When all the network has eyes, even if we were to send out mins turned into light or electrons...
It is a time when "one" is not able to make a "solid", a complex, into data yet...
The device to inject sleeping gas into the air conditioning system is now installed between the outer wall and the roof.
Roger... Set it to 02-20, and wait for the sign...
Are you guys cops? There is no such thing as justice in this world...
If you don't like this world, change yourself first!
If you don't like that idea, close your eyes and ears and live in solitude!
If you don't like that either...
Major.
Call everyone, tell them to equip with A2... I am A2 D3...
You hear that, Batou?
Yeah, I'm listening...
[01. Public Peace, Section-9]
I can't hand over command without a good reason.
This case is under Police jurisdiction.
I don't have to explain anything to you...
Don't be stubborn, just hand over command to our army...
You two.
Is this the time to be selfishly quarrelling?
Aramaki.
The real problem is the customers inside.
Right.
The customers who we belive to be captured are: the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the minister's secretary, the chairman of the minister's supporters organization and
2 visitors from the North American Industry Support Association...
It's been 17 minutes since the geisha robots captured them.
The hostess, who escaped on her own,
said that 2 of them might have been killed.
Other than that, we don't have a clue of the situation, inside the restaurant...
-Any opposing life-form, or demand? -Not at this point...
Communication blockade?
We're on...
News Censorship?
It's been 9 minutes since we executed Code 14, it won't last long...
We, Public Peace Section 9, will be taking on this case now.
Standby until then.
Kubota...
Tell me why the army wants to be involved?
One of our men is inside. I can't tell you more than that for now.
Alright, tell me about it later. Leave it to me.
Major.
Not yet.
The army wants to be involved... Watch your back.
Thanks for the advice...
Batou.
Not yet.
So that was the wiretap I heard when I was listening in on the Sniping Group's communications...
Togusa, Ishikawa.
Major, there are too many lines, it'll take me at least 2 hours to find it.
Togusa.
-Go out to the courtyard and be ready to strike. -Roger.
Saitou.
Although I neutralized the image curtain,
There are too many trees, so I can only do limited sniping...
Pazu! Bouma!
Anytime.
The guy who's controlling the robots geishas must be close,
Don't shoot the transmitter though.
Send the virus out before the guy erases the evidence.
Major, what if the robot geishas ask to entertain us?
You...
Everyone stay put. Stand-by OK.
Good, strike.
Go!
Pazu, Bouma! Follow the hunting virus.
Batou support them.
Sounds great.
Don't space out Togusa.
Chief! We have the scene under control.
One of the hostages needs emergency treatment...
There's a severe external wound...
The other one, judging from the damage to the head, is confirmed dead...
Batou and the others are pursuing the culprit.
Good, guide the minister and the rest out of the restaurant, but be alert.
I have the passage lighted and 4 wagons ready at the main entrance...
Move to alert level B6.
Roger.
Minister, can you walk?
Yeah. Thanks for helping me...
Major, the target is a cyborg.
Gathering detailed information. I can't find any others right now.
Don't kill him. Until we know what he was waiting for...
-Bouma, i'm going to catch up with you soon. -Don't jump out in front of the car.
Do I look like a child.
Tachikoma, are you fallowing me?
What took you so long, Tachikoma?
Give up yet?
Shit... I might've screwed up...
Come in.
So, will you tell me the story, now?
Yes, the minister's secretary, the one shot in the head . . . was my man.
She was under my command, and I ordered her to make secret inquiries...
-Inquiries about the minister? -Yes.
There seems to be some interest around him lately
regarding "The Ichinose Report"...
The one that contains scenarios for diplomatic and military tactics in an emergency, right?
Yes, of course.
The army won't refuse if the minister wants us to release it...
But it wasn't the minister himself who ordered it...
And we have been doing this safely...
The inquiry was what you'd call a confirmation of safety, just normal business.
Then why was she shot?
Hm ? She might have been erased because she knew something...
Anything related to the Minister?
I looked into it briefly, but nothing...
He wasn't being threatened and there was no unusual activity in his account either.
There's only you.
Now I'm screwed...
If it's okay with you, I was thinking about taking on this case...
How about it?
Great, but don't do anything that will leawe a scar on your career.
I'm going to take full responsibility if you should fail.
So?
Check up on out those around the Minister for anything unusual, and
find out exactly what was going on inside the restaurant...
I will look into the relationship between the army and the "Ichinose Report".
Oh, isn't he your friend?
Of course, that's why I'm the one who's investigating it.
Erasing his own memory... He sure has guts...
There might have been side-effects on his brain...
And I'm being laughed at by everyone...
A waste of money, isn't it?
If you're going to bother with shooting practice...
I recommend that you get an artificial body...
Are you saying I should become a cyborg...
I'm not stupid enough to mix orders for work-related and private matters.
I think your shooting back there was pretty good, but
If you thought your armor piercing bullets were going to hit the hostages,
you should have dealt with it according to the situation.
You did have your 9mm pistol with you, right?
Why do you think I pulled you out of the central office?
