Episode 3

1 [music playing.]
[explosions.]
I asked who you were.
[smooches.]
"One of the voices is eternally angelic.
It is about me.
Sharply expresses itself, those thousand questions spreading their roots bring in the end only drunkenness and madness.
- Understanding - Is she with you, too?! so gay, so easy.
It is only wave, only flower, and that is your family! And then a voice, how angelic it is.
" [woman vocalizing.]
[wheels grinding.]
Hey, Eric, any activity in the Huh? What're youHey! What the hell are you doing?! Quit shoving! That hurts! Have you lost it?! Hang on a second, Genie! Did you ever get your license renewed?! Slow down, would you?! Where the heck you taking me?! Yaah! [man.]
We don't have any other choice.
We have to try.
[man #2.]
What are you talking about? That plan would never work.
[woman.]
Then what do you suggest? [Mario.]
Try and remain calm, everyone! I know all of you are worried.
The Royal Police's Hazmat is dealing with the situation as we speak, Bear with us just a bit longer.
[man #3.]
You've been singing the same song all night! [man #4.]
Tell the truth! What's going on?! [crowd murmuring.]
What now? I honestly don't know.
There's not a lot we can do at a time like this.
We're going to make it out in one piece, aren't we? [Red laughs.]
Ugly.
How ugly.
Death is knocking at your door, and this is the way you behave? I'm not like you people.
I'm someone special! I'm the one who'll go down in history as the very embodiment of terror, so I'll embrace death with my head held high! [wild laughter.]
No finesse.
It's like he just slapped his code together.
Tech skills, one.
Specs are an uninspired plagiarism.
Originality, zero.
I give offense and defense a one.
Overall grade, D.
[sighs.]
A third-rate hack of a malware writer, huh? Disappointing, but that means 2,700 seconds left.
I could kick his ass three times over with time to spare.
[wheels grinding.]
[gasps.]
"It is about me.
Sharply expresses itself and sings at this moment like a sister to breath.
With a German tone, but ardent and full.
The world is vicious.
You can't deny it.
If that surprises you.
" The king has landed.
I'll have my audience in front of his father's grave.
[gasps.]
Hmm.
[alarm beeping.]
[gasping.]
I'm in deep shit.
Are you frickin' kidding me?! - Got it.
I take it - [Blue muttering.]
the black swan has taken flight as planned, then.
I suppose I'll use the clowns to make my exit from here.
[glove creaks.]
Crap.
There's no way I can keep up with this guy.
Damn it, I'm getting my ass kicked here.
Can we please be done with this?! Whoever this is, he's the real deal! We gotta jump ship.
Hey, are you listening to [gags.]
Being oblivious to danger is proof one has deteriorated as a living thing.
Bye-bye.
- [grunting.]
- [sawing.]
[gasps.]
It stopped.
The counterattack attempts have stopped.
Did he realize he was going to lose? No way.
He isn't that fast on the uptake.
Maybe it's a trap to lure us into the building, or it could be they're using some kind of tactic to confuse us and slow us down, or maybe they found themselves in a situation they didn't plan for.
Sink or swim time.
Whatever's happening out there, it doesn't leave us many options.
We'll have to take the bait, play it by ear.
Jean, put me through to the hazmat team.
On it.
[computer whirring.]
- It's open.
- We're saved.
- [officer.]
They're coming out! - [officer #2.]
Call it in! [cell phone ringing.]
Eric, it's Kaela.
You can just put her on speaker.
- [typing over phone.]
- Eric? Yes, Kaela, it's me.
You're on speaker.
I'm at headquarters with Jean, Abbot, and Brody.
I'd prefer to take the call like this.
I got the building's systems back online.
That's excellent.
Now I need you to locate the poison gas.
I'm already on it, but there's something bugging me.
Hmm? What is it? While I was attacking the system, the criminals made several desperate attempts to stop me from getting in their way, but now they've gone dark.
It's gone dark? Hmm.
