, give this to Sato.
-You're sure you got two seats?
-Yep.
And it definitely can't be traced, right?
If only you had this much concern
about your marksmanship, you know?
Shut up.
It'll be fine. The card I used
was under another name.
I used info for the card
I bought from a Russian site.
They had quite a few with Japanese names.
That, and the transaction was done
using virtual currency. It's untraceable.
Really?
The world has certainly changed
quite a lot while I was away.
A middle school kid could do this stuff
if they wanted to.
[man] Tanaka
Who the hell?!
Careful there! It's me!
Mr. Sato, is that you?
Looks good, doesn't it?
Are you sure Okuyama can really do this?
He kind of sucks.
Normally,
you'd be the one doing this sort of thing.
But your face is too well known.
Anyway, we'll be fine.
[Nagai grunting]
[in strained voice]
Why do I have to do this
[grunts, then pants]
I had enough.
You haven't even hit 20 yet!
That's because I'm a white-collar guy.
[man] Yes,
people are suited for different roles.
But you've put on about four kilos
in the last 40 days.
You've got to drop that, at least.
This place is getting to be
like a sweatshop.
-[Tosaki] Kei Nagai!
-[sighs]
Keep going. Don't slack off.
Ah. I should've killed you
when I had the chance!
[Tosaki] I'll pickle you in formaldehyde!
What an ass
-[grunting]
-[Nakano] Huh?
What? Three more sets?!
That's twice as many as Nagai has to do!
[man]
Like I said, we each have our role.
-You're our muscle.
-What?
You make me sound like a meathead.
Enough complaining.
When you're done, I'll show you
how to use the tranquilizer guns.
Seriously?! I'll hold you to that!
[grunting]
[Nagai] Hm.
[Nagai grunting]
[Shimomura] Mr. Tosaki.
We just got a call from Sokabe, and he
said Sakurai won't change his schedule.
I see. Honestly.
A business trip at a time like this
it's just reckless.
He said they've increased the size
of the police escort,
and he may be safer at his destination
Anyway
Shimomura.
I want you to relocate here
as soon as you can.
We have to put all of our focus
on our planning
in order for us to be able
to capture Sato.
Understood.
To make this work,
we'll have to figure out exactly
what we have that Sato doesn't.
This will be our forward base.
[exhales sharply]
[Nagai gasps]
You'll never lose weight
if you drink that junk.
I need a little sugar
after all that working out.
That was just a bit of muscle training.
-Nagai, Nakano.
-[gasps]
[grunting]
What is it?
There's someone we want you to meet.
Follow me.
Okay.
Huh?
What is it, Nakano?
Ms. Shimomura
is really hot, isn't she?
You think she's with Tosaki?
They're always together.
No, I don't think so.
I mean, she's an Ajin after all.
-What?!
-You mean you didn't notice?
She summoned a ghost in the hospital,
right?
And when we escaped the village
-I wonder if she's got a boyfriend
-[sighs]
What are you doing?
Come on, hurry up.
[door opens, then closes]
-Oh
-Who's this?
Ikuya Ogura.
He does Ajin research in America.
And a genius.
You're Kei Nagai.
The third Ajin found in Japan.
I'm Nakano.
Ajin are fascinating.
They somehow give a hint of worth
to our meaningless lives.
-I'm Nakano--
-Mind if I smoke?
Actually, cigarettes bother me.
-[coughing]
-[Ogura] Nagai.
Why do you think it is
that people eventually die?
Because their hearts stop?
There's a limit to the number of times
their cells can regenerate.
Once you go over that limit, regeneration
stops, and then life functions cease--
No. It's because
that's what the universe decided.
Ogura, let's stay on topic.
Get to the point.
According to "Tazaki"
on the other side of that camera there,
you've got a rather odd IBM.
It's Tosaki.
-Let's see it.
-What?
What?!
It might kill you.
You sound like
a cigarette packaging warning.
Are you sure, doctor?
-Of course not!
-Settle down.
How else can I make a proper diagnosis?
But you won't be able to see it.
I'll see it if you come at me
like you're going to kill me.
The shape is plain, the density is high.
It's remarkable
that it's so clearly visible.
[IBM]
This place is like a sweatshop
-I really gotta piss.
-Speak.
[Ogura] Just like in the report.
It does the opposite of what
it's ordered to do.
-Seems twisted, through-and-through.
-[laughs]
Why me?
And it goes on autopilot
if it has no orders.
This really is fascinating.
[grunting]
I saw a similar example from another Ajin,
a farmer who lived in Iowa.
At first, he had the IBM weeding,
and doing simple work like that.
But then one morning a few years later,
it just spontaneously
started up the corn harvester.
It was actually riding on the tractor.
I'd say yours has been left alone
for too long.
Except the first time
that I used it was only a month ago.
[Ogura]
I don't think so. You've had it longer.
Probably since you were a little kid.
[Nakano] Watch out!!!
How should I handle this?
Just leave it.
It'll be gone in five minutes.
-Huh?
-[Ogura] What?
It's just when I was experimenting before,
I kept it out for 30 minutes once.
How many could you summon in a row?
