If I did, 06:47.140 --> 06:50.480 my anger would solely be directed at myself. 06:50.480 --> 06:55.320 In that murder case, I wasn't even able to get close to finding the mastermind 06:55.320 --> 06:58.090 who was pulling the strings behind Kouzaburou Touma. 06:58.090 --> 07:02.050 Do you think that the same guy is involved in this case? 07:03.290 --> 07:05.490 I don't know yet. 07:05.490 --> 07:09.000 It's still possible that this is just an elaborate copycat crime. 07:09.000 --> 07:11.990 But there's no mistake that it's worth looking into. 07:14.000 --> 07:17.240 You've been taken off this case. 07:17.240 --> 07:19.640 That's okay. 07:19.640 --> 07:21.510 I don't wanna cause Gino too much trouble. 07:21.510 --> 07:22.680 What? 07:22.680 --> 07:25.010 I'm saying, there's a way of going about things. 07:25.010 --> 07:30.520 We can find a good pretext to create a situation where they'd need us back. 07:30.520 --> 07:32.520 Is there such a way? 07:32.520 --> 07:35.010 There is. Just wait and see. 07:38.860 --> 07:42.870 What kind of person was Enforcer Sasayama? 07:42.870 --> 07:44.600 He was a piece of work. 07:44.600 --> 07:46.000 Huh? 07:46.000 --> 07:48.300 He was a womanizer. 07:48.300 --> 07:50.270 Who knows how often Karanomori and Kunizuka 07:50.270 --> 07:52.510 had their butts grabbed by him... 07:52.510 --> 07:58.050 Even though he got slugged every time, he never seemed to learn his lesson. 07:58.050 --> 08:00.050 Also, he had a short temper. 08:00.050 --> 08:03.850 Once he got upset, there was nothing anyone could do. 08:03.850 --> 08:07.720 One day, he went to the house of a guy who got flagged by a Hue check. 08:07.720 --> 08:11.890 When he stepped inside, this guy was on top of a woman he had kidnapped. 08:11.890 --> 08:15.830 Sasayama almost killed this guy. 08:15.830 --> 08:19.400 Since I was an Inspector at the time, I stopped him, 08:19.400 --> 08:22.740 but deep down, I thought that he was an amusing guy... 08:22.740 --> 08:27.970 That womanizing, violent bastard was truly an amusing guy. 08:29.310 --> 08:34.220 At the very least, I never expected he'd die that way. 08:34.220 --> 08:36.210 Did you see the picture of his body? 08:37.250 --> 08:38.720 Yes. 08:38.720 --> 08:42.520 His body was placed underneath a Holographic illumination. 08:42.520 --> 08:43.530 Yes... 08:43.530 --> 08:45.830 Do you know what kind of illumination it was? 08:45.830 --> 08:47.930 No, I don't. 08:47.930 --> 08:50.500 It was an ad by a pharmaceutical company. 08:50.500 --> 08:54.490 "Safe stress care. Taking you to a world without suffering." 08:55.840 --> 08:58.670 Analysis showed that before Sasayama was turned into a specimen, 08:58.670 --> 09:03.380 he was dismembered while he was still alive. 09:03.380 --> 09:07.020 It was like the culprit was sending a message... 09:07.020 --> 09:10.020 "Life is nothing but suffering." 09:10.020 --> 09:14.260 I wanted the guy who did that to Sasayama to meet the same end... 09:14.260 --> 09:17.630 Once I started feeling that way, 09:17.630 --> 09:21.360 my career as an Inspector was over. 09:21.360 --> 09:23.130 Do you have any regrets? 09:23.130 --> 09:25.600 I don't regret my actions. 09:25.600 --> 09:29.070 But the thing is... the case is still unsolved. 09:29.070 --> 09:30.940 That's the only problem. 09:30.940 --> 09:36.140 The accomplice who helped Kouzaburou Touma three years ago... 09:36.140 --> 09:39.050 Are there any leads that we can still use? 09:39.050 --> 09:40.450 Yeah. 09:43.920 --> 09:46.560 There's a picture that Sasayama took... 09:46.560 --> 09:48.420 ...though it's pretty blurry. 09:49.490 --> 09:52.950 It was saved on the terminal that Sasayama used. 09:56.500 --> 10:00.340 This man... Did you find out what his name is? 10:00.340 --> 10:05.300 The picture's filename was..."Makishima." 10:06.580 --> 10:09.340 The body was Satsuki Kuzuhara's. 10:09.340 --> 10:10.970 Yeah, I heard. 10:12.180 --> 10:14.980 Yoshika has been absent from school since yesterday. 10:14.980 --> 10:17.020 Yeah, I heard. 