01x05 - DEAD MAN WALKING

[bunniefuu]

"Shinkansen"

"Carriage 1: Vault Car"

Well, I guess this means
we're done with the job.

Thanks for all the fun, guys. Later.

Where are you going?

I'm heading back to Kansai
to whoop that Executioner's a*s.

Huh? You almost died!

Can you not let my first aid go to waste?

Besides, you still haven't got your billion.

Hah! Money means nothing to me.
You guys can have it.

Nobody's ever scared me like that before.

I'll beat him, even if it kills me!

But dying isn't winning!

Who's gonna die?!

You are!

Ms. Swindler, you just gotta
let Bro follow his heart.

Huh?

That's just the way he rolls.

I think you just don't wanna die.

Th-That's not true! B-Bro, I'll just be
in the way if I go with you, right?

Nah, c'mon!

I done goofed!

I'm afraid you're all mistaken.
The job isn't over yet.

--Huh?
--You shittin' me?

We got you outta the damn vault.
Like hell it ain't!

Were you not listening
during the hotel briefing?

The job is to deliver us to a certain location.

We're not there yet.

I don't give a damn about any of that.

I see that. But our destination
is located in Kansai.

Since you're returning there,
we may as well go together.

Oh?

Where in Kansai? What's the destination?

I'll tell you when we're out of here.

"Absolute Quarantine Zone"

"Outside Shinkansen Carriage 3"

Hacker?

I'm going ahead to Kanto.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Didn't you hear what
Mr. Black Cat said on the train?

All of it.

Then, why? If you keep going,
you'll die in the Decontamination Zone!

Even so, this is a huge chance for me.

Can you imagine what it's like
to feel bored, no matter what?

I've tried to find things to entertain myself,
but nothing is ever enough.

But it might be different in Kanto.

It might be a world that doesn't bore me.

Every single day might be
fresh and fun in its own way.

That's why I'm going to Kanto.

But you can't--

I'm sick and tired of living
in this boring-a*s world.

I'm taking this chance,
even if it costs my life.

You're kidding!
Where there's life, there's hope!

Hacker, are you forgetting
about the collar b*mb?

Your hacking abilities will come in handy if--

It took a while to figure it out.
That's Kanto-made stuff for you.

--Take mine off, too!
--This is why I hate kids.

--The hell? Not fair!
--What a waste!

But what's the point if you really end up dead?

Here's a parting gift. You wanted one, right?

But parting gifts are for the people leaving.

I'll return this someday!

"Akudama Drive"

Looks like you're finally up.

Master...

Thank the recovery crew. A few minutes
later and we'd be in a grave.

No... There'd be nothing
left of us to fill a grave.

The Akudama!

What about them?!

What happened to them?!

"Kansai Police Hospital"
"West Building Room 603"

They were on the Shinkansen heading
for the Decontamination Zone.

They were on the Shinkansen heading
for the Decontamination Zone.

That's all I know.

I see.

In that case, they've gotta be dead.

The Akudama are alive.

You're kidding!

"Kansai Special Communication Room"
"Sky Hall"

You failed to deal with them.

But there's no way they could have survived.

It's true. You have blundered greatly this time.

Right!

Something that was supposed to be
delivered to Kanto was stolen as well.

You're on thin ice.

Yes, sir. I will keep that in mind.

"Near the Absolute Quarantine Zone"

"Abandoned Ward 3"

The hell? We got out of that sh*thole
and now it's raining?

I hate rain. It makes my hair all stiff.

Man, it's pretty awesome we got
outta there with that barrier, yeah?

Huh? Yeah...

Got anything else cool?

Like a bazooka to blow up the
Executioners or a money tree?!

We don't have anything that can be used to k*ll.

We didn't have time to prepare.

Hmm?

Tell us the destination already.
Not all of us wanna sit around all day.

You're so impatient when
it comes to work, Courier.

Fine, I will. Our destination is--

Before that...

It's about time you come clean.

Who the hell are you guys?

Is that necessary to know for the job?

That's right. The job we accepted
was to steal and deliver a vault.

But instead, we're delivering children.

Even you should know that changes things.

Then I'll pay more for the job.
I can double it if you want.

For real?!

Regardless of the situation,
I'm still your employer.

Damn kids. Did you honestly think
we took this job just for the reward?

Hmm?

--I thought the dreadlocked gorilla
and Hacker made that clear.

--Are gorillas strong?
--I thought the dreadlocked gorilla
and Hacker made that clear.

--Huh? Yeah.
--I thought the dreadlocked gorilla
and Hacker made that clear.

