-W-What's happening? -Hey, who's in that thing?
Hey, stop.
What, it's stopped...
Hey, what's going on?
This is what you wanted... Kago?
[02. Proof of Recklessness]
For now, we don't see any differences between each of them.
-That means you lack uniqueness. -Uniqueness?
I would rather you say that every Tachikoma has the same specs.
But that wouldn't be exciting.
I'll give you a little treat. Natural oil.
Hey, are you sure you want to give it that? It might learn strange things.
Don't worry.
This is love for my machine.
This is way different from the usual synthetic oil.
-Major.
Get 6 Tachikomas ready, with full armor.
Is something wrong?
36 minutes ago at Kenbishi Heavy Industry's Maneuvers Dome,
their new multi-legged tank began to go out of control...
We know that the guy on board is using the identification code from this machine's designer,
Takeshi Kago, who died a week ago. But no other details for now...
No opposing life forms or demands, but...
bearing in mind the situation at Harima Education Institution Lab-City.
The Department of the Interior suggested the possibility of a terrorist attack,
so they called for us, Public Peace Section 9, to be sent out.
We've been informed that the tank went wild during the final tune-up.
If the problem was a flaw in the security system hardware or software...
The Army, who was planning on officially adopting the tank, will place all the blame on Kenbishi.
They never change...
They'll only help us if this is declared to be a terrorist act.
Trying look good won't help national defense.
By the way, you're going to fight against a tank you don't know the specs of, using Tachikomas?
They're not altogether useless.
Way to go Major.
Are you sure?
Major, the tank has changed direction.
Is leaving the Harima Education Institution Lab-City.
This is our chance.
Technology Road from the Harima Education Institution Lab-City is an isolated road,
it was created from a mountain trail. There are only farms and villages around.
Okay, we're going to finish off the tank while it's on Technology Road.
Pazu, you search for any opposing forces from terrorist organizations that oppose cyberbrain or cyborg technology.
Bouma and Saitou, go ahead and set up an ambush on Harima Technology Road.
Snipe it from where we won't do any damage to the area, and stop it.
Togusa, you will meet up with the Chief at Kenbishi and investigate why the tank went out of control.
Batou and I will lure the rampaging tank with the 6 Tachikomas.
That is your task.
Don't cry when you get blown up by that tank, okay.
Harima Education Institution Lab-City, is where our neuro-chips were made, isn't it?
A triumphant return return home.
Stop chit-chatting, or the Major will scold you.
We are the Armored Shell Special Unit. Give me a status report.
Yes! According to our reports, the tank will appear soon.
Captain.
So far, it has only destroyed its fellow tanks, and hasn't attacked anyone else.
Open the road and leave everything to us.
Don't gawk at it too much and get into its field of vision.
Let's go.
-That's the first time I've seen the Institution... -They really do exist...
We will maintain this distance and continue to keep watch until the ambush point.
Jigabachi, is the army just going look on with folded arms?
It's just insurance and containment for Kenbishi Heavy Industry.
Anyway, what the heck does this tank want?
We don't even know where it's headed. Is there really someone inside that thing?
Even if we don't have a chance against it, being ignored like this really makes me mad.
Would you like to jump in front of it, then?
Just kidding...
I'll wait for the report from Oyaji and Togusa. Note: Here, Batou calls Aramaki Oyaji, meaning old man.
Major, i looked through 20 of the 23 organizations which fit the search criteria,
but I couldn't find any that relate to this case.
Okay, then look through the remaining 3, and if you can't dig out any information,
search them in a different way.
How about we just fake this case as a Yukai-han, a tank thief, or a fault in the AI? Note: A Yukai-han is a criminal who takes delight in people's reactions to his crimes.
Even the actions of a Yukai-han or a tank thief are considered terrorism.
We can't dismiss that fact that there might be a fault in AI completely,
but we will wait for the report from the chief for that.
There is a technician named Ooba who also worked on the development of the tank,
a colleague of the late Kago Takeshi.
I hear he was working on maintenance of the tank until right before the situation occurred.
You guys find out everything he knows about what the tank wants.
I will be meeting with the heads of Kenbishi.
Got it!
You are Toshio Ooba, the development manager for the tank, right?
W-what, y-yeah...
In order to minimize the damage...
We want you to hand over your information on the new tank immediately.
This is all of it, right?
Y-yes...
Major.
I'll send you the data on the tank, that Kenbishi Heavy Industry gave us.
Confirmed. I'll be able to get something out of this.
Soon we'll have to do more than just look at this tough looking tank's ass...
We're almost at the ambush point.
Saitou, ready?
Almost...
Is this good? Yeah.
Stand back Major.
Not yet! I'll wait until the last second, so we don't alert it.
Satellite link established.
Major!
Okay!
Chief?!
Major, the data from the "Hawk's Eye" has been stolen.
He seems to be linked with the satellite.
Give me one more chance with my naked eye.
It seems, you didn't give us all of the information on the tank.
Withdraw and meet up with us.
Roger.
Is he going to take the highway?
He probably has somewhere he wants to go quickly.
Jigabachi's leaving...
It's almost time for the news censorship to be broken...
No sign of any terrorist organizations...
So unless Kenbishi admits that this is their fault...
The army will pretend to know nothing about this.
I guess we'll have to stop this ourselves.
Let's hope we can salvage the situation.
Looks like we can't take it easy...
It's going to be a totally different story, depending on wich way he goes at the fork.
You must have known the answer the Army would give us, without even asking them.
The rest is up to whether or not you can trust us, Public Peace Section 9.
