This way, Hitomi.
This way, hurry!
Father...
No, don't do it. Run away Hitomi!
Hitomi, you have to run.
This area is off-limits. You were warned.
Let me go! -Shut up, kid.
What the...
Dang...
You piece of shit. -Get back here!
This is Block F220, There is rubble falling down.
Wow.
That was close.
Hè?
I just got a notification that... -I don't care.
What I need is...
Keep searching.
Because of the contamination the number of regions where life was still enjoyable
had shrunk.
That's why they devised a project.
They created a vertical
multi-layered and self-sufficient city:
The special zone of Tatehama, the utopia of a metropolis.
But one day, a certain being started its demise.
Sinner or savior? -Doesn't that sound good, chief?
Or a mysterious hero?
Hayami, that's just ridiculous. -But...
Oh... -Good morning.
The inhabitants of the ground floor are dreamers.
They made that up. -No, that story is real.
I saw that hero with my own two eyes.
Hayami, the articles that you write are too dangerous.
Right.
But...
Because of your lugubrious stories our profit did double.
So just keep writing. -Of course.
Say...
Expansion of endangered neighbourhoods.
Lady Jiru, the number of malfunctions in the city is growing.
Perhaps the condition of the artificial intelligence worsened.
I know.
If only we could get them...
Good morning, Lady Jiru. Can I help you with something?
Aren't you the journalist called Hayami? -So you know who I am.
It's a great honour.
A very great honour. -You've seen her, right?
Who?
The one you're writing about in your article! -No, haven't seen her.
I heard you met her. -That was a lie. A joke.
Are you sure about that?
Very sure.
I see.
If you do find her, let me know.
Apparently they found another dead soul just outside the city.
And that after I've been constantly warning you.
The virus kills everyone that goes outside of the city.
Outside is hell, the ground floor is hell.
But upstairs is paradise, people!
The lucky ones live upstairs.
It makes me sick. -I know what you mean, tough luck.
We were born down here, so we also have to live down here. Son of a bitch.
Today you can expect rain. Just like always.
Did you hear? Even the government doesn't dare to come here.
That's just an urban legend. -No, it's really true
I heard that a while ago already.
Are you serious? -Three days of rain.
Damn, three days.
Thanks. -Goodbye.
That's not enough Hayami, wait! -He'll pay the rest sometime.
He didn't even finish eating! -So what?
Damnit.
Mister Uraki, Kurose has been arrested.
Get over here as soon as possible.
Let him go. -No, stay here.
Daddy, daddy! -Kotomi, go home and wait for me.
Daddy is alright, go home. -Let go of him. Daddy.
Please, everything will be alright.
Kotomi. -Daddy.
The Sodoms arrested a rebel.
Kill him.
Stop it. No. Kotomi. Is everything alright? How is it going?
Come on, get up. -No, I want to stay with you.
Please go home, sweetie. -Daddy!
Daddy! Stay here! Daddy!
Kurose. Get away from here.
Go that way.
Come on, hurry up. Get a hold of yourself.
Hayami. -Yes.
Come on.. -That can't be possible...
It seems like a malfunction. -It seems?
I can't do anything with speculations. What about the Sodom-cameras?
There are some interventions. Possibly intentional.
Activate mediabullets.
Intervention cleared. It is an android with unknown parts.
What the hell is this?
Why that? No, don't do it. Wait a minute. Just a moment. No.
Wait.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks.
We were lucky. -Yes.
Hayami.
Kurose is alright, so is Kotomi.
Understood.
Changed? -Yes, changed.
From a Sodom into a woman. -Are you on pills?
No, I'm serious, that's how it went.
Where are they? -ln Complex B.
Hello? Mister Uraki? Mister Uraki.
Outside of the buildings: Keep masks on!
Mister Uraki. -ls that her?
The woman you've been looking for all this time? -l'm sure of it.
I finally found her. -So that's her.
Come on, follow me.
The mediabullets are offline. -And the Sodoms?
Active. They're searching the entire vicinity.
But they haven't found anything.
Why are you following me? -We're not, we're not. We just...
We aren't your enemy. We just want to talk.
That man you helped, his name is Kurose and he's our friend.
Why did you save him??
Stay away from me.
Damn it. -Don't worry about it
You just have to follow her and then you'll know who she is.
I get it.
Welcome back. Oh, you're totally soaked. -I'm home.
