03x09 - Cannibalism (Part One)

[bunniefuu]

[CHUUYA] Wanna do this one by one?

Or should we all go at it at once?

[CHUUYA] Well?

Doesn't matter to me.

[GROUP gasps]

[CHUUYA] You can create illusions, I see.

Kenji broke through the hospital wall

and took the president.

Everyone left with him a long time ago.

In order to give your team enough time to escape,

you sacrificed your life to deceive us.

I haven't given up my life.

I have a message from Rampo.

[ATSUSHI] Capture the gifted who made the virus?

That's right.

If we were to fight the Mafia head-on,

people would surely die.

To avoid that, we have to change the rules.

If we find the creator of the virus and either k*ll them

or have Dazai touch them, we'll save everyone.

That sounds great,

but what if that ability user has already left town?

[RAMPO] I can assure you they haven't.

No one releases poison without having an antidote.

So during the cannibalizing process,

our target will stay in Yokohama.

According to Dazai, the gifted whom this virus belongs to

was referred to as a criminal.

If that's the case, they're basically trapped

in Yokohama.

The usual escape routes are being watched by the Agency,

and the underground ones by the Port Mafia.

I just need the intelligence gathered on all of the gifted

who live here.

That'll be more than enough for me to figure it out.

[ATSUSHI] It's here?

[DOPPO] Yes.

The hideout of the virus-wielding gifted, Pushkin.

He escaped from a European prison for the gifted

about two weeks ago.

With the help of Fyodor's Rats, he's been hiding out here,

close to his hometown.

At least that's Rampo's theory.

Hometown?

But didn't you say he's from another country?

He was born abroad, but he grew up here.

That's not so unusual in this crucible of gifted criminals.

[ATSUSHI] This atmosphere...

It reminds me a lot of the orphanage.

We have to hurry.

By now, the Mafia are ready to k*ll Junichirou.

We need to stop the cannibalism to prevent that from happening.

[DOPPO] Let's move.

[DOPPO] It's down here.

We have to succeed no matter the cost.

[phone ringing]

What's up?

[FYODOR D] They have arrived.

Brothers and sisters!

We've been found!

Hold them off!

[busy signal]

Damn, he's onto us.

Mr. Kunikida, over there.

Let's go.

[ATSUSHI] An underground tunnel.

There. Ahead of us!

[ATSUSHI] A long stretch of tunnel.

If I transform here...

...I can catch up!

Atsushi! Wait!

[ATSUSHI grunts]

Are you all right?

[ATSUSHI grunts]

Kids carrying sub-machine g*ns?

[ATSUSHI] They're just little children.

If we fire back, we might k*ll them.

You're right.

But we can't stay trapped here.

[DOPPO] Doppo Poet!

Tear-gas b*mb!

[CHILDREN gasp]

[CHILDREN yell]

[CHILDREN coughing]

Hold your breath and run, got it?

[CHILDREN coughing]

[ATSUSHI] I can't dodge in time!

[g*nsh*t]

[CHILD grunts]

[CHILD yelling]

Am I in Hell? It feels like it.

Mr. Kunikida, what about the kids' injuries?

They'll be able to hang on until Doctor Yosano gets here.

[ATSUSHI] It's that girl again.

Mr. Kunikida, something feels off here.

I thought we'd have to fight our way through an army of gifted.

Yeah...

Instead, they're children with g*ns.

They don't even have any special abilities.

And even though they expected us to come,

they're horribly ill-prepared.

They set no alarms and planned no escape routes.

No, don't!

I'm going to help save my brother.

[DOPPO] Atsushi...

Use another route and go find Pushkin.

Leave this matter to me.

Don't let him get away.

Hurry!

[DOPPO] Listen to me...

Your brother's going to be all right.

I won't let him be k*lled.

I give you my word.

[cello playing]

Did you abduct me just to make me listen to you

play the cello?

[FYODOR] No.

I had some questions to ask you pertaining to our

mutual acquaintances, the Armed Detective Agency.

If I'm not mistaken, Katsura,

you attached bombs to a child in an attempt

to exact revenge on a certain Kunikida.

But he willingly put his life on the line

to save that little girl.

Is that correct?

[SHOUSAKU] What good does knowing that do you?

His commitment to his ideals is absolute!

His soul will never be crushed by anyone!

[DOPPO] In order to protect this girl,

first I have to get her to throw away those grenades.

It's all right.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

You know what...

I'm pretty good at doing magic tricks.

Would you like me to show you one?

Don't forget that man is very dangerous.

Only you can save your brother.

If he ever shows you his notebook,

you know what to do...

My brother...

I'm going to save him no matter what.

[DOPPO] No!

[FYODOR] Happiness to the world.

Blessings for the children.

[YOUNG MAN grunting]

You're finished running!

Now start talking!

You really that desperate to hide your crimes

in the shadows?

[ATSUSHI] Huh?

I found out what you did from a good Samaritan.

He told me a group of criminals would try to cover up

that hit-and-run!

What do you mean, a hit-and-run?

Don't play dumb with me; the one from six months ago!

What are you talking about?

--[YOUNG MAN grunts] --Never mind.

You need to stop your ability right now!

What ability?

[YOUNG MAN] I dunno what you're talking about.