We spent 6 years developing the HAW206.
You cops can't guarantee we won't be damaged by revealing the spect.
That's assuming someone will purchase it.
If this keeps up, that tank wearing the polished mark of Kenbishi..
will be showing a demonstration of the worst kind.
Is that what you want?
Can you please stop the tank with your tanks?
What are you so worried about?
Why will you not tell me? You made that tank, didn't you?
Why do you think it went out of control?
Do you really not know?
We're not really questioning you as a suspect...
Will you help us?
Or, do you have a reason that you can't tell us?
Batou! We're going to verify which way it wants to go.
-Isn't it going to the city? -Don't count on it.
Scatter.
Are you okay?
Yeah, i'm okay~
Wait there for rescue.
Okay...
He's lucky! He broke!
He might get a struktural analysis!
Chief, he's headed for the bridge.
It might be our last chance to use the anti-tank missile.
Ask them if the missile will be of any use.
If we fail, we might destroy the bridge, which would cost the taxpayers 4 times as much as SPring-8 did. Note: SPring-8 is the world's most powerful synchrotron, it cost roughly one billion dollars to build.
Did you hear that? What do you think, Development Manager?
When it gets to the other side of the bank, it will enter the city.
Once it gets there, we'll have fewer ways of stopping it.
You shouldn't use the missile.
Since we think it is using Mode L,
most wireless guided missiles would be jammed.
Even a laser guided missile?
For laser guidance, the tank will give out deceptive signals to make the missile miss.
Even if the missile uses online guidance, if fired from more than 300 meters away,
the tank will hack it more than 90% of the time,
and possibly send the missile back at the sniper himself.
If you had held your tongue, that might have been good advertisement.
Chief, we know who's in the tank.
Who's driving that thing?
Takeshi Kago.
Did you say Takeshi Kago? He died a week ago.
Yes, i heard. According to him, he connected Kago's brain to the tank's AI.
How could you do such a thing?
Well... Because it was Kago's will...
Major, are you listening?
The tank's destination is Takeshi Kago's home.
Here's the destination...
It's close...
Yeah, we're in deep trouble.
We think his objective is to take revenge on his parents.
Kago displayed a genius for designing tanks,
and was recruited when he was still in collage.
His body was very weak,
and he was told by the doctors that unless he became a cyborg, he wouldn't be able to make it to his twentieth birthday.
However, because of his religion, he wasn't allowed to even use a cyberbrain.
He lived to be 28 because of his deep devotion to designing tanks.
Ooba, grew up in similar circumstances, but survived by becoming a cyborg.
So Ooba executed Kago's will,
which was that when his body died, he would be released from his religion.
So, when that happened, he wanted his brain to be connected to the tank.
It's me. Get me Ishikawa from the Awaji Department.
So, why does Kago want to take revenge on his parents?
Before Kago died, he blamed his parents for his weak body.
Whenever something happened, he always said he wanted a steel body.
So when he was released from his life, he would be able to get a steel body
without going against the teachings of his parents.
Kago entrusted his dream to Ooba...
My my, what a stubborn guy.
It looks like the destination is around here. We're going to jump off and continue the chase.
Want to hurry up?
The tank has finally entered the city.
There are no casualties so far,
But, we can't be sure from now on.
There will be no casualties.
P-President!
I need to leave Kenbishi intact for future generations.
Thank you for your cooperation.
We're going to use the wires.
Aim for the tank's legs.
Cut the wires.
Physical attacks are useless against him.
Don't do anything stupid.
It's an army's tank, you're going to get your brain toasted!
It won't do any good!
I'll do what i can!
How long until we're within shooting range?
About two minutes.
Major!
Major, no more! Stop!
Stop!
Chief.
The monkey finally persuaded the raccoon... Note: He means that Aramaki persuaded Kenbishi's president.
Kenbishi's Anti-Multi-Legged Tank weapon... If they had that, they should have given it to us earlier!
It finally stoped...
What an adhesive...
Chief, give me the access code to unlock the data wall.
I'll open the hatch and take out Kago's brain.
If he didn't have the defense barrier of a tank, it would be just a defenseless brain...
Batou, give me a hand. Sure!
Any physical traps?
I think it's okay, but be careful...
Takeshi.
Is that you, Takeshi?
-What the heck! Why aren't they somewhere safe?
Did you stop it?
They burned Kago's brain just now...
Kago...
Shit, did he hate his parents that much?
Nah...
When I burned Kago's brain, it was only for a moment, but he was thinking,
"How do you like my new steel body?"
A weird feeling between pride... and revenge...
That's enough, it was probably an illusion.
I hope so...
We don't have any way to confirm that now...
- 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

how is she when she doesn't surf?
I wonder what she does
when she wakes up?
when she wakes up...
Tanchikoma.
I'm back! See, see!
Eh, nobody's here?
Oh, what's this?
The Majors is going somewhere. Her destination is a secret.
Still, since you insist on using language to communicate, I've left you a memo.
Geez!
She still doesn't understand the purpose of language!
If that's all she was going to say,
she should have just used a direct connection instead of writing this long essay.
Language isn't for conveying superficial information,
isn't it important to try to increase one's own language ability?!
Take, this, you, damn
Ah
That reminds me, I feel like something has been shaking for awhile now...
Is it possible that there's an error in the control system?
Could I have activated the "Anger Circuit"?
No abnormality reported from the self-diagnosis program...
Eh?
Oooi! Oooi!
Hold up!
Aiya, what are they doing?
Up! Up!
This can't be...
