Is it that easy to adjust the Uka-no-Mitama virus?
The process itself should be pretty much automated,
so as long as the equipment still works, yes.
They chose Uka-no-Mitama precisely because of how easy it is to update.
To think that a good virus ends up becoming a real disease...
We thought it was an iron wall that protected our food self-sufficiency,
but it turned out to be a double-edged sword.
Go.
"Jesus told them another parable:
'The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came
and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.'"
I would like to show
Cut open my skull
Look into my head
I don't know why I'm so harsh
I could be so brash
I'm going to clash
'Cause I feel
I can always show my everything to you
If this moment was for me
I try to hear
Lend my ear
Voices inside
One link to join it all again
'Cause I feel
I can always show my everything to you
If this moment was for me
I try to hear
Lend my ear
Voices inside
One link to join it all
So it goes again
#21 Blood-Stained Reward
The security is still active...
Where can I find another way in?
Well, well...
Dammit! What a huge place...
It's a factory that centrally manages the defense virus
in order to distribute it to the entire Hokuriku area, so...
To think that such a large-scale facility
can continue to operate in a fully automated manner...
The bigger the prey, the easier it is to target.
Especially when you're using a poisoned needle that could kill a whale...
This sort of tactic is just like Makishima.
It's probably from Mr. Kogami.
He probably saw us land. He's nearby.
Tsunemori speaking.
I didn't expect you to get here so soon.
Don't underestimate the MWPSB.
You're not the only one who can drive Makishima into a corner.
He's already inside the facility.
Using the equipment Kudama left in the lab,
he must be already adjusting the Uka-no-Mitama virus by now.
Or he might even be done.
We're not going to let him have his way.
Then we've gotta be quick.
Before he distributes the Uka-no-Mitama that he tampered with,
we have to shut down the entire facility.
Using the authority of the MWPSB,
you should be able to cut off the power to this facility, right?
If we do that, it will shut down not only the center's functions,
but the security system as well.
That's what you want, isn't it?
You're trying to use us to lift the security
so that you can beat us to Makishima and kill him, aren't you?
We'll never allow you to do that.
Makishima is trying to destroy this country.
The MWPSB has only one choice right now.
Stop the power.
Then this country will be saved.
I will save you, too.
I will not make Shinya Kogami a murderer.
Then, I guess the early bird gets the worm.
Can't we have the authority for just the security system transferred to us
from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry?
The process will take time.
Makishima might put us in check while we're working on it.
We have no other choice but to stop the facility itself, like Kogami said.
Kunizuka?
I've already disabled the command to switch to the secondary power supply.
All we have to do now is to stop the power from the power plant.
There's something I'd like to ask you.
When you encounter Mr. Kogami,
if his Crime Coefficient is over 300 and the Eliminator is activated,
please refrain from shooting him and call me in.
What's the point of calling you in?
I've got a trump card I can use against Mr. Kogami.
Don't worry. Please leave it to me.
Now we'll go after Makishima. You'll help us, right?
Of course.
Then... lock this gun in Paralyzer mode with the safety unlocked.
You can do it, right?
The Dominator decides its enforcement mode
based on the measured Crime Coefficients.
This is the basis for the system that maintains the current public safety
and is inviolable.
In order to fight Makishima, we need suitably strong weapons.
We do have to protect ourselves, too.
If we can't use the Dominators, we have no choice
but to depend on more primitive weapons.
In the worst case, we may end up killing Makishima with those weapons.
If that happens, that would be because you lack resourcefulness.
Our abilities are limited and the likelihood
that we will capture Makishima alive without problems falls short of 100%.
If you guys grant an exception here, that likelihood can be improved a little.
Think what the best decision is.
You're good at calculating risk and reward, right?
From now until Shogo Makishima is captured,
we will grant an exception on the applicable terminal device.
The safety will always stay unlocked.
Mode is Non-Lethal Paralyzer.
However, please pay close attention to how you use it
so that the other detectives will not find out.
I know.
Say, Missy.
You've been acting strange since the Chief called you in.
I don't know what happened,
but isn't the burden too much for you to carry alone?
Are you worried?
Yeah, you're acting the same as Kogami did.
I don't wanna see any more Inspectors meet their end
because they pushed too hard.
Then would you like to check my Crime Coefficient?
Hey, hey...
It's okay. Please point the Dominator at me.
I'll delete the record using my authority as an Inspector.
Crime Coefficient is 24.
An Inspector registered at the Criminal Investigation Department.
See? Right now, I'm someone the System wants.
Yeah...
Well then, Miss Kunizuka, please do it.
Okay. I'll cut off the power to the entire facility.
Not bad, MWPSB...
