Psycho-Pass (PSYCHO-PASS サイコパス)

Shit!

You fought rather well considering your wounds.

They must've realized it the moment

they first laid eyes on one another.

Realized that long before they had ever met.

Destiny had planned this encounter.

They were not two ships passing in the night.

They understood each other

better than they understood themselves.

Their focus was solely reserved for the other.

You are... Shinya Kogami.

And you are Shogo Makishima.

Your attention, please.

This is the Criminal Investigation Department,

of the Public Safety Bureau.

For your protection,

access to this block is currently restricted.

Neighborhood residents are required

to immediately evacuate this area.

This message will now repeat.

Your attention, please.

This is the Criminal Investigation Department,

of the Public Safety Bureau.

For your protection,

access to this block is currently restricted.

Excuse me, sorry.

Excuse me. Do you know where I can find Inspector Ginoza?

Right here. Well, you've got some awful luck

to get this assignment your first night on the job.

Inspector Akane Tsunemori reporting for duty, sir.

Pleased to meet you, sir. This is my first day.

I know.

I'm sorry, but the CID's short on manpower tonight.

I don't have time to give you the rookie treatment.

Our target's name is Nobuo Okura.

A street scanner flagged him during a Hue Check.

He was ordered by a Security Drone

to receive therapy but he panicked and ran.

His recorded Psycho-Pass was forest green.

So we can expect his aggression and compulsion to be high.

Why would somebody choose to let their Hue

get so cloudy over receiving treatment?

There's a strong chance he's using incompatible narcotics.

Regardless, he's far enough gone

that we don't need to wait for Sibyl's judgment.

Of course he had to pick an abolition block to hide out in.

So that's the challenge.

The block's not wired with a relay device

so we can't send in any drones in.

On top of that.

We've got multiple eyewitness accounts stating

that Okura took someone captive while fleeing.

He's got a hostage?

According to the witness reports,

it looked to be a woman in her early twenties.

We still haven't confirmed her identity yet.

The block's been fully evacuated?

The city records list it as uninhabited.

but it's become a den for the homeless.

So be prepared.

A paddy wagon?

The guys you're about to meet,

don't think of them as human beings.

Their Psycho-Pass Crime Coefficients

are above regulation value.

They're all deeply disturbed.

They would normally be completely isolated

as latent criminals.

But we allow them into the outside world

for a single purpose.

To flush out and hunt down criminals just like themselves.

They're nothing more than hunting dogs.

The best way to track a beast is with a beast.

We call them enforcers.

Each one of them is your subordinate.

You said we were gettin' a rookie,

but you didn't say she would be so cute!

This is Inspector Akane Tsunemori.

From today on, you'll know her as your second owner.

Uh. It's a pleasure to meet you!

I'm assuming you've already been briefed

on the target's data, right?

He's backed himself into a corner

and we're gonna tighten the noose.

We'll split into two groups and zero in.

Alright, Kunizuka and Kagari. You two are with me.

The other two are with Inspector Tsunemori.

Roger that, sir.

Why do they get the babe and I get stuck with your ugly mug?

Man, that guy has no sense of humor.

'Cuz he knows you weren't joking.

Have fun out there.

So, uh. What should I do now?

You could order us to take a coffee break

and sit on our asses.

I don't think we'd argue with that.

Why don't you try earning your paycheck.

How's that sound?

No reason for ya to look so nervous, little lady.

You've used a Dominator before, haven't you?

Well I've received basic training,

Then you know that it's a gun that reads

the Psycho-Pass of the target you're aiming at.

The safety is only released

when it registers the target as a latent criminal.

All you've gotta do is follow the Dominator's commands.

If it says shoot, then shoot.

That simple, huh?

The basic mode is set to paralyzer.

As the name implies, it'll only temporarily paralyze the target

so we can take them into custody.

Go on. It's nothin' to be scared of.

Activating Dominator Portable Psychological Diagnosis

and Suppression System.

Now online. User authentication.

Inspector Akane Tsunemori, Public Safety Bureau,

Criminal Investigation Department.

Dominator usage approved. You are a valid user.

You'll get used to that. It's a directional voice.

Only you can hear it since you're holding it.

Before long it'll blend right in with your own thoughts.

What about briefing?

Shouldn't we have a meeting, come up with some kind

of plan on how we're gonna catch this guy?

The two of us'll hunt the prey

and you'll observe our every move.

That's all there is to it.

I was thinking something a little more strategic.

All he's saying is leave it to us.

We may not look it,

but I promise you, we know what we're doing.

Our methods work just fine.

But since you're the inspector. You're responsible for us.

You decide that you don't like the way I'm doing things.

Shoot me with your Dominator.

What?

We're latent criminals too,

no different than the target so paralyze us if you have to.

I guess it might help to know our names.

That stubborn bastard is Shinya Kogami.

And this old bastard is Tomomi Masaoka.

I'm lookin' forward to workin' with ya.

I'm sure you'll do fine.

Oh. Thank you.

Well then. Should we head out?

Until today.

I've lived a more earnest and honest life than anyone.

I've spent my whole life walking on eggshells.

The perfect upright nobody they want us to be,

not bothering anyone and keeping to myself.

Then one time.

One time a street scanner red-flags me

and just like that, they start treating me like a criminal.

It's over for me.

There's no coming back from this.

Basic employment, marriage, it's all impossible now.

Well fine then.

I've restrained myself all this time, but what's the point?

I might as well be what they say I am.

I might as well just kill anyone I feel like!
