Psycho-Pass Providence (2023)

[bunniefuu]

As God's love is infinite, so is His wrath.

Brothers, let the wickedness of this world come to an end.

I'm sorry.

Professor

It's no use

We lost contact with them... The situation is dire.

I'll leave it up to you, Kogami.

Roger

Get into position.. I'll pull out, Kogami

You k*lled her?

She was waiting for me

You messed up, Kai

My apologies

It can't be helped. We'll go with Plan B

Reinforcements are on the way.

All hands fall back. I'll buy us some time.

In keeping with the prophecies once made about you,

I give you this command.

so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well.

Kogami, what's the situation?

Sorry, they got away.

Under the Sibyl system, there is no need for laws.

Are you sure about that?

What exactly is your concern?

Abolishing the law negates international law.

At a time when Japan should be facing the world.

The SEAUn project has produced results.

Once the Sibyl system is recognized as the new global world standard

Then there would be no need for any laws, foreign or domestic.

Shouldn't you intervene, Mr. Shindo?

It's okay. Have you noticed her hue is clearer than yours?

Perhaps we should listen to the Ministry of Justice.

The idea of abolishing the law altogether, of dismantling the Ministry of Justice, is a radical one.

The concept of a nation governed by the rule of law

has been done away with by Sibyl!

Such matters are not decided behind closed doors in the Nona Tower.

We should ask the consensus of the people.

And that consensus is what allows the system to function as it does.

You yourself disregard fairness.

No, sir.

I'm concerned about the current way Japan is exploiting its neighbors

to expand its plundering economy.

Hmm.

That's messed up.

Arms exports are a beneficial aid to world peace.

Everyone, calm down.

This sounds like the mess we had before the implementation of Sibyl.

Having a Japan-first mindset could be dangerous.

On those points

I agree with Miss Tsunemori

And I'm sure you all consider it too.

Actually, there was supposed to be a guest at this conference who could shed light on Japan's relationship with the rest of the world.

I don't see her.

Unfortunately, she couldn't make it.

Excuse me.

The Coast Guard just called in a report of

a foreign vessel, the Groetslang.

Lots of fatalities on board.

Zero survivors.

Signs of g*nf*re on board.

g*nf*re?

Please hurry.

This is no time to be playing politics.

Yes. That's how it works with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I'll see you later.

I'll be right there.

I adjourned the meeting.

I'm sorry, sir.

Is this urgent?

Yes, sir. There's been an incident on a foreign ship.

Are you perhaps referring to The Groetslang?

How did you know?

On board the ship was a guest of the conference, Professor Milcia Stronskaya.

She's a world-renowned authority on behavioral economics and statistics.

In recent years, she's developed a basic simulation theory.

Simulation?

Commonly known as the Stronskaya Papers.

Using it, we can predict Sibyl's impact on the world.

And in fact, it worked as predicted for SEAUn.

I know how you feel.

Where did you meet her?

When I was at the Immigration Bureau. I wish you could have met her.

I understand that Mr. Shindo single-handedly brought about the admission of immigrants into the country

and that you campaigned for the law to remain in force.

It was hard work. Some people were seriously considering k*lling all the refugees.

By the way, do you know why the opening of the country and the preservation of the law are the same thing?

Because most of them have experienced conflict.

And by Sibyl's standards, they're unacceptable, so we can't open the country to them unless it's based on international law.

Exactly. And as a result, Japan will be left behind as the world recovers.

How did you achieve this, Mr. Shindo?

First of all, I was careful not to make enemies like you have.

Yes.

You've been an Inspector for too long.

Aim higher.

I have high expectations of you.

Me?

It would be a lie if I didn't.

While having doubts about the Sibyl system

your hue remains wonderful.

I acknowledge the system's value.

but I also believe in something else.

Good. I like that.

We, the Public Security Bureau, are empowered to conduct domestic investigations.

Get the hell out of here, Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

Look, I'm just trying to make this easy for you.

Shut up! I'm not listening.

Ms. Frederica.

It's been a while.

Hello. I'm Yabuki Shogo.

Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Overseas Coordination Bureau.

I can't give you the details.

But that ship is a matter of great importance to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I'd like us to handle the investigation.

Overseas Coordination Bureau.

I'm here. I'll see to it.

Chief Kasei.

Inspectors, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will handle the investigation.

You two, stand back.

I'll tell you the details at the Public Security Bureau.

Did you get it?

Yes, we're just having trouble with the handoff.

You let him dive too deep

without a lifeline

We're running out of time.

Now that we're moving, we can't stop.

You're just going to back down and walk away?

It's an order from the Bureau Chief.

That's what you get for bringing a big name with you.

Atsushi Shindo's guest was on board the ship.

