WEBVTT

00:01:19.904 --> 00:01:21.071
A missile attack?

00:01:22.406 --> 00:01:25.492
A grudge against GHOST
wouldn't lead to this.

00:01:26.035 --> 00:01:28.495
Togusa!

00:01:31.582 --> 00:01:35.711
Now I'm hearing their voices.
I must really be losing it.

00:01:37.254 --> 00:01:39.214
Togusa!

00:01:41.550 --> 00:01:44.094
It really is you!

00:01:47.181 --> 00:01:51.977
SACRIFICIAL PAWN
Emissary from the Divide

00:01:56.190 --> 00:01:58.901
Is this a Delta Force cyborg squad?

00:01:59.485 --> 00:02:00.486
Probably.

00:02:00.903 --> 00:02:04.114
These are the people who took
the Major and her team?

00:02:04.198 --> 00:02:06.867
And she ordered you to hide here?

00:02:06.951 --> 00:02:07.868
That's right.

00:02:08.869 --> 00:02:09.912
Who's that guy?

00:02:10.329 --> 00:02:13.040
He probably works for the government.

00:02:13.248 --> 00:02:16.210
But my searches
haven't turned up anything.

00:02:17.086 --> 00:02:19.630
-Try without the sunglasses.
-I already did.

00:02:20.172 --> 00:02:21.090
See?

00:02:23.008 --> 00:02:24.551
Let's poke the hornet's nest.

00:02:25.177 --> 00:02:26.679
What hornet's nest?

00:02:31.392 --> 00:02:34.061
Just like you said,
the files are being deleted

00:02:34.144 --> 00:02:35.729
as fast as they're uploaded!

00:02:36.105 --> 00:02:37.690
Keep posting away.

00:02:37.856 --> 00:02:40.526
And make sure it includes
my address and location.

00:02:40.609 --> 00:02:41.443
Roger.

00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:47.324
There's no turning back now.
We'll just have to see how they respond.

00:02:50.869 --> 00:02:51.704
Whoa.

00:02:52.454 --> 00:02:53.497
That was quick.

00:04:31.512 --> 00:04:32.971
Nice gun.

00:04:49.780 --> 00:04:50.614
Good work.

00:04:54.159 --> 00:04:56.703
Whoa there. No need for that.

00:04:57.371 --> 00:04:59.206
You're the big boss, I take it?

00:04:59.957 --> 00:05:02.876
I am John Smith.

00:05:08.382 --> 00:05:12.386
So that was one consequence
of your sustainable war?

00:05:14.179 --> 00:05:15.806
An American civil war?

00:05:17.057 --> 00:05:19.226
It's no more than a public disturbance.

00:05:20.310 --> 00:05:24.314
Sustainable war is one
of the most elegant industries

00:05:24.398 --> 00:05:26.775
ever invented by humankind.

00:05:27.734 --> 00:05:32.239
If left to the pros, the economy
will keep humming along just fine.

00:05:33.115 --> 00:05:35.117
The Cold War is a perfect example.

00:05:36.285 --> 00:05:39.371
That's absurd, just like your name,
Mr. Smith.

00:05:46.545 --> 00:05:47.379
No thanks.

00:06:01.059 --> 00:06:04.479
What is it you want, Mr. Togusa?

00:06:07.482 --> 00:06:10.152
So, you already know about me.

00:06:10.235 --> 00:06:11.778
For the most part.

00:06:13.906 --> 00:06:18.243
Then you know why I'm here.
I want to see GHOST Team.

00:06:21.705 --> 00:06:22.539
I see.

00:06:23.332 --> 00:06:25.167
I'm afraid I can't help you.

00:06:26.001 --> 00:06:26.877
Why's that?

00:06:32.883 --> 00:06:35.510
The Major and her team...
Are they all right?

00:06:37.554 --> 00:06:38.388
They are.

00:06:38.555 --> 00:06:39.431
So what now?

00:06:39.848 --> 00:06:42.226
This is a government-backed operation.

00:06:42.309 --> 00:06:48.148
Continue meddling, and we'll be forced
to terminate you with extreme prejudice.

00:06:51.652 --> 00:06:52.486
Wait.

00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:56.573
I almost forgot.

00:06:58.158 --> 00:07:02.537
Your arrival provided a lead
to help establish their identities.

00:07:03.247 --> 00:07:04.122
Thank you.

00:07:05.290 --> 00:07:08.919
Consider my letting you live
a small token of our gratitude.

00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:11.213
What the hell?

00:07:15.467 --> 00:07:16.718
The NSA?

00:07:16.802 --> 00:07:17.636
Yes, sir.

00:07:18.011 --> 00:07:20.847
I was warned not to stick my nose
in any further.

00:07:21.556 --> 00:07:27.145
The Major and her team
may be involved in an NSA operation.

