Episode 9

1 [gunfire.]
I'll prove that I can do this all by myself! [laughs.]
Huh? [gunfire.]
Lily, I want you to watch this very closely.
[gasping.]
[woman vocalizing.]
18 HOURS LATER ROYAL POLICE, COASTAL BRANCH [Keith.]
I can't believe you used Lily.
INTERROGATION ROOM [Eric.]
You don't approve? Not really.
[Eric.]
So what's your endgame? I doubt you'd willingly turn yourself in without one.
My endgame? You certainly turned out to be a rather suspicious individual.
And whose fault would that be? You know what he's up to, right? The answer you've been looking for has been right underneath your noses.
[Eric.]
I see.
Let's get down to brass tacks.
Market Maker's involvement in this has made any fact-finding attempt pointless for us.
In that case, we just expose things that reflect badly on the country.
What? There's a strong possibility the leader of Market Maker is off his rocker and more than likely abusing his position.
My point, this deranged leader is deriving pleasure from tormenting me about my sister's death, and they're exploiting their position to commit a string of murders purely out of self-interest.
It's about as reprehensible as it gets, so all we have to do is inform the country.
[Eric.]
Impossible.
They run an extremely tight ship.
[Keith.]
Exactly.
An organization that orchestrates madness would never guess that madness is being spread from within.
If that's true, then there's a single disease vector, and knowing you, you've already come up with a theory as to who that vector is.
Why not act on it? Because I don't have any hard evidence at this point.
As far as I can tell, this man has religiously maintained the same routine every day for the past eight years.
Assuming he can't control his homicidal urges, getting a bead on his murder patterns gets that much harder.
Homicidal urges? So he has impulse-control disorder? Yeah, and not just him.
Are you saying he has accomplices? I wouldn't necessarily go that far.
Huh? I'm still unsure.
I figured I'd come back here to confirm it in person.
Does that mean Yeah.
The killer is close by.
We only have a few hours left to find what you couldn't in eight years.
What are you hoping to uncover in that time? Thanks to the snot-head on the other side of that mirror, nothing's gone according to plan.
I can't do a damn thing by myself in our It's taken you this long to figure that out?! It's like you've been living in a blasted fantasy world! You've got mental muscle in spades, but none anywhere else, which is why you're not able to do anything by yourself! How the hell can you be such a dumb-ass?! Eric's showing his true colors.
He can get that way now and again when he's drunk.
- [Lily.]
I never knew.
- progress in eight years, and now you have the gall to blame us?! [gasps.]
Apologies.
Everything I learned about police work, I learned from you.
That's a point of pride for me.
Every time I do something, I always ask myself, "What would Keith Flick do?" Look sharp.
That's our cue.
Took long enough.
[grunting.]
[Keith.]
What's going on here? [Eric.]
It doesn't matter how convoluted the instructions.
The team in this room can follow them to the letter.
I've assembled the very best around and have drilled into them everything that you taught me.
Any idea why? Eight years ago, after we got fed up with that show trial, we plotted to kidnap Dead Kyle and bring to light all of the heinous crimes that we had uncovered.
That said, the whole thing was my idea, but you acted on your own and left us all behind, and as a result, I found myself in the awkward position of having to arrest you.
Why would you do such a thing? Were you protecting me, or had you lost control? To this day, I still don't know.
But what I do know is that we were missing something that day, something I've found, and that is a team.
Give us our orders.
For the next few hours, you can think of our group as your personal team.
The fact is, the instant we deliver you to jail, the R.
I.
S.
will be permanently disbanded.
Let's turn this thing around with some giant killing! First off, would you mind getting rid of these cuffs? I can't do that, Keith.
You are a suspect, remember? Now what are we going to do about Market Maker? They'll definitely try to stop us.
[Keith.]
The play's already in motion.
[Keith.]
We'll use Lily as a decoy.
Absolutely not! Too risky.
I'm doing it, no matter what you say.
Where's your proof? My first day back, we met, and I planted a bug on him.
[Mario.]
I get it.
Bugs that disappear are harder to spot.
The pack only lasted for one day.
He's a heavier smoker than I remembered.
Well, did you learn anything? You could say that.
Hmm? He still talks to Erika, even now.
[all.]
Hmm? What did you say? - Kaela - Hmm? let me borrow your eyeliner for a sec.
Lily, go ahead, and take off your jacket.
Hmm? [Gil.]
Ah, Ms.
Hoshina.
What brings you by at this hour? Could I trouble you for your signature? You're running errands? Long story short, I'm the only one who wasn't busy.
Right, that thing with Genie.
It must be difficult.
Wow, these X-rays sure are strange.
Hmm? Yes, I'd have to agree.
In fact, there aren't many cases many cases of this skeletal structure.
Oh, wow.
Oh, thank you.
It's very much appreciated.
Do you still believe in him? I'm not really sure why, but Hmm? Thing is, I'll keep believing in him to the bitter end.
It's surprising he's won your trust, considering that you barely know anything about the man.
I'm not really sure why, but I always find myself thinking about him.
[Gil sighs.]
It must mean I'm in love.
[door opens.]
[Boris stammers.]
[Eric groans.]
[Kaela.]
Hmm.
What's with you guys? - That was all an act.
- [Boris chuckles.]
[Lily.]
Get your pervy minds out of the gutter.
[groans.]
[Keith.]
Anyway, now we've set the bait.
All that's left is - Uh, Keith? - Huh? I didn't know you suffered from chronic blushing.
Could this be Genie's trap, or is she What's your take, Erika? Huh? Erika? Erika, where are you? [twin.]
I've had enough! [panting.]