10:17.020 --> 10:19.790 Hey, listen to me seriously. 10:19.790 --> 10:21.590 I am listening. 10:21.590 --> 10:23.190 It's not just Okubo. 10:23.190 --> 10:26.700 I heard that Masami Yamaguchi in Class B has been absent, too. 10:26.700 --> 10:30.770 Something bad is probably going on in this academy. 10:30.770 --> 10:31.870 So? 10:31.870 --> 10:33.300 "So"? 10:34.540 --> 10:37.370 I wouldn't get near something bad from the start. 10:37.370 --> 10:39.540 I wouldn't gossip, either. 10:39.540 --> 10:41.280 What're you saying? 10:41.280 --> 10:44.940 I feel like a careless action could really put us in serious danger. 10:46.380 --> 10:50.880 We've been friends with Yoshika since we were kids, you know. 10:54.720 --> 10:56.290 Rikako Ouryou. 10:56.290 --> 10:57.990 What? 10:57.990 --> 11:01.030 Okubo was really crazy about her, right? 11:01.030 --> 11:05.000 Rikako seemed to show some interest in her as well. 11:05.000 --> 11:07.490 If you ask her, she might know something. 11:08.640 --> 11:10.040 Yeah... 11:14.640 --> 11:18.250 There's this quote from Kierkegaard that my father liked. 11:18.250 --> 11:21.350 "Because man is superior to animals, 11:21.350 --> 11:25.650 in other words, because man is the self, and spirit, 11:25.650 --> 11:28.380 man can be in despair." 11:29.890 --> 11:33.060 Unless you know despair, you cannot know hope. 11:33.060 --> 11:36.260 My father used dismembered bodies as the subject of many of his drawings. 11:36.260 --> 11:39.500 That's because they symbolize the contradictory nature of the self. 11:41.000 --> 11:44.010 I had great respect for my father. 11:44.010 --> 11:46.380 He was aware of his obligation as an artist 11:46.380 --> 11:50.450 and continued to focus intently on using his creations to enlighten people. 11:50.450 --> 11:55.580 I think even now that he was indeed a great artist. 11:55.580 --> 11:57.250 Especially because of that, 11:57.250 --> 12:02.890 I really can't forgive him for abandoning that duty halfway through. 12:02.890 --> 12:06.630 Yesterday, my father passed away. 12:06.630 --> 12:09.730 He's been as good as dead for a while, 12:09.730 --> 12:12.790 but finally even his heart gave in. 12:13.940 --> 12:15.770 But I'm okay. 12:15.770 --> 12:17.910 I'm not sad. 12:17.910 --> 12:23.150 I, his daughter, will carry out my father's duty together with you guys. 12:23.150 --> 12:26.710 Don't you think that's wonderful? It's exciting... 12:27.820 --> 12:29.250 ...right, Yoshika? 12:32.150 --> 12:35.420 Eustress deficiency cerebral infarction. 12:35.420 --> 12:38.560 Well, that's not the illness's official name. 12:38.560 --> 12:43.430 It is said to be the real cause of most deaths that are declared as 12:43.430 --> 12:47.400 "heart failure from unknown cause." 12:47.400 --> 12:53.010 I've heard of it. They say that it's a side effect of excessive stress care. 12:53.010 --> 12:58.010 For some time, it's been understood that moderate stress has beneficial effects. 12:58.010 --> 13:01.120 For example, it stimulates the immune system. 13:01.120 --> 13:04.190 As they say, it's a motivation in your life. 13:04.190 --> 13:07.260 You can even call it a reason for living. 13:07.260 --> 13:12.030 However, once Psycho-Pass checks became routine, 13:12.030 --> 13:14.630 people's sense of stress has been numbed so much that 13:14.630 --> 13:19.170 patients who can't even recognize stimulation itself started appearing. 13:19.170 --> 13:22.770 Once that happens, they're the same as living corpses. 13:22.770 --> 13:26.780 Soon their autonomic nervous system stops functioning on its own 13:26.780 --> 13:29.480 and their vital functions shut down. 13:29.480 --> 13:32.550 That's very sad. 13:32.550 --> 13:35.050 So humans now care for themselves to the point that 13:35.050 --> 13:40.160 they've actually regressed as a living being, huh? 13:40.160 --> 13:41.560 The fact of the matter is, 13:41.560 --> 13:45.030 as much as our medical system has advanced, 13:45.030 --> 13:50.170 statistically, the average lifespan is actually decreasing. 