"Clone Baby" Episode 9
On the night of July 7th, the Tanabata festival, us clone babies were born.
The clones have a set fate.
That destiny was the Law of Magnetics which means we're drawn together like magnets.
- I believe that you're the one for me, Masamune. - Marika...
And their other destiny is to kill each other due to the Law of Divine Providence.
I may have to kill you.
- The first one to lose their life was... - Gota...! - ... Mikumo Gota.
One after the other the clones are being chased by the hands of evil with one main person behind it all.
Hazuki Soichiro - he was part of the Asterisk project.
How can they escape from the vicious circle of killings?
The way to stop the Law of Divine Providence is called the Restraint Tool.
Tell me. Who is asking you to do this.
I've got it! Now I know what the clones were created for.
They'll transfer the clones' internal organs into her to lengthen her life.
Does that mean we were created so we could be killed?
- They took my lung in exchange. - Ozu!
I don't want any other lives to be lost.
Who are you?
We have the same genes, but only one of us can remain alive.
This is a life-or-death game where we battle for the one chair.
Tonight the fate of us clones will swoop down on us.
Wait!
Marika!
Marika...
I was the one who broke up with you first!
I'm the grown-up one, so I guess I should apologize first.
Kanako!
Is Okajo here?
- They really are in the clone research lab. - Has Marika been kidnapped?
Ozu was thrown out like trash earlier. I can't let that happen to her too.
If you go in there, they'll kill you too.
But we have to save Marika.
- Couldn't you just stop it? - Eh?
Clones and killing each other... I'm scared of it all.
Let go!
I don't want to die.
You're always running away!
There's nobody more important to me than myself.
- But you helped save my teacher. - I don't want to die myself!
Okajo...
Just let me be!
There is only one chair prepared for us.
Wakabayashi? We're about to move out on the current case.
Sorry, but something sudden came up. I'll catch up with you later.
Eh? Hey... Wakabayashi! Wakabayashi!
I saw it.
A girl wrapped in bandages...
I guess... I must be a clone too.
I can't escape it.
This is our destiny.
"CLONE BABY" 9th CLONE
You crook detective!
"Katsushika Marika has been taken to the clone research facility. Can you come?"
Marika!
You've woken up?
I felt like I was being pulled somewhere by something.
Wakabayashi...!
- Why? - Don't think bad of me.
Okajo, you won't die.
Because... you're a god, Okajo.
I need to look into the inner workings of the research facility.
I'll check the monitor and you can get in touch with these earphones.
Naturally they have a microphone attached.
These card keys were made by hacking the certification code.
- It should be your pass into most rooms. - Okay.
Miss, it's best if you just wait here.
I know the lab's layout well. I may be able to help by going with you.
Do take care.
As soon as we get Marika, we'll come straight back.
Okajo, you look after Kanako.
Let's do it.
Okay, okay, okay. Just keep going straight.
- There's nobody in front of you. - Okay.
In that ward in front of you is our root, Hazuki Mio.
We're more concerned with saving Marika right now.
This is weird. Things are going too well.
It's fine. If you go another 10 meters straight ahead, Marika is in the room to your left.
Okay.
Oh?
What's wrong?
The two of them just went into Marika's room, but they've not appearing on the monitor.
What's going on?
Oh no! What's going on?
- Oh no! It's dummy footage! - Eh?!
Masamune? Miss?
- Okajo, what shall we do? - It should be okay with the inner network.
- I'll try to sneak into it. - No! That's dangerous!
I'm a god.
I'll be back soon.
Okajo...!
Hey! Okajo! Marika isn't in this room!
Hey!!
Hey!
I'd been waiting for you.
- You're...? - Hazuki Soichiro.
- He's the guy who created us clones. - What are you doing here?
This is that Law of Magnetics.
How impressive.
Don't be stupid!
On the monitor there seemed to be an open door around here.
Okay!
Here goes!
Okajo, how's it going?
I got into the room. Drone-beetle, don't move from where you are.
Mm, I won't.
Kikuchi Hiro, you really have grown up big.
