03x11 - Cannibalism (Part Three)

[bunniefuu]

[YUKICHI] As vile a special ability as ever.

[OUGAI] Now, my dear Elise,

make sure that he gets his sh*ts.

[OUGAI] He draws the sword so deftly

that you don't even see it.

I'd expect no less of the Silver Wolf,

once the government's best sword-wielding assassin.

[OUGAI] Uh.

[YUKICHI] Guard duty?

[OUGAI] Yes.

I've been told that you are an exceptional bodyguard.

[YUKICHI] I'm busy preparing to open a detective agency,

so I'm abstaining from that work for now.

I'm only making an exception by order of Master Natsume.

You're taking a break?

It would be a real shame if your skills got rusty.

[YUKICHI grunts]

Doctor! Our man's down! Please help us!

Very well. But don't start a fight here.

I'm also treating the one who sh*t him.

[MAN A] Understood.

[OUGAI] Oh, you can relax.

This clinic is considered a neutral zone.

There's never a dull moment here.

I hear all kinds of stories from the underground.

[YUKICHI] Underground doctor Mori.

What a shady character.

Why would Master Natsume

possibly order me to protect him?

[MAN B] Doctor Mori.

Because your little clinic's in a safe zone,

you must pick up a lot of information

from your criminal clientele.

Enough to shut down a smaller organization overnight.

I know your side job. Trading info on the black market.

Me and my boys wanna know where the Port Mafia

is hiding their weapons stash.

[MAN B] Their boss has been goin' on a rampage lately

and knockin' people off.

So we've come up with a plan.

We use their weapons for our crimes

and turn the Port Mafia into our scapegoat.

[OUGAI] I already know that.

You att*cked a medical transport truck last week.

You see, I love everything about this city.

I even love its dark side.

But parasites like you make me sick to my stomach.

[ALL gasp]

[door opens]

[OUGAI] What do you think, Fukuzawa?

[ALL gasp]

The hell?! We had at least a dozen guards out front!

I k*lled all of them.

[MEN gasp]

Stay back! Or I'll ice him!

Do as you like.

Don't be like that.

[YUKICHI] You were just buying time for me to arrive, right?

[chuckles]

We have the same stench-- the disgusting stench of death.

[OUGAI] I pretended to be caught

so they would reveal where their hideout was.

It's time to deliver a little payback.

Just as Master Natsume planned it.

Master Natsume?

[OSAMU] Yes, Natsume.

The legendary gifted who was instrumental

in founding the Armed Detective Agency.

His whereabouts are a mystery to everyone.

Rumor has it, his ability is unrivaled,

allowing him to see through anything.

Uh... Sardines?

[YUKICHI] Didn't you tell me I could handle this on my own?

There were far more enemies

than your information suggested, Mori.

But what a treat to witness the Silver Fox's talent up close.

And I only had to handle half of them by myself.

Was it not in vain?

How do you mean?

[YUKICHI] This conspiracy was no more

than a grain among the sands of calamity.

Until the tyranny of the Port Mafia is done away with,

disasters will continue to strike.

I'm aware of that.

It's for that reason I'll be taking on

Master Natsume's three-party framework.

[YUKICHI] Three-party framework?

[OUGAI yells]

[OUGAI] Ever since we battled here years ago,

the two of us have fought and clashed time and time again.

But when we fought alongside one another,

we were invariably unmatched.

[yells]

Rintarou... I'm sorry.

I'll be waiting for you on the other side.

I expected that this would happen.

[YUKICHI] This is the end of the three-party framework.

[OUGAI] Master Natsume's vision...

...it entailed that the m*llitary police

and Special Operations Division would oversee the day,

the Port Mafia would oversee the night,

and finally, the Armed Detective Agency would oversee

the twilight, thus maintaining order in the city.

After implementing his frame work,

Master Natsume disappeared from the public eye.

There was one important thing we never did learn about him:

The exact nature of his special ability.

Fukuzawa, there's something I'd like to tell you before I die.

[YUKICHI] Hm?

[OUGAI] The Detective Agency and the Port Mafia

are not of equal value.

If you die, the fighting between our organizations will cease.

However, if I am to die here,

the Mafia will become akin to a vengeful spirit,

escalating this feud to an even more gruesome state.

[thud]

[ATSUSHI] Katai was Kunikida's friend for over a decade

and now he's dead.

I don't know if Kunikida can really handle it.

Katai's always been a troublesome individual.