Don't you think it's better to try and contribute by doing what you're good at instead of being depressed?
We're going to closely examine what was going on for the 10 minutes before our strike.
How's your grandson?
What do you think?
Boy you're impatient...
"The Ichinose Report" won't affect the army in any financial way...
There's nothing you would be interested in either.
Government or Administration, who's idea was it?
Soldiers who would loose out because of it aren't in a position to know about it...
"Don't search for what you don't know, it's safer" your words...
You haven't changed...
There's a new restaurant with good shrimp. How about it?
Maybe next time...
The major is waiting.
What did you find out?
The picture of the "Willow" room right after the incident,
and the video from the camera inside the restaurant both bug me.
This man was supposed to have a spinal unit made for him by the North American Neutron Company...
But, when we put all the parts together, it didn't add up to the original one.
The next image is the foreign minister and a geisha in front of the restroom.
With a geisha?
Yes, it seems that he was drunk and having fun switching bodies with geisha.
That's the visitor from the North American Industry.
Does he "play" too?
I have no idea... I didn't find any images of what was going on inside the restroom.
Here comes his secretary, all worried about the minister.
That's where the secretary was attacked...
This is different than what the other visitor told us,
He said the visitor was attacked before the secretary.
The chairman was pretty drunk,
but he told us he thought he heard the secretary's scream first.
What did the secretary see?
What did she see?
-Minister, can you walk? -Yeah, thanks for saving me.
Major.
You said the minister liked to switch bodies with geishas, right?
Yeah, so?
What if the minister had his brain core switched?
If they wanted "The Ichinose Report",
They would need the minister's body, his looks...
The secretary must have witnessed the minister's brain being switched...
Ishikawa.
Kubota! This is Aramaki! About the Minister of Foreign Affairs...
The minister was here with the visitors from the North American Industry Support Association...
They took "The Ichinose Report" with them.
They have the encoded version, so that might buy us a little time, but...
Where is the minister now?
He's on his way to the airport.
He's going to give a speech at the party for the North American Industry Support Association.
I heard he's flying to America.
Batou! Equip with L2 it's an emergency.
After picking up Togusa and Saitou, we'll head to the airport.
Minister.
We're very sorry.
Your private plane has been delayed 15 minutes late due to bad weather...
Is that so...
We're moving out.
Minister.
Sorry for the delay. Your jet is ready...
Please, hold it right there Minister.
Oh, it's you? Thank you for the other day... Is something wrong?
I was sent here to give you this.
What is this?
To recuperate from illness, I will resign from office...
Me? What is this. An official resignation!
Now, that you have read that document, you are no longer a minister.
What! What authority do you have.
From the Prime Minister, along with the Government party, this is an official matter.
If you want to, go ahead and confirm it yourself.
Assemblyman, you are suspected of spying,
and of being a political exile from various countries.
Please come with us to the station...
You! Who do you think you are!
Stop! He is not the minister you should be guarding.
We have the brain core secured...
You have lot of explaining to do about who you are...
Take him away...
She's going to have an operation, to have her brain supported by Cyberbrain technology and micro-machines...
There's going to be some feedback in the language area,
but nothing that would be a difficulty in everyday life.
That's good.
This case, it's a shame we couldn't solve it,
but thanks for everything...
Right after the incident, if you didn't hold out,
the police would have gone in, shot the robots, and thought matters were settled...
Section 9 wouldn't have been involved, and by now,
the media would be in panic about the Minister of Foreign Affairs spying and in exile...
I still can't believe you got the papers needed to persuade a politician in such a short time...
It's like they say, always be prepared...
There was no bad weather, and the plane came late...
That is Public Peace, Section 9...
- Ending Theme - 'Lithium Flower' Compose : Kanno Yoko Song : Scott Matthew
she's so cold and human
it's something humans do
she stays so golden solo
she's so number nine
she's incredible math
just incredible math
and is she really human?
she's just so something new
a waking lithium flower
just about to bloom
I smell lithium now
smelling lithium now
how is she when she doesn't surf?
I wonder what she does
when she wakes up?
when she wakes up...
Tachikoma.
Tachikoma-kun
Oh!
Are you looking, are you looking!
Hey!
Hey.
Gentelmen. Comunication is conversation.
You didn't forget that's the beginning of language, did you?
We always just use cables to communicate.
It's time that we learn to use spoken language for a change!
What's he talking about?
Who knows?
i, i, i, i, pts
Why should we use such a primitive form of communication; if we use a cable we get and uderstand the images immediately.
From the beginning, the faster information is transmitted, the more profitable it is.
I think humans should abandon their primitive protocol.
-I agree! -Yeah, yeah!
What are you talking about?
Think about the high-speed communication devices that we're equipped with,
and don't leave out the voice box that lets us input and output sound.
As far as transmitting information goes, both spoken and written languages are full of weaknesses.
I think it's very dangerous to rely on language as a tool of information transmisson.
Although language is only a tool, right?
ZZZ
Eh!
I don't want to know how this turns out.
Wouldn't the Major say we're babbling?
Help!!