Could be a trap.
- [crowd screaming.]
- [man.]
No! It's the gas! Run! [gasps.]
[groans.]
[gasping.]
[Eric.]
Mario, report! Somebody talk to me! Brandon, Lily, respond, damn it! I can't believe this.
Shit.
[typing over phone.]
Kaela, if you manipulate the building's HVAC system and direct the flow of air, you should be able to divert gas into empty parts of the building! Get on it! There's a risk airtight rooms will become starved of oxygen.
Plus if anyone's still in those rooms, they'll I'll take responsibility! Worry about the gas! Hurry! There's no time to waste! Roger that.
[fan whirring.]
[groans.]
[gasps.]
[groans.]
Zeppole diSan Gius [Eric.]
Boris, what's your current location? Is Keith with you?! Yeah, he's here! We're northbound on Route 8! Route 8? Why are you out there? No idea! Take it up with Keith! [screaming.]
Keith, we have an emergency on our hands! - Get back here immediately! - Hmm? The gas was released throughout the tower.
What?! Run that by me again! We can't get ahold of any of our people who were inside the building! - Genie, we have to head back! - [Eric continuing.]
- Don't worry.
- [yelps.]
[car horn honking.]
[Keith.]
Sorry, Eric.
Deal with it yourself.
What are you talking about, you idiot?! Lily and the kids are in there.
[Keith.]
If it's been released.
- [gasps.]
- If it has been released, then the gas is fake, a dispersal meant to throw the scene into chaos.
They're trying to buy time and probably cover their escape.
Where's your proof? [Keith.]
Didn't you see it? The criminal is a myopic thinker, an immature narcissist.
He's your basic dumb, self-absorbed kid obsessed with superficial aesthetics.
That's harsh, even for you.
When a narcissist is writing his autobiography, his death is a critical component.
Slowly dying in agony as his skin blisters from a modified corrosive gas, you think he'd be okay going out like that? Look through the old profiles again.
Nothing's there.
Doesn't happen.
[Eric.]
You might be right.
Everything you've said is still just a theory.
The fact of the matter is we can't contact anyone inside.
It's a knockout gas, Eric.
Come on.
This incident and the IFV theft have the same structure.
A sophisticated mind is working toward another objective under the cover of this chaos.
In other words, some group is leeching off of crimes to carry out their own carefully planned ones.
Come to think of it, they might even be manipulating crimes that seem like random occurrences.
A cycle of madness is getting ready to break out.
We won't find our answers on the surface, but behind the scenes.
SOMEONE IS COMMITTING MEANINGLESS CRIMES FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF LURING OUT B.
You're late.
Kamui wouldn't leave until he made his stupid trash.
But the boys were so excited about it, as they were able to bring their lamentable lives to an end as part of my magnificent collection.
That means they were pathetic to the very end, weren't they? [laughs.]
Kamui, you haven't forgotten about our objective, I trust? Of course not.
That was just playtime.
The objective was accomplished just fine.
And yet I don't see him here with us.
You've selective hearing regarding my orders, a bad habit.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, Minatsuki, do we really have to lug the black-winged king all the way back with us? Yes.
Those are our orders.
And do we have to bring him back alive? Yes.
That's all we want.
I welcome you to Divine Days.
A few days every October, Lake Lenan becomes a gateway to the kingdom of God.
Souls dance with joy in the dark.
[splashing.]
[singer vocalizing.]
Isn't it beautiful, countless lights in the darkness? I absolutely love this place.
Just one little light can be enough to keep you from fearing the dark or losing your way.
Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you? Light represents hope.
You can save your nonsense.
Tell me where she is! If you don't start talking right now, I'll kill you! My, you're so easy to read.
Is she your light? Are even your cherished memories of her vague? Let me guess.
You don't know much about yourself either, do you? That's why I can hear your desperate shouting so clearly.
"Look at me! I'm right here! You see?! I'm alive! I'm alive! Somebody find me!" [laughing.]
