02x04 - Deeper Layers

[bunniefuu]

You are returning to the front lines, then, Mr. Yoshitoki?

Yeah. It's the chairman's idea.

The Owl...

Aogiri...

They're a crisis CCG has had since the beginning.

Yes.

Maru... I want to make you my second-in-command.

But I had that screw-up in the th Ward.

If you messed up, then anyone else would have had the same outcome, too.

Don't worry about it.

Mr. Yoshitoki...

You'll accept, right?

If you say so, Mr. Yoshitoki, I can't very well refuse, can I?

Right now, we could use even a little bit of information.

I'm not sure it will lead to anything on the Owl directly,

but if we can get anything out of him...

The priest, huh?

Yes.

Will he talk?

I've sent someone who has a long history with him.

Amon Kotaro?

So this is Cochlea. It's my first time here.

Cochlea Ghoul Internment Center.

A facility that interns and oversees ghouls rated C through SS

who are captured alive.

Generally, its existence is kept a secret.

I don't think there are too many reasons why investigators,

such as ourselves, would ever come to a ghoul internment center.

Bam!

I had a dream

It was of the time we were born

We lived such a beautiful life

in a city of wombs

We clapped our hands and smiled

We drank the paint dry

The colors of the rainbow changed

We started wanting to be held

I couldn't walk alone anymore

We smiled at each other

We gave our love to toys

I wish we could destroy

the untouchable children using simple words!

The prost*tute spat fire

In a faraway city, somebody d*ed

Dad...

Who said you could come in?

What is Kazuki doing up there?

I thought he, and Akie, and Yusuke had all left the home.

I guess we're done playing at being a family now, Kotaro.

Why was I the only one...?

Well, well, of all the people to come see me.

It's been a long time, hasn't it, Kotaro?

Donato Porpora, SS-rated.

Investigator k*ller and mass predator.

He ran an orphanage at one time. Which means,

that story about Investigator Amon is true?

My dear son...

Shut up. I don't consider you to be my father.

What happened to that reaper-like man?

I don't have to answer you.

Oh, so he's dead, is he?

You always were an easy one to read.

Hmm? Gate is open, isn't it?

Lockup, at this hour? I didn't hear anything about it.

Go have a look.

Eh? Geez, this is why I hate staff cutbacks.

What do you know about Aogiri Tree?

Nothing.

What about the Owl?

Nothing.

This was pointless after all.

Kotaro...

are you still wearing that thing?

The reason I wear this...

is so that I don't forget the days I spent in that orphanage.

Oh?

I feel nothing but loathing for you.

Investigator Amon!

Akira!

It's an Aogiri att*ck!

She looks tasty, unlike her father.

Mr. Shinohara, it's Hoji.

What's up?

It looks like Cochlea is under att*ck by Aogiri.

What?

And as ill-timed as luck would have it,

Amon and Miss Akira are at Cochlea!

Got it. We're headed there right now.

Damn it!

The eyepatch...

Keep it open!

We don't have time for eating.

I see...

So it was Cochlea you were after from the start, was it?

Almost too easy.

Yes, you were.

Get lost.

So this is Cochlea, huh?

Let's hurry and find Big Brother.

Mm-hmm, Kuro.

There sure are a lot of them.

It's not just the Aogiri forces.

The prisoners that have been released are teaming up with Aogiri.

Is that what Aogiri is after?

This way!

Ah! I messed up! It's not those guys, but these guys!

Sorry about that, pal!

The S-rated Naki.

Here it is.

Mr. Shachi? I am here to free you.

Boy...

Why am I getting the scent of Rize from you?

Like this? Like this? Was it like this?!

Or perhaps, was it like this?!

I wish they'd put up more of a fight.

Are you...?

Who are you?

Huh? Kurona and Nashiro?

Rei...

It's Juzo now! Investigator nd Grade Suzuya Juzo!

Akira!

"The end!"

A chimera quinque...

Exterminate all scum. Die!

My tummy hurts!

My tummy... my tummy hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!

Huh? I feel woozy...

Huh? W-W-What's...?

What is that?

CRC gas. Works like a charm. I'll start with those two pests!

Die!

Ah, th-that hurt!

I'm seriously going to start crying. What is this?

When it rains, it pours! First Boss Yamori d*ed, and now...

Even so!

Rather than crying alone, crying because of pain...

...is much... much... better!

I'll help myself to the juicy part!

Yummy!

That one's a k*ller!

He's fast!

Hmm? Rize...

Sassy boy!

Damn!

Laughable! Laughable!

Ultra-laughable!

Investigator Amon!

Go on and leave me here! There's no need for both of us to die here!

Akira, you can use your hands, right?

Hold on to my shoulders.

What are you talking about?

You can't carry someone who's injured through this horde of--

Once the foe is before you,

then even if it costs your arms and legs, you fight!

That's the first thing that Mr. Mado taught me.

Let's go!

Of all the...

Juzo has run off somewhere yet again,

and I haven't found any sign of Amon.

This is not my lucky day, either.

What happened to your eyes? Have you given up being human?

We've left humanity behind.

We're not interested in their twisted world.

That's terrific! You know something? I've long wondered...

if one of a set of twins dies, what happens to the other one?

I am an investigator, and you are ghouls.

Which means, there's no problem if I were to test it, is there?

What is this I'm sensing?

Phew, you're not bad.

I think I'll have to use my Arata.

Oh, I get it. So that's where you are...

my lousy Pop!

Go down and stay down!

Would you like to see Miss Rize, Mr. Kamishiro?

All of the liabilities of this world...

are due to the inadequacies of the person involved...

That's why... Mrs. Ryoko's death was my fault...

If I'm weak, everyone will be k*lled...

The people at Anteiku...

Touka, and Hide... Which is why...

The seasons die off, one by one

The sounds of their demise take to the wind

A sober man in a bustling city

It's too unromantic to look up at the moon here

It's as though I'm living as a translucent shadow,

unsure if I can still call who I am me

Will the clouds part if I sing in the rain?

I'm a dried-up life amidst a boisterous summer

Salutations; this is a break-up verse

to my loathsome past

I'm filled with lament and wracked with grief,

but though the sun may not shine

my song still goes on

The seasons come back to life, one by one

"Next time: 'Rift'"
