01x09 - All Aboard

[bunniefuu]

BASEMENT LEVEL FIVE

[Kashima] All you do is dodge,
it's pathetic.

Why don't you just
let me k*ll you already?

[Sakamoto] Friend of mine says
this place is important to him.

You and your people need to get out.

You just have to look at the big picture
the way we are.

What we're doing with the Lab
will revolutionize the industry

and give every assassin a bright future.

As far as I'm concerned,

your friends and their interests
are of no consequence.

I figured as much.

But if you don't value the opinions
of the people around you,

you'll never achieve anything.

You think you're so smart.

In all likelihood,
those special friends of yours

have already been eradicated
by my men upstairs.

[gags]

- [Sakamoto] I'm not worried.
- [groans]

[gags]

- [groans]
- [cracks knuckles]

My staff's pretty tough.

They're not the softies
you think they are.

[straining] How dare you!

The only thing I hate more than a person
who talks back to me

is Christmas, and it's a close second.

[grunts] Taro Sakamoto!

Well, you wanna know what I hate?

I really hate it
when people talk too much.

Oh, great. Looks like they've noticed
we're not in the cell anymore.

I, uh... I'm just gonna head out,
but it was really nice meeting you gu--

You're our hostage,
you're staying with us.

[Tanaka groans, whimpers]

I'm gonna get out of here.
And I'm gonna apologize to Shin.

Hiya, Heisuke.
Your timing couldn't be better.

Wait, was that a compliment?

PERFECT TIMING = HERO = AWESOME
PIISUKE

All your thoughts
are still complete gibberish, though!

[opening theme song playing]

ALL ABOARD

Who ever heard of a sn*per
that wants to stand out?

If I know where he is, he's not a problem.

Yo, dude, you think you're safe there?

[grunts]

What a ricochet!

That shot was top-notch.

When you're hiding somewhere like that,

you might as well be standing
three feet in front of me.

[grunts angrily]

[electricity charges]

[Shin] He disappeared again!

[tense music playing]

[Heisuke] Ha! Even if I can't see you,
I can hear where you are.

- You're not getting away.
- [footsteps running]

Where did he go?

Huh? Now I don't hear him anymore.

[exclaims] He's up there!

[Heisuke] Hm? What's he doing?

He's a sitting duck.
I can't miss when he's out in the open.

[exclaims in pain]

[electricity discharges]

[groans]

Did you think I had a superpower?

The suit makes me invisible,

and it can do that
to anything I put it on.

All right. I'll deal with you first.

[grunts]

Huh?

Another ricochet shot, huh?

You took my whole arm off with that one.

If you don't give up right now,
the next one's gonna take your head.

[gasps] Get out of there! Heisuke!

Just kidding.

[Heisuke] His arm's back!

[groans]

Heisuke!

[groans]

[tense music ends]

[b*ll*ts clattering]

[Seba] I just don't get it.

Why would you go to so much trouble
on behalf of somebody else?

Life's easier when you
don't waste your time with friends.

Shoulda stayed home, you're third-rate.

[Heisuke] Hang on.

My friends told me...

that I'm a top-notch sn*per,
the best they've ever seen with a r*fle.

Top-notch!

[Seba] Hm?

And they're my friends.
I'm not gonna turn them into liars, yo!

[Seba] You're obnoxious.

Just die.

Ready, Shin?

Huh?

Pii! Pii!

[exciting music playing]

[Seba] Huh?

[scoffs] That's just tragic.

Although, not bad
for sh**ting blindly, I guess.

[electricity buzzing]

What did you do?

[sighs] I'll let you
take it from here, Shin.

[Seba] The water... Crap.

Now that I can see you,
you've got nothing on me!

[Seba grunts]

- [electricity discharges]
- [groans] Everything hurts.

I'm tired.

LEADER, SEBA
THROWING IN THE TOWEL

[Heisuke] I knew that'd work.

You picked up
on what I was thinking perfectly.

sh**t SPRINKLER

SEE INVISIBLE GUY
GET HIM

Deciphering all that nonsense in your head
is never as easy as it should be!

Wait, for real?

[both gasp]

[Kashima] And now it's begun.

Just in case The Order found us here,

I had the whole Lab rigged with expl*sives
to ensure any evidence would be destroyed.

And our research was making
such good progress,

but I suppose it can't be helped.

It'll only take 20 minutes,
and then this place will be gone.

Along with those friends of your--

[Sakamoto] 20 minutes?

[cracks knuckles]

[Kashima] Hmm.

Five should be enough.

[grunts]

[upbeat music playing]

[Kashima] That body of yours
doesn't look very agile.

But what do you think of my body?

Am I not the most remarkable
human specimen that you've ever seen?

Using the Lab's technology,

I've modified my composition
to be 70% heavy weaponry.