I hate to tell you this, but the only things here are us and the spirits of the dead.
Out of all of us, I'm the only one who's actually spent time with you, however briefly.
There was even a time I lived only for you.
We watched these very lights together.
That's the reason why I lured you all the way here.
- I wanted to make you remember.
- [gasps.]
Oh, dear.
There go all my hopes.
That's depressing.
Koku I've been thinking lately about the identity of the person who locked away your memories.
[chuckles.]
I've figured it out at last.
Tell me where she is.
The one who locked away all of those memories was none other than you, yourself.
I bet you wanted to forget it all everything that happened that day everything.
However if you think you can forget me, you're dead wrong.
[slurps.]
I won't let you, and I'll never forgive you for not choosing me! [Keith.]
Where the heck is this? - How should I know? - Hmph.
So do you mind filling me in? What in the world are you chasing after, Keith? I'm not sure.
Huh? It's just something I need to chase down.
Yes, but what are you chasing down? Don't know.
I wish I knew.
[shudders.]
Do yourself a favor, and cut off my left leg.
It'll be useful to you someday.
Touch Canopus.
Do that, and [Koku.]
Canopus? [woman groans.]
Can you tell me your name? Zeppoledi San Giuseppe.
Do you know where you are right now, miss? I'm [gasps, yells.]
[overlapping chatter.]
[Lily gasping.]
Careful not to sit up so quickly.
Are you feeling queasy? Any discomfort? We're alive? I remember seeing gas flood into the room, but nothing after that.
They say it was just knockout gas.
But one thing's for sure.
They got us good this time.
[Lily.]
So you're saying our whack-job of a perp was bluffing the entire time? Well, no.
There's apparently evidence to the contrary.
What does that mean? It means they did find the poison gas.
They just didn't use it for some reason.
- But, uh - Hmm? [Mario.]
The way they found it wasn't exactly normal.
[gags.]
Looks like we just missed 'em.
[distant sirens.]
[Brandon.]
In addition to the criminals' skins, they've also found their remains.
- [Lily.]
Where? - Uh I think you're better off not knowing.
If I told you, it'd probably make you lose your appetite for a while.
See, this ominous feeling has been nagging at me.
- Hmm? - Hmm? [overlapping chatter.]
[Lily.]
Don't these latest cases seem a bit strange to you? I mean, as far as I know, we didn't get any answers in this case, either, right? I feel like something strange is going on in this city.
- [distant sirens.]
- You get all serious for once, and that's what you choose to talk about? But you should listen to your gut.
I think it's right.
I'm positive it is! Though when it comes to me, "gut" has another meaning.
You're right, but we've got trouble coming.
We have to do something.
[Mario.]
"I shall faithfully uphold the constitution of the Kingdom of Cremona and comply with all orders decreed by our king.
I shall place them before my duties as an officer of the law and demand they be obeyed.
" "And with favor toward none and with fear toward nothing, without malice or ill will, obeying only my inner conscience" "to safeguard the kingdom, as well as the freedom and rights of all her citizens, I solemnly swear to carry out my duties as an officer of the law!" - Someday I'll be gone - The day we took that oath, the three of us became cops, and damn good ones.
We just have to keep solving cases one after another.
Honestly, that's all we can do.
But, as small as they are, as those victories add up, they'll eventually grow into a clue that will hopefully lead us right to a breakthrough, 'cause that's what I think.
And having said all of that, I still have no earthly idea when that breakthrough is gonna happen for us.
You're right.
Therefore, thinking about all that other stuff is a waste of time, right? Yeah, I get it.
From now on, I won't think anymore! What?! That's not what he meant! Cursing shadows Hunt and gather In the city of no answer As we follow Endless questions Hands up In the same reflection Sometimes we try to feel How things just used to be In yesterdays Now or never, Make it better No one ever lives forever Wake me up, and let me go Someday I'll be gone To somewhere we all belong For so long Subtitle translation By David Fleming