Here goes!
In any case, Makishima's bio-terrorism has now completely failed.
If he's levelheaded, wouldn't he start thinking about fleeing right away?
I'm not so sure about that.
It's true that Makishima's actions have been carefully carried out,
but I don't think that necessarily means everything is a calculation to him.
Are you saying that he'll still stick to his plan even now?
If there is a way... The emergency power supply...
Right now,
we're just blocking the emergency power from the outside, right?
Right.
Then it can be manually rebooted via the control board inside the facility.
That's his only chance for getting the power back.
The central control room... Should we cast a net around it?
Wait.
There's still a good chance that he'd run without fighting.
We don't have time to make a side trip.
Let's split in two.
I'll go to the control room.
Mr. Ginoza, please check the university's lab.
I'll go with Inspector Tsunemori.
If we work with Shion at Headquarters via the main security console,
we might at least be able to control this facility's security cameras.
Then, we'll be in charge of chasing him, huh?
Come on, don't make that face. Guys should take on the rough stuff.
Dammit!
Did something happen at the Ministry of Welfare?
Does it seem that way?
You're being the most constructive of everyone right now,
and yet you look the most depressed of all of us.
Stopping here wouldn't resolve anything.
I just have to move forward.
No matter how small it may be, there's still hope.
As long as I don't give up on it,
I can continue to be a detective until the end.
When you joined us as a new Inspector,
at first I thought you were a naive little girl
and that you couldn't possibly be fit for the job.
Yeah, I might've been like that.
But my impression back then was completely wrong.
I'm sure of that now.
I can entrust my life to you, Miss Tsunemori.
You overestimate my abilities.
Clear.
Did we make it... in time?
But is Makishima really going to be here?
That's right... It's strange that there's no one here.
What?
He would foresee Makishima's actions more accurately than me.
If this was the correct answer,
I'd expect Mr. Kogami to have made it here before us.
Why?
I feel like I'm overlooking something.
I have to check something with you.
What's bothering you at a time like this?
You helped Kogami escape, didn't you?
Would you try not to be hard on an old man?
You think that by Kogami taking the crime upon himself,
evil will be defeated as a result.
That's the savage, selfish justice of an old-fashioned hunting dog like yourself.
Am I wrong?
Kogami really is the one you rely on.
You don't expect anything from me.
You think that there's no chance I can capture Makishima, don't you?
Kogami is a latent criminal and Enforcer. He and I are two of a kind.
But you're still taking a different path than we are.
I think that's for the best from the bottom of my heart.
How could you make a justification like that?
A culprit runs and detectives go after him...
That's our assumption.
Inspector?
But Makishima looks at things differently.
He understands how much of a bind we're in better than we do.
Mr. Ginoza and Mr. Masaoka are in danger!
Please wait! It's dangerous to go by yourself!
You stay here. If Makishima comes,
don't let him touch the emergency power supply at any cost!
If push comes to shove, you can even destroy the whole console!
Mr. Ginoza! Inspector Ginoza?!
Wait!
Nobuchika!
Dammit!
Hold on!
Behind you!
You bastard!
Are you trying to blow yourself up and take me with you?
You think I'd do a stupid thing like that?
Don't let that man go at any cost, Enforcer!
You are a detective! Fulfill your duty!
Pops!
Y... You idiot!
Why did you let the culprit get away?!
Why?!
You're a detective, aren't you?!
There's nothing good about being a detective.
You are my son after all.
Your eyes... look just the same as mine...
...when I was young.
Dad...
Dad!
Why?! Why?!
It's too late!
So you finally ditched that fake justice
and now you've got some real bloodlust, huh?
You are everything I hoped you would be after all.
Really?
I have no hopes for you at all, though.
Don't be so indifferent after coming this far.
Don't be so arrogant. You're not a special person or anything.
You're just trash that's been ignored by society all this time.
You feel bitter for having been rejected and left out of the community, don't you?
You just couldn't bear solitude, that's all.
You're no different from a kid whining about not wanting to be left out.
You sure say some funny things.
Solitude? Does that apply only to me?
Who isn't alone in this society?
The time when our connection to others was the basis of our selves is long gone.
In this world where everyone is watched over by the system
and live within the system's standards, a community isn't necessary.
Everyone just lives in their own little cell,
and the system tames them by giving them each their own personal serenity.
There's no way that I could love someone
But I want someone to love me
Even if yesterday could continue unchanging into forever
You and I would never get anywhere
God... where did you go?
I don't hear any response, but that's how it always is
Are you still here?
You'll never walk alone
I'll go with you
No matter the sin, I'll bear the burden for you
I'll walk an uncharted path
All alone with you