13:50.170 --> 13:53.670 Well, this data will probably never be made public, though. 13:53.670 --> 13:55.400 That's not surprising. 13:55.400 --> 14:00.580 In this era, everything that could be called a reason for living has died out. 14:00.580 --> 14:05.150 No one tries to talk seriously about what life should be like anymore. 14:05.150 --> 14:08.220 The father of Rikako Ouryou, the girl I mentioned earlier, 14:08.220 --> 14:11.520 had eustress deficiency as well. 14:15.690 --> 14:18.160 Rouichi Ouryou... 14:18.160 --> 14:21.430 At some point, he was a predominant illustrator. 14:21.430 --> 14:23.500 Haven't you heard of him? 14:23.500 --> 14:27.900 Unfortunately, I don't have much knowledge of the art world. 14:27.900 --> 14:34.110 He was a genius in drawing cruel, vivid nightmares using girls' bodies as motifs. 14:34.110 --> 14:38.550 However, he himself was a man of quite strict morality. 14:38.550 --> 14:43.080 Well, it's not uncommon for there to be a disconnect between the creator and 14:43.080 --> 14:45.890 the impression their creations give. 14:45.890 --> 14:50.890 But in Rouichi's case, there was a firm ideology there. 14:50.890 --> 14:52.290 According to him, 14:52.290 --> 14:54.460 by becoming firmly aware of the cruelty 14:54.460 --> 14:57.970 that's hiding in the dark depths of the human heart, humans can foster 14:57.970 --> 15:00.700 the common sense, ability to reason, and goodwill 15:00.700 --> 15:03.810 that can control that cruelty. 15:03.810 --> 15:10.110 He defined his creation activities as enlightening people about that. 15:10.110 --> 15:13.920 From what you say, he sounds like quite the saint. 15:13.920 --> 15:17.220 However, the spread of Psycho-Pass assessments 15:17.220 --> 15:20.960 ended this role that he had decided for himself. 15:20.960 --> 15:23.560 People don't have to control themselves anymore. Instead, 15:23.560 --> 15:28.330 they can now maintain their mental health through machine assessments. 15:28.330 --> 15:33.470 I heard... that Rouichi welcomed this technology. 15:33.470 --> 15:35.140 Whatever the means was, 15:35.140 --> 15:40.940 his ideal of humans having a healthy and sound mind has been realized. 15:40.940 --> 15:50.090 As a result, though, his mission had ended and his life lost its meaning. 15:50.090 --> 15:51.690 I'm surprised. 15:51.690 --> 15:56.020 I thought all artists were the same, concerned only with fame and wealth. 15:56.020 --> 15:59.260 Well, he too probably had inner conflicts. 15:59.260 --> 16:00.960 But in order to solve them, 16:00.960 --> 16:05.200 he used all sorts of state-of-the-art stress care methods. 16:05.200 --> 16:08.940 His daughter Rikako tells me that he was so dependent on them 16:08.940 --> 16:11.110 that you could call it an addiction. 16:11.110 --> 16:12.370 As a result, 16:12.370 --> 16:17.150 he became a living corpse who couldn't even sit up on the bed, huh? 16:17.150 --> 16:20.180 Since she loved her father so much, 16:20.180 --> 16:22.720 I bet she felt it was unforgivable. 16:22.720 --> 16:26.290 It's as if Rouichi Ouryou was killed twice. 16:26.290 --> 16:29.790 First his talent was killed by science and technology. 16:29.790 --> 16:33.660 And then, his soul was killed by society. 16:33.660 --> 16:39.170 In short, you mean this girl is committing crimes to get revenge for her father? 16:39.170 --> 16:41.700 Well, I don't know. 16:41.700 --> 16:46.830 I hope she finds some meaning beyond revenge, though. 16:48.010 --> 16:49.480 Choe Gu-Sung? 17:20.380 --> 17:22.380 That was quick. 17:22.380 --> 17:25.450 In any case, I wonder how 17:25.450 --> 17:29.620 Mr. Makishima knew that there was a place like this inside the academy. 17:29.620 --> 17:33.290 It seems that this used to be a generator room for a boiler for recyclables, 17:33.290 --> 17:37.260 but when it was closed for renovations, it also disappeared from the blueprints. 17:37.260 --> 17:38.960 How slipshod, huh? 17:38.960 --> 17:41.560 So where's the chemical? 