Episode 8

1 [bell tolling.]
It sure is white in here.
And down we go.
[grunts.]
[Lily.]
The walls themselves aren't painted white.
All these formulas and diagrams overlap and form layers, making them look white.
He probably started with black, though.
The switch to white happened when the walls changed to black, but even that wasn't enough, so he added more and more clear boards as time went on.
Looking at all his thoughts like this, it's as if each wall is Keith desperately crying out for help.
[sighs.]
Lily? [Lily.]
The answer that Keith is searching so hard for I wonder what it is.
SOUTHWESTERN CREMONA MORTA ISLAND [rustling.]
[groans.]
[birds chirping.]
[woman vocalizing.]
[waves lapping.]
So, why did you save me? There are a few more things that I want to ask you.
Here.
You need to eat first.
We can have our chat later.
[Keith.]
You recognize him? I do.
He's a serial killer that went by the name of Dead Kyle, but others called him the Raven-Haired Murder Machine.
This man is the person who killed my little sister.
At least, they claim he did it.
"Claim he did it"? [kettle whistles.]
This murderer, why ask me about him? Because you might have some answers.
During his trial, he escaped from the mental hospital that was treating him, but just before he committed a new crime, he was killed by parties unknown.
This man was I honestly don't care about the details.
I know Kyle didn't kill my little sister.
She was killed in a completely different manner than the others.
So why the hell would he confess to a murder he didn't commit? How'd he know where she was killed and where the murder weapon was? [Dead Kyle.]
it will repeat itself How'd he pass his polygraph? Who is he covering for? For that matter, who the hell was the guy, this Dead Kyle? You know him, so might as well tell me.
Yeah, I knew him.
He was a Reggie who was released into the wild, and as you've probably guessed, he wasn't human.
"Reggie"? They're an ancient and powerful race of demihumans created only for killing.
Dead Kyle, when the Reggies attacked the Institute, he was with them.
I killed him.
In the end, Killer B's motives were based on revenge.
The end.
Every single one of the criminals you've killed to date were Reggies who took part in the attack on the Institute, weren't they? The burning smell was everywhere.
That day, surrounded by ash and despair, I swore a vow.
I would hunt down and kill every last one of them, and I'd find Yuna, no matter what.
And until I do, I won't let anyone stand in my way.
I don't care who they are.
[Eric.]
"Another team exists among the foot soldiers of Market Maker.
Their sole mission is manipulating social disorder, and they gather on their flagship, the 'Moby Dick.
' They sometimes brainwash humans to suit their purposes and are said to be a group that you should never cross.
" Letters drawn from a watch.
J.
H.
R.
[buzzes.]
Seems like that site hasn't been updated in some time.
[Keith.]
Oh, that.
Well, you know, I figured if I could get their attention, they might make contact, so I decided to slap together that website.
I just saw the watch.
Jean was the one who attacked Bran, wasn't he? Yeah.
Keith, please turn yourself in.
It's not too late He's here with me right now.
You mean Killer B? So you did make contact.
I also know Kyle isn't the one who killed Erika.
That's for certain.
And as I hypothesized, it turns out he wasn't human either.
That's difficult to believe, even coming from someone like you.
Won't be much longer until this is all over.
Everything that began with me deciphering the inscription is at long last getting ready to come to a conclusion, and I'll finally get the answers I need.
Keith, we should already have our answer.
We've had it for a while.
Listen to me.
Right now, you're reversing the objective and means, and you're straying off course Or am I wrong? Keith, Bran nearly got killed because of your crusade.
Anyway, come back.
Let's work something out.
They've started to make their move.
In order to eliminate me once and for all, Market Maker has finally started to take action, haven't they? You mean you planned for that, too? Eric.
Yes? I appreciate all you've done for me.
I just wanted to tell you that.
Keith? Keith! Are you there?! Keith! It's begun.
[typing.]
Lily, what's the big idea asking me to come back here at the crack of dawn? [grunts.]
Hmm? [Lily sighs.]
I have no idea what you've been doing, but are you done? Hmm? [Lily.]
You see the red writings on the ceiling? They're set up to be the only ones as mathematical formulas.
I ran the numbers three times, but there's no mistaking it.
Hey, Boris is this why Keith has kept his distance from me? Who is she? You know, don't you? [sighs.]
Is there some kind of connection between this person and Keith turning himself in? What exactly is he trying to accomplish? He wants answers.
