Psycho-Pass (PSYCHO-PASS サイコパス)

Our society succeeded in quantifying people's psychological and mental states.

Based on the Psycho-Pass, the numerical value of the soul,

people can be judged before they commit crimes.

They are judged by the Ministry of Welfare's massive surveillance network,

the Sibyl System.

Thanks to this system and a long policy of isolation,

Japan escaped the tragedy of global strife and became the only peaceful nation.

But at what cost?

What have we forgotten?

The answers are shrouded in darkness,

along with the true crimes that lurk in our society.

Draw the knives locked behind your eyelids.

Reap the lives that grow into shackles.

Even the lost memories that flee once they're liberated and banished

Are an everlasting cubism.

Cause I know that in a future gone mad,

Even nightmares are peaceful.

RESET, RESET, yeah.

The midnight sun awakens and turns to a riot.

A gun for a faux-friendly kiss. A knife for a faux-revolutionary hug.

Get rid of it all, even the frozen chains.

Reality is always outside your head.

In a world seen through bestial eyes,

There is neither darkness nor light.

Draw the knives locked behind your eyelids.

Reap the lives that grow into shackles.

Even the false memories that flash before your eyes impatiently and impulsively

Are an everlasting cubism.

#01 Laelaps' Calling

I'm sorry,

Adele.

We get to see one of the world's largest transport drones! What a time to be alive.

It's here.

It is? About time.

It crashed.

You're kidding, right?

How artistic.

"I'm happy."

The Ministry of Welfare has declined to reveal

the Psycho-Pass of Ex-Inspector ... ...,

who was arrested for the ... ... ... of Public Safety.

It's my first day on the job.

It's finally starting, Dad.

Your Psycho-Pass is ...

This is all to protect you from the ... ...

I'll find...

the truth.

Arata.

Arata.

Hey, Arata.

We're almost there.

Get it together.

You'll be directing latent criminals.

They're just people.

They have high crime coefficients. Call me if they give you trouble.

Don't worry, Kei.

It's not like latent criminals have actually committed any crimes.

Don't let our bosses hear you say that.

Yes, sir.

Your symptoms again?

I tried to get some shut-eye, but I couldn't.

Spend more on psychological care.

If that was all it took, we wouldn't be here today, right?

Yeah. This is our first step.

The Drone Administration Bureau claims that the cause

was hastily overhauling cargo drones for passenger use

due to demand created by anti-isolation.

So, an isolationist excuse and a report to go with it?

They believe the passengers may riot.

Seems their view of immigrants hasn't changed.

So, are you an anti-isolationist?

Whatever the case may be, it boils down to what suits the Sibyl System.

A wise answer.

On those grounds, I question our deployment.

It could cause a mental hazard.

Find a chance to hand it off to Drone Administration.

They owe us a favor.

Foreign Affairs isn't here.

They weren't called.

Worried?

Inspector Arata Shindo. I'm taking up my post today.

Inspector Kei Mikhail Ignatov. Likewise.

Good. I have high hopes for you.

I'll leave the rest to you, Chief Shimotsuki.

Yes, Bureau Chief Hosorogi.

I'm not a holo.

Let's start with the initial assessment.

You are to direct enforcers to control the situation,

including providing psychological care to the immigrant passengers.

And don't forget to bring Dominators.

Dominators? You want us to go armed?

By another bureau's request, I order you to suppress the immigrants if they riot.

Understood.

Inspector Shindo, you are to use your Mentalist skills.

And Inspector Ignatov, use your military experience to expedite your duties.

I have to contact Ariake Airport, so the scene is in your hands.

Yes, Chief Shimotsuki, ma'am.

Don't sleep with your eyes open.

Jeez.

The new inspectors are starting today, aren't they?

Can you believe one's an immigrant? Public Safety's not what it used to be.

The immigrant quotas you hear about?

How much do you think he paid for a Public Safety job?

If he can handle the work, who he is doesn't matter.

Enforcers, from this day forth, we will be your supervisors.

Our orders are absolute, and in principle, we do not accept questions.

Yeah, yeah. We know.

Give us your "absolute orders," Inspector.

Well then, activate your Dominators.

Do we need them to investigate a crash?

I said no questions.

Another bureau requested it.

Let's pray we won't need them.

Dominator Portable

Psychological Diagnosis and Suppression System has been activated.

User authentication, Inspector Arata Shindo.

Inspector Kei Mikhail Ignatov.

Enforcer Temma Todoroki.

Enforcer Kazumichi Irie.

Enforcer Mao Kisaragi.

Enforcer Sho Hinakawa.

Public Safety Bureau Criminal Investigation Department,

Dominator usage approval confirmed.

Valid user.

Well?

The two would-be tough guys are planning to trip us up.

The woman and the thin guy are watching how we act.

I'll take the shady guys and monitor the rescuees.

You examine the drone.

Got it.

You'd die if you fell in this, huh?

It's contaminated water. Want to give it a try?

Very funny.

That scared me!

Get a hold of yourself.

Everyone, please get in line.

And no cutting.

How long will this take? Please hurry.

It won't take long, so please get in line.

Why are you running Psycho-Pass Hue Checks?

Our Crime Coefficients were fine at the immigration check.

Please get back in line and wait your turn.

We have permanent residency. Why do we get treated differently?

It's regulation. Please wait your turn.

Temma.

Have the airport send interpretation devices and mental care drones for them.

Why me? That's not my job.

They've pulled guns on us.

Hey!

What are you doing?

We can speed things up with these.

Any latent criminals here?

We'll enforce you.

No!

Crime Coefficient is over 100.

Enforcement mode is Non-Lethal Paralyzer.

Take careful aim

- and subdue the target. - See? He's a bad guy.

Nobody move!

Time out, Inspector.

We were just doing our jobs.

Don't act without permission. I'll enforce you two next time.

Get as many mental care drones as possible ASAP.

Understood?

Y-Yes, sir.

Is the evacuation complete?

One person unaccounted for.

Mr. Asahi Rick Fellows' status is unknown.

He's an accountant for Hyper Transport Co.

Employees should have received priority care.

According to the records, Rick was in this seat.

It's broken.

So is this.

Inspector?

Are you sleeping?

It's raining.

I'm going to be killed.

What is he doing?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

Do you want to die?

We've got to save him!

Hurry!

I heard you almost drowned yourself, you idiot.

You're quick to call me an idiot.

I just took a little dip.

Don't do a Mental Trace on a dead man when I'm not there to hold your rope.

It's a shame we were too late.

Was it an accidental death?

No, that doesn't add up.

He was frightened before the crash.

That's why he left his seat and ran away.

He couldn't call for help due to a device error.

His employer was on board as well. Let's ask him about it.

We've got a weirdo, huh?

But he found a missing person.

Probably coincidence.

What were you thinking?

Public Safety doesn't need to mobilize for an accident!

Mr. Yonehara, this was an official request.