You're not gonna keep us hooked with money.

These collar bombs mean nothing
if we can't trust you.

A smart boy like you should get that.

Now, answer me. Who the hell are you?

What do you think you're doing?

I think that's enough.

I'm sure they can't say for a reason.

I mean, they were in a vault on the Shinkansen .

That's exactly why we need to know.

Somehow or another, they're involved with Kanto.

This is way beyond stealing some vault.
Kanto won't keep quiet.

And if that happens, won't it be
a problem for you, Swindler?

Hey! Lemme join if you're fighting!

Now's not the time, Bro!

Hey, did you hear what I said?

Um... This...

What?

I think you're being a bully.

Huh?

Hmm?

You're trying to force answers out of little
kids when they're not ready to talk!

That's plain bullying!

Beautiful...

Truly, so beautiful...

Bullying is bad. Cut it out, Doc.

Listen to Bro, Doc!

Want me to sever your carotid?

We're wasting time.

Keep all your damn feelings
out of the way of work.

Courier...

I finish 100% of the jobs I take,
even ones from damn kids.

Now, what's the destination?
I'll take you there.

I guess you're taking them no matter what.
Whatever. Suit yourself.

It appears we're on the same page now.

"Workbook"

What do these numbers mean?

They're coordinates.

These coordinates are our
destination... Expo Park.

Expo Park, you said?

--♬ Rain drops rain drops brighten my day! ♬
--Expo Park? Was there a place
like that in Kansai?

--♬ Rain drops rain drops brighten my day! ♬
--I like how "Expo" rolls off the
tongue. Sounds tough!

--♬ Mom under the umbrella watches me play! ♬
--I like how "Expo" rolls off the
tongue. Sounds tough!

--♬ Mom under the umbrella watches me play! ♬
--Where is it? Got a map?

--♬ Splish splash splish splash la la la! ♬
--I know where.

--♬ Splish splash splish splash la la la! ♬
--With just the coordinates? Whoa!

--♬ Splish splash splish splash la la la! ♬
--But I don't know what these last six digits are.

What are they?

You'll find out.

This kid is always hiding something.

Could you maybe cut him a little slack please?

I'm starving. Let's find something to eat.

There ain't nothing to eat for miles.

I haven't eaten in ages.

If you're taking us to Expo Park,
we can provide some food.

You have food? Oh, I guess
it's kinda yours though.

Huh? It's empty.

Close the lid and say what you want.

Huh? Um...

Takoyaki !

Open it up.

--H-Huh?! What is this, magic?!
--Whoa!

This lunch box can reconfigure atoms
in the water and air to make food.

It has 50 items on the menu.

Professor had us take it
so we wouldn't get hungry.

Professor? What a nice person!

Hmm? I don't know if they're nice or not.

Um, is this Professor person--?

If this makes food, I want meat!

--Gimme meat!
--Whoa!

The weaker one is, the more
they try to take by force.

Okay, Swindler! I'll just wait till you're done!

--After all, I'm strong!
--What a simpleton.

--Yes, you are. How nice of you.
--He's a total idiot.

Whoa! Look at all this meat!

At least one of us is classy.

I just love how fluffy they are!

Huh? Where the hell is my ramen?!

It doesn't do soup.

The box would get dirty.

Didn't it just do wine?!

Will marshmallows fill you up?

They're better when they're bloody
and look like brains!

Wha--?

--I want more!
--That was fast!

So you like takoyaki then?
You had some when we first met.

Tastes better than other
shitty food. But just barely.

Your mouth is stuffed like a hamster.

You guys should eat. That's why
Professor gave it to you, right?

Yeah. But we're fine without eating.

I don't know what I want to eat.

Huh? You're not hungry?

I feel an empty stomach, but no hunger.

Hmm?

Open wide, you two!

Huh? There's no point...

Hey! Mmf!

Tasty?

I don't know... but...

Yeah?

My tummy... is warm.

Is this another swindler trick?

The only ones it would fool are you two.

Hello! Bunny here!

'Sup?! It's Shark here!

Hey, everyone! Were you looking
forward to the program?

Shark, hey, Shark! You know about Kyushu Plant?

I know it's an experiment facility run by Kanto,
but that's everything I know!

Then since you live under a rock,
I'll teach you all about it!

Lucky me!

Kyushu Plant researches and
manufactures stuff that Kanto wants!

Yeah?

Every single thing labeled
"Kanto-made" is created there!

That's incredible!
Is there anything they can't make?

They can make anything!

And I mean anything!