A woman named Professor Stronskaya.

We found a number of bodies on board, presumed combatants.

But the damage was so severe, the details were scarce.

There was only one woman among them.

I'm sure it was Professor Stronskaya.

But it's going to take some time to identify her.

Why?

She was decapitated after the m*rder.

The head was never found.

The head?

We've copied the data from Dr. Stronskaya's laptop

and sent it over to the analyst's lab for processing.

Inspector.

Here. The registration data corresponds with someone

from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Overseas Coordination Bureau.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs were guarding her?

They're deploying armed officers without our permission.

Hanashiro and Yabuki are both hiding something. They reek of trash.

Hey...

You shouldn't talk so bad about people.

What?

He's using a high-performance hearing aid.

You knew about Professor Stronskaya's m*rder, didn't you?

Yes, from Yabuki.

You collaborated with The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and summoned the professor on a top-secret mission.

Why?

Top secret means you don't let anyone know, so it's top secret.

Inspector, I just got the results from the lab analysis.

The professor only sent one e-mail on the day of the incident

A Japanese?

Yes.

Professor Jyoji Saiga.

It's rare to hear from you on such short notice.

There's something I'd like to ask you, Professor

What is it?

Jyoji. It's been a while.

Who are you?

That's not a nice way to speak to your senior

It's been a while, sir.

What can you confirm about this?

Not a lot

What do you need?

It's about Professor Stronskaya.

I see. We lost a good person.

Can I go listen to your story?

Wait, please. About that...

I only want to talk to Inspector Tsunemori about it.

All right.

What's your relationship with the Professor?

Mr. Shindo introduced us

I used to collaborate on her research, providing domestic analysis data.

Whenever we'd meet, we'd always get into heated arguments.

No, it's the same in a chat room.

The Professor's last communication was with you.

She was trying to contact me to hand over the results of her research.

The Stronskaya Papers.

Oh, yes.

Did you get it?

Well, that would have made things a lot easier.

What I got was...

This number.

Apparently it was mailed to Dejima's International PO box.

I wouldn't be able to receive it unless I went there in person.

Would you be willing to come with me?

Of course I can.

I heard about you.

I hear you've moved up in the world.

How are you settling in?

Honestly, I think my head is going to explode.

People subconsciously seek a sense of comfort, and before they know it, they can't move from there.

I'm a good example.

Not at all

By the way, how involved is Mr. Shindo in this?

He's the one who invited the Professor to Japan.

Is there something bothering you?

He was my senior at the university. He set up my class at the Public Safety Bureau.

I've always felt like I was being used.

Do you think he's using me, too?

He could get you involved in something dangerous

I'm just trying to confirm if the Papers exist.

The resulting heat could lead to charges against the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Japanese government, and Sibyl.

Charges?

Exposing what this country has done at home and abroad. Dangerous stuff.

That's why I chose to tell only you.

I've spoken with the Overseas Coordination Bureau.

From now on, it's a joint investigation between the Public Safety Bureau and the Overseas Coordination Bureau.

We will remain in command.

It doesn't matter as long as the information is shared.

Like the identity of the assailant

I'm sure you have your eye on it

I do.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Overseas Investigations Division Field Survey Team.

A.K.A. Peacebreakers.

These are the troops that hard-liners in the Foreign Ministry have been hiding overseas to sabotage the country.

The unit was disbanded five years ago.

But none of the members ever returned home.

They disappeared and are still out there on their own.

Did your own hounds bit your hand?

Now that they're in Japan, this is our best chance to take them out.

Our Suppressing Action Department has gathered personnel for this purpose.

Personnel?

Once a hound has thrown away their leash, the Public Safety Bureau will never tame them again.

But he'll be an enemy to a pack of wolves bearing their fangs.

Make good use of him

Why, you

I told you never to show your face again!

Gino, let's take this on a case by case basis.

Don't give me that—

Please calm down. We're in the office.

What's all this fuss about?

Shinya Kogami?

It's been a long time.

Inspector.

Looks like there's no need for an introduction.

So what's the information on the suspect?

The captain's name is Tonami.

I'm not asking you!

Then I'll do it

Tsugumasa Tonami

Enlisted in the National Defense Forces at the age of 18 based on results of his aptitude test

and later served the Navy Special Forces for a long time

He seems to have been an inconspicuous, serious man.

Transferred to the Peacebreakers on the recommendation of a superior officer.

There's nothing more on him since then.

That's it?

Yes

All we have is a record of what he's done.

That's horrible

Leave the profiling to me.

My way of avenging the Professor

So this is Dejima.

A special jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Most of them are residential areas for foreigners before immigration.

It's not a good fit for the Public Safety Bureau.