Hitomi, welcome back. -You know how bad the rain is for your body.
You have to take care of yourself. -I feel fine.
That's no good.
You'll always be your mother's little girl. -Hurry and come inside.
Is dinner ready honey? -Yes, yes, everything is on the table.
There is no time.
We have to lock down the vicinity and attack.
As you say, Lady Jiru.
Give it to me. -Let go!
I brought something special for the ground floor.
A brand new oxygenmask! You have to try this one.
Do you want this one?
Come on Hitomi, let's eat.
I'm coming. -Sit down. Thanks for the meal.
Thanks for the meal. -Fill your bowl.
You don't have to tell me!
Oh my, you've surpassed yourself again.
You always tell her that. -Yes
It's true. -How is it?
It's delicious. -And that's what you always tell her.
Well she asked, didn't she? -Yes, and you answered.
It's beyond dispute...
that you have to be grateful nowadays for all this food
Do you like it darling? -Of course!
The prices went up again. -Well it did rain a lot.
Why are you following me? -Well.. Wait, wait.
Answer me!
Is this a friend of yours, Hitomi?
Honey.
Hitomi finally made a friend. -What really!?
See. -Oh, and it's a good looking guy too.
Come on in. -Yes, come.
I would love to, right Hitomi? -Unfortunately he's very busy.
She would like to talk to him in private. -No, that's not it.
You should go inside before you get sick. Go inside!
Let's talk over there.
Wait for me!
You don't have to be so nervous. Look, I'm a journalist.
My name is Seiji Hayami.
Hayami? I've read your articles.
Why me? -I've been born on the ground floor.
I want to give hope to the people. -That's pointless.
That's not true, the people of the ground floor have to cherish hope
They are oppressed and have to endure poisonous rain.
They have nowhere to go.
These things are worthless.
Whatever you're planning, I don't want to be involved.
And stay away from me.
Sorry, but that's impossible.
I assume you don't remember me.
I found you when you fell down from above.
I thought you were an angel.
Your face and those symbols on your skin haven't changed in those 20 years.
When those men wanted to overpower me you saved me.
Like a real hero.
Ever since that day I've been looking for you.
Is that why you became a journalist? To find me?
Yes, but that's not the only reason.
I can access the upper floors' data without arousing suspicion.
Very handy! -Handy? What are you planning?
Our city is driven by artificial intelligence.
I want to destroy that.
It also controls the waste and ventilation system.
The residents upstairs aren't aware of the increased air pollution.
The toxic clouds down here are the result of their exobirtant lifestyle.
The residents of the ground floor get sick from the rain of those clouds.
I want to dissolve those clouds.
So, that's why you want to destroy the artificial intelligence!?
Do you want to help with that? -I can't.
Wait. Aren't we on the same side? Yesterday...
I'm sorry, but I'm not who you think I am.
Stay away from me.
Wait a minute.
Always wear an oxygenmask when outside.
Do you know Jiru? You're just like her, right? -Like what?
Not human, I mean. -A machine.
Yes, something like that. Is Jiru controlling the artificial intelligence?
Did she create you? -Leave me alone.
Please listen. We have to do something Hitomi-chan.
Don't call me that. -Just wait please.
A camera spotted the target The Sodoms are advancing.
Let's get away. -Please help my foster parents.
What? -Or else they'll be arrested.
Hurry up! -Okay, I got it.
Hello?
No matter where you hide, I will find you!
There you are again! -Hurry up!
Wait! -Hurry!
Where to? Wait! -Let's go!
Hurry up! -Wait!
Come this way! -Hurry!
I can't walk that fast, please wait!
This way, quick!
Hide behind that. -Okay.
Hey! What's going on!? -ls Hitomi... is she alright?
Hitomi is alright. -Thank God.
There. -Sodoms. They're already here.
Don't make a sound.
What the hell is this?
What are we going to do?
I'll distract them. Try to run away through that exit.
Understood, will you be fine honey?
Well, well. And where does she belong to? -Just leave her be.
You're cute, is this your first time here? Join us. -Keep playing.
Is there a back exit? If so, get away from here!
Get away! Hurry! Or else...
Wat the hell? Son of a bitch!
Get up. -Oh honey.
Just a moment. -Get down!
Get away.. right now!
Come on, let's go. Hurry!
This way! -I'll kill you.
Everyone get away!
