And one day the stars will fall...
Happy birthday, Daddy!
Iyu...
Maybe, if I can feel pain for you...
...then you can help me keep my humanity.
Haruka...?
Amazon.
NEO
Amazon!
Move.
Who are you...? Why are you attacking Iyu?!
That one...
Shit, he's a dangerous one.
He's one of the Amazons that disappeared 5 years ago...
Yeah, I've seen him once before.
When Iyu was being eaten by her father...
...he was there.
He's the one that killed her father.
Why do you think he's here, now?
How should I know?
But he's a prime target.
We're taking him out.
Fukuda, I'm giving you authorization. Load up a high-pressure round.
We're not allowed to use those inside city limits.
Things are already fucked up, you think anyone will care?
We should get a read on this, first!
Fukuda...
You seem to have a bad habit of being all buddy-buddy with Amazons, don't you?
Haruka.
Mizuki...?!
And who is that?
A rookie from the Aoyama Team. She just finished training.
This is Aoyama Team, requesting reinforcements!
Mizuki... what are you doing here?
You said it yourself.
You have to fight.
And this is what I have to do.
Are you here to kill me?
If the time comes... Then I'll be the one to do it.
These are custom rounds, guaranteed to tear an Amazon to pieces.
So calm down and cooperate.
Stay away from him!
Mizuki...
Thank you.
You might have to use that on me, someday.
But not today...
Iyu...
Haruka!
Iyu.
Let go!
So, does anyone wanna explain what the hell just happened here?
Don't move him!
The ambulance is on its way!
Bite this!
What the fuck's going on?!
Why did Taku turn into an Amazon?!
What happened to him...?
Update: Water cooler company...
...calling for caution.
This is a repeat of the warning issued earlier...
Water containers from Aroma Ozone may be contaminated with harmful mold.
While not life threatening, authorities urge people to stop using them.
If you have drank water from one, please seek immediate medical attention.
Mizusawa Mizuki...
Hold up, your mother is one of those big wigs from Nozama Pharmaceuticals?
Director Mizusawa Reiko, one of the original architects of Amazon research.
She went so far as to use her own DNA to create an experimental Amazon.
The result of which we saw earlier, Mizusawa Haruka.
She adopted him, so legally he would be Ms. Mizusawa's older brother.
So your mom is one of those...
Mad scientists, or whatever you call 'em.
I have nothing to say about what my mother has done.
And the reason I joined this organization has nothing to do with her.
And yet, you threatened to blow Mizusawa Haruka away.
Only if he becomes a threat to humanity.
Her training was focused on the use of HP rounds.
I guess you are serious, then.
It begs the question, though... What's the story with Mizusawa Haruka?
AMAZON!
He disappeared 5 years ago, along with a bunch of Amazons.
He was suspected dead for a while.
But then he showed up at Iyu's house.
Her father was apparently a university professor,
but I can't imagine what their connection is.
It's not our job to figure that out.
We find him, we kill him. That simple.
That being the case, Mizusawa...
Yes, sir?
With the Aoyama Team being almost wiped out,
the remaining members are being sent to other teams.
So you... will be joining us.
Copy that.
And I want you to take this.
Better to have it in the hands of someone with the balls to use it.
Why did Mizusawa Haruka appear before Iyu?
It's happened twice now. Hard to believe it's just a coincidence, Kanou.
I have arranged for another investigation into Iyu's father, Sir.
You've always been quick to take action.
Iyu seemed like she recognized him...
Well, apparently he was there when she died, after all.
That's not what I mean... It's like she remembered something.
She must be getting her memory back...
Memories from when she was alive...
Chihiro, you seem to be misunderstanding all of this.
Iyu doesn't have amnesia.
She has all of her memories from when she was alive.
So then—
But that's all they are.
She has memories, but they hold no significance to her. She feels nothing.
Honestly, that's one of the strengths of the Sigma-types.
Even if that's how it is now, she might feel something again, someday...
That's ridiculous!
It's impossible, that would be like bringing the dead back to life, my boy!
But that's what you're talking about!
Oh, heavens no...
I'd never dream of anything so dreadful.
All I've done is find a way to develop Amazons in a way that suits our business model.
Human dignity must be preserved.
But a corpse is just a vessel, nothing more.
I'm nothing like those twisted individuals who combine humans with Amazons.
Kenta...