17:41.560 --> 17:43.550 It's over there. 17:44.300 --> 17:47.900 Deliveries aren't usually my thing, 17:47.900 --> 17:50.940 but the payment this time is quite generous. 17:50.940 --> 17:54.040 In addition, I get to help out such a cute young lady like yourself. 17:54.040 --> 17:57.530 So, I hardly have reason to complain. 17:59.950 --> 18:03.920 Where does Mr. Makishima get a mysterious thing like this? 18:03.920 --> 18:08.720 He did say that they're leftover stockpiles from past festivities. 18:08.720 --> 18:12.990 I don't know who made it. I don't even wanna know. 18:12.990 --> 18:15.230 The person must've thought 18:15.230 --> 18:17.900 that entertaining Mr. Makishima would be a lot more worthwhile 18:17.900 --> 18:22.840 than getting a patent for this weird chemical or selling it. 18:22.840 --> 18:27.480 I guess geniuses who use their talents for the wrong purposes 18:27.480 --> 18:29.840 always gather around him. 18:31.350 --> 18:35.180 And you're one of them, right, Choe Gu-Sung? 18:35.180 --> 18:37.350 I don't know what it is... 18:37.350 --> 18:41.660 ...but when I'm with him, it's like I'm reliving my childhood or something. 18:41.660 --> 18:45.330 What mischief should we get up to in order to surprise society? 18:45.330 --> 18:48.160 My head is filled with those thoughts. 18:48.160 --> 18:51.030 I know the feeling. 18:55.370 --> 18:57.810 You guys prepare toys, 18:57.810 --> 19:02.810 and we, mischievous children, use those toys to shake up society. 19:02.810 --> 19:05.950 It really is fun, isn't it? 19:05.950 --> 19:08.150 Well, for us, the toy dealers, 19:08.150 --> 19:13.120 just enjoying what you brats do is good enough. 19:13.120 --> 19:19.230 Yeah. They might be discovering my second mischief right about now. 19:19.230 --> 19:21.630 You should pay attention to the news. 19:21.630 --> 19:23.560 Will do. 19:28.740 --> 19:35.140 You always leave before the really fun stuff begins. It's a shame you miss it. 19:35.140 --> 19:39.340 Unfortunately, I don't do too well around blood and stuff, so... 19:48.020 --> 19:50.230 A second one... 19:50.230 --> 19:55.030 If this is really Kouzaburou Touma's doing, this is the sixth one. 19:57.370 --> 20:02.330 So, what is it that you wanted to ask me, Kagami Kawarazaki? 20:03.910 --> 20:06.370 Yoshika... 20:06.370 --> 20:08.610 It's about Okubo. 20:08.610 --> 20:12.880 She's been absent from school for three days in a row, so... uhm... 20:14.520 --> 20:19.120 So you're worried. You care about your friends. 20:19.120 --> 20:22.250 We've been friends since childhood. 20:24.730 --> 20:26.130 This is... 20:27.560 --> 20:31.470 Friendship between girls is wonderful, isn't it? 20:31.470 --> 20:35.870 It might be able to become a very exciting motif. 20:35.870 --> 20:37.110 Uhm... 20:37.110 --> 20:42.410 It might also be a good addition to my exhibition of Yoshika, don't you think? 20:56.490 --> 20:59.830 A touching reunion with your childhood friend... 20:59.830 --> 21:05.270 It's an emotionally stirring scene, isn't it? It really makes me cry. 21:07.340 --> 21:12.910 I want to reenact this moving scene in a place where more and more people can see it. 21:12.910 --> 21:19.140 Having such thoughts may indeed be the fate of an artist. 21:36.330 --> 21:47.010 Looks like the fairy tale died a moment ago 21:47.010 --> 21:55.940 In a hospital ward made of bricks, I found it hard to sing 21:57.650 --> 22:08.330 Red moon, come out on this foggy night 22:08.330 --> 22:17.670 Now look at me, don't avert your gaze 22:19.670 --> 22:25.010 I was born behind black iron bars 22:25.010 --> 22:27.320 Wish for payback for the evil done 22:27.320 --> 22:33.020 As you wish, I'll give you your justice 22:33.020 --> 22:35.720 Before you destroy and get destroyed 22:35.720 --> 22:39.330 Pay karma's price, and let's go together 22:39.330 --> 22:46.100 Monster without a name 22:46.670 --> 22:50.680 A world where humans' state of mind and the tendency of their personalities can be quantified.