During your stay, the Public Safety Bureau's authority will be limited, but

we've already applied for permission to use the Dominator

Thank you.

What do you think, Professor?

He's not the same person before and after he disappeared.

Have you met him before?

No

Is there anything you can think of that might help us?

His ideology, his background, any hint of a group dynamic.

I don't know if this will give you any clues, but I heard his voice during the fight.

It's a verse from the New Testament.

What is it?

In keeping with the prophecies once made about you, I give you this command

so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well.

The Epistle to Timothy.

Yes

Chapter 1, verse 18.

Does that help?

I don't know. Is Tonami a Christian?

There's no record of it.

Do you know a saint named Paul?

At first, he att*cked Jesus.

But after witnessing his miracles, he was repentant.

Maybe Tonami sees himself in Paul.

A recluse like John seems more like you, Professor.

Maybe I'll go to Patmos Island and write a story about it.

But seriously

I can't believe you're cooperating with the Public Safety Bureau.

I'm...

I'm cooperating with Akane Tsunemori.

Kogami, don't make the wrong move.

What's this, all of a sudden?

Tonami wasn't a m*rder*r from the start.

It's a sad end to be a tool for v*olence.

Are you saying I'll end up like that, too?

It's up to you.

I'm just saying... don't make the mistake of living in the wrong house.

She's not a bodhisattva or a Buddha.

If you do whatever you want, you'll be ex*cuted.

I'm not just doing whatever I want.

I take responsibility for my actions.

That might not be enough for people around here

I'm just saying you should apologize.

Just an old man's advice.

Mr. Kogami

Yo.

What's the Suppressing Action Department?

It's the investigative arm of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Operations Department

I already know what it is

I see.

So Mr. Kogami was allowed to return home to fight v*olence with v*olence?

Foreign Affairs wanted an enforcer, too.

So they called me in.

If I had called you, would you have come back?

It's hard to say

Well, my position and authority don't allow for it.

What does Director Yabuki think about your past crimes?

We never talked about it. I guess he doesn't care.

He's not interested in anything but Peacebreakers.

Will you continue to work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

I'm just doing what I ought to do

The next time you violate the law, I will stop you no matter what.

Do what you think is right. I have no regrets about what I did.

I just wanted him to apologize.

Don't tell Kogami. If he figures it out it will be a hassle.

I'm sure Professor Saiga will understand.

We need to minimize the risk.

Understood.

Don't forget.

Ideals are not enough to bring about change

What's needed is the strength to do justice even if it costs us ourselves.

Why are you like that?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Subject has arrived.

All right, everyone, get ready.

We'll stay here just in case.

Thanks

This building is rather empty.

Maybe it's because of the New Year's holiday coming up.

No, it's not.

They evacuated the civilians, didn't they?

Inspector, someone activated the friend/foe identification signal.

Something's wrong.

You used us as bait.

I'm sorry.

We'll guarantee your safety, Professor.

I figured it would be something like this.

I can't believe you didn't say anything to us.

Well, don't be so angry.

Let's just get the document first.

You'd lie to the Professor to follow Yabuki's orders

A mirror?

This is a warning.

The document's not here.

Why?

She was being careful, too.

I've been the bait from the start.

The Stronskaya Papers aren't here

but they wouldn't believe me if I told them that.

We'll head to the evacuation point

Tsunemori, Sugo and I will take care of things here.

It should buy us some time.

We'll take care of it.

Take it easy.

The Captain will clear our path

We'll secure the target.

Copy that.

Don't!

Crime Coefficient under 50.

Not a target for execution.

Trigger locked.

Looks like they sh*t each other

I can't reach my boss.

Get back!

It's dangerous here.

Let's head back

Yes

Inspector, our Dominators are disabled. The enemy is heavily armed and on the move.

Hang in there, Sugo.

I'm all right. It's nothing.

The wound is not fatal. He's gonna be okay.

We're on our way.

Make sure Mr. Sugo is safe.

Professor!

Professor

Where are the papers?

I don't know.

Freeze!

Hand over the Papers! Or I'll ki—

That was crazy!

It was the best response.

Not yet.

Your part in this isn't over!

Professor!

Akane Tsunemori

Justice and truth are multifaceted.

You have to look at it from above to understand it.

I believe you can do it

The Papers aren't here.

It's a set up. We've captured Target B.

Retreat

Copy that.

Go!

If a hundred years would pass in the space of this moment

it would be not be the least bit strange

It's raining.

The rain is falling, ceaseless and silently

It's been a lot

But it's time

What the hell are these guys?

Professor Saiga

Chief Yabuki is nowhere to be found.

You were working in anticipation of a leak

and this is the result?

I have no excuses.