Get away before they reactivate. And don't touch those weapons.
Understood.
Come on, let's go.
You.. everything is alright now.
Daddy.
Hitomi.
Hitomi. Hitomi.
Stay strong, Hitomi.
Hitomi.
I've given you two important things. First...
Where is that inferior creature?
Run, Hitomi. This way!
Yeah, so that's how it is. This is an aggregate of nano-microns.
It has a highly developed memory.
If its clothes or skin get destroyed it automatically regenerates.
And with every regeneration it gets upgraded.
Excuse me? Can I touch to feel the material...
So in short, it's quite lugubrious.
Take care of the right uniform for the intermediate floor.
So you finally woke up.
Where is Hayami?
Thanks to you he's not doing so good. What about the Kuroses?
We recovered their bodies from their shelter.
Are you okay?
It's worse than it looks, what about you?
Just as I expected.
Typical... you and your perked-up smile.
Yukiko is right. She suffered worse than any of us.
Hey.
Where are my foster parents?
I'm sorry.
Oh no...
People always die, unlike androids... Damn it!
It hurts!
It seems they have accomplices.
I told you to not let her get away, right?
Lady Jiru!
Time is running out.
Safety before anything.
Thanks.
So about your foster parents? -My aunt and uncle...
They knew I was an android, yes.
But they always treated me like their real daughter.
If I didn't know what to do, they were always there for me.
Sorry.
It's my own fault.
I should've distanced myself from them.
Did you tell her yet? -Not yet.
The day after tomorrow there will be a big event on the upper floors.
According to our intel, this will create more harmful substances than ever.
Pollution level: Danger!
If we don't stop the AI...
a lot of residents of the ground floor won't make it out alive.
We don't have much time left. Do you know how we can stop the AI?
So, in the end, you're just a machine.
We could've saved ourselves the trouble.
Wait a minute!
My father, professor Kisaragi, did research...
on how the artificial intelligence controls the city.
That's the reason he created me.
What? -What do you mean?
He placed a condenser for atmospheric elements inside of me...
which semi-permanently generates energy.
Thanks to that ingenious invention I'm able to convert matter.
What are you doing on the ground floor if you're so important?
Back when Jiru seized power...
the professor gave me freedom.
What did he want to achieve with that? -Just wait a minute.
So what exactly is Jiru?
A new type of android.
Because of my emotions I'm not suited to watch over humanity.
So Jiru was created to operate without emotions.
She is completely rational. Jiru considers humans simply as building blocks.
So where is the professor?
This is insane. We have to destroy the AI somehow.
Yes, why don't you help us?
Forget it. Your plan is simply wishful thinking.
I'll just do it my way. -Wait, Uraki.
Your plan is just like an act of terrorism!
You're forgetting that peace can't be created without victims!
You're talking just like the people from above.
We've been planning for two years.
A lot of people have already been arrested, killed or succumbed to illness.
We can't keep watching!
There is another way.
She's not interested, so she's not helping.
Just a moment..
So what is he planning to do?
He wants to blow up the building that contains the AI.
If he does that, there will be a lot of innocent victims.
I don't want to be a part of that. And I won't allow it.
With your help, we can solve the problem in another way.
Pollution level: Danger!
I finally found you.
Now it won't be much longer.
An attack on the server, you're being hacked.
Koshiro Kisaragi searching..
No results.
You should stay away from me.
If I wasn't there, my foster parents would still be alive.
It's all my fault.
Everyone I know just suddenly dies.
It has always been like that.
Well, that's not entirely true.
I mean, we know each other and I'm very much alive.
You seem to be the exception.
What's the point of being constantly on the run?
That's what the professor wanted.
Really?
So where do you have to go when all residents of the ground floor are dead?
Hitomi-chan? -Stop it.
Don't call me that!
I'm pretty sure the professor would tell you now:
"You should help those people, Hitomi." -What do you even know!?
Professor Kisaragi was my father. I knew him better than anyone.
Yes, I knew him best!
I'm not so sure about that. -What do you mean?
You have emotions just like the rest of us.
You don't have to pretend like you're a machine.
You don't have to follow orders. Your emotions...
Why should I listen to someone who is always slyly smiling?
I see. What I say probably sounds unfair.
Why are you always smiling?
When you're sad, you should smile. That's how I've been raised.
Not only that, everyone looks so unhappy. I don't want to look like that.
That sounded cool, huh?
