( beeping )

MP SIGNAL.

SPECIMEN'S VITAL SIGNS CONFIRMED.

- SUBJECT ENTERING AWAKENING STATE.

- AND THE SEDATIVES? - THEY AREN'T HAVING ANY EFFECT.

- IT'S WAKING UP. WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

KEEP IT ASLEEP AT ALL COSTS!

- A BREACH HAS OCCURRED. STARTING DATA BACKUP.

ALL PERSONNEL ARE ADVISED TO EVACUATE.

NO, WAIT!

( alarm buzzing )

( turns off alarm )

- Man: THAT IS WHEN EVERYTHING BECAME PERFECTLY CLEAR.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MALICE, IMPLANTED BY THE CREATOR.

WE CANNOT RESIST THAT WHICH IS.

WE SIMPLY--

WE SIMPLY HAVE TO PUNISH THEM.

CAN YOU HEAR THE PULSE

OF THE AWAKENING?

- (Loudspeaker) FELLOW CITIZENS, THE TIME IS NOW TO CONSUME.

WHY SKIMP WHEN YOU DESERVE MORE?

FELLOW CITIZENS, DO YOUR PART AND MAKE WASTE.

LIFE IS EASY WHEN YOU LIGHTEN THE LOAD.

FELLOW CITIZENS, THE TIME IS NOW TO CONSUME.

WHY SKIMP WHEN YOU DESERVE MORE?

MY APOLOGIES.

WELL, WE'VE MADE ALL THE NECESSARY PREPARATIONS.

YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

FINE. WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER.

WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON? WHAT COULD BE IMPORTANT ENOUGH

TO MAKE ME CHANGE MY SCHEDULE?

- THIS IS A LEVEL ULTIMATE INTELLIGENCE DISCLOSURE.

YOU NEED TO HURRY.

- ( gunshots ) - ( screaming )

( grunting )

( screaming )

- CAN YOU CONFIRM THE INCIDENT? - YES.

I'M ABSOLUTELY SURE OF IT. I SAW IT HAPPEN.

- Woman: A BREACH HAS OCCURRED...

YOUR JOB IS DONE.

WE WILL LEAVE THE REST TO RAUL.

- Man: WAIT. WHAT ABOUT THE--

- BY THE WAY, IS LITTLE RE-L PLANNING TO SHOW UP TONIGHT?

RE-L, BY ANY CHANCE,

DID YOU GO TO REGENT DONOV'S LAST NIGHT?

NO, I DIDN'T.

HE WOULD HAVE JUST GIVEN ME ANOTHER ONE OF HIS LECTURES.

THAT'S ALL GRANDFATHER DOES.

- YOU ARE HIS LITTLE PRINCESS. - IGGY.

- BY THE WAY, THE SECURITY BUREAU CONDUCTED SPOT SEARCHES

ACROSS THE CITY LAST NIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WAS ABOUT?

THEY EVEN WANT US TO PROVIDE THEM WITH INFORMATION

FROM OUR DEPARTMENT ABOUT INFECTED AUTOREIVS.

WE'RE THE INTELLIGENCE BUREAU AND THEY TELL US NOTHING.

WHO'S THE NEW MAN OVER THERE? RAUL, ISN'T IT?

I DON'T CARE FOR HIM VERY MUCH.

I KNOW HIM.

- THEN THERE'S THE SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT ABOUT THE RESIDENTS

WHO WERE BRUTALLY MURDERED.

I JUST CAN'T SEE HOW THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE THE WORK

OF AN AUTOREIV INFECTED WITH THE COGITO VIRUS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? RE-L?! - ENOUGH.

CUT THE TURING APPLICATION FROM THE LANGUAGE FIELD.

- ROGER. TURING APPLICATION CUT.

PLEASE CONFIRM. - GOOD.

NOW GO TO THE FG TEMPORARY IMMIGRANT DISTRICT'S AUTOREIV

DISPOSAL FACILITY. - CONFIRMED.

( sighs )

ROMDEAU CITY.

THIS PLACE IS UNDOUBTEDLY

OUR FINAL PARADISE.

TODAY IS JUST ANOTHER DAY HERE.

NOTHING CHANGES FOR THE BETTER IN THIS CRADLE,

WHICH WAS BUILT AMIDST THE ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION

THAT NOW SURROUNDS OUR PLANET,

A BORING PARADISE.

WELL, THEN, HAVE YOU VERIFIED THAT THE BK-30 TYPE

THAT ESCAPED WAS INFECTED?

I'M SORRY, DOROTHY.

I'LL SUBMIT AN INTENT TO ESCAPE REPORT.