Against me, you're nothing
but a prize hog on the chopping block.

I have weapons of my own.

[Kashima] What's this?
He didn't come here empty-handed?

Has he merely been testing the waters?


FLYER

MECHANICAL PENCIL

What adorable little friends
you have there!

A handful of trash
won't do you any good against--

[groans]

Throwing pencil lead?
I wasn't expecting you to play dirty.

But no matter. One eye is plenty. [grunts]



What have you done to me? I can't see!

[Kashima yells]

Only third-rate assassins
have to rely on their weapons.

[Kashima laughs]

If I'm third-rate,
and you can't get me to vacate the Lab,

that must mean
you're only about fifth-rate.

Are you immortal?

Who knows?

Even I have no idea
what it would take to k*ll me.

Maybe it is impossible.

- [Young Kashima grunts]
- [inaudible]

[Young Kashima gasps]

[silence]

The master validated who I am entirely.

He could ask me to do anything for him.

And I would!

[train approaching]

[Kashima grunts]

You're just another hypocrite

who's not willing to do
the things that need to be done.

[gasps]

[exhilarating music playing]

[gasps, laughs]

Confident, though!

But I wonder, how long will that last?

[gasps]

[Sakamoto] Do you ever stop talking?

[grunts]

[announcer on PA]
The next station is Okutabi.

The doors on the right side will open.

The next station is...

[operator sighs] Every day,
it's the same boring routine.

Just once, I wish
something interesting would happen.

Huh?

[exhilarating music continues]

Huh?

Whoa!

[all gasp]

- [grunts]
- [all gasp]

- [Kashima] We're on a commuter train?
- Are you all right?

[Kashima] I didn't know
the Lab was connected to the subway.

- Pardon me.
- [exclaims]

[man] I guess he must be really thirsty.

[grunts]

[Kashima] Sakamoto, you're incredible.

No wonder you're the master's favorite.

Expertly using your surroundings
to your advantage in combat.

Your very presence is a powerful weapon.

You truly are the ultimate assassin.

Now where are you hiding?

[grunts]

[Kashima] So fast.

If you really are immortal,
then I don't have to hold back.

[man 1] How could you do
something so terrible?

[man 2] And all because
they were picking on a stray cat!

[Young Kashima] Why do they all reject me?

What's wrong with getting rid
of people that are bad?

He's scary.

We need to report him to the authorities.

[dramatic music playing]

[Kashima] All I want to do
is serve justice for the people.

But no one ever understands.

[sinister music playing]

[gasps]

You are a special person indeed.

There are few who walk amongst us

willing to get their hands dirty
in the interest of the greater good.

If we are to live in a just world,
certain evils are required.

But everyone around me
thinks I'm some kind of monster.

[Slur] Shh...

- We're on the same side, aren't we?
- [gasps]

Worry not.
Because I accept you completely.

[gasps]

[Slur] Would you be willing
to fight by my side?

[groans softly]

In the interest of the greater good...

[announcer on PA] Okutabi. Okutabi.

[Kashima] I want to help the master
realize his dreams.

[woman] Hm?

That means I must erase
anyone who gets in the way.

This is priority seating.

- Move aside.
- [grunts]

Please.

Oh my! Thank you, young man.

[grunts]

[Kashima] Impossible! I can't move
fast enough to keep up with him.

[exciting music building up]

[strains]

[announcer on PA]
The next station is Satohigure.

The doors on the left side will open.
Please watch your step...

Huh? Whoa! Wasn't expecting that!

[Kashima] What is this?
He's stronger than steel!

And yet, he's just an ordinary human!

Damn you!

[Kashima grunting]

[groans angrily]

[straining]

[grunts]

[groans]

[gasps]

[Kashima] It's over now.

I've finally defeated that demon.

[exciting music cl*max]

[sighs]

[laughs]

Now that he's gone, the master's going
to be well pleased with me.

Oh dear.

Before I meet with him, I'd better find
a clean suit to change into.

[creaks eerily]

[Kashima gasps]

[strains]

[yells]

Get away! Get away from me!

Why won't you die?

You're nothing but a sheep!
You have no dreams or ideals!

Why does no one understand
the world needs people like us?

Ah! Thanks, mister!

[grunts angrily]

[Sakamoto] Don't know
what you're talking about.

- But I do know this much...
- [gasps]

I don't want you near my family.

[all] Huh?

[beeping]

[exciting music fades]

[bell dings]

[phone line ringing]

- [Shin on phone] Mr. Sakamoto, you okay?
- Took care of their leader.

- You did? Thanks!
- How's Lu?

They were holding her four floors down.

I'm almost there,
but something weird's going on.

They triggered
a self-destruct sequence on the Lab.

- It's got about 15 minutes left.
- Thank you!

So hurry.

[man screaming]

[Tanaka whimpers]

What the hell is happening to this place?