Attacking Frederica won't solve anything.

The question is, why did it fail?

Mr. Shindo

Why are you here?

Because of my position

I must work with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to gather information.

In the worst case

I've decided to request the cooperation of the National Defense Forces

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Defense Forces

It's as if you're in charge of everything.

I'm not that big of a deal.

But Yabuki and I...

We've been deeply involved with that unit since its inception.

We let a pack of beasts run wild.

We have to take responsibility for this.

Is that why you used Professor Saiga?

It's a consequence. No one wants to see any casualties.

Anger can cloud your judgment.

You don't have to stay calm all the time

but right now it's different.

I got the Professor involved on the case.

It's also what he wanted.

You have a responsibility to do

what you have to do now.

And when this is all over.

You can cry all you want.

Yes.

Clear

We're working on identifying the enemy's communication network and jamming.

If they're using an existing comm system, we should have identified it by now.

Oh, and one more thing. I need you to open a new inquiry

Whose is it?

Mr. Shindo. Please look into him.

I'm sorry. The Professor only wanted you to be happy.

My mother was prepared for this.

If it weren't for these eyes, I would...

I promise to make Maiko happy.

I'll fulfill Ms Milcia's wishes.

I'm counting on you.

When the remains arrive, we'll all mourn together.

And as for Akira...

Did you get in touch with my brother?

Yes, he might be able to make it to the wedding.

That's great, Kei.

You'll be at the ceremony, right, Dad?

Yeah, I'm just worried you're gonna screw it up.

What's that supposed to mean?

You take care, now.

Thanks!

Arata, look after those two, won't you?

You don't have to tell me that.

Do not fear death, brothers.

We are His sword and shield.

We will do our best to fulfill our mission.

Our Lord, the General, is coming.

Let the words be engraved on your souls.

I commend you, my soldiers.

Put aside your fears and give all you have.

Soon the Promised Land will welcome you all.

Let there be justice and order in the world.

I will always be with you.

I live up to your prophecy with my own body.

You let a rat loose in our midst.

If you don't answer, there can be no ambush.

Speak of the whereabouts of the Papers or die.

Mad dog, you're done for!

Don't forget you're the ones who made me this way.

Kai, you can go.

Yes, sir.

Kai, I'll leave you in charge of his interrogation.

I'm heading north.

To the promised land. The General.

Yes, you just saw it.

If a hundred years would pass in the space of this moment...

Tatsuji Miyoshi, The Great Aso?

The results on the Kn*fe?

Yeah, the one I recovered.

One moment, please.

The blood on the blade was yours, right?

There was a horsehair tied to it.

Find out where that horse came from. It's likely from Aso, Kyushu.

Should I limit the scope of my search?

It's okay, please.

I'm sorry to hear about the Professor.

I just got the results of the physical analysis Sugo sent over.

The man who was sh*t but kept moving.

He had a special chip implanted in his brain.

The body was badly damaged. I'll need more time to get the details.

Hey, what do you think about possession?

What, out of nowhere?

When a person suddenly becomes possessed by something else.

I mean, do you have a scientific explanation for that kind of thing?

Something like angels, demons...

A god.

There's a definite difference in mental structure between humans and other animals.

What do you think it is?

I can think of a few things.

The concept of empathy, or comedy

Objectivity, for lack of a better word.

Yes. Humans can see themselves...

from God's point of view.

One agricultural scholar had described it as a God living in our minds.

Julian Jaynes' theory that divides the human psyche into an animal and a divine part.

When that divine part behaves independently, it is in a state of being able to hear God's voice.

Two separate minds and the voice of God, huh.

We've identified the enemy's base of operations in Aso, Kyushu. Our reconnaissance drones have confirmed it.

We've already approached the National Defense Forces about providing m*llitary drones. The problem is the crime coefficient.

We think he's using a special chip in his brain to disguise his crime coefficient.

The only way to deal with it is to apply the Lieutenant General's warning.

Though debatable, I will allow it on the basis of possession of illegal weapons.

Roger

The operation will now begin

There's something strange going on

Yeah

In any case, just be careful, Gino.

What's going on?

Don't move!

Don't sh**t, Gino.

I'm an undercover agent from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Overseas Coordination Bureau.

Tonami's not here.

Put him down first.

Understood.

Take me into custody right now. We can't let Tonami find out.

It's you.

Chief Yabuki, it's alright now.

I want to be there for his questioning

I'll temporarily grant you Inspector authority

Please lead the investigation here.

Roger that.

I'll let you know as soon as I have something.

You take care.

Thanks.

My name is Akira Vasily Ignatov

I've been working undercover for Chief Yabuki.

I haven't heard of this from the boss.