You really are weird. -I saw a smile there!
No, you didn't! -I saw it with my own eyes.
No, you really didn't -Yes, I did.
You're pretty cute when you're smiling. -Leave me alone!
Sorry. -Look!
He's still alive, professor Kisaragi. I looked it up, he's not dead.
What?
I hacked into the civil registry.
He lives on the top floor of the tower, he has to be there
We have the same goal, Let's go together.
Was it really necessary to dress up like this?
Of course.
If only you had bigger assets to show off. -Excuse me?!
No, nevermind. -Everyone is staring at me.
Good, that means it's working. Stick to the plan
Here we go.
Uraki? Can you hear me?
Yes. We're disabling the power and then we'll head for the basement.
Good, give me a heads up before you go.
Hayami, the toxic substances will be released at 3 o'clock.
If you haven't disabled the AI by then...
I'll blow up the tower, understood? -Yes, I get it.
I don't think you'll have to blow it up, Uraki. -I doubt that.
Infect the server with a virus? -Yes, to prevent the release of the toxins.
While I was searching for the professor...
I also found the blueprints of the tower.
The server is at the top of the building, behind the vent.
The power for the security system comes from the intermediate floor.
Uraki's team is waiting there.
As soon as I pass the vent, the team will disable the power.
And I have to occupy Jiru until then? -Exactly!
That seems rather farfetched. If it doesn't succeed...
We'll succeed for sure, don't worry.
What are you doing, man? Wake up, man!
Oh no, that's really unbelievable.
I'm going in -Hey there, cutie. Hold up.
You want to be in the show?
Yeah.
Access granted.
It's showtime.
Let's show those guys downstairs how to party!
Well, what do you say? Yeah!
Showtime. Let's do this!
Hey, come on!
Access Denied.
Hisashi Yamazaki, journalist.
Sorry about that.
Where is he then? -Come with us.
Just a moment. -It won't take long.
Let go of me, it hurts. -What were you doing upstairs?
Upstairs? I've been here the whole time!
Uraki.
Yeah, hey, hey, hey, come on!
How long still?
I'm almost there, just wait a bit.
Ouch!
What are you doing? -You'll know soon enough, Kimura.
Now all Sodoms have been alerted.
What are you doing? What is the meaning of this?
Let's go! -Excuse me? Well, whatever.
Just a second.
Are you guys ready? -Yes.
Then we can start.
It's my turn now.
Go for it. Show us what you can do.
Give it up for our sexy girls! Here we go!
Rei. There she is. Yes, there she is.
That's right, that's my girl. Oh yeah
Mysterious Honey.
There she is.
Give it up! That's right, there she is!
Come on, let me hear you
The target has been found inside the party hall.
Yes, that's her.
Send the Sodoms to the party. -Understood, Lady Jiru.
Are you going there too? -No, not yet.
Oh my God!
Hayami? -Yes, what's up?
The Sodoms have found us. I have to blow up the tower now.
What? You can't. I haven't reached the server yet.
And more importantly: Hitomi is still at the party!
I can't wait any longer. This takes precedence.
Just wait, our plan...
Ready?
I'm sorry, Hayami.
Awesome, awesome, Fantas...
An explosion at the powerplant.
Understood. Raise the alarm phase!
This is bad, really bad.
Did you make it?
Give me a break please, Uraki.
I would if I could. How is it looking? Did you reach the server?
I'm almost there.
The walls are blocking all outside signals.
But I will stop those damn clouds. -Don't forget, you have until 3 o'clock.
Please stay calm, people. It's okay, it's okay.
Damn it.
Please stay calm, it's okay. Stay calm!
There's no need to panic.
How is everything on your side? Hello?
Hayami? Can you hear me?
What's the matter?
What's going on?
Hayami.
What's going on? Answer me!
Hayami.
Everything's okay, nothing happened.
Jeez. You scared me.
I'm sorry.
You should hurry.
No, I'm a good guy.
Ouch!
The communication cable in the vent has been cut.
In the vent?!
The target is now walking towards... -As expected.
Shit!
Synchronizing - Connect.
Killing...
You have to be more careful.
Hitomi! You made it. -Calm down.
Thanks. -There's no more time, right?
I'll try to prevent it from here.
You'll have to take care of Jiru. -Understood.
Be careful.
You too, Hitomi.
Time's up!
Oh no! Uraki, there are kids down there.