The whole building is falling apart!

- I can't imagine this is seismic activity.
- [whimpers] Oh, please! I don't wanna die!

We've gotta find an exit.

[gasps]

[gasps] Shin!

Yo! I'm glad we made it in time!

What's up with you two?

[Shin] We should hurry.

[crying]

Shin! I'm so sorry I was so mean to you!

The things I said to you were wrong!

I deserve what I got
for stealing your apron!

Ew! You're getting snot all over me!

I already forgot all about that.

Besides... I, um...

I said stuff I shouldn't have, too.

I'm sorry.

[crying] I don't know
what this is all about.

But it's such a relief, huh, Piisuke?

Pii!

- [Asakura] Shin!
- [Lu and Heisuke] Hm?

Old man?

Hi there.

Uh... Hey, it's been a while.

Yeah.

Mm. [exclaims]

The whole Lab's
gonna collapse in ten minutes!

- [others gasp]
- Wait, yo!

What do we do about all the people
that are still in here?

I saw a whole bunch of 'em on the way in.

Old man, do you have a map for this place?

[Asakura] Huh? Oh.

It's something like this.

What are we gonna do?
We don't have enough time!

[straining]

[scientist 1] What's going on?

[woman] I'm scared. Someone help!

[scientist 2] Get me out of here!

- Lu! Heisuke!
- Hm?

[Shin] I can hear thoughts
coming from this floor.

- Can you handle it?
- [Heisuke] Sure!

We'll meet back up later!

You come down to the lower level with me.

Uh... Okay!

[Asakura] Shin, you've really learned
to make the most of your ability.

[Shin] Pretty handy, isn't it?

Your research.

[exclaims] Shin! What are you...

Yes...

Yes, you're right.

[mouse clicking]

Mr. Shishiba, are you done?

I'm getting tired of slicing up rubble.

I appreciate the effort though, Osaragi.

[Shishiba exclaims] Bingo.

He was the one
pulling the strings around here after all.

Slur.

I've finally got you by the tail.

Look at the camera...

Well, this isn't worth a whole lot.

I can't see his face.

But we found Slur. Enemy of the JAA.

He's strong.

Won't make much difference.

Because when you pick a fight
against The Order,

all you've done
is signed your own death warrant.

Shin, which way?

I can hear... two people!

One voice is coming from that direction.

- Go find that one, old man.
- You got it.

[exclaims]

Found you!

[gasps]

[silence]

[sinister music building up]

[gasps]

What was that terrible bloodlust?

Nice to meet you, Shin.

- Give my regards to Sakamoto.
- [exclaims]

[breathing heavily]

[Shin] Where'd he go?

Who was that?

We made it!

- We're finally free!
- I'm just glad to be alive!

- [gasps] Look, Boss Man! He's here!
- [Heisuke] Mm?

- Lu! Heisuke! Mr. Sakamoto!
- [Ishikawa] Shin! Are you okay?

- Asakura!
- You're not hurt, are you?

I'm fine, but what about you guys?

I mean the Lab's falling apart.

Oh, you don't need to worry about us.

All the data from our research
is safely stored right up here.

Glad to hear it.

[scientist] He's doing so well
for himself.

- He saved us.
- I thought he'd be taller.

- I can't believe how handsome he's gotten.
- Can't believe it's really him.

Knock it off! You know
I can hear all your thoughts, right?

- Short guy energy.
- Seriously!

- [laughter]
- Stop!

- [Asakura] Hi there.
- Hm?

[Asakura] You must be the group
from the store, Sakamoto's?

Seems like Shin's very happy
to be working with all of you.

Take good care of him for me, okay?

You can count on us, mister!

- Uh-huh!
- Pi!

SAKAMOTO'S

[Aoi] Goodness!

You all look exhausted,
what happened to you?

Well, we had a really big day
at the museum.

[Aoi] Make sure you all put your laundry
in the hamper for me.

Daddy! Guess what?
On parents day at school,

teacher asked me
to write the answer on the blackboard!

Yo, that's great, Hana,
you finally got to tell 'em!

- [Hana] Yeah...
- [Shin] Lu, if you won't eat, that I will.

[Lu snoring, exclaiming]

Hey, I was saving that one!

- Come on, relax. It's just a shrimp.
- [grunts angrily]

- [Lu] Okay, then I'm taking this.
- [Shin] Hey! That's my konjac jelly!

PIISUKE

[Lu] Well, now we're even.

[Shin] No we're not,
they're completely different things!

Yeah, if you wanna get technical about it,
the fried shrimp is more expensive!

Jeez, you're such a brat.

You're so full of yourself, it drives me--

[both grunting]

Hey, what did you thought-m*rder us for?

Huh?

[Sakamoto] 'Cause you never learn.

[closing theme song playing]