If not Mr. Yabuki, then Atsushi Shindo from the Ministry of Health and Welfare can vouch for me.

Mr. Shindo?

I learned of this operation through a coded message from Mr. Shindo.

Where's Tonami? Does he have the Papers?

He doesn't. I have them.

You have them?

I have a special operations chip implanted in my brain.

That's where I stored the Professor's research.

In your brain?

What's Tonami's purpose here in the first place?

What does he want with the Papers?

They're called "Papers"

But in reality, it's a simulation theory.

It predicts the possibility of ethnic conflicts and mass upheaval.

And measures this through a numerical conflict coefficient.

With this...

We can prevent conflict before it happens.

Or magnify it.

We don't have to ask which way

Tonami intends to use it.

Until the data is extracted from me

You'll need to keep me in an anechoic chamber

You're afraid he will possess you.

Yes, I am.

There's another chip implanted in my brain.

A divider.

This is what he uses to possess people.

I'm going to check on the boss, just to be safe.

Kogami, can you take his statement?

I'm on it.

Akira, I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Mr. Shindo, please tell me what happened.

Tell me what happened to Professor Stronskaya.

I k*lled her.

Because of this research I made my daughter feel lonely.

I'm not a good mother.

Even so, I want to protect their future.

I promise to deliver it, Miss Milcia.

I had no choice.

What's a divider?

It's a device that splits your mind.

It allows you to see yourself as a different person

and allows you to place your guilt in the hands of another.

So that's what keeps the hue clear.

You're giving up part of your psyche to Tonami.

Yes. It's a scientific reproduction of a religious excitement.

Entrusting all of your actions to Tonami, as if you were obeying God.

And how does possession occur?

Cracking. Foreign Affairs agents have translation patches implanted in their brains.

He can get around it, but only for a limited time and scope.

I see. That's why it didn't work on me or any other member of the Public Safety Bureau.

Let's get to the bottom of this. What was your purpose?

The location of the supreme commander, known as the General.

And who is that?

I don't know his name and we've never met.

But I've finally located him.

Where is he?

The northernmost islands of Japan. The Kuril Islands.

Hide!

Aren't you coming out, Kai?

Tonami.

Get out of the anechoic chamber. Refuse, and I'll k*ll him.

Don't!

Don't! I'll go!

Why did you send him undercover?

Tonami doesn't trust the Japanese.

Besides, Akira himself volunteered.

He b*rned his own face to protect his cover.

He was prepared to do anything.

There's something that has always bothered me about this case.

What is it?

Why was Professor Stronskaya att*cked when

she entered the country undercover?

A leak.

Or, more accurately, you and Director Yabuki intentionally leaked information

to lure out Tonami.

Am I wrong?

You have a vivid imagination.

I looked into your background and found nothing suspicious.

Although, I did find it disconcerting.

You never fail.

You always choose the right path.

that progressed your career.

It's as if

you're climbing a staircase that's been prepared for you from the start.

Who are you, really?

Mr. Kogami

What's wrong?

Tonami had possessed Ignatov

He got away.

Chief Yabuki is dead.

You need to go after them immediately!

I believe I can track Akira down

Then let's hurry

Stop!

Atsushi Shindo!

So he was your pawn, too.

You're wasting your time.

Crime coefficient is over 100.

Target for execution.

The divider... it's overloading!

This is... it's going to fry his brain.

So you've been planning on dying all along, Kai?

Subject's thr*at assessment has been updated.

Crime coefficient 301.

Lethal Eliminator.

Kai!

My name is Akira Ignatov!

You're an idiot.

Do it now!

k*ll me!

Please take care of Kei

Don't let him end up like me

I promise.

Leave the rest to me.

The long rain is ending soon.

So you've called off interrogating Mr. Shindo

Yes. Chief Kasei will talk to him directly.

I see.

In any case, I'm relieved that you're okay.

I'm sorry. It was my fault.

We're a team. Don't forget that.

That's right.

So what do we do now?

We're analyzing the information Agent Ignatov gave us.

We'll move as soon as we're done.

We'll won't let Tonami get away next time.

We've been watching you over the years. You are indeed unmanagable.

I think the feeling is mutual.

You're going to have to take responsibility for what you've done.

With the death of Chief Yabuki, we can no longer suppress information.

I'm sure you're right.

That was my intention, too.

Regardless of the means

I appreciate everything you've done.

Let me ask you something.

Will the Sibyl System continue to believe in the potential of humans?

Of course.

That's what we're here for.

I'm glad you that's your answer.

Your son and his friends are safe with us.

That's a promise, Sibyl System.

A parting gift.

So you planned all along to hand over the Stronskaya Papers to Public Safety.

Yes, I did.