Eight winters ago, the poor girl was sliced up from head to toe.
She was dumped in the mountains.
It was Keith's little sister they found there.
So that gold solution is a necessary component in the reuse of discarded Reggies, isn't it? I've heard it's what they use to regulate their testosterone and dopamine levels.
There seem to be various kinds of it, but that's all I'm aware of.
Why are Reggies discarded? Around age 20, their powers start to go out of control, and they lose the ability to think rationally.
Fall below a set value, and you're discarded.
By "discarded," you mean released into society at large.
Yeah.
How many are there, anyway? Grade-C goods like Kyle, I mean.
Lots of 'em.
This country is crawling with more discarded Reggies than you can imagine, and with just one signal, they'll transform into frenzied weapons [Lily.]
It's disguised as something else, so even though it's in plain sight, no one can see it.
The only way to stop them is to kill them.
[Keith.]
Let's go buy some red-bean buns.
Huh? [overlapping chatter.]
I'm only answering questions about the investigation.
I have issues with the direction this investigation is going in! I'm busy.
Come back later.
[Lily grunts.]
We could keep doing this forever, but it won't bring us any closer to finding Keith.
Get back to work.
That's an order.
I refuse.
Fine.
Then get out.
Huh?! You're just in the way here.
Leave your badge, and get out.
Huh?! Didn't you hear me? You're suspended.
- [gasping.]
- I don't have the time or need for idiots who can't obey orders.
- You're dismissed.
- [grunts.]
[Lily.]
Drop dead, you four-eyed chin with legs! Bet you didn't know everyone here calls you that, dumb-ass! Eric, it's me.
Lily's on the move.
Are you sure this is a good idea? I'm getting kinda worried.
The R.
I.
S.
is under Market Maker surveillance.
If we want to find a way to get ahead of them, this is the only option we have.
Which is all well and good, but Lily getting caught in the crossfire is my main concern.
METAMORPHISM? MARKET MAKER Boris, she's a professional.
SYSTEM REBUILD IS IMPERATIVE KAELA I'm sure that you've realized it by now, but Lily and Keith are two of a kind.
COMMANDO TEAM NECESSARY LILY They have similar thought processes, drive, and inquiring minds.
There's a reason I scouted Lily for the R.
I.
S.
over everyone's objections.
Deep down, she has abilities on par with Keith's.
I sensed it about her.
Boris, if Keith doesn't want to be found, I won't be able to find him.
It's up to Lily.
Okay.
Kaela, are you done? Almost there.
'Kay, all done! Is everything all secure now? I'm not sure yet, but at the very least, this'll keep 'em out for a while.
Here.
This red line is Lily, right? I'm curious.
Who tagged her car? Boris did.
She's gonna be pissed when she finds out.
I had to.
She doesn't have what it takes to keep up an act for long.
Yeah, I bet you're right about that.
[together.]
She's such an idiot.
[music playing.]
[no audible dialogue.]
I want a red-bean bun.
[groans.]
I don't have a single lead to go on.
No matter where I go, the results are always the same.
What the heck? I should have gone someplace where the food was good, at least.
Hmm? Isn't that the smell of those funny-tasting spices? HOLS ISLAND [Koku.]
How did you figure out that blue steel was the Reggies' weakness? [Keith.]
Same as you, I suppose.
My old man's journal.
How long do you plan to keep wandering around aimlessly? Hate to disappoint you, but there's nothing aimless about it.
We're hitting up towns that have good places to eat.
My question was how long? Until you're back at 100%.
If you've got time to gab, rub one out, and go to sleep.
You seem pretty much recovered.
Looks like you're good to fight already.
I'm guessing you have an ulterior motive for saving my life.
What is it? There's something I want your help with.
There's no reason for me to help you with anything.
That's where you're wrong.
Would you mind getting this out of my face? Can't see.
I demand an explanation.
Listen I've been digging up dirt on two men.
That's the reason I got back into the field.
I needed to see everything with my own two eyes.
That road will lead her to Hols Island.
I can't imagine Keith would have gone to a location like that.
Yeah, it's full of old men and women, not to mention tourist traps.
Keith would stand out like a sore thumb if he set foot outside.
KEITH'S GOAL ISN'T ESCAPE.
Kaela, make arrangements for a chopper.
[Keith.]
I've spent a very long time looking into them, but no matter how deep I dig, clues that almost seem made up keep getting in the way of the truth.