00:07:28.647 --> 00:07:29.940
-However...
-What?

00:07:31.024 --> 00:07:36.738
My careless actions
may have exposed their identities.

00:07:39.616 --> 00:07:44.746
At least we know they're not terrorists.
We might even be able to strike a bargain.

00:07:45.414 --> 00:07:46.331
That's true.

00:07:46.707 --> 00:07:50.127
Despite how you feel, you've done well.

00:07:50.502 --> 00:07:53.130
I'll put out some feelers.

00:07:53.422 --> 00:07:54.256
Understood.

00:07:57.301 --> 00:08:00.137
They're not even trying
to conceal their snipers.

00:08:14.151 --> 00:08:17.237
At this rate, I won't ever get a call
from the Major.

00:08:21.033 --> 00:08:21.950
Not again?

00:08:22.659 --> 00:08:26.121
They really want to keep this op
under wraps, huh?

00:08:26.830 --> 00:08:29.291
I hate the way these things zap you.

00:08:35.454 --> 00:08:37.247
Enjoying yourself, Batou?

00:08:37.789 --> 00:08:38.999
What, this?

00:08:39.207 --> 00:08:40.041
Yes.

00:08:41.293 --> 00:08:42.794
Too many moving parts.

00:08:43.670 --> 00:08:45.005
What's fun about that?

00:08:47.048 --> 00:08:48.592
Then again...

00:08:49.885 --> 00:08:52.679
we get a kick out of joining
your flights of fancy.

00:08:53.346 --> 00:08:55.223
Guess that's why we're here.

00:09:16.510 --> 00:09:19.054
It's even more cramped
than I remembered.

00:09:19.346 --> 00:09:22.099
We were redesigned for cyborgs.

00:09:23.853 --> 00:09:24.937
A brothel?

00:09:25.563 --> 00:09:28.608
It used to be a Raider hideout.

00:09:28.774 --> 00:09:31.652
But it looks like a refuge
for these ladies now.

00:09:43.626 --> 00:09:44.460
I see.

00:09:45.044 --> 00:09:48.047
You wanted to make money
to buy parts for this one.

00:09:48.798 --> 00:09:50.550
You've taken quite a beating.

00:09:50.633 --> 00:09:54.053
Hey, Togusa. What brings you here?

00:09:55.596 --> 00:09:57.390
It's a long story.

00:10:00.768 --> 00:10:03.187
Looks like you have some
of the parts you need.

00:10:04.564 --> 00:10:07.441
-Sync with him to get up to speed.
-Will do!

00:10:07.608 --> 00:10:09.694
I'll go get the rest of your parts.

00:10:19.704 --> 00:10:22.582
May I have a minute, Miss Byron?

00:10:27.628 --> 00:10:30.089
Long time no see, Daisuke.

00:10:31.173 --> 00:10:33.009
About six years?

00:10:34.594 --> 00:10:38.556
Time is of the essence,
so I'll get right to the point.

00:10:39.724 --> 00:10:42.560
Among the operations
your agency is overseeing,

00:10:42.894 --> 00:10:47.315
are there any involving a mercenary group
by the name of GHOST?

00:10:48.774 --> 00:10:49.775
GHOST?

00:10:53.905 --> 00:10:58.910
I believe they are currently involved
in one of our missions.

00:10:58.993 --> 00:11:02.413
I'm in urgent need of them.

00:11:03.122 --> 00:11:07.001
Could you immediately discharge them
and hand them over to me?

00:11:07.418 --> 00:11:08.836
I can't do that.

00:11:09.670 --> 00:11:11.339
Not even on orders from you.

00:11:11.756 --> 00:11:14.175
And after the operation is completed?

00:11:16.344 --> 00:11:17.303
The thing is...

00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:23.809
The entire mission will likely be scrubbed
from existence, including them.

00:11:24.268 --> 00:11:25.227
I see.

00:11:28.940 --> 00:11:33.319
Is this personal?
Are you saying she's indispensable?

00:11:35.571 --> 00:11:36.405
That's right.

00:11:38.574 --> 00:11:41.869
Even so, there's nothing I can do.

00:11:43.329 --> 00:11:44.413
This mission...

00:11:45.414 --> 00:11:49.585
It's in our national interest.
It must be carried out.

00:11:50.336 --> 00:11:54.423
And they were deemed
the most fit for the job.

00:11:56.592 --> 00:12:00.554
If there were anyone
who could save them now,

00:12:01.389 --> 00:12:03.641
it would be the president.

00:12:06.060 --> 00:12:06.894
I see.

00:12:11.065 --> 00:12:13.401
Forgive my unreasonable request,
Miss Byron.

00:12:16.404 --> 00:12:17.655
After all this time...