Thank you for everything.

That's a shame.

Your powers and privileges as an inspector are hereby terminated.

I'm sorry I called you out here.

Not at all

Akira's younger brother is getting married tomorrow.

I'd like you to keep his death under wraps until after the ceremony.

That can be arranged.

Thank you.

Say, why don't you come along?

Dad, you're late.

I'm sorry.

Kei and Maiko

Congratulations on your marriage.

Even with the Sibyl system in place, or rather, because of it,

these two will continue to face challenges in the future.

I've told many lies, telling myself I was doing the right thing.

But I'd be lying if I said I have no regrets

So I don't want you to repeat my mistakes.

Choose a path that you won't regret, and come up with your own answers.

The right choice can be wrong in a different time

Because being right is relative

but the truth is absolute.

What we need is the truth

the means to accept that truth

and choose the path where no one gets hurt.

I believe that is where true happiness lies.

That concludes my speech.

Where'd you go, Dad?

That's all. Report back immediately.

Wait a minute.

What's going on?

There's so many things I don't understand.

I'm going crazy.

I don't know either. It's just...

whatever he did

I believe he did it for you.

For me?

What the hell does that mean?

Please tell me!

Just as your father said.

You'll have to find out for yourself.

Find the truth.

We were told that the Chief ordered

to close the joint investigation.

What happened?

I don't know.

We have to go back to Tokyo.

I'll talk to the Bureau Chief.

We, the Peace Breakers, declare ourselves an independent nation.

This is in no way in opposition to the Sibyl System in Japan.

As proof, I hereby submit my hue and crime coefficient for measurement.

His hue is indeed very clear.

We've diagnosed him as an extremely effective negotiator.

I don't even think that Sibyl made any decision.

I've spoken with their Supreme Commander, the General.

He's a logical thinker.

He says he'll support our overseas activities in the future.

In exchange, we'll grant them independence in the Northern Territories.

Then the Public Security Bureau can no longer intervene.

Not quite.

You'll be in charge of handing over the Stronskaya Papers.

Then what were all those sacrifices for?

Soon you'll be taking over Atsushi Shindo's post.

Accept it.

You want me to stop working for the Public Safety Bureau?

You're already operating outside the scope of the Public Safety Bureau.

Mr. Kogami

I can't just let the case go this way.

Sounds like you're ready for it.

Will you come?

I'll follow you even if you tell me not to.

Knowing you, I know you've got a plan.

If the enemy is who we think he is, I think we have a chance.

That's more than enough.

You heard her. What do you want to do?

You don't have to ask.

I will do what our boss failed to do.

We will arrest Tsugumasa Tonami and the rest of the Peacebreakers in accordance with the law.

We will carry this out using weapons authorized by the Public Safety Bureau.

Hence, as a rule, we'll use only dominators.

Are you serious? We're facing heavily-armed opponents here.

Yes, we fight as detectives of the Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau.

This is all meaningless if we cannot prove the legitimacy of the law.

I won't force you to join.

Kogami and I will be cooperating with Inspector Tsunemori.

We've already decided what we're going to do.

As for the transportation to the enemy base, leave it to me. I have an idea.

If we all go together, we'll be wiped out immediately. Logistical support is essential.

I, Kunizuka, Hinakawa and Karanomori will provide support from here.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong!

If you all die, I'll say you blackmailed us and walk away from this unscathed.

The mainframe of the Peacebreaker's communication system is mobile.

That's why we haven't been able to find it.

What do you mean?

They're using a high-altitude pseudo-satellite communications network.

A floating airship.

Yes. Airships made of stealth material.

It constantly moves from place to place.

With it, high-capacity communication is possible anywhere in the world.

We'll hack into this system and control it

If we want to disable the dividers, why not destroy it?

The signal conditions are poor in the Kuril Islands, so the continuous use of the Dominator is impossible

We'll use this airship for our purposes.

Then, let's work out a strategy based on this.

It's a prototype dominator that I developed with R&D.

If you can master its use, it will be a powerful w*apon.

Thanks

It's very expensive, so make sure you return it.

I've already set up the authentication for the two of you.

Thank you.

I understand the plan, but don't do anything rash until we get there.

You are the most at risk.

I can't promise that.

Hey.

So, please come quickly.

Is your leg okay?

Yeah, I'm used to injuries.

You know

I sometimes think that you and I have tied Tsunemori to this job.

I know it's an egotistic thought, but...

I've decided to be her shield.

I will not let her become a criminal.

It's the least I can do.

I agree.

Let me ask you again.

What did you come back for?

I didn't come back to die.

It's not just for my own personal vendetta or sense of duty,

but for someone else's sake,

I could do better.

That's what I feel.