I dragged him out of his room

and made him join the Armed Detective Agency,

but even then, he'd just bring his futon to the office

and live there like that.

[ATSUSHI] The futon he called Yoshiko, right?

There's something strange I noticed in that footage.

What did you see?

[DOPPO] When Katai was sh*t,

the futon he was under wasn't Yoshiko.

He wouldn't use another futon

unless he had a good reason to do so.

I'm guessing the one from the video was b*llet-proof.

In other words... he's still alive.

[ATSUSHI] But how did he get himself outta that mess?

[DOPPO] That's what I still don't get.

Someone else was smart enough to deceive Fyodor.

Who saved Katai?

[OUGAI] I could not have won by might alone,

so I decided to play to your pathos instead.

This, too, must be destiny.

It's such a shame.

[NAOMI] I'm thinking back to all those things

that happened whenever Mii disappeared:

Stopping the m*llitary's illegal activities,

the bombing attempt on the police building...

Somehow all these disasters were prevented.

And now, three days ago when this terrible virus began,

Mii up and vanished again.

[KIRAKO] Hmm.

At the same time the president collapsed.

[NATSUME] You have no idea what a pain the both of you are.

[YUKICHI gasps]

Na--!

Master Natsume!

[NATSUME] Can't you let an old man enjoy his retirement?

I passed on the duty of protecting this city

for a reason.

[KATAI coughing]

[KATAI] Natsume, sir! Where are you?

[coughing]

[NATSUME] Heh.

Young Katai here has figured out where the Rats are hiding.

But the enemy is the epitome of craftiness.

If they realize they're being pursued, they'll disappear,

never to be found or captured again.

Will you seize upon this opportunity?

I see.

They don't know if one of us has actually d*ed yet.

Until they learn the outcome of our battle,

they'll stay close to home.

You have hours

before the effects of the virus become irreversible.

I've already given your subordinates

the information they need to succeed.

I won't have a mere pack of Rats

chewing up the organizations I approve of.

Let's begin!

I trust that the two of you won't let me down.

[ATSUSHI] C'mon, just lemme go!

Not a chance.

You two are gonna work together again,

whether you like it or not.

Dazai!

Ow, my tummy!

Please don't move around like that, Atsushi.

You're gonna reopen my stiches.

This is our retaliation mission to save our president.

Why is he even here?

It's all part of my plan, just trust me.

The two of you are gonna sneak into the enemy hideout together.

The enemy base is in an old, abandoned coal mine.

The interior is several hundred kilometers wide,

and equipped with sensors and traps to stop intruders.

Our main target is the gifted who controls the virus.

Unless we can disable his special ability,

both leaders could die.

Our secondary target is the mastermind, Fyodor.

Isn't this all the more reason not to involve him?

This mission's important,

and you know how much Akutagawa hates my guts.

I doubt he'd agree to work with me anyway.

Well, Akutagawa? You in?

If that's the plan, I can do it.

[ATSUSHI] Why is he so focused all of a sudden?

Did you know it's been four years

since you've been under my command?

I'm hoping to see you're a little more capable than before.

[AKUTAGAWA] Yes.

Are you sure you're Akutagawa?

Yes.

You're actually gonna team up and fight with me?

Yes.

What did you have for dinner last night?

Yes.

Uh.

[ATSUSHI] That sure is a lotta guards.

[OSAMU] They all have wireless communicators, too.

Their people will know right away if we charge in.

There's a sensor at the entrance

to counter Junichirou's illusions.

Also, their vital signs are being monitored

and continuously transmitted back to their headquarters.

If the guards even so much as become excited or nervous,

they'll know instantly that something's wrong.

[ATSUSHI] We can't let them get worried,

let alone just go in and take them out.

[AKUTAGAWA] I have two simple rules for you, Weretiger.

[ATSUSHI] Hm?

Keep up or be left behind.

Get in my way and die. Got it?

He left you behind.

I'm going, too!

Wait, Atsushi! Just how are you going to--?

Well, he certainly made that look easy enough.

Guess we should get to work as well.

C'mon, let's get started.

[ATSUSHI] Slow down!

Dazai wanted us to stick together.

In four years,

this is my first opportunity to prove to him that I am superior.

I would actually prefer if you were taken out early.

[AKUTAGAWA] That was sluggish of me.

What I should do is cut you down and report later

that you were apprehended.

I don't have a problem if you wanna go at it.

But now's not the time for this!

We'd just be giving the target a chance to escape.

Is that what you want?

Know what your problem is?