[Shimomura] The report says five.
[Nagai] My personal record is nine.
[laughs]
That's unusual.
And the IBM is abnormally dense.
The ghost is dense?
Why is there so much?
Actually,
Sato said something like that, too.
Hey, Nagai! Look at my shirt!
-You're a blue-collar guy, aren't you?
-This is red!
This level of density would only be
possible given a very long time frame
No,
it couldn't just be the length of time
The density of IBMs also change
based on the developmental stage
of the mind and ego
How long have you actually been an Ajin?
Huh?
Like I said, it's been about a month.
[woman] Just a moment please.
Thank you for waiting.
Boarding begins 30 minutes before takeoff.
Have a pleasant trip.
Oh, I'm going to have a great time.
[man] All clear.
[IBM] Here you go
Thank you.
You're wel wal welcome.
For such a talented guy, you certainly
have a hard time using your ghost.
It's harb harder to use th
than machines.
Well, everything takes practice.
Simo Häyhä.
That's the Okuyama I know.
Well I'm off.
[man 1]
We get to Miyakojima on the second day.
[man 2]
I bet there'll be some hotties there.
[man 3] Oh, man I'm getting nervous.
[woman] Already? I told you,
my father's a nice guy. You'll be fine.
I hope there's no terrorist attacks
or anything.
Forget about terrorists.
Let's have a look at the documents.
[man 4] Hey,
did you see that guy up in first class?
Are they escorting
a prisoner or something?
[man 5] Huh?
They wouldn't transport a prisoner
in first class.
Jesus, relax, would you?
All the passengers
have had their IDs checked.
-Isn't that right?
-Yes, sir.
And they wouldn't follow us
out to Okinawa, anyway. [chuckles]
Even if they show up, we'll just grab them
and throw them in the lab.
Mr. Sakurai, please watch what you say.
[laughs]
[stewardess]
We will be taking off shortly.
[Sato] Oh
Well then.
Sir, the fasten seatbelt sign
is still
[speaks in Japanese]
Where's Sakurai?
Excuse me, sir?
[gasping]
[groaning]
[air whistling]
[stewardess screams]
What's going on?! [gasps]
Sato
Oh, there you are.
You just went to the bathroom.
Oh
[panting and grunting]
[gunshot]
[groaning]
[punch thuds]
[man whimpering]
Bon voyage.
[Nagai] So I can summon more IBMs
than Sato and his crew
I may be able to use that
to my advantage somehow.
How long have you been an Ajin?
Nagai?
Stop!
[high-pitched humming]
-[man grunts]
-[Nakano] Are you guys okay?
Hey, Nagai!
What the hell, are you crazy?
They were just teaching me
how to use them!
You're the crazy one! Stop treating
those suits like they're your friends!
What?!
Their only skill
is that they can actually die.
Besides, we've got them, and Sato doesn't.
We might be able to use them
as pawns in our strategy.
That's enough! Haven't you ever
valued human life before?!
No.
So, what about that guy they talked about
on the news?!
That friend of yours,
the one who helped you escape?
[Kaito]
I'll be fine. On my way. It's okay now.
Well, we're friends, right?
Kei, listen, you're human.
I don't need him anymore.
Personal feelings
just complicate matters.
You can't rely on them
to turn your situation around.
I've known that people destroy themselves
when they get carried away
with their emotions.
You're an asshole.
You're an idiot.
Where are Nagai and Nakano?
Come on!
Huh?
[reporter on TV]
For those of you just joining us,
at approximately 3:25pm today
Flight TA167, departing Haneda Airport
had to make an emergency landing
in the waters just off the coast.
According to official reports,
Kazuo Sakurai,
who is on the Ajin Sato's hit list,
was onboard.
Police are considering the possibility
of Sato's involvement
This is why I told him
not to take a damn business trip.
-So
-Yes.
This is Sato's work. No doubt about it.
[grunts]
You idiot.
I don't need him anymore.
Speak.
Don't knock down that tree.
Hey.
Shut up.
[Nagai grunting]
-Kill me!
-Okay.
Stop, you idiot.
What the hell?
[IBM] You're the crazy one!
I've known
You're the crazy one! [yells]
I should've killed you
when I had the chance!
I should've killed you
when I had the chance!
I should've killed you
when I had the chance!
You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!
You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!
You idiot! You idiot!
[punches thumping]
Damn it.
No matter what I do
I'm surrounded by idiots!

I should've killed you
when I had the chance!
I should've killed you
when I had the chance!
You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!
You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!
You idiot! You idiot!
[punches thumping]
Damn it.
No matter what I do
I'm surrounded by idiots!
TO BE CONTINUED
I'm tired of this one already, so ♪
I'll trade it ♪
For your ordinary one ♪
A shiny holy card ♪
For a grainy paper card ♪
You can see them all ♪
When you come to my house ♪
So, two of us
In the corner of the schoolyard ♪
While the wind blows ♪
I might be able to say it now ♪
Words I've never said to anyone ♪
"Won't you come and play
I'll be nice" ♪
"I'll give you anything, see" ♪
"Be my friend ♪
Always" ♪
