Episode 21 D.O.D. -Dream or Die-
Translate these sentences, Anita.
Yes.
"Jibun no shourai hajibun de erabu beki da. Watashi wa so omou."
Aah, correct. Good, Anita. Very nice, King-kun.
It's fascinating no matter how many times I see it.
The way you drink milk is an art form.
Where's Chiho-chan?
She's over there.
Is something wrong?
No.
You don't have to read it.
My sister's book is embarrassing.
I already bought it.
What do you want to be when you grow up, Hisa-chan?
The Permanent Library for Mankind What do you want to be when you grow up, Hisa-chan?
The Permanent Library for Mankind
Mmm, let's see.
I like books, so I guess it would be nice if I can be a librarian.
That's nice. That fits you well.
What about you, Anita-chan?
I wonder if I can be anything.
See you tomorrow, then.
Yeah, tomorrow.
I'm home.
Time is Money
How is the old man doing?
The Permanent Library for Mankind
Pardon me for entering.
Ambassador Mayer of the UN has reached Nicaragua this afternoon.
Toto Books Makeshift Store Open - Store #2
The purpose of his visit is said to be negotiation with and containment...
of the country's government, which is becoming a stratocracy.
The ambassador is scheduled for a meeting at...
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tomorrow afternoon...
but the government representative has yet to be announced.
The next news: As a part of policies by President Cole of the United States...
a decision has been made to build a branch of...
the Permanent Library for Mankind in Colombia.
The Permanent Library for Mankind in Colombia. Yomiko?
This is one of the branches that are to be built in various nations...
Long time no see.
This is one of the branches that are to be built in various nations...
which are to serve as launching pads to unify information systems. It's been a long time.
Currently, 118 branches are being built.
What is this place?
The Permanent Library for Mankind is...
Toto Books Number 2.
The Permanent Library for Mankind is...
The last bookstore in Jinbo-cho.
It's plain crazy.
They took all the books I had and destroyed the store.
Although I managed to move some of them here.
What about the police? Don't they do anything?
There must be some sort of understanding somewhere high up.
The same thing's happening all over the world.
Libraries, book districts, used bookstores, publishing companies.
Their books taken away, their stores destroyed...
their alleys taken over by those people.
I saw that too.
What are they building?
Their facilities.
They're soon going to complete a transmission center for...
an ideal system that unifies and controls all information and...
distributes it equally to everybody.
That's what that flier says.
No thanks to that.
I'd rather look for and choose books myself...
no matter how much time and effort it takes.
Midnight Liberation Zone Sumiregawa Nenene no matter how much time and effort it takes.
Midnight Liberation Zone Sumiregawa Nenene
So would I.
Look.
Take back Jinbo-cho from them.
But... I...
I'll give you all the books I have here.
Please!
I'll come with you.
What, you're coming?
How are you settling into your new world?
This isn't right.
But you're happier this way now, aren't you?
This place is only a sample. It requires tweaking either way.
We need to correct the things you feel awkward about as well.
So we'd like you to cooperate.
Where's the Book of the All-Seeing Eyes?
It was burnt with the helicopter.
That's what you wanted to find out, right?
What now? Are you going to capture me and run tests on me?
You're mistaken.
It's true your abilities will no longer be required...
once the Perfect Language is completed.
We'd like to collect your body cells and blood as samples, but that's all.
Then we'll give you a new past, family, and friends.
Of course your previous memories will be erased...
You can go on with your new life without ever knowing it.
It will be nothing but a lie.
It will be like a dream.
Would you rather die a dog's death, then?
How long can a child like yourself survive without help?
Make up your mind by the end of the school day.
Whether to keep dreaming or die.
This is Wendy Earhart.
The Book of the All-Seeing Eyes is...
presumably in the wreckage of the helicopter.
Please activate a search party immediately.
All right.
What about Anita King?
You may continue to keep her under surveillance.
As a candidate for Gentlemen, then?
No, it may not necessarily be the case any longer.
I'll talk to you about it later.
All right.
Excuse me. Please continue.
This is the data from Junior's transmitter.
This is where it was cut off.