I wish I had some Kanto-made brains!

That'd be perfect for you!

Yeah! You got that right!

Well, until next time!

"The End"

"Produced by
Kansai"

You're better than I imagined.

Seems we have devil's luck.

Boss, I'm sorry you had to come all this way.

So? I know you didn't come to visit.

You're a smart one.

Please keep it short since we're in pain here.

If you're well enough to joke,
I won't hold back any punches.

Huh?

You failed to deal with the Akudama twice--
at the hotel and on the Shinkansen .

This is absolutely inexcusable.

Um, didn't they die on the Shinkansen ?

The Akudama are alive.

No way! They escaped the
Absolute Quarantine Zone?!

What's more, they stole goods
from the front carriage.

They achieved their objective alive and well.

You're kidding...

Unless your brain stopped working,
you should know what that means.

Utter defeat.

Huh?

Is it not?

That's right. This is the biggest
failure since our inception.

We've received orders directly from Kanto.

We're to do a full-scale
search-and-destroy mission.

Boss, give us another chance! We won't--

Know your place!

You two are hereby suspended.
Be grateful you're still alive.

Master, let's do something on our own.
We can't let it end like this!

We've been suspended. Orders are orders.

But we were supposed to k*ll those Akudama!

Shouldn't we take responsibility?!

You don't know what you're saying.

Listen, we failed twice. End of story.

We got off easy with a suspension. Be grateful.

No way...

Master, you're fine with this?

So, I guess we're returning
to Kansai. What's the plan?

Run straight in and kick a*s!

Eat your meat before it rots.

Whoops!

The Executioners should know
by now that we're still alive.

In which case, they probably
set up a dragnet to find us.

We'll sneak in through the drainage pipe
for the moat around Kansai.

From the north side?

It's a shortcut to the coordinates.
I'll take them there no matter what.

We leave in four hours.

Not right away?

Woohoo! I can take a nap!

I'll sleep, too.
I can k*ll a bunch in my dreams.

Hey.

Yeah? Wh-What is it?

I got to see the way you sway people's hearts.

Huh?

Don't let your guard down.
Your little innocent act won't work on me.

That's not what I--

Help me...!

How long will you tag along?

Huh?

Courier...

How long? I wanna take them
all the way to Expo Park.

I can't let kids that little
go off on their own.

In any case, it's not like
I have much of a choice.

Say, is there anything you value
more than your own life?

What do you mean?

For example, what if you had to
give up your life to finish this job?

Like, if you could run away and live,
what would you do?

That's a shitty question...
because I never fail.

Penny for your thoughts?
Oh, speaking of which...

Here.

I'm giving back the 500 yen you
dropped at the takoyaki place.

Nope. Dropped money's bad luck.

C'mon, just take it!
This 500 yen got me into this mess--!

Mmm?

Forget it. Just take it.

Nope. I only take money when accepting a job.

Ugh, so stubborn! Take it!

---Nope
---Take it already!

--Nope.
--Hey! Where are you going?!

Lemme pay you back!

To all Executioners!

As of now, I'm declaring a
search-and-destroy of seven Akudama!

They attacked the Shinkansen
and stole goods bound for Kanto!

This is a disgrace to all Executioners!

What is our duty?

To exterminate all Akudama scum from the world!

Do we let them do as they please?

No! We won't stand for it!

"Wanted" "Dead or Alive"

Executioners must be the ultimate threat!
Executioners must be the enforcers of justice!

Executioners must be the ultimate threat!
Executioners must be the enforcers of justice!

We must cull and cut them down
without rest until none remain!

We will take every one of their lives!

And then we'll display their
severed heads to set an example!

As Executioners, that is
the purpose of our existence!

An order to all Executioners...

Dammit! To think we can do nothing!

Master! I can't stand this!

Master?

Are you sleeping?

Master? Pardon me.

Wha...?

"Execution Department HQ"

"Monument Hall"

Is this the entrance you were talking about?

Yeah. It'll take us all the way to Takatsuki.

"Outside Kansai"
"Fortification Wall North Side"

Yeah. It'll take us all the way to Takatsuki.

"Outside Kansai"
"Fortification Wall North Side"

Courier's secret route, huh?

Courier's secret route, huh?

Isn't the smell just awful?

It smells like Kansai's toilet.

--I think it smells like meat.

--I should make deodorizer.
--I think it smells like meat.

--I should make deodorizer.
--Maybe rotten meat.

The kids can ride on my bike. I'll take 'em--

You thought you got away from me?

He made his decision. He's prepared to die.
