Ajin (2016) s02e04 Episode Script

[chorus singing] Close combat
I'm slashing
You who are standing in front of me
Who are you?
AJIN: DEMI-HUMAN
Running away but not forever
Chewing and swallowing reality
Shout it out
And refuse ambiguity
Though you know the danger of the dark
A type of system that is too cold
On or off
Which one is it now?
Ending up killing emotions
Over and over
No, I was just slipping through
Being destroyed, that's all
Leave me alone
Craze
I am I
Even if I am cornered
Yeah, yeah
Started with nothing but risk
From the beginning
Give it all you got
Craze
Reveal your true self, your instincts
Time to strike back
Yeah
So I slashed
Who are you?
THEY MAKE ME SICK
[man 1] Takeshi Kotobuki, age 17.
He's the one who escaped
from our facility,
only to come back voluntarily
two days later.
Get up.
[man 1] We questioned him for two weeks,
but couldn't get anywhere.
He insists he just found himself outside
and didn't know how he got there.
[man 2] Is he screwing with us?
[man 1] There's no evidence to tell us
how he got out.
An escape should be physically impossible.
[man 2] This kind of thing could affect
our budget and upset the locals.
[man 1] Right, so what about this?
What if we just forget this ever happened?
From today you'll be in this group dorm.
Get in.
Yes, sir.
You're Kotobuki, right?
You escaped, right? News gets around.
Talking isn't allowed in here.
[man] So, how'd you get out?
[Sighs]
I don't know.
Before I knew it, I was already outside.
You hear that?
[both chuckle]
[Kotobuki grunts]
I suggest that you just tell me
the truth already, huh?
-So?
-[Kaito] Yo.
Knock it off.
Number 18, finished.
I need a check, please.
[Kotobuki] Hey.
Mind your own damn business.
Oh, yeah?
Hey, Kotobuki, let's have a little talk.
Seems to me it doesn't matter if a person
lives to be 10 years old or 100.
You die either way. You know?
[Kotobuki] Yep, you're right about that.
Whoa, there.
See, the thing is,
my girl's birthday is coming up.
You follow?
No, not really. I'm a virgin.
[shouts]
Now do you follow me?
[Kotobuki] Damn it.
I shouldn't have broken out.
Is there a way out?
Not that I know of.
Everyone in here
knows the same thing that I do.
There's no way to get over that wall.
So, then someone helped you?
No way. That would never happen.
All those other guys make me sick.
[grunting]
So, tell me how you got out.
You can keep beating on me all you want,
but don't make a big thing of it.
I don't need the hassle.
Hey.
Kaito, you want something?
This isn't exactly a fair fight.
So three on two?
You mean three on one.
Keep me out of it.
You heard him.
[grunting]
What's going on? Are you fighting?!
[man] No, it's nothing.
He looked like he wasn't feeling so good.
Get back to your rooms, now!
Yes, sir.
Get in my way again, and you're dead.
[groans]
[sighs]
Before dawn this morning, Keita Iwasaki,
the Brain Science Research Center chief,
and several police officers guarding him,
were killed by an unknown assailant.
Mr. Iwasaki's name was on the list
posted to AJIN.net.
The police are investigating under the
assumption that Sato is the perpetrator.
Maybe you're just trying to do a good deed
or something, but don't bother.
It's you, right? That guy who helped
his Ajin friend get away?
Yeah.
You did all that for him,
and what did he do for you?
Kei? Kei!
He ditched me.
I thought so.
They say that you get what you give,
but the world doesn't work that way.
It was the same for me.
All you'll get
from trying to help out again
is an extended sentence
and probably some permanent injuries.
And I won't give you a damn thing either.
Even if I did have the power
to help you out.
[sighs]
[blows whistle]
[both breathing heavily]
[man on tv] Breaking news.
An armed assault has just taken place
at a hotel in the Minato ward.
Killed in the attack were
Forge Security president, Keiichi Kai,
and his aide Naomi Li.
A man thought to be the Ajin Sato
was reportedly spotted at the scene.
As the two killed were also named
on Sato's hit list,
the police have judged this
to be the work of Sato.
That leaves seven more people
until the minister.
We don't have much time left
to put our plans into motion.
I want you to make all of the training
more focused. Got it?
Okay, let's get this uploaded.
Hey, long time no see.
This is Sato, the Ajin.
We've already cleared more than
a third of the list,
but there's still been no answer
from the Japanese government.
Are our demands unreasonable?
That's not the case.
As Ajin, we just want
our most basic requests to be granted.
We want formal and detailed
public disclosure of the experiments
performed on Ajin by the government
and affiliated industries,
as well as the profits
obtained from those experiments,
and for Ajin civil rights
to be recognized.
Those are our two demands.
Our march forward may be slow,
but it is unstoppable.
In order to avoid any further victims,
we are hoping for a swift response.
We're expecting a good one.
I wonder how the government's
going to react to that.
There's nothing to wonder about.
They only ever have one answer.
[man 1] Prime Minister! How do you intend
to respond to Sato's demands?
As there have been absolutely
no experiments on Ajin,
I can only face this situation
with resolve.
[man 2] But aren't there indications
that Tanaka was experimented on
while under government protection?