If that's the case

then I feel a little better.

Sir, the as*ault craft will arrive at its destination in 17 minutes.

All right.

Stay alert.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Don't worry about it.

I'm glad I was able to pay you back.

Besides, it'll be a top-secret exercise.

Thank you, Sarutobi.

Actually, I got a heads-up from the Ministry of Welfare, Mr. Atsushi Shindo.

We were ready for you.

Initiating topographic scan.

Sending data to the Hound Team.

We have their location.

We'll proceed.

Copy that.

We're moving to phase two.

Good luck.

We don't have a lot of time before Tsunemori gets here.

Let's go.

Conflict Coefficient below standard value. No immediate risk.

Akane Tsunemori.

So you're the envoy for the Sibyl System.

Well then. Hand over the Papers.

Where are they?

The Stronskaya Papers are here.

The neural storage device?

You've gone and made this troublesome.

The data can be erased at any time

So don't make any funny moves.

What do you want?

Take me to your General right now.

I can't tie up the location of the comm system any more than I already have.

If they use the dividers, we'll be able to locate them quickly.

We'll have to wait for word from Tsunemori.

Hinakawa, are you ready?

We're ready.

I'll return Mr. Sugo's drone and run the program.

But it'll take time to upload and remove the barriers.

It's going to take some time.

We're really cutting it close.

Let's move quickly and take them down before they find out we're here.

It would be a little easier if we could use the Dominator

We'll have to trust they'll come through

Declaring independence among these ruins is insane.

It's a consensus of values.

This used to be an unmanned industrial city built by autonomous machines.

The moment it left human hands, I saw the future.

Unfortunately, it was shut down in the chaos of a global conflict.

A conflict that you helped create.

I knew it.

The General's true nature is the same AI as the Sibyl System.

You knew?

One entrusted with the malice and guilt of many,

and is capable of reconciling with Sibyl...

It's hard to imagine it's human.

Professor Saiga guided me to this answer.

Originally developed as a medical AI

to counter psycho-hazards.

It's a support system to Sibyl.

The General was created after modifying its use

to make us soldiers fight to the death.

Why not leave the General?

Because it's right. The problem is the people who's behind it.

The truth behind the creation of the Peacebreakers must be exposed

but that doesn't absolve you of the crimes you've committed.

What would you do, then?

Tsugumasa Tonami, you are under arrest.

Crime coefficient 48. Target is not subject to execution.

Too bad. Your god recognizes me.

Akane has just used her Dominator! The Divider is also activated.

We've located the comms satelite and Tonami's position.

Coordinates received. I'm on my way.

Yes!

There are still quite a few of them left.

Just be careful.

Got it.

Enemy communication system detected.

Initiating contact approach.

Copy. We will now begin hacking.

Do not move too far away until we've completed the hack.

We're on the edge of the area. Do not stray too far.

They're hitting us harder than we anticipated.

Please hurry.

You don't have the memory implant, do you?

Give me the Stronskaya Papers.

I need them to complete the system.

I tried using the Professor's brain as a substitute, but it was incomplete.

Why are you doing this?

Why did Sibyl come to be?

Because the world fell into chaos.

Then why did that happen? Because the gap between rich and poor has grown too wide.

And that can only be corrected by absolute force.

That's extreme! No one wants that!

No, it's true.

These are the facts that lie in the shadow of the peace that you enjoy.

As long as man continues to rule over man, someone will always be unjustly k*lled.

The one who rules must be an AI that can judge all things equally.

No man should interfere with it.

I disagree!

No, but man lives only according to God's command.

Unauthorized access to communications system Rafael.

The conflict coefficient in the area is rising. Please take prompt action.

Still piling on the lies, I see.

Rats got in. k*ll them.

I'll be right out.

Copy that.

They're no thr*at to you!

Well. Even in my age.

I still can't let a young woman b*at me.

We can't hold out like this!

The Dominators still aren't working. We have to!

This time, I'll k*ll you.

Tonami?

Kogami!

How much longer? I don't think I can hang on!

Almost there!

We're in!

Shion!

I know, I know.

Let's start the counterattack.

Inspector?

Sorry for the wait.

We've deactivated the Dividers

Dominators are online

Copy that.

Dominator activated.

User ID: Shinya Kogami

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Suppressing Action Department

Special Permission Confirmed.

Temporary User.

Detected multiple targets with crime coefficient over 100

Safe key unlocked.

Please suppress the target.

Enforcement mode: Destroy Decomposer.

Targeting area with weapons to completely eliminate. Please aim carefully.

Error. Shutdown mode.

Leave us! Go protect Tsunemori!

Keep moving!

Go!

Thanks.

This is for our sons!

We'll k*ll you!