Have you told his parents?
He never really got along with his step-dad, so he ran away from home...
They hadn't talked in ages.
They almost seemed grateful over it.
Real pieces of work...
Taku was basically the same.
My parents are around, but their idea of raising a kid is making sure I have enough money.
That's why we got along... W-We've been together all this time...
Shit!
When did Taku start acting strange?
It was just out of the blue...
He was watching TV,
and he started going on about the water, or something...
The water cooler company...
Why...?
Taku...
He was an Amazon all along...
You're wrong.
He wasn't an Amazon, he was turned into one.
That's what's so dangerous about these new Amazons.
Be careful...
Not like we even know what to be careful of...
Let me know how Kenta's surgery goes.
And...
Stay away from the club from now on.
Um, they told me to report to Kurosaki's team...
Huh?
What is this, an Amazon daycare center?
We just got the details for the next mission, come join the briefing.
As I was saying...
The intel team was able to salvage a few bits of data
from what was left of the office after that mess.
Confirmation on two points of interest falls to our team.
First, where they were getting their water from.
Do we think that's where the origin is?
The origin?
Yes, the lysogenic cells themselves aren't contagious from person to person.
There can only be one source of infection, the origin.
That's the root of this whole mess.
Where did these lysogenic cells or whatever come from?
The origin...
Obviously, the water source and the bottling plant have already been checked.
But we still don't know where the infection was introduced,
so we'll take another look.
The other thing we're looking into...
...is a little more dangerous.
In the last week, four patients have gone missing from this clinic...
Nonomori Otolaryngology Clinic Treatment and Consultation for ear, nose, dizziness, allergies
Ms. Mukai? Mukai Miki?
Please come in.
Coming!
Hello, come right on in.
Have a seat.
What can I help you with today?
Closed
Iyu, we're moving out!
Roger.
Are you alright?
Damaged areas are fully repaired. No current issues.
Look, I know it's kinda late, but I never really introduced myself.
I'm Chihiro.
I'll be on the Kurosaki Team with you.
Roger.
Fukuda and Mizusawa will check the water.
Everyone else gets the danger.
Yes, Sir.
Roger that...
I never imagined you'd be joining our line of work.
Fukuda, why did you join 4C?
You know Nozama Pharma was shut down, right?
The money that went to 4C and settlements from the incident bankrupted them.
I know, my mother had to sell the house.
But I heard the extermination squad was dismantled.
Branch Chief Tachibana didn't want anything to do with us.
But I begged him to bring me in.
Why...?
For the money.
The others didn't feel the same way.
Nagase, I said not to come back...
How's Kenta?
His leg...
It's gone...
I see...
He wanted to get his motorcycle license... I guess that's not happening.
I want you to tell me!
Why the fuck did this happen to my friends?!
You know something, don't you?
What do you mean by new Amazons?!
I'll fucking kill them all...
That gun... I need you to get me one, please.
Well, Sir?!
Incoming!
Whoops.
A customer? We're too early?
- Let's come back. - Sure.
No, it's alright.
This is how it is, Nagase.
Five years ago, I used to hunt Amazons along with these two.
And we're about to start up again.
No one's home?
They're in there.
Two people.
People, huh?
Chihiro, you go in through the front.
Iyu, take the back.
Roger.
Everyone else, perimeter the building.
Roger.
Doctor...
Sorry, there's only enough for two here.
You'll have to find your own.
Like hell I will...
NEO
Amazon!
Target confirmed.
Amazon.
Iyu!
You're in the way.
Move.
Freeze.
Target is down.
That just leaves one more...
If you want her that badly...
...you can have her.
Target confirmed.
Iyu...?
It's gotten awfully quiet.
And one day the stars will fall,
the stars will fall, and when they do...
My heart will sparkle,
My heart will sparkle brightly...
If being born into this world is a sin that can't be erased
Then living is the path back to the beginning of it all
A labyrinth of salvation distorting your signal
and my heart can't seem to beat
The things that made up my life lie scattered across the ground
Oh yeah!
(Whoa whoa whoa, take your oath)
I don't wanna live in a dead world
(Whoa whoa whoa, must break to freedom)
Even if my instinct tells me to devour...
Iyu and Chihiro left?
Unable to confirm target.
Would you stay out of the way, please?
Iyu can't operate outside of this team.
We're human, I know it.