I will tell you this.
The government will not yield
to terrorists.
We will stand firm,
and resolve this situation quickly.
You really shouldn't get your hopes up.
They make me sick.
That's all right.
If that's how they want to be,
we just need to act decisively is all.
Mr. Sato, got a sec?
Yes, of course.
What the heck is he doing?
He's been working on it for ages.
Mm?
[laughs] That's our secret weapon.
[grunting]
[Tosaki] They're shaping up nicely.
[man] That's because we've been
really pushing them physically.
[blows whistle]
[groaning]
-[Tosaki] What about that one matter?
-Tomorrow.
Once preparations are complete,
move on to the next phase
Yes, sir.
[woman] Mr. Tosaki.
We got a message from Sokabe.
He said there's a special meeting
this afternoon.
Special meeting?
-About the Forge Security issue?
-No, it's
Some people are coming
from the U.S. Department of Defense.
This doesn't look like
a Control Commission meeting to me.
It's the Department of Defense, right?
They might have some advice
for anti-Ajin measures.
Advice?
Like it's their place to interfere.
Sokabe hasn't told you anything, right?
Apparently, Sokabe doesn't know
any of the details either.
Right this way, please.
Thank you for your patience.
This is Douglas Almeida and Carly Myers
of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Please, go ahead.
First of all, we appreciate
you making time for us.
We've been sent here
to launch a full investigation
on the deaths of Dr. Ogura
and his bodyguard.
Both of whom were killed
in Sato's recent attack.
Therefore, we've asked everyone who was
at the research facility on that day
to join us here today.
Actually, our own investigations prove
they were definitely killed by Sato.
Is further investigation necessary?
Yes, and this matter involves
a great deal of classified information.
We'd much rather not
have you sniffing around.
[Almeida] Our plans have already been
cleared with the Japanese government.
We're too busy for this now.
You realize it's very rare
for U.S. personnel to be injured or killed
in a foreign research facility.
So, the Department of Defense must have
a detailed understanding
of the circumstances of their deaths.
During the investigation,
we'll be asking each one of you
exactly what happened on that day.
We appreciate your help.
More things we have to worry about.
[men whispering]
Why are we being investigated?
Are we getting interviewed individually?
Those black suits were from the Pentagon?
-Mr. Tosaki, what should we--?
-We're fine.
I erased the security video
of me shooting the bodyguard,
and doctored the dental records
of the researcher
whose body I used in place of Ogura's.
But we're going to need to come up
with a solid cover story.
Put together all the records for that day.
Yes, sir.
Damn it. Why now, of all times?
We can't see IBMs with our eyes,
but there are ways to detect them.
Go ahead, walk.
Shut up.
Nakano.
On it!
If you run into one directly
there are ways to take them down.
You know, just like a woman.
But of course, in the field,
it won't be this easy.
The most reliable approach
is to knock out the Ajin that summoned it.
With a normal IBM,
that will neutralize them.
You've got him pretty well housebroken.
Hmm.
[thud then Kotobuki gasps]
Wake up, Kotobuki.
This is the last time I'm gonna ask you.
You don't know when to give up.
I bet you drive your girlfriend crazy.
[grunting]
[Kotobuki screams]
My girl's birthday is tomorrow.
You do this and you're not going
to be getting out of here for a while.
Whatever.
There's no point if I can't get out today.
[Kaito] That's right.
Just stay right there,
pretend you don't see anything.
It's just your imagination.
Two days from now
I will start a protest movement!
It'll take place in front of
the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare!
[Kotobuki] It was my hesitation.
Thanks for coming.
Now I'll tell you
the real gathering place.
-I don't know about you, but I'm going.
-Me, too.
[Kotobuki] What should I do?
So, are you going to head
to the gathering place?
[grunting]
No, seems like a pain.
[Kotobuki] Yeah, he's probably right.
Look, if you don't wanna die,
then just tell me.
You bastard.
[Kotobuki] What's wrong with this idiot?
No, he's not an idiot.
He's a complete moron.
[gasping]
Didn't I tell you that I'd kill you?
[wheezing]
Basic training is done.
Starting today, it's field training.
[man] Sorry for taking so long.
Oh, no, this is great.
Once this is done,
we're gonna have a hell of a lot of fun.
Yeah, well, no one else
could come up with this.
But making it is going to take
a whole lot of explosives.
That won't be a problem.
We have some leftovers
from what Nekozawa provided us last time.
Now, then
how about we breeze through
the second half
so we can use our secret weapon?
[Kotobuki grunts]
Smoke?
I hear they're all being put in solitary.
And they won't be out for a while.
I have a secret supplier.
Don't look into it.
Hey what kind of guy is Kei Nagai?
Kei is
a good friend.
My first one.
But he left you behind, right?
Aren't you pissed?
If he doesn't need my help, I'll back off.
But if anything happens, I'm there.
No matter what it takes.
Know what?
You really are annoying.
Yeah
I know.
Hypothetically, Kaito
let's say something happens
to Kei Nagai
and you really need
to get out of this dump.
You come talk to me.
I'll only do it once
but I'll get you over this wall.
TO BE CONTINUED
[chorus singing]
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"