Something's wrong. There seems to be an a*t*matic defense mechanism in the comms system

I can't control it. I'm getting locked out

It looks like it's activated to self-destruct in the event of a hacking. It can't be deactivated.

This is bad. It's heading for the base!

Mika, what do we do?

You want me to help a traitor?

Yes. For the sake of the Public Safety Bureau... no, for Sibyl's sake.

We can't let Akane Tsunemori die.

Is the main system intact?

What are you going to do?

To your god.

I'm going to load the Stronskaya Papers

the right way!

What?

If your God

the General

is an AI that ends conflicts.

I'm sure the answer will be different.

What are you doing?

You know everything

and yet you're standing in my way!

This is my role as the detective in charge of this case!

You loaded the Papers in the Dominator?

I commend my soldiers.

From now on, we will unite with the Sibyl System, the beacon of hope.

We will bring justice and order to the world.

I will always be with you.

Medical AI defects adjusted and

updated as part of the Sibyl system

Initiating shut down of terminals no longer required.

General

So this is your answer.

Although it was sooner than I expected

it's what I had hoped for.

Man created an extremely benevolent god named Sibyl.

But it is man who kills him!

You're the witch who brings out the worst in society!

Not enough firepower!

We're getting b*at out there

It's all right.

I've taken care of it.

Yes, sir.

We'll execute the order immediately. Get ready for combat!

Prepare to fire anti-ship missiles.

Fire.

The satellite communication system has been destroyed!

This is not good. Let's escape!

Why don't you just k*ll me now?

So you would know pain.

Put the g*n down!

Tsugumasa Tonami, you will be brought to justice!

You still don't understand?

It's your dysfunctional and outdated laws

that Sibyl is trying to free you from!

Sibyl and the General

use people like me

to seek justice.

Even if you k*ll me

you can't stop this from happening.

No!

Sibyl is not absolute!

The people and the system

must be bound to each other.

Otherwise, we lose the value of life.

The force that binds us is the law!

Who wants that in a world like this?

People only want a little happiness under Sibyl.

They don't care to be right!

I agree with you.

Mr. Kogami

I said I wouldn't let you do it again

There might not be a way to prevent the abolition of the law.

You're probably right about everything

but I still believe in you for wanting to do the right thing.

and I must be judged, too.

Mr. Kogami.

You okay?

Somehow.

Sibyl finally got everything it wanted.

And now it's ours, too.

Homura has reached his limit and retired.

I'm looking forward to the next Congressman.

Under the orders of Atsushi Shindo and Shogo Yabuki

the Peacebreakers have been conducting subversive activities against other nations.

The cover-up of that misconduct led to the unit commander,

Tsugumasa Tonami and his rebellion.

This was proven by the confession data left behind by Atsushi Shindo.

With the deaths of Shindo and Yabuki, the investigation of this case is now closed.

You just placed the blame meant for the government to two men.

This is what they wanted all along.

I thank you for allowing the Enforcers to transfer to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

We have also given permission for Shinya Kogami to return to action in due course.

I won't take this any further.

That's a surprising response.

Are you surprised that I rode the rails you laid out for me?

We're glad you approve.

We will let you follow the path that Atsushi Shindo took.

Yes.

I'm leaving the Public Safety Bureau.

It's a little lonely.

It would be unnatural for the world to stay the same.

That's true.

It's about time for Akane's appointment ceremony.

There's something I've been struggling with for a long time.

The state of this Sibyl society is unwavering and undisputed due to the existence of the crime coefficient.

Originally, in a nation governed by the rule of law, there was always room for debate about what constituted a crime.

What is sin, is punishment just, understanding the evil of others and questioning your own righteousness.

This incident made me keenly aware that in order for people to be human, it is most important to continue debating.

I believe that stopping this debate is not the right way to do justice in the future.

People need the law.

So I will question justice in a way that only I can.

I am glad to have met you, Mr. Kogami.

It was thanks to you that I could give this answer.

You idiot!

Crime Coefficient Under 60.

Not subject to execution.

Trigger is locked.

Please take care of Division 1

Mika.

I can't accept this!

Despite committing m*rder in public,

Akane Tsunemori's crime coefficient is low.

The crime coefficient of Akane Tsunemori has not been made public,

but the fact is that the Dominator did not activate.

In response to this incident,

the government announced that it would temporarily suspend the planned dissolution of the Ministry of Justice.

Akane Tsumemori, is this your choice?

I will not allow the abolition of the law. This is not just about people.

It will be the only shield to protect you, Sibyl.

We should save what Atsushi Shindo and Akira Ignatov risked their lives to protect

Interesting. Let them show you what your actions will do to this society.

I will definitely come back for you.