How is that possible? -Didn't they lock down the area?
Don't blow it up yet. I'll take care of it for sure, trust me.
Shit...
Uraki!
We have to get away. -What happened?
-Let's go.
We're counting on you.
Are you alright?
Alert!
What is that?
Alert!
Damn it.
This can't be happening. What's going on?
Oh no, the gas. -Come on, upstairs!
Go up, go! -Yes.
Where is the professor? -Does it matter?
You can't do anything anyway.
He's here.
Everyone you've ever known I'll get rid of. Without exception.
I'll take them out like trash.
What a pretty face!
I'll take your element condenser and destroy it.
This way! -Yes.
This can't be happening!
This thing of yours can be used for a lot more than you can think of.
Aren't I right, professor Kisaragi?
I assume you'll want to speak to him one last time before you die!?
This is the only thing that's left of him. -Father...
As you can see, his genius brain is still watching over the city.
Why!? -It's because you ran away!
I could prevent his death and prolong his life this way.
Unfortunately, this was time-limited solution. He is dying.
And that's why I have to reboot him using that device of yours.
You'll become one. Doesn't that make you happy?
It makes you happy, right!?
Oh sweetie, it's time to say goodbye, Cutie Honey.
There they are!
Amazing...
Hitomi-chan!
Are you alright?
The clouds.
I couldn't connect down there. It should be fine here.
Damn it, it just won't work.
The exhaust isn't closing. -You said it was a piece of cake!
The controlpanel refuses to work.
I can't do it.
This is the last one.
They're getting closer!
That's weird. A cloud of that size would destroy the entire city.
How interesting.
This thing and you are fused together. -Hitomi!
You're in the way!
Hayami!
Well?
It's a dead end. Sit down!
Damn it.
Hayami!
Wait!
Just go. -What are you thinking!? Don't try to be a hero.
Just go! For the top floors you have to go that way.
There's another way...
It's already too late for that!
We'll just keep going.
You idiots...
A fusion of nanomachines...
So, you are the device that I need so badly.
Get off of him! -Very impressive, professor Kisaragi.
Get off of him!
But you won't survive -Jiru.
You can't defeat me, because you're incomplete.
You're wrong.
Because I'm incomplete, I can regenerate.
Because I'm incomplete, I never give up.
Because I have defects, I resist.
Because I have defects, I will beat you.
They're broken. -They're falling down.
There's one coming now.
Did she do it? It's working.
You did in fact beat me, but the world will not change.
It never has. -That will change now.
You have no idea how strong humanity is.
Hayami!
Hayami?
Hayami!
That hurts, Hitomi-chan. -Sorry.
That's alright.
Father!
It's good to see you again, Hitomi.
Hitomi-chan.
Please father, you have to stop those clouds or else a lot of people will die.
That's something I can't do.
Stop the poisonous clouds by destroying the AI?
That's a figment of your imagination.
A trick of Jiru to lure you here.
That can't be..
Papa. -Yes?
What is that? -What are you talking about?
Kotomi!
The city is being threatened by non biodegradable chemicals.
Look over there! Let's run, run! That way, hurry. It's dangerous.
And it will be, forever.
That is the result of Jiru's madness.
Bullshit, you created the city professor!
There must be something we can do! -There is just one way. And I know how.
Right?
All these years that I've protected you...
Father.
But I've never really been a good father.
Even so, you'll always be my daughter. You've grown up, Hitomi.
Do what you think is best.
Hitomi-chan. What do we do now? You said you know another way?
You're not thinking...
Hitomi-chan.
Damn it.
Careful, are you alright?
Come on, keep walking.
Oh no, here too?
Let's go that way. -Alright.
What is the meaning of this?
Alert!
Hurry, this way!
Come on!
Put on your mask and run, quick!
Stop it!
Hitomi-chan..
Uraki, we have to keep walking!
Can it be...?
Yes, that's her.
Come back! Or else you'll also...
Please, don't continue. Listen!
Don't make that face.
Just smile, like you always do.
Please...
Thank you.
Hitomi!!
Ever since that day, I've been looking for you.
You have to run.
You saved me, like a real superhero.
Hitomi finally made a friend! -Really!?
Thank you.
The world won't change. -You have emotions.
I gave you two important things.
Just like every other human.
Isn't it beautiful, daddy?
The sun is shining again!
Thank you...