HOWEVER...

( groaning )

- HOWEVER, YOU MUST MEET WITH THE PERSON

FROM THE INTELLIGENCE BUREAU WHEN SHE COMES IN TODAY

REGARDING THE CASE.

- YES. - ALL RIGHT.

NEXT YOU HAVE A NEW INFECTION TO INVESTIGATE.

YOU'VE RECEIVED A PERMIT

TO ENTER THE CITIZEN'S RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

DON'T WORRY. IF YOU DO AS I INSTRUCT YOU TO,

YOU CAN BECOME A FELLOW CITIZEN.

- STOP RELYING SO HEAVILY ON YOUR ENTOURAGE.

ENTOURAGES WILL ALWAYS BE AUTOREIVS AND NOTHING MORE.

TO BECOME A FELLOW CITIZEN YOU NEED TO WORK HARDER

ON YOUR HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.

INSPECTOR RE-L.

- WE MET AT THE INTERVIEW, RIGHT?

VINCENT LAW.

VINCENT.

- HIS EXCELLENCY'S GRANDDAUGHTER.

- IF ONLY YOU'D LET ME KNOW BEFOREHAND, I WOULD HAVE--

- YOU WERE TOLD NOT TO ADDRESS HER IN THAT MANNER PREVIOUSLY.

- THIS IS THE INFECTED AUTOREIV FROM LAST NIGHT.

IT'S MESSED UP.

- IT'S BECAUSE OF THE OUTDATED EQUIPMENT

THAT'S ISSUED TO US DISPOSAL UNIT CREWS.

THEY CAN'T STOP THEM FROM FUNCTIONING

UNLESS WE DISMANTLE THEM.

IS THAT A COMPLAINT?

NO, I'M SORRY.

HERE'S THE HIPPOCAMPUS FILE.

ONE THING WE KNOW FOR SURE

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF INFECTIONS IN HIS TYPES RECENTLY.

ANALYZING.

- THEY SAY AUTOREIVS THAT HAVE BEEN INFECTED

WITH THE COGITO VIRUS ACHIEVE SELF-AWARENESS

AND CAN NO LONGER BE CONTROLLED BY HUMANS.

IN THIS CITY OF ROMDEAU, WHERE ALL THE SYSTEMS

ARE DESIGNED IN ORDER THAT WE MAY LIVE,

EVEN THE PRAYERS OF AN AUTOREIV WHO'S PREPARED TO DIE

ARE UNNECESSARY.

YOU HAVE THE VERY IMPORTANT TASK OF PROTECTING THE PEOPLE.

THAT'S THE SHORTEST ROUTE FOR AN IMMIGRANT

TO BECOME A FELLOW CITIZEN.

BY THE WAY, VINCENT. - YES.

- I SEE YOU'RE STILL WEARING THAT THING.

UH, YES.

- THINGS THAT SMELL OF MOSK ARE ARE TO BE THROWN AWAY.

DON'T BRING IT TO YOUR HEARING.

Iggy: ANALYSIS COMPLETE.

TELL ME.

WE'RE IN LUCK, RE-L.

LOOKS LIKE PART OF THE AUTONOMIC NEURO FILE

MANAGED TO ESCAPE INFECTION.

I DID A RECONSTRUCTION BASED ON ITS MEMORY INFORMATION

AND OBTAINED A PROJECTED ESCAPE ROUTE.

- GOOD. - SORRY.

YOU CAN RETURN TO YOUR DUTIES.

I THINK YOUR ENTOURAGE IS GROWING IMPATIENT.

- WELL, DID YOU SEE THE WAY HE WAS STARING AT YOU?

- OH, WAS HE? - AS IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE.

Man: VINCENT.

SORRY, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT,

BUT I NEED YOU TO MAKE UP FOR YOUR MISTAKE RIGHT AWAY.

- YOU MUST EXAMINE AN AUTOREIV FOR INFECTION.

LOOK OVER THERE.

THAT IS A FACE OF AN IDEAL FELLOW CITIZEN.

THE FACE OF A PERSON THIS CITY DESIRES.

A DULL FACE.

BUT PERHAPS IT'S ME,

THE ONE WHO LOOKS DOWN ON THEM,

WHO HAS NOW BECOME UNNECESSARY.

LET'S GO, IGGY.

- RIGHT NOW I JUST CAN'T SAY WHEN.

THEN I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU. I'M SORRY ABOUT THIS.

- ( beeps ) - PLEASE, CONTINUE.

- YES. WE'VE EXPANDED THE SEARCH

TO INCLUDE THE AREAS IN AND AROUND THE D, E AND F
