You just couldn't bear solitude, that's all.
Who isn't alone in this society?
In this world where everyone is watched over by the system
and lives 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.
You're the same too, right, Shinya Kogami?
No one accepted your justice.
No one understood your anger, either.
So you turned your back on trust and friendships,
and you even abandoned the only place you could belong to
in order to come this far.
And yet, you laugh at my solitude?
But you know... I highly value one who doesn't fear solitude...
...you, who turned your solitude into a weapon.
#22 Perfect World
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
You never learn, do you, Kogami?
Hold it right there.
Mr. Kogami...
...please don't move.
Makishima is nearby, too.
Yes, I know. I'll capture him, too.
Are you going to handcuff me here and go after him all by yourself?
I'm not that reckless.
This is locked in Paralyzer mode with the safety unlocked.
You should be able to use it, too.
Please give me a hand.
We'll just paralyze Makishima using Paralyzer.
If you try anything beyond that, I'll shoot your leg.
I'm surprised.
I thought you'd get tougher...
...but I do think you could be a bit nicer.
You're trying not to kill Makishima no matter what because...
Because it's illegal. Because I can't overlook a crime.
Why are you going that far to obey the law
when that law can neither judge a criminal nor protect people?
The law doesn't protect people. People protect the law.
People have always detested evil and sought out a righteous way of living.
Their feelings... The accumulation of those peoples' feelings are the law.
They're neither the provisions nor the system.
They're the fragile and irreplaceable feelings
that everyone carries in their hearts.
Compared to the power of anger and hatred,
they are something that can quite easily break down.
People have prayed for a better world throughout time.
In order for those prayers to continue to hold meaning,
we have to try our best to protect it to the very end.
We just can't give up on it.
If there ever comes a time when everyone feels that way,
the Sibyl System will probably disappear.
There'll no longer be any latent criminals or Enforcers.
But...
Tsk!
Akane!
I wish...
...you guys would stop insulting us... already.
I see... You are...
N-No...
This is just between the two of us.
Mr. Kogami!
Everyone is alone.
Everyone is empty.
People no longer have need of others.
You can always find a spare for any talent.
Any relationship can be replaced.
I had gotten bored of a world like that.
But for some reason...
...the thought that someone other than you might kill me never occurred to me.
Say, what do you think, Kogami...
...after this, will you be able to find a replacement for me?
Well, I sure hope not.
Long before... they had ever met,
I think this destiny awaited them.
They were not like ships passing in the night.
It wasn't like they didn't understand each other.
They understood each other better than anyone else,
and each was focused solely on the other.
Mr. Kogami...
The outcome of the attempt to capture Shogo Makishima was quite regrettable.
Does that mean I'm no longer needed?
We have no choice but to lower our evaluation of your abilities.
However, that does not mean that the value of your existence turns negative.
Rather, when it comes to managing the Sibyl System,
you are still an individual of outstanding value.
What do you mean?
You have a healthy, strong Psycho-Pass,
as well as a clear mind and judgment.
We can say that your qualities are as close to ideal as they come
for serving as an example to the citizens of the coming new era.
And, you hold an emotional antipathy that is completely contrary
to your theoretical assessment of the Sibyl System,
and that conflict continues to exist.
If we can establish a means of winning you over to our side,
we will be able to obtain valuable sample data
for taking the governance of society to the next level.
What are you up to?
Considering public opinion,
the true form of the Sibyl System is currently completely kept secret.
At this point, covering it up is still a simple strategy in the short term.
However, as a long-term strategy, this is never desirable.
We should eventually make our true form public.
Creating an environment where every citizen enjoys and accepts
our governance after they become aware of our true form...
Achieving this task will solidify the stability and prosperity
of the future human society.
Continuing to observe and analyze your movements
will provide us with valuable hints on how to build a methodology
for winning over the citizens in the future and getting them to adapt.
You think it'll go so smoothly?
As long as you don't show any signs of jeopardizing our secret,
your life and your freedom of action will be guaranteed.
We hope you will cooperate with us.
If you are to follow your desire for self-preservation, there is only one choice.
Yeah, I don't want to die in vain,
and it's true that the current society cannot hold without Sibyl.
We feel that we can trust in your respect for the law when you make decisions.
Do you know the most demeaning thing you can do
to the law that should be sacred?
Creating and administering a law that is unworthy of protection.
You shouldn't underestimate humans.
We're always aiming for a better society.
Someone will come to this room some day to turn off the power.
We will find a new path for sure.
Sibyl System, you guys have no future!
Akane Tsunemori...
Fight...
Struggle...
...so that it will help us to evolve.
2 months later
Hey, it's been a while... I came to talk to you today...
since I decided what I'm going to do next.
My Crime Coefficient went up to 140.
There's no longer a chance of recovery.
But it's not in my nature to sit around and mope in the isolation facility.
So I decided to go back to where I used to work.
You told me to take a different path.
Guess I didn't live up to your expectations.
I'm a bad son in every respect, aren't I?
But strangely enough, I don't have any regrets.
There's nothing good about being a detective.
Even so, it's a job that someone needs to do.
Right... Dad?
Sorry for troubling you.
That's okay. It's my duty to accompany an Enforcer when they go out.
Unlike Kagari, at least my dad was able to get a grave.
Division 2 was told to stop their investigation on him, right?
Yes.
I bet Kagari isn't alive anymore.
I'm sure the top brass found evidence of that, but they're trying to sweep it
under the rug and keep it from the public.
I wonder where Mr. Kogami is.
When the collar comes off of such a wild hunting dog,
he becomes no different from a wolf.
Now that he's back in the wild...
...he might rather be living a free and easygoing life.
Would living like that be relaxing?
It's not like he was living a relaxing life when he was an Enforcer, right?
He was a persevering, cunning man who didn't know when to give up.
No matter how bad the situation, he'll always pull through.
The one I'm more concerned about... is you, Inspector Tsunemori.
What? Me?
You are ever the worrier, Mr. Ginoza.
Let's look at the future, rather than the past.
A new Inspector will be assigned tomorrow, right?
It's unusual to hire a minor, isn't it?
We're partially responsible for that.
By the way, may I ask you a trivial question?
What is it?
Were you wearing glasses for show?
What?
I don't like how my face looks, especially my eyes.
But I don't care about that anymore, so...
Division 1 underwent a sea change, didn't it?
Shu, Masa and Shinya...
They're all gone.
It means that old-fashioned guys are not suited for this job.
Isn't calling them old-fashioned a bit harsh?
Why don't you call them romantics?
Could that be a comfort to them?
This is the CID, part of the Public Safety Bureau.
Access to this block is currently restricted to ensure safety.
Excuse me! Are you Inspector Tsunemori?
Yes.
What bad luck that you have to deal with an incident right after you got posted.
I'm Mika Shimotsuki.
I've been assigned to the Criminal Investigation Department as of today!
Pleased to meet you!
Sorry, but the CID is very short on manpower.
So I'll help you out but I can't treat you like a newbie.
I'm aware of that. I'm looking forward to the work.
Good response.
That's...
The guys you're about to meet are humans just like us,
but they'll deal with crimes using criteria for judgment different from yours.
Their actions sometimes may be beyond your comprehension.
Trust them, but at the same time, be cautious of them.
If you underestimate them, you'll get seriously hurt.
They're what we call "Enforcers." They'll be your subordinates.
Dominator Portable Psychological Diagnosis and Suppression System
has been activated.
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
Swann's Way
The chain of justice... the system... never ends...