You're too obsessed with the k*ll

to even look two feet ahead of you.

It's no wonder that Dazai up and left you without a word!

[ATSUSHI] Aw, crap.

As someone who's lived his life constantly worrying

about what other's think,

there's one thing I have a knack for:

Realizing when I've bring up something

that should never be mentioned.

It's like I can sense the switch that goes off in their head.

Yes, you're right.

Akutagawa, wait!

There's a sensor up ahead.

If it sees us, they'll know we're here.

[MAN #] So why did you decide to work here?

[MAN #] I snuck into this country.

Why else would I take up such a sketchy job?

[gasps]

[ATSUSHI] They're coming this way.

What do we do?

With the sensor, we're between a rock and a hard place.

Rashoumon.

Wait, don't k*ll them!

Their fate is in their hands now.

Listen up.

Speak without permission and I'll k*ll you. Got it?

[MEN grunting]

[static]

[MAN D] Hey, , .

Your vital signs are slightly elevated.

What's goin' on?

Answer him.

But I'll advise you, whether you get to live or die

hangs on your next words.

[BOTH grunt]

F-Forty-eight, reporting in.

It's nothin'. There was a snake, but it ran away.

[MAN D] You sure it was the snake that ran away

and not you?

Get your asses back to work.

Disable the microphones on your devices.

Do as he says.

This is the Black-Caped Beast we're dealin' with.

Huh? I thought that was just a fairy tale.

Where can we find the person who employed you two?

We don't know! We're just tryin' to make a little dough.

Shall I start with your ears?

[MAN #] I-I swear!

I don't even know what this facility is,

let alone what the boss looks like.

I don't think he's lying.

Fyodor's not the type to trust any of his underlings

with important information.

[AKUTAGAWA] Hmph.

And these bumblers haven't proved themselves to be worthy.

[ATSUSHI] So what are you gonna do with them?

We can't k*ll them or leave 'em here.

Since you won't make yourselves useful,

I'll just cut off your toes to keep you from running.

[MAN #] Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hang on a second.

I-I may not know where the boss is,

but I did see a blast door over there.

It's got hi-tech voice and fingerprint recognition.

Does it lead to their base?

We know someone named Katai who might be able to hack it.

You work for us now.

The Port Mafia will pay you tenfold

what you were paid before.

Uh.

[BOTH chuckle]

Well, looks like Lady Luck's shinin' down on the two of us.

Thank you.

Now then, Port Mafia friend.

Has the cannibalism ended as planned?

It seems our boss and Fukuzawa fought in a duel.

For reasons we don't know, there was an expl*si*n.

It's unclear if they're alive or not.

That's too bad.

[PORT MAFIA AGENT] Look, I gave you the information you wanted.

Please, deactivate the b*mb.

Oh, my apologies.

You can disable the device in your necktie

by removing the blue wire.

[sighs]

[FYODOR D.] Now, let me see...

[ATSUSHI] Do you think you can open it, Katai?

[KATAI] Maybe. It's an isolated network.

But it could be pretty tricky to pull off

with my connection speed.

Then I would suggest you

prioritize locating the virus user.

If we aren't able to track them down,

the Boss' life is forfeit.

You got it! Just gimme a little more time with that, bro.

[AKUTAGAWA] Did you just call me "bro"?

I'll k*ll you.

[ATSUSHI] Hey, Akutagawa.

Why do you think Dazai made us work together?

[AKUTAGAWA] Only a fool would try to understand Dazai.

Questioning his motives is an exercise in futility.

[grunts]

I have a question for you in return.

Why did you decide to participate in this operation?

Risking your life for another?

I can't comprehend such behavior

coming from someone as cowardly as you.

I just feel the need to help is all.

Why is that?

I guess because it's the right to do.

Based on what?

[ORPHANAGE MAN A] Those who cannot save others

do not deserve to live.

[KATAI] Guys! I got it!

Our target, Pushkin, I know where he's located!

What? Where is he?

[KATAI] Very close. About two meters away.

Behind you!

[AKUTAGAWA gasps]

[PUSHKIN laughing]

Looks like I missed.

But it's no big deal.

[ATSUSHI] He's the gifted controlling the virus!

Our primary target!

Stop!

[chuckles]

[AKUTAGAWA] Get in!

[ATSUSHI] Akutagawa!

Don't underestimate small wounds!

As someone with a much weaker power than yours,

it puts a smile on my face to see you suffer!

[ATSUSHI] You okay?

[ATSUSHI] This is...

...the virus ability.