[DOPPO gasps]

[DOPPO crying]

[DOPPO yells]

[ATSUSHI] A skinny Russian?

That's right.

He told me if my life was ever in danger

to show this to my pursuers.

He was a good man.

A report...

...from the m*llitary on the gifted who controls the virus.

It's not him.

It sure looks authentic, but is it really?

What do you think?

The document certainly looks very official,

but I'm sure it's nothing more than a fake.

[ATSUSHI] So the enemy's even trying to use

your deductive skills against us?

[RAMPO] I've decided I really don't like this enemy.

It's like going up against Dazai.

[YOUNG MAN] By the way...

The Russian gave me a message to pass on to you.

This is what he said, word for word:

Do not waste your energy trying to "change the rules."

Unfortunately, we don't have any more chips to use

as leverage with the Port Mafia.

[RAMPO] Junichirou's in danger.

[RYUUROU] It's been years since the Port Mafia's

had to be this vicious.

The promised time has come.

It appears the Agency has failed to capture the virus user.

They've avoided contacting us because Rampo felt that was

the best course of action.

It doesn't mean anything.

Unfortunately, hostilities can no longer be avoided.

I'd prepare for the worst if I were you.

We once battled when a bounty of seven billion yen

was placed on one of your members.

Our agencies also fought during the subsequent three-way w*r

with the Guild.

But now the Port Mafia fights for more than mere profit.

We fight to protect our boss.

We fight for our organization's very existence.

Most of us wouldn't even think twice about giving

their lives for such a cause.

I'm certainly no different.

The only path open to us is soaked with blood

and littered with human entrails.

It's a path the Mafia is accustomed to traveling.

Are you gonna k*ll me, then?

No, I'll have you become a double agent.

[JUNICHIROU] You want me to spy on the Agency?

There's no way you're gonna get me to--

You have a younger sister, do you not?

Gin here is a trained assassin.

If you fail to comply with our demands,

her fate will be--

[JUNICHIROU] If you do anything to Naomi, I swear...

I'll k*ll you all!

I like that fire in your eyes.

You thugs could sh**t off a million b*ll*ts

and they would all miss me.

You wanna put that to the test?

Try it if you dare.

Ability: Doppo Poet!

Tatami Gatana!

More of your illusion ability, huh.

"Light Snow," was it?

That's enough, Michizou.

You won't be able to hit him.

Where the hell did that Kn*fe come from?

I thought we searched the guy.

The Agency's gifted have more cards up their sleeve

than we had expected.

Watch out!

You get the bastard?

Seems not.

[MICHIZOU] That was an illusion, too!

[MICHIZOU] Dammit.

[sighs] Looks like we're locked in.

[RYUUROU] I would have never expected so much

from an illusion-using gifted.

That boy is far too dangerous.

For a member of the Agency, his ability is terrifyingly suited

for assassination.

So now what, old man?

It appears his objective wasn't to stay behind to negotiate

with the Port Mafia.

Huh?

--[phone ringing] --He has another goal in mind.

To assassinate the boss.

[AGENT A] There's been an enemy intrusion.

Secure the elevator hall.

Do not let anyone onto this floor!

[JUNICHIROU] There's only one way to end this w*r...

And that's to do this!

[YUKICHI gasps]

[LUCY] Oh! You're awake.

You shouldn't move around just yet.

You've got a high fever.

[YUKICHI] Where am I?

[LUCY] This is Anne's Room. The safest place in the world.

Heh. That tiger-kitty of yours came crying to me,

so I couldn't refuse.

[YUKICHI groans]

[LUCY] Hey, what did I say about not moving?

We must not fight against the Port Mafia.

My life's not as important.

To save this city from ruin,

they need to be told.

[JUNICHIROU gasps]

Forgive me, young man.

If that man were to suddenly die,

the Port Mafia would regress to its previous form.

A form that I despise.

[KOUYOU] You can make yourself appear to vanish.

Even if I can't see you with my own two eyes,

your bloodlust will give you away.

Golden Demon.

[JUNICHIROU] There's knives everywhere.

I can't escape her, or get close to him!

[JUNICHIROU grunts]

[JUNICHIROU] Naomi...

I'm sorry.

[JUNICHIROU grunts]

[JUNICHIROU] Demon Snow?

Kyouka!

Oh, Kyouka.

[KYOUKA] This used to be my own turf.

Every secret path and every doorway...

I still know them all.

How resourceful of you.

[AGENT A] Miss Kouyou!

Wait, Kyouka!

[JUNICHIROU gasps]

Cease fire!

[GUARDS] Huh?

You might hit Kyouka if you keep sh**ting.

[ATSUSHI gasps]

The plan succeeded.

Kyouka managed to escape with Junichirou.

Good. Now let's go pick them up.

Get in!

[JUNICHIROU] Rampo... I'm sorry...

I seriously messed up.

[RAMPO] It's all right.

What's going on with the Port Mafia, Kenji?

From what I can tell, it looks like they've moved their boss

to an underground shelter.

That's one place we can't sneak into.

No, we're just going to have to fight our way through,

tooth and nail.

Just a second, Rampo.

The message I just received--

it said the boss doesn't want us fighting the Port Mafia.

[SHOUSAKU] Tell me...

What exactly is your goal?!

Just what the hell is it you're after?!

[FYODOR chuckles]