What do you mean? Well, things like the possibility of nonhumans roaming around the world in other words, you guys.
You still don't seem to get this, but Yuna and I are not Reggies.
I'm starving.
Let's grab something to eat.
[Koku.]
What else you wanna know? Before I get to that, let me ask you something.
Was Yuna the same person you remembered? She wasn't at first.
I thought as much.
My guess is that Man One is able to manipulate memories, and he uses that power to bend people to his will.
If I recall, you blocked off your own memories, right? Isn't this the same ability? Are you saying he and I are somehow related? Yeah.
My old man's killer, the one who took you from Yuna and then tried his damnedest to capture you at Heian-ji, he's probably the mastermind behind all of this.
[twin.]
See? What did I tell you? You're right.
It turns out they were using one of those new tracking devices.
No wonder we couldn't find them.
This module-type doesn't use an ordinary GPS.
It pinpoints locations using cell-phone stations.
Same tech pinpoints earthquake epicenters.
Not to worry.
When the system receives an alert, it triggers the map.
There it is.
I can head over there to confirm.
That okay? It's fine.
But you mustn't lay a finger on him.
We clear? Of course.
I give you my word.
I just knew it.
That dish is this island's specialty.
But what are the chances of finding Keith in a place like this? I may have gotten ahead of myself.
Two chicken gumbos, please.
Comin' right up.
I need two Chickie-gums on the double! This diner's got the best chicken gumbo around here.
You still haven't told me about Man Two.
Hmm? That one's got nothing to do with you.
I wanna know anyway.
[grumbles.]
Eh, maybe you should know.
Would this be the guy that killed your sister? - And would he be a - He's human.
What? He's a human? Yeah.
Doesn't add up, does it? MAN 1: DEMIHUMAN If Man One is a demihuman with brainwashing abilities, it seems weird that Man Two is human.
One would only need to compel Two, so why would they partner up? So what you're saying is that you have a pretty solid idea about the identity of Man Two.
WHY DOESN'T MAN 1 BRAINWASH MAN 2? MAN 2 HAS ABILITY THAT PREVENTS BRAINWASHING WHAT IS THAT ABILITY? WHO IS MAN 2? IT HAS TO BE HIM MAN 2 IS HIM.
I do have my suspicions, but I have to see it with my own eyes before I act on them.
In that case, I'll work with you.
I will kill Man One and finally get revenge for the death of Dr.
Heath.
Now tell me, where are they keeping Yuna? I know those guys are hiding her among the light of the stars.
Fly yourself up towards Canopus.
[gasps.]
Canopus? [boots clomping.]
[gasps.]
Hmm? What the hell do you think you're doing here? Uh, you see we're just - Not so fast! - [Keith yelps.]
I only had to ask two people before I found you.
This is what you morons call hiding out? When were you gonna tell me the two of you knew each other? Sorry.
It never felt like the right time.
I doubt we'll be able to weasel our way out of this situation with your simple jokes.
Don't try and pin this mess on me.
Are you even listening to me?! Koku! Yes, ma'am! What is going on here?! How do you know this old-ass dude? - Kid brother.
- Huh? I didn't know I had one 'til recently.
This true? It is.
[gags.]
Look me in the eye, and swear it.
- Are you telling the truth? - Mm-hmm.
I asked him if he could pick up some things for me.
I don't have anyone else to rely on.
The two of us living together is just a temporary arrangement.
Then why don't you two look anything alike? We're half brothers.
My appearance is closer to my dad's, but he takes after his mom.
Then you have another sibling besides your sister who looks nothing like you.
Yeah, I know about her.
Boris told me everything, and I even saw her formula portrait written on your ceiling, so you'd better stop playing dumb with me.
He always looks down on me, but I can handle Koku by myself.
Just you watch, Minatsuki.
I have a pretty good idea now of why you're so uncomfortable when I'm around.
I'm a short Asian girl with black hair that's left-handed.
You get anxious around me, because I remind you of Erika, right? If you don't want to answer my question, it's fine by me.
but if your end goal is getting revenge, as a servant of a country governed by laws, I can't let you get away with it.
- [gasps.]
- Besides What in the hell is going on?! I'll prove that I can do this all by myself! [laughs.]
What is going on?! [bullets whizzing in slow motion.]
Koku, you're Lily, listen closely.
I'll tell you everything if we make it out of here alive.
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