00:12:18.698 --> 00:12:20.825
you still won't call me Ada.

00:12:33.546 --> 00:12:36.716
I envy this woman you need so badly.

00:12:39.635 --> 00:12:41.262
I wish you luck.

00:12:52.189 --> 00:12:54.400
This is Aramaki
from the Interior Ministry.

00:13:14.742 --> 00:13:17.704
About your old agency,
Public Security Section 9...

00:13:18.329 --> 00:13:21.916
Seems like it's
a completely different place now.

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.626
What are you yapping about?

00:13:24.002 --> 00:13:27.505
So you had nothing to do with them?

00:13:28.089 --> 00:13:31.092
If we were connected
with Public Security Section 9,

00:13:31.342 --> 00:13:33.678
would that be a problem for you?

00:13:35.638 --> 00:13:37.015
Not particularly.

00:14:06.503 --> 00:14:08.338
The prime minister has arrived.

00:14:12.509 --> 00:14:15.136
I've been expecting you,
Prime Minister Teito.

00:14:15.261 --> 00:14:16.095
You are...?

00:14:16.554 --> 00:14:18.640
Aramaki from the Interior Ministry.

00:14:21.309 --> 00:14:22.936
So, you're Daisuke Aramaki.

00:14:23.686 --> 00:14:25.188
It's a pleasure to meet you.

00:14:25.647 --> 00:14:29.150
-Chris Teito--
-Sir, we've no time to waste.

00:14:29.734 --> 00:14:30.610
Well then...

00:14:31.486 --> 00:14:33.112
I'll leave you two alone.

00:14:33.571 --> 00:14:34.906
If you will excuse me.

00:14:44.832 --> 00:14:45.917
Mr. Prime Minster.

00:14:47.001 --> 00:14:48.503
All right, let's hear it.

00:14:49.837 --> 00:14:54.342
I'm working as fast as I can
to rebuild Public Security Section 9

00:14:54.425 --> 00:14:58.513
per your request,
but I've run into a rather thorny issue.

00:14:58.930 --> 00:15:02.100
I'm here to ask for your assistance.

00:15:02.809 --> 00:15:05.144
Why don't you take a seat, Mr. Aramaki?

00:15:12.860 --> 00:15:16.614
It's true, I did ask you
to rebuild Section 9.

00:15:17.615 --> 00:15:18.825
But make no mistake,

00:15:19.492 --> 00:15:23.162
it was only to meet
the Americans' demands to form a unit.

00:15:23.746 --> 00:15:26.040
There was no need
to assign specific members.

00:15:26.874 --> 00:15:30.837
We simply need to dispatch
the bare minimum unit the Americans seek.

00:15:31.963 --> 00:15:34.882
Even if some members are expendable,

00:15:36.467 --> 00:15:40.138
it will be more than worth it
if it puts the Americans in our debt.

00:15:40.597 --> 00:15:41.681
I see.

00:15:42.307 --> 00:15:43.808
But Mr. Prime Minister...

00:15:44.434 --> 00:15:47.145
based on the president's request,

00:15:47.270 --> 00:15:51.733
I believe they are the only ones
who can meet the American's demands.

00:15:52.150 --> 00:15:55.236
I've read the old reports, and it's true,

00:15:55.528 --> 00:15:58.281
Public Security Section 9
has served Japan admirably.

00:15:58.364 --> 00:15:59.198
However...

00:16:00.325 --> 00:16:03.244
I believe your command
is the source of their success.

00:16:03.411 --> 00:16:05.121
I don't know about that.

00:16:06.164 --> 00:16:11.294
I believe those very members made
Public Security Section 9 what it was.

00:16:12.670 --> 00:16:16.299
If you want the Americans in your debt,

00:16:16.841 --> 00:16:19.636
we must get our team back alive.

00:16:23.014 --> 00:16:23.890
That said...

00:16:25.141 --> 00:16:30.855
Can we expect the White House
to owe us one after I bow down to them?

00:16:31.356 --> 00:16:32.357
Sir...

00:16:33.941 --> 00:16:40.615
Bowing down only makes sense
when done from a position of strength.

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.158
In other words,

00:16:42.909 --> 00:16:48.206
I believe you can speak
with the president on equal terms.

00:16:48.539 --> 00:16:50.917
That's why I've come to you.

00:16:51.417 --> 00:16:53.920
But if that is beyond your ability,

00:16:54.504 --> 00:17:00.093
it may already be too late to place
the Americans in your debt.

00:17:04.514 --> 00:17:05.348
Very well.

00:17:06.057 --> 00:17:09.477
I'm not sure if I can pull this off,
but I'll do my best.

00:17:11.521 --> 00:17:12.897
Thank you very much.