And this is where the copter exploded.
There is a slight time lag.
Meaning?
There is a possibility that it's an imitative deception.
"Oh Diana," Anne whispered...
holding her hands firmly. Hey, look at this.
Can I see it later?
"Would you ever like me..." Can I see it later?
"Would you ever like me..." No, right now.
Hey, you two, you're in class. No, right now.
Hey, you two, you're in class.
- Yes. - Sorry.
You've ruined a very nice scene.
Let's collect ourselves and start again.
"Oh Diana," Anne whispered, holding her hands firmly.
"Would you ever like me? Would you be my soul mate?"
Hishiishi, try and translate this passage.
Yes.
"Ah Diana,' ryoute o shikkari nigitta Anne wa, sasayaku yo na koe de itta."
"Anata watashi o suki ni natte kureru kashira?
Kokoro no tomodachi ni natte kureru kashira?"
OK. Fine. That's good, Hishiishi.
Anita-chan?
Hisa-chan, I'm sorry.
I'll try to come back again someday.
Anita? Hey!
Well, where were we?
I'm home.
I'm sorry.
I can't forgive you.
But there are people whom I can't forgive even more than you.
I'll team up with you again until we beat them.
Let's capture them. Please track them via satellite.
Copy that.
Mumble... mumble... Mumble?
Junior-kun?
Good morning.
So we're all separated?
Yes. We were caught by surprise, and they used gas.
We have to go find them.
We should stay put.
Drake-san and I had agreed that we would meet here if something happened.
I'll take over.
No, I'm fine. Please go rest.
I've been resting all this time.
Come on, let's switch over.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
They're moving toward the center of Tokyo.
Presumably by sky. Probably on their paper plane.
Joker-san. They've reached the antenna installation site in Jinbo-cho.
It appears so.
I already hear screams from the people there.
I'll send in a capture team.
That won't be necessary. I'll go there myself.
Words are more effective than force on those two.
Please return straight to the headquarters.
We'll talk more in detail then.
Copy that.
Joker.
Yes, Frankie?
This is what we found searching the area...
of the copter's crash site via satellite.
It's an image from 20 minutes ago. They're talking to a person in hiding.
I can guess who that might be.
Please let me know when you get an image of that person.
OK.
We're over Jinbo-cho, sir.
Quite the havoc they've caused.
Can't you say hello in a little more peaceful way?
You're the ones who started it!
We can greet in a peaceful way.
If you'll restore Jinbo-cho and the world.
Do you think that's possible?
Why are you trying to change the world?
What's wrong with the way it is now?
You're truly stupid, aren't you, Yomiko?
Once our plan is realized, there will be no more war.
A perfect peace will become a reality.
That's not all.
Every member of mankind will gain equal wisdom.
We will be able to give every child a chance.
There are children in the world whose emerging intelligence withers away...
without ever being exposed to books.
Although a selfish bibliomaniac...
like yourself may not be able to understand it.
Surrender. If you do so now, we will still take you back.
Don't be deceived, you idiot!
He's the bad guy!
I've hardly read books, either.
But I don't need you people's help!
My memories are mine!
I won't let you play with them!
I'm sorry.
Anita-kun seems to be a tougher character.
So, what are you going to do?
Tour around the world like this?
That won't be necessary.
Please order them to stop the construction.
You two are savages.
Excuse me.
Good timing. Please transfer it.
Roger.
Join me, please.
This image was taken merely minutes ago.
- Nancy-san! - Mi-nee!
They're alive!
An elite U.S. Troop will rush to the scene shortly.
I do hope to capture them in a peaceful manner.
However, if the situation calls for...
we'll kill them.
What do you want?
Your surrender, of course.
A nostalgic smell of wind is somewhat lonesome
People think tenderly of the never returning days
The power of time is too big Even if I drift along by myself
I believe in my destination An unchanged place of smile
Even if it's a dream, split in two
Or you're just so far away and can't be seen
I'm sure we're strongly connected by our hearts
We'll definitely meet again
Even in the Winter in which I cried
and the Summer in which we laughed together
I could trust in you When I close my eyes
I can feel your warmth from those days