You boys are the stars of hope - the Asterisks.
Gota had believed what you'd said until the very end.
He'd believed that he could become your son.
I want to drink alcohol with my father and my friends.
If I'm the last one left alive, that dream will come true.
But you'd planned on murdering him from the very start.
I can't let you misunderstand my intentions.
From the very start your lives were my daughter's.
- Daughter? - Hazuki Mio.
This man created you clones to be able to transfer your internal organs into his severely ill daughter.
- So... the master clone is... - Yes.
It's Hazuki Mio.
Have you kids ever truly loved another person before?
When you try to protect someone you love, you're willing to use every talent you have to be able to do that.
In my case that wasn't armed force or medical skills.
It was research!
You kids are...
We're just your research results?
Who gave you the right to take someone else's life just because you were able to create human beings?!
Your older brother said the same thing.
What's the matter?
Hey, call for an ambulance! An ambulance!
You should remember that.
You should know full well that butting into business you shouldn't is life-threatening.
Where is Katsushika Marika? Let her go.
There is one condition.
Let me have the internal organs... of one of you... Either is fine.
There is only one female clone.
I'd like to save her for last.
Stop talking such nonsense!
Or would you rather we killed this girl?
- Kanako! - Sorry, Masamune...
So after the Law of Magnetics next is the Law of Divine Providence?
So... go ahead and kill each other.
Drone-beetle! What should I do?
Listen up. You'd better not touch me.
Hurry up.
It's easy. All you have to do is awaken your instincts.
There is only one chair prepared for us.
Kill him... kill him...
- Damn it. - Masamune...
I am a god. I can do this.
Masamune, stop it! Stop it!
Heat! Heat! Heat!
Don't move.
Where is Marika?
Before that... let me get what I can from you.
I have made the preparations for the procedure to get the internal organs from you boys.
It's just a matter of waiting.
- Three more minutes. - What do you mean?
You boys aren't the only clones, are you?
I've finally found her.
If someone goes into that room, toxic substances will be automatically pumped into it.
The doors and windows will also not open from the inside.
Darn it...
Okajo...!
Kanako!
Go! I'll be sure to get Marika and bring her out. Hurry!
Okajo! Can you hear me? Okajo?
Drone-beetle, Katsushika Marika is in... room A201.
- Hiro, Marika is in A201. - Okay.
Tell me where Okajo is. I'll go and save him. Okajo!
- Right. - Right?
Open the emergency door.
Go straight.
Go down the stairs.
Okajo, wait there! I'm on my way!
That signal goes directly to the police.
Who cares about that! Which way now?
What's that?
- There's a door... at the end of the long hall. - Yes.
- If you open that, you'll see me. - Okay.
Drone-beetle... if I have to tell the truth...
... I'd always hoped you'd find me.
Okajo, I'm on my way, so please stop talking.
After meeting you, Drone-beetle, I...
... have been found.
- You're great, Okajo! You're a cool genius! - Really?
- The place where I should be... - Incredible! You're great! Okajo, you really are a god!
Why are you talking about that now? Okajo, you're a god, right?
I'm not a god.
I'm human.
Drone-beetle, you helped me realize that.
You found me and who I truly am... Thanks.
Okajo, we'll be able to meet up again now.
"Do you want to send this message to Drone-beetle? From Okajo"
"From Okajo"
Okajo...
How come...?
Okajo! Okajo! Okajo...
- Kanako... - You liar!
Bingo.
Drone-beetle...
Okajo!!!
I'll be back soon.
I don't remember ever becoming friends with you.
I don't need any pesky people like you in my life.
There's nobody more important to me than myself.
Liar....
Liar! Liar! Okajo is a liar!
Okajo! Okajo!
I won't forgive this.
I won't!
Mio?
No way...!
He betrayed me?
You're always helping me.
But someday I'll probably end up killing you.
That's fine.
You think I'm the master clone, don't you?
You are not the master clone.
But I don't care about that.
I've noticed that.
I...
Hiro!
Marika...
Hazuki Soichiro...!
I will not forgive you!