00:17:16.776 --> 00:17:17.777
Mr. Aramaki,

00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:20.738
I don't meet people like you very often.

00:17:21.823 --> 00:17:23.074
Mr. Prime Minister...

00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:27.745
let's save the handshake
for when we both get what we want.

00:17:30.123 --> 00:17:30.998
Fair enough.

00:17:40.133 --> 00:17:42.218
This is your drop point.

00:17:42.677 --> 00:17:46.347
And this is where
your rescue target is located.

00:17:47.140 --> 00:17:49.350
Complete the mission
as quickly as possible.

00:17:49.892 --> 00:17:52.562
A little light on the details as usual.

00:17:53.229 --> 00:17:54.897
What's to explain?

00:17:54.981 --> 00:17:58.693
You've already completed
our training program.

00:17:59.235 --> 00:18:01.362
All that's left is to wish you luck.

00:18:06.784 --> 00:18:09.120
This means I'm a free man again!

00:18:09.787 --> 00:18:12.832
I forgot to mention one thing.

00:18:14.041 --> 00:18:20.131
Be prepared to face commensurate penalties
if you abandon the mission.

00:18:21.674 --> 00:18:24.510
And if we just vanish into thin air?

00:18:24.969 --> 00:18:27.847
How will you punish us then?

00:18:31.851 --> 00:18:35.605
You're welcome to try,
but your chances are slim to none.

00:18:48.409 --> 00:18:52.955
I'm counting on you,
Major Motoko Kusanagi.

00:18:57.919 --> 00:19:00.087
Ishikawa, determine our current position.

00:19:00.630 --> 00:19:02.548
Batou, how many are we facing?

00:19:03.049 --> 00:19:05.134
A platoon-size group if not more.

00:19:07.595 --> 00:19:08.429
Major.

00:19:09.055 --> 00:19:14.352
They took us back to a point not far
from where they captured us.

00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:15.645
What's going on?

00:19:16.312 --> 00:19:18.689
We're inside LA's Gated Town.

00:19:19.732 --> 00:19:20.566
What?

00:19:20.900 --> 00:19:26.489
Don't tell me our rescue target
is being held in a Beverly Hills mansion!

00:19:35.790 --> 00:19:38.793
I found out who owns the mansion
the missile struck.

00:19:39.710 --> 00:19:44.048
Patrick Huge, standard-bearer
of the red-hot robotics industry,

00:19:44.340 --> 00:19:48.052
but derided as the poster boy
of sustainable war.

00:19:48.261 --> 00:19:51.097
What? The CEO of Blood Robotics?

00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:52.098
That's right.

00:19:52.181 --> 00:19:53.599
Does that mean...?

00:19:53.766 --> 00:19:56.561
You mean to tell me he's
the Good One-percenter?

00:19:56.644 --> 00:19:59.146
The one who gave the Raiders
those weapons?

00:19:59.230 --> 00:20:01.065
Yep, it's definitely him.

00:20:01.816 --> 00:20:03.276
I don't get it.

00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.988
So this isn't a rescue mission.
It's an abduction?

00:20:07.321 --> 00:20:08.155
So it seems.

00:20:08.906 --> 00:20:10.157
What the hell?

00:20:10.324 --> 00:20:14.412
So this CEO guy is the Raider's boss?
They should just go arrest him.

00:20:14.495 --> 00:20:18.040
He's a law-abiding entrepreneur
for all intents and purposes.

00:20:18.124 --> 00:20:21.377
There must be other ulterior motives
behind this op.

00:20:22.712 --> 00:20:24.589
Saito, any movement behind us?

00:20:25.798 --> 00:20:29.343
Delta is being deployed,
and they seem to be monitoring us.

00:20:29.427 --> 00:20:30.887
Why would they do that?

00:20:30.970 --> 00:20:35.516
They're making us do the dirty work.

00:20:35.725 --> 00:20:40.104
-Whoa, this ain't cool. * this--
-Saito, stay here and cover us.

00:20:41.230 --> 00:20:42.273
Let's move.

00:20:51.003 --> 00:20:52.588
Great news, Togusa!

00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:55.675
We got the long-awaited signal
from the Major!

00:20:56.509 --> 00:20:57.385
Can I talk to her?

00:20:57.844 --> 00:20:59.554
I don't think so.

00:20:59.721 --> 00:21:02.849
-I only got her location for some reason.
-I see.

00:21:04.058 --> 00:21:05.685
Let's head over there.

00:21:05.768 --> 00:21:06.602
Roger!

00:21:06.894 --> 00:21:07.729
Up for this?

00:21:13.025 --> 00:21:14.402
Yeah, I think I'm good.

00:21:14.485 --> 00:21:15.403
Yay!

00:21:23.745 --> 00:21:27.707
All right, let's rendezvous
with the Major and company!