Savior, my freakin' ass! You're nothing but an angel of death! Hey, Kukuri Quinn, Izanami, Kamui, Takeru, they'd all be alive right now if it wasn't for you! [Minatsuki.]
Shut up.
Listen, I know more than you think, and I'm totally aware of all your horrid plans! Just you wait.
When Regulus finds out, you'll be as[yells.]
[gagging.]
[Minatsuki shuddering.]
[Laica.]
She's dead.
[panting.]
Eric, I gotta be honest here.
I wish we could have found some other way to do this.
She's a highly-trained member of the R.
I.
S.
She'll be fine.
[Boris groans.]
And you, Keith? Can't say.
Can't you say something nicer than that?! Boris, he's made contact.
Oh? Eric, the bait's been taken.
You're commuting by bus? Uh, just for today fortunately.
My car was recently totaled.
- Totaled? - [giggles.]
Well, that's another long story.
[chuckles.]
I'd be happy to give you a lift.
May I? Wow, thank you so much! [sighs.]
They're moving westbound on Route 11.
Seems like he's heading towards Lily's place, just as expected.
[Eric.]
Roger that.
We'll confirm on this end.
For now, maintain pursuit.
[Lily.]
Oh, my goodness.
I feel a lot better.
I mean it.
Thank you so much for doing this.
I commute home in this direction, so it's no trouble.
[exhales.]
My fingers feel like they were about to freeze off.
Oh, you're being silly.
It seems like something keeps bringing us together today.
Must be one of those happy coincidences.
Hmm.
Given how cold it is outside, we might see some snow if it starts raining.
Some snow, huh? Did I trigger some old memories? When you reach my age, lots of things trigger memories.
Can you tell me about it? Maybe one of these days.
If somebody's keeping something from me, I'm the type who starts poking around.
Are you okay with that? [sighs.]
Is something the matter? No, it's just that I normally have contacts on, but I'm not wearing them right now, so it looks like everything is blurry Oh, mind if I turn on the radio? Hmm? Sure.
[techno music playing.]
Erika.
[Lily humming along.]
I can hear someone humming, and considering the techno music, it must be Lily.
Wait.
Techno? Oh, yeah.
Lily loves the stuff.
Hey, she can't Is there a problem? Uh, it's nothing.
Just forget about it.
Huh? [humming continues.]
You certainly listen to odd music.
Huh? But this song is really popular.
[resumes humming.]
Erika would never listen to music like this.
Oh Hey, Eric, the target's pulled in to a local car wash.
A car wash? [brushes whirring.]
We've got movement.
He's leaving.
Just to be on the safe side, I want you to close distance and confirm Lily's safety.
[Mario.]
Roger.
I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
The target is pulling in to a building.
Eric, that isn't Lily's house.
I think it's [Keith.]
Gilbert's house.
[both gasp.]
Stick with the plan.
Continue as normal.
But Lily is with him.
[Boris.]
The car's empty.
Is Lily inside? [Kaela.]
She is, and she's on the move.
[Mario groans.]
Something's off.
None of the rooms have lights on.
[Boris.]
What do we do now? Lily was humming to techno music earlier.
After that, we lost all communication with her.
What is it? Hmm? Clear.
Clear.
[footsteps.]
[floor creaks.]
Mm-mmm.
[grunts.]
[thump echoes.]
Gilbert Ross, put your hands behind your head, and get down on your knees! What took you so long? Gilbert Ross? What took you so long? What took you so long, damn it? Who the hell are you? [suspect.]
Eight years.
It's been eight years.
The time has finally come.
And at last, we're free.
[gasps.]
Run now, Boris! Mario, hurry! - [gasps.]
- Ohh.
[beeping.]
[laughs.]
Like the cycle of death and rebirth, it will repeat itself over and over, and despite your best efforts, an indelible code will be etched into you! [static crackling.]
[gasps.]
[gasping.]
[alarm beeps.]
[Kaela.]
All signals have been lost.
[shudders.]
[Eric.]
Boris, please respond! Mario, status report! Boris! Boris! Please respond! Boris, respond! [groans.]
[Mario.]
Sorry, Eric.
You're okay! And how's Boris?! [groans.]
I'm alive somehow, but, crap, my ears ain't working so good.
What just happened? [Mario.]
The man we found inside the house - wasn't Gilbert.
- Say what? [Keith.]
He switched places with a Reggie that was waiting in the wings.
For the past eight years, he's been doing the exact same thing before committing his crimes.
[Eric.]
Then where is the real Gilbert? Put out an APB! "One of our top investigators may have been abducted.
We need people searching the area.
" But I thought our investigation here was a secret.
I will take full responsibility! [Keith.]
Wait! It's not over yet.
We keep going as is.
There's no choice! If we don't do something, - Lily will - Listen, Eric! You know emergencies are part of the process.
In the past, we've always dealt with these emergencies before they could happen.
[Keith.]
That was our mistake.
It's why we failed.
[Eric.]
Keith? [Keith.]
Any mission is going to entail unexpected factors and obstacles.
They have to be surmounted, as each has its purpose.
They always lead to something.
But what's gonna happen with Lily? [Keith.]
I won't let her die.
Trust me.
I know what I'm doing.
[footsteps.]
Keith, huh? Where'd you run off to? I was worried sick, Erika.
He's caught on to me, but I should still have plenty of time to carve her up.
It'll take some time for him to find us here.
I look forward to Keith showing off his brain and bursting in with that triumphant look on his face.
When that happens, the faint glimmers of hope blossoming inside him will be snuffed out, and fresh despair will take root in him once again.
It's the same color as hers, and it has the same feel.
Someday I'll be gone There's somewhere That we belong And God Has never played his role 'Cause I'm the one Who saves my soul It's a perfect world We're longing for So long 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
